Personally, I think Gamst's K League has the highest odds of winning. Go Reach!
Also the sponsors in English: Connects Zero Term (Nal_ra): seems to be a company that helps with important tests, specifically TOEIC. Seliver Shoes (Rainbow): obviously sells shoes. PicUP (Firebathero): honestly I don't get economics at all, but looks like a brand-influencer marketing platform with reaches in popular SNS platforms. AfreecaTV (Nada): yeah. Isoi Perfect Man (Zeus): beauty products. According to Zeus, his wife uses products from this company. Nol Kkot (Iris): an app that compares places to drink, eat, and generally engage in hedonism. Available on Google Play also. Gamst K League (Reach): Gamst is a popular streamer ("World Class") who does variety and soccer. He also has a great deal of passion for BW, and sometimes competes against Animal Tier female streamers. Shinhan Invest (Pusan): a Korean bank, and also sponsored the tournament aside from just a team.
Thanks, very useful info. It should be in the OP in my opinion

yeah I had to open 3 windows to do that fantasy league team thing. Kept referencing this post, then the OP, then the player/team cost cause there isn't a single post that shows it all efficiently (and translated)
Also, why the f did they pick a map that was last played in 2001? I mean it's nice for the Zerg, but other than that.. they should've looked into Freaklings selection

What? Oldest map there is peaks of beakdu which was made in 07 I think and the last time it was played was something like last year

Eye of Typhoon is 2001. It's fine though because it's a teamleague. Maps good for one raceway are ok there :D

It's not eye of typhoon, it's eye of the storm tho.

Ah i see.. so it's just a mistake. Makes more sense now.

Just going to translate Stork's points on his rankings on the teams. Personally I put a lot of weight into what he says because he's played the game for such a long time and was a coach at one point. Note he really likes the word 'unreliable'.
8. Shinhan Investing (Pusan): Though it may seem odd to have a team with Flash rated so low, all of the other members are comparatively weak. Sera (Seo Yeonji) is not in great form, so can't guarantee a win either. For this team to work, Pusan must put out the entry correctly so that Flash always takes out the other team's ace.
(Honestly I feel that he underestimates Shine here, but even so Leta and Tyson are 1 lose cards, and there is no stability in Sea, Shine, or Sera.)
7. Seliver Shoes (Rainbow): Oz is a 100% one lose card, JyJ and Ggaemo a bit unreliable due to his long break, and Hyuk is weak to Terrans (in a Terran favoured map pool*). So Last and Cadenzie have to play Flash's role in this team, although Flash individually is a more reliable one win card.
*)During the team selection ceremony this seemed to be universally agreed, it's not Stork just whining.
6. PicUp (Firebathero): The female player here (I don't know her ID, Kkonibooging?) is relatively weak, and other than Effort, no players are reliable (including Stork in his own words). Mong is more of a Battlegrounds BJ, and Fake JD/Soma needs a good dice roll to do well. For the team to work, Stork thinks this team requires a bit of luck as the skill of male players feel random by the day.
(In fact, Firebathero beat Mong and Guemchi before Soma stopped him.)
5. Connects Zero Term (Nal_ra): NamDukSun is in the middle ground between good and bad. She's not great at ZvZ (22 losses to Cadenzie), but as a Zerg she can't even confidently beat Sera. Rain, Mind, and Action are very solid players though, but Rain being the ace player is questionable as only one map is good for Protoss. Plus Rain himself is not as reliable as Effort or Last. Finally, ForGG is too predicable (too many timing pushes) and Sasin does awful during competitions.
Also, the uniforms may cause the players to lose focus both due to the Afreeca chats and discomfort.
(Mind has been having issues with his wrist and he seems to be hanging out with the female streamer Hyeri a lot more. Not sure if Mind is all that reliable currently.)
4. Isoi Perfect Man (Zeus): Sangho and Movie are unreliable, although JD, Light, and Where are good players. The female player Ddobongsoon is similar to the NamDukSun in that she can't be trusted to beat any high tier female players. Sangho may actually be great, as Isoi could potentially match him against Flash which is like a 0.5 win.
(JD has talked about how MPL was the only reason he's playing SC now as he's planning to travel presumably before going to the army. Also, Zeus has contacted a sponsor and ensured that his team would get the finest gear, as according to him a coach's role is to be a father who lets his pupils perform.)
3. AfreecaTV (Nada):Though Jaehoon, Sacsri and Noble (a real asshole by the by), are weak cards, they're in the upper echelons in comparison to other teams. However, in comparison to the top two, they're not too reliable. Though they have Darin, they also have Noble (did I mention that he is a real asshole?).
(There was some debate whether Noble is good or not in Stork's chat.)
2. Nol Kkot (Iris): While placed in second place, Soulkey, Mini, Rush/ASLChampRush are good players. Even Calm isn't so bad that he should be deliberately used to take a hit from the other team's ace. Both this team and the next have excellent balance.
1. Gamst K League (Reach): Stork rated Aegong higher than SarangE. Also, Larva, Best, and Horang2 are all very solid players. Organ is an excellent Zerg sniper, but is good in other match-ups in comparison to Calm.
