I do believe that teams will more or less be set and that there will be trades in future seasons and drafts for non assigned players based on their ASL performance.

Awesome news!
btw one thing I noticed:
- Stork is in the coaches and drafted as tier 1 player?

basically he doesn't get a pick in the 1st round since he has to pick himself.

That's interesting because that poses the question of future sponsorship, including team sponsors to allow for a similar setup to that of the Global Team Championship in StarCraft II.
I doubt teamhouses will ever be a thing again, but if this new league can create opportunities for sponsorships & salaries like there is the GTC then the future just got brighter.

No JD  guess his military service is expected to start soon? (although I've been thinking that for years so who knows)
Soulkey is there though so I guess he won't be re-enlisting any time in the near future
Points (for tiers) are based on their performances in Seasons 8&9 so potentially some bargains in later rounds

This is amazing, can't wait for it to start!
Also a very interesting format would should make for great banter and entertainment.
"First Round picking order is determined via lottery(the random ball pick in group selection), the following round will be reverse of the previous round, picks are based on the tiers."
Well I guess we all know who is going to get picked first?
