The next two teams should be Liquid and IM.
Then we can see a team of ret/huk/haypro/jinro in the gstl :DD

maybe they should look at the topX players of every team to decide, i hope they find a good solution for the GTSL after this =( | ||

The fact that the team that's been in both finals is somehow not good enough to be in the league is pretty stupid. I don't care about GOM's system. They should have modified it somehow to make sure one of the best, if not the best, teams in the world got into the tournament. Just because they don't have 8 players in Code A doesn't mean they aren't a good team. | ||

Sure they may not have the stupid points requirement, but surely going to the FINALS of both previous GSTL's has to account for something no?

Just because they don't have 8 players in Code A doesn't mean they aren't a good team. See... but then the question comes up. Are they really the best team, or are they just very top heavy... and ride that advantage to the finals. Of course they still have other solid players... every team does, but overall it seems they rely on a few of their top players for a team league. Also, there honestly haven't been that many matches, and while getting to the finals both times is a great accomplishment, it also isn't unheard of. You need to win 2 matches to get to the finals and that's it. That all being said, I do think it sucks that they are not in because despite what I have said, I still feel they are deserving... but my argument is that the point system may still hold validity. It is to have a clear cut way of marking which team should qualify based on overall (as a team) performance. Hopefully that was all clear. | ||

I'd honestly rather have some bias invovled to get IM in the league than have them excluded completely. All I know is this makes everything a lot less exciting, even though I'm sure we'll see some great games. Oh well. | ||

Also, this is really a problem because there's just *now* enough teams to expand the format. Remember, Liquid was 9th overall back during the first one, with only 3 ppl out in Korea. With 2 more Korean teams, they should probably consider extending the tournament out another round with some Byes for previous placing teams. Yeah, it'd add another 2 days to the Tournament, but it also gives them more Content. While odd, realistically, this is more of a problem of having more teams capable of fielding a competitive roster, so they really should look to expand for the next GSTL. | ||

IM players win both Code S and Code A and dont get to play in GSTL ? That just silly. Whatever the solution they will choose they HAVE to get IM in there. | ||

The method they use to choose teams for the GSTL has been well known, publicized, and completely transparent. To change it simply because people aren't happy with the results of that method - on the THIRD iteration of the team league - would be incredibly unfair to MVP. And to honestly expect GOM to change their method of team picking - a transparent method based on actual preformance metrics, goes against everything the community has claimed to want, as a whole, in earlier tournaments (See: NASL qualification, any invitational tournaments) | ||

If Liquid had gotten 8th, but IM had gotten 9th, and then GOM changed the rules to exclude Liquid because it was "ridiculous that IM wasn't in", would that be fair?

I think no one really cared before because previously the system was almost a formality - the top teams were included along with some underdogs. However, when the point system says Prime, Zenex, and fOu are more qualified to perform in a team league over IM, then the system itself is flawed and should be changed. | ||

Hey guys, one guy on my team can all-kill your team. Oh, look, you're in and we're not. Ridiculous. Fuck the rules, that's just a ridiculously flawed system. Two time finalists and one-time champions of a tournament that don't get to be in the tournament... just.... wow. | ||
