Group B definitely looks way tougher than Group A and even the two seeded teams. I'd say that the winner will either be one of the Group B teams or DRG.

Don't worry, the IM coach is infamous for bad decision-making. And TSL has more solid players across the board. It's just a matter of when they decide to use Polt. ^^


Yeah okay rofl

Totally agree with the fact that the IM coach is infamous for bad decision-making though.


IM's B-team is really unstable. They've succeeded and flopped in equal measure during team leagues.

Edit: lolololol I just realized that TSL has no protosses.


Man, I recently read they have XXXXXXX, he's supposed to be super awesome.

Prefer the Proleague method! While all-kills are cool the alternative feels like it gives the teams more depth and less chance of one player carrying the team to victory *cough* MvP *cough*.


MVP has a pretty fucking deep line-up. They've won games without DongRaeGu, and have potential anchors from multiple races.

DRG all-killed Prime, got 3 kills against SlayerS, 3 kills against IM and 3 kills against oGs.
The only other player to do remotely that well was Genius who all-killed NsHoseo so there was no need for DRG to come in and clean things up.

MvP might have a good lineup but they haven't really shown that they can get by without one player having to carry them through.


May I have to remind you that they WON the GSTL finals WITHOUT DRG?


Indeed, and that was when Genius all-killed NSHoSeo, as he just said.

We'd all be interested in hearing! :D

Still won't be able to compete with IM though. Unless MC moving to SK is really a cover for him really moving to TSL...

Seriously, though, can't wait.

That wasn't an all-kill, as Keen had won a game, and the GSTL finals was versus Prime (against whom DRG did not play either).

Even without MC, oGs should be able to beat Zenex no problem. What happens after that is anyone's guess.

I'm confused about the format of individual matches. Are they going to change the full league format (where one player can all-kill) to 5 players from each team duking it out? the info about this said change is nowhere to be found either here or on GOM, or am I missing something?

Still really disappointed that they decided to go through with this. Fantasy GSTL was so much fun.

Now with the vague IPL tweet, has there been anymore developments on the rumors of the possibility of the GSTL being held in the US?

Can't wait for the season to start. I would like to see Slayers win, but their zerg lineup still seems so weak. If only DRG had joined Slayers and Coca had not been banned. Then again, that would have been a terribly overpowered team.
