Kid, don't threaten me. There are worse things than death, and uh, I can do all of them.
Artosis cast a Terran 1-base mech all-in vs Zerg for the CNSL that he’s covering on youtube right now: https://youtu.be/nbsdBDRp2-o

Probably not a good build, but interesting!

Not professional but i don't think there's another starcraft remastered thread anywhere? Anyway:

happened across this trailer for a "remaster" of an old UMS map called Racoon City:

there's a full playthrough of it here that was pretty entertaining:

While you're waiting for ASL, a week and a half ago there was some Saudi Starcraft 2 tournament and they had a 4 player starcraft 1 invitational with fantasy, Bisu, Stork, and Jaedong casted by tastosis. Game 3 of the finals is one of the best games I've seen in a long time, so spoiler warning I guess because I'm linking it here

StarCraft English has groups A and B out already for ASL 16 round of 24. I know they're not Tastosis, but Nyoken and Eonzerg have a pretty fun chemistry for 15 and now 16.

I have been watching starcraft for nearly 25 years now. I have seen around three professional ZvZ games get to hive tech. That game was without a doubt the best ZvZ I've ever seen

Wow. Just amazing games.

And let me just say: Artosis' knowledge of all the various matchups is just crazy good.

As annoying as his personality is (I was going to say his online personality, but we all know that's the real him), I agree 100%, one of the most knowledgeable Starcraft people in the world.

Will be funny if the huge amount of Zerg in the round of 16 leads to people actively trying to go to late game in ZvZ.

Pretty exciting ZvZ, although not comparable to group D (but I'm not sure anything ever will be).
And there goes two more high-tier players. At least we'll have slightly better racial balance in Ro16 now.

Seems like he was focusing on production and ignoring actually microing his units. Seems to fit with what they were talking about him being a lower APM player. I yelled at my screen when he had those marines idling.

But that's twice we've seen long-distance gas mining for a ZvZ timing attack in this ASL. Even if it's never going to be a thing on ladder, we seem scarily close to the point where it's a fixture of the pro-game meta. Next season it'll be normalised and we'll be hearing Artosis sermonising: "Jaedong should have known to scout for gas caravans and the reason he lost is because he didn't"
