Detailed match results on Liquipedia



Overall, it was a season that offered several newcomers a chance to shine, while many veterans also lost their foothold in the Premier League. ShoWTimE, Targa, Noname, BlinG, FireCake, and Genius are all first time EU Premier League players, and will look to make the best of their opportunity. On the other hand, several players who were initially season into the Premier League at the start of the year dropped out, with SortOf, DIMAGA, Ret, Bly and MaNa needing to work their way back up from Challenger.

Granted it wasn't (one of) the strongest group, but still mad respect for him! The same goes to KrasS, now we will finally see more non-Protoss Germans in Code S! :D

It's definitely slower, but I'm afraid of the trend.. Number of Koreans rising with every season. Now there are 9 Koreans in EU Premier.It's definitely slower, but I'm afraid of the trend.. Mapmaker of Frost, Fruitland and Breeze | Team Crux | teamcrux.tistory.com | https://twitter.com/CruxSemmo

Not to forget that 4th place finishers are completely out of Challenger (like Ret(!!!)).

We are almost out of decent Korean protoss.

Since the wall of lag keeps other races away from the qualifiers we should be fine. We are almost out of decent Korean protoss.Since the wall of lag keeps other races away from the qualifiers we should be fine.

Otherwise lineup looks cool (lack a bit of zergies tho) RIP MKP

Larkin Profile Blog Joined January 2012 United Kingdom 7149 Posts #20 The problem being that the top 8 from last season still get in. So the fact the top 8 was 6 Protoss means the Protoss favouring is not going to end.



However a crap ton of Terrans got in this season and I would be surprised if MMA and mvp weren't up there at the end of the season. So it's not all bad. Zergs just gotta step it up. If FireCake can do it, so can you! https://www.twitch.tv/ttalarkin - streams random stuff, high level teamleague, maybe even heroleague
