While we await SSL11 and other large tournaments, another smaller online tournament brings together most of the strong field from the recent Terror SL.
The 16 player Draemong Starleague (DSL) will be hosted by Afreeca caster KDS, who frequently hosts show-matches and clan leagues, with sponsorship by Draemong, a Korean drama/media firm.
Participants:
Format & Map Pool: Ro16 dual-tournament group stage Ro8 single elimination bracket
This may be controversial, but I don't miss Bisu when he's not there. He's obviously a top player, but somehow he's just not engaging. Does anyone else know what I mean?

not quite, what do you mean when you say hes not 'engaging'?
I think if Bisu joins all these tournaments, he'll get 1st place in at least half of them (cautious estimate). He gets so much balloons from "bububu" anyway. I'm a Bisu fan but I think it's better when he shares the wealth with all the other streamers rather than hogging all of it.
I want Sea.KH to win at to advance but he has some pretty tough competition to do that. However, I can see him upset free (tendency of PvP) and Sea (Sea playing his weakest mu). Maybe hero too.

Yes totally. Also when he participates to a tournament we all know who will be the champion.

He got owned in KSL though. It's obvious that Bisu is probably a favorite to win any tournament that he enters, but favorites don't always win...
I think part of the reason why Bisu doesn't enter all these smaller tournaments is that he wants to keep the image of the best player. Because even if he is the best player currently, it only takes two games to be out of a tournament which can taint your image.

That'd be neat, and I think he's got it in him. He beat hero in the SBENU Starleague. I suppose you could argue that perhaps hero underestimated him a bit and spent too long using just hydra/ling, but Sea.KH showed great control and army engagement. I'm a fan.
Predictions: Group A -- 1st Last // 2nd Mong Group B -- 1st Mind // 2nd HiyA Group C -- 1st free // 2nd Sea.KH Group D -- 1st sSak // 2nd ZerO
