Just watched the game titled "CARRIERS ARE SO BACK, BABY" on the ArtosisCasts youtube channel.

Royal vs Rush TvP.

Royal looked like they were going for a 13/14cc...got scouted, and immediately threw down a barracks/refinery.

Rich opened with a gateway at their natural...popped 2 zealots out before going into dragoon production. They did significant damage to Royal's economy, forcing them them to pull many SCVs off the line and killing some.

After getting to 3 base, Rich overpowered Royal as they tried to secure their 3rd --> gg.

It seems after taking damage early, Royal compounded their disadvantage by being too heavy on tanks/not enough vultures. Many professional Terrans seems to be struggling in this aspect of the game at the moment.

Until that changes, going to have to take the current top protosses (Snow, Best, Mini, Bisu etc.) over the Terran players we have seen 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️

Naw I'm leaning closer to dissociative identity disorder, or what self-diagnosing terminally online people call being "plural".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plurality_(identity)

If you look at the emoji, it's always one man one woman. If you look at their Instagram/Facebook posts, they are constantly posting as if the account is a mix of activity between two distinct, named people. However, we never see photos of them together, nor are the photos of the women on Instagram consistent; they seem to be more like attempts to embody or visualize that second part of their plural system. Their writing style also doesn't actually change all that much, either. Furthermore, their name is consistently perfectspheres, again implying plurality. However, I will admit that the variety of other random shit on their FB/Instagram makes it hard to be certain of anything.

Anyway, I interpret it as "we" being used to refer to the individual members of the plural system agreeing with one another about some statement. So, "probably not" to AI vibes, but "yes" to the TL BW section becoming a hotbed of mental illness, trolling, and very imaginative noob threads as of late (though it's kinda hard to tell schizoposting from intentional ARG, tbf).

Once again, I = me/myself.

Thinking you are doing things by yourself would seem more like a mental illness to us.

This thread is for talking about the highest levels of the professional BW meta.

So you believe you are two people in one body posting analysis on Brood War. Please prove me wrong or continue.

Just watched "DPL 2025.10 Snow vs Soma PvZ @ Metropolis | Starcraft Commentary" on the NamKraft youtube channel.

Soma opened 9 pool, popped out 6 lings, did a runby against Snow's attempt at a gateway expand...and had an advantage going into the midgame.

They then popped out some mutas, did some damage, and transitioned into hydras --> gg.

Quick game, don't see 9 pool too frequently these days ZvP...but it seemed to put Soma ahead after they spawned at close positions.

We will see if more players choose 9 pool in the future (at least on 4 player maps), given there is a 2/3 chance of close spawns 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Just watched "[ENG] SCSL S4 Ro.4 Match 2 (Best vs Rush)..."
on the Starcast TV English youtube channel.

Rush opened 1 fac cc (12 gas variant) --> 1fac/1starport vulture drop.

Best opened with a range goon expand --> DT drop --> 2 base arbiters.

After doing pretty decent damage with their vulture drop, Rush got up to 5 factory and tried to take their 3rd.

Best stayed on 2 base until after 12:30...prevented Rush from taking their 3rd, then eventually went up to 5 base. They then stasised Rush's army --> gg.

Rush seemed to be at an advantage after their vulture drop, but it seems trying to take their 3rd when they attempted to do so was a mistake. 2 base vs 2 base is generally win conditions for Terran.

It also seems like Rush suffered from what many Terrans are currently suffering from (and what we talked about earlier): overproducing tanks (and being too light on vultures).

We will see if this changes in the future 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️
