I see Light being Sky on Sparkle. There is a big misperception that Island Maps favor Protoss but that is not true at all. That might be true on Semi-Islands where toss can Recall. But on pure Island Maps, T is actually favored by 3% in TvP. I compiled all the old stats on TLPD. 3% advantage is a nice little advantage. And I think it is because Dropships are faster even than speed upgraded Shuttles. And to top it off, Goliaths range are so ridicuously long that it is hard to survive attacking Terran. I predict Light and Shuttle advance. But I hope Shine and Shuttle advance. | ||

Ladies and gentlemen I finally present a prediction only half as detailed as what the staff plans on predicting of each group. Group A The group starts with one of the strongest PVP'ers Shuttle on the island map Sparkle taking on Sky. Shuttle's journey into the tournament starts off shaky with a 1-2 loss in the group D Finals in Seoul against Miso. He earned his spot by defeating Sharp in the Busan Group E Finals 2-0 instilling that his PVT is still in top form. While Sky breezes through the Seoul Group K Finals dispatching Last 2-0. I choose Shuttle (with the more experience) as the favor to beat Sky easily with great shuttle and reaver control. Next matchup is against the macro juggernaut Light and the creative zerg Shine. Light's path starts in Seoul group L taking on Guemchi and beating him 2-1. While Shine in the Seoul group J takes a close series 2-1 vs Mini. Light has been spending much time practicing with Larva on sparkle with some success while shine has been a bit quiet. I give the game to Light's intensive turret placement, and BC/Vessel/Tank composition being the dominate late game army. The Winner's match takes place on Transistor with A weird double ramp for both players to defend. With much drop harass potential I give the win to Shuttle. Sky struggles in pvz, and I hope to see some creative play out of Shine. Light should easily win Final match with the superior macro and Shine being committed to being an observer for SC2. Shuttle>Sky Light>Shine Shuttle>Light Shine>Sky Shine<Light | ||

In other news, I'm cheering for Shine tonight! Can't wait to see wtf people are doing on Sparkle because I have no idea how to play that map competitively. EDIT: Managed to get the Afreeca stream working on Internet Explorer (gross), but I've already made the call. See you guys on Tuesday. | ||

While I do think light's tvz felt bad, I think it's mostly inexperience and I doubt he practiced it hard. Shuttle vs Sky first game was good, last game was ok. Shine vs Sky was shine playing well, especially with those lings from the back. Shuttle v light was light reacting to Shuttle's nexus first and it almost worked. The probe drill was really effective but it was close regardless. Sure, the games today could've been heavy macro game but 2 brand new weird maps added, including an island map. If you're expecting perfect play, nope, not gonna happen lol. | ||

Shuttle vs Sky first game was good, last game was ok. Shine vs Sky was shine playing well, especially with those lings from the back. Shuttle v light was light reacting to Shuttle's nexus first and it almost worked. The probe drill was really effective but it was close regardless. Sure, the games today could've been heavy macro game but 2 brand new weird maps added, including an island map. If you're expecting perfect play, nope, not gonna happen lol. Word. I sort of expected some intense early-mid stuff in most games just because of the weird new maps. Plus maybe pros are willing to play with pre-made cheeses on those maps, gambling against losing their most practiced timings and build orders for Sparkle and Transistor. And honestly, I don't think last game was so weird, just not eye-candy. | ||

Not the most exciting start to this ASL but some good games in between. The map choice for this season has been great. | ||

Props to him if he did that. And Light tried very hard to look like doing an agressive FD, though the SCV up front was a bit suspicious, at least from what I caught on stream. Gotta watch the VOD later. As Tastosis said, Shuttle probably didn't see the gas geyser. | ||

The games are basically one big all-in battle that is super suspenseful because that one battle decides who wins the game. How bored can you get in something that is only 5 minutes long? | ||

Also I don't understand how sparkle works, it looked like shuttle and light were winning at some point but they didn't close it out. For what I understand on island maps if you exchange army/shuttles for economic damage, due to the fact that you cannot follow immediately with more attacks, sometimes or most of the times or all of the times (not sure about that) the one who lost the army is in a worse position. | ||

Tastosis picked it up from last season. They had some good information on the new maps. However, they still had a lot of wrong calls on plays.

I didn't notice anything unusual. Usually people build their depot adjacent to the CC to let their workers spawn closer to the mineral line. | ||

The idea is that the workers don't spawn on the far side of the main. This has been discussed on previous pages. If I'm wrong, hopefully map-wizards of TL will explain this a lot better. | ||

In my previous comment on that same page, I pointed out that the stacking is only possible because of this khaydarin crystal feature on this map. Just play a game on the map to see for yourself.

I mean It'd be great if I were able to photoshop a fake screenshot like that, but alas, I am not... I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about Cryoc. I didn't follow the LR when the games were live, I just came here after I watched the vods. And I certainly don't read 14 pages of LR just to find the answer to a question that might or might not be there... Things are cleared up now though, so thanks. | ||

I haven't followed a BW tournament so adamantly in forever. Feels awesome haha. Also the meta is very refreshing. I was kind of on the fence about the maps, but they all bring something unique. Transistor's double ramp already coming into play! Hope to see Zergs keep performing well | ||
