Excellent writeup! Hope JD n soulkey can make it out of the group stages. But my money is on shutter and Light
SC2 is to BW, what coke is to wine.

Many thanks to anyone who is commenting. I'm sure it gives our writers more strength and makes them happy to know that their previews are making someone's day ^^

Let's go JD. This tourney is yours! I personally want to see Mind get past his Ro8 obstacle and would like to see Rain make another finals because I do think he's one of the best atm.

Would also be really really cool to see Light be in his element and actually advance with JD. Always sad to see that his TvZ is nowhere as good as people saying it used to be though that could also be partially since a lot of zergs he's faced, aka Larva for instance are damn good in the matchup. I also want to see a Light vs Shuttle rematch so it's pretty easy then. Light loses to JD, Shuttle loses to Soulkey then JD wins through ZvZ and Light beats Shuttle then Soulkey in an epic bo5 zvt series! :D

I'm rooting for Rain after watching his performance in the previous ASL, and JD because JD!

Think you have the style of tournament wrong here. its just a bo5 vs each other. single elimination bracket, other than that enjoyed the write up


The KSL uses the same style group format the ASL uses, but matches are Bo5 instead of Bo1.


Well thats just AWESOME :D more starcraft!!!

does anyone know what kinds of obligations Flash has? It's a shame that he's not attending. Pretty hyped for the tournament though.

Let's not make such dismal statements in official TL posts such as "Needless to say, ASL 5 champion Rain won't lose to Movie who relies mostly on greater strategic decision making" You never know what's gonna happen, anything can happen, so for you to say "Rain WONT lose to Movie" is a little disrespectful and ignorant. If it were some random posting that I wouldn't care, but this is an official TL post.

Yes, it's true that this is an official TL post, however, the writers are free to approach their piece however they like. In this case, what was stated in regards to Movie was not disrespectful or ignorant precisely due to the fact that Movie is not dedicating as much of his time to BW.

We all know he can be a great contender, but as it stands, I don't think anyone would put Movie and Rain on the same level unless Movie started to sink a lot more time into the game to get his form back. I thank you for your feedback though and I'm sure the staff member who wrote that piece will read your feedback too.
