Why don't you perform zazen, facing a wall?
It’s here, with Tastosis and everything

I only caught the tail end of the last set (vs Bisu) which he rolled T for. So idk if he turns out to be pro quality at the other two races or what

Yes...Ha ha ha...YES!



he did a lot better with protoss and zerg than basically any other pro gamer could ever be expected to, but he only won one match with an off-race. he also rolled terran in 4 of his 8 matches, which was lame as heck and didn't give a particularly great idea of how he actually is with the others, beyond his muta micro being nowhere near as good as queen's (but i mean, nobody can touch queen there so w/e)

finally watched the flash random games

flash is really good at bw, had some trouble executing at the highest level at off-race unit control but everything else was ridiculous & even there, he out controlled in the pvp he won to a disgusting degree even though the cameraman failed to show it, and he had some really smart/good play in the zvz vs queen where he put himself in a winning position and then lost from underestimating what queen could/would do

bw is a complex game and I hope we see more flash random or flash focusing on one off-race at a time

Looks like Plasma is going to be "the weird map" this tournament (that's a lot of eggs).
Although Optimizer has two geysers in the main, which will probably result in some unusal strategies as well.

Has Plasma been used recently? The map page says it was used back in 2008 then abandoned, but I remember some games being played on it, and I don't feel like the memory is from 12 years ago.

Also that showmatch was really good, thanks!

Hopefully the double gas helps with muta play because that map is looking pretty open and flat. :zerg:

I love the deep satisfaction in Artosis' voice whenever a pro player makes a mistake that he also makes. 'See, even the best players make this mistake!'

Bo1 is ok for a first round imo, it weeds out the worst players quickly while still giving a chance for upsets against higher tier players who get sloppy. I’m glad they don’t do the whole tournament that way but it has its place. What KSL was it where we had to sit through three games of Modesty vs Leta?

I was ok with the first 2 sets being a Bo1 to seed the winner's and loser's match but the last series just highlighted how terrible pure Bo1s is. There is a difference between sloppy and a timing mistake of seconds that can literally cost you an entire tournament run.

I just downloaded brood war and it runs like poo poo. Audio stutters and repeats, and all the campaign triggers hang up the game for about 2 seconds. I ran this game on a computer 25 years ago, wtf

I'm sure that nobody who was involved with the actual classic War3 development and patches have anything to do with the changes they are making today.

Has anybody queued for 1v1 ladder recently? Is anyone playing?
