It's a TEAM league! SlayerS won last time, not because the individual players were better than IM, because they were a better team than IM. In the same vein I think GOM needs to sort out the system so good teams get to play in the Ro8, not just teams that have good individual players in them.

Hopefully we have a full fledged proleague with matches every day, much like the BW proleague.

It seems a little odd that the team with the best results in GSTL and some very good individual results (Finals in Code S and A) is excluded...

Apart from that the beach map looks cool, want to see that in action.

It's really disappointing that IM won't be in the GSTL May, but I don't think that GOM should change the format just to accommodate them. Hopefully IM's players will perform during the next qualifiers so their place in the GSTL will be secure...

Very nice map. I like how the middle has a very small choke with the trees and anyone who is simply attack moving their army to the other base will be forced to siphon their troops through the choke and essentially leave themselves open for a devastation counterattack.

The small elevated portion in each main is rather interesting. It seems ideal for a place to hide hidden tech or even proxies. Can't wait to see BoxeR try to drop marines/scvs there and start a lategame bunker rush xD

Because the choke for the natural is so huge I don't think this map will encourage as big of a macro game as a map such as Tal'darim does but that in of itself isn't a terrible thing considering GSTL already has plenty large maps.

That map looks really nice. I like the beach theme. It looks like it might be easier to take a gold third than what i can only assume would be your natural third.

Of course they can't change it for this season, that would be ridiculous.
But they definitely need to change it for the next season, it's kind of stupid that fOu is rated higher even though all their Code A players lost in the first round.

I totally support Gom´s decision there, it wouldn´t be fair to change the rule just to get one team who didn´t ACHIEVE it by the performance of ALL their players.

The only change i could agree on, and definitely not for this season for obvious reason of fairness, would be to limit the number of players giving points to a team to a number like 6. 6 good players for a team league seems better than 10 barely code A. This would be useless at the moment though, and would only be really justified if the players taking part in the league were the players giving points to their team in the qualification process. They should nevertheless think about it before a really bad team gets in over a good one only because they had 12 players in code A against 4 code S and 4 code A (this is definitely not the situation at the moment, IM has just enough qualifying players to make a full line-up, their bad).

P.S. : once again, i know such a situation is very unliekly, but that would be really stupid.

EDIT : also for next year changing the moment when the points are counted to make it after up/down matches would make more sense, that is true.

whats the point in not letting IM join? isnt this supposed to support esports and have the "TOP" teams play?


I think TOP is fine but leaving this adjective aside from the important part TEAM is an error. 3-4 players does not make a team better than one who places 5-9 players in the same code A and S.
Can we snipe it? Yes we can!

seems like MVP just snatched up players who had qualified for code A. I'm probably wrong though.

It seems MVP had 4 people qualifying that carried the MVP tag before. One of the few clanless people were snatched up by... IM. That's Nuts.

But the rules aren't good. A major Code S player is not worth only 60% more than a Ro32 Code Aer.

What they should do is base it off total team gsl points.

MPV has 10504
Nestea has 4749
LosirA has 1030.

That's 16,283 for IM.

Team MVP has 2,211 from 10 different players.

This is just a horrible suggestion. It would mean any previously great team not being currently relevant anymore stays in GSTL forever. It also means that 1 code S player can be worth more points than 5 code S players. So a team with 1 good player would make it into GSTL opposed to a team with 5 good players.

I saw the suggestion that as a minor adjustment to the rule they can invite the two finalists as a default and then pick the 6 next highest teams. I think that's the best way to go about it in the future.


That would be easy enough to fix. You would just use the points from the last 2 or 3 tournaments, or have points deteriorate over time. There are a lot of better systems, I was just disputing your claim that the system was good enough and would be viable 99% of the time.

Regardless, Team MVP's 3 Ro32 Code A players should not be worth 3 points, while Nestea and MVP are worth 2.6.

Anyway, I appreciate everything you do Nazgul!

dont see the problem with IM not being in it... the formulae is their, it was used previously, nobody complained then. IM needs to have more players peform in the gsl.
