I hope that Stats plays well,he's not in great form lately.
Dark is my favourite non Protoss player and Astrea has great builds so I'm going to be happy if they qualify (sorry Impact).
I cant' see the event,is it normal?

how come it's not in the sidebar for upcoming events?

I haven't seen Astrea play before, but he's got a tough group with Dark & Stats >.<

Neeb reached the semis the last time he played GSL didn't he? And if I'm to believe what some 'experts' say, Astrea is better than Neeb nowadays despite the 500 aligulac point difference between the two

Artosis has a point here imo, although Astrea has taken games off Dark far more often than he should on paper so I'm unsure keeping his best builds for a possible vs Impact match is the best bet

I'm sure Astrea could beat Pimpact if he has prepared something specifically for the series. It is simply the way of Smart Players to beat B tier korean zergs in offline tournaments

Nah I been following them both for a while, cheering for them both since they are american. Astrea has a lot of potential but he isn't neeb level yet even a slumping neeb.

Neeb made RO4 in gsl to say astrea is close to him is kinda ridiculous.. we have no idea what astreas peak could be, while neeb always has insane potential even in a slump imo

I think it has to do with expectations. When Astrea beats a player like Showtime, Heromarine or Elazer, people say "wow he is really popping off with these mad results". When Neeb does the same, it's a bit more like "maybe he isn't so washed up after all, but he is nowhere near his old self".

On average, Neeb's slump-city form is still 6800 mmr and a 65-70% winrate but people gloss over the matches that he 'should' win and does win.

Add that to the fact that Astrea's strongest matchup is pvp (by some distance) and Neeb's weakest matchup is pvp (also by some distance), and it's fair to say that Astrea has a shot in a match against Neeb. But on the basis of average performance, the gap is still sizeable. We'll see how DH goes for them

What's up with Neeb anyway? Any personal issues why he's slumping?

Maybe such is the nature of Protoss - even Zest, sOs and Stats have deep slumps. The meta? The patches?

Future made an account called "NeebPlayCSGO"

But on a more serious note, Neeb does well whenever protoss has stronger defensive capabilities. The last patch was generally not great for protoss, and neeb started adopting an unreasonably aggressive playstyle during the worst period of his slump (TSL qualifiers). I think it's reasonable to expect that he will do better this patch

Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

Blink DTs should take off in late game PvZ, they're insane against Terran I'm sure they'd work against what Dark is doing this game.

This makes perfect sense actually when you consider the fact that Dark had huge issues against Showtime 2 years in a row while smashing any Korean Toss.

The illusion of this being winnable was destroyed when Dark just waked over the protoss army.

Honestly, the void ray rally was the tipping point but I don't know that it would have made much of a difference. By that point their banks had already gone from Astrea having twice as much, to Dark being maxed while Astrea had ~150 supply.

I like to think this is what Blizzard has in mind when balancing PvZ instead of the garbage we get 99% of the time.

It felt like Dark was playing a training session for lategame, and at some point he decided to end it.

Unless he's been replaced by aliens Impact will not play a game anything like that though.

I'm pointing to that as the most obvious example. Astrea made quite a few mistakes which I don't think a top Protoss would have in the same situation. However, considering he is a very raw talent going up against one of the two best Zergs in the world that was still very impressive.

Dark offered everything that Zerg has including intimidating spells like Neural Parasite, Fungal Growth, and Microbial Shroud. The only thing that he did not make was Blord. Such a cool series to start with.

Awesome game by both players. Kinda sad Astrea couldn't get the win. Seemed downhill once the Lurker/Corruptor numbers got to high.

It's probably the most useful way to cast it. It's never going to work for Hydras vs. Storm.

*shudders at the thought of shroud affecting spores*...spores in the lategame are good enough as is. I'm pretty sure Astrea lost more minerals in Interceptors trying to kill a few of them, than Dark did by while rebuilding them.

I actually think the most impressive part in this game was astreas ability to execute the oracle adpet pressure that cleanly while also getting into an economical advantage behind it, without just trading adepts into drones just to die to a counter, after that he had quite nice movement in the lategame but that actually stood out to me.

Cool game. Despite Astrea's bigger bank, the game seemed quite stalemated for long periods. The carrier ball can't break through the forest of spores and spellcasters. The multi-prong harass was a good play, but was still countered well by Dark. One engage, both teams lose their army, and then it's back to square one - who builds the better 200 composition. The game momentum will have tilted by the next engage and Astrea would've likely lost too many bases to make full use of the bank.

What could Astrea done differently with such a bank? Should he have built less carriers and gradually have transitioned to some other composition?

Hmm maybe for tech sniping, a zerg in the lategame can easily turtle from base to base Dark was on 4 bases for the longest time in this game, so you wont really have exposed bases that are important to make the investment worth i think.
Edit: he was actually on 5 as the map layout allowed the 4th and 5th being defended pretty simultaneously.

He shouldve went for a more conventional skytoss deathball imo.

Astrea was basically mass carriers and high templar support, with zealot runby's that don't do anything against turtle zerg tbh.

Needed mother ship, carriers, void rays, archons, and high templars imo.

Yeah but Zerg most of the time has a batillion spores and the army right next to the important bases (or lurkers) :D a planetary is nothing against that.

Lifted banelings should do splash damage to air units when they die.

They still do ground damage tho that's actually scary.

Very clean game from Stats I gotta say.

Wait, so a lifted baneling does splash damage to ground units when they die?

Nice multiprongs by stats (also perfect defense vs every bane runby).

Yes, it can still wipe out a mineral line that way.

That he might win a series?

Even if Astrea beats Impact, he's not gonna get by Stats barring some serious PvP shenanigans, and there's a good chance that Stats just rolls Dark and Astrea has to face him again.

I am not saying hes gonna win just saying it would be his best chance :D impacts play didnt look like he can beat astrea, havent seen that much from him lately but his level used to be way above this from my memory. I rated him higher so it gave me more hope for astrea to beat impact convincingly.

I'm disappointed they removed Obsidian after like 4 games. I remember back in 2015 they basically willed Iron Fortress into the ladder map pool.

Stats vs TY on Obsidian was one of the best games of the last season. Most games on most maps are bad.

Also this is allegedly the #TerranPatch so a map where historically Terran has lost 100 % of games is a good call

I feel like Stats vs Serral is more of a classic, they didnt meet as often but it was always in finals or semifinals

I think Darks problem was that he built his gas way too late.

Holy shit, Stats. Hold of the year.
Stopped watching ESL content in 2022 when the company was acquired by Savvy Gaming Group. Also object to sponsorships by the U.S. Air Force. Thanks for the lively discussions about sportswashing. StarCraft II is not for me anymore.

You know I thought about editing that to a "fair" chance.

Synonyms, although one carries less weight.

I stand by what I said. Stats did have a good chance at rolling Dark, it was an even series anything could have happened.

g2 was really hard to assess. At first it seemed Stats would hold kinda easily, then Dark sort of broke through and the game looked over again but the other way ; honestly I think if Dark takes his gasses earlier he holds the counter attack, right ?

I'm honestly surprised that Dark could've hold the hatch so long and break the gateway and shield batteries. He was on lower supply, and had to pump out half of the lings across the map.

Maybe another spine could've held the counter-push?

yeah same at the beginning it looked like such a ridiculous attempt and somehow the hatch lives and everything falls. I guess we tend to forget that batteries can actually run out of energy

Yeah but then impact went from, losing workers to a prism he saw coming by a mile, failing his sh rally, in general pretty bad sh usage (also losing osme of them randomly to zealots) etc.

maybe it's not as over as I thought it was. Astrea didn't go for 3-3 and his army is kinda garbage right now. He should still be winning because Impact has shit eco but it's not like he can just a-move

astrea sniping like 5 morphing lurkers at the rich gas base was so huge, if zerg reaches this lurker count earlier it would have looked way more solid. no coming back anymore tho

time to see how Astrea deals with pressure. We saw he actually has pretty solid mechanics and can pull off some sweet preparation, so let's see his nerves. Even more interesting to see what happens on Golden Wall.

Well he had 6 batteries at the 3rd and 0 done at the natural and Impact ignored the 3rd for the longest time

I think both points kinda explain everything

It was an interesting gambit to throw into a BOx series and try to catch your opponent off guard.
Could Astrea have come back? he was level on bases and could have made up the worker difference.

When the game ended Impact had 60 drones already, comeback potential is .01% basically

Well I think that's only really an option for Terran since the other races need the gas more. But in my mind's eye I can see an sOs bullshit build with a hidden nexus on the other side of his opponent's gold that he uses for a chargelot all-in

honestly with everyone shitting on Impact (and I'm one of the pack) if he kinda gave up on the first series vs Stats and saved his prep when he saw it was not going his way and just got caught unprepared by Astrea in the first game but 1) wins in the end vs Astrea 2) manages to make some aggressive play get through vs Stats in a rematch, we'll look a bit dumb ^^

Last season Impact knocks out DRG preventing the more interesting Cure vs DRG matchup to get stomped by Cure again and now he knocks out Astrea so we get to watch Stats roll the floor with him again

Such a long-drawn out brawl in the end - by two disorientated boxers taking turns hitting each other and getting back up.

Appreciate the effort from Impact and Astrea.

But Stats gotta carry the dying torch for Aiur...

yeah I don't understand what Impact was going for at all either. Sandbagging to get Stats in an overconfident state is my most optimistic hypothesis

Nor the intimidation factor to make Impact cut corners against him.

I agree with previous post though, Impact was probably kinda all-inning by trying to get away with the greediest thing possible and would not have gone for such a gamble vs Astrea

I agree with previous post though, Impact was probably kinda all-inning by trying to get away with the greediest thing possible and would not have gone for such a gamble vs Astrea

I mean it's Impact he never plays normal games. You'll never know what sort of thing he's gonna try.

Nor the intimidation factor to make Impact cut corners against him.


that's another great point

I play terran so pvz is far from my forte, but as I understand if you can't execute a high level timing push after the glave build, it dosnt really matter how many drones you kill (at the highest level)

sad way to end this group but overall it was a really good one with an excellent showing from a newbie, and quite an entertaining and offbeat series with Dark - Stats. The only letdowns were both Impact series vs Stats that were so one-sided they weren't even fun

was talking about Impact vs Astrea, I don't think you got what I meant

I never said Astrea would have beaten Stats, but we would have gotten a better series for sure (Astrea has pretty solid pvp and his preparation was very good today so I could even picture a world where he gets through, even if I would definitely not have bet on it)

I am very drunk but I think I understand what you sad.

Stats made Impact look silly because he is a beast. Impact is a very talented player too. He is easily the favorite against Astrea imo.

I have to agree Stats looked pretty solid today. He didn't look like the beast he has the potential to be lately but today was different. So maybe you're right and he just crushed because he was playing on such a high level

Still the way those gladept builds got through really doesn't look right to me lol

Just want to add on that Impact's match record against Astrea is 8-1 (17-8 in map score).

Preparation format aside, he is certainly the favourite against Astrea.

I agree - he didnt look like his peak form. In his peak form I think he wouldve beaten dark. His peak PvZ is probably GOAT in LotV imo.

But even his non peak can be ridiculous in PvZ

Honestly I think with a few tweaks Stats could very well have beaten Dark there which is a very good sign.

If you don't have much time Game 1 of Astrea vs Dark and Game 2 of Stats vs Dark were two incredibly entertaining games albeit for very different reasons.

I didn't realize it when I first read your post but I'm actually pretty sure you meant g2 of Dark - Astrea. g1 was rather mundane, the other one was + Show Spoiler +

Grats to Dark and Stats for advancing! Even though the whole group was just PvZ, it delivered lots of nice games

Ok am i the only one who is impressed by Dark's play on game 2? That was a masterclass. Super defense and clutch transitions.

On a side note, the new feedback is pretty strong, Dark was kept getting energy drained on the viper and infestor before even getting close to the carriers.

I really loved Astrea's games,quite impressive.I was so sad when he miss rallied his voids
Dark played great and Stats is sick as always.
The proxy hatch game and the one where Astrea went skytoss were pretty great.

Astrea looked very good, despite the results. His builds were all excellent with unique innovation (for the GSL scene anywyas) involved. He also played quite well. His mechanics just weren't quite as good as his strategic play. If one of the top Koreans was playing with his builds and style? Oh man, watch out.

Both of Darks Matches were great.
Astrea vs Impact was solid.
Stats vs Impact round 1 was textbook precision, yet somewhat pedestrian.
Stats vs Impact round 2 was not worth watching.
