tonight is the matchup everybody expected to be the grand final, if not for one helluva surprising Round of 4. So kick back, and relax and watch the best zerg in the world take on the best protoss in a completely consequence-less series with nothing at stake except the shame of defeat and a couple of grand in korealand funbucks
RAIN (p) vs. EFFORT (z) bo5 GRAND FINAL NEXT SUNDAY
I like both Effort and Rain, and kinda don't which wins. Hopefully we get 5 games tonight. Pretty excited, tbqh. Even more so than the Mini vs Last finals.
Between this and the total recall that was discovered in the last few years, the protoss just grows stronger and stronger as the years go on.
Jaxson Hughes
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUCK I'm entertaining my normie-friends and can't watch koreatime aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Please tell me it's rapid or something casting it, whisper me sweet nothings /koreatime/.
I honestly don't understand why these thread dickride tasteless so much. Most of the time he can't even remember the players names, he is by no means a good commentator. He doesn't know dick about the game either.
Isaac Martinez
I had a feeling this might happen, tasteless was asking for audiobook suggestions yesterday, which he usually only does when he’s traveling somewhere
>PC Principal: no regret is actually a better caster than tasteless, but I still love him
Jose Thomas
t. guy who hasn't been watching any bw
Ethan Brooks
Get lost NoRegret, pay attention to the cast
Grayson Cooper
korean cast it is. only english casting i can stand is tastosis desu.
Nicholas Cruz
>Basket Case HOLY FUCKING BASED RAIN
>That was before my time
Holy shit fuck off, NoRegret
Aaron Moore
It's because the duo of Artosis & Tasteless is legendary. Artosis & anyone is great though.
Henry Ortiz
Look at the far left morph
Josiah Miller
I made a post last week complaining about WCIII not being on the Blizzard store but I have since made a few discoveries Apparently if you buy the Remaster you get the originals for free, but it's still not on the battle.net app You have to go to an obscure Blizzard forum post with a download for the game and then sign in with your Blizzard account (or use a CD key if you still have one) Fuck Blizzard for being so obtuse
Is there some alternative to the TL events calendar to finding when this shit is on? I'm sick of having to check every night and the next match for KSL/ASL will only get added onto it the day before its going to take place.
Adam Harris
Can't you get them for free without buying the remaster? Same place you get diablo 2 and the other blizzard classics
Austin Fisher
who the fuck is this bored caster god damn where is tastosis
It's the famous SC2 player, NoRegret. Known for sometimes maybe getting to the Ro32 in GSL, and for delivering commentary like he's almost passed out on drugs.
Jacob Bell
Nope, you have to buy it You have to buy Diabolo II as well
Jacob Parker
It'll be solo-casted by Rapid.
Aaron Cox
Good on you. Get something to snack on, it might be a long match tonight. Also stay hydrated.
He really couldn't cast 3 days in a row? What is this lazy slob even doing half of the time when he's not casting
Zachary Torres
Ironically that's the best kind of cast involving Rapid
Aiden Lee
Rapid is unironically good as a solocast. It's Rapid + anyone that is the problem because you get to see just how brown shit is when its smeared across white walls Rapidregret is where people genuinely consider muting the sound
I look there too but a lot of the time there's no date on the future matches. I want to put the dates and times in my calendar and once you get past RO16 you can't because they diddle all over the schedule
Isaiah Martinez
i wish they could get diggity to cast again
Lincoln Mitchell
an artosis solo cast would be better than a two man booth with rapid. this is indisputable. however a star2 tournament nobody gives a fuck about will surely happen across the ocean somewhere on the same day as the asl finals therefore artosis and tasteless will flake on us because of course they will because they always do always have for literally the last 2 years of asl - and we are going to be stuck with rapid. today artosis is training the boy for the trial ahead.
Lincoln Morgan
I hope one of the player decides to cheese so I have 5 minutes to go downstairs and cook something up
>that muta split no tossbabby has the micro required to do that
Owen Williams
Rapidregret is still one of the funniest portmanteaus I've ever seen. It perfectly describes exactly how you feel when you see they are the commentators.
Leo Anderson
i've never seen competitive starcraft, what's the minimum i should know
Carson Reyes
fuck off we're full
Carter Barnes
>Yo leme just fuckin' dive with all these mutas into a million goons and cannons and storm
Reminder that Rain is smarter than other Brood War players since he got out of the military simply by giving his father a liver. He can continue to dominate while all the top players go to be slaves for their country.
Leo Jackson
Really? Based mini doing what he said he’d do
Austin Garcia
i maek corsair i maek storm pew pew
Elijah Lopez
how many careers have been destroyed by compulsory military service?
Christian Lopez
that was when he gg'd, not when he fucked up his shuttle btw
Aiden Gutierrez
I swear to god, NoRegret cannot look good in any jacket and tie on Earth. He always looks like he doesn't fit in them.
Damn, I was out on a walk 30 mins from home and I forgot korea time was on. Luckily I could watch the first game on my phone on the walk home. Shame about no tasteless but Regretosis isn't too bad, they've kind of like an expert/newbie thing going on as noregret is perfectly ready to admit he knows fuck all about bw and makes zero effort to learn. Unlike Rapid who tries to learn and fails anyway.
Anyway, I just wanted to say hmmmm drobes, anybody get a clip of that lurker spine? that was juicy.
its plays really different to what I've seen on ksl/asl though No medics for example
Dominic Robinson
BEESUIT
Christopher Roberts
>popularized psi storm
What an absolute god.
Juan Martinez
You are just going to mass battlecruiser/guardian/carrier for most maps anyways so it doesn't matter
Gabriel Sanchez
Trump will make peace with North Korea which will have the compulsory millitary service be removed and push Starcraft into a new golden age. Thank you based orange man.
Dude doesn't fit in his own body, he's so far on the spectrum the world doesn't fit him. He's good when he's got his rhythm going, he's quite entertaining in a spazzy way.
Christopher Thomas
>Tasteless ducked out so he could snort coke and fuck whores so we get the fat guy instead >not even based Rapid "the little caster that could"
Nathaniel Davis
No it isn't. At least NoRegret is a timid fatso that lets everyone else talk over him. Solo Rapid means you have to listen to a retard shout out everything that is happening as it happens because he has no idea what is even going on.
Colton Ward
>Mini after his shuttle fu(...).webm I love how you can't tell which match this truncated filename refers to until you expand it. How many shuttles will Mini lose next week?
Even NoCharimsa shuts Rapid down when they cast together, his rapid fire autism causes Rapid to fail every "joke" and show just how shit his casting is. It's entertaining in it's own bad way. At Least Regret seems to have listened to people who have tried to tell him how to improve his commentary.
Bentley Barnes
gg
Ian Wood
jesus christ Rain what are you doing
Anthony Clark
3 0 incoming
Jack Murphy
>play a gamble on the next game being cheese >make food >come back to two base muta Bueno
who here >humming the ad music while doing other things during the day after a asl cast >shouting the thing that korean caster shouts when they play the recaps
Landon Ross
who else? Don't say Mini.
Jacob Jones
I missed the first game but the second game was a 6 minute steamroll, featuring zerglings and mutas
Are people watching it on Olleh TV now? Please say yes.
Daniel Rivera
I showed my friends TITTY SAMBO back in 2008 or something and they thought it was the funniest shit.
Hunter Richardson
Dude have you heard asians wear makeup and have cosmetic surgeries unlike women everywhere else in the world?
Andrew King
Too plasticky!
Anthony Cook
INTEL SAMBO INDIE CLASSIC
Gavin Sanchez
What day is the final?
Adam Hill
Tasteless missed out on making a podcast. It could be on normal non-Korean starcraft topics. Normies would eat him up. He's talkative and charismatic. He could have been Joe Rogan before Joe Rogan.
Levi Walker
God, even NoRegret knows he has nothing interesting to say.
Jayden Lee
next sunday. it's also a couple hours early
Austin Peterson
based on her slightly chubby face, I think she's actually a little less plastic than average.
those were some fruity fucking storms I hope rain takes this so we get more games
Alexander Campbell
I don't usually mute the stream, but I would for a NoRegret solocast I don't think he's awful, but it's clear that he doesn't fully get BW and he can only say what he's been told or try and compare it to SC2
Austin Price
He would actually have a breakdown halfway through. When they cut back to him after the first game he would be drenched in sweat.
Jace Wood
mmm draboons....
Brandon Gutierrez
Its over, Rain didnt do anything this game.
Andrew Carter
This is gonna be a 3-0. No question about it.
Liam Torres
gg
Connor Rogers
well that was kinda disappointing
Mason Hall
Short night
Michael Foster
based
Alexander Morgan
Welp, at least Effort got to win his last game before going into the military. I wish that ayy lmao didn't have to leave right now. He's still so dominant and now his skills are gonna dull for a couple years.
Ryan Watson
welp that was shit when are finals bros?
Eli James
shamefur dispray
Landon Morales
wow, I'm glad we didn't have that as the final, rain got fucking dominated, that would have been a boring final
Bros, Rain threw the series as quick as he could so that we wouldn't have to listen to NoRegret for too long. He died for us.
Isaiah James
>this awkward talk trying to end the show
Gavin Scott
I'm looking forward to some panicky shuttle play/abuse from Mini
Jose Torres
truly a hero
Zachary Bennett
remember friends, next week is finals and starting 18th April we get KSL again so mark your calendars for more Ultra Autism Gook Craft
David Torres
>I think Tasteless stole one of those
Between this and last week's "joke" about stealing things, I imagine walking into his place you'd see piles of stuff he's stolen from GOMTV, Afreeca, and Blizzcon.
Lincoln Long
Back to DMC5. Have a good morning/day/night, guys. See you at the finals.
Nathaniel Evans
SHIT COMMENTATOR SHIT PROTOSS SHITTY 3-0 SHIT GAMES WHAT A FUCKING SHIT DAY
REMEMBER: IT'S 2 HOURS EARLIER THAN THIS NORMALLY STARTS, SO DON'T MISS OUT LIKE A CHUMP
Noah Cox
>Sleep in 1 hour >It's already fucking over What the fuck Is it even worth watching the vod
Julian Roberts
Tasteless would definitely be the kind of guy you'd see walking out of a party carrying leftover food, for sure. He'll take anything he can get his hand on.
Xavier Bennett
Not really. Disappointing games tonight.
Dominic Williams
nope would've been a better match if Rain just stayed at home
Ethan Rogers
not really
Christian Davis
Honestly, nah. It was a one sided domination and unless you like those there's not much to watch
Cooper Ramirez
he ain't called mini for nothin
Brandon Bennett
>but little did they know the games would end before they finished their meal
Bentley Gonzalez
If you enjoy watching protoss getting absolutely dominated by zerg, yes. Nothing really exciting even happened, he just got outplayed.
Eli Jackson
sadly true.
Daniel Perez
if you're not here in person for korea time then you're basically an idiot faggotron and i wouldn't even 1,1,1 (You)
Aiden Sanders
When does it normally start
Brody Foster
An hour and a half ago
Dylan Ward
7pm local time.
Adrian Cooper
remember that Mini 3-0'd Last in KSL 6 months ago, then got 3-1'd by him. And that was last at his absolute peak, This final will be a lot closer than people think.
Easton Fisher
You faggots better tell me that whoever is responsible overseeing these games is looking into matchfixing right now
Because there is no way Rain didn't play this bad on purpose
Hudson Brown
Thanks friends
Cooper Sanchez
>devastating loss against Last just last weekend >only a week to prepare >for a 3rd place match that he doesn't give a shit about >plus winning would mean staining the end of a man's career
Isaac Allen
The 3rd game was especially bad.
James Morris
Rain is that bad, and Effort is that good. I've been saying for ages that Rain is the worst of the good players. He can win a tourny, but he can also get swept really easily too.
Ethan Thomas
I think effort probably prepared better than Rain did since it's his last hurrah and he had to prep for ZvP last week anyway
BW is kind of weird how somebody playing good versus somebody playing very good makes the worse player look fucking garbage even though they're only fractionally worse
John Lee
I'll say it time and time again, Rain is the kind of play who looks dominating until he gets dominated. It's very, very rare to see him go to full games, he usually either 3-0s or gets 3-0d
Josiah Lee
It kinda felt like Rain was trying to play SC2 instead of BW.
Luis Bailey
well if the prizepool breakdown is similar to last time, winning tonight is an $1,800 difference. that sounds worth it for a week's worth of preparation to me
Carter Jackson
>viewership numbers way down >players going to military >others have wrist problems >few new players rising in the ranks to replace the old ones
Can Korean BW survive?
Oliver Ramirez
>>viewership numbers way down Is it or was that just today because it was a shitty third place match?
Wyatt Mitchell
I checked last game too and the Korean numbers were like 20,000. I don't know how many are just seeing it on Olleh TV.
Asher Long
You're posting a match too early. Come back when the finals have been played.
Jordan Allen
Rain seems to sometimes just fall apart against top tier zergs. He got 4-0'd by Jadeong in season of 1 KSL as well
Connor Green
Why is it that when I unload my dropships sometimes it only unloads 1 or 2 vultures and then just stops? How do pros consistently almost instantly drop all their units out at once despite using like 10 dropships in TvT?
isn't that an issue of running out of space for the units to fit? might just be their superior positioning
Blake Reed
I am so angry I am gonna give this thread another bump
Zachary Lee
Angry about what??? Subpar games?
Mason Morgan
Yes. I literally haven't seen worse games past group stage ever.
Grayson Davis
It honestly was quite bad, I agree. I throught Rain would do better. And it was a bummer since i already bought snacks and prepared tea to watch 5 games. Like I said above, game 3 was especially bad.
