It usually takes Tastosis like a week or more and Starcast like a day.

According to the Patreon, they finished recording within a day - apparently editing takes a long time.

as far as i am aware, starcast does the casts live as they happen on afreeca and then just immediately upload the vod to youtube so it's not really a comparable situation.

Wow, that final match.

I think that Mini still almost had that game. Losing the fourth in the top right despite having the DT there sealed the deal.

that game was so loving good

I'd missed the early game first time around and it makes the late game make a lot more sense. Ssak basically did a really good job getting ahead and holding onto the lead. Seems like there likely was some tilt involved, too.

mini is going to loving murder him the next time those two play lol

The first tastosis ro16 is up. Includes a player getting 100+ supply in a >15 minute zvz.. Not even sure if I should have put that in tags, but I don't know if people care about knowing group compositions ahead of time.

If you watch enough ASL and watch Art play you can actually see him making his common mistakes and assumptions over and over again. It's just hard to get to that point where you begin to see his mistakes. There's a reason he's best friends with Scan and doesn't scrimmage him on stream, the ladder is more entertaining and actually feasible for him to play on

artosis is probably right that terran is a harder race to play until youre at the top levels of the game

you lose so much value to early aggression until you have solid micro fundamentals and game knowledge to know how to deal with it, which is brutally hard!

artosis' biggest weakness is his early scout and anti-cheese micro is hot garbage, encouraging him to play more conservatively which reverberates throughout the rest of his game

compare an asl terran dealing with an early zealot in their main compared to artosis falling apart. or how much longer an asl terran is keeping their scout scv alive in the zerg base to watch how many lings hatch.

I am not expert obviously. I do notice he wastes a lot of time with building placement though.

Yeah, out of 14 ASL seasons, Terran has won 7 of them. Nerf Terran.

Thank goodness. I'm still finishing the last matches of Group B, but have been really bummed that 76, the most anticipated map of the season, has hardly been played. I'm hyped to catch up later, and am hoping for more cool matches on 76.

Also: The TAMS car has finished gassing up, and arrived at the TAMS mall. But the voyage came at a terrible cost. The Latteholic did not survive the journey. :(

Crypto scandal stuff kinda sucked. A bunch of KR creators tried to make money from crypto and flash might have introduced people behind the scenes.

Flash is back from the military sometime in the next few months. I don't think this did any longterm harm to his reputation because people are increasingly seeing everything crypto as a scam (finally) & the others involved are back to being popular already.

Match spoilers!! God drat those meleestrums were awesome and with so many zergs in the top 8, Best has me rooting for a goddamn protoss and man those games were good. It is really interesting how often pros get so tunnel-visioned on killing the other guy that they don't take a second to solidify their advantage/contain. I know 300/400 minerals for a new base + workers and defense isn't insignificant for money/attention, but it feels like that income is important for ramping your production and ensuring the other guy can't grind your offense down before you force them to mine out.
