As we reported last week, KeSPA is to hold a special HotS show tournament where coaches build their own teams anew. Today, we get the eight full line-ups.
The only thing that has changed between the announcement and today's team drawings is the elimination of the "at least one of each race" restriction. As a result, the tournament will see an all-toss, all-terran and all-zerg team (as well as the ultimate dream team).

Although the rule about races has been discarded, the match format, the bracket and the dates remain the same. The teams will play matches that feature both Proleague format (for the first sets) and Winners League format (for the final sets). Quarter and semifinals are Bo5, grand final is Bo7 and all games will be streamed here.
Here are the brackets themselves:
