unfortunately it does not have any translation. I'll list some former progamers below. An interesting part is that there are some new faces. Most of them are former practice partners or semi-progamers or, progamers that were little known to public. My list will not include them. Group A: Movie(진영화, Protoss, CJ Entus), Zero(김명운, Zerg, Woongjin), Ssak(최호선, Terran, SKT1) Group B: Mini(변현제, Protoss, STX Soul), Firebathero(이성은, Terran, Khan), Killer(박준오, Zerg, OZ --> The8th), Organ(임진묵, Terran, Woongin) Group C: gangyu(한상봉, Zerg, Woongin --> SKT1), Last(김성현, Terran, STX Soul), Snow(장윤철, Protoss, CJ Entus) Group D: Mong(윤찬희, Terran, CJ Entus), Hyuk(박재혁, Zerg, SKT1), ToSsGirL(서지수, Protoss, STX Soul) Group E: HerO(조일장, Zerg, STX Soul --> The8th), ZeuS(전태규, Protoss, CJ Entus), SeaGuemChi(김승현, Protoss, Woongin -> ACE) Group F: Larva(임홍규, Zerg, SKT1), Pure(박세정, Protoss, Wemade FOX) Group G: Hiya(구성훈, Terran, OZ), Pretty(윤용태, Protoss, Woongin), Tyson(박수범, Zerg, MBC-->ACE) Group H: Jangbi(허영무, Protoss, Khan), Modesty(김현우, Zerg, STX Soul), Mind(박성균, Terran, FOX-->KT), Shuttle(김윤중, Protoss, STX Soul) As I said, I have excluded former practice partners and semi-programers or amateurs from this list. Group H is considered to be a 지옥조, which literally means a "group of hell", and Group A and B are also considered as groups that are difficult to survive within If there are mistakes or left outs, please let me know. | ||

All those players were very renowned players. Many have once reached to the top at their height. I believe we can expect some great games throughout the league. The round of 32 will be held throughout the last week of December. The first match will be held on January 24th, I think. It will be broadcasted on online. The round of 16 will be broadcasted at OngameNet, and it will start at January 8th. | ||

Firebathero is a name that's great to see, but he is gonna be so out of practice. I think the most he's done with BW in the last year is stream a few casual games. Killer is going to be so strong with no Bisu to stand in his way. I think there's only 3 or 4 players who even have a chance, and I don't give them much better than 35% We'll have to see what the TV broadcast does to motivate them. I think Larva still wants to prove something, same with Zero. Jangbi is a wild card, you don't know how strong he's going to be. Sometimes he's just a good player, sometimes he crushes the league. My picks for each race: Killer, Jangbi, Mong (but my heart says Fishieking). Jangbi vs Zero Final for the storyline win. | ||

Though i really hope some of the underdogs can achieve an upset, that's where the best stories come from | ||

I found the group selection intensely fun and interesting, thanks to the translations provided in the LR/chat. There was no weird shit and only little dancing. Zeus would of course put on a nice show. You can wait for the ro32 preview where the most interesting banters will be highlighted along with some additional translations and lovely pictures. | ||

Not many crazy ceremonies though I liked Zeus' ceremony quite a bit so I would recommend you watch that. Overall, it was interesting to see what the players had to say, aka one of them gained 20kg supposedly LOL.

I think not having Sea or Bisu hurt SSL just a bit but I agree, Killer is going to be unstoppable with no Sea or Bisu to give him a hard time. Given, I'm hoping we see someone step up, aka HIYA! and win the whole thing. Would be a dream :D I also wouldn't count on Jangbi. Unless he's been practicing a lot recently, his SSL9 games were pretty bad for someone of his caliber. I also hope ZerO makes it to the finals after beating Jangbi hehe. | ||

I'd definitely put shuttle ahead of him. And last night jangbi played hero and was dominated. Just fish games, but.. it wasn't even close. | ||

Results for practice games on Fish don't seem all that persuasive to me. You can't play to win every game in practice. | ||
