interesting situation at this point, if you want to have an even number of team The problem with the teams as is though is that there is a fairly massive power divide in terms of talent between KT SKT IM MVP and the rest of the proleague. Prime does have Maru and a few very good player so they are probably the 5th best team but those 4 are just far and away outclassing the rest. Edit: I forgot CJ but I have not been keeping up with them so im not sure where they fall. Would they ever consider an NFL style draft and split current teams up?
That's something that only works in fantasy sports. Not real sports.
About Prime being the 5th best team: I don't know--I actually think Prime is the weakest team right now. Yeah, they have Maru and... who else? ByuN and Creator have been mediocre at best since HotS came out, MKP is gone, and there's really no one else but rookies. At least WJS will still have Soulkey and sOs, and Jin Air and CJ have multiple solid players each, if no big stars, like Savage, TRUE, herO, EffOrt, etc...
Edit: Forgot Samsung--they're much like CJ and JA with RorO, Shine, Reality, etc...
Prime and WJS would obviously have to recruit multiple players (please get Genius!), and hopefully they are at least solid players like the ones AZUBU recruit (Center, Vines, RagnaroK) and not like the guys on SouL (HwangSin, SSanaEE) that are often just kind of embarassing to watch.

To be fair HwangSin is more of a coach on that team.
Genius would probably stay in Europe if at all possible with next year's system, so I doubt he will sign with a KeSPA team.

You think we will live to see Acer sign a Protoss player?

Really, the big thing for me is seeing nestea be revived by prologue, constant play and bo1 format when it does come will be perfect for nestea to craft ingenious beautiful games of starcraft, the games I still haven't let go and that I've yet to see other players replicate. Even if it's just one game through out the entire season, which I personally think we'll see a lot more just from sheer quantity. Here's to hoping nestea can gives a glimpse to newer audiences just exactly why he has a legend to his name.

I doubt we'd see much, if any, of Nestea in proleague given they have players that are performing much better than him consistently. It's kind of strange, Nestea was played once in GSTL throughout the entirety of last season. That one time, he all-killed NSH (not exactly what I'd call a super difficult thing to do but still Jjakji). Other than that, not played at all.

maybe he can all kill Prime and then go back into hiding lol, like if Maru is away.

Really great to see Proleague continue, though I'm really hoping for some "foreign" appearance just as EG-TL. Well eg-tl is apparently done. Given that snute stays at cj atm I say there is a small possibility for cj-tl. I guess our only hope would be for axiom-acer to join PL after GSTL. Yeah, that would be great to see! On CJ-TL: I don't think it's going to happen, but since Nazgul mentioned that HerO might play in Proleague, HerO himself said that he's currently at the IM house (in WCS Season Finals' interview), we might have a IM_TL_HerO or something? There's a chance. Nazgul did mention something like HerO might play in proleague which I thought was strange for just him to play, but he could play in some team partnership type of thing?
I really hope so! Though I do not think that Snute is going to have a proleague appearance. After all, he's a foreigner just starting with serious korean training (or am I wrong? Don't know if he was to Korea before).
Imagine a joint league of eSF and KeSPA, with teams like AxiomAcer and EGTL joining - kind of the incarnation of esports pr0n for me.
In reality, I guess it all comes down to WoongjinPrime. Awesome team name anyways

The way Nestea has been playing they'd probably have to field BarbiePrime in all 5 slots for him to do that :/

Well, after all, that gives NesTea 100% win ratio in GSTL. Beat that first. /joking

Actually if I recall, NesTea played in GSTL very rarely even when he was a top player. Not sure what the reason is, maybe he just doesn't like playing games he can't prepare in advance for.
Edit: Quick search on Aligulac confirms this:
NesTea played 3 games total in GSTL in 2011 (all vs. Protoss) and went 1-2
3 games total in 2012 (all vs. Zerg) and went 0-3
So prior to the recent NSH all-kill, NesTea's LIFETIME GSTL record was 1-5, though it's worth noting that the one game he HAD won was a Game 9 win that won IM the finals of the very first GSTL.

Proleague is one the few things I still find interesting in the StarCraft II scene. I am very pleased over this; more-so because the LoL Proleague is finally coming to fruition.

I wonder what FBH is doing there....

yes i think after im finaly cleared the situation with LG they are looking for sponsorship as is prime, not sure for mvp though.
i am not sure what staretale is going to do if GSTL disbands but redbull is a huge deal and may be intressted to join kespa ?
