if the "unholy alliance" is in top 3 this season ( which will be the easiest for them to actually do something ) i will be surprised

Except that "foreign team" will not use foreign player all that much.
And of course "biggest korean league in the world" minus (almost) all the best koreans.

Their korean line-up is by far strong enough to take down any team, especially in all-kill rounds, Stephano is just icing on the cake (and one of the three best players in the team), Jaedong and Sea also could become really good and they're showing potential I think.

Minus a lot of the top Koreans, but they do have the best Protoss and the best Terran and one of the best Zergs in Stephano.

Super-pumped for this, but to be honest I'll only watch it if there's an English stream (live for preference, I'm in Australia so time-zone is good for me). I've been spoiled by GSL, so quality english commentary is pretty much a must.

Worst-case scenario I'd be pretty happy if they just sent all the replays to somebody like Husky (although better would be getting Apollo + somebody to cast them). I'd prefer delayed commentary to bad commentary.

The rest of the KT team shouldn't effect the rank since Flash will just all-kill every other team ;P

Will they change game in-between the rounds or will they play wol during the whole league? I mean, it will probably hard to get it hyped up if it's wol games 3 months after hots was released.

On paper they're legit. So it all depends on if they can get it together when it's crunch time.

Taeja should be the best Terran in Proleague. Stephano is a question mark, but the few times he's played in Gom events he's more than held his own (even if you think they were screwing around a bit last wknd he still made them earn the win; which is more than anyone else on the World Team can say).

I think Hero and JYP are above average as far as Proleague Protosses are concerned too (Hero being a contender for 2nd best behind Rain).

So like the power ranking says; a strong core.... on paper.

Coaching could trip them up; do we even know who it's going to be? Preparation will be another big hurdle for them, since the Proleague map pool is very different from GSL / MLG / IPL / Ladder with half the map being Kespa maps.

Especially with travel they may just end up falling behind when it comes to playing on those maps. But again that'll depend no the quality of their coaching (and practice regime too).

Also, they still have the problem eSF players had at the WCG prelims - lots of information available for opponents; little information about opponents.

STX should be in top 4 imo. They have so many young progamers with potential xD I can easily see STX doing better than WJS ( and maybe Samsung Khan)

Proleague isn't a winners league format like GSTL, so one player can only do so much. I like proleague style better though i think, especially for fantasy (not the SKT terran). The fantasy league for GSTL was to dependant on getting a couple super good players and the other didn't really matter as much. This format gets rid of the proverbial "I have DongRaeGu, and therefore I am better than you since you don't have DongRaeGu".

Golden Wings or Chemical Brotherhood to win.
Unholy Alliance to runner-ups.
Sponsorless Squad to make it to playoffs and find sponsor.

PL is going to be vicious, I am looking forward to a bit more KeSPA face time for players. I am woefully ill equipped to do some of this fantasy stuff. I am glad to see the unholy alliance in number one, I think that depth will be the biggest issue facing the other PL teams.
