For anyone wondering where Match 1 is, it's been delayed. Soulkey tested positive for COVID, so both Match 1 and 3 are scheduled to run back-to-back. Edit: The match's been rescheduled AGAIN, this time due to positive tests from Rain. Next week, boys. Mark your calendars.
That's a shame. They were both looking good and this might mess with their morale. They shouldn't have gone to the hospital or gotten tested in the first place though. If you get bit by a shark they will tell you you have covid.
Awesome! Is it possible to post the video as a premiere?? People can donate, , higher CTR, no spoilers and we know when the video will be released. ASL has always been a live event and TH-cam Premiere is a perfect tool!
@@yeon723 Rush was in multiple positions where he talked himself into taking the play that was more risky and ended up causing him to lose. The biggest one is game two, trying to go for soma when the lings and mutas were harassing and threatening to backdoor him already but he talked himself into rushing into a loss.
Spoilers: This match really makes me want to see Bisu vs Soma. Soma looked unbeatable. Bisu is my favorite player and the reason I started watching Brood War in the first place. Seeing his PvZ against Soma who looks fantastic would be very exciting in my opinion
@@filoflin5345 that doesn't change my personal opinion. Bisu is my favorite player and getting beat by someone 2:0 doesn't mean a best of 7 will be 4:0.
Hi guys, I appreciate your work a ton, and the work of your editors as well. But if you could try to do some anti-spoilers with this vods I think that would be great. Just adding like a still picture for an hour at the end. Unfortunately from the length of the video it was pretty easy to tell what the end result will be quite early :(.
This would ruin the videos algorithm performance on a number of metrics most importantly clicks after viewing completion. I agree spoilers suck but they’re already giving you the convenience of a VOD, you can’t expect them to nuke their ratings with an hour of still picture
@@scottcairns2933 For what it's worth, the money they make from views is basically change compared to what they get on Patreon ($10,000+ per month) so maybe it would be justified.
I've always liked Soma. I always root for him. For me he's the biggest underdog. If he makes it to finals vs Bisu, very good chance he'll win vs Bisu. His PVZ is the strongest
Could you guys please upload the video with a black screen to extend it so I can't just already see that it is a 3-0. It honestly kills the viewing experience knowing there is no chance of a comeback based off time.
@@Hjortur95 Everyone already skips the long ads in these videos. That wouldn't change anything. In fact I'm closing the video early because it's obviously the result right now.
You don't need timestamps when you see the match duration, I know exactly what happened and could have told you it was 2 quick zerg wins and a midgame zerg win based on the timing alone
Well, all you really know is that whoever wins the first game takes the set. The first game is the only one with any real suspense. Zerg could've gotten bunker rushed.
@@Liur. As soon as you see the video length, it's a spoiler. Back in the day they used to fill out short videos like this with dead air, so the length wouldn't give anything away. That was fans that did that though.
SICK RO8 this season, but I think this matchup was the one i was looking most forward to!! 39:44 he looks at opponent and thinks "that's it...?" - i am really growing into a fan of this guy
Boys, there needs to be some sort of spoiler prevention, with these short times, theres like a 99.9% chance that whoever wins the first game takes the series. Kinda takes the excitement out of it.
Yes agree they should have an anti spoiler still frame that runs at the end for like 45min or whatever. But there were youtube browser addons back in the day that hid the remaining time or added a random fake amount of remaining time
It's even worse as a late viewer. The title of these videos past the group of 16 tells all. It wouldn't be bad if the later videos didn't show up, but sometimes after watching some of the group of 24 vods it will have the literal finals as the next video or in the recommendations so I already know. I really hate seeing the player names in these vids and it's been like this forever.
Man, back in the Flash days I used to be all over the Terran OP train but in the last couple of ASL tournies Zerg just seems so fucking oppressive. Soma took a shit on Rush's chest. It seems like Zerg overall has more options, kill moves and general agency over the course of the game than Terran or Protoss. Maybe there are just a lot of top Zerg players atm. I realise now that Flash was just that good he made Terran look broken.
Zerg requires the least amount of buildings, has the most responsive units, and punishes other races mistakes harder because their units are much faster. If you mess up once you just die.
Terran is still really strong but these days the maps are better for Zerg than they were back then. It's kind of an unspoken truth that back in the hayday of BW, maps were designed to help Terran as ZvZ finals didn't draw viewers and some of the Zergs back then were just too dominant
SPOILER I feel like while soma had god like decision making, especially in the first game, it went more like Rush had very bad decision making with the advantages he had and threw the games, all except the first one where he clearly got outplayed.
Exactly, Rush was awesome last season, but he didnt played particullary good vs the others pros in his group. It is crazy that people just ignore the current season and seem to only remember last season when rush looked unstoppable.
Fantastic annihilation of a terran by my fav race. Thank you arty and Tasteless for a wonderful commentary as always. You guys are like what joe rogan is to MMA. Starcraft is perfect with u guys in the mix and i love every minute of your analysis and chemistry. Thank you so much for being in this season's commentary box. Love u guys
is there anyway that the Vods can extend the videos well beyond the matches? Adds spoilers when you get to game 3 (of 5) and there's only 25 minutes left. Or does anyone know how to watch these spoiler free without the youtube scrubber?
They don't go in the recording blind. They only give commentary that's not a giveaway who actually won, as they likely watched the game and/or knew the results beforehand. I think Arty's trying to be consistent with his comment at the end of Ro. 16 about the outcome of this match that Rush is likely to take the whole series IIRC. Not to mention that Rush took care of soma last season so he thought that this will be an easy victory.
@@paprykus yeah, as if that curse can affect something that already happened. You can literally tell the difference on how confidently he said that Rush is going to finals during the Ro. 8 draw and how he said now that Rush is going to win this matchup at 16:22. Like he's somewhat sounded doubtful now or having contradicting thoughts running at the back of his head, while literally nothing happened in between, right?
@@paprykus As far as consistency is concerned, he just iterated what he just already said prior to this game, albeit you can pretty tell the difference with all the stuttering and lack of conviction. So tell me, how can you call something a curse if you know what's already going to happen? So you're saying that Rush lost because Arty said he'd win the game during the recording? Try to be more reasonable.
@@paprykus You're not the first to say that, and I also can't tell if you're serious or not. The Arty curse might be a running joke, but I didn't buy yours because it sounds and smells BS given the circumstances. It's like you're trying to convince someone who watched a live game of basketball to watch a delayed telecast of that game because the losing team might still win. Others might jump in to it for laughs and giggles, but you should also expect some don't.
Rush is obviously one of the best Terran player, but did you guys noticed that he skipped the bunker in all three matches, and he would just die to aggression and counter attack? In all 3 games, just having a bunker at home to defend would have make such a great impact. Instead, he cuts corners going CC first without bunker. It is fine if you are Protoss, but the main goal of the Terran is to survive to the late game in early game.
please consider extending the video to make it less obvious its a 3-0. You could add an hour of details of your pateron or something. Thanks for the cast
Remember in GSL when they would add artificial time to the VODs so the time would not spoil who wins? Start adding that if you want Patreon subs. You are not casting to football fans, gamers deduce these things easily.
I was really rooting for Rush but damn Soma was looking so strong today. I think this might be his season. Side note: I love tasteless but man all you gotta do is mention the covid thing once that is it. Guy just keeps going on about it.
