I think due to worsening of relationship between Afreeca CEO and Blizzard because of the ruined team league season 2. We know Flash is really close with Afreeca CEO and I believe he is just taking a side. I would love if Lemmata has insights and can confirm/deny that. Anyhow for sure Flash did not skip KSL1 just because of the Asian games, don't buy that. | ||

he showed his professionalism by sticking to his commitment rather than reneging on his promise. please don't actually believe anything until a trusted source confirms/denies a players participation. the blizzard-afreeca relationship speculation is complete bullshit. relations between the two couldn't be any more stronger. on a more positive note, KSL Season 2 Map Updates! In: Neo Aztec, New Heartbreak Ridge, Benzene, Eddy Out: Gladiator, Blue Storm, Fortress SE, Polaris Rhapsody | ||

I personally don't think the current situation is as simple as that, there are other factors at play, some of which Flash has already mentioned on stream. Flash has mentioned that it might be difficult for him to perform up to his own expectations in two separate tournaments simultaneously given the amount of toil his body has suffered thus far. It is the kind of attitude he has previously shown towards other tournaments, because like a boxing champion that wants to hold on his championship belt for the longest possible time, Flash does not want to tarnish his legacy by entering tournaments if he does not feel he can manage his time or condition properly. There are also rumours of Jaedong giving up his seed for the second season of the KSL, perhaps due to similar reasons. These players are worn out after years of inhuman dedication towards a single craft, often at the cost of their personal health. Even Larva has forfeited his spot for ASL Season 6, and the dude is one of the youngest ex-professionals the current streaming scene has. Now, I am entirely open to the assumption that these players are restrained by their obligations (contractual or otherwise) towards AfreecaTV, but it could also be that these players are just tired, and want to limit their ventures into the competitive realm at a bare minimum, so that their lives can be more leisurely and not entirely dedicated towards excellence. It is their decision, and we can guess their true intentions all we want, but the fact of the matter is that there is more Brood War content due to the existence of the KSL, and more competitive Brood War is always good. Sometimes, player's health, personal drive, or contractual obligations does not allow them to match the increase in the opportunity given. That is definitely a shame, but it seems like for Flash at least, there are multiple factors at play. | ||

I always remember Andromeda having epic macro games but I was fairly new to the game then so I don't know if I didn't realize some negative aspects of the map? Because we haven't seen it back. Python and Longinus are a bit unbalanced maps that I feel are played out though. | ||

This may be a really dull question but do you think if that's okay if a really amateur player registers for KSL (currently I'm a D level player, and started playing ranked games a few weeks back)? I know I'm going to be beaten but when Artosis said during a commentary that he encourages people to register it seemed a great thing to me. I can't really find any tournaments anyway so I thought why not? At least I could see what it's like from close. Or I shouldn't bother them with my skill level? What is your opinion about this? (please don't make bad remarks regarding my skill, I haven't played too much 8) ) Thanks! G O F O R I T  | ||

I'm so glad to see Blue Storm and Polaris Rhapsody out, though. There are better two-player maps. | ||
