Prime. One of the (if not the) most feared teams out there. Scoring high in most tournaments, Prime's results have been stellar lately.

[image loading] 2012 GSTL Season 1 [image loading] Prime 5 – 2 [image loading] StarTaleQ

[image loading] IPL TAC 2 [image loading] Prime 8 – 7 [image loading] NSHoseo

[image loading] 2012 KSL Team League January [image loading] Prime 6 – 3 [image loading] NSHoseo

[image loading] 2011 GSTL Season 1 [image loading] Prime 3 – 5 [image loading] MVP

[image loading] IPL TAC 2 Qual. [image loading] Prime 3 – 5 [image loading] NSHoseo


And these are only their team league results.

In the next couple of minutes I will try to show you why Prime will win the second season of the GSTL this year.



&#91;image loading&#93;

&#91;image loading&#93;

(By TIG)


As a coach, it is your task to choose the right player for the job. If you make the right choice, you get an all-kill. Make the wrong choice… Well, that shouldn’t happen. It’s essential for a coach to know who your team is up against: What players? What are their strong points? Their key players? Who are their snipers? Luckily Prime has Gerrard. Prime’s coach is a display of charisma, always keeps his cool, always having the right strategy in the back of his head, knowing who to use next. As a player-coach, he stills competes in the Code A Preliminaries, which keeps him up-to-date with the current metagame. This all and he still looks handsome!

[image loading]

Makin’ the right choices, while still lookin’ great (By Kevin Chang)


&#91;image loading&#93;

[image loading] &#91;image loading&#93;

[image loading]


Some of you may not know this, but Annyung is Prime’s proud captain. As a captain, you need to keep the peace within the team, while holding up the morale of all your players. Annyung is perfect for this job. Why you ask? This is why. Also look at him, he emits calmness. His individual results might not be the best, but he’s a veteran in team leagues with his regular deployments in the KSL and IPL TAC.

[image loading] &#91;image loading&#93;

[image loading]


Oh, BBoongBBoong. Who doesn’t remember the time you put black tape on your nipples while all-killing F. United in GSTL Season 1. Oh, and he was also eating pizza in between those games. Yes, that’s B4’s confidence. Being Prime’s #1 Zerg, he’s one of the players Prime puts a lot of faith in.
Getting solid results in both individual leagues and team leagues, BBoongBBoong is a force to be reckoned with.
Oh and by the way: In his first GSTL, in May 2011, he was the player with the most wins in Prime. Not bad for a first time, eh! This happened again during GSTL Season 1.

[image loading]

Nipple tape and pizza, that’s all a guy needs.


[image loading] [image loading]

[image loading]


Most of you will remember Bumblebee as the guy that got eliminated by Scarlett at IPL4. If I hear "Bumblebee", I remember the zerg that crushed Huk in Code A, the guy who's a regular in Code A. Bumblebee starts with a "B". You know what else starts with a "B"? Bonjwa.

[image loading] &#91;image loading&#93;


I’m sure most people have heard from Aria already, making name in a replay versus Huk. Day9 describes him as “A player with a very aggressive style and extremely crisp mechanics. His reaction time is absurd and his general use of compositions is somewhat unusual.” And this was more than 6 months ago. After the unfortunate disband of oGs, he joined Prime and will hopefully make an appearance in the GSTL.

[image loading] &#91;image loading&#93;

[image loading]


Not much is known about Salmosa. He regularly makes an appearance in the EWM, but never gets really far. He doesn’t even have a Liquipedia page . What I know about him: He will be Prime’s next breakout player. Following in the footsteps of both MMA and DongReaGu, he’ll be a regular in Code S soon, and will be one of Prime’s key players alongside Maru, Creator and Byun. Keep an eye on this guy!


&#91;image loading&#93;

[image loading] &#91;image loading&#93;

[image loading]


MarinekingPrime. As three time GSL finalist, two time MLG champion and all the rest, Marineking is without a doubt Prime’s best player and ace. He started off poorly in team leagues, getting only one kill in the first three GSTLs. But he then turns it around in the first GSTL of 2012, where he gets the most wins (10) with an all-kill of NSHoseo. This is the time Marineking starts dominating the SC2 scene, taking 2 MLGs, winning from the most feared zerg in the world, twice. Now, as one of the best TvP’ers in the world, he is ready for next seasons GSTL, and he is hungry for blood.

&#91;image loading&#93;

This was so 2010 - 2011.


[image loading] &#91;image loading&#93;

[image loading]


The king of ghosts he likes to call himself, but I’ll just call him Byun. After being punished for “match fixing”, the Puppy Terran got back into Code S with ease, beating players like Nada and JYP. If I had to describe Byun with one word, it would be “Solidness”. Getting from the Code A prelims to Code S in one season is quite the achievement. Whenever Byun gets thrown in in a Team League, he makes the difference. And he will make a difference this season.

[image loading]

GhostkingPrime, making the difference.


[image loading] &#91;image loading&#93;

[image loading]


Prime’s young boy wonder has been on a rampage recently getting into the Ro16 of Code S defeating Gumiho, Hero and MC and making some heads roll in various team leagues, like in the KSL Season 1 Team League, where he all-killed StarTale. He then fell down to Code A, but he’s back now and better than ever. There is a reason his nickname is the Prime Prodigy, taking down notable players with his aggressive, relentless style and he doesn’t even care a little bit about it.

[image loading]

I’m coming for you! (By zEWdio)


&#91;image loading&#93;

CreatorPrime, 15 years old, and already so good. As the favorite player of the OP, Creator will get next season’s most kills. Mark. My. Words. Getting into Code S in Season 3, after being in Code A for so long, he is better than ever and ready to take all your ladder points. As Prime’s only Protoss player this season (Classic going to the army), there’s a lot of pressure on him. But don’t worry about him, as he has top three PvT in the world, he will be fine. His double forge play has quite the reputation. Every time Creator gets played in a team league, he does well.

[image loading]

Remember this?


[image loading] &#91;image loading&#93;

[image loading]


Unfortunately, Classic left the training house to complete his army service. But because he’s still part of the team, I’ll put him on here too. Classic is another player who gets thrown in a lot in team leagues, and takes games of players regularly. His individual results aren’t that bad either. Getting pretty high in the ESV Korean Weekly and having won 10 Playhem Dailies.

Looks good I guess, not very informative though, more like a Prime advertisement. Well, maybe thats just me.

The real reason why Prime is feared is because they sacrifice virgins to the all powerful lag monster.

This was 2010
For the record, MKP did poorly at the first couple of GSTL's. But before that, he was scary. There were other leagues before GSTL where he would reverse all kill. Can't remember the team it was against though.

Also, I didn't know Aria joined Prime, awesome!

This season, I do believe Prime is a strong contender indeed!

Prime is an awesome team, but I wish Startale would win this season (and my gut feeling is that IM will take it).

Well their zergs aren't really that good though MKP can pretty much all kill week in and week out though I don't really think they'll be winning this one and it kinda helps your team league results when you face NSH as often in finals as they do lol

MKP and Maru are both really good players in my opinion. They alone can carry Prime far.

I was working on one but if I post it now it will seem like I'm hopping on the bandwagon. Anyways this thread is awesome and I do wish Prime good luck, they have a solid team and good chance of being repeat champions.

I refer you to the less than 2 days old up/down matches where B4 looked like he was not only code S but someone who could make it to ro16. It really was a shame someone out of those 3 had to lose but he looked amazing in doing so.

I think Byun (GhostKing) will make a huge impact here.
