Managed to catch the last few games of the ASL team final last night, and it was kind of amusing how an Sc2 player managed to roll over Flash. It would've been cool if they did a mixed-race 3v3 as the tie-breaker match though

Says he played in a major Sc2 tournament just last year: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IEM_Season_X_-_Taipei Edit: Anyway I haven't really followed Sc2 in a couple of years so I'm a bit out of the loop on the pros, watching deathballs running into each other got too boring. I'm just glad BW came back! I even used to hold a subscription to watch it back on GomTV when Tasteless would cast on his own (sometimes with Susie or SuperDanielMan)

I hope if it does go ahead that they put in a proper spectator mode too. Thats's something I miss from watching Sc2 esports: unit counters, resources etc.

Just caught up on the first 2 days. Always astounding how often players come back and win from seemingly dire situations.

Zillions magazine posted:I would love a super minor balance patch that just made some of the unusable/fringe poo poo fractionally better just to see how much it would shake up the meta Yeah, I wonder if even a small UI fix would make them more viable, because it almost seems like even 400APM isn't enough to individually select every tiny ghost or corsair and use an ability while doing everything else at the same time. Anyway, it was a really cool game as were Mong's eyebrows.

I really thought that Mong would make it out of the group, but Baxter played well. WDIIA posted:As I understand it, and I haven't dug that deep tbh, Sea touched a woman on stream and people said it was inappropriate so he was banned. He proclaims that it was staged or something, and I haven't cared to watch the video to see how bad it was. But there you go. Looks like some gifs were posted: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/6ys9yu/seas_public_statement_regarding_his_asl_ban/dmqhmof/?st=j7zp32dm&sh=eb27d267. Not very appropriate behaviour but I was expecting worse (assuming it's not another dumb streamer roleplay).

Yeah, I laughed when they were reminiscing about Tasteless' GomTV days and Artosis brought up the Panda Bear guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdfPsKWyQik  Edit: I forgot they had unit counts back then. I wonder what ever happened to that and why ASL was lacking even resources counts for so long (until HD came out), while GomTV had it 7 years ago.

Great games, players were very evenly matched.Elephunk posted:Is anybody doing spoiler-free youtube playlists or something? Now that we're in ro.8 I have to watch all the commercials and not touch my mouse to get timer-spoiled. The top comment has unspoiled time stamps for the games (the guy always puts 5 even if there aren't 5), but it means you miss the Tastosis pre-game banter. I just click past the ads and have never felt spoiled since the videos are usually 2 hours anyway, given how much filler they put in.

Kind of sucks that one side of the bracket is being decided by ZvZ's since it's such a volatile matchup. The way it turned out, the best player to go up against Flash/Bisu in the final just got eliminated imo.

Games like Counterstrike are great competitively but as a viewer you're constricted to one player's viewpoint at a time which kinda sucks, when in every other genre you can mostly see everything. That said, I find that I can't get into eSport games unless I've played them myself to some degree.

I think part of Rapid's problem is he tries to emulate Korean commentators who also regularly yell. But yeah that Flash v Bisu match was a bit of a letdown, game 3 was funny though I guess.

Game 3 was incredible. Also I hope Flash wasn't trolling when he said in the post-game interview that he'd try and win it again but playing as a different race.

LLCoolJD posted:I'm not qualified to weigh in on the balance of Sparkle but I love strange maps like it and hope they keep them in the rotation.  I've really enjoyed the Sparkle games because you can tell the island map meta is still in it's infancy compared to conventional maps, so you get to see pros experimenting with different strats.I'm looking forward to seeing how the seeded Terrans handle it, especially Flash.

Lol that the best casting partner to Rapid that Afreeca could find was a guy who obviously never watched ASL and whose only experience of Brood War was playing money maps as a kid.  Also Rapid calling Mind "Flash" in the ZvT half the time was so bad.

Antares posted:third world seems decent enough for a 'weird' map but as expected sparkle wore out its welcome in the ro24 I guess they felt compelled to come up with a way for players to win games against Flash, and this was the result. It's just a pity all the other Terrans got caught in the crossfire.

Corbeau posted:Alternately, find a way to delete the Zerg-only gas on any start location that doesn't have a Zerg player. That way there's enough gas to survive early, but not quite as ridiculous an excess after taking another main. Though I imagine if this was possible with triggers, then it would have already been tried. Triggers could do it, but they wouldn't work because the map must be made to run in Melee mode and triggers would require Use Map Settings. Elyv posted:Mini vs Larva was not a good series Yeah, it looked like Mini had really done his homework on Larva's hydra-only play and completely demolished it. Larva really needed to try something different but didn't and got smashed every time.

Kite Pride Worldwide posted:This series has been all over the place. Some of the highest highs, some of the lowest lows... I think it's been pretty fun overall though, with its weird experimental maps. That being said, I'm a-okay if next season is some plain-rear end Circuit Breaker and Gladiator again. I suppose the map pool did what it intended to do: eliminated Flash  . The experimental maps seem to be wearing thin on everybody so in all likelihood I'm guessing it'll be standard maps next season.

I'm surprised it isn't https encrypted but I guess it fits the 'camsite from last decade' design lol. Yeah Group D should be good. Given what we saw in KSL it's gonna be tough for JD to take a game off Flash I would think.
