Can't they let Squirtle play in IPL5 as a representative, but replace him in the actual show match with MKP, Polt, or Taeja who will be there? The World team might not even have a Terran if Lucifron doesn't qualify. | ||

Congrats to Squirtle for making the GSL WC team and going to IPL On November 20 2012 13:44 Fionn wrote: Great, now there is no Terran on the Korean team.

IGN broadcasted it about an hour or two ago On November 20 2012 13:45 JJH777 wrote: Dang no Terrans on the korean team now and I think only Lucifron on the foreign team. This also dramatically decreases the chances of a Terran winning IPL5. Taeja hasn't been performing up to his normal standard and him and MVP are like the only terrans that have won/done well in anything major since the queen patch. Yeah, it's going to be really hard especially with Leenock announced as a replacement earlier today pretty much completing the zerg dream team in the IPL 5 bracket | ||

 He'll probably go for a Nestea Award then take a break, I hope. I really frickin hope he takes a break. He should know all his fans are more concerned about his health and wellbeing than getting to see him play and win. All his fans just want him to get better | ||

It will be good for Mvp to take this time to rest his wrists and hopefully he can try and get something done about it. We will always still love you Mvp <3!

IGN broadcasted it about an hour or two ago Korea still needs a Terran on the roster. Especially since it's a show match, both teams should at least have one player from every single race to have the most fun. We don't want to see just a bunch of PvP, ZvZ, ZvP and then the one game Lucifron plays. | ||

Especially if they can pick a terran that will do some crazy shit and make it fun like the ones you mentioned. The thing I remember the most from the first GSL WC team match was San vs SEn carriers on metal On November 20 2012 13:50 lichter wrote: While this is true (and I wish they'd pick a Terran too), it would be cruel for them to overlook Squirtle just because he is protoss Yeah, that's also a problem. You can't say you're going to pick the team one way and then make a change because you don't like the result. Next thing you know Seed will be kicked off the team for being Code B | ||

I like to think that Mvp was feeling sorry for Squirtle for putting him into the kong line, so he forfeited to give him a spot in the tournament and some air time in the show match. Good guy Mvp always looking out for his fellow pro gamers. | ||

I really wanted to see him play some more, but I know that this is the correct decision for him and his wrists. It's unfortunate, but it just means that Mvp will have more time to rest and more time to crush through Code A.With the state of his wrists causing him to drop out of tournaments, it's a wonder that he managed to reach the finals last season, going 3-4 against perhaps the strongest ZvT player in the world at that time. | ||

Good guy Mvp always looking out for his fellow pro gamers. Mvp doesn't feel pitty!! Overall I wish IPL never even did this show match, they have so many awesome story lines/content to fill the weekend, all I can see this being is a lot of cheese as players don't want to show strats for the actual tournament. | ||

OR they could change the qualifications to Top (CODE S) Players according to GSL points and kick Seed off the team, lol | ||
