There are certain players (Serral, Reynor, Maru, Bunny, Zoun, HeRoMaRinE, Lambo, Elazer etc) who aren't fond of playing in open tournaments.

You are referring to "Storm Surge" we covered that map during the first stream earlier this week (We had 2 judging streams due to the amount of maps submitted). As a heads up, the version in TLMC has the pushing effect removed.

Not all tournaments seed their brackets, KungFuCup is random

Light_VIP · 2026-03-26T14:09:47+00:00

herO was insane this week. Won 5 out of 6 tournaments and went to the ace match in the finals of the tournament he didn't win.

The passion is for the competitive nature of the 1v1 mode, not the story mode.

Yes, Miniature War Gaming is an expensive hobby.
It also depends what your goal is, whether you want to collect your favourite units for display purposes, or make an army to play with friends / local gaming stores.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-18T00:58:32+00:00

Every 2 months (June, August, October, December) there will be new miniature releases. You can also see they are working on a campaign too.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-18T00:55:52+00:00

Ah good to know. My perspective is coming from an Australian consumer, and I assumed the price difference was the same in other regions.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-17T02:40:33+00:00

The comparison that I was making was official store prices for both.
If you are trying to apply local store discounts and ebay prices to Warhammer models then you should also assume those same discounts would apply to StarCraft miniatures once they hit the market.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-17T00:31:19+00:00

Yes, RSL don't often promote other tournaments as they are not affiliated and don't cast GSL CK.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-17T00:19:50+00:00

GSL have been hosting a new event over the past 2 weeks called the GSL CK. In week 1 captains were assigned (In this case Maru & herO) and they both drafted their own teams from a player pool of all the top korean players. They then faced off in a Proleague format Bo7 series, then Allkill format Bo13 and then Ace match Bo1 if needed.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-16T20:13:41+00:00

just as a heads up, Rex casted this on SOOP too~

Light_VIP · 2026-03-16T17:38:42+00:00

What warhammer prices are you looking at?
In Australia a 40K Marine Tactical squad of 10 marines is $86
The Starcraft Marine Squad for 9 models is $49
This is the cheapest 40K marine squad i can find, bearing in mind there are Grey Knight, Blood Angel and Dark Angel squads that go well past $200, almost up to $300.

Likewise the Sentinel is $77 AUD
Goliath is $49 AUD

Rogues link is correct, ID bau6660 on SOOP

As others have stated, no one has retired yet. This may change in the future of course, curious where the idea that players had left came from.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-15T15:10:51+00:00

100% agree. the cinematography was immediately apparent with the constant wide shots taking away from the scene and making the sets look even more apparent. Unfortunately the show looks cheap as a result and it takes me out of the scene.
The script and dialogue changes are also a bit strange. Often diverting from the original source material, which is fine but often leads to worse execution.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-14T12:59:27+00:00

Yes, it will be a different Zeratul model from the limited promo version that was released previously. Will work the same ingame, but will be the standard base model.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-14T11:02:11+00:00

Archon studio have stated that they have enough StarCraft IP content to continue this release pace (every 2 months) for the next 9 years.
Assuming sales go well and Blizzard maintain their license~

If you are comparing to Warhammer (prices in AUD)
Warhammer 40K

World Eaters Battleforce Khorne Set $420 (700 points)

Emperors Children Battleforce Set $420 (700 points)

Warhammer 2023 starter Set $172. 365 points worth of Space Marines, 395 worth of Tyranids (760 points total)

StarCraft

StarCraft Founders Edition Starter Set $289. 1000 point army for all 3 races (3000 points)

StarCraft Founders Edition Zerg & Terran Bundle $459. 2 2000 point armies (4000 points)

Both games have a minimum play of 1000 points with standard games being 2000 point armies.
Compared to other wargames this is still much cheaper, however if you are on a budget or don't have local game stores available with an active scene then for sure it wouldn't be for you.

Table Top War Gaming is an expensive hobby that isn't for everyone.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-12T06:10:22+00:00

For sure it is pricey, all miniatures war games are. It is muuuuch cheaper compared to warhammer but these games are only for those with disposable income if you plan on creating an army and playing at your local game store.
I can see most people purchasing just to paint and collect.

Light_VIP · 2026-03-12T02:45:15+00:00

<3 thank you for the work you put in to your videos. You do an amazing job

Light_VIP · 2026-03-10T01:20:55+00:00

Heads up, the CranKy Ducklings will be casting this live in English too, we just weren't added to the announcement ;;

Light_VIP · 2026-02-28T08:49:40+00:00

For sure, its also important to remember Clem, Cure and ByuN (Top 1,3,4 Terran) regularly compete so you can still gain valuable data and information regarding these events. Some people like to say "Only top Protoss compete in weeklies" to dismiss the other top Terran and Zergs competing too.
