Mixed:
1)Alumni
2)Apostles
3)Maybe Blackout


iDevice:
1)VIS
2)Alumni
3)Silver  

Actually motivated to win Mixed this time to get the 12 wins thing out of the way in the next 2 or 3 GSTs, not expecting to lose
Confident in iDevice's chances after how well they did last GST in Predation, happy to have old members back either way so we can finish this how we started it

Alumni will dominate the Mixed tourney.

iDev will be won by an underdog team. I'm not sure who that will be.

Why does everyone think idev will be won by an underdog team? When's the last time a underdog team won GST?

iDev has always seemed to have better chances of winning. Mostly due to it being locked to mobile devices as I hear PC is 'intimidating.' Alumni has been crushing the Mixed Tourney, as well, so the chances of winning iDev are much greater.

We all know it's because SLX hasn't been doing it recently!

You have the cause and effect switched m8 :>

Edit: Post number 1111, sign that Alumni is guaranteed to place #1 the next 4 GSTs and be done.  

PC players have been coming back from UN to inform me that there isn't a single PC sparrer in Alumni that is even considered top 10 by most UN sparers besides Ares. Which really inspired me to start kicking ass. So this whole next four seasons mumbo jumbo has more evidence on iclassic due to previous seasons but less evidence according most of the PC sparers I've been talking to lately. Hope Blackout or BTK crushes you guys. But in a friendly way.

That's probably because most PC players don't venture outside TC on UN or know half the people, and the ones they do know they just don't like. When I can log in UN and start winning spar events within 2 days from people I wouldn't give it a ton of credit, especially since they don't even play classic.

this is how people felt about the best sparrer in 2011 on pc. Everybody in Alumni is a bunch of nobodies to PCs who log onto here for their first time. NOT SAYING ALUMNI SPARRERS ARE NOBODIES. Just saying we've been brain washed into thinking Alumni has the best sparers on graal (including pc) which I'm now finding out is not true. As more PCs decide to log onto iclassic the less important alumni becomes. Thats how i see things happening and we'll see in a season or two if I was right or wrong.
PS forgot david was in alumni, he's recognized as great on PC graal too... but not usually considered top ten (from what I hear now)
US came and dominated with no competition until mother came, now Alumni is doing the same thing. Funny how easily PC players can come here and look like Gods and make iclassic players feel defeated.

What PCs are you referring to?

What PCs are you referring to?

Most of the original PC sparers who have been playing for years who came on this server on the past few months. The ones in SNC BTK and Blackout, the Knowledgable ones who aren't trying to hide/lie about their past on PC graal. I'm speaking in the words of other people and forming my own opinion about it. Thallen yelling "we will keep winning" is cute when there aren't even any established top tier PC guilds here other than blackout which is an inactive guild until GST which is the best competition Alumni has had on this server.

I myself haven't been with many good GST teams in the past because I've been leading my own underdog idevice teams for years. Alumni clearly has been winning fair and square, I just feel the need to inform people that this whole "winning 3-4 GSTs in a row" is only realistic because in the past they have had no competition. Hoping the Client Sparrers that I've been referring to in Blackout/BTK will pull through and back up what I'm saying here.

Also, hope to inspire anybody limiting themselves to learn how to spar on the same level as top tier sparers, because Alumni's skill level is far from the skill limit, you can go beyond that despite what Thallen and fulgore say on these GST posts every season to discourage mixed teams from banding together to actually win.  

Fulgore is one of the nice guys

i know fulgore for years. He's cool, maybe he's just brain washed like the rest of us stuck on iclassic.
