Not having a zerg in the current meta is really tough and they got a pretty weak terran. Having 3 protoss players also reduces the amount of strategy variation for the other teams. I think team Soma or Team Flash will win it all. Team Soma has the 2 top zergs (assuming Effort returns to form). Team Flash has the potential for 3 zergs or Flash as Terran every time they play. And Action and Soulkey are monsters right now. | ||

The pros notion is, that with changes to Ringing Bloom, maps are extremely good for protoss. Best can of course go into full chokemode but in paper of raw skill and regarding recent spongames, Snow and Best can carry the team just fine. Action has been in slump for some time and Free has serious wrist-issues. I think Zero has kind of sleeper team as Stork can be quite deadly in pvp with Rush being the zerg-killer. | ||

cuz their team in that order makes the only decent phrase from the lot of them. jk... sort of. Not sure what sound reason I to pick my favorite would even make sense to me. All seem good and Light's doesnt have any votes yet ><. How can they lose if they have a Gogogaget LIGHT-MINI-HERO-PIANO? | ||

Is there is a 1.0 --> SE change log for Ringing bloom somewhere? The previous thread only listed changes for Third World I think https://tl.net/forum/brood-war/566731-astl-season-2-map?page=2 Can't see a difference in 1.2 vs SE from just images https://910map.tistory.com/69 https://namu.wiki/w/링잉 블룸(스타크래프트) Maybe mineral / gas amounts? | ||

You can also phrase "Queen stork, rush me so" Will there be an additional draft to fill up teams like s1? I could argue for any team to win it but its bit sad only JYJ Soma and Sorry are in there as new(er)comers Gogo team queen~~~ | ||

Unfortunately, without the 2v2 and 3v3 sections, there's little reason to pick up more obscure players. | ||

Best: He is a great player but has the same matchup coverage as Snow, both are PvT especialists, both have similar PvZ and Snow has a better PvP. And while he is the prime player to take down Flash, we don't know how he's going to perform in a live setting. For all we know, he might choke and there goes your anti-Flash weapon. JyJ: He is still improving. I think currently he is right below the 4 best Terrans so I still think he's a good player but i feel like Sharp would have been a better pick even if he hasn't had the best games lately. Sharp is still very solid in all matchups and has more experience than JyJ. Shuttle: I think this was the least intelligent pick of them all. It still hasn't been a year since Shuttle came out of the military and he has terrible winrates in all matchups (which feels even worse when you see that he plays more matches than most other players. You would think that playing that many games would make him a little bit better.). I also think that Shuttle being in a team with stronger Protosses doesn't benefit much (compared to a player that's still improving, like YSC for example) from it. Shuttle has been playing for a while in ASL and kind of stagnated, so he might not have much room for improvement. Now, the team is composed of 3 Protosses and 1 Terran, which makes things really difficult if they face a team with Protoss killers, which all other teams do. | ||

I think it may be hard to judge balance on maps from STPL because we consistently have C/B rank players vs A/S rank players. I believe for some time, there were maps that were really hard for Terran, but since FlaSh is such a god, the map statistics were wonky. | ||
