Still some pretty notable players missing. But there is time left.

Really sad that Zero likely won't be participating because of his military service, but I'm excited for another great tournament.

Hopefully there will be decent ways to boost the prizepool, and just just like "sign up with a new plan with KT", since if you showed support of KT because of their other BW ventures, you dont count now because you already had a plan.

Zero ...army....shit...

I thought he wanted to win a starleague before he joined the military? At least try to win the ASL. I'm assuming Zero will be in bootcamp next month.

Huh so the base prize pool is lower than before.

Do you have any info on the other placements? Like how much do the 5th-8th finishers get. Or the Ro16/Ro24 players?

Edit: Dumb question. Easy to find on the page.
500,000 krw 5th-8th
300,000 krw 9th-16th
150,000 krw 17th-28th

Another question: Anyone knows how they are going to play this out? They need 18 broadcasting days but only have 16 (with the final being on a Saturday). Are they going to play the groups oldschool? With one game of a group each broadcasting day? Unless I made a mistake it just doesn't fit

Looks like the prize pool is pretty much identical to ASL2 -- if I recall, KT/Afreeca added ₩5M on the day of the finals.

I imagine Afreeca will play around with the broadcast days to suit their schedules -- ASL2 had three game days/week before switching to two
