To be honest, might be the best player in SC right now, if we take into account the fact that zergs get free wins on some of these maps against P. (not particularly new but anyway) But I'm not surprised to see this. This is what happens when you have multitude of years of Terran-favored/protected mappools. The other races fall behind and everything becomes a conjuncture (like Soma drilling through Protoss for example). That dude that does the mappools is slowly killing the game. ASL in 2017-2021 was so incredible to watch. | ||

Mercury and Bifrost in the same map pool  | ||

Well maybe a good season of Snow murdering terrans but he’ll probably get stuck with a Zerg. | ||

ASL in 2017-2021 was so incredible to watch. Couldn't have said it better. 20 points is awarded to Ravenclaw. And on that note 50 points from Hufflepuff, i.e. everyone stroking Flash and Snow's carrot. Mini is way better than Flash. He's like Rocky Road ice cream. Flash is like a really great vanilla but he's still part of the Neapolitan. And then you have the people that go face first into the strawberry (Snow fans). Like all the strawb is gone and the vanilla and chocolate is still at the top wtf. Like not everyone loves Rocky Road but it's objectively better than Neopal. People just like consistency I guess, even if it's the quality of watery mayonnaise. W/e. It's sad indeed but Mini only has himself to blame after going only 4-5 to Light, falling to 2 cheeses as well, then dying to Mong and Saak a week later? I guess it was Friday the 13th or something. Maybe one day Mini will get angry again and make skin suits out of everyone. Until then I guess we have to root for Best's best bellyflop. Pretty sad state of affairs. AND ON THESE MAPS?? | ||

So here's a low-effort tier list, based on how I judge their current forms going into ASL. S: FlaSh - Rush - SnOw - SoMa A: Best - Bisu - Jaedong - Hero - Soulkey - Light - RoyaL - Queen - sSak B: Larva - Speed - BarrackS - JyJ - Mind C: Rain - Sharp - Mong - Scan - D: Shine - Ample - YSC - PianO E: Calm - Leta This is based on their all round forms. But players tend to specialize in a specific MU and have two or one weaker MU's, so don't take this as a prediction of who will win their groups. | ||

Big chance to win ASL if bracket works their way B tier: Ro16 ceiling. But some could make bracket phase C tier: Likely won't make Ro16 but good chance of an upset D tier: Not entirely ruling them out but would be surprised if they make Ro16 E tier: Fodder. | ||

Growing up in essentially farm land USA where you drive to a strip mall and that's it, Seoul is basically a series of transit stations with like an epic garden of life in between. Maybe Koreans who've lived here their whole life are like MAN, THIS PLACE SUCKS, etc. and I get that. But there is a functionality and intentionality that does not exist in many parts of the west. And I just think that's awesome. | ||
