I know nothing of this..please explain. As far as the entire principle of "stealing" members goes (which we did not do regardless to my knowledge) if a member is that fickle anyway, they practically aren't on a team in the first place. Again, I know nothing of this at all. As far as all of the "Deity is no threat" comments, sorry to disappoint, as the scheduling gods have grown angry with us apparently. Hopefully we can pull some wins through teamwork to overcome our overall lack of widely known players with spar skill, which opposition has a lot of this time (looking at you Alumni lol).  

Deity is still top 2 team to me if they use the right people
not as if we expect this to be some free GST just because we have players with certain reputations

Is Alumni doing mixed with 2 teams?  

no, I'm pretty sure we will never do that
we struggled to find enough people to fill out our Mixed team until MK and Dante joined, then Eko got unbanned unexpectedly, and then 6 hours after I kicked Ares out of Alumni for a full year of inactivity he decided to show up with interest in the GST, so 4 people popped up that we didn't expect to be able to use

You guys have a downfall because now you are the possibly the favorites to win so everyone will be expecting you guys. Just my opinion but I personally would be surprised if Alumni wins mixed.  

God has a will for Alumni this season.

It's peoples fault for not getting loyal members, I've had the same team for 2months except for 1 person because of them being banned recently I made one change. Seriously if you decide your gst team early it's better because then you get to know your team better and they have less chance of ditching you.  

Fortiko was with me for weeks but ofcourse he can't refuse an offer from a team like Deity

I hope we can work out some nice coordination between the core, our finals shot would depend on that. I'd absolutely love Deity vs. Alumni finals, I think it'd be a very good game, several renowned sparrers. That Ares just gotta show up at the worst times (for everyone else).

SLX has taken a huge gamble here they have split their best players in 2 teams instead of making one amazing team so this I personally think won't benefit them because they should have went all out on 1 amazing team.

Just to clear up some confusion regarding our team, we've always had more or less the same team for every GST, which consists of our 6 or so leaders who've been active and loyal to the guild since their beginnings. The only thing that changes each GST is our sub spots (which are voted on by the cores and are chosen from only our guild). The way our SLX team is set up won't be changing in a while, unless some of us quit or the other members of the guild shine with a good attitude, loyalty, and skill.

The reason why we have or had more than one teams is because we wanted the members who weren't on the SLX team to stick together with the guild and have a chance to participate. This year we got an iSLX team doing the idevice tournament and an SDE team which is going to compete with us in the mixed one. Each team is stacked in their own respect, so there should be a good amount of competitiveness. So think of it as 3 different teams managed by the same guild, each doing what they need to do to win.

I know this isn't my business but you kinda showed everyone where your loyalty stands and people will think about it when they make their gst teams.  

Don't let this get off topic again

Anyway don't count Apostles out I think, now that people don't think they are as good as they once were I still think they have the potential to win.
