I love IM but I don't see them winning a teamleague. They have always favored the individual league over the teamleague and send out rookies a lot for that reason, and when their top players get off they bench they seem unprepared and lose or get sniped the next match.

Maybe it will be different this time around.

Finally! Nice post

IM should definitely have this. SHOULD, definitely have this...

Somehow they just keep coming up short -_-

MVP is doing well again, and they even have MC this time, not to mention their lesser players are doing good lately as well. Happy, Losira, Seed, Yonghwa, Yoda, all decent enough to get them far.

Nestea ofc will continue to disappoint me and almost never play. Considering IM's brutal lineup this time, the likelihood that MC or MVP close things out, and how Nestea only comes in at the end...well they should just buy Nestea a hammock and sit it next to the bench xD

yonghwa and yoda are good but not great enough to take more than one game, losira and happy are good enough but they can be easily sniped. That also means same goes for MVP, Nestea, and MC.

To be honest, as much of a vicious Mvp fanboy I am, i just struggle to see IM winning this. The "Big 3" just don't really shine in team leagues. Nestea doesn't like them nor performs well during them and Mvp has damaged wrists which can't be in a good way after going the full stretch in the GSL (Champion Baby!) In saying that, they definitely look like the most capable team, i really hope they pull it out!

The big 3 are going to be rarely seen or needed in my opinion. Losira, Happy, Seed, Yonghwa , and Yoda can handle almost anything and anyone. Heck when you're regularly using a zerg to snipe MKP ( idk he and Losira have like a weird back and forth history) anything is possible. MC strikes me as a sniper or the player used in an emergency to stop someone's crazy momentum. True, First and Dreamertt can also hold their own against big names so it's not as though the team lacks depth.

I can see MVP coming out to stop say Polt ( as tsl is in their group) since he has a good record against him and just seems to " get" how to beat him. Other than players he's notoriously good against I expect MVP will spend most of the season benched.

Much as I love him I predict Nestea will spend most of the season napping, but I couldn't exactly say that in the write up ^-^

Everyone is also forgetting that IM got a walk over vs oGs and thus already have a good score. Group stage wise TSL is their biggest issue given that Yoda all killed fnatic in ksl not too long ago. Between overall team strength and a good group draw IM has a good chance of at least making it to round 2.

Ugh, I second to this, Look at KSL they didn't even send out Mvp or NesTea. Or maybe they are saving them for the GSTL

I don't see IM losing this GSTL or any in the near future. It's gonna be a good year for IM.

with MVP's wrists, he really shouldn't be sent out.

Mvp and Nestea usually do poorly in team leagues ( in the rare ocasions they play) but i believe IM can win without them, the addition of MC sure will help;

These guys will work harder to win the GSTL now that they have a huge sponsor backing them. I believe they have what it takes to win the gstl!

It's a play on both IM's name and the fact that despite all their talent they keep bombing out of team leagues but that surely this time with MC's help they could win.

... I thought it was an obvious joke
