Should stir up a bit more drama and get some SEA picks in here..





please don't actually do that.. It's a joke..

Also, I'll do this soon when I have some time.. my psychic prediction skillz will be put to good use.

I was going to say MaximusBlack should have been on the list but he just got picked up by ItsGosu, so that makes sense.

forget foreigners, id just buy all the koreans

My picks would be:

Korea:
Alicia, Polt, Yugioh

Europe:
SaSe, SjoW, TargA

America:
State, illusion (unless lastshadow can stop playing LoL, put his ego aside AND compete in foreign events without tilting), Hawk

CBF explaining most of this though, its based off results and who I like. Im biased like that.

This was a big point for me when considering, I think LS is pretty decent, but seems to be hugely emotionally effected by things and yeah... continues to play LoL :S

Lastshadow always has been and always will be mediocre at absolute best.

aria already quit the game rofl

I think YugiOh has alot of potential to do well if he was to be picked up by a team, hes currently top 16 gm on kr

Korea:
Alicia
Dragon
Yu-gi-Oh

Europe:
Naniwa
Eve
Targa

America:
state
Flo
Chance

top two picks, Naniwa (obvious) and Dragon if he decides to turn pro again in HotS

I think I'd take alicia or maybe sage for kr Protoss, hard for me to say I feel like Alicia might be stronger though so I guess Alicia it is. For Terran polt is definitely my pick, initially I thought we had to pick two from each category and I didn't know who else to pick aside from polt haha. Lastly I think golden would be the kr zerg, yugioh plays too... Weird for my liking, although he is definitely my a very close runner up.

Then for Europe I'd take sase, I think tod is good as well but I think sase has shown the potential to do well and could do it again. I won't manage naniwa. For Terran I want Tarson because he's the only one I really recognise aside from sjow and sjow doesn't play anymore so. (Then again I don't know if Tarson does...) For zerg targa has to take the spot, morrow is playing a lot of heart of the swarm and I never liked the way he played Terran vs zerg instead of zvz. It made him that guy who I couldn't rly follow because I like learning. I also think targa has lots of potential to perform as shown by various dreamhacks.

State for Protoss cause he's better than agh IMO although I don't really like either of the players that much. Illusion is definitely my favourite Terran for NA and I think he can do well and become a top player. Lastly for zerg, this is hard cause I like all of the players. PsY is a caster, who I used to watch a lot but I don't want to add a caster as my only NA zerg. Hawk I think might be the player I like less than glon and chance, I tend to be a big fan of the vile players I guess (state, illusion, chance, hawk). I really liked chance back when he was in the ipl team leagues, he was the epitome of the zerg I wanted to play like so I think I will take him just because I really like him. Glon and hawk barely miss out though. Like if chance doesn't play anymore or something similar then glon definitely take the spot. He's a really good player who has potential to really explode soon.

Top 2 I'd pick to do well would be polt being the Terran master he is and golden who had quite a performance at nasl 4. I think they will both be able to adapt to hots well. However, go chance and illusion! :d

Yeah nah **** that HotS stuff man I'd just pick my big booty warriors TargA and Scarlett so we can break laws n party n bullshit

Why is this a blog? Belongs in a thread IMO.

Polt
Polt is one of the best terrans in the world, in addition to being one of the most inventive/influential. He has a very broad style, mech being the only thing he doesn't really do, and he'd make an excellent practice partner for everyone else on the team.

Alicia
Alicia, with a lot of success in foreign tournaments, would be a great influence on the team.

YuGiOh
YuGiOh stands out from a fairly mediocre selection of Korean zergs. As a member of SlayerS when they boasted some of the best results going, I'd expect him to make him a solid practice partner if not team player.

SaSe
While NaNiWa is the safer money performance wise, his track record with teams would make me cautious. In real life, I'd talk to him, and make a decision based on that. Without doing that though, he's too big a risk. SaSe is the opposite - solid foreign protoss, mature and capable of leading a team.

Tarson
Tarson is a rad guy, whose personality screams a love for the game. He models himself on Mvp and I think with a bit of influence from Polt will see some major improvement.

MorroW
Sweden > Norway. Maybe I'm overcompensating for my bias in favour of TargA, but I am betting on MorroW as a safer pick long term.

Illusion
Lol, like it is a question.

The final 2 spots I would forgo, in favour of increasing the salaries/travel budget of the rest of the players.

If I owned a team, I wouldn't focus purely on results. Sure, having the sponsor logos displayed at a grand final of a tournament would be great, but I would focus more on having a bigger fan base. More fan base -> make sponsors happy -> create a self sustainable team.



Korea

Alicia
-I honestly don't know much about these Korean Protosses, so no real reason behind Alicia.


Dragon
-No.1 entertainer. Buy his fans, but also the potential to become a good player.

Golden
-NA KR Zerg superstar. He shows results, as well as have the potential to be an entertainer / personality for the team.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Europe

NaNiwa
-Big fan base, as well as solid player that can show results. ++ for the team.


Everize
-If I had to pick one from that list, it'd be him. Not too sure about his skill level, but a decently entertaining guy.


MorroW
-No reason. Seems to have the most fanbase that are accessible compared to the other Zergs on the list.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

America

State
-Have you seen this guy's stream? Talks about tits and asses to Koreans on ladder. I believe him and Sase was the top two foreigner players on Quantic while it was still alive. Skill + personality, so that's a plus.

Flo
-Big fan base. There was so much potential in her, in both skill wise and personality wise.


Hawk
-Again, potential to be a good player as well as an entertainer/personality. Who doesn't love watching proxy hatches


So basically Quantic 2.0

Korea:

Sage: Because his english is pretty freaking good and hes a great player

Dragon: Because it will show why in NA picks

YugiOh: because i have a deck sitting in front of me and in tournaments before he engaged id make him play a blue eyes on the table.

Europe:

NaNiwa: Because his zerg is bronze he might switch to z once he beats golds!

Tarson: Becuase hes always drunk at HSC

America:

State because he is freaking good.

Illusion: He has ******* incredible mirco.

I decided to make my Zerg, IdrA. Becuase **** everything and the constant bm between him and dragon will cause an amazing fan base.
