UPDATE: Rock, Zeus, Brave, and Fengzi are announced for SRT16!

The full list for players have been released now:
P: (P)Pusan, (P)Shuttle, (P)Lazy, (P)Rock, (P)Sky, (P)Movie, (P)Hi, (P)Hint, (P)Tyson, (P)Zeus, (P)BeSt, (P)Brave
T: (T)Sea, (T)Mong, (T)HiyA, (T)sSak, (T)Shinee, (T)Notice, (T)Sexy, (T)Ample
Z: (Z)Larva, (Z)Killer, (Z)StarCue, (Z)beast, cn (Z)Fengzi, (Z)Cola, (Z)ZergMaN, (Z)Saber, (Z)Snail, (Z)hero

Most notable returns are Shinee, Notice, Killer, and Saber
First time in SOSPA competition is Rock, Zeus, BeSt, Brave, and Fengzi
Fengzi is the first non-korean to partake in SOSPA events.




Today Sonic announced the 16th SOSPA Ranking Tournament on his message board. The next season will most likely be before the 9th Season of the SSL. SRT will yet again host a 32-man tournament based on invites. Only one of those invites have been decided thus far, and it's (P)BeSt. He won't be joining the army until the 26th of September, so the next season will most likely be played before then.

The 16th season is sponsored by Sinbal Farm, with no prize pool announced yet. Sonic is also looking for recommendations on who the other 31 players should be, and invites everyone to leave a comment on his message board.

Original Korean text:
+ Show Spoiler +
15차와 다른점은 현재 16차 랭킹전에 SKT 전프로 도재욱 선수가 추가 되었습니다.
여러분들이 생각하는 종족별 베스트 32명의 엔트리를 댓글로 써주시면
참고해서 섭외 해보겠습니다.

16차 랭킹전의 스폰서는 신발팜입니다.
감사합니다^^

Oh man that could potentially be awesome news. Depends on how much practice BeSt can get in before it kicks off.

32 people means sponsorship continues I assume? A bit fast having three SRTs right after eachother like this though. Kinda miss the various event matches

Sinbal Farm, aka Sonic himself, will sponsor the next season, not iStarPCMall

Regardless of the result, it will be a privelege to watch Best at work. IMO he is totally able to give Sea run for his money.

Maybe since it is Proleague off-season some former BW pros will make an appearance.

I may be completly wrong in here, but I highly doubt kespa will let any one of their players play a bw tournament, even if it's off season. And afaik no "active pro" has played in any sospa event, right?

Fantastic!
The legend of the fall, which everyone thought was only a dream, is being revived! Carriers, the symbol of Protoss, the hope of a million Protoss fans, are reviving the legend!

hmm would be nice but I doubt it. Best did leave SKT T1 though which is why he's playing here. Definitely catching the games now! :D

Can you play during your mandatory military service? Not like ACE, but can you like doing it on spare time (if there's any, dunno?)
Would be amazing if Best coming back to BW not just for this.

probably decided to quit T1 since he couldn't make the A-team with so many Protoss to compete against.
