Horang2 is an interesting case. He's still got decent ASL points, thanks to the earlier seasons, that justifies him as a top seed in day 2 and I believe they always used that "loophole" to make a popular streamer group of Horang2, Calm and Sea for some drama. And since he's still in decent shape compared to the other two, they use him to clear one part of the bracket and let him throw the final so Sea or Calm can enter. | ||

Free and Movie are both washed and only doing coaching these days. They just participated because everyone else did. In fact I believe if Free puts some hours in he would beat Skey.

While Free does a lot of coaching, it is inaccurate to say he only does coaching these days. Free still plays quite a good number of serious games. Skey is in the same tier of activity as Free, and has shown moments of brilliance so to speak. He has the same no mind game straight forward style free has. Free is just really not able to play the modern style which is much more mind game focused and exact timing attack centric. He is a very straight forward and predictable player. Movie is the bigger surprise because he is legitimately washed up and has absolutely no business taking down Mong. Mong has been playing a lot and looked to be in great form. | ||

Excited to see how Speed performs this time around. The newcomers all seem to have very hard groups. Only Skey has a slight chance by getting past JD and Stork imho. | ||

Winners and losers matches will be on Death Valley, Metropolis or Polestar (which means it will be on Metropolis or Polestar then). Decider will be on Dominator, Deja Vu or Radeon. I wonder how 910 decided to have group B like that. It's the first time we see 3 players of the same race in one group? Well I guess whichever group they put Speed in will end up the group of death anyway. Poor Hyun lol. | ||

predict: Mini Scan. Group B is a worst case scenario for Hyun. RoyaL, Speed Rush are equally strongnin TvT, but they ate all best at TvZ. Hyun is out of luck. Predict: RoyaL Speed. Group C Is Group for Best and Barracks. But BTS can surprise in TvZ and best either Mind or Barracks. Predict: Best Barracks. Group D Light but he got tough competition in Killer and Tyson being very active and in their best form currently. Bisu has only been laddering for 3 months now and might be out of shape vs top pros. predict: Light Tyson Group E Queen and Jaedong. Skey is worst at TvZ and Stork is semi-inactive. Group F Hero will get out. Ssak is in his best form ever currently and I fully expect him to get out. | ||

This statement/question made me curious so I looked it up and we had a triple T group in ASL 9 as well as 1, and a triple P group in ASL 5 as well as 3 (2 triple groups!).

How does he usually fare against Shuttle? It will be a tough group for him regardless, playing vs Mini first. There is practically no match history between Scan and Shuttle. Shuttle has to avoid brute force engages that cost him more than it would gain him. He tends to feel a need to attack when maxed, even if the terran army is in a very good sieged position. Shuttle also often fails to read small "tells" correctly or fails to make the correct conclusion based on what he sees. If shuttle can avoid such situations and also avoids losing track of his own units, which he often does and which often costs him said units, then shuttle should win. Overall shuttle does make better strategic concept choices than Scan, but Scan does know how to take advantage of all of Shuttles weaknesses, if shuttle displays them. another topic. I think they should only include the last 8 ASL seasons for the point tier system. Older than 8 seasons is not very relevant anymore in the present day "power rankings". Also about that. I got to make a new tierlist thread. | ||
