WTL regular season format for the Qualifiers is a good change in my opinion.

To be fair, PL had way, way more going on in the 4 ish years it had as it had 4 seasons worth of regular season competition every year.

Yea, but Proleague didn't have Garden baby gaming vs Team Rotti.
Quality > Quantity

Roster for qualifier is out, and I would like to see Rotti (on team Basilisk) play against Team Rotti. NV would be playin again under new name (ABYDOS).
|
Surprised Freecs isn't playing, with them picking up Stats returning from the military and having soO and Armani as a competitive trio (plus KeeN and aLive both seem still competing).
|

Yeah no idea why KDF isnt playing.
|
I think all of their players are semi-retired, Keen and Armani barely play in anything outside of GSL qualifer, and TY/Stats hasnt been super active since coming back from military neither.

The owner (or Manager?) of Plat Heroes beat Nakajin in publishing his own Power Rank for the qualifiers:

That's what I get for saying PH would be happy to win a single match in their qualifier 
I do am making one too tho, seems like we're fairly on the same page this time around.

CSO is in pretty big trouble
|
Has HonMonO joined K10 or is he being loaned from PREP?
It's hard to tell if PREP still exists.
EDIT:
I guess it doesn't really matter since they fell at the first hurdle.
