We will have another Zerg champion soon.
I said Zerg is the strongest race but no one believe in me.

Who's restricted from appearing on TV?
|
Match fixers like Savior I'm guessing.

>No ACS Winners / Runner-ups
the most amazing restriction imo, so winner/runnerups from the very first edition of acs in 2018 til now can't play in it anymore lol?
|
it will mostly likely be a protoss winning y, pretty much the best terran and zerg amateurs have reach previous acs finals and hence cannot play (scan/gaeko/bishop & yoon/yabsab/zelot(reach ro16 asl))
either mighty or khala or ssinz should win this one

I'm not sure I understand the objection here—the whole point is to give exposure and a better chance at ASL to some lesser known players.

because you are not recognizing the merit of top amateurs and eventually just be giving handouts to lower tier amateurs. would care about a tourney where you are watching ever decreasing tiers of players with every edition?

Last I checked, 'lower tier' amateurs have some respectable credibility in our current scene.
Soma, Rush, sOrry, Royal to name a few.

Huh?
I think it's widely accepted right now that on paper Zerg is the strongest race in this game.

Did you just name 2 aliases of 1 person? Really? Haven't done any proper checking at all if you ask me lol
Also.. you named 2 former pros out of the 3 (not 4) people you mentioned. Jesus.

There are always up and coming players. There have to be if the game is going to survive.
You're right that someone like Soma could probably show up with his "top amateur" status and crush this tournament again and again. But that would be a tournament people would stop watching and a tournament that didn't have any real point. They have to restrict competitors somehow, and this seems totally reasonable.
If Afreeca find themselves really scraping the bottom of the barrel I'm sure they'll change eligibility, but there's no real sign of that so far.

Nice amateur tournaments are awesome. A pity if you qualified for ASL or get 1st/runner up you can't join anymore but I guess it's to make sure someone new wins.

i rather see a noname try to beat the likes of soma/scan than watch noname1 beat noname2. this is supposed to be a premier amateur competition, but its actually a handout event

It's an amateur competition. You aren't going to see a bunch of big name players. Because it's for amateurs. Who are not necessarily names you recognize. Since that's literally the point of the tournament. The tournament for amateurs. Not sure why this is so difficult to understand.
Also, as amateurs go, Ss1nz is not a noname. He's been in KCM Challenge and has qualified for multiple ASLs. I'm not familiar with the other person who has qualified, but that, again, is the point of the tournament.
What you would rather watch isn't what Afreeca wants to make. The tournament is doing what it's meant to.

Mighty rings a bell, or is this a different one?

Any background infos on Hani and CleanGirlLE?
Never heard of them.
|
hani played already in last ASL and in some online stuff like kcm challenge.
For CleanGirlLE (now changed their name to Dear) i only now that they had good results in online clan leagues that often feature high level amateurs and pros
|
ACS starts in 10 minute. 15:00 KST
|
Really cool game in the ro4 TvP series in game 2 on Ascension. The improvisation from both players was enjoyable to watch.

Thanks for posting! + Show Spoiler +The winner is wrong though, it should be soso (T). hani (P) was eliminated before the final match.
