no time for sleep, there's bee dubs to watch cause it's always korea time come watch some brood war with your pals tastosis as we settle in for the long haul with a TvT ASL CONTINUES TONIGHT: >SHARP VS. LAST
and tomorrow at 3pm (4 hours earlier than today) we have the last game of the ro8, a pvp with Rain and Horang2.
>Red, fruity with moderate dryness. real good half dry red wine is the shit. Perfect for sipping on the side. Even better if it's low on tannin and you can drink it slightly chilled
Owen Parker
Give me a z vs z cage match anyday
Carson Rogers
My brain said Last, but my heart said Sharp, and I followed my heart and all of your liquibet points will be mine
Tyler Rogers
>sharp doesn't go BC with that kinda bank
Isaiah Walker
its a bug.
Robert Hughes
I think he is, he's slowly bleeding off supply and not remaxing.
Ok yeah, that's fair. ZvP is sort of inbetween God and Good for me
Dominic Peterson
>FLICK IT >FLICK IT >FLICK IT >FLICK IT >FLICK IT
Xavier Torres
>TvZ >ZvP Dude!
Samuel Davis
Don't get me wrong I appreciate how much is going on in tvt and the skill of the players. But visually it's just not fun to watch and it's not super dynamic. it also drags.
Brayden Bailey
wat
Ayden Hill
the wandering factory
Samuel Rodriguez
A bit late. Just finished watching match 1 on YouTube, that was a really cool TvT I think.
Easton Moore
I'm multiplexing Last vs Sharp, Parting vs Reynor and Hurricane vs GuMiho One man should not have all this power.
Matthew Long
i've been out drinking, what have i missed? im surprised i've only missed 1 game, but i guess it is tvt
Jonathan Rodriguez
>im surprised i've only missed 1 game, but i guess it is tvt last refused to surrender
Anthony Reyes
>Tastosis dissing blizzard on air >backtracking covering as fast as possible. Holy fuck
Levi Carter
>more korea time >this is bad pick one
Samuel Murphy
Blizzard doesn't own their own sound effects.
The sound of dragons in Warcraft 2 is a stock sound
Luke Robinson
it's the academy scream that's stock sound effect
Logan Turner
why is there someone screaming when you click on the academy...?
>more battle royale trash getting released >the only RTS is a remake
please can we have some good video games ?
Angel Scott
Imagine watching a kino aesthetic and dynamic TvZ, instead we get to watch an even autistic version of chess
Adrian Barnes
>please can we have some good video games ? DMC5 soon
Josiah Brooks
no need for it, bw is still here
Nathaniel Collins
that game is a total mess
Austin Brown
Why release more RTS games when the only good RTS games that will ever exist have already been made?
Dominic Jackson
>the only RTS is a remake and there is no news about it for months
Angel Rogers
they're full of bugs and frustrating mechanics
Cooper Turner
as soon as people stop buying remakes they will stop remaking them normies are idiots, we are going to get the same batch of games released from now until infinity just 20 years of games on repeat until the nukes begin to fall
sucks with movies.. there is like 6 pirates of the carribean films. why did that even happen
Aiden Ramirez
My boy Sharp will win this ASL.
Bentley Williams
Flash does that Nada nuke build on his stream though.
Joseph Butler
I want a proper sequel to Supreme Commander Forged Alliance
Henry Garcia
I want Total Annihilation
Dominic Morgan
Global audience. Movies are going to keep getting dumbed down so the "average human" can understand them. They want to sell them in the west and china :^)
Actually, instead of total annihilation, I actually REALLY want a real PC Homeworld 3
Luis Bennett
So much, but Chris Taylor is washed up now.
Henry Mitchell
>AoE 2
Vulture vs vultures Hehehe
Connor Taylor
i have a conspiracy theory. The game developers companies are in bed with the people selling computer hardware and they keep making these power hungry battle royale games to try sell more graphics cards
and i know a new version of PUBG got released for bad computers, but that's bcuz asian people can't afford good pcs
Eli Morgan
Didn't his studio get absorbed by a literal shovelware dev?
Charles Cruz
RTS games suck in full 3D. I think they should stick to prerendered sprites similar to AoE, C&C, Starcraft, Factorio style.
Julian Bennett
Yeah. Gas Powered Games got absorbed by Wargaming and closed last year. I think he left in 2016/2017 and no one's heard from him since.
Lincoln Wilson
What are you talking about? It has the deepest meta of any game.
Christian Reyes
it's so buggy and full of frustrating game mechanics. it may be an amazing esport but it's before my time and it just feels bad to play
i need a game with clean mechanics and A.I that does what the fuck you input instead of just taking it as a vague suggestion
Levi Cruz
so you want the smash bros of RTS
Josiah Wood
>A.I that does what the fuck you input instead of just taking it as a vague suggestion git gut with your mechanics
John Price
looking at the TvT right now.. it's a fucking nightmare trying to control armies of this size. Not fun gameplay
Thomas Ramirez

Luke Myers
>gas bug again
Jayden Reed
It doesn't matter how good your mechanics are when Goliaths and Goons are totally fucking retarded.
Afreeca player hardly works from my experience. Youtube is a better platform. The only time to use afreeca player is when the stream gets taken down due to copywright.
Brandon White
I wish tasteless would make me his skeet scout
Wyatt Peterson
Keep it up, user, but only if you still sleep at least 7 hours a day total!
Michael Perez
Have SC1 numbers not stabilised over the last decade? I'm sure the sponsors consider the ASL a low yield but very safe option.
Game 5! Fucking shut up user, last is going to lose the series cause of you
Nathaniel Harris
Yeah, he just threw Last off a cliff.
Jaxon Gomez
Finally a good series
Isaiah Stewart
I miss him so much, gone too soon
David Wright
I thought GOM TV era Korea Time was hitting 10K viewers. Even that's TINY compared to the fact that you have to pay two guy's salaries. English streaming must lose them like 50K a year at least.
Easton Smith
why is sharp making the ó_ó face?
Alexander Peterson
>Afreeca player hardly works from my experience.
Have you tried recently? It's vastly improved in the last few years. I only use Youtube because i can stream it through mpv. I used to be able to with Afreeca, but not lately.
Isaac Jenkins
Cost of living isn't as high over there, they probably don't get paid enough to live on it. Artosis has a pretty successful youtube channel too iirc. Plus they cast SC2 matches also.
Xavier Clark
Imagine going to all the trouble of organising a tournament of this size, only to have 10,000 viewers.
Grayson Cook
An ad for Friends is something I never thought I'd see in Korea Time.
So Afreeca TV isn't on proper TV, but it's on OllehTV?
Owen Lopez
The fact he still has wrist function is a miracle in its self
Justin Lopez
I stream via my ps4 because I am mentally handicapped
Josiah Cruz
Remember when you had to pay to watch anything above 480p? Those were the days!
David Ward
So thats why he uses his feet
Jaxson Rogers
They actually get money from the Korean government to employ Tasteless and Arty IIRC Makes foreigners want to come to Korea
Connor Reyes
does it actually spell gg and just look like a surprised face by coincidence?
Nicholas Roberts
ALRIGHT LADS
FINAL ROUND
PREDICTIONS?
Cameron Murphy
someone will win and the other will lose
Joshua Long
Terran will prevail!
Wyatt Campbell
T in top 4.
Brayden Hernandez
English is a side series with like 5% of the total viewers. I think it's silly they don't make English ads though.
How much Tastosis makes is always a mystery we try to figure out. My take has always been that Afreeca pays them enough to survive, and then anything they make from Youtube, and foreign tournaments is bonus money. Note that Artosis has a YT channel, and 3 kids, but he also has a wife who works. Foreign casting tournaments like Blizzcon is likely most of their money.
I think they're sitting nicely at 60-75K USD per year. If they're smart, they're banking their minerals. But i see Tasteless as blowing money on whores, cocaine, and booze. Pot is probably hard to come across in Korea.
Adrian Smith
What happened to him anyhow?
Elijah Reed
>roughly year 2000 melodic metal Blizzard soundtrack that's a triple Kreygasmeygasmeygasm from me senpai
Zachary Cruz
It actually says h h, which is a type of laughter in Korean. A bit weird since the letter ㅈ is on W while ㅎ is at G. ㅈㅈ is how you type GG in Korean otherwise.
Samuel Wright
Last will win. Sharp is a secret Hapa and thus is at a disadvantage.
>Another episode where one player loses three times in units as the cost of static defense to protect against harassment. Heh, getting quite a lot of reruns.
Cooper Phillips
Sharp is getting destroyed. Are you watching the wrong game? #TeamWraith
Ryder Flores
>Comeback >Sharp down 60 supply
The wraiths have done a ridiculous amount of work this game.
Gavin Harris
why isn't red catching up on supply?
Andrew Diaz
>The wraiths have done a ridiculous amount of work this game. true but they're not the kind of punch that ends it
Bentley Cooper
Imagine getting your shit pushed in at the pro-level by wraiths... haha
Why do koreans dudes all have extremely dorky haircuts?
Chase Martinez
Supply isn't that important in TvT. What's important is bases and map control for flow. Sharp had the greater section of the map and minus the wraiths they had they same ground army.
Anyway, good fucking game.
Joseph Reyes
Oh fuck. Just woke up. Did I miss it all?
Jose Murphy
Yup. Just ended
Evan Evans
God that was an intense series, one of the best TvTs in a while. Sad to see Sharp go but they both played great.
>Starts on bleached and almost ends on neo syphilis
Daniel Moore
>Fat old man who eats pringles alone
That's not a good end for Tasteless. Banging whores with your money isn't that enjoyable. Annd being fat he's bagging less bitches now.
TASTELESS YOU USED TO BE HANDSOME!
William Miller
Imagine being paid to stay in the country only to serve the 8 goddesses of SK. Living the dream. And all you have to give up is https.
Jordan Cooper
>has limitless young korean cunny >he should stop this and get a real job Hmmm
Michael Rodriguez
The way he's gained that consistent amount of face fat has me thinking he's on some kind of medication.
Noah Campbell
>SC2 >Many foreigners and some Koreans in some foreign tournament >All koreans (but one?) goes to the next round
I see nothing has changed in the past 10 years. Heh.
Asher Evans
He should stop being so god damn fat and sedentary. That's all. He eats like trash and doesn't move.
>limitless young Korean cunny
I challenge that. Tasteless hasnt' been seen with a girl in ages.
btw, remember Lil suzy? She got super fte too. Let me find pic.
Luke Turner
She moved from Korea with Montecristo when OWL started up and they both got jobs there.
She's no longer "Little" Suzy but big Suzy!
ah man, remember when her and Tasteless casted SC? They only did one season together I remember. the good ol' days of Lil Suzy and Tasteless in t-shirts hidden under the stairs given a mic to share between them.
>the good ol' days of Lil Suzy and Tasteless in t-shirts hidden under the stairs given a mic to share between them I miss the energy that Tasteless had then. So raw and unabashed. At least it's nice that he's matured into a different groove instead of losing it altogether.
Blake Morgan
You want to know the most mind blowing part? Original Korea Time felt like it was going on forever, starting with the Star Invitational in 2007, and ending with the Avertec Intel-Classic Season 3. 2007-2009. like 2.5 years
Current "Korea Time" is 2015 or 2016 (I actually forget) to 2019. That is like 3 years. Current Korea Time felt like yesterday. I just moved into my new place, and I saw a thread on Yea Forums about how Tastosis were casting the last few matches of the end of a tournament in BW. I was blown away to see SC:BW played again. I thought that had died when all the players retired in 2015.
They talked on cast how thye had begged management to cast this.
Zachary Ramirez
They put Tasteless under the stairs because they said he was too loud. A lot of Nick's old appeal is that he was this cool scene kid, almost too cool to be casting something nerdy like Starcraft. He seemed like this fratboy stoner friend you'd have. And he was so unprofessional, which is where the humor and entertainment came from. But, when the games were good, Nick had passion. You can tell he loves Starcraft more than anything. Nick has actually recently, like a year ago, said that he looked at his old casts with embarassment because he was so unproffessional. Which is true, but he's trying to be a serious caster now. Rather than before, when he was a fratboy scene kid who was just passionate about starcraft.
John Allen
Has there been proper preservation of old Korea Time matches? I know there's a scattering of Youtube coverage, but this is often terrible quality. Many old Korean matches look like they're dvd rips, but a 2009 Youtube dvd rip is way different than what a modern DVD rip can look like. We can do way better quality now. What we need to do:
>DVD rips
Actually find and rip the Korea DVDs in good quality. I know Artosis owns many of these. I think you're just gonna have to buy them on ebay from a Korean or something. These are all gonna be Korean Language, but will be way better quality than English sources.
>Find best quality English casts
Most are just 640x480 streams and gonna be yOutube uploads. Maybe we can luck out and someone saved the highest quality possible somewhere? Let's hope.
>Torrent archive Place these into a Torrent on Nyaa or elsewhere. Does Nyaa handle Korean media? I hope they do.
David Clark
I know, it boggles my mind to think that these silver age korea time threads have been going for as long as original korea time went for back in the day.
The sole reason I come back to this place is these threads, laugh about a few drobes or tasteless' fatzheimers. They are really the best threads on this place.
Parker Baker
>fatzheimers
I'm sorta wondering if Tasteless might have something? He just seems to slip up way more than Artosis or other casters. Could it be alcoholic dementia? Untreated syphilis? I'm not even hoking, he just seems like he can't remember names or terms for shit now.
Or maybe he's just a dumbass drunk or drug addict? He's fat enough.
Carson Baker
Artosis does as well but it's not as noticable. Personally I just think it's part of who tasteless is, he was never that great with words to begin with. He provided the energy rather than the articulation.
Brayden Thompson
How do I move to south Korea?
Eli Cox
Tasteless does it 10x more than Arty. Arty mostly keeps calling dropships "medivacs". So he mixes Sc2 and SC1 terminology.
Isaac Cooper
Was Starcraft made by wizards? It just seems so perfect. Inhumanely perfect game. It doesn't even feel like a "game", like SC2 does. This feels like some sort of ancient game they've been playing for millennia.
Nicholas Carter
On top of this sc2 is so shit to watch Looks so muddy and everything blurs together into one big mess
Jace Nguyen
Why was it ever popular and why is it still more popular in Ameirca? SC, even old starcraft looks way more sharp. Way better art style. It's a paradox where 3D needs to be way more detailed and powerful to match 2D sprites in terms of clarity and detail.
Look at 3D fighters. They just now have made 3D models for games on the PS4 that are as detailed as 2D sprites are. Look at the PSP remakes of MM1 and MMX. The detail went down for MMX! PSP is way stronger than a snes, so it seems counter-intuitive.
Evan Adams
Especially with the custom skins added. It's all so blobby and blurry. Everything is like some extreme parody of its original skin. Luckily GSL avoids those skins like the plague.
William Campbell
>sci vessels look like DS9 space station and aren't orbs
I think it's more that the modern idea of competitive RTS is shaped around starcraft. Micro and macro were developed there and they spread to everything else.
They literally had very little idea what they were doing when they designed it, hence why there are units like ghosts and scouts. And there are units which they clearly thought out very well like corsairs or scourge or vultures. But sometimes you need that throwaway impulsive desgin rather than the committee desgined SC2/diablo 3
>tasteless got to pound that and watch her titties jiggle with each thrust
bit jelly.

Lil susy.
>Yea Forums shit on Lil Susy for not knowing anything about Starcraft when her job was to just keep Tasteless talking and ask him questions, and translate
