I would say Team 8 was a good pick. They are a new team, and as a new fan you can watch them from their start.

Always good choice to root the new team!

You sir, have chosen wisely. But seriously, watch some PL and that may not be what team you end up rooting for ^^

I think I just fell in love with Flash when I first saw him play, and so I've followed KT and gradually fell in love with the team itself.

We're going to win PL this season, the team has an awesome and talented roster with the likes of EffOrt and Hydra as our top Zergs, Movie, Horang2 and Snow as top Protoss and Leta as a top terran. So many top and awesome players, how can you pick any other team? Just make the right decision, get a CJ icon next to your sig and join our ranks as an entusman!

Although as long as you don't root for KT, or SKT, I'll like you as a person.

wonderful people like GTR and nanashin will stream PL and starleague matches when available, with nevake's youtube channel full of BW(and esports) history, unlike GSL, you don't have to pay for it  .
on the news side, just like what you do following SC2 scene: check the BW General forum for news and BW Tournaments for LR threads.

I have an undying loathe for KT that has been harbored for a long time now...

KT = if NOT Flash Fanboy or Chin Fan (R.I.P. Chintoss), then either A = jaded fan longing for YellOw/Reach days or B = does NOT exist
Ace underdogs mini STX/Khan FTW!

omg this is awesome. thanks for all the info. i was just like you, played bw back in the day but then stopped. now back to bw and loving it.
I hope Team 8 does well. I like jaedong and i have a thing for baby.

Just though I'd update with my Fantasy Pro-League Choices, hopefully I don't place too badly XD
JaedongRaeGu Autopick Jaedong Captain He's Team 8's "ace" player, and even without ace matches I suspect we'll see him every match since Team 8 didn't sign OzSucksBallsWithoutMe, or PirateZerg. Plus, his name has "dong" in it, so he's going to be a Team League monster. n.Die_soO As a newcomer to Brood War, I was very surprised to see a player like this that I heard so much about valued at only 4 points.  sKyHigh I had him next to wooki so tabbing back and forth I made an error of thinking he was on KT, he's actually on CJ, so I think the only reason I chose this guy is I heard he was good and I like his name. Playing Terran on these maps is also a plus. firebathero Between knowing that he's one of the best players on ACE, and having seen his ceremonies, I want him to do well, so for 4 points he's on my team. He should see a lot of playing time.  wooki So I heard Flash hyped this guy for the upcoming Proleague, so I think he'll at least see some playing time, on that alone. For 3 points, not a terrible gamble. BByong When it came down to picking a 1-point player, I picked the one I had heard about, that being Bbyong. He's a total blind pick for me, but hopefully it'll pay off. Team: Team 8 I drew a team out of a bucket, and my choice landed me with The Ocho, so this was an easy pick, even if they're 5 points. Anti-TeamKal From what I've read, Kal was slumping and went to ACE, so hopefully he won't see an absurd amount of playing time/success Snow I chose Snow because he's Protoss, he's a high value player that likely won't see as much play as some of the similar value players, and while he's on CJ, he's a safer anti-choice compared to the rest of the 6 point players. hyvaa I chose hyvaa because frankly, I have no idea who he is, and he's on STX. Those two factors should mean he's fairly safe on my anti-team to start with. This is my first time playing FPL, so I don't think I'm going to trade much, unless I made a huge blunder somewhere. I'll be proudly cheering for The Ocho and my players!

If you want to watch Proleague with english commentary, Sayle will be casting VODs of the games the same day they are played.
Nothing beats korean BW commentators, but Sayle is Day9's successor, top 3 BW english casters ever (Sayle/Day9/Tasteless, in no particular order)

skyhigh was once the sickest TvTer but then he started slumping

Don't undervalue Protoss players, they have a slight edge in teamleagues.
And best thing for your Anti-Team is just to fill it up with KT Zergs. (see last Proleague Finals)
Edit: And yes, there are better 3 pointes than skyhigh, like Shine or Grape.

Haha, you should have gotten yourself Minidong as well then. You can never have too much Dong in a team ^^
I don't know if we're going to be seeing much of skyhigh, considering how many superior players CJ has and how poorly he did last season. You're better off with another 3-pointer imo.
And it's a good thing you're not a Bisu fan. If you were, you'd never forget hyvaa. His mere existence would be like a knife in your soul, the same way Shine's is T__T
