All those players were very renowned players. Many have once reached to the top at their height. I believe we can expect some great games throughout the league.
The round of 32 will be held throughout the last week of December. The first match will be held on January 24th, I think. It will be broadcasted on online. The round of 16 will be broadcasted at OngameNet, and it will start at January 8th.
Yeah, but there's some really clear favourites. Firebathero is a name that's great to see, but he is gonna be so out of practice. I think the most he's done with BW in the last year is stream a few casual games.
Killer is going to be so strong with no Bisu to stand in his way. I think there's only 3 or 4 players who even have a chance, and I don't give them much better than 35%
We'll have to see what the TV broadcast does to motivate them. I think Larva still wants to prove something, same with Zero. Jangbi is a wild card, you don't know how strong he's going to be. Sometimes he's just a good player, sometimes he crushes the league.
My picks for each race: Killer, Jangbi, Mong (but my heart says Fishieking).

Jangbi vs Zero Final for the storyline win.
agree to those picks. Though i really hope some of the underdogs can achieve an upset, that's where the best stories come from

What I mean by that is that I am wondering if people dress up and do weird shit.
I found the group selection intensely fun and interesting, thanks to the translations provided in the LR/chat. There was no weird shit and only little dancing. Zeus would of course put on a nice show. You can wait for the ro32 preview where the most interesting banters will be highlighted along with some additional translations and lovely pictures.

Not many crazy ceremonies though I liked Zeus' ceremony quite a bit so I would recommend you watch that. Overall, it was interesting to see what the players had to say, aka one of them gained 20kg supposedly LOL. I think the chat made it that much better but you'll get that with group selection summaries and such

I think not having Sea or Bisu hurt SSL just a bit but I agree, Killer is going to be unstoppable with no Sea or Bisu to give him a hard time. Given, I'm hoping we see someone step up, aka HIYA! and win the whole thing. Would be a dream :D I also wouldn't count on Jangbi. Unless he's been practicing a lot recently, his SSL9 games were pretty bad for someone of his caliber. I also hope ZerO makes it to the finals after beating Jangbi hehe.
Hero is a good player, but I don't think he has the star sense to take down an OSL, even in these post apocalyptic days of BW. The reason I give Jangbi credit is that he always comes out of no where when he starts playing really good.
Results for practice games on Fish don't seem all that persuasive to me. You can't play to win every game in practice.
