kinda wish g1 wasn't botched would have been interesting to see how it played out In a way, this was the best possible outcome. The other best possible outcome would be someone not dropping a game in back to back zerg mirrors, but thankfully we don't have to hope for that impossibly unlikely outcome. I don't fully understand what happened between killing all the zealots and mismicroing against the last new zealot in g5. Queen should have been able to do more during that period and the observer didn't really show us what happened. I get that Queen was mega tilted and did a strategy he hadn't planned or practiced to do -- which is always a recipe for disaster. I can't tell if hero vs larva is going to be a blood bath or devolve into a circus of "let's make air units and get air upgrades and then mash 3.5 control groups of mutas into each other". ZvZ has had that weird arc kinda frequently over the past year or two. Khorne fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Jun 2, 2021 |

Upon further reflection, I'm flummoxed by how mini made queen look totally out his depth. even when queen did try some early game aggression it was like he wasn't fully comfortable with the playstyle. and those timing attacks on the +1 fast zealots are something to behold, although he won't get away with those again probably. I am very glad with how this series turned out, and I'm looking forward majorly to seeing larva v hero. I'm rooting for larva, he is such a personality, and he plays so goddamn well.

Yeah, I suppose it's a bit of a disadvantage for mini to have to play against zerg in the semis and the final - he certainly can't have as many surprises in the bank now. At least he can practice the match-up a lot...

The ASL casts seem pretty late this week. Finals are in under 24 hours. The remaining RO4 game happened 2 days after the one they put up a while ago.

The StarCraft English Channel is usually about 2-3 days after the event happens, then it seems Tastosis is almost a whole week after. Don't understand why unless it's some non-compete thing with Afreeca

https://vod.afreecatv.com/PLAYER/STATION/73482232 Not sure why Tastetosis are so far behind, there are probably reasons, but i ended up watching the scan/nyoken cast. It is pretty good and while maybe not as entertaining, their game reading and explanation even is superior. It is actually somewhat confusing to me that there seems to be an english livecast on afreeca after all, just not by tastetosis. So i dont really understand what the problem was. Their pitch to support their patreon to "keep english asl alive" appears kind of misleading. Or am i missing/misunderstanding something? E: oh, i now remember something about tasteless nd artosis being on twitch and therefore not being allowed to cast on afreeca or something anchorpunch fucked around with this message at 10:21 on Jun 7, 2021 |

Most partner agreements, at least the ones I've seen which are admittedly older, allow you to broadcast on other platforms as long as it's not to twitch at the same time. So if the stream is on afreeca and not twitch it would not have been in violation. And that's as an individual streamer. They are even more lax when you are doing it for a studio and not yourself, and because an element of human judgment is involved "I work for a korean broadcasting company that broadcasts on their own platform x and uploads to youtube" is not something they're likely to act against. Now I'm wondering what afreeca asked them to do vs how they interpreted everything vs whether they consulted with a lawyer or not. You'll get lots of bad advice from twitch cs & random people you talk to. Khorne fucked around with this message at 14:49 on Jun 7, 2021 |

game 4 of the second semis made me so frustrated and I'm not even a fan of either player why didn't you just kill the third and expand yourself instead of trying to break 4 spores or whatever it was, hero

Elyv posted:game 4 of the second semis made me so frustrated and I'm not even a fan of either player Hero seemed exhausted in the final game and had a lot of mistakes that happen when you aren't really focused like not reacting to lings hitting his drones. e: pretty sure hero was expecting to crush larva through micro/aggression alone because larva tends to play a bit of a "one step slower than you" zvz or does a hidden massing kind of thing. when you go in with that expectation and get trivially held by someone who has way more drones than you it's pretty demoralizing. I'd imagine it's hard to find a zvz practice partner nevermind one who plays the matchup like larva does. Larva has this "I am just going to play the game and not try to get a free win, if you want to win you have to prove you can play better than I do" thing going on in zvz.

I really wish they would pad the end of the video with some b-roll so it's a fixed length like 3 or 4 hours so you couldn't tell who was going to win after the first few games, especially in these games that are longer than a best of 3. I feel like they (or someone) use to do that years ago.

Khorne posted:He could have just mowed down the natural multiple times but didn't recognize how far ahead he was. As long as those scourge didn't connect he would have won any fight even on the spores. Even when he ggd the muta count was close to equal and he had just lost ~5-6 mutas to scourge and just fought on spores. but fighting on top of the spores instead of just getting a free kill on the third which he had scouted and taking his own third before going in for the kill in a few minutes was riskier

Protoss mind controlling an overlord in order to transport the trapped army off of the middle island was amazing. And then the game was finally decided when that overlord was killed, trapping the army again!
