side note: The shortlist of maps for ASL8 have been announced. Shine? I think is hosting a little tournament to test them out later this month over a few days. featuring: (T)Flash, (T)Last , (T)Sharp (Z)Larva, (Z)Action, (Z)Calm (P)Rain, (P)Mini, (P)Snow
13th Tvp, 14th ZvP, 20th TvZ
The maps themselves are fucking weird. Multiverse looks like a updated semi-island version of python. Tripod looks like a more interesting transistor with siegeable platforms at the nats plus you need to break through walls on the ramps to access the centre platform bases. The last one is one of those fucking weirdo mix maps where's it's 4 quarters of famous maps sewn together. I doubt that will make it through.
These graphics in mordhau are pretty good but this gameplay leaves something to be desired. They need more stamina, they keep falling over and laying there.
Now I really wanna watch that World of Tanks cast. Because Tastosis are that good. That just shows how well liked they are in that business over there.
I would watch noting but these guys talking shit for two hours.
Thomas Evans
Cute gays.
David Jenkins
>scripted jokes nick about to spill the beans
Isaiah Diaz
FINALLY
Levi Sullivan
>Should we start the game? >No.
God they are the best casting duo. They're even better than professional sportscaster teams.
Jayden Nguyen
IT BEGINS
Brody Roberts
I love Corn On The Cob, they're my favorite band
Cooper Thomas
That makes sense, saving a portion of their chemistry for a rainy day.
Nicholas Lewis
Because you need casters and not fans. TV stations do that all the time. Hire someone who has experience hosting something even if he/she has no clue about what the show is about or what is going on.
Jaxson Robinson
Buttered corn is very tasty.
Elijah Evans
GOTTEM
Christopher Williams
Can you stop shitting up the thread please? This is one of the only times I get to participate in a thread on this board that isn't fucking ruined by faggots like you.
Nolan Williams
Imagine being two young nerds with the balls to go to korea and cast your favorite game. At a time when no one gave a fuck about esports.
William Morgan
yeah but there's a difference between just hosting something and casting it. Iwith a host you're just there to keep things going and then you can rely on the casters/panel who know the game and can go in depth. but if it's just two dudes who don't know anything about it trying to give commentary it's just going to be kinda painful and awkward. just imagine if noregret's first bw cast had been solo
Jeremiah Hill
Didn't tasteless like quit his PhD because he wanted to pursue his casting career? Balls on that guy.
>PhD I doubt that of a guy who couldn't practice for one week to do his guitar finals

Wyatt Anderson
All that but ample still has same supply,
Hudson Johnson
Is Miso just throwing now?
Chase Myers
I felt a great disturbance in the psi, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.
You missed Tastosis filling time while there was a delay to start. It was just them talking about old times and other shit they could think of. Very comfy.
I thought it was about on par. There's maybe a few missions that are notably harder, but if you've completed the original campaign you should be able to figure out the expansion.
Hudson Lewis
I think BW's a bit more difficult than vanilla SC, especially the final few missions as Zerg.
Joseph King
Enjoy "To Slay the Beast" hardest fucking mission in Entire Starcraft franchise
Asher Moore
Isn't Miso the name of some Jap soup/broth?
Jeremiah Adams
>I didn't occur to me that you had to expand. Literally me.
>be Zerg >make mutas >win >sometimes lose but that’s just because you didn’t transition to ultras and it’s your own fault vs. >be Terran >always lose >sometimes win, but only by the skin of your teeth and under constant harassment by enemy mutas and lings forever How is this game fair again?
Charles Cox

idra rage in that teamliquid bw tourny was great too.
Cameron Robinson
Who was in the wrong here?
Aaron Campbell
>the scout drone ruse oh god oH FUCK
Hudson Hall
oh, that was a great fake
lel
Jason Ramirez
You just straight up delete them before they can build any Ultras
Gavin Brooks
It's not, it hasn't been patched for balanced at all, every build had to be perfected to play against other races, for example protoss instalost against zerg before the corsair opening was made.
That poor fucking drobe, all he wanted to do was make a evo chamber to heal
he was so close
Tyler James
Yeah, that was pretty funny to see Artosis be proven wrong as he's saying it.
Hudson Carter
Looks like miso lost....
Dominic Brooks
tesagi is real
Cameron Wright

Eli Powell
what do you think is better balanced, sc1's dark swarm, or sc2's blinding cloud?
Logan Ward
I love how firebats have become common again. I remember them being a rare sight for a long time.

Dominic Martin
FIREBATS ARE CUTE THEY'RE SO HAPPY WHEN THEY STIM AND RUN AROUND FRANTICALLY FLAMING EVERYTHING
William Gutierrez
ppp
Carson Barnes
easy 3-0 for Snow desu
Colton Torres
I think it's because mutas are no longer the key unit for zerg like they once were. Terrans are too good at dealing with them, the turret timings are so tight and it's too easy to lock them out.
Eh, I wouldn't call Shine or Miso super strong opponents, i don't think either of them excel vs terran. He's definitely improving though.
I'm liking seeing more terrans in the ro8 though.
Jeremiah Wright
I've missed all of the ksl so far what should I go back to watch.
Leo Evans
Great production values.
Aiden Ortiz
>korean """"""""""""""''humor""""""""""""""""""""
Lucas Long
I want to learn korean just to appreciate this commercial
Easton Kelly
I only know how to play SC2, what's the best way of learning BW just enough to watch games and understand them (not play)?
Christian Edwards
If you have no intention of getting gud just play the campaign. It'll give you a feel of all the units, what they can do and how hard it is to maintain control.
Jack Turner
keep watching. i understand enough to know what plays are good, bad, or stylish, just from watching and not playing. i tried the campaign but i gave up because i already had a big backlog of other games to play.
I did play the first few missions of the campaign but I found it quite boring because they felt like tutorial missions, but I already know how to build units and stuff from SC2 I guess I'll power through those first few missions but I wish it had difficulty modes
Elijah Cox
Game doesn't really get difficult until the end of the first game's campaign and broodwar's second half
Julian Smith
>I did play the first few missions of the campaign but I found it quite boring because they felt like tutorial missions Yeah they slow-roll the campaigns in SC.
BW is much harder but it starts out strange with BW Protoss 1 being an adventure map.
Owen Hernandez
No you were banished there back in 2011 get the FUCK back there.
Queen chucks the egg sack at the tank penetrating hull. The Spawnling eat the man, then with the nourishment from that, destroy the tank. If they don't get that fresh meat almost instantly, then they die. Thats how.
Justin Wood
not really anything, it was just the fact that flash was so good at 5 rax SK terran. Somebody pointed out there were 6 barrackses but that's the fault of the extra dude on the album cover
>two mechanical units >only one of them is affected because of an arbitrary reason nice game
Owen Howard
a popular strategy of making a lot of barracks(rax) to produce a lot of bio units, that was used pretty well by a player named Flash.
Ethan Bennett
Lol great stupid excuse. If broodlings could get inside a tanks hull why wouldnt they enter a fucking reaver? They can`t destroy the electronic parts inside there ? This is stupid.
Ethan Hill
oh wait, did you mean the actual band? It's grandmaster flash & the furious five
see broodlings need flesh. robot units like reavers have no flesh, they're pure "beep boop fuck the drones", while tanks have a fleshy human bean in them.
Hudson Russell
Go feed your dog pieces of a combustion engine and see how long it survives.
You didn't even read my post, why the fuck is real life logic affecting in game mechanics when a lot of other shit isn't?
Alexander Gray
ˢᵐᵒᶫ ᴱᴰᴰʸ
Jayden Sanchez
Its not about how long it lives. It should damage reavers for instance (considering what I said in ) but then not spawn any broodlings. Based on your answers at least.
Exactly. This mechanic is fucked up in regards to reality lol. But no problem, BW is a gr8 game
Anthony Nguyen
Why do Muta's flap their wings in space? Thanks now you have broken the reality of this Science fiction game for me.
Worst game ever.
Never looking back
Liam Carter
watching 1v1 games is so boring. they should do 2v2 or 3v3 tourneys instead to make things more spicy.
Gabriel Watson
How long did it take you guys to realize that the numbers that go with the letter of the race below the players names meant their starting position on the map? It took me almost half a year to realize it
Jonathan Morgan
>affecting in game mechanics Do mutas having wings flapping around change things? No you stupid fucking mutt, learn to read.
Benjamin Davis
honestly i think it would just make broodling too strong. Reavers are probably the most valuable single unit in the game, if you take scarabs into consideration. If you could instantly pop them straight away, protoss just wouldn't use them past early game.
It's like the scout. The scout is so good that nobody builds the units it counters vs. protoss. So it never gets used.
Aaron Harris
2v2's would be too broken to be playable imho
Ayden Phillips
No? Those are their IDs for the brackets
Cameron Butler
oh my god, i was wrong it was circuitbreaker all along
Yeah, that's right. It's a shame he's been playing more conservatively after he got BTFO by Flash and his starsense. >the time he sent a bunch of speed Overlords over his opponent's main >opponent pulls his whole army back to the main >Overlords are actually empty >Shine sends his army to destroy all his opponents expansions
Do you guys think Tastosis ever checked out what is being said about them on Korea times ? lol I love Yea Forums man, its where shit that cant be said on twitch and stuff comes out
Lucas Lewis
What will it be boys? A 3-0? Or will Shine win one here?
Elijah Taylor
Barring a huge blunder, I'm thinking 3-0. Snow has been all over Shine.
Angel Morgan
They probably don't, they've probably fallen for the "Yea Forums is part of the evil dark web" meme stuff. Rapid might be aware of the fact that we exist but uses twitter and reddit instead.
Brody King
Tasteless is fucking killing it today.
Lucas Cruz
EAT BIG TO GET BIG COME ON
William Rivera
God i fucking love these nerds, i don't even care if this a 3-0
Mutas expel a gas everytime they flap their wings which propels them forward in space.
Hunter Jones
is shine making it?
ive been eating sardines, str8 out of the can
Lucas King
I feel like Tastosis is drunk and/or sleepy right now.

Aaron Reed
Good god, I love how much they don't give a shit right now
Ryder Garcia
>They probably don't, they've probably fallen for the "Yea Forums is part of the evil dark web" meme stuff Considering how savvy their jokes are I really doubt that. Tasteless has that classic shitposter attitude and Artosis is genuinely a critical thinker.
shine made it! hope we get to see some cool cheese this match
no, but he sounds like a cool guy
Samuel Lewis
They've been on the internet for 20 years. They remember exactly what the early days of the internet was like, fuck they spent most of their teenage years trashtalking in battlenet chatrooms.
I remember we once got a shoutout during the GOMtv days, that was about it.
Jordan Thomas
I hope Tastosis would keep casting until they're old, like 50+ years old. That'd be a reason to keep watching Korea Time til 2040.
Joshua Anderson
There was an user who got a photo with rapid while holding a Korea time sign recently, but I can’t find it. Rapid didn’t know what it meant
Joseph Smith

gud games today. Shine vs. Snow was good. Snow actually played pretty well.
Thomas Sullivan
Snow's pretty good, but to be fair Shine isn't exactly the strongest Zerg around. But still, good game.
Man, if only Shine's awareness had been better. He had good defenses set up several times but let Snow get past them because he didn't respond in time.
Kevin Lopez
>spore colony no one ever makes this shit
Isaac Phillips
I can't believe next friday is Rain vs. Last Jaedong vs. Stork
holy FUCK
Jackson Butler
Korean voices???? Wot???
Jaxson Taylor
well see
if there's a lot of corsairs
maybe
maybe we should
Charles Peterson
The "Voice of Legends" thing that's been shown a few times it's a voice pack for SC1.
"Have a good morning, afternoon, or night wherever you are" is the most classy and futuristic line ever said in any braodcasted events.
Lucas Foster
It's just like a korean announcer pack. It replaces the in game notifications and tells you stuff. Tastosis did one for SC2 i think
Camden Martinez
His wrists are 6 feet under user...
Logan Hall
Alright, stay safe lads. Until next week. It's a nice line, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Just like when Tasteless says 'We love you guys!' and blows a kiss.
>Rain vs. Last >Jaedong vs. Stork Confirmed for kino games. Will not miss any of it.
Nolan Flores
I can really relate to Tasteless's transition from punk/scene kid to bootleg Orson Welles since I'm going the exact same path.
Jonathan Rivera
Don't romanticise it, you're getting old and fat

It was pretty clear Rapid was not just feigning ignorance as he first assumed it was some russian communiy since this was done during a LAN tournament in Russia.
