Pretty sure you switch between the versions via the options menu in the game.

Larva played Light, and the dude who was casting it said that Larva just retired from 1v1s. :-(

this is correct. Info about other retirements: https://tl.net/forum/brood-war/575540-korean-pros-retiring

(somehow I remember Queen saying something similar, and his twitch stream description says "ex progamer", but that may just be out of date :confused:

)

also some crypto drama involving big streamers: https://tl.net/forum/brood-war/574711-flashs-crypto-scandal

$2800 Fighting Spirit Mania posted:

The only map that's to be used in this tournament is Fighting Spirit 1.3.
The bracket is played in double-elimination. The losers' bracket winner must beat the winners' bracket winner twice in order to become the champion. The winners' bracket champion only needs to win once.
All rounds are bo7 bo7 - this means that each won bo7 gives you 1 point towards the total bo7. This will require you to win 4 bo7s and will result somewhere between 16-49 games per round.
Example: 4-2, 3-4, 4-2, 4-3, 2-4, 4-1
Final score: 4-2 (total score of 21-16 -> 37 games played)
Each round lasts 2 weeks

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

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.
