It won't be Impact. TB said 4 of the players are from the original Kespa teams. 3 Kespa players have been announced, so the last player will be Kespa.

Assuming it's a Kespa player, my head tells me out of the list he post it's either Soulkey, Roro or Zest

I would laugh if TB trolled the world and it's JaeDong though, however unlikely or unrealistic that is

How can it be Jaedong if Innovation isn't counted as a Kespa player?

I never said it was. I just said I'd laugh.

Judging by the order of invites(T->Z->P->T->Z->P->T), Soulkey has the highest chance, but it could be SoO, people didn't think about him.

TB trolling with Jaedong in the poll.

Not sure it will be Soulkey because there is no SKT1 players so maybe the team wasn't interested in letting any of their players play in this in order to concentrate on Proleague, but I really hope it is him.

Possibilities for last person:

-Assuming it can't be from Jin Air or SKT
-Has to be Z or P for racial balance
-Can't be at another event
-Probably very high in proleague stats if in proleague
-Possibly has to not be an SC1 player, because TB said there would be a mix and there are already 4 from BW (Inno, Flash, BByong, herO)

That means:

Jaedong -out (HSC)
Soulkey -out (SKT)
PartinG -out (SKT)
Maru -out (Terran)
MKP -out (Terran)
Fantasy -out (SKT+Terran)
TY -out (Terran)

That leaves Impact, Zest, RorO, and Creator.
I'm leaving out Creator because Zest is more popular and more accomplished in Proleague.

+s:
Zest: highest not-already-invited P in SPL, more wins than RorO (by one)
RorO: 3rd highest Z in SPL, below ByuL(not in the poll) and Soulkey (SKT), higher win percentage than Zest
Impact: From non-KeSPA team (in the public eye at least, no one knew Mekia), popular outside of Korea

-s:
Zest: another player from KT (might want to represent more teams), lower win % than RorO, doesn't fit the KeSPA/International player balance
RorO: no one from Samsung yet (not sure if they agreed to this event), less wins than Zest, doesn't fit the KeSPA/International player balance
Impact: arguably less skilled than Zest and RorO

With all that said... IDK ;--;

I think the last player will be Zest. There are several reasons for it:

TB has said that 4 players will be from original Kespa teams.

Out of the players in poll, we can eliminate Jaedong (HSC), Impact (not currently on original Kespa team), Maru (there will not be 4 terrans, I can almost guarantee it), MKP (same as Maru + not original), Creator (not original), TY (terran) and Fantasy (terran).

So we are left with Soulkey, RorO, Zest and PartinG.

There is another post by TB, stating several of Kespa teams declined participation due to Proleague focus. 2 teams that definitely did not decline it are CJ and KT - the only player from those two teams in the list is Zest.

Obviously, there may be a team that did not decline, just didn't had another player in this, which may mean SKT with Soulkey or Parting or Samsung with RorO.

If I would have to bet, I think it is about 50% going to be Zest (already confirmed that KT is participating, not terran), 30% Soulkey (not terran, but not confirmed that SKT is participating), 15% RorO (I think Samsung declined participation on 99%, they have the most to lose as they basically need to win this round in order to have chance to qualify for playoffs) and 5% Parting (I don't really know why, I just strongly believe Parting is not a part of this).

Also last thing - TB said he left the best for last. And what could be better than current GSL champion?! (btw this is another reason why I don't really think it is gonna be Parting - from the already confirmed players, I don't think Parting is toeb considered 'the best'

Disclaimer: There was a rumor that TB said somewhere it is going to be 3T, 3Z and 2P but I was unable to confirm this and I checked every single of his comments here - if someone has link to such comment, pls let me know - in that case it really is Soulkey or RorO.

Wait guys if you think about what we have gathered and think about the fact he said original kespa players well. INnoVation cj herO Flash and Bbyong are original kespa while Life HerO and DRG are non-kespa. Then also the fact that it was rumored to be 3t-3z-2p. Also there is a certain zerg who isn't playing in homestory cup and has been on fire lately. That zerg is HyuN he has never been on kespa he is arguably the best zerg in the world and it would explain his disappearance at homestory cup.
