Maybe, but not very often. soO, Innovation and Classic should all play most of the time. But I'm sure that the first two will be off to other tournaments at times so that they don't want or can't play. However, there are other players. If Proleague once again uses the Bo5 format, then I say he will maybe play 1 or 2 times unless he shows really good games in practise which is possible. | ||

That's not Jin Air roster, but who cares, it's time to win, 4 years without gold is a lot. If bo7 SPL happens, T1 might have a bit of problems in first rounds, but if it's bo5, i don't see a single reason why can't it happen. | ||

Admittedly, I tend to forget about him myself even when he's been code S all year, but top 5 Zerg seems like a bit of a stretch. That's even with Zerg having the weakest player pool. Life, soO, Soulkey, Solar, DRG imo. Dark is more in the demi-god tier with Rogue and ByuL. | ||

Dark is considered very good in practice too from what I heard. | ||

Idk, DRG had that one miracle run in Code S but i don't see him above Dark this season at all with Dark consistently performing in Code S/Proleague. We'll see though, Zergs are pretty weak outside of soO/Life/Solar in achievements this season even with cool maps in season 2. | ||

All in all skt looks a notch below from last season. The loss of rain and soulkey is telling. Because they are such good players that don't rely on gimmicks or balance and just straight up show that they are superior players regardless of racial balance. I don't see with current roster skt to be able to compete with kt. Stats is grossly underrated. Zest is the best player in the world. Flash is a monster for Proleague format. Ty's multi tasking and micro is possibly the strongest amongst terran pros. Against JAGW. I don't see anyone on SKT to be as skilled as SoS. Possibly only SoO is on SoS level. Maru will exploit 11/11's unabashedly. I don't see anyone outside of Bogus, SoO and classic having a decent chance against cure. On current strength, SKT can get 2-2 against JAGW if the match ups are favourable. But will have problem against SoS in ace match. SKT need a consistent 4th leg to supplement Bogus SoO and Classic. DRG would be good. | ||

ST is with YFW now. That means ST/YFW has Life, Parting (if...), San, Leenock. EDIT: and Bomber too. And I find the stacking rolster thing irrelevant for proleague. Last year SKT could not pull it. And the semifinals were even matches. CJ/Jinair are not far behind. | ||

Yeah, let's not forget how KT was at the beginning: Flash and protoss lieutenants. Look where they are now. We shouldn't dismiss players that aren't superstars (yet). | ||
