SOULKEY VS FLASH
twitch tv/gsl
i knew i find this thread, B U M P
#NoZvZFinalsFuckThatShit
can this one go on for more than half an hour pls
is this the first official match flash has played vs sk since his loss in the team league finals? that match just confused me.
I'M RIGHT ON TIME TODAY LADS, GONNA WATCH IT ALL, HYPE AS FUCK LET'S GOOOOOOO
why the fuck do so many koreans have the bieber-helmet of hair-haircut?
>>378305418
it,s tvz, those can last a good while once defilers are out
Original OP, what are you doing? I can understand me having to make the thread yesterday, but to miss another?
How do you kill a God?
holy fuck let's goooooooo
>it's a rapid episode
thanks man, I was trying to make it but 4chan blanket bans my IP from making threads a couple of days a month for some shit ass reason. And I refuse to pay gookmoot money for a pass to get around it out of spite.
I hope it's fixed by the finals, this shit is getting annoying as fuck
Please no ZvZ finals, Flash is my boy
>couldn't partake in last nights thread due to jewish trickery with the captcha
I almost wish they had Artosis casting solo.The kinder surprise stuff was pretty funny though.
>>378305476
>>378305476
nice man, I always look forward for your OC pics
Why is rapid so shit?
>>378305521
he isn't.
I don't think SoulKey has much of a chance boys, and I was expecting Shine to win last night too.
Also, someone kill Rapid please.
>>378305521
He was cute yesterday - give him some time.
literally just got caught up on last night's games, great timing for tonight's to start. expecting a complete shitshow since every series so far since ro8 started has been complete meme retardation.
JESUS CHRIST SHINE WAS A GOD LAST NIGHT FUCK THE CAPATCHA PROBLEM LAST NIGHT
WILL FLASH BRING THE RULER??
fug I missed last night's thread
Where's the MSPAINT OP?
WILL WE SEE THE RULER?
WILL FLASH MEASURE HIS OPPONENTS CHANCES?
>>378305326
THE HYPE IS TOO MUCH BW IS ALIVE
wow it's been a long long time since I followed competitive brood war. Are these held often?
>>378305476
>>378305459
yeah, every time I try to make a thread I get this screen, and if was going to buy a pass before, I'm sure as hell not going to now. I'm not paying to do something I've done for years for free.
>being a child is idolising protoss
>being an adolescent is honing your skills on the edgy alien zerg
>being an adult is realizing that the Terran were the best race all along
their set of abilities is aesthetically pleasing, the matrices of power weaving into eachother strengthen my body and my soul. Soulkey will win this with his artistic superiority alone, not even counting his superior skill
>>378305646
Didn't miss much, captcha wasn't working, only pass users could post.
I was always rooting for flash, but I really, REALLY hope he stomps soulkey into the dirt. I'll fucking shoot myself if I have to watch a ZvZ finals.
TvZ Flash v Shine on the other hand will make me split my pants
>>378305646
you missed shit all, captcha was fucked so only 2/3 fuckhead swith the pass could post in the thread. Even worse it was fixed like 10 mintue after the end of the serie
>>378305670
Yea, check the officail pages and when ever there is a game we normally have a thread
>>378305718
Passfags just can't compete.
Fellow bw fans, reminder to say hydrated.

I have nothing against soulkey but PLEASE WIN FLASH
>>378305774
>mfw I have exactly the same body type as flash
I should really exercise more.
>>378305725
I love soulkey but pls no ZvZ finals. Flash vs Bisu in the loser match would be fun to watch though.
Man, I love how even though nobody thinks Shine will even have a chance in the grand final but the entire audience is rooting for him because you just can't not.
wait do they set this whole studio up and get a crowd in for one half-hour long series per day?
Flash raping insect zergloids for the rest of ASL
Anyone thinking these zergs have a chance is a retard.
my body is ready
>>378305980
Shine is the ultimate underdog story
Literally a fucking observer winning games
It's like a fucking anime plot
>>378305326
SHIT I'M LATE
WATCHING NOW
HOLD ME TIGHT BROS
>>378306017
a good series can go for 1.5 - 2 hrs, but sometimes, yes. It's like boxing, sometimes it goes the full number of rounds, sometimes it's over in 2 minutes.

The comments were gold.

>>378305980

no bag of tricks is gonna do shit against him
yeah i would love it if shine win but yeah i just dont see it

hopefully andromeda is a bit kinder to Soulkey, because he has absolutely 0% chance on Camelot, that map is impossible for zerg
When is tasteless back, anyway? Will he be there for the 3rd place match? The finals?

>>378305326
Dead, soulless eyes.
>>378306807
Don't forget that shine was a top-15 player in ~2010. He's only the underdog because he has a life outside of starcraft.
Also he was definitely the favourite vs bisu, if you actually thought bisu was going to win you are retarded
>>378306459
Where is the "Zzzzzzzzzzzzz" guy, i loved that guy, man i miss 2010-1
What was the flash song that played in his intro? i cant find it

>>378307160
it's kind of seen as disrespectful to forcefully keep your opponent in the game when you've clearly lost. Sometimes you'll see them stay in the game until their main base is being destroyed but it's pretty desperate.

They mostly happen in a situation where your army dies and your base is laid bare to an entire army free to do whatever they want with it
Surely they could try to sneak out a worker and rebuild shit from start hidden, but there's no way in hell you'll catch up, better to just accept defeat

To be fair, I don't blame Soulkey for 4pooling. zerg has basically zero chance on Camelot if you don't cheese because of how ludicrously terran favoured the map is. And that's against a normal terran. Against flash, that map is impossible in a normal game. I'm honestly surprised that flash wasn't expecting it.
even Flash couldn't get mad at this meme

They can recoup if the other player fucks up worse than they ever should at that level of play. gg translates to "I'm not going to spend 5 minutes of our time to see if the ASTRONOMICAL chance of you fucking this happens"
>shine cringing cause Soulkey stole one of his builds
I could legit see this lol
>>378307853
Soulkeys 1 WAS a fucking 4 pool, still doubt he's going to get out of this.
>>378307853
Nah, flash is pretty set.
Soulkey only got one in due to supreme cheese.
>>378307814
>Admitting that yellows shit all over whites in SC means he thinks he's "ubermensch"
>>378305521
He tries too hard to be funny/relevant and he doesn't understand BW but he the way he talks he acts like he does. It's especially annoying when does play-by-plays.
If the guy just relaxed more, let Artosis take the lead and didn't act like he came straight out of Reddit he'd do much better.
Why couldn't it be Wolf instead of Rapid? Wolf is actually pretty good.

>>378307918
Gotta admit that it was brilliant cheese though, Soulkey had everything on point. The overlord scouted the barracks, he sent two lings to control marine spawn, he microed his ling well against the SCVs. It was really well done.
>>378307918
>Soulkey only got one in due to supreme cheese.
He also got pretty lucky that Flash was doing something weird too. If Flash had a regular build with barracks in his base, he would have held it.
>>378307972
>4ch@n Cup is filtered but BLACKED.COM is ok
welcome to nu-4chan
>>378305521
He's a dweeb and knows it, so he's insecure, and tries too hard.
I've found him more tolerable last few matches since he seems to have relaxed a bit.
You can tell he tries to memories quips and quotes to use during matches, and he typically messes them up. He botched both the 300, Star Wars, and Conan references last time.

>>378308620
>don't mind me, just let me drop an entire army into your base
where was soulkey's army during all that last drop phase? I didn't see jack shit, was it all in defilers and mutas? There was literally nothing at his base.
Actual question here, it always seems like flash has a ton of units in production at all times, and whoever he's playing against manages to hold out for the first push then it's like they go into standbye without actually rebuilding their army and then loses. What gives?

scourge and sunkens :^)
firebats work under dark swarm right?
Repeat of S1-2.
Semi-Finals are hype matches. Finals are one sided.
They keep letting weak players win through one bracket, while the stronger one wins on the other.
Flash fucking messed with the brackets, unbalancing his group turning it into an easy win.
Flash and Shine already met recently, and Flash convincingly won. Shine had a lot of tricks, and they did damage, but Flash was able to defend enough, and get through. Shine WANTED to face Bisu, since he has a 5:5 record with him, and his game against him is strong. Shine may have lost if he had faced anyone else.
Luck means he's in the finals.
>>378308820
250 extra HP, I think. Would have taken a couple of extra scourge if Flash hadn't wigged em out juking and jiving like that.
>>378308820
Not armor, a standard hp-shield.
>>378306971
I respect how wacky yet concise a lot of Korean commercials are.
>>378308841
>o-one mrillion sukens and scourge
>>378308841
Soulkey was hurting for larva. He would have looked like a genius and probably won if his scourge had got the dropships
>>378308842
Flash probably has the best macro out of all Brood War players, others just can't keep up. Macro also counts for a lot when it comes to winning RTS games of any kind, which is why Flash is one of the best players.
>ever doubting Flash
>EVER
The man literally never loses except for the odd honeypot LAN.
I like the big sweaty bag man of random zerg strats, but he stands no fucking chance. Nobody does until Flash turns, like, 35.
>>378308907
>Finals are one sided.
>Against the madman that is Shine
Doubt it.
>>378308961
>>378308842
Flash is the best BW player there has ever been, that's what.
>>378308905
They've got splash damage I think, so that should be a yes
Do Koreans have an issue with stinky cars?
>>378308841
he was hunkering down to go to the next phase of Ultras. Flash did a timing attack right before he was ready.
>>378308905
Barely. they have a small splash component, but most of the attack is still ranged. Firebats win vs zergling under swarm but you need a shitload. a few will get cut down ez
>>378308994
could someone explain this gif?
>>378308841
His econ was fucked because he made so many sunkens.
I think we wanted to darkswarm the sunkens until he could get ultras out, but Flash moved before the Defilers were out
>>378308841
In retrospect, despite managing to holding off the attack at his natural, soulkey had to sacrifice all his mutalisks to do so and that allowed flash to abuse the period of vulnerability to pull off that drop.

>>378308994What's happening here?
>>378308842
Flash 10/10 Micro and 10/10 Macro.
Other players are 10/10 Micro, and 7/10 Macro.
>>378308841
its time
>>378309043
dark swarm doesn't do anything to buildings. he's just a fucking retard
>>378309031
>could someone explain this gif?
When Flash started off he would make odd facial expressions. He stopped doing it.
>>378308907
>5:5 record
That's a bit misleading, bisu wins random proleague matches but shine wins all the tournament sets
>>378308994
>>378309031
>>378309057
Look at the mini map, looks like he just got gateway rushed and only just scouted it
>>378309101
I really wish terror had qualified for this season.
>>378309109
actually I get what you mean. I take that back
>>378309069
Best has better macro
>>378309123
Well, now the record is 8:6 for Shine.
>>378309162
Isn't he banned or something? I remember something illegal or scandalous.
>>378309101
Based Dragon
Does Dragon still stream btw?
>>378309162
he not very good anymore
I fully predict that Koreans will stick with this old version of BW and not adopt the new patches or HD version.
Both ASL and SSL tried the new patches for a few matches, and then quickly went back to the old version.
>>378309162
For some reason he decided to play Protoss during the preliminaries.
>>378309162
whats with those disgusting walls
>>378307270
The only time you won't see a predictive GG is when two playes reach endgame and base trade and both of them still have a chance to scrap out a win.
Like it might have seemed premature the previous game to you, but Flash was only seconds away from destroying critical tech and production buildings, completely shutting Soulkey down.
Remember, they have to maintain morale and focus for the entire series. Continuing a fight you have clearly already lost is not conducive to this. Al though it does happen that a very confident or endurance style player will drag things out specifically for that reason, to wear out his opponent.
>>378309251
Trying out a new patch in the middle of the tournament was dumb to say the least, if given time to get used to it and study properly it could work out
You're probably right about HD tho
>>378309330
Like I said I'm kinda new to all this, so I'm kinda blind to some of this stuff
Also, what's a base trade?
>>378309439
Both armies in eachothers bases fucking shit up.
>>378309439
You trade bases.
>>378309483
>>378309495
well, I feel dumb now
>>378309539
We all started somewhere anon. The more BW fans the merrier.
>>378309439
when they attack each others bases and try to destroy all buildings, in sc you autolose if you dont have any buildings left even if you're 200/200 iirc
>>378309439
A base trade is when the players attack the enemy base and don't defend theirs. They give up their base with the hope of destroying the enemy base before their own base can be destroyed.
This can either end the game, or the players can save some workers and build bases in other places, maybe even the remains of the enemy base.
Can't stop staring at the turrets ever since i learned there's a dude sitting there
>MORE sunken spam
>sloppy Muta control
No, Rapid, you dweeb. Flash's defenses are just great. It makes perfect sense to poke aroudn with the Mutas. You need to. If he found one chink in the armor he'd punch through.
>>378309594
WHAT THE FUCK
>already got to midgame
GG, Flash already won go next.
I don't know much but all these sunkens can't possibly be good, right?
>>378309572
which gives terran a bit of cheese power in certain cases, because they can float their bases
toss can also cheese by spamming random pylons on the map
Zerg are fucked
>>378309702
Right?
>>378309717
soulkey needs them to stall but yes they're very costly for him
He has like 8 mutas, and flash has 50-100 marines. Is zerg just not building any units, spending everything on upgrades or what?
>>378309771
guy is probably projectile vomiting at the rate that those spin
>>378309842
You thought those were missiles?
How to win as terran:
>Spam Sci vessels
How to win as Protoss:
>Spam Arbiters
>>378309826
mutalisks aren't as good right now. he needs to tech to defiler ultra and that's a lot of gas
>>378309842
I imagine they have sort of a gasmask like you see on fighter jets, but his gasmask vacuums out the puke and stores it on some puke tank
Then >>378309910 happens
COWS
Holy shit
There is no cow level
Those fucking ultras
For the swarm!
where are the fucking tanks
>>378309842
I'd assume that the turret gets manned when it shoots. When it spins the operator chills inside the tower while the spinning turret scans.
was that a 16 kill ultra?
>15 kill ultralislk
ZvZ final?
I have no idea why Flash didn't do the mech switch
Oh fuck flash is dead

Afreeca is more about how a lot of the old "legends" are washed up.
Flash is still on top.
SK is up there with Flash. He's almost or at Flash's level.
This shoudl have been the finals.
Did NOT expect a game like that from SoulKey, crazy match.
PLEASE WIN FLASH, I DONT WANT A ZvZ FINALS!
>>378310335

SOULKEY IS GONNA WIN

>>378310364
He likes to give good shows. He probably threw this game to make it a good show because good shows bring more fans and more fans make him more money.
>>378310456
Because ZvZ is bad. What a stupid question.
please don't let this last match be cheese
>>378310464
You can't do it pre-game.
Can someone explain me why in Match 2 F-God made his barracks so far from his main base?
>>378310456
Because they're coinflips
Which are bad
>>378310405
They're getting ready their poisoned chalice for SK to celebrate his victory.

>>378310464
meme-magic cannot be forced, sorry anon.
It has to come from the heart of many.
>>378310520
Early agro to keep Zerg in check. Literally the only thing that can counter it is 4pool which is what happened.
that plague won soulkey the game. flash couldn't move out without his vessels getting rekt and they were all he had to deal with the ultras.
Toasted CHEESE sammich inc
>>378310541
Agreed. /v/ gets shittier and shittier every year, but the 4cc is consistently good shit.
>>378310520
it was a ''proxy'' barracks
Basically reduce the travel distance of the marines, so there is much lesser chance that the zerg will have unit that can combat the rines and stop a bunker from going up.
Unless you 4 pool, but nobody does that at this level ;^)
>>378310456
I remember zerg season 2009 with the OSL finals of Jaedong vs fake yellow and the MSL finals of Calm vs Kwanro within a few weeks of each other and it wasn't great
>>378310552
Well one of them is going to have to win, Anon.

can I do it now?

he's not psychic.
He has an earpeace and they are telling him what to do. They want to do everything to avoid ZvZ finals.
>>378310918
SCvs are the only unit who could as both mech and bio. They can be repaired and healed by medics.
>>378310992
>he's not psychic.
Yeah, it's Starsense
You're out at the club with your natural set up & mining then this motherfucker slips $20 down your pocket, telling you to throw the game.

Marines are also guys in little metal suits.
Obviously medics can patch up small amounts of metal, but nothing on the scale of tanks or buildings, and SCVs repair tools are too big to repair marines. SCVs on the other hand, are just small enough to be fixed by medics and just large enough to be fixed by other SCVs.
>>378311662
Flash
WTF THAT SCAN
HOW
what was that song just now?
If flash had not scanned those cocoons he would have been smashed so fucking hard by soulkey.
I almost can't believe that he managed to scan that, I guess that is the flash starsense. Crazy.
I can't wait to see what crazy shit Shine is gonna pull in the grand final. That was a good series
>>378311668
>>378311664
Thanks senpaitachi(families)
Soulkey is so fucking shit.
>soulkey was really desperate

Soulkey, what the fuck, just hang in the deadspace under the mineral patch and deny the natural.
>>378311542
they're cyborgs
>>378311704
God is omniscient, he sees all.
>>378311715
well he had several signs to scan
No third by Soulkey and the mutas returning to a certain spot, so might've just tried to check muta count
>>378311542
>5/60 health, vehicle almost destroyed, driver badly mutilated
>>"oh don't worry, you'll get some repairs"
they add extra plating to compensate
>55/60 health, metal armor slightly damaged
>>"a medic can patch you up"
dump some nanomachines on him, son
>>378311715
1. He's cheating.
2. He's not, and he saw the mutas go down there and suspected something sketchy.
To know your opponent and their strategies so well you can just guess what he's going to do and where he's going to do it, Flash isn't playing a video game anymore, he's playing a pure mind game.
>>378311715
>I can't wait to see what crazy shit Shine is gonna pull
Shine won't even get to third base in any of the games. There is no reason to watch that crap.
And then next season Flash is just gonna give himself the easy path again.
>>378311772
hell no
the uef already fought a purging war over all transhumanists long before dumping people away into the stars
>>378309721
Zerg by their nature tends to have the higher number of expansions, not to mention Hatcheries are their production buildings.
They don't need to build a bunch of factories/warpgates to get a new main up and running.
>>378311372
The comp is Hydra + Guardian, not Ling + Guardian
Lings can't shoot up to cover against Wraiths or Sci Vessels.
NONE CAN STOP THE GOD

>>378311945
Tip of the spear my boy, oh yes.
>>378311905
Shine did that vs. Mong. Watch that series. He used Guardians after losing his pool and Greater spire. He went all in and won.
>>378311905
the guardians would've worked if it wasn't for the miracle scan desu
I actually think Shine will win against flash. Even though he's the lesser player, he'll get a couple build order wins and flash will choke a couple matches.

Shine is a gimmick player. He can't face against Flash.
What did he face to get here:
>Zerg
He's legit great at Z vZ.
>Mong
Decent, but weaker player.
>Bisu
He's good vs. Bisu.
He faced the BEST set to get this far. He can't take a real player like Flash.
As usual, the ASL's have a weak player vs. a strong one. S1-2 were one sided affairs.
All these Shine haters. How can you hate an underdog that makes his games interesting with creative plays?

http://www.strawpoll.me/13058585
Shine will win
You can tell they really wanted a JD vs. Flash finals or semi finals.
Well, that was excellent.
Goodnight faggots.
>>378312260THINGS THAT BOTHER YOU NEVER BOTHER ME
>>378312275

He doesn't do cheese, he just does unorthodox.
You can predict Flash will put up a scouting Supply depot in Andromeda to prevent a hatch + Nydas like he did vs. Mong.
>>378312260
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbeVHOTEcMI
>>378310456
ZvZ finals are bad when you have two shitters who do rushes and all in timing attacks.
Endgame ZvZ is glorious.
>>378312372
Maybe they should fix their retarded group selection then.
Shine almost beat Flash on the most terran favoured stage in the ro16 groups
>>378312529
It should be a lottery + rules for max amount of races per bracket.
>>378312529
or maybe The Dong should've been not utter shit
>>378310774
It would be hilarious
>>378312454
Endgame ZvZ happens like 1/20 games, and even then it's just muta/devourer/queen packs flying around the map hunting for eachother and never engaging. and when you do it's a literal numbers game of 22 mutas beats 20
At least PvP you get the satisfaction of those scarab pops deciding a match.
either way, all mirror matches are inferior.
>>378312529
or maybe jaedong should get good again
>>378312631
TvT is decent.

It's a shitty twitch channel that plays mostly sc2 casted by an obnoxious neckbeard that thinks he's not a neckbeard and a fat , ugly girl that clearly doesn't give a fuck about the game but likes the attention she gets.
>>378312734
Older matches seem to be more interesting.
Did they just find a new meta now that is more boring?
>>378312796
The valks came out too early for the sprite bug to have an effect. Early valks is a legit build.
>>378312796
Valkyries only bug out when there's tons of units, this only matters for 2v2 max supply and UMS type stuff. Valkyries have been used in TvZ for about a decade.
Looks like this thread is autosaging, sadly.
I'll see you nigs on tuesday, hopefully I can make a thread but if 4chan keeps blocking my ISP from making threads I might just have to fork out the money to gookmoot for a pass so I can at least make a thread for the finals. I may even drawfag a picture for it if I get time.
>>378312796
>Fixes Valks
the bug only happens when you get near top popcap, which was far away so that is a non-reason.
Valk builds are rare but are absolutely viable against Zerg
>>378312734
TvT can be just as shit as anything else, just take the Flash vs Last games last week. TvZ can be just as good as TvT in the late game as we saw today.

TvZ, TvP, TvT, and PvZ are all great

ZvZ is tolerable in small doses e.g. a proleague match but I don't want to watch a multi-game zvz set. There's not enough variety.
