That game 4 was actually sick. Rush pulled a Serral v Ragnarok game 5 gg timing I think. Probably would've lost but definitely gged early. Especially when your tournament life is on the line.
I think rush still had chance in that 4 game, the economic damage to hero was about tha same, he was very mining, watch the minimap and see he is not sending more waves of units to kill rush. The terran did still had the vessels, he could manage to mine some minerals the marine army is cheap, its not a good unit to face late cracklings and ultras with darkswarm of course, but at least its cheap. Maybe rush just didnt feel like going into that super late crazy game, even if he won, wich of course realisticly he had a low chance, still has to go for a fifth game and win to advance in the tournament. And yeah at the end i believe HerO totally deserves advancing he was better than rush.
Eh, with Hero still having a good amount of minerals, he could have completely stopped making gas units and only Ling and the vessels would have been essentially worthless.
nyoken is getting really good too! and scan is lots of fun. wait a sec.. arty, scan, and nyo are all terrans.. i wonder if this means that terran is superior?
Funny thing I noticed, they just had it mentioned that the player name graphic also shows the clock positions of the starting bases, but what wasn't mentioned is that it takes about 10 seconds or more into the game clock for them to put up that graphic; already past the time when Tastosis needs to have introed the starting positions!
Besides the StarCraft I think my favorite parts of these videos are when the graphics just happen to be on the screen for a lot longer than tasteosis think it will. 😂
I think rush got beat up so badly he gave up a game he had a pretty good shot in, Hero is just so hard to play, Rush is my favorite player and I'll keep cheering for him every time. He'll get back to the finals eventually, I'm a little worried about the state of balance finally caving where one race runs away with it now that players are getting so good.
SPOILER ALERT: Did Rush really have to gg the last game? I think he could've turned it around with like 6-7 science vessels that were left? Both of them were at really really low supply.
not sure if he had it but there was at least somewhat of a chance. Definitely a premature gg when your tournament life is on the line, even if there's only a 5% chance you stay in the game and play it out until it's for sure at 0%
@@EB-bl6cc I agree, I think he had some chances to definitely turn it around because he had "infinite value" units in game with low econ on both sides.
I am curious. Since the show is done from a recording couldn't you just make someone set a timer before and after the games(so that you don't know when the game is going to end) to have a countdown to transitions?
@@wotlordzik3339 What i mean is you start the cast and the timer shows T-10m to game start. then no timer and when the game ends timer shows T-2 minutes to ads etc
*** not sure why Rush gg so quickly, think he could've tried to stabilize. He had some infantries and 4 vessels left to def and like 4 ccs to pump out scv vs herO's 2 hatch + 2 inproduction and almost 0 in the bank so he won't be attacking soon besides those 4 scourge you saw in the last clip
He's down 10 workers vs. 26 and Zerg based has some minerals left. His Vessels doesn't have energy left to Irradiate via eraser or against Ultras, and Zerg has enough gas for a couple of Scourge or a single Ultra. At that point Zerg will just focus on killing his workers which is basically gg.
Rush was mentally broken at the end of game 4. TvZ is a really hard matchup, even at the pro level, and Hero is just too good to lose to almost anyone. I think he has a good chance of winning it all.
@@veidro The Bastions provide Terran with an excellent field of fire for siege tanks. No other race can abuse the wall structure as well as them. They quite literally have a citadel to defend their base with.
@@veidro For TvZ in particular "normal map" is T favored. Siege tanks see frequent use in the matchup even if they aren't the backbone, and mech is probably a bit stronger here.
Yeah really did feel like that. Even though Hero should 100% win from that position, it's always possible he would screw up trying to close it out too quickly and that could have given Rush the opportunity to get back in the game. But the real mistake was sending his vessels back to meet up with his army in the bottom left. Wonder if that was a hotkey mistake, cost him the game I think. Vessels were almost home and then suddenly turned back.
@@Voodoo9097 Yeah I noted that as well. It 100% would've changed the game, because the single defiler is what won it for zerg, which would've been irradiated. No reason for vessels to go back when 7 o clock main and nat were already razed.
Amazing play by Hero! No surprises there, but it's nice to see him advance. I'm cheering for Sharp, but assuming Hero wins the semi, I'd love for him to win the final. It's funny viewing Hero as such a solid, scary player - but in the interview he's actually somewhat unconfident.
INSANE set, easily could have been an ASL finals with these two, look forward to the winner roughing up Sharp something awful in the next round! Spoiler area, the mental strain was crazy in that final game. After the completely disgusting holds by her0 on Citadel and put on his back foot with his tournament life on the line, you could see that Rush did not have the confidence to be aggressive and take the win. It's wild how closely matched these two are, and even though the gameplans were extremely standard, the decision-making mindgames were absolutely critical and ultimately what won the set for her0. Personally I would love to see either of these players finally take an ASL, so here's hoping her0 can finally get to hold that trophy (though the winner of the other side of the bracket is going to be a monster!)
-- spoiler -- no, rush didnt premature gg that last game: -there where 10 scv vs 26 drones, also no minerals in main for rush and very few in the natural, so he had to transfer scv's to the other bases (he had 2) that where undefended and can not be defended or else your main will fall. - vessels without energy and some where at 1 health. - hero had 2 new bases that rush could not contest. - he was even down in supply, 48 vs 61. - rush had 7 medics and 2 dropships by the end wich are not great when you are at 48 supply.
Dude, I follow Tasteless and Artosis casting since early Kespa era and always perceived them as world class commentators. But when I get used to it and forget how good they are, Artosis says something like "he's missing his killer instinct", leaving me speechless in awe, again.
Does anyone think rush tapped out a little too early in that last game? He still had a little bit of bio left and he had the sneaky base in the bottom eight mining a little
I've been wondering the same thing. I would think that there would be some boost from something like this, where I made my own comment and also am making a reply to your comment. I suspect there would be less value placed on me just making two of my own comments, but I'm fully talking out my butt.
YEAH LETS GO MINI. Only Toss that can kill Zerg. I heard the mini fanboy shoutout. (Cmon Snow ;-; Stop hurting my soul like Stork used to) Seriously though hype match. Rush is such a briliant player to watch TvZ. By.Hero's record speaks for itself.
these chair advertisements are trippy asf is the marketing team going for some kind of "let's creep the viewer out and unsettle them.. that will make them remember our chair! and, if we're lucky, it will get them to also buy some mesh stockings and bodysuits that our other client sells.. win-win.."
Yeah, I mean, in the start they're pretty ok, but the mesh parts are .... jeez. Quite cringe. But like Ivan said, maybe it's something common in Korea, I don't know.
So... I watched the whole Nyoken cast because it was out earlier... then I had to watch it all again for the Tasteosis banter... does that make me a bad person?
Rush really needs a better draw at some point. Every ASL he has to go through hero and/or Soulkey and it's tough to beat those guys all the time and get back to the finals. hero was due for a win here and hopefully he takes the finals over Soulkey
**SPOILER ALERT** Rush GGed way too early in the last game, Hero was completely broke and could only build zerglings anyways against 6 science vessels and some firebats and medics left. There is a very good chance he could have won that still
On a serious note, why does Tasteless run over Artosis in the cast so much more now? I feel like this wasn't a problem in previous seasons. I'm assuming it's because of the new set up they're doing this season and the delay it causes but man. Can they not fix it, happens SO often. Messes with the synergy I normally feel they have
@@ZoeCalico True, but since AfreecaTV dropping the English casting, it has been alright even though they don't cast in-person anymore. It's just something with the setup this season that's awful. I liked the hotel room vibes from earlier on I LOVE Tasteless' ramblings but this season is rough.
G2: 1- killing the spire was inspired, but why not then target the defiler mound? Zerg can't make defilers while he's rebuilding that. 2- firebats in bunkers! firebats in bunkers! firebats in bunkers!

Well played
Thanks for the great casting, as per usual. I'd love to hear you guys reacting to the player interviews (both pre and post games) more if possible.
It's possible the translation hasn't been added to the VOD when they cast it, and Artosis edits it in afterward. I'm not sure.

Premature tap from rush in game 4!! He had vessels man! Unbelievable. Hero was also decimated. Crazy.
Rush had no army. One or 2 marines every 30 seconds with a bunch of vessels can't do anything. He also only had 5 scvs which couldn't mine
