Wait what? I thought Flash was exempt due to his surgery and the gigantic scar he has on his arm/shoulder. Did something change?
Stork was also exempt due to insomnia and Rain due to being a kidney donor. IIRC these were the 3 more relevant pro's with exeptions. Surprise to hear this about Flash.
Will he go to a "desk" job there?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Draft results:
Round 1:
Snow --> Best
(Snow said that in order to win the league they'll have to beat Flash and Best seems like the right person to do it and he should also manage to do well in PvP and PvZ // Best said he's worried about PvZ)
Larva --> Bisu
(Larva also wanted Best, his aim was to pick people he knows from the Proleague days, hopes Bisu performs like he did in MSL // Bisu thinks putting together an ex-SKT team is kewl)
Light --> Mini
(Light thinks XvP matchups are hard, looks to pick ppl who do well vs P // Mini is surprised he got picked this early)
Flash --> Soulkey
(Flash thinks Soulkey has strong fundamentals // Soulkey thanks Flash for picking him, asks Flash to carry him to victory)
Soma --> Sorry
(Soma considers Sorry a good friend who puts in the work when it comes to practice)
Zero --> Stork
(Agrees Protoss is the race to be worried about right now, thinks it's important to pick someone who does well in vP first and foremost // Stork thinks he does well in situations where both players have the same units at their disposal and recommends Zero pick Rush)
Round 2:
Zero --> Rush
(Zero initially fancied picking Shuttle but concedes Rush has recently been the best performing Terran after Flash and Light)
Soma --> Effort
Flash --> Action
(Something about Action and Soulkey's styles being vastly different)
Light --> hero
Larva --> Ssak
(The casters wonder whether Larva will carry on in his attempt to rebuild SKT, Larva says winning is one thing but winning with style is another // Larva teases picking Hyuk // Ssak contemplates the meaning of life after looking at his team and promises to try hard as long as Larva tries hard as well)
Snow --> JyJ
Round 3:
Snow --> Shuttle
(Asked for a reason, Snow can't think of anything specific that made him choose Shuttle // Snow believes Shuttle was doing well up until about a month ago, Shuttle apologises to his fans for slacking and promises to get back to that level)
Larva requests to call Bisu to ask for advice.
Larva --> Killer
(Larva teases picking Hyuk again, gives up on his dream of putting an all ex-SKT team together and goes for Killer instead)
Light --> Piano
Flash --> free
(Flash is satisfied with his picks so far, agrees Protoss is strong in the current meta and opts to pick one to fill the roster // free knows Flash likes to win and promises to do well)
Soma --> Sharp
(Sharp admits he hasn't been performing well, was worried he might not get picked, thanks Soma // (?) Soma says there's nothing Sharp can't do <3 )
Zero --> Miso
(Zero thinks it's difficult to pick someone at this stage, thinks Miso's ZvZ in 2020 was strong // Miso is ecstatic to be picked // Zero asks Miso to stop shouting and to focus on ZvZ and ZvP // Miso says he's been practicing on ladder unbeknownst to anyone)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Team captains have the liberty to add up to 2 players to their rosters.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

efforts current form isn't really great, hesitation in picking him is understandable

I saw him and Best slapping each other around the other night... and he did just get out of the military.. I bet competitively he brings the HEAT

Effort has 36,4% winrate since coming back from army, far worse than Shuttle or Free for example. Most notable is his 10-22 record against Shuttle, player who has been notoriously bad since his militaryservice. Maps dont help either, most of Efforts wins against protoss are in Benzene so he is kind of wild card at this point.

In my heart I believe Effort is not a JaeDong. ASTL will be his warm up for ASL.

I must be completely wrong, i thought shuttle has been notoriously good since out of the military, especially against z (as usual).

All in all, groups look fairly balanced. Should be fun to watch!

If we exclude first couple of weeks when Shuttle came back, he still has 40% winrate. Last month it was something like 43%. Yes, his best matchup is pvz with something like 44%. Given the ammount of games Shuttle grinds, it is not good.
