Competitive StarCraft: Brood War?
On *my* /v/?
It's more likely than you think!

Today's matchup is a zerg orgy; forego the blanket since there's no way this is going to get comfy:
Queen (Z)
EffOrt (Z)
Calm (Z)
HyuN (Z)

ZvZ night is the best night.

zerg rush kekeke

zerg OP. 2 zergs will get out>>718994147

>>718994257
All my nigga protoss

what are your opinions on the maps this season? do they seem antizerg enough?
i dont think so

Praying we see a hive.

>>718994284
I don't like it when they make the maps anti-'race' when a player gets too dominant. It happened to Flash and I hated it, and I hate it now. That said, I don't think the maps are truly anti-zerg since we saw how KnockOut led to some of the nastiest, NASTIEST Lurker contain imaginable despite the supposed "anti-hydra bust" ravine in each natural.

We'll see how thing turn out for Roaring Currents.

Gigachad group.

ZvZ is probably the sharpest match-up in any RTS. A couple units dying can turn games. Build orders are extremely rigid and have hard defined counters. Extremely low eco situation. Rarely progresses past mid-game.

MAEK MUTA x2

This is just Queen taking advantage of a less experienced player.

That ended like 90% of all ZvZ; a muta vs muta fight.

>>718995463
It ended before that. It ended when Queen went for his natural and Hyun didn't respond with a Zergling all-in.

I THOUGHT HER SHIRT HAD THE LEWD ANIME GIRL FACES ON IT FOR A SECOND!

>Effort
It's time.

Is Calm a femboy?

Calm has a pretty good winrate in ZvZ but he also doesn't have all that many games and his other match-ups are pretty weak. Effort's winrates are godly at 60% across all match-ups. Effort's likely to win here.

>>718995885
you're probably right, but are you basing this off of their recent non-ASL matches or are you talking about ASL stats from 2018

>losing hatch
what a fucking blunder

>6 min ZvZ
lmao

OH YEAH
IT'S TIME FOR ROARING CURRENTS

well that was anticlimactic

Queen is so greedy.

queen is about to get demoted to effort's bitch

The Spire placement isn't exactly what killed him, though it wasn't good, it was going for the third Hatchery without putting down any static defense.

Monday...already? Fug

glad they got rid of the old and busted hag, too stuck up to whore out her slutty shoulders. The new gal understands her job and gets those puppies out.

No Tastosis...dropped.

nice to see effort is in good form after missing the last few seasons. He suddenly disappeared because he needed to return to his home planet or something.

>>718997341
I'll just watch it again later.

SoulKey is just going to win again, kind of not as fun to watch when you know he will just win. is there anyone to root for who is new or dominating? anyone that is T or P?

>>718997775
>new or dominating
new and/or dominating I mean, someone that could meet SoulKey in the Final and legit maybe beat him?

>>718997775
>>718997842

Fun is gay. Respect the master.

>>718997901
I cannot respect the Zerg race. they literally just free expand unpunished cause no other race can do anything about it and then resource abuse the other races they just can't keep up. its fucking gay, so fuck yourself you fucking faggot. that shit might be fun in a non-competitive setting but as a competitive sport, I think it kills starcraft viewership and when 100% of the other race professional players can't even beat it, fucking garbage to watch when you know SoulKey is just going to abuse the Zerg race every tournament

>>718998053

He's the punisher, kid.

>>718998134
he would be a fucking garbage semi-pro trash player if he were forced to play any other race.

>>718998189

Big if true.

It's been a long time since I caught one of these.

>>718998265
what's the fucking common theme in this picture? zerg in 3 out of 4 are 2-0 in their group, 1 zerg eliminated out of 3 groups that have the other races thus far and the current group playing is 4 fucking zerg. let me guess, JD makes it through the next group and Hero makes it through, and I'll give BTS whoever the fuck a 50/50 chance.

>>718998053
Fuck off back to other RTS with your balance whine bullshit. Soulkey wins consistently because he's the better player and he has a better understanding of the game than anyone else right now.

bleh
expected full Z day

>>718998561
Having hilariously uninformed balance opinions is koreatime tradition

>>718998417

Jaedong is doing pretty poorly in the current era. If two Terrannies and one Tosser can't beat him...

That group was about as interesting as you could expect a ZZZZ group to be.

>no ZvZ that goes late
shame. It's to be expected but sometimes you get that ludokino.

Why do people mald when I do this build

Zero is so smol.

>>718998743
They're mad because you're a Random player which fucks up their build and they don't know what to do. If you rushed them they'd be complaining just as much.

>>718998561
i'm not arguing he isn't a top tier player but hes the top tier of zerg and zerg is fucking broken. put his ass on any other race and he will suffer like everyone else does cause he wouldn't have the advantages that zerg brings to the table. go fuck yourself with your retarded gay fag shit nigger dick licker

Uuuh chef? My soup is all ZERG!

>>718998878

Are you ok, Terranny?

>>718998878
Go back to Starcraft 2 where who wins is decided by the whimsy of the devs or the """"""balance council""""".

>>718998878
Terran and Protoss players just needs to gitgud, simple as. Plus Soulkey isn't perfect when it comes to zvz so that's his greatest weakness probably

remember when Flash was still playing and everyone was like T is the best race, so OP

>>718998959
Seeing out of touch, low skilled fools like yourself seething because you couldn't make the jump to the higher skilled SC2 will always be funny.
Your "bonjwas" are all frauds and you know it.

>>718999347
Flash is a tricky player, gotta block everything he does to be able to win

>>718994037 (OP)
generals belond on >>>/vg/

>>718999445
It's not a general because there is absolutely zero effort to continuously bump a thread and make sure it says alive.
Even when there are games every day for 3 days in a row, the thread is left to die after a few hours each day.

Why are the streams only 1 hour?
