Competitive StarCraft: Brood War happening in 10 mins: Day 2 of the semifinals of Afreeca Starleague (ASL) Season 21!Here it is, the two best TvTers in the modern era face off in a best of 7:Light (T) vs Flash (T)Korean livestream: https://play.sooplive.com/afstar1English livestream: https://play.sooplive.com/dth03119Liquipedia page:https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/ASL/21
Who will YOU root for?
I can't believe I'm waking up early to torture myself with 3 hours of TvT
>>738714441flash
>>738714464>3 hoursAnon it's a bo7
time for 7 hours of flash
>>738714513yeah its a 4-0 for flash
>>7387144643 hours of the highest IQ mirror match in the RTS genre!
Hoping for a break from non-stop bonebreaking rape we witnessed so far this ro8. Light please don't just job 0-4
>>738714441Rooting for Light but I know for a fact Flash is going to win 4-1
>t-t-terranny i'll let you win because i don't want to g-get buck broken by gigachad >NO i'll let YOU w-win terranny>NOOOOOOOOOO
for the sake of making the grand finals more epic I will root for flash this time but only so that he gets curbstomped by soma afterwards
you just know the organizers have slid a fat check for light to throw the match so the finals generate more buzz and sells more tickets
isnt it great we get to see flash still playing in the year 2026, from gom tv to today, still going.
lets hope this isn't as embarrassing as flash vs fantasy (2012 osl) or flash vs last (asl1)
How do people remember how matches from 14 years ago went
reminder flash is a certified crypto scammer
I feel so bad for everyone involved in the event working today having to stay for hours of overtime
shoulder status?
>>738714818SHOULDER STATUS: COVERED
>>738714834it's see through fabric though
>>738714834Reached unc-simida status.
>>738714464Couldn't be me, instead I'll be staying up until 2am
it's amazing how flash has retired eight times due to wrist problems and yet always manages to come backtruly the best player of all time! wow!!!!!!
RAPE THE WALLFILL THE WHOREFUCK LIKE NEVER BEFORENO RETREATNO CONTROLWE ARE SEMEN IN THE HOLERAPE THE WALL
>>738714863she usually fully lets those dogs out for Flash days, not a good sign for him today
>>738714834ahjumma..
>>738714834ever since she got married and gave birth she no longer shows her shoulders...
lightbros... I dont feel so good
>>738714971light has wife and kids, he doesn't care about this, he's already seeded both in the game and outside.
I think it will be a shame if Light wins because let's be honest he is not champion material.There are great great players who never win a starleague because it's just not in them. On the other hand there are some less than great players who manage to win because they have it in them to win a finals.It's better to have a finals where both players have that winner aura than a finals where you just know one guy will not win even if he puts up great games.
>>738714971that's just predictions from clueless retards, it's skewed towards the more famous player regardless of actual chances
>>738714971I believe in Light
>>738714441I'm rooting for Light.
Flash is still the best, even with all his injuries
>>738715108light literally already won asl wtf u talkinbout, in the ro4 only leta isn't a champ
the moment caster park retires is the moment starcraft dies
I like this announcer dude, he's got spunk
>>738715108Light already won an ASL and KSL but yeahIt would make a better story for Flash to lose to Soma in his final game, passing the torch from the old god to the new one.
>all the empty chairs in the crowdyikes. imagine how empty they will be by the third or fourth game
>>738715198What are you talking about? Flash has a fucking cult of devotees who genuinely expect him to be around for another decade at least. There's no way he's ever going to lose when he can continue to win every tournament he participates in and use that clout to rugpull more people on cryptocoins
>instrumental versionI guess the Europe-centric lyrics would be a bit weirdhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByxuBE6_D3k
>80.6% WR vs TWhat the fuck...
>>738715259The walls are closing in now, he's in big trouble when everyone finds out he faked his wrist surgeries and bribed the judge when he sued the cryptoscammer
Light should just prolong the games as long as possible to make Flash's wrists explode
It's over...
>>738714592This is the blueprint, everyone.
Flash looks fucking awful
>>738715401Individual supply advantage is only a big deal in PvZ because Zerg should never ever have more supply than Protoss.
>baited light into scouting raxx proxyhe won the mind game
>>738715451Nah its over
>light fucking up his maynard by 10 secondsYeah this shit is over already
SCV ACK
TOTAL SCB DEATH
>it's the maek vulture game
oh n-
holy FUCK how many SCVs died there?
>>738715584?
MAEK GOLIATH
GOLIATH ONLINE
what the fuck am I watching
Flash really likes goliaths
>mass golith beats tank vulture>light even leaned in just to check he wasn't dreamingwhat the fuck
Fucking IMMACULATE micro from Light
he scans the mines even before they drop, truly the best.
>>738714426I miss Tastosis commentary. Not only did they know the game extremely well, Artosis could almost always predict what the player was trying to do and tell the audience that and he was almost always correct on builds orders etc...They also got really hype, these new commentators are boring.
waitwhy build goliaths if you're not expecting incoming wraiths?are they strong against vultures?
this will not be a 4 hour set lol, what did the commentators smoke
That goliath micro is beautifultosstards could never do the same with goons
okay the goliath thing is cool and all but how are you winning vs siege?
>>738715682Light's factories are damned delayed because his rax was killed. We'll hve to see how that impacts his army 5 mins later.
>>738715682By switching into lockdown ghosts?
so whats his plan vs siege?
>>738715682just maek moar :^)
>>738715682thats the funny thinglight just conveniently forgot to get the upgrade which would have let him win
WHAT THE FUCK
>>738715682you were saying?
WHAAAAAAAAT
>>738715682Like that
insanely one sided
>>738715745>>738715682A-move LOL
gee geeeeeeeeeee
Just walked over him.
what the FUCK am I watchingsince when was goliaths+tanks a TvT strat, am I really that behind the meta?
>>738715682Never count on anyone to make intelligent plays against Flash, even if it's as braindead as maek taenk
somawinslol is not an esport
>>738715765okay bro but like how thoughI mean even light doesn't know, how the fuck am I supposed to know
am I the only one who cant stand these godawful AI-generated songs?
this nigga flash is built different, the fuck just happened. when light leaned in i knew even siege wouldn't have saved him. light shouldn't have lost that rax it was really bad.and he shouldn't have played mines, it was neutered by mass goliths.he made lotsa misplays imo but what the fuck just happened
flash invented the terran race, how can you beat his creation?
Its like A rank versus S+ rank they are both good but
Finally, after 10000 tries, flash won a tournament game with the goliath meme build. He just needed to get a big advantage with his vulture attack before building the first goliath.
>>738715792Flash popularized this style recently
>>738715667Join us on the Korean stream, embrace the enthusiasm of their cast (and the AI slop subtitles)
>>738715854And Light didn't know? The fuck?
>>738715792The bombshell is that Terrannies are now imitating Zerg Chads: 1-1-1 = Savior tech leapfrogging (muta into lurker into hive), 2 port wraith = muta openings, mass goyliath = mass hydra, etc. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
>>738715678no the goliaths just have hitscan attacks whereas goons shoot slow projectiles
how do you mentally recover from that?
>>738715891Yes, they literally cannot do the same.
>>738715813His tanks count arent great, he also only had 3 fact against flash's 5 fact
did I hallucinate or did they just show the leta v soma graphic by mistake
>>738715897Center 8 rax
>>738715983I caught it too
>>738715874it's an all-in and considered to be a meme build to clown on ladder trash with
>>738715813light was pretty fucked from flash maeking more vultures and killing 10 scvs at his naturalif that hadn't happened, light would've had a much stronger army and would have steamrolled
>>738715983no, it was as real as that helicopter above your house monitoring you
old hag
>>738715934what are you smoking? Light had at least 7-8 tanks at the end fight (with seige mode) minus the 3-4 he lost until then. Flash had 2 tanks in the end fight, that's it. Rest was goliaths.
aychee
Light takes at least one game
>>738716115please no, I wanna go to bed asap
>>738716157how much are they getting paid to sit there?
>>738716157how can the bitch on the left be so young but have massive bags under her eyes
>>738716137g1 literally ended under what 15 mins?light is going cc first too he might get clobbered by this greed
>>738716216It's makeup loleyebags are big over there
>starport:D
LO L
LMAO 2PORT!2PORT!
>proxy 2 portok what in the flying fuck is flash cooking
DEBAEK
KEK
2PORT LMAO
could've gotten both tanks
flash doing anything but standard so far
kek light is making some hilarious faces
>>738716351See: >>738715876
>light loses rax agiancan he stop this. he can't make factories
Leta casually redefined TvT meta
excuse me light but can you please stop being retarded?
its joever...
>scan into walk 20 supply into a fully sieged tank lineYOU KNOWIT GETS TIRING BEING SO FUCKING RIGHT
7 hours? 3 hours??
ok wtf just happened
ZIPPED
*unzips*
Yep, it's a Flash game alright
>>738716505Terrannies and Tossers do this a lot.
flash's tvts are like zvzs
>mass goliath>proxy starportsso he's tilted now, right?
probably the most predictable semifinals since remastered came out
>losing when you went CC firstHOW THE FUCK DID LIGHT PREPARE FOR THIS SERIES, THAT IT'D BE NORMAL BUILD ORDERS ALL THE TIME??FlaSh is known to fuck every single T in a TvT matchup with unorthodox builds SINCE TIME IMMEMORIAL, expect the unexpected man.AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR RAX LIGHT WHAT HTE FUCK
>>738716539I genuinely have to give it to lightif there was any doubt about the fix, it's getting harder and harder to deny it
is sc2 dead?
>>738716628'fraid so
it's really jarring to see light lose to the very gameplay he lost to in previous ASL TvTs years back. Hit fast and he gets thrown off balance. That's how RoyaL beat him before.
Bros what the fuck is going on? Since when is TvT so entertaining? It's been the best matchup all tournament
>>738716678Always been.
>>738716678it helps when the games dont drag
>>738716628I tried watching a couple matches but it seems somehow soulless. Both players have massive doomstacks they run into each other around 8th min and whoever loses GGs after the fight.
4 hours btw
>>738716574>>738716592You guys don't understand. Terrannies and Tossers drink their own koolaid and actually believe that they're magically good at the game due to roughly half of their wins against Zergs being automatic on account of the racial advantage. For this reason, TvP, TvT, and PvP are always retarded.
anyone remembers flash's random run when he played vs snow and rush?he came with different builds for each map and he did not waver. I still remember those kamikaze shuttle's with reavers and storms vs rush. he went in there with those shuttles to do as much damage as possible and didn't care about anything else.that's how you fucking play a BO. you do what you set yourself to do and nothing else matters.watch tulbo talk about his games.
>>738716678Almost like its the players and not the races
light stop making marines. make facts. :<
someone's asking to get mine DEABAKd
I don't get it man, I just don't
ffs Light stop jobbing
it's over
these games are utter dogshit to watchat least leta v soma was entertaining
light, make a wraith to break the line why lift your port :(
damn early night i guess.
Divide the map time zzz
>>738716953Yep, it's kino time.
>>738716956Don't worry, Light will move forward into the sieged tank line for no reason momentarily
3PORT
>3-PORTSWHAT IS FLASH COOKING
Nice supply block
sky terran? wtf flash
>>738716942nah this curbstomp is fun to watch, unlike the RO8 ones
HERO SCV
THIS IS NOT A DRILL COVERT OPS AT FLASH'S SCIENCE FACILITY IS not BEING CONSTRUCTED
Wraith ground damage is so embarassing
VALKS OUT
>>738717103pew pew lol
Stomps are boring
bruh
It's amazing what a noob Light looks like compared to Flash
DAMN
flash doing all these meme builds but producing so many more units he wins regardless
Leta only lost because he only made 2 port when he could have been making 4 port
i honestly dont know what light did wrong there unlike in the first two games. he like, made more marines that he shouldn't have and, that's like 100 minerals only.is that enough to get that fucking behind
Kino Wraith + Valks air battle>>738717128pew pew indeed
Light is getting payback for mocking Tulbo
1 hr has passed
>>738717251I think the problem started when Light failed to kill Flash's SCVs
>>738716678TvT is very boring when it's two bad players against each other, but it's my favourite mirror match when between two good pros.
>>738717251turns out scanning an enemy tank line that is on high ground, then choosing that moment to sacrifice 30 supply into it to kill 2 tanks?not the smartest decision and yet it keeps happening
>uncs unironically expected 40 minute long borefestsit's a 2026 TvT
imagine the orgasm artosis is gonna have seeing his crush dominate like this
>>738717251He lost the high ground and got contained
>>738717264Deserved tbqh Ma boi tulbo was just nervous
you fuckers doubted me last week, dont let the proleague stats or whatever fool you, flash rapes everyone in tvt right now>>738717251in tvt? yes absolutely
>>738716942>at least leta v soma was entertainingto each their ownI did not enjoy it much
>>738717251His barracks was also stranded on Flash's side of the map so no flying vision of Flash's tank line
>>738717351they were very low quality games but you could shitpost about leta being a dumb retardthese games are just everything i expected and its not entertaining
>>738717301>>738717310>>738717337but he had 3 bases running, he could've broken through that. maybe lifting the starport was also bad, lost so much time just to make wraiths to break the contain.containing a 3 base terran is pretty hard and the base isn't that near either.I guess mismicroing and getting contained for that prolonged period also hurt his chances that much.
>>738717264kek yeah that vid was brutalbut mini was even more hostile towards tulbo than light tbqh
>>738717346nah, flash just won three coinflips.
>>738717356>His barracks was also stranded on Flash's side of the map so no flying vision of Flash's tank lineWait are you sure? I thought he left it near his base, near the 3rd base? I didn't notice that.>tfw he mismicroed his rax againFuck
>flash winrate vs Z: 68.3%
dont forget to redeem the google play codes to win epic prizes like a gaming mouse with rgb lights!
>>738717445Sorry but Logitech mogs Razer since Superlight came out
I can't wait for the grand finals. finally two top level players that are evenly matched
Light should just go balls deep with some creative meme build instead of trying to play safe meta.Flash is an artist who does not care what the WR of his build is whilst Light is a machine who takes safety in laws of meta.
>>738717438There's a 0% chance Soma wins against him in the finals. I won't even be watching them.
>>738717438It's 59% without the two third place matches.
>>738717438Soma's the one who knocked him out during the random run. Soma also won against Flash random T then.
>>738717513Soma eliminated the Terranny in ASL10. This was back when Soma was worse, the Terranny was better, and the Terranny was cheating by playing random. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
just got here who won
reminder no games next week and the finals are sunday
>>738717624>1w4dwtf korea?
>>738717610Flash has the advantage but his wrist is hurting and Light is about to start his comeback
>>738717610first game just ended, epic cruiser battles.
>they're doing all the promo segments now just in casekek
>>738717513>>738717579Which, by the way, was his third elimination by a Zerg Chad, the previous two being by Effort and Zero, which prompted his "retirement".
>>738717665typical during a stomp
>Razer as sponsor>yet the players decided to use honeycomb mouseAny notable players with Razer stuff?
>nazi mapbroodwar map makers are based
How is Flash gonna cuck Light's rax this game?I'm thinking Wraiths
What killed Flash's rando run? Was it possible for him to win it?
Reminder Light won at life. Meanwhile flash is a forever alone loser with a fucked up wristhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubI5_kzr2XQ
Hey, there's a Danish gaijin>>738717741Ackhsually...nahh i'm too lazy to type
kek
>cc first flashlike he never left
flash doing 14cc for the memes
How do Flash know that it is a cross spawn?
>>738717791His biggest weakness was that he sucks at ZvZ compared to real Zerg players. Having a high level Zerg player as one of his last opponents really fucked him.
>>738717791soma was just better. even if flash rolled terran every time he probably would have lost.
>>738717791zvzs
I can't watch live, how rigged is it this time?
>>738717852he has a vibrating dildo in his ass and someone in the audience is sending him signals. thats why he keeps unzipping himself and going to the bathroom inbetween games
>>738717852Fifty-fifty, either it is or it isn't
>cc first light>gets disrupted and wrecked>flash cc firstwe'll have to see how light reacts
>>738717852he knew by knowing
>>738717947its over
lmao
TANK ACK
should've made the cc in his base
CAM ON LIGHTER
ok 1-3
maek vuldure
>>738718113Vroom vroom :DDD
>flash still roflstomping everyonethis league has like 2 seasons left
ok how is flash still in supply lead what the fuck
Random mines are scary
Tell Mr Flash that I want to see Light punished as a boy
4-0NO DIFF'D
it's so over
>getting valks just to shit on dropslmao
HOYL MINES
Is there a match for 3rd place before the 24th? this long break is ass
BALKEELEEEEEEEEEEE
gg ez
bgno re

MINEMINEMINEMINE AHHHHH JEEJEEEEEEEEEE
gee geeeeeeeeeeeeeflash still flash
I sleep
set could've gone either way tbqh
FOUR NIL HOLY SHIT
1hr30min
Why am I still here? Just to suffer?
How did Leta, Light, and Tulbo get this far despite being this bad? Racial advantage.
>>738718079well fuck me.Good series...I look forward to Soma vs Flash, shit I'm excited for the ASL finals again yay.
Only about an hour of games. I feel a bit cheated
for some reason I expected a much closer series, especially since light talked all that shit on tulbohe looked exactly how tulbo looked in his series vs leta
lol the look on light's face
did Flash play great? yes but let's not pretend Light's play wasn't subpar
they didn't even look like the same tier
>>738718446How dare you call Light bad. He literally was the lone Terran hope when FlaSh went away.
I now fully believe Flash will make soma his fleshlight
>newfags thought this would take 30 mins+ each game like with the other bumsdo you even flash?
Flash literally gives Light all of his builds, of course he smoked him. SHIT semifinals match, at least the finals might be good.
>>738718529I said this in the previous thread
just woke upi told you both ro4 was not worth watchingIMAGINE wasting your time watching the obvious
well, thoughts?
Huh, FlaSh looks thinner than before.
>>738718504*blocks your path*
>>738718584soma starts 2-0 before the script kicks in and soma forgets how to play the gameflash ends up winning 4-3 wow return of the bonjwaaaa!!!!!!! his final series until he comes back out of retirement in 18 more months, conveniently enough time for him to find another scam to rope people into and then forget about before he returns to the scene
>>738718584Soma 4-3. Effort did it before. Soma can do it too, he also has champion buff while Flash has arm debuff.
>>738718584SOMA'S QUEENS VS FLASH'S GOLIATHSKINOOOOOOOO
>>7387185844-2 Flash
>>7387185844-3 soma only because flash's arm will explode and won't be able to play
>>738718584soma wins, either 4-0 or 4-3
>>738718501See ASL10 for an estimation of the upcoming final.
>peak kino group stage>abysmal dogshit playoffsevery time
Remember, finals are 2 weeks from now on SUNDAYdon't miss it because you assume its monday
>>738718584I don't know, soma was super impressive and Flash is Flash. Hard call. I'd be fine with either winning though but whatever happens I want a full set, no stomps. Long macro games.
>>738718584Flash will win because this shit's rigged as fuck.
>>738718759Not rigged, terran players are simply superior.
>>738718735May 24th, 2 PM KST (different time as well)
light will go home to the embrace of his wife and daughter, flash will arrive to an empty apartment while his wrist burns for the rest of the day
>>738718584flash and soma are practice partners, theres a reason flash said in his post-win interview vs snow that snow was the player he was most concerned with followed by light and then soma. flash 4:2
>>738716628I think Tasteless has been keeping it just barely alive with his Revival series.
>lose to zerg chad effort in asl6>"muh wrists">come back in asl9 >lost to zerg chad zero (1-4, mind you)>OH NO NO NO NO NO NO>they straight up let you cheat in asl10 and play random>sill lost to zerg chad SOMA>"muuuuuuuh wriiiiiists">get so buttmad that you retire>duck zerg chad soulkey >zerg chad soulkey declines>come out of retroonment the next season>it's zerg gigachad soma againHe's dilating already.
