This was the match of the tournament so far. Every season there is a match so good that it doesn’t matter if later matches are duds. This is that match!
@@Akumasama Effort vs Action had the best individual game, but it's hard to beat this match. And even then the last game of this match was pretty close in quality.
We joke around a lot, but this may be a perfect example of what blizzard had in mind for z v t when they made the game. In their wildest dreams, this was the apex of both races going against one another in synchopated harmony. Just honestly stunning how great both of these guys are. Top tier casting from our boys tasty nick and artosis. Thanks Afreeca for hosting and producing.
yeah but we have to admit that mech is not DOABLE in tvz, jyj seemed like he was going home with a 3-0 till that crazy all in, nevertheless soulkey played amazing and what a comeback! greatest march off the season apart from that best sharp pvt
Mech has had good results at the pro level. I think it's generally when they win with the first push though, if the game goes on too long they get overran like what happened here@@denesolah1328
1 - audio sounds great imo. 2 - I love the faster uploads 3 - I notice no audio/ visual drop. 4 - I love what you have been doing the past 2 year. keep it up!
22:06 haha love that moment when Artosis notices the ebay upgrading and shouts "OOOOHHH" and then Tasteless keeps talking and talking and you just know that Artosis desperately wants to talk about that ebay upgrade.
Agreed. I wish Tasteless would limit his long-winded speeches. Artosis was about to describe the strategy at the appropriate time, but he had to wait for what felt like forever💀
It is all fixed. Soulkey will win this season. As some other users already pointed out. ASL sadly matchfixed because to many Terran winners in the last years.
Incredible games, thank you guys for continuing to cast ASL. I've stopped watching starcraft 2 for the most part and watching brood war just so cathartic and entertaining. I hope a new RTS comes out that rivals brood war but I don't think that'll ever really happen. Games one, four and five were so incredible.
Love the casting as always but love the thumbnails! Homage to the eternal casting duo in the best e-sports game ever. I do appreciate the quicker vids and no desync issues. Sucks to not have Tasteless on cam but as long as Tastetosis offers their signature commentary I’m content. Great job!
can I just say I am p impressed by you guys' flexibility with the set up. Changing the whole setup around in the middle of the tournament (to the better, I'd say!) is no mean feat.
@@EliteownageChildhood hero is a term used to describe someone you look up to as a child. It refers to the developmental stage of the admirer while they were admiring the subject, not the person being admired.
Man, that was unreal. Congratulations to everyone involved; ASL is a tremendous thing, and it's so cool that an old game can continue to evolve decades on.
I love to see both of you , just once there was delay in sound in 1 game , but other video was perfect maybe 1-2 seconds delay , but 1-2 seconds delay is no problem , we want to see Tastless aswell :)
"You're not gonna be happy, I accidentally hit spacebar." I died lol The dubbed interview is really fun to listen to! I'm surprised how easy this is to watch, coming from SC2 content and not knowing anything about Broodwar except elementary school nostalgia!
This was a fantastic series of games, thanks for continuing to do this! I'm sure it's not as easy as it looks ("just talk over the video, how hard can that be?"), so thanks to all the people involved for making this possible
Amazing and funny thumbnail and made me realize again how old Starcraft truly is. It's just so crazy how long it'd lasted and how much of a personal fan I am of tastosis duo .
Absolutely phenomenal series! Match of the tournament here, quite possibly. Spoilers---- - - I'm so happy for my boy Soulkey here. He has a genuine best case matchup against Rush next round, since he's already knocked out the strongest terran in the tournament here, and has a GREAT shot at getting to the finals. He will definitely have to put in some work and stay on top of it, but I have faith in his killer instinct. Now I just want to see Mini make it out of the other side of the bracket. A Mini Soulkey finals would be INSANE!
As much as I love Andy, Ziggy's dubbing is much stronger than Andy's. Having trained as an interpreter myself, I suspect this is due to the fact that most people who do translation and interpreting and dubbing for a living have a stronger direction: usually second language --> native language. Being a [incorrect: native English speaker,] (as noted below, Ziggy's Polish) Ziggy is always going to express things in English more smoothly and more naturally when interpreting Korean into English. Just my 2 cents.
I hate that all the negative made them feel like that had to change the format. Tastosis is literally the reason I became a Starcraft fan. I don’t care if it takes a few weeks, I never miss an episode.
ALRIGHT, DAMN !! What a set of games, very insightful commentary (Tastosis are not just nostalgia, they ARE the best). THIS WAS A CELEBRATION of Starcraft: Broodwar and I am thankful :)
I'VE GOT IT! If you really can't manage to get Tasteless on-screen. Get a little cardboard cut out of him and have him sit next to Artosis. I cannot see how this would go wrong.
I appreciate that you guys are always looking to improve the cast, just know that i am not going anywhere. ASL is always a treat and this season has been one of my favorites! I love what you and your team do and i hope it continues for a long time.
Guys make sure and contribute to the ASL fund. If they make it to 15k/month (they’re currently at 11k) Artosis said they’ll get tasteless a new webcam!!!
This was such a beautiful game. The range of gameplay was amazing, the series itself was ultra competitive, and the casting was phenomenal! Tasteless jokes are too funny, and the level of gameplay analysis/insight artosis is able to provide is shockingly prophetic sometimes! Broodwar forever!
Just want to acknowledge what you said near the beginning of the cast and say thank you for getting them out quicker this season. It’s been noticed and it’s been fantastic. No de-sync is great too 😊
1. I like the changes (I like to see tasteless but I'm fine with that tradeoff) 2. Sound is perfect (subtle music in background, gamesound and commentator loud and clear) 3. Amazing translation by Ziggy! That must have been a lot of work 4. In case it does not go to the last game it would be appreciated if you add random stuff at the end 5. No names in titles please - in case someone watch the whole series later 6 . Love you and want to watch you comment broodwar the next 30 years ;-)
Dude....spoiliers incoming Why why why why why does JYJ not just play standard when he's up 2-0. The chances of him winning 1 out of 3 STANDARD game is really solid. Instead he goes for an uber cheese and a mech play, which I don't think I've ever seen win. Why go crazy. Obviously he's infinitely better than I am, but it just seems weird.
It wasn't even an all in cheese. He got unlucky that SoulKey chose 9 pool. Last game I respect him for trying something new. Sometime you live and die by a new strat.
First off, great quality, loving the fast uploads. Small suggestion, since the split Artosis/Tasteless camera isn't possible with this style, I think it would look cleaner if you just didn't show the camera at all. Show a graphic, even the Patreon one perhaps? Either that or a still shot of Tasteless or something where he'd normally appear. This didn't hurt my enjoyment at all, to be clear. But it was a noticeable oddity. Felt strange to watch Artosis sitting there listening.
Get rid of everything but their voices. In some years, we can get rid of them entirely just upload their recordings into a machinelearning programm and whopp we can have all the future asl casted by a much cooler duo, that never ages, never is bored while casting, never loses its sparks and doesnt lose their quality because of health problems. Long live the future AI, buuu the humans!!!
I really like the new format, a suggestion though, turning up Tasteless just a smidge or turning down Artosis just a smidge would level the audio between you two. Not too much, only a little.
SiegeHammer by JYJ was epic. If he had 1 full bunker at each base, those attacks would have been significantly less effective. What an epic series by both players. Best match of the tourney so far for sure.

Ziggy is actually polish, so he's translating his 3rd language into his 2nd language.
