Some fun games in Group D, but they're tough to watch with the poor audio quality. Use mono audio and the shittiest speakers you own for a somewhat watchable experience.

I watched an alternative cast instead. And I always watch artosis/tasteless stuff.

The issue is not even how it was recorded. Whoever edits the video should have made it mono and normalized volume levels. It would take 5-10 minutes to fix the audio.

It's definitely partly how it was recorded. I get why people who use headphones are annoyed by voices on separate channels but the audio quality of the announcing is poor too.

But I'm watching these because whatever I like the jokes.

Group E and F are up from the hotel room.

Turning on "mono audio" in the windows settings menu makes it listenable for me.

I like the top YT comment on group D - "Why are they sleeping in seperate beds?"

This is the first ASL I've watched and, having come from playing Starcraft 2 years ago, it's hilarious how often the players poo poo on the pros that came from SC2 lol

Artosis is casting CNSL (basically everyone who got eliminated in the ASL qalifiers):

Loser's match in particular is good, but several unusual games due to Leta playing.

I don't see him in the player list:

Not sure if the tournament has a specific rule against former champions, or if he just decided not to participate for whatever reason.

Two player maps make PvT so insanely dumb, I can't believe we haven't seen any mapmakers figure out how to prevent gas stealing. Zealots are just too strong when all Terran can make is Marines.

Seems like it can't be too strong given the overall success of Terran pros compared to Protoss pros.

How have I never seen this YouTube channel before? I've been watching BW since like 2009 and this is the best thing since GOM's English coverage. It's so fun to see these Korean pros outside of the tournaments poo poo talking each other with subtitles.

We'll see how the ASL goes but Protoss have been stomping Terran in the KCM all season long. Two Protoss players(Snow and Best) even had an all kill this season (6-0, 3 vs Z, 3 vs T).

That just seems like a good change of pace to me. I mean maybe it is a problem I'm not an expert but when Artosis isn't crying about something being unfair to Terran I feel like it can't be that bad.

Watching Snow absolutely destroy in the SCSL (I think that's what it was) seemed to indicate that, no matter the race, when a player gets hot, they just loving rip and tear

What Snow's performances also indicate is that online != offline. If they were he'd have been ASL finalist mulitiple times now.

Game 2 of group A is good. Forward Gateway beats Command Center first...eventually.
Of course, this gets overshadowed by game 1 of group B, which is one of the greatest games ever.

Same here. So cool to see these guys speak candidly after watching them for 15 years and knowing nothing of their personalities.

The latest Jaedong video is pretty insightful. (mild ASL17 spoilers I guess)

Same. Tasteless was so enamored with that kill the scanners strategy and all I could think was "this seems very context sensitive and not something you'd see replicated much" and Mini immediately does it in this tournament.

Fyi there's also a second english cast available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4TDadwiLb4 <- RO8 Day 2
More technical, less banter, less production value (no translation and they turn off afreeca audio outside the games, perhaps because of copyright and stuff).
Live if you watch on afreecaTV.
