						who is Darkstar? and Ellenkey? I guess at least NSH is getting players. And Seal is still on their roster? I feel like that's just wishful thinking that he'll try to come back by NSH

 I guess their latest recruit this would probably be a good time to debut the kid I suppose.
 I believe ellenkey is a former IM zerg.

				I wish the guy that does the preview and posts the rosters had their race next to them. The rest of the preview is fantastic, is just a minor detail, especially for a lot of the 'contender teams' with players people (like me) might not be too familiar with.

 Seal is not on roster. Brave is the rising star he played incredibly well vs Flash in GSL.
 And yeah who is Darkstar? I know that EllenKey joined (http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Iron_Squid_%E2%80%93_Chapter_II/Korean_Qualifier he showed not bad perfomance here and his games and some his games were broadcasted his name is 권혁재) but never heard about Darkstar can you say his korean name please?

I thought I saw it on there when I posted and the OP has been edited since then. wouldn't be the first time they've listed a roster mistake in the OP since they had Weekend and Tree on FXO's roster when they've long since retired. I may have just seen wrong, though

				Oh, GGanDoL, the guy who qualified for Code A when all his opponents forfeited !
 Looking forward to seeing Sickness play though, this guy is pretty damn good.

				I guess dtG will play as inF-dtG since their roster contains three Italian players, and Sickness has joined inFerno eSports now as well. Who is Happen?

 Hopefully the new guys do some work.

				Might be another all-kill today.

				I feel so bad when i see that new NSHS roster, I can't beleive so many talented players like Seal have left the roster, he had so much raw skill.

				Was Darkstar playing a legitimate strategy, or was it one of the "tololol, I don't need roaches and can still own you"-build fired backwards?
