Whether it's us or not a Blizzard supported team league is the dream and would be amazing for the scene.

In that case, will the tournament be in a proleague format? Any team without one of those KR pros is pretty much out of the running if it's an all-kill format. A proleague-style format would give a big advantage to the team with said pro (as it should be) without completely warping the league around them. And there's still the possibility of an amazing upset once in a while.
I'll still be watching either way, but the difference between NA GM's who do well in tournaments and GSL Code S quality pros is...insane.

Some teams will stand out that's for sure however all kill format is much much more realistic to organize than pro league format.

A pity Splyce is not participating but still great news, regular teamleague is something the community really needs since proleague is gone.
