Grand finals of Afreeca Starleague (ASL) Season 21 happening in 20 minutes.This is it folks, the pinnacle of competitive StarCraft: Brood War. Who will win?soma (Park Sang Hyun) - Currently the reigning champion, winner of last season and a favorite to win this season as well. By far the strongest Zerg in the past year or so.-----VERSUS-----Flash (Lee Young Ho) - Regarded by many as the best player of all time, he has returned from a prolonged hiatus and break. Will he live up to his past and claim the championship, or has peace made him weaker?Korean livestream: https://play.sooplive.com/afstar1English livestream: https://play.sooplive.com/dth03119Liquipedia page:https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/ASL/21
Based, I was just thinking about making the thread. Cheering for Soma to MAEK.
Made the thread a bit earlier than usual since I'm certain there will be some anons who are not aware that this is happening at 2 p.m. Korean Time instead of the usual time.
TvZ is by far my favourite matchup to spectate in the entire game, so this should be good.>>739473719>Cheering for Soma to MAEK.Maek what anon? You gotta be more specific!
okayge
>>739473675just post artosis raging. thats the best SC content we have left
RAPE THE WALLFILL THE WHOREFUCK LIKE NEVER BEFORENO RETREATNO CONTROLWE ARE SEMEN IN THE HOLERAPE THE WALL
Flash must lose. He is old and busted.
>>739473675man, weird ass time man. I almost thought Liquidpedia was buggin' out.
>>739473728Yep much thanks anon
>>739473719option 1: >Soma crushes Flash That means Zerg continue their 5 season streak of winning ASL and the attempts to stem their dominance have failed. Option 2:>Flash winsFlash wins... yet again. But this means Flash is the undisputed top player in ASL history if not all of SC:BW competitive scene. Kind of boring to have a single king, right?
Gookclick is not a sport.
>>739474038>Kind of boring to have a single king, right?Isn't it his final season?
>>739473942Flying shrimp are supposedly "small" creatures for gameplay and lore reasons. They look like giant dragons though. Their icon in the game is their asshole for some reason rather than their actual faces.
>>739473989I'm glad it's early, it means I can have a drink while watching.
>>739474069Up to him. He mentioned going Random again if he wins, can't do that if you retire.
>>739474105Alcoholism si something you can get treatment for anon. It's never too late. Look at Andy Dick, who is now 120 days sober. He was one of the worst alcoholics I've ever seen. He went from "Gardening to Maurice" to a street bum.
>>739474149Sounds like some fag shit, I'll keep destroying my liver thanks
LETS FUCKING GO
>>739474135>>739474069His position has been steady: He's functionally "retired" and that is his default, unless he feels in good enough physical shape to tackle another competitive series.
First for Lee Hyun Kyung's fertile womb, that is saving the Korean population crisis one baby at a time.
Fuck the crypto scammer. Soma all the way

SHOULDER STATUS?
Stream is up
>>739474271Fagtosis ran off to Prince Edward Island (making him a {{{Canadian}}}) to play daddy rather than keep on top of the Korean BW scene. PEI is the home of fucking potatoes and retirement communities. Man was on a leash and should have told his wife to buzz off, we're raising the kids in KOREA the greatest nation on earth.
WTF... WHY IS THE FINAL THIS HOUR???
>>739474345fucking off from Korea is probably the only smart thing he did his entire life
>flash loses>hurr durr its cus his wrist
I almost fell asleep
>>739474345His son would unironically be the KING in Korea. Literal Pewd's son tier
>>739474345He literally didn't have a job there anymore lol, what was he supposed to do? It just makes sense that he chose to relocate back to NA and focus on building his streaming and YT audience here. Like look how sad it is for Tasteless still desperately trying to keep SC2 relevant so he has some kind of job there.
>>739474345>KOREA the greatest nation on earthSECOND greatestYou're forgetting their glorious comrades to the north.
whatever the result, please don't run for more than a couple hours, I would like to go to bed today
wasn't /vg/ created literally to contain /scv/
>>739474408>soma loses>hurr durr tesagi
They look like they could be brothers.
Soma is the better player but this map pool is about as close as you can get to rigging it for Flash to win without actually rigging it. Absolute fucking tesagi
I missed the last two live shows. Snow played very well but fumbled it at the last second, but Light was utterly crushed. Why does Artosis hold him to such high regard?
>starcrap
I was literally 10 minutes away from going to bed, welp here we go again, just like the old Pro League times back in '10.
1 - Soma2 - Flash3 - Flash4 - Soma5 - Flash6 - Soma7 - Soma
>>739474538das raciss
zergsissy is about to get raped
Unzipped and ready.
>>739474541They weren't thinking of Flash, they were thinking of nerfing the Zergs. It just so happens Soma and Flash are top tier and have gotten to this point.
>>739474548because he's still the best terran when flash isnt around
>>739474548Light is incredibly good, it's just that he is one of Flash's closest training partners so of course he knew how to disassemble him. Flash literally gives Light all his builds.
If flash is championship form he wins if he isnt he loses. Its as simple as that. Soma's future is in Gods hand.
>>739474408>wristit's the entire fucking arm
I miss Nyoken, these new english casters are unwatchable. Ima go with the korean stream
>>739474548The thing is Light actually played pretty well. But Flash is literally the guy who invented modern TvT and demolished that nigga on molecular level.
>>739474629Shit looks painful.My thumb is also slightly fucked up from years of mashing the face buttons on my controllers/handhelds. Not too bad and in no need of any surgery but it does hurt in very long play sessions.
this nigga is going to get BTFO>>>/vst/2378281
>>739474658Correct. Saiyan is some bald bearded Nu-Male, and was so scared of any association with Rapid he made a video denouncing him. What a fruit. Literal 90 IQ as well.
What a wierd time for Korea's superbowl be at this time slot. I rather wake up early than be this sleepy.
>>739474702It's sunday, so my guess is that they want more people to come out and watch it, rather than having to stay up late to watch it since they have work tomorrow.
Soma and Flash are training partners. Flash will cook up something that exploits this. Meanwhile Soma will be trying builds given to him by fucking that fucking loser Calm
>>739474658We should have had moletrap and diggity restreaming and commentating this at 360p quality.
>>739474695>Rapidliterally who
>>739474741>Flash will cook up something that exploits this
My wife is so cute
Everyone is so fucking old and fat. What will the starcraft scene look like in 10 years?
>>739474589this they have been trying to make anti-zerg maps since like asl 19 but they find a way to adapt still
>>739474818Soop is investing in uni teams and girls specifically for this reason. They want girls to be cutie-pie streamers on Soop, and the boys to grow up to be competitors.
BARE SHOULDERS!!!!!!!!!!!
Kino
what went wrong?
>>739474818Flash's brain preserved in a jar playing vs cyborg Jaedong with augmented wrists.
>>739474818expect a lot more gray hair
Oh shit, they actually paid for a nice venue, in some kind of conference hall and it's nearly packed.
SHOULDERS STATUS: DELICIOUS
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

>>739474890What's the deal with these guys? Cyborgs? Robots? I don't know the lore at all.
jesus christ they're so fucking plastic
They couldnt even get a fucking airbus riding in Entrance with Flash walking up to the stage? Where has the production value gone?
>>739474883He didn't give his Best™?:^)
>>739474957Lore says they're robots and I presume that they just have a human face to better interact with people.
imagine the seething if a zerg wins the 6th asl in a row
>>739474924>>739474925>>739474938
kim jong un would bootyblast any of these shit players
lol
No way flash loses this right? Im all in dude
>>739474965Korean SC:BW is literaly 10% as big as it was at it's height. Be thankful for anything at this point. >>739475006Based Zerg. Tore though the opponents, even with rigged maps. Tesagi? Zeragi instead!
Fucking LMAO
OOF
Somabros... I don't feel so good
>>739475013he forgot to register for this seasoni think he got the date wrong
>>739475026Soma has been shitting on Terrans all year, he'll kill Flash with ease
>>739474818Lee Old Ho
27% thinks soma wins
It's time
PLEASE REDEEM THE CODE!!
Oh we're back to using metal-rock music instead of the fruity pop they've been using lately?
This stage remind me of Evo's pool stage... not looking hopeful for the future
>>739475052too busy with his harem
Damn that's a good turnout
>>739475124if you look close you will notice they copy pasted the same person over and over
Haven't watched ASL in a long while, explain why is Z so strong now please.
If flash loses this broodwar's balance is truly fuck and zerg needs some fucking nerfs
whoever wins the first game has insane odds of winning it btw
flash and soma are practice partners, flash has more of a range of unpredictable play and he knows soma's style inside and out. soma will get spanked
>>739475128Flash is actually socially conservative even by Korean standards, and was hyping up the People's Party before going for service. The same party as the President who tried to hijack things lol. A big culture shock for westerners is how conservative foreigners are in general, especially Africans and asians.
SSSHHHHH
>>739475160they invented sunken colonies and defilers
Ssshhhhhhh.....God it's so cheesy and cringe but also fun & kino
THE GOD OF STARCRAFT
>>739475164whoever wins 4 games first in this best of 7 has good odds of winning
GOD IS BACK
>>739475160Mutalisks fly and kill workersDefilers wiggle and make your army immortal and enemy army dead
>>739475160There's a clique of top tier players who are playing good builds. Soulkey used to be part of this gang, but he fell off and stopped practicing to earn more money in League of Legend since he still has mafia debts.Soma is in top form and tore through everyone to get here. Terrans have tried to counter with Valks and mech builds, but the Zergs have found out how to counter these quite well.
Caster Park hyping shit up like usual
soma already belly up
>>739475163They nerfed with maps, and by and large it was successful. Only Protoss players are mostly mid, and Soma and Flash are just that good to surpass it.
>>739475187>God it's so cheesy and cringe but also fun & kinoI really miss the pre 2011 internet. Irony hurt genuine expression so much.
>>739475160They finally made queens and perfected hydrabust timings
>>739475160It's only Soulkey (WASHED) and Soma.
>>739475170>the President who tried to hijackKek I 'memberI wonder if Flash still supports that same party?
hype as fuck lol
>>739475037>>739475039>>739475045Gypsy is so confident Soma's gonna win, strange how all the korean pros seem to think different
>>739475160Probably anons can`t tell, perhaps only amateurs knowIt`s been months...
>>739475303gypsy was also wrong about flash having a hard time against light
>>739475303imagine taking the opinion of a filthy brown romani seriously
>>739475303Zerg is so optimized nowadays, and Soma is like the best Zerg
>>739475239AI real time subs are finally okay enough to just watch the Korean stream. English speakers are defiling the game of SC:BW. The Starcraft brand should be sold to Hanwha, and it made the national game of Korea.
does Flash even have a zipper today?!
DAHHHHH
>empty house championJESAS
qts spotted
how much did they pay soma to let flash win?
>>739475365God I keep forgetting about real-time translated subs, I've missed out on like all the interviews so far. Turning it on NOW.
>both players being cocky and shit talking the otherkino series incoming
>15k viewers on korean livestreamDidn't jaedong v bisu pull 40k at its peak?
>>739475427Arr rook the same
>>739475303He just wants to go against the flow of the Korean pros. honestly, no one really knows.
>>739475365Microsoft owns your culture, koreaboo
>>739475437You have to use your noggin' to complete the "puzzle" as this still isn't perfect. >>739475452Still early.
>>739475452Everyones at the stadium
>>739475452calm probably has another 15k restreaming it
>>739475479Can't believe how Blizzard became so fucking incompetenti'm glad they didn't pick Dota 2
God, Soma has tiny little asian eyes. Did Flash get surgery to reduce his epicanthic folds to look more European? His are much smaller.
In any case I'm sure it won't be a 4-0 wash.
>>739474038>Flash is the undisputed top player in ASL history if not all of SC:BW competitive scene. Kind of boring to have a single king, rightI don't understand why is this separate? He is and has always been the undisputed to player of both KeSPA and ASL era. And it is boring, it has always been when he's there.If he loses this, so what? at least someone else other than FlaSh wins.This could've been Snow's season for all we know if only FlaSh wasn't here.
>>739475452More than Aoe 2 + warcraft 3 + sc2 + chess combinedi don`t get soop i just got a different overlay
>>739473675Wow just tuned in and the finals venue is huge!
Hasnt Faker replace Flash being Korea's country hero already
>>739475525From what i read, Koreans eyelids could seriously harm their health and vision. The more European look was just a happy side effect
>flash loses>RIP ARM>flash wins>how bad is soma to lose against armless flashyou literally can't win KEK
>>739475564BW is the national sport of Korea
>FakerWho?
>>739475564>>739475564They've been here before, and I think they chose some kind of convention that is taking place at the same time. That's why a bunch of randoms are hanging around around the edges. Some of the COVID-era finals were sad and pathetic due to low attendance and shit.
what happens at 5 stars?
I can't see flash winning. He may have won a lot in the past but he's always been a choker when it really matters. Soma on the other hand has no pressure, he's at the peak of his career and has healthy wrists.I expect flash to try some elaborate gimmicky cheese, get countered, then get more and more desperate and self-destruct.
>66.7% winrateZerg has always been FlaSh's ""weakest"" matchup in terms of winrate huh.
>>739475610It was from 2005-2010, but it's been surpassed. Even League is bigger. Also of course, Baseball is a bigger deal. The SC:BW scene is a fraction of the size of its peak, but it's still big enough for major tournaments and streaming events.
>>739475531If flash showed up when Soulkey actually cared 2 seasons back we would have had a new bonjwa no question soulkey would have crush this terran level of play.
>>739475628we'll have to wait for Soulkey's comeback to find out
Reminder that the Terranny's TvZ is 59% without the two third place matches. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
>>739475628you get a golden wrist
this ai translator really fucks up korean names
ALL IN on Flashcoin
>Soma chose Jane DoeIsn't that the most terran map in the pool?
>>739475580Isn't Flash considered simply the best gamer (at his game) in history? they call him GOD...Anyways, here's hoping for a good finals.
I WANT A 4-3 SERIES LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
>>739475669Any terran stat is skewed by Flash involvement no cap. Look at the difference with him there and not. Its a losing record race
>>739475614The Unkillable Demon King
>>739474553>there will never be another cinematic like this
HERE WE GO FAGGITSCHEESE INCOMING
>terranny's hands shaking on the cuckbottle
>>739475698I see Soma got the nod
>>739475734>>739474553>ZergslopUltralisks arent' that big, and they don't crush tanks that easily.
>>739475698might have some cheese ready
Will we see goliaths?
>>739475707He was, until a better gamer replaced him.
>>739474553That scene has the steam controller drop scream
I read a post on tl.net that soma prepared unorthodox builds for this series, why is he playing straightforward on the cheesiest map
>>739475718None of these numbers mean anything. It's a super small sample size of games from 10 years agoIt's like looking at boxer's tournament results from 2002 and assuming he would still be good in 2012
>>739475795I would have advized Flash against mech or Goliath builds. Zerg knows how to counter them too easily. There's been more recent ones with Valks and other builds with Medic-Marine + Tank. Effectively the marines do the anti-air instead of the Goliaths, with a hybrid army.
>>739475838that's what he least expects
Cowardly Terran "expands" backwards again. Zerg would never.
>>739475795>>739475852Flash has been crushing with Goliath heavy builds though, I expect to see them here
>>739475862true, he should attack with all his scvs at the start of the game like a real man
>yeah i lost doing mech vs jaedong so let me do mech vs the modern jaedong??
>Red vs blue color schemeAbsoulte soulless man i miss the variety in colors. Just change that shit when its orange vs brown mirror match
uh oh he's going goliaths again
>>739475895>people believe terrannies were ever good at the game and not retards carried by race
i'm 7:42am and I woke up to watch flash
Flash REALLY likes goliaths
>>739475895He hasn't lost the vulture yet, which was the key difference compared to the JD match.
>build a sunken colony>Terran can't scout or harass youWhoa holy shit what an amazing discovery
>MAEK GOLITHvs>MAEK MUTLISK
>>739475887scv floating got banned for being too op
maek goliath
oh fuck that was a VERY early goliath range upgrade
>>739475958i didn't say to do that like a cowardare you a coward?worker battle in the middle of the map at the start is the only honorable thing to do
idk how to read this game, soma is just letting flash do what he wants but then soma knows what flash will do so he should be ready.
Mutalisk need to cost 125/125 or change its armor class. Change my mind
i have never played sc
goliatchman
Bruh
>build turret with legs>counters mutawaow
Gg ez
If flash had arms this would be m&m...
damn look at them all
Soma you asshole, you had mooore
>>739476076he's totally fine, he's winning actually at the moment
dude wtf I've never seen goliaths bully mutas+sunkens at the entrance of the natural like that
zerg.. op??
Flash won't scout, and he'll LOSE
Goliath Ape
MAEK goliath vs MAEK muta....
Queens when?
dedicated anti-air unit vs multi-purpose air unitmuta wins
>>739476090>bullythey all died kek. desperate failed cheese by an inferior player
See? Waaaay more economic damage being inflicted by Soma. Mutas OP as fuck
>>739476126IIRC ensnare barely affects goliath firing rate, there are some units that it does nearly nothing againstIt might only be goliath v ground though, fuck if I remember how it works on their missiles
Total scb death
Is it just me or Soma is very slow today. During Jaedong's game JD was already gearing towards queens at this point while doing relentless pressure, no?I feel like Soma just let FlaSh do what he wants.
rip scvs
>goliaths vs hydraliskskino
i love flash holy shit i'm so glad to see him play one last asl
um this wasn't supposed to happen
jesus christ how the fuck does he pump so many goliaths
TOTAL MUTA DEATH
goliath... op?
>make goliath>amove them at the zergwtf how is it this fucking easy
Somabros don't worry, he's setting up the reverse sweep
>Soma: Mom can we have Goliaths?>Mom: We have Goliaths at home>Goliaths at home:
4-0 INC
Chances of mech 7 games in a row?
oh fuck that was a great first game
>>739475926easier on the wrists. Oh man, Soma needed more sunkens. Sunkens wreck goliaths. But he couldn't be sure if he'd attack the natural or the exposed 6 o clock base. I can understand not going all in on sunkens which might not be of any use as Flash would attack the weaker base.
>didn't swap to lurkersdeserved loss
I'm so used to goliaths disappointing against zerg. I guess it's that flash macro.
Outmaek'd
>>739476182Flash got the free third base this game thoughThat's a big part of why Jane Doe is so hard for zerg
>>739476254They fire up and down, genious
So that's how that build would've worked vs JD.I just...don't understand what Soma was thinking? He was too slow in his transition and I think he want too quickly with a 4th base instead of getting ready for the timing attack, or if that even was a timing attack. He managed to repel the first FlaSh attack but then he just stuck with Mutas, yet he didn't even overmake them, he just, made like 1 and a half control group and slowly, very slowly transitioned to hydras.I'm confused.
APOLOGIZE
So he didn't make science vessels because... they are too good at splitting mutas now? I'm stuck with the old strats kek
>>739476005Maybe in fact nerf Mutas like vultures? Mutalisks need an upgrade to make them like default.
goliath, online
>>739476307I KNEEL
Why didnt soma copy jaedong and hit flash with Hydra switch timing bust?
>>739476326Vessels would have been made in the same timing as Defilers. Since Soma was behind the Vessels would most likely arrive as the wigglies hatch which = insta irradiate.You can't afford to be too behind vs Terran else it'll all fall in place for T.
>>739476290>Jane Doe is so hard for zergI didn't believe you until I checked on lliquipedia and wow, you're right, Terran actually has a better win rate on this map vs Zerg. 60.2%
>>739476307>>739476330ZAMN Goliaths look like that??!!!
>get a lucky guess and blind counter your opponent's air build with your goliaths>nearly get overrun anyway, only barely manage to winnot looking good
>>739476307APOROGIZE
>>739476326vessels would mean less goliaths
>>739476326Goliath is older than sk terran
>>739476307YOU SUCK. Flash would have busted the natural the first time around with Medic-Marine with stim and range. Did you know Goliaths, despite being the "anti-air" unit do only 10 damage to Mutalisks so you need to amass them like god damn Hydralisks?
Soma. Picked. Jane. Doe.What???
>>739476376it's not a hard counter
>>739476376flash will be lucky to catch soma making mutas again
>>739476384
>>739476376mmmm yes, delicious cope
>>739476405Marine medic would have died against muta
>>739476347cant really do that on jane doe vs knockout, terran has more sooner with the free 3rd in the back to where a timing attack on the natural would be easily defended
>>739476407>Soma. Picked. Jane. Doe.+1 flashcoin added to his account
why do coreans love nigger music that much
okay but does Flash have a temple with a praying area dedicated to him?
>tfw FlaSh lost all mech games vs Soma>win most games with bio>game 1 of grand finals he wins with makewhat do the numbers mean
i dont like mutas so i'm glad that zerg lostbuild non muta next time
>>739476468This is kpop now, they took this industry away unironically
>>739476412ok but what better outcome is there? goliaths lose to zerglings, hydras, lurkers, ultras, etc
>>739476520He was building up to Hydra+muta which crushes mass Goliaths, then for defilers, then maybe queens on top.
>>739476386>Ackshually Ol' Gookaboo Jackson invented goliath builds in 2002
if flash's body was capable of playing sk terran, he would
soma got the call
>>739476528>goliaths lose to zerglings, hydras, lurkers,Not really.
I'm waiting for mass queens ensnaring scvs while they waste money on turrets for mutas to become the meta
>>739473675I was a UMS guy. The only time I played a regular game was on BGH.
my wives
>>739476480maybe thats why he's called "god"
>>739476528Muta doing better at picking off SCVs, sniping off weak groups of goliath etc
>>739476528>goliaths lose to zerglingsnothe rest they do ok against for a starting build
Having Faker advertisement when Flash is here is disrespectful wtf
well, does anyone have a harem of bad bitches like royal?
kay pan pan
>>739476659Royal has a uni team he's in charge of coaching. Flash apparently does not.
Camera zooming on peoples phone is a disaster waiting to happen kek
kino
>close spawnsIT'S OVER FOR SOMA
>>739476614They do but you have to abuse goliath turn rate
soma's strongest soldier
madlad
imagine this kind of flash innovating for fast games with the mechanics of 2010 flash.he would've had hours of pimpest plays.
>you need to invest money to buy our time travel options to be able to pause>just use firefox's ability to pop out the video>can now pauseKorean Gooks always evil.
>>739476713>guy in backwhy are koreans like this
KEK
CMON FLASH SCORE SOME FAKING MUTA KILLS
Flash would lose to a 4pool come the fuck on
>>739476775>>739476772>>739476713this guy is very based kek
>cc firstlole
>>739476750this has to be bait
wait fuckI missed the first minute of this game, was this a CC first? Very ballsy if true
>>739476802FlaSh lost all his cc-first mech builds vs hero and soma as per jinjin.
>>739476750goliaths absolutely shred lings you tard
Why not triple expand after seeing cc first what the hell is soma thinking
bruh the fuck is this build
Those aren't goliaths
>CC first to bio in a close spawnHold on Soma, you'll be in for a fucking ride.
>>739476842He won with it 15 minutes ago thougheverbeit
>>739476883CC first 5 rax+1, the best anti-zerg build in a close spawn.It's pretty fucking hard to defend against this I'll be honest with you as everything its much earlier.Thankfully Soma knows and will be prepared.
Oh fuck, I forgot how early this was going to start.
aw yea
Soma defended but he has no 3rd base, fuck.
Gg nice hold
>>739476770kek really?I have to try that now
Jesus look at Flash's posture, talk about preserving that wrist, and everything else.
I watched this exact game before I don't remember who won
Zerg cant win 2 base vs 2 base
Soma's 3rd is too late but he repelled all of the attacks so far. So, good for him.
Strong use of mutas before the vessels come outCAM ON SOMA LET'S KILL SOME FAKKING SCVS
Got a feeling soma might win this game #2, he's done well to repel flash and exploit weaknesses in the base
flash army is so smol
>barely burrowed in timethis is tense
geeeeegeeeeeeeeeee
I just audibly screamed "FUCK".
wow that was insane
4-0 ez
LOL
holy fuck that was won by super slim fucking margin. SOMA MANAGED TO DEFEND EVERY SINGLE ATTACK BUT THE LAST ONE
it's so over
GOD
Thought he might turn it around when the consumes started being cast not gonna lie
needed guardian unironically
>>739477105bigger than soma's pp
Terran econ greed vs low econ 2 base zerg and still muta almost win this man fuck this. You cant tell me this game is balance
HOW DID THE MUTAS NOT KILL A SINGLE TANK WHEN HE CUT HIS ARMY IN HALF
>casually walks past your dark swarm
wait how the fuckhow did flash huh
>>739477105THIS POSTER IN SHAMBLES
Flash is playing well but soma is clearly too nervous to play properly. Didn't target tanks with his mutas before, kill 2 tanks and Flash with only 1 tank and he wouldn't be able to do anything
>mass goliaths vs mutas>cc firstHe can't win an even game. What are the odds he lucks out another two times?
free
Fuck, I really thought Soma could win, they had equal supply at some points@!
hope this isnt a 4-0
>>739477158this, soma was literally like just 30 seconds behind, if flash was slower by even 20 seconds then some would've held that pushFlash's timings is just next level what the fuuuuuuu
ASL finals? more like dead zerg storage.
>>739477183he pulled put a second army out of nowheremany such cases, I should've known
a 10 seconds earlier swarm would have held it
>>739477172>nooo im supposed to be invincible you cant do that noooo
>>739477171rigged gameevery zerg pro would have gone for the tanks thereimagine watching this dishonest crap
long ass games means flash's wrist will explode soon. trust the plan
>>739477171Did you miss the part where the mutas were severely damaged trying to cut through main and nat scvs. That adds up with battering from trying guerilla tactics against the bio army.
>>739477209lel
>>739477212It's cc first with flash macro of course an army is popping out
>>739477174>he's fast
>>739477219
>>739477242Leta unironically showed Terrans that Wraiths are viable openers.
>>739477241he stood and fought all of the marines that were with the tanks instead of picking off the tanks
>>739477259I accept your concession terrany
>>739477169>terran wins by a-moving marines across the map but that actually means zerg is op because terran should have won even harderterrany posters are on another level
>>739477227>long ass gamesbut both games have been rather short???????
CAMONSOMA
>>739477209kek
3rd CC first inc
Would an earlier sunken have helped? I felt he needed to remake the two dead sunkens after the first failed attack.
>>739477289there's no way
Bros I'm hungry as fuck but I don't want to miss any of these matches by going to the kitchen>>739477263True, until Queens get Ensnare at least.
ok soma got first scout, good for him
reminder zergs are paid not to 4pool flash
>>739477289>>739477314kek
Lmao another cc first. 4 pool you fucking coward
>>739477289>>739477314if Soma's not willing to 4 pool then why not
>DROBE RUSHLETS FUCKING GO
OH SHIT
Havent payed much attention to SC outside Artosis memery,Holy shit, Flash is still playing and he's still godlike?

No queensWorker uprising now
GUNDAAAAAAM BATTORUUU
WORKER FIGHT KEK
>>739475995NOW THIS IS STARCRAFT
>4 drobes 1 scv
I went to take a piss. Why are two drones dancing in Flash's natural?
Soma getting 3rd this early is good. The reason he lost last game was his third was too late.But his army will be too thin, I'm scared that he won't be able to defend the first attack.
how desperate do you have to be
This is still gg no way soma has enough for the first timing attack
all this to distract from the third
>>739477352>Flash is still playing and he's still godlike?Assuming he wins this championship (already 2-0 btw), he's still by far the best player.
>>739477406made for big zergcock

>>739477416Drone pressure is standard now. He's done it against Rush in practice on stream.
HOW DID THAT BARRACKS LAND???????????THERE WERE ZERGLINGS UNDERNEATH AAAAAAAA
oh shit
Soma got something good out of that. First vulture dead and no marines in bunker.
how the fuck
holy shit
BREAD STATUS??????
>>739477480animation started literally 1 frame before too late
TIME FOR TOTAL DRONE DEATH
dats a lot of vultures
VROOOOOOM
Vultures shooting a sunk??? rigged match
MAEK
Ok Soma should win this. He deflected masterfully and did enough damage.
holy shit that zerg defense
>diving 3 times just to destroy a turretSO not worth it lol, Soma is fucked
flash isnt getting out of this one now
>>739477556targeting was hard in that engagement
4-2

These games have been fucking awesome so far

We got a series boys

Soon to be 2-2. Then 3-2.
OH THANK GOD THE MATCH IS OVERLET ME GRAB SOMETHING TO EAT REAL QUICK FROM THE KITCHEN
>>739477726Octagonorrhea is worse.
>>739477742it's over
>>739477726Syphid is the best map, the most balanced.
Do you get DQ if you gg for your opponet?
flash is getting hidden signals telling him its okay to cc firstrigged game
>>739477796the audience drags you in the street and break your kneecaps
>>739477796You get DQ from ASL if you don't gg (actually in the official rules)
>>739477742is this why he's playing with his arm in that weird position? wrist exploding?
>>739477785Sylphid literally is a Zerg map wtf u talkin about
>>739477831he always does that but yes
>>739477831he's doing it for showif he loses he can just blame the wrist
>>739477831Yes, he has a very fucked up wrist and basically the whole arm from playing Starcraft. RSIs are a big problem for Starcraft players.
Every map is a zerg map
Google knows it's rigged. Pack up.

was he a victim from the war?feel bad for the man
Why are you bullying him man :(
LETS FAKKIN DO A 4-POOL OR AT LEAST A 9-POOL
Did they buff up the trophy because flash is here? I thought they always use that little square glass
are you listening to the korean audio or what
>>739478161Lost his balls in the war. Tragic.
>flash chose the nazi mapvery telling
>이세돌>Lee Sedol, or Lee Se-dol, is a South Korean former professional Go player of 9 dan rank. As of February 2016, he ranked second in international titles, behind only Lee Chang-ho. His nickname is "The Strong Stone". In March 2016, he played a series of matches against the program AlphaGo that ended in Lee losing 1–4.

His problem?
SOMA NO LONGER CARES ABOUT THE SCRIPTTHIS IS ROCKY V, HE'S REFUSING TO THROW THE FIGHT
What is he thinking?
That rax was too fucking forward lmao and he pulled the marine way too late. Sloppy plays by flash standard

Don't let Flash maek marines and you win. It's literally that easy
Flash angry
why don't you just 4 pool twice? flash gets to CC first twice so its only fair amirite?
>>739478436they're only 2 years apart
>>739478332
why doesnt Flash just flash his enemy to both confuse and disgust them, thus leaving him an opportunity to strike at their base while they are distracted??
REEEEEEEEEee
>>739478490jej
>>739478490kek
>>739478501another reason to not watch the English stream
Flash doesnt scout wtf
We haven't seen wraiths yet...

wait guys why doesnt soma just hatchery rush flash??

is this a blind counter or is Flash just this good?
>soma throwing instead of doing a 4pool
fuck
uh oh zergsissies
wait what, how the fuck does soma lose that?
EZ read
>>739478639scv saw the hydra den
dishonest lurkfag put in his place
One game away from being champion yet again:^)
Weirdly aggressive on this map? Easy to defend crap on this map so this was pretty dumb
>>739478639someone is feeding him build ordersthere's no way he counters 4pool with the first 9rax he's done in this entire tournament
>>739478639he saw the den and prepared for it
somasisters..............
I just screamed "fuck" again. Flash scouted his build so why not pivot? If he backed off, and built a third and protected with those lurkers, he could have transitioned into a macro game. Or was he too all-in with too few workers?
>>739478639scv got inGGEZ
>>739478639hydra den was in natural, flash saw it coming with the scv scout sneak
>>739478639Pretty sure he cancelled a factory after scouting it
TAP OUT
>>739478682mind gamesattacking on the easiest to defend mapbig brain strats
>this is soma's secret build>an all in that gets repelled like it's nothing
so is soma just admitting he cant beat flash in the long game?
Lurker bust on the strongest defensive chokepoint in the mappool. Is that genius or pure retardism?
>>739478682Isn't this the map where Soulkey lost?
>>739478756he was trying to push past the stupidity and loop back around to genius
even if flash wins please lets go to game 7
HE'S GETTING HACKERMAN'D LIVE
>>739478691There is no transition. if zergs could pivot between lurker busts and macro that easily we would see more of them
>>739478756He had a great idea, FlaSh was gearing towards another fucking golith build again, only that Soma was just as sloppy as flash in preventing scouting. If he prevented that scv scout he likely would've busted and won.
>>739478756lurkers actually don't care about the high ground
Shitty ass text to speech music
>>739478805But it was scouted. That means there's no element of surpize and it's doomed to fail. Why keep marching towards your doom?
>>739478827is it ai music or real music this time around?
>>739478839it's all in, either it works or it doesn't.
DARE I SAYK I N OINOa few hours from now there'll be final EPL matches. amazing day
FUCK THE TL CALENDAR HAD THE WRONG TIME AND I JUST WOKE UP WHAT'S HAPPENING?
>>739478839He almost busted desu
>>739478839>>739478691nta but there's no transition because it was too all-in. Zerg's army cannot have been replenished quickly for the incoming attack and nor will Zerg be able to catch up to Terran at that point.
Its the curtains for somayou can cheese only so much against a real player
>>739478564>qrd on Xun?He likes to make irrelevant shit up about the players as the games go on to keep a "narrative" going.Like how Tulbo is supposedly insecure about his weight as if that has any meaning when your entire SCV line is getting stormed.
Soma is clearly desperate. I'm running out of hopium
>>739478891Bro... You missed all the kino matches...
>flash's only loss is to 4poolSeriously, what does this MEAN?
>>7394788912 kino games2 shitty games1, well normal game.Game 6 now.
>>739478891No it didn't lol, I was watching it count down to the finals. As for what's happening, kino.
Flash was right when he said his greatest challenge this season would be Snow
>>739478934fuck mutas and defilers, 4pool is the true way of the swarm
I'm not liking this final
Fantasy needs to return, it's boring all the Terrans look bad when FlaSh is around and whether he wins or loses this he'll be missed.Is Last still around?
>>739478934>onlyYou just wake up from your drunken stupor? It's 3-2 now.
>>739478938be kind to retardanon, he's a protoss player
>>739478885>EPLwhat's that?
If Flash's wrist is fucked, wouldn't it be in Soma's favor to drag out matches that he's losing? Or is that too dishonorable against Flash?
>>739478980>Is Last still around?Like he's not dead or retired if that is what you mean. He plays but not for tournaments.
>>739478996ingerland divegrass
>>739479006After every loss Flash goes backstage to do some meth to power through the pain.
>>739478996Eastern Plaguelands
Flash going against the defacto best players for their races one by one and wining it all. Is this the greatest bracket win of all sc history?
>>739479006It's not the wrist, it's the entire arm that's fucked see >>739474629. It's jd whose wrists are fucked.
>>739478818>this postwas it autism
>>739479014ahhhhh tbqh i've always been interested in that but never bothered to actually watch for real
>>739478980>Fantasy needs to returnI remember people were talking some time ago about a player on bnet they said was him, for how he was hotkeying the units. Dunno why he never returned after all these years, maybe he's just doing something else with his life.
flash needs to get away with 14cc or punish a failed cheese to stand a chance. as long as the opener is close soma will win
>>739479006He got shit on playing standard in games 1-2.
how come girls dont play this game? are they dumb? imagine a cute girl that could keep up with the top
>>739479012Why did he "retire" from trying in ASL?>>739479042the fact that he did reach the finals with a fucked up arm and haven't been competing for years is already an achievement, but since he's flash it's like, "okay so he reached it. a loss is a failure tho"If it were shuttle who did this everyone would already be saying it's a win for him like how Tulbo reached ro8.
just do a 4pool :^)
>>739479087because this happens
manifesting another 4pool
>>739479087they do
>>739479087You wouldn't last a second against tossgirl
>>739479087you got Scarlet in SC2
>>739479058fantasy returned a couple years agowon a tournament in saudi arabia against jaedong and bisuthen retired again
>>739479087They do, there are sponsored Korean university teams that are all girls and they get coached by the pros. They just aren't as good obviously.
>>739479087they do. the uni teams bring in the big bucks.
These are some short ass games

>>739479110holy kek
>>739479108all pros destroyed their wrists playing 50 games a day in the kespa era and don't want to do it again
>>739479087they do in Uni league which is the most popular BW format
FIRST SCOUT LETS GOOOOOO SOMA
>>739479087They had ladies leagues, which is where Kadenzie competed until they shut them down and transitioned to the Uni leagues. TossGirl is still a very top tier player, a few levels behind ASL players.
>another short spawn where soma gets first scoutweird
>>739479118I wouldn't last a second inside her either
Finally, a 9pool.
>>739479087There are actually have a ton of korean tiddy streamers that play starcraft. Good players coach them and they play (poorly) against eachother, getting more views than the actual top players. It's what's keeping the starcraft scene alive.
This is FlaSh's map pick, right?
>>739479130I think he was vague, saying not yet to returning to full play. >>739479195>>739479207She's also a pianist.
>no 14ccwe're going to game 7!!!
>going mech againwhats the point of flash if he cant do mm anymore
God I love Starcraft's soundtrack. Pure soul.

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!
the kind of game Artosis would have on stream and then rage for an hour
I just screamed "HOLY SHIT". Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. HOLY SHIT.That was a crazy ass game from Soma. He was like "yeah, kill my natural. I am going to stop mining in your natural and kill all your factories". Then he last minute defended the third. What a wild crazy ass match.
flash might as well playing lying down on his arm at this point lmao
>tfw another zerg beats Flash in the finalsEffort blessed this season.
no matter who wins this entire series(and season!) was awesome
flash will win the next game
Bros, I thought you weren't ever supposed to base trade a terran...
this is Flash's last pro BW game.
>>739479392>marine medic is so much cooler than this clanker buildI think Goliath builds suck and are too easily countered by MUTA-KINGS. I think they have their place but they can't replace Medic-Marine. >>739479409The fact they do half damage to Muta-KINGS. Bow to the Mutalisks worm.
Not seeing a lot of foreigners in the audience, were they not allowed to buy tickets lol?
>FlaSh is still stubborn after all the years sticking to one build in a series despite being countered in practice gamesYeah, lmao he never left.
>>739479575I'm mad too there is no real counter to muta without vessel or valks. Tier 3 for a tier 2 counter btw. Fuck this unbalance game
>>739479615dyrbi
>Match Point will be on Match Pointholy fvcking kino
>>739479629I saw some European-ancestry people in the audience early on.
>>739479613You don't but usually they maek marine not these slow mech units.
cc first or hatch first
starcraft is alive
>>739479613youre thinking of sc2
it's sad that there are no pros in the audience because they all have to cash in at home viewing it live on stream
double center raxdo eet
Whoever wins, I'm happy for this season and enjoyed it very much.
>>739479669>-ancestrywhat autism is this
>>739479661God couldn't write a better script
>>739479658>inb4, Samsung gave him the first high performances bionic arm
>>739479630Some of these goliath wins are knife-edge wins but they work when they work. When they don't? Zerg exploits the mech's lack of mobility as you saw in the last match. You can't be everywhere with mech, and Soma just destroyed Flash's factories.
what an epic comeback after 2 - 0 loss
It's going to be a 4pool isn't it?
>>739479698>oh no, the pros and soop are making tens of thousands of dollars tonight. Weep for them and their loss. This is a business and they're well paid.
Let's go for a 60 minute long final game, I need to see honor on both sides. Flash has to go ultramode, go SK terran. Sacrifice his arm for that final win. If he doesn't win he's the eternal second. Lost to Effort, never fought soulkey, lost to Soma.
>Flash wins game 7All according to script :)
>inb4 a shitty all-in
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Game 7 will be more Goliaths
flash will bunker rush
>>739479775can u even bunker rush a zerg lmao
DO IT FLASH
>>739479754It better be a long ass macro game. We have hardly had any of those. How many defilers have we seen? 1? It's mostly just early game or mid-game, no late game kino.
what if flash bunker rushed the venue
Did you see that overlord anus? Hot.
the overlord's ass looks like a coffee bean :)
>>739479782boxer could
>>739479698they're all having watch parties, drinking and memeing together
Matchpoint is literally>maek mutathe map. It's imbalanced in favor of Zerg vs Terran.
Finals have been 2.5 hours so far. A long game puts it over 3 hours, with the 20-30 minutes after-show. A ZvZ finals and we'd be home by now.
>>739479615this is flash's eighth or more "last" gamedude is a master at baiting his fanbase only to rugpull and walk back what he said in the past
rush distance too long, free win for Z
>>739479825>the ro4 tvt is shorter than this
Flash needs to drop mech and Medic-Marine it again for old time's sake. This might be his last finals ever. Bio-Medic wins.
DROBE RUSH 2.0
DROBE RUSHHOLY SHIT
DROBES OUT

Why didnt he just abandon main a little while and play off expo? Its one base zerg what the hell
Why did Flash tap out?
>>739479972"naaaaaaah he won't MAEK anymore for sure"
>gay little zerg rushhere's your final match bro
TOTAL TERRANNY DEATH!!!!!!TOTAL TERRANNY DEATH!!!!!!TOTAL TERRANNY DEATH!!!!!!
it's ok flash sisters ASL29 is ours
Based ZergGODS run this fucking game. Seethe Terransissies, your god is dead!
this is like the, what, 6th zerg champion in a row?bit unreal
>>739479920toss main btw
yeah fuck this stupid semen slurping game. with flash gone this will also be the last time i watch this shit ass dead game
huh? was flash even losing? why did he leave?
betrayed by his armcouldn't micro
>*cancel wall barracks*>*ggs out vs 1 base*why
Do the champs get insane korean pussy?
>>739480010yeah wtf? soma has no economy
>>739479829>this is flash's eighth or more "last" game>dude is a master at baiting his fanbase only to rugpull and walk back what he said in the pastHe's been consistent. He has said he is not in prime shape, and his arm is in constant pain and that hsi fans should consider him functionally retired. He may return periodically to professional play if he feels in good form.
>>739480010I had the same thought, it was weird. Maybe because he cancelled the barracks wall? He easily could've recovered.Although, I think he had a very low scv count.
>>739480025FUCKING RRAT GET LOSTI'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU ON /vitagen/ AND I DON'T NEED YOU HERE EITHER
Effort called out
wtf?that was stupid
i'm so glad for broodwar, i've been watching this shit EVERY YEAR since the gomtv days with these thread, i'm glad we can continue this tradition. thanks anons, thanks broodwar
Flash = jobberFlash = "the ultimate weapon"Flash = only went 50/50 vs DONGFlash = lost twice to EffortFlash = lost to SomaFlash = avoided soulkeyFlash = ScammerFlash = can't SK, only mech
>>739480046soma is married and he has a daughter
>>739480006we didn't see any ultras today tho
Flash needs to off-race with Protoss next season. Its' like playing Mech vs. Zerg every single game. He's a very good protoss player after all.
that was the most anticlimactic final game
>>739480010Flash fell to the pressure. Maek wall, mine from expo and he would have won. Soma had zero economy.
There was no need to prepare a 2nd thread, after all.
Flash is gone, zerg wins for six time. Im done im out this game is solved and will never be great after this point. Its been a good 28 years see you later bros.
>>739480079Don't forget: lost semifinal to Zerg Chad Zero.
reminder 12 out of 14 top pros predicted flash would win
Soma winning against FlaSh must've been a huge slap for those who can't win against b-teamers. Now FlaSh's era has officially ended. Arm fucked beyond belief and can't win against a literal amateur anymore.
flash has 2 cc, he could definitely held. no idea why he gave up.
Man, fuck Brood War, that was such an obvious throw. Literally just mine at your natural and you win
He never gave up.
>>739480106what are you talking about, drone drill rushes are hype as fucksorry you terrannies can't handle a build that you counter by not leaving all your scvs in main to die when the bunker is right there at your natural
why gg THOUGH
>>739480114>Soma had zero economy.Cuz it was an all-in and a huge gamble. It was working.
>>739480010he cancelled the wall for some reason
flash has been playing this game for a gorillion years, how does he lose to nerves like this
>>739480006>ZERG DISHONESTYHe pooled and pulled drones on reaction to the CC first. Terrannies just force the Z's hand when they go CC first because they can't afford to let T get away with such an opener.
flash was too tilted
>>739480010For once, a Fantasy gg timing would've been good.
>>739480134I KNEEL
>>739480130He probably knew that he was too behind because Soma just kept on flooding zerglings, but the moment they got in, his scv line was massacred and Soma was macroing behind that? or tilt lmao idk
it's kind of unfortunate that soma only won through cheese. i expected him to be better than this
>>739480125
>>739480175>tilt lmaoyup
>>739480141it was hype and about to get more hype and then he randomly just quit out instead of playing 1 base vs 1 basehe literally held and then just left
>>739480134what does it say on his forehead?
>>739480130flash is too used to getting away with early CC and nobody punishes him
>>739480143Okay maek wall, mine expo, what could soma do? Flash can lift main CC and soma can't even kill that. 1 base mining terran beats 1base zerg every single time. And when he can land main cc again he has 2 base
>>739480141>that you counter by not leaving all your scvs in main to die when the bunker is right there at your naturalThat's why it was anti-climatic, it was completely defendable.
soma was practically gifted this finals with his non existent bracket
>>739480180>flash literally gets free scout vs the 4 pool by hearing the audience>still loses>has a guaranteed win game seven if he just walls up and moves to natural>still losesMaybe the CHEDDAR TERRAN deserves to get a taste of his own medicine, faggot
>>739480180It's how the game is, for all the mid-late game glamor, cheese will always exist and it's FlaSh's fault he wasn't ready for it.Soma literally did that in Sylphid, it's just that Matchpoint is a zerg map unlike Sylphid.
>>739480208Correct, I think he got too predictable, and was too greedy. He probably was relying upon this early advantage to overcome his poor arm.
>>739480141>drone drill rushes are hype as fuck100%Should've kept fighting it out, though. It's the final game of THE finals for fuck's sake, you gotta at least TRY to recover as long as there's any chance
EVERYONE post in the /vst/ Starcraft General after this thread dies.
>why did he GG? he wasn't actively dying that exact moment?many anons failing the breakfast question
>>739480180cc first is economic cheese
>>739480192>chapter 1, verse 4:1i love AI translations
>>739480218Soma had a 2nd base getting built. Check the minimap. FlaSh knew that. He will be too behind even if he lands the CC back after getting the main base from the inside attack.
>>739480246No thanks, I'm straight.
>>739480246ewwww no fucking way
>>739480260>thou shalt not cheese
flash deserved to lose for rugpulling thousands of his trusting fans with a crypto scam
>>739480246>/vst/What the fuck is that.
>>739480262In effect soma still has no economy, any drones built means he's not building lings. Meanwhile Terran can maek scvs and marines at the same time which is why Terran always wins. Flash could have won this easily
Alright, until next season bros, remember to BUTTER YOUR FUCKING BREAD.
>>739480246Loomies.. if you see this.. I love you
I missed all of the early games so I might as well watch them in english now. how long does it take artosis's lazy canadian ass to put the replays up?
>>739480262unwinnable? certainly not, soma had maybe 5-6 active drones, flash still had about 8-10 scvs and a perfectly defended natural, and his main was in no danger of being destroyed since he can just floatall flash had to do was take a minute to build up some marines, clear out his main, and then he'd be back in it, maybe disadvantaged but not deadbut muh wrist, it's not fair soma should have stuck to the script and thrown
>>739480313we'll have to wait for his post-ASL video then, he'l surely say why.
>>739480297Flash is swimming in the cash now.
>>739480165heh
WHY DID HE CANCEL THE WALL INHE LITERALLY JUST GAVE UP FOR NO REASON
>I permanently ruined my wrist for this
People are forgetting that Flash was mentally defeated already.The zerg rushes did too much psychic damage to him.
They need to bring back the energy drink sponsor.
>>739480180>Opponent has the fastest, most cost-effective, most deadly low-econ early game unit in the game>Maybe I should 14CC every gameTerrannies get what they fucking deserve
>>739480332just 2 days if you join their patreon :^)
>>739480313>>739480337Soma had gas. How does FlaSh answer incoming 1 base muta/hydra without academy/Ebay?
his foundation doesn't match his skintone
>>739480395>Soma had gas. How does FlaSh answer incoming 1 base muta/hydra without academy/Ebay?You'd need 6 drones alone mining gas to make mutas...
Any other Terran would've tried fighting that out. Soma would've been blasted by Fantasy.
>whiteface
>>739480395just because he had a geyser did not mean he had good gas economyhe still had nothing towards getting lair, then spire, then mutas, that's so much time for flash to just drop a single ebay and start building turrets
>>739480389Zerg doesnt kino back and does 3 hatch no pool.
>>739480429And he had 2 bases already.Flash needs to clear main, build rax, aca, ebay, after getting his eco wrecked by the 2nd round of lings.He was in no way catching up to that.His fault was letting the 2nd wave get in. He should've continued with the wall-in.Idk why he thought a 2nd wave was not coming as Soma literally wrecked his drone line to do that push.
>>739480434>my final cope
sex with stargirl
>>739480448>so much time for flash to juts drop a single ebay and start building turrentsYou forget that he had to clear his main first which had lings and drones.
>>739480480Her name is HKLee and she is a married woman with a young infant.
the copium begins
>>739480469I said maek wall. Zerg doing all-ins are real all-ins. You can't just pivot into a macro game as zerg lol
>>739480515terranies you ok? you ok?
>>739480495>leave 4 marines in bunker>continue pumping scvs and marines from natural>once you get 6 extra marines, a-move them into main to clear, make sure to leave your bunker full to prevent runbyit's not that hard, flash was under no immediate pressure and if he got his wall up then it was actually probably flash favoredfuck that rigger flash though
I wouldn't put it past flash to take the bribe.
>>739480461>Zerg doesnt kino back and does 3 hatch no pool.Good luck making enough sunks to defend both your natural and your 3rd.
>>739480545>>739480553flash finna have to explain himself then. he prolly just wanted to go home lmao
RATE THE FINALSRATE THE SEASON
Flash don't have to explain nothing to anybodySneed
>>739480576hand hurt, energy drink ran out, didn't have pants with a zipper
This is likely the last time we'll ever hit this number of posts again in a long time
>>739480589Pretty gud finals given Flash is handicapped old man. But I thought the season would be a lot more kino and a lot of matches were kind of disappointing.
>TULBO-GOD featured heavily in the end-creditsI love these end-creidts they've added in like the last 3 years? 2 years? It's pretty recent. Feels like an anime.
>>739480368i think he could of held even without the wall, just ran his remaining scv to his natural and restart mining. the zerg had nothing.
>>739480589>Finalshonestly 4/10, disappointing from both sides, Soma couldn't match FlaSh's macro while FlaSh simply is too stubborn with his builds, CC-first the entire fucking series lmao.>SEASONTULBO-GOD MAKES IT 10/10.
>>739480589I expected more from Flash
You know, Soma's pretty ugly.
>>739480628I remember screencapping this from JYJ's winning season, Season 14. I really liked that season.
>>739480589>FinalsGiga hype with anticlimax ending/10>SeasonFucking epic, Leta and Tulbo are my fuarking hero/10Sadly, we didn't get to see abother JD vs Flash
>>739480589ro8 Tulbo vs Leta / 10
>>739480669>season 14oops fatfingered, it's asl15
>>739480589>finals8/10, I'm very glad soma won in the end and the games were great, although none of them reached hive zvz, and it's still sad we didn't see bisu or jd but jd jobbed like a bitch to light and bisu is washed so I guess it's fair>seasonmaybe 6.5/10? despite some absolute kino groups stages, there were a lot of absolute stinker rounds, the ro8 was fucking terrible overall, and it's getting tiring seeing yet another zerg winner, maps were boring except for jane doe
>>739480589>FINALS6/10, I'm glad Soma won and 4-3 is nice but the games for the most part were just so-so.>SEASON8/10, was a good ride.
>>739480589>RATE THE FINALS8/10, clearly the 2 most deserving players made it but minus 1 point for lack of a big macro game and minus 1 point for the early gg and making the finals feel like it had a weird ending>RATE THE SEASON7/10, top bracket round of 8 was shit though bottom bracket was kino. Leta getting so far was fun.
I'm sure Artosis can rationalize why there was nothing Flash could've done against the Zergling menace
>tfw flash himself can't beat zergwell, what makes you think that choker snow or all the rest of the terran race can do it?2 Zergs can now brag that they beat FlaSh in a finals. Soma can literally retire now and he'll be seen as greater than soulkey.
>>739480589The playoff brackets were fucked like all the finals-tier players besides soma were on flash's side
>>739480619Tbf, this is one of the top asl season
>>739480619Maybe. The last few ASLs have been a bit of a revival in Starcarft here on /v/, it's been fun posting with the lads again.
>>7394805892/10 finals, premature gg final game8/10 season thanks to TULGOD
It's actually better Flash lost here, gives him a reason to not quit.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkgY3k9n32YSoma literally repeated what Effort did lmao
>>739480779We need Samsung and Hyundai to develop the high-performances bionic arms now!!!
>>739480779He never was going to quitHow many times do his retarded fans need to be suckered into THE LAST FLASH GAME EVER OMGGGGG, it's been over a decade at this point
page 10reminder we have a general in /vst/ if you wanna keep chating post 404>>>/vst/2378281>>>/vst/2378281>>>/vst/2378281
Tulbochads what's your memory of him this season?His stucked DTs was so fucking funny lmao
>>739480779>It's actually better Flash lost here, gives him a reason to not quit.His arm will literally quit on him if he doesn't quit.If stem cell treatment fixes it, he'll probably compete again but as of now he's practically retired. This is his Final ASL in the foreseeable future.He said it himself. If it gets better, we'll see more of him.It's stupid to risk another run if he'll just fizzle in the finals like this again. Anything but a win is a loss for FlaSh, time for him to give others the spotlight.
>>739480814>please post in my dead thread
>>739480814LGBT central
>>739480736>I'm sure Artosis can rationalize why there was nothing Flash could've done against the Zergling menaceAs far as he's concerned, every game is unwinnable for the terran.
>>739480872not really, it's just that this one is about to be archived and it doesnt justify making a new one
put jaedong and light on separate sides of bracket next time thanks
>flash wasn't ready for the drone pullhis training partners were shit, then. it has always been soma's answer to cc first.
>>739480382I miss hot6 ;_;
See you guys in the next season! Hopefully someone stops Soma and hopefully a Protoss wins since it's been forever ago since a protoss won.
I dont understand why terran is the defensive race but their star player loses his arm from apm but zergs are the high apm race yet they dont have injuries...
nigga
>>739480589Season was very good.Finals was good for the most part.
Next season is Snow season
>>739480768>those dark days post-live Tastosis when only a few of the faithful stuck to the live threads because the rest were "no tastosis, no watch"I was there, sometimes an ASL day would end with only like 100+ posts.
>>739480973Protoss will only ever win when their players stop being lazy 1a2a3a fucksThey've actually all regressed into gateway men, nobody is using sair/reaver builds, dark archons were being used for a bit but got forgotten, we haven't seen anyone even trying to utilize arbiters properlyTurns out when all you do every game is gateway man, it's very easy to counter
>>739480973Mini winning an ASL has cursed the race forevermore, there will never ever be another toss champ.
>>739481000nah. he needs insane luck not to run into a zerg. soma will probably win again.
>>739480982terran bio is the most micro intensive. there's a reason flash is hellbent on using mech
>>739481019nta but artosis is singlehandedly keeping shit alive outside korea whether its his casts, getting beat up by snow, or sniped by bucc
>>739480589>RATE THE SEASONalright>RATE THE FINALSpremature ejaculation
>>739481019Their 2-days delay make me switch lmao
>>739481065True, his daily casts is also amazing
>>739480938>put jaedong and light on separate sides of bracket next time thanksThat whole debacle was entirely on Light for not managing to secure a 1st place finish in his pool.
>>739481000Snow is the biggest choker
>>739481000He is never going to beat Soma/Soulkey ever again, he is completely mentally broken by Zerg
>>739481196Next season RO8 will be 7 Terran + Snow. Trust
Thing is, Flash. Right now, you got ability. But painful as it may be, ability don't last. And your days are just about over. But that's a hard motherfucking fact of life. The night of the fight, you might feel a slight sting. That's pride, fucking with you. FUCK PRIDE. Pride only hurts. It never helps. You fight through that shit. Cause a year from now, when you kickin' it in the Caribbean, you gonna say to yourself, Ma Jae Yoon was right. In the seventh, your ass goes down. SAY IT.
