So since 2023 Soulkey has pocketed KRW 200M+ alone from Proleague and winning two ASLs. Surely he doesn't need money now?

Overall it was a pretty decent ASL imo. My biggest disappointment was that 9 out 11 PvZs we got in the playoffs were all ins. And even in this final 5/7 (if we count game 7 as well, since it is arguable there) of the games were BOs wins. I am not sure if this is what BW has turned into or it was just this tournament, but I was hoping for more "standard" games with an all in here and there

I'm going to go there and say it: ASL never had the best quality games to begin with. Much better quality and more exciting games are being played in other, smaller "starleagues", KCM and Ultimate Battle series as well as The Daily Proleague.

The amount of votes on the polls... Oh my... No1 here cares about ZvZ lmao

Edit: At the time I wrote this, well after the stream had ended, the polls only had 2-5 votes.

What do you think is the reason for this? Do you think that the preparation games on average became worse quality than the improvisation games?

there's a general feeling that players are more comfortable playing at home than in a booth.

Preparation or lack thereof probably has something to do with it, yes.. but II would say, that much lower pressure of playing offline and with no prestigious title on the line is the most obvious and probably the biggest factor in this happening.

own chair, own desk, own pc, the room temperature, lighting etc all affects ones comfort when playing. high comfort usually means better performance. Also the maps this season were really catered to all in plays and cheeses and more weird strategies.

If we get a map pool more like ASL13-15 we will likely see more quality games again. This ASL had some amazing games that were legit peak starcraft, but most games were cheese and all in Because zerg is just disadvantaged on this map pool with standard play. Pros I talked to did not like any of the maps beside Retro and Apocalypse.

Feels bad for hero, just one game short from getting crowned as champion, being so consistent all 17 seasons... But you gotta give to SK - no one showed this high bo5/bo7 preparation and tenacity, coming back from LLWWW. I hope SK will continue delivering, not go down like ZerO who also got back to back.

Basically the only thing exciting about this finals was it went to game 7. If all the games were rated as stand alones I don't think we'd see a single yes vote on the polls.

ZvZ is a travesty, an utterly broken mirror. And it has so much potential... Truly a disgrace. And finals like this is a disaster for the scene.

I like ZvZ but the games this finals were pretty boring. Worst finals maybe tied by ASL 15 finals.
