THE POWER OF JANGBI COMPELS YOU
[image loading]




What is this YSL that you speak of



The YSL is a 32-human tournament featuring some of the best of the best intermediate StarCraft players in the English-speaking world. Hell, some of the players barely spoke English. The measure of skill is the often arbitrary and paradoxical test of the iCCup server, where players are ranked on a ladder that rewards the strong of heart and of cheese, assigning colors to the various divides in rankings. Yellow is the color of those who have tested the waters of BroodWar, and have been deemed worthy to advance and such.

The tournament was played over the course of 270 weeks, and finally two finalists emerged from the piles of ashes of the burnt-up corpses of their fallen (and torched) opponents. Unfortunately, most of this fly silently under the radar, much like military aircraft have to do to avoid being hit by anti-aircraft fire and oh my god I went too far with this metaphor, as not much of the tournament was casted.

Link to the tournament thread

Of course, this doesn't mean the tournament was a failure, because at it's very heart and soul, StarCraft is for fun and boy, did we have fun. So, what we're going to do here is a bit different than your conventional orthodox cookie-cutter run-of-the-mill ordinary tournament broadcast: cast the finals. But before you burn me for being a witch (cuz I'm not, my cat ain't even black), let's all just calm down and take a deep breath and then drink a lot of caffeine and get really excited to watch some StarCraft.



Hey, why you no do cast of rest of tournament?



Do you even know how hard it is to talk that much? I never talk that much in my normal life. That's ridiculous. Are you kidding me right now?

So I asked some friends of mine if they wanted to cast some of the tournament. They said they wanted to do it. However, it is written: "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matthew 26:41) and my friends were unable to cast, because they got banned from twitch for streaming M. Night Shyalmalan's 2000 classic movie, Unbreakable (Thereby violating the Terms Of Service, Telecommunications acts, and the Treaty of Zurich), and another was ill-equipped to handle casting, as his government-issued laptop interpreted StarCraft replays as terrorist attacks, which would only be true if he were streaming replays of (Wiki)Fantasy.

The semi-finals can also be casted, unless the games are ridiculously long for no reason, then I'm gonna x16 it.

Time: Midnight EST, Friday (oh c'mon, I know you're not doing anything more important than StarCraft) the 13th.
Where: twitch.tv/ninazerg
Who: NinaZerg + dRaW

Cast will be motherfucking outrageous, parental advisory.



The showdown: Munkie vs Sero



Could you ask for a better final? In theory, yes. But considering that both of these players practiced harder than the other competitors sheds light on the truth that you must practice to get results. Not to take anything away from their competition - Sero had to pass through the Polish player Radley, who scored a ridiculous 11 kills during CRGOT, to reach the finals, while Munkie had to face the notoriously tactless MVP (aka PassiOn) who got "kind of" good.

To his credit, Radley was able to overcome his fear of tournament-winning favorite ihufa and knock Denmark's finest (and possibly only) player, but Sero came fresh out of a win over the very-polished sas.Minus, and was ready to spill some Polish blood all over the untouched snow. Not that Munkie got an "easy" path through the tournament - I felt as though Oxysc was severely underrated, but still a contender for a finalist in this tour, and was MVP.


Munkie (aka wOok, bakedbanana) Is a Zerg player from Canada. She enjoys StarCraft, Ramen, being super-shy, and cookies.

Sero (aka sB.Sero, and the rest are secret I guess) Is a Terran player from The United States. His hobbies include StarCraft, eating burritos, giraffes.

Interviews:

+ Show Spoiler [Sero] +


NZ:
I want to interview you for the ysl final thread

Sero: alright, you probably already know my answers though

NZ: That's what a good journalist does, they ask questions like "How does it feel to win right now?"

S: lol, yeah those are always the best interview questions

NZ: Now, let's do the interview. Tell us a bit about yourself.

S: i'm a 21 year old college student from southern california

NZ: What do you want to do with your life, child!?

S: I want to be the very best at starcraft, like no one ever was. Unsure apart from that... see, this interview is going to suck.

NZ: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE IN THE FINALS?

S: UUM... GOOD

NZ: What can we expect to see in these finals?

S: we'll probably both play standard every game. the first map is fs so if i lose that i'm fucked, but i think i should win =) maybe 3-2 but we've never played each other so i don't really have any idea

NZ: What would you say your strengths are going into this match?

S: is she going to read this before we play? lol

NZ: naw. The people will see it before the games are broadcasted though.

S: alright. probably timing pushes and good macro early game... also spider mines

NZ: Do you see any situation where you might go battlecruisers?

S: only if i'm up 2-0

NZ: What would it mean to win this world C-ranks championship?

S: well it'd be the first tournament i've ever won and hopefully afterward i'll move up to B ranks

NZ: I heard you bought your parents front-row seats to the event. Have they been supportive through this whole tournament?

S: no, i didn't buy them tickets. they just talk shit and bm me every game

NZ: Do you think that securing a win this coming week will earn their love and support?

S: hopefully they'll acknowledge that my decision to become a progamer was worth it but i don't think they'll watch any of the games

NZ: If you were the President of the USA, which country would you destroy with nuclear weapons first, and why?

S: probably birdie's home country of australia. fucking kangaroos

NZ: That's pretty dark. Do you have any heroes that you look up to?

S: yes, my hero hiya the cutest starcraft player. one day i'll sunken bust just like him

NZ: who is your favorite SC player of all time?

S: either tasteless or artosis or maybe flash. he was ok, i guess.

NZ: What do you think makes LoL such a shitty game?

S: low mechanical difficulty, limited strategies, and homogenized heroes

NZ: What's the most embarassing song that you like?

S: party in the usa by miley cyrus

NZ: Tossgirl: hot or not?

S: not particularly

NZ: Do you even lift?

S: occasionally

NZ: How much you bench, bro?

S: i don't bench

NZ: Would you like to give any shout-outs to anyone?

S: yes, to harem: i don't know where you've gone, but we all love and miss you.

NZ: okay, I guess that's it
S: mmk
NZ: thanks for your time :3
S: hopefully munkie will have an interesting one
NZ: good luck in your games, you're a great player and it's awesome to be able to talk with you. [wtf awkward way to end a talk with a friend]

Disclaimer: This interview is real, however, the names have been changed to protect the innocent. Some of the questions are not serious. This interview was heavily edited to take out all of the profanity and racial slurs, and I took out the suicide question, because I didn't think it was that funny in hindsight, and was a horrible thing to say or ask someone.



+ Show Spoiler [Munkie] +

Unfortunately, Munkie requested that her interview be removed. I respect her opinion and agreed to remove it. It was a charming and wonderful interview, and it will be sorely missed.

Reclusive decided to cancel that part of the final because the financial monetary capital expenses would threaten her neet lifestyle.
