ASL 20 information: https://liquipedia.net/starcraft/ASL/20Q: Why is Flash ducking Soulkey?A: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhewOR_gRXYOld: >>2048326
>>2137732>get eliminated by zero in the semifinals of asl 9>he goes on to win the final against "the best tvz player">get absolutely buck-broken and play random to try to save face>it doesn't work>play random again>it doesn't work>never play again>reddit faggots claim you switched to random "because you got tired of winning"Jesus...
>>2138302Why are Terran players so fragile, sisters?
>>2138452Terran players feel entitled to getting free wins vs zerg, so when it doesn't work they get scared and confused.
cool op pic
so why is the ro16 more than 50% zerg when the maps are supposedly anti-zerg? seems like zerg is just OP and they're too afraid to play a real race.
>>2139010careful, anon, you'll cause the zergschizo to chimp out and make 16 posts on why every terran unit is OP despite evidence to the contrary.
>old thread still alive, will still be up for a week or two>schizo already baked a new one>already samefagging his melty
>>2139557just remember not to visit /vst/ before you've seen the ASL finals since he'll likely just make ANOTHER thread about whoever wins it. either soulkey da best, zergs are better than you, or protoss/terran are OP, but either way he'll post a new thread for sure...

A lot of the chicks in the audience have nice enough faces, but mid bodies.Some exception.Saw some behind the scenes footage as well, where they were talking to some audience members, seem like a decent amount of afreeca streamer e-girls that are 'friends' with some of the bigger ASL players that show up, and some of those work hard in the gym.

>soulkey lost to barrackskek. i thought he was supposed to be le modern bonjwa?
>>2142114he isbarracks that is
In the round of 16 selection ceremony Soulkey was at first torn between choosing Sharp or Barracks as his opponent but went with Barracks because he felt bad for Sharp because he had already been curbstomped by him enough times.Bet he is seriously regretting that decision because there's zero chance Sharp would have been able to pull the shit Barracks did. It's extra funny that it was Barracks that then went on to choose Effort to be in their group.
People act like him not seeing the creep was the death blow that did it but it's not like Soulkey tilts and he still lost the second game simply by being outpeformed. Effort is just a much better ZvZer point blank. Even if Soulkey had seen the creep and possibly taken the first game he would very likely still go on to lose the remaining too.
soulkey plays lol now
why is he posting basedjaks now?
Has the Ozempic craze arrived to Korea? Tasteless is losing weight mighty fast

>people want to watch the casters they have been watching for the last 15 years?!?!?!

Qrd on what happened to Nyoken? Why did he stop casting? Was there drama?
>>2142205>He uses StarCraft as his friend simulator
>>2142209He's a talented C backend developer and got a real job to leave his mom's basement
>>2142212>to leave his mom's basementI thought he was living by himself in Korea. I'm pretty sure I recall him doing a house tour
>soulkey has to face a zerg for the first time in years>immediately failsjesus. he really is a 1 trick pony and can't beat someone who uses the same OP race.
>>2142221He literally beat Hero in the finals last year why are you being disingenuous

Is it true the groups of chicks in the audience are paid models to create interest? It's awfully sus how they are there every single time(and not the same ones)
>>2142453most of them are starcraft university streamers
>>2142453bruh... bw pros get all the girls they want in korea
>>2142478This is ancient. Don't pretend Starcraft's current popularity is anywhere near as big as it used to be. Bisu is a droopy aging man now covered in poorly applied foundation that doesn't match his skin tone
>>2142453I don't think so, I think they're just streamer e-girls that collab with some of the pros.Like imagine if there was a proscene heavily intertwined with twitch, and then they'd socialize through that platform and game, then you'd have them show up to events and irl livestream before the even while being dolled up.
With Soulkey out of the way it's Snow's league to lose. Bisu's been on fire lately but if a toss player is gonna win I do hope it's Snow.
>>2142659Snow will lose in the finals against Barracks nukes

our time will come dongbros...we are getting ready to beat flash in the finaltrust the plan
>>2143075I hope JD doesn't reach the finals, because if it's a tough series he'll explode his wrists
>>2143075Yeah. JaeDong's dominance came from his incredible muta micro skills. His wrists just can't keep up anymore, they exploded long ago.
will jaedong remember to build sunken colonies?
Jinjin video showing pros reacting to Soulkey getting blown the fuck out when?
jinjin is a soulkey apologist for sure
>>2143397Remind me why we should hate Soulkey? At least he's not a crypto scammer like Flash
>>2142718Barracks won't even go through the next round and curbing Soulkey's legendary streak will be the achievement highlight of his whole career
How will SnOw choke this one?He will somehow figure out way to lose despite being best player by far out of remaining list as usualBiggest chance he ever had with SoulKey crashing out and I have absolutely 0 belief in him
>>2143559worse. he's retarded and constantly gets scammed out of his own money. he also plays zerg.
>>2143773>constantly gets scammed out of his own money.Qrd?
>>2143766He got the easiest opponent of the race he's strongest against so round of 8 is guaranteed but then all it takes is facing a Zerg where his Reaver magic isn't worth as much and he'll crumble

>>2144075I want the reaction to his loss against barracks
>>2144133Same, it was a lot more impressive and out of nowhere. Most people assumed he would struggle against other Zergs it wasn't that big a shock
Now Flash and Soulkey are on even ground to go against each other in future ASLs, no champion advantage of manipulating the groups
>>2144293Barracks vs Leta ASL21 Finals Flash and Soulkey don't make it out of the qualifiers in ASL22Barracks bonjwa
Barracks should dedicate himself to Onlyfans
Wtf Barracks is 34 years old? He looks 10 years younger than most other players
>>2144071this is some MTL slop
kind of feels like soulkey's excuses are shit. he probably thought he'd just stomp barracks then get into an easy ZvT in the winners match, so he didnt bother practicing at all.either that or he didnt want to risk actually trying to win and failing miserably since he was finally forced to take a zerg in his group.
>>2144389His first mistake was picking Barracks instead of Sharp because "he felt bad for Sharp". He got too cocky
How did Hero not qualify to the round of 16 wtf is going on?!
what are we watching tonight?

What the hell were they even thinking creating a board that would obviously turn into a graveyard
i can discuss strategy games here
I can post cute gooks here
>>2145213They could solve it easily by making generals illegal again, decreasing the bump limit and possibly lowering the thread count by half, so we only have 5 pages of threads instead of 10.Should make threads shorter lived, but those alive more active.Problem with /vst/ now is that too many topics get hijacked by near-dead generals, like the threads on bump support on /vg/ only kept alive by obsessive autists, if it was an active board we could get a shorter lived, but active thread for each series instead.Merging /vst/ and /vrpg/ could also be an alternative.Strategy and Rpgs don't really go together, but they're distinct enough from general video games that /vstrpg/ could be a civilized non-slop counterpart to /v/.
>>2145256
i seriously hope you dont believe that and youre just baiting.
>>2145256nopeBump limit should be removed entirely, same as the thread cap.Having to make a new starcraft thread after any arbitrary number of posts in the thread is pointless.
Just got around to watching R4 Group A. I'm so glad Soulkey got knocked out. I don't know why but I have such irrational hatred against him. Also Tastosis keep sucking him off for some reason (along with Jaedong).I have been wondering, how does Effort qualify for R4? Just because he was in finals couple years back? What if there are several players which were in finals and decide to come back? Wouldn't there be flood of seeded players?
is this a 162 thread i skipped
>>2145293>I have been wondering, how does Effort qualify for R4? Just because he was in finals couple years back? What if there are several players which were in finals and decide to come back? Wouldn't there be flood of seeded players?Huh? He got through the round of 24 qualifiers like everyone else(besides the 4 round of 16 seeded players that were the top 4 of the previous ASL(Soulkey, Best, Snow, Light)
>>2145297Oh my bad. I skipped that one completely.
I started playing Brood War. I've just realized that I'm pretty bad at the game and I'm probably extremely lowest rank ever and cannot stop floating resources after getting to my 3rd supply depot.
>supply depotI see the issue
>>2145338I played some games on korean ladder. My peak APM is 50. I managed to snatch couple of wins by either 4-pooling or hydra busting. There was one match where a protoss tried some kind of shuttle-reaver rush build. He ragequit after his shuttle flied over my rallied hydras which shot it down.

>>2146599Thank god for no mirror matches. I was very pleasantly surprised with Soma and Larva's performance today, wanna root for both but I don't want any fucking ZvZ. Feels conflicted
What Larva did to Light I'm hoping Effort does to Snow. Imagine the shitstorm when even with Soulkey out another Zerg still wins.
>>2146599I just want more TvZ so rest assured I'll be cheering for this handsome fucker
Larva blew me away. Good thing Soulkey was knocked out otherwise it would have been a season of pure Zerg domination.All those Protoss are gonna be chewed alive.

As long as that cryptoscammer Bisu doesn't win I'm happy
watching r.16 group C nowMini just runs in with some zealots and few templars, he doesn't even micro the templars well, gets off one great storm, otherwise templars just unceremoniously killed and he still rolls JD. What the fuck did I just watch? There was nothing special to it, just some zealots walking in into JDs bases and wrecking. Was there something more to it which I failed to notice?
>>2147165Mini forced a lot of lings with early zealots and JD doubled down with a ling flood which did literally 0 damage. After that it was Mini's game to lose.
>>2147165Jaedong is so washed up. It's literally painful to watch him play
>>2147173It wasnt all-in link flood, it wasn't unrecoverable position.Why didnt he make any sunks? Couple sunks in front of those hydras would make things way easier for him, correct? Or am I missing something?Also he had entire control group of lings stationed in front of protoss base and yet two separate times he completely missed the zealot moveout wtf?

It's over
>>2147215He needs to get in shape.Like nothing crazy, just less fat and a lil' bit of muscle.
It's gonna be so funny when the round of 4 ends up being the 3 zergs and barracksThere's nothing more delicious than Protoss tears
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTGz8XAB-wcSoulKey explaining and coping but he's going out with hot Korean waifuWho's the real winner here?
>>2147451Flash for having the same amount of titles, being the better player and being able to use the cryptoscam money to go out with whatever whores
>>2147480>being the better playerArguable. 4 in a row is bigger achievement
>>2147480>and being able to use the cryptoscam money
>>2147526The scene is infinitely smaller now, most players are past their prime. It's the reason Koreans don't even call Soulkey bonjwa, you can't possibly compare the current level to how hardcore the competition used to be
>>2145213It might shock you to know a lot of boards have the same or less level of activity as this. Activity is relative, whether a board is fast or not is all in your head.
BarrackS TvP sucks so I'm worried. At least it's against Mini who's the least consistent of them all.

>tech will set the protoss freei didnt know tasteless was a fan of the austrian painters work
cute gook rikka gf
Imagine watching ASL at 5am LOL!
Mini is too volatile so if Barracks has a chance it is against him. Even so, just because it's PvT Mini is still more likely to take this.Snow is arguably the best player in the round of 8 but because of his PvZ being nowhere as good as his other matchups and his tendency to choke I'm willing to bet Effort will eliminate him.Soma is in great shape but then again so is Best, this is the hardest one to call. I'll give it to Soma but could easily go the other way.If Larva was up against anyone else I'd put my money on him but because Bisu is the best PvZer in the round of 8 and he's been on fire lately it's hard to believe even Larva can get through him.So from there I expect Effort to beat Mini, Bisu to win against Soma and we would have an Effort vs Bisu finals.

>SoulKey has said repeatedly in past he wanted to branch out more into variety stream, just like Rain/Horang2 did. However, most of SoulKey's viewers are there for his BW skills, while Rain/Horang2 has personality to pull off these streams>After 4-peat ASL wins, his stream grew due to his ASL wins/skill, but that's opposite of what he wanted. He wanted to be more free with streaming. However, his audience doesn't allow that and has struggled a bit getting funding from viewers for Major ProLeague at times.>He's been taking lot of criticism recently due to him competing in streamer League tourney a week before Ro.16, and has been taking more frequent breaks off of streaming (and playing League) than previous seasons. He won the streamer League tourney, and joked that he's "aiming for winning a double" in both League and SC tourney.Yuck. What even is the appeal of LoL? This is disappointing to say the least
>>2149269I wonder what Rain is like.I've heard for years that he's more of a variety streamer popular for his personality who's cracked at starcraft, but from what I've seen he's just such a personality void it's hard to believe.
>>2149318if you thought rain had no personality, does soulkey have negative personality then? i dont see how he thinks he can be a variety streamer.
>>2149327>if you thought rain had no personality, does soulkey have negative personality then?No not him either.I'm stating this not as a comparison to Soulkey.Just doesn't shine through much in ASL.Same with Snow, I was shocked to see what a gremlin of a person he is when streaming, after seeing him be so stoic in ASL, interviews and in behind the scenes footage.
>>2149318Nah rain is pretty funny, witty and overall entertaining, at least in comparison to Soulkeyhttps://youtu.be/TEYr_NME-sI?si=_WO9cb7JdHWbtDVZhttps://youtu.be/GO3sl_n3wE0?si=uL_264cwUAl-QtR8https://youtu.be/F6GTSLalmbM?si=u8UbY39ElK_-pHla
>>2149332yea when I saw those vids while ago, I got impression he was an entertainer. IDK how someone can have those impressions that he's void of personality at all
>>2149342Some people only watch the asl where some players code switch because it's a formal setting, just like the other anon said, snow feels like some nervous personality-less person in ASL but he's a riot on streams famous for his devilish laugh and feet clapping

>>2149269Likely took too much mental damage playing Zerg. Softcore shell shock. Terrannies don't even know how bad it feels. The pressure the must have withstood to win FOUR in a row is beyond comprehension.
SPOILERSGee I wonder who's winning between Barracks and Snow.Snow knows damn well he just got a free ticket to the finals.
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!
>lmao Soulkey will destroy Barracks>lmao Mini will destroy Barracks==YOU ARE HERE==>lmao Snow will destroy Barracks>lmao Bisu will destroy Barracks>lmao Barracks will not win two ASL in a row
If Snow was able to beat Effort without even tilting after that insane first loss I don't see anything else stopping him. He's taking this ASL and protoss fans can finally shut the fuck up and stop bitching
LOL ! ! !https://youtu.be/-s_Dm1X-aDI?si=UnJCUNuO0qfINiC_
>>2152197Kinda fucked up that you have access to your phone and can text other pros in-between games. Also the fact that apparently if the audience makes too much noise the players can still hear it
>>2152211Mini won game 6 because of that. Started building batteries when crowd went wild.
>>2152211this has always been the case even w/ complete soundproofing in esports. You can feel vibrations and even small bits of cheers in big esports events and that's just part of playing on tournaments
>>2152197>tastosisters crying about spoilers in the commentskek
Pros are definitely high on adderall/ritalin if not stronger amphetamines, no? How long until they start drug testing e-sporstmen?
>>2152253same time as they stop allowing cs players to blatantly aimbot (never)
What's stopping them from having like a shock collar or band or dildo or whatever concealed under their clothes and have someone watching the game with the controller feeding them intel through signals?
MY GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD
>>2152229>click on a highlight video with Ro8 on title>complain about being spoiledtop kekhow are people this stupid
>>2152211On one hand most sports have a coach giving you encouragement and advising you but it's one individual specifically assigned for it whose job is that. This informal way of getting help makes it all about connections, if you're friendly with top players you have an advantage, if they don't like you you're screwed. Then again the issues with such a small tight knit scene are bigger than that since those relationships essentially define who you're practicing with. That's why outsiders never have the chance to rise to the top, they will never have the luxury to consistently train with and against top level players.
>>2152265not worth the hasslelet's take the idea to its full extent: an entire code of dildo pulses dedicated to communicating tactical signals...>a few seconds before you find out anyway>using the game itself because that's literally the game>while you're already doing ten things at once because that is also the game>and you can only pay attention to so many things at a time>while you're getting dildoed by some onions pronounI know YOU'RE that much of a piece of shit, but what's your ladder rank?
>>2151841Why so much Barracks underestimation? You been brainwashed by Tastosis haven't you? They overestimate Snow and underestimate Barracks.>pic unrelated
>>2151967My highly professional expert analysis is Effort hurt himself by starting each game with pool first. Too much economic disadvantage.
>>2152410I haven't watched yet but yeah, you're not gonna rush these new macro maps. Foolish to throw a tournament on old cheese.
>>2152406Have you seen snow's win rate against terran? If you don't care for statistics he says it himself it's his best matchup. He can use Reavers in ways virtually no other player could.Not even top Terran players like Light would be able to take him on at this point. Barracks is a 2nd rate player that won 3 - 4 using builds given to him by Flash against an opponent that was way out of shape and he only did so by literally gambling.Sorry I too like rooting for the underdog but I'm just being realistic.
Better late than never. CHILLShttps://youtu.be/joE1RjvL3Yw?si=0ZOxD8ZnoC96Zj5y
>>2152417Lol barracks breaking down crying in the aftermath interview
>>2152416I still can't forget that Snow vs. Speed game. you know the one. I'm happy for Speed that he is doing pretty well even after something like that. If I had a game like that I'd just stop playing
Praying Larva or Soma go through as they are the only ones that stand some chance against Snow. Plus who the fuck would want a mirror match final
>>2152406>>2152426https://youtu.be/GS6hTW7FavA?si=nus24p0ALxAYrPh6

Don't you just wanna give him a big hug
If no Zerg goes through I don't think I'll even bother watching the round of 4
barracks fucked up game1 so bad. late siege, keeping everything in the lowground ditch. i dont think he can win...
STOP LOOKING ME LIKE THAT I MIGHT FALL IN LOVE
why do gookreans like poeple with bug eyes?

sex sex
he did the thing!
>>2152835>tfw she succ
>barracks doesnt see the island base in roaring currentsman, barracks is just making it harder for himself than needs be.
game3 was great from barracks while mini just played like shit lol. how do you manage to keep losing reavers?
>people complaining about spoilers at comment section on tastosis ASL cast where else are people supped to post about the game, jesus christ. Fucking brainrot
>>2152729It's a misguided way of trying to be encouraging while attempting to give him time to compose himself
nice try on the rush in game6. too bad jinjin already spoled it for me that there'd be a game 7. i hope barracks' double barracks wins.
hahahahaha mini got fucked. im glad barracks made it.
I LOVE BARRACKS!!! GO TERRAN!!!
>>2153055>*blocks your path*
>>2152761But when will he cut his fucking nails
>>2152729to fill dead air and keep the show going while not being completely awkward. no one is going to enjoy waiting for Barracks to get himself together while nothing happens.
>>2152729Yeah this >>2152988 but I think at least a part of her did it with intention. Look at her more unfiltered personality https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw1NNw3CRGA She's the kind of person who doesn't hold much respect or pity for people she perceives as weak.
Man Effort was way too aggressive, he should have adapted better after a couple losses, how disappointing.Soma is the only person left who has a chance at beating Snow.
terranbros...
WE ARE SO BACK SC2SISTERS!!
>>2153807Yikes

Detecting.
>>2138452>Why are Terran players so fragileNo one else could put up with the things Artosis puts up with.
>>2151841Snow isn't just up against Barracks, he's up against Flash and all other top Terrans who will train Barracks and feed him strats as they have nothing to lose.
>>2154381>barracks ends up losing because he used the good builds already so he asks Artosis for builds and then never takes a third
he will do ithe will save the white race
Soma has to win against Best and then Bisu/Larva for Snow to have any chance of losing the finals.I actually hope Larva gets eliminated so that all these weeks Soma can focus 100% on vs Protoss uninterrupted practice while Snow still has to do some vs Terran training to dispatch Barracks
>the dumbest terran sans Leta>one of the fastest players>usually has no chance, but he's the only terran left>all other Terrans can just put their thoughts into his dumb empty headhe's unstoppable
zero space bros how are we feeling now that how brothers were miscarried?

It's gonna be so sad when Snow 4 - 0s Barracks. Poor (34 year old) kid
We'll see if old man Snow can make it to the studio in time with his crutches.Poor (32 year old) grandpa
>>2154814>>2154819>Barracks is older than SnowBizarre. Barracks looks 15 years younger
>>2154892I was thinking Snow was like 38 and Barracks was 31
I'll consider it an achievement if BarrackS can steal 1(one) game from SnOw
>>2155539I'm mostly concerned about who barracks will beat in the finals after he's done with Snow.canon.
>"exciting tvz">look inside>muta harass into defiler lurker ultra>z winWhat an absolute nigger raceLiterally what can t do unironically

>>2155673valkyries
As for the zerg question, what if we make a map with a bunch of islands that the terrans can secure with their air superiority and easier movement between bases?

>>2157332Thanks man
>>2157335no problem :)
Jesus this was the worst day of asl20 so far. What a trainwreck
>>2157456Can't be as bad as the zerg player who lost 9 drones and 2 zerglings to 4 zerglings. He just moved his drones around in a circle for 20 seconds while the enemy's lings kept attacking. Quotes from pros about this series include the famous "Not even prime savior could throw this game."
If Bisu doesn't take Soma out it's over for Snow
Soma played like a complete retard today, Best was just even worse. No idea why you're all hyping him up so much.
>>2157652Snow's PvZ is worse than Best's. It's not that Soma is amazing, just that he can beat Snow while neither Bisu or Best could because it's PvP
>>2157671>Snow's PvZ is worse than Best'swut
>>2157676You heard me
>>2157629>>2157652>>2157671>>2157676>>2157685Zergschizo here. Haven't been in the threads to avoid the cacophony of the Terrannies after the major upset. Suffice to say that:1. A Zergchad lieutenant will likely take it. Probably Soma, though Larva also looks good so far.2. Effort, as well as Zero and Jaedong, should be recycled into the spawning pool already. They've done nothing but embarrass themselves as players and drag the Zerg numbers down for the past five years. 3. Fuck Barracks and Terrannies.
Imagine the tears and seething when Zerg wins another Asl despite no Soulkey>WAAAAAH ITS SO IMBA PLEASE MAKE ANTIZERG MAPS
Such a pisspoor performance from Best
>>2157419
>>2157780All you need is to introduce actual island maps back into the professional scene in order to balance zerg.

>>2158239>remove terrannies' penisesWhat changes? Nothing.
Why so much hate against Barracks? I give him 40% chance to beat Snow.
>>2158640You don't actually believe this
Snow 4 - 0s Barracks Soma 4 - 3s BisuSoma 4 - 2s SnowThere's my prediction
>>2158640>40%Actually true. Terrannies are even favored against Tossers. Check the current year win rates on ASL maps.
>>2158672Behold. There is only ONE map with positive PvT, and it's only by 0.4% (ZERO POINT FOUR)! Absolutely disgusting. Ban Terrannies.
Soma X Bisu will essentially be the true final>If Soma gets through Bisu he definitely also wins against Snow>If Bisu beats Soma he will inevitably be crushed by Snow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm8TwnsmwXYReminder that Soma LITERALLY HYDRA BUSTED, i.e. played him as if he was a Tosser, i.e. forcefully feminized, Flash on ladder.
>>2158757How come in interviews and shit his eyes are almost permanently twitching but when he's playing it doesn't happen? I thought tics were uncontrollable?
>>2158836it's only active near a f*male
Does BarrackS have a gf/wife? What's his instagram?
After that god tier first game Larva really disappointed. It was like Effort vs Snow part2
arty gone for two weekswhat should I watch at night now?

>>2159245his stream is literally unwatchable with all the ai voice spam
Soma's performance was shaky. I doubt he'll win vs Bisu let alone Snow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiZbUR-UMfIit's up
me maek hydra. me win!
me maek ling. me win.i guess zerg is for the really smart players lol
>>2159390Tragic. At least Bisu vs Larva were more entertaining
>>2159390I liked it.
I know he's a great player and he probably deserves it and Protoss fans could use an asl but I just don't want him to win, idk why but I just don't. Simple as
>>2159406Zerg is strong because their 3 base units, ling/hydra/mutalisk, are just all around strong units with little micro, and mutalisk becomes exponentially stronger with good micro.Terrans and Protoss need to rely on spell casters to win the game, specifically versus Zerg. It's game over if protoss loses their templars with energy or if a vessel dies early (you want to save your vessels and irradiate spam) Zerg is so strong because their basic units that they make every game are just much better than the other races.Hydralisks have the best unit control / pathfinding AI in the game, it's a pleasure to control them. They have double the health of a marine, you don't need to split them like terrans do.The Zergling is one of the very few units that has a DPS upgrade without a drawback, AND it's a passive ability that you upgrade once and forget about it. Yeah, stimpack is nice but it costs Health and APM (time management). Zealots do the same DPS at minute 1 and minute 30.

>>2159644ChatGPT mostly agrees. Just to let you know, anon at home, ChatGPT is strictly better than Liquipedia which has some articles that are outdated by 15-20 years.ChatGPT is surprising very good at Brood War content.
>woah, AI repeated what I fed it! so smart!
>>2159976Except that post was criticisms with the original text, specially the mech transitions or ignoring different harder scaling comps.
>>2159963I wonder what pros use AI to get better. It's already possible to have an LLM go through every single game your opponent has played that has been recorded/uploaded/casted and it will tell you "XXX never opens early pool on this map in the past 200 games, you should play greedy."I know in the chess world some players use AI more than playing each other in person or versus randoms on the internet.

I feel like it's kinda set in stone now.Bisu vs Soma is a toss up, but regardless of who wins, they're still gonna get destroyed in the finals against The Last Terran.
Bisubros, can we do it?
When I was watching the games I asked my gf if she thinks that bisu is hot and she instantly said yes, that never happened before. Also MCR is her favorite band.It's over...

We are watching Steve Young-hohttps://www.twitch.tv/stevejungschttps://www.twitch.tv/stevejungsc
How did Calm become this revered figure that top tier pros go to for advice and builds when he has no real significant achievements from his own play?
his steam is big
he's not, he's just memeing around
>>2164507Because strategy and how fast and precisely you can move your wrists and fingers are very different skills. His nickname is Brain Zerg for a reason
Starcraft gamerhttps://youtu.be/X6Y-Ks4Dcmo?t=2324
There is LITERALLY no point to going hatchery before pool. T an P can produce workers and attacking units from different buildings, Z cannot. T and P can wall, Z cannot. Therefore, hatchery before pool often results in a lower worker count and supply since Z is forced to use the extra hatchery to make zerglings, especially since cannot wall and can be forced to do this by just two zealots or three marines. There is NO "economic opening" for Z. Anyone who insists otherwise is a redditor faggot.
>>2164638You build hatch first for more drones. Why build lings for defense when you can just make more drones and sunkens.
>>2164638retard
Praying to the Xel Naga that we don't get a Snow vs Bisu finalsI don't care if Snow ends up winning but at least make it against Soma
>>2165169finals will be barracks vs soma and barracks wins 4-0
>>2165125>>2165166You can be FORCED to make zerglings by just ONE T or P unit.
final will be barracks (flash) vs me. i can maybe win if i get enough support from /vst/.

i thought soulkey was a bonjwa that could easily win ZvZ and it was just a coincidence he dodged every ZvZ
he already won so much, he doesn't give a fuck any more
>>2166536You must have not watched all the round of 16 selection ceremonies where he deliberately manipulated the placements to dodge all ZvZs. The one year he beat Hero in the finals it was basically a coin toss game where he got lucky
buddy... it was a sarcastic post...
>photon/spore/turret now deals splash damage in a tiny area around their main targetAre fliers fixed?
>>2166536>>21665481. There is nothing wrong with Soulkey's ZvZ.2. ZvZ is the dumbest matchup, due to Z being the worst race, that all Zs should avoid if they can help it.3. "Being good at ZvZ" has never been relevant since the top players have always been T and P, with just TWO exceptions: Savior's MSL episode, and Soulkey's four ASLs.
