Starts in 50 minutes.
Bisu vs EffOrt, best of 5.
For those of you in the dark, BW has been making a comeback in Korea for a while now, but this is the first English-casted finals in years (featuring pictured goofballs). If viewership is high enough tonight, it could become a regular thing. I know some of you remember the glory days.
MAKE BROOD WAR GREAT AGAIN
>>324939654
The glory days didn't have that faggot on the left.
God I miss late nights watching GomTV with /v/.
>>324939972
I miss hearing SDM talk about the benefits of monkey milk compared to cow milk during hour-long games too.
For those of you interested in the narrative, just recently Bisu faced off against streaming personality Terror (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbcPKaCSw7k) in a best of five match. Loser shaves their eyebrows. Obviously Terror wouldn't win in a normal match, so he was granted maphacks. What Bisu didn't count on was EffOrt coaching at Terror's side. He was defeated and as a result, any eyebrows you see tonight will be painted on.
>>324940063
SDM was based as fuck.
Remember when they tried to pair Tasteless with that female commentator who literally had no clue what was going on at any point in time, though? Shit sucked. You could tell that he had to try really hard sometimes not to tell her to fuck off.
>>324939972
Artosis at the very least has good game knowledge. Give it a chance, their cast of the EffOrt vs ZerO semis was great.
wait, is this a ruse?
>>324940262
Yeah, lil susie. She works in the esports scene now I think doing interviews with Koreans.
She was pretty bad as a caster.
>>324940396
No, it's real. 30 minutes now. Tell your friends.
>>324940286
Eh. I'd rather have me some old school Day9 as color commentary next to Tasteless.

Speaking of English casting, why is sc2 casting so bad? Quality neckbeards like Klazart, moletrap and Diggity basically did good casts from their mom's basements during the BW era.
Attention to all the people from the sc2 general, please off yourselves, you k-shit homo cucks.
>>324939654
Oh shit, OP here, pretty sure the finals aren't being broadcast on GSL's channel. Actual stream link:

Because these days "casting" is all about creating le ebin hype, instead of providing game commentary and analysis.
>>324940841
Noticed that too.
>>324940783
Chill, mate. They will be broadcasted on both.
Before LotV hit I was really close to switching back to BW, I even played some games on ICC to get into the feel again, but right now I really like LotV. Once they finally patch the dumb shit it will be by far the best iteration of SC2.
>>324941052
I agree but hope for a glorious coexistence between the two games in the future.
>>324941164
Legit
Probably the two most difficult competitive videogames ever
RIP Bisu's eyebrows
>>324941232
eh, I will always be more partial to rome 1 and homeworld, but yeah, SC1 was the epitome of competitive videogames.
twitch chat is autism
>>324941164
Tastless worded it well when he said that if you love one of of them you'd love the other too if you got into it.
In other words, vets should come back for LotV and newcomers should give BW a shot.
>>324941332
Getting into BW is pretty difficult for a newcomer though, even just setting up Fish/ICC can be difficult for tech illiterate retards

In 2007 BW was /v/'s premiere late night entertainment.

>>324942198
a different level.
>>324942198
Very. I was C+/B- on ICCup a long time ago. Hardest game I ever played. Currently GE on CSGO and 5.6k MMR on Dota2.
>>324941262

>>324942223
No, but I have a fuckhuge Starcraft folder.
>>324941985
>>324941262

>>324942314
I only ever managed to get C- on ICCup and I considered it an accomplishment.
HERE WE GO BOYS
ooh
its.. real.ww
>>324942494
Yeah. I really like trying hard in the games I play especially those that can played competitively. I remember playing hours of BW just so I could reach C+ on ICCup. Like upwards of 12 hours mastering builds.
>>324942198
Top tier Starcraft players have more APM than an average Moba team combined. And that's not an exaggeration.
JUST
Is there a link to the korean only stream?

It took an autistic amount of practice just to master build orders with a timer so you could get everything down to the second.
>our guy JP stopped doing state of the game years ago
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlTjgCdYxDQ
>>324942781
Since when do Japs play any PC games? Other than VNs.
>>324942781
>>324942781
because they are productive people you little weebshit
>>324942198
starcraft is much, much harder to master and offers wayyyyy more strats when you did master the race you're playing. which is logical since you don't control 1 unit but a whole bunch of them
>>324942781
Japs can't into PC games
>>324942859
No. It is no different from practicing a musical instrument. How is it autistic? Hard work is autistic now?

Anybody else playing SC2 actively? What league/rank are you?
>>324943082
it's in the OP lol
>>324943153
I just watch games now.
I play CoH2 for my multiplayer fix
>>324943153
Still diamond
Not playing anymore until TvP and TvT get fixed
>>324943153
Started a month ago, I'm plat right now, aiming for diamond before the season ends
>>324943153
I gave up on SC2 at the end of WoL.
>>324943013
no idea, i stopped playing years ago
>>324943153
Semiactively I guess. I'm in gold league and I mostly play once every couple of days to clean up the bonus pool. I kinda want to play more but I simply don't have time.
>>324943153
Dunno SC2 leagues. What is that? Are you good?
>>324943013
sc1 or 2?
>>324939654
When you say comeback in Korea, do you mean people started to remember that Korea never stopped playing it?
>>324943365
The answer is Lurkers either way. :^)
>>324943153
Stop playing in WoL when they started nerfing Zergs for no reason. Highest was ML.
>>324943420
>lurkers are just around the corner just to rape your dragoons
>>324943414

Holy shit, when did Tasteless grow a beard?
>Tasteless's big lumberjack rapist beard
What a time to be alive
>>324943514
>That facial hair
Damn, he needs to trim it a bit, but it looks really nice.
Makes me wish I could grow some :(
>>324943514
>that beard
Can never understand how people can put on a nice suit, gel their hair and then think "yea, better not trim the beard at all, that's a good look"
>>324943349
That is pretty high Masters. He should be in the top ~1k worldwide. So preddy gud.
>>324943398
No, as in a lot of the talent sucked up by SC2 is slowly trickling back into BW. Take EffOrt for instance, who had been playing SC2 up until last year.
>>324943153
first season playing again since wol and in high diamond. decent winrate vs diamonds but most times i queue into masters i lose which can get frustrating. really enjoying it though.
>best player in bw?
time is ripe for cheating scandal
wtf happened to this guy
>>324943773
He grew up, maybe you should too
>korea time with tastosis thread
i've missed thisi've never really watched brood war tho
>>324939654
is... is this real life? what's the meta like now? the last thing i knew was from 2011
I liike this remix of Daft Punk.
Anyone know the name of this remix?
>>324943840
I know your feel bro. I'm still in shock. I just finished cranking it out to some h I saved yesterday and opened /v/ one last time before bed.

>>324943765
>tfw not allowed to say savior is my favourite player anymore
Sure, he pulled a dickmove, but that doesn't change that he's THE most interesting player to watch in BW history

Is SC2 officially dead?

Oh god. The PTSD is coming back.
>>324944041
Bisu was shit at SC2 and needed to plan for military soon anyways
Not sure about Effort but he was actually a top SC2 zerg for a very brief period
holy shit they are playing starcraft 1
awesome
>>324944074
Boxer cant play anymore. Pain in his hands killed that dream.
BEEP

BoxeR is fun, but the pure genius of SaviOrs play can't be matched
>No 3 2 1 countdown
Come on. One job. One fucking job.
>>324944041
Bisu never switched and Effort is one of the few players who went back to BW.
SC2 has been "ded" for 4 years now, but there are still high quality tourneys all around and 300k people playing 1v1 ladder this season.
>This soundtrack
Oh man, how much I missed this music and the old UI

Thank you for the tip anon

He was a GOAT in a unrefined period of BW. Move him to the prime period of BW and he won't even be in the top 20 of the best players.

>>324945197
SC2 is pretty awesome now in lotv, both games are fantastic and it makes me really happy that both games are alive and well for the moment
this is why BW is a much better game
theres actually tension in games
HWAITING
GEEEGEEEEEEEEE
>>324945365
Bisu needs a 5th base soon. His main is mined out. If he doesn't break the contain, the game is over.
fuck
Tilted at 4 zealots.
>>324945378
Artosis said LotV is more like BW last time. Can you tell me why? Because I might wanna get into it.
>>324945375
Protoss in BW is actually pretty Underpowered unless your APM is above 300 or you play Protoss favored maps
>>324939654
my dick has never been harder after watching that first game
>>324945067
and how many of those are actually people and not spambots
best race
Shit I forgot how good this game was, now I remember why I stayed up til 4am every other night in high school
>No deathball
>Action all the map
>Huge maps
I miss BW. Fuck SC2.
>that kinda shitty play by both players
>>324945302
Also the game isn't subsidized. It's organic growth.
This...cannot be real...is this a dream?
>that horde of zerg moving towards the protoss base.
gaming at its finest
>>324945462
>hur dur balance in fucking broodwar
fuck them because they are fucking boring assholes you pansy
>>324945523
Game 1 man. At least a couple more and I doubt Bisus going down in 3.
>"Apologize for playing that race"
Guess the Broodwar player.
>>324945461
Bases have fewer minerals per patch, forcing players to expand into half-map scenarios with higher frequency. Multi-pronged attacks/harassment is now the standard, and it feels a lot more like BW as a result. Also the new units are great. I especially like the Liberator, it's like a Valkyrie and a siege tank combined into one unit.
>>324944756
>>324945523
>>324945457
apply yourselves
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4WAsWhQoCE
>>324945515
LotV is pretty much just like this from what's been seen so far. Watch TY vs Patience from GSL code A a few days ago.
>>324945549Welcome back Commander
>>324945614
FUCK what was that angry nerds name. Shit.
>>324945461
The economy has changed radicially, you start with 12 workers and mine out WAY faster, the result is that players need to take bases at a similar pace to BW (sometimes faster) which spreads the fighting out over the map a lot better and weakens the boring as shit turtle on 3 base type builds that were so popular during late wings and hots, the races also got a lot more tools with lotv that encourages different types of harrass and creative play. Macro mechanics also got weakened, encouraging micro.
The game is very interesting right now, and quite similar to BW with how there's constant action from a very early stage and often several fights going down at once.
We'll see how long it lasts though, SC2 pros are very coddled with the constant patching and prefer crying about balance rather than searching for a solution inside the game itself, so it's possible that blizzard ends up nerfing all the fun and interesting things, reducing the game to the bland and uninteresting crap it was in hots.
>>324945462
I would say Zerg is the weakest. Outside of a few players, Zerg players were always crushed and the latter stages of BW was dominated by Ts and Ps. Heck I remember OSL and MSL having top 8 which lack a single Zerg.
is http://afreeca.tv/NSL2 the only stream?
>>324945515
Give LotV a shot, bro.
>>324945461
There is less deathballing though still more than in BW
Also much more defender's advantage in all the matchups not involving protoss
>>324945574
>boring
>reaver drops
>corsair DT requires you to micro really hard
Protoss basically forces you to multitask really hard, its much more dynamic than LE MARINE MEDIC DROPS

GSL on twitch is doing an English cast.
>>324945656
not really, the action in LotV is still focused on 1 spot, the drops are not as exciting because its really easy to deal with it relatively compared to BW where if you cant multitask, a multipronged drop will kill you outright
Bisu gonna get 0-3 just like the SSL11 Finals vs Hero.

Zerg always had someone on the top and arguably 2 of the GOATs (maybe the GOAT if you prefer Savior over Flash)
Zerg always had July, Savior, Jaedong, Effort, etc (im pretty sure Im missing 3 or 4 who were always placing in top 3 during their era)
>>324945845
Have you heard of a warp prism? I honestly disagree
>>324945861
>>324945915

>>324946056
Jaedong, Effort were the only top 2 zergs when I still watched BW while Protoss had the 6 dragons and Terran had Flash aka probably the best SCBW of all time in his prime at BW prime.

>>324946536
Demuslim
>>324946547
Prime Boxer would get destroyed by a good amateur today
>>324946547
Are you fucking kidding? Boxer at his prime won't even beat Fantasy. Boxer thrived in an age where micro was everything and macro hasn't been discovered yet. Most games were just 2 base games. The moment Macro became a thing, Boxer fell off the face of BW. Flash however was the best player ever in SCBW imo regardless of era.
>>324946538

I have no idea what's going on but I'm enjoying it. I hope they keep doing these.

Somebody give me that rare corea pepe.
So have everyone given up on SC2 now?
Took you fags long enough. Maybe Idra can finally make a comeback and crush all the koreans once and for all.
>>324946654
nope boxer was a strategist, while all the amateurs are mechanically driven. Boxer easy 3-0 anyone in his prime on any of these maps.
>>324946502
Are you blind? Did you not see how critical every single move was? Did you not see Bisu lose control of his attacking units while the minimap showed his frantic micro at his base trying to construct a >>324946538 and micro his probes?
That was incredible and it was only a super greedy expand by protoss.
Maybe next match we will hold your hand and tell you everything that is happening faster than we can type.

But there were many more matchfixers, savior wasn't even close to the most notorious, he was a broker. He was the most famous of the matchfixers, but that's about it. Lying to his coach about his involvement was a much bigger dickmove than the minor broking he did.

>>324947402
Exactly. He allegedly didn't fix any of his own matches (probably because he had already fallen off the face of BW by the time of the scandals and nobody bet on him anyway) and only did some minor broking. He was the most famous, but far from the worst.
I thought they played back to back, whats with the long breaks?

i dont get it. this is literally normal pvz in sc2. dark templar opening and basetrade. what is so hype in bw again?
I used to watch GSL back in 2010.. Why did SC2 die? Why is BW coming back?
This is literally the most white people watching BW simultaneously EVER

Watch the aforementioned TY vs Patience match, LotV is showing promise. Don't forget, SC1 wasn't perfect from the outset either. Blizzard released patches up to ten years later. SC2 has had six.
whatever happen to Jaedong?
>>324948505
dont reply
>>324948440
the starcraft scene is like the smash scene
sc1 has a MUCH higher skill cap than sc2 (similar to melee vs smash4)
after the honeymoon phase of the new game expires, it's no surprise that watching top sc1 players is way better than watching top sc2 players
>>324948439
No roaches, less clumps, slower gameplay

WoL Zerg was fucking insanely OP in high level
Infestors ruined the balance of late WoL because people realized Infestors+Broodlord made you an infinite army for no resources
>>324948439
>this is literally normal pvz in sc2
Maybe in WoL it was. Also, it's not a DT opening but corsair into dts into reaver.
>>324948416
no teamhouse streamer diet
meh it's match fix. They probably don't want to end in 3-0.
Effor saw the gateway opening yet he proceed to make only 2 lings. He even move the initial 2 lings toward bisu base instead of use those 2 lings to kill the initial zealot going toward his main. He could have kill the gateway and forge with his hydras since cannons are out of range but he decide not to. He didn''t even try to kill it.
THERE"s NO ZERG THAT DOES NOT DO THAT IF THEY DO HYDRA OPENING.
Then he abandon his 3rd which contain TWO of his hatchets to counter attack.
Pretty lame. I know they want the get as much sponsor exposure as possible but eh.

Higher skill cap? Because the game is just old and shity? Watching this last game, it didn't appear that they did anything special. Some decent micro, but i'd argue it was better done in sc2.

Could you fucking not.

>africa tv
what the fuck
>>324944428
its true though
Boxer was a pioneer but his play was really subpar compared to the real Bonjwas
Savior is pretty much the most dominant player in the history (Flash is a choker), he dominated as Zerg when no Zerg was in the top 10

I just don't want you guys to push the muh amazing, microable, greatest game of all time, honorable broodwar here. A player of Effort caliber would not make those mistakes. he could have make initial 6 lings and win the game there.
>>324948759
Whats wrong with Toss in LotV?
Reminder that dts killing your workers give you no attack notification in BW. So it's easy to lose all your workers if you're not constantly checking your base.
>>324948684
You are clearly just blind then.
>but i'd argue it was better done in sc2.
You mean it was done more easily, since micro is a complete joke in sc2 due to MBS, clumping, better AI, unlimited unit selection, etc.
>>324948783
what? do you even watch gls? phoenixes into taking 3rd and dts is common in zvp. its just that protoss have more options now in sc2. they can go immortals, distruptors, colosssus, void rays or dts.
and in bw you just have to go reavers which is basically same thing as distruptors
So SC2 is dead?
Never played starcraft but im sure i'll get the gist while watching anyway
>>324948760
Geeeeet dunked on, zerg boy.

>A player of Effort caliber
Do you even know who Bisu is?
>>324948853
Warp is buffed even more than before due to warp prism, so gateway units have to be shit tier and protoss has no defender's advantage. Every other P game is all-in.
>>324948930
No. Dreamhack had great viewership earlier today. The casuals are definitely all gone though.

>>324949006
>not watching korean stream whether you understand it or not
I guess i became a fan out of necessity. I remember tasteless GOM days and how refreshing it was to understand commentary. Still..Korean announcers get so hyped up.
>>324948856
You are delusional if you think that effor does not notice the dt killing his worker when he only has 3 base to manage. 4 or more I'll believe it but when he has only 3 base, he definite knows but let it happen.
>>324948978
Yes, what's your point? Are you saying because it's Bisu, Effort suddenly got scare and decide not to attack his gateway and forge like he did on the 1st game?
>>324949036
Wut
DH was like 12 hours ago and it had easily 5x that for ro32 games
>>324949037
I don't need to hide that glorious toss victory.
>>324948569
And yet, HotS Zerg was even more broken. The fact that ZvP and ZvT could be forced into a stalemate using Swarm Hosts and Vipers speaks for itself.

OH FUUUUUUUCK THE DROP THE DARK SWARM
>>324949820
>>omg stale meta this is pathetic this game is shit
Because there's more to the game then just builds? There's deviation after the fast expand, then there's the micro and mistakes and how far can the player push their race. Meta is stale for the last few years after sc2 was introduce but people still play it for those factors.
>>324949768
Your chess opening prepare for all response and opening from your opponent, the same reason why protoss use those opening because it prepare their race for whatever their opponent will do.

>Arguing Starcraft vs Starcraft
Literally unending autism.
BW is harder mechanically. SC2 is faster paced.
BW has harder army movement and coordination. SC2 has more split second micro.
BW builds are harder to execute. SC2 builds are easier to punish if scouted, therefore mindgames are a lot more important.
BW has more multitasking. SC2 is more punishing.
etc etc etc
Both games are fucking hard. Both games are fucking amazing.
One is the mother of E-sports, the other is the current king of it in terms of skill ceiling and blows other games out of the water. Both are Starcraft.
when is the next bw event?

We'll be seeing more BW.
We're fucking back, baby.
