A previously damaged Drone commanded to morph into an Extractor and then canceled will also be restored to full health. This can lengthen a scouting Drone's life by morphing and canceling an Extractor in an opponent's base. So with that logic, it's probably safe to assume a damaged drone's HP is not reflected to the building since it will just heal the drone back to full HP anyway if you cancel a structure.
Why didn't he just cancel it then? This was the exact moment he started the gateway. He could still make up for it than let's say 15 something seconds later
@@tehvolka So if he canceled and rebuilt it as soon as possible, he would have been in a worse shape than what we saw here? This is a serious noob question, I only play against AI 😂 so please bear with me
Season 14 is going to be REALLY exciting to watch with Bisu and soma both seeded into the Ro16, there's going to be top tier group selection banter to be had and I can't wait! Wonder if flash will return in time for the qualifiers... I miss seeing him play so strongly against everyone, but I'm enjoying him not playing far more!!!
@@gunkanjima3408 Both can be true. He does genuinely rage, but at the same time he knows it brings in views and donos so he plays it up more at times. Possibly even straight fakes it at other times.
Great cast! About Bisu's style... probably the math was done, but if the Zerg's decision is not to attack until Lair tech is out, why not build a sunken covering the mineral line? It would prevent zealot from engaging in an advantageous position and greatly reduce the number of lings needed to be hatch (thus more drones out). It also serves later in the game against the zealots run-by. Spore also could deter corsair commitment that makes your supply plummet. I can only assume it's either too costly or pros would rather have lings that can be use to counter-attack/be mobile to cover both the nat and the 3rd bases. Any semi-pro out there that could enlighten me?
Not a semi-pro but watching soulkey (I think?), he did have more static defense in his expansions. With the static d you're just accepting that you will be behind early. With the lings there's more variance, maybe you will be even more behind, or maybe you clean up the toss harass nicely, get some zealot/probe pick offs on the map, get a ling run-by, etc. There's just more play with lings, but there's also more risk, I don't think there's a right answer here, its just about how much risk you want to take to try to get ahead.
You'd have to spend 350 minerals and 2 larva to have a single sunk at your nat and third. At that point, protoss just doesn't commit and you're behind over a hatchery, or they run by to the main because you have no zerglings. Every sunk/spore is 175 minerals, so they need to save you at least 175 to be worth. You save on larva, but have to spend a drone with such a high mineral cost. A spore to defend against corsairs is effective against 3-4, but when the protoss goes up to 5-6 they can just ignore the damage and kill overlords anyways. Each spore is nearly 2 overlords in cost as well, so a spore needs to save 2 for it to be worth. (It also promotes heavy clustering of the overlords near the spore, which makes life even more painful if the protoss hits enough sairs to engage, while also generally adding a weakness to DT harass.) Pros will forever prefer lings for the much greater utility and rely on hydra/scourge to defend overlords. Most below the pro level would be well served by setting up static D, especially to help with the eventual DTs. To be fair, most protoss below the pro level will do much worse in controlling their zealots (or as well/better while floating 1k minerals) so lings still generally work well.
55:00 "What is that placement?" For a few seconds I totally thought you were still talking about having a 3rd place match. I mean, if 2 people are in 3rd place, what even IS that placement?
It's pretty easy to avoid if it's just the names in the title. A lot better than some other casters who put the faces of the players in the thumbnail. I had the entire ro4 spoiled because of Scan's cast.
I'm so glad the ZvP matchup has evolved since soma's victory in season 10. Back when I watched that season, soma made that matchup look utterly unwinnable for Protoss, and hence not particularly fun to watch, either. Whereas all the ZvPs in the top 4 looked to me like they could've gone either way if things had gone very slightly differently.
discussion bout 3th and 4th place matches, They need it for Group Selection to decide who is Group C and D and as we know D is worst so players have reason to win aside money...
Good games today. Been wondering, anyone Who knows what Bashford and ysj stands for in their ingame names? Googled it and checked TL but cant find any info on it
a not-very-helpful-but-possibly-better-than-nothing-answer: I think it has smth to do with their starcraft academies they're in (names/abbreviations of them?)
---SPOILER ALERT--- Game 4 was probably the worst Bisu game I have ever watched. Maybe I am super ignorant, but assuming Bisu didn't make a mistake with that wall, is there a good reason why he walled that way? The only reason I could think of is that Bisu absolutely did not want a Hydra Bust to destroy his Forge while upgrading +1 Weapons. Even then, if his Gateway was up one hex higher, he could have put the Cyber Core where the Forge usually goes, have a semi-normal wall and place 3-4 cannons in a vertical line to defend against the Hydra push at 1:03:25. Someone with more insight can tell me why I am wrong.
What I think SOMA did wrong in game 3 is he didn't make spores against the corsairs and he didn't make any zerglings at the end against the goons. The Zerglings have to fight the dragoons, not the Zealots. The zerglings are great vs goons and absord alot of goon damage. The toss might even pull the zealots back from the hydras to defend his goons from the zerglings. Also zerglings would been great for a run-by. And better against high templar. I think a mix of ling hydra is much stronger than only hydras and lurkers... PS: Tastless!!!! I WANT A THIRD PLACE BATTLE!!! I WANT MORE STARCRAFT!!! I WANT THE BATTLE FOR THE THIRD PLACE!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Tastosis and crew for another amazing cast! @community: does anybody know the ASL outro song by any chance (1:32:17 and onwards)? Usually I manage to find out but so far no success. Very much appreciated!

Dunno now tho and it’s w/e, thanks to both of you
@@rekbusome yeah they also last much longer than in sc2 where it feels like battles just end so quickly. a battle in brood war can go on for over a minute but i feel like in sc2 it's 20 seconds or less.
I have been suggesting that overlords get the ability to land for years! I want to be able to wall in (more easily) like everyone else!. (I mostly play SC2. just saying)
So i was looking forward to see some epic oldschool ZvP SCI but then i just see 4x the same build order and its incredibly boring to look at, is this normal in competitive play? the last match was a breath of fresh air... or so i thought, because then its all literally the same thing all over AGAIN for f*cks sake, is corsair really all that u have to offer in PvZ ?
Wins least frequently is not the same as worst. Worst would need to be objectively measurable and with rotational balance it becomes next to impossible since all tactics are theoretically susceptible to counters from each race.

Thanks fellas for the endlessly high quality SCBW casting!
pity the games this season have been the worst in memory. the final might still be good, though
@@cl8804 asl got boring to me after watching bsl. Bo1s and super short series gets old. Surprised at how much everyone loves it so much.
IS THIS. the best ASL ever or what. LEGENDARY run by BISU. 17 years later and just as impressive.
No Flash = no best ASL
Actually, it is in fact the worst ASL in my memory.
@@cl8804 with or without the finals? are you a mini fan?
@@holyender515 maybe he’s a snow fan. Finals sucked… sort of. Very well played series by the winner.
Maybe not my favourite ASL ever but it was a solid season for sure! Bisu did a great job. :)
I'm 33 and I discovered the game in 1999 or 2000. Loved it and been a fan since then
Same. I still remember getting it off the shelf on a whim.
You boys are legends
I really hope Bisu can win ASL next season. He's an absolute legend. It would be amazing to see him win at least one before he has to retire.
Uploaded 30 minutes ago? Absolutely perfect timing, y’all are legends
Relaxing with a nice cup of fruit juice and watching ASL Tastosis.
Great matches, congratulations to winner 🏆!
Take into account that Bisu just came back and smashed the best Z in the scene right now. Amazing to see him perform like this

Can an Arbitor stasis a burrowed lurker? or any burrowed unit?
@@benineimeo no
54:59 in game 4 you can see from bisu's shake of the head that the gateway for the wall was a mistake.
Even the greatest make mistakes huh
Why didn't he just cancel it then? This was the exact moment he started the gateway. He could still make up for it than let's say 15 something seconds later
@@AwonDanag Because your timings will be off, plus you lose some minerals (38 ish). It just ruins the opening (even more).

@@AwonDanag oh yeah, if he cancelled and rebuilt he could easily lose at that moment to lings, or at least be in even worse shape.

Oh yay, the appetizer before the main course. Dig in, boys.
Great content! Thanks for all the hard work you guys put in.
So glad to see Bisu regaining his old power. Gg's!
Awesome Series & Amazing Casting as always! Congrats to Bisu.
Man, I can't believe these two cats are still at it casting as a duo. It's great.
I love that we NEVER get any spoilers in comment sections under any ASL videos!
great to see what passion you two still have for broodwar especially artosis who sometimes rages af when he loses against "clowns" and "apes"
They're paid actors. He pretends to rage because it makes kids laugh on Twitch.

Hell yeah love the uploads in quick succession
Great games! Did we get any further insight into the gateway placement? in one of the games
It’s was a gayteway bisu practices the power of gaytoss
the best casters no doub
First game starts at 6:08
Aw, don't put the name of who's playing the third place match :( didn't finish watching the Ro4 yet.

Love the casts but so slow to upload!
Wow never heard of that sunken bug. Its range was so long for those few shots... weird

hope the finals is gonna be awesome

Feels like Bisu had some consistency issues. His wins look fine, but throughout this season his losses looked kind of crushing.

Tastosis to start my week!
I really like the 3rd place match in my case ^^
00:39:42 "Ancient Zealot rushes from 1998..." Pure gold.
3rd place match was better than 1st place, change my mind
No one who’s seen both is going to argue with you.
Got a question, why do players prefer this version rather then sc2
nostalgia , difficulty and unit preference in a mix usualy
it's more balanced through years and years of mapmaking. Also a much more difficult game to be good at, so its more impressive to watch pros.
I find it a lot more interesting, personally. I like both games and have gone through phases, but I always come back to BW.
BW has some nice aesthetics and battles look and feel really nice.
@@rekbusome yeah they also last much longer than in sc2 where it feels like battles just end so quickly. a battle in brood war can go on for over a minute but i feel like in sc2 it's 20 seconds or less.
What do they get for getting 3rd place? Free ticket for Ro.16 for season 14? and loser doesnt?
M O N E Y
Does anyone know the song at 1:56?
If the flying scv trick is banned for cheating, why isn't the sunken range trick banned?
Damn now i need to choose what i am going to watch now,now only Artosis now Tastless is also trolling me?
Rip my bedtime
Wait a minute, Ro4 is BO7, but third place BO5? Weird
Wish the finals weren't PvT 🙄 but I'm still excited for it
any chance to cast ASTL?
ill donate for that
What is ASTL?

Yes yes yes yes yes
nice job, Bisu
wena conchesupato!!!
el casteo en español esta cada vez peor.

I was rooting for soma since casters were soo bisu biased. Sad the cannon rush got him at the end.
In this old game the Q about hatchery/ drone and interacting health is just too silly.
ggwp
But flash is always ahead
Sc bw is 4ever!!!!
Terran in the finals? I thought Terran was the worst race?
Wins least frequently is not the same as worst. Worst would need to be objectively measurable and with rotational balance it becomes next to impossible since all tactics are theoretically susceptible to counters from each race.
kaaaaaw
