I see sending Sound as in investment, even if his team can't send him he should send himself. He's one of the strongest players at the tournament and very likely to make enough prize money to come out of the event in profit. I have a feeling the GSTL is partly a reason for the pull out, the finals in Vegas ups the ante for the remaining teams and Sound is probably the 2nd best Terran on Startale, so they might need him against Prime. edit: Its also great news for Elfi. | ||

You really over-estimate Sound. Yeah he is korean but he is only an average korean. He would be favorite to get out of his group but not go very far after that. | ||

Also, are either of these players on the GSTL roster? Sound is not a regular GSTL player, but they may use him and I am quite sure that he will participate in the qualifiers. So will HuK, Naniwa, Jinro, SaSe, MorrOw etc hopefully. They are in korea after all... | ||

Sound is by far no regular GSTL player for ST and they have a deep enough lineup to find a substitution for him. But IEM would be a chance for him and the team, to get some worldwide audience. I really can't understand this decision. (especially since Parting was send to MLG with ST having an important GSTL match against IM and with Parting being actually their strongest player!) Main difference. Parting had a fully paid trip to NYC. IEM? Not the case. | ||
