Which team you pick will not only affect your spectator experience but also your posting on the BW forums, cause we all know the evil empire(s) need to be brought down. | ||

i agree on the power rank being great, they let you get a feel for the ups and downs of each individual player and the history of the dominance behind some of the current and past greats (if you see the streaks that jaedong was on, you might wonder how people don't consider him above flash at least historically until you see how much emphasis people put on the sheer amount of DOMINANCE flash had during his peak, this coming from a JD fan) and lets you learn some of the bigger names in BW relatively quickly. The games that are linked in power ranks are also of good quality at least relevant to the players that they are linked to. | ||

Obviously I'm quite a new viewer, but these are the storylines that I attach to each team (Please excuse the inevitable factual errors): Airforce ACE: ACE is the perpetual underdog team, composed of "washed up" players who started their military service. The most famous of these is of course BoxeR himself, and nowadays Iris and firebathero. An extra bonus is that that some ACE players undergo a rebirth and they perform well above expectation, or even better than they used to.  ggaemo is a great example of this.Anyway, who doesn't like rooting for the underdog. ACE players are never the favourite when they plays (unless you're incredibly biased), but when all the odds are stacked against you, truly epic games can occur. Notable Past Players: BoxeR, YellOw,  ReachNotable Current Players: firebathero, ggaemo, Iris, Kal, greatTLDR: Watch them to see "old" players get a second shot at stardom and to watch great upsets. CJ Entus: CJ Entus is an incredibly deep team, with generations of top players and a zerg line. It's got some of the most entertaining players ( Leta, Horang2) and some of the best players (Hydra, EffOrt). Almost all of their talent is homegrown, and the story of their early days is quite awesome ([CJ] Face the Future). It's also fun to see each successive generation strive to do better.Notable Past Players: XellOs, IrisNotable Current Players: EffOrt, Hydra, Leta, Horang2, SnowTLDR: great players, great history KT Rolster: KT is of course the current champion, and has the greatest player of all time, R̶e̶a̶c̶h̶ Flash. You can watch them just to see the best player show off his skills. The mortal KT players can also be quite interesting, as they are all inconsistent with flashes of brilliance. IMO KT has an interesting "redemptive" storyline. Along with SKT, they have the most money to throw around, which gives them the"evil corporate empire" image. However, for all their money and purchases, it's their homegrown players that have proven the most clutch. Also, they've got Reach. and Flashcot, ruler of all.Notable Past Players: Nal_rA, YellOw, ChoJJaNotable Current Players: Flash, Stats, Violet, HoeJJa, ReachTLDR: Best player, interesting team Samsung KHAN: If you like Protoss (the race in general, not Bisu), you should probably follow KHAN, They've got an incredible Protoss lineup, with both Stork and JangBi. They've also got a coach who makes very interesting decisions, which can be fun to watch too.Notable Past Players: firebathero, sigamariNotable Current Players: Stork, JangBi, Grape, TurN, RealityTLDR: STOOORRKUUUU!!!!!! JAANGGGBBIIIII!!!! SK Telecom T1: The Emperor's Empire, SKT is a powerhouse. They are the most accomplished and popular team, and are the favourites everytime they play. They've also got Bisu. If you thought Artosis' hype of NesTea was bad, you should see what some people think of Bisu. SKT vs KT live reports can be very interesting reads. They've also got a cool mascot and the cutest fangirlNotable Past Players: BoxeR, iloveoov, RainBOw, KingdomNotable Current Players: Bisu, Fantasy, Best, Paralyze, Hyuk TLDR: Winningest team, Bisu, BunkieSTX SouL: Not much to say, unfortunately. STX SouL has fallen on tough times recently. Watch to see if some of the most inventive players can pull through and make this team good. Notable Past Players: July, KalNotable Current Players: Bogus, Calm, Shuttle, ToSsGirLWoongjin Stars: Woongjin zergs are awesome to watch. ZerO made the Queen viable, and the team is probably the most practised in ZvZ hive play. Their team also has this ridiculous bromance, which makes reading their interviews very entertaining. They're also pretty good at B M. Notable Past Players: GGPlayNotable Current Players: ZerO, Neo.G_Soulkey, Light, freeTLDR: Entertaining Zergs, entertaining interviews Team 8: Team 8 is a dream team, make no mistake about it. They have the aces of 3 teams, including the greatest zerg ever, Jaedong and proleague bonjwa Sea Just reading the articles about the team can cause nerd chills.Notable Current Players: Jaedong, Killer, BaBy, Sea, JaehoonTLDR: Watch to see the dawn of a new contender to the throne. | ||

Much better than a lot of more experienced fans would have written/known. That said in terms of proleague I feel that SKT has the beefiest protoss line-up. Bisu PvZ god (although his PvT was 100% winrate last winners league iirc) and proleague powerhouse, Best PvT sniper, By.Sun promising rookie Protoss player. Having both Bisu and Best means SKT can reliably pick one of these guys to win them any matchup. Jangbi and Stork are both really good PvT, but their PvP and PvZ are a bit shaky at times. I definitely follow Khan for the rookies though. TurN and Reality are both really fun to watch. TurN with the BoxeR style aggression and strategic risky openers, Reality with crisp strategies overall. If these two guys combined, you would have Neo BoxeR. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=220358 | ||

The people who are SKT fans above bisu fans may be the minority, but SKT would still be a dynamic team without him. Oh, and the flashcot is definitely NOT a reason to support KT. That thing is scary, and causes small children to cry. | ||

Everything from multitask bisu, to maco best, to sun who splits the difference, to paralyze who doesn't get to play enough because we have too many good players, but has some entertaining games of his own. soo has a defensive style, s2 has an offensive style, hyuk has a WTF style, and ssak always has some crazy build every time he is sent. And fantasy probably has the widest variety of play of any player, certainly of players of such a high caliber.
