oh no where the hell is Yoda on the IM roster ;;
I can't take another retirement. Not to mention he would be very valuable in SPL ><
Only good news seems to be that we can finally bring on the fantasy teams!

Man, SKT lineup without Bisu. He's always been there since I started watching pro Starcraft.

Annuyeong retirement - take 2

Sooo hype!!! Insane how different these rosters look now compared to this time last year...
|
yoda not being there is actually quite detrimental to their roster D:
fpl plz? :D
|
I'm sad to see YoDa go (and Crazy a bit too).
I'm happy someone apparently told the Jin Air player that "Climax" is not a great English name to give yourself. I still like Savage better, but Rogue is okay.
Interesting to see DeParture and SalvatioN on Prime's roster; don't think it was known that those players were on Prime. Though without even AnNyeong, their chances are looking as bleak as ever.

My guess is they moved to WCS NA or EU so they can't stay in Korea for a full year. Plus regular seasons are BO5s there isn't much need for a huge roster, it's not common that players are not even on the roster at all because they are not needed. PL roster != team roster.

oh shit, how did I miss First as well D:
he looked like their best rising player. ffs..

Certainly possible, but Mvp, NesTea and ByuL all play in WCS EU/NA and they are on the IM SPL roster... I'm not optimistic about First and YoDa still being around. Especially sad about First if true; he had such a great run in WCS S2. Also if they've lost First, signing Trap makes a little more sense.

He knocked Sniper out of Code A last sea- oh wait, that match wasn't broadcasted because CJ players were more important than a Code S Champion vs. a Code S semifinalist.

IM's Terran and Zerg lineup don't look very good.

Ah, it just wouldn't be Proleague without a bunch of random name changes!

It's also possible that they moved back to WCS KR, but yeah I have to say the possibility is low. I hope it's just they moved to other teams, or they are just not listed on the roster because they don't need to.

Damn with the mass amount of protoss and least amount of terrans. This PL wont be as fun as i thought it would. Although at least we get to see zvp's alot. That's what we can hope at least that we won't see PvProleague all the time.

Didn't just win back the Ashes, mate, knocked a player or two into retirement, and finally got revenge on the humiliation of the passed four years.
I'm really just hopeful that First and YoDa have moved to different regions with Nestea and Mvp moving back to Korea. Losing those two after already losing Losira would be such a blow. :/

i'm more meaning the fact that he hasn't turned up in person to any event that his teammates have been at. all of prime was there at OSL save byun, etc.

I reckon you'll be better off if we knock Cook off his captaincy. Great player, captaincy doesn't seem to agree with him.
And pshhhht, all our good players were getting old anyway. xD

F*ck, IM's roster doesn't look too comforting, First missing and especially Yoda is really going to hurt
The Protoss line-up is excellent of course, but Yoda would have been integral for IM's success. Now it all rests on Byul for non-P maps.

Yeah he is a rather boring captain too, unimaginative fields etcetc. Only issue would be who gets it instead, i guess the only guy to give it to after Cook imo would be Prior but he might not have long left either xD

Only as good as the two latters imo.
KT trio of Flash/BaBy/Wookie are proven scorers. Samsung, they got RorO/Shine/Solar/Reality who could post like 60% winrate and 4 tosses to figure out a formula.
A lot of things are up in the air but at least IM doesnt look stable in my books with two shaky lines. Even with lotta good tosses, theres no guarantee in mirror MU which is kind of a given in PvProleague

IM should just play their protosses every match with the occasional Mvp appearance.

I think, it is reasonable to make him the captain, if the team agrees on that, he is the most experienced player on prime after all and they needed a new one, since MKP retired.
So, with First and Yoda missing in the roster and moving to Europe ,does that confirm Nestea, Mvp and Byul to move back? Iwth the new qualification process that would make sence for the old gods, but Byul was a WCS NA finalist lat season, I´m not sure, why he would gice up his seed.

Bit harsh there on Swanny I reckon. He is/was a superb spin bowler. Got punished pretty severely in the last three tests, but wasn't necessarily terrible even so.
EDIT: Oh yeah, what I actually came here for:
Our Protoss lineup is looking incredible (which bodes well for PvProleague) and our Zerg lineup is more than solid with the masterful Soulkey and underrated SoO, but our Terran lineup looks wafer thin. Fantasy's progress stalled disappointingly after earlier looking like he'd finally live up to his promise and after that there's nobody who has proven themselves. Hopefully Oov can bring out the warrior we all know is buried deep within Fanta, if so, this could be a great season.
Pretty pumped for this. Aussies smashing the Poms in the cricket, Liverpool top of the league and T1 have got to be red-hot favourites for the win in Proleague.

Unless you have sources that were never on TL, I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
Besides, Happy retired in a very unceremonious manner before HotS (Or at least WCS S1), and First and YoDa have been playing this entire year already. ;o Even if this means they retired, it's hardly a near future haha.

I think, if they pick someone up now, there is quite a delay, until they could use him. The same was the case last year, when SKT picked up PartinG and he was banned until round 4 or something like that.

Yeah, Lizzy #1 KT 4ever
Ryul2 was the one who along with Bang and sC fought their way into the Up and Downs through a brutal last-chance tournament. I remember he and Bang showed some great play there.
Also glad to see Dark have some real success since he seems to have struggled since his days on Slayers.

To be fair, even BW fans wouldn't recognize half these players due to the sheer number of B- teamers who have risen up to make a name for themselves in SC2, replacing many better - known BW players who have retired.

There are just too many :o To name just a few (sorted by team):
Zest and Stats are proven to be beasts from last season (and Stats from BW), Myungsik did well in an IEM qualifier, TY is the well-known Baby and pretty good. Hitman was one of Mr. Bitter's favorite players.
Trend, emotion, Solar, and Burning all play a lot in online cups like ZOTAC, go4sc2, etc., and are quite good. Reality and Roro are probably the best performers from last season. Turn and Kop weren't heavy hitters, but did get some surprisingly strong wins.
Classic is the favorite of many of us, since he was mediocre as Terran and then switched to Protoss and proceeded to annihilate the competition, including PvP master Rain. Bravo had a really good record last season on Woongjin Stars, but didn't get sent out much As for SKT zergs, be careful with those, haha. They went on surprisingly strong, albeit short, streaks last season, though. (Parting, Rain, and Soulkey should be obvious favorites.)
If you don't know about the CJ players, just know that they have acquired the one of the greatest coaches in SC history. They pretty much all have the potential to become beasts. herO, Sora, Bbyong, Bunny, Effort, and Hydra have all proven success in one way or another in the past.
Jin Air GW has some powerhouses. sOs and Maru most obviously, while Cure, Rogue, and Coca have also shown strong performances in the past though less consistently. Pigbaby has a hilarious name and is also pretty good.
IM, MVP, and PRIME should all be rather familiar to you. If you don't know Trap, he's dang good. UngNim is an up and comer. Jila (Kal) is a BW legend but we haven't seen much recent SC2 from him at all. MVP doesn't have any KeSPA players from last season. I don't know much about the newer PRIME guys...Kassia is a former WJS rookie and Departure has been around for a long time, for what those are worth.

HoeJJa is KT's Hyuk equivalent. Only now Hyuk's a pure coach.

So, would it make sense for him to be the captain of KT? :o

Well, there is no MMA, Taeja, Innovation, Bomber. Besides Flash there is only Maru. For what other race are four from the best six or seven players missing?

Salvation joined Startale after NSHS tho. I don't think he ever really retired but switched to Prime and people thought he retired.
If he did "retire" it was for like a month and I think that's just taking a break...

Sure he retired for a month (a whole month ya'll, what a retirement!) and now joined Prime.
Google translate says "Cancellation of registration" for the translation. Take it how you want, to me it sounds like he just left ST/eSF.
Note: I do know how shitty google translate can be hahaha

2-1 with 3rd game where Flash scouted proxy 1 or 2 rax (do not remember exactly) and then failing to counter it with his own 1 base very awful allin.

TaeJa would not be the best Terran in Proleague format. Preparing stuff doesn't seem to be his thing.

Too many Protoss, too few Terrans.

these may not be retirements, players may have commitments we're unaware of and some of those names are B-teamers who might just be practice partner material that the coaches don't think are ready yet

Even last season the practice partner B-teamers were on the rosters and occasionally sent out. But maybe with this season being Bo5s ( D: ) teams don't feel the need to have such extensive lineups anymore.

I'm also exciting of what silly/dumb/stupid and equally funny map they'll throw in there.

SKT1 and CJ are looking strong.

So... more PvProleague? Seems like most teams are, once again, heavily favouring protoss lineups.

Yeah I mean are you really gonna use barracks, cacia, motive, penguin, crazy, juni,Bang, or Tible in a Bo5? I highly highly doubt that

I remember some b-teamers like motive being spotted in the WCS AM qualifiers before, maybe puzzle wanted to join them.

these may not be retirements, players may have commitments we're unaware of and some of those names are B-teamers who might just be practice partner material that the coaches don't think are ready yet Even last season the practice partner B-teamers were on the rosters and occasionally sent out. But maybe with this season being Bo5s ( D: ) teams don't feel the need to have such extensive lineups anymore. Yeah I mean are you really gonna use barracks, cacia, motive, penguin, crazy, juni,Bang, or Tible in a Bo5? I highly highly doubt that
I wouldn't be so opposed to playing Bang, personally. Even Tible if MVP feels confident. But in general there's just no room to develop rookies' experience like you would see in Bo9 matches.

Without the rule for a player of every race per matches, proleague this season would have been 80% of PvP at the minimum. :/
80% is a bit too high, because regardless of meta/balance there are some Z/T players that are going to be fielded 100% of the time, but yeah it's definitely gonna be completely Protoss dominated

I'd love to see some other teams to just support specific teams in Proleague. Especially StarTale and Axiom-Acer ofc.

Never followed BW. New names to discover Any recommendations on who to watch out for? There are just too many :o To name just a few (sorted by team): Zest and Stats are proven to be beasts from last season (and Stats from BW), Myungsik did well in an IEM qualifier, TY is the well-known Baby and pretty good. Hitman was one of Mr. Bitter's favorite players. Trend, emotion, Solar, and Burning all play a lot in online cups like ZOTAC, go4sc2, etc., and are quite good. Reality and Roro are probably the best performers from last season. Turn and Kop weren't heavy hitters, but did get some surprisingly strong wins. Classic is the favorite of many of us, since he was mediocre as Terran and then switched to Protoss and proceeded to annihilate the competition, including PvP master Rain. Bravo had a really good record last season on Woongjin Stars, but didn't get sent out much As for SKT zergs, be careful with those, haha. They went on surprisingly strong, albeit short, streaks last season, though. (Parting, Rain, and Soulkey should be obvious favorites.) If you don't know about the CJ players, just know that they have acquired the one of the greatest coaches in SC history. They pretty much all have the potential to become beasts. herO, Sora, Bbyong, Bunny, Effort, and Hydra have all proven success in one way or another in the past. Jin Air GW has some powerhouses. sOs and Maru most obviously, while Cure, Rogue, and Coca have also shown strong performances in the past though less consistently. Pigbaby has a hilarious name and is also pretty good. IM, MVP, and PRIME should all be rather familiar to you. If you don't know Trap, he's dang good. UngNim is an up and comer. Jila (Kal) is a BW legend but we haven't seen much recent SC2 from him at all. MVP doesn't have any KeSPA players from last season. I don't know much about the newer PRIME guys...Kassia is a former WJS rookie and Departure has been around for a long time, for what those are worth. Wow thanks for this.You have truly informed me. My pleasure! Please forgive me if my predictions turn out badly, because Proleague results can be dang hard to get right It's true You have a 100% predictable match up with players when you know someone is going to win this fairly easy... And suddenly ! Arkanoid :p One of the most memorable for me: http://aligulac.com/results/search/?search=&after=&before=&players=Turn
Innovation&event=&bestof=all&offline=both&game=all&op=SearchXD I watched so many PL games and i have like no memory don't remember this one. A good Arkanoid game was the fantasy comeback in like... Round2 ? I just meant memorable in terms of how surprising the result was as for a Fantasy game, his widow mines vs BCs definitely won't be forgotten :D dat game of fantasy v flash on Akilon might be the 2nd best PL'13 game for me, only behind Bisu v Shine on Belshir theres another FvF where fanta actually beat BC with mines, cant remember the map though
That game was glorious. I don't mind Flash losing when you get to see stuff like that. Also, it was on Neo Planet S.
English VOD: + Show Spoiler +
This Proleague will be great. Really looking forward to it.

It looks like it's SKT's tournament to lose... gogo best KT!

The format is 4 bo1 and then an ace match? Every race has to be send out too right?

Kal already Prime captain?

why cant you take another retirement? this game is SOOOO over saturated with 'pros'
the way sc2 blew up 3 years ago obviously wasn't sustainable. we are seeing sc:bw all over again, which is good imo.
now we just need to fix the game. IE units should not be dying in a split second.

wait till your favorite quits and you can stop that oversaturated bs of an excuse. It looks like Korean wc3 actually (hope no-one tries to rig the game to get more viewers)

how is it a bs of an excuse? its true. the game was new and fresh and very popular but it wasnt meant to stay at that size(as is clearly evident now). and all my favourite players have LONG quit from the BW days and never returned so i dont know what that point was suppose to mean.
im not saying sc2 is dead its just starting to reach more of its equilibrium standpoint.
its like any professional sport, there is only enough room for so many 'pros' and the best of the best survive.

Nestea is a logical choice for Captain, as he is the oldest and can act as a mentor figure to the rest of the players.

That Prime roster... kinda sad.

These are my ratings for the teams, in the correct order.
CJ - 10
SKT - 8.5
Jin Air - 8
KT - 7.5
IM - 7
Samsung - 4
MVP - 3
Prime - 2
I wish pigs could fly so pigbaby could make pigs rain.

It's not very far-fetched if you look at the form of their players right now

I guess the Proleague absences are due to where the players have decided to play for WCS.
I'm very sad Bong has changed his name to Hush.

I think CJ is very balanced skill-wise across all races, and their players are doing quite strong. SKT is powerful, but has a weak terran lineup.
Double cheeseburgers.

Damn... I'm SO excited for this season of ProLeague. The team roster and all matchups are going to be SICK!!
|
Hoping Prime and their band of lesser knowns can come out of nowhere and surprise people.

Seen high predictions for Green Wings but all I see is sOs and Maru with a Pigbaby sidekick. Might be bottom half material if you ask me.

Lol. At least we'll have fewer similar sounding names to worry about (that Bong Bbyong BBoongBBoong trio)

SKT, KT and CJ seem to me like a clear top 3. The gap between them and the rest seems pretty massive.
|
First actually notified IM that he was leaving a long time ago. It was never announced, so I thought maybe he changed his mind and went back, but this tells me that he did most likely leave.

Don't underestimate the Jin Air Zergs, I've liked what I've seen from TRUE and Savage (Rogue, whatever). I think Jin Air is a pretty good bet especially given the Bo5 format.
I think people are underestimating MVP though. DRG has shown signs of coming into top form again, and KeeN and Super are perennially overlooked players.
Also something tells me that this Proleague will be known as the Season of Swag. Swagger >>> all!

That's how I feel. JAGW looks way stronger. KT may do well but on paper that look terrible. I bet MVP is a surprising top team and IM can be solid with Trap on their roster.

For me, Flash/Ty/Stats/Zest is better than sOs/Maru/Pigbaby/(Cure?).
Still, SKT and CJ should be clear favorites.

TRUE and Savage are better than Stats and pretty equal with Zest IMO. Both zergs have been in Code S recently and are really good in team leagues especially. CoCa also looking really good lately. Terminator is really good too.
KT has bad zergs, decent protosses. Flash and TY are really strong though.
Plus Maru and sOs are better than anyone on KT so..

First .. ..
Puzzle .. ..
Crazy-Hydra .. ..
But KassiA still going strong. Hah.

To add to this well constructed reply. If you are playing KT then you know what their lineup is. And after the first round it gets easier to send out counter lineups if you are a good coach. Think down the line instead of what's in front of you.

completely agree with the last sentence. flash is the only one on KT who has a decent shot against maru and sos.

Meh, why is it that the most boring race has the most players? I keep wanting to give SC2 another chance, but literally half of the games involving protoss I simply turn off watching out of random irritation with the design build up over the years.

Zest, TY & Stats all are potentially better than sos&maru. Just depends on form and practice environment. Chances are that KT is very well practiced given that they had many months to prepare for proleague.

You can also say that TRUE/Savage/CoCa/Pigbaby/Terminator are potentially better than Flash/TY/Zest. BUT Maru and sOs being better than all of KT is just a raw fact based on recent performances.
I think it's obvious that JinAir has the stronger roster.

Are you sure you follow SC2? sOs and Maru win GSLs and are equal to Zest, TY and Stats? LOL. Maru is the Flash of SC2 right now. Maybe all that race complaining is muddying up the logical thought process. SKT fans are the only ones with brains these days.

Crazy and Puzzle have (presumably) retired, whereas Yoda and First have (presumably) decided to play in Europe for WCS EU, thus possibly explaining their absence from IM's roster.

We don't know yet, but it appears that they're at least confident that they'll be able to make their schedules work with Proleague.

CJ terrans are freaking good indeed.

MVP does for sure. And if your standard is for Bbyong and Bunny to be decent Terrans then I think Fantasy+Bravo and Cure+Maru could also qualify.

I'm just saying that you shouldn't overrate Maru and sOs based on recent performances, given that they spent a lot of time flying around the world having their play styles exposed instead of practicing, while players like Flash and TY didn't have a chance to showcase their skills.
Maru does well for three months after three years of middling performances and people think he's better than Flash?

Are you sure about First still on IM and just moving to WCS EU? I'm under the impression that he left because he wasn't salaried and the team wasn't willing to pay for his expenses to WCS EU. Hirai wouldn't entirely leave a player out of a roster just because the player has to miss a few matches.
I could be wrong though, but that's what he was telling other teams when he was shopping around.

Well there's nothing confirmed but there are reports for first and yoda being spotted on the European ladder and since they're not in the roster it suggests that they're going to EU. For the sake of clarity here's the post that I heard it from

I don't have any concrete sources so if you have any I'd love to see them. I just can't (don't want to) believe that Yoda and First would both leave IM, as good as they are, with no other team interested in picking them up, to play WCS EU. It's all guesses to some extent at this point.

He's like 15 and he's wiping the floor right now. His middling performances came with WOL. He is a top HoTS terran and Flash is still trying to be single player on Brutal.

You might. And it's possible that he will do better than Maru. That doesn't necessarily make him a better player though, or he would have been the best player in the world after the last season of Proleague. As evidence by his post-PL results, that really was not the casew. Flash isn't bad, but nothing I've seen from him suggests that he'd even been capable of winning OSL or reaching multiple semi-finals against the kind of opposition Maru faced.
Edit: Oh and he's been doing really well for 5-6 months, not 3.

Well, he obviously is. The few times I've seen Flash play in recent times he did not look good at all...
Maru on the other hand has been one of the best (if not the best) terrans for pretty much all of HotS.

Best part of proleague: Flash fans get to pretend he's good at the game.

I want IM to win so badly, but after losing Yoda and First I feel like i'm hoping for a boxer to become heavyweight champion after he amputated both arms.
That being said, IM fighting!

Well last proleague flash just had to scout a prepared protoss allin and defend them barely and then a-move over a clueless Protoss, so it looked like he is good. This year will be a bit tougher, atleast I hope so.

Haha, that's a bit of an understatement of Flash's skill. He may not be a top 5 Terran right now, but he's certainly still extremely good, especially in Proleague.
Top 10 Terran imo, 15 at absolute worst.

But he didn't win anything. Winning games means nothing. Particularly if its only in PL. Winning tournaments deserves respect. Even Jaedong has now won something.

Put any other player in Flash' position on that awful KT team and tell me they win PL. They dont even have a zerg player worth mentioning

Well that's just wrong. Winning tournaments isn't all that matters. I'd go as far as to say that winning games in impressive fashion (a la mid-2013 Innovation) is more impressive and does more for a player's reputation than "just" winning tournaments. Flash deserves respect for his Proleague performance, no doubt.

Actually this is just wrong. If you look at the tournaments, they attended, Maru has not a single tournament showing outside of WCS. Flash and sOs both attendet the WCS tournaments as well as IEM NY and DH Bucharest.
This is the starting point, so as you can see, Flash and sOs are the ones travelling more than Maru. Now lets look at the differences, that came from their performances:
-Both Maru and sOs outperform Flash during WCS Korea, which is the only reason, why they attend Season finals/Blizzcon
-At DH, sOs makes top 6, qualifying for DH Winter. Flash loses to DIMAGA, YugiOh and MMA and gets eliminated in the group stages. So again, the only reason, that sOs attends the tourney and Flash does´nt, is because sOs outperformed Flash.
- Finally, sOs received a seed for RB Battlegrounds, because he won Blizzcon, a tournament, Flash could´nt qualify for.
So as you see, Flash had the same chance to show his talent as sOs did and even more than Maru. They just out-performed him at nearly every single tournament, they attended (The exception being WCS Kor season 2, were sOs got knocked out early, but WCS Korea S3, IEM and DH did go in sOs favor)

This sentence confuses me. If I would say " Maru does well for three months after three years of middling performances and people think he's better than Inca/RainBOw?", people would laugh at me, but both, Inca and RainBOw are actually former GSL finalists, while Flash did´nt make the quarterfinal once. So, speaking in facts again: Maru is doing well since June. That is six months, not three. In this time, he made 5 WCS Korea/WCS Season Finals/Blizzcon/GSL HotSixcup semifinals.Flash could´nt make a WCS/GSL semi-final in his entire SC2 career. The "three years of middling performances" were, when he was 13, 14 and close to 15. Do you expect a 13-yo to dominate the scene? Probably not. The question should´nt be "people think Maru is better Flash?", it should be "People doubt that?".

If you have to play each race once IM has a pretty bad lineup, will be tough for them :/

I think byul could hold up and in the preparation heavy proleague it could be of benefit to MVP. Nestea and the new terran are probably going to be over their head for a while.

Look I don't care about the lineups but I am very disappointed on these name changes. All the new names are a downgrade from the previous ones except maybe Armani.
But man will I miss Bong
At least I hope there are some WACKY name changes during the season.

Hm yeah maybe there is hope, but in general all the ex esf teams look rather mediocre (with prime totally fucked at this point)
It feels like most of the top players are on "real kespa teams" or foreign teams these days Oo

Personally I don't think Jin Air will win it all but they are a KeSPA team so they will probably be pretty proleague focused so I think they will still do fairly well with their roster.

not really bad, but it may be hard to break the playoffs now.
Byul really isn't getting enough credit and we still don't quite know how good UngNim is. I'd wager Mvp is probably still good in TvT (yay for mech!) and to snipe every now and then too.

If you joined TL in late 2011 obviously you wouldn't understand that you don't write off Flash after one slump and that he is considerably more talented than Maru. Obviously he wasn't as good for the second half of 2013 and he might still be worse now, but I don't see why Maru would be favored to do better than Flash in proleague. It lasts for half a year which is more than enough time for Flash to regain form. Of course, all pending on whether he stays motivated.

Protoss so imba they physically damage the opposing player. D:
His neck problems apparently make certain in game actions hard to perform, and those actions appear mainly in TvP, iirc.

no indicator? how about maru severely outperforming flash for the last half year?

Yeah he should have beat San if it werent for that clutch storm on Belshir or Mvp kind of throwing away the Derelict Watcher game

I wish narrowly losing to San made up for not so narrowly losing to foreigners all the time.
But hmm, I'll take what hope I can get, would be nice if he improved his TvP form.

I think Jin Air is a pretty solid top 3 team but SKT or CJ are the favorite to win proleague.
Also Flash is nowhere near Maru's level, don't kid yourselves. His mechanics are almost as good as Maru's but his game sense and ability to prepare for opponents is bottom-tier among progamers.

First off join date is a silly thing to pull out.
Secondly, when has Flash shown that he is, "considerably more talented than Maru" at SC2? I'll go ahead and tell you, pretty much never. Maru has outplayed Flash through all of HotS, and there is virtually no evidence to say that Flash is better than Maru at this game. Maybe because of your early join date (such hipster, so impress) you are still living in Brood War.

I was trying to create an SPL power rank for my blog last couple of hours, but really it is just too hard at the moment. I just realized, that we have not seen many of these players for even several months and there's really not enough data to go by. I wonder how they do the FPL rankings, cause it's really gonna be hard. I guess there will be a lot of bargain deals, but also a lot of overrated players.

Didn't GuMiho lose to Scarlett with 11-11 vs 3 hatch before pool? It was in an online tournament (RSL maybe?) so I think many people don't know about it. Poor Happy.

I think Jin Air is a pretty solid top 3 team but SKT or CJ are the favorite to win proleague. Also Flash is nowhere near Maru's level, don't kid yourselves. His mechanics are almost as good as Maru's but his game sense and ability to prepare for opponents is bottom-tier among progamers.
Pretending there's a massive skill gap between Maru and Flash is silly considering it came down to the last game the last time they met in Code S; plus they had the same record against the other players (1-2 vs PartinG, 2-1 vs LosirA).

it wasn't that hard to dig up, i remember ammanas being a fairly loud maru hater, so when i saw him rank maru as first -> search post history for maru, dig up dirt, ez.
the other guy who claimed he played protoss -> search post history for play and zerg

In what world is join date not an indicator of experience? Please tell me if I'm wrong, but chances are you weren't around for Flash's dominance in Brood War and therefore can't see Flash's talent in proper context.

How is brood war dominance "proper context" for a debate about who is a better SC2 player?

Yes. One of the easier decisions.
Again, yes. Classic is actually like really seriously good, imo better than any of the 'IM protosses'.
Parting is debatable, problem is I dunno who could be argued to take his spot. DRG I am not sure, last time I saw him was Code S and in there he seeemed like he is returning to his former glory days. Hydra is currently one of the top10 players in SPL for sure, maybe I am govong too much credit to KR open qualifiers, but those tournaments are hard as hell, the hardest online events in the world without a doubt and CJ players (herO and Hydra in particular) are dominating them last month or two.

Classic looked questionable against Creator in preseason, although that's not much of a metric. He probably deserves that spot. Agreed on CJ_herO seeing as he's been on a tear recently but we'll see
Hydra has been doing well in qualifiers and Parting should probably be in that position given recent play. DRG is a bit of a mystery.

I keep hearing about how good Classic is, but I haven't really seen much of note tbh. He's kind of like Stats where people swear up and down he's good but all I remember from the two are some good SPL performances. Is there anything else I'm missing?
|
Parting didn't do super hot last season but he only joined when HotS started and he clearly needed a little time to get used to hots. Hydra had some rounds where he did sick (round 2 I'm thinking, also great vP record overall), but other rounds where he was mediocre. Both herO and sOs were awesome last season, sOs was more so but herO has the momentum going for him. Classic I still belieeeveeee in and hope he won't crash after such a great last half season.
E: yeah Classic's PL performance was by far his best so far in SC2 and other tournaments haven't been so kind to him. You just gotta belieeeeveeee

The thing is, as opposed to Stats, Classic has only switched to P for HotS and he was performing as one of the best. He was definitely Top 3 Protoss in Proleague for HotS, and I believe (although I am not 100% sure as I am only going with my memory) when you take only HotS Proleague matches, he actually has better stats then both Rain and sOs. Not sure whether JangBi was better or not though.
As for Stats - I dunno, I personally think Zest is better P on KT and I was not really impressed by Stats that much tbh. Classic was definitely more impressive, that's for sure.

He went 16-4 in Proleague after changing races
|
I'd rank based on how well they would do in Proleague, how clutch he is & how often does he play ace, not utterly skill-wise.
In that department Flash is the undisputed n1 player. Also look at hydra, he fucked up badly in like 2 or 3 rounds and still posted a top 10 results cuz hes extremely streaky. Meanwhile SoulKey being the arguably best skillwise ranked 14th or something, same for PartinG
So yeah my list would be 1. Flash 2. herO 3. Rain 4. sOs. 5. hydra 6. Maru 7. Classic 8. SoulKey 9. RorO 10. DRG
Well bring FPL on already. Cant wait to go full CJ with captain Fantasy yet again

We don't know yet what's up with them, Liquipedia shouldn't say they left yet (And doesn't? As far as I can see). There's a pretty good chance they might've left though (In my opinion), but we'll see.

The person who made those edits used this Proleague thread as a source for YoDa and First leaving IM. Right now the Liquipedia people are debating as to whether or not this thread is an accurate enough source.
None of his edits have been okayed yet. So nothing is official. It is still a pending status.

SKT, KT and CJ seem to me like a clear top 3. The gap between them and the rest seems pretty massive. JinAir >>>>>> KT That's how I feel. JAGW looks way stronger. KT may do well but on paper that look terrible. For me, Flash/Ty/Stats/Zest is better than sOs/Maru/Pigbaby/(Cure?). Still, SKT and CJ should be clear favorites. TRUE and Savage are better than Stats and pretty equal with Zest IMO. Both zergs have been in Code S recently and are really good in team leagues especially. CoCa also looking really good lately. Terminator is really good too. KT has bad zergs, decent protosses. Flash and TY are really strong though. Plus Maru and sOs are better than anyone on KT so... To add to this well constructed reply. If you are playing KT then you know what their lineup is. And after the first round it gets easier to send out counter lineups if you are a good coach. Think down the line instead of what's in front of you.
It's sad to say you are right. Also i don't sOs is that strong. I don't know why but i feel i plays so sneeky that we will be figured out by the PL monster. But KT lineup is way too predictable. Maru isn't the kind of player to prepare a lot (i think ?) so i don't know if he will do that well in PL but he is still a VERY GOOD player. Stats and Zest are good but... we don't know their current form. The pre-season would not have been taken seriously by the power house and i think that all of PL veteran team didn't show full strenght/playstyle/builds.
While looking at the rosters i don't see Jin air over CJ. They have good players that know have a BEAST of a coach for PL. People tends to forget that PL involves skill of the player but it involes too : "Choices of coach", "Snipers", "Crazy map abuse" etc...
You just don't win PL with the most talented player. Coach decision and snipers are a really important part to it.

Didn't just win back the Ashes, mate, knocked a player or two into retirement, and finally got revenge on the humiliation of the passed four years. I'm really just hopeful that First and YoDa have moved to different regions with Nestea and Mvp moving back to Korea. Losing those two after already losing Losira would be such a blow. :/ Yeah you knocked our really good players into retirement...oh wait Can you knock Cook into retirement then we might have a nice squad going into the future ashes xD Bit harsh there on Swanny I reckon. He is/was a superb spin bowler. Got punished pretty severely in the last three tests, but wasn't necessarily terrible even so. EDIT: Oh yeah, what I actually came here for: Our Protoss lineup is looking incredible (which bodes well for PvProleague) and our Zerg lineup is more than solid with the masterful Soulkey and underrated SoO, but our Terran lineup looks wafer thin. Fantasy's progress stalled disappointingly after earlier looking like he'd finally live up to his promise and after that there's nobody who has proven themselves. Hopefully Oov can bring out the warrior we all know is buried deep within Fanta, if so, this could be a great season. Pretty pumped for this. Aussies smashing the Poms in the cricket, Liverpool top of the league and T1 have got to be red-hot favourites for the win in Proleague.
fantasy was sent out as ace on a protoss map last time. what are people talking about? are people expecting him to perform without playing matches?

I wrote a post about that on page 15. Grumbels did´nt respond to it, probably because he could´nt, without admitting, that Maru is, in fact better than Flash.
Short summary: Maru made 5 WCS/GSL semi-fianls in the last 6 months, Flash was´nt able to make a single WCS/GSL quarterfinal in his entire career. Flash attendet more international tournaments than Maru in this period, but each time he did, he got eliminated in the groupstages by DRG/Curious/YugiOh/DIMAGA/MMA.
I can understand fanboyism to a certain extend, I am a GoOdy fanboy myself, but even I am not publicly stating, that he would be better than Maru, because that is simply not true.

That is weirdly really accurate BR lol.
But stats doesn't concern me more than Zest... he's still too .. how to put this right. Inconsistent would be little general but i have nothing else
I'm always concerned that Zest / Wookie, or even sometime Stats because of all of his name changes

No no no you are doing it wrong. It's a Hype thread (well... kind of since we don't have a PL thread yet). You have to say that X is better than X.
(Also Parting/Innovation/Life is kind of a hard group to pass...)
Also mister fanboy, everybody should love the SupplyBlock terran

I do. I am just not delusional enough to say, he would objectively better than Maru. I´m still cheering for him against Maru though.

Realistically he only did better than Flash in two tournaments. One of them was by margin of a Bo3, another was during a slump by Flash. So was the IEM where Flash did terribly. Maru has been mediocre for his entire career except for recently. And his very recent results aren't even that good, with losses to Jaedong, Soulkey, hero, Dark. It's just that he qualified for the season finals, so he was given more chances to play and to qualify for blizzcon etc.
Do you also think that Jaedong is better than all other zerg players by virtue of his foreign tournament successes? If you have the opportunity to play a lot of games you are going to accrue more results.
If Flash can recover his form (and there is no reason why he shouldn't) then there is no reason for him to do worse in proleague than Maru.

Yes, he was during the last half year, but why is that a guarantee for him doing better in proleague? Flash is the more talented player and will do better given the chance to recover from his slump. And proleague caters to his strengths anyway.

^ ah, but that's not what you have been saying, you started this by saying that flash is outright better than maru, we're here to show you how delusional that perception is.
Maru does well for three months after three years of middling performances and people think he's better than Flash?
I'm just saying that you shouldn't overrate Maru and sOs based on recent performances
I'd easily bet for Flash to do better this season than Maru.
you don't write off Flash after one slump and that he is considerably more talented than Maru
i think flash may do better than maru in PL, but flash is not better than maru, nor is he guaranteed to do better as you've been saying. being a better player does not guarantee you a better record in PL.
plus you follow up with this ridiculous question lol
Why does Flash have so many anti-fans?

I can understand fanboyism to a certain extend, I am a GoOdy fanboy myself, but even I am not publicly stating, that he would be better than Maru, because that is simply not true. Realistically he only did better than Flash in two tournaments. One of them was by margin of a Bo3, another was during a slump by Flash. So was the IEM where Flash did terribly. Maru has been mediocre for his entire career except for recently. And his very recent results aren't even that good, with losses to Jaedong, Soulkey, hero, Dark. It's just that he qualified for the season finals, so he was given more chances to play and to qualify for blizzcon etc. Do you also think that Jaedong is better than all other zerg players by virtue of his foreign tournament successes? If you have the opportunity to play a lot of games you are going to accrue more results. If Flash can recover his form (and there is no reason why he shouldn't) then there is no reason for him to do worse in proleague than Maru.
By the margin of a bo3? I´m not sure, which tournament you mean (WCS Kor season 2 or 3) but Maru made it at least 2 rounds further than Flash in both of them. And Flash was never in a slump, he constantly finished at the same place in all three seasons. You say Flash did terribly at IEM, but guess what, doing terribly does´nt make you better than people who don´t. "Mediocre for his entire career"? Yes, because he was a kid. Most good chess players start playing the game, when they are 6 or something like that. Would you say, someone, who reaches his GM-title with an age of 20 had "14 years of mediocre results"? Probably not. He "just qualified for the season finals"? Yes, he qualified because he did BETTER. And I adressed the "more chances to play" earlier, it simply is´nt true, as Flash did travel to foreign tournaments, while Maru did´nt.
Personally I don´t think Jaedong is better than all other zergs out there (a top zerg, but not the top zerg), but ,other than Maru, Jaedongs successes were´nt in the hardest tournament in the world.
Which former form are you talking about? The season 3 ro16 form? The season 2 ro16 form? The season 1 ro16 form? It´s not that Flash ever got as high as Maru currently is in this game.

I doubt many will say Maru will do better than Flash in PROLEAGUE. Proleague is Flash's forte. I am sure he will be the best terran again.
But Maru will almost definitely have a better season than Flash (in individual leagues). And I dont think you can say Flash is more talented than Maru (Maru is young).

Flash being the more talented player is an assumption/opinion (and a wrong one as well in my eyes.)
Flash being in a slump is an assumption/opinion as well.
In this whole discussion you are leaning on assumptions/opinions and do´nt bring any evidence.
Neglect me in the following points:
The swedish protoss player MilkEA is the best player in the world. He is generally more talented than every single human being on this planet at starcraft. He is just in a slump since 2012-10-22, after he was already in a slump until 2012-10-20, so the only day he was´nt in a slump is 2012-10-21, where he won EU Zotac cup with a 3-0 in the finals. Whichever argument you may bring, I can say, that he is the more talented play, but is just currently in a slump. Every evidence you bring is just recently. Sounds wrong, does´nt it? But that is exactly the way you are discussing this right now.

Which tournament did Flash win? Hell, could you point me to a premier besides that one MLG (which Maru to my memory did not attend) where Flash made the Ro8 and/or looked like a legit potential winner? Further, what has Flash shown in SC2 to make you think he is more talented than Maru at this game?

I believe that Flash is the fundamentally better player, that doesn't mean he is always going to have better form than Maru. What did I say that was inconsistent? Maru's play improved, and he did better (and played better) than Flash for a period of a few months, although some of that is because he had more chances to show his skill, however it's highly questionable whether he can maintain peak form and I also believe that if Flash returns to peak ability he will be better than Maru and that this will be evidenced by him doing better in PL than Maru.
And Flash having anti-fans is obvious when you look at many posts in this thread. If you have the time to go through my post history to check for quotes then surely you can check for anti-Flash comments in this thread.

Anybody else find it amusing that Prime's trouble is that they have too many B-teamers and not enough aces, and so they randomly pick up 3 more B-teamers?

your belief that flash is the fundamentally better player is the one that's delusional, that's what, and the clear amount of opposition against that belief in this thread should suggest that to you. of course, if you do end up right, you're welcome to crow about it and be insufferable all you want, but for now, that's everyone else's job.

Being a fundamentally better player, one would think, should at least have led to comparable performances at any given point in HotS. This hasn't been the case at all, despite Flash having had 9 months and foreign tournaments at his disposal.

DRG and Curious would probably be the favorite against Maru too; they're among the best ZvT in the world so I don't see how losing them is proof of anything. His second loss against MMA in their bo3 was simply a build order loss. Flash had a bad Dreamhack, yes, but a bad showing happens to everyone; Maru didn't do well at the Season 2 Finals either, while skill-wise he was a championship contender. I'm fairly sure Flash would have made it at least once to the RO8 in Code S had he not systematically be placed into groups of death each time.

Korea only had groups of death. Its your inherent bias that says Flash was put in hard groups while Maru got easy groups. There were NO easy groups in Korea.

He looked like he was going to eventually reach that level in early to mid 2013 (see proleague). Obviously he didn't perform up to expectations in late 2013 and was sidetracked, but is one slump enough to doubt him?

Flash had the best record in Proleague, and considering his status on KT Rolster, pretty much every player in Korea was prepping to snipe him. There's no reason to solely focus on individual leagues.
Besides, at the very beginning of HotS, he was probably the best player in the world next to Life. Remember that silver he got at MLG?

Flash will do better than maru IF he has peak form? I would bet that Flash will be around 50% winrate at the end of proleague (if he isn't lucky and only plays the more "mediocre" players, which is unlikely in the current bo5 format).
Flash is the better player in BW but that doesn't mean he is the better player in any game you can think of, why would you even think that?
Maru is CLEARLY the more talented sc2 player and if he doesn't slump he will be the best terran in the upcoming proleague.
Just look at Flash games in sc2, he has mediocre micro and if you play terran in sc2 you need good micro to be a championship contender, all Flash has is good macro, that isn't enough.

Right. Because Flash-Bogus-Life-PartinG is totally comparable to Maru-Sleep-Bbyong-Dream.
Now, Maru and Flash were in the same group once, and Maru came out on top 2-1. That day, he played better than Flash. And that was a group of death. But that was pretty much the best thing Maru's ever done in his entire career, so it's not exactly fair to compare literally every season Flash plays in WCS to Maru's miracle run.

Exactly why are you stupidly agressive when I never said anything about Maru having "easy groups"? The fact the competition is tough doesn't mean there aren't harder groups than others. See for instance the polls here or here.

DRG and Curious would probably be the favorite against Maru too; they're among the best ZvT in the world so I don't see how losing them is proof of anything. His second loss against MMA in their bo3 was simply a build order loss. Flash had a bad Dreamhack, yes, but a bad showing happens to everyone; Maru didn't do well at the Season 2 Finals either, while skill-wise he was a championship contender. I'm fairly sure Flash would have made it at least once to the RO8 in Code S had he not systematically be placed into groups of death each time.
Losing to them is´nt proof of anything, I was just posting a conmplete list. And making it to the ro8 once would still be far away from Marus accomplishments, so even if that would have hypothetically happened, it would´nt have fundamentally disproved my general point either.

Obviously he didn't perform up to expectations in late 2013 and was sidetracked, but is one slump enough to doubt him?
This is a different game. Should I now list Fatal1tys tournament wins to prove, that he is better than Flash at Brood war?

He was better than others in one day. Doesnt make him the best player in the world next to Life

can't flash fans employ a wait and see policy, or is really necessary to argue his condition.
right now, maru's results speak louder than flash's...Bringing up his BW achievements mean nothing here and now.

Maru's a good player, and nobody is saying otherwise. But aside from his miracle run, he's not racking up any huge achievements, and in the context of the whole of 2013, he hasn't really shown himself to be a super dominant player that's leagues ahead of Flash, as many here seem to be painting the portrait as.

exactly how many all-kills does flash have in SC2?
2 all-kills, one of EG-TL, another of CJ compared to Maru's 1 all-kill, a 6-0 of StarTale -> hardly something you split either way.
exactly how many 4-0's does flash have in SC2?
1
haha this guy. you should check stats before spouting stuff off.

In February, he won the SUPER STACKED Asia Starcraft League, racking up an amazing hitlist of Yoyo, F91, MacSed, Sen, and finishing off his dominant mega-run of the ages by going 3-2 against BboongBbooong. So Maru's win was a miracle run BUT Flash's MLG run is proof of his ability. Right.
That was just to counter the ridiculous claim that Flash was never good at "any part of HotS". I think the real proof of his skill is his Proleague performance. He hasn't had a particular hit in individual leagues, but literally nobody can name a single player that's had overall harder groups than he has, except maybe PartinG.

Maru does well for three months after three years of middling performances and people think he's better than Flash? I'm just saying that you shouldn't overrate Maru and sOs based on recent performances I'd easily bet for Flash to do better this season than Maru. you don't write off Flash after one slump and that he is considerably more talented than Maru i think flash may do better than maru in PL, but flash is not better than maru, nor is he guaranteed to do better as you've been saying. being a better player does not guarantee you a better record in PL. plus you follow up with this ridiculous question lol Why does Flash have so many anti-fans? I believe that Flash is the fundamentally better player, that doesn't mean he is always going to have better form than Maru. What did I say that was inconsistent? Maru's play improved, and he did better (and played better) than Flash for a period of a few months, although some of that is because he had more chances to show his skill, however it's highly questionable whether he can maintain peak form and I also believe that if Flash returns to peak ability he will be better than Maru and that this will be evidenced by him doing better in PL than Maru. And Flash having anti-fans is obvious when you look at many posts in this thread. If you have the time to go through my post history to check for quotes then surely you can check for anti-Flash comments in this thread. If 99% of the posts say, that Maru>Flash and 1% say Flash>Maru, than 99% of the forum users are Flash anti-fans. There is no way, that the 1% are Flash fanboys, right? There is no anti-fanboyism here, we are just defending the obvious truth. If opterown and Zealously, Startale and Prime are standing united against your opinion, that is a high indicator, that your opinion is just irrational. i actually don't dislike zealously fyi, we're good mates, just sometimes his fandom can get irritating (although he'll say the same of me lol) I did´nt want to imply you disliking Zealously at all, sorry if that came over wrong. I was just saying, that your fandom very rarely came to the same conclusion, so if you two agree, it is probably about something rational. eh we probably agree more often than not except st vs. prime haha ;p
Pssht, your ruining my point, just play along.

His "dozen" all-kills are exactly 2. And 4-0ing your group is not the same as winning your tournament, otherwise, I would have to go count Marus 4-0s as well and I am to lazy for that. And mentioning Maru´s "weak" victory at Asia Starcraft League, when Flash lost to every other korean attending Asian indoor games as well as a taiwanese player, is not that good of a point either.

Ok let's bet, i bet that maru will have a better record in proleague than flash at the end of the season + better individual results aswell.
We could bet about a 2 months signature or something.

ITS A DUMB ARGUMENT!
no really, it is, because the bottom line is SC2 community values Individual league performances to teamleague performances and flash while being very solid lacks a title while maru at least has one.

2 all-kills, one of EG-TL, another of CJ compared to Maru's 1 all-kill, a 6-0 of StarTale -> hardly something you split either way.

1
haha this guy. you should check stats before spouting stuff off.
Oops, he only went 4-0 once. Confused the memory of when he went 4-1 in the Ro32 in Season 3, and 2-0 (when they were Bo1) in OSL. So he crushed three groups, and proceeded to be placed in the hardest group in the Ro16 every time. I'm not saying any of those players that beat him were worse by any means, that's just the reason why he's a Ro16 hero this year.
Really, that's not any indication at all of his skill. Going 44-21 in Proleague is. By comparison, Bogus when he was the strongest he's ever been in his career went 43-20, Rain went 36-22, and sOs went 32-15. It's especially striking because Bogus, Rain, and sOs were all strong players on a really strong team, whereas Flash was the target of every sniper -- Zest and Stats were never really seen as big as threats as he was.

Flash may not be the best player , but he will still probably get the most win award or be close for it just , because of his experience and hard work . It would be a big shocker if he is out of top 3 or 5 in Proleague . He has been there from like what ever since he joined Proleague ? Maru could probably get top 10 .
Guys here are mistaken the format of the leagues , one is a 2-3 day tournament the other is an year long , there is a difference .

You mean Maru is a planning genius who knows that Flash likes greedy openings and abused it for a victory?

meh, the last few pages of this thread are really stupid.
On one side there are people claiming Maru is CLEARLY better player than Flash, while others claim otherwise. One side is completely disregarding Marus achievments in individual leagues, while the other is disregarding Flashs achievments in Proleague.
The fact is, Maru is coming into the SPL season as a more accomplished player in HotS. On the other hand, everybody knows how hard working Flash really is. And to be honest, there is not that much difference between the two of them as far as how good they are when you are watching their games. It is hardly surprising though, it is a long known fact, that on a good day anyone from the Korean Top30 can beat anyone else and make it look easy.
As far as Proleague goes, the format plays into Flashes strength, but imo same can be said about Maru. In the end it will all come down to how well the teams manage to prepare their players, as Proleague is about more then just a skill of the player...

What? Flash has such mediocre micro it kinda hurts me everytime i see him vs banelings, maru on the other hand plays pure bio vs a maxed toss and doesn't look all that bad with it. You can't really look at the proleague stats cause a lot of strong players didn't even play in that league. well i guess we will see soon enough what the skilllevels really are!

Flash is good but uninspiring... I feel like he is good from hard work, but lacks any meaningful amount of talent. Like, I remember maru's 3-way circular surround on rain(?) that absolutely wrecked the toss army. A beautiful engagement and exceptional micro in almost every game. Flash is good, but I've yet to see a moment from flash that makes me think- 'hooooooly shit he's good at this game'

Same thought about Flash. Flash was/is a god in BW. But those days are over.
I have seen more magnificent control, beautiful engagements and multitasking from Maru.
I stick with Maru untill Flash proves me wrong.

Maru has better micro indeed, but you cannot be the most or the second most successful TvZ player, as Flash was during several months, on the back of "mediocre micro".

Then watch his games back then and tell me he has good splitting, cause he hasn't. Widow mines and some stutter step, thats all he pretty much did and his splitting is/was mediocre, his macro is just pretty good.

He wasn't taking it seriously. He's waiting to be worth 3 points in FPL so everyone will waste their time picking Rain, Parting, and Soulkey and then he will carry SKT as the ace

Flash did not impress at IEM New York. He failed to advance from the group stages, and in TvP, he and State looked about the same level. Now I'm a huge fan of State, and it was really awesome to see State fight so well against Flash, but that series does not help Flash's reputation.

Ok then 2 months ago with the addition of the recent showmatch, maybe he proves me (and other people) wrong, but i don't see him winning nearly as much as he did in the last proleague.

Flash also looked even against PartinG in their last RO16 match, so State = PartinG? Yes indeed, he didn't advance; one map short. But did you check Curious' ZvT? As for DRG, he's a monster too in ZvT. It's not like he failed against average Zergs.

Kinda surprising how KT only listed 3 players of each race o.O and no puzzle
|
STILL WAITING FOR FPL TL, i make most of my yearly income around this time of year
|
guys Flash is terrible outside proleague give it up pls
|
Considering last year's record, and the current state of the metagame, i don't know why would anyone discuss the skill of non-protoss players in proleague.
I don't even think any of them will show up.
Edit: Oh shit i forgot, do we have any info on maps?
|
I'd be willing to bet on both Ty and Flash outclassing Maru this season, and I pretty much always root against Flash. Anyway KT > Jin Air for me, because KT toss > Wings toss and KT terran > Wings terran. Jin Air has better zergs but KT zergs were still very valuable snipers in last season.

Look, all I'm saying is I want to see Barbie.Prime train hard and come out to snipe the hell out of someone. And then perform some kind of ceremony with the adorable fluff ball. (Bonus points if she snipes Maru.)

It's not MVP you're gonna be looking out for, the reason no one has seen anything of UngNim is because MVP has been personally training him in a hyperbolic chamber on the top of a Tibetan monastery for a year and will be unleashed upon proleague. Proleague does not know that they have released a monster.

So... any news on the line-ups for the first several matches?

How can you bet on TY if we haven't really seen anything from him? I mean i am a Baby fan myself, but HOW? ^^
Well i bet Maru will be the best terran this season now that Innovation doesn't play in Proleague anymore.

You guys should realize that the reason why those players are not listed as rosters means that they are B-teamers and are not good enough to be send out. This have always been the case in past in PL events where if you suck, the coaches just won't put you on. So yeah those guys are probably training hard to make it into A-team. Unless SC2 don't have enough players to form two strings of players anymore, then the downsizing probably cut them off.

But what about last season, where a lot of those B-teamers were on the roster and got sent out occasionally? It's not like they should never ever ever get sent out and even if they weren't, they were still listed on the roster.

Could have to do with the change to bo5. Not going to be seeing a lot of B teamers in the Bo5 format at least while the team is still in contention for the playoffs imo

I still think it's kind of limiting to the more unknown players who could use some experience in the booth, but it is what it is. Also, wonder how this will affect FPL without all those players who would usually be the 1-pointers to round out some people's rosters and, I'm guessing, a more even point distribution instead.

Now that I've looked at it, there are SEVERAL players who are FAR bellow than Yoda + First in terms of result and gameplay in the IM's lineup so it wouldn't make sense to push those two out.
I guess they really retired.

Where are all the Terrans?

Now that I've looked at it, there are SEVERAL meats that are FAR bellow than Chicken in terms of availability and tastiness in the world's meat supply so it wouldn't make sense to push that one out.
I guess it really retired.
+ Show Spoiler +imo, just because they're not on the Proleague roster doesn't necessarily mean they're not playing Starcraft. Many people have already speculated that they could be playing in WCS EU which would physically prohibit them from playing in Proleague. We just don't know until an official announcement.
