What happen to Fantasy? Is he no longer active on ladder or Proleague? fantasy was never active in proleague. he laddered from january to july, won Saudi event and moved to another project. During this time he did one stream announcement.

Anyone knows the date of ro24 group draw?
|
Is Sea's group rigged, like how the hell it's same opponent as last ASL qualifiers? He better play like he used to do this time , it was really painful to watch his previous games when he played like degen. And ofc gogo BaBy, really excited to see what he can show.

For me he's GOAT of psi storms, no one can storm like he does since JangBi left.

Guess no Flash for ASL 
also slim picking for toss as usual. hope Barracks gets thru the Ro24 though!!!

They definitely put Horang2, Sea and Guemchi together for fun because they play together a whole lot.

In case anyone wonders about Flash. He's just gone off the planet for the moment.

I wonder how much FlaSh being absent decided by his scandal or injury as he stated last time. And FanTa throwing away his natural talent yet again for some coaching smh...

Do you guys know Kwanro played the qualifiers?!?!?!?!

Coaching an LCK league of Legends Pro team probably nets him more job security and money than streaming and BW competing ever will.

No queen this ASL, shocker.
Lot of Terrans in this ASL, hopefully Protoss gets a boost from that (Snow reavers incoming).
Not a lot of quality Zergs that I would consider favorites to win this tournament compared to the number of quality Terran and Protoss players. Will be interesting to see what they can do.

Lack of Queen/soma/effort leaving zerg lineup looking weak, but then when I look at performance of top terrans in KCM and Proleague lately they all seem to be performing pretty poorly lately besides light and sharp (even light doing worse than usual). The top protoss players looking fire lately and the map pool seems pretty good for them.
But if the last 3 years of ASL taught me anything it's that it's totally pointless to try to make predictions haha. Very likely lots of upsets will happen in the Ro24 and Ro16. Should be fun to watch

Speaking of predictions, is the old LB season over right? Who won and do we get another one ?

I got curb stomped lol. Dewalt took a game off his guy at least. I've hit SSak on ladder and he's fking crazy good. Definitely deserves to be in ASL but I'm sad Rain didn't qualify. I hope he gets in tomorrow. Just being able to compete there makes you a winner man, GJ.

I don't know a lot about the amateur scene but by the look at the qualifier brackets, there were almost no low-tier fresh protosses that made it really deep. It's harder to reach this final level as Protoss. The 6 7 pros you talk about all have something special about them talent wise: the GOAT Protoss SC1, the GOAT Protoss SC1+SC2 combined, best macro Toss, best Carrier user, best Reaver user, best early game and knockout phase player, and Shuttle. For Protoss, hard work alone is not enough. Bit tongue in cheek but maybe there's some truth to it. The most fresh Protoss that can break to this level is probably Brain but he no longer plays standard maps. But he's also a special talent: the GOAT of fastest.
I've seen really good play in KCM from Ruin, YSC, Motive, and Mighty but they hardly ever qualify for the Ro24. I thought they were at least on or near on par with players like Zelot/Speed/Beast/Shuttle/Sea but I guess not (or just always get unlucky brackets) :\

Zero's really gone downhill ever since getting married and having a kid (understandably so). He's probably tied for 6th best Zerg now, behind Soulkey, Hero, Effort, Soma and Action, probably being tied with JD. He hasn't done well in the daily proleagues in ages, and not qualifying is probably the lowest point he's been
I'm not surprised by Rain getting 0-2'ed by sSak. I feel like he's constantly overrated overall, because of the fact that his PvT is pretty bad, probably even worse than Bisu's. His ASL run will probably end if he encounters any top 5 Terran, but if he goes only against Ps and Zs, he has a shot to make it far

Is TY still playing SC2 or switched completely?

"even worse than bisu" dude Bisu has #4 Best PvT in the world lol
If rain actually practiced he'd be on par with mini in PvT but as far as I can tell he basically just plays a few games a week for K-league and that's it? Spends most if his time streaming other games. Pretty impressive that he still qualified for ASL without practicing much assuming that's the case (I could be wrong though). In comparison most of the proleauge players are streaming/playing BW for ~8 hours a day 6 days a week.

Not sure about JD placement there, he has step up his game a lot lately, will be interesting watching him more.
