Dweb costs like 125 energy if you have a fleet beacon there's no reason not to just build carriers. Unless you're making a statement against the guy that tried to build ghosts!

Would it be unfair to say that Jaedong really needs to work on his macro? He keeps making these fierce tactical plays with brilliant micro and an 80 supply deficit, doing next-level backflip kung-fu while his opponent just goes, "uh, okay" and rolls over him with the next couple waves of sheer numbers.

maybe but I know what you mean. In last week's matches sharp just barely held the hydra bust and JD needed to win with that otherwise the game is very hard, as we saw. Watching the mini map in that game JD's movement was actually insane he was just so far behind after the failed attack.

soulkey is #1 ranked for October so far with 80% win rate

Flash #2 with 41% win rate

jaedong #3 with 80% win rate

The September ladder was flash #1, jaedong #2, soulkey #3. Although ranked lower, soulkey's win rate was much higher than jaedong.

according to http://sponbbang.com

Group D looking good

So Fish, which for a long long time was the major Korean server, has closed down. It's a bit of a surprise to me after the included Fish support in 1.18, but there you go.

There's a lot of gnashing of teeth on TL (of course), but I don't know enough to say what really went down. What is of note, and its why I'm posting it here, is that it may signal a bit of a retreat of the Koreans from 1.8/SC:R back towards 1.16.1. It's also not good that the prime circuit for Korea players went away, even if MMR is much better in SCR (which I can't really comment on personally)

Also gently caress the GSL Super Tournament for making this a week without Good Starcraft

I think Fish closed due to funds and their "matchmaking" being outdated. They used to support themselves with ads from their special launcher and the banner in battle.net menus. The launcher was bundled with spyware and would open advertisers websites whenever you closed it. Now that everything is through the blizzard launcher they're not getting any of that ad revenue, and blizzard obviously isn't giving them any money.

As great as bisu vs flash/mind would be I think killer is favored with these maps. idk maybe the other protosses are just doing it wrong and bisu will show them.

Just caught up.

look carefully here, the casters didn't point it out:

soulkey was nervous, he messes up his split and shakes his head. He's almost 1 drone behind from the start.

flash wins a lost game vs soulkey. I think he kills 100 mutalisks with 4 wraiths.

So is there any way hero wins vs bisu or flash? Not that larva's chances were good or anything but at least he had a cool beard and sunglasses

Bisu made some weird mistakes but even if he hadnt he still seemed very far behind flash. Game 2 for example, even if bisu hadnt moved his whole army out of position to chase vultures then stasis blocked himself, flash's 3/2 push would probably still kill him. And that seemed like bisu's best serious game of the night. Idk though I've never played TvP

I played alot of starcraft back in the day, turns out its still really fun to watch pro games with english commentary.. i have watched all the ASL seasons..is there any other youtube channels or stuff like that with pro games english commentary ?

Also rapid doesnt seem so bad, solo casting must be alot harder..artosis and tasteless also miss obvious stuff like what upgrades players have or did that shuttle or whatever die when its clearly shown it did? seems to me they are talking about alot of poo poo that doesnt have anything to do with the game they are commentating, but overall i like them they say some funny stuff :D

I think ASL is the only pro games with English commentary right now but the SSL a while back had English if you want to check that out. VODs on this channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UC9Bh8GeuDVfjMRet_KAwA0A

Hey there fam, if you've been wondering why things got quiet again it seems like Afreeca was trying to do another Team Battle League but Blizz shot them down again.
gently caress you Activision fucks!!

But prelims for ASL 5 are supposed to start in February, so hold on a bit longer


Also Bisu shot expert in his marksmanship training and got a medal, because of course he did

Anyway, that was meeting reading TL so you don't have to!!

Thanks!

Yeah this confuses me too. Why don't the leagues just use Brood War instead of Remastered to get around this dumb poo poo?

I think they’re required to use remastered as part of their agreement. Blizzard owns regular brood war too anyway.

Transistor seems very good for tanks

On that desert map, I wonder if zergs can bring a drone with zerglings to nullify forge expands. Hydralisks also seem like a problem for Protoss.

Circulator seems cool. Easy 4th and 5th base? Protoss can fight Terran in the middle but finishing the game seems tough for Protoss. Idk how Protoss fights turtle Zerg here.

Zergs are gonna 2 hatch muta on Sunburst and win if their opponent is clockwise

Island map :OOO

idk about the last one
