It's not completely sure wether that was Modesty or not as there is a player with the same name in Group 4

Good point. I wouldn't be surprised if it was modesty though, his vP was nothing to write home about compared to his vT.
Oh damn, this PvP is tense. Best had a great hold but then lost every probe in his main to reavers EDIT: and now it's over, best up 1:0

Unlikely that'll ever change. Koreans tend to know players by proper names rather than handles, so our only option is to try and match up the brackets and google the korean names to try and find out who they are. The matchup on stream is currently Calm(z) vs. Grape(p) I think
oh my godddd+ Show Spoiler + eonzerg and bakuryu won their first round games, the winner of their match plays flash
Why do they take so many breaks? I don't know when they are even coming back to cast the next game.. And who is the genius behind the casters having to hold microphones the entire time.. Seems a bit retarded.

damn, wish we could have seen the games. Meanwhile this 40 minute PvZ looks nearly over for JD
Oh that was JD? He kinda sucks now
Flash makes it look so easy.
That factory move was amazing, simple as it is
I am feeling retarded but I cant for the life of me find the official stream/vod
It says Jaedong qualified on stream, not huro
Why Soma winner of group 9? Didn't he already qualify through ACS?
happy to see guemchi and sacsri advances
who are the T: Z on the stream right now ? Anyone ?
I thought Huro beat JD with that huge archon swarm. I'll check it again my bad.

I was to busy editing I didn't see. I fixed it though. Glad JD got through.
Who's the Z now? He's literally 500APM mid-game.
I think ti's Hyuk but not sure.

Hyuk
Is it me or hyuk is playing quite good ? Just saw the 2nd game of his finals against Mong and its far from over but im actually impressed Hyuk is pulling game like this (so far)
I still dont get why Soma played today. He was already qualified through ACS..
YES! Mong qualifies over hyuk 2-1
Not only Mong is playing quite weak in the past ASL but im also quite impressed by Hyuk's form today. Id rather having him instead of Mong. Closes game so far, may the better player win ! :D edit: Mong advances T_T
Main reason i rooted for Mong was for racial balance Miso beats soulkey 2-0 in group 12 finals

why not lol? theres no rule saying a seed player can't play in qualifiers
Players that lost today that id like to see advances to the RO28 Jaehoon Shine Killer ByuL Rush Light Calm Hyuk Nal_rA : -) 815 Soulkey Also, not a big fan but these players might as well qualify through the next day. Ample JyJ ggaemo Hyun Modesty

You don't think its weird that a qualified player participate in the qualifiers? A shame for the players that got knocked out because of him..

well.. he is taking that place from some other dude that otherwise would qualify.. soo.. yeah, that's a bit of a shitty move.. shouldn't the other dude get the seed if Soma is already in, then?

ACS winner pits you directly in the finals of a qualifier not directly in the ASL

I'm not sure how the seed from ACS works - He would surely need to take one of the 24 qualifier spots anyway since you can't have 25 people playing in a ro24. If he was already in the tournament he wasn't really taking anybody's spot by showing up to qualify anyway

pretty sure he gets a asl ro24 seed, its clearly stated in the acs page. if he wins the qualifier as well then the seed is up for grabs in a smaller qualifier later, mini did the same stuff when he was in the army.
did zero not try to qualify for ASL? or snow for that matter

IIRC ZerO has done this before where hes skipped the harder seoul qualifiers for busan and gwangju
So someone like Soulkey who lost this time, he can still just go to another one and get in, right?
rigged.... why eon got to play against flash t_t
Gonna be sick if Light fails to qualify two seasons in a row
Constant reminder that "MISO" always qualifies doubtless of who he is playing. Qualifying master.
how could eon lose to flash? what a disappointment

Yes. IIRC last season there were a bunch of network problems at the first qualifier so Larva just left and then went to the next one to qualify.

Light sucks and will just lose to Rain at some point in the tourney
I felt sad that hyuk lost... He shouldnt have gone 2 hatch muta allin style that last game he had much better macro than Mong.
Group E: Larva advances. YESS does nobody else think this is the best news so far?
Light doesnt suck - his last series against Rain was totally epic. Totally agreed about Hyuk , i hope he try to qualify today and/or in Busan. Definately someone who deserve a spot.
Excited about every player who's qualified so far, and a lot of the standouts that didn't qualify will definitely make it in Busan or Gwangju. And since they added so many new maps to ASL, the wacky imbalanced new ones don't seem like they'll have an inordinate impact. Shaping up to be a great season so far. A bit bummed that neither Eon or Baku made it, but that's to be expected. Qualifiers is like being thrown to the sharks.

ZeLoT quaflies! GL to Zero in Busan, he's been playing so solidly lately, he definitely should make it in Rush vs. Snow on nal_ra's stream, I think Rush just took the 1st game? It was hard to see.
I think Rush won 2-0 according to challonge.
hm, I'm not seeing it update on there for some reason. wait, they're playing game 2 of rush vs. snow on the main stream right now so I think that had to have been game 1 on FS
where can i see who is playing?
Someone must have put the wrong thing into challonge then fixed it. Said Rush won 2-0 earlier.
^ here We want to see English more, we need to do more for StarCraft and AfreecaTV. You know?
looooool at rush managing to harass both snow's nat and main with a 1hp dropship
1 corsair built while the fleet beacon is morphing and all those probes wiuldn't have died
supposedly anti-flash player loses 0-2 to rush. yes give the trophy to flash already
This is looking grim for snow, but hooray for another terran at last
it shouldnt be that difficult to write english names for afreecatv. this is just ignorant.

I doubt they think anybody outside of korea would be interested in qualifiers, hence no english cast
I Believe this is the finals of group E. Hyuk vs PianO
