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.
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💀
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
"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!
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.
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 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 :)
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.
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.
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!!!
Y, lose everything. It is all set up he gets payed extra to throw for Soulkey ASL win... That would be if he didnt actually try to win. Of course you woulnt understand, since you never actually tried to win ...
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!
@@dirkauditore8413 Right? Like early pressure with what, some goliaths? Mech always takes a while to build up, and if you are spending time and money on vultures you can't build as many turrets or goliaths / tanks, and then your eventual push gets wrecked. And remember this is a map with near-island bases, so not everything is as harass-able as normal zerg expansions.
it might be a bit easier to hear the korean translated parts if the english part was louder. If people wanna listen to the korean audio they definitely have other options lol
JyJ played one of the best TVSZ ever followed by terrible ones. Nice! Wasting money on 1 valkyrie to attack with goliaths last game was too PRO I see...
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.
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.
Spoilers G1 and G4 are amazing. Soulkey playing hydra lurker is always such a treat to watch. No one does it as well as he can. The attack with guardians reminds me of shine vs light last ASL or myb the asl before that. G5 awesome too!
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 know it's his job, and pretty much life's work, but the fact that Artosis remembers one build that was "popular for two weeks, three years ago" is kind of crazy...
Spoilers I thought JYJ had it in the bag after that second game, he looked unstoppable. Whatever secret anti-queen strats Fantasy told him about weren't quite enough to win game 5 though.
I'm so annoyed that the youtube algorithm + naming structure on these videos spoiled the results. Please don't name the videos with the player names going forward. It just screws people watching ASL seasons after the season is finished.
I believe that Tastosis slightly underestimate the broodling in its capability to distract and deal passive damage via tanks. every broodling draws in standby tank fire, those tanks usually don't fire at the incoming hydra ball and also often deal friendly fire to other units. I don't think that mech can with lategame vs zerg. the push has to kill. Soulkey didn't even need to go to defiler tech either, which would have further crippled the terran.
Soulkey pulling out another reverse sweep against a highly favored Terran player lol. It's like pottery, it rhymes. Nerf queens though please, for real.

The final game was good. Unexpected result

The TTS volume needs to be turned up. I cant hear it at all. There's also no TTS transcription on the screen anywhere either.
Damn, what a match! Always good to see underutilised units being used.
Anybody know the songs being played between games?
I do miss Tasteless's cam
You miss watching him go old like the little human he is?

Love how Afreeca put a picture of the boys from back in time. 100% nostalgia trip seeing that. Tasteosis really are the best
The moment I heard Tastosis complimenting JYJ for playing the best TvZ, I knew it's probably Soulkey's game 🤣.

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!
Game 1 JyJ stole Flash's build from Flash vs Queen (season 9?) Which is also the series that Light stole Flashs Valkyrie build .
this game is pure gold, they don't make games like this anymore.
Don’t need to, already have SC 😎🫡
The translation in these last episodes has been amazing.
Much, much better than the last guy half-assing.
"You're not gonna be happy, I accidentally hit spacebar." I died lol

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

They should probably switch who is on camera every other video, or perhaps round of the tourney. Just to make sure each are getting screen time.

JYJ in game 2… how was he controlling everything at once like that.
I have a complaint about the audio: Artosis voice is a bit sexy and it makes me to lose my broodwar focus :D
Awesome series. Spoiler below:
I think JYJ needed to do more early pressure in game 5. He let Zerg hace too many bases with little army
Well yeah, but thats kinda the limitation of mech, its not a guerilla based playstyle like bio

An impressive play by Soulkey, the 4th and 5th games were just insane. Well done!
What an amazing match but also such an incredible casting duo
