Thread 2170917

In less than 24 hours, Park Sang Hyun, also known as Soma, will defeat Bisu, qualifying for the ASL 20 final, wherein he will defeat Snow, thereby avenging Soulkey's aberrant defeat and keeping the title in Zerg hands for the fifth ASL in a row. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

no one cares about soulkey lol. he's a hasbeen.

>>2170927

Has been in your mom.

>>2170917 (OP)
For the sake of no PvP finals I sure hope you're right

He did it. Thank you for your service

THE DEVOORER: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I'M DEVOORIIIIIIIIING!!!!!

Thank you soma for winning, I can't wait for PvZ kino finals

That was way to close for comfort. I'll be rooting for Soma but I'm not very confident he can take snow

A few months ago: https://arch.b4k.dev/vst/thread/2000273/#q2036716

>Queens should replace defilers in ZvP. Swarm not only does next to nothing against P units, it arguably makes it worse by letting the P player know where to storm. Plague is also terrible. With queens you can:

>1. Reduce the dps of all P units (except storms). Especially useful in late game when the 3/3 P army does gross damage.
>2. Reduce mobility of all P units, messing up templar positioning (harder to storm from behind the dragoon and zealot mass when their movement is slowed).
>3. Reveal observers, so lurkers gain in value as opposed to just dying under swarms like retards.
>4. Reveal any dts mixed into the main P army.
>5. Ensnare mid game P pushes so they cannot break a sunken-lurker wall.
>6. Ensnare P mineral lines, and use ensnare on the corsairs to escape. "But what about MUH M-M-M-M-M-MALESTROMERINO?!" No one cares. Keep in mind that ONE ensnare is worth like all the muta mining harass that typically happens (or, rather, does not happen) in a ZvP.
>7. Spam ensnare since there you cannot use broodling effectively.

>Someone get this to Soulkey. Make it happen.

Just saw Soma make a gorillian devourers. I probably shouldn't unpause and keep it as is so as to not spoil how awesome I imagine the upcoming moments. gg

he's building guardians now. holy shit

holy shit Bisu lost.

poor barracks. if only protoss and zerg werent OP.

Reminder not to visit /vst/ after the 26th until tastosis drops. The resident schizo is on call for spoiler posting. He WILL make a new thread just to spoil the finals, just like last time. You have been warned.

I watch for Tasteless

Bisu deserved his loss for his mid-level BGH play on Roaring Currents.
>>2174281
What goes massively underappreciated by watchers is how much APM it takes produce and control units as Zerg while balancing your drone count. Only SKTerran can really complain

>>2174310
>>2174481

He's based and redpilled on the Terranny question, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjudC_Z31pc. HOWEVER, Zergchads have gotten so good at forcing Terrannies to perform the ultimate transition that Tossers are unironically redundant at this point. Moreover, they themselves have actually gotten worse at PvT, on top of not making any PvZ breakthroughs in like 20 years. It's actually Bisu's fault: every Tosser's PvZ is LITERALLY cargo cult monkeying around with MUH CORSAIRS and MUH DTS.

if snow doesnt choke (lmao) he should win. soma doesnt look that good, but since he plays zerg, its pretty ez to win.

On one hand I think Snow deserves an ASL, on the other I think the tears of Protoss fans are too delicious to not root for Soma

I pray roaring currents stays in the map pool for the future. Really goes to show how much map design determines the meta

>>2175063

Note how in neither of the seven games did Soma indicate that he wanted to go to the late game (the one on Roaring Meme was technically late game but...). Snow has a one way ticket to Bust City.

the resident zerg schizo makes broodwar only threads to talk about how underpowered and difficult zerg is to play in broodwar despite easily winning most events.
before he started spamming these spoiler threads, sc2 and broodwar was combined.

>>2176249

For the past 25 years, the ONLY Zerg moments have been: 1) Savior's MSL run (note that the league was considered less prestigious than the OSL), 2) Jaedong's two OSLs in a row, 3) Zero's two ASLs in a row, 4) Soulkey's four ASLs in a row. Note that in ALL FOUR cases, the victories were won by Great Men, in contrast to the Terranny and Tosser faggotry of defecating builds into each other's mouths, and, truly, comprising one (notably bug-like!) organism, i.e. the Tosser dragons or the SK Terranny build. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

People who think Zerg is imba have clearly never played zerg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDRNQPsnFpQ

Zero: old, fat, likely bipolar, likely has a mango-sized prostate. The best Protoss in the world still loses to him, badly, mind you. Snowsisters...

>>2176585
Obviously Snow is holding back not to give away all his moves for the ASL final. It would be pretty foolish to allow Soma to peer into his strats.
If you translate some of the comments you'll see lots of people calling it out

>>2176624

Can someone edit the picture such that it shows Soma as a hydra, Snow as a zealot, cannons on the table, the girl as a probe, perhaps the hands in the background as a zerglin's thingies? Keep their gazes and faces as they are, of course. High quality only, please.

I have compiled the OSL and MSL finals in one image to get a clearer picture of the succession of players and races.

>>2182853
greenbros???

>>2182853

So as 2006 ended, and the KeSPA era was at the halfway point, there were only FOUR Zerg champions, with only EIGHT titles between them. Compare to SIX Terrannies with THIRTEEN titles between them. Wow.

>>2182853
>>2182865

And from 2006 to 2012 there were NINE Zergs with FIFTEEN titles between them, and SEVEN Terrannies with TWELVE titles between them.

>>2182456
Glad to see him win in long game. Most recent soma wins I see are always though early game cheese, hydra bust or finding some gap with the mutas. There is hope

Tell me about mapmaking. Who makes the maps? Who gets to decide they are sufficiently balanced? Who approves them for pro play? Do they get patched if they turn out broken?

FlaSh, like the flash of the spirit (pneuma)

At this point FlaSh will just return to bring up the viewers. I don't believe he'll be able to win again. Maybe reach top 4 to keep his top 4 streak alive, but win and be crowned as 5 star general? No.

It was hard to watch

man, protoss players are retarded. how they cant figure out how to play roaring currents is beyond me.

how can protoss players be gifted such an easy map like roaring currents but refuse to actually play the map like they should? you'd think after the last group of retards lost on roaring currents that they'd eventually learn, hey i need to make corsairs/templars/reavers/etc, but instead they just make like 1-2 units and unga bunga like they're zerg players that can just spam le muta and le hydra all game. i wish terrans got easy maps.

lel. then soma just maek hydra in game2 and wins. classic ez zerg.

more maek hydra play. must be pretty tough to play zerg lmao.

im surprised the zerg schizo didnt spoil the results by making yet another new thread. did he kill himself finally?

>>2189690
The text you shared appears overly long, disorganized, and filled with pseudo-academic language, while mixing gaming commentary with personality theories. That combination could reflect:

Obsessive or ruminative thinking — writing excessively detailed or systematized theories about niche topics.

Possible manic or hypomanic traits — pressured writing, tangential associations, and grandiose certainty in ideas.

Possible schizotypal or delusional thinking — drawing elaborate but non-evidence-based connections between unrelated ideas (e.g., “Terran = Cluster B personality”).

Social isolation or poor insight — difficulty recognizing that others might not understand or want the post.

What a nothingburger of a final, Snow once again chokes hard. At least he took 2 maps off this time

>It's the most zerg favored map in the past 10 ASL seasons because 4 (FOUR!) free gases and only one choke on ground

hahahaha reminder protoss lost literally every game on Zerging Currents

>>2190338

Terrannies and Tossers could hold that bridge far earlier and better than Zerg Chads can, due to their units being better, specifically having more splash damage earlier (I have not seen the buildable terrain map, assuming you can also make static defense at least near the bridge, close to the cliff). AGAIN, this goes to show just how overpowered T and P are and have always been, and how many of the KeSPA era bOnJwAs are just gay overachievers. BETTER UNITS>ONE CHOKE>CAN GET FOUR GASSES>CAN MAKE MORE BETTER UNITS FASTER>NARROW CORRIDOR TO Z'S BASES PERFECT FOR TIMING PUSH>???>WIN. You would have to be a bonehead to fumble this.

I just watched the finals, how can we nerf zerg with the maps?

>>2190930
probably more tiny islands bases, small enough so a lurker can cover the entire island

>>2189756

See also: the lurker rapes the small marine when it moves out, the hydra rapes the small vessel when it exists, the Soulkey rapes the small Flash when it returns (he won't).

how many libas did snow make in the final?
