Pre-Season preview
With week 1 games officially being able to begin tomorrow i thought around about now is the best time to post this 'pre-season preview'.
I thought id highlight a few players to watch coming into the season so here is a bit of a list;
Birry - HvG - - In recent clan wars Birry has been a very solid terran player and has won many games, likely to get multiple appearances for HvG and will improve as the season goes on. Cuddles (Phuzzy) - ETL - - Also been in top form in clan wars lately almost all killing HvG and giving a solid performance at ACL Brisbane considering he is in the GPD ranking. Pokemon - DGTV - - Also part of the team eCKo and hailing from Melbourne Pokemon has been a upcoming terran for quite a while, being in he would be one of the DGTV ace players and would be borderline . For the time he is in during this tournament he should be one of the best competitors. Drinksarlot - DGTV - - A solid player from DGTV who qualified for MSi Beat It Stage 2 and played some good games in the ACL Brisbane open bracket. Should produce a good win loss ratio for the dominion. ZeNo - HvG - - One of the stronger terrans on Havoc Gaming consistently getting multiple kills in team leagues. Should progress to diamond during the season and be one of the ace players. Pressure - mGG - - Recently got 3 kills against 3 of the best players from ETL GPD division and could be a unexpected top performer in this team league. Swarmstika - ETL - - Consistent score in clan wars for Eternal eSports and has been competing in many weekly tournaments in the scene, with committed practise could easily assist Eternal eSports in being one of the top placing teams.
Predicted Ranking At Season End
1. Eternal eSports
2. DGTV
3. AxiS
4. Havoc Gaming
5. mGG
6. SCS
All hail tRoy for this amazing write up. May the other kingdoms of sc2sea fair well in the upcoming six way war. But in saying this i secretly hope the Dominion Empire shall rise above all to where it should be sitting :P
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

plan is to get as many games casted as possible I'm sure people like Soundwave, Metalcore and more would be happy to jump into some games and cast.
Unfortunately i didnt get a response from ToR but if they would like to compete and we can get another team involved I'm happy to expand the list to 8 teams.
SCS is Starcraft Collegiate Society or something like that and its a bunch of Sydney universities who run bar crafts and social events ran by Elison (The MC from ACL Sydney) They have a massive Facebook page and are getting involved
Pokemon - AxS - - Also part of the team eCKo and hailing from Melbourne Pokemon has been a upcoming terran for quite a while, being in he would be one of the AxS ace players and would be borderline . For the time he is in during this tournament he should be one of the best competitors.
