These groups are so small now that progaming teams are 15-ish players instead of 25-ish players.

102 players in the MST prelims isn't small. That makes 134 players registered for the MSL (TLPD lists 155 active players) which isn't bad at all.
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

Used to be twice as many players per group, teams just let a lot of players go lately plus now there's 10 teams instead of 12.

Most of those players were filler that didn't get past the prelims (nor even got their prelims games televised). Obviously the playerbase shrunk somewhat, but its not that big of a detriment.

As it is, even with ~140 players we don't get to follow that many of them. I wish dreamleague was televised like the high school league is.

Wow, Tossgirl has such a tough group

Ssak, who beat Flash
Grape, who plays regularly in PL/WL and recently started winning
Kwanro, who has to be a pain to play against

K, put Pusan back on MBC, I don't think you can play prelims without at least sort of being on a team but I could be wrong.

Also who are the two retirements? fOrGG and ???

nal_ra (as part of Oldboy?)


Also, is Pusan not part of ACE? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=132156

I searched Pusan and apparently he's been on the bench as a coach for MBC? So he didn't go to ACE, I guess he's just doing prelims since he still has his license.

I'm so excited to see so many new faces with blank records in the pro scene.

Also, Pusan is back!? *drools*

On a site note: Only one player making it through each group? Well then, I gotta feel sorry for Ssak, Grape and Kwanro. See you next MSL!

Always smile~

Er, Mong isn't Ssak. Ssak made it to the Ro16 last time so he is seeded into MST.

I was worried about that too. So I decided to check the Courage applicant numbers for recent months. It seems that after hitting rock bottom in the December tournament, the number of Courage applicants has been steadily rising since January. Eventually I think it will return to the level of early-mid 2010. BW is slowly regaining the interest it lost in the early season.

Bah, Mind is in a group with two tosses and the very same zerg who knocked him out in a past MSL if I remember correctly..

Also it would seem Shy is in the MST. Intriguing. He looks promising. And also Gogo PARALYZE

you can thank mr. savior for the decrease in number of teams and number of players. he took out people like luxury and hwasin, players who make proleague that much more exciting. the more that I think about it, the more that it becomes clear that savior rolled the korean e-sports industry back like 3 years. ffs its terrible

+ Show Spoiler +

Group 1
Tough group. By.Sun/Crazy-Hydra is 50/50. By.Sun gets played a lot for SKT, so he have to be talented. For that reason I think he can improve his PvZ enough to win this.

Group 2
Skyhigh. I believe!

Group 3
Brave obv.

Group 4
I think Frotoss will beat Lomo, but it's a open game.

Group 5
Horang2 obv.

Group 6
Turn, Turn, Turn. Saint is not bad, but Turn have good TvZ.

Group 7
I want to believe in Tossgirl, but Grape would own her. I think Grape makes it, although you can't count out Kwanro.

Group 8
Movie is finding his form in PvT, so I don't think Reality will be any problem.

Group 9
Flying vs FBH. It can be a close one, but I'm rooting for FBH. Flying will prolly make it since he's younger and hungrier.

Group 10
ggaemo.

Group 11
n.die_soo will barely beat Iris. Actually this is a very close one.

Group 12
JangBi is a bit too Much for grandpa Toss.

Group 13
Cute Angel have the highest potential, but don't count out M18M.

Group 14
The noob group. Ruby will probably beat Alone/Princess.

Group 15
Shuttle obv.

Group 16
hero lol. Anytime might be able to stop him, but I doubt it.

Group 17
Bogus in the prelims is bogus. Poor Hoejja/Nbs. Rock wouldn't make it in any group.

Group 18
Interesting group with Pure, Yellow and (T)Poor Man's Flash. I think Yellow still got it and will make it, but you never know about Pure. He's got high potential if he finds confidence.

Group 19
Best lost to Orion last MST, so hero[join] have a good shot. If Best doesn't make it out of this he's definately over as a A-rank player. I think he'll make it though.

Group 20
Hyun obv.

Group 21
Mind lol. Poor Reach.

Group 22
Hyuk will awesome his way past this group, although BByong can be problematic.

Group 23
Tyson lol

Group 24
Modesty for sure

Group 25
Baby lol

Group 26
Hiya lol. Poor Pusan.
