*=Fighterforum gave a wrong starting area (it listed two players at 11 o'clock) so I'm not 100% certain those are the starting positions that truly occurred in the game.
Awsome hasu, I am glad you will cover this again. I moved your round one thread to the articles section. I put it under MBC because there are fewer articles, but I will work on getting a seperate proleague section now that the networks are combining on it.
Agreed with FireBlast!, I think you don't get nearly enough praise for the work you do here, between your threads and the ridiculous amount of games you load on the tracker. Thanks a ton man, you're awesome!
After looking through google images for the Map Fire map, I realized that the first syllable is actualy a "Baem" sound meaning that it is probably Vampire. So, it might be Vampire or it might be something else, I don't know yet.

he is allowed, but i think he wouldnt play. he has to train a lot of to play in proleague. have you seen Pj to play in the last season? no, same reason.
btw, i updated my progaming overview with the new SKY infos: here
cuz pj is a publicity stunt. draco's whiteboyness was only part of the reason he got accepted, not everything. and either him or someone related to the team said he might play in this proleague season since sparkyz lack good toss players.

Are you being sarcastic or do you honestly think a team would waste a draft pick(2 per year)on someone that doesn't have potential at all.

If recruiting the player raised interest in the team, and therefore the sponsor, the pick would not be a waste even if the player played no games.
not a draft pick, but if you mean the automatic progamer promotion yes. its not like the lineup oov/midas/boxer/canata/gorush/kingdom/rainbow/rumble is in desperate need of immediate help, and the entire point of the chinese progamers was to try to develop/stimulate the chinese progaming market. pj/lx being stuck in courage league for months does not do that.

Well that is a bit irrelevant since the purpose of the team is still simply advertisement. Successful play of course helps that but when someone has good marketing potential, he might have an edge over other players when the exact potential isn't obvious. On the other hand, perhaps the team is run such that marketing has no influence over player selection, even in a special case such as this. If that's the case, and the coach actually saw some potential in Draco that wasn't seen in other testers, you may be perfectly right.
what are the odds that on september 10th PJ will play Draco? that would be fucking pimp
edit: I think the reason OGN Sparkyz took draco is cause they saw the next foreigner to dominate korean pro-gaming. I think that OGN was smart to take draco, and I think that a team would aslo be smart to take suncow as long as they force him to practice alot.
A bit of new blood never hurts, and I expect that we will see alot of draco in the proleague after the one that is about to start. It will take draco a few months to get used to his P v KR instead of his P v Cho-gosu

he was questioning pj/lx being marketing tools alone, not draco.

No I was referring to the pick up of draco I already knew that pj/lx were just marketing tools. Also the coach himself said that he seen potential in Draco.
Stay on Topic Please. You guys gotta remember, by the end, the whole thread will be gazillions of pages long as is. And well.. 90% of it won't have to do with PL... this is PL thread.

then what were you questioning? i said "draco's whiteboyness was only part of the reason he got accepted, not everything" and that someone had said he might play for them in proleague this season.
Sorry for the humongous bump with absolutely no updates, but I'm just wondering if anybody is covering this like I had been doing, because I can fill in all of the blanks if I absolutely need to.
