@@uxie6177not like rush lost 50 percent of his first army while killing no lurker, then moves out with a shit army instead of reconsolidating lmao stay mad tesagi abusers
I feel like Rush's vessel control was actually really really good this round. Normally we see TvZ with a bunch of vessels getting plagued and miscontrolled into death. But rush really was on point and didn't let his vessels die needlessly.
Rush was undoubtedly the mechanically superior player. Any game where Soulkey didn't gain a huge advantage via outstrategizing him, Rush's mechanics ground him down. That said, glad the strategically superior player pulled it off in the end, I will always root for outhinking vs outplaying.
Agree! Conversely I often see zergs who have plagued like nine vessels but never actually finish them off. SK did good work converting his plagues into actually dead vessels. Going hydra always helps with this, but he definitely microd some hydras to get the kills, and once built a muta for just that - and didn't lose it before killing a few vessels
@@XUndergroundRapits the settled no fucks given bear. They look similar but are completely different. Tbh i would find it much cooler too if he kept in shape ^^
He’s a human being with a world going on around and within him. Couldn’t care less what he looks like, so long as he does a great job which imo he does. He’s a chill dude and if you’re watching this, it’s in massively part possible because of him.
Love the game 5 intro of Tasteless in the bottom left and cat in the top right. I love that you two real-time play off of each others words. Keep it up you two fantastic casters!
Thank you for the upload. Soulkey was one of my favorite players on the woongjin stars team back in the starcraft pro leagues like 13 years ago. He was a great player known for his steel wall style, but he just was never quite "good enough" to make it deeper into the tournaments. Great to see that he's finally reached the finals of the asl for the first time and really wish him all the best. It's because of players like him and the continued BW tournaments via Afreeca that broodwar has still survived even after all these times.
Game 1 was really exciting and showed the value of the firebat. Rush built so many firebats he had to sacrifice tank production, but it clearly worked. Every force had at least two firebats mixed in, often more, and they pushed a lot of positions that terrans tend to struggle with (like one lurker, one defiler, and a few lings).
Yeah, game 5 showed how nicely they can deny ling reinforcements, which really dampens the effect of dark swarm before the engagement with it even occur.
OMG hell yes. This was amazing to watch. I can’t believe he won. My fav player of all time comes through despite multiple games where it looked impossible. And what an ass beating at the end. I’ve never wanted someone to win something so much as I will for the final. Amazing series
I feel the same way, I'm so elated that he won and couldn't be happier. Even if he ultimately doesn't win the trophe I feel like he already won in my eyes 🥹
The winner played out of their minds. The fact that in the final game, they should have been behind economically, and yet managed to be so aggressive as well as getting such a big army advantage that he had a crushing attack at the end just showed that he was operating at the top level in every way - strategically, micro and macro.
Rush did go braindead in the 2 games before the last one a bit sure. But he didn't waste any marines in the final game, moved out and straight got zerged down from pure macro. @@elisabettajdj335
First and last game were examples of him learning from his mistakes and executing better next time. He was much more careful, used deception when he could, and planned ahead. Also, making Rush slow crawl his way through the map to buy time was so well done. Definitely well earned. Rush played a great series as well
I really appreciated that moment he was leap froging the lurkers. That slowed the push so much. It was that move that alowed for so much more lurkers to join and the defiler to be made
Love you guys. This has been a really sick ASL. You guys can do whatever you want with the production as long as we get to keep you guys casting these high level games.
2-3 have been good. rest between bad and mediocre. compared to most seasons this one's been pretty poor, so far. last season was at least as bad, though. most recent ones just have been the worst i can remember. i'm glad that others think them good, though @@Strohseph
i can't believe how good they've gotten at BW. that game 7 was insane. even though soulkey kept it hidden, rush was fast enough to pop out the marines, stim them, and throw them back in the bunker and crush the ling rush. then soulkey comes back like 2 mins later with defiler/lurker/guarian. what did i watch
Its so amazing seeing soulkey using the fact that you can start the greater spire but if you engage with your mutas and they die no worries just cancel it. Great tactic!
Soulkey is like Goku likes to take a beat up first to warm up than takes off his facemask like Goku takes off his heavy clothes and start kicking butts lol.
Naw Rush being in a rush and threw hard, once u get your 2nd valkyrie the muta's are literally useless and can't harass anymore, you sit back get your science vessels and then push out with a massive army.
@Josh-bo8oi SoulKey denied the factory at least 3 times in a situation that looked grim for him. I'm not certain where, but a scan happens at 1:19:30, which is exactly when SoulKey adds a 3rd hatch, something he would know would be a target. Rush has no way of knowing for sure how even the game is at this point or if SoulKey was pumping drones or not. Rush made a tactical choice and paid for it due to SoulKeys tactics.. Am I good at SC:BW? No. Is that my interpretation. Yes.
@@bandwarrior007 Soulkey Rushed Rush and Rush held it taking zero damage, he had comsat for at least 5 minutes before he pushed out, meaning he should of saw Soulkey was super low on drones, 3rd hatch or not Rush was in no way behind, if anything he is still ahead, with the 2 valks and 2 CC's he can easily replenish his mineral lines and be looking to get a 3rd base soon with the Muta's now pretty much useless. No there is really no reason why he HAS to push right then and kill Soulkey, he got antsy and he paid for it. The smart play is to wait for a science vessel and play out a longer game, period end of story, and this game is a perfect example of why you wait for that science vessel, hold position lurkers ending your tournament as this was the swing game. Rush won all of the games that went long too so I really don't know why he rushed out in this instance, was really such a big throw.
Over the past year or two I've totally come to agree. I'm a Masters Terran in SC2, I never played BW on any competitive level and have barely played it since SC2 came out, but I only really watch BW now. It seems like such a more interesting game.
@@yyyy-uv3po I think it is also much due to the "poorer" pathfinding, units will get stuck on each other and not form the "ball" of the "deathball". You really have to position your units rather than just telling them to move somewhere. This is also what lets workers stay alive so long against Zerglings and why blocking in general is so much more powerful.

However, regardless of who wins the second semi-final the winner there will beat SoulKey's record. (worst case scenario Mini 13-7 or effOrt 12-4) - New shortest game this season: tonight's game on Neo Dark Origin was only 2:59! This beats soma vs Calm's game on Apocalypse by 21 seconds! - SoulKey wasn't wrong by choosing Invader, Zerg was 5-0 on the map before tonight. However, he did one mistake... spawning in the bottom right! That spawn is now 3-10! - La Campanella continous to bring us long games, the average game time is 20:24! Contrast that with Neo Dark Origin's 10:25. Tonight's game on La Campanella takes the 10th spot for longest games this season at 22:53. - The 11 o'clock spawn on Polypoid is 0-5 this season. This is the only spawn across all maps that has never one a game. There are three spawns with only one win each: La Campanella's 1 o'clock 5 o'clock; and Tempest's 11 o'clock.
So I accidentally clicked on the finals match vod before watching this one (Not a complaint comment, I know I'm late and I know it was my mistake). As soon as I realized what I had done I clicked out of it but I had already seen the names of the finalists. Now, given I knew the result of this match color me completely surprised by how this match actually unfolded. What an absolutely stunning series.
I think the Caster Park interviews are where I miss the subtitles the most. They are usually so funny, but with them being dubbed over it doesn't have the same appeal.
1:52 ish discussing Scouts and "the most unique situation" - one of my favorite games ever Kal vs ForGG on Colosseum. That was like KESPA days but I recommend it. Also 152:30 should be on some pimpest play video. That control to target like that...
It felt like in game one muta should've done much more dmg in that position. I didn't expect Rush to handle it so gracefully after a completely failed start (some would've gg'd in that case).

That series was beyond any of my expectations. Incredible. Wow!

An absolute ass beating in the last minute out of nowhere!
It's pretty crazy how Zerg can transition through failed kill moves into a strong macro game.

May the warriors express humility in victory and resiliency in defeat. For these opportunities shall be cherished, and never presumed.

incredible performances, what a display of courage and heart in the face of adversity. ice cold solid steel, cant wait for the finals

Part of it is explained by Tasteless at 1:53:26
Having small control groups prevents deathballs, and makes the battles more spread and last longer.
Yes and way more positional because units are less responsive, which means more strategy-oriented. @@yyyy-uv3po

*[Comments]*
- After tonight's bouts SoulKey now has a 12-7 record and Rush a 11-5 record this season. However, regardless of who wins the second semi-final the winner there will beat SoulKey's record. (worst case scenario Mini 13-7 or effOrt 12-4)
- New shortest game this season: tonight's game on Neo Dark Origin was only 2:59! This beats soma vs Calm's game on Apocalypse by 21 seconds!
- SoulKey wasn't wrong by choosing Invader, Zerg was 5-0 on the map before tonight. However, he did one mistake... spawning in the bottom right! That spawn is now 3-10!
- La Campanella continous to bring us long games, the average game time is 20:24! Contrast that with Neo Dark Origin's 10:25. Tonight's game on La Campanella takes the 10th spot for longest games this season at 22:53.
- The 11 o'clock spawn on Polypoid is 0-5 this season. This is the only spawn across all maps that has never one a game. There are three spawns with only one win each: La Campanella's 1 o'clock 5 o'clock; and Tempest's 11 o'clock.
Most exciting (and stressful) series so far. Thanks for the cast Tastosis and shoutout to the production team!!!
Insane series! Both would have deserved to advance to the finals!
Insane series!
Wow what a series. Nice build order punishes by the winner!
невероятные матчи.Ребятам спасибо за отличную работу
I love Tasteless, Artosis, and Broodwar.
This was peak brood war. I'm a tosser but I was on the edge of my seat by the end!!
thx uuuu 🎉🎉🎉
There was a lot of brilliant side from both sides. Pleasure to watch.
OMG!!! love this
So I accidentally clicked on the finals match vod before watching this one (Not a complaint comment, I know I'm late and I know it was my mistake). As soon as I realized what I had done I clicked out of it but I had already seen the names of the finalists. Now, given I knew the result of this match color me completely surprised by how this match actually unfolded. What an absolutely stunning series.
It felt like forever waiting, but it's all worth it.
what a series, what a decider game, wow!!
Artosis needs to buy a cardboard cutout of Tasteless.
or a hand puppet
Fantastic cast as always ❤. Can you add additional time at the end of every video (make every video 4h long) to prevent spoilers?
Maybe the best series I've ever seen
amazing series
Wow this series was amazing
HYPE!
Maybe spoilers, idk
Soulkey is such a crowd pleaser. What an incredible best of 7. Im excited for the finals.
The winner has really been playing amazing all tourney. His macro is totally insane . Really impressive stuff.
Game sound is too low
I think the Caster Park interviews are where I miss the subtitles the most. They are usually so funny, but with them being dubbed over it doesn't have the same appeal.
1:15:34 "I think he's gonna gg man" - artosis
I love you man and know nothing about sc1 but that was funny af :D
Insane series
Atleast 1440p quality on next ASL please. Love you guys.
Hell of a series
Amazing games!
The end of game three was so sick
Fast Work! TY guys!
Nice can't wait to watch this later
Dont read comments major spoilers here...
@@stiv66630 thanks. I will avoid them
1:52 ish discussing Scouts and "the most unique situation" - one of my favorite games ever Kal vs ForGG on Colosseum. That was like KESPA days but I recommend it.
Also 152:30 should be on some pimpest play video. That control to target like that...
right as i get home with dinner
good timing
Phenomenal set
Soulkey is dangerous by default but being broke makes him a real threat lol
my god what a series
volume up on game sounds and music please. as well as crowd audio
It felt like in game one muta should've done much more dmg in that position. I didn't expect Rush to handle it so gracefully after a completely failed start (some would've gg'd in that case).
Holy sh!7!!! Those hold position lurkers made my brain explode
When those guardians appeared from the left bottom of the screen it was IT. Some epic music missing haha
