In the Liquipedia page, you can find the complete rosters of all the AHCL teams. Ex/pros and some well known amateurs will be hyperlinked to their respective LP page (though a number of them still need to be created). The rest (not hyperlinked) are all amateurs. You can also see the top 10 best players for the regular season. I think it's really cool how 8/10 of them were amateurs, and that the top spot is occupied by DAKS_Lt.Playoffs Round 1 Mini-Preview LoteM LoteM relies on their star amateur DAKS_Lt to carry them through, usually with amateurs aBySs_Lt , and UP_Lt tagging along for moral support. The expros, Native_Lt (Light) and Saber_Lt (Saber), are LoteM's secret weapons that have been employed on occasion. DAKS_Lt is LoteM's player of note, accomplishing two All-kills and nabbing the "Most Wins" award for the regular season. He's shown off a very aggressive, stylish playstyle in his games, making him one of the most entertaining amateurs to watch.NsP NsP is notable for being the only team to take a game off of NeOx this season, a team that has otherwise dominated the competition. NsP's roster features a diverse mix of strong expros, NsP_Brave , NsP_Zerg (Hogil), NsP_Lazy , and good amateurs like NsP_First and NsP_MinsU NsP_First could be described as an amateur version of Flash, with a focus on defense and macro play. His TvT is especially strong, taking out notable top players such as Mind and Shinee. Unlike Flash, however, he has a pretty good team backing him up.Prediction Tonight's result will depend on whether or not LoteM's Native_Lt (Light) and Saber_Lt are available tonight. Unfortunately, the two expros are very busy nowadays, and may not be able to play at all! If this worst-case scenario were to happen, it would essentially come down to whether or not DAKS_Lt can summon his inner Jaedong and perform another all-kill. Such a task would be difficult against NsP's deeper roster, who are sure to come with specific anti-DAKS strategies prepared. However, even if LoteM's expros were to show up tonight, NsP's Lazy poses a significant threat to everyone, including Native_Lt (Light). For LoteM, at best, tonight's series will be an uphill battle for them.NsP 5-3 LoteM
watch lotem just summons ssak ~_~ man this should be fun i hope i can catch this

For those of you who are wondering why there's a graphic covering the screen, Afreeca broadcasters cover the view of the game for the first minute or so to deter stream cheating in amateur leagues

holy jeez Honesty sure is holed up tight
a slightly dangerous point for lazy. honesty with 2-1 ups and moving out and lazy's gates about to come up now i guess it comes down to how good the stasis are
ooo circles vultures around to lazy's expo and takes out a bunch of probes good stufff from honesty this guy is good!
omg a stasis freezes 3 sci vessels and like 10 tanks and storms and goons and zeals break through the tank line. lazy imba!
10387 Posts
if you emp your own vessel, does that deplete it of its energy? aaaand Lazy totally destroy's Honesty's push
too much clumped tanks.. 1 stasis catching like 5~6 tanks..
huh like.. lazy is winning every fight but terran on 5 gas his units just keep coming out
