I'm just a few years younger than tastosis, I first played SC in 1999, I remember playing hundreds of comp stomp games, a ton of games on Big Game Hunter, and many many ladder matches on Lost Temple. 20 some years and 2 kids later, here I am watching tastosis cast in middle of the night. Glad to see Tastosis still living the dream in Korea, and that the SC community is alive. Thanks AfreecaTV.
Playing SC and BW on CRT monitors, with a ball mouse and membrane keyboard, on dial up internet, those were the days. I remember lugging those massive 19 inch CRT monitors as a kid to actual LAN parties
I went and played the mass recall mod(sc1 campaigns in sc2 engine) and its just like the good old days. To slay the beast is way easier than i remember, probably cause zerg is easier to control in sc2. the terran campaigns though are like pulling teeth. sc1 terran feels so slow to play
@@TheCheat_1337 Not lugging it anywhere, but I'm still using a 19" CRT. It's actually great for some modern games. Dark Souls Remastered for example has 4:3 ratio options. I wouldn't want to be moving it anywhere though
Bisu will forever be my most toxic relationship. No matter how many times he'll break my heart as soon as I see him I'll ALWAYS fall back into his big protoss daddy arms.
It's very funny, though I would love to hear more from the zerg perspective sometimes. Lately Tasteless has really been stepping up his toss insight and Arty is amazing as always with terran, so it makes zerg commentary feel a bit lacking by comparison.
Larva is one if my favorite players and I find this happening alot in tournaments where he attacks his own units, not sure If it happens a lot from other players too but Larva does that quite often
@@krueppelkind Yeah, I dunno beacause Zero IS the favorite in the tournament... soma looked extremely strong and improved throughout the past leagues but I would still say Queen is just better. And maybe because Mini spanked Zero sooo hard and then the last BO3 was almost an elimination for him but that would have been a really big upset... last year's champion getting eliminated in the round of 16.
Yeah, that confused me a lot. The infographic at the start also said something about "With Flash and Queen both out of the ASL". I think they might have gotten him mixed up with Soma. Both players performed very poorly compared to what's expected of them, but only one got eliminated.
Last few games are great, I love seeing pros rush and go for cheese. The way the final game evolves (or devolves, depending on who you're rooting for) is just fantastic. You really can't tell who's gonna win until the end.
Since Snow and Bisu are my favourite players, seeing them duking it out like that was a treat. I was looking forward to this match up since Bisu came back. Sad to see Bisu eliminated but he needs to focus a bit more and have a little more patience.
Seems like he treated Snow as if he was some B class Protoss on ladder. Thought he could take his ramp with zero to sloppy micro and then harass and expand at the same time in a mirror matchup. He's probably used to getting away with that on ladder but forgot he was facing a titan.
2:32:44 Bisu split second sees the hydra spawn before the Zealot dies and can counter. Insane reaction. (Scan points this out in the other English commentary)
Seriously? In ASL8 he said this was his last before service. Then ASL9 surprise, he got an exemption due to wrist injuries. Now the story has changed again.
@@DrZygote214 I don't know why they even bother in mandatory military service. SK has twice the population of NK and way more money. They are already paying for US military presence too. Even if any war break outs, which is highly unlikely, US would have boots on the ground in no time at all. Unless the real threat is actually China.
@@songcramp66 I would be happy if they just got the story straight with flash. Seriously, in ASL9 they said he was exempt now due to wrist injuries. Now suddenly he's not exempt anymore? What gives?

I can't believe how much protoss players improved against zerg compared to seasons 9 and 10. Am I wrong does mass zealot make the difference? Honestly it feels like if protoss sends 8-10 zealots against zerg in the early-middle game they plough through everything and just don't die
@Alex Dougal I think tasteless just doesn't care or wanna react when Artosis drops comments about fatherhood or related activities dealing with children
1:50:43 King OgreZergGamer: "But OgreZergGamer can smash twice as many Protoss brains with two clubs." Tasteless just straight killed me, dying laughing!!! xD
As a newer viewer i always wondered why there was not more archons in PvZ when mutas was out. Then suddenly in one game there was six archons and Tastosis pointed it out as being a healthy sign for the protoss..
If you have perfect control, Mutas can dance forever out of range, so going Archons is a bit risky. Corsairs are generally more reliable at hunting them down in sufficient numbers, unless they get ambushed by Scourge.
Its almost rare to see even at the higher levels to end up with that many Archons vs Zerg. Even if the templar get a storm off and die they often times were cost effective. Shows that Sn0w knows how to take fights while keeping his units alive.
Larva seems like he would be a fun guy to have a beer with. Bisu on the other hand... I love his playstyle, and enjoy watching him. But the dude seems like an arrogant prick.
1:43:40 Underappreciated big brain moment. That hiding-maneuver was so slick! And it's such a blast to see Ogre Foot Gamer winning over these giant! Interesting games overall! ASL
"The ninth gate" reminds me of a trilogy of YA novels I read in middle school called the _Old Kingdom._ The books featured necromancers that would raise the dead by entering Death, which was a realm of dead souls. The necromancer could walk deeper into Death to find more powerful dead by walking through a series of increasingly treacherous gates. The ninth gate was the final gate, through which none could return. It was the starry sky above the river of the dead that would pull you into it if it was your time to die.
Poor Effort man, he has been around for _so long_ but he just does not have the experience fighting players like Bisu. Despite being such a well-known name and actually having very good TvZ (he's beaten Flash a few times, and at pretty much Flash's highest point in his career) he just does not know how to play against a player like Bisu.
Spoiler The last game was game of the year? Hell maybe even game of the decade.... So far :) I knew this group was gonna be sick and it didn’t disappoint. I’m a big fan of all 4 players.
Why are they saying, and the scoreboard saying that Queen isn't in ASL when he got through the Ro16 on day 1 with Mini? I'm rewatching these but I don't understand how they got that wrong, I mean it's highlighted in this video that Queen's still in it.
"You can't kill a pylon, this isn't Starcraft 2!" Also, I know I'm not watching these right when they come out, but please get a proofreader for the subtitles. I've watched the games so I know they were talking about proxy gates and not stargates, but errors like this are just weird.
That look on Artosis face when tasteless says he mostly DT rushes in pvp - like, "I can't believe I let this man in my house" type of look. Give in to the cheese arty
i am fan of Bisu, but god damn he is not able to make progress for several seasons, looks like he stuck, maybe he needs more Dark Archons ? what u thnk Tasteless ?
True. He did mention that he hasn't reached the level he had before going to the army. And that his wrist is injured. Guess he'll have to work harder for the next season.

Thanks Ricky!
You're a good kid, I don't care what anyone else says
But u literally missed like 3 matches.
Only reason I still follow SC is because of these two. Nobody does it better as a duo.
I'm more interested in the games than who's casting it
@@MrMischelito Granted, but having content in a language that I can understand is a big help.
Preach
My sentiments exactly
Amen brother
Tasteless: "He just punched the desk then left the game"
Artosis: "Understandable"
Can't find that larva clip he talks about
Bisu will forever be my most toxic relationship. No matter how many times he'll break my heart as soon as I see him I'll ALWAYS fall back into his big protoss daddy arms.
A most fitting and eloquent analogy.
How dare you post an excerpt from my diary like this. 😛
I felt this comment profoundly lol
So poetic, this touched my heart ❤
God I love the OgreZerg meme. Tasteless doing his OgreZerg King voice had me laughing for a good minute.
It's very funny, though I would love to hear more from the zerg perspective sometimes. Lately Tasteless has really been stepping up his toss insight and Arty is amazing as always with terran, so it makes zerg commentary feel a bit lacking by comparison.
I love tastetosis. Been watching them for nearly a decade. It’s like the crazy nerd uncles I never had
Tastosis is garbage and so is anyone that likes them
Best casters for sure :) love them too
Effort vs. Snow!! Haven't had this much fun watching SC in a while. Lovely
These games were incredible. Makes me proud to be a Patreon supporter. Keep up the amazing work! ❤️
that last game by snow was insane
the goon placement at the end was so smart
1:28:05 Larva’s zergling targets his own lurker and kills it.
The lurker insulted his mom
wow nice catch. At least it wasn't a game deciding mistake or anything.
Oh man that funny to see xD

Yes, I was yelling at the screen!
That engagement was very mismanaged. What a throw... :(
I'm 20 minutes in but I just have to correct it. No, Queen is not out, Soma is but Queen moved on in second place from Group A. OK, let's move on.
Yeah that is a weird one, tasteless just agreed with that?
@@krueppelkind Yeah, I dunno beacause Zero IS the favorite in the tournament... soma looked extremely strong and improved throughout the past leagues but I would still say Queen is just better.

2:32:44 Bisu split second sees the hydra spawn before the Zealot dies and can counter. Insane reaction. (Scan points this out in the other English commentary)
haha good point. Such important scouting intel. Protoss really plays blind when expanding vs zerg.
Scan's commentary has technical superiority, but Tastosis is a lot more entertaining.
You just blew my mind. That’s awesome.
"Zeep zop zoopa bop!" - Tasteless with very insightful commentary.
:D
"something tipped him off"
Snows' music of choice is Circle of Life. What a guy
The King of Pride Rock is basically my favorite soundtrack composition of all time. He should play that when he wins.
The plott thickens :)
u punny

By the time Flash is done with his military service we'll all be speaking Korean.

Eating your opponent is forbidden ever since the incidence where horang2 ate horang1.
Wash them down with a big ol bottle of diabeetus
Mong to the finals!

In the modern era eating your opponent is considered immoral.

out of the new era of star players larva is my favorite!
I think I saw yesterday on Facebook that StarCraft was inducted into the Video Game Hall of Fame which would be a worthy achievement.
fun group, was rooting for effort but he didnt deliver today
I will always love him for his burrow play in the final he won.
Love Tastosis! Best casting Archon in the business.

Wait queen IS in the asl, he got out last in his group, why are they saying queen and flash are out of the ASL???
They probably got the names mixed. Some other prominent zerg is out (I don't want to spoil you).
Glad to see Larva move on. In the interviews he comes across as a good dude and is hilarious as well, I'm glad to see him do well.

Nice effort also with the diamond hands holding his investments :P
If you don’t know the name Bisu you should, what an absolute legend, hands down best Protoss of all time
The real name is Kim Taek Young btw
