https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcfxYkky61w Tasteless has been casting random ladder matches between pros. I don't think he has casted any crazy games yet, but they have been fun to watch between ASL videos.

Heavy_D posted: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" yeah but the previous time it happened it was barely long distance because of the weird mechanics of mining gas when the gas is next to the ramp

I think Mini is my favorite player outside of the guys I have nostalgia for from the 2000s. There is no more perfect player than someone who can just utterly humiliate someone with his wacky builds and cheese or lose in really funny ways.

Artosis: He's probably going to go into a defensive mech build. Tasteless: I see he's getting the armory, is there any chance he goes mech here?

kinda surprised sharp made it to ro8 to begin with. also mini seems even more tilt-able than usual this season for whatever reason so good chance he doesn't make it to finals, whether he is facing action or effort in semis. i still think effort takes this season. given their one game this season, action is prolly his biggest obstacle, but if he takes down action i think he waltzes to the championship e:oh also as i was writing that the final ro8 got posted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nqOJlWGXpI DEEP STATE PLOT fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Sep 29, 2023 |

I've seen a few attempts at using Devourers in ZvZ, but I don't recall seeing them used successfully. Every attempt end up like game 1 - the Mutalisks dodge the Devourers, which then get wrecked by Scourge.

Mooseontheloose posted:I am not even sure what Devourers are suppose to do? What is their role? their acid spores weaken armor and slow attacks. on paper having a few mixed in with mutas could be great, in practice i cannot actually recall it ever working, at least in modern starcraft. i'm sure someone could find some games from like the gomtv era where it worked or something, i dunno. action maybe could have made it work by turtling more, but effort really duped him into believing he had to attack in with that queen's nest he cancelled after it got scouted. i also feel like action made like twice as many devourers as he needed to, acid spores do stack but only up to 3 times i think? so he overproduced them for sure. and unlike soulkey overproducing queens vs. jyj, you can't really utilize excess devourers in any meaningful way, their dps is bad and they are completely un-microable DEEP STATE PLOT fucked around with this message at 14:28 on Sep 30, 2023 |

Mooseontheloose posted:I am not even sure what Devourers are suppose to do? What is their role? Devourer acid spores stack up to 9. At 4 stacks, a muta’s attack does 13 + 7 + 5 = 25 damage instead of the normal 9 + 3 + 1 = 13. So a doubling of damage dealt to the mutas affected by the spores. At 4 stacks, the enemy muta‘s attack speed is reduced by half, attacking only half as often as is normal. So halving the damage dealt by the mutas affected. So basically at 4 spores the player with devourers needs 1/4th of the mutas of the enemy in order to be on an equal footing. Effort really played Action there with the fake queen‘s nest. But I think that Action still would have won if he had stayed and fought with his largest wave of devourers.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=608lhcWH52I The first two games are out of this world. The rest...not so much. I don't usually listen to the interviews but I had to this time and the interviewer's first question to Mini had the vibes of "Mr. Burns your campaign seems to have the momentum of a run away freight train. Why are you so popular?" except completely justified, maybe understating how good Mini was. MassRafTer fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Oct 7, 2023 |
