I think STX and CJ gonna win the first rounds. But either of them will loose against Oz, which in turn will be smashed by SKT... So in the end it seems to be of no use anyhow... But I hope for nice games.
Thanks for the interesting article.

IMO the final standings speaks strongly on how much influence depth ( which most people define as the number of historically competent players) contributes for a team to perform well in the league.

SKT and OZ got where they are not just because of star players but because the rest of the team managed to pull through enough wins for them to edge out over other "deep" teams.

The biggest factor for me would be how well each team snipes players which given starcraft's nature would give less stellar players (Hyuk, Frozean, etc.) a chance to take down big names. Something they normally woudn't accomplish in a BOX.

That's assuming some of the players get their best matchup. Sure, fantasy has beastly vP, but his vZ, for example, isn't that brilliant. Plus, none of them is really unbeatable. What if Bisu finds himself facing by.hero?

STX and CJ look to have the best teams, I don't see Oz advancing out of semis, that roster is scary bad. I don't think they have another 50%+ player.

Oz is in trouble...
Bo7. unless they can clone JD
CJ has the lineup and so does STX i think. SKT1 always has that shitty zerg to take account for...

This is all about STX. They have a deep roster and lots of budding players. Now's the time.

Excellent writeup, much appreciated.

KHAN - 4 / 26.75 / 2104

Found this a bit scary as an Oz fan, i always knew the other players were bad but didn't realize they were horrid,except BackHo. I'd really love to see Killer / some other new guy play well so they could give Hiya the boot.

Can't see a way for Oz to win if it's CJ or STX whom they face, however somehow they always seem to beat hite, which very well could beat atleast CJ..

SKT has the deepest and sharpest line up. No team can match with them theorically.Followed by STX and CJ.

T1 just needs to win 1 Bo7. Just one and then they have a pretty decent shot at taking this

Why isn't Justin on the Hite roster? He's on the Hite vs CJ lineup.
