[edit] Controversy
- Many fans are questioning the method by which teams are selected due to the exclusion of IM from this GSTL. GomTV used the same method to select teams as they used in the past two Team Leagues; however, they have stated that they are willing to rethink the team selection process.[3]
[edit] Trivia
- All the winners of the tournament sat on the bench on the left side of the studio.
- Capital ship watch: Number of games where these units were a major factor in the outcome:
Unit W L Battlecruiser 0 0 Brood Lord 0 0 Carrier 0 0 Mothership 0 0
