TASTOSIS HAVE BEEN SENT TO FIX CHINA SO OUR CAST WILL BE DONE BY A MUMBLY SCOTTISH GIRL AND A BALDIE
BE PREPARED FOR SHIT TO GET BORDERLINE EXPERIMENTAL
>TASTOSIS HAVE BEEN SENT TO FIX CHINA
Explain further
Did Winnie the Pooh steal our casters?
iunno, they went to china to cast something
this is the dude who's casting with cadenzie
twitter.com
I watched some of his cast with artosis (youtube.com
), he seems okay. Better speaking voice than noregret and less clueless/annoying compared to rapid. No idea how much he knows about BW though, so cadenzie will probably have to do a bit of the heavy lifting, this'll be something to watch
Haven't been able to watch for a couple months, how has this season been so far?
Who's the baldie? Is commentary going to be muteworthy today?
Bretty good actually
Pretty much all of the sets have at least one redeeming game in them, with several having multiple good ones. It's an infinite improvement over KSL.

>tranny with bad teeth

Very nice
I miss him so much, bros...
IT'S TIME!! GET COMFY! PLACE YOUR BETS!
Tasteless is better than artosis.
experimental night, huh? that's a tentative 7 right there
I don't want to bet on today. It's too hard.
>progressing
Best and Miso
Jyj and Light
best and light!
I'm feeling a three for this duo
You know who I really miss?
Leta
Will we ever see Leta vs Action kino again?
this is him here, he seems like a decent caster but he's a SC2 caster, not BW so we have to wait and see
Did he enter ASL?
I wonder if Cadenzie can carry a cast with only one zerg. I bet she's praying miso goes into losers for more reasons then one
what an ironic thing for you to say
>Baldy and Can'tSpeak
That's a 3 for me.
tfw no more mass wraiths
tfw no more games where Leta sucks the intelligence out of his enemies so they play on his level
>that awkward silence
NOOOOOOOOOO THEY CANT BOUNCE OFF EACH OTHER PROPERLY
I MISS TASTOSIS
cadenzie a cute
Who is the girl? Is she sc2 related like the bald guy?
She's a literal pro BW zerg player. Her in-game analysis redeems her voice.
nah cadenzie is bw through and through
she's higher on the ladder than artosis, and she beat nal_ra in the last lot of qualifiers
Sick stats
She has more experience in Brood War than the baldie as she's plays it professionally in South Korea
Huh thats cool, Ive been out of the loop apart from Korea time
oh shit yeah just in time
I fucking hate esports casters they always sound as fake as the hype they are trying to fabricate
bros....
how do i get a scottish brood war playing gf...
I can't believe it, this is actually more awkward than Rapid. Time to hunt down that Korean stream.
go to Scotland and offer some slag a free heroin portion for every 10 BW matches she wins on ladder. She'll learn the game in a jiffy.

Is Cadenzie a girl or a girl (male)?
She's a true lass.
girl (SCOOOOOOTLAND FOREEEEEVEEEEER)
Cadenzie is a male(female) ladder monster that sometimes gets pretty deep in the ASL qualifiers.
I cut them slack for that. Even Artosis mixes up unit names and tasteless hasn't gotten names right for years now.
I think it's just nerves, he kept calling the starter interview "winner interview" at the start. He's okay though, i don't feel phyiscally pained like I do with rapid
incorrect, cadenzie is a tranny
actual girl
Lord giraffe reigns.
>pretty deep in the ASL qualifiers.
i bet larva gets deep into cadenzie
Did tasteless lose his passion?
Is this dude a protoss zealot? Look at this nigga's head.
Larva is pure and faithful to Flash
>Miso hasn't even played for a month and was googling builds
Lmao, I hope he wins
Is there a term for trying to talk quietly in a loud voice, or loud in a quiet voice? It seems like this is becoming more and more endemic with almost everyone every year, like there's some fear around just belting it out.
say that again to her adams apple
The only passion a man needs is the passion for money
she fucked pro zergs and they wouldnt fuck a tranny
>another denied scout game
i always heard it called whispertalking
I like that this guy asks questions, it gets her talking about builds

Why would you want to hear MORE of cadenzie's voice? Its like dragging her balls on a cheese grater.
>self-depreciating humor in front of cutie

Is he asking her out to prom?
I forget what extra tech do you need for valks?
so english IS her first language she's just from some retarded talking place

i think he's better known for SC2 cartoons. Not amazingly funny, but maybe a chuckle at a reference to a minutiae of matchups or units
Can a zerg explain to me why I always see mutas get sat over goliaths? you'd never see mutas sat over marines, is it just because goliaths do so little damage?
I just got here, what the fuck is that voice? Is that a dude pretending to be a girl?
she's just scottish
That's called a Scottish lass.
Marines with stim have some of the highest dps in the entire game. They also can clump together much more easily than the wonky pathfinding of goliaths. Sitting over a marine means you take a bunch more damage from all his buddies and so its better to just snipe the outliers because of marines shorter range. Goliath range is such that it hardly matters.
small unit model versus explosive damage
so the range of goliaths make muta micro basically inconsequential

This is the most in-depth and informative ASL cast in a long while; I like the natural colour commentator vs bank-of-knowledge commentator dynamic these two are exhibiting.
This is the only good game so far
it never made sense to me that mutas were considered small units while a hydralisk is medium

The only thing you really missed was Best's chad DT

You need 1000 APM to control them though.
Does Miso just genuinely not fucking care about this or did he think he was so good he could just advance without practice?
I A-MOVE MUTA
lmao, worst muta attack ever
hahahhahahahah
Yeah its surprisingly good, they really play of of their strenghts.
>mass muta
>throw them into goliaths instead of the enemy's mineral line

I keep maek muta
god that was pathetic. someone can make a webbum of that?
He should've just base traded, especially since he already had the hidden base
with that amount of mutas, with a bit of focusing, he could'Ve wiped the goliaths
instead he fucking A-moved 0-Microed them
>thirty seconds later

What a fucking sad game
Mass muta against gols works, but NOT against gols/vessels, irradiate just crushes them. And MisO also got wrong fucking upgrades, you need to stack up as much armor as possible against Gols. Holy hell.
dumb zoom zoom go make another smash thread
Are mass queens always just a desperation play?
second time i see it
Not like this
>girl
user...
YES
Stop talking about video games, we need more important twitter screencap threads!
I don't think even Miso expected himself to win a single game today.
Its supposed to be a counter to mech play with broodlings, but I have never seen it work successfully. Zerg is getting out meta'd this season with terran mech.
I have some news for you user...
Zergs have just been really retarded in where they implement them. The game needs to practically stalemate for them to work
Thanks doc
I think miso just dethroned Leta as the biggest retard in korea. Even leta going wraith 10 games in a row made sense on some level
I never thought I'd see somebody amove 50 mutas into a meat grinder then leave queens in irradiate till he gg'd
I don't know if your 50+ year old brain can keep up with reality anymore but just in case you haven't noticed most of these threads don't get more than 40 IPs per thread and this shit has been getting posted for months now. That's the literal definition of a general, most threads that get 100+ posts usually get upwards to 50-60 IPs by itself yet this thread stays up at late hours of the night and amounts 300+ posts yet doesn't break 40 IPs most of the time.
This is a /vg/ thread through and through. It's the same people post in the same thread over the same game over and over again. There is no discussion beyond the skill of e-sports fags that are so pass their prime they have children and wives now.
You people need to be put onto /vg/ where you belong because no one born after 1989 gives a shit about this game.
Queens are a good unit they would be great in this situation but they are played so rarely people dont know how to utilize them to their full potential. I think zergs just need more practice with them.
mass queens melt siege tank lines. But the spell costs 150 energy so you have to make them a good 5 minutes in advance for them to have any impact. Knowing what you're doing helps
>no one born after 1989 gives a shit about this game.
Flash was born in 1992.
Don't forget that he first moved a full group of mutas over that meatgrinder, having them all be wiped out, BEFORE a-moving his 50 mutas
This is a Smash speculation thread, there's nothing more on topic on Yea Forums.

Yeah right, they get countered by fucking everything in the Terran army and they're such a huge waste of resources you can't afford actual useful Zerg units. Daily reminder SV has irradiate which can kill most Zerg units for only 75 energy
this autist wishes he was a mod, doing it for free
>went to the bathroom
man I remember a year ago when artosis had to go to the bathroom halfway a game. reminds you how much of an old man he became
Sure.
Why are almost all the Stork games so kino?
And people who were born in 2001 think Chrono Trigger is the greatest RPG of all time. Who gives a shit, this game is so beyond irrelevancy that the sheer fact that there is threads about it on Yea Forums is hilarious to me.
>this isn't a pasta
Holy shit, you actually typed all this out.
I AM ACCENT RETARDED EITHER WAY VALK IS QT AND YOUR GAY FAGGOT ASS CANT PROVE ME WRONG
>yfw a zealot could potentially be in smash

Stork is one of the 6 dragons for a reason.
I know your retarded ass can't fathom people making arguments without using strawmans but I'm not one of them.
Queens suck 99% of the time and are amazing 1% of the time.
He absolutely should not have gotten queens, he needed defiler tech, zerglings and hydras, not whatever the fuck he did and he did it far too late as well.
valk is german though. She's like a wagnerian valkyrie. I think he was contesting that germans could be qts?

I disagree, they could definitely become very useful once players play them more and learn to utilize them properly.

JyJ aka Dropship (Shuttle)
>ASL started 2 hours earlier than normal
wtf
jesus stop throwing units. first miso, now jyj
Not him but you're absolutely incorrect. How the hell is a queen doing to do fucking anything against that many goliaths and irradiates?
They can't do shit, and they're expensive units too. JyJ was so deep into goliaths, he should've had defilers earlier + hydraling to recover from his muta failure.
OH FUCK GODDAMN IT
IT WAS EARLY TODAY
TELL ME WHAT I MISSED, NIGGERS
No, fuck off. I play the game. You can't make a useless unit useful. RTS games is all about cost effiency, Queens are time-consuming, expensive, hard to micro, gets hard countered by every Terran unit, they have to sit in a corner in the map doing fuck-all. The only time I've seen zerg win with them is when they have ridiculous leads and then they could have won easily anyway
> they could definitely become very useful
How? You can't decrease the time they require all for a 150 energy spell. Terrans can also build turrets everywhere.
WE WARNED YOU BRO
here we go
What terran units in SC2 would you replace with accented waifus.
Best styled on both his opponents with dark templars and miso played like a retard and threw away a gorillion mutas in both games for nothing
imagine making 40 mutalisks and then a moving into goliaths and science vessels

Wow this guy is clearly an SC2 caster. He seems absolutely clueless about how TvTs go down in BW.

I fucking love TvT
Burgercast confirmed.
I'd take somebody who knows about sc2 over somebody who knows about neither
have you seen a sc2 rapid cast? even they hate him
gg
GEEGEEEEEEEE
Burgercast, pretty good.
It wont solve all your problems, I think massing them like weve seen is a mistake, Im talking about having a few mixed in with your army.
Even if you dont want to use broodlings, you can have a few for parasite and for their most underrated ability to infest cc's, which essentially cuts their hp in half.
We all know cadenzie regret is best team
S t a r g i r l
>We all know cadenzie regret
I wish I knew what that felt like.
Yeah, it seemed pretty obvious that Best would cruise through and Light would take 2nd. At least we got Best's sick DT mine drag, and that last decent TvT. Miso's collapse against JyJ was pretty funny, though.
>you can have a few for parasite
No just stop talking. Next time when you see a top tier Zerg play the game notice how little gas they have to play with every time. "A few" queens isn't the type of resources they have to play with, especially if they can spend that resources on defilers instead
Rapid is bottom of the barrel trash, literally anything is better than that retard. He just spouts random shit out with an excited voice to pretend to be a good caster.
>It wont solve all your problems, I think massing them like weve seen is a mistake, Im talking about having a few mixed in with your army.
That can work but the problem with the queen is the huge expense in making a single one + the loooooong time before it has energy enough for broodlings.
It can be decent for ensnare, but that only works against bio.
>cadenzie suggesting to steal one the jerseys
What's up with casters and stealing from the hand feeding them?
Is Cadenzie gonna let him lick her minge, lads?
>1 hour break
around wh*toid never relax
That should give you just enough time to learn Korean for the group nomination ceremony.
Only if he eats all the haggis.
>Im talking about having a few mixed in with your army.
A thing that needs to be cleared up with watchers and weekend players -- the players *know* the game very well and they don't generally spend cash frivolously on upgrades, just because they might "come in handy", for some incidental utility. Being 100 gas behind is a big deal in high-precision matches.
mixing in extra unit sadly isn't really working for sc:bw, because of the archaic unit groups and the lack of smart casting
Exactly. Compare Queens to Defilers, a cost comparison. A queen costs 100 100, a defiler cost 50 150. Quuens has free parasite, defiler has free consume. Defilers gets plague which wrecks science vessel balls, tons of units at once so they become virtually free kills and they get dark swarm so zerg units doesn't actually die, defilers is the ultimate Zerg unit. Queens was a mistake because Blizzard had no idea what they were doing and didn't understand their own game.
>Tasteless is better than artosis.
Tasteless is amazing but artosis really helps him.
Honestly they are the Top Gear of casters
guys im feeling a bit fuzzy in the head. what happens if you stay awake for longer than 24 hours?
Go to sleep, dummy
You get your foreskin back.
Nothing special, I went for three days straight once. You should still probably sleep, shit's not great for you.
but I never got circumcised.
It becomes hard to focus or have complex thoughts, your judgement gets much worse (often you won't realize how bad the decisions you make are until after you sleep), your reaction speeds decrease, and it's bad for your health in the long term.
Seriously bro go to sleep. Even if all you can manage is an hour or two before you need to go to work or something, do it.
>We all know cadenzie regret is best team
I really really want to see her with Tasteless casting.
metabolites that normally get flushed out of your brain when you sleep start accumulating in higher levels and then 50 years later you get dementia
there's a guy in /vg/ strategy games thread trying to convince us that losing a worker is less impactful than losing a vulture because vultures cost 75 minerals and workers cost 50
>/vg/
There's your problem, my friend
Yeah but if you lose a vulture you also lost 3 mines
>defiler has free consume
Defiler has free Dark Swarm.
Oh yeah, I can't believe I got that wrong. Still! Free dark swarm! It's one of the best abilities in the game so that just shows how cost efficient defilers are
You forgot their best quality, though.
Your thought patterns get a bit derailed and you make some weird conclusions when having a complex train of thought. You can feel a bit dizzy and your reaction times are rather bad.
The fun doesn't start until 55-60 hours in, that's when you get delusional and have some weak hallucinations.
Artosis and Tasteless have great synergy, not just because their dynamic and banter is great, but because they're highly skilled Terran and Protoss players respectively. That leaves either one of them able to do live analysis of 5 of the matchups from their race's perspective, and it's leaving the least complex matchup the one that they only have an outside perspective on.
ZvZ isn't very complex because the games are so scrappy and short, there's not much room for huge complexity. ZvZ gets very complex as you progress into the late-game, but that's like less than 1% of the time.
>they're highly skilled Terran and Protoss players respectively
I mean I love my tassles but he hasn't touched SC2 in years and probably only lurks SCR content to keep up with the meta/or asks artosis.
So long artosis isn't annoyed I don't care.
FASTER
>I mean I love my tassles but he hasn't touched SC2 in years and probably only lurks SCR content to keep up with the meta/or asks artosis.
So far as I understand he has been playing again recently, but had to quit because what seems like RSI to me.
They talked a bit about it on KSL 3.
fuck i love TvT
i swear there is nothing better
only 150 IQ chess masters can appreciate TvT
To be perfectly honest, the Western community hardly understands how to play TvT. Someone like KogeT or Nyoken know their stuff, but the overall knowledge on the matchup is low.
thats because westernfags are too retarded to accept anything but mindless protoss matchups
3 minutes until group nominations begin
HOW MANY GAMES ARE THERE LEFT??
0, my friend. I'm sorry but it was early today. I slept in so I feel your pain.
You're just in time for group nominations however.
They finished like an hour ago.
S t a r g i r l
Shoulderfags, please report in. What's the status of Stargirl's shoulders?
*cough*
Ensnare actually sounds more practical than Spawn Broodlings since they cost only 75 energy compared to Broodlings' 150 energy. Why is it even rarer than broodlings?
Please do not remind me of KSL's production team.
Broodlings is instant death
S T A R G I R L
God, Flash is actually a cute boy.
No, it's because playing Terran comes with a high mechanical skill floor (barrier-to-entry; note that each race's skill ceiling is pretty much infinite. That includes Protoss, Artosis.) and very few really dedicated players remain at the skill level where they'd be any decent at Terran, and we have fewer controlled practice environments like Koreans do, not to mention that any and all coaching by giants like iloveoov is only passed on to us through reinterpretation and translation, and on top of all that, people used to dodge TvT on ICC and Fish (and sometimes even on ladder) simply because TvT is time-consuming, and a lot of players (especially Koreans in PC Bangs) don't have time to commit. Hence the prevalence of builds like 3 fact vult on ladder that are basically saying "I don't feel like playing TvT, let's close this out quickly".

IMHO he's honestly not *that* bad as a caster.
has there ever been an esports player that has dominated his game like flash? I can;t think of a sport with one player so head and shoulders above everybody else. Like a tournament without him is almost null and void and anybody in his group already considered dead
Always funny hearing pro koreans trying to provoke each other while still being polite.
Honestly can't think of anyone. Even the fighting game greats like Justin Wong or Daigo aren't quite the level of sheer dominance of Flash. Flash in his prime was at the top for soooo goddamned loooong.
No, Flash is 100% the most dominant esports player ever. He's been a god for over 10 years.
I think AOE2 has a very strong player that's expected to win every 1v1 tournament but I don't actively follow the scene so I'm not sure.
>all this hand holding between bros

ALL TERRAN GROUP
8 HOUR MATCH NIGHT

>Larva screaming like a gorilla 30 seconds in
KINO'S IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT.
That would unironically be amazing
>the next round is 2x bo1 and 3x bo3s
potentially 11 TvTs in one night
nevermind, they picked a poor little zerg guy to get fucked by those big terran tanks
There's still hope. They could swap him out.
Larva looks like he's accepting his fate already.
Wait, who gets the swapping powers this time? Last?
Action is gonna get T O S S E D
well, if he doesn't get swapped out he still has a good chance. Best always chokes, and the others are eh. Larva could def make it out of his group
>having to play Rain, Snow, and Stork
Damn, Action better have a GOOD ass ZvP game.
>amerifriends will utterly suffer the 11 hour slugdown
>Horang2, Sacsri, Flash, and Soulkey
Lmao

for me it's Sacsri
>go see ASL live
>all set for a couple hours of comfy
>It's five sets of TvT with three BO3s
>don't get out until 3 in the morning
Mini looks like he just wants to be back home, as always.
ALL TOSS
Rain, you nincompoop. Trying to get 4 protoss.
Yeah Last, just give Rain a free pass ahead by putting him in an all protoss group.
these group selection/swaps are such a massive shitpost every single time
>4 terran dream is dead
>PvPvPvP
cons: lots of PvP
pros: 2 Ps out for certain
ALL TOSS FOR RAIN
An entire night of PvP DEAL WITH IT
Get lost Rain!!!!!!!! Trying to get an easy way out by arranging a protoss majority group. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Just hand Rain his spot in the finals already.
>FOUR PROTOSS
>ELIMINATION OF ALL PROTOSS
>BETWEEN EIGHT AND ELEVEN PVPS IN A ROW
AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
the fucking madman
Well, two zergs for Mini probably raises his chances of advancing.
Literally WHY did Last give Rain an all protoss group?????? Now it's like almost certain Rain's gonna win, his PvP is way way wayyyy too good.
it's mostly mind games. you wouldn't get it
Thankfully I know which day to skip.
Rain smirking. Cheeky Korean.

of course I wouldn't understand, because my skill level is too shit for those mind games. doesn't change the fact that its massive shitposting by the players to meme the others out
Welp, that's it. A really entertaining selection ceremony this season, maybe even more so than previous seasons for some reason. Probably because Flash isn't up to his usual veto shenanigans. Really fun watch. See you guys this Sunday.
Alright nerds

>bald guy keep saying "Widow mines"

>Cadenzie knows the game but has a thick Scottish accent and talks softly
Watching today's games is pure hell with these two fucks casting it.
both tasteless and artosis have called spider mines widow mines on numerous occasions
honestly i didn't mind him. He wasn't that familiar with BW, but unlike rapid who tries to be the centre of the cast, he played the role of the inexperienced hype man and asked her decent questions about the matchup, which is exactly what you need
t. Creighto
Rapid Solo Casts are a thing of beauty, and Rapid is highly endearing.
I honestly want another Rapid solocast just to hear him out of breath. It was amusing the last time it happened.
I imagine that's how he sounds after sex.
>Rapid Solo Casts are a thing of beauty
In the same way a burning trainwreck is a thing of beauty, sure.
The only time when he's enjoyable to me is when he's casted with Wolf, who has a similar level of experience as him and a relatively calm personality. He isn't constantly being an unfunny faggot like he is with Tasteless/Artosis, he isn't acting like a know-it-all and talking out of his ass like he does with NoRegret, and he isn't hopelessly scrambling to figure out whats going on in the game like he does solo.
>Group A
Sharp, ZeLot, playing favorites.
>Group B
Mini, Action
>Group C
Rain, Snow
>Group D
Flash, Sacsri
Does anyone have good Leta matches to watch?
willl we ever have somebody as pure as boxer ever again?
>Sharp, ZeLot
Last too good though, almost certain he's getting out. At this point he's pretty much 2nd best Terran after Flash.
Sharp's Vultures will find a way
