Interesting style from Effort g1 and g3, simply staying on hydralurk tech and never going for Hive so Rain never has a chance to bust. I think I like it and it obviously worked. The games that actually happened were good though!

I rewatched the end of the game and I didn't see any defilers or plagues? Entirely possible I missed something

Not a particularly interesting final compared to some of the ro8/ro4 series. It's strange they set up a big event (and start an hour early) and don't even make it best of 7.

Lol that Last used his float factory into the opponents island expansion cheese two series in a row. Mini also had a terrible time getting any value from his reavers in most of the games and couldn't keep up with Last's ridiculous macro.

KSL is next up then.

I've actually found the Afreeca site to be fine, although I've never tried to watch on mobile.

I am super impressed by Last's evolution as a player; his mechanics have been insane for a long time, but he's become a smart player and excellent series planner as well

It's quite a slog at 8+ hours long. The last match in the Action vs Jat Z vs Z series is a highlight, coverage of the series starts at 3:34, and the final set starts at 3:52.

They're planning ahead for how big they expect Tasteless to blow up to in future years. It seems like a good prediction to me (what a waste of a handsome genome).

Yeah, that's the ticket. I seem to remember him always being kind of angry which was in stark contrast to tasteless' bubbly disposition. Tasteless doesn't seem nearly as enthusiastic any more.

They have awesome jobs but I imagine the monotony of doing it for 20 years would make most people unenthusiastic. It kind of showed when remastered introduced the observer camera zoom, a novelty, and when it was being underutilized by the pros it would make him go nuts.

Superdanielman did have that "angry" energy that was fun to hear when he ripped into a player's decision in game, like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?!?" and being 100% correct on it.
I didn't mine lilsuzie that much. I didn't start watching the korean games until around 2007-2008 but I felt that she was a good foil for tasteless when it came to new viewers who didn't know the nuances of the pro multiplayer stuff. She would ask tasteless questions that I would of liked to ask to help understand the game more. I felt kind of bad for her because the IRC and gomtv stream chats were overly brutal on her performance when I think she could have filled an important niche role.

iirc daniel completely lost his fuckin poo poo while casting one of idra's rare appearances when idra started talking poo poo in the game chat during the match. it owned.

Yeah, it's a shame. They could take the approach of treating each season as a "crash course" in Brood War, using the early games to explain the basics and getting more in-depth as the rounds progressed, which would give new viewers a way in, and grow the audience. The lower quality of the early round games would enable that, and as you say lilsuzie had the style this calls for.

Anyone know when we're getting the next round of games?

Growing up watching baseball, they know how to fill the boring downtime of the game and then let you know when real action is going on unlike other casters.

I was talking to Cadenzie in the Twitch chat and apparently she made it into the offline qualifiers but gave it up to commentate them.

I'm disappointed they don't have her on since she's a current Zerg pro and most of the match ups have Zerg in them.

She's super new to casting, rapid has been around forever and even Noregret is starting to get some decent on-camera presence. She's probably got another year of being the backup to the backup

cadenzie needs to get a lot more practice, she's very knowledgeable but very very quiet and softspoken. hopefully she gets there 'cause it'd be rad to have a good woman commentator as well as someone who is better as backup than noregret.

I do not like the Rapid/NoRegret combo largely because I feel like their game knowledge is lacking so a backup who actually knows SCBW sounds awesome to me.
