asl season 15 starts february 14th, with the qualifiers taking place january 28th and 29th

i hope the tastosis vods come out a little quicker this time, last season they were way behind compared to the previous post-live coverage seasons.

For real. I also wish there were more major tournaments. I guess having an off-season gets me more excited for when the games come back.

The view counts just don't make it monetarily worth it.

Huh, I always thought they were casting for free.

haven't watched yet, but glad to see group C up just as I'm finishing B.

They are putting these out quickly! So much better than last season.

Do you ever watch Artosis and these replays and think he might have a point about Brood War balance?

Yeah, out of 14 ASL seasons, Terran has won 7 of them. Nerf Terran.

I was told Larva hurt his wrists and now is a variety streamer, he has two youtube channels:
a vlogging or something channel:

blizzard/starcraft channel:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4P7F8qenDo1O_5NvgBb_cg/featured

e: a starcraft channel getting 250k views on every video, geez Korea still loves them some SC

asl season 16 underway, no tastosis vods yet. however, shine did not make it out of qualifiers, so this is already the worst season.

No Shine, no Flash, no Larva... come on man!

According to Artosis, Snow 5-0 Flash on ladder.... wow

Flash might be rusty from military service, but that is still impressive.

Wow. Just amazing games.

And let me just say: Artosis' knowledge of all the various matchups is just crazy good.

As annoying as his personality is (I was going to say his online personality, but we all know that's the real him), I agree 100%, one of the most knowledgeable Starcraft people in the world.

Tasteless has been casting random ladder matches between pros. I don't think he has casted any crazy games yet, but they have been fun to watch between ASL videos.

But that's twice we've seen long-distance gas mining for a ZvZ timing attack in this ASL. Even if it's never going to be a thing on ladder, we seem scarily close to the point where it's a fixture of the pro-game meta. Next season it'll be normalised and we'll be hearing Artosis sermonising: "Jaedong should have known to scout for gas caravans and the reason he lost is because he didn't"

Not to brag, but I've been doing that for 25+ years now :agesilaus:

so who does this leave as the best player to have not won an asl? rush? soma? i'd have said snow a few seasons ago but snow has fallen off real hard, real fast

anyway great finals, especially game 2 and the final game


Snow is suppose to be amazing on ladder. Maybe live event nerves get to him.

Some crazy statistics.

There are pro starcraft players with >80% win rates in ASL in certain matchups.
