MVP being in Code A basically lost IM their seat :\ oGs has consistently shown poor performances in the GSTL. While I think they should do well, I'm not optimistic. | ||

They should give some rank points for placing 1st or 2nd in GSTL and that would solve this problem. Yes, it's true that they did well in the tournament itself. However, what I think Gom is trying to do is counterbalance some of the issues the Winner's League Format has with their system. There are 2 major formats for team competition - all kill, and standard. All kill is obviously favored towards the teams that have that 1 (or 2) stars, and maybe snipers, where the standard system is more beneficial to balanced teams with well-rounded players. You can't really do a mixture of the two systems within a tournament. But with GOM's format, they take care of the "needing a balanced team" requirement via their qualification procedure, then give the really strong players a chance to show their stuff in the actual tournament. It seems pretty fair to me, although I'lll agree it hurts to not see the stars in this tournament.

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? Would you really consider teams like Zenex and fou to be better than IM? Both have 5 players in the GSL, while IM has 4, just 1 less. Yet IM players have consistently performed better. | ||

These are professional players, and playing this game is their livelihood. The rules may not be perfect, and by all means consider changing them for future tournaments, but not this one. You can't arbitrarily change the scoring system after the game is over. p.s. prediction: MVP wins the tournament. A brand new team with some strong players and a hell of a lot to prove. | ||
