Because the other teams want to show their rosters are more than the very best of their very best star players? Though most teams are bringing out some big guns too... I'm not sure quite what you're trying to get at.

Curious was on a huge roll when they picked their players. He just got knocked out of code s today though, bummer, July is still probably better overall but he's pretty predictable at this point so idk. Imo all the teams picked at least arguably their best or currently hottest players except for slayers. Ganzi is pretty beast but MMA should be in there probably instead of coca, maybe he wants to focus on gsl or something though and try to become a multi champion like mvp/mc/nestea. Either way, sick lineup of players.

Oh my god Life's getting a chance to play with the big boys!
I'm so happy, I hope he doesn't get nervous about it.
Very cool looking tournament on paper, actually quite excited about this one whereas I wasn't so much for the first AoL ^^

ST have said forever that Curious is their best Zerg in their team practice.

Totally agree man, but keep in mind CoCa is actually too good to automatically put under MMA/Ganzi. I dunno, I think CoCa might've been chosen simply because he IS just as good/if not better than MMA or Ganzi. He doesn't have amazing tournament results (yet), but we've seen that he can take on and beat anyone at any given time. MLG? Sheeeit, CoCa was a beast there.

It's a special event guys MKP wins by default, gom should just give him the money j/k.

Did they require each team to field 2 players of different races?

IM actually sent Nestea and MVP? Damn that is sexy.
|
Daaaaaaamn thats a sick lineup! Too bad no MMA and Nada, but I guess Nada is busy studying at the moment?
|
No MMA... No Huk or Naniwa... Oh well.

Slayers probably didn't want to burn out MMA like last time(GSTL, MLG, Super tournament.) It's also good to give different players a chance to shine in these tournaments and have them feel like they're a part of the team. The players they sent out are really good too, MMA just happens to be their best. They did the same thing in the last GSTL, not wanting to rely on MMA for everything but it didn't turn out too well hehe.
I would like to have seen EG in there instead of Zenex.

no seal? :o I thought he was at least on par with jiakji, though my information might be outdated.
|
IMMvP and IMNesTea... So unfair for all other teams
|
MMA mentioned in one of the interviews last season that he was glad to be able to focus only on Code S with GSTL being done. Its possible he passed up playing in this to focus on trying to repeat Code S
Other than that all the players make sense. Kinda wish we could see Nada instead of Supernova though
Really excited for this. I think it will probably be Khaldor's GSL debut too

Even if Slayers want to rest MMA, they still should have sent Taeja or Ryung instead of Coca.

I think Taeja is their best all around player but there's probably some rule where you can only send one of each race or something. Also, Slayers is known for their terrans so having another race in there is good. There's only one terran in Coca's group and he has good ZvP and ZvZ so I think he will be ok.
