dong still plays?
Yep. Zerg health regeneration kicked in and the 'dong is back.
He recently god 2nd place in Riyadh against Fantasy, he's decent enough.
HE also bagged 10,5k from that
surprised fantasy won that despite being retired
Only at 50% power but I still believe
This is the year Dongbros
Easy win for Soulkey tonight. No idea who's going to make it out of the other three, though.
I'd be surprised if Rain didn't make it out. He's pretty inconsistent with showing up to ASLs but he usually makes it deep in the competition when he does play.
I FRICKING MISSED IT YESTERDAY I THOUGHT THE NEW SEASON'S RO24 STARTS TODAY.
Anyway, I'm done with my collage of last season's ASL, JYJ's Semis and Finals and the cool credits part.
Rooting for my race brother Sea for this group.
You didn't miss a particularly good bracket despite the names, dayo. Many one-sided games.
I haven't seen Sea play for ages, curious to see what he'll show us.
Calm is no longer 2009 Calm
Should be an easy win for Soulkey and Rain.
Cadenzie looks pretty cool in that group damn.
I see my boy EffOrt is playing again, nice! Which remins me: when will Flash return from the military?
Flash is out of the military and is playing again. He wasn't feeling up to competing in the ASL though.
He's out but hasn't been playing. Heard he has some health problems
Exploding wrists claims another one
>~~*health problems*~~
More like he's afraid he'll be lynched by koreans because of Coingate if he ever appears in public again.
Bisu got out of it fine although with very measured posts now even in his youtube.
FlaSh's trust factor is the one that's really wrecked.
The drop never happened, no money was lost on the part of the fans, so really, it should be nothing but some morons hold an illusory grudge.
Cute.
>Sea
my homie
how does soulkey have 50.9% winrate when he's 21-21 in zvz
>Eon again
Can't we just have solo Nyoken?
Calm looks fatter while SK looks thinner the last time I saw them.
Won't Calm just eat SoulKey at this point
no, julyzerg is the only player that has mastered the art of CONSUME
>ZvZ
>2 minutes into the game
>it's already over
yep, kino time
>SHITkey
>ro24
>packed studio
wow
Sea has many fans along with Rain.
KWAB
What a great matchup
heem sleepy
Holy frick, he actually did it.
>~~*YouTube*~~ copyright strike for some reason
LOL
>black people music
Wow, look at that protoss win rate
How is it possible to have an 80% winrate on one matchup and then have 40 on another...
One of those matchups involves him playing against Flash.
Hello ladies
shit, just clinked in, how much did I miss
only missed about 5 minutes of gameplay
1 game in which Soulkey got rushed and died
hey, the top middle base of this map along with the natural is a copy paste of butter's upper right base
Same tileset and same relative positioning of the main and nat but I think there's a tighter choke between them
i think you're right
one trillion bullets to kill a single zealot
>CANCEL CC
hahaha it's fyucking over
Real shitter hours
Rain is on a roll
>SEA
absolutely buck broken
>muffled JEEJEE in the background
Real big props to Africa for hosting a whole sixteen Brood War tournaments
mogged by drones
WHO IS TIHS
LMAO 2HATCH!
Rain is playing safe because he knows there are 3 hatcheries and Calm could immediately fricking zergrush him
>4th Hatch now
>BLOCKS THE PROBE AND KILLS IT
>GOES 3 HATCH
holy shit Calm
I think we're witnessing the zergogre lord gamer
CAPED
holy fricking Speedrun round today
I'm a Calm fan now
THAT'S MSL WINNER CALM BOYS
>rain or soulkey won't advance
>tfw both of them do not advance
rain better advances, protoss crew needs him.
Soulkey better advance, his family will starve otherwise
>stream ended
Rusdh in beace
stream died...
Refresh the page
yep up now
We're back
soulkey

>Terran 1 plays
washed up streamer
Disastrous ro24 for Sea.
What the frick are those games?
FRICK ME
IRL SHIT & ERRANDS MADE ME LATE FOR KOREA TIME
AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HOW MANY GAMES DID I MISS?
All of them
There's one game left tonight. It's been ASL speedrun edition.
>8 minute break
Producers on suicide watch
Thank God I get to watch one game live.
You lie, there's one more.
Almost all of it, the games have been quick tonight. Just one more game to go.
It wasn't that spider sense, Eon
>overlord scouts base
>drobe is out on the map
>okay i'll take a look with my drobe instead of giving him my overlord
>runs into marines because their paths intersect
I haven't watched Korea Time in ages, why does the one commentator sound like a Brazilian moron?
He's Belgian. Scan (a korean) used to co-commentate with Nyoken but he left because his patreon shilling failed, so now we have Eonzerg.
Best of 1 sucks.
Give me bo3 already.
Koreans are scary. A bunch of Kim Jong Ills' waiting to emerge at any moment.
Boy can't wait to see terran win everything again.
Is Flash in?
Flash is still ded
unexpected
this was probably the shittiest day in ASL history
SoulKey's family gets to eat another day...
So another round of matches tomorrow, yeah? I like this new "three day a week" schedule of ASL.
Bless him.
Yep, same time tomorrow.
Yep. More games tomorrow and then three days in a row again next week.
I'm feeling Snow and Royal
I like Shuttle a lot but I feel like he's been fumbling and tumbling for so many seasons now.
Damn, another short game lol.
Kinda happy soulkey won though, I like him. Though it is a shame Rain lost, he's a good player.
I feel like Sea could have won that game against Rain if he did not blunder the CC. Rain's form looks so off.
>Rain's form looks so off.
Remember that one period for like a couple seasons when Rain was in top form? He was like legit top 3 Protoss at that time. Untouchable.
>Remember that one period for like a couple seasons when Rain was in top form? He was like legit top 3 Protoss at that time. Untouchable.
Feels like an eternity ago. Even his Dragoon micro against Sea was really rusty looking.
But during peak SC days, this group looks normal, really.
Sea shits himself in individual leagues. Rain is meh. SK is meh so it should be a tossup between them.
Calm is a Starleague champ, so yeah.
During that time Protoss players in general were overall pretty dominant, IIRC the KSL he won had 4 protoss players in the semis and he was simply the best at PvP.
When it comes to other matchups, he's good but not nearly as impressive.
>he was simply the best at PvP.
He really was. Rain's PvP was unmatched at the time.
Bisu plays like this as well
That Riyadh tourney was pretty fun to watch tbqh. Seeing Fantasy was a treat.
He's still so good, shame he basically already had League pre-prioritized for this year so he'll probably be at ASL, if he ever decides so, next year the earliest.
There's something wrong with Protoss players, man
Years of practicing gas stealing will do that to you.
cya tomorrow lads
See ya anon.
That's a killer (heh) group. Snow will probably advance first but 2nd spot is pretty open to any of the three.
gg, at least next group looks better...right haha?
Unironically it does, actually. Looking forward to tomorrow.
