Starting on the 27th of February, the AfreecaTV Challenger StarLeague serves as a gateway for rookies to reach the ASL. The winner of the tournament gets seeded into an ASL11 qualifying match of their choice (probably 12 grps in Seoul, 6 in Busan, 6 in Gwangju / Daejon).

Sign-up period: 15/02 - 24/02

Groups A, B: 27/02 (online)
Groups C, D: 28/02 (online)

Ro4 + Finals: 07/03, 1900KST (FreecUP Studio)

Eligibility:
    No ASL Ro16 main event participants
    No former Progamers (Semi-pros allowed)
    No ACS Winners / Runner-ups
    No people restricted from appearing on TV (should probably need some clarification on that)



1st place: ~2,700$ + ASL11 qualifying match spot
2nd place: ~1,800$

Map pool: Polypoid, Eclipse, Fighting Spirit

Aw man, I'm restricted from appearing on TV due to my face

Are foreigners allowed to sign up?
And what exactly does a seed to an ASL qualifier mean? Do you get seeded into later rounds? I thought the ASL qualifiers were open?

This probably means that ASL qualifiers will start at around 12 III 2021 or something.

Really like the idea of ACS. I hope it goes well this time around, too.

Yes, foreigners have been generally allowed in the past.

Again no English casting by Tastetosis? They'd rather get hired to cast Valorant than this..

theres no way afreeca would pay them to cast players no one knows to the west. Also imagine trying to cast hundreds of games of kinda amateurish Broodwar over multiple days. I dont even think Tasteosis could make that interesting.

it's still Afreeca that hires them to do Valorant or PUBG instead of ASTL or ACS. blame Afreeca.

There's never been an English cast for the ACS, it's just not fiscally feasible.

Right, 2700mmr players barely knowing how to play Broodwar. Sure.

Also implying that Artosis and Tasteless offer some kind of deep commentary on the games as is.

I would also like to shout-out the rest of the thread for not being aware of the concept of a budget.
