Hey guys I am just going to give a quick ranking and discussion of teams in the iptl premir division. If you have an opposing opinion feel free to post below! (note everything i say is an opinion and based on observed performance, im not hating anyone <3) Today i will do liquid and eg. i will do more for every team (prolly on days when i have time)

Group A:
Evil Geniuses: EG has been a fan favorite team for a while now and currently rest 1-0 in their group after a win over Liquid
Roster break down:
iNcontroL: An interesting player but probably won't see much time unless there is a specific situation (but i still love him)

Machine:Much like Incontrol, i dont expect to see much of machine but if we do, hope to see him come out strong!

IdrA: IdrA's participation in team league will be key to their victory. His strong mechanics and experience should make him a staple of the eg line up.

DeMusliM: Very strong terran. I expect to see alot of DeMuslim in IPTL especially if Thorzain is unavailable.

PuMa: Maybe the best terran on EG and expect to see him alot, especially when they need to snipe a terran

JYP: JYP is going to be KEY to EG's success here as he is a valuable zerg sniper. His pvt weakness can still be exploited (although hes gotten much better) but still should be in their lineup almost every match.

ThorZaIN: Not much to say. Amazing terran and i expect to see him

HuK: HuK has flashes of brilliance but has been overshadowed by his current lack of impressiveness in his play. Dont think we will see much of huk.

Suppy: Suppy is a good zerg but new to EG. Not sure if he will be played alot, or if he will be overshadowed by IdrA and stephano

Stephano: The newly cursed stephano will never play in team league. He is horrible. Definatly not their ace, and i don't expect every other team to have a prepared sniper for him if they hope to be sucessfull.


Prognosis: Strong/fair. EG is looking good going into this season. I expect them to make it out of their group in flying colors.

Team Liquid Group A
Team liquid IS the most popular sc2 team by alot. They (taeja) dominated the lower bracket last season and took a close second to IM. However, this season the lack a depth to their line up seems to have caught up as they are 0-2 with losses to EG and MVP
TaeJa: Taeja is on fire right now. This guy just keeps winning....all the time. Taeja is by far liquids ace and WILL be in every match for them. Its just a matter of how many wins the rest of the team can get before taeja finishes the job.

Zenio: Strong zerg player ususally good for a win or 2. Should be in most matches but not going to be all killing any time soon.

HerO: Oh hero, You looked so strong. Recently HerO has looked very weak in team leagues and has been living up to his incredible skill. Although herO is a top korean Protoss, he needs to step up his game in the team league.

TLO- TLO is a crazy player that can be used as a sniper to players who dont know him. He has been training in Korea and hopfully can look strong.

Ret: Although a strong zerg, he has looked very unimpressive in team league.

Sheth: Probably the second most consistant player on TL (tied with zenio for second) he will be a staple for them and is good for a win or two.

NonY: Don't expect to see nonY much

Prognosis: poor. Liquid looks to fall out of their 2nd place throne from last season and will have to go back to the drawing board to come up with a way to irk out a few more wins before they send in Taeja.

Thanks guys! but before i go a quick power rank (this is totally my opinion based on analysis of linups) of the teams!
1. Incredible Miracle

2.Star Tale

3. Slayers

4. Prime

5. EG

6.TSL

7. MVP

8. Liquid

THANKS GUYS :D <33333

Nice player analysis but I think you are strongly overestimating slayers. Literally their last 2 GSTL matches have been all kills... and not in the good way. I rank the teams:
IM
ST
Prime
TSL
MVP
Slayers
EG
Liquid
