The Afreeca Starleague [ASL] Season 4 is about to begin! This weekend is the qualifying round, held in the cities of Seoul, Daegu (a short drive outside of Seoul), and Busan. The qualifiers will run from September 2 to September 4, 2017.
Currently, four players are seeded from last season: Flash, Shine, Bisu, and Soulkey. They do not need to qualify. Everyone else will have to pass through the gauntlet for a shot at winning the single biggest 1st-place prize in Brood War history. The main season starts up on September 10th, 2017.

As the groups are posted I'll copy-paste the list of names and TLPD-ize them. I cannot vouch for the accuracy of the information. Some Koreans have identical names (i.e. Horang2 has the same name as an unknown amateur player, so "Horang2" showed up in two groups last season before this was corrected). This is just basic trawling through Challonge and hoping for the best.

My OBS crashed 4 times today which is highly unusual because I've done over 8 hours of stream in past and never crashed once so I will have to investigate the cause. Also mid-way into my stream, I figured out the new way to restream off VLC which is a lot smoother but beginning parts did show some stream lags.
Also laundry folding stream hype.
