Well no foreigner would beat any of them in Korea but this is in Vegas so anything can happen. I would still put Koreans on stupid odds of winning comfertably in Bo3s, but i think it will be Bo1? My order of play would be DRG > Seed > MC > MVP > Life | ||

For the sake of competitiveness I'd like to have LucifroN and either VortiX or Nerchio, that'd make a well rounded team. | ||

Naniwa, Stephano, Lucifron, Nerchio and Scarlett (the only other 2 possibilities are probably Vortix and Sen). I think that team is pretty good and should be able to give the Koreans a battle at least. They will most likely lose but there should be some seriously awesome games in this series. | ||

Thorzain will have to beat VortiX and then Nerchio or TLO and Major will have to fight through Scarlett and Sen among others. | ||

You could argue that other (Z or P) players are technically stronger than Lucifron, but having a Terran is important. | ||

Might wanna watch that ye. But what is your proposal for Life ? I think zvz is the best chance to beat him. Maybe Nani with some really clever all in. But you might wanna watch Nerchios wins vs Symbol or Hyun in online cups. Sure everybody will be the underdog vs Life, but I think trying a zvz might be a good idea. That leads me to my next question. Does the world team have a coach ? Sb that prepares them and make the calls ? I figure it is gstl format ? | ||

He got worked over by Leenock. Timings always look great when you win. YoDa looked like a Terran bonjwa when he beat HyuN in Ro32. I am not saying Bogus did not look good. I am just saying you can't put him as top 5 after a few games. It would be like put Creator ahead of Rain because we saw great timings from Creator to kill DRG while Rain's last PvZ were losses to Leenock. You will notice that all timings are 'sick' or 'perfect' because otherwise they fail and the player usually loses. You will rarely see a player hitting a 'decent' or 'average' timing. | ||

I know I like FXO, and I'm not saying that both of those players deserve to be in there, but at least ONE of them. I mean, they put in MC for god's sake - The once famous obamatoss who has won nothing important recently. Whatever. I honestly hope Korea loses this time (yeah, for the first time ever).

Stephano, Nerchio, Scarlett, VortiX...well 4 zergs and NaNi It would be racist to not include terran though, and LucifroN is easily in the class of the 5 listed above.

I know I like FXO, and I'm not saying that both of those players deserve to be in there, but at least ONE of them. I mean, they put in MC for god's sake - The once famous obamatoss who has won nothing important recently. Whatever. I honestly hope Korea loses this time (yeah, for the first time ever). Ahh hah. Still though. They should have done something different IMO. This is the fairest system possible. Not based of who is currently hip but more who actually has played the best in the last year. | ||

Seriously, no matter how it was determined, this Korean team is imba, and in need of a nerf. The foreign team will really have to work for it to get this, unless one of them goes on some crazy all kill streak in the second round and takes the ace too. Unfortunately, the best man for that kind of work (Taeja) is on the GSL side. | ||

With Seed and Mvp already guaranteed IPL5 participation, I wonder which IM member will be sent based on TAC3. I had a feeling it would be Seed or YongHwa earlier, but YongHwa is at WCG, and now Seed has a seed, so makes me wonder. NesTea or Losira perhaps? First is also a candidate. | ||

I feel like Leenock is better than DRG currently, and that Rain, PartinG, or Creator would be better picks than MC and Seed in their current states Well it is based on GSL points, so we can't really argue with that. Although some of these players are recently "struggeling" they should still easily smash any non-korean opposition. | ||

In some ways, picking the best Koreans is tough but GSL ranking seems like a pretty solid way of doing it without being too biased. As luck would have it, Seed/DRG/Life are all pretty much team league beasts, while Mvp and MC will be excellent snipers.

I had a feeling it would be Seed or YongHwa earlier, but YongHwa is at WCG, and now Seed has a seed, so makes me wonder. NesTea or Losira perhaps? First is also a candidate. oh yeah forgot Yonghwa is in WCG. So he's out. Nestea should be sent fo sho then. In terms of merit Losira and First aren't much more deserving though they've done better in foreign tournaments recently, Nestea has had the better year and did well in IPL4 in particular. The gap is in his star power, which would be better for IM overall most likely, considering they'd be sending all three of their champs. | ||

It was so laughable when Lebron claimed they were better than the dream team last year. | ||

The team should have been: Parting, Symbol, YongHwa, Life and I guess Squirtle or Bomber are pretty good at team leagues. | ||

(for those who keep saying they should invite this and that w/o looking at LIQUIDPEDIA) Genius, Sea, Bomber is also coming in via IPLTAC3 Notable names missing imo: God, Kespa players, PartinG, Leenock. | ||

Is such a sick team: Mvp,the greatest Starcraft 2 wings of liberty player of all time. DRG, former greatest zerg, some of the best mechanics in the world, along with the some of the best muta-ling play. Seed, he takes your soul once he beats you, what else is there to say? MC, the master of allin's and force-fields. Life, the current greatest zerg, & master of everything zerg. Team USA may be in trouble. | ||

Stephano – GSL World Championship Invite NaNiWa – GSL World Championship Invite Mvp - GSL World Championship Korea Life - GSL World Championship Korea Seed - GSL World Championship Korea MC - GSL World Championship Korea DongRaeGu - GSL World Championship Korea TBD - GSL World Championship EU TBD - GSL World Championship EU TBD - GSL World Championship EU TBD - GSL World Championship NA / World TBD - GSL World Championship NA / World I don't get it. That makes 5 people on the Korea team and 7 people on the world team. Which is it, 5v5 or 7v7? | ||

Agreed. That sounds about right if it is all-kill format. At least they don't have Leenock, Creator, or Parting | ||
