Disregarding Rain's PvP, who is the scariest opponent that could participate in this KSL?


Rain, Snow, Zero, Light, Last? mini/stork/best/sharp/soma/action are also pretty good right now.

Given Light's momentum, he might be who people fear most.

so glad they are bringing back Matchpoint, really good map to see

Edit:

Oh man, they took their sweet time.

:D Always get a bit worried during the wait. Hope we get some breakout stars this time. I love me some toss but a new zerg dark horse would be welcome.

don't let match point take away from the fact that the map pool still has FS and CB.

Hopefully a better and more interesting map pool of the previous season.

Edit: There's no need for FS and CB again, everybody knows those maps, It's not like we have to learn how to play those maps on ladder from the pros.

Yeah, I saw it. Like 5 times at least. This is one of my favourite BW games of all time..

doesn't change the fact that map pool is just INCREDIBLY boring this season..

yeah.. FS and CB still being played at this level is truly a bad joke..

The map pool is definitely more boring this time around, if you can even believe such thing can be possible..

I was really hoping to see Power Bond and Tres Pass being played at pro level.. these pro players always go for fun builds on these new maps..

I just hope the games are going to be of awesome quality, at least..

that's pretty INCREDIBLE:

well, I guess we have the same taste in Vods, just not the same in maps; I for example am not particulary impressed in any Korean map that came out after the remastered, (not that I know all of them); but still, the maps of a tournament should in no way be about what someone wants to watch, from the outside; it should be about what is happening in this moment (old maps too), the current meta trends, the nature of the tournament, the percentuage of races involved, and the ranks of the players who participate in said tournament. If a map is popular to play, you can be sure that it will be popular to watch, because the players will have practiced it, and may pull out interesting or unorthodox strategies. Of course, I am basing this on my idea and Foreign Tournaments, the structures, supports, sponsors and all must be somewhat different in Korea.

Also, saying why are Big scale tournaments playing CB or FS is just like, uhm, stupid? I understand if you are sick and tired of seeying this maps on stream, (I don' t even like CB to be honest), but really man...
All in all, you could be a little more cheering, instead of saying that's the map pool is boring. like what do you except will come from this behaviour? I don' t think Ksl reads these threads on TL, I might be wrong, so this is like sending a letter to someone who will never receive it.

I've said that I hope that at least the games will be of good quality and the tournament will be better than the last one.

And because of this atrocious map pool Nothing more "cheerful" will be coming from me until the tournament will actually start and we are able to see the groups, the games, the production, etc.

Nothing wrong with standard maps at all, but ffs.. this is a pro tournament of the highest caliber.. go for 4 to 3 ratio - 4 standard ones and 3 "odd" ones just to spice things up a bit. That's all I'm saying. Was always like that in korean tournaments and it should stay that way if you ask me.

But still.. Using FS and CB in a top tier tournament in 2019 is just inexplicable to me..

Eh not a fan of online qualifiers, but what can you do. Maybe if they keep changing venue every season, one day this'll end up at a competent production company for once. One can always hope. Let's see if they can have somewhat decent sound for once.
Not a fan of the map pool either, but it's what you'd expect from a blizz run event. Still hoping that one day some other company, maybe SPO or OGN, finds an agreement with Blizzard to run their own events so Blizzard doesn't have to anymore. Though I doubt that modern Blizz would ever wave/reduce that massive fee. I'm so grateful to Afreeca for paying it every season/year. That CEO is one hell of a guy.
Still having my fingers crossed for Bisu, but Blizzard had to do this with Twitch, when all the big Starcraft streamers are on Afreeca...

I just wanted to point out that it's not really a matter of personal opinion on the map pool, it's clear that the Korean audience likes fancy maps that enables colourful experiments by the pros.
That's why delivering innovative maps should be a priority for the KSL production.

Having both CB and FS is like when Lucina & dark pit were both selectable characters in Smash. There's 100's of old maps and also tons of new ones to select from having 2 of the most overplayed standard map is wrong even with most sets in KSL inflated to Bo5/7 no one needs it I believe.

I'm fine if we let FS die at this point and we definitely don't need it in every tournament.

I'm happy to see KSL continue though, I was worried for a while there!

Could not find details on two things, hopefully you people can help me out:

1. Is Bisu gonna try and qualify? (Maybe the koreans watching his stream would know best)
2. Saying that all matches will be casted in English - does that include qualifiers as well?
