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. | ||

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. ASL staff makes groups by hand. They try to make them so that the top players can qualify. They definitely put Horang2, Sea and Guemchi together for fun because they play together a whole lot. | ||

Just practiced offstream on the ladder for that Gamers8 event. After that he stopped playing, then got a job as a LOL coach (again). Then oh well... In case anyone wonders about Flash. He's just gone off the planet for the moment. | ||

And FanTa throwing away his natural talent yet again for some coaching smh... | ||

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

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. | ||

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  | ||

The top protoss players looking fire lately and the map pool seems pretty good for them.

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. | ||

On February 04 2024 19:09 TMNT wrote: 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) :\ | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||
