i started playing starcraft the year it came out, in 1997, and right away, i knew this game was bound to be a classic for the ages. i thought starcraft, which redefined what rts is better than chess and go, which both have been around for more than a thousand years old (go is from more than 2400 years ago). so perhaps starcraft will stay around for a long long time too
Not sure when exactly I first started playing the game. Didn't start online until like 2003 or 2004, but I was playing single player at least a few years before that.
First of all this was epic.Nothing will ever come close to Broodwar.Second Light is relentless he has shown in KSL and ASL that he has a champion mentallity.Soma ...soma is extremely good and very entertaining to watch.My favourite player since the first game I saw him in last KSL.The last game was the cherry most definetely.I was screaming.It reminded me a lot of the third game(1:1) in KSL where Soma had a huge advantage and Light managed to take the game and win the semis.This ASL is definetely the best so far.Hope after this Afreeca will never think of stoping this tournament.Thanks ofcourse to the casters aswell.Nothing in sports in the last year is more entertaining to me than Starcraft.
@@LucLeFou it's not hidden at all lol. Many people just don't have interest in strategy games in the first place. Hence why Starcraft 2 is stuck with 1-200k viewers, its original probably half of that. If you're expecting it to match other games, League, Dota, or CS, then you're dreaming.
Sad for Chosim,but happy for two more ZvT,Chosim was two scourge away from game 5. Im 32 played Starcraft as a kid when it came out and started watching and playing again 3 months ago.Just wanna say that I have a HUGE respect for the players and so much LOVE for the best game ever STARCRAFT. Coming from a men who doesnt play games at all says it all.Salute from CROATIA
Starcraft is a game that's. Ok enough on a watching perspective. I'm not nearly as into it as others are. I'm just waiting for my two main focuses to come back, League and Starcraft 2. But actually playing it, especially if you're new to it, is awful.
they should turn off all other progamming and just ... make SC proleagues. Till this very day still most entertaining game without any competition. But hey lets pump money into trash like Fortnite or whatnot and FORCE it to be popular for no reason. The only game to be still so popular without any backfunding for so long is Broodwar. LONG LIVE SC:BW!
lol. God forbid someone like things ya don't. I don't think they forced Fortnite to be popular at all. It's fun with friends. Many people play multiplayer games with friends. Shooters are also generally popular.
Brood war is cool and other esports are cool too. No need to shit on them 🤷♂️ no ones forcing Fortnite to be massively popular but goddamn it sure is.
Spoilers: game 1. not enough scourges, maybe Soma planned to defend against the Vessels with the Hydras, but that was not that effective game 2. I was sure they were lizards ! As a side note, now Terrans need to research EMP vs Zergs game 3. perfect Terran play, but I feel like Soma rushed too fast to tier-3 tech, and had a sparse defense ; Light's timing attack nailed it game 4. who needs more than 60 supply anyway ? I question the choice to make 1 Guardian and 1 Devorer instead of 2 (or even 3) Devorers; the swift cloak Wraith transition was a brilliant move (the equivalent of a DT transition) game 5. it wouldn't be near as good without some TastosisTV This was not a 3-2 like all other matches recently, and yet it manages to surpass them. Best ASL ever, which is a lot to say. Now, time to re-watch the whole serie !
@@edumarcos12r No, 7th Quark isn't wrong. The problem with irradiate against queens / defilers is that the irradiated unit can still cast its spells before dying, whereas EMP can instantly break the Zerg's battle plan if he needed an ensnare / dark swarm immediately. Irradiate still is what you want in most situations, but if a Zerg is going for the ultra / queen strategy, you definitely want an EMP.
@@GrandBenja against queen emp works but no against defiler thy got enough apm to use consume and swarm again also thy dont attack with only 1 defiler thy use 2 and thy are not close to each other.
In game 1, the idea is to use plague constantly to whittle down the army and with that and the hydras you can zone out vessels. You have definetely to use scourges too, but you want to rely on plague as much as you can. Soma probably needed more lurkers and he needed to move away from the defensive matrix firebat. In game 2, Emp is 200/200, and it cost more energy than Irradiate, so probably the solution is just find the quens and irradiate them, if it is ensnare quuens, then you wont make more than 3, so researching emp is overkill imo. If the queens are for broodlings, then EMP is almost a must. However, you can argue that preventing the ensare is critical, because you cant run away from that. Against dark swarm Terran can just move away from it, so its not a big issue if defilers can cast it as long as they are dead afterwards. Defensive Matrix also works against crackilng Ultra up to certain extent. In game 3 soma played quite standard, except for the early 3rd hatch. Light excecution was just brillant and he outplayed chosim. And game 4 was insane lol. If i were soma i would put like 4 sunkens in the natural and forgot about getting a third, but his economy was supper low
Whattt an ASL. Tastosis really undersell Light's vZ, back in Kespa days I think he had an even longer winstreak than Flash. P.S. I love the CEOs of Egaming, keep on laughing
The last game, zerg could've switched up to lurkers. He had enough gas to switch up because he made like 10 more mutas after that. 2 or 3 lurkers would've made a huge difference
Light TvZ is just much more solid than Flash's. It's gonna be hard to see Queen/Zero get over this as even in the match against Flash, he was never in the driver seat except for game 4.
Spoilers: Game 4, classic example of the old advice: when u get ahead, get more ahead. Dont commit to your attack when you have like 11 drones lol. Shuda taken a 3rd base behind it much earlier.
In that particular game, I'm not sure Soma ever had a chance to transition into macro, because Light kept trying counter-attack instead of defending. Soma kinda had to keep making Mutalisks in order to hold his position. Transitioning would have been the correct move if Light had just stayed in his base and remade turrets. What you're saying is generally a good rule though - one of the first to teach new players. The goal of a 2-hatch Muta (or a 2 factory push in tvp, etc.) isn't to kill the opponent; it is to put them behind and get the lead in the late-game transition. The most common way to lose in Starcraft is to try to kill your opponent after a successful attack.
I just watched it again. The Zerg did try to bring back his mutas for the first counter, but missed the bio goin for his third, then attacked the Terran base again. Later when the terran bio went for his natural, he didn't bring back the mutas, but had other new mutas to defend. After that, around 8:30 or 9 minutes into the game, the Zerg killed so many scvs, but then a valk came out. Then the Zerg decides to go Greater Spire while tryin to micro with muta against rine/valk... Foolish. That was his chance to macro. Shoulda just made more drones and an xpo. Greater Spire and the dev/guards take about the same amount of time as a hatch, maybe longer.
@@henryh.448 Hum… Yes, at this particular moment, when the first Valkyrie was made, Light only had one barracks left. The risk of dying to a counter-attack was therefore pretty low. Soma indeed could have droned up at this point and transitioned into lurkers. That's the one opportunity he missed.
Well said. I play zerg. And lurker. With 4 hatches in main would of been the best transition. Cant deny an expo lurker. I think he wanted an easy game since the pressure was on hard, and its tougher when winning is everything
I agree @@GrandBenja. It's almost like Light forced the issue and made it so if Soma was going to try to open with that, he was going to have to win with it too. Smart reactive play.
@@AlexTechie I think he over commited trying to finish of the game with mutas and lost too many to valkeries, he was careless with the guardians/devourers and didn't make enough drones lurkers and scourges
wow!!!! that was a damn damn good game at the end. who i thought was gonna win didn't end up winning, and who i thought was going to lose with that really bad and unlucky split of force when busting out and leaving a run by of choke to get at mineral line ended up winning. both economies were bad and still it was full of non-stop action thru and thru
i've always thought ensnare is a hard counter to terran bio. faster and cheaper to obtain than plague and easier to hit. why in 20 years of pro bw has it has never gained popularity? it doesn't need to combo'ed with ultras either. just run down the ensnared marines with mutas, when mutas are already handy units in the early game. queen muta scourge, ling armys will be the final zerg build.
Agree. Ensnare also work with lurkers Hydra comps. Against vessels you parasite them (lol) so that you can hit them with scourge or force them to reveal the army underneath it. Against mech you get broodling. Queens is a very underused unit. The problem is that, Dark swarm is soo good vs terran
Valks and Queens are the two most underused units in the game. Even if you don't research Ensnare, you essentially get two free spells: Parasite and the ability to reduce CC's HP by 49% (by dealing it 51% damage then infesting it). Granted, Valks only work against Zerg and Queens against Terran, but they should still see more play than they do. Glad to see they got a lot of play in the Semi-Finals and hopefully they'll bring life back into the meta.
yes, it would be an interesting alternative. vs straight bio u don't even need lurkers, just ling hydra queen; hydras will out dps and outrun ensnared medic marines. the hard counter to hydras is tanks. when the terran detects hydras he'll turtle and build tanks then push out, so i think hydra queen play will force the game into late
I hope you all listened to me once again and bet on Light. With Zero's and Light's victories, now you can buy something nice for your family. :) What a series! Probably the best so far in this ASL. Soma's Muta micro is impressive. In games 1 and 2, Light scouted him going for greedy builds (double expansion; Ultralisk rush) but couldn't do anything to stop him because of the Mutalisks keeping him in base. Light was basically playing from behind in every single game. Light is probably the best Terran when it comes to playing from behind though. Just as last year in KSL, he managed to stabilise his position and creep himself back into the game with clutch drops / timing attacks in games 1 and 3, and overall great adaptations (firebat in game 1, Valkyries in game 4). Game 4 was just amazing survival. Light's experience is showing.
The greater spire in last game was big mistake he could just make few lurkers and end game since Light had only one racks he should switch to lurkers after the first valkery
Artosis talks about how low econ zerg is committed to spire tech at some point in G4. Didn't even have a den, so Valks would kill overlords and then wraiths would kill lurkers
man I feel so sorry for chosim in g4. I think greater spire is what's lost him the game.. after wiping the first and somewhat holding his second he just needed to rebuild few drones and go for ling mutas. way more cost efficient and easier to micro... instead he went directly into the only units light had the counter for lol. he only had a starport
Wow! I was sad that flash got eliminated, but at the beginning of the asl that was my wish, cause he won already 4 asl and the last final was even a little boring for how much he wrecked Snow...I'd like to see someone else to win sometimes, its healthier for the pro-scene lol. anyway, I'm really happy to see a TvZ final. I think Light will do better vs Zero than Flash could, given how Light seems to endure pression, Flash might still be better than Light but like against Effort in Asl6, he chocked, and right now Light seems better at valks micro
@@matiascarrasco9745 we'll see! in game 5 Flash should have taken more his time to stabilize on 3 bases, and focus on better dropship tactics.. his drop seemed a little desesperate. Why being desesperate on a game 5, when you are the better player of all time. I think Light will focus more on infantery vs Zero and I hope he will not try to weird Goliath bio build, and Zero will feel too confident. 3-2 Light!
LMAO Artosis thinking SK terran is the most skill demanding unit composition. Just watch these games and you can see Light is only hovering around 350 apm where as Choosim is 400-450 by comparison. Artosis only thinks SK terran is hard because he sucks at it.

yes during the KSl he made such a comeback against Soma and pure mutas, but this last game was even more amazing.
GO GO GO GO! scC

Sick games
The greater spire in last game was big mistake he could just make few lurkers and end game since Light had only one racks he should switch to lurkers after the first valkery
Artosis talks about how low econ zerg is committed to spire tech at some point in G4. Didn't even have a den, so Valks would kill overlords and then wraiths would kill lurkers
Also, couldn't he just switch to vessels in that case?
@@Hatchumosc1 he didn't have science facility
@@antoniominissale7041 ya, and Zerg didn't have lurkers. Kinda the point.
man I feel so sorry for chosim in g4. I think greater spire is what's lost him the game.. after wiping the first and somewhat holding his second he just needed to rebuild few drones and go for ling mutas. way more cost efficient and easier to micro... instead he went directly into the only units light had the counter for lol. he only had a starport
Crazy last game !!

lol tasteless is better at translating then the other person before
than* (not meant to disrespect)
Wow! I was sad that flash got eliminated, but at the beginning of the asl that was my wish, cause he won already 4 asl and the last final was even a little boring for how much he wrecked Snow...I'd like to see someone else to win sometimes, its healthier for the pro-scene lol. anyway, I'm really happy to see a TvZ final. I think Light will do better vs Zero than Flash could, given how Light seems to endure pression, Flash might still be better than Light but like against Effort in Asl6, he chocked, and right now Light seems better at valks micro
I think if flash could not whith Queen, Light has no option to face him. Queen is so much better zerg than soma.
3-0 or 3-.1
@@matiascarrasco9745 we'll see! in game 5 Flash should have taken more his time to stabilize on 3 bases, and focus on better dropship tactics.. his drop seemed a little desesperate. Why being desesperate on a game 5, when you are the better player of all time. I think Light will focus more on infantery vs Zero and I hope he will not try to weird Goliath bio build, and Zero will feel too confident. 3-2 Light!
Artosis. Im getting nerd chills .IM GETTING NERD CHILLS SO HARD.
MOM: I WANT THIS GODAMN NERD OUT MY GODAMN BASEMENT
Long live brood war
Valkyrie best unit to watch :)
LMAO Artosis thinking SK terran is the most skill demanding unit composition. Just watch these games and you can see Light is only hovering around 350 apm where as Choosim is 400-450 by comparison. Artosis only thinks SK terran is hard because he sucks at it.
겟꿀잼!!
Gogo Light! Terran Hwighting!
