Jang Yun-cheol advanced to the quarterfinals as first place in Group B of the round of 16 of Google Play ASL Season 21 held at FrickUp Studio in Samseong-dong, Seoul on the 14th. In the first game, he easily defeated Lim Jin-mook, whom he had nominated, and in the winner's match, he won 2:1 after a fierce battle with Cho Il-jang, the strongman in the toss match.


In the first match between Jang Yun-cheol and Lim Jin-mook, Lim Jin-mook prepared for a decent pack double. Jang Yun-cheol prepared to attack Zealots and Dragoons after the advance gate, and Jin-muk Lim tried to block them by producing Marines and Vultures, but he built bunkers late and suffered heavy damage in the early stages. With the game already tense in the early stages, Lim Jin-mook attempted a final marine and tank attack, but of course it was easily blocked, and Jang Yun-cheol headed to the winner's match.

In the next two games, Yunjong Jeong started with a Zealot double when a gate was built at the entrance to the front yard. Iljang Jo overpowered the Zealots with a juggle and easily won by breaking through the photo cannon line with a hydralisk rush.

The first set of the winner's match between Jang Yun-cheol and Jo Il-jang. After an easy start, Jo Il-jang won the first set faster than expected with a quick hydra thrust, just like in the previous match. In the second set, Jang Yun-cheol collected a lot of Corsairs and prepared for Zealot. Iljang Cho prepared Mutalisk and Scourge, but it was difficult to use them due to the Corsair.

The situation was escalating into a long-term battle with each other taking more multi, but Jang Yun-cheol was able to overcome the shaky period, block the opponent's gas multi, and deal a big blow to Jo Il-jang's main base with a dark drop. And with an advanced combination of Archon, High Templar, and River, he defeated Iljang Jo and tied the score at 1:1.

In the 3rd set, Jo Il-jang prepared to attack the hydralisk just like in the 1st set. Jang Yun-cheol was also conscious to some extent and quickly increased the cannon to block the attack well. Even though Hydra was blocked well and the toss was advantageous, Jo Il-jang quickly increased the number of drones and caught Jang Yun-cheol's hill with Hydra and Lurker, leading to an even situation.

However, Jang Yun-cheol attracted attention by turning his Zealot to the road next to the front yard, and with Dragoon Dasu and High Templar, he broke through the hill in his triple multi-area and defeated Jo Il-jang 2:1, advancing to the quarterfinals as first place in the group.
