BY GOD I LOVE PROTOSS VERSUS PROTOSS
WHO'S WITH ME?????
PVP
Honestly I just love goon+reaver micro.
Also PvP is the best way to fill the screen with blue gooey Dragoon gore.
yay
No Tastosis no watch
I'm rooting for Rain just because I feel like Snow vs Sulky is a matchup that happens every tournament and it always results in Snow playing like a noob while Soulkey hydra rushes him.
What the fuck was that shuttle drop? why didn't he blow up the observatory?
it's nice to finally have a pvp game where after the first battle the guy with 1 fewer dragoons doesn't instantly gg
love that this was posted
This, Snow struggles against Soulkey greatly for some reason.
fun map
everyone struggles against soulkey
arbiter vs zerg
arbiter vs toss
this map is so much fun
Shame the Arbiters never win.
hmmmmm minerals
t. drobe
MMMMMM DROBES
Oh nonono
rip
rain is too good at pvp, even if he doesn't practice
TOTAL DROBE DEATH
Reabers
snow should've pulled back after that initial connection
did a ton of damage there
goon squeezing through pylon
kek
Drink energy drinks, obtain waifus, win ASL!
5 hour energy DRINK
It's not a DRINK
G, would you make me a pylon?
i wouldn't call any of these plastic whores waifus
remember ASL today
busy looking up stuff for job interview forget the time

When the world needed them the most... they vanished.

YOOOO
double gg
that's a paddlin'
what the hell, Rain was winning that one then Snow just started playing like two people at once with that crazy micro.
maek reaver
It's been so many years since I last kept up with korea time
Did they cancel the official english streams? Is KSL still alive or just ASL?
KSL died after 2 seasons, because Blizz couldn't be arsed to poach Korean Pros and the western Scene is so weak its not even funny.
There is no official english stream, but there is a live english stream.
the official english ASL stream died, partly because of Corona and partly because Tastosis's Twitch contract back when it was more rigid, so ASL leadership decided to kill it
Fuck that exchange was tense. I was nervous just watching it.
I don't know why anyone bothers watching 'toss games, you know they're not gonna get far in a tournament except in the rarest of circumstances (match fixing).
2 protoss in BO4
Fuck blizzard and F for Tastosis
Is ASL the only consistent league remaining these days then?
why the fuck are we paying these fat mutts, they dont even comment about the ongoing game 50% of the time
there's also the SOOP league :)
GG
WE STILL GOT A SERIES FOLKS
LET'S GO RAIN
sick pvp
Starcraft, both BW and SC2, are pretty self-explanatory outside of minutia like the Valkyrie patrol shit that I don't know why anyone would pay a commentator to commentate the game unless they're a) screaming to hype the game up (like Koreans) or b) talking about literally anything else to keep people entertained (like Tastosis).
i prefer mini to booth of them
Best vs Queen was probably the best solo Series had so far, but I agree PvP slogfest is disgusting trash, even worse than TvT and ZvZ, mainly because TvT has become more dynamic and ZvZ is over fast usually
Mini on his best day could beat Soulkey.
Mini on his worst day could lose to anyone.
He's the Protoss Wild Card.
This is the SOOP league
dunno about that, arty constantly talks about stuff i don't have a clue about, like for example he knows the exact timings of everything and will comment on that or all the other little intricacies of the game or maps
No one watches this gook shit fuck off
Beep
they renamed SSL to ASL
hi were are the mineralds :D:D:D:D:D
FILTHY DISHONESTY
fucking shield batteries in the enemy base
amazing
check liquipedia for asl18 weekly
nothing
accidentally load afreeca stream
oh right we reblanded to ssl autumn get fucked its going on right now its almost over
thanks
this game
Rain's not thinking straight, this is ogre mentally
I wouldnt think straight either, after barely avoiding my asshole getting unrecoverable gaped
this game is nuts
holy shit what
Is he fucking retarded???
shid
Mini moment.
rain? more like drizzle
what was he thinking there?
He had Snow contained. Why not expand?
snow had reavers coming up and he didnt have tech
no probes, no tech, shuttle out+reba about to come out
oh shit I forgot it was korea t-
PvP
wait is this shit already fucking over? was that a 4-0 in 2 hours or something?
Nerves, high stakes, tournaments screw up your plays in big ways. Snow won mentally the second he threw down the dishonesty gates in the middle of the map
Even worse, it was 4-2 in 2 hours.
I keep forgetting the breakneck pace of ASLs, part of me is still locked in to the kespa era where a bo5 would take 3 hours to complete
Either way fuck PvP, even if apparently there was arbiters I literally can not be fucked to watch this garbage series
oh kespa, how i miss thee
so many wonderful moments...
Is SC2 still shit? Or did they fix that garbage somehow?
1v1 is shit
but I have like 5000 games played in Coop mode, it's comfy
