EPTHowever, in the opening I think there should have been a section for "Others to look out for" because there's also:
- anypro
- Maru
- Nettie
- cOre
- GhostKing (Byun)
and a lot of others that are underrated.
But thanks for the writeup, a good read!

And your argument that he ALMOST lost to these players at WCG and Blizzcon proves nothing because he did not lose to them. The last time MVP lost to an early game bust with regularity was almost a year ago against July, this is not a trend. I don't believe that I need to list the myriad of accomplishments MVP has to back up my point. But can you honestly tell me in a best of one you would pick someone from Zenex or Prime to beat MVP? I would question both your intelligence and your sanity if that were the case. Almost beating him does matter since the matches in question were bo3. He dropped games, meaning he can just as easily lose in a bo1 which was the point I was making. Nobody has advanced to the point that they're nearly unbeatable even against lower-tier players in bo1, case and point: Tails hasn't really amounted to much of anything in Korea, yet he saved his team in the playoffs against IM by beating MVP AND Nestea. Go ahead and list his 9 titles or w/e the hell ridiculous number he achieved in 2011, idc, I know he's the favorite. The argument is whether or not he is beatable, which almost everyone has proven to be in bo1. Would not be surprised at all if Creator, MKP, Line, etc managed to snipe him. Or hell, just call qxc back :p. Now if it's bo3+ that's something to be shocked about. | ||

About IM, when I said that MarineKing and Polt had probably the worst stats for players of their caliber, I immediately thought of Mvp and NesTea, who failed to deliver in the last GSTL. However, they did good in the previous GSTL, but I don't think that their coach strategy (sending out their B teamers and such), plus the fact that NesTea doesn't really want to play in the GSTL (as said in multiple interviews) will allow Incredible Miracle to be a top contender. | ||

This and the TSL thread have got me thinking to maybe make a "Why FXO will win the GSTL"... hmm... | ||

 I've been hyping prime for some time now to my friends, but few believe me  I do think Prime is on fire! 6 Prime members qualified for code A... 6!! The KSL has showcased some very nice games from their members as well! Even more players are looking scary as of late that the OP didn't mention: Maru and cOre for instance. Other teams have a very decent shot, I wouldn't be surprised if SlayerS took it home. But I'm really feeling the Prime Hype :D | ||

I hope we would get one for every team until GSTL kicks off but i guess theres little time left. Also i think its time for Team Symbols for Starcraft 2 | ||

As a huge MKP and Prime fan I hope they will be able to win this time around. But I believe Prime will really need MKPs a-game this season annyoung/bumblebee can be good against some players but they can easily be as bad as the best for no particular reasons, and Creator not being an unknown player anymore teams will prepare for him a sniper. So Thanks a lot for hyping up! this community really needs this kind of posts to build up hype for tournaments and not just relay on the website writers to do the job for them. | ||

But thanks for the writeup, a good read! I hesitated but since in teamleagues there are only 4 or 5 players per team allowed to play, I wrote about the players that are the most likely to play and will have the most impact. I talked about cOre and Daisy, Classic a bit (forgot anypro and Nettie) who will probably be used against teams weak versus protoss. I would have done an entire paragraph for Byun, who I consider a very strong terran, probably the best that isn't in the GSL right now. Unfortunately with the "CoCa - Byun" case, he is probably still not allowed to play so we will not see him this season :/. edit : oh and if you plan to make a thread about your favorite team, go for it :D. | ||

Great read , i really got my hopes high for Prime to win the GSTL , they have improved after losing 2 of their best players ( polt and honghun ) , and MKP is back really really back. Now we also know that he speaks English and is a good caster . The only thing i disagree is with TSL because i think that IM , OGS or FXO are scarier than tsl ( even without Mc ) | ||

(I know this thread is old but since Prime just won I think it's ok to revive it). | ||
