after watching so many different types of casts, i think my favorite thing about tastosis is that they are able to hype up a player to a degree that no other caster can do which makes the games that much more exciting
I was looking for time stamps ... I get to be that guy I guess? Tastosis - @12:58 Game 1 - @22:09 Game 2 - @44:55 Game 3 - @1:07:00 Game 4 - @1:44:03 Game 5 - @1:59:35 Game 6 - @2:17:51 Game 7 - @2:38:00 I know alot of ppl where all over this match from reading though the comments but man Soma seemed off / nervous this series wasnt as good as reading though comments made me believe maybe its just me! I think its coz of how i view storms peeps went nuts becouse some of the storm drops just got massive damage, Which is nice but its also a sign of the other player playing sloppy and such, Thus i dont think this series was as 'close' and as 'awesome' as some peeps claim mostly coz to me i like to view things on both sides, Soma realy seemed like he was busy or distracted by something its a shame realy. im sure you love it as a Rain fan but I try to view it neutrol my boy Light is in the finals and i dont care which of these 2 make it, Shame to see Soma play like this however.

ASL S13 is just another level. Maybe because Rain and JD (who wasn't amazing but still quite good) are back. Maybe because every single player is just constantly developing. I don't know. And this Ro4 was by far the best one I've ever seen. Thanks for the 24-year of non-stop entertainment. I look forward to what they'll be cooking next.
Game 3 @ Butter one of the best if not the best in the tournament so far. Sick series, well played by both but especially by the winner. That was awesome. GGs!
@@dirkauditore8413 Agreed, those guys are the real gamers. Unfortunately the only way to dodge those storms on your mineral line is to not play against Rain in the first place.
I love what Artosis said about feeling bad that your maxed army can't have full HP units anymore because you can't heal Protoss. I remember that mindset of just building up 200/200 of whatever my noob brain thought was the best unit with 3/3/3 upgrades and just A-moving. If you play that way, you really don't want hurt dudes.
1:10:45 I believe the 2nd gateway is a smart move after nexus first, heres my logic. With a normal gateway -> nexus -> cybernetics core build, you can only afford to build 2 probes and 1 zealot at a time while teching up. Thats all your money. By going nexus first after scouting his opponents delayed spawning pool, he is able to place his gateway after his nexus, and he is able to afford 2 probes and TWO zealots at a time whilst teching up. Thats why he got the 2nd gateway and slightly delayed his cybernetics core; because it allows him to better spend his resources and then utilize those resources to pressure the Zerg so that they are not droning up incessantly. Edit: I believe Rain was a bit wasteful with the zealots, I think you have to pressure out with your first 4/6, and then retreat, so that zerg is forced to build zerglings and not drones. You only truly push out when you have speed and +1. This is just my opinion tho, Rain is infinitely better than the game at I am. I'm just a good armchair analyst. :P
I think this analysis is pretty good. I think Rain was trying to throw soma off with an unusual timing for a Zealot harass. Unfortunately, soma countered it perfectly and minimized actual drone damage. I would have to watch that sequence carefully and count how many drones were killed + larva was made into Lings. I would say Rain was slightly ahead economically but gave up all of the map control and pressure until Zealot speed was finished. This allowed soma to recover economically and explode into the mid-game.
@@CentsOfFate64 Thank you. It is indeed always hard to tell how these types of situations go for both sides. I think that if he fake-pushed underneath the vision of the overlord at his natural he would "force" the zerg to make lings which in and of itself damage his economy by virtue of not being drones. After he pushes 1/2 way out the map, you send all but 1 zealot back and then push back out when they will trade more effectively. Again, easy to say and think these things while not playing, and I may be incorrect anyways.
Rain played like a GOD in this series. Soma has an incredible knack to just completely dismantle opponents in the early game, and Rain gave him no opportunity whatsoever. He controlled the tempo in every game and fully deserved the win. GG Rain
This match was really good. Game 2 and 3 were great. I love ASL, so many skirmishes all over the map and small mistakes that snowball into wins and losses. I love how in Brood War you almost never stabilize, it's a chaotic game when you're constantly attacking and getting attacked. Players all make mistakes, but the best are those who power through
It's honestly shocking how strong Rain looks considering the guy hasn't done pro play for yonks now. Edit: All throughout the series Rain never looked to be at a full on disadvantage. Even in games he lost they were far closer than anticipated.
Super impressed with Rain's play, it's like a mix of Bisu multitasking with Flash like game sense and macro. Soma played well but Rain was just too dam good.
Just a few seasons back, it felt like maybe Broodwar was not so balanced in the end because of PvZ. Then Mini, Bisu and Rain showed that Protoss can dominate from early to late game (well, not too late maybe, because defilers ^^) Best even used Arbiters in recent pro matches with success. The meta never stops evolving, it's incredible!
I gotta watch these next season on the days they come out... been super busy this week and now I get spoilers from the Related Videos on the right... :(
The counter shown off in previous ZvPs in this tournament was Mutalisks. If you fly a Mutaball into the Toss army shortly before a big fight, you can snipe the Templar before they can cast. Dragoons won't kill the Mutas fast enough to stop this. But Rain had air-dominance with Corsairs so often that Soma didn't get a lot of chances to do that here. In theory, Ultralisk are also pretty good against Templar, but they're just not cost effective against the rest of the army.
@@Kerostasis It surprised me that Soma did not build any early spire at all, especially when he was up against such quick Nexuses. Too bad, was hoping for a zerg in the final... maybe when Larva comes back!
Rain is truly a talented genius and his multi-tasking is just unreal. God-tier finals, just praying to Flash for no 4-0s or 4-1s, which is probably less likely now that Flash isn't in it lol.

Thanks for translating all the extra fun stuff like the interviews and the bucket-list segments!
I've been a patreon for a few years and can't let this glorious game be snuffed for the world. Much love to you Tastosis

Game 3 @ Butter one of the best if not the best in the tournament so far.
Sick series, well played by both but especially by the winner. That was awesome. GGs!
Absolutely
Holy shit, Rains play is just GODLIKE today!!
Game two was one of the greatest performances I’ve ever seen in the matchup. Unbelievable
Game 3 was amazing.
Rain's micro in those early mid-game skirmishes was perfect
Game 2 is such a masterclass from Rain.
I just want to take a minute to say that it feels like every Korean commercial is permanently stuck in the 90s. It's kind of amazing
10 years ago it was like a weird 80s.
THOSE ARE SOME OF THE BEST PSI-STORMS I HAVE EVER SEEN.
Meh. To me its more impressive when players dodge the psi-storms. Now that's real skill
@@dirkauditore8413 Agreed, those guys are the real gamers. Unfortunately the only way to dodge those storms on your mineral line is to not play against Rain in the first place.
@@johntgallant Lmao fax. Here's hoping Light can crush Rain.

You can just kill your own units then.
@seraph8104 yes, but units cost resources
Maybe the best match I've ever seen. Mistakes, for sure, but the overall quality was so consistently good from both.
Just look at Soma's face at 1:36:16... Even though he won, by his expression you can tell he actually escaped with his life by a thread.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Usually Iam rooting for terrans but Rain is such a great player so the finals for me is win win situation.
Same
Light is gonna roll through Rain no problem but it’s also going to be very close and a tough battle.
This was the best series of the season hands down.
Wow a couple of games were some of the best PvZ that I've seen, ASL is delivering hard this year, BW so much better than SC2
What a series! Rain is an absolute beast the games were great the big mass goon storm pushes were awesome.
What a series man, game 3 had me holding my breath! Great season so far!

Thanks to the Pateron supporters who help put this on
I know that this is gonna be an awesome series from the title
Butter map was really melting at the end! This was insanely good.

this is how it looks like when an OG pro tries hard vs a new era pro
This is easily the best series i've ever seen. holy actual shit.
Rain vs Light Finals gonna be EPIC!!
Best series of this season so far!
2:11:45 200 IQ bait with the 2 observers!!!
love me some tastosis, but i think i can count the number of times tasteless successfully predicted a build in the entire asl on one hand
*Can we take a moment to appreciate* how at 01:29:52 Tasteless actually says "gamer-in-chief"? That phrase is a thing of beauty.
(And a small shoutout to Artosis for channeling his inner Santa at 01:29:44)
Butter is a wild map, another good game on that map
Hope to see casters in tuxedos for the final !
Game 3 was absolutely maniac!! Wow!!
Some sensational play overall here. Sick!
i dont like patreon but does ASL have a website where can make donations?
Man, what an epic match! The winner is a total beast!
Such freakin amazing play, man this is proper StarCraft esports :)
12:58 Tastosis starts
I thought falcon paladin was the biggest dork on youtube, you two are the champions ! no contest...
My brain exploded from a psystorm.
1:09:34 The bm drone dancing :D. I love it
Great cast again. Thanks guys
schaisse, I love Butter, omg, that was amazing, nailbiting, the aaaangst oof loved it, thanks for upload
That was some masterful starcraft played by rain. Well done
Rain showed master class in PvZ. Damn.
Super impressed with Rain's play, it's like a mix of Bisu multitasking with Flash like game sense and macro. Soma played well but Rain was just too dam good.
the GOAT'd sunken was one of the best things I've heard watching starcraft
19:05 Rain's intro music
20:22 Soma's intro music
Hi guys. Why is Caster Park muted on the VODs? Is it something about copyright?
Goddamn, Rain really is like Flash where it seems they just understand the game differently.
Just finished game 3, this series is insane
SPOILER!!!!!
my protoss heart is happy with this match!!! I was not expecting a protoss win, but Rain push through!!!!!!
2:00:00 - For a "Foundation" reference; on point!
JAHAHAH! That interwiev at the start was damn hillarious! Love it! :D :D :D
Rain........... GAME 3! WHAT THE HELL! And the last dancing ofc! Hahaha wild!
That set on Butter was crazy! Awesome series!
just now starting the match. and I couldnt help but think.... could the Finals call for .....Light....Rain?? :D
That was an amazing series. Also sets up for amazing finals and 3rd/4th place match
What an amazing series!
19:07 Two Steps from Hell - Strength of a Thousand Men ! aha love it
Man, whoever did the audio for this episode should double check their work. Had to skip the early interview since the audio is so delayed
It's funny how differently you guys cast SC1 because you play competitively, lol. Great cast, as always.
'This sunken colony is GOATed, man' lol
Just a few seasons back, it felt like maybe Broodwar was not so balanced in the end because of PvZ.
Then Mini, Bisu and Rain showed that Protoss can dominate from early to late game (well, not too late maybe, because defilers ^^)
Best even used Arbiters in recent pro matches with success.
The meta never stops evolving, it's incredible!
The Raindance! Amazing stuff, ggs
Super pumped for this vod
There's a strange audio offset during the soma/rain Caster Park interview a few minutes into the vod
Tastosis you’re my hero
Can someone please explain why we don't see carriers in scbw pvz? tyvm.
Great games, thanks for casting guys.
These two are so well matched. We've been eating great lately.
That Butter game was complete madness
I gotta watch these next season on the days they come out... been super busy this week and now I get spoilers from the Related Videos on the right... :(
34:02 those storms ⚡
Those storms in game one were absolute god teir!
Game 3 is wild!Rain is sooo good!
Gratz Rain! Awesome games! Best s13 PvZ
Awesome as usual!
Spoiler+question below
.

.

Is there really no counter to storms?
The counter shown off in previous ZvPs in this tournament was Mutalisks. If you fly a Mutaball into the Toss army shortly before a big fight, you can snipe the Templar before they can cast. Dragoons won't kill the Mutas fast enough to stop this. But Rain had air-dominance with Corsairs so often that Soma didn't get a lot of chances to do that here.

@@Kerostasis It surprised me that Soma did not build any early spire at all, especially when he was up against such quick Nexuses. Too bad, was hoping for a zerg in the final... maybe when Larva comes back!
GG! Someone fix Caster Park's audio issues lol.
What an exciting series! Best ASL season ever? Maybe..
Def not as good as 9 but still unbelievable as always.
Who needs Flash when we have Rain. My god this nerd has one big sexy Starcraft brain.
thanks for mentioning street fighter
Caster parks audio, and the audio of the intro interview isn't correct. :/
Rain is truly a talented genius and his multi-tasking is just unreal. God-tier finals, just praying to Flash for no 4-0s or 4-1s, which is probably less likely now that Flash isn't in it lol.
That archon block and storm. Rain is so sick.
Loved Artosis laughing at the GOAT sunken colony haha
Poor Soma. He is going to be PTSD with PvZ since he is going up against Bisu next. Arguably the best two PvZ players back to back.
Sorry but i have too loool.. i would think Artosis`s Text to Speech donations will get you farther then any patreon lol ;D
Amazing games!!!!!
what an insane series
Game 3 was amazing. WOW.
that game on Butter was really something
two days in a row of broodwar???? incredible.
Amazing series!
What is Rain's twitch channel?
Can we get a deep dive replay analysis from Tasteless on these PvZs please?
I fucking love the James Bond bit. I hope it sticks around.
