What is ASL5? or EUD?

  Afreeca Star League 5. The largest remaining Starcraft BW tournament. Extended Unit Death. A buffer overflow exploit that massively increased the power of the map editor's "scripting language" (called "triggers" in the map editor). It was called Extended Unit Death because the trigger used was intended for the map maker to specify some sort of action upon a player having a certain number of units die. By overflowing the unit field in this trigger you could read from any memory address and by doing the same to another set of triggers that manipulated the death count you could write to any memory address. It was patched out in 1.13 for obvious reasons, however, you can re-enable EUD functionality with custom launchers to play maps that take advantage of the exploits.

  EUD is the name of the buffer overflow whose emulation is discussed in the linked presentation.
