I used to play it as a kid (like an idiot) and I've been watching these tournaments and streams and was inspired to reinstall for the first time since SC2 was released. I'm so excited for this tournament! Awesome!! :D | ||

He doesn't want to be a member of the Kong line. I would be really surprised if he didn't compete. Calling players like Bisu or Jaedong is an insult to yellow imo... These guys won multiple championships, they dont know what it feels to always finish 2nd | ||

If he doesnt break this streak he will start to join the kong line. | ||

seeing how tight last season's offline qualifiers were (players like kal, light, sky and movie didn't qualify) it may be a tough ask for someone like stork to make it through unpracticed. remember too a lot of players have joined into the afreeca fray since then like rain and soulkey so that will add to the competitiveness of the qualifiers. | ||

To me, there's nobody who is set in stone to make it past the qualifiers, the amount of A/S Class Progamers increases in every iteration of Starleague's we see. im highly intrigued to find out who's gonna make it. | ||

On that note, are there any current English speaking streamers/content creators that cast BW regularly? As much as I love watching Flash's stream, I know I'm so far behind with game knowledge and would appreciate anyone who can give me analysis. | ||
