Don't really get what exactly you're referring to, but even with 5 players on F. United, they should be able to play even the Bo9 finals (although there was an 8 player limit before, which probably was relaxed for them). You only need 5 players in the finals, which is the bare minimum. I would guess GSL are trying to get that number to increase though.

6 is not enought. 9 people needed in final

YES GSTL is the most exciting format of competition atm, making it a more regular thing can only mean it'll be awesome!!

No. GSL uses the winners stay/all-kill format for their team leagues and have not made any announcements that they're changing it so 5 is enough in the Bo9 finals. See GSTL 1, 2 and 3 finals and count how many players played for each team.
And even if they changed it to the Proleague style, usually you only need 8 players, with the 9th match being an Ace match allowing you to repick another player to play again.

But they wouldn't without Sase or whoever is the 3rd player...
Soccer doesn't really play SC2 so they are only left with 4. There has to be atleast 1 more player joining them.

I hope Thorzain's GSL team does well in this coming GSTL.

Soccer does play SC2. He tried to qualify for the last GSL. Ironically lost to Moon in the second last round before Moon himself lost to TopClassfOu. I remember, because I was compiling information for the live updates for the qualifier thread. (Don't ask me how I remember these stuff).
EDIT: Also, WMF could start recruiting for their "Warcraft 3 (read: SC2)" team to expand it and if SaSe was joining the team, I think GSL would have announced it.

Is it me or is group A seem more stacked?

Ah I thought he gave up on SC2 a while ago. He's been pretty active in the WC3 world the last few months. I guess he must be splitting his time...

He was talking about teams into the playoffs, but your rejection was still spot-on.

Yeah, the feeling I get from the WMF players is that they are really splitting their time hardcore and that they only surface when GSL qualifications come nearer.

Thursday is derived from Thor's Day. The Roman's equated the Thor with Jupiter (lightning Gods).
Friday is derived from Freyja's Day, who as the Goddess of Love, the Roman's equated with Venus.
Oh ya, I was going to comment on what a good move this was going to be for We Made Fox. I wonder if they were always planning on 'adopting' the foreigners from the exchange program.
I saw in some old interviews that they were hoping to build up the team to give Moon, Lyn, Soccer some practice partners instead of having them fend for themselves by making friends with all the other pro-houses.

this looks massively awesome
can't wait

This is how GSTL was meant to look; very happy to see the team leagues twice a week.
Group A is looking really strong, especially because the bottom three teams according to rank (MVP, Prime, F.United) all should perform well in the team league format. TSL is actually one of the weaker teams in the group, so that says a lot. The most obvious prediction is to look for Slayers to stay hot.
Group B could be extremely competitive, but this hinges largely on NS and FXO staying with the pack and not falling to bottom. With NesTea and MVP, look for IM to stay on top of the leaderboard all season long. Hopefully the other teams' strategies evolve and coaches focus on preparing snipers to take games off of the two IM superstars.

Actually in CJKV language, people use sun, moon, fire, water, tree, metal, soil to indicate sunday, monday,tuesday,....
And yes, they do call Jupiter literally tree planet, Mars = fire planet,.v.v.v..
That's why Thursday actually means day of tree, Friday means day of metal, not Jupiter and Venus. But yeah, Gom really knows how to word play though.:D
There're so many games, so little time  GSTL ftw!!!!

I really like the combination of Jupiter and Venus leagues, that seeds 1&3 from one and 2 from other are bracketed together for the finals. This should hopefully prevent a "semi-finals are the real finals" scenario.

Format is like winner's league for sure, right? I hope so.

Thanks so much for posting. This is gonna be sick.
