Then due to the blind nature of the Team League, you're a risky player to put forward as you'll autolose 33% of the time before the game has even started. (to a very popular race at that)

[cRSenSei]

In GSTL there are specific snipers for matchups?? (in saying that the leagues going to be that format)

[Benji]

Its not allkill format

[JesseTheKING]

agree with the direct invites, good picks there.

as for the qualifiers why aren't i inside when im higher then nearly everyone else on the GM ladder? Apart from my clan mates who are actually worthy invites but cleverly made to kill each other in the same group. pinder inactive for even longer than me and gets a slot? funny shit. oh yeh i forgot del is running this thats why.

nobody else noticed how he put all TA in two of the groups so at least two more TAs qualify from each group. good strategic mind you have del, maybe you should spend more time using it in starcraft instead and you won't be platinum forever.

Quick Comments

	NvRossi:	trying too hard
	TAriiChard:	LOL and if the TA players more more evenly distributed in the groups then you'd complain about group fixing. Nice try.
	Benji:	Jesse <3
	nirvAnA:	lol jesse sif u want to play! you said u were too inactive for clanwars even!
	deL:	1) Didn't know you were active (not even in SEA CL), but thanks for pointing out why you shouldn't play. 2) There is team dynamic to consider, no room for big egoes and team members that no one likes. 3) The all-TA group had spider but he withdrew.
	iM tgun:	You're more of a jackass than most of the TA members.
	TAavanar:	u didnt even play in the CL

[cRSenSei]

i don't know what world you come from but rank 50 gm with 50% win ratio isn't higher than everyone else in the tryouts apart from your clanmates O_O

i think the invitees are fine

If the TA players don't actually deserve to be in the team, then in the 3 qualifiers + wildcard games they will most likely lose? Seems pretty simple. If your clan mates are most deserving they will win? How is it not TA killing themselves in the same group too then also?

Pinder has come back this week and has been beating many, many top players already, and they needed a PROTOSS REPLACEMENT FOR INFISPIDER, who else would be more suitable? True, you could be in the qualifiers, and probably should be so that's a shame, but pinder was in the first Team Australia so he has the history and the best time to become active again.

I'd agree it's not fair but do not take unwarranted stabs at people please.

Quick Comments

Hocus:

using facts and reason, vintage 'what's on your head?' approach

[nGenLight]

Staying out of the grouping argument.

I personally think Jesse/KJH deserves a spot in the qualifiers provided they are active.

Also, I can support for how much Pinder has been ripping it up lately.

[Benji]

KJH has never won or entered anything.

[nGenLight]

He just came second in the Brissy comp.

[cRSenSei]

And he was in team aus season 1.

[TAEdgE]

Maybe adding 1 extra player to each group would be a good idea. Jesse/KJH/??

An idea could be using highest ranked left over aus ladder player. Seems like it's... not sure. Don't know if kyzersoze is aussie

True, but he got a walkover against his Ro8 opponent and his semi-final win was 2-1 over Hectic, a talented player but one who has about 1 game a week if that due to his work and is not at the level required for this competition. Can't read too much into it.

I have watched his FP Stream a lot and have not seen too many impressive results - he was in the first Aus team for the NW League so don't think I hadn't considered him. He would definitely be considered were any other players were to step down from the qualifiers, though.

First up, I didn't know you were active as you didn't even compete as part of aLt in the recent SEA ClanLeague.

Secondly, your post kind of proved why you won't be considered for the team. Your attitude is not that of a team player - the way you lash out with some absurd claims rather than asking politely to be considered for selection shows you're not mature enough to work as a team for such an important event. There's no room for out of control egoes or players that no one else can stand to be around in a team event.

Third, the all-TA group was formed because Spider withdrew of his own accord and required a potential Protoss replacement and it just so happened Pinder was back from inactivity and performing solidly. Your accusations of fixing the groups are of course absurd - if TA was in any way being favoured they would recieve either direct invites or be spread amongst the groups to their advantage seeing top 2 go through. Having all TA in one group means 2 players who could potentially qualify from TA will not have a chance...

If you are going to argue why so many TA players were included in the qualifiers in the first place then consider the "big 4" of the SEA teams (inFi, TA, nGen, aLt). A similar number of players from each team would be at a similar skill level - say, good enough to be considered for the national team - and TA is almost an all-Australian team. Of course a lot of Team Aus representatives are going to be from TA in just the same way that there are no TA members representing the Singapore team, but there are aLt players because it's a Singapore clan.

EDIT: @EdgE yeah if kyzersoze is Aussie he can for sure play - KJH too. If 2 more players are suggested who could play for Aus in addition to KJH I'd see no problem increasing the group sizes.

[cRSenSei]

more people the better =) 5 per group sounds good to me!

kjh/kyzersoze/filthy??
