KOREA TIME

see korea time thread

missed the event

Every time

what do you mean, we just started.
still first map

I MAEK ZEALOTS

maek zelot

couldnt experience bisu's fall with Anon Babble live

at least we can watch dong together

Maek zealot

maek hydra (60 IQ) vs maek zelot (61 IQ)

Jaedong said if they 2gate build 2 sunkens and you'll beat it. Based dong was right like always

MAEK ZELOT!!!!

sick swing between hydra bust only for macro zealots to destroy

maek morine (20 IQ but acts like 120 IQ)

we missed some prime suffering

Zerg hydra flood all the time

Queen would have actually won if he had gone ALL IN instead of expanding

Best just counters with speedlots with +1 (ie when Z actually get good) versus 0-0 Hydras

shocked he losses

Protoss was just reverse uno-ing him.

insane how Queen screwed the pooch by not breaking the Best and then just gets WIDEMAN WALKINGed

MAEK ZELOT

I've bbeen saying forever: build canons on the high ground. Did that cause Best to actually defend? Queen decided to not engage with the canon and thus funneled his hydras into half of the opening.

uh oh

start the season with no sponsors

Hot6 the hero comes back in

I remember when this show had like 5 ads before and now it just barely got one. That's better than nothing I guess. This show lives or dies by its sponsors. The goofy Korean ads add a LOT of charm too.

Watching in HD and HKLee is showing her age. Intotherain also is battling leukemia. We're all getting old.

6 months and she looks a lot older

Oh wow same thought process. Yeah she's anorexic and almost 40, so it's gonna show. Her womb is now barren.

Nick "Chipmunk" Plott looks the worst of the lot though. Looks like he's storring nuts in his fat cheeks.

the just married life

high ground cannons are a weird thing, you gotta have a pylon in proximity and the cliff has to be favourable. if you can put some though, they are definitely worth it, because LOS and higher ground bonus

both of them look fine to me, specially tasteless. I'm surprised artosis doesn't look like a 50 year old lesbian by now

TOTAL DROBE DEATH

That's KSL (2018-2019). He resembles some kind of chipmunk man now.

Best makes 9 cannons

Queen holds down the drobe button

it's pretty cool that the terrain under the protoss base is all high tech buildings while zerg base is on plain grass and mud
good spawn locations, it would be weird with them swapped

2 fucking macro hatches at the expansion

Queen please, just tech up

CAPED

CAPED

already 1-0

cannon rush??

TOTAL TEMPLAR DEATH

Even with 7 initial kills and 3 additional, Best was way too far behind .

oh he definitely was, the early total Probe death absolutely put him back massively. Queen still was not happy about this win, because he couldnt finish early.

You guys expect a lot from a man that used to drink a fuckton of beer daily and still does nothing but play games and stream from his PC. What did you think was going to happen? Losing weight requires actual effort.

2gate, queen held, decided to macro and best built 1 billion zealots

damn based

It doesn't really require effort. Eat 1500-2000 calories and you'll crash down in weight. Just gotta learn what to eat.

HYDRA CONTAIN

IT'S OVER...

is it though

bullshit, Queen was definitely warned by the crowd yelling
he pulled drones instantly in the middle of the big battle

this map is bad for protoss vs zerg, nearest expo after nat is mineral only and protoss is as gas starved as z

They are supposed to be wearing sound cancelling headphones. It's game audio with ear-buds plus sound cancelling headphones on top.

They used to have them in sound proof boxes in early leagues.

I wonder how soundproof those headphones are

imagine if Best had a single Meleestorm there

protoss

making a unit that isnt zealot/dragoon/HT

they're incapable of higher thought. A terran sees irradiate, and immediately realizes he can kill every single zerg unit with it. A protoss sees maelstrom, and then nothing.

He took too long to punish that greedy 4th, then kept losing his templars. THEN ATTACKED HYDRAS WITH GOONS FROM LOWGROUND.

MAEK HYDRA
MAEK DRAGUN

That's a lot of hydras.

absolutely embarrassing engagement
attacking hydras on high ground without storm with rough unit amount parity.
might as well lose to a MM Terran

Man, I don't know that i've ever watched a real competitive starcraft match, this is surprisingly fun to watch.

no korea time thread during Rain vs Action

it would have been kINO

Protoss will keep losing if they keep ignoring mutas. Get to late game and build reavers and dark archons. Play like Terrans played the game. Expand, punish zerg all game. When zerg runs out of gas units they literally can't win

The Koreans treat it like an actual sporting event and tv show. That's why.

MEME MAP TIME

low tier Broodwar is an absolute miserable experience to watch.
I tell you, its only fun because its high level gooks

I have no idea what PvZ looks like here.

I watched some of those university teams and it can be fun. Play is high enough that they dont just randomly die to maek marien. But low enough that you can have some funny shit like lockdown

Yeah i can just imagine how that match would've gone if they weren't good players "Zerg player was completely asleep at the wheel and let DTs take 3 of his bases before he reacted", "Toss player still lost though because the Mutas cleared out everything while he was watching his DTs attack and not doing anything else".

Please just make dark archons, literally would have changed the game ffs

it took 27 years for toss to start experimenting with them, give them some more time

Do they ever show the player's perspectives? i want to see the crazy gook APM cursor flying everywhere.

They used to back in the day.

they used to do that, but not anymore. You can still see their screens flick around in the bottom left.

How are these numbers determined?

The Koreans use a clock numbers to name bases. 5 oclock base, 11 oclock, etc.

analogue clock
12 is north, 3 is east, etc
it's their spawn points on the map

CAPED

Forward hatch

whats this dark blue colour
never seen before

cheeky bastard

remastered added more colors IIRC I think it might have to do with them allowing for 24 players on a map

A FUCKING ARBITER

RECALL?????

KINO

is best a crypto-terran or something? That kind of innovation is unheard of

2000 IQ play

GET RECALLED

definitely because of the jank of the map
forward hatch already was teh start of the magic spell

B Teamer games are weird

KINO

used Illusions

get RNG memed on

EL EM AO

jewish tricks exposed

what is this game

hallu

What a meat grinder.

recall

hallucination

If you swing at the QUEEN you better not miss

HAHAHA

zerg with more supply than Protoss

It's ogre

One of the craziest and best games ever!

meme maps are b-

What a game.

too bad we're not seeing that map again because low-T gooks keep banning it

hello, where the Hatchery at?

kek he's seething

SEETHING

force cancelled twice

I would be ultra mad at this point lmao

1 cannon is powerful enough to cancel 2 hatcheries

dishonest trash toss

uh... zisters!? They can't just force cancel two hatcheries and get away with it right?

Nice expansion

he thought he was a queen but Best made him his bitch

if Best somehow manages to lose this...

Zerg was retarded and in the end deserved it. All those zerglings died for nothing.

never underestimate a Protoss's ability to throw a game they have in the bag

never doubt the protoss' ability to die to a "surprise" hydra bust

so why do shields take full damage from everything?

the fuck is this nigga doing

Cheeky lurker morph

Cuz they're shields, not actual hit points. If you don't like it, upgrade them. ;)

the upgrade just makes them restore faster doe

Because they have armor as well. And Blizzard probably thought people would build shield batteries to bring shields back up for important units.

bro, what are you smoking

That's an old wive's tale. They add armor to them, +1, +2, +3. So now your amazingg shields can take 82 instead of 85 from a siege tank! This is why shield armor is considered the weakest.

wise protoss executor says
"zealot like hammer
you maek them and smash them against the enemy
over and over"

go back

we literally saw that last week, toss was just too retarded to actually use it

armor is worth a lot less if it makes you go from taking 10 damage to 9, instead of 5 to 4.

So can toss only win with cheese strats? watched the last three games and seems like Zerg is playing circles around the toss player.

Queen's won ASL twice. He's one of the best Zergs in the world.

protoss is hard countered by hydra bust and then mutas sniping templars over and over
they can only win with cheese, yes

I think toss has a decent shot when they have their HTs and a decent army but before zerg gets defilers.

mutas

blizzard shouldve given protoss an AOE lockdown ability that affects all bio units (read, all zerg units) so they can storm them. But I guess that would be too OP

if only there was some kind of ability that instantly deleted all mutas

Yes, prottos vs zerg is heavily in zerg favour, no idea why the Bisu build fell out of flavor but that used to be the equalizer

B teamers will always be B teamers man, Flash almost won ASL with random and JD been showing a masterclass on how to actually play the game.

sees fast nexus

shakes head

kek, bitch already mentally lost

DA is a meme unit and you rarely get a good maelstrom
zerg can just split his mutas into two groups and kill templars anyway

the Bisu build fell out of flavor

because zergs realized you could lose the air war and still win with hydras.

JD is having his first decent season in a decade, don't get too cocky

o shid here come the brodoss gorsairs :DDDDD
bew bew blus 1 air weabons :D:D:D:D

ANOTHER CAPED.COM ACTION

B teamers belong to sc2

Incredible how you can see right through me!

FINAR MATCHU

we are going to Match 7

K1N0
inb4 5 minute cheesefest

We're going to game 7. DTs tip the match back to P's favor.

nigga already gave up, he's done

KAM ON BEST

KILL SOME FAKKING DROBES

casters saying Best could win ASL when Soulkey would absolutely delete him 4-0 with this level of play

Protoss never build corsairs for mid game or revears late game, two of their best units

Skill issue

Wrong! This man is deceased.

he got possessed by Mini's spirit

this boring shit took over the rts genre instead of fun games like TA.

preddy gud screenshot, saved

Right. He's struggling with Queen, who's in a slump while Soulkey is in his hot streak. I jsut want evil zergs deleted.

Evil SK is pretty much guranteed to be in the finals with how good he plays. Rush can't stop him, and it's a toss up if Rain or Snow can either.

DOTA took over the RTS genre
RTS is dead

hype decider map

lmao let's do a blind all-in

Queen absolutely buck broken

shhh, queen is sleeping

finals will be queen vs soulkey

SK is fighting for something. His kids need to eat.

maek zelot

maek dt

imagine being queen at this point

meek muta

BIG FAT ARCHONS

That archon pathfinding was soul crushing

would

DROBE GENOCIDE

BESTED

QUeen is throwing

AY LMAO
SK won 3 times in a row now, his kids could learn to starve again, it builds character

POWER
OVERWHELMING

TOTAL
ZERG
GENOCIDE

MY WIFE FOR HIRE

STORMUUUUUUUUUU

if only there was a unit that could zone out the mutas...

reverse choke

STORMED

Orgasmic storms for the end

GG

fucking vaporized by storms and mass goons

those fucking storms

great day

That image is like 20 years old. It was made for either the Star invitational or the GOMTV days.

storm down EVERYTHING

lmao, i thought this was going to be the pic that won queen the game.

Supply is too low for Z, forces too concentraded, and too much storm.

I guess we'll see if JD is actually back or not tomorrow.

Hydras running straight into a blender. Bootyfull

at first I was like but then I

Do they make ultras for Pv Z?

hell no, no tech no supply and constant harassment.
also defending that spot is absolutely abhorrent without tech and against storms.

kino games today

Supply is too low for Z

zerg is supply efficient

forces too concentraded

yeah this was a problem

storm

the big problem, no way to dodge thme. if he managed to kill the HTs it woulde been a killer pincher movement

It used to happen. Literally tons of ultras vs reaver/archon, doesn't really happen any more

Sometimes, but not at this level because dragoons rape them

no. goons are effective against them and they dont really get you anything special

Spells balance high ground advantage. P would never be able to break highground if they didnt' have Storm. Hydras are just too good.

He needed better tech to make better trades, namely plague.

standard goon/reaver lategame handles ultras easily

it woulde been a killer pincher movement

Protoss still has 4 bases and zerg would run out of minerals/gas in main and natural, meanwhile protoss can easily grab another base. Queen did some dumb builds today

only the chosen ones make ultras because they require defiler , these B teamers don't have the micro/macro to do it but guess who does.

Artosis barely changed

Jaedong has to beat Light first, he's no pushover

I want a protoss to finally win but if I was a betting man I'd bet for Light vs SK finals.

He's also the only zerg that can outmacro a terran in a long game, SK and all the other bteamer shitters try to finish the game ASAP

Trust the plan, we will see Ultras and Defilers again.

SK is zerg, ie evil. He needs to loose. ZvZ finals is the worst.

JDboomer, this is getting embarrassing. He's going to lose 0-4 and you know it.

Terran vs Terran finals, calling it now.

b teamers belong to SC2... oh wait that joke of a game is dead.

loose

average tossfag

So far in this entire ASL we haven't had a single ZvZ game so far. Not in the RO24, not in the RO16.

Hopefully

b teamers belong to SC2... oh wait that joke of a game is dead.

Tasteless needs is beer money so he's trying to e-beg to revive it.

dongs really looking old this season

I'm too lazy to macro in SCBW so all I do is play SC2 coop. I played 5000+ games in SC2 and all of them are vs AI coop mode.
I only played a few dozen games in versus and the highest I got was platinum.
Used to play BW in the early 2000s but eventually quit.

It's honestly such a shame Flash didn't play this season. He probably would have been able to reach the final with his basically unbeatable ape goliath strategy against zerg which basically won him all the games he had with Soulkey.

speaking of SC2, they're raping the corpse of GSL again

if the old man plays like he's 20 again like he did in the group stages there is no way he doesn't win the entire thing. On the other hand he might piss and shit himself and lose every single game, man being old sucks.

he keeps winning in meme tournaments but man is still too scared to come back on the big stage

I thought they had the last SC2 tournament a while ago?

I've been watching brood war since ASL 6 or so and never actually played it.

would love to see high level flash/soulkey

some saudi really likes SC2 and is single-handedly keeping in alive

blizzard's hands are off

don't even bother if you are not in Asia, game is full of peruvians doing 14TR storms and cheessy laggy builds

No, I meant the fan one. blizzard pulling the plug on life support was before that.

would love to see the guy fund BW meme tournaments instead. Pro being the brains and their student being the hands, or some king of the hill shit in which the winner remains seated and he wins if he can last the entire rotation of 5 opponents or soemthing.

youtu.be/n-0L_zBjstQ

they played against each other in an ultimate match almost a month ago

offline bo7 with bants i mean.

game 1

gets ouplayed constantly by a bunker, vultures

decides to go full retard by going all in

Fucking B teamers, wish we could go back in time, this is embarrassing.

Just finished watching the games and i wanted to say that B-Teamers like soulkey and others that kept playing broodwar these days are fucking garbage.

Specially that last game, completly embarrassing, people play the game these days are trash.
