theres something going on with the TL calendar...there it says this match starts in 11hours. But here its 13hours..?

Anyway I expect stork and mini to advance here, but modesty seems to play above expectations in KSL so maybe hell advance..afaik minds form is pretty bad atm

Wait, they changed it so the group finishes in one day? Is there a reason that they switched it? Last season was spread out more--while I'm not complaining about five Bo5s in a day, it does seem like a lot for the players.
Edit: or is it four and then a bunch of deciders? Weird.

I guess they wanna get done by December. 4x Bo5s per day, for real? Guess I'll have a lot of Starcraft to watch. Given that ASL ended like 2 months ago, I might just be thirsty enough for some offline BW action to watch all of it. I'd still much rather see regular bo1 groups and a ro24 to give more exposure to amateurs and veterans alike, but I guess it is what it is. Seems a bit overkill to potentially have 20 maps played on a single day though.

All times are in KST
The second match will start after the first match finishes, so the actual start time of the second match may not be the same as stated.

can't stand noregret anymore... needs to stop fighting with his co casters and acting like he knows everything. His calls are always wrong, when terran has no units left he's saying its a close fight and whatnot. Just an extremely annoying person, have to mute the streams anytime he's on. just had to say my piece.

I'm enjoying the cast so far.

Also, I had a good chuckle at the instant GG as soon as the marines caught the morphing Guardians.

it boggles my mind that zerg still morph guardians in like standard attack paths like geezys if he just flys them a few centimeters to the right over the water he would have at least got to finish them to guardians but no he had to morph them right in the attack path of terran great thinking

Idk but when i go to watch a football match i don't intend on "dropping by". It just makes it feel cheap, but its not, it has an entry fee.

Instead of muting you can go kor cast. Then you have sc sound at least.

And i agree.

Nothing like watching a game where one of the casters is salty as fuck and complaining all game long.

I'll happily wait another month for the KSL to come back if it means the games have decent commentators instead of this.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

For real. Imagine complaining about balance when somebody is building triple shuttles and trying to bust people. What a waste of air.

My bad man. I thought the winner's game would be first like the ASL. Turns out the losers game is first. So Modesty vs Mini will be after the elimination match between Mind and Stork.

I've fixed the results now.

Both players were sloppy this game, barely any spell casting, long reaction times. Games are better when players have a single bo5 a day.

please stop having noregret casting anything. he's embarrassing and i can't stand it anymore. i know nobody cares but i won't tune in anymore if he's casting. rapid is good when he has a good co commentater but noregret just drags him down so far. no more!

Mini looking super solid, modesty still has supurb muta micro and not much else, mind and stork looking sorta weak tbh.

Not a fan of this scheduling format, 4 Bo5s in a row is a lot for viewers/casters and players looked far less prepared during the winners/losers matches.

Mini looking super solid, modesty still has supurb muta micro and not much else, mind and stork looking sorta weak tbh.

Not a fan of this scheduling format, 4 Bo5s in a row is a lot for viewers/casters and players looked far less prepared during the winners/losers matches.


may also explain the very milquetoast map pool - less preparation means less sophisticated maps needed

Nothing like watching a game where one of the casters is salty as fuck and complaining all game long.

I'll happily wait another month for the KSL to come back if it means the games have decent commentators instead of this.

Artosis does this like every terran vs protoss game lol and I don't personally mind, I think it's funny

Yes I agree, this is very clear now, casting is very sub level when Artosis is not there.
Rapid is ok ish and Tasteless is good as casters overall, meaning they could cast golf and maybe make it less boring, but they know shit about bw, But many people watch KSL and also play ranked bw and also watch progamer stream and know about build order, meta, current trendigs, etc. So the casting of KSL ASL, should be aware of what 5:30 muta is, or what is 9734 or 11 nexus vs zerg, or why faint moving out with 4 marine vs z are a thing.
Artosis is the only caster who knows those things, i'm not bashing on NoRegret/Rapid/Tasteless, I think I'm pointing out a fact, they don't know enough about the game. That's why they tend to do good when they team with Artosis, He is the only one who succesfully combines casting habilities and brood war brain, when he is not around a good idea could be making casting teams of 3 people, like koreans do: two joke tellers like today and one guest who actually plays and watch starcraft, like Cadenzie or EonZerg I dont know...

Yeah, I'm glad to see Mini performing well after... whatever that was in ASL. Mind is looking rusty--it seems like his macro was really off?--but I think he has a decent chance in the rematch.

The games were decent, but I need to throw my 2 cents in and say that this was the first time in years that I had to mute the english casters so I could enjoy the games.

Rapid was just annoyingly making pointless memes and references, while noregret unfortunately doesn't have the game knowledge. They don't say anything constructive about the games, completely misunderstanding basic builds and pushes that anyone who plays the matchup knows.

Coming from the early Moletrap and Klazart days of casting, I have a patience for watching casters learn as they go. However I don't see either of them putting in the effort to improve at BW casting at all. I can hardly blame them, it's not a big growth industry right now, but it's really coming across in the casts, especially when compared with Tastosis as the alternative.

Both may be able to be carried by half of Tastosis, but together this was a complete trainwreck.

I advise everyone who doesn't like the English casting for whatever reason to just watch the Korean stream instead.
Even if you don't understand it, it's much nicer than muting all sounds together imo.

I believe it is simply too difficult to find an English caster in Korea to have all the desired qualities. And to use casters outside Korea will just bring too many technical difficulties to make it worthwhile.

The bo5s involving overmatched players like mind, stork, rush and modesty are painful, mini and rain had cakewalks

If you don't see Rapid putting in the time to improve and/or improving then you're not watching

Rapid is still horrible. He's gone from F- to a D-. He's completely unfunny, memes constantly, and tries way too hard to use bad jokes to hide his nonexistent ability to analyze. He still doesn't pay attention half the time. In one game for example, a PvZ, he missed the +1 upgrade even though the observer just showed it, then the observer fortunately showed it again and he thanked the observer. Stuff like that happens all the time with him. He's super sloppy and afraid to be wrong, so he resorts to killing time with memes and unfunny jokes, but "funny" enough that's what causes him to be even more wrong in the long-term.

Given how long they were stuck casting (like seriously the KSL days are way too long) I thought Noregret and Rapid did an amazing job.

I think the two of them cast really well together, but maybe it's because I seemingly get the humour they're going for which a lot of people seem to miss. They entertained me for the ridiculously long cast, maybe I'm just easy to please but I had a lot of fun watching.

One thing I'd like to point out as a caster is that joking around is a good way to fill time and keep people entertained. There's only so many times you can say the same things over and over again and when every series is a Bo5 and you have to do 20 of them in a day then there's only so many jokes that will hit their mark.

Anyone know why they are doing so many BO5s in a single day? Don't get me wrong I love BW but I think spreading it out would be better for people to follow in general. If you miss the games you wouldn't have to sit through 6 hours of vods at one go.

Can someone tell me where I can find the english vods? The afreeca streaming site seams to offer no option here. Weird because I have watched a lot of vods on afreeca in the past but now I can't seem to find it.

It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
