Any top tier & consistent protoss streamers atm? I usually use afreeca to keep track, but over the last last few months I've been getting caught up with everything else. + the translated version of afreeca is hard to navigate so I have a hard time finding what I want now and notifications are in korean...

I wanna get back into BW for a little bit, but I wanna watch some footage along the way for guidance...

IDK if you are strictly looking for Koreans, but Bonyth is a Polish Protoss who streams. Pretty nice because he plays at a high level and talks through his decision making when he has mic.

Are there any translated interviews/articles (or just translated afreeca stream talks etc) featuring top pros (TBLS / bonjwas etc) talking about their BoX strategies/preparation/experiences etc? I've always wondered how often someone like Flash or JD decided to change their strategy for a set in a Bo5 after seeing how the earlier sets went or scouting something totally unexpected. I've always wondered how often they stray from their prepared build to do something on-the-fly, or rather how much they plan out their variations based on scouting etc. Any links or anecdotes would be greatly appreciated

A Korean friend of me just let me know.

+ Show Spoiler +

U heard IMJunwiPirme passed away?
apparently he took his own life
No!!!!!
Where did you hear this
it's all over Korean news
at least it is on Korean news rn
idk if u know him well. He was a professional starcraft guy
also known as Junwi_[saM]

I'm asking him to translate the articles. But this is super sad and shocking. Especially in light of recent news in the community. Can someone in our community translate if they're not on it already?

So I've had various pro player streams on in the the background while I work each day for an hour or 2 in the morning. Lately a lot of them have been doing pub matches where everyone observes 2 players, and Soma is kicking ass. What's the sentiment on him/his sponmatch results? Seems like he might actually be a top 3 zerg? At least online? Offline seems like he still has some nerves problems from having no pro experience. I've heard rumblings about him for a while but never really saw him play much, but damn he seems pretty good at least from the sliver of games I've seen him play.

He became really good online, especially over the last two months or so. He's actually 4th in the sponbbang elo rankings right now (3rd if you don't count Soulkey) only behind Flash and Light and he's constantly at least in the top 10

Yeah I watched a few of Flash’s games vs Soma and that guy is crazy good. No indication he’s a amateur at all.
