In 1 hour and 17 minutes, 4am EST, GSL Code S finals will take place. Most people don't care but for the small amount that do, be aware.
IMO SC1 and 2 are great to watch, and SC2 is the best it has been. Lots of very interesting games, some shitters too, but it is 100x more interesting to watch than when SC2 was new. Check it out. Tastelots and Artytosis should be casting.
Blobing is still a tactic but there are plenty of interesting counters and strats aside from that.

If anyones bored out of their mind, this was a fun series I watched today.
Taking bets on whether or not Maru will speedrun these finals as well. Will it be a 4-0 bop as usual, or does Classic stand a puncher's chance?
Ive been watching this 2018 super tournament today and Maru got pooped on, so he can be pooped on again. I think it will be good, closer than 4-0, but Maru will win.
When will they buff Terran?
gay shit, sage
did they buff terrans?
I think Maru is singlehandedly preventing Terran from being buffed
seems like it
Warcraft 3 is better
its been 1 hr post link to stream
Innovation won recently too.
And youtube link

This one allows you to rewind while its live.
Take it to your shitty general
idra is gunna win as long as he doesn't tilt and gg early
>Just in time to skip the interviews but not late enough to miss the first game
>Be Classic
>Know that Blink all-ins have literally never once killed Maru since 20-fucking-14
>Blink all-in anyway
It's not even the first time he's done it against Maru, he opens with a Blink all-in every series against Maru for some retarded reason, and he always loses.
Is Maru... Dare I say it, the Flash of SC2?
He's getting there, but to be a Flash he has to continue being the best for a few years.
no zerg roaches this time
There isn't a general
based but im never playing the remake fuck blizzard
...
based classic taking the finals, mark my words
Took me by surprise too. Luckily, on Youtube, you can skip back and if you fall behind, just skip the intermissions and watch the game.
Man, Classic is absolutely shitting the bed today.
>fixes controls so it doesn't take 20 inputs to move your army once
>add cookie clicker macro mechanics
wtf were they thinking
Tempest Shield Battery pushes don't give me cancer at all.
They don't make me want to break anything.
It is a perfectly honest build.
I fucking hate Protoss.
maru demoralized
SICK
How the fuck are you even meant to hold that build. The 1 base Tempest Shield Battery bullshit is bad enough, but how the fuck are you meant to stop a 2 base version.
Every fucking Protoss is going to be doing that on ladder for weeks now. I hate it.
Is SC2 still F2P?
rip brofestor hit squad
ya
did i miss the first 4 games? were they good?
First game Classic gets dumpstered doing a stupid Blink All-in, second game was good, third game was shit, fourth game was the most cancerous cheese ever invented by Classic.
Classic is getting DT Blink.
Blink DTs incoming.
>unit with siege range, hits both air and ground, doesn't have to sacrifice mobility
great design from blizzard as always
NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED
>Classic has 10 Tempests
>Better go BC's
Tempests are fucking disgusting, what is this shit?
>BC's
Never fucking mind.
lmao
How the fuck did Classic get into the finals? How the fuck do you actually lose 12 Tempests to 7 BCs?
He thought he could fight the BCs to face without abusing his range, then got sandwiched by the huge Viking army he conveniently forgot about
tempest rushes
Is this good meta or bad?
SC2 is so less interesting than SC1
I miss Brood War.
k
Did classic's brain just blow up half way through that last game? He had 3 fucking warp prisms going together and ran into those two widow mines so many times like he either fatigued or something
It's abusive as shit because some of the maps in the pool let Tempest hit your CC while still being in range of Shield batteries
Why? KSL starts in 4 days, qualifiers were last week, ASL jut ended. There's plenty of BW going on.
It's just something I fell out of watching is all.
shut the fuck up faggot I'll kill you
Correct.
Only games I've enjoyed were Serral games.
You couldnt kill easy AI
Uh I'm Korean, I can kill you and AI while fingering your mother at a speed of 400 APM
>Going InControl DT Rush in the fucking Code S final
What the fuck is wrong with Classic
go blog about poker and your frogfaced waifus
I guess his age is catching up with him. What a terrible finals
lmao
You are Australian
gotta admire tastosis trying to breathe life into this dead match
full tryhard mode, i can picture them joking about it while they are saying it
That was just terrible, go to the military already classic
TvP, PvP, TvT should be illegal
4 in a row eh
It's been a while since I haven't seen any SC2
hahaha wtf... not me
ok im out prob last time i ever visit these threads cya
Literally, unironically the only Sc2 Bonjwa
yes, i agree
the only good matchup is zvz in brood war
sure maru is pretty good but idra could dumpster him any day of the week
fuck you white pig
Maru killed SC2
Let's move on now
Wrong. Maru killed terran. Terran desperately needs buffs but won't get it because of Maru.
I think when he realized he can't win late game, he decided to go all in on those risky plays.
bretty gud finals, worth it for the game 5
have fun in boot camp classic
well that was a gay ass finals, why doesn't SC2 rent out big arenas like ASL and KSL do for the finals?
Oh well, this kept me interested while BW was between seasons. I'll see you korea time nerds for the start of KSL on the 18th, don't miss it
Terran is both the weakest race and the strongest.
It is the best designed race by far, the most versatile and deepest, and has the highest skill ceiling. Maru is demonstrating this.
Therefore to 'balance' the game protoss and zerg have to have artificially strong units and mechanics to compensate for the fact that they have much lower skill ceilings, and Terran has to be gimped to give them a chance.
>why doesn't SC2 rent out big arenas like ASL and KSL do for the finals?
Because it's the rainiest part of the year all throughout Oceania right now.
But that's when super tournament starts. God damn it rapid is gonna be casting some shit isn't he
Unironically this, only ZvX matchups feel different, every other matchup has flaws - (P)hoenix vs (P)hoenix, (T)wobase timing vs (P)ressure, (T1)units vs (T1)units.
Overall SC2 feels like cancer patient with remissions, sometimes it looks alive other times it rotting on a deathbed.
Phoenix aren't the meta in PvP anymore, and Tanks, Vikings and Liberators aren't T1 units. What the fuck are you talking about?
Miss 2007. I lived in Korea back then, and there were at least 5 channels that had starcraft games on. Jaedong was actually good then, and casters were enthusiastic about their job
really? That only lasts for a few days though right? I hope they don't overlap, I need tastosis back for BW
Muahahhaha! SC2 wins again
He left before Legacy of the Void
I know because I did too
