I've gotta say, TvZ is the most entertaining matchup to watch. The way that Zerg ramps up from little zerglings into more terrifying units, the way Terran is kinda moving more slowly and in a sorts desperate, apocalyptic battle. So cool
My heart sunk seeing that goof. Playing the bamboozle card of just playing a standard macro game but goofing one lurker move ;_; I wanted to see more ridiculous builds.
Mad respect to Shine for all he's done for Basford, the people clearly love him. But that one fan for Royal yelling KIM JI SEONG is worth a million Basford fans.
Thank you for all your hard work and the wonderful casts! I would love to see translation on the player interviews/games which are aired during the ad breaks. Those were translated last season and I've been missing them this season.
For that kind of thing you need to reach out to Tastosis personally - AfreecaTV runs this channel directly so Tasteless, Artosis, and their support staff don’t have access to respond/etc.
"It's actually a lot like, you know, the greatest movie ever made 'Pacific Rim' where they're like 'today we cancelled the apocalypse'. That's what you guys did, so thank you very much for that". Guillermo del Toro couldn't agree more. The book of Tastetosis S14RO8:Match1 51:42
There is absolutely no e-sport like SC:BW. It's certainly the most pleasant one to watch. The level of professionalism is way way high, compared to the current popular games (maybe only CS is at the same level).
Would it be possible to fix the length of the video at say 3 hours (with black screen after it ends) to avoid spoilers (knowing the outcome of the last 1-2 games, because of the score)?
Due to youtube algorithms and stuff sadly i dont think Afreeca would do that Ill recommend you use an extension which removes the video count, thats what i do for esport
Tasteless has been phoning it in a bit for a while. I wish he would ENGAGE more with Arty and analyze what he’s saying instead of a cookie cutter response most of the time. (Tho I understand if it’s in the middle of the action) You guys aren’t strictly at ASL anymore. Have a little fun with it like you’re teenagers again lol
@@sirdiealot53 I wouldn't say he's dialing it in, but Arty definitely lives and breathes this more. Tasteless is really up to date with modern Protoss strats and nuance, and has been playing heaps on stream. He does need to finish a thought and let Arty actually analyse in a Terran match though 😆
I definitely get the sense that Tastosis doesn’t watch the interviews with the pros (and probably the subtitles aren’t available for them to read when they record)
@@sirdiealot53 Tasteless isn't phoning it in, he just rambles too much and rarely has anything interesting to say. I really wish he would share the speaking time with Artosis or maybe even take more of a back seat during the games.
the best of ones in ASL is the only reason I liked the KSL better before it died. But go ASL!!!!! for sticking around just pleaseeeeeeeee no more best of ones
Spoilers ahead you been warned! SPOILERS! ok so the grant total play time was 27 : 44 game 1 lasted 11 : 50 game 2 lasted 11 : 15 game 3 lasted 04 : 39 seems like Shine was unlucky and didnt do his thing over-all bad day for him kinda sucks. but then again you can view it like me Royal kicked ass and chewed bubble gum and he didnt have time for gum.
In the 3rd game I think Shine should have tried to kill the SCV making the bunker instead of chasing the marines, Royal only brought one SCV so it would have made a huge difference to just kill it.
I love watching brood war, but I can't play it anymore. It is so excruciatingly hard to control your units. Really makes you respect those pro players who make it look easy
As soon as game 1 ended and I noticed the VOD length it was obvious who won the match. I know adding 2 hours of blank screen at the end of the VOD is janky and unprofessional but there's gotta be something you can do that is better than this. This is just unwatchable, the whole match is spoiled after game 1.
I just press play and make the video length at the bottom of the screen go away without looking at it. Then I don’t check it at any point after that. If I need to pause I do it without looking at the time. Works all the time.
Amazing casting and game. I have a suggestion, please do not include the player names in the title. For someone who is trying to catch up on the RO16, it's kinda shitty to be spoiled when you're trying to scroll through the videos.
are they no longer covering this? I just found 3 more matches to watch on another channel. guess ill be going with them from now on seeing as they at least upload on the regular. good luck being WEEKS behind.
With the new micro for valks, sometimes they do if they are going for armory. But vessels are better long term due to detection and defense matrix in addition to irradiate. Irradiate one of the best spells in the game since it only costs 75 mana and counters the muta stack. Valkyries cost more minerals and can still get wiped by 2 scourge as well.
We havent gotten good TvZs in a while, the only match up where i get to see marines in action and so far all games with this matchup have been disappointing.
As a protoss I'm rooting for royal to win it all I like his demeaner and playstyle. normally I always root for protoss to win it all but you know..... all the good ones lost to best of ones and cheese this season. Haha JK kinda
Shine has no business knocking out far better players like JD in early rounds, and then getting obliterated in the serious rounds. He's a waste of a bracket space and ruins tournaments with his cheesy bullshit.
Dude? Did you even watch the previous round? I love JD and i wish he recovers from slumping but our Tyrant has been dethroned many seasons ago. Queen and the likes are the Zergs playing highest level... Shine thou gave us some amazing games before showing many variations of Z this season.
I think thats the worst ro8 performance i've seen in ASL so far. At least other one sided matches in the past the other player looked like they belonged there but the loser of this match does not belong in the ro8. Damn man its brutal to watch.
@@yellow6100 I like shine but that was season 3 man. It was a long time ago he was that good. You gotta admit he got a pretty gifted ride to the ro8. Im being harsh and probably rude but its true
@@yellow6100 look who was in his ro16 group, two other players not-ro8-ready.. none of the 3 is in the ro8 league, but one is being placed in ro8 regardless
Tasteless says Shine has cheesed more than anyone else. I dont think thats true. I dont like Horang2 because all he does is cheese and im willing to bet nobody has cheesed more than Horang2.
I've gotta say, TvZ is the most entertaining matchup to watch. The way that Zerg ramps up from little zerglings into more terrifying units, the way Terran is kinda moving more slowly and in a sorts desperate, apocalyptic battle. So cool
im so glad tastosis are the commentators to my all time favorite game ever ever
this!
I'm gonna see the Semifinals live, boys! Let's go!!
niceee
niceee
Niceeee!
Cooool, prepare a paper sign so that we can recognize you :o)
@@7thquark309 any suggestions? Maybe "Tastosis FTW"?
That lurker move in the first game, I fucking died a little, that was so sad after such a good game
he was dead regardless, init
i am so salty for that.
but big up for shine for the solid game
@@cl8804 Yeah maybe you’re right but with that move he became super dead
My heart sunk seeing that goof. Playing the bamboozle card of just playing a standard macro game but goofing one lurker move ;_;
I wanted to see more ridiculous builds.
@@mik5owski654 ye he dedderer now
That winning smirk at the end though. GG to both players. Thanks as always Tastosis and crew.
Whoa I was about to hit the shack. But not now! Thanks TastyTosissy!
toast and useless
Hit the sack? Not shack? XD
This was painful. Royal and Shine are my two favorites in the round of 8!
Mad respect to Shine for all he's done for Basford, the people clearly love him. But that one fan for Royal yelling KIM JI SEONG is worth a million Basford fans.
yeah she put her heart out with every chant. Too bad the fans didnt quite return in kind

Don’t worry, from someone who’s seen the other ro8 series they are literally amazing so don’t get put off by the first one
Hard to have all four Ro8 games be amazing, glad to hear the other ones are better!

Love that you still cast ASL
Lets GOOO!! Thanks for continuing all this
Next is the best series in RO8. Im looking forward to the next vid
Thanks team, please accept this engagement to help the metrics
Appreciate you!
I'm kind of baffled that Tasteless didn't know what Basford was.
The players haven't shut up about their academies and all the support they've gotten.
Tasteless has been phoning it in a bit for a while. I wish he would ENGAGE more with Arty and analyze what he’s saying instead of a cookie cutter response most of the time. (Tho I understand if it’s in the middle of the action) You guys aren’t strictly at ASL anymore. Have a little fun with it like you’re teenagers again lol

Tasteless is really up to date with modern Protoss strats and nuance, and has been playing heaps on stream.
He does need to finish a thought and let Arty actually analyse in a Terran match though 😆
@@sirdiealot53 I thought Tasteless' commentary was not good.
I definitely get the sense that Tastosis doesn’t watch the interviews with the pros (and probably the subtitles aren’t available for them to read when they record)

Tasteless isn't phoning it in, he just rambles too much and rarely has anything interesting to say. I really wish he would share the speaking time with Artosis or maybe even take more of a back seat during the games.
Comparing patreon with the greatest movie ever made- Pacific Rim may be the funniest comparison I’ve ever heard :)
Royal with the crazy vulture Rush vs shine's crazy builds.... woooo!
with the interview and all that jazz, this is only a little over an hour? That's a big clue.
yeppp
Pretty much an implicit spoiler when the first game ends at the 25 minute mark and the video is only an hour, RIP SHINE
wow, what an amazing trash talker! And right into his face. I'm loving Royal now more than ever
you guys are taking way too long to upload these videos. I got the next match spoiled for me because of a thumbnail :(.
The question is if royal is sorry after what he did to shine.
I think it may be illegal in some jurisdictions
Sorry is his old name lol.
@@TheDasErdinger yes, that's the joke , glad that somebody figured this out ;-)
Please don't swear, Artosis! I need to be able to watch this with my kids...
Excited for the winner, shame about the short series but that's how things go sometimes in sports.
those screams at 53:40 just passion
Tastless is like the Jim Brockmire of StarCraft ❤
53:45 the crowd id going full goblin with these cheers and I love it
In Korean what she's shouting means "goblin mode activated"
the best of ones in ASL is the only reason I liked the KSL better before it died. But go ASL!!!!! for sticking around just pleaseeeeeeeee no more best of ones
Spoilers ahead
you been warned!
SPOILERS!
ok so the grant total play time was 27 : 44
game 1 lasted 11 : 50
game 2 lasted 11 : 15

seems like Shine was unlucky and didnt do his thing over-all bad day for him kinda sucks.
but then again you can view it like me
Royal kicked ass and chewed bubble gum and he didnt have time for gum.
Thank you very much!!
I'm so sad the next vod is like 2 days away and this one was nly 1 hr long 😔😔
In the 3rd game I think Shine should have tried to kill the SCV making the bunker instead of chasing the marines, Royal only brought one SCV so it would have made a huge difference to just kill it.
should really premier these
This one was a bit dissapointing, but it seems like the rest of the Ro.8 is gonna be stacked this year. Can't wait for the next one.
I love watching brood war, but I can't play it anymore. It is so excruciatingly hard to control your units. Really makes you respect those pro players who make it look easy
GL HF much love all!
RO8 LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Is there any way to hide the video length?
As soon as game 1 ended and I noticed the VOD length it was obvious who won the match. I know adding 2 hours of blank screen at the end of the VOD is janky and unprofessional but there's gotta be something you can do that is better than this. This is just unwatchable, the whole match is spoiled after game 1.
You can "premiere" videos on youtube where they basically get released as a stream with no visible length, that would solve this
you could just.... not look at the VOD length?
I just press play and make the video length at the bottom of the screen go away without looking at it. Then I don’t check it at any point after that. If I need to pause I do it without looking at the time. Works all the time.

In an alternate universe shine gets defilers out in game 1 and this series goes way different
Still, wp Royal!
ASL FOREVER!!
What was going on with Tasteless's head at 50 minutes?
I’ve never heard of Royal before this… nice to see someone doing some unconventional stuff and killing it
11:24 gotta respect a grown man drinking a juice box
is a factory float also with soda and icecream?
1hour? This is going to be painful for someone
Wish we saw some shine strats but guess his standard play mixup didn't pan out
Why can't we see the worker count? come on!
Shine just showed us why he cheeses so much: he's not very good at normal play. He should have stuck to cheesing in these 3 games.
Tasteless trashtalck between game 2 and 3 reminded me of Lazlow (V Rock) from GTA Vice City
Why are the uploads fucking slow? They already finished a ro.4 now
I prefer Tastosis over even the Korean commentary, btw
Man I miss anti spoilers, just make the video like 3 hours. 1 hour best of 5 means after the first game you know how it ends.
Anti spoiler browser extension - hides video length and progress bar
The perfect series, 5% gameplay 95% interviews & Korean ads
Spoiler
A bit anticlimatic overall for this series ...
I really would have wished that Shine did better but overall Royal was just dominant
are they no longer covering this? I just found 3 more matches to watch on another channel. guess ill be going with them from now on seeing as they at least upload on the regular. good luck being WEEKS behind.
Well, someone is certainly having a nice ASL
Tastetosis got me all excited for some off meta Zerg
I so want to see Royal vs Flash
This is awesome
Would it be worth the investment to add a valkrye vs muta?
With the new micro for valks, sometimes they do if they are going for armory. But vessels are better long term due to detection and defense matrix in addition to irradiate. Irradiate one of the best spells in the game since it only costs 75 mana and counters the muta stack. Valkyries cost more minerals and can still get wiped by 2 scourge as well.
Pacific Rim was awesome.
24:30 I'd like to see the defenders slightly deeper in the natural, in an arc of the choke
Sit there? In an arc........?
Good call
@@chrisbrannigan6210 I know a master strategy when I see one. Maybe I'm just better than Artosis.
When the fuck is flash coming back? I thought he was back from his mandatory military service
Lets go!
Gonna go and make an omlette now 😝
GGs
Holy hell what a swift shit kicking. Poor dude that's a rough way to be eliminated
I thought they didn't give Royal enough props for his ro16 victory. He looked solid as hell. This ro8 proves it. He moves on !
Every time I hope haha. Bummer.
I can't believe this is round of 8. These games feel low quality.
hey Afreeca, for those who have not watched prior matches, please don't spoil the results by adding player names in the title. thanks
57:48 look at the body language of shine...
What happened to the anti spoiler buffer, guys?
Oh Shine.
artosis said fuck

"Higher quality product"
As Tasteless has Big Head Mode activated.
