There has been a change in the lineup and schedule for the upcoming GSTL Season 2, starting on May 28th.
Team oGs has recently announced the team's dissolution and will therefore unfortunately not be able to participate in GSTL Season 2.
We are very sad to see such a successful team that has been an integral part of the StarCraft II scene since the beginning leave the scene and would like to wish the players, coach, coaching staff and contributors the best for the future.
There will be no change to the format, but all scheduled matches for team oGs will be counted as forfeit, resulting in a walkover for the opponent team. The schedule of the GSTL will be adjusted accordingly.
As a consequence of oGs dropping out of the GSTL Season 2 line up, the number of matches in Round 1 Group B will be reduced from 5 to 3. oGs opponents will be given walkovers, as has been done in similar situations in GSL group play.
In other news, SlayerS and Evil Geniuses are partnering up and will participate in GSTL Season 2 as a joint team. EG players have been succesfully competing in the GSL in the past, but until now we have been unable to see them perform in the team league. We are therefore eagerly anticipating EG and SlayerS performance in the upcoming GSTL.
Furthermore, LG-IM will be partnering with SK Gaming, so look forward to seeing SK.MC back in the team league again!
GSTL Season 2 is looking to become the most competitive and international team league yet, with the likes of Teamliquid, Fnatic and EG eager to prove themselves in the most difficult team league in the world.
Be sure to tune in when we kick off on May 28th!

Nestea, MC and MVP all on the same team?
.....
That should be against the rules.
|
o shit, a team with MVP Nestea and MC!!
|
|
|
well that's just imba....you have Nestea (though slacking), MVP and MC all three heavy champions of the three races on the same team for GSTL
LOL
this should be interesting

I was wondering what would happen, wanted to see a lesser known Korean team take the challange, but ah well
|
Nestea, MVP and MC...
Everybody runnnnnnnnnnnnn

....
i thought blizzard was bad at balancing, but holy shit gomTV cant balance teams correctly.

LG-IM-SK now has more championships than every other team combined.
|
This sounds about as right as putting all of TBLS on SKT1. But I'm okay with it. It just means that I will be guaranteed some Liquibet points 
|
So 8, possibly 9, GSL Championships among LG-IM+SK, players. INSANE

I wonder if the BW guys will come in here and crucify you

Wellllllll, let's admit that right now the trio MVP, Nestea, MC isn't as absolutely-owning-everything-in-the-world sort of dominant as it was last year. It's still super scary though.
|
WHAAAAAAAT MC MVP AND NESTEA WHAAAAAT!!!!!!!!
|
Congrats on your team league victory LG-IM-SK! Haha.
Now if only the IM coach chose to use any of these players...
Expecting the standard lineup to be Yongwha, DreamerTT, True and Yoda. And maybe Happy for the ace.
|
SK better stay the fuck away from IM's players.
|
LG-IM is going to win this season.
|
If this was May 2011 IM-LG-SK would be unstoppable. However, this is 2012 and players have caught up and new stars have risen. Makes them strong, but not undefeatable. If only coL players (NaDa, Heart, Killer, GanZi) were also joining up with a team or partaking. Would put all major Koreans on foreign teams in the GSTL.

That is gonna be a really good team, although MC and Nestea haven't been in the best of shape lately.

I'm wondering, is IM trying to spell something?

It won't be a problem for Mvp and Nestea because they have " top tier " salary according to the press release, I just don't want SK stealing away Losira/Happy/Seed or something like that.

|
hahaha that just isnt fair... MC, MVP, Nestea, thats like every GSL champion right there =/
|
Eh, this would have meant more 6-12 months ago. Now, Nestea is declining, MVP is fighting a recurring injury (albeit valiantly), and MC is on the decline.

That stacked GSL champ IM line up da fuq

IM will take this GSTL with mc training with mvp ... he will fix his lately PvT problems, and nestea his ZvP ones. IM to take it all.

I'd laugh my ass off if MC wins the MVP for the match.
"here we have our MVP, LG-IM-SK-MC"

that would be epic if Slayers vs IM LG SK in finals, and MMA beats MC, Nestea, MVP in a row

Can't they just keep oGs in the GSTL and play stock footage from previous seasons so we can pretend they are still together?

lol mvp/nestea/mc what a combination
I remember back when I used to wonder what the team leagues would be like if they were all in the same team
|
What's amazing about this is how the IM coach will still manage to throw the match with his picks.
|
MC, MVP and Nestea should just throw money at the other team for their ceremonies.
Imagine this team 1 year ago though. I could actually have seen GOM disallowing it back then.

The first match is probably going to go something like this; Horror, DreamerTT, True, Ready. Then hope MVP, Nestea or MC can 3 kill.

Seeing as line-ups were never a problem, the problem was MVP and NesTea not wanting to play/not living up to their name-value. The only time line-ups were a problem was vs FXO and they admitted to underestimating them then.

so sad to see oGs bite the dust. I blame LoL. That game can go to hell. I dream of the day when a lot more foreign teams can join the GSTL.
|
The really gross thing is that SK gaming is the 3rd most earned team in Sc2 with only one player on their team, IM-SK total earnings are nearing the millions mark.
|
Well nestea hasnt been doing excellent as of late but the triple threat is still pretty present.. 3 champs, tons of GSL belts..
I wonder how many EG players are gonna get put out? I doubt any foreigners, just JYP and Nada probably...
Maybe Thorzain could compete, nobody else on EG is good enough to take games off of top koreans though...

I'd honestly pick HuK over JYP for a PvP, but then again they have CoCa to send out for a ZvP, or PuMa lol.

I don't know how IM does it but it's got fantastic sponsorship and now a partnership with SK. Will be good to see MC playing, though i hope Seed and Yongwha are still the main protoss players being used.
Anyway looking forward to this, gogo IM and Liquid !
|
Kinda sad that there's no CoL partnership now that ColMvP is gone...
Still glad to have MC, Mvp and Nestea on the same team... holy shit!
I just hope that the IM coach just plays their B-team with Happy as ace again ._.
|
totally illegal for all 3 top gsl players to be in the same team
|
Hooooray.....90% of the GSL trophies are gonna stand on the same rack somewhere in a single room. I better find out where that room is and sneak in in the middle of the night and........
|
|
|
so sick, MC along with Nestea and MVP :D
|
Will have to make sure to watch IM nights now I suppose. But doubt we will see MVP/Nestea really participate. Legendary to think of all of them on the same team.
|
Slayers + EG = SlEG?
SK+IM = SKIM (milk)?
:D?

LG-IM-SK-MC and LG-IM-SK-MVP Holy shit, it's like alphabet practice just reading the team sheet.

wowow, Mc, Nestea and MvP in one team ? Holy shit, this is going to be awesome !!
|
Bah, please GOM, for the love of Esports, bring the Round Robin format back. I miss my Fantasy League.
|
Sad that oGs disbanded but I would like to think it was not for any reason other than:
MC is playing with IM, so MC, MVP, and Nestea are on the same team for GSTL, well better to disband than embarrass ourselves.
|
Am I the only one who finds that putting together two teams for a team league is stupid? This way we don't get to enjoy neither of the teams to full extend.
|
so who from the EG foreigners will be in Korea during the GSTL, besides HuK obviously.

The problem is that it is extremely expensive for foreign teams to find housing for their players. If only a few of a teams players are in Korea, it's far less expensive to partner with a Korean team.
It's all about money at the end of the day.

I think everyone has the same thought:
MVP/Nestea/MC on one team... :o

Hm, because I think that "team" never existed.
Edit: Holy shit, it did?! http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/YellOw
In 2002, YellOw, along with NaDa and MuMyung, moved to the new team Ideal Space, led by Sir@Soni, Combi, and BoxeR. Though the team was chock-full of top-class players, with YellOw and BoxeR placing 4th and 2nd in the SKY 2001 OSL (both losing to GARIMTO, BoxeR's father decided that Ideal Space's lack of strong Protoss players prevented him from winning. Furthermore, with so many strong players playing in tournaments, it was inevitable that teammates would play each other, as seen in YellOw's loss to MuMyung in the KPGA Winner's Championship finals, making practice awkward. BoxeR soon left the team to create a new team, Orion, later to become SK Telecom T1. With BoxeR's departure, the team soon fell apart, and YellOw left for the recently-formed and well-funded KTF MagicNs; NaDa soon followed.

I don't know how anyone can enjoy GSTL with things like this. Winners league and teams partner up with each other left and right just kills what team leagues is all about.

This must be dustin browder and david kim's doing... there is no way something this imba is going to be allowed.

Best Coach/Manager in Sc2.
BTW, to those crying about partnerships and whatnot, do you know how expensive it is to get a foreign team in Korea just to practice for the GSTL? Partnerships are a cheap and easy way to get foreign teams some representation in Korean team events, and the same for Koreans playing in other countries.

You're absolutely right. SK seem like cheapskates, simply buying out a champion, and skimping on an actual 'team'. This way they don't need a teamhouse, don't need to grow players, and only pay 1 ticket. This time they even manage to attach their name alongside IM by loaning 1 player. Come on now...
It was even worse before, when they were simply "partnering" with oGs, honestly just invest in a team already.

It's just a true shame to see a team that used to be one of the best in Korea (and consequently one of the best in the world) gone.
And yeah, MC/Nestea/MVP is clearly imbalanced, and blizzard needs to nerf all of the races.

Before you get excited but check out MC's w/l as oGs closer.
I think he will be first pick to try to get an early kill but leave the hard stuff to MVP.

This, and the walk overs have me a little upset. How many teams can partner up together? I just don't understand that really, it's pretty stupid. I also don't get why their giving walk overs 11 days before the matches begin, find a new team to replace OGS?
Oddly enough, this has me more upset than excited, lol.

MVP probably wont even play in GSTL to be honest. With his wrists, I expect him to take a break after GSL Finals.

I'm pretty sure that has more to do with quality of their players and their (mostly individual) accomplishments, and not so much with the coaching decisions in GSTL.

Just because they have three Aces doesn't mean all three of them will be used in every single team match. Sometimes, the team will want to invest into newer/upcoming players and give them a TV match. Also, the team may want to use a "lesser" player as a specific sniper/matchup specialist. Also, the Ace players may need to practice for their individual leagues, or isn't in shape that particularly week. Look at Broodwar's proleague in the past, and you will see that newer and "lesser" players on the A-Team roster gets played quite a bit over the superstars. That said, MC makes IM's roster really damn scary.

Find a new team? What team can they just find? All the Korean teams are there + TL and Fnatic. And you act like 11 days is a long time to find a new team to commit to a long term league that will prevent them from playing foreign tournaments as well.
Think people.

IM coach wont use them anyway for atleast till the finals.

Don't get me wrong, I think he's done a fantastic job for IM for the most part.
I just find his decisions when picking a lineup questionable.

11 days is a fair amount of time, but you have a point since there is no teams left in Korea to play(i think). Still though, with rumors of OGS going under, I'd have expected different.

11 days is not a fair amount of time when you consider the magnitude of team that they have to replace. Your point of there being no teams left in Korea is a good one. So if you focus on foreign teams, you're talking about relocating at least 5 of their players and additional funding for housing and such. I share your disappointment with oGs being a walkover but I don't think there is much we can do about it.

Ofc that is a big part of it, yet it's not the players that need to close the deal with potential sponsors.

LOL It's actually not a far off comparison; the nearest you can get that to today with just one player is SKT stealing Jaedong from Team 8. Bisu/Fantasy/Jaedong is a very strong top three.

Hopefully MC will once again make some deeper strategies, now that he has a team he can practice and test them with. I think people have figured his 2 base tiiming attacks out.

MVP, Nestea and MC? Thats just too much.
I wonder which EG players will be competing though, Idra and HuK look kinda weak atm, but JYP and Puma (maybe even Thorzain) could be great matchup snipers.

MVP/MC/Nestea is the new Rainbow/Tester/Cool

Feeling bad for fnatic. They are supposed to stop IM with help of MC? Are you kidding me?
SK should rather get their stuff together and get their own koreans, instead helping out already established teams.
Also EG and SlayerS, pretty much GG for Liquid. MMA, Puzzle,ThorZain, PuMa... oh yea...they just throw top guy after top guy on you.
Bad luck for our two foreigner hopes, even their Koreans wont save them from early elimination.
This kind of powering up by combining Teams should be forbidden.
That makes the league a lot more uninteresting and unprofessional for me.

RIP oGs, one of the most dominating team there ever was in code s

Lol, LG-IM-SK...gg
No chance for foreign teams, I am afraid, and probably no chance to everyone else aswell...

Hope IM slaps MC and make him play longer games and stop doing silly all ins that don't work.

The names of the teams are getting pretty hard to read these days:

Is the IM-SK partnership an official one like oGsTL and SlayersEG?
Or is this just a partnership for GSTL only.

How can SK.MC be able to join forces with IM-LG? ;o
Anyway, I expect IM coach not to send MVP or NesTea anyways, will probably be the regular B-team with perhaps MC as ace.

nestea, mvp and mc in one team is unfair. 8 gsl titles(maybe soon 9)... and even one for each race. Well we will see :D

MVP, Nestea, and MC have never been that great at team league.
Startale, Prime, and MvP are still the strongest followed by everyone else.

|
|
kinda makes sense seeing as MC is really good friends with Nestea and MVP (MC in Nestea's booth at IPL4, MVP shoutout to MC for helping him practice for GSL)
|
This was interesting already, now it's just ridiculous. It would almost be a crime not to get a ticket.
T-ZaIN going to own it up.
|
Taeja will all-kill them just the same. Also, QXC could be called in if things are a little hairy to discipline the heathens.
|
Holy shit. Nestea, MVP and MC on the same team. One year ago, this would've been the dream team of many. Jesus Christ. And then you got Thorzain finally playing on GSTL again...
|
Any team would kill to have one ace player that is as good as Mvp, MC or Nestea. IM has all three. ROFL
|
All three that can be beat now!! not as fearsome as it would of been a year ago!!!
Anyway nice to see Liquid and also EG probably playing!!!
|
I wish GSTL would hold All-Star team showmatches. Nestea-MVP-MC vs DRG-MMA-MKP? (Shit that is a lot of 3 letter acroynm names)
|
Dat hype I am really looking forward to gstl s2, gonna be so sick. Liquid to cheer on, eg joining forces with slayers and im just got the sickest allstar lineup.
Only sad thing is no ogs, I'm gonna miss those guys a lot.
|
Whoa. Looking forward to this GSTL for sure!!!
|
IMSK just too strong, will be nice to see how fnatic does
|
Mvp, NesTea, and MC. The original three kings of the GSL. On one team... O_O

its harder for newbie to went through
|
Lmfao, Nestea, MVP, Happy, and MC all on the same team. I think it is safe to say who will win this next season of GSTL. Can't wait for it.

I think he can still bring Fear into the Eyes of SC2 players, once hes unleashed on LAN, hes still a kind of feared player by most Koreans.

Don't get me wrong LG-IM and SK is scary pairing up but look at EG and SlayerS... ThorZain is phenomenal team league player, Idra, Puma, JYP, Boxer, Huk, CoCa, MMA, Ryung, and DeMuslim... I'm sorry but thats game right there...

Where did he say that? U make it sound like an excuse.
GSTL is a Bo1 league, so how would he have time to specifically practice for an opponent (like in Code S)

Hope the 5th Race has some surprises up his sleeve, dont wanna see complete Domination, due to $K paying IM to play with them.
Dont really like MC either.

Neither did Moon, lol. He is pretty atrocious at Bo1s though, ngl.
MVP also doesn't practice for team leagues anyways, from what I can tell, so I fail to see your point, and with the condition of his wrists, I don't see him being sent out much except as a filler player (like he was in the past). NesTea doesn't really play GSTL either. The only one of the three champs that will be very difficult is MC imo, but he's extremely snipeable in PvP. The others haven't had much success in Bo1 formats.
|
Team LG-IM-SK is incredibly stacked with all 3 of the most prominent GSL champions. Awesome!
|
LGIMSKMC, LGIMSKMvp. Nice set of alphabet we have.
Anyone know if this is GSL exclusive or will SK be sending IM players to foreign events?
|
Oh my god this is amazing (not the oGs part). I really think team leagues such as IPL TAC and EGMCS are super under-valued sources of great games and wonderful content, and both have been doing a great job growing and maturing. It warms my heart so much to see the king of team leagues also growing as opposed to just riding out the wave of it's throne. Adding teams like Liquid, EG, and Fnatic into the mix are great, as well as keeping MC in it in some form (just wouldn't feel like a true GSL event without MC). Now I just hope the oGs players can find some stability and aren't just cast to the wind.
|
Ok, I seriously can't wait to see EG owning up GSTL. Nerding out mega-hard right now.

Nestea and MVP are probably the best terran and zerg, but MC isn't the best protoss, almost every Korean know how to counter his style. Even Ganzy owned him 2-0 in code A.

DRG is best Zerg in the world, but NesTea the one that won the most money so far.
MVP best Terran atm is pretty bold as well, he has yet to beat Squirtle, the strongest Protoss at the moment.

Basically IM-SK = Top 3 Prizemoney getters.

MMA has been losing to everyone lately, and aLive isn't a fair comparison at all. He hasn't done anything in the GSL lately.
Squirtle as the strongest Protoss only happened because everyone said Parting, and then he got destroyed by MVP. Questionable assumptions? It was literally less than 2 weeks ago when everyone said Parting would run the table on his remaining matches.

I agree with you that Squirtle is probably the best Protoss at the moment, with ridiculous PvP, PvZ and PvT.
It just frustrates me. He's really good and everything, but he seems to lack flair, and he doesn't WOW me. Maybe it's just bitterness as a long-time MC fan, but while MC had the most ridiculous timings in PvT, it was actually very exciting when he did so. The Forcefields and constant aggression were fantastic to watch, and almost all of the best PvX series ever have included MC. Similarly, he has had very exciting and many "WTF" moments, which just added character to his play.
Squirtle, on the other hand, is generally pretty uninspiring. His PvP is probably the best in the world, but he doesn't play in a particularly interesting way. His PvT revolves around the shittest, dullest 2base Stalker-Colossus timing in the world (however, his lategame play is pretty sick - no more interesting than any other top Protoss, though) and his PvZ, while really good, is not stupendous.
Basically, he's solid but lacks the key flair and style of the Big 3 from last year. I know that the title of Best Protoss is given for skill rather than style points, but if Squirtle continues to do well I can easily see myself losing interest. Aside from 1 great game against MVP about a year ago in GSTL, why should I be interested in him? (Genuine question, not rhetorical)
edit: perhaps more suitable as a blog post.

If MVP fails to win GSL, hes not best Terran in my book
Both MMA and aLive won Major titles the last 3 months, and MKP won MLG.

while i'm excited about the eg slayers partnership AND MC on the same team as MVP and Nestea.
it sucks that the walkover had to happen and not a quick squeeze of another team could've made it in. that means group b chances of advancement are way easier than group As.

Squirtle as the strongest Protoss only happened because everyone said Parting, and then he got destroyed by MVP. Questionable assumptions? It was literally less than 2 weeks ago when everyone said Parting would run the table on his remaining matches. MMA just won Iron Squid. PartinG was said to have the best PvT, but I ve already said Squirtle is the best Overall Balanced Protoss, with no real weakness. aLive IPL4 title still is as big as a Code S title, so he can be compared with anyone. I agree with you that Squirtle is probably the best Protoss at the moment, with ridiculous PvP, PvZ and PvT. It just frustrates me. He's really good and everything, but he seems to lack flair, and he doesn't WOW me. Maybe it's just bitterness as a long-time MC fan, but while MC had the most ridiculous timings in PvT, it was actually very exciting when he did so. The Forcefields and constant aggression were fantastic to watch, and almost all of the best PvX series ever have included MC. Similarly, he has had very exciting and many "WTF" moments, which just added character to his play. Squirtle, on the other hand, is generally pretty uninspiring. His PvP is probably the best in the world, but he doesn't play in a particularly interesting way. His PvT revolves around the shittest, dullest 2base Stalker-Colossus timing in the world (however, his lategame play is pretty sick - no more interesting than any other top Protoss, though) and his PvZ, while really good, is not stupendous. Basically, he's solid but lacks the key flair and style of the Big 3 from last year. I know that the title of Best Protoss is given for skill rather than style points, but if Squirtle continues to do well I can easily see myself losing interest. Aside from 1 great game against MVP about a year ago in GSTL, why should I be interested in him? (Genuine question, not rhetorical) edit: perhaps more suitable as a blog post.
Woah, well done. You've managed to capture my excact thoughts in one post.

while i'm excited about the eg slayers partnership AND MC on the same team as MVP and Nestea.
it sucks that the walkover had to happen and not a quick squeeze of another team could've made it in. that means group b chances of advancement are way easier than group As.
not really,
fnatic and TSL have to face off twice now, not sure if thats easier than playing oGs (probably slightly easier opponent than TSL)
Its easier for IM-SK tho, only one win and they are through. Sucks imo.

And yet...mma and mkp can't even make it past code A whereas a CTS inflicted king is running through everyone.

I like to place each player I follow into one of two sets: I follow because he's good vs I follow because I like him(interviews, personalities, etc). Example:
I'm a Zerg player. Even though I didn't like Stephano as a personality, I had to respect his dominating play so whenever he was in a finals or something, I watched if I could. Likewise, ViBE isn't placing top 4 in every tournament but I like tuning into his stream because of his interaction with the chat.
When a player is on top, more people study him--his style gets figured out. When I follow a player because he's good, I like to see how that player develops and if he can continue his streak of dominance; how long will it take for others to force him out of his 2 base Colossus style in PvT and what's his response going to be? Even if he's winning with boring strategies now, he's at least smart enough to think of the strategies, so what, if anything will he do next? etc. I guess the general theme is following development of strategies.

"LG-IM-SK" haha the team name is getting quite ridiculous isn't it xD
Imagine IM keeps getting new sponsors, the name is only going to get longer
|
Wait... so the three most successful Starcraft 2 players by far are now on one team?
GomTV should cite some obscure clause that forces IM to split into two teams in order to compete.

Don't get me wrong it's really great to see these 3 in the same team, but realistically:
-Nestea: hasn't done well in a long time, DRG and Leenock have become far better than him.
-MC: has done very well in non-korean events but hasn't really been able to do much in the GSL for more than a year now; Squirtle, Parting, Genius, Hero, are all equally as good or even better than him.
MVP: has had a very tough time and hasn't been doing well for about 6 months up untill this season; he's still regarded as one of the best Terran but he's not nearly as dominating as he used to be (which is to be expected as the game progresses, and because he suffers from wrist problems).
So yeah, these are still 3 amazing players, but nothing that most teams can't take down
|
Well, I'm sad (as is everyone else) that oGs is disbanding, but I'm kind of happy MC didn't partner up with another team until now, as it could have been a bit awkward. Also pretty sweet to see the big three all on the same team, even if they aren't as dominant as they once were.

Players like DRG or MKP alone could probably take all of them down by themselves I think.

Sad they didn't replace oGs. Just find someone, anyone to take their spot. Complexity has enough in Korea to compete. Hell, add DreamTeam just so we can see some more games. It's not like they could be worse than FXO

looks like it will be an amazing season as always, though oGs will be missed

I'm ready to watch the team of kings fall. Always fun to root for the underdogs. Although it is a pretty awesome team...

Perhaps to make things fair, IM should receive a 10% reduction to all stats.

WHAT THE FUCK LOL
MVP NESTEA MC (fuck i capitalized Nestea just cause the other two were..) on one team? well idk if their team bus can make it there on time if they bring all their gsl trophies

i wonder if Sk and LG-IM will do a real partnership in the near future.. would be epic

Dam the triangle of terror formed in LG-IM

MC for Protoss/Nestea for Zerg/MvP for Terran...?
...TRIPLE FINISH!
It's super effective!

The Three Kings on one team? This could be freakin' amazing

The holy trinity of 2011. I say 2011 since the 3 of them aren't as dominant as they were last year, and 2012 isn't over yet. Still a godly lineup.
|
If this happened last may they could have just handed Im the trophy
|
im confused the season hasnt started yet why is there already a thread with them telling us who won?>

Seeing who the IM coach sends out in the past I doubt MC will get to play

GSL champs for each race all on one team o.o I'm not sure if I can handle such greatness

Wait wait wait...
DRG vs MC: 10-7 for DRG
DRG vs Nestea: 2-1 for DRG
DRG vs MVP: 4-3 for DRG
(10/17) x (2/3) x (4/7) = 0.224089636
That's not "probable."
MKP vs MC: 10-9 for MKP
MKP vs Nestea: 5-3 for Nestea
MKP vs MVP (LOL): 16-4 for MVP
(10/19) x (3/8) x (4/20) = 0.0394736842
DRG has a 22% chance of beat the 3, and MKP has a 4% chance of taking them down.
That's not too good of odds.

8? 3 (MVP) + 3 (Nestea) + 2 (MC)? They have 8 of the I believe 13 GSLs (Jjakji/FD/DRG/MMA/Polt have the others), or 61% of the GSL trophys. Not to mention Losira's 2nd place as well as MVPs 2nd

Nestea, MC, and MVP  ROOL*
I still have to root for Fxo and Fnatic

haha MC playing for IM? zerg protoss terran champions of GSL, yes please. but they have all been slacking lately. MVP has been playing better as of late, but he's still not 100% IMO. we shall see if this works out, but i think it will.
|
Strongest lineup is Startale, still.
Squirtle, PartinG, Curious, Bomer, July, Virus.
While LG-IM.SK's roster has MC, Nestea and Mvp, the first is not that good currently, the second doesn't care about team leagues and the third one has to save his wrists for GSL.
I'll be rooting for MVP and BoxeR (not SlayerS, just BoxeR. And maybe Crank).

NesTea/MVP/MC on the same team?
the Mayans saw this coming!

SK-IM-LG.MC

Obviously, oGs dissolution is sad news, but at least MC is back in GSTL and we have foreign teams (I think at least one will do very well)

Ok, I'll do all the math again...
Alive vs MC: 3-2 for Alive
Alive vs Nestea: 8-5 for Nestea
Alive vs MVP: 0-1 for MVP
(3/5) x (5/13) x (0/1) = 0 LOL
Not really sure how to factor his 0% win rate vs MVP in...
Well lets just say he has a 23% chance to beat the first two and then face MVP who has 67.35% win-rate vs terran while he only has 56%. Don't know those probabilities either. Maybe go out of 200, with ((100-67)+56)/200 which comes out to 89/200 or 0.445.
factor that into alive's chances vs the first 2 and he has 10.23500% chance of taking out the big 3.
|
Sad that oGs isn't around anymore but im pumped to see MC playing with the LGIM guys as well as EG guys playing with Slayers!
|
I don't think people are considering the best part of IM's situation. They have the three most prestigious player's at their disposal. That should really help foster future talent and champions. It also doesn't hurt that MC is probably the most popular Korean.
|
What's all the dumbass talk about 'best player in the world' or 'best of each race'?
Seriously, just look at the hype of players during the past 3-6 months; look how many players were hyped to be the 'best in the world', and they've just failed spectacularly.
MMA/MKP as Terran are good, but they have alarming weaknesses in the form of TvP/TvT respectively.
Same goes for people hyping the crap out of PartinG and calling him the best Protoss in the world, then as soon as he loses everyone calls Squirtle the best Protoss in the world... (WAT DA FUQ)
'Best player in the world' is way too overused, and I'd probably give best of each race to the most earned players of each race, since that really is what their career is about at the end of the day.
|
Is MC going to live in their house? Seems kind of dumb if he's just off on his own but then meets up with them once a month to play some matches.
|
If this means MC can practice in IM house, then Nestea will have a good practice partner in his ZvP, MC will have a good practice partner in his PvT, and MVP will benefit from MC as well.
If the big 3 can get back to their primes, then I'm sure all the hype with Parting, MKP, DRG, and Squirtle will diminish. Bash them all you want, the fact that these three have 8 (potential 9) GSL titles in total is because they are genuinely good. Of course they may be behind the meta game now but or in a bit of a slump, but we said that about MC and he won IEM WC, we said that about Nestea and he went far in IPL4 and Iron Squid, we said that about MVP and now he is on the GSL finals again.
|
9 GSL champions among them..sick!

It's a more likeable Starcraft version of the Miami Heat.

kind of dissapointing that EG has to partner with slayers. Sounds like were gonna see mostly slayers players with a sprinkle of idra or huk here and there if they get a lead. I rather see a whole foreigner team compete by themselves. couple that and the lack of tastosis... Looks like this will be the third gstl that i dont buy in a row.

I have a feeling the Slayers coaches would rather field some of their inexperienced guys rather than field a foreigner. Just to get their own guys' feet wet in the big stage.

Wait wait wait... DRG vs MC: 10-7 for DRG DRG vs Nestea: 2-1 for DRG DRG vs MVP: 4-3 for DRG (10/17) x (2/3) x (4/7) = 0.224089636 That's not "probable." MKP vs MC: 10-9 for MKP MKP vs Nestea: 5-3 for Nestea MKP vs MVP (LOL): 16-4 for MVP (10/19) x (3/8) x (4/20) = 0.0394736842 DRG has a 22% chance of beat the 3, and MKP has a 4% chance of taking them down. That's not too good of odds. Lets just agree that aLive will take out all 3 Ok, I'll do all the math again... Alive vs MC: 3-2 for Alive Alive vs Nestea: 8-5 for Nestea Alive vs MVP: 0-1 for MVP (3/5) x (5/13) x (0/1) = 0 LOL Not really sure how to factor his 0% win rate vs MVP in... Well lets just say he has a 23% chance to beat the first two and then face MVP who has 67.35% win-rate vs terran while he only has 56%. Don't know those probabilities either. Maybe go out of 200, with ((100-67)+56)/200 which comes out to 89/200 or 0.445. factor that into alive's chances vs the first 2 and he has 10.23500% chance of taking out the big 3.
Well aLive is over 60% in TvT in 2012.
I would be dying to see another aLive vs MVP series, I wanna see the two best Mech users in the world to clash against each other for the Mech crown.

Looks like MMA has his work cut out for him.

Nestea..... MVP......MC.....
SHIT JUST GOT REAL!!!!!!
|
I just saw someone say MC is in a slump....tht MC dude has been consistently performing well in GSL as well as foreign tournaments, he is in the top 8 everytime. and trust me, MVP, MC and Nestea under one roof..like some1 said.. Shit just got real!!! Imagine a team having 3aces up their sleeve!! OMFG!!! Excited, prem pass for GSTL here i come!
|
It's like MC said (at an MLG maybe?), he's only friends with champions.
|
i think LG-IM.SK team might be imba. too many GSL Champion titles in that team
|
The three titans united as one, I can see IM going very far this GSTL :D
|
pages 1-15 are all people talking about how MC Nestea and MVP are all on the same team lol

Code S is the qualifier for MC's friendship - MR Chae.

Thorzain on the Slayers team then))!?
|
Nestea, MVP and MC.
Just look at that. I am looking forward to this season of GSTL. I didn't really follow it regularly last season.
|
still think all the foreigner teams should have partnered up to form like TL-EG-Mouz-Fnatic-coL
|
Team league is still a different beast. Even when all three were at the tip top of their game, they showed lackluster results while in the GSTL, from what I recall.
|
EG + Slayers?? Epic combo
|
Now I need to get an OGS shirt so I can be a hipster nerd.

MC did quite well in my memory, beating 3 slayers players before falling to the rising MMA.

They can bring in just about anyone into the team league, it seems.

MC MVP Nestea WHO THE FUCK AUTHORIZED THIS?

If this means MC can practice in IM house, then Nestea will have a good practice partner in his ZvP, MC will have a good practice partner in his PvT, and MVP will benefit from MC as well.
If the big 3 can get back to their primes, then I'm sure all the hype with Parting, MKP, DRG, and Squirtle will diminish. Bash them all you want, the fact that these three have 8 (potential 9) GSL titles in total is because they are genuinely good. Of course they may be behind the meta game now but or in a bit of a slump, but we said that about MC and he won IEM WC, we said that about Nestea and he went far in IPL4 and Iron Squid, we said that about MVP and now he is on the GSL finals again.
NesTea, MVP, and MC all 3 live in their own houses with their girlfriends, and are already stated to practice together.
|
I always love when people say that Nestea is in a slump.
I guess 3rd place in the IPL
3rd place in Iron Squid
1st place at the MLG Korea qualifier
is what is considered a slump for him. He only did badly on the GSL but that was just this season because last season he got a respectable RO16 placement
|
MVP, Nestea and MC in one team is like Real Madrid before some years *.*
but i guess they wont win GSTL anyways

Tons of world class players and no team results? Sounds about right.
I bet the team will still mostly rely on the rank-and-file IM troopers (Happy etc) for most of their matches.

Lol^^
LG IM + SK and StarTale in the finals^^
|
teams gonna a need a miracle to beat IM!!!!
|
Nestea and Mc might be slumping but they still scrored high in tounaments and won a lot of money this year. Always dangerous and can sweep if they are hot. That's three players that can sweep. Very dangerous. If one is off you get the next one and so on. They won't lose.

Not really, they didn't acquire their players through trades, but rather, just have some the most amazing players to have played SC2 at this point.

Now MarineKing, MMA, DongRaeGu and Leenock join LG-IM/SK and we have a perfect team.

Squirtle, Bomber, Curious, PartinG, NaniWa & SaSe kinda sound like miracle to me! StarTale got such a strong team, perhaps a bit protosso heavy but really really strong
|
brb. gonna go buy my pass now. love gstl
|
I like foreign teams partnering with Korean teams for practice and learning but partnering in team leagues is bad imo. Stand on your own in competition or don't bother entering. Just dilutes and cheapens the competition, more like just show matches than a professional league.

St protoss reminds me of Slayers terrans..
slayers terrans weak to P while st toss weak to zergs. lol just funny imo

Losira is actually a badass, just wait for him in the teamleagues
|
Soon it will be SK Nestea and SK MVP and IM disbands.

What.

Holy! Thats 9 GSL Championships on IM!!! But then again IM tends to not go very far in the team league, except for the first season. Though I'm still rooting for Prime. ^^

He's referring to SK getting a partnership with oGs then 'stealing'+ Show Spoiler + their ace. Now oGs are disbanding and the best player leaving might have had something to do with that..

It wouldn't surprise me if IM is one the best funded teams in the world now with LG partnership. That an Nestea has stated that he has turned down very lucrative foreign offers.
|
No the GSTL holy trinity is
DRG - Squirtle - MMA
DRG is like 20 wins 4 loses
Squirtle 18 wins 9 loses
MMA is 10 and 4 ? (not sure somebody look it up)
But all 3 have like greater than 1 positive win ratio (DRG is liek 3 or 4 insane)
Imagine having that team lol
|
I like the team name LGIMSK. I feel like we should annogram the letters to create the ultimate team name. And yet using an anogram solver, those are 6 letters that don't make a word? Maybe someone more clever than I can make it into a word.
Also MC/MVP/Nestea, not to mention the team has a nice chunk of other solid players. LGIMSK is ownage.
