I sadly have to agree with your rating of Prime. I don´t think there is any hope for them not finishing last place.
They have absolutely nothing up their sleeve to compensate for the departure of Maru. Creator will be able to take some games here and there. But you can´t win pro league with only one player.
I don´t really see the reasoning behind skipping the last GSTL, when they even had Maru still on their roster to pull something off and participating now in pro league, which runs a much worse format for a small squad like theirs, without him and probably any hope of success. D:
I hope they win at least one match per round. But even that will be very hard for them.
They were the best team in the world in the first third of 2012. And now there is nothing left but nice memories D:

Samsung Electronics was willing to pay the big bucks to acquire team MVP's championship winning LoL squads and put them under the GALAXY banner, but their SC2 squad was not lucky enough to receive some of that dirty smartphone money.

Is there a possibility to see the final rosters in one place, not just the changes? Would make rating the teams so much easier. Anyway, I think that the the "new" teams are being understimated too much. Yes, the players on the original KeSPA teams may have shown good results and had good record, but essentially against each other - it doesn't really say how they will do against the new teams, as there hasn't been that much room for direct comparision in individual leagues. IM, in particular, has a much better roster than "meh", just counting the players I can remebmer of the top of my head.

I actually expect CJ to do better than expected. Coach Park can do wonders. He turned around EGTL and that was with only half a season.

The official rosters are not released but for now these are the most actual rosters.

poor prime. Not a single champion class player on their team.

So if ByuN and Creator did poor this year means that they suddenly are bad players?
Creator said that it takes him a lot of time to become good. ByuN had the same situation in WoL as he has it now, he was doing bad then he came back and crushed everyone. I do not see any reason to forget about them especially when they are in GSL.

Considering almost every other team has at least 1 championship level player (with the exception of MVP perhaps) Prime is in trouble. Also, when has ByuN ever "crushed everyone"? he had that one lucky season, and then he dropped out of the group stages next season.

So you did not watch GSTL then.

What has ByuN done in GSTL?

Besides bringing out his puppy I mean, that was cute.

Nice! But they are not the most actual, as Losira is still listed as teamless Anyway, SKT T1 roster si really insane, but the new teams don't look that bad, if you are reminded of all of their players that never really shone in GSL, but did pretty well in GSTL ...

KT's zerg lineup of hitmaN and Action is so sad. They really need to get Kangho or steal hyvaa or someone.

Looking forward to see how Jin Air and SKT1 perform this year. However I feel pretty sad for Prime, at least with Maru, they could have been carry by him, but now... Creator or Kal as their ace player? Ouch, this won't be pretty.

hitmaN's potential is very high he is about to become a top zerg just needs some luck.

The team needs 3 wins to win a game Prime has Creator, GooJila and ByuN so they are not as bad as you think.

If Creator, Kal and Byun were to play Sora, Hydra and Effort in that order, would you bet your life on Prime ever making it? The Bo5 format lets all the teams with S-class players field their aces in the first three matches and win straight up against weaker team a lot of the time. Would you bet on Prime against a line-up of sOs, Maru and Cure/Climax/Pigbaby? Or Parting/Rain/Soulkey? The problem for Prime is that if the match-ups in any match they play in are bad for them, they might straight up lose before even having time to play Creator/Kal/Byun, which isn't a comfortable spot to be in.

I just wanted to say that Prime has chances but I wrote somewhere that Prime will be something like 2 wins 1 loss for their trio, there will be no such order that 3 ace players will meet 3 ace players it will be like 2 or 1 of them meets ace and others meet regulars like Bunny or Bong where they have chances which will lead to a sitatuon like I said 2 wins 1 loss for their trio or vice versa and their overall win will depend on their trio to win all matches or on (if 2 wins 1 loss) their regular (Eins, Splendid) required 1 win.
