Guy above literally making stuff up Maybe they meant the first qualifier against Shuttle? I have not watched those but it sounds plausible that Shuttle won with early zealots... I watched Mini straight up cheese him with zealots in the coming months leading up to ASL. It was a wild guess that would be the culprit.

Shuttle won Game 1 with a cannon rush plus zealots and like 3 probes on Dark Origin.
The other game Shuttle won was Game 3 on Retro, Queen got into a solid 4 base and was turtled up with sunken, lurker, hydra while denying shuttle's 3rd and I thought the game was over in Queens favor but shuttle somehow plowed through what I thought was an impenetrable natural to take the game.

Group stage:
Except for group A, upsets can happen in pretty much all the other groups.
First games to be played on Radeon aka the new Vermeer. Winners and losers to be played on either Blitz Y, Citadel or Troy (each player bans 1) Decider to be played on either Neo Dark Origin, Apocalypse or Retro (each player bans 1)

Neo Dark Origin has produced really cool aggressive games though. Just the 5th base is SUPER difficult to secure. Retro has produced some really good big games too. But it has some real turtling zerg advantages going for it and a lot of overlord safe spots.

Wheres the LB I need redemption from last season 😢

ZeLoT in a group stage against a roster of 13 premier league tournament winners like 👀.

Coming back after a long time. I thought Soul Key and Flash were still active? Neither of them made it? Tier means who ranks the best within their group?

Flash didn't enter. SoulKey is seeded into RO16, together with Mini, Rush & Sharp (last RO4 finishers). You didn't ask, but Fantasy didn't enter either & Queen/ZerO didn't make it through the qualifiers.

I think last ASL was a rerun of the previous ASL 15. People had high aspirations for the previous ASL winner who couldn't even make it out of the group stages. Winning strategy is about besting the last winner's playstyle in my opinion. I think Soul Key would have it pretty rough himself since being a champion, too. Everybody would have memorised his games. This season I'm for Mini Sharp Action old school players.

Perfect conditions for SnOw this season. If he can't make it out of his group he probably should just stick to online play only lol.
Hope JD can make it out of his group - he's been working so hard & on fire lately.. perfect time to display those new nDie JD24 skills!
