Fastest Map Possible is definitely very competitive. I know it's not a *standard* map that many hardcore players scoff at, but it contains a lot more macro than a typical map. Because you're not forced to expand, you focus fully on making a lot of units and microing them effectively. There are also many creative strategies to attack your opponent's cluster, cannon rushes are viable, etc.

I think protoss is best on FMP, does anyone have balance thoughts? The combination of zealot pressure, cannons early into a bevvy of scary tech like reaver drops, storm drops, and carriers...plus mass cannons in late game all around your nexus? It's pretty impressive how unbreakable a Protoss can be in FMP.

I wonder, how will the next season go? Will they pick a fresh new draft everytime? What is the role of coaches? Other than pick order.

well obviously they have to manage training, field players during matches and so forth and then later I guess there will be exchanges or something
The players have been managing their own training for years. Who is going to tell Flash how to train and expect Flash to follow them?

Will Flash go T or random? That would probably give some excitment to the first pick, as a R Flash might not get picked first.

it says on the player list that his race is still terran

The idea is that it prevents one or more teams from drafting a larger number of the best players and thus have a distinct competitive advantage. For example imagine having Flash, Rain, Last, Soulkey, & ZerO on the same team? That would be inherently unfair.

The 2nd reason is it gives the players listed in Tier 5 a chance to play in casted events and given exposure. Most of those in Tier 5 aren't, for the most part, good enough to regularly qualify for the ASL.

sSak, Bisu, BeSt would be the afreeca era FBB. Add a good zerg to it and this would be a solid team.

Well, A team would only get "the top 5 players" (Flash, Rain, Last, Soulkey and Zero) if no other team picks them? Also teams would be forced to pick lesser players either way when the better ones are gone. Without tiers, the teams themself would have to judge what player fits their team best and allow maximum creativity. F.e, since they have a 3v3 format maybe they want three specific players that have good synergy and practice in team games. That will be hard with the tier division, since two of those three players can be in the same division and there's no chance to get them both.

Short answer: without tiers Piano would have to first pick himself instead of an active top progamer.

Piano is rated way to low btw. The fact that he can pick from all tiers but the bottom is a huge advantage.
