Theres plenty of good teams and players even without IM. Though IM instead of fOu would make the top bracket more interesting on paper. | ||

He wasn't commenting on the difficulty of winning the last GSTL. Just that they the have an easy path this time around. As they should being the reigning seeded champions. | ||

GSTL point system should reward teams by performance per season just like GSL, not by amount of members. I think I will pass on this GSTL and wait for the super tournament. | ||

A basketball analogy would be, would you let the Lakers/Celtics/Knicks play in the playoffs even if they're not in the top 8 of their conference? You can argue that IM is one of the best teams, I would agree, but there's no definitive metric to prove that. As well, past performance isn't indicative of future performance (sure, Nestea and MVP are past GSL winners, but so is FruitDealer - one's performance at any time can fluctuate quite significantly). The only metric available is the one GOM set out - # of Code A/S players. Sure, it is flawed, but it is the methodology they are using. Maybe GOM needs to revise its scoring method, but personally I think it's okay - based on results IM will be in next time and can dominate once again =) | ||

I agree, its not Nearly as exciting without IM in it for me. They were the only team that showed confidence in their Zerg players. Not to mention i think, Nestea and Losira are the top 2 Zergs in the world. Im surprised they would hold GSTL before Code A qualifiers, because Technically Fou doesn't have Choya or Leenock in code A currently. Meaning their rating is inflated, or rather ambiguous. I hope Min, Yughio, Revival, Coca, Kyrix, Zenio, FruitDealer, Violet and DRG get sufficient playing time. If not its gonna be such a TvP TvT or PvP fest. | ||

Except the last time Nestea played Mvp, he got his ass kicked 3-1. But please continue your lecture about why it's all mvp's fault. | ||

The other teams that are ahead of IM have proven, by showing results, that they are indeed a top team. I do agree that IM is a very good team, but if they aren't proving it consistantly then where is the credibility? You nailed it. I whole heartedly agree with you; 100%. I support GOMtv completely disregarding their previous tournament placements to rank a team, as that would be clearly the most illogical thing one could think of. | ||

IM is a strong team with more depth than people are giving them credit for. Hopefully Genius and Keen have some epic ceremonies to make up for the lack of IM in the league. | ||
