2024-04-15 05:45:12 +0000 UTCBoth guys stream on the regular. Could try interacting with them in the chat, but they both usually have an embrago on when they are willing to discuss ASL results so not to spoil it for people who have not watched yet.

2024-04-15 02:25:22 +0000 UTCHi! Great stuff! A suggestion: could you pad the videos so that they are always 3.5 hours or something? The duration of the clip is sort of a spoiler in itself.

2024-04-13 20:49:53 +0000 UTCSPOILERS SORRY 1st post here I haven't figured markdowns here yet I'm putting a long post because this match. THIS MATCH. phewwwww ::: spoiler 1) You both came into the match well prepped, looking at ya notes. I was surprised during the selection process while hyping this match, you both forgot it was the S16 FINALS, LAST SEASON! But I could relate, usually the scores of the series don't really capture how close the games were, but SK mollywhopped Mini, as reflected in score. of course gotta mention the 7 pool, the mad man, also gotta mention Mini practicing in Single player, plays that game of optimization chicken, ala iloveoov. Gotta bring up RT love/hate relationship vs 2 gate pressure, but especially on Troy. All boxes checked, and then first Game Mini says "watch this, hold my pylon." 2) This match was NUTSSSS goes sideways starting game 1, every game is NOWHERE near any of expectations, hell anything I'd see in my wildest dreams. And it was because ~it takes two baby~ When Soulkey just flipped a switch, "It's like that, huh? SHUTTLE, hold my larva" that winners interview was a final blow mercy killing to the back of the head, that last twist from Brutus, I'm not sure Mini's gonna recover vs Soulkey again. Just savage gamesmanship, like Warcraft2AI type savagery, even past the match games into the winners interview. 3) I swear if you covered up the names on these games, execution aside, you wouldn't expect to find this stuff at the top of the ladder to say. But because it's them, it is FUCKING BRILLIANT. And I'm totally happy RT mentioned a series like this. (Sorry for this tangent) This is why Serral can never be GOATed if he keeps staying with his current courses. It's these prep matches that pros can really lock in on the SMALLEST of details, use that to crack those seemingly invincible facade. These games were down and dirty, and brilliant because they aren't just blindly doing these moves, it's from prepping for the smallest of details like Mini raiding SKs bases right when SK want's to get in protoss face to hydra contain at nat, til Hive. So Mini saving the first set of off tempo, unupgraded speedlots from the first scouting pressure, to use again as 1of2 aiming for 3rd and Nat looking for damage while hydras out of position, anti-timing lurkers, and payday from punishing that typical zerg "overoptimization" always cutting mineral mining and static D. If they were on ladder, Tasteless and RT, would be HOT playing against cheese like this. But because it's a series of games instead of Bo1s like on ladder, RT pointed out just how Bril Minis' antitiming cheeses set up for the next game or even set tone for whole series so it can be flipped again. loved the callout on the over reaction on failed gamba-gamba build, losing to a build order, that honestly was perfectly normal and logical response to the games before. what are the odds of someone winning 3 coinflips and the last one is coin landing on edge? Felt like Mini was expecting to get modded on game 3. And of course u have Soulkey, I'm not a fan in that I spend alot of time watching, but I will defend his pre champion records as unapologetic apologist, same for snow, same for light (but he needs a break like queen). TBH, I'm not 100% sure SK doesn't intentionally put himself in these holes to bring excitement to his brand and matches, look at like season 16. Just every match was a nailbiter banger down to final games, but then finals, Mini kinda tilted a little too hard and Soulkey just took care of business. Imagine how boring it'd be if SK started getting Flash treatment, they'll start putting maps like Sparkle and Inner Coven again to ALSO deal with too many Terran at group stage. I'm not mad if it's true, my local baseball team SF Giants, were NOTORIOUS for playing on elimination games in the playoffs and the fans both joked, "Giants Games, Torture" during their heyday 2010s. So I'm ready for this, I'm all aboard on this ride as Soulkey gets recognized as the last bonjwa. I mean these are some FILTHY games and I have nothing but praise for both of them. Like if this were Shine, I wouldn't be flying as high as I am right now. 1st of all I thought you both came into the match well prepped, looking at ya notes. I was surprised during the selection process while hyping this match, you both forgot it was the S16 FINALS, LAST SEASON! But I could relate, usually the scores of the series don't really capture how close the games were, but SK mollywhopped Mini, as reflected in score. of course gotta mention the 7 pool, the mad man, also gotta mention Mini practicing in Single player, plays that game of optimization chicken, ala iloveoov.

These games were down and dirty, and brilliant because they aren't just blindly doing these moves, it's from prepping for the smallest of details like Mini raiding SKs bases right when SK want's to get in protoss face to contain at nat, so Mini can use speedlots to catch when hydras are out of position, punish typical zerg "overoptimization" always cutting mineral mining to then skip making production and defensive infastrucure. 4) If they were on ladder, Tasteless and RT, would be HOT playing against cheese like this. But because it's a series of games instead of Bo1s like on ladder, RT pointed out just how Bril Minis' antitiming cheeses set up for the next game or even set tone for whole series so it can be flipped again. loved the callout on the over reaction on failed gamba-gamba build, losing to a build order, that honestly was perfectly normal and logical response to the games before. what are the odds of someone winning 3 coinflips and the last one is coin landing on edge? Felt like Mini was in a ban/unban check and instead of getting Modded, he has to reapply for unban. 5) And of course Soulkey, just such a beast. TBH, I'm not 100% sure SK doesn't intentionally put himself in these holes to bring excitement to his brand and matches, looking at season 15 as the start, but season 16 just felt like it became intentional. In S16, every match was a nail-biting banger down to final games, but then the Finals, Mini kinda tilted a little too hard and Soulkey just took care of business, when you compare matches like that, it's obviously the nailbiters are more entertaining. Imagine how boring it'd be if SK mollywhopped Mini, like snow did to bisu. Because he's usually a macrostyle Z, he'd start getting Flash treatment, they'll start putting maps like Sparkle and Inner Coven into pool, incidentally, would ALSO deal with too many Terran at group stage. I'm not mad if it's true, my local baseball team SF Giants, were NOTORIOUS down to wire games during regular season, for continually playing in elimination games in the playoffs and the fans both joked, "Giants Games, Torture" during their heyday 2010s. So I'm ready for this, I'm all aboard on this ride as Soulkey gets recognized as the last bonjwa. I mean these are some FILTHY games and I have nothing but praise for both of them. Like if this were Shine, I wouldn't be flying as high as I am right now. :::

2024-04-12 19:59:15 +0000 UTCAwesome game! These two are a really good match- can’t wait until they face off again! On the VODs- Any chance the editors could hook us up with a little bit of the studio outro footage after tastosis sign off? Makes it feel a bit more like the original in-person studio cast! Thanks guys!

2024-04-12 18:26:37 +0000 UTCIs it possible to ask questions here or somewhere for Tastosis regarding the games that are played here? I'm so confused sometimes by player decisions, would be nice to hear someone who's more involved in the scene answer these questions or maybe even ask the players :P.
