Sure, the player names are great, but that didn't help EGTL either  | ||

Last season's SKT was the biggest hoard of individual talent ever (w)hoarded and they screwed the pooch. We'll just have to wait and see. | ||

No doubt ST roster is way better than Prime's and MVP's, but I'm not sure we can say they're playoffs contenders yet... I think KT/CJ/JAGW/SKT have that locked, their rosters might be of similar strength but those teams have been working on PL for at least 1 year.. | ||

Hmm ST's roster seems not only to have great players, but also to be balanced (one great player of each race - I don't think any of last year's playoffs teams can say that (I don't think ByuL or Classic can be considered as "great" players, not on the level of Bomber/Life/PartinG at least)), which is important for PL. And Bomber, PartinG and Life played with Startale together, so they probably know each other well and will work well together. I really think ST could surprise people this season. | ||

Well they made the finals, so i don't count that as bad tbh On November 11 2014 22:39 OtherWorld wrote: Hmm ST's roster seems not only to have great players, but also to be balanced (one great player of each race - I don't think any of last year's playoffs teams can say that (I don't think ByuL or Classic can be considered as "great" players, not on the level of Bomber/Life/PartinG at least)), which is important for PL.

For me this is the "real Kespa" vs "former esf kespa" thing. I obviously don't know for sure, but imo it looks like the former esf teams just don't have the same infrastructure (coaches, etc) so they don't do well in this format. Maybe i am completely wrong, but i would be surprised if startale would make playoffs over the established kespa teams. | ||

I don't know, Startale's team house and training environment seems as legit as IM's one (judging from a series of videos Khaldor made some time ago). I don't know about coaches and these kind of things however | ||

They won't be at the bottom of the table for sure. But playoffs contenders? hmmm I don't think so. | ||

I might have been exaggerating to make a point. Not getting into every playoffs with that roster, though, should be a crime. | ||

Plus I think the partnered players won't be always available (I doubt Parting and Bomber are going to miss a foreign event for PL), and live in different places (which affects training). They won't be at the bottom of the table for sure. But playoffs contenders? hmmm I don't think so. 12 month sigbet? | ||
