>like Larva>like Bisu>think Larva's going to win>but that gives us a ZvZ in the semifinals which sucksCAM ON BISU, STORM SOME FAKKIN DROBES
I need more larva images
Bisu about to taste The Foot
>50 people in the room (and I mean room not a hall)grim
>A-team ace player vs his own B-team practice partnerand yet larva is the overwhelming favorite
I'm a zerg fan but let's have Bisu win this one
SHOULDERS STATUS: TRANSPARENT
I think I'd rather have a ZvZ semi and avoid the possibility of a PvP final.
>>722066629That's translucent, mate.
>>722066610NOOOO you don't get it, he was really good 15 years ago
>>722066661But the other game isn't decided ye-... Oh it's snow vs barracks nevermind lol
Bisu's foundation never matches his skin tone lol
why is the stream in English 50s behind? I'm gonna get spoiled watching it, won't i? This is awful
Love Larva but I need him to lose so that while Snow is busy PvTing to prepare for Barracks, Soma can be ZvPing nonstop until the finals and have a chance at beating Snow
WHEN I WAS
there are anons in this thread watching non-korean streams?
>>722066960THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST THE BEST
I miss Nyoken these new wanker commentators suck
starting with the meme map
>>722066984Fine, I'll watch the japanese stream
>>722066998I unironically miss Eonzerg yelling about gooliaths and how much damaj they do
>>722066984I watch the korean stream but if i miss the live broadcast I watch the english vod on starcast youtube
>>722067043you gotta admit it makes for a lot more interesting matches over the generic 4p, 3 safe bases each quadrant + contested side bases which 99% of maps copy
its been a minute lads hope youse are all well
>>7220670984 > 2 > 1 > 3

O shid here come the brodoss gorsairs XDDDD
mmmm drobes
MAEK CORSAIR
hardcore sair/reaver is the ultimate chad buildhope bisu wins this
what is larvas intended build?
not so invisible man
What would win1500 minerals of maek canbob :DD;d:D:Dor25 mineral dog and fart cloud
Isn't the point of reaver corsair is to make them instead of templars? Why didn't he invest into more reavers instead?
ENSNARE USED
>ensnare obs and shuttle>swarm it with scourgehuh
based
ensnare is a really underrated spell against terran, idk about toss
>invest into 10 corsairs >leave your army exposed to scourge
>>722067626templars are generally more cost efficient and easier to fire off storms, morph to archons, and then just mix into your control groupsreavers are good but too slow to push by themselves and vulnerable
GET ENSNARED
ensnare has now become meta
it took zergs 20 years to figure out that corsairs die when they're ensnared
What do you even do as Bisu right now? Dark Archon?
Ensnare actually seems broken as fuck, you can't push up a ramp like that
>>722067801wait until they learn that queens can infest command centers at 50% hp
>>722067862commit to mass airdominate with corsairsfollow up with SCOUTSor just win like he's already doing
ZAPPED

holy shit what if bisu realized disruption web exists

bisu should have got dweb
PLAEGU
>missed massive ensnare chancefuck
bros I'm thinking bisu is unironically washed up....
>>722068185you're right but i don't want to admit it
GG EZ
kino game
Kino as fuck game
GG Incredible game #1, that was probably the best Roaring Currents game ever.
>>722068185Bisu is fine. The game is so completely solved against protoss' weaknesses that even B tier zerg can kill top 3 protoss nowadays. It's literally over for protoss.
>>722066948Scratch that it's literally impossible not to root for larva now
go bisu! also crazy novel zerg strat game one from larva
>>722067254lmao
>>722068254lil bro really saying this shit after this completely off-meta kino
>>722068254maybe if protosses realized they had spellcasters for lategame uses, it's something that Z have been innovating with queen useprotoss players are still stuck in gateway man mindset, maybe corsairs because zoom zoom:D:D:D but some DAs, halucinations, or DWeb or fuck maybe an arbiter recall would have been better than seeing him slam his head into a brick wall nonstop
A single game was already more interesting than all the games from yesterday
>late>find out I missed an ensnare
>>722068134>Kills 11
>>722068336Yesterday was probably the biggest wet fart I've ever watched this entire season. Seriously disappointing from Best. Half of his losses were just due to improper walling off/not enough cannons.
>>722068412>latedon't do that
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSJM9qF0txw
>>722068412>An >Implying only 1Lol
>>722068486
>>722068458I missed it but I'm not surprisedI have never enjoyed best, I think his entire career was built off of spamming 2b arbiter during a brief period of time when maps were built for it and terrans hadn't figured out how to punish itHis other matchups are bad and he regularly goes on years long slump sessions, plus his playstyle is just boring as hell to watch
Go larva show that makeup-covered cryptoscammer who's boss
>>722068524he stuck with dark archons in pvz for years until it finally started working
>>722068482KEKEKEKE I like this fella
>>722068412>>722068513Tell me about Mini, why doesn't he cut his fucking nails?
>>722068332>halucinations>Hallucionate your shuttles twice so you have 3 groups>Go on top of 3 bases at once to confuse your opponent and buy some time to do more damage>Sneak a real shuttle in one of the other groups to storm the shit out of the drones while they're not looking thinking they're all fake
there better not be any bisu supporters in this thread
>>722068731

BISU DOUBTERS IN SHAMBLES
>>722068827why are protoss players always the biggest neckbeards?what is it that attracts neckbeards to protoss
>>722069346they're the elves of space
really weird game from larva
>>722069334>korean gyaru
Larva supporters are all gay men whose dicks are not only small but do not work, so they must always bottom resulting in being incontinent
>>722069334do these bitches get paid to be there?
Felt like these 2 games were already longer than the whole 6 from yesterday
Will Larva try to turtle a 3rd time or start being aggressive
>>722069397chat is this true?
>>722069334>all this plasticmeanwhile we have to use paper straws...
>>7220693342 > 3 > 1

why are the foreigners always muttosis fags
>>722069410>exact same question every single threadno, they're starcraft streamers and they compete in SC university league
Zerg are /b/tard sex perverts, disregard
>>722069428No, I'm a gay larva supporter but my dick works and I wanna plow him
>>722069381Protoss are orcs that larp as elves

bisuchads, how we feeling?
thinking larva will want to win this if he wants to win this
>casters keep sucking Protoss dick
>>722069486he's lying. it can't get hard, it's only 3 inches long
>>722069448Maybe it's because I've gotten used to manga but I can never tell whether you're supposed to count from the left or right.
>>722069725he's talking about the secret code to enter queen gohma's chamber in the deku tree
thats a lotta toss why does larva do this
another straightforward win for Bisu, the fuck is Larva doing
how is larva consistently just failing on macro? that wasn't even him being pressured, he just was permanently 15-25 supply where he should have been at all points. even with zerg supposed to be down on supply vs P, they're not supposed to be down 30-40
larva fucking sucks bros
larva can only win on meme maps
bisu managed his army really well in that fightIt was a brief glimpse of his former self.Even though he will lose 4-2, this is a much better series than yesterday
>>722069448would > would > would
>>722070029He was playing from behind after going for early aggression and getting nothing done.
>>722070029fucked up the ling flood and was behind ever since
Not looking so good larvasisters
>be zerg>have half the army size of pootoss
>best>doesn't maek>loses>Bisu>maeks>winsIt's that easy
he didnt defence it
Larva needs to make devourers and ultras
should just pull his drones and go attack him
bisubros, ive seen the future
Just turtle. Zerg late game >>> Protoss late game
>>722070374>pvp finaljesus christ, how horrifying
>>722070374In your dreams. Today is inconsequential because the winner will lose to Soma who will go on to win 4-3 to Snow
>>722070374I miss having games for third place.
>>722070374>She thinks Barracks will manage to win a game against SnowLmao
imagine playing starcraft for 20+ years and not moving on in lifei wish i cared about any hobby that much
>>722070471Larva stomps Soma
>>722070471Protoss will win ASL once again, and the dragon bisu will be the one that makes it happen.>>722070459I rather not see it again, but barracks winning aginst snow is simply an impossibility>>722070509they should make it into a fun matchup with weird maps so it is at least interesting.
>>722070567go play fortnite and fuck your non white gay lover
>ziggers when they have to play against non-terranAIEEEE MY UNLIMITED DARK SWARM CAN'T COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN THIS RACE SAVE ME BANJO
>>722070374lol
>>722070374>bisu vs snow>4-1you saw last ASL what happens when Snow picks the same strategy as Bisu. It's not even close.
don't worry, Larva will just maek hydra 3 games in a row now
>>722070374Larva needs to win, I dont want fucking PvP finals
>>722070567I make my kids win 3 games of SC each before they're allowed to do their homework
>bisuwinslol

put a fork in larva he's cooked
>>722070902i dont think im gonna let my kid play video games. i dont know. its hard to tell. everything sucks now.bw was the first computer game i ever played. cant imagine someone playing it regularly since then. i was 7 years old then lmao

LARVA YOU FUCKING IDIOTIF THAT LAST CREEP WAS A SUNKEN YOU WINYOU LOST BECAUSE YOU REFUSED TO SPEND 50 FUCKING MINERALS
good day
Fantasy tier GG timing
Wow!
FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
I hate Bisu so much
>go away for 10 minutes>come back>see the final 30 seconds of the gameWhat the FUCK happened?
>>722071267i think you mean larvasisters
whats going through his mind right now
so close to checkmating bisu
larva games are always entertaining
>Refuse to fully secure your only base that would win you the game by just making sunks>Lose
>>72207101990s grit aesthetic
>he had a lurker there>lost it inside an oviefuck
Regardless of who wins today's been entertaining as hell
>>722071673he should have kept his lurkers at home
larva will probably be wanting to win some game from now on
>>722071679yup, one of the more interesting series recently
>>722071019piss off you broccoli haired retard
>lurker in overlord doing nothing>overlord diesBRAVO
>>722071735god I love plastic korean starcraft sluts so much
>>722071735western men be likenooo you can't have plastic surgery that's sooo fake, unlike my trans girlfriend
>>722071776ick post
>Bisu on match point>anti maek hydra mapbros...
>>722071839you are not black, so stop typing like one
DISHONEST
I'm thinking larva tries some kind of hydra lurker build and bisu does some kind of winning timing build
larva bros... not like this
get cannoned nerd
ganon rush XD
well that sucked
not good not terrible
nice clean
>>722071735>ywn cuddle with your plastic gf while watching broodwar togetherI dont know why my body wakes up anymore
>>722072048they're paid to be there think about booth girls bud
LETS FUCKING GOOOOO
kek based bisu, hope torturing larva and all his fans
>>722072069I'll pay them to cuddle.
>designated anti maek hydra map>maek hydra
>>722072228>try to create anti maek map with ditches>ditches just make lurkers stronger as a result>does nothing to stop maek because overlords are the most overpowered unit
>>722072323overlords don't change this interaction, hydra dps still gets halved
>anti hydra trench>hydra just shoots overthis is ridiculous
>>722072392it does matter when hydras can still shoot across the gap to kill the forge and protoss can't do anything because their AI gets fucked up trying to cross the ditch
LARVA
>bisu maeks>larva doesn't>bisu winsit's.....that easy....GGs bros, nice games tonight
>>722072419>>722072449KYS
holy shit I can't believe bisu wonlarva choked hard
>larva tries to get fancy and takes four bases>bisu makes units insteadfour games in a row
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thank you Bisu for your xeno removal service.
>>722072568HOW DOES HE DO IT
ZVZ AVERTED
Bisu won cause Larva failed to make anything besides mass hydras, correct? He had shitload of bases and healthy drone count, right?
A TEAM > B TEAM
>>722072609>had shitload of bases and healthy drone countmeanwhile Bisu was pumping gateways on 2 bases
>>722072609larva is also really bad at moving his hydras out of storm.
told you about bisu bronextsnow > barrackssoma > bisusoma > snowsnow kills himself
Snow beats BarracksSoma beats BisuLet's go ZvP finals!!!
>>722072609The only game where he built defilers was the game that he won (on roaring currents but still)maek is good but he needs to learn to tech up
maek dragoon > maek zergling
>>722072419Protoss skill issue. Just build the wall further back and some scouts to pick off hydras on the sides.
>>722072609Bisu won because Larva didn't move his hydras when it was storming
thoughts?
>>722072735SvS or BvB
>>722072735Unless flash can teach barracks more tricks, snow will rape rax.Soma will beat bisu, although bisu could have a few good games if he gets his corsair game going.
>>722072735Thank god were avoiding mirrorsBarracks has zero chance vs Snow, if Soma gets through Bisu I see a reality where Snow would crumble in a vs Zerg final>>722072732
decent match today but heavily carried by that game 1
>>722072609Larva delayed lurker tech, Bisu found out about delayed lurkers possibly being delayed and made a timing attack.
>>722072791>Soma will beat bisuWhy everyone assuming this? He did nothing special yesterday he was just up against someone performing especially bad
Ensnare would have saved these follow up games
>>722072889I would give it 3-4 to soma. Maybe bisu gets a free game with unnoticed DTs, or maybe soma is not in top shape, I can see an upset. But it doesnt matter, whomever makes it out, gets raped by snow in the finals.
It's Snow's tournament to lose. Soma might have a slight chance but even that is pretty slim.Barracks... bless his heart but it's gonna be a massacre. 4 - 0 wouldn't surprise me
bisu has beaten soma 2 years ago. Bisubros, we're going to the finals
>>722072791>flashreal mastermind forgotten once again...
>>722072735Really nice RO4. Either we get a first-time champion or we get a washed up old guy regaining his former glory. Personally I'm rooting for the latter.IMO Soma is most likely to win. I'd prefer if zerg didn't win again, but as far as zerg goes Soma is the best possible champion; he's been a top player for a while, he's the only good player who was never a pro and he's been the one coming up with new strats to develop the metagame.Snow is also very strong and has been good for a long time. I'd say he's only slightly disadvantaged vs Soma.Barracks is definitely an underdog but he still has a chance. He will need to gamble with gimmicky builds and get good luck.
>>722072735I hope barracks wins but short of doing some stinky cheddar cheese, I doubt he can pull it off. That said he IS in the semifinals so he's got potential.I....guess I want bisu to win, I do like him but it feels like he's so much worse than he used to be, all things considered he actually played really bad this series, it's just that larva played worse. But that's the state of the game in 2025, everyone is shit so bisu might beat soma. If snow beats barracks he'll probably beat whoever he faces in the finals. If barracks somehow makes it, I think he'll choke and it'll be bisu or soma winning.
imagine all the old hags, horny from their childhood crush bisu winning,fuck their husbands and singlehandedly push up koreas fertility up by 0.1
>>722072939ensnare is just ridiculously strong and even makes cloaked units visible, i don't understand why not more of them use it, it's not that huge of an investment
>>722073868it's too expensive to get a queens nest while you are teching up to hiveoh wait...
>>722072735Barracks looks out of place. Soma, Snow and Bisu are all players I'd be happy to see take the championship, but I really hope Snow's the one who wins. Barracks champion would be a fucking hilarious upset though.If I'm being objective I think Snow's going to destroy Barracks, Soma's going to get crushed by Bisu and then Snow is going to 4-0 Bisu in the finals. I like Soma but he usually dies before this point because he's too sloppy against top-5 players and others with good execution like Bisu.
>>722073945it's additional 200 gas to save up while you really should be teching to defilers instead
>>722073848kinda based
>>722073868ensnare is incredible against marines. and against wraiths.
>>722073764>If barracks somehow makes itLmao
Hi guys, im from the future, here's the ending of the finals.
>>722074756>barracks can't make it into asl this season he's a complete newbie>bro barracks will get knocked out in the ro16 he's shit>ain't no way barracks makes it through the ro8 his competition is too good---YOU ARE HERE--->holy shit bros barracks just 4-2'd snow of all people, all that training is paying off>BARRACKSBROS WE ARE IN IT, NEVER DOUBT THE TRUE CHAMPION
>>722074843TvP is by far Barracks' worst matchup and Snow's a micro nerd like him. There's no way he wins.
>>722075053Damn I never knew BarrackS was that strong vs Zerg.
>>722075053>TvP is by far Barracks' worst matchup And by far Snow's bestNo amount of meme magic will change the he inevitable. Barracks fans should consider it a win if he manages to take 1 game from SnOw.
Barracks destiny is to keep Snow sufficiently distracted practicing pvt while Soma keeps commiting %100 to ZvP practice so he can crush Snow in the finals
>>722072889feel like soma is the obly zerg who actually defended against best DTs. its best signature and he fluke too many wins from that
>>722072889he was just containing his power level. he wants to beat best and bisu without revealing his builds.
>>722075572Gigabased.
schizo thread.
As long as Zerg loses, I will accept any result.
>>722066629girls are watching this?
>>722084098yeah, me
