Stop it. Your (1)(2)(3) are not even points to be considered. Learn to think before posting. Also this is not the topic for it.

Pretty bad group draw for Snow. C, D, and especially F seem like the most interesting sets.


Why? This is easy win for Snow.

His PvZ is shaky. He'll beat Hiya no doubt, but then has every chance to lose to JD, and then lose to one of Shine's tricky builds.

Yeah, this was basically my reasoning. A Bo1/3 vs unpredictable Zergs is bad news for Snow. It's his worst matchup by far--I mean, he lost to Ggaemo last season. I'm always rooting for Snow, it's just not the smoothest way to start things out.

Because the tiers are done by ASL points, which measures historical performance and not recent form, we have some unbalanced groups

Tier 1 are all good and Tier 4 are all weak, so the imbalance comes from Tiers 2 and 3


Groups B and F are very weak with weak Tier 2 and Tier 3 players-

B: Shuttle is a weaker Tier 2 player (only Tier 2 mainly because of his ASL 1 win) and Barracks a weaker Tier 3 player

F: Mong is 2nd weakest Tier 2 player (only Shine worse) and Horang2 is weakest Tier 3 player


Contrast that to Groups A and C that are tough due to stronger Tier 2 and 3 players-

A: Best (best Tier 2 player by far) and Sacsri (underrated Tier 3, once beat Flash in ASL)

C: Sharp (probably tied for 2nd best Tier 2 player) and Royal (Tier 3 player who is better than most Tier 2 players)


Probably would have been more balanced to switch Best and Shuttle and switch Sharp with Mong


(also they put JD in a group with the weakest Tier 2 player (Shine) and a Tier 1 protoss (Snow), this is designed for JD to progress LOL)

Not all tier 4 are weak. Free is at least equally strong as most tier 2 players. In fact if he beats Rush to top the group it wouldn't be a surprise.

Getting back into watching ASL as I am going to Korea in September and may be able to attend live games.

Any idea if the studios are open to the public for ASL matches and how do I get there?

.Will you also be casting for ASL14?
Nyoken:
Yes I should be casting ASL with Scan again in the next few weeks. Looking forward to the games and the return of some old crazy maps like Arkanoid. In the past I would have not been happy to see a weird map like Arkanoid but Terran players (Light in particular) have pulled out wins with wraith + marine medic play even versus Protoss so I'm looking forward to see some weird strategies.

It's always exciting to see ASL groups posted. There are just so many good players.
May the BeSt man win.

Basically, maps for 2 players favor Protoss, maps for 3 players favor Zerg, maps for 4 players favor Terran.

I think:

(2)Butter 2.0c, (2)Odyssey 1.0, (4)Neo Arkanoid 2.2 favor Protoss
(3)Neo Sylhpid 3.0, (4)nemesis 1.0 favor Zerg
(4)Allegro 1.1c, (4)VermeerSE 2.1 favor Terran

Alternatively, here is a link where anyone can go look up the actual stats on the maps, instead of relying on asinine opinions based on strange mental gymnastics.

From Bisus stream during KCM finals: Butter 2.0 change at natural expansion makes 9 pool speed incredibly hard to block for toss. Odyssey is just a zerg map... I agree for nemesis being good for zerg, lurker drops and contains look so deadly against protoss and tarran has hard time preventing 4 gas zerg. But Arkanoid and Sylphid depend heavily on starting spawns related to balance. It actually seems to be okay for tarran if you get horizontal spawn against z or t. Cross is obviliously nasty in tvp (Carrierprinter brrr) but othervise even zvt is not too bad. For some reason JD and Soulkey seem to prefer hydralurk in Araknoid instead of ultraling.
it's not just a music it's something else
