2. SKT - Lost 1st place spot because Huni, stayed in 2nd because Faker. PS: Kkhoma is the devil 3. Samsung - Finished 2016 strong, interested in seeing how this roster grows. 4. Afreeca - Solid roster across the board, managed to blueshell teams with less. Only suspect player is Kramer, but ADC isn't a power position in this meta. 5&6. ROX/LZ - Hard pick between the two. Both rosters boast proven talent mixed with promising up and comers. ROX gets the benefit of the doubt because of coaching pedigree, but the former ROX bot has the ability to flip this. 7. Jin Air - I recognize some of these names, but it feels like Jin Air is going to be Jin Air - much sadplane.jpg 8 to 10. Ouch. Looking down this list, reading these names... leave me sitting here just thinking "Who?" Put them in literally any order. Bonus points to BBQ for a funny name and mascot. UOL of Korea. | ||

1. KT - I am an SKT fan but I feel that KT will have a stronger spring split (regular season) at least. This team is ridiculously talented and they have very intelligent and experienced players so I don't think there will be much growing pains relative to other new teams. Synergy will be pretty good I think. It is very easy to imagine Smeb/Score working well as a duo as well as with Pawn/Deft/Mata. This is honestly the best (at inception) super team I have seen in LoL. 2. SKT - Another great roster but I do think there will be slight growing pains and SKT tends to ramp up during playoffs and test out more things during the regular season. Would not be surprising to see them dominate in similar fashion to past years either. 3. Samsung - Strong synergy with the same line up. No reason for them to be inferior to anyone other than SKT/KT. Their botlane has also grown so it will be exciting to see if they can overcome the two telecom giants. 4. Longzhu - Honestly a solid lineup and they got rid of Lustboy for a former ROX coach. I also think this unit will work decently together. Topside looks promising with Expession/Crash and the other half with Fly, Pray, and Gorilla will be quite good. I'm expecting a different Longzhu from the joke that was last year. A more intelligent one at least. 5. Afreeca - Pretty strong players but I have a few question marks about them as well. Many of them have shown inconsistent to mediocre performances on other teams and I don't really know how they'll work together as a unit. I don't think this team will actually end up #5, but they get this power rank because of how good and bad they could be. I think they will end up quite good or quite bad, not in the middle. So more like 3-4 or 7-8. 6. ROX - Okay roster with some inconsistency issues. They remind me of the old Afreeca (also got the old Afreeca coach and several players). Can see them sniping top teams but won't be consistently that good. 7. Kongdoo - They've been growing recently and they work together well as a unit. I think they will beat out the more dysfunctional teams but falter against simply better teams. 8. MVP - at least they have synergy from having the same roster. Should do relatively similar to last year. 9. Jin Air - They have some talent but the fact that the jungler is some unknown guy bothers me a lot. If their jungler turns out to be decent I can see Jin Air all the way up to maybe 5th but I can't in good conscience rank them higher here without knowing who the hell Umti is. I think they got a better top and support but the (assumption) downgrade from Winged is huge especially considering how important the role is right now. Plus I never liked their macro play and don't think it'll change much this year. 10. BBQ - Bad name, bad team. Playoffs - 1. SKT 2. KT 3. Samsung 4-5. 2 out of 3 from Longzhu, Afreeca, and ROX. | ||

1)KT- Could potentially get off to a slow start but with the talent on this Roster they should be able to assume the number 1 spot. 2)SKT- SKT has talent again, but both Huni and even Peanut to an extent are wild cards, both of whom could have been the best player in the league at the position if they could play consistently at their top end. 3)SSG- Good team, solid players, young talent from last year could potentially improve. I kinda wish they had a young jungler on the roster to "apprentice" but no reason to believe they will drop off. 4)LZ- I like this roster, as much as I like Fly they have a chance to really take off if bdd comes in and lives up to the hype, but even with Fly starting they should be 4th easy 5)Rox- Hightly dependant on tanks being viable, but if you can stick shy on tanks, I think the rest of this roster has a lot of carry potential. This is probly my only departure from the norm is that I really like this team. 6)Afreeca- I actually don't like this team much at all but we're getting into the "less bad" territory 7)MVP- I think Beyond is good, and jungle is pretty good atm, so "less bad" 8)Jin Air- Kuzan has potential, Ikssu is decent and I kinda like snowflower so I'll put these above the last two 9)Kongdoo- There just isn't really anyone on this team that sticks out to me 10)BBQ Olivers- honestly I just don't know much about these players even though some of them are returning | ||
