Competitive StarCraft: Brood War on the 'log.Today is the first day for the round of 8 of Afreeca Starleague Season 20:BarrackS (T) vs Mini (P)Not controversial to say that Mini is favoured here, but hey, this is the season of upsets apparently.Korean livestream: https://play.sooplive.co.kr/afstar1English livestream: https://www.sooplive.com/sctvenSpanish livestream: https://www.sooplive.com/sctvespoficialJapanese livestream: https://www.sooplive.com/sctimesLiquipedia page:https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/ASL/20
How are we feeling Barracks boys?
>/ourguy/ vs /ourguy/no matter who wins, we lose
Mini always has a chance to lose to himself
Zergbros we have to cheer for-aw who am I kidding, it doesn't matter who wins, Zerg always wins in the end! Believe in the soma!
>Roaring Currents game 2kino already
>missed pretty much all of the RO16 due to sleep requirements, except for the one where Soulkey got knocked outFugggggg. At least I like both Barracks and Mini. I'm happy no matter who wins. For the sake of having a prediction to point at in a couple of hours, I think Barracks is going to take it but it'll be close. He's generally played pretty well this season and I think his style might be tricky for Mini to deal with, especially if he wins game 1 and ruins Mini's mindset.
>no mirrorThat's the only thing that matters
>>721331068Mini is /ourguy/ but Barracks is popular too. They're the two most expressive players in the whole tournament.
>>721331068Jaedong went to live on a farm upstate
nothing against barracks, but I prefer miniand I want protoss to win>>721331096The entire ro16 was great, make sure you watch it
terranbros...
What if we end up with an all Protos Ro4 again?
>>721331264we got this
SHOULDER STATUS: PUFFY
>no exposed shoulders todaybut I'm digging her skirt
>>721331276>that year when we had both KSL and ASL running simultaneouslyAbsolutely degenerate. It might've actually be too much Brood War.
he looks just so dishonest, like he's actually plotting something and trying not to laugh diabolically
>>721331440I love /ourguy/ BarrackS.
>Mini picked Currentsbased
>>721331546Gives me hope that he has some sekret tech mapped out.
most nervous man of today vs most nervous man of all time
I'm with Barracks. Mini creeps me out.
>>721331769Wow, rude.>>721331753lmao
LET'S FUCKING GO BARRACKSYOU ARE THE SOLE TERRAN HOPE>>721331842Based King.
>2 facIT'S TIME
Barracks wants blood
Nexus first in a map which opponent picked, first game of night, and he knows he can get tilted if he loses that one. Mini going all in.
here we go
MINI SHUTTLE SPOTTED
>fleet beaconlet's go
>Fleet BeaconOh boy.
>Barracks>No barracks
>no comscat scanBarrackS bros..... he's not gonna find out it's carriers until it's too late.....
>>721332341>Mini>army supply is really big
>sad reavers crawling home
Are the eng, esp, and jp streams official ones or just restreams made by fan commentators?
such a weird game already
Barracksbros not like this...
carriers are such bullshit lol:DDDD
GGsMini played well.Still looked like he was in pain at the end regardless kek
>>721332473What the hell does "official" supposed to mean? I don't think any of them are paid
inb4 4-0 with just carriersdo it barracks pull out the ghosts
>>721332473Fan commentators but they're official in that they receive clean streams from the organisers
>>721332473>>721332749Tastosis streams are uploaded to Afreeca's official youtube
>>721332798Sure but they didn't want to pay them anymore so they went the patreon route
>>721332789carriers < ghosts < corsairs with dweb
I wish Xun would stop talking so god damn much. Like you dont need to fill every fucking second of the cast with fluff dude
oof
>>721332868>corsairs with dwebEven if it takes 20 more years we'll get there one day I'm sure
MEME MAP TIME
Do you guys think BarrackS should've suspected a Nexus first in game #1? It feels like something very Mini-esque.
>>721333157Mini won an ASL doing nexus first every single game
can you build anything on that little spot between the two bridges and third base? i mean on the previous map, because i feel like terran would do a lot better if they could
>>721333157If Barracks had repaired his tanks on that first push he would have won. He died to micro, not necessarily responding incorrectly
Who is favoured between T and P on Roaring Currents?Also would a straighforward ground push by the Terran be a viable strategy? Because unlike Zergs, Protoss don't have any viable air-to-ground attacks until they get to carrier, so I feel like a midgame ground push might be good.But I haven't played StarCraft in like 6 years so what do I know.
2PORT LMAO
That drop:4 vultures (75 x 4 = 300 minerals)7 probes killed (50 x 7 = 350 minerals)Worth.
Somewhere out there Leta is smiling.
>>721333476Lost mining time too, both from pulling the drobes and having to wait for the new ones to be rebuilt
klokin raisu
>Tanks can just hit the mineral line from behind the wallThat's fucking gay but also fuck protoss
surely Barracks will spot that third any moment now, right?
>Barracks fucking around with drops while Mini already going for 4th base
>>721333623I think Mini overexpanded
>Mini
nice one, keep those tosses honest
>No carriers>Loses
Obviously terran map. It's just one long hallway, all you can do is attack the tank line from the front.
>mini
>missed game #2>BarrackS wonWoah.
>gate firstBUCKBROKEN
mmmm SCBs...
MMMMMMMM SCBS
fuck
>lost another reaverminibros...
GO BARRACKS GO
Mini fumbled like 5 reavers this game
SHITnibros
>goons shoot the vultures every timeWoaw
he's begining to believe
welpI really hope snow beats effort
dude mini, go carrier bro
Seriously, ban the bowlcut in korea.
>yfw you realise you're Mini
Minibros...
Woaw RAZER Viper V3 Pro White #ad #stargirlismywife
>>721330836worst koreans ruined StarCraft and are to RTS's what jeets are to Canada.
>>721334824lmao
>$190 mouse
Chance of dishonesty?
>>721335252Protoss is playing, so 100%
>>721335356Mini's not dishonest. He's gonna nexus first and reaver drop you.
fucking ninja zealots
>>721335426What now?
hey Shitotis, you taking notes you loser? Maybe by the time you are 50 you'll be able to stop simple cheeses
such dishonesty
TOTAL SCV DEATH
barracks really hates scans and vision
>He can't do anything about DTs>All of them got murdered on screenWtf is this cast?
is mini the b teamer being good with shuttles a meme?
remove the fucking observers you fucking retard
>>721336141>watching EN castshiggy diggy
/pol/star time
every foreigner a muttosisfag
Anyone catch the sign?
>>721336141English cast being utterly wrong has been a meme for a couple of years now. The previous duo were only marginally better too.
Guys, how is this game still popular? It's literally older than me by 5 months
EZ
lol
HEAD ANGLE = PAST 45 DEGREES
<- ASL 20 Champion
>>721336643Don't look up AoE2 tournaments
What the hell even happened? Mini tried to cheese and somehow lost his third base?
>he already started StargateOH NO NO NO
>>721336643because it's actually good, fairly well balanced, with a high skill ceiling and great to watch
>>721336849Snow's going to destroy him if he does beat Mini.
>>721336928seriously? for what? carriers?
>>721337009what are snow's odds vs effort?
what was that previous song, even shazam cant find it
>>721337087low i'd say, effort is very good and also unconventional and off meta
>>721337087It'll be sketchy. Snow only dies to Zerg which is a strike against him in the matchup and Effort's best matchup is against Protoss. But Snow is a top-4 player so he might be good enough to win regardless.
>>721337195it's all AI slop
>>721337226I miss the days when Afreeca would put Scandinavian metal songs as their intro.I 'member Beast in Black.
>I'm getting chills
>>721337416I still listen to this one from time to timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N4tXf3Ensw
>>721337495This was before Beast in Black really blew up in popularity. Thanks Afreeca for introducing me to them.

AAAAAAAAAAAA FUUUUUUCK
damn
what a huge gamble
DAS RITE TELEPORT JEW
Mini pain status?
OH NONONONO
I feel Terrans do this cheese all the time and somehow players still haven't learned. Just take 1 probe off and scout for proxy
good cheese won against evil greed
all 4 protoss will get eliminated in the first game as usualboth t and z have solved the game against protoss
BARRACKS I NEVER DOUBTED YOU
KEK MINITHAT REACTION
TERRANGODS
>>721338057>TELEPORT JEW
i hate gamblers, they are the scum of the earth
I fucking love Barracks bros
>that barracks stan in the crowd cryingBased
It's a good day to be a TerranCHAD.
>THIS GUY IS ACTUALLY CRYING>HAHAHAHAHAkek
>>721338226God i miss Flash so much it's unreal
REMINDER: This is the first time ever that BarrackS has made it into the round of 4. This is his best performance ever, historically speaking.
>>721338226When was it that he entered as random again
Just here to put you in your place.
>>721338356Me too, man.
>>721338381What a gif
Man, I remember the days when even Mong was considered (by me at least) better than BarrackS, but now Mong fails to crack the top 16 but BarrackS is in top 4.Anyways, Snow versus Effort tomorrow.DON'T MISS IT!!!!
thoughts?
>>721338381>one button macro>fischer price gamei hate sc2 so much it's unreal
>>721338389>tranny annihilation: stopped being relevant 2 years after launch>sc: paid tournaments are still held to this day
>>721338585Really hard to guess, Snow is legit like the best Protoss currently active, but he's against Effort who is an expert at assassinating top players.At the very least it'll likely be a close 4-3, and not one-sided.
>>721338585Snow needs to get kicked out
>>721338585mmmmmmm hybralisbs.......
>>7213385854-0 with hydra busts in every game
>>721338627>paidCan't even keep it alive without paying people to play it?
Even BarrackS is crying.
>>721338680BarrackS would fare much worse against Snow than against Effort, in my honest opinion.
>>721338756he's crying of guilt for playing the strongest race and still having to resort to cheesing
>>721338756I just woke up and... Barracks won?! This guarantees him in the top 4 which seeds him for next tournament? That's an accomplishment for someone considered a R16 jobber. God damn I gotta watch this series how the hell could Mini throw it?
fucking great games today, Mini never fails to deliver tardKINO of highest quality
>>721338585Effort shows weakness, Snow freezes him out, he's stone cold, blocks every effort, it'll be a snowy day tomorrow, a cold day for Zerg
>>721338916>how the hell could Mini throw it?By being Mini.
>>721338916>how the hell could Mini throw it?Honestly at one point it seemed like a competition about who could throw the game harder
>>721338940This, regardless of the outcome, even if Mini fails, it guarantees an entertaining set of games.
>>721339005that's why I was hoping he would make it to the finals
>>721334824
>Roaring Currents as Game #1 tomorrowBased.
I wish they did these at a different time, I can't catch them before work.
