Probably not the most followed players. The studio should look better as we enter the Ro.8

MisO kinda threw his lead away trying to bang down the natural. Maybe he felt he had to end the game because of the early CC.

He got himself into a good spot, but I guess going right for hive was too greedy, the push arrived before he was anywhere near ready.

Wth Miso? He had such a good start then kept smashing his mutas on turrets, then he entirely skept lurkers for more mutas he could smash on the vessel flock above 3 groups of marines... I can't tell if he loves mutas or hates them given he only gave them suicide missions.

Shine going aggressive with hydras, really pushing Snow to the limits, but Snow just barely manages to take out the flood of overlords, allowing his DT to deter the attack.

And then Shine banks over 1k mins and gas because he's suuuuper supply blocked.

Hard to see those shuttles just scooting in and decimating drones. Keeping an eye on everything is of course insanely difficult but sharp never seems to react quite as quickly as you'd like.

Nice to see Shine winning one

Snow using the Coliseum structure to keep himself safe with highground cannons, so (much later) Shine gets his revenge by just parking his army on the highground and never lets Snow get a third until the game's already over.

Good thing Shine lost a bunch of his income, so he won't bank too much due to all the dead overlords

It was a sort of half-base-trade, but Snow just seems way up.

Ample is a really solid Terran player and deserved to win. I don't think Miso has ever impressed me. He may be more one dimensional then Modesty is. If he advances of Snow in the next series it will have to be through hydra busts again. I don't think it's likely Snow will fail twice.

Miso is waaay better than modesty

Shine had nice ideas but outclassed

Tasteless was in a hyper goofy and unfocused mood the second set, pretty annoying tbh but ultimately harmless

A couple pretty fun games with a couple duds. Miso's mass muta strat in game 1 was so cool but then he overextended. Also is it me or could he have totally killed the starport for a time (he got it burning) but just ignored it and let ample's vessel count keep growing? Also 2 days in a row we get a zvt on CB where the zerg goes early pool and ends up massively behind . Ample seems pretty solid, glad we'll have at least 1 T in the Ro8 now.

Snow vs shine: shine just isn't looking as hot in zvp as he was 2 years ago. Snow played a lot better than he did vs miso, but shine's micro and multi-tasking seemed pretty off. Every single time snow harassed him he would get too distracted and lose a ton of hydras in his main army to storms.

It seemed like a couple months ago that there were a ton of really good zerg players, but now it seems like soulkey is the only real killer zerg right now (especially with effort gone). But honestly I have no idea how his zvz is, seems like currently that MU is just as much of a toss-up as it's ever been. Hopefully he'll advance past action next week. Next week should have some really good MUs though, can't wait.

Miso may be better at this very moment, but Modesty has the pedigree of being a legit kespa player during that era. Not that it matters though, I think both lack that spark you see in players that make deep runs in tournaments.

Modesty was never a legit Kespa player. He was a v Z sniper. You're thinking of a player like Roro

And yeah obviously, there are like 6 legit players right now

Agreed. I find it hilarious if Tastosis says everyone is so much better at everything right now than back in the Kespa days, barring a few exceptions. I think their view is very skewed and the most best for them is always the present.

this is just for the cast - Tastosis got to be excited about everything - the presumption is that you always have new viewers - a great tool to attract them to the game is if you are excited about anything "being the best move"

It was pissing me off, right now i got used to it - sometimes it's hilarious to see how even bad mistakes are considered as "the best move" :D :D

I feel like you guys keep misinterpreting me. Modesty was fielded as a player during the kespa era for more then one game. He became a regular B tier player enough times that I remember his name. Someone like backho or rock is a good example of a B tier player we all know who was pretty average too.
Modesty also did have a great streak in the sonic era and it wasn't just versus Terran. He actually played well versus all races in 2014 and almost looked versatile. Then he left the scene until now were it looks like he has hit a reset.
I'm not saying cause he was a kespa player he is a God, just that I think he has reached a greater level then miso in his career.

yep, pretty much the only reason why modesty was kept around was to snipe jaedong (remember JvZ?)

he never really lived up to it and was pretty unsuccessgul vs jaedong

He didn't beat anyone tho except a ... ZvZ vs Hydra

If you're saying modesty was better than rock or backho... sure. Damning w/ faint praise. Was he ever elo'd t30 back in the day?

And 2014 was a BW nadir.

Didnt beat anyone? Fantasy, kal, skyhigh and pure [skyhigh was quite good, and iirc pure was still in decent form]. It was a respectable run. The difference one should expect from a player of modestys caliber and background simply is more than someone like Miso.

Just saying that making a semifinals of an OSL ain't nothing. He also made it out of his Ro16 group in the OSL after that (lost to hydra 1-2 in the Ro8) . I'm not a huge modesty fan at all but he was no B-teamer.

He did beat Fantasy in a bo1. Pure and skyhigh were bo3s, sure. But they weren't good players. Kal used to be great, but iirc after his semis or finals run he was never the sams and his career fell apart quickly. Dont remember what ahape he was in when modesty beat him. If he was in t10 shape, fine, sure, even a bo1 over two t10-type players is impressive.

Skyhigh a vT sniper, Pure career sub-40% winrate vs Zerg. Give a mediocre player enough opportunities over acareer and they'll have one or two shining moments, sure. But look at the bracket. He won a bo1 over Fantasy and beat a couple of his mediocre B-listers. Variance.

When was he top 30? Kespa was pretty stacked. Modesty got regularly deployed in proleague on one of the worst teams, sure. Almost never made any noise, and it was never sustainable.

A list type players back then:

Bogus, stats, roro, hydra, zero, best, stork, bisu, flash, mind, sea, leta, jaedong, effort, calm... I'm getting lazy but I could name another 15 players. even dudes like yellow/july/fbh were more reliable up until the very end. For the record I consider roro the gatekeeper of what was A lister. He was the definition of a super solid, super boring standard macro Zerg who rarely lost to people below him and rarely beat t8 talent.

God I just spent way too much time thinking about modesty

Id be surprised if modesty had a > winrate than miso, either over the past two years or over the next two

Pure was a solid A team player at the time, on the cusp of being a top 5 protoss. Skyhigh was actually a solid terran player at the time, his decline came later and was sharp. No ones trying to debate that modesty was this great player, but he was a solid kespa player who got fairly regular play in proleague, he did, in fact, make it fairly deep in a league. You can make excuses for any run, the fact is he did it, he beat legitimate players on stage in macro games.

I remember being pretty bummed that modesty beat Kal in that Ro8 match. I was (and will always be haha) a huge Kal fan and he was heavily favored against Modesty. But damn you can never trust team-kill situations like that in Starleagues, sometimes the "worse" player is just able to get into the other better player's head and know exactly how to dismantle them (like forgg taking out JD in the arena MSL or fantasy destroying bisu in the batoo OSL). He also lost to Great in the MSL Ro8 around the same time and pretty much slumped pretty hard after that, never really recovering before the end of kespa :\

Sorry this is turning into a Kal nostalgia post but damn I love that guy, he had the most fun shuttle play to watch in the entire world. He pretty much always came up short when the pressure was on against true S-class players, but he was consistent as hell for years. Apparently according to liquipedia he won the Protoss player of the year award in 2010?! Kal rules, too bad he didn't come back to BW (apparently he had a botched chin surgery?)

Miso was molested by mutalisks in his dreams of something that, he wants them to die.
