This is tense.

Did they turn off the dynamic lightning? Nexi look different.

Both players have SC:R preorder skins, Town Halls look different.
I live in Russia. I wear the fufaika, valenoks and the shapka-ushanka with the red star. I drink vodka straight from the samovar, and my riding bear plays on the balalaika.

That was so clean and precise by Rain. Seems like macro game vs. Rain is tough way. Larva should try some other shenanigans.

It's actually running quite smoothly.
Switch to the HTML5 player and use "High" quality.

Larva is playing proleague now? He used to be B-team partner for Bisu, and quite honestly one of the more promising zergs. I remember his queen plays then. Does he still do them now?

What are the significant changes in BW strat and meta gameplay now? I think I will have a lot to catch up on

There's no proleague, KeSPA isn't involved with Starcraft anymore, just occasional teamleagues. Most of the competition outside starleagues happens in money matches between streamers sponsored by fans.
Larva is top 3 Zerg atm (with EffOrt and Soulkey).

What about Jaedong?

Damn this made me miss Korea suddenly. Too bad Afreeca is shit with their stream.

Jaedong has had issues with his eyes, fingers and wrists for quite a while now and his elimination in this ASL was most likely his last competitive match played.

Oh... What about the rest of the TBLS?
Thanks for answering man...

Flash is still by far the best bw player, Bisu is still pretty good (probably the best protoss...), Stork is pretty meh imo, in the same boat as jaedong

Good positions for Rain, easy to scout potential hydra bust

I actually think Larva should have played more of a macro game there and take a 5th / get plague out before taking the huge engagements. He thought he could break the 3rd but he was wrong and that was GG. He woulda been better off playing defensively with lurkers and delaying Rains 4th as long as possible with crackling groups (especially given how big that map is. Rain had him straight up too heavily out psid for thosexample aggro hydra/lurk pushes to work)

This stream is killing me. I got excited that a major BW event is on live, but with stream like this, maybe I'll just binge on some vods. Can anyone recommend any good recent games? Are they available on youtube?

This is larva best build on this map in practice. So much better than the closer enclosed single 3rd closer to middle. Larva gets like 6 bases off this

This is analogous to taking a empty main base natural on circuit breaker or FS instead of the closer bases on the sides of the map or mineral only on cb
