I'm potentially excited about the 12 teams...since it means they are going to need ALOT of lower tier ex pros/BTeamers and amateurs. If it's Bo5, that means you need 55-60 players at a minimum, which means at least half or so ought to be new blood with good opportunities.

Now if they Bo3 or have a silly format, that would be a little more disappointing.

I disagree. You can't have offline proleague. It's far too many matches, with too many people, on different days when everyone is living over the country. Unless true professional teams made a comeback I can't envision you getting 30+ of these guys to make trips with a weekly or greater frequency to one of the Afreeca studios.

It's not going to be as big as ASL, but depending on format and how it ends up being viewed, it could be significantly bigger than any other event.

a world where STX is the strongest team.

I guess those 6 fans of STX can be happy.

I'm not sure STX is neccessarily stronger than SKT. Depends on the format. Best is a very solid protoss, Larva is one of the best zergs, and Rain is the current best protoss and most recent ASL champion.

Terror, Calm, and Notice basically don't add anything. Obviously herO is pretty damn good. Mini has been strong lately. Last is good, but I don't think I'd consider him better than Rain or Larva overall atm. Shuttle is decent, but nothing special.

I'd probably give the edge to STX currently, but it's not a blatant advantage in my opinion.

This sounds awesome. Team Oz is a little short on players, maybe they should recruit MustacheZerg, PirateZerg, and OzSucksBallsWithoutMe?
