This is my most looked-forward to group in the entire round of 16.I like all four players.
SNOWBROS LETS FUCKING GO
Man this group is stacked. I'd like to see JD go through but I don't think he has much chance here.
>>720715490this is Snows tournament to lose
Barely had any sleep but let's go! Raise your dongers!
SHOULDER STATUS: COVERED
>>720715429Same Ive been skipping korea time lately for more sleep. But, today? Today is a LIVE dayPrepar
>>720715736you are not and will never be owed "shoulders"
Dongbros, how are we feeling today?
soon
>>720715495>>720715848Just the fact that there are 2 Ps in the group makes this doable.
>>720715848Artosis keeps jinxing him.>JD IS BACK!Stupid.
sharp bros...
>>720715832It's over
riba incoming
COME ON SNOWLETS KILL SOME SCVS
Repair is op
Predictions:Jaedong 2 - 0Snow 2 -1Mini 1 - 2Sharp 0 -2
>>720716768Imagine slandering my Dong like that >JD 9-0>everyone else 0-3
>carriers
dishonest carriers
>tosser goes from dishonorable shuttle reaver to dishonorable carrier play >gets scanned
>>720716952CARRIER HAS ARRIVED
so this is the legendary Snow PvT?
>>720717020>shuttle reaver: dishonorable >carriers: dishonorable >DTs dishonorable >recall: dishonorable >gateway man: dishonorable ape race everyone
kek
just tuned in, what did i miss
>counterattacks with 3 goons>terran pulls back his entire army
>12 carriers
its over
>>720717148marines vs zealotsno upgradesLost Templethe only honorable match
the "oh shit" moment when you realize your gols are losing
>sack your entire army of Goliaths just to bring one carrier to red health
someone post LIVE ARTOSIS REACTION
CARRIER DOWN
There's actually not that many interceptors right now, he could fight them
don't watch brood war often, why wouldn't valkyrie splash clear fighters faster?
There aren't that many carriers, but the key is that protoss managed to protect his expansions.Usually protoss only loses if the initial terran push wipes out most expansions by the time P gets out enough carriers. Snow got this.
>>720717576Valkyries are really hard to control and really only do good splash to stacked units, interceptors spread out really well, plus Valkyries are super low range and slow so they just sort of lose vs carriers
>>720717591yeah that high ground right next to terrans bottom left base is snows win condition
>>720717591Yeah, they are just too efficient, if Snow was starved for minerals sharp would have had a chance
>>720717662i see, thanks
>>720717710>if Snow was starved for mineralsmaybe next game..
MAEK
>>720717576It would be probably super unreliable. Plus you would need a critical mass of valkys so they 1shot interceptors before they repair.They are expensive and you might just die before you get critical mass without spamming goliaths.Plus valkys used to be bugged out by too many units on the map and don't fire, and interceptors were almost guaranteed to bug them out. They should work on SC remaster, but they still carry the stigma of being useless against carriers. I wonder if progamers bothered experimenting with valky vs carrier.
Cuuuute
>>720717768>valkys used to be bugged out by too many units on the map and don't firemyth, that only happened in huge 8 players games
>>720717576Protoss always brings ground army with carriers in pro games. You need the goliaths to protect tanks from zealot/dragoon. If you go mass valkys, you get rekt on ground.
>>720717868not sure about 1v1 tb.h, but it definitely happened in 2v2 games that I used to play all the time with my mate
just have one fucking vessel against toss, suddenly you can destroy all the observers on the path and lay mines and possible emp the carrierswhy are pros like this?
but /v/ told me dong is king in ZvZ
>>720717998Busy turbo microing one scvPlease understand
>>720717998This isn't TvZ where it's easy for a vessel to run after casting spellsCarriers have tank range on top of being air units
Alright boys get your>Miniready for when he inevitably throws
>>720718005nooo you don't get it, he was REALLY good only 16 years ago, he will be back in form any moment now
>>720718086ive been burned too many times rooting for jaedonggonna try being a mini fanboy today
>WOW WHO WOULD HAVE EXPECTED A HYDRA BUST
Didn't Jaedong play StarCraft 2 for a while? Was he any good?>posture of an otaku>claws of a wolverine kek
Holy fuck SC streams are still going? Is Tasteless still a commentator?
That was some good zealot micro
>>720718192he's become a cryptid
>>720718192Artosis and Tasteless still do commentary on every ASL but not real time because they don't get paid for it. They usually upload their commantary a few days later.
>>720718192Nah him and artosis commentate vods a few days after the fact on YouTube tho
mini seems to have read the situation despite not seeing the 3rd, he knows it's not all in
IM GONNA BOOOOOOOOST
>>720718240>because they don't get paid for itThey get a ton from fans, tasteless also doing that SC2 thing
no mini dont throw those zealots...
>>720718240>they don't get paidhonestly they should have learned and then started casting something else fifteen years ago, mobas are pretty popular in Korea, seems like they would have been a good fitThey would have been great at filling all the dead air in any game, they would have been great for counter-strike too
>>720718441artosis is like the bisu of castersstarcraft for life
>maek
>>720718351>tasteless' grift project is currently the highest tier SC2 tournamnetgrim
>>720718441they actually ended up doing tekken 7 at a multi-game event like five years back when the local commmentators got caught in traffic. it was fine, they were silly.
>reverse hydra bust>don't even need cannons because you just go out and slap the hydras sillyMini can be really good when he doesn't throw games.
TOTAL DRONE DEATH
AAAAAAIIIIEEEEEE DONGBROS WHERE IS YOUR SUNKEN
>Play normal, non greedy game>Hmm zerg can hydra bust me or go heavy muta firstZamn, this is what toss players have to predict every game vsZ? Truly nightmarish
>>720718239>this man used to get unlimited korean pussy
No expansion behind this, killing blow coming next
>angry men with knives keep rushing inguess this is how toss players feel whenever they get ling rushed
>>720718526i gotta see that
>>720718651this is what it feels like to ride the subway in the US
JD needs the greatest observer snipes or he ain't gonna make it
Mini is NOT fucking around today
Total PROtoss dominationTerrards and zergoffs seethe
>Jaedong
the big Dong has been turned into the Mini Dong
>>720718775umm... jaedong can just beat sharp and then snow in best of 3s...
>Mini'd
>jejdong
>>720718665easier to find than i thoughthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYeUUC3l418
>Snow vs Minimy two GOATs going against each other...
That seemed like a weird place to take a 3rd for zergWhat was jaedong thinking?
>>720718570Yeah, there's been a real trend among protoss players to just play super greedy and hope they just don't lose to any timing, so predictably they lose all the time to hydras and mutas and look like idiots
>>720718903>god I can't wait to maek hydra, shit's gonna boooost so hard
>>7207189843 hatch hydra? wow did artosis come up with that too?
>>720718903>What was jaedong thinking?I MAEK HYDRA
If snow gets out of this he's going to beat up barracks again in Ro.8 isnt he?poor barracks....

>>720719289Reavers
Mini...

>Mini
>baseracePvP truly is the intellectual matchup
Snowbros....

all your base are belong to us
>a fucking shield battery
HOLY FUCK how did snow win that
NO MIDERALS FORE SCRABS :DDDDDD
that last fucking scarab
ACK
>>720719801Maybe mini should have made 2 cannons instead of 2 batteries? Though the batteries seemed like a 200 IQ play
>>720719801>HOLY FUCK how did snow win thathow to win PvP: have more dragoons
Mini? DESPERATE
dishonest pylon!
>immediately cheesesffs
ACK!!!!
>loses (1) ONCE>skill immediately reverts to a B-rank protoss
>>720719926Carbot has a lot to answer for
DISHONOR
lol
>Lmao2bat
kek this is so retarded
NGL mini makes the games really fun
MAEK SHIELD BATTERY
Looney tunes ass shit.
This fucking match
I feel Mini is so predictable because he does this every time, especially after a loss.
>>720720270Mini is literally incapable of just playing normally
where is snows reaver???
>two identical armies engage>they fight until there's only one goon left standingamazing matchup
that shuttle bait
>mini

>Knee statusUncoveredncovered
>>720721163coom in loom
>>720721096i was briefly in master league in like 2012 just from cannon rushing. does that count?
>>720721183What did he mean by this
>>720721191There is literally literally only one thing that makes women more wet than watching a cannon rush, and that's being cannon rushed
>sw*des
>that friendship windmill
GO DRONES GO
oh it's going to be one of those games
>>720721567Small indie country, please understand
that was really badly played by JD, just put 1 ling on the building SCV man
Wow your mom let's you have TWO bunkers?
that's a lot of lings
But why is the ramp so small, like fucking OP Terran needs any fucking help. This is retarded
>TOTAL SCV DEATH>T still up in economy
kekeke
>>720721873Sharp threw thatHe should know JD is all in yet he chose to only leave 2 SCVs to block ramp
Know your place Terrankek

TOTAL TERRAN DEATH
oh fuck

>called sharp>makes huge blundersmore like dull
man I'm tired of watching mediocre terrans like sharpBRING BACK FLASH
Total MM death.
any particular reason for this heavy hydra play and not progressing into ultras?
Dong doubters... your response???
>>720723021Mini.
how the fuck do you continue losing head-on engagements as a terran when you have by far the best defensive armywhere the fuck were the spider mines and more tanks
>map made up of a single narrow lane>zerg can push and defend with a single swarmhow can terran even win here
>>720720250>>720720303None of these girls look different.
>>720723086not losing his entire air wing to random scourge swarm would be a good start
>>720723098is that really a problem?
>>720723086>>720723143sharp is too slowthe difference in watching Snow respond to anything his probe sees and Sharp is like night and day
>>720723086terran can also defend really well there with a few tanks set up despite swarm
>>720723098>girls
>slept in>missed korea timeFUCK
>washdong vs tilti
>>720723518*smack*
why are they wearing both earphones and headphones?

>>720724127talking about that botched scourge engagement
>>720724089FVAAAAAAAARK
PATREON PATREON
>>720724078this man is deceased
>>720724176mini just engaged wellhe didn't panic because he knows jaedong is desperate with no spire so he took his time and positioned well
>when in doubt zergling flood
>jaedong threw away an overlordLMAO
>supply blocked himself
WHAT A CHOKE
embarrassed for JD...
>build cannon>winit's that simple, protoss players
>finally a drone roundDamn I thought he really is tilted and would just continue producing zerglings
welp time for a hydra all-in dongbros
I'm doing quite well tonight lads
>>720724514It's been a pretty wild night.
>maek hydra
>>720724514kek

>>720724640drobes :)
MOOTA
CAPE MEN
CAPED
INVISIBLE MEN
FUCKING INVISIBLE MEN
JD bros not like this...
ROUND 2
CAPED AGAIN
JD BROS....I'm thinking he's....washed...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>he's jaedone
TOTAL PROTOSS SUPREMACY
>21 kills on the DTthe fuck is this B rank ass play
>j-jaedong is b-bACK!!!
The Mini fanclub in the crowd never stopped believing
>>720724937mini fucking revealed the DT when it attacked the hydras out on the map tooas soon as you know DTs are out why wouldn't any zerg just immediately place an overlord and at least a sunken at each base?
n-next season for sure, JDbros...
>>720725001>21 kills
>>720725037that's like 3 hydras worth of minerals
>>720725037that's a waste of minerals and you know it
>>720725062
>>720725001if you were looking at the minimap, after like 15 kills JD was just staring at the screen, didn't move the camera or the droneshe already gave up 15 seconds before he gg'd
>>720725113>>720725137It's only a waste of minerals if you don't lose any drones
>>720725113>>720725137It's better to lose the game than make 1 sunken in the main during mid game? well it's zerg's choice if they want to lose games the same way every season
>>720725187Yeah so much tilt, I haven't seen that in years
>>720725221the lack of hydras on the push also spells doom hereand remember he was playing from behind after supply blocking himself with the early rushyou can't play safe, you have to bumrush like a hobo on crack
gg lads, what a fucking night
>>720725037When zerg players lose an overlord for no reason they tend to tilt hard
>>720725331I'm going to spend the next hour opening all the progamer VODs to see their reaction to JD losing an overlord MY FUCKING SIDES
thoughts?
he shouldve stationed one overlord and one or two hydras or make that sunken after that one dt escapedhe just emptied his base for some reason, probably didnt notice that one dt ran away
i mean dong played well but he lost because he missed the move out in the first game and then that overlord mistake in the second game
>>720725379My heart says Light and LarvaMy head says Light and Soma
>>720725379soma has to represent zerg after jaedong embarassed himself. hoping light and soma make it through
>>720725379Soma and Larva. Light plays like Artosis
>>720725379light and larva. Light loses to Snow in finals or soma faces snow in the finals. And loses.It's Snow's time, baby
>>720725572Soma sometimes gets picked over even Snow in recent proleagues. he's a really dangerous zerg. Snow fans should hope soma gets cheesed out of the group tomorrow
>>720725679He was picked last I think but Snow is really strong right now so I don't know. I think he can beat anyone right now
Im just glad Soulkey is outI hate that faggot
>>720725891terranny...
>>720725891It's just not fun watching zerg win games.5th hydra bust against protoss that's timed to be almost undefendable makes me want to go Artosis on those fags
I love Toss games despite thinking it's the worst race because they are always the funniest to watch and talk about
>>720725995Like Terran doesn't do cheese all day long, we saw it today too
>>720725995No. Hydra busts are noble.
Flash said that second game was very playable. jaedong just tilted and couldn't handle the pressure
>>720728596He lost some serious games vs Flash the same way, tilting was always a weakness he had even in his prime. Flash could tilt too but you gotta predict exactly what he's gonna do and kill his marines. He tilts against lings.
