IT'S THE LAST KOREA TIME OF THE SEASON BOYS AND GIRLS THE GRAND FINAL LAST (T) VERSUS MINI (P) THE EMOTIONLESS COMPUTER VERSUS THE ONE MAN KLEENEX FACTORY LET US GATHER AROUND WITH OUR PALS TASTOSIS TO SEE MINI'S AGONY EVEN IF HE WINS
I can't wait to see Mini's body contort in pain as Last ravages him over and over again.
Mason Bennett
for some reason I could have sworn it was on way earlier tonight, like 2 hours earlier or something. weird
Jose Anderson
3-0 sweep by Last.
All but one of the ASL finals has been disapointing with the real finals being one of the Round of 4 matches. A weak opponent ends up fighting a stronger one and gets rolled. The only exception is Flash vs Effort in S6.
Rain is trash btw. Worst of the good players. Uses PvP as a crutch to get farther into tournaments than he deserves.
Zachary Powell
I'm thinking last will take this but it'll be very close. Mini is more than a match for him and has a winning record of 5:3 over Last in KSL/ASL
I don't know if the pressure will be too much for him. What if he starts to tilt? Will his body be able to take it
Do we actually have any confirmation that it's Tastosis casting?
Jacob Flores
Sparkle was fun for a season since it produced some epically terrible games and freak matches. In that sense, I'm kind of glad for it. It's just something that really stands out. Still horrendous though.
Jackson Hill
Alright lads, time for a 100% accurate roll. You ready? Odds --> Last wins. Even --> Mini wins. Dubs --> Event cancelled due to natural disaster.
>inb4 0 is not an even number 0 is an even number. t. Math postgrad
How many minutes of shitty hype/backstory videos and interviews are we gonna get before the games actually start? 20 minutes?
Brandon Powell
You are a good man. Except that gay bit though.
Hudson Martinez
So what are everyone'e bets on how full the audience's gonna be? Will the camera show the back rows and the balconies or try to avoid them so we cant see that ASL7 flopped, next season never?
Dominic Turner
Better than that one early season that was like 45 minutes of K-pop. S6 also had a violin redition of Blind and Frozen.
Christopher Reyes
I'm glad we got this finals instead of the effort/rain finals everyone expected. could you imagine if that shitshow was the grand finale for this season?
Jackson Price
Yeah, finals has a bit more prep+filler. 20 minutes sounds about right.
Adrian Foster
Hopefully we see some Mini breakdowns again.
Noah Young
I seriously don't see how Mini can defeat Last, when Last is being dishonest
Dominic Moore
they said last week that tasteless would be back for the finals
Jacob Robinson
so I checked and the Nevake channel is actually a Team Liquid project. But they made uploads of old matches in like 2010 and put them on youtube. You upload to youtube, it's gonna use its own compression. And compression tech has advanced a lot sicne 2010. I would like to see a proper torrent be made from dvd sources of as many of these old seasons as possible.
Landon Wright
pvt, I like mini though so might root for the evil race
Daniel Murphy
I would have preferred Effort vs Last
Chase Ortiz
Ok ill draw hetero stuff, just for you.
Carter Smith
Mini is cute! CUTE!
Christopher Sullivan
SC2 is better
Cooper Davis
Remember one season the mods got super pissy and kept deleting Korea time threads or trying to redirect them to vg. As an apology, the mods stickied the thread for the grand finals.
What are you talking about? I think there's a fair amount of variation in unit comps, build orders, even Hero choices which are probably the most stagnant part of the game strategically
Ayden Ward
It better be a NoRegret solo cast to match the excitement of this matchup.
Nathan Price
>Ha
Joshua Bennett
The auditorium is looking empty as fuck.
Easton Ward
Report in Yea Forumsros! Where you watchin from? Southwest Americlap
Robert Richardson
are we gonna get another awkward live orchestral engrish performance of a rock song
Jack Turner
hollee shit that's a big stage
Josiah Perez
SC1 fans are so old they are dying off.
Sebastian Morgan
Lot of empty seats already. Wish they'd go back to that children's park.
The presentation for finals shit is always so cheesy what with the done up videos for the finalists playing up personal drama and other shit. Does anybody actually enjoy that sort of stuff?
Joshua Powell
>PSYCHE I AM GOING TO BUNKER RUSH YOU
Henry Hernandez
What are you bets? I'm going to go with 3-1 to Last
I literally cannot get enough of that Engrish shit. I gobble it up.
Jace Clark
BREAK THE FRAME
Dominic Rogers
It's 2019 and we have Starcraft BW competitive pro-games still going on. This is wild.
But how strong do you think the scene is? Most of the older players seme to have wrist problems, or going to the military. And too few ways to train new comers. You see the new guys reach R24 sometimes,a nd the skill gap is so insanely big.
btw, who's this english announcer guy? He's always had the same guy forever but we've never seen him.
BAH GAWD, THE RIVALRY, MINI, LAST, THE ATMOSPHERE IS ELECTRIC IN HERE, BAH GAWD, WHAT A SLOBBER KNOCKER THIS WILL BE
Samuel Myers
>at exactly the same time asl finals will be done before that
Anthony Gonzalez
I honestly don't know. Last is the favoured I think since he's just so damned good, but Mini's got a chance nonetheless. I'd say a 3-2 in favour of Last.
Thomas White
>Watching Serral abuse zerg again
Samuel Green
>why was that video in english?
The Koreans, like Japanese, mix in English here and there, often for titles. The promotional phrases for each season of ASL are actually fully English words. This season being "Break the Frame". They're slightly meaningless ad phrases but sound cool if you're Korean.
Jaxon Powell
I keep the streams muted most of the time the games aren't on I also close the stream straight after the last match ends
>Last who is known as macro beast used this reputation to succesfully cheese himself out of nearly lost matchups >Mini known for never going for hard cheese but occasionally using high-pressure games
I expect them to out-mindgame each other. Mini will go full cheese while last will try to go full macreo beast mode
Asher Ramirez
How uncomfortable is it to have to interviews with your opponent so much?
Brandon Jones
midwest burgerland fuck everyone who doesn't have to wake up early to watch this
Thomas Kelly
What a fine morning for the most beautiful game in the world.
Jeremiah Campbell
i need that tasteless picture
Tyler Barnes
This isn't new. Tasteless is a sedentary hedonistic drunk. He mentally never matured past frat boy, and after 30 you get fat if yo udon't change your habits. Let Nick be a warning. Under that beard and fat is a really hadnsome man. He's gross now.
Artosis has 3 children, and on top of raising them, and casting, he does a youtube channel and streams. He actually works.
Who knows what Nick does with his time off. Probably gets drunk alone.
Colton Roberts
>pervert-style
Luke Garcia
>mini's style has been called a pervert-like style >mini's face
reminder to make sure to say no homo after kissing your boyfriend so people don't get the wrong idea and so you don't have to adress it in a video later
Jordan Powell
About 30 mins. Finishing soonâ„¢.
Julian Robinson
we are SO close
Angel Bell
>nearly 60 posters already Fuck it's a beutiful sight to see. I remember when these threads could barely stay alive during season 1/2, it brings a tear to the eye
>The fact Tasteless and Artosis can't spreak or read Korean after 12 years blows my mind. What language is Arty bringing his kids up in? Arty probably can and his wife probably helps a lot with teaching his spawn Korean. Tasteless can get beer and probably knows the people in his local area enough to get by
Luke Barnes
FIGHT UNTIL YOU DIE
Aaron Ramirez
Wew just made it back with MACDOLANDS, just in time
>dropping the reaver there to just immediately die
What in the FUCK is this stupid shit?
Jaxson Morales
I'd rather see 5 games of retards slapping it out than a sweep, at least
Luis Baker
Live Die Repeat zealot drops and SHUTTLES
Benjamin Gray
They're both trying there hardest to job but the other just jobs harder It's like some kind of game of hot potato
Cameron Rogers
Minis early reaver drops got dunked on by wraith and general army Last did a vulture drop, meanwhile Mini trashed Lasts tank line and forced him out of his 3rd Last took it back and then Mini made a failed attempt at Lasts siege line again
Colton Gonzalez
terran player: > 673 apm > building turrets everywhere or lose >perfect siege spread or lose >perfect mine spread or lose >perfect econ control or lose >edge out victory 50% of games
protoss player >23 apm >" i meak base" >"i make gateway" >"i make a move me win %50 good odds"
reminder that terran is the only race that EARNS 100% of its wins
Kevin Jackson
That's a moon rabbit.
Daniel James
>I make gateway >I trade units
Jacob Lewis
That was such a shit game. Mini was just spamming dragoons and zealots the whole fucking game, to such an extent that Last could win without doing anything but spamming tanks and vultures and a vessel or two.
Lucas Barnes
Reminder that shitting on a race makes you no better than a console war faggot.
Juan Edwards
nice try, random player, but i see through your tricks
That game was just who could make the most mistakes. The only really cool parts were the storms.
Jonathan Allen

David Morales
Are there or have there ever been any pro Random players?
Jackson Ortiz
Based I'm a Terran and I have nothing but respect for Ps and Zs except for defiler play fuck dark swarm
Caleb Long
Starcraft: Wrist War
Dylan Watson
Terrran doesn't need to do anything. Just build tanks move out and win. The brainlet race really.
Anthony Gonzalez
A very long time ago. The issue is you trade away the ability to actually practice late game properly, for an advantage in the first 4 minutes of the game.
Charles Ward
>Ki nala atum uhn ore'ki und lara khar Console War artanis sorry I don't speak Khalani
John Davis
>Artanis is Protoss for faggit lmao
Camden White
woww! i am loving the big wraith plays they are making my happy because my favourite unit is the wraith! i think if i was a wraith i would like to kill some drones while i am seethrough! zoom zoom
If your early game is good enough, you don't need to play late game
Cameron Long
Protoss has to constantly outmanouver and outharass terran while expanding, teching up, keeping up with upgrades, clearing mines and defending against vultures.
Terran has to just turtle and get to a point where he is maxed out in upgrades and he'll probably win. It's for the PROTOSS to try to win BEFORE terran gets to lategame and considering how easy it is for terran to turtle terran is heavily favored in this match up.
remember that if mini had gone into arbiters earlier, last would have been pushing down his base way, earlier. storms were the only thing holding last back
Luis Rogers
Ur fucking retarded if u think that. Have you not seen the most common type of pro TvP where the protoss goes arbiters and gets steamrolled anyway.
Mini realizes that this doesn't work, you cant go lategame against terran so he tries to finish the game, or do a shitload of damage before terran gets to lategame.
>Protoss has to survive until he makes Arbiters/Carriers and he'll probably win ftfy
Jaxson Ross
Mini is just a retard that didn't bother doing anything other than dropping templars and attack moving zealots with goons If he had built an arbiter sooner and recalled inside Last's base like any other decent protoss the match would've been a lot different
Aiden Price
Leta needs to start playing Protoss.
Jose Campbell
>interviewing audience members FOR WHAT PURPOSE
Aaron Lewis
or just cast 1 recall or make 5 carriers, also cant believe you are comparing manually placing mines to clearing mines by a moving goons.
Jackson Gomez
S t a r g i r l One slutty shoulder
>another interview GODDAMMIT AHHHHHHHHHH
Samuel Wood
wow many wraith houses! it looks like a very nice village i would like to live in!
>MORE FUCKING INTERVIEWS GOD DAMMNIT YOU GOOKS I JUST WANNA WATCH STARCRAFT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
that looks like Moo Proleague. Its a teamleague they run where all the players play from home with webcams, they do stupid victory ceremonies and shit, it was pretty entertaining.
Daniel Jackson
prepare for dark nuggets
Camden Campbell
i adore her earrings
Easton Perez
>that old woman with the mini fans
Juan Howard
>It's packed >Entire section is empty
Anthony Campbell
would you let mini drive you somewhere in his shuttle?
Christopher Stewart
Sharp reminds me of Jet Li when he was younger.
You could easily imagine Sharp going out of the venie and fighting some thugs with his Yoga-fu
Brandon Wright
"Hello accomplished pro. What is your opinion on the game you observed, any insight from your professional brain?" >Hurrrrrrr why they intervew randos audience???
I think that section is empty intentionally as the view there is blocked by the cameras A bunch of ampty seats here and there can also be explained by people going to the restroom during the intermission. The tickets have been sold-out and i imagine the actual attendance is like 90%
Wow. That is actually a fascinating video. Has there been an example of this happen before, where you believe someone has a certain personality from their restrained casting personality, vs what their actual personality is like? Artosis is a shit head.
>Leta establishing dominance by going 10port Wraith. Absolutely based.
Ethan Sullivan
>The tickets have been sold-out and i imagine the actual attendance is like 90% I hope that's the case >tfw want Nada to come back to a finals just once
You know what they should do to up events entertainment value? Add a saucer sized button next to the keyboard that the plays have to slam down with the first to activate - this button? The 'gg' button. When activated by a player it automatically gg's in game chat and exits the match as the loser.
Levi Hernandez
Flash used to do it all the time. Anyone made carriers against him they fucking died in the timing window before they reach critical mass.
Charles Murphy
this
Brandon Price
Thank god a decent lasting macro game with carriers. I can die happy in this finals. I still hope Last wins though.
Luke Powell
Flash has done it, but he's, you know, Flash
Jaxon Edwards
with their fists*
Justin Lee
The corsair won that match
Jeremiah Lopez
im not satisfied until is BCs vs Carriers
Brody Cook
>So..what didthe Corsair do?
It killed the wraith. The observer showed it had damage and 1 kill.
Julian Hernandez
>subs the player >not the announcer why tho
Bentley Jones
You need 2-1 and 3-2 Golliaths, and you need to start killing Carriers here and there. Mini taking out the armory was a big move since it delayed both Goliath production and upgrades.
Carter Thomas
>making BCs when you know who is lurking in the shadows waiting for its chance to shine
You will have better odds of that in GSL than here unfortunately.
Asher Thomas
loads of terrans do. It's a weird fight, carrier dragoon zealot vs. goliath tank. The real fight is the goliaths versus the tanks, the goliaths chase the carriers, the carriers chase the tanks and the tanks kill dragoons. carriers strength is the ability to unbalance your army comp more easily than you can theirs
Ethan Cox
had high hopes for this bad boy to make appearance last game
Dominic Phillips
dragoons vs tanks. i mean
Parker Miller
if people REALLY hate the other thread I'll still make another one but I'd rather not divide everyone and flood the catalog
Parker Morales
Oh god we can only pray that some decade this MAY happen. Only Larva trolling level Toss would do this. Let us pray for Mini to do this.
David Rodriguez
Terran has to get at least 2 attack to effectively combat carriers and even then he has to worry about the protoss ground army too. You can't just mass like a million goliaths and expect to win unless the protoss is a literal brainlet and has only carriers. Also you need a very specific map with limited ground area so you can abuse cliffs and other terrain as protoss.
Oliver Martinez
Terrans are actually so stupid that they whine about carriers when they could just go battlecruisers and yamato cannon all the carriers.
fucking idiots
Brody Butler
nobody is posting in that thread. Just do it and maybe a retardo mod isn't a newfag today.
Tyler Brown
There's some meta where making a scout makes sense. I've seen one in a pro game. It was that tourny Korean Air hosted a year ago that Rapid and Wolf hosted. And the P player lost right after. A scout was a desperation play.
Aaron Long
just make marines they can shoot the carriers and dragoons
Josiah Cruz
t. scout you're never seeing the light of day my man
Thomas Wright
it's a bad thread jim >not a starcraft image >it's a sample to boot >op is literally just copypasted >started too early kill it
Henry Reyes
that threads been up for 30 minutes and has 3 posts, i'd say your fine
Kayden Richardson
>Olleh tv Wait, it's not afreeca tv anymore? What happened?
Matthew Morgan
Don't be stupid. The retard who made the new thread didn't even put "korea time" in the subject line. This is your job, see to it.
John Taylor
>BCs in TvP It's asking to get SCOUTED
Daniel Morris
It's tough, you'll need overwhelming economy or to hit them in the timing window. Sitting back and making goliaths isn't really an option with a high success rate. But Terran is hardly a race known for mobility.
Hunter Diaz
ASL is an Ollehtv-Afreeca production. I think Olleh TV is like Korean netflix.
Carter Lopez
alright, here you go
Gavin Peterson
The frame has been broken
Adrian Rivera
They're different things. It's like Twitch having ads for Netflix
Aaron Flores
The more pain Mini feels the stronger he gets.
Jordan Thompson
Wha are the view numbes for korean stream?
Aiden Parker
much better
Nathan Bennett
No one cares what you want, just do it.
Kayden Gonzalez
about 7
Charles Clark
59k on Afreeca according to teamliquid
Cooper Watson
hard to say, they watch it restreamed on lots of channels, usually progamers so they can watch their commentary on it. Like Rain has 31k viewers watching his restream, plus like 15k on the official, plus heaps of other smaller streams. I'd say somewhere between 70-100k. Bigger names draw a lot more viewers than these guys
