Honestly with players not taking this too seriously I can see Flash taking KT a pretty long way (I see Flash as the player who's the most likely to win games that aren't prepared for ... him or JD/Bisu at least). But it's not like players won't prepare at all and he has GOM finals so maybe not.

I would really really like to see a team do a beast run (like 7th to 1st or 5th to 1st or something) just to make this actually interesting in the end. I feel like this is the only scenario that would generate enough pride/team spirit to make teams actually care.

Ahhhh that CJ vs Oz highlight video was so epic the first time I saw it, and it's still so epic.

Can't wait for the matches to begin.

WOW what is the deal with the format? I mean it isn't an official tournament or anything... But it doesn't really give every team an equal chance at winning and practice :O

STX: wins its own tournament, changes the tournament's format to make it impossible for any other team to win in subsequent years

CJ only has to go 5-0 against Hite, Oz, T1, STX, and one other team to win! There's almost no point in rooting for any team other than T1 or STX.

And T1 has to play the day before their match vs STX, so they don't even get much practice time. Super rigged and unfair, but at least it will probably give us some good games, and that's what matters the most to me.

I don't think MBC and OGN had this problem with individual leagues.

Seriously, STX, WTF?

Basically they have the last place of PL play vs second last, winner of that vs third last, etc. all the way until #1. After which the one who gets to the final game gets to play against STX the very next day after the last game. Basically STX completely rigged the format so that they'd have the best chances to win.

wow, extremely rigged. but by that it will be even more embarrassing for stx to not win it as they will get crushed by whoever they face. skt1 has 2 absolute s-class players and 2 additional strong guys ... and boxer and oov! i really dont see any1 besides jaedong oz or kt flash finger boom beating them in an all-kill series. stx just lacks top-notch players.
