a reminder there'll be a mini tourney thing played on the 13/14/20th of this month to test out the new maps for ASL8. I have no idea where/how this is being streamed
Good heavens
no choke today pls soulkey
>Action
>Soulkey

Should be decently fun to watch. At least there'll be a ZvZ shitshow, that's always entertaining. Tomorrow, however, is the real shit
>Last vs Rain

DAMN SON.
finally some good fucking korea
How the fuck is 40 yo Jaedong not retired yet? I haven't watched SC in some time
Awwwwwwwww shit son

My body is ready.

I'm actually one of the people who likes both games, but this is an area where SC2 will never even come close to BW if blizzard doesn't get its head out of its ass. Just about every single map in SC2's pool feels like every other single map, with minor changes in rotation and/or expo locations. They're all just series of chokepoints and high grounds, and it feels like every location in the center of the map can be described by its relative position to a ramp. I'm sure there are SC2 fans creating interesting maps out there (there was an interesting one last year that reminded me a lot of Third World), but Blizzard just picks a handful of nigh-on palette swaps for every season's pool.
Rice, chicken, and special spicy gravy. We going Asian tonight.

Now this is a night.
I like to call him the Villain Zerg. He looks evil somehow, and I love it.
Drugs are hard to come by in Korea, so Nick replaced pot with alcohol. The result is that he's a mid 30's fat alcoholic.
Alright boys, post your predictions.
>Action vs Soulkey (ZvZ, bo5)
Hard call, but I'd say Soulkey. Narrowly.
>Mini vs ForGG (PvT, bo5)
Mini all the way, mate.
0-3 0-3 0-3
>good
Uh, Terror is Mafia Zerg.
He looks like a super villain.
finally real korea time and not the cancer that is sc2
Quit bullying Nick.
Cool blog.
>Ad for a product only in Korea
>text is alaised
3-0's, i have your same winners
Nick is "Mr. Wasted potential". Aiming low and never going above that. He could be doing so much more.
Action looking ready to bash some skulls in.
I don't make the nicknames
Fuck i wish they'd provide subs for that ad they always play
>empty seats
LOL
I made me a big ol bowl of bullshit
>carnita meat

and then some corn tortillas to eat with it. good stuff
Going to pick Action for this first one, 3-1
You can buy it on playasia
Soulkey sucks at zvz
where did action get this hair from?
did he comb it from the back to the front or something?
>ZvZ
may as well flip a coin and save us the time

He's literally one of the godfathers of esports casting how higher can you get
All I know is dong will lose because we can't have nice things.
Soulkey is much better at zvz than action and action can't really pull off any crazy builds in this matchup
I cried burger flavored tears
>20 year old "strategy game"
1 strategy
WEW
>no in-game music
so thats why everything feels so empty
FUCK didn't miss any games that was close.
The volume levels are just way off
it's there, it's just really quiet. you can hear it when they're not talking
>Nick
it's zvz, be grateful you didn't miss the entire series
It's just very quiet because the KSL sound guy is absolutely fucking useless.
Fuck, I'm late. At least it looks like I haven't missed much.
I mean shit, there's been mutas out for a few minutes that's something at least.
Sh-shut up.
Where's flash? Did he stopped playing in tournaments?
He got caught kissing a man so he's in jail.
sold out to chinks
>mid-game ZvZ
This is where the kino starts.
>night opens with a zvz that goes longer than 10 minutes
it's a sign that the games tonight will be blessed

Soulkey had so much SHIT

>no goals
>highlight of his life is watching GDQ while drinking vodka in his underwear
>no children
Nick was cool, but he turned into a fat loser.
subtitles fucking when
Living the dream
He kinda is and at the same time not really. I mean he's got no ambition but he seems content with where he is and what he's doing which is admirable in a way.
Only thing I don't understand is how him and Artosis still haven't learned Korean. I mean come on...
zvz I sleep
more English fans than Korean?
CODY -->
>Only thing I don't understand is how him and Artosis still haven't learned Korean. I mean come on...
They have no need. There's enough Americans and Koreans who know English that they can get by. And Artosis sends his kids to an English school anyways . They live in little American Town more or less.
You don't get it, he achieved his goals and ambitions.
>that equal gas
kino
>Action mining gas 0.5 seconds faster than Soulkey because of his spawn position
Nice game
You fucked it up bro
oh shit, I nearly forgot
Action with the 530apm. I struggle to even get over 300 while spamming in the first minutes
nice muta bro
That's GG for sure.
>spire goes down
hoo boy
NICE MUTAS BRO
gg
Nicely played
Welp, a 1-1.
IT'S NOT A 3-0
Why is she so sweet and cute? What's she up to?
it's kinda fucked to live in another country and not learn the native language especially since it's so prominent. i fucking hate when mexicans can barely speak english, so if i lived there i would feel obligated to not be a literal parasite.
Probably getting railed by some high roller businessman since every "idol" or whatever the equivalent is in Korea is basically a meathole for hire.
>600 apm

I'm having trouble staying awake
but neutral creep tho
I TOLD YOU ABOUT LING FLOOD
I TOLD YOU DAWG
I don't think I've ever seen so many lings die all at once before. this match is great
ah yes, i see, i totally understand

Well done, Soulkey.

God I fucking LOVE ZvZ
haha yeah Kappa bro xD
that overlord placement was sick though

Mistakes:
1. Letting SK kill the sunken. Links should fight in front, and the Sunken does damage from behind. If it's defended it's invincible.
2. Not rebuilding the sunken.
kespaaaaa
whens hydra
mistake 1 I give you
2 was pretty much impossible at that point
wow big choke from action. if he had controlled his mutas better he would have won.
Build 1 sunken on the high ground. Dives lings away.
At least it was better then Leenock v Rogue in GSL on Tuesday.
One match lasted 3 minutes ingame, the other 4...
no creep in range
oh you mean at the top, thought you meant front.
yea that might've been an idea
soulkey pls no lose
I used to go to /f/ and they'd play that clip all the time.
I like Vultures and Mutas more than lings.
Is there a youtube channel that uploads those games later?
just watch the vods on twitch, they even crop it to sets
>Wow static defense is so shit it costs money and a drone
>Instead lose several drones, lots of lost mining time, micro micro micro
Sure saved those 200 minerals!
he's just copying flash, the best staracraft player ever, who refused to build a single turret when got dropped like 3 times ina row
we getting a upset today boiz?
>3 spores
we going hive?
Hoping for a lategame ZvZ. Complete with Queens and Devourers.
Man these are some long ZvZs
Hoping you stop being an obnoxious weeb and posting faggy anime pictures for no reason.
>100 supply in ZvZ
So soulkey advances. Was Action vs Mini close? Because Mini is very likely to win the losers match, so we'll get a rematch.
absolutely over. well done soulkey.
Uh oh.
Hello, I maek Muta
Brood War is TERRIBLE
Been watching and playing a lot of zvz, the games are starting to go longer for some reason.
i maek muta
Well as far as ZvZ's go that was a really good set at least.
gg
So many mutas
Well that was a good series.
GG
Actually really good zvz
Brood War is GREAT
just ignores his muta and flies over to kill the spire lol
Every zerg is turning more into a pussy
I really like that he stayed in the game just to watch the massive amount of mutas fight even after he knew he'd lost
Most mutas I've ever seen.
yeah I appreciated that
2 units
ahahahaha
RIP.
It's double-elimination right? So he gets another chance?
>forgg
fast 0-3 incoming
Remember to not reply to sc2babs
1a2a3a4a5a
Remember that there were 13k watching SC2 yesterday. 3k watching boomer war.
It's dead.
you mean the one sc2bab that still exists
I miss based blue haired girl tbqh . Cheering for Bomber all day every day
And how many were watching either in Korea, the place that actually matters for Starcraft?
>two dead games
jej
More than the empty SC1 studio. ahhahaha
He has to go up against the winner of ForGG vs Mini and win that to proceed to RO8
Fucking legend.
Why are people so negative? Just watch the game and talk about BW instead of complaining.
If Starcraft dies, would Tastosis be forced to get real jobs?
Korean Starcraft is on life support and limping along.
Action looks like a boomer though
Remember that gay song Ken Ashcraft or whatever made gushing about Nick Tasteless?
I've only gotten 15 seconds into that song, and it's just too embarassing to continue.
Gotta fight incel with incel.
Starcraft won't die. ASL is still doing good, it's just KSL that's fucked because Blizzard
They would just cast a different esport
i think it's mostly the sc2 players. have you ever watched a GSL stream? i don't mean that in a rude way. the chat is insufferable there, everyone is constantly crying about balance. there's some annoying people in the sc1 streams but notice how no one ever cries about balance because it's pointless. that alone culls so much of the nonstop shit talk, so all sc2 players can cry about is basically the game being dead which no brood war player really cares about because it's relevant again in korea and the community is happy with small victories.
>ASL is still doing good,
ASL is smalltime compared to things like OGL's. The GOMTV tournaments were never the biggest, just got the most attention outside of Korea because they had English casting. ASL is GOMTV tier, but never as big as the bigger tournaments.
This is literally the first time ever there's been negativity about Brood War in these threads. The SC2 baby sticks out like a sore thumb it's pathetic.
They'll just go back to casting tekken
Half of broodwar units are broken nonsense that they all balance each other out.
by never using them?
Have you seen Nick Tasteless Plott casting LoL, or shooters or anything else? He knows nothing about them.
Only unit that's never used is the Scout. Poor Scout.
He'll just jump into the next esport which nobody comparably knows nothing about. It's entirely possible to crossover games his brother did it multiple times
He doesn't know anything about brood war either. Doesn't stop him.
>believing memes
He knows SC:BW well. He lives and breathes the games. Once his hands recover, he'll be in top form again.
don't respond, no point
you don't have to know anything about a game to cast it. i've almost never watched an esport with a commentator that has an idea what they are talking about. that's not even a statement to me being good either. artosis and tasteless have a long legacy, if SC ever actually died (not likely) they'd migrate easily.
>He got the scoop up!

THAT TVP WAS SHORTER THAN THE ZVZS
they were talking about the new season of sc2 ladder maps on artosis's show, it looks like sc2 maps are moving back towards BW-style more gimmicky maps like one with a path directly through the middle of the map that has zones that slow you down
>gg
>gg
>gg
Three GG.
someone post the webm where mini spergs out
>they were talking about the new season of sc2 ladder maps on artosis's show,
How can people care enough that there's like, shows on this? You watch GSL or KSL, and then that should be enough.
>cant lose shuttles if you only build zealots
the studio they're in now has a little cafe/lounge/kitchen area next to the stage. it's actually kinda cool, they had a map of it somewhere, it was in a basement in the city
Their BW only episode was a good intro look into the scene
wish they'd replace these recycled break bits with titty sambo
Eh, I put it on in the background sometimes while i'm working. But they obviously get enough viewers to keep it going
That map has the same problem where it's just a couple paths winding through a bunch of ramps and chokes. The slow zones are neat, but I'm curious if pros won't just ignore them entirely if going through them is as fast or slower than going around with the ramp side paths. Apparently the Korean pros are already vetoing that map so much in online tournaments that they just asked the guy running one tournament to stop wasting their time by not having it pre-vetoed.
>Let's do Proxy again
the absolute dishonesty of Toss right now
THE DISHONESTY ON THIS PROTOSS
PUNISH HIM
Was it anything like "Hyungjoon Becomes A Progamer"?
That show was top fucking tier.
Mini doesn't respect 4GG, and just wants the matches to end fast.
Jesus this fucker cheesing with zealot again
>canceled factory
tilted
forgg pls
>Fact cancel
This game is over
I can micro better than this guy on the N64 version of Broodwar.
ALWAYS ON
OLEH TEEVEE :)
lol this is like me vs a random 2k terran on ladder
traded 5 goons for 1 tank
>protoss tries to 1a through mines
I'd even take Tropicana spahkuring at this point
gg
forgg just doesn't have enough even with that great trade
is forgg even trying. bad micro against the rush and just giving up now
>mfw the ZvZs last longer than the TvPs
HYUK HYUK
CAM ON 4GEEGEE, KILL SOME FAKKING GOONS
Fucking protoss cheese.
SC2 destroyed that man
Today I will remind them.
reminder that forgg lucked through the qualifiers, he only had to beat light offracing as protoss due to flash dropping out. I don't think he's ready to be playing tournaments again just yet
I don't disagree, sadly
Maybe next time
forgg bad username. more like forbg
Would you pay a grand to get a monthly phonecall from tasteless?
The entire concept of this makes me laugh because it sounds exactly like something he would suggest
That's just weird for everyone involved.
lmao what the fuck
That'd be so awkward. You don't know the guy, but he's like, contractually obliged to just call you up once a month. So like, are you friends? You're hiring what amounts to like, a friend prostitute. What would you even talk about?
gotta get that drug money somehow
Think he could do ASMR over the phone, or read chapters of War of the Worlds.
Can you even imagine that phone call
"Hey user, this is Nick"
"sup, you fat and disease riddled orson welles"
"no refunds"
>Ywn have phone sex with Tasteless
Not with that attitude, it's just 1 grand.
That probe micro to dodge the marines was sick
>"sup, you fat and disease riddled orson welles"
So Orson welles?
>video games are going to absolute shit
>but pro brood war still exists
This is the kind of thing that starts as a joke but then someone actually does it and it becomes awkward as fuck.
>Mini + Shuttle
Is there better duo?
reeee I was unable to attend today where can I watch the vods? I can't into this zoomer-twitch shit
Reminder that reavers make women wet

What the fuck was that? Drives his tank straigh up to the main and sieges lol
just roll on up and siege the probe line

Wow, it's like you need a degree in IT for this.
he also had only one Starport
if it was Leta, it would be pic related
There's enough lonely SC fans who use Tastosis as friend simulators, that this is almost possible.
Biggest problem is that the tasteless podcast is boring and too niche, just nerd shit.
thenks frens
isn't Tasteless kind of fat or unhealthy now? feels weird looking at him atm.
You could say it's pretty tasteless.
>as you approach orgasm tasteless whispers with true passion "this is looking like the beginning of the end, he's going tap out any second"
>GEE GEEEEEEE
I miss that cloaked flying nigga like you wouldn't believe
I hate when they say "this might be the beginning of the end" when it's already the end of the end.
if everybody who posts in these threads clubbed in 10 bucks we would conference call tasteless to describe to him our disappointment in his physical condition
Oh wow, what a great joke. This is the first time I heard it used in context. I would upvote if I could.
>You're hiring what amounts to like, a friend prostitute
In America we call those "therapists"
Silence!
>isn't Tasteless kind of fat or unhealthy now? feels weird looking at him atm.
He's lived the sedentary "nerd life" combined with "fratboy life" and it's starting to catch up to him. He has nothing serious, just he drinks too much and never moves. Literally all he needs to do is stop drinking and hit the gym and he'd be in great shape.
>So Nick, considering you're both a fatass and a drunk, can you still get your dick up?
>How many STDs did you catch from Korean hookers?
For 1,000 a month, I guarantee you Nick would be fine commentating your masturbation sessions.
What does Nick even spend his cash on? He lives alone, has no pets, no wife, no kids. Artosis has THREE kids he has to support. I get that.
The only explanation is Nick loves Cocaine.
On the food of course. Tasteless gotta maintain that Welles physique.
he has like 10 cats
He'd be healthier if he had to walk some dogs instead
jesus what a cheeser
HE SNUCK OUT A PROBE
All he had to do was focus on the nexus
this is kino
Best match of today desu...
holy fuck this game can't be real
i love broodwar
This is so fucking cool
Shield Battery, brilliant.
>Make another Nexus
HOLY FUCK ABSOLUTE MADNESS
WHAT THE FUCK
THIS FUCKING GAME
This is fucking insane
UNLIMITED SECRET NEXUSES
AAAAAAAAAAA
>HE DIDN'T KILL THE FIRST NEXUS
THIS FUCKING GAME BAHAHAHA

FUCK
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
jesus fucking christ, this game
god DAMN what a game
4gg should have won this. blundered hard with his shitty micro
gg
sick
>MY SOUL AFTER THAT FUCKING GAME
GAMES LIKE THAT ARE WHY WE FUCKING WATCH THIS
THAT WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST
Holy shit this fucking GAME
this
What an awful game. Wasted so much time despite having the superior army and then he doesn't even kill the nexus
Fucking amazing.
the shuttle saved Mini's life in this game
You had full map vision
>I am just euphoric right now
Protoss is always way too OP
Has he un-cursed himself?
That's because he sent away all his buildings into the next star system before he realized he needed them
>builds shield battery instead of probing up
at that point, he didn't know about the sneaky probe shuttle and it was both sides playing refugee escape
There were so many factors to consider in that situation. This game is so great.
Don't lie on the internet and say you wouldn't have done the same thing. That's fucking step #1 in base trade scenario
>Working out of Columbia trading organs
lel
I wouldn't have if I was pro, but pros never practice for these things. Always make the dumbest choices in these situations
That shuttle was being the driven by the soul of the shuttle he left to be killed by wraiths on sparkle
See you tomorrow.
That was game of the year.
Why no interview with Mini?
I alos realized KSL doesn't have Stargirl 1 or Stargirl 2.
well that last game saved this entire season of KSL at the very least.
DO NOT MISS TOMORROW NIGHT. OR JAEDONG WILL COME ROUND YOUR HOUSE AND BREAK YOUR LIMBS
Seems they're only interviewing people who advance to the next round, instead of the winner of every match. We don't know why KSL would do that, but that's the pattern so far.
That's a big group
how is a guy with broken arms going to break my arms?
>BREAK YOUR LIMBS
*steal your wrist ligaments
It does exactly the same as ASL. ASL only interviews the people who advance, but since the KSL splits it up into multiple days you're not gonna see the interview till next week.
Sucks to be you, JD doesn't have wrist ligaments anymore.
Oh yeah, that's actually true. The difference is just that KSL has ridiculously long group stages, then.
How will JD break my limbs without wrists?
ksl is just a shit format. only sc2 zoomers think it's superior.
Yes, with limited intel Forgg's gut reaction move was to slowly ferry his buildings around, not fly them to an area where he knows 100% his most valuable resource can't be hit, all the while protoss eats up the map. You can't get into a base trade scenario and know exactly what to do because every base trade is completely different. So yes, Forgg conceived his wall idea in the moment, because that's what you fucking do when you're in that position, just like everything Mini chose to do with his resources.
You're a fucking retard. It's obvious you've never played a game of starcraft, let alone played out a base trade scenario. You only watch and make contrarian reactions in hindsight. Stop trying to be cool when all you are is a dumb faggot.
jesus, he just got slaughtered
It's true I got map vision but pros make amateur mistakes when it comes to base trades. He made wrong decisions which led to his defeat. I can't make it any clearer than that. If he was a better player he would have won easily because a few dragoons and a shuttle vs that army would be easy pickings. Again, he didn't even destroy the nexus and left his tank to get killed off from the high ground. That's a huge noob mistake
Its easy to be a SC1 pro cause only 15 people still play the game
KSL is such a weird format
>Last, Rain, JD and Stork
Fuaaaaaark see you tomorrow boys. Hopefully with less faggotry ITT.
It's a pretty old format used back in the day as well
I'll hand them over for free if it means he can return to his former glory ;_;7
It's not so much the format, but more of how long everything takes.
Have you never seen double elim before?
Korea looks like a paradise.
Any downsides?
Vainest country on earth
No niggers though.
When do these vids usually go on youtube?
If you want the basic videos of each match, they already made a video on twitch of each match. You can fastforward through any commericials that are still in there.
twitch.tv
Takes a bit for the youtube videos I believe.
