I keep thinking the same thing! I'm a great fan of Artosis, but he keeps gushing and I keep wondering how the "clearly best Terran" can keep getting his a$$ handed to him. It's not like Light is getting cheesed; he's just getting out-thought and out-played, over and over. Very weird.
@@SplashJohn The thing is that all of the pros also say that Light is the best player. Seeing him perform so under expectation is disappointing, but Artosis isn't just talking out of his ass about Light.
The first Light vs. Best game was seriously one of the sickest games I've ever seen, the arbiter recall onto Lights army + stasis was like a protoss wet dream
Best really is the best Macro Protoss. That goon movement was INSANE. He's everywhere! Shuttle played extremely well vs Light. He missed the 3 tank sneak out, got dropped, had to cancel his 3rd, and Sill managed to go carrier and get a third. Such a good game.
@@utarian7 He played hella well dude. 8 gate MAcro while going carrier somehow securing a third and somehow taking huge fights in the map buying time for carrier. I mean Light didn't play super well, but common "Quite horribly" ? Ok so that 3 tank moveout dodging the observer, canceling the third, and then doing a drop right after killing a bunch of probes is "Quite horrible"? He played really well too.
@@alexfriedman2152 No man this was not Light anywhere near his best. Light at his best wrecks Mini, and utterly destroys Rain. Light at his best, as artosis put it, has an inevitability about him. That was felt in the first game against Best. But against shuttle, he made dubious decisions. The move out was strange in the first game. The 2nd rax blind to him, transparent to shuttle, was awful, but it worked because Shuttle was even worse with his refusal to cannon. The third map Light should have vetoed (I'm counting that as bad play).
Spoiler So happy to see Best perform just like in KCM where he's kept smashing all the best Terrans this year. He clearly was hyper focused, controlled all his units all the time all over the map, and that multi-Arbiter recall was glorious.
Get ready to see a lot of mirror matchups of P and Z in this and future ASLs. Terran is looking seriously underpowered in the current meta at the top level.
I think the Best vs Light game is just a revolutionary late game PvT approach. Theoretically, if T manages to max-out in the 200 against 200 supply late game fight, the victory is almost secured. However, Best proves that buying time for Arbiter recall to the main base and destroy deports to create a long time supply block for Terrace is really good late game approach which have huge damage on economy and cut-off resupply for over 2-3 minutes of Terrence army that leads to significant Protoss advantage. Really epic game by Best.
also the recall looked really bad at first but in retrospect Best knew exactly what he was doing. Light would have won a massive base trade if Best had done a huge recall
The recall to the main destroys over 110 supply of deports. At first, Light didn't even care much and continue pushing to the main of Best, Considering no damages on the factories or other natural. However, the next 2 minutes completely change the game, the 110 supply-block makes Light spend over 1500 minerals to rebuild deports and cut-off of resupply. The end game approach of Best in late game is really revolutionary and efficient.
Thank you Best for creative arbiter use. Overall I admire Best for stepping on the gas and purely outvaluing his opponent once the opportunity presents itself, and no later. Losing to that kind of bald-faced fundamental play forces people to reassess and metas to shift. In regards to Light, you must appreciate never handing the enemy the gun with mine placement. Also good guy Shuttle letting Light keep his assimilators LOL
@@TRYCLOPS1 Best never got the gas when he took the 3rd main/expo. So when Light killed his 1 o'clock base about 58:35 he quickly was down to just the depleted gas in his main/natural. That's why by the end he was so zealot heavy. He was about 4 minutes with half to quarter of 1 base gas.
@@TRYCLOPS1 Also Shuttle/Light game 1 Shuttle didn't pick up his 3rd or 4th base gas. At 2:20:45 the guys talk about it too. He was about the last 2 minutes with only depleted gas.
To go along with what artosis said about the skill gap being larger the higher level you go, a valorant coach I watch said this that stuck out to me, “the journey from bronze to immortal is about the same gap from immortal to radiant. And another from radiant to pro play.” In the case of brood war a game that doesn’t seem to have a skill ceiling those gaps between the top 100 can be monumental
i used to hate watching sc broodwar...now its all i want in my life. SC2 really is slowly dying. Went from watching sc2 to being obssessed with broodwar. No love lost. Hope dan and nick keep commentating this for as long as possible.
I just watched some games/casts from Season 13 and I really appreciate the higher ingame sound volume. It 's just a little more immersive. You guys agree that the ingame sound could be cranked up a little bit here? Other than that, ASL+Tastosis is just the best time of the year. Thanks Tasteless and Artosis for bringing this to us.
Really good casting on this one. GIGA Hype for the first winner, and also hype on the Other guy vs the guy who got out first. He may have fumbled after, but beating the Rising Star was insane. Pros might think twice next time...
My first star league finals I watched was JulyZerg vs Best. I remember the series as July wrecked Best 3-0. But great to see Best doing well. Him and Mini are my favs to win this.
Artosis understanding of TVP is pretty flawed, he keeps being surprised by all these attacks and complaining about that but the whole idea of the speed shuttle style is you can’t let terran max and that’s what they’re constantly trading
What a head-desk day for Light. Imagine losing to one of the weakest players in the whole round, only for that player to go on and throw the very next match...
Would a build where you massed floating buildings and used command groups of units under them so they couldn't be clicked be a feasible build in bw for terran
one small thing that would be easy to do to make these casts better is to use a communication program with reduced lag, the slight silences between you guys kinda sucks and would be easy to fix
I like all the players in this group, I know Shuttle isn't on par with the rest, Rush is my favourite player, Best is like the Bills as the perennial easily likeable team of everybody so I was cheering for him, and then Light is just so good so I couldn't figure out how I wanted the group to work out but I was ok with the outcome, I need my guy to win a championship, Mini is another favorite player of mine and when I watched their finals I was rooted for mini because he had been there twice already and I figured Rush would just get the next one but that hasn't happened yet and he's due.
I wonder if we'll see a resurgence of Upgrade Terran - seems like it could be good in situations where Toss isn't optimizing to bust Terran. Probably not against Best though lol
Group selection players did not say light and snow are best. They said it off players that were Not seeded. Soulkey is up there with light and snow,artosis. For seasons now soulkey is top 3 and potentially best player rn.
I'm waiting for the scv medic team Actually what I really want to see is in a gas steal game where terran ends up with like 7 Marines, I'd love to see terran get stim and do a marine medic drop 😂😂 I feel like they'd kill probes and the odd 2 goons or so even better than 4 vultures

The angry artosis T-Shirt guy getting filmed right after what Best said about moving on the bridges with no plan was golden 😂
I want to buy that lol
Timestamp 1:49:52
Yeah, good catch!
That was actually so funny 😂
Nobody said there was no plan though. He stated his plan clearly.
I am so shocked by how much I love the ASL now, when I only used to really watch the GSL religiously. This is great. Tastosis forever!
Oh boy I've heard artosis gush about Light being the best player in the world every single day I can't wait to finally see him play!
how many times does light need to get knocked out for light to not be the best player anymore
@@andrewzhang8280i'm wondering the same thing... he's good but he choked 2 ASLs in a row...

Rush is already a better Terran player than Light.

The term GatewayMan will never get old xd
It's a decent build against FactoryMan. 😊

Man that game from Light vs Best has been one of the best TvP i've ever seen. Amazing back and forth
Getting that epic tag once falcon covers it ...
PROOOOOOOOOOOTOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Recall so broken you can get dummied but then just teleport an army into someone else's base lmao.
@@malekiththeeternityking5433when you leave your base and have no defense back home, its definitely a huge vulnerability
@@Supahvegetah Doesn't change the fact that Recall is busted as hell
really enjoyed tasteless's analysis in the first two games. offered a lot of great information. great cast!
The 360p Tasteless only adds to the flavour of the casting

@@jasonschocker941idk, I thought that the player who played better won all games of this day, no? Besides the 2 rushes between best and rush I guess
@@jasonschocker941 Terrans just play bad, Light so overrated this season imo. There was not 1 match where he played up to his skills in this ASL.
Heh, nice to open my feed and see Group C posted 22 seconds ago!

Yes, if T is getting close to maxing out, P must attempt to out-flank. Attacking head first into a mined up meat grinder is not going to work.

glad to see shuttle channeling his inner Chi Long Qua by running simulations in his head before playing these games
Lol what a reference
So where do we get the PROTOSS CAN DO ANYTHING! shirts?
I want to know this as well
I'm surprised neither of them have that in their merch shops.
i hope we keep getting ASL for at least 10 years more, goated game
Fantastic analysis on that Rush vs Shuttle game.
Great cast! Thank you ASL!
You mdfkrs, i was about to sleep, now i wont 🔥🔥🔥
Putting in overtime for this ro
Amazing Group. Thank you Tastosis!
What an epic 2nd game between Best and Light… unbelievable.
It was intense. I can't believe ignoring gas late is viable, then Shuttle does it too lol.

3+ hours? Yeah that's gonna be some TvT right thar.
surprise!
wrong ;)
great cast and some really enjoyable games
OMG those games deffinately were gamed by the players. Amazing!
Every ASL i find myself ALWAYS rooting for best.
Great games! Thank you!
Amazing Best vs Light match !
nice way to start a new day :) good morning everyone :D
Raining all day. ASL new VoD life is good! lol
THANK YOU TASTOSIS, THANK YOU ASL! STARCRAFT FOREVER
keep up the amazing work guys... i laughed a ton. "I can see my streaming..." SC BW is not dead

And you're S rank?
"Artosis keeps complaining" sorry but you just lost all credibility
But shuttle traded stupidly, and didn't even have many shuttles in the first place. Or speed even.
Shuttle was the best pick that Rush could’ve picked
good games,tx for cast
Didn't catch this last night gonna call off to work today😅 let's go Light
It was really difficult to resist watching this with no translation. Hype.
Artosis is my favorite. Greetings from Bodø🇳🇴
Pics taken before and after ASL comes out:
😐
😀
2 out of the 3 people I hope to win each season are here. Rush Best and Shine. I hope this goes over well.
What a head-desk day for Light. Imagine losing to one of the weakest players in the whole round, only for that player to go on and throw the very next match...
It was sad indeed.
Petition to set face camera of Tastosis above the unit frame!
Cure smiles are the best smiles
Guys from Poland! Hello! Great to see there! I Will be there one day I swear! :)
Ты откуда ?
Protoss can do ANYTHIIIIIING!
Great games!
sad for Light :(
