Amazing coverage. I'm really looking forward to future issues. The most interesting part is Code A, because it has many firsts and unknowns, especially with the new maps.

I know it's all opinion, but how can you honestly say that after beating TSL and winning the ZOTAC Team Cup, ST is ranked under TSL (who I'll repeat was beaten by ST)

Great writeup guys. I hope as the seasons go on you guys start to make Power Ranks for sc2 players like you do the BW ones. I know it's still early, but maybe after this GSL? ^ ^

Great writeup. I loved the link to the comparison between your predictions and those of the GSL analysts. The group analysis sounded pretty spot on. The Map analysis was much appreciated. Wonder how zergs are going to evolve to the space being given to Toss. Zerg seems ironically enough strongest in the midgame (ironic because of what bliz said regarding zerg midgame), yet these large maps will make it difficult for mass roach pressure to be effective. I wonder how spread out bases will do with a return to mass muta?

Of course though. Most of you should be ashamed for not putting MC as your favorite

Gj writers.

The problem is that there's just no consistent pool of games to take results from. The BW PR works because those guys play ten, twenty games a month. But if you lose in the GSL, you play maybe two games a month.

There's also not parity in who plays who. There are players probably in the PR top ten who are in Code B and Code A. So if your PR top ten is pulled from the same 32 people every month, what's the point?

Because TSL is more likely to perform better in this GSL. I agree that ST would have a small edge in a team match.

Typo's in the Prediction for Maka and MvpDog he lost to TheBest and Nestea not Polt and Fruitdealer, and Nestea was Season 2 Champ not Season 3.
