I really like that they're having six rounds this time around, and the all-kill format in rounds 2 and 5 should allow for some great shows. I both like and dislike the policy of having to reveal players 1-6 before the game. I love that teams will be rewarded for preparing specific strategies for specific players, but I dislike (or maybe that's not quite the word) what it'll do for the foreign team. No foreign team I know of has the potential to prepare as extensively and in-depth for a single match-up as the KeSPA teams, which'll put said team at a huge disadvantage.
That said, this is Proleague - they'll have to learn to prepare themselves.
they don't mention the exact timing, but I think it's probably the day-before reveal, not the 2 minutes before match reveal

Cool to see it returning, will be really fun to see how EG does.

With the return of winner's league, will there be winner's league playoffs as well?

Certainly possible - I think you've watched a lot more proleague than I have so I'm sure you have a better idea, but still - knowing the players the opposing team will be sending out the day before the match will still reward the team with the better preparation, which I love.

One year? Damn that's amazing. Will be interesting to see which foreign team is willig to dedicate itself for that huge amount of time. I also think this makes it kinda unlikely that EG is the foreign team, since their players participate in so many international tournaments(pretty much same for Liquid). Maybe Boss just trolled us and it really is FXO.

I really think it could be Liquid, they do have a much stronger lineup.

I was thinking the same thing. There's no way EG would commit to a whole year, but if it's not FXO then who can it be?

I don't think it's confirmed that EG will be playing yet.

Well, the Airforce ACE team is gone.
Really wondering who the foreign team is. And sad there are no ESF teams.
|
I can't really think of any foreign team that would fit in there and wouldn't get stomped. But maybe they mean ESF as well..

Wait no GOM teams? And what about Team 8? I guess they find it logical that their own team participates in their own league, they say 8 teams participate and they list 7, so you can assume 100% that T8 will be participating. Still weird that they don't mention it explicitly lol. Eight teams will be participating, including KT Rolster, Samsung Khan, SK Telecom T1, CJ Entus, STX Soul, Woongjin Stars, KeSPA Team Eight Oh welp, i stand corrected. Somehow that got cut off by my screen. nah I forgot to list it
damnit wax, stop making me look bad :<

I don't think TL has enough members that can commit to an entire year, not to mention they need minimum 6 players.
Hero, Sea, Taeja, Zenio, TLO? Ret?
I mean, maybe...but probably not.
I think it has to be EG.
Puma, JYP, Byul, HuK, Idra? Thorzain?
Unless FXOboss was trolling us and it is FXO KR, and that somehow means " foreign "

|
|
sea, hero, taeja, byul, puma, jyp, zenio would be a very interesting team.
|
EG-Liquid partnership confirmed ^
|
Btw, to prove its not FXO, I will let you know we play on the 8th in the GSTL final, so unless leenock can run reallllllly fast.........
|
interesting very interesting

If it's going to be a year-long season, maybe they could have kicked things off in January and given the players December off or something to relax.
Hopefully there's an in-built break somewhere. But a mid-season or even suspension of standing orders early on still isn't quite the same (past games/upcoming matches are still on your mind, for example).
