Rush is very solid as well and can surely take a game off of hero in his worst MU. Predictions: Group A: Shuttle & Guemchi (everytime I predict against Guemchi he proved me wrong, I'm done with that...) Group B: Jaedong & Best (fingers crossed, I think it's Mind>JD>Best>Mind) Group C: Last & Bisu Group D: Rain & Flash (hard group, all of them seem to be quite solid at the moment) | ||

I do however think Stork will advance just considering all his experience. Not sure about group B either. Jaedong seems clear but will Best be able to beat any of the terrans? Group C has me concerned for Bisu considering his history with Hero. Also feel sorry for Rush. But he is the weakest link overall anyways. Group D seems the clearest to me. I don't think Sea has any chance what so ever, pretty much same with Movie. So my predictions are: A Stork and Light B Jaedong and Best C Bisu and Last D Flash and Rain Group C is gonna be awesome Last 16 is gonna be sick. Cant wait | ||

If ASL applies the rule of OSL, I guess there will be 3 games for each player against all the opponent in the group and the best two qualify. If players tie after 3 matches, extra game will be executed among 3 players. Any concrete/official information about that? | ||

Group D is definitely the Group of Death. Group A: Stork. Group B: BeSt is a dangerous opponent. Jaedong, please prepare well for the rematch. Group C: Bisu should be able to advance easily. Last will probably destroy hero for the second spot. Group D: This group is fucking dangerous. Sea, Movie, and Rain are all capable of sniping Flash. Flash, please advance. | ||

Group A: Shuttle 2-0 Stork 2-1 Shuttle is a PvP specialist. I will root for Stork, but I could see Shuttle winning even in back in the Kespa days. Shuttle is 3-1 in the Kespa era against Stork. Light is notorious for weak TvP so Storks should prevail, and Guemchi is a wildcard so he could beat anyone but I gotta go for my boy Stork to make it out. Group B: Mind 2-0, Jaedong 2-1 Mind is in top form right now and I don't see anyone in this group beating him. It's sort of a tossup for the other 3, but I'm going with Jaedong because TBLS. I think Sharp could easily advance too but I gotta root for the main 4. Group C: Bisu 2-0, Hero 2-1 Bisu will edge out Hero, but the top 3 players in this group are all very strong so even Last could make it. Still, Hero will advance for the swarm. Group D: Flash 2-0, Rain 2-1 Movie needs his PvZ, so I can't see him win against Rain. While Rain is somewhat new in his return to BW, his game against Effort proved he is back. Never bet against Flash. | ||

He might actually be the worst player in the Ro16 currently though I don't know how good people like Guemchi really are and if they 'lucked' through or if they are actually really strong players | ||

High quality of games, great commentating (with some on point explanations for us, BroodWar noobs) and such an intense atmosphere all around! Looking forward for this Ro16, especially if legends can make it into the playoffs. Will root for Bisu, that guy seems so cool inside and outside of the game! Welcome! I'm sure you won't regret it. In the meantime you can watch the previous ASL as well as OSL/MSL to gain a better understanding of the game and players. | ||

Did he comment that in any way? There would have been lots of weaker players than Mind imo... btw Sea got to advance please... His courage to pick Flash got to get rewarded! Sharp started by saying he wanted to play vs. a Terran for that match. The commentators interrupt him, and suggest "Flash" as the Terran player. Sharp declines. Out of the available players, I would have expected him to choose Mind or Light, with Light being arguably even weaker, although Sharp already defeated Mind in a series in the last Starleague. Theoretically Sharp may have a relatively equal chance against Mind or Light, however, Mind is probably much stronger than Light when facing strong Zerg and Protoss opponents, and because strong Zerg and Protoss opponents are both more likely to be selected last, and Sharp is perhaps less likely to be favored in either of those matches (as opposed to vs. Mind), selecting Mind might actually increase Sharp's chances of advancing - even if Mind is stronger than Light overall, and stronger specifically vs. Sharp (although I have no idea if this was actually part of his thought process). It's interesting that Sea told Flash to pick Movie instead of Light. Light is very unlikely to effectively cheese, and is even less likely to win a TvT macro game (particularly against Flash) - while Movie on the other hand could quite conceivably take a game off of any Terran with one of his aggressive early/mid game builds. Of course, Sea's general decision making at the selection ceremony seemed extremely questionable, so it's possible there were ulterior motives regarding one or more of his decisions anyways. | ||

It's only 20% more games in the Ro16 for round robin. Maybe they are worried about the 50% chance of a tie breaker, and that tie breakers can potentially last forever. They did it last year, only had 1 tie breaker but it went to 6 games. Could have been worse (Effort's OSL). | ||

Oh well. Still hoping for great games, and LeeSsang to advance! | ||

Would it be possible for Afreeca to put in someone who's knowledgable about Brood War to co-cast with Artosis? I have nothing against Rapid, but he seems a bit ill-equipped to cocast this tourney. I'm sure there's a fair number of english speakers who would be better versed in the game. As for Rapid himself, I love the effort and passion he's putting into his casts. That said, I would recommend he stick with more play-by-play and questions rather than trying to analyze. I have a feeling he's been trying to do this and it's tough to stick with that for 5 games. But stuff like, "Looks like player A is moving in with his forces, and here's a big fight, blah blah, it looks like player B has won the engagement. What do you think the game position is now Artosis?"would be great. Actually, I don't mind analyzing at all if he puts it in the form of a question. Something like "So from what I'm getting, it appears that Player A is ahead because of the engagement he won there. Is that enough to push the game in his favour or does Player B still have the edge?" There, you have an opportunity to add in opinion and at the same time, let Artosis chime in and clarify the situation. I think that would be amazing. I totally understand the accommodation for SC2 viewers. I have no problems with that. It's a tad annoying for those familiar with BW but eh, it's manageable. Again, I love the effort and passion. Keep at it. As for the name Eyewater, he clarified why he uses it in the last ASL's champion interview. After hearing why he uses it, I think it's great. | ||

You said: they only go with name recognition and availability instead of skill. I obviously understand your point about name recognition. You think BD is a better caster than them and they only cast because, they're well known and get the viewers. I get that. But I'm not sure about the "availability over skill" aspect of the quote. You say it like it's some kind of injustice to BD that he can't cast directly from the studio. The whole discussion was about finding another caster who can cast directly from the studio in Korea and I said there are probably no other English casters currently in Korea. Then you started talking about BD and how he is better than them and should cast. I don't get what you mean with "availability over skill" as if it's something unfair in this context. How can they dismiss availability if they need to find a caster who is either already living in Korea or willing to go to Korea. | ||

Like GTR mentioned, I have a really secure job, a house, family nearby, and kid on the way. So I'm just happy to talk on the microphone from whatever remote location I'm tuning in from. I would move to Korea if Bisu offered me a position as personal butler. But that's about it. | ||
