Starcraft: Broodwar, ASL season 13, 3rd Place Decider
soma vs Bisu
Both these players have performed admirably this season but fell short in the semifinals to Rain and Light. Hopefully they deliver some great games tonight to tide us over until the finals on Saturday.

>missed korea time again
Rooting for bisu on this one but I wonder how will he fare against Soma's ultra aggressive playstyle. Hope the games are good.
Feels good to see these two in the 3rd place match. I like them both, so I'm happy. I think Soma will win.
not relaly fussed who wins just want some good games
two great players who have been around for ages
Sheesh, wasting no time tonight. Guess they feel like it'd be difficult to hype up the third place match?
>EVERY GAME
>NEXUS 1ST
third place matches are really a sad existence
>already missed 4 and a half minutes
bros......
better than them wasting time. hate how the finals have a bunch of bullshit
I feel that the 3rd place match is just for money. I mean the gap is a bit big, $2k
The finals usually has an earlier start time though so it mostly balances out.
wtf didn't realise tasteless was so fat
pure muscle
not like this
Strong fat is best fat
Pretty much. They also need to choose the order of the four players selecting their groups in the ro16
damn bisu got rekt
DEAD

neutral units made to shrink the entrance to bases smaller to allow for walloffs. while later in the game you can kill them to widen the gap
They're neutral buildings to make chokepoints slightly smaller and easier to defend in the early game but can be destroyed later on when you want to funnel lots of troops out of your base.
They're mostly to make the ramps easier to block.
finally, hot6 shilling time
Did soma really think that Bisu will do the same Corsair build in the first game that he spread his overlords like that? wtf
Cool feature, thanks
Mapmaking for broodwar can be a little janky at times but is a fine art it this point.
There's some weird maps out there with all kinds of features used in unintended ways.
TELL THEM THE STORY, TELL THEM THE TRUTH
pew pew blus 1 air wepons :D:D:D:D
>62/22
Overlord genocide
>overlord massacre
Dare i say, El revolutionist is back?
If he was fully back, he'd be playing Rain in the finals.
He is looking pretty good though.
man Protoss seems to be the only race not getting supply blocked memes. For a while Toss would rape terran bases with Scarab+ Damage and destroy the depot farms, but it seems like that tactic fell off. meanwhile we are getting constant Overlord bullying
thats because the entirely of PvZ is built around corsairs either bullying overlords or threatening to bully overlords.
nuking supply farms doesnt matter as much since they are a lot tougher and i think most toss either want to chance a SCV shot or killing the armory
He looks good, I hope he carries and improves this form next season. I'm surprised it took him this "quickly" to recover form.
>thats because the entirely of PvZ is built around corsairs either bullying overlords or threatening to bully overlords.
All pioneered by Bisu more than a decade ago.
Been playing Starcraft for the longest time and I never knew about the Concussive and Explosive damage types, has it always been like this?
huh?
yes. I never knew about it either. I remember always switching out marines with ghosts in bunkers once I unlocked ghosts since they deal 10 damage instead of 6. And i was always confused why they performed much more poorly. Same with vultures having 20 damage while performing like shit
its complete bullshit that ghosts dont do full damage to everything on top of their upgrades giving a piddly +1 damage per
Yes and it makes Ghosts do no damage lol
yea, Damage types are extreme bullshit
only bullshit part is that they are never properly explained in the campaign
I think blizzard overestimated the power of cloak and ghosts.
Ghosts only reason to exist, is to harass you in the Terran campaign locking down you constantly
Bisu took too much damage, I think this is over.
...
ghosts are at least strong in single player since the AI is completely retarded against them
>AI barely builds detection
>AI doesn't care if their buildings are being killed by cloaked units, won't waste scans/overlords/observers to stop it
>AI doesn't care about nukes right on their main/army
>AI loves to bleed out units instead of massing, which makes ghosts surprisingly competent at forming gigantic, murderous 100+ ghost concaves
>last map butter
>the premier zerg map
I remember wanting to kill the ion cannon in the final terran mission with mass yamato cannon. Only for a pack of ghosts to just lock them all down and slowly pick them apart.
if you get to 100 ghosts you couldve built about anything else, like mass tank, to bust the AI harder.
>noo don't talk about video games on the video game board
I missed all the games, were they good?
>final match
>it actually is only bo5
Don't worry friend you are right in time for the finale
There hasn't been anything too crazy so far, just some good, solid PvZ.
This is a wrap, right? Bisu is fucked on this map.
Not really, imo. The scores are balanced, but every game has been decided on 1 engagement so there hasn't been a lot of back and forth.
>pylon
>cancel
>cannon
god damn that was quick
lel cannoning on final map good memes
oh no no what the fuck
