This might seem to be really easy to predict, and it most likely is. Whereas Woongjin have been on a tear, Samsung appear to be struggling. This can almost certainly be attributed to the Bo7 format, as performing decently requires a lot of good players now. KHAN, OZ (and most likely MBC as well) have gotten the short stick out of this deal, whereas Woongjin seem to be doing extremely well. However, there is still reason for doubt in the Stars fanbase. Really, Woongijn's Terran ACE, is still underwhelming, as far as almost losing to Yellow after a bunker rush and shaky in TvT, as proven by an abrupt loss to Baby. While Free and ZerO/Soulkey still look absurdly strong, this might not be enough to win the Proleague.
As for KHAN, I think the main hope lies in this being a season where Protoss appear to be extraordinarily dominant, rather than any specific player. Great played a rather unconvincing ZvZ, the struggles of JangBi must still haunt KHAN fan nightmares and juni hasn't been even close to proving himself yet. On the other hand, Brave performed astonishingly well against Tyson, and Stork is still one of the best players in the scene. The strong Protoss tradition of KHAN should have been what gives it an edge this year, however, things are looking grim. And as for the Terrans, Sharp, Reality, and Turn?
While I do believe it is possible that they start to perform during the season, all Woongjin Zergs eat Terrans of their current caliber for breakfast.

Back-and-forth TvT with good tankbreaks which lead into a decisive advantage. Not even that long for a TvT so check it out.

Lots of good goon micro, but both players tend to mis-micro reavers. In the end, the winner's economical advantage and superior micro lead to victory.

Back and forth ZvZ with good mutalisk control. Not worth a 100% recommendation, but I'd check it out for the stop-mutalisk control at the end.

Well ideally I'd like to vote for a team and it's a given since I'm following proleague that I'd also want to vote for BW =/

I don't know if it is so in the rest of the world, but it's a tradition here - if you don't really want to answer a question about who wins in a sports match, you answer: "sports wins."
Because a good match is a victory for sport either way. I derived it from that. Thought it to be universal :S

After Jaedong Oz, we have Stork Khan. I'd almost hope than one of the team disbands so they can merge like Hite Entus lol. But 9 teams would make a shitty format T_T

Stork hwaiting obviously.

Stork vs. Zero would be nice, Stork has shown he can play late game against zerg (Stork vs. Jaedong on Matchpoint last year comes to mind) and Zero is just solid overall.

Anyways, I hope Khan can take this.
