I believe Calm received ~20k usd in donation from his stream yesterday after qualifying for ASL. Mental. Damn that's so awesome. I loved Calm in the kespa days and it's so cool that he has such a big fanbase in Korea  Looking forward to seeing him plan a really brain-zerg style tricky build that he will probably fail to successfully pull off in the Ro24 | ||

Sea specifically disbanded his previous team after he(and his team) got smacked around by Shuttle and his team. He got ridiculed for it by his fans. He wasn't playing brood war seriously enough. Since then he's been serious again. | ||

Terrans - 7 wins Zerg - 4 wins Protoss - 3 wins Combinations in the final: TvsP - 5 times TvsZ - 4 times TvsT - 3 times PvsZ, ZvsZ, PvsP - 1 time each Therefore, we need a final: PvsZ and the victory of the protoss! Rivo, rivo, rivo, lego, plego, plego)) | ||

Rivo, rivo, rivo, lego, plego, plego)) So actually in premeire starleagues (OSL/MSL/ASL) there have only ever been 3 times that a protoss beat a zerg in a final: Grrr and garimto winning the first 2 OSLs in 2000 and then Bisu beating Savior in 2007. Besides that every time there was a PvZ finals the zerg won. And honestly it feels like those 1st 2 don't even count since meta and map design was sooo different back then lol. | ||

This time the number of pros involved is less than the last time (when almost everyone was involved), but we don't know if more will join later. For anyone curious, here are the list of current university/academy/club (whatever it's called): - UKKZ, lead by Leta - CSWU, lead by Calm & Action, with Effort, 815, Hyun, Miso (Cadenzie is here too) - JSA, with Shuttle, Ruin, Killer, Ample - BSU, with GoRush, Shine, Sharp, Free, Pusan - NZU, with Ssak, Shinee - GSU, with Piano, Motive, Beast, Zelot, Bishop - DP, lead by Best, Hyuk and Royal - YB, lead by Sea, with Rush, ggaemo, Stork, Scan, Tossgirl - CGU, lead by Terror, with Soma, Mong - LC, lead by Rain, with Soulkey & Tyson ... and there are also a couple more with less known players If you look at it, the top pros (like Major Proleague players) are not as involved as the last time, except for a few. They are earning more than enough via streaming and proleague. But this model largely benefits the mid to low tier pros in that now they can participate in team events and coaching and increase their popularity, all of which leads to higher incomes. Guys like Rain, Calm, Sea, Terror and Shuttle are key in this movement as they are both ex-pros and very popular variety streamer. Their involvement alone have helped bringing hunder of thousands of dollar into the scene (and their pocket as well :D) | ||

Or more of just a sort of "for fun" streaming event thing? I think the main goals are just to create streaming content and have fun, while also maintain/increase BW popularity in Korea. Of course money is an incentive as well. You do have new generation of players "training" in these universities though, like Skey the current ACS champion. But without the crazy training regime enforced during Kespa, it's largely their own effort to improve, still. But at least with this university scene, they earn money playing BW, compared to the past when it was really hard for non top pros. | ||

![[image loading]](https://stimg.afreecatv.com/NORMAL_BBS/7/15524207/244164c89693b831b.png) Some brutal groups. As I said, tier 1 and tier 2 players going home after the first round is to be expected. | ||

Dear gentlemen progamers. Please. show some new options for build orders. I understand that good money is at stake as a prize and there is no time for experiments, you need to use tactics that have been proven over the years. But still. We all love this game for its variety, which has been lacking lately. Thx | ||
