This will be hilarious if true and I fully await Flash to pick three protosses in his group

Meanwhile, in flogging a dead horse news, there's a new TSL just been announced

The funny thing about watching a group of Parting, Dream, Creator, and Ragnarok is when you realize that one of them has to become the winner of a GSL group

lmao

asl finals, thanks to afreeca for starting the broadcast two hours earlier than normal to spoil everything

Ro16 group A is great - you'll laugh, you'll cry, there's great games and there's games that make you wonder how someone got into the GSL.

Players are outdoing themselves to bring up weird builds and cheeses.
Really fun games in this group A and the round of 24 wasn't too shaby either.
Tastosis were on fire last cast, sometimes they are over loud but sometimes they are really hilarious (I love them ) .
Great days of starcraft and I've been watching all the games from Ro24 to now as I have plenty of time these days.

Really enjoyed Ro16 group A

I think the most compelling matchup was the loser's bracket

Same:

lol

I don't think this is too much of a spoiler: I turned on the GSL stream right after the first game of the first match started and the first thing I see is 4 proxy rax

Is GSL all cheese now? lol

Yes, and I love it.

Loser's match:

Speaking of cheese, I've been watching a few videos on Lowko's channel of some player Florencio who's doing plenty of really weird stuff at high diamond/low masters level which clearly won't work in an actual game but is amusing enough to watch

Pig has a shitload of casted Florencio games on his Youtube chanenl as well. It is indeed hilarious.

lol, the first one i saw literally was a derivation of the "from rush" from brood war, whereby you indulge in unexpected chat and while the opponent is paying attention to that he's not paying attention to you making buildings in his base

heh, randomly saw this in my imgur folder the other day from years ago

tasteless and artosis are starting to really get annoying with their video game gatekeeping. like guys we get it you're fiercely passionate and defensive of RTS but you don't have to be so passive aggressive about calling out other video games and things that you don't think are "real" esports.

people watching GSL casts already are fans, it's not like you even should be trying to convince them of starcraft's position among games. makes me almost think it's some weird attempt at an inside joke that seems to me to fall flat (unless i'm in the minority).

like, this is at least 3 or 4 times within a single season where they've talked about the exact same thing. i mean it's definitely better than hearing tasteless talk about how he DOESN'T USE REDDIT GUYS or how PROTOSS HAS TO PUNISH THE ZERG but can they not brainstorm a single other topic to discuss?

Group C match 1

Group D

dark was a pretty big fav on nitrogen like 1.5
