IM will be back for the next team league.

IIRC FOU has only 1 player in the GSL. If they get any more it will be from qualifiers

GSL announced they gonna change format for next seasons. So like 2 teams from finals will stay for next season and stuff like that ;p

I figured out what the current point standings would be if they redid it after May had been played:

In parenthesis afterwards are the point changes from losing in RO32 of May's Code A and from falling in the Up/Down matches.

Team League Participants:
1. oGs : (7+2) 13.2 (-0.6)
2. TSL : (6+0) 9.6 (-0.4)
3. Prime : (4+2) 8.4 (-0.6)
4. SlayerS : (1+5) 6.6 (-2)
5. StarTale : (3+1) 5.8 (-3)
5. MVP : (3+1) 5.8 (-1.8)
8. ZeNEX : (3+0) 4.8 (-1.4)
11. fOu : (1+0) 1.6 (-4.0)

Teams that didn't qualify:
5. IM : (3+1) 5.8 (+0.6)
9. Liquid : (1+1) 2.6 (-0.6)
10. NS호서 : (0+2) 2 (-1.6)
12. FOX : (0+1) 1 (-0.6)

I think it's pretty obvious who the outlier is.... and which team was the ONLY ONE to gain points instead of losing them during the season. And that outlier isn't a scrappy new team, they're an old and tired team with 1 good player.

IM isn't an old and tired team with "1" good player. They have several good players. Nestea just won the Code S championship. MVP got silver in the Code A championship and Losira made it to the ro8 to lose to sCfou. They definitely have more than "1" good player.

I think he was referring to fOu though I may be mistaken.

Either way, fOu is looking VERY weak now. Choya was hanging on for awhile there but finally fell... Leenock just disappeared from code A... and the rest have been struggling to make it into code A.

I support GOM for what they did, about not letting IM in. While it's true IM is one of the strongest teams, they have a rather shallow line-up overall with a heavy reliance on MVP, Nestea and Losira most of the time.

The purpose of the team league to test who has the better team overall, having one star player will only get you so far.

lol, to have 3 very good players is a shallow line-up... I dont know what to say.

Here's the thing... It's a "good move" by GomTV because they really didn't have any other options; letting IM in just because they're IM would've created outrage. They had to stick by the rules. It shouldn't have gotten here in the first place. Getting into Code A is a crap shoot with all the quality players -- and cheesers -- that are in the qualification rounds. IM has players like Yoda, YongHwa, and Seed that have shown us that they are most definitely Code A quality and probably better than a lot of Code A players. Unfortunately, that information is more subjective than objective and can't really be used as an argument for IM's strength. It is in Gom's interest to have IM participate in the tournament because of the fan base. There is no way fOu is a better overall team. They don't have individuals that excel consistently, and have continually been humiliated in the team league. Same with ZENEX. GomTV REALLY needed to see a situation coming like this beforehand where mediocrity is actually rewarding teams over proven excellence. You can't honestly say IM hasn't made their statement these last two seasons. Their "up and coming" kids have been roflstomping nerds in the team league, and they only used Mvp and Nestea when they absolutely had to.

agreed, players like Yoda, YongHwa and seed are amazing players, and definitely worthy of kicking in in Code A. However, one way or another they did not make it to Code A. The rules are clear as day, and fOu simply have too many players in Code A. They do deserve their spot, as much as any other team. If they didn't, they wouldn't be in the GTSL. Simple.

That is the worst logic ever.

If that is the case, then why is fou in it? They have no depth at all, only one player in the whole GSL. IM has 3 championship quality players and proven performers in the GSTL (IMSeed who got a triple kill against oGs and IMYounghwa who is 7-2 in GSTL).

This team is 10 times stronger and deeper than fOu.
