Is there a way to watch ASL games spoiler free on VODs? I opened the VOD today and its 90m long for the entire match and you know its gonna be a 3-0 or the very least you will know who wins the last game ahead of time.

Try installing plugin called "Anticipation" for Youtube. It will disable the time progress bar and you will only be able to watch videos from beginning and move forward/backward using left/right key.

yeah some guy made an add-on for firefox that hides the progress bar, I think it's this?

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/anti-spoiler-for-videos/

edit: ^ definitely that, it specifically lists afreecaTV as being spoiler-free too

I suppose Flash's fast-expo would be 'standard' for a semi-island map. Then again, Flash took the expo at his third, rather than the gas-less natural - which is rather 'greedy'?

Unbelievable play out of Flash. His response in game 1 was amazing. I really though Rush was going to take that but Flash knew exactly what to do, despite not scouting the proxy factories. I feel bad for Rush and hopefully Flash didn’t break him.

I mean, he might've been the best Terran in history, but it'd suck to lose to him playing Random either way. Especially in a tournament.

you could see Snow was kinda handling it well, but Rush looked like he was about to throw up right there.
Also, that evil laughter from Flash. Its the type of stupid laughter you can't control when you pranked someone and it totally worked ...

Game 1 wasn't lucky. Flash did a lot of little things exactly right to make it look easy. Even not getting that Bunker up at the eggs might have been a difference maker.

Game 3 was lucky.


lucky? maybe, I mean he was looking for the rax and he found it.

If soma can beat snow and Soulkey loses... I can see Flash winning this tournament. It would go down as one of the greatest esport accomplishments of all time. Let's go Flash!

Still can't believe hundreds of thousands are watching LoL instead of flash flexing on the entire scene. Yeah I get faker is good but damn... He is Nowhere near the dominance and skill of flash. Not even fking close.

Edit: I know that faker ain't even in worlds


Any reason you think Soulkey would have a better chance than Queen in beating Flash? Seems to me Queen is playing better than Soulkey right now.

If you don't like the addon which the other people suggested: It's not 100% safe, but I managed to catch Flash's last two series spoiler-free because they actually added five VoDs for each series, all with a plausible lengths but the last two duds, to not spoiler people.

Just go to the Korean Stream via the link in the official TL-thread for the match in question (or by your method of choice).
Click on the icon in the bottom-left of the stream to "go to Blog", then proceed to the VoD-section. (Guess you know that...)
Pick the first VoD of the series (furthest down and to the right, they put the players' faces in the thumbnail).
(Try to not look at the VoD-lengths if you can, just to be extra save. As you mentioned, there is that 90min full-show-VoD, but I think you can avoid glimpsing at it quite well. Same goes for the viewer-numbers, as the last games will have less, obviously, if the series didn't go the distance.)

Its pretty crazy. I know the PvP's and that ZvT we saw were not the most amazing macro games and there was some feeling that he got kind of lucky against Snow.

Just think about the other side of it though.. how many games do they have to play before Snow wins 2 maps TvT vs Flash? 100? 1000?

Rush PvT vs Flash too.

I still think its unlikely he wins. Snow is dangerous but doable, but can he really beat soma then another Z (probably Queen) back to back? That seems almost impossible.

I really really want to see his PvZ. I've seen one streamed game and it looked quite good but we don't really know. He has to be able to reliably win PvZ vs those top Z's to have a real chance to win I think. Hes probably what 25% chance to win a ZvZ? And 60-70% to win TvZ? (maybe a bit lower vs Queen). So he needs his PvZ to be at least 50-55% vs the best Z's in the world to have a reasonable chance I think.

Either way I can't wait to watch it haha.

The only match ups he has not played this ASL are ZvP, ZvZ, PvZ, TvZ.

If Snow knocks out Soma then Flash can possibly tick off the ZvP on the way to the finals.

Then some combo of Queen/Larva/Soulkey in the finals lets him clean up with ZvZ, PvZ, TvZ.

There you have it: Flash could win ASL10 while winning every possible match up. THAT would be crazy
