Let's be objective here. GSTL is a side show for Gom. They give it minimal support and have shown minimal ambition in expanding it. The real prize for winning the GSTL isn't the pittance they call a prize pool but the sponsorship they can command for placing better in their league and showing off the depth of their talent pool. I'm sort of hoping, with viewer competition from the western leagues, there is enough of a change in Gom's viewership spending habits that make them believe they have to create a better team league to increase their revenue. | ||

EDIT: uhhh, just noticed oGs and ST are in the same bracket for Round 1, damn it all I'm pretty sure IM has a stacked team. its just that the whole getting into Code A from Code B is brutal and I know that there are hidden Code A/Code S players in all the teams but have not gotten the opportunity to qualify. | ||

Liquid could probably do it if everyone they had was in Korea but right now they dominate the world xD | ||

Don't think they're gonna make it out of the First round with SlayerS as their First opponent, But for sure they're gonna put up a Fight with  Byun,  Kyrix and CoCa. | ||

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? They've proven it by winning and getting to the finals both times in each GSTL? They did not factor that in and only counted Code S and Code A. That's why it's stupid. | ||

IM's results are 2 GSL's , 1 GSWC, 1 code A, 1 runner up code A, 1 finalist code S (this season, possibly 1 more gsl), 1 GSTL and 1 runner up GSTL. Apparently having 10 mediocre players is better than having 3 tip top players now... on a 1v1 game... It's ridiculous that the unquestionably best team, which has the most results BY FAR is out of the team tournament. | ||

It should also be calculated by the players top placing/most recent placing. A ro16 code A player getting over half the points of a GSL champion is hilariously stupid. | ||

If memory serves me right SlayerS were an upcoming team, look what the GSTL did for them. Only things I could think of to make it work could be: 1) Ro16 - issue being, there aren't this many teams unless they expand to "Code B". 2) Provide variety to the points given based on results - That is: the grand finalists might earn a team 1.9 points, whilst a 4th place Code S group-er might only get 1.1 points for example. 3) A "points" limit which potentially gives lower point teams an extra round. Allows for a "Ro9/10/11/12" for example. Either way, a solution should be engineered. They can't just hope on the promise that a few teams will control most of the points so its easy to make a Ro8 forever. Heck, if they want to get international players, they are guaranteeing more teams will take points here and there. EDIT: 4) they could use the same points rankings used for the Super Tournament: pooling the points earned for each player as potential qualifying points for the team. The Super Tournament is not shy on players from different teams... Or just you know, seed the previous finalists? It was just as stupid when they almost didn't make it into GSTL 2 (they were the 8th seed) after winning GSTL 1. GOM should have realised at the time something like this might happen. How they are gonna get IM back in now I don't really know. It was easier as long as they were in it and performing consistently, then there was a case for just seeding them as a top team. They could as you say use the player ranking points but then you could potentially have a team with MVP and none other at all and they would probably still be in the top 8. Even if they couldn't even field two players. Btw, if MVP had retained his Code S spot they'd be above fOu Edit: I'm sure they'll be in next time though. fOu has one player in Code S and that's it. So they need at least 5 players in Code A from the 16 spots in the open qualification to pass IM's 3 code S and 1 code A. And looking at fOu's line up that doesn't seem likely. And of course more IMs can still qualify as well. | ||
