Expect at least 4 out of 6 groups to be groups of death lol.
Wouldn't be surprised if some tier 1 players go home after the first round.

Btw how nice a distribution we have this time? Tier 1 2 3 all have 2P 2T 2Z

Sad about Shine and sSak not making it - two of the most fun and unusual players to watch in my opinion.
Ruin must have been really stressed to let Calm of all people ling-flood him twice, also a bummer.
Having Ample instead of Barracks feels strange.
A newcomer like Ivory is always a nice surprise.and of course with Rain, Sea and Effort we're in for a show.

Still feels like a Protoss season somehow which is good to me.

Not really. Now that I saw Sea's ASL points that put him in tier 3, it makes total sense.

It seems like the ASL pts accumulated by a player does not disappear over time, or the counting period is very long, unlike in other sports where it's only counted for the last few years. In Sea's group, Horang2 is the top seed since he played many ASLs before with decent results. If you look up the other groups, it's hard to find a player with better coefficient than him.

So maybe we can make a case for Sea to be deliberately put in the group with the weakest (inactive) seed, but it could also be totally his luck.

No Flash, no Fantasy, feelsbadman.
On the other hand having Rain and Effort is absolutely amazing! Gonna be a sick season for sure.
Sea being back after such a long time is also awesome to see, his finals vs flash was some great tvt, esp the battlecruiser game.

Crazy how stacked these qualifiers still are after all those years. Could start ASL with a Ro64 and still have an amazing lineup of players.

The line-up is reminiscent of the early ASL seasons. Groups were awesome overall. Effort's group was criminally understacked though.

Ivory, Leta, Calm and Sea seem to be the weakest four players based on online performance over the past year. Actually got nothing to base Ivory's online performance on because he's that much of an unexpected "low tier" qualifier that I can't find any data anywhere...

Ample, Free, Killer seem to be the next in line skill wise followed by Stork, Mong, Sharp and Shuttle. After that most players are all very close in skill to each other until you get to Snow who has been extremely dominant in online play. But Online is different from on stage. At this point in time Snow seems to be favored along with Light and Soma, Maybe HerO. But as last season showed anything can happen.

This is an insane lineup most of the best players of each race (only Flash, Larva and Shine missing), 8 out of 11 ASL winners as well as players from the past and a completely new guy.

Most importantly, my boy Leta made it, with Wraiths no less.

Wowow I was out of touch and didn't follow, this season looks wild even without our best terran comrades. Rain, EffOrt, Stork, Killer, Free, Leta and especially Sea!!! - I missed these guys. And very nice seeing JD competing.

rain is back?

with a little bracket luck (if he can avoid super defensive macro terran like light) i wonder if he could win ASL... or has he been playing too much LoL and other games?

maybe that world cup sc match where rain beat mini in the ace match was foreshadowing?

i need snow to take out light and then lose to rain, pls!

I saw he has been in a large number of spon matches and K leagues. Sea and Calm have been doing a lot more too. But I still rank them there based on what I have seen their winrates vs specific levels of players be. while I think they are weakest I dont think the gap between the skill tiers I gave are remotely significant. It is a very narrow gap.

These guys being the head of their respective SC university definitely helps getting them back to the competitive scene.

I believe Calm received ~20k usd in donation from his stream yesterday after qualifying for ASL. Mental.
