Life, San, Curious, Hack, aLive, Leenock, (Parting, Bomber) isn't a team I would rate very far below CJ or SKT in a Bo7.

And noone from them is really teamleague guy. On paper of course it looks cute, even cuter than IM last season.
If PartinG plays, they might contest round playoffs, having Life as your teamleague ace is kinda underwhelming.

When you say that they aren't team league guys, are you saying that they don't usually perform well in team leagues (likely because they have not put much focus on them in the past, as is true for most of ST) or that they're not streaky enough? If it's the former, I'm fairly confident Life and friends can handle preparing for a player they know in advance on maps they are familiar with.

It will be glorious to see your power rank with Startale way too high, just like with CJ last year 
At least i hope you do one, i think i will try one too this time, it's kinda fun to think about it

Zealously put CJ as first place on his power rank. They failed horribly at first, but ended up nearly beating SKT to make it to the finals.

I stand by the logic of placing CJ at #1. Couldn't have known beforehand they would forget how to play for a full round before starting to get into it. That herO vs Rain game 7 though -.-

And noone from them is really teamleague guy. On paper of course it looks cute, even cuter than IM last season. If PartinG plays, they might contest round playoffs, having Life as your teamleague is kinda underwhelming. On December 17 2014 03:12 SetGuitarsToKill wrote:

Plz no curse this year!

People want to see bo7 cause it rewards the depth of a team. You could argue that the teams right now lack the players to make a bo7 proleague work and you probably would be right, but still, i don't see what is wrong with having some "lesser" players gain experience and playtime.
With a bo5 we probably see the same 4 core players every week.
I mean it will be great regardless, but bo7 would add to it (season 12-13 is a bad example, the quality of the players on average just wasn't there yet) That's why it's cool to have Bo7 in playoffs, because it truly rewards best team. Neither Startale, Prime or MVP, even Samsung after RorO's retirement is going to be truly competitive team in bo7, but in bo5 they can reach playoffs and then try to check depths. Removing Sundays is a crime though :< Even worse than finals in autumn. Life, San, Curious, Hack, aLive, Leenock, (Parting, Bomber) isn't a team I would rate very far below CJ or SKT in a Bo7.

Let's face it, people would have said I cursed CJ even if they'd lost 3-4 in the finals -.^
