Hell yeah man. This is my Korean Swan Song. According to Naver translate, that means it's my 백조의 노래. Something tells me that doesn't translate super well.

This is going to be a great event, with a really strong lineup, maybe even stronger than a typical Code S Ro16. Group B is similar to GSL Code S Season 3 Groups B/D, with Cure/herO swapped in for Zest/Dear, thus is more difficult. In Group A, FanTaSy has a harder path to advance in this event than he did in GSL S3 Grp A (were he came in 3rd), with Solar only a step behind Dark, but Zest >> SpeCial, and Gumiho >> KeeN.
And don't forget the great casting sure to be on offer from CreightonOlsen!

Day 2 starting in 45 mins!

FanTaSy has a harder path to advance in this event than he did in GSL S3 Grp A (were he came in 3rd) Tough day at the office for the belated-gg maestro, 1-4 in maps to finish 4th. Most impressive for me was Gumiho's solid play over the last four maps of the day to close out the group.
RagnaroK won group D in the recent Code S (picked early by seeded Classic), while the other three failed to advance to the Ro8. Is this Zerg on the rise and really the best player in this group? I expect Classic and herO to be looking for revenge after they both came in 4th in their GSL groups, and Cure should probably be the favorite of the four. This one is really hard to predict.

My pleasure, sudete. Huge thanks to the pros for playing, AlphaX for organizing and coordinating, the sponsors that put the cash forward, and of course, everyone who tuned in! If any one of those pieces weren't in place, this stuff would fall apart.
Great tourney, and I'm looking forward to more of them once I am back up and running. <3

Cheers Creighton, eagerly await your return to the wonderful world of niche eSport casting if you can manage it.
Afreeca VODs are really temperamental for me, does anyone have any tips to get them to run smoothly and not buffer all the time? Has plagued me on multiple desktop browsers and the iOS app as well.
Have got through some of this action though not quite finished, good stuff what I’ve caught thus far.
