Brood War News, Updates, Events thread - Page 3

I watched a little of Nada's stream and he was just getting crushed by Rush. Unfortunately he's going nowhere in ASL

nada almost made it. Had he won the 3rd game in a bo3 he woudlve at least qualified for Round of 24 and the first round would've been 10x more dramatic, although he would've been eliminated anyway. It's sad he wasn't able to make it.

Very loose translation: KT and SKT open to joining "new league" if ever one opened. Broodwar is back as fuck!

Also a 12-man "AJAE" League by Afreeca is supposed to be started. I read at TL that AJAE in korean means old, meaning 30 to 50 so expect guys like boxer, yellow, to play against each other again in a tourney lol

lol, funny how much people prefer playing non-mirrors. I mean myself I've race picked to avoid them for the past 10 years, but looking at those stats.. I mean it should be one third mirrors if there was no preference, but instead we're looking at a total of 94 mirrors to 671 non-mirrors.

the consensus among ex-pros were that they are not so interested in being "pros" again. But my guess is that with enough money, people will commit.

Jangbi and Killer have started streaming and will be back on the saddle on May 1 2017. Jangbi had a rough return previously after a short and unsuccessful stint at sc2 but times were different, BW was kinda dead and some ppl were at a loss what else to do if Sc2 wasn't their thing. Now that BW streaming is making them more money than ever, I think that's enough motivation to get JangBang crushing again.

Fantasy will be back too as soon as he finishes military, prob next year. Real exciting times for BW

100th update out for broodwar just now lol
