The current translator has the best english speaking voice so far! Completely clear and easy to understand, I can watch this now while doing chores around the house and it's fantastic!
That last game was crazy lol. They literally called it for Action then he just sacks his whole army. All he had to do was keep his queens healthy, and keep doing drive-bys on tanks while expanding. He really really threw that one away
Yeah, and before that attack he should've expanded twice, he literally did nothing after he left Sea with 1 CC. Sea then got back 3 CC and a decent army, while Action got 5 queens ? and a bit of hydras. Literally nothing else. God-awful macro and game sense, unbelieveable coming from him.
I think he just was not used to that kind of game. Like you said it seemed like a matter of droning up, expanding , keeping the hydras for defense against vultures and keep harassing with Queens and Mutas. He seemed completely lost and maybe he thought that he needed to kill the Terran as soon as possible.
Action was just tired. This same thing happened a few seasons ago. At some point towards the end of a series he loses when he loses his momentum it looks like he just gives up
Tasteless is getting better at commentating, I feel like he and arty have reached a new level in general. Maybe it helps that there is less stress if they are working from home.
Dude, i couldnt disagree more. Here's a little game for you. Take any vid with these two, any cast, and try to first catch a count of how many times nick will say something that you dont already know, or have any meaningful input about the gameplay that is NOT just a repeat/rephrase of what dan has just said. Anything that is close to predicting build orders, play analysis and such... Disregard stuff like "so happy the game still holds after so many years" or any comments about available bases and worker counts. And then compare it to dan's count. The disparity is vast. You will see that artosis (and not only him, its the same thing with state too) carries tasto for the entire cast. Yeah they have the chemistry together which was built upon more than a decade working together but come on man, pull your weight. Stop relying on castmates too nice/respectful to say something. At least make an effort, youre exploiting their kindness and its irritating. Step up!
@@cosmo6064 its just that its been bothering me for a while that his cocasters are always doing the heavy lifting and carrying him out, and he seems to think that whatever few tricks he keeps using over and over again keep working perfectly and nobody notices how he's a master at fooling everyone. While i can sense it in every other caster he works with that they are well aware of his gimmicks but never say anything so they dont appear rude. Thats it, thats all ive been wanting to get off my chest. Im all cool now and will never mention it again, hahahh

*throws. I feel like all 3 games of T vs non-T were throws by the non-T. I can't even .... I really hope they just got old and senile or had a bad day/night or something and that this wasn't a setup for some quick gambling money.

Best vs Speed was already very entertaining to watch, action everywhere! Edit: Man, I watched now until the end, every game was good in its on way. The last game, what a turn of tides!
LoL, wut ? All 3 games of T vs non-T were throws. They weren't won by the winner as much as they were lost by the loser. Quite cringe. I really REALLY hope they just had a bad day and that this wasn't a setup for illegal money.
BROOO SEA LET'S GO!! They kept talking about Action being ahead and Sea was gonna lose but I was looking at the supply I was thinking hmmm I think Sea could make a come back AND HE DID WOOO. This group was wild!
I was thinking the same thing. I love tastosis but they did a terrible job analyzing that last game. Sea was ahead in supply virtually the entire game. That was a weird call.
Holy schlamoly that was weird. Best and Action were playing like they hadn't slept in a week. Speed is looking really good. I'm gonna guess Sea won't last long in Ro16.
@@denesolah1328 Leaving his front door open to vultures, eating mines non stop, losing his sairs for no reason whatsoever... None of this play is indicative of a thinking player. It's so bad I wonder if he took bribes, but I think he just is a bad player.
I'm happy to see Best actually try a different play style rather than straight macro Protoss. IMO his weakness was his lack of flexibility. With more practice with using cheesy strats he will be able to mix them in better and present a more effective threat to his opponents.
Happy for Speed. Wow, did groups C and D have some weird games. Best's tournament performance and stubbornness can really add to that weirdness. Action also seemed off in games one and three.
Not gonna say who because spoilers, but kind of funny seeing 1 player just essentially fall asleep in the middle of a game Not building workers, not expanding - nada
Well, two things: He had built so many sunkens to sandbag the tank push, that he ended up really drone-light, like 4 drones per base. And then instead of redroning, he made too many queens. It seemed like he had a bad read on the game state - thinking that one quick and sloppy attack would just topple Sea. So he neither committed to restoring his economy nor making a well-executed attack. IMO, he underestimated Sea's level - these kinds of upsets are sometimes the result of hubris, where maybe he would have played better against a stronger opponent.
The translated part should have a box with the translator so you can see him, it would help enormously to see the person speaking. it becomes so much easier to focus on a singel voice if you see the person speaking.
to be fair, tasteless says some dumb stuff sometimes 🤣 so sometimes the "mhm" is 100% deserved lol. i mean, we all like tasteless but occasionally he's just wrong with a comment. Arty plays the game more and is more technically knowledgeable, tasteless has some decent knowledge about protoss but in general is more of the color commentator
@@EB-bl6cc Artosis has admitted 90% of his thoughts are about Starcraft. Tasteless isn't thinking about early game mining optimization on the way back from taking his kids to school, and whether to hit a timing attack at 8 minutes & 43 seconds or 9 minutes & 22 seconds while mowing the lawn LOL...
7 years ago I went to the studio with my wife (who'd never watched sc before) and watched sea in the ro24/16. She actually remembered him when I was watching this! Congrats to my wife's favourite player, Sea!
Interestingly, if you listen to StarCast, their coverage of the thrown game is quite different. They notice almost immediately that Action is very low on supply and has very few drones, and they are much more worried about whether he's really won already.
In the 1st game - Blizzard devs, what the hell?!?! How was the turret not able to shoot at the Shuttle or reveal the DT??? 💀💀💀 I've seen Missile turrets start shooting at longer ranges than this. What is this sorcery? Is the range purely RNG??
The DT really was out of range, albeit barely. Brood War normally works with approximate rather than exact distances, which can allow units to see and shoot further on certain diagonals than they should. But the calculation is exact in orthogonal directions, which makes the range in that case seem smaller by comparison. Also, range in this case is measured edge-to-edge (i.e. from the edges of the bounding boxes, plus one pixel for some reason), and the DT has a fairly small bounding box left-to-right (smaller than a wraith's, bigger than a ghost's).
Game 1 spoiler I wonder if ~10 seconds before 38:00 if Best had an opportunity to stasis something on the ramp. It might have bought him more time to macro and hold the main base
Does anyone know what song plays in the interlude at 1:08:00? The heroes one. Sounds like one of the random indie songs the music producers insert but seraching the lyrics + shazam doesnt find it for me.
@@Niall101a Actually, Action (unfortunately) often throws like that. I've seen worse throws from him. Look at game 2 (and game 3 to a lesser extent, but especially game 2) of his ro8 against Best in ASL 15. Unbelievably throws. The guy can be brilliant. On his best day, he's more than good enough to win an ASL. But sometimes, his brain seems to turn off.

The translator of the interviews is excellent. They really add a lot to the cast.
idk what was going on before, but the translation last season is why the Vids came out super slow. So ya, props to this one doing a phenomenal job.

That was a one of the harder throws I've seen in top pro play, wild.

I guess Tasteless being slightly out of focus is canon by now.
He's a fuzzy kinda guy
Fuzzy pickles!
He's not out of focus he just looks like that IRL
Jeez, Speed has been cookin, the group results are probably completely opposite of what everyone was expecting.
I AM SHAKING IRL
Been waiting for this to drop
me too, skipping the other sites jajaja
Already uploaded ... chills
Those emps may take away all the energy, but they'll never take away all the chills
Has Tasteless been grinding ladder? His technical commentary is worlds better this season than it was the past few.
He just becomes old and wise ;)
He has been streaming ladder recently, he's hard stuck B but he's grinding!
I noticed the exact same thing.
i am so happy for sea one of my favorite players i love how happy he was
I haven't slept in weeks from the nonstop chills. Thanks, Tastosis!
Best vs Speed was already very entertaining to watch, action everywhere!
Edit: Man, I watched now until the end, every game was good in its on way. The last game, what a turn of tides!

no, dummy. The detonated mines killed the other mines. Ideally you don't cluster mines like that.
37:32 Nine spider mines with a single hero zealot.

Great commentary from tasteless here, definitely on his game

Seems like Artosis forgot that, last season, he said "I'm no longer going to be saying Best should win an ASL". Best reminded him 😂

Hell, it's about time
Sea has probably played hundreds if not thousands of games on Monty Hall 15+ years ago for proleague.
Action. I was sure its his. What an outcome in the last natch. Aaaaa I was cheering for him as a zerg enthusiast. D: UPSET
I wish ASL was 3-4 times a year still, but I will relish it every moment that I get to watch. This was a wild day.
I'm so glad Tasteless is still out of focus, thank god some things are stable in this world.
SPEED
Its not for me to say this, but Speed deserves this. 🎉
The T vs T match impressed me the most.
I will have an eye on him in the round of 16 🎉
I love how it's a cute recall if you bring a protoss army to a protoss base
sea making that comeback was very impressive, to play out that game and turn it around takes a lot of guts
I'm glad Sea made it to the r16 is nice to have smiling guys that just enjoy the moment.
Ny chillmeter is completly off the charts
Happy for Speed. Wow, did groups C and D have some weird games. Best's tournament performance and stubbornness can really add to that weirdness. Action also seemed off in games one and three.
