Also Prime turning into ace is actually fitting even though it's really sad. Their number of fans is ridiculously disproportionate to how good they are.


Thanks to MarineKing... Not only that he had so many fans, when he was at his peak, Prime was also the best Team, mainly because he raped everyone. Lot of People are still fans because of that days, but if they don't get some charismatic players or a bit of success back, the amount of fans will rapidly decrease. So it seem like it will be rough season for them, incredibly sad that Maru left, even with him it would've been very difficult. I really hope some kind of miracle happens and saves the day for them...

...In my dreamworld MKP comes back in his old shape and rape everyone^^

Will be a fun proleague for sure, but i think these rankings are kinda random at this point, we don't really know much about most of the players that didn't play since last proleague and with the bo5 format a team needs only 2-3 strong players and can still do great (even if it is obviously better if you have more ).


These aren't "rankings" for teams, it's a grade for the off season moves and has nothing to do with rankings. A team could have an A+ offseason before the season starts and still finish in the bottom half of the standings, that's just the nature of the game. So really you're looking at these offseason grades the complete wrong way if you think this is somehow a ranking or prediction of where teams will finish.
There are things known, and things unknown, and in-between are the doors.

Well apparently someone on reddit said MKP is coming back (cited Byun's stream). I don't know the validity of it, but it's not the most surprising move given how irrelevant (not that I expected him to jump straight to the top) he's been in LoL.

Now that my favorite and one of the oldest teams -Woongjin Stars- has abandoned, I hope the best for CJ in the upcoming season.
After all I'm a Zerg player, and how can you not like a team that has forged exciting players like Savior, Kwanro, Oversky and Effort...

PS. My heart will also be with Kal.Prime. May he carry the team as Jaedong once did Lecaf aka Hwaseung Oz.

If someone can break the SKT Zerg tradition, it should be Soulkey. If he can't, I will pack my stuff, fly to Korea and do a femen style topless protest during a live proleague match. I have decent manboobs.

Oh please, let it be true!
Though Prime still need good toss if they want to compete in PvProleague.
And atm it looks kind of grim for them.

Maru, sOs, and Soulkey moving teams really shifts the power spectrum of the teams around. I still think Incredibly Miracle will do well as they are one of my favorite teams.

Btw, what happened to Legend after he left Startale and formed Team Epik? Any news on player signings?

EG-TL would have done really well if Proleague started a few months back, but now there are too many problems.. Taeja is having wrist issues again so he's out. EG let aLive, Oz, and Revival go. HerO is training with the IM house now and has fallen into a slight slump.

That would be one of the best things that could happen to starcraft...

But he would have a hard time to fullfill the expectations. He would have to change a lot to become one of the top players again, but even if he would never manage to do that, i would just be happy to see him back

MKP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are totally right and it will give a bit of confidence to Prime in proleague just a bit.

Sometimes you need a break, step back and get your mind off things. When Jaedong didn´t play the game around the last turn of the year, he returned to start his rise to power. Then again, he´s Jaedong and mindset has always been MKP´s weakness.

Looking forward to see how the terrans do this season! Obv big names like Flash and Fantasy though I wish fanta started kicking ass he is so entertaining!
My personal favourite to watch is TY hope he has a great season always liked him but so much unrealised potential :/
Then players like Bunny and BravO hope they develop their talents! Wish it was bo7 or 9 to few spots for rookies and talents T_T
And then theres the solid terrans like reality and Byong etc.
Hope ByuN makes a comeback!
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.
