Randomly saw an old blurry video of a rush on twitter about a month ago and thought "I wonder if any of the stuff I used to watch is online" and lost some rainy days getting nostalgic listening to Tasteless say "The Panda Bear Guy." Was sad I couldn't find the monkey milk game and wasn't going to give it a lot more thought until I saw this thread and started watching the new ASL. Could not believe so many of the pros I remembered from 15 years ago were still/back to playing. Can't believe I am going to end up spending money on Professional Starcraft in TYOOL 2023 after basically forgetting about it for over a decade. Also randomly had a friend ask me about the monkey milk game this weekend who had no idea I was watching.

DEEP STATE PLOT posted:as far as i can tell, the overwhelming majority of the gomtv era is lost unfortunately I was surprised that there was a full season and a half on youtube, but even more surprised the monkey milk clip was no more.

Khorne posted:sacsri (Z) vs Much (P) game 3 from the RO64 of gomtv classic s3 on the map god's garden is what you're looking for. It took place on 4/28/2009. When trying to find it I found people talking about SDM being annoyed that people kept bringing up monkey milk to him so I guess I can understand wanting it gone so it doesn't end up as a viral video. I made it up to the Semi Finals of the ASL without reading spoilers and decided "I'm curious about the history of this thing, let's google it" and immediately scrolled down the list of the winners to the end like an idiot. Really incredible tournament. I love 76.

Khorne posted:He didn't get banned from the ASL and went on to win one around that time. I'll have to go back and watch. I ended up watching Season 14 too and it feels like the quality of play is way more entertaining now than before Starcraft 2. It's hard to judge because I didn't get to watch a ton of old stuff when I got nostalgic this spring, but it does feel noticeable.

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.

I enjoyed seeing Ample attempt the strategy of "drop on drops" and it just not work at all.

Kermit The Grog posted:Can someone better versed explain how Ample can constantly bungle and loose a bunch of units but then just be fine and have a ton more units anyway? 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.

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.

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 |

Khorne posted:I watched an alternative cast instead. And I always watch artosis/tasteless stuff. It's definitely partly how it was recorded. I get why people who use headphones are annoyed by voices on separate channels but the audio quality of the announcing is poor too. But I'm watching these because whatever I like the jokes.

AtillatheBum posted:Two player maps make PvT so insanely dumb, I can't believe we haven't seen any mapmakers figure out how to prevent gas stealing. Zealots are just too strong when all Terran can make is Marines. Seems like it can't be too strong given the overall success of Terran pros compared to Protoss pros.

AtillatheBum posted:We'll see how the ASL goes but Protoss have been stomping Terran in the KCM all season long. Two Protoss players(Snow and Best) even had an all kill this season (6-0, 3 vs Z, 3 vs T). That just seems like a good change of pace to me. I mean maybe it is a problem I'm not an expert but when Artosis isn't crying about something being unfair to Terran I feel like it can't be that bad.

Sir Mat of Dickie posted:I have no words for Mini vs Barracks omg. I'm sharing that with all my friends. Same. Tasteless was so enamored with that kill the scanners strategy and all I could think was "this seems very context sensitive and not something you'd see replicated much" and Mini immediately does it in this tournament.
