I think they are the 2011 season end awards. MVP = top terran, top player, Nestea = top zerg, IM coach = top coach, IM team = top team(not sure about this one)? Ah that makes sense, thanks. For all the shit the IM coach gets he did bring up a team of champions, four of his players have been in the finals of GSL. The only other team that had comparable results in that way is oGs ( RIP ) with Top, Inca, MC all being finalists. On July 20 2012 01:41 NeMeSiS3 wrote:

But IM is probably only team where you can take away their 3 top players (MVP, Nestea, Seed) and still have a lineup which you still feel confident about. Other teams have depth as well (Startale) but you always feel they need their aces to bail them out if they get into trouble. But a line up of Yoda, LosirA, Happy, First, Yonghwa, True feels it can stand on its own. Of course, the players make a huge difference but we have to give some credit to the coach as well.
You're absolutely right, IM's non-star players are extremely good. In fact Losira and First took out Startale by themselves in IPL TAC this week.
The flak the coach gets is really only about his questionable player choices in GSTL, he's great at everything else.
I remember when the first IPL TAC preview article came out on TL a few months back and the writers mentioned IM's " weak support cast " I don't agree with that at all and I hope people can see it now. So many of their players can get multi kills on a good day.

As a progamer, I feel for the KeSPA players. A hybrid league is just a ludicrous concept and adding OSL to their plate is impossible.
MC gets it. Too bad KeSPA's too stupid to see this.

Such a small table for all this awesomeness, they need to go to Ikea buy the hugest table, it will be necessary in the next months / years 
|
I am feeling great. It's a shame that I had to beat someone I'm close to in Byun but he's such a great player that once Terran is buffed in the future, he can try again for the championship.
Always good to acknowledge the elephant in the room.
I still can't decide who I want to win...

Well, I didn't watch the series vs Fnatic. But vs TSL, not sure if ANYONE could have stopped Symbol on that day. With the all-kill format, it is really tough. LosirA could have beaten Symbol and then who knows what would have happened.

Or is that only in GSTL? Because that would be 9, about to be 10 GSL trophies... MC lives with his girlfriend I think, but he might go to the IM house to practice sometimes. Also, I really want to see a picture of IM's trophy case. Anyone know where I could find that? Just goto the IM facebook page, they have all sorts of pictures posted, including a table completely covered with trophies. https://www.facebook.com/IMteam Thank you so much Just in case people wanna see the table being talked about... ![[image loading]](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/381287_210820179000807_39361357_n.jpg) That is a tiny table. Or too many trophies o_o
Obviously, the most successful team, LG-IM doesn't have a big a** house like EG and complexity do.
|
Damn, LG-IM has better sponsors than the GSL itself.
|
Anyone know what MC was saying about Stephano in the first interview right after his win over DRG?

Everyone knows its bad but it's not like they had lots of other amazing options.

I think the decision was for the fans, not the players. They want to get BW fans into SC2 by forcing them to watch SC2 with their BW so they can Starcraft while they Starcraft.

They only way fans would be "forced" (barely) to watch SC2 is if BW was the 2nd set (Bo3 SC2 > Bo3 BW > Bo1 SC2). Anyways, I hope Seed wins.

I have this feeling after MC's contract with SK is finished, he might be joining LGIM... Seeing as LG pays salary to the top players and will be going full time sponsor in 2 more months (judging by how well LGIM is doing since they were sponsored), don't see why MC wouldn't join them. They are all good friends anyways.

Wow, great read, really interesting what MC had to say

That be awesome. If they also picked up MMA (IMMMA sounds just too great), they'd be like a SC2 allstar team!
Looking forward to Seed vs MC

MC is da Boss.... Protoss for GSL Winner finally!
|
Lol Seed thinks terran will be buffed in the future 
Hoping for MC to win the finals!
|
MC is the boss. I thought he would never reach finals, and I was lacking faith in him lately, but wow... I should trust him more. ^^
|

|
