Some new pro Brood War. Tastosis have put on a King of the Hill between some pro players

Larva played Light, and the dude who was casting it said that Larva just retired from 1v1s. :-(

this is correct. Info about other retirements: https://tl.net/forum/brood-war/575540-korean-pros-retiring

(somehow I remember Queen saying something similar, and his twitch stream description says "ex progamer", but that may just be out of date :confused: )

also some crypto drama involving big streamers: https://tl.net/forum/brood-war/574711-flashs-crypto-scandal

Why is that crypto thing being considered a scandal? It would be weird for them or anyone to talk positively about a crypto that they (or someone paying them) didn't have a personal stake in. All crypto is predicated on getting in early and expecting the price to go up. Buying into any crypto without the thought that you're essentially giving money to the people who already own it seems naive. The only reason to buy it is that you're expecting someone else to do the same in the future.

Pump and dump crypto schemes are quite common in Korea and this is an example of this where they were initial investors in what are almost certainly pump and dump coins, they hid their groundfloor investments from their fans while hyping up the coins. This is how crypto scams work

Yeah, this was a great start to the week's KOTH. Twitch has the whole cast as

Not every game was that long and spectacular, but there's a pretty great PvT mid way through the set as well, and a really surprising PvP as well.

I've been doing lots of brood war recently. There's a good amount of lower level players to play against on the ladder match making system. The plasma map is excellent fun.

Probably the closest thing is the teamliquid wiki homepage:

https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/Main_Page

The right hand column has upcoming matches and tournaments. Apparently "2021 AfreecaTV Challengers Starleague Season 2" is happening this weekend, who knew?

There's also a new King of the Hill from Tastosis, Patreon email came with some level of hype about the games, not had chance to watch it myself...

The final game is completely insane.

The rest are good, but the final one kinda overshadows that.

I like how the duality of "pros are human" combined with "pros are inhuman" is met with "it was so evenly matched that we ended up here". Truly a cool game where it looked like both sides were crushing at various points.

Unexpected ASL content from Tastosis:

Clearly the critical match in group C was Movie vs himself! Besides the observer snipe, there was the dragoon cage in the same game, and throwing away a massive lead in the first match in record time. Just a tragic case of self-sabotage.
