Mvp was seeded into IPL 5 and the World Championship - both of which are to be played in Las Vegas November 29 - December 2 - by being the leader by GSL points. As his wrist problems will keep him away from the tournaments, however, the number six in the GSL ranking and IPL 4 runner-up Squirtle will take his spot.
Attn @starcraft fans Due to wrist injury @lgimmvp will not be competing at #IPL5 & #GSLWCBased on GSL points @st_squirtle will replace him
