All depending on bracket really. Well unless Soma can defy the odds. lol JYJ going to win back-to-back ASLs without ever playing a protoss in either tournament I was impressed with Ivory's play against rush even though he lost. Rush just has impeccable push timings, he's a total beast. Hoping to see more of Ivory in the future. | ||

Also it was kind of interesting that today was the first PvP we've had all season, and we got 2 of them! They'll probably be the last PvPs we'll see until ASL 17. Stork I feel like was playing sloppy (or at his level?), he got his army surrounded and split in every single game today. At least he pulled out the carriers, also probably the last we'll see of them until ASL17 since Snow is out too. Bisu not going DTs felt kind of uncharacteristic, I remember last season he basically DT rushed out of his group, but it was much less stacked. Ivory put up a decent fight! His muta micro in G1 was pretty good, I think he was probably hoping to carry that into his losers match, but got stonewalled. Makes me wonder if he's pretty good at ZvZ too. Hope to see more of him! | ||

I'd rather that than spreading them in 3 groups to all get eliminated. Meanwhile, JYJ will make a group of him + 3 Zergs and cruise through into Ro8. | ||

So Best can pick Bisu and Bisu can immediately pick Mini afterwards and the last ofthe group will probably be Soma or Soulkey. So here we go, 3 P in 1 group, at least 1 will go through.

Just give us endless TvZs. tvz has become a bit stale with the dominance of valk builds imo. gone are the days of mech switches, grueling mass muta games, 1-1-1... i mean, i think mutas were p. much broken before remastered fixed their splash damage. but now i feel tvz is just... ok, there was one engage with valks. did the terran hit his shots or did the zerg snipe the valks? ok, now the game snowballs from here. gg how can soma "figure out" valks and create a build that counters them? in the hands of a capable player like light, fantasy as he recently showed in the gamers8 legends tourny, or flash it can look clinical, boring even (if the zerg went muta) less viable builds = less dynamic match up. | ||

TBH i am not sure why Stork is playing ASL at all??? He said he would retire after season 14, but for 2 seasons in a row now he returns with to fill the ''carrier sponge fodder spot'' (i respect him a lot though, he's one of my all time favorites). If you discount Stork's legendary 2005-2009 years, Stork had his best ''veteran'' moments back in 2019/2020 when he smashed Jeadong, Last and Best (all 3-0 in KSL3) only to be stopped by Mini. And the following ASL9 he got into RO8, where he was stopped by Light in a close series between them. After that Stork's performance dropped significantly. Bisu on the other hand, he is like that variable star who sometimes looks like a champion in writing and sometimes like a looser. Bisu is still a legit championship contender. With Rain, Snow and Light gone he has a huge chance to win ASL this season. So it's better for the tournament that Bisu advanced over Stork's carcass. Very impressed with Ivory. If that guy managed to beat Ssak and Soma to get into ASL, he is so legit! Both his matches looked very impressive (unlike Beast and 815 who were just fucking cheesing their asses in previous ASLs, because they knew they had no chance in standard games). I believe we do not have a favorite to win ASL anymore. Soma, Action, Hero, Soulkey, Mini, Bisu, Royal, JYJ, Rush, Mind - all are pretty equal in combat shape in my eyes. Snow and Light were the strongest players by FAR, so i ain't calling anything now. | ||

One guy shouldn't be in charge of all that. And next season Flash and fantasy are likely to participate as well lol. Fantasy might not be champion material by next season but flash always is... | ||
