Round 1 of the 2016 SK telecom Proleague ended today with the Afreeca Freecs securing the last available spot in the playoffs. They were up against the wall in their last match against MVP Chickenmaru, as a single map loss would have meant the end of their run and the qualification of SAMSUNG Galaxy in their stead.
However Afreeca were able to go undefeated with Super, Curious and Bomber winning their games against GuMiho, DeParture and Forte respectively. SAMSUNG even helped MVP practice for this match, as Coach Stork stated in a short telephone interview during the match, but in the end this wasn’t enough to advance into the playoffs.
The Afreeca Freecs thus join KT Rolster, Jin Air Green Wings and SK Telecom T1 in the Round 1 Playoffs. As usual, expect matches to be held on Monday, Tuesday and Saturday next week.

Join us next week on Monday at the usual time to see the Afreeca Freecs take on KT Rolster in Match 1 of the Round 1 Playoffs.

see impact vs rogue in yesterday's JAG vs SKTT1. He used the same build and could have won if he hadn't been outplayed so much in mid and late game.
So this build on prion is totally a thing.
Edit : sucks for MVP, we don't need another Prime team.

Congratulations to Afreeca Freecs~! I feel good for them that they advanced to playoffs. Now they can redeem themselves for that walkover loss during last year's SPL where they couldn't make the match because of a traffic jam.

herO got multiple warnings because he failed at setting up his hotkeys. One time that lead to a 25 minute delay because he was blaming it on the hardware and they replaced it only to then find out it was herO's mistake all along.
Well, I am sad, TY lost his game, because I was looking forward to seeing Jin Air play on all Monday, Tuesday and Saturday (:-)) ... but what can we do ... only two days remaining ...
