I agree Stork is mostly done, unfortunately for him Protoss is by far the worst race atm and he doesn't seem to have the multitasking to keep up. My top 4 players atm are Royal, Light, Snow, Hero. Then again I am just an spectator. | ||

Leta over stork would be awesome but odds in favor of Stork. Barracks odds over Hm but Hm can have surprisingly high peaks. Sacsri vs Piano could go either way. YSC vs Mind I favor YSC for his micro but mind for his game sense. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Terran [12]: RoyaL (former champion) Rush Ample BishOp JyJ Light Sharp sSak Hiya Mong Mind BarrackS Zerg [9]: hero Soulkey Action Soma ZerO HyuN Shine Jaedong Sacsri Protoss [7]: Best Bisu Mini Snow Shuttle Ruin Stork --- Brace for TvTs, and someone please use these stats to call out Artosis on his "P strong T weak -_-" protests. If it's true that there was little thought put into the seeding, that would explain the weird groups. sSak apparently had a completely free group with no known names, while Stork/Leta/Killer had to battle it out in another. Kind of shitty quals this season overall. | ||

Honestly if you strip the other races down they're not more healthy either, ASL usually ends up with high terran population and most of them end up being fodder wins for better zerg and protoss players. Terran really only has Light Rush and Royal. Zerg may be healthier in that aspect but most of the players forms are like phases of the moon, they have either ridiculous hot streaks which break into constant middling results mostly due to zvz eliminations. Especially true for zero soulkey and i basically described Soma. | ||

Known names who went but lost in qualifiers, and how: + Show Spoiler + Rain Did not sign up. EffOrt Did not sign up. Pusan Lost 1-2 to an unknown player on day 1 (이호열), and then lost 0-2 to Protoss player Rock on day 2 (who was in turn promptly wrecked by Jaedong). Piano Lost 1-2 to an unknown player on day 1 (강현우), and then he beat Modesty on day 2 before losing 0-2 to Sacsri in the finals. ggaemo beat Calm, but then lost 0-2 to Zerg player ZerO in the finals of day 1 (thus ZerO qualified for ASL), then lost to a Zerg player called Yerim2 on day 2 in the semifinals. I didn't see the games, but ZvZ is volatile. HyuN eventually beat Yerrim2 2-0 in the finals to advance to ASL. Basically Yerim just played ZvZ gatekeeper for ggaemo before falling to Hyun of all people. I feel bad for Gasp Zerg, but man... not a good showing. Calm is barely notable these days, but he played and lost, first to ggaemo and then to Chinese player Mihu. free lost 0-2 to Mong on day 1, and lost 1-2 to Zerg player ZeLoT on day 2. RIP dragon legacy. Horang2 lost 0-2 to Light on day 1, then he got 2-0'd by an unknown player (김성민) on day 2. 김성민 proceeded to make it all the way to the finals only to get dupstered by sSak. Movie is barely a notable player any more, but he went 0-2 against Protoss player SRiCH on day 1 and then 0-2 against Scan on day 2. Scan lost 1-2 to sSak on day 1 (the whole group was just a sSak/Scan/JyJ TvT slugfest), and then lost 0-2 to Shine on day 2. BaBy / TY lost 1-2 in the finals of day 1 against Best. He then lost 1-2 in the finals of day 2 against Hiya. Not bad for someone who hasn't been practicing, but also not surprising. Leta lost 0-2 to Soma on day 1, and 0-2 to Stork on day 2, both times in the finals of his group. Tough luck. Foreign players Dewalt and Ziggy also signed up. Dewalt lost to Soma and Ruin (oof, tough matches), and Ziggy lost to Mong on day 1 and some unknown player on day 2. Liquipedia also says that Last played on day 1, but this is incorrect. It's just someone with the same name as him. | ||

Last went 0-2 in his first game on day 1 against a player called Tank 박단원, and while he apparently signed up for day 2, the brackets don't show him playing any games. I saw this on liquipedia also but it needs to be corrected. 김성현 is a very popular Korean name and here's just a player with the same name as Last. He's in civil service now and he never made any attempt to play competitive BW since his retirement. Also Last even with one arm available wouldn't lose in the first round of the qualifier haha | ||

Prior to season 14 I'd say you'd be sleeping on JyJ with that comment but currently I feel he's fallen a little bit and is now closer to Mong, Ssak and Sharp and further away from Royal, Rush and Light. For zerg I am surprised Effort didn't play Qualifiers. He has been performing well in proleagues. | ||
