Should be a great season. I guess Flash will participate since he just decimated Soulkey in a couple of games in ProLeague. Nice to see Google putting their name on this. Their pixel phone is better than the IPhone, and also the only real phone you can make free of the bullshit corporate shit. (with GrapheneOS). | ||

Glad we're getting some big sponsors for ASL once again, hope this trend continues. Map pool is good. Hoping for some great games. | ||

They actually had problem with getting sponsors so they had to go public about needing sponsor for this asl which was resolved pretty fast and resulted in this | ||

I guess its always been this prize pool, but still seems weird given how pro-play BW is near impossible to make a living off of and you're way better off streaming. Nice to see a real brand repping it though. Korean players wanted this because theyre more about prestige of winning GSL and ASL players have been asked in the past about a more distributed prize pool and they always say they WANT it top heavy | ||

It is reassuring to see this as I was flabbergasted that they would forget about this achievement. I'm looking forward to a contested 5th in a row for Soulkey and then I hope he gets something special again. | ||
