it's korea time bitches, and now we've finally eliminated all the terrans and zergs we can enjoy nothing but PvPs til the end of the season like it was meant to be >STORK VS. MINI (PVP, BO7) and tomorrow >RAIN VS. SNOW (PVP, BO7) so come get cosy and watch hot dragoon on dragoon action with your pals tastosis twitch.tv/starcraft
kinda funny on the pylon podcast they mention some new starcraft books and artosis makes a joke saying something like >maybe they explain why Jim Raynor went from hating Kerrigan to being in love with her and incontrol goes something like >yeah love is a strange and goes in ways you don't expect
KSL doesn't have cool music because Blizzard doesn't want to pay royalties I just put it on in the background while I watch the game youtube.com/watch?v=w3bWR_aLlas
good thing yamete has quotes around it so we know its a word being said not just letters floating in the air

Anna told him she wasn’t happy anymore. They did couples counseling but still couldn’t work it out. Anna became a cali girl just wanting pets and no kids.

Observers are probably some of the best units in the whole game. Debate me.
Jayden Davis
jittery gooks
David Watson
Didn't Tasteless and Artosis say they were the worst detection units in the game?
Oliver Cook
well it'll be the first map again tomorrow
Thomas Edwards
You're in the club when this nigga comes up and defiles your gf
BJ/streamer named cheolgu who made a bet with those kids. They lost and that was the end result. Ended up in Korean national news as well. Iirc, he had to pay a hefty fine for it.
Colton Lee
they both eliminate each other at the same time
Grayson Diaz
stalemates can happen after base races where both sides refuse to move out because one of them has dts and the other has an obs or whatever
David Moore
one guy with a reaver left but not enough minerals for scarabs to end it
Gavin Torres
There is a very old Pimpest Play in PvP where both parties have all but base-traded, both stuck having no production buildings and just a handful of units, and both had Dark Templar. One of the players used his remaining Dark Templar to block the ramp, denying the other Protoss the reach of his Pylon, which would have led to a draw, since his opponent had no detection. The Pimpest Play was that the opponent used 3 Dark Templar to morph a Dark Archon on the ramp leading to the Pylon, causing unit collision hitboxes to mess around with DT positioning, allowing the unmorphed DT to get past the Dark Templar blockade and snipe the last enemy building.
Brayden Sullivan
You could have a stalemate in any matchup situation where both factions are completely mined out / incapable of producing more units, and one side only has static defense while the other doesn't have enough units to break the static defense. The units die in a suicide attack, there are no more units left and buildings haven't been cleaned up = draw.
it's just that protoss gets played by the strongest players
Easton Phillips
Literally everyone already knows this Even the protoss players itt that will try and deny it know deep down
Charles Davis
9 makes me laugh. Reminds me of Big Man Tyrone.
Isaac Martinez
>it's the weakest >strongest units >strongest spellcasters >easiest control found the protoss player, enjoy your bw on easy mode >strongest players >implying I could beat current Rain in my iCCup prime and Stork is a slow, phased-out boomer carried by playing the easiest race
How short is your memory? Terran has literally dominated for the entirety of broodwar's history. Zerg has shit on Protoss traditionally with protoss only having a few short periods where they figure a playstyle that counters the current zerg meta in zvp but eventually it always goes back to favoring zerg. And when the fuck has protoss been good against Terran at pro levels? They've been fucking owned every since 2007 when the "Flash Build" (fast 3exp and 2/1 upgrades) was introduced.
Even in ladder play it's easy to beat protoss if you know what you're doing. Just use mines, dropships or do early tank marine vulture all-ins. Most low level protoss players are shit at clearing mines and dealing with drops which means you'll get super far ahead and then just finish them with a timing push.
David Wood
Stork is literally one of the smartest players. He won regularly against players like bisu, kal in 2008/09 even though he was as slow then as he is now.
Jackson Brown
>posts anime >is an idiot You wouldn't even be able to qualify, let alone beat a pro Korean of any race. You're either delusional or trolling.
>Terran has literally dominated for the entirety of broodwar's history Maybe when Lost Temple was the map to play >Zerg has shit on Protoss traditionally savior was an outlier. >And when the fuck has protoss been good against Terran at pro levels? Found the zoomer. Since always. Arbiters and Carriers are broken. Last is supposedly one of the best Terrans next to Flash and he lost to fucking Stork of all people in build order phase. Twice. >Even in ladder play it's easy to beat protoss if you know what you're doing. farming D-level players is easy with any race
Lucas Watson
I know he's gonna lose but I wanna see it play out, just be annoying to the winner and force him to build more cannons
Logan Barnes
Mini, the Lord of Dirt and Scum.
Andrew Ramirez
Is artosis's wife still a whale?
Camden Myers
>savior was an outlier. Bisu was the outlier regarding PvZ.
Ethan Parker
Not to be a >Flash fag but Flash is the only Terran I've seen consistently beat carriers in tournaments. I want Flash back. Streaming was a mistake
Austin Jenkins
Do you know why Zerg 3 hatch hydra all-in in every ZvP, zoom zoom? Because they don't stand chance outside of cheese in ZvP. You would know if you weren't such a clueless newfag.
>Maybe when Lost Temple was the map to play No you fucking retard, just look at all the tournament winners in BW history and you'll see most are terran then zerg then protoss. >savior was an outlier Did you forget jaedong? soulkey? julyzerg?
Lmao, protoss has always been shit on after 2007 at pro levels. Yeah, now stork won against last because he prepared well with builds that take advantage of the current terran builds.
And I meant B-A lvls when I talked about low level players.
David Bell
>I want Flash back Same man. This wouldn't be an all Protoss finals if he was here.
Because he's the same type of dumb zerg player that can't remember when zergs used to go for fucking queen rushes in zvt. And when zvz was even more boring than now.
Logan Torres
Korean caster voice pack for Brood War I assume.
Xavier Watson
tiny desk casters
Nathan Wright
ok mini make an end to this already. lets get this season of ksl over with
Why do all koreans develop droopy jowls once that start getting chubby?
Aaron Harris
WHERE IS HE
Gabriel Baker
>No you fucking retard, just look at all the tournament winners in BW history and you'll see most are terran then zerg then protoss. Yeah, because early maps like Lost Temple were skewed towards Terran. iloveoov and other "revolutionaries" that influenced BW came from a Terran background because that's the real skill race, but all Terrans have is a headstart. In modern BW understanding, Protoss is overpowered. The real loser race is Zerg, who never had good maps and was never good at all. >jaedong? soulkey? julyzerg? Shit ZvPers. JD in particular has always been overrated and now Tastosis is clueless sucking his dick while he always underperforms in tournaments. July was from a different era, and even then he wasn't extraordinary. Because that never happened, zoom. Larva only recently became a pro of any renome at all. Soulkey is a choker in tournaments.
There were 6 Protoss Dragons. How many Zerg or Terran dragons have there been? None.
Chase Garcia
Oh wait, that must have been why Bisu's win against savior is considered one of the most inflential matches ever. All that time before, Zerg got destroyed by Protoss! How could I forget?
>There were 6 Protoss Dragons. How many Zerg or Terran dragons have there been? Kek. How many Terran, Zerg and Protoss bonjwas have there been?
Leo Allen
>Zerg got destroyed by Protoss! wow it took people a while to figure out +1 speedlot/storm 1a2a3a and if you look at any of those old games, you will find that what zerg are doing is the same shit as always - hydra rushes outside of them, Zerg has no play
Leo Lee
>JD in particular has always been overrated >has 7 korean major tournament wins >has the golden mouse
Is mini going to win the final? How do you prepare for him after that match
Brayden Hill
GG Mini
James Rodriguez
Watching Mini lose is really fun since he just breaks down, but I kinda want to see his smile if he wins.
Aaron Anderson
>OSL medals only in the hands of a few select players from Terran and Zerg >meanwhile OSL Protoss medals always belong to someone else my point still stands, Protoss is overpowered, other races only work out for very dedicated players note that most of the Terran trophies come from iloveoov and his pupils same with how Maru single-handedly stops buffs to Terran even though it's the worst SC2 race
>protoss is overpowered >gets shown how terran wins more >"well you see.. I don't know who those protoss players, while flash is among the terran players, so anyone can just win if you're protoss" >ignoring that there are as many terrans as protoss getting gold, 8, just the terrans having more repeats It's an insane mental gymnastics you're going through to pretend that your point still stands in the face of the osl results.
Aiden Sullivan
What happened to Moletrap anyway? Haven't heard anything at all from him since the incident.
moletrap spends most of his time these days scouting out new to gently-used cardboard boxes and trying to stay dry
Brody Johnson
Yes if you want to play on the ladder. If you only care about the campaign you don't need it (unless you just want the game to look marginally nicer), and if you're among the very few that care about Starcraft modding, you don't need it either -- some really good campaigns (Inconsummate) work only on 1.16.1, the last of the "original" Brood War patches.
With the Stukov nerfs in SC2 co-op the allure of buying SC:R to have a good free commander is also diminished heavily
Samuel Gomez
then yeah probably
Ethan Howard
>the incident I only vaguely recall something going on, what was it about?
Jose Bennett
didn't he fuck a kid?
Camden Hall
whatever, enjoy watching your dead game as PvP becomes the standard finale of every starleague there's no convincing the literal protoss zealots using outdated anecdotal info and "muh flash" (who doesn't play anymore) that they're playing bw on easy mode
Landon Wood
Even most korean pro's agree that terran is overpowered, zerg and protoss are about equal. But hey, let's instead believe some b-rank scrub who can't beat protoss in ladder because he sucks.
ok bro
Samuel Mitchell
Watching some PvP is certainly better than incessant shitposting. Good day to you.
Christopher Rodriguez
Yes we should use your feelings instead of stats, or stats when we warp them to suit your feelings. That's very reasonable.
Carson Garcia
>Even most korean pro's agree that terran is overpowered >very few Terrans in the pro scene >of these very few Terrans only Flash and Last are any good >no Terrans in KSL semi finals, and they all lost to Protoss >race so overpowered there's no bandwagon of people switching to it >even Light recently tried switching to Protoss because of how bad his TvP is >meanwhile there's a shitload of Protoss everywhere you look ok
