[ENG] ASL S17 Ro.16 Group A (Bisu, Soulkey, JYJ and Mong) - ASL English (StarCastTV English)

e e e e e e e e e [Music] you're going to hear my [Music] heart e e e e e e good morning Starcraft fans we are finally here we're in the round of 16 group a and this time around to help us with the cast It's the Return of the one and only it's Eon Zerg what's up man hello nen glad to be here man this this is one of the hardest groups I remember for a past season Champion so obviously yeah it's a pleasure to be here casting this one yeah this is a really good group we've got bisu we've got Suki we've got Mong and we've got jyj really top tier players from all three races you know we've got Suki the previous winner we've got jyj a previous winner we've got bisu a legend and then Mong looking in to make an upset in my opinion I think this is a really stack group I don't know why Suki wants to play jyj why he would swap action out because they had a really close Series in their previous Encounters in ASL I have no idea Sol against jyj makes it makes no sense like J J is like a master in terus he actually beat Suki with that two star por Grace the season he won the the ASL so I really don't know why s be he already beat H last season he like he's like doing a revenge tour now with with j i I don't know what what is it yeah I I think this is going to be a really tough group actually for a lot of the players you know actually jyj and vu have some history in previous asls jyj knocked bisu out I think in the round of 16 twice he did it if I remember correctly also jyj and bisu formerly on SK Telecom together so there's a lot of history there uh Mong I guess the Lone Wolf here he's he was on CJ intis I don't think he has you know the most history between these players at least in tournaments but he's been playing well maybe he can make it out of this group but I think it's going to be a really tough task for him because everybody else is just so solid yeah um he thre the mon didn't really make any Deep Run I always remember this like Mo was like a super solid Teran until he meet chant one time he was dancing on a stream being super happy that shine got uh to H in in the round of eight and then like Chine destroyed H three out and that was that was it for mon like he fell off so hard that he never recovered and now he more like a player yeah the the game you're referencing is of course that circuit breakers game or that series the circuit breaker Series where Soul key or not Soul key shine ended up going for that fake drop we saw Zealot attempt a fake drop this season in fact versus light but it was too obvious uh never unloading or not never not instantly unloading or you would expect it to be an instant unload and light responded by defending his natural very well but I agree Mong I always have expectations for him to do well but for whatever reason he kind of falls apart especially in tvz like he's one of the players that does Mech switches he had an epic game versus Soul key on verir a couple seasons ago but other than that he seems to get caught in the middle of his Mech switch and just ends up losing really quickly yeah um I also remember he he played this game on herri like he was doing so well until the the harders his entire Army in the middle of the map and and then from that point the game was just like it was done for him so I me of f lucky as well a few times that say that say m is a very capable player like he has the skills like this guy before all the pro Gamers and everyone started on on Africa this this guy was called The Flash of Africa like he was extremely good he was like able to make so many tanks in TVP and he looked like pretty good for a long time um but yeah now there is light there is Royal there is Rush there is a jyj there is just so much quality in this pool that m is not really like a top ter we've talked about Mong quite a bit what do you think about Suki here do you think this could be another season for him do you think he's got what it takes to repeat here I mean this is a really hard group in my opinion interesting s um there are players that are extremely good to win a championship one time there are players that are extremely good to win championships over the years and then there are players that are super super insane that can do a backto back I only know two players that have done it in the ASL era one of them is Flash the other is Queen now Suki doesn't really like make makes me think he's one of those players I feel like he already like he want KSL he want ASL but it was like few years apart so I don't think there is like this big Ambi ambition of him to do something like that especially when I watch his stream so often he's the kind of player that the guy plays better when he sleep three four days without playing he spent most of his time his time playing League of Legends so I'm not really sure a player like that can do a back to back okay well we'll see I know you're a big fan of suy I I think jyj is going to have another good performance I mean he's he's just so good these days every time I watch him stream he's playing well when he's playing pro league he's doing really well I think jyj's got a good shot maybe you know not repeat here but go pretty far uh what about bisu a lot of players a lot of foreigners really really like Buu for whatever reason do you think this could be his time well first of all I'm just grateful this guy is still like competing like think about it his first championship happened in uh 2007 if I'm not mistaken that's like 17 years like that was 17 years ago and the guys are still competing so I'm grateful he's doing it I'm grateful that he's still showing a lot of skill um that say I feel like this season could be a good one for him because the maps I feel like apart from Troy that doesn't really favorite mechanic play um most of the maps are really good for protos um and there are not that many Ser left that can Hydra him so if he actually advance from this group I can see bizu doing a very like big runen even to the finals to be honest yeah I I agree with that statement because if you're making it out of this group you should be able to go through pretty much anybody you've got two ASL Champions I mean that's incredibly hard to make it through you mentioned there's only three zergs in the tournament so even if you're not a zerg fan out there you got to be rooting for some of these Zerg so that we don't have tan versus tan and tan versus protos the whole way through cuz there's like eight Teran like you imagine that most of them should make it through yeah man I was I was making this joke that there are four four Ser players left in the ASL and one of them is AER so yeah we are not doing too hot here man yeah it's pretty rough by the way um about this group now you can for a past season champion this is one of the hardest group like I can only think about any other group as hard as hard as this one then season 13 mini rain Royal um and I forgot who was the other player uh um yeah man I I actually forgot but anyway that season I remember perfectly because rain was coming back from a huge break so it makes sense for for to pick rain because everyone thought like oh yeah he's going to be free win he's being away from the game for for a year or more so it's going to be easy funny enough rain made made it to the finals lose to light but I'm not blaming rain for that because Li honestly was looking Unstoppable um I don't think any anyone could really beat Light That season yeah light was a killer I mean he what did he win 40 in the finals and there was like one game that was close I mean it was it was really lopsided but I think this season if you look at all the groups every single group is like a group of death I think surprisingly this isn't the group of death I think it's in group C or D or something I don't know they're all really strong though um but looks like we are going to be getting into the games pretty soon I think it's going what is the first match up Suki versus bisu is that first oh and We Suki versus Mo sui versus Mong well we're going to switch over to our ASL Caster screen you to look at Mr Eon cir here with the hat on man I've been seeing you stream some more or maybe not stream but I saw you post some YouTube videos of your games recently some of the titles of your videos are quite hilarious like what was one recently Hydra bus they're actually good I was like what of course they are oh my God yeah man like I I I have nothing against like ter or protos or whatever but imagine I put like a title like oh um Hydra Bas is like is super weak and no one is going to believe that yeah nobody I when I saw that title I was like there's no way he he genuinely thinks that this this style is we you've also posted a few games that are really close like I saw a game on apocalypse you playing I think it was versus Taran it was like Incredibly Close so you must be playing a lot recently I've been like playing to to to record all videos so I can like maintain the the YouTube channel active until I come back to to streaming maybe summer or I don't know when I we have like time to do some streaming so that's the reason like it's super easy because if I play like six games per day I just like have like almost the whole week cover you know so it's very very easy to keep that going well that's cool man we're getting a look at the stats for today we have at the top the stat says 2-1 history o or 2-1 match history over Mong SOI over Mong then we have 65 Suki over bisu so and then five5 Suki versus jyj and then three and three overall B versus jyj so pretty much every matchup here at least including Suki and bisu is is 5050 across the board I mean that's that's that's a lot closer than I thought it was uh historically that say nen this is ASL I've been watching bisu B stream I'm performing like really well in Pro leagues I I have seen K like even like beating snow so to be honest with you I think biso is in a really good shape like I'm so surprised biso is in this group with all the amazing players but we will see we will see we're going to get into game one momentarily we're going to take a look at player profiles we've got our champion right here 55% win rate versus Taran that's pretty damn good and look at how many games he has played a lot of times when you see statistics in ASL you know you kind of take it with a grain assault because the players only have you know 20 30 games or less played this guy has 160 games played versus in ASL I mean that's he might have the most games played I don't think I've ever seen anybody have more games um I can't really recall anyone playing the many games either um well we maybe maybe it's snow maybe I I honestly don't know yeah I don't know either nothing's really coming to mind we're getting a looking a look at Mong stats as I stated Mong a really good player but for whatever reason doesn't come together in ASL his tvz down in the dumps 23% % win rate right there he does do a lot of Mech switches he does get caught off guard in the middle of Mech switches and like I did say he did have an epic game versus Suki a couple seasons ago on vermier I wonder if he's going to stick with that style or if he's going to try and just play something else like complete SK tan you know maybe just straight Mech but straight Mech is not really like a thing these days so no I feel like it and on top of that I feel like he's more a player that love to do like the mech Transitions and he he knows well how to how to do that at least something crazy happened you know some anti- timing um but yeah I don't I it's apocalypse um so to to do like make a switch on apocalypse it's going to be difficult as well yeah you can't get another well I guess you could get another main but it's likely that the Zerg will already have another main at that point so if we're to bet on a map where it's going to be not a Mech switch I think this is the map to bet on um but our players are are ready now so let's get into game one it is going to be Suki versus Mong on apocalypse okay in the top middle our champion it is sulki and then in the bottom left we have our tan it is mong so apocalypse it's been in the map Pool decent amount of time now we had it what was it Ascension was it it was basically previously called similar map what are your thoughts on apocalypse um I feel like it's an improvement from the sanum map um I I I honestly prefer this one but the color sometimes is a bit confusing because like red orange sometimes for the mini map it's not that great for my eyes but apart from that I feel like it's a really good map um it's very easy to expend and there are multiple places that you can put your expansion um you can you can play very aggressive as well or you can like play more classic and do doing the 2.5 Hatchery bill um multiple options on this map nen I feel like you can also play like Hydra ler or you can go Ultra say honestly it's it's like a very solid map I I was thinking the other day that this one of the most balanced Maps uh that there are right now yeah I actually like a lot of the maps in the lad map pool right now including apocalypse even though it's a three player map and can get weird um tell me you are Teran without telling me you are Teran yeah I mean is in is any map bad for Taran other than Troy doesn't seem like it even bad for well I think it's actually not that bad if you can play some crazy Styles like two Port wraith but I can't play that man so that's that's a that's an instant veto for me now we've got actually it was an 11 hatch from Soul key 10 pool and we do have a wall going down for Mong and you know this is very trendy these days to go for the wall doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be Mech or some type of tech and in fact Mong has not gotten gas so this is going to be a fast expansion we've got the actually this gas was a little later than I was expecting it to be this is like a 210 is gas does this mean anything yeah he said 2.5 2 2.5 hch whe all right well 2.5 hatch you know kind of middle of the road not the fastest mutas but a little bit better Eco drone is going to see this simy wall we'll have to keep note of that racks not being completely Ling tight at the bottom side Suki may be able to sneak something in later on I see Suki is making only drones it seems that way I guess he may have thought an eight RX could have been possible so he went for that 11 hatch just to be careful and there is the command center for Mong we have two marines is rallying across the map and actually Mong it looks like he could commit to this okay now he's but he's just still sending the second one well there are four Min he's probably coming back yeah I mean four S Rings yeah he he should turn back hopefully he turns back cuz if he loses the three Marines versus someone of Soul Key's caliber that say that is high ground so he can actually like one shot these sings Yeah if he Focus fires well he can definitely knock down some zerglings pretty quickly meanwhile as expected this is Lair you know shul is not the most Wild player I didn't expect him to go fast speed but Lings are going to poke in and see five Marines oh look at M sneak thatv about unlucky for him oh never mind he's not meeting the ear right so looks like he's going to get a fre Scout yep he's going to come in here and get additional Intel for the player and it went UNS scouted like you said by Zerg so this is just going to be uh full Intel he's even going to spot the third hatch which is great now he knows that there's no third hatch out on the map anywhere he doesn't have to worry about getting out there and trying to deny it not that he could anyways cuz he's going plus one weapon but he knows where it is now yeah mon putting some pressure um ooh that could be dangerous three lings R by yep he is going to get in here and this is a critical Scout for Suki now he's going to know that this was plus one weapon he's going to see that the Academy's kind of late actually so his mutas will not have to deal with range for a long time he also sees that the production is very low for Mong I was just thinking like that expansion there there is something strange in this game like the expansion from Mo was super late like this Common Center finish almost when the Spire started did actually he may engineering first uh I don't think so I think it I think it may have been late because he went double Depot before the command center maybe that was what it was but look at this Soul key where does he get this money from he's putting down a fourth hatch before the muus taking top right I don't even see that many DRS from from s to be honest at least not in the National spy is ready and there are no there are no resources for mutas so the the money went to the H yep that is going to delay the mutas a little bit longer so he's not going to be able to get as much damage done and that's going to give Mong time to build up his bar is this going to be a five Rax that SCV is setting up like he's going to five Rax there's no way right like he needs turrets okay it is yeah but look for him there are no mutas yeah yeah if if if there were mutas here which there could have been they could have been racking up some SCV kills or Marine so a little bit lucky there that he did read this correctly and will get the turret up in the nick of time it is a four Rax by the way yeah um plus one attack is probably going to finish uh soon but I don't I don't know if like he's going to put that much pressure right now y the mut is trying to find the angle but because he didn't build mutas instantly he only has five right now actually is this a drone cycle so he's saturating his third base already with four hatches look at SOI is already up in Supply which is crazy he went really really heavy on e um do say he's not making that many mutas U I feel like M like he he L like an opportunity to put the pressure on this map like now he has can he so that many drones instantly go out yeah he's going to move out and actually if Suki could have popped that SCV building the factory that would have been a good pick up Del lay the tech fromong but instead he backs off he l m yeah he did lose one plus one weapon is kicked in stem is kicked in range if it hasn't kicked in it's it's very close so these mutas do have to be very careful mutas or Marines are going to clear out these Lings I'm worried that Suki may have powered too much um yeah but at the same time mon is not really like bring bringing this the second Army yeah so I feel like we're going to stay in this position for a bit yeah it is seven mutas right now but a few more mutas have been built so he's up to something like 10 or 11 and he's going to try and just fight this Army I imagine but like you said once it turns into two groups of marine medic it's going to be really tough to stop that's why you see Suki trying to pick off those Marines I fear this is not enough Medics oh yeah yeah has two Medics he needs def oh actually there's a couple more four Medics that's a decent amount oh now that's a good good hit right there knocks down three Marines in a single Splash yeah but he's been using that energy uh so uhoh this we're going full on Hermon style this is mass muta mass Ling and Mong you need to get the hell out of Dodge cuz he's about to get surrounded by a billion Lings oh sneaky Marine Group coming to that tier base of Suki yeah but this arm's dead 100% it's gone there's just so many marines and Lings this wasn't close he's going to lose his entire B he did like you said sneak three Marines across the map that went UNS scouted but even if sulki loses some drones he has so many behind it I don't think it's going to make a big impact I think he's going to make nen is he going back he he does have double star Port so he is building vessels and you can see no no no no he's going to make impact like look at this he's doing damage to this expension oh yeah it it did do a lot more damage than I thought he does kill a couple drones forces a pull and kill some Lings it triggers all of the lings to turn around to help save the day but Soy is going to end Hive he still kept all of his mutas alive um oh it's bio this game is he making b or he's going straight to Bessel I think it's oh he missed his vessel timing he had his starports done for a long time but he's just now only halfway done with his science facility so he missed his vessel timing there's no Armory so there's no Valkyries it's just going to be Rax vessel but everything's late oh my God out he's going to contain this turn um I mean like and he's making Bonker so he doesn't even like plan to to attack like I mean he can well Mong knows that he's got to fight here but it's so hard to fight into this position four lurkers are already set up with muta support with no vessels The Hive is basically done defer should be or defiler Mound should be building at this point how is he going to stop the dark swarm push you know what's funny like he if he actually like made two draw chips maybe there was potential to do a Counterattack like the vessel was like since facility was late anyway um but yeah there are not that many options now like he's not breaking this like he's going to make two Bas now like what wait a minute he's trying but there's there's just too much Zerg I think think yeah look how fast those Marines bu the mutas saved the day of course coming in I mean it was a good attempt from Mong there he had to go for it I guess he was waiting for plus one armor I'm going to assume and it kicked in that's why he he went for it but now the lurkers are actually just going to run in here and this might just be GG wow that was a Master Class by SOI yeah like other than the initial move out from Mong he's just been on the back foot the whole game and there it is GG and soul Kei he's going to take game one and that was a convincing win my God let let let me call the police because sonan got like kill on apocalypse I want to report this yeah he he got absolutely crushed I think your idea of the drop ships could have been good there was there was no vision on the left side of the map but unfortunately Mong I think was waiting for those vessels but his science facility never built that's an fortunate way to lose because I think he was doing pretty well like he was hitting his build he had that good counter or good three Marine run by like you said but losing those Marines in the center not great do you feel like like he he could like maybe pull back that Army and get like at least like close to the National and the maybe like because he was already doing like the Counterattack right like he already like he validate that move like it was going to work no matter what so yeah I'm not sure exactly what he should have done I mean in retrospect clearly he should have been closer to his his natural right but at the same time you want to be a little bit far forward because you want to at least threaten a Counterattack uh but he just didn't I guess he didn't scan and didn't see that there were this many lengths of course sulki did a great job to hide the links and you know once this fight happens or once you see this you can't run away you got to stand here and fight and unfortunately Mong just clearly didn't have enough because like he didn't even like kill that many mutas with that Army either like if at least you lose the Army but you lose like he you kill some mutas like it could be like a valid trade um that say I feel like just like with the S facility mistake that was it for him anyway yeah well we'll be going into a break it's going to be beu versus jyj and then we'll be back in just a couple moments oops e e e e okay we are back thought we were going to have some type of countdown or something but we're just instantly back we're going to be getting into bisu versus jyj in just a second you see Suki silencing the crowd right there he's already taken down Mong now we've got a pvt and look at that win rate almost 60% vers Taran yeah I'm surprised to be honest there the stats are that good like I always hear like he's terrible against Teran I also am surprised that it's that that strong because I think historically I guess I'm I guess I'm wrong here but I remember in the olden days you know beu was like a carrier type of guy and I I think his verse tan win rate was you know much lower compared to his PvZ for example in PvP so it is surprising to see it's that high now jyj 8 and13 versus protos overall 38% win rate um I'm not sure if that's going to be that accurate though because jyj's been a killer the past few seasons I think that seems a bit low maybe he played versus protos a lot in the first few seasons he played in ASL not too sure what to think of that stat but it is what it is yeah um that say last two seasons I feel like he didn't really like face that many protos players so there is always this like this say in the community that he can really like play Teran versus fros like he got lucky to win that ASL because of like the Teran versus S match up um but I have seen like he doing very solid games against protos as well so he's scary yeah he's definitely really really good he's definitely if you're if he's not on your radar as a Teran player you need to look this guy up I mean I've seen him just kill very good players with very minimal moves on the ladder our players are ready though so let's get into our game again apocalypse this time beu vers jyj so in the top middle this time it's our protos it is bisu and instead of on the on the left side now on the right side we do have jyj now TVP we've been slight changes in The Meta of not meta yeah yeah meta of TVP we've been seeing 11 gas openers that gives Teran players the option to get out a quick vulture we've also been seeing Teran players go into four fact sl5 fact to prevent these big Gateway man busts and because of that I wonder if B we'll go for something different here you know in theory something like Fast Arbiter is good versus four fact or five fact so we'll see if he actually whips it out but look at this forward pylon for him so he wants to bring it to jyj right from the get-go yeah look at that guy signed man you're damn right you got to see it live I haven't even gotten to see it live man I got to go back to Korea at some point to check it out yeah man anyway God bless you and hope you you leave like bet don't yeah indeed uh think was that a was that a I think that was a jdong fan which is kind of kind of strange there but jdong sign in the crowd jyj what's he doing he's not building a Barracks no don't tell me this is 14cc on Ser cuz if this is 14cc the game's over please please oh my God I can't believe this well maybe that's why he's got a 38% win rate versus produ maybe you were right those people saying he was lucky to dodge TVP cuz he is he is in deep trouble if you thought it was hard to micro Marines versus zealots with no Sim City how's he going to micro scvs versus zealots with no Sim City I have conflicted like feelings with this one because I first of all I love this strategy he's doing it's just so unlucky that bisu is doing one game like forward like this well the the barracks is set up in a cute position right next to the command center he can build a Depot right next to it to complete the wall the what's that zelot went back to his main zelot popped out and went rallied into his main so that buys jyj a couple more seconds it's is still like now can like I I I can see the fish already if this like does any damage he can just like proy Pyon and you know make proy robot and just like demolish him yeah he definitely could do that this probe is not doing as much damage as I thought but jyj I guess actually he should be anticipating this move uh one more Supply to to block uh to B the the entrance yeah he could build another Depot to go for a full block oh that scv's dead even though this Zealot was you know built forwardly because it kind of screwed around with the rally a little bit it does buy jyj a little bit of a time but this is the problem going 14 CC versus something like this you can see he's already racked up what is it three SCV kills that's a really good surround on the Zealot but the Zealot is still going to live yeah man these seots they they're so strong like he can take the damage yeah and by the way there's the proxy Robo like you said and also there's no Factory it hasn't even started for jyj so he is way far behind I don't think he saw the second probe come so remember he killed the first probe so he may be thinking that there's nothing actually forward here oh he misses it just barely and visu made that Pyon like so close like I honestly think he's going to escout that I I yeah he might the Goon might push him back and I actually think that's a battery with the with the pylon now oh jyj he has to see it he he's got to check this out otherwise it's okay now he sees it is that a battery at the front or Cannon okay battery okay yeah you got to pull you can't wait once the robo's completed re is coming he can't he he actually two c and one Dron yeah the SCV surround was actually really good but look at the battery clutching it healing up those the Zealot really well however the bunker might actually finish she's not focusing that SCV yeah but the Marines no Marines they can't get there the zel is actually almost dead by the way uh he might make it in he did I can't believe it but he's going to lose so many scvs does he have enough DPS I don't oh wait that g yeah oh he lost two guns I can't believe JJ is actually going to hold this the support pay is done but if there's an SCV pull to kill this pylon the robo or the Reaver should not get out so actually look at the supplies now 25 to 21 I realize jyj's Eco is you know not great but he's got double Command Center um this is this is so problematic for bizu um is through his Eco is probably better right now than than JY J's Eco but at the same time it's two common centers yeah two command centers the Marines can beat the beat the by the way not two of them but now three Marines can definitely win I can't believe that we even got to this state I thought once the Zealot the forward gate was built versus a 14cc the game's over but the SE the Sim City that jyj came up with really fantastic I can't I can't even believe he got that bunker completed why didn't bizu Focus those s that at least that SCV building the bunker I think the the big problem here is that he made the p just way too close to the Natural man like put it in the in the the te expansion at least and it will be safe but like it's it's almost like close to the Common Center yeah it was extremely close and now Beast who of course not out of it for sure this is definitely playable but his Nexus is like not even done yet he doesn't have a Reaver yet because his Robo just finished by the time the Reaver gets across the map J W is going to have turrets he's not going to have the most units of course cuz he's on one Factory but he should have more than enough to F this off so there there is SL no Siege right like uh I I don't I don't think that he Siege yeah if if he has Siege like it just finish or it's just about to finish but here comes that Reaver what is it one Zealot one Reaver loaded up in the shuttle you can see of course jyj knows it's coming that's why he has that tank back turret first turret coming down he needs to set up a big turret ring apocalypse can be kind of tricky to deal with reavers you know it's similar to T cross in the sense that there's like just so much area to drop so he does need to be careful here he can do damage with this with this River na oh never mind now there are two tanks okay yeah not that much anti-air though just two two marines but he's not going to commit now with a three tank yeah for sure this can't work anymore in bisu now he's gonna have to try and play out of the position that he's in his Nexus is finally done turret going down in the mineral line um I I I don't I don't know if it was a snow I could see like you know some damage coming but like this is sow snow this is Vis and yeah I not really finding anything um it's two bases against two bases um the thing is like from this position jyj can't just like go Mass factories and kill be yeah now that it's gotten to this point in the game JJ's at a massive Advantage even Supply or actually slightly ahead in supply for Tan better SCV count you know better Eco this Reaver needs to get SCV kills oh it actually what just happened what it didn't actually kill any scvs the Reaver look at this he's saving every single SCV he's gotten one kill on that Reaver and it's been unloaded what two or three times oh he's is he stuck oh my gosh so it got one kill lost the Reaver lost the Ze the shuttle is basically you know 50% it's is it going to die okay at least it gets away but it's super low um two shutt yeah I'm I'm not a fan of this he's building so many shuttles at a point in the game where he needs he needs units or he needs another Nexus or something another Nexus I I was thinking about more gateways Yeah well yeah he needs more gates but like if he builds another Nexus you know maybe he can get some more econ and try and pre that he can uh win with better econ in the mid game but a shuttle I I don't know what this is going to get you with this I don't think he can do any more damage with the Reaver he's going to go gateways now and Nexus think is J J knows his position he knows that he doesn't even like need to to attack or to over defend too much right now like look at this he's just like producing factories and I'm pretty sure that the base that b is making is dead yeah this could be a seven fact this could be like a plus one seven fact timing and just go and he's has double add-on here so he's going to have a million tanks it could also just be for fact into expansion of course jyj hasn't gotten across the map to scout at all so he doesn't know what bisu is actually doing uh and it looks like this is actually going to be an expansion yeah to be honest I don't blame him like his position is so good that it doesn't really matter yeah also you know he doesn't know how good he has it like he he killed the robo obviously you're feeling good about that but he doesn't know that beu cut a lot to go for that proxy Robo so no no fault for him to take this third base it's a safe move here and player when you lose all of that on top of that you lose the reer as well like you know the position is good yeah it should be good you hope it's good uh we've got another yeah yeah or me or you can't macro and uh you're actually just behind somehow protus has like three4 of the map but jyj a little bit better than myself he's going to put down that Command Center in just a second meanwhile pisu trying to keep the units at oh did he find an opening oh of course not oh did he get the hot pickup I think I think he actually got hit oh no no no no no no no no like this way okay that was good don't lose the shuttle yeah he can't lose the shuttle and this time the shuttle actually survived with oh no he took an additional hit I was going to say he survived with most of his health but that's not the case and actually that bought visu some time jyj has not put down a command center he hasn't put down more factories is he really going to attack with just four fact production I supris is moving like this like what are you aiming for like this is crazy yeah I this is one of those moves where you're attacking but you're also expanding at the same time so kind of an in between style right there's a lot of stuff for bisu and it's high ground this was a mistake I imagine oh the Goliath does not pick off the shuttle the Reaver when okay it does fire and he gets a huge shut off in jyj he he just threw away his entire Army oh my God what just happened like I should I apologize to Artois like he's right he's right well the Reaver okay it has actually well I guess it's a a second reer right here and okay I guess they trade Army for Army but that was definitely not good for Taran because protos has a third base up and running and he's also got the full some City no are you Ser he just Walts his in gets the vulture through the pylon wall um I mean n um that move like it was not good like you lose many many tanks for that um yeah I I honestly don't he even is SC he is still committed like I what he's seeing that we don't see because like he is SC he saw the whole Army and he is still committed to that like why you retreat yeah I don't know maybe like you said he killed two reavers and he thought like okay well this guy committed so much he he can't possibly have that much but he did and also it was uphill you know maybe I could understand it if it was even ground but to attack uphill like that that was that was very risky and he got punished immediately don't commit don't commit yeah yeah definitely don't want to commit that shuttle that would be another lost Reaver he does save it and backs off and bisu is going to take a fourth base somehow jyj's Supply you know it's okay 100 versus 125 it's still very low okay well he's got the temple archive so actually storm is going to be on the field pretty soon um that say now you can um B position is a still no ideal for protos versus Terra ma yeah it's still it's still not the greatest jyj definitely has a shot in this game but it's it's going to be tough he is just now getting his science facility so he doesn't have the powerful two One upgrades jyj has built so many turrets here man just to defend this this one shuttle is is doing a good job cleaning the map I don't really see that many mines so yeah this is going to be great when he he commits to do a big big attack or big army move yeah so for jyj I I think the win condition here is to slowly try and get top right get that s for fourth base slowly get bottom right and then try and make a massive attack to bottom botom left at some point assuming protos tries or assuming we get to that point in the game where protos you know takes bottom left we see the first few Templars being uh built so we're going to have storm drops on the menu pretty soon now you can call me crazy but I don't see enough tanks to to Really defend that tier base from y j i feel like the amount of seots bizu is making he can he can Bast that position he might be able to but JY oh that's a huge hit kill so many probes there and I think B's probe count was already quite low so that was a massive catch and you keep a break to B man like he was already recovering and this happened yeah he lost like 10 workers there jyj does lose a handful of vultures but that was a really nice move right there from jyj we had just talked about how bisu had done such a good job to clear the mines but that one mine was not cleared and it had the connection of all time another Dr or a drop coming in here he's going to shut that down he's actually I think in a tank drop top left the vulture drop okay V is ready for this oh is he just going to counter this could this could be devastating he's taking a decent amount of e oh he's eating mines if this doesn't work visus could be under threat of being immediately countered look at the tank count it's actually pretty high the Sim City is pretty good A lot of turrets bunker Depot and oh he's going to get his shuttles focused down actually actually the shuttles did unload quite well good storm right there but look at the tank count at the bottom uh maybe Retreat don't lose the whole Army please yeah he did lose a lot of stuff oh more Templars coming in if the storm if he can get off another storm on those juicy tanks right there there he goes he gets a couple tanks now it's just four tanks remaining Buu has a lot of stuff here the third has been breached SCV is dying left and right the storm connects again oh wow man that Counterattack was the better thing to happen to beu to be honest yeah it forced him to go for a counter and now he's knocking on this Command Center but if we look at supplies jyj still very close to even you got to imagine that these goons will die eventually yeah yeah but that was a lot of Eco damage like even like yeah he he can really make that Army very fast no actually the goons are going to get the command center I didn't think they were going to get it I thought the tanks would be there in time but the command center is so close to this is probably like I I don't see like recover from this one yeah this is devastating damage I had the feeling I have say that a few times already in this game yeah and those drops that were sent on the left side by jyj seems like they've been cleaned up there's still a lot of goons here man you can't just unsee these tanks there goes one tank W this was this was a crazy game very chaotic game back and forth does he did he load up pure okay he did he's back for round two here trying and get some more probe kills and he needs this he's going to shut down this base and load back up yeah good job with the Dr chip um doing a lot of e damage especially after losing that many workers to a mine early on yeah um and like you you say the sup are super close to my surprise to be honest yeah I don't know how jyj has kept the supply so even 120 to 110 tan can win fights like that Taran also had two armories I didn't notice if plus two weapons done yet but once that kicks in going to be hitting really hard oh a storm drop could be devastating oh he transferred the wrong way oh I guess he transferred the right way he actually ended up saving them um so bisu is M out in the main already almost M out mind out in the main natural well his natural is not going to be mind out cuz remember he got that late but jyj uh his natural I guess should be close to being minded out his third base is just now coming up vu's only up 10 Supply if if JJ can snipe a shuttle that's full of Templars that would be a huge win for him but as I say that here comes another shuttle bomb and he gets a decent amount of scvs okay that was good that was really good actually but I don't think you can you can break this position if he goes in here you're basically hoping that you're dragging a mine in to try and connect because that's there's so many he would lose zealots unbelievably quick if he went for an attack meanwhile protos is going to start setting up for bottom left fifth base going to be coming up pretty soon still Mass shuttles for bisu now actually Buu might go for it now now that he saw the vultures move out of position and here he goes so many mines of the glas may need to focus down the shuttles zealots get on top of some of the tanks good D Matrix right there good storm is there enough tanks though is the question the vultures are going to die bottom left there is a tank at the top actually there's two tanks at the top side and it does seem like jyj May hold this maybe maybe not oh this is a lot of damage I guess he's going to hold but he does take a lot of damage like you said the vultur did deny bottom left I feel like B already killed like at least like 25 workers or more yeah they did and this vulture drop coming in again just such a nuisance he doesn't have anything to actually kill that drop ship he doesn't have a Stargate to build a s or anything he's just it's always happens man it's just you ever you say something's not happening and then it happens like the vulture was hiding forever and then gets caught by zealots is it going to be another storm drop here no not yet at least Le going crazy with the drops um do say nen um still not a new expansion for bizu here yeah he's actually not mining that much like yes he's up a base actually he's up even three two bases but jyj is still holding on somehow vultures that that's a lot of vultures that's actually so w w storm could be amazing oh okay that may have broken the camels back there now it's a 50 Supply lead for bisu econ is really down in the dumps now for jyj he's not even mining his third base gas by the way and the problem is like you don't really want to be making CVS at this stage of the game 21 minutes is just terrible and as the Observer point out jbj is not mining his Nat gas either so the amount of Tanks he can build very limited he like can't even build vessels either because of how limited his gases so it's like pure on vultr man is what he's relying on to try and get back in this game ah this is this is painful for JY J now because he need to recover first of all he need to recover a bit Eco so and then he need to proceed to to take a new expansion I don't think he can even like make an attack yeah and I don't even think he can make a command center I think he needs to float either his main command center or natural Command Center probably the natural Command Center if you're not going to mine the cast there you might as well just float it up there and try and get The High Ground and hold more Ultra is going to be sent out towards bottom left but he's not going to catch the probe at least not just yet um yeah yeah if I was B I would probably just like give priority to take a new expansion that would that would that would be my priority yeah I think Vu is thinking that he stormed enough scvs that he can probably just win the game but yeah if you just take a fifth basee that'd be great by the way the shuttle ended up loading up that probe and now he's just elevator it over to bottom left so that's going to be a Nexus that goes down jyj is going to get onto The High Ground his tank count is okay it looks like it's at 10 but nothing really to write home about I still haven't seen a floated Command Center just yet so I'm not too sure what the goal is by sitting here he does have plus three weapon okay there's the command center uh he has um good energy on the vessels so he can he can yeah he has like 4 The Matrix yeah we could definitely see protos blunder here if protos just tries to bulldoze their way in here into 4D Matrix here comes another shuttle drop mine oh I don't think it died this is just so this is so hard for jyj like it just takes him forever to get a base he has no priority out on the map anytime time he makes a move with his vultures he's risking getting immediately countered but it seems like he may actually be able to get this fourth base up and running however visu is acting like he's going to make an attack that is a lot of shuttles yeah but that is scary in aen I I honestly I would not like to to see visu like fighting this Army like at least fa face to face like that well here we go the shuttle one of them gets taken down there's the D Matrix that you talked about good storm right there hit some of the tanks a lot of the vas get hit look at the supply of pizu went from Max down to 120 I still think pizu is going to be able to plow through but this was a very close attack the tanks are just doing so well with the plus three and the vultures uh N I think attack is going to be hold how did he hold this what was his max versus 130 the power of plus three D Matrix and mines I can't believe if jyj gets this fourth base like fully saturated he's actually not out of it Buu like I said does not have the biggest econ yeah I did I didn't really like the idea of facing the army face to face like that um I was expecting something else like trying to you know like force the Army to be moving on multiple places because now Y is forced to take a for expansion but now it comes to this situation that's say Vis e is still better than JY J eego so maybe in the trade War maybe it's better for him something happened by the way cuz jyj just shot down to 68 Supply was there a drop that we missed or something now it's 115 to 68 um but something clearly happened to jyj's supply but he does at least have his fourth base up and running now bisu does have his fifth base decently saturated and jyj is he going to be on the move no no I I think he can't he the prority has to be like set up that four base um as you see there are not even that many scvs yeah another bomb bomb Templar that was a good split somehow manages to save all of them for now at least shuttle doesn't get taken out wow I can't believe he saved every single SUV there uh and it is still just full on shuttles there's no switch to Arbiters or carriers anything like that bisu yep that's up and running the tanks well not the tanks the vessels they may have energy again in a moment to have all those D Matrix okay there we go now the SCD is going to get taken down by now can to be a protos versus teram uh match up um I feel like bizu eco is is so low like his income like he's getting the income like so low like I I asked myself if he doesn't have like the ideal work of prodution in this game yeah I'm not sure exactly what the ideal number you're looking for is because there are players that play with like 55 probes somebody like best he really likes to go low probe count then I see games where motive for example I just casted him the other day he's playing with like almost 80 probes like there seems to be not a set amount of probes that you should have it's like a varying amount but I agree Buu did seem to have a low probe count but now that he's near Max again I guess he's got more than I initially thought and this is going to be another massive attack on the fourth base dmri come in as expected but the tank count you can see not nearly as as high as it was a couple minutes ago it's at what five or six just now really not that much but he somehow keeps a lot of the units from not getting into the fourth base but a few goons do actually make it in oh wow B is playing with the F neers here V is like oh my God I don't know it's going to kill me um I feel like that was a good move doing Eco damage again yeah and he might get the command there's no SCV to repair there's another Templar here to hit another storm he's going to get another tank he can focus down these SUVs now can he get the command center it's so low I think he's going to get it and with that falling you got to imagine if Taran comes back from this they need a Nerf 50 Supply to 150 there it is bisu he's going to take it but he had to work for that after having a great build order in the beginning jyj somehow staved it off looked like he was in a favorable position but that four fact timing man why why did he make that move yeah if you look at P of face he like oh my God what I doing to myself yeah he knows that that should have never gotten to that point it should have ended with the zealots it really but the robo I guarantee you the next time that happens he'll definitely build it a little farther back like he were saying so it doesn't get picked off like oh my God yeah well either way regardless of you know the openers the game really did deliver it was very back and forth both players really dealing CP blows to each other the vulture Dro this mine hit right there got like 10 workers look at B's worker count it's 61 to 43 if jyj just macros from here doesn't make that big attack or actually I think the big attack already happened so actually jyj was still in a good spot uh yeah open more workers as well yeah you were talking about how bisu looked like he had a low worker count 38 you know I'm no protos player but I guarantee you 38 is not the number you're looking for but this was I guess the game swinging move here where bisu comes in with a massive attack and takes down a lot of the tanks and the command center I don't know how how he made that work to be honest yeah because the there were not instant storms but then there was like I think another sh comes in in just a second and hits a lot of these tanks in the back there's the first storm but there's another Templar that comes in in a moment and hits a lot of the other tanks yeah these these two bad boys right here watch them they get a couple more tanks the vultures try and pick off the Templars they get a couple but they don't get the ones with energy yeah that honestly this is a beautiful attack like is just really impressive he made this attack work it's really cool yeah and he caught some trailing the be face he can't believe that that game went like that oh my God is [Laughter] funny uh well that was an exciting game hopefully we can have another exciting game in our winners match as you see it's going to be visu versus sulki we're going to be going into the uh the chair commercial now which means we're going to be cutting to our Caster screen right here on zg he's back uh so as I stated in previous cast this cast brought to you by starcast TV you know Cruiser got us the rights to actually co- cast The afria Stream and post it on our YouTube so if you're enjoying enjoying the cast you should definitely consider becoming a patreon supporter or YouTube supporter and if you want to rewatch the VOD either watch it on a freaka or YouTube also starcast does a lot of other tournaments I just wrapped up casting starcast TV season 1 just started starcast season 2 and then there's going to be another uh tournament coming up soon which I think a lot of foreigners will like uh you should definitely check that out when that's getting uh released but uh yeah these games so far Ean serg been quite exciting dominant game in game one Suki versus Mong and then back and forth between bisu and Jay W J what do you think about our Winner's match bisu versus SOI this is going to be hard nen um I feel like no sir no sir actually likes to face bizu he this guy can demolish you he this guy this this guy can actually like question whatever like why I'm playing s so I feel like yeah I feel like s against bizu is a is a really good matchup and and honestly I'm scared for for Suki um because Suki sometimes he he tries to to do strategies that and I'm not really sure like they're a good match against bisu okay well we'll be looking for that yeah historically bisu obviously I think his best matchup is p PvZ just in general so it is going to be a tough matchup for Suki I know Suki plays a lot of variety a variety of styles in zvp I remember a machine talking to me about how Suki is one of the few players that plays like really low drone count um styles but we're actually going to be going into a break oh no we're not I got jaed by the casters I thought we're going into the chair commercial but um when you say doesn't farewell versus B Styles like what style are you talking about from Soul key um pretty much that like let's say like Hydra aggression on five hatcheries or some muta play um you know like the five mutas into a scor like these days protos players they have a new build honestly it's not new but it's like the two star Gat build into into Citadel seots but there is a new timization that the selot speed comes so quick that yeah I feel like the it just it out to shut Downs the the muta strategies so on top of that b multitasking and micro with zot and G openings they are hard so but we are going to update guys BRB e e e e e e e e e e e all right we are back and we're going to be getting into our winners match we are past the best of one phase it is now going to be best of three here Suki versus bisu as our winners match I think bisu despite winning his game versus jyj needs to get it together here versus Suki because I don't think Suki is going to make the blunt ERS that jyj did no for sure and again sir you can really make that kind of blunder either like if you skip like two canons and you know the S is doing a Hydra bus you're probably dead so yeah you are going to get punished instantly if you if you miss something like that like L Cannon then the C is making mutas well you are dead yeah there are many things that bizel need to be on top of um but bisel PBC is amazing so I have no doubt he's going to do well yeah you were talking about this new Zealot timing into what was it double Stargate we'll see if he actually pulls that out we get a look at what the bands are we actually see a Troy band from Suki I know a lot of the zergs don't like that map at least from what I've seen in the pro league games so no shocker to me to see that and then Radeon band from bisu I guess he doesn't want to play on a big macro map like that versus Suki but that does lit Blitz Citadel and retro through by the way interesting he actually bned run like in my opinion Ron is like a really good uh protos map I mean I was thinking the same thing like okay I'm not a protos player here but doesn't Citadel seem like it's a little harder than radon in my opinion maybe I'm wrong either way our players are ready so let's get into our Winner's match of course it's bisu versus Suki first map will will be Blitz okay in the top right we have bisu and in the bottom right we've got soul key so Blitz an interesting map a two-player map I'm sure you've played on it a decent amount now that it's in the ladder what do you think about Blitz uh I don't like it it's super difficult to make s for for for sir um is uh it's very difficult as well to to take expansions is very difficult to cover uh with lers the defensive size of the map so is I'm not I'm not really a big fan of this map um but if you're a protos player I imagine you will probably like this one um if you take out like a close suspension you know like the route to to get into that position is super hard so you can defend that with few High Templar or you can say the same about like the from the S side as well I putting few lers uh but there is a storm so you can always like use a storm to clean the C units so yeah I'm not really a big fan of this mapen yeah it does seem like it could be difficult for Zerg you know actually tvz I have a I find it to be a lot better than other two-player maps at least for for myself we've got a Gateway opener from bisu we're getting a look at the stats top three pbzs of all time 58% win rate for bisu and meanwhile top three Zerg versus protos win rate of all time is soul key so both players very high up there in terms of win rates in this respective match up I think this was an overpool for soul key and look at this drone over at mid left maybe he's a Scouting For for proy yeah it does look like it the the pat no this is this going this drone is going too far is this a yeah what is this is it going to take the mineral only no way uh he is okay well I don't know what this is what's this I mean b is going to know like there's a hidden hatch somewhere he's going to scout the entire map it's so he he's obviously going to find it eventually but what do you think this is for I mean aggression like what what what what can be like he's not going to hide from that position yeah I don't it's going to be like some kind of Sterling or in or even like to to Hydra in you know yeah I I was immediately thinking that this is going to be a speedling Allin but I guess it could is he really going to try and act like he's this is his first hatch like you know this is not C or B rank I can't imagine bisu thinking that this is his first Hatchery that say bisu doesn't know where the Hatcher is he's assuming where is it yeah well the the Lings do deny the probe from getting in again did bisu actually see gas with his probe well either way the Lings are allowing the probe to come back in for another Scout so now he's going to seek out and I think protos is kind of thrown for a loop here we don't see a zealot moving towards the left side to scout we don't see an additional probe scouting the left side this is speed by the way yeah but b b have seen that s is making Sly snow St he know something is up like something there is aggression coming 100% yeah something weird is going on and by the way that building is that a forge or okay it is a forge I thought it might have been a cybernetic so it is going to be a forge I think what he's trying to do is he's trying to get these zealots to move out and then counter immediately with the Lings kind of like what Ty did versus jdong like oh you sent mutas across the map well guess what here comes some some zerglings this time um yeah but as a prot play you are going to make cannons that say that is true that natural is Expos yeah he's look he's baiting he's like dude these are all the Lings I have haha you don't need any cannons but here we go speed's about to kick in and hello the cannon just now started here it goes speed speed is just now kicks in and now this Canon is under threat and all of a sudden Vis is in Big Time trouble also remember there's only a single pylon here if the pylon gets focused down which it is he's going to be not able to produce anything uh what need hold the SE GG what that was such a weird build pisu did he really think that there that was the he's stunned I'm stunned he really did believe I guess that that was the only hatch but it was hidden across the map he's of course watching that replay trying to figure out what the hell went wrong there no it's impossible he he believed that was the only Hatchery it's just impossible well I I feel the same way like it has to be impossible but why you go with a worker and do a scout that dis is over you see the timing that there is there is one hat missing like the thing is like he probably assumed that hat is in the bottom left of the map um you know like the time the timing is quicker for the C it is that far yeah that makes sense then I guess he wasn't expecting it to hit as fast as it did like the cannon was what was it like 65 out of 100 so if you factor in the distance between bottom left to top right you know maybe maybe that was the case but still it was I don't know those zealots also felt really far forward but either way you know put a point on the board for team Zurg cuz Suki takes down bisu very quickly and we're just going straight into game two Citadel is our next map four player map and if bisu loses here we'll have Suki out first and bisu waiting in the deciders match okay in the top right down one in our series it is Buu and in top left getting a first Scout it's going to be so key um I'm sinky like b b so like s making sing nonstop he surprised me he was still like playing aggressive after like scouting that yeah like I I don't mind his zealots being a little far forward but they like they were so deep like he had no chance to retreat it was just kind of weird that they were out that quickly but like you said he may have thought that the patry was bottom left the probe died very quickly right like it died to the eight Lings pretty quickly so it didn't really confirm much but we do have bisu forward pylon of course and he is going to get lucky here and find Suki first and what is is this a nine pool it is a nine pool so so good good scout for bis here he's going to to be making Forge this game um scouting the NP like this early on is always great um that say on this map did he miss it's it's a big map so no he didn't miss he's just going to oh is he going to try and Cannon rush there's no Forge he may just be trying to block the hatch tree but there is no hatch tree coming anytime soon uh okay yeah here comes the Drone but that's not not for a hatch just yet suy don't tell me that he's hiding a hatch again like this is going to be for a hatchery right oh he just sent it to bottom left and now he's coming back oh well probe's going to intercept now and I think he's going to be able to deny it that was great that was a really good block that was nice all right Lings are out going to try and push this probe out and he will now will he commit with all the links okay he actually does he's going to commit here and force two cannons out SOI in response will take mid left as his Hatchery um yeah I don't think that is danger for visu here um he probably should like send his worker like to keep his scouting yeah he he definitely needs to scout as you mentioned Zerg can just straight up win with Hydra Bust or mutas and if you're caught off guard the game will be over in a heartbeat so it's imperative that he Scouts again but the probe retreated all the way back to his main he's he's not on the map at all this is this is is this normal now in PvZ that you just don't keep your prob like I I can't imagine that being normal well luy for for bizu um he made a pylon so he's delaying that uh hat from Suki yeah um you know like it allows bisu to send a worker out again so there is going to be a scouting for him I'm not really worried too much about it right now um but we I wasn't really like pressing too much attention to the gas it looks like Su is going to M air yeah it should be air yep there it is immediate air probe has still been denied so doesn't know exactly what's going on Nexus is about to finish we've got the cybernetics starting up right now so everything so far looks like it's a pretty normal game npol did what it needed to do which was force two cannons and probe well he's going to oh he's actually going to go to top left I thought he's going to go to mid left yep um I would probably would like to see at least like visu put some pressure with zots this way the worker also gets more freedom to to do more scouting yeah and I as you say that I think the first Zealot is moving out right now he desperately wants to get in here and figure out what's going on he he needs to know if hydra's are coming he needs to build cannons if mutas are coming you know he can power some more in the probe oh actually the Zealot doesn't commit I guess he's a little bit worried that there could be Lings more Lings I mean good job by B keeping the worker alive yep and now it's going to be two zealots not sure if actually the overlord spotted both zealots move out but now the Ling sees it and Stargate is halfway done meanwhile Spire has started so everything just looks very very normal to me at least second gas coming down for soul key oh it's going to be mutas yeah that is the that is the important bit of this game is that second gas nen um now bizu can be in so much danger because he can Auto lose to mist yep it could be a lot of muis also the zealots are hiding at the mineral only have not been spotted just yet but as soon as those Lings are out of position you imagine they're going to be going in and looking for some kills do the Ling spot I don't think he actually saw them first s is going to be coming out pretty soon pretty normal Citadel timing I don't I I think and like you said mutas are going to be coming look at that not very many drones mining that third base at all yeah he's missing he's missing many drones so he needs for sure like to do damage with this Bild yeah so when you when you say mutas are coming are you expecting it to be like you know 11 mutas five mutas with mass Scourge or what what are we looking for here are we going to go like six six six seven mutas with mass scor straight to the main win the game that way okay and look at this he saw that the Lings were out of position and hello two zealots one into the natat one into the main Corsair spots everything even sees the second gas so he knows that mutas are on the way already one drone taken out can he get a second one good control so far from Sky ends up saving that one loses another one though however mutas are on the way zealots are just going to counter try and buy sometime the Cannons are they too late there's only two oh there's a there's three SS but one of them's in the main yeah but as SL as there are cannons in the main he's fine yeah those cannons now that the mutas are not immediately going there they will be done in time and actually this is a lot of lanes yeah b b is playing right now with soken um I don't think there's enough mutas like you can't commit now and these zealots have now done a lot of damage forced out a lot of Lings the Eco was already low and the mutas didn't do anything yeah whoa what wow okay this game is getting more interesting double gra for the speed and the range and the range nen I don't I don't really think it's going to be lurkers but it could be lurkers as well but I think it's going to be range and speed at the same time yeah going for a key timing maybe us the mutas to snipe few few of the high Templar and you know like finishing it with hydras yeah he's on three hatches so I feel like this is you know we got to win the game with it I don't I don't think there's going to be a fourth or fifth hatch unless there's some type of I don't know insane trade where he thinks that he can actually um transition out of it but I think you know something y yeah there are no more than five mutas on B still making corsers that is true and there's no cannons being built either also the Templar archive just finished so there's no Templars either or storm there's no DT he's trying to act like he's building mass mutas and but he's not like there's hydra's here yeah I see I see B is in trouble see it's only two canons he saw the hydas he saw the hydas he saw he sees it now but it's too late all these Z goons are out of position there's only two cannons the the mutas are still alive so they can soak up the hits on the Cannons is this could be it canons Canon being focused down mutas are taking the shots the mutas are all going to die but there's nothing here to deal with the hydras DT oh DT pops out there's no Overlord can he save the day a single canon in the back oh if the pylon gets taken down he's going to have no production oh man this is a heartbreaking way to lose DT is desperately trying the hydra's ran into the main for some reason instead of trying to deal with the natural and a second DT is out the overlord died so that means that these DTS can actually save the game you can see that the overlords are desperately trying to get into position there's still no um over no speed yet the SS are over on the left side of the map they don't realize there's two overlords at the right side there's three DT's out now yeah but there are two oers uh can he kill these ERS he's trying to focus him down he knows that oh speed kicked in and one Overlord ended up Surviving the how close are they I seen that this is this is so closely Overlord he is desperately trying to get it but it looks like Suki is just barely going to have too much there it is GG and Suki he's done it he's going to take down bisu here and get out in first place wow the champion prepar that was that was some nice Mind Games by SOI to be fair with you I thought like the second game was it was looking really bad for what a what a way to transition with a double Hydra then and going for a that for that key timing um to be honest I yeah I I I honestly wow that that was a miracle game as a thir player that was a really nice comeback yeah cuz it looked like he was super dead like the mutas did no damage like you were saying the Eon was not great then these three zealots forced out a million zerglings that he didn't need so the e was really bad then we look in his main he's gone double hydr and I'm like dude this guy's on fullon panic mode yet the Hydra timing was great because the mutas kept the Corsair back he had no idea it was coming and it completely caught bisu offu guard again he was far forward with his units at an inopportune time like right here he moves out and loses everything immediately and then what do you have left to defend with just two cannons man there was like five or six Thrones in the main yeah he had nothing like look look at the mini map you can see the bottom three mineral patches aren't even being mined he's just completely all in yeah I'm L forbis to have this Army exposed like this um I don't really know if it would make a difference to be honest is there is only two canons anyway yeah the DT once the first one I didn't think it was going to be enough but once the second DT got out and there was no overload I was like wow is he actually going to hold this off cuz I feel like this is this shouldn't be happening I I think Suki almost messed up here cuz I was looking at this and I was thinking like well if you kill the forge this guy can't build any more cannons but he ran into the main and I was like what how I thought he actually messed up here but in the end these two overlords were her heroic hidden on the right side ending up uh sinking up with the hydras later on yeah man I agree that was that was something else like yeah these DTS 40 damage man 40 damage per swipe 43 if you get the plus one upgrade the cor I guess the the real game saving move for soul key was he whittel down the cor air count from seven down to four and that means that those two overlords survived if the two overlords get taken down these cannons complete and I think bisu there's a chance that he ends up holding yeah but the same time like he didn't have that many Gateway either to to make seos so to yeah and he didn't have Templars or storm either so you know maybe it maybe the Hydra still would have won you're not sure exactly but either way Suki making it out in first I'm sure he's ecstatic he's the first player into the round of eight and we're going into interview with him so we do have our deciders match coming up or not deciders our losers match coming up as we know it's Mong versus jyj Mong was tvt his best match up I can't remember exactly what his graph there is like 20% win rate on yeah oh no that's that's not good I I think jyj is the most danger one of the most dangerous tan versus tan players of course I think Saka is the absolute best but what makes jyj dangerous in tvt is he'll play everything as we all know he can clearly play race he's shown it versus Suki he plays Tank Goliath a decent amount of time he's clearly willing to go 14cc even versus protos and then of course you can play vultures so I think Mong on the other hand plays generally three fact vulture so it's going to be tough for him to come up with a counter versus jyj in my opinion yeah I feel like MO is more like a classic TBT Terra yeah in a way that he just like played to you know to control the map and all of that and Jo J has the skills to actually like to put pressure early on to be to be aggressive and I feel like mon is really missing that yeah uh I I do really believe that he's a three vulture player so I think he's most likely going to go for it I hope he can come up with something special though whether it's 14cc himself or you know gasless into two Port wraith or do something to mix it up because jyj he he's just so solid he's like he's really gotten a lot better in the last couple years I think you got to mix something in versus him because if you just let him play his own build um people have talked about how optimized he's gotten with his build like he's just going to overrun you at some point so I think it's going to be tough for Mong here but maybe maybe he's got some strategies play maybe he's got like a sleeper Pi a sleeper build on Troy maybe Troy gets through and he can snipe a win there yeah but that's the thing I don't see M as a the player to to shine on a map like Troy yeah I don't either he's the kind of player that actually like chins the most in standard Maps like Troy actually requires different skill sets like it's not really like about like the the the mechanics yeah so just as a an aside here Rhett messages me what the heck double hydrogen after failed me to Scourge he's also un uh questioning Suki's play there versus Buu but in the end it ended up winning the game um we've got bisu in the deciders match um based on what you've seen from bisu here like to me it seems like he's kind of off today regardless of who comes out of the bottom side do you think he can actually take down one of these Teran I the well seem like the first game against y j was it was super chaotic but he won that yeah he did so there is like probably in the mindset that okay I already did it maybe I can do it again yeah I just need to play without less mistakes and I would probably have like an easy game that's probably my would be my mindset yeah I I I agree with that I think if bisu gets it together he's definitely got a got a shot I think he's definitely hoping Mong makes it out because jyj's a a monster these days um SOI must have a lot to say about this Victory I'm surprised the interview is going so long yeah man but she says she's the champion so I imagine that there are many people that are expecting him to to do a back to back um I honestly we love to see that um would be amazing it would be great especially since there's only three zir in the tournament if he can just say like hey we only actually need one and it's me I can take everybody out that would be impressive the ASL event this is some type of battery I still don't know what it is what battery is this is a laptop battery what exactly is this I saw somebody post on Reddit about the jerseys but it doesn't seem like the jerseys are available anymore because I'm pretty sure we would have seen the popup right here but those gaming chair is still available actually it says it's 40% off so if you have interest in this should check out the well new chair it's on Amazon it's the top ranking chair on Amazon I guess is what they keep promoting so if you have interest uh you know look them up on on Amazon and we're going to be going into a break and then we'll be back with our losers match which is going to be jyj versus Mong e e e e for and we are back let's check out those bands for our Mong versus JY J losers match is anybody going to ban Troy are we going to have a double ban of Troy are we going to get a look at the bans right now we're looking at Mong here and goodus as well let's see it should be getting that graphic any moment now getting deated by the uh production team just like I did earlier I forgot in the round of 16 they have the group stage um selection part you know the highlights by the way that has been translated on Art artosis and tasteless cast you should check them out on the official afria Esports YouTube channel it's always interesting to see why players choose each other and of course of course you knew Troy wasn't going to get through it's a double Troy ban but at least we get dark origin Blitz and radon so a couple different maps from the maps we just saw yeah the old Neo the map is still going on strong after a few seasons yeah I'm sure it'll be gone after this season I think dark Origins is a good map it's interesting that we've got back-to-back two-player Maps wonder if anybody will get frisky here with an eight racks or six racks or something insane or will we just have normal openers to be fair with you I think it's a good map but I actually prefer the the first version of the map the one that he he had like so much mobility and in the corner expansions but yeah it's it's a good map it's a solid map yeah I'm trying to think what was the actual change I think it was the pathways right the pathways to the corner bases were a little bit different but our players are ready it is time for game one of our losers match jyj facing off first m all right in the top left our red tan it is mong and in the bottom right one of our former ASL Champions it is jyj and yes sir jyj yep he actually like last season he he made a good series against Suki as well very very close against s to be honest yeah in the season that he won ASL it was what like 3 to2 or 4 to three or something like they they were really good games jyj fans right there a lot of Mong fans right here not sure exactly what DNA is I guess it must be one of the school teams or one of the training teams I think I have seen A4 with the with the tag as well okay so neither player ended up actually going for eight rocks on this map so that means we're just going to have normal opener Depot coming down now even though okay for a second I thought I missed the depot for long I thought we were going to have a 10 10 10 but not going to be the case now even though 11 gas is making a Resurgence in tan versus protos 11 gas not really a thing in tan versus tan so this should be either 12 gas or gasless from either side top four Teran vers Teran what is that does that say jyj yeah jyj 54% win rate in tvt and it is just going to be normal it's going to be oh Rex and what about Mong yeah it's Rox as well okay yeah Rex at the bottom side of his base I recently found out that even if the opposing player hides a Barracks at the very bottom left corner of the top left base uh when you build a bunker there the minerals can spot it so you don't actually have to scout that area cuz you'll see still see the bunker anyways gas coming down for both sides so it is going to be 12 gas from both by the way nen why why is so rare to see these days a double Barack proding against because I remember NADA did it against I believe he was Flash on Blu storm yeah and he actually won the game two racks in Teran versus tan yeah proy bar well it's a strong build if it doesn't get scouted like it can just outright win the game I actually don't really like eight rxs that much it feels like unless the opposing player botches their micro you come out like even at best so that's probably why you see two racks if you're going to go for a proxy rack you might as well just really commit and try and end the game we got two scvs intercepting in the center of the map both players have their factories coming down at basically identical times I guess jyj Scout is slightly faster but that's it y being annoying with this SCB uh Mong I don't think he's going to force it off I think the Marine will pop out in time however jyj's Marine is very quickly done and has already racked up a lot of damage on the SCV yeah nothing crazy here man similar builds I was expecting at least like um you know like a barck expansion all these from one of the players yeah the only thing that I'm seeing different here is I keep looking at jyj's money and like dude how do you have 80 more minerals and the reason he has 80 more minerals is because he actually went for one Marine expand whereas you see Mong go for two now I've been seeing sometimes players when they build two marines immediately build an add-on and go straight tank that's not the case here with oh my God he doesn't get it close though and all three back on the gas for both sides so this actually don't think it's going to be three- Ultra from either side this looks like it could be two- tank Goliath jyj going to be aggro here with his vulture you got to be careful if you get caught uh it's going to be it's going to get ugly real fast cuz he's got he's got an add-on coming down yeah he needs a run from from from y so nothing nothing happening but um come like do something with this with the two vultures like technically right now yes he could make an attack but he doesn't know that there's an add-on so he's not willing to commit here instead he's just focusing on getting his build order up and running second fact going down for both sides it's actually three vultures from M I guess he's going for mines here whereas I I'm pretty confident that this is actually tank Goliath from jyj I don't see the Armory anywhere oh maybe it's not is it really going to be a third fact okay it's going to be Heavy Gas actually he he mined three on gas and then pulled off so it is going to be three fact from both sides yeah but that was a really good m game from J J again you got so much Advantage already like mon could put some danger in this uh in this natural but now yep and now punish yeah now when Mong sees the tank he's going to be thinking it's tank Goliath or tank wraith which is why you see the vulture rallied in the main of jyj he wants to hide the fact that he's actually going three fact for as long as possible I guess this has to be for Speed I can't imagine it being for anything else if you're going to hide the vultures I feel like you must be wanting to get out there really quickly with the vultures there goes there goes the tank he's going to lead the way with going to the Watchers he does now he now sees that it's a three fact and Mong I don't see I thought he went mine upgrade but I don't see any upgrades completed for him so he he's gone speed also but the problem is is he's got Mass vulture into Mass vulture but this guy has an additional t yeah but the thing is like he can actually like use the brides to to his Advantage yeah so it's not going to be so easy for y to well never mind Mon's going for it yeah the Barrack sees where these vultures are like he knows that they're out okay like you said it is hard to get across the bridge so even if you lead with the tank The Arc is going to be amazing for Mong however Mong has went off to the right side this is going to get weird because cuz jyj's Army is already here man I think he's trying to set up a massive flank oh he almost intercepted those vas but wasn't able to uh Mong you need to get here you're about to lose you're natural he's trying to come through the back but the bridges he he was on move command so much damage already taken the tank in the front is going to get popped but these vultures there's an overwhelming amount for M or for jyj right now the tank ends up finally dying but look how many scvs are starting to fall he can kill this tank easily one versus what 10 I mean he all the B as well see oh oh the mine didn't actually explode but he does kill a ton of SCV so Mong is going to fend off the attack but at what cost also jyj has mines now so there's no way that Mong can Counterattack that was a really good move from jyj it was an amazing move he killed so much Eco now he's on four factories um by I she's going to out produce a mo by far so I I I don't know what camon do to to come back in this game like y put mins everywhere like map control is is not assistant to to mon right now yeah and what sucks also is if he gets an academy that's going to cut into his SCV count also after losing so many scvs so he's just really in a horrible position but he's got to get the Comack if he doesn't get the com that how does he clear these mines and I love what jyj is doing if if he gets scanned M's going to see fora and think oh this guy's just all enemy well not necessarily all enemy but you understand like going Mass factories but he's actually hidden a starport at the corner of his base so he's actually going to start building up some race y can't do so much he can't even spend so it's like yeah things like Mon's making the SCS now the SCS now so even if he has can now to clean some mines there is so much he need to clear that it's going to take him forever now yeah he may he's got to be careful here I can see these mines exploding and blowing up multiple tanks or multiple VES actually that's an add-on onto the starport maybe he's going cloak maybe he's going drop ship drop is very strong on this map because of that back pathway behind your natural oh wait minut yeah don't want to be over eager here even though you have map control right now those are those are tanks in Siege mode they they hit quite hard I'm not sure if does jyj even have Siege yet it doesn't seem like it yeah but he already used two scans so now he's on hold yeah now he can can't move much farther just chill out got a almost a 20 Supply lead for jyj when tan versus Taran one big Siege hit or one big mine hat mine hit can turn that 20 Supply lead into zero we've got command centers being built from both sides it is actually going to be drop ship play from jyj yeah I think it's a good move because Mong M is so behind that he doesn't have the units to to bewhere that is true and the command center is on oh he scans it so he sees the starport uh he missed the drop ship though we've got the first one moving out already a couple of Mines are set up behind the natural so tank drop won't be effective but a multra drop could be great uh did the Mind did the M saw the draw chip I don't see M like moving units or anything to yeah I don't I don't see any reaction so I don't think he actually saw it but these mines will spot it however there's nothing in position I guess it is kind of a long travel distance so maybe the vultures can Scurry back instead he drops directly on the net only two vultures though so they don't one shot scvs I don't know how much damage this will actually do he ends up getting two scvs so far I don't think he's going to get any in the main yeah the thing is like naoka when you are behind and something like this happened is already good damage yeah he ends up getting three scvs overall command Center's done the drop ship spots the starport any spots that race are being built now look at what this bought it bought uh jyj time to move all of his units to the left side if he gets on High Ground here with tanks I don't think Mong can bust that position but he doesn't actually commit to it I wonder what made him turn around wow okay yeah I guess because he's controlling the Dr Chip right now is a bit a bit of multitasking taxing oh the m is open yeah he he he made Mong think like hey I'm going to go attack the left side but hello I'm not I'm actually hacking straight through the center and now Mong is going to lose some tanks here looks like the tanks for Mong are going to get off okay shots he needs to desperately get rid of these two tanks okay he's going to take down one of them does get the second one but uh I feel like that was an okay trade for both sides um he L like four times yeah he did we actually got some race being built for jyj and his Rally Point is kind of weird on that I don't think the race will actually get scouted could catch Mong off guard because he's shown that he's gone drop ship so Mong is probably thinking like it's just going to be continued drop ship play but it's actually not going to be the case yeah recovering so much terrain right now oh um Vision Advantage for Mong goodbye tank this is exactly what you should be doing in tvt pick off any tanks that are isolated now neither player has built the fourth oh another tank is going to get taken down that is really well done from Mong he needs some more trades like that he's got control over his left side so he can think about taking a fourth base this is going to be six fact seven fact for jyj I think it's six fact right now for Mong so pretty similar Factory counts but like I was saying those race I think are now sitting at four or five and I haven't seen a single Goliath out for months he needs to be careful yeah I I feel like m is playing good um playing actually actually playing fantastic if it wasn't for the early game uh we probably will be seeing a different or at least like a more in control game for him yeah he wouldn't be you know kind of stuck U okay drop ship gets spotted wraith gets spotted but still he there's no anti-air I'm waiting for these race to show themselves look he's got five of them waiting this is going to be rough he's going to most likely catch this drop ship okay there's some Goliath finally got some anti-air and he will intercept these vultures the vultures at least get spotted can he get any SCV kills the answer is he gets one he doesn't like those stop the yeah he did stop the CC but those those those SCS that were rallied up there did not get taken down I think get two we might have a long game e oner cuz both players well at least jyj taking his fourth oh did the Goliath die where are they there's there's no anti-air maybe the GL went too far forward what happened drop ships on the left side though this could get D oh he he scans it well I think he actually missed the drop ship no he did not here he comes no way of going oh my God I to he will intercept the drow chips oh did miss it so double drop you would think that this drop will do a lot of damage but my experience making drops like this happen on dark origin actually a lot of Teran just defend it really well so I'm not sure how effective this will actually be however this move will be effective whether he gets in range of the command center doesn't really matter well maybe not those M connect he's going bed off yeah he's bleeding off these tanks because the drop is happening at its natural right now but the problem is is there's no anti-air well this going to get cleaned up really quick golias were sitting here waiting for the vultur so this got denied very easily and uh-oh jyj has already a lot of Tanks set up here I don't know if Mong will be a oh big connection I don't know if Mong will be able to take this base he lost all of his supporting units now it's basically only tanks yeah the drop was a good idea man like if imagine like instead of instead of of vult just like goots yeah Goliath do soak up a lot of hits they also deal more damage than the vultures uh Mong oh I actually thought that was Mong taking top right but that's jyj taking top right this is starting to get out of hand Mong desperately needs to get mid left instead is he going to make a move through the center does anybody have plus two oh well this could be an anti- timing jyj moving into Mong while he's got a ton of Tanks coming out um I think it's solid defense here by y yeah looks like there's going to be a few too many tanks on the bottom side but it does look like there is an opening on the oh maybe not three tanks are going to set up in Siege mode mines are going to try and get set up you got to remember there's still those race so they can just move over here and help support there's still no Goliath yeah any when they a great Advantage he was really able to break plus two just kicked in for m oh plus two just kicked in for jyj so these tanks hit really really hard there's still no Goliath man these race racking up so many that is a uh offc Center Command Center just a little bit look at box going what's he doing going straight through the center he didn't realize that there's still that many tanks and now he's going to lose all these scvs at Mid right supplies really got shaved off for jyj but I still the issue is for Mong is the fourth base special he's losing all the e yeah but he's got he's got four command centers I think he can replenish this easily I'm I'm most worried about these tanks getting continuously picked off by race and there's still no fourth Command Center for M that is a huge Army though how many tanks are Behind These Rays oh I I I I don't know how m is like making that many tanks to be honest I don't know either like why is there well I guess the Gap is because he has five tanks over on the left side jyj I mean that's why uh he obviously doesn't have as much in the center but like I said jyj he has five commands there look at this is are these fully loaded if they're fully loaded he may just wait for Mong to move out and go for a counter Doom drop oh mong's desperate he's pulling the boys here he goes this is maker break for him if he doesn't break out of this he's going to feel or he's probably going to get starved out but at the same time jyj is going for a doom drop into the natural into the main uh look at for M there are t tanks popping so oh he cleared it he cleared the center there's actually not that much he's doing kind of a weird drop at the natural while also dropping the third base that is a lot of Tanks though oh he's shutting down both bases at the same time however Mong with a Counterattack to top right he's going to knock down the fourth base well also knocking down the fifth base mining supplies have plummeted for both sides look at mong's money though 95 he's stuck at 95 cuz he is not mining at all oh this game is pure C Eco damage everywhere but I feel like jyj is winning this uh B yeah Command Center is dead it is completely blown up so that's gone all the scvs have died from Mong except for the ones in the main I don't even know where this drop came from but we got five tanks in the main now there's still no Goliath oh he just loads it back up there is a wraith to try and save the day these tanks are so strong though goodbye okay he will clean it up but man massive losses on both sides that tank is oh there's a drop he unloaded over there again um where are the race jyj probably has his race still alive right not see I guess he he could have he could have lost him uh jyj setting up another contain out outside of the third oh he sees that these tanks are not sieg which means it's go time it's eight tanks versus two good shot from Mong but it's just the numbers game goliaths are going to try and save the day look how fast those Goliath get blown up tanks from the top side instant Focus fire from jyj and now it's 89 Supply to just 60 from Mong oh did did did Mong kill jyj's fourth Command Center it looks like it's dead I don't even know like like how how long like still going like yeah he was not mining I mean he's still barely mining but he's got his two bases up and running now he I guess rebuilt the command center at the natural fifth base is still denied okay there's a big SCV transfer to top right and yeah true he has many scvs maybe he has even like more scvs than J J right now yeah he might he did take a lot of losses there is a vulture okay I thought he was going to do a run by to top left but not going to be the case wow that is still so many drops and this time with Goliath also loaded up wherever he drops race will not be able to save the day he may just carpet bomb this Army there's not there's not a lot here yeah this is going to be it this is going to be maker break Mong needs to kill this Army and it does not look like he's going to so he's going to lose everything and jyj he should take game one there it is GG comes out and that was a great game really back and forth really chaotic near the end uh and like you said in the beginning if Mong didn't take so much damage you know we could have seen a victory here potentially man it was super close it was actually super close um it was actually way closer than I what I expected like he took so much damage all game long and like like J was trading so well like getting so many TS early on as well like controlling the center I I honestly I he play he plays really good like to be to be behind like that and be able to put that kind of pressure and I'm hopeful that he can do better yeah I think he's definitely got a shot here not only did he take a lot of damage to the beginning remember the race from J byj like killed so many tanks also Mong had that fail drop outside of the natural of JY J so like three things went really wrong for him and he was still in it so definitely have high hopes for him on Blitz Blitz another two-player map this is another map where proxies can be very very strong so both players going to be very need to be very diligent with their scouting let's get into game two all right in the top right we do have Mong he needs your energy chat because he is one game away from being eliminated meanwhile J J one game away from making it into a rematch versus Buu no SCV being sent out you're generally sending it out on five if you're going to be eight raxing so this should be a normal opener from both sides yeah just comes to mind that they're playing two players map back to back yeah and this map drops are incredible not only can you not only is there so much surface area to drop but if you drop the you're overlooking the third base at the same time so I do expect this map uh to have tons and tons of drop ships also with drops you can control that center right base right and that's that got what like triple gas or something crazy so very important to control the air actually I didn't see a single Teran versus Teran on this map is that actually something that happened they use that Island well it's really hard to get but if you can get it it's uh very impactful I also have not seeing anybody get it because generally the game doesn't get to that point or if it does get split both players know how important that base is and make sure they always have defense there yeah because I know you can shut down the the the island from yeah from on side so it's it's a difficult one it is difficult and there is the racks and gas from both sides okay for a moment I thought this was going to be 14 CC forong but not going to be the case just another 12 gas opener from both yeah they are respecting each other right now yeah nothing I was going to say I'm surprised that nobody's actually scouted like they nobody even scouted their natural nobody scouted I guess jyj scouted the corner of his base but Mong didn't really Scout um neither player is roing of course but it is is very common on here jyj going to send out his Scout and Mong going to also so pretty much identical timings yeah I was thinking like is this one actually like better for the for the grace play better for wraith yeah yeah wraith can be good if you if you intercept a guy going drops well that can be tons of Supply gone in an instant and race like you saw last game jyj built a decent amount of them he built like five so we definitely could see race style it is again one Marine from jyj in a liftoff will Mong do the same thing looks like he's actually going double Marine again and my only issue about like going going grave on on this map is that there are not too much GS there is like a me only so I I don't I don't know yeah and if you don't get mid left or yeah if you don't get mid-left and you deny midle so both players just end up have having for gas you know you can run out of gas real quickly going going race they're very very expensive units and jyj that should be a Depot I thought it might be a starport for a moment but not just yet SCV coming in for a secondary Scout actually manages to get by the Marines somehow we'll not get into the main though so we'll only see one one vulture this time around it does look like jyj is going for multiple vultures how many will it be though usually it's two sometimes player goes for three second Factory going to be coming down for Mong but did he invest in St he hasn't invested in anything yet he's caught the vulture oh it actually gets away now JJ's puts down his second factoring this time Mong actually goes for fast add-on himself two vultures into fast add-on actually jyj's going triple quadruple vulture now if you're going to go quadruple vulture you got to move across the map you cannot just sit here you got to do something with it and there he goes he's avoiding the barracks also so Mong has no idea this is coming this could be really bad especially if it's a tank um well I think I see I think it might be the tank well if if jyj doesn't go in okay it is a third vulture so that's fine he is just going to most likely back off oh instant repair really good repair really good repair almost ends up managing to save that vulture but in the end that was really really good second Factory is faster for Mong so I don't think he's really under any threat here I don't anticipate jyj being able to bust through look at that timing perfect oo oh good Focus fire oh he's going knock down the weakend vter in the back and jyj all of a sudden he's the one that needs to start running and remember Mong got the faster fa second Factory he also had a faster add-on so he could if he's rushing speed he could catch jyj with a lower vulture count yeah but um I I'm he's doing a lot of vultur but what if actually jyj like he's I don't think he's doing that but he's making like a siege tank and key because he I see he's making like a a sinceri side actually I don't see he's going I this Mong might be able to do it right here it's six vultures versus four soon to be seven or okay actually it is six I thought that was already six so six versus four of course the Rally Point Advantage for JJ okay actually maybe Mong can't do it this is going to be really close if he actually ends up oh he's got a tank he ended up building a tank so he's going to make the same move that jyj did jyj all he does all he has is speed there's no mines this is going to be really tough to hold okay luckily he built the tank also is a similar Army yeah if it if it's it's very lucky that he built a tank there if it was vultures I think Mong easily wins the fight instead it's going to be an even Army count but Mong does have high ground Advantage he also has racked Vision so if he gets Siege mode he can be in a killer position look at the supply 73 to 59 that's a massive lead it's almost the same situation from the last game but different different players doing it ooh he caught jyj out of position he's going to easily win this fight also T get getting a few shots off this is snowballing really poorly why why m not doing not not attacking he should be attacking I think yeah I think he might be worried that there could be mines and he doesn't want to overstep but I think he just wins with straight up Vol who just jyj sending SCV to try and build a command center no way does that happen that tank dies and look at the supplies now there's yeah it's not even close GG and we've got a series boys is that easy for m is that easy for M dang who knew you just build mass vultures mix in one tank catch the guy out of position once and you just win the game that's crazy that's the guy of play I was expecting from JY J to pull and this m doing it yeah it was really well done for Mong of course jyj's initial attack did not go as he wanted but the supply lead was huge for Mong I'm not sure how he got that up so high maybe he hit a maybe had a fourth fact that I missed but jyj sending that SCV to build a what I thought was a third Command Center that that was crazy like there's no way he could hold that by way I saw I saw saw m early on before they before the game started eating eating an Suite that worked this guy is now M only like like light yeah you got that Sugar High going going crazy on the mouse now we're getting into our final map here it's going to be radon both players on the brink of elimination very important for both sides let's get into game three find out who's going to be facing off be facing off versus bisu and our deciders match so in the top left we've got Mong and then in the bottom right we've got jyj so we've got cross spawns and we've got our first four player map is anybody going to be feeling it are they going to be feeling that 14cc anybody be feeling BBS I actually do think somebody will 14cc this game it's just so good tvt if you get away with it it's crazy strong and the SPs are per perfect for that man yep y they couldn't get any better another ASL fan he's e even repping one of the old school ASL jackets I think I'm not sure if it was season 16 but for whatever reason and that jacket reminds me of the one that effort was wearing yeah talking about jackets the the ones from this season they are fire to be honest they they are super cool they're the black ones that you're seeing right now we got depos coming in for both Sid no BBS from anybody this game just waiting to see will anybody risk it for the biscuit with the 14cc J did it against visu so why not doing it against M I know he did it in game one man even Teran versus protos that's that's that's he's a mad man doesn't seem like he's going to do it this time and Mong not either I guess game three with your tournament life on the line neither player wants to risk it now jyj is sending out a fast Scout here I guess this is going to be gasless for him he wants to scout the center to make sure he's not not getting hit with proxy racks though so that's going to be a cross Scout and because of that he will find Mong first well I think he's cross scouting y there he goes by the way now can cross SPS like this um what what do you feel about the the positions like how do you set up to to really like to defend your bases from a push if you're going castless or what or oh or just in general the spawns um just in general yeah well it seems like you're going to have to start splitting diagonally because you definitely don't want to lose control over this of the top middle base you also want to make sure you can get another main um that's what I would think you definitely don't want to give up the center the center of his massive I I feel like he's super exposed to drops like yeah also the Dead Space Between the top middle base and like the top of the map like it's huge like there's so much area there like you can't build turrets at the top base and deny drop ships from coming in so yeah drops could definitely be a massive threat there's the command center for jyj gas coming in and the SCV doesn't get into the main but he at least sees that there's no command center so he knows that he's got uh an Eco Advantage um by the way then is scouting this so late that I don't think there is even if you wanted there is not really a way to to punish this build from J J sometimes you could can do like a proy factory or something like that but I think it's too late now yeah it's really hard to punish gasless I I still don't know how to punish it like it just for whatever reason I I I can't can't deal with it I think the best counter I've seen in my opinion is it was a game a long time ago light versus Flash on Ground Zero flash just just rallied like outside of the natural like not not close to the Natural but like in between the natat and the third base for example here and he just sat there with tankia and light could never get out so I think a a good contain like that could be strong but I don't think mong's going to go for it he has gone for instant add-on now you would think that this would be for starport but these days I've actually seen more and more players Rush mines here so I'm going to assume that this is going to be for mines whether uh the mines connect on anything or not doesn't really matter it gets you Vision which is great so you'll know when jyj makes a move out on the map by the way is that is that a complete wall or there is there is an opening that should be a complete wall I'm pretty sure it's a complete wall so shouldn't be able to get in straight add-on for jyj kind of risky to go no star ports when you're going gasless because you do need vision and if you don't have air superiority you can't get that but luckily for him not facing race this time mong's actually going into Armory so he he may be listening in maybe he's thinking about rallying tanks and Goliath across the map um but it's cross as pound is like is sending the Unis over there is is going to take so long for him yeah it will take a long time so I guess probably won't go for a contain the Armory is most likely just in anticipation of race because usually when you go gasless you do go starport at least one sometimes even two but jyj mixing it up here with double add-on Armory AC Academy I'm surprised he making Academy so fast yeah I think he realizes he's getting contained from mines or by mines so he wants to scan and clear them out immediately I think we saw jyj play something similar was it versus tangu or somebody in the round of 24 and he followed up this two fact with like a five fact pretty quickly and there goes the third and fourth yeah so he's going to be trying to hit some type of bus timing with this I don't think this is you know just to try and get map control I think he really wants to hit something really hard well mon he has ples mines everywhere he has like a really good map control right now um making second Refinery as well but he's only on two Factories at the moment he making a tier one but it's only on two yeah I like how long has spaced out mines on the right side cuz those are you know unlikely Pathways not really going to connect but the pathways that jyj are likely to take they have multiple mines there so if he kills like two out of the three mines and one connects well that's a lot of damage right and if two connect stuff's blowing up so he does need to be careful here and jyj on the Move Army is not that big Marine going to lead the way will soak up one mine hit will it no does not oh oh that one doesn't connect oh he scans but he misses those mines well at least he's cleaning the the espo side yep and fact that he cleaned up that side of the map makes me think he may actually not be going for a bus maybe he wants to take a fast Third Base there goes the SCV but he has a lot of tanks and Goliath right now whereas Mong he's got a decent tank count not sure if he has Siege if he has Siege I think he's fine but if he doesn't have Siege could be in trouble there's the Mind connection I was talking about goodbye Goliath just like thatai is a expensive unit he got really lose it l that yep and I do hear Siege so Mong does have it and he is very far forward jyj with Mong being this far forward out on the map I think jyj suspects that this guy must be taking a third base which is why you see him looping around towards the left side thinking that there might be a third over there oh he avoids he avoids all of them mong's in trouble there's a lot of tanks in Goliath here three tanks are not enough vultures are good to try and buy time but they are not great at fighting and jyj H that tank is alive no mines connect this is what I talking about I didn't think that this was going to be for just a contain he goes for a killing move he takes down all the tanks now he can set up a contain outside of the natural while also denying the third base he might just go for the throat oh ni are going to kill this St man well kill one I'm not sure if it's going to be oh my God look at the supply Eon Z 49 to 88 in an instant the game gets turned on its head hand off the keyboard bong he TOS Taps out in jyj he is going to bulldo through Mong in game three man that was so unfortunate like wow he he lose that in a Flash like that that was the game like just like he he magic he put some magic in dodging the mines in the left side Go in all of a sudden all the SPAC is open and mon just like Panic Siege and lose all the units yeah I think M I'm not sure if Mong had scans himself but he must have expected J J to take an expansion after clearing out the mine on the right side but jyj actually had a timing coming if if Mong had matched the factory count instead of expanding I think the game goes on if you look at the workers you know they're very close supplies are very close yeah he avoids the the mines but I mean this is just a skimpy Army it's three tanks one Goliath and six vultures or something and vultures don't really do any damage here also you got to remember these vultures have used all of their mines whereas jyj has mines yeah it's my issue here is that he sees pretty much in the face of the J J Army like it's really like it didn't help to Sea though yeah it doesn't but it's kind of like a damned if you do damned if you don't type of situation right like there's so much stuff for jyj if you just run where are you going to run to your third base well then he's just going to kill that if you run to your natural he just going to contain you and then you're screwed either way I don't know what Mong should have done the only thing he could have done was not build a fast Third Base like that I think that's really his only option at the end of the day he just died to pure prodution pretty much yeah and and that's really hard to make work in tvt so well done from Jay White J he does it again don't know how he does it this sets us up for a rematch versus bisu we're going into a break and then we'll be back in the next couple minutes e e e e e e e e e e e and we are back we're getting into our final match of the day as you can see we had Suki take down Mong bisu take down jyj that set us up for Suki getting out in first place versus bisu then jyj just took down Mong in some good games especially game two and now we've got a rematch of our first game of the day can bisu do it again can he take down jyj or will jyj get revenge that is the question what maps are we going to see from these two what are going to be the B the bands um I don't think we're going to see Troy Nan I don't think it's going to it's going to happen this time yeah I think Troy is just one of those Maps that's going to be vetoed all the way until the finals jyj did veto it versus Mong something to point out bisu did not veto it in his games versus Suki so I guess there is a world where it could make it through but I imagine this is just an immediate vetto from jyj somebody lit it through in the round of 24 B versus Buu Buu what he proxy and well the game ended real fast and there's the ban rad on ban again from bisu so back toback rad on bands for him whether it's PvZ or pvt for whatever reason he just does not want to play that map that does give us what was it dark origin Citadel and retro so pretty standard Maps let's get into game one dark origin is going to be map one and in the top left our protos player it is bisu and meanwhile in the bottom right or tan it's jyj oh you love to see it fast probe this should be a nine gate I don't think this is fast enough for a 7 s could also be for no I don't think it's for just gas steel I think this is a proxy do you think so it it should be if you're gas stealing this fast I I don't know what you're doing I like this is just absurdly quick Now where's the pylon going to go whoa it's going real deep okay that's farther than I thought it was going to be I thought it was going to be near the bridges but in M why not making it the M by the way um well if you get scouted in the main I mean that gets scouted really quickly whereas when you build it at the natural tan has to pull a lot uh pull quite a far distance and sometimes you can actually get the Zealot out um so I think that's mostly the reason and here comes that probe and a 10 RX for jyj so he expects something like this to be coming and he's right now bisu he does need to gas steal because if you don't gas steel becomes pretty obvious what you're doing okay y there's the gas steel now it's a good timing it doesn't really give anything away jyj needs to scout for this like he needs to know that this was a proxy gate because the best counter to it is going two racks and if he does not build a second racks it could get ugly if he loses any amount of Marines and when I see be be doing stuff like this it reminds me his game against Flash in the pro league final he put a crazy multitask in the stealing gas making pons in the mid lines oh no that's a huge win for jyj probes actually deal a decent amount of damage and there's the second racks and yeah I know what game you're talking about is the Marine medic game right with the that flash pulled out air incredible game actually someone linked it to me recently but the first is on the way but because it's a 10 RX Marine's already out second Marine's going to be out pretty soon and another probe has to be sent yeah that that the the important part is the is the worker and he lose that so yeah also what a lot of Teran players do is they take one SCV and they just attack your pylon I'm not sure yeah there is an SCV there and SCV does actually a surprising amount of damage like if you're not paying attention that pylon could could could be dead ooh that was good Stutter Step micro that was a hurt SCV and gets taken down immediately yeah but that that is too bad producing Marines um at least pis is already transitioning from this he making the gas in the in the main probably make going to make a second gway as well yeah so the magic number that jyj is looking for here is seven is pretty good versus three zealots after that you're really looking for something like 9 to 11 once you start reaching that amount of numbers these zealots cannot hold the Marines they're just way too strong so these needs to be careful do not bleed any zealots he's already lost a lot of Shield health oh here we go there's the seven that I was talking about but he needs a couple more Marines ooh good body blocking focuses down one of the Zealot but they get on top of the Marines and this was the fight that J or that bisu was looking for he did not have the mag number of nine Marines and he gets punished immediately oh man and loses scvs o look at that he's get most of the oh that was that was that was really good body blocks with the SCV gets rid of all the Zeal what was a disaster all of a sudden is now a disaster for bisu this Gateway is well it's not a disaster for him but he's going to probably lose his gate bunker should maybe get placed down oh I guess the pylon is too low so I guess he's really not under any threat of losing these marines and scvs to a second goon so he will knock this down Factory coming down I think uh yeah yep so can even May CC that's yeah he's got a lot of money for it and I thought Buu did enough damage killing that amount of Marines and killing the scvs but after losing those three zealots I guess he didn't necessarily do enough damage but now goons are on the Move range should be completing pretty soon this gate does give a read on how many marines there actually are which is five R's not done just yet uh if ranes complete this fast well that means that Y is going to need to repair this bunker like a like a long time the factory is no still done yeah I think range is maybe like 30 seconds away or something it should be relatively close but yeah you're right he will have to repair this for quite a while well maybe act maybe not actually this add-on's almost halfway done so jyj got his gas pretty damn fast we'll have a tank some somewhat quickly third goon is already here so the repair is kicking in Nexus coming down for Vu I did not see a robo just yet but he's got the gas put some put down some tech if he wants going to be four drons soon attacking that bunker yep four goons be a lot of lost mining time jyj where's his tank I think this has to be for Siege there's too many drons for it to be anything else it's also straight eBay you got to remember jyj didn't really Scout very well or if at all so he's got to account for that this could be DT oh the Monker okay he does unload that's a trick that some Teran do to try and uh get some goons to attack the the Marines instead of the bunker but a lot of Pros just focused down the bunker so it doesn't really work that often these days but it's going to be fast third Nexus for bisu and actually had already built the robot when I was talking about his gas that that is fight drons he can actually snip that tank J careful yeah if he's if he's channeling his in inner go to dark he may go for it not willing to risk it though it's it's very risky the pros have such good control with their scvs that you could easily get all your goons locked in and caught and at that point it doesn't become a worthwhile trade so I think it's a smart move to just pressure the bunker back off most likely jyj is going to show Siege but it would be smart if he didn't show it um well he have startet already um yep he's locked down I don't think like a Reb is going to do too much right now but River can be extremely good to contain the bridges at least so I would like to see that from visu yep I agree uh Vu still no not gas that's I would assume probably what the Rax is looking for is the gas timing at the N of course now that now that I remember he has a second rack he can just go straight into the main and figure out what's going on but this is going to confirm there's no carriers we'll also see that there's no support Bay like you said so no Reaver I was just thinking like why teros are not doing this more often like it's like one 150 minut and you are getting all this info yeah it it's a good idea I think J like to answer your question directly the likelihood of a protos player attacking a rack with only one goon or two goons is quite low like if if he had sent these five guns back the rxs would just immediately die right so then you're just wasting 50 minerals but it is a good idea whenever I do get in this situation where I also have a second Rax of course you might as well just lift it across the map it doesn't help you at all and again we're going to have for fact from jyj hopefully he learned his lesson and won't go for a timing CU I don't think it's going to work here either third base is already kicked in massive econ for bisu and he sees everything yeah it's a totally different game so it's really oh five back wow oh five factories okay what do this can punish the ti expansion from B yeah so five fact you can do timings with it but these days a lot of players are going into five fact to force protos to go a lot of gates and then they just expand it by behind it so then protos gets stuck with a lot of Gateway units which are you know not great unless you've got storm and then you're facing a tan who just expanded also you didn't take a fourth base so it's kind of uh tough to to read exactly what teran's going to go for we'll see what Vu responds with or what jyj is going to do he's unsing he's acting like he's going to make a move but I think because there's no vultures I actually think he's just going to expand B bis didn't make Rivers at all rer take he's going straight to CAD yep I think actually straight Citadel is a good move you go straight into Arbiters Arbiters are really good versus five fact like as soon as you get the Arbiter out whether you have stasis or not doesn't really matter goodbye because you've got the uh invisible units and tan only has a limited amount of scans so I think it's smart that jyj is going to expand behind this again we have this what looks like weird positioning of the tanks but I've seen light do this so many times it is incredibly effective like you lay a bunch of Mines there only a couple tanks in the front and prus loses so much stuff if they even try to make any type of move there the first few vultur moving out on the map going to get some mines down yeah when when does a move like that me if I was playing protos I would be tempted to to at least one of the tanks you know but the reality is if I do that I will get so much that much my units yeah the tanks are you just bait with one tank in the front and they get splashed by you know five tanks behind them just like that uh more turrets going down what light usually does is he builds a bunch of Supply Depot actually but I guess jyj may be fearing that shuttles could be on the menu you got to remember in the apocalypse game Vu built like 20 shuttles that game like he built so many of them so could come back and help him out but we know it is Arbiters this time and I don't think it's been scan defended against this B Mo yeah this is not going to do any damage the Observer did it spot the vultur running towards the left side I'm not sure but jizu is he gonna try and make a move here Canon's not done probos are too far away though I don't think this will do much speed wow look Zealot speed is already done this does signal that protos wants to do some type of bust if he ever sees Taran out of position he's going to pounce on it yep but so far yaa J is not really showing any in thinking about like being aggressive it's more like making units like you say to to defend um turns out that bizu now has a lot of Supply that maybe he didn't need this area yep but he is he's still got good Tech he's got Arbiters coming and I don't think he can attack anywhere the supply is too high like JJ 138 almost 140 really really good supply for this point in the game he's also got a starport done science facility coming I'm sure so 2-1 even though it's going to be delayed compared to you know years past oh actually m yeah there's not that many min there's no s city either the V out of position this could be the move that is looking for he for a complete this is a really good move from beu Lost mining time for sure for jyj oh he's going to commit really there's no mine so it makes sense look at the tanks could Splash each other jyj desperately trying to focus fire these tanks that's why you see all the tanks changing uh targets here the zealots are getting melted supplies plummet for bisu the vultures are coming back to save the day I would say that was not the Move That B was looking for he takes down a decent amount of Tanks but he loses almost his entire Army for it um he was almost like a equal trade here um o now y j is free to go man yeah well it looks like it could be a strong timing with the 1 one but the arbiter's out and now you're going to be attacking across the bridge also you got to remember these goons on the right side they did not all die so there's flank potential he did take down the shuttle though so shuttle bomb not on the menu will take a while for that to happen but the command center is lifted so still no three base econ for JJ this feels like it could be a misstep look at that smart move send in just one solid at a time seen using his SCS over and over so he he can have that many yeah exactly it's hard to deal with Arbiters when you're only on two comsats oh look at this bisu if he sharks around to the left side he could set up almost a 360 surround on these units that are way too far forward vultures are going to shut down this fourth base again I wonder what bisu is waiting for these are isolated tanks I guess he just doesn't feel like he's got enough to jump on it is actually using a SC without even like needing it so B why is bisu not actually like using Arbiters now yeah I thought he was going to try and stasis that Army and go and blow it up but instead jyj is actually going to be able to retreat and these goons overstayed their welcome now he's obligated to fight he's going to try and take down a tank but he doesn't even get one now vult from the top side all these goons are going to die yeah I I don't understand why be like took so long for for he now he lose that Army for free um oh yeah those goons pretty expensive right seven goons or something bisu I don't think can make an attack here anymore yes he has an Arbiter but he only has one stasis he only has one recall oh chip yep I see it he's going for the third base overlooking the ledge by the way no third gas for a beu here so he's really prioritizing you know Gateway units he's not going to have you know six Arbiters or something insane cuz he just can't build them Ultra drop okay going to rack up a lot of probe kills send that man to be honest yeah not as many as I was expecting it to be something that sniped at bottom left looks like there was a vultra that popped a probe so the fifth base gets denied jyj's almost even in Supply his tank count is really large at this point and I think he's going to be moving to try and take his fourth base now what about Grace Grace Karan I think is 1-1 right now 22 should be very close like really really close maybe like within the next 30 seconds I'm guessing so it's going to be a massive power Spike however bisu is moving towards the right side JJ is also on the right side and this is a really hard angle for Tan to make work yeah he's yeah he has two stasis stasis is really powerful well tanks are really powerful in this position Vu needs to wait for jyj to come up and then stasis oh is he going to recall he's going for it are there turrets oh he one shot I can't believe it's survived and it gets in you can see that the Armory is no longer spinning so I'm going to guess plus two kicked in just barely in the nick of time oh whoa this is just going to trigger an immediate counter I don't know about this stas is on the ramp I don't like this at all he could use two stasis and probably do really good damage in that tier but well that is now he oh go ahead no no now he's in a base trade situation um base trade situation I don't think fros Army can beat taran's Army right now fros needs to run he needs to just run run run and try and buy as much time as possible okay at the same time he's attacking the third base I didn't realize that that Army still there the the Army in the in the main base is still alive jyj is kind of getting picked apart here the Army did not attack the natural and third base that quickly it's going to be hard to get over the bridges I think third base is dead he can do a sandwich here to this Army yeah vultures are out of position now the there's no D Matrix here tanks are isolated Buu collapsing on all sides by the way there are tanks that shut down bu's fourth base but the entire Army gets crushed and that means bisu has a 70 Supply lead now he is in Prime position to take this game wait he even kill the CC yeah he killed the Armory he killed a million Depot the units are locked up on the ramp this Army got blasted the Arbiter still alive nothing going in favor of jyj and bisu should be momentarily uh seeing the GG coming out from jyj oh I remember this move from J as well blocking the ramp like that 1 million units yeah um but bizuu is fantastic here I I don't think like y can really like win this game anymore yeah 94 to 150 also Pros econ is bananas he's got four bases five fifth base just came up I don't think the Arbiters died either so you know a second recall could be coming this just STI Suli yeah he's yeah there's still a goon killing the Supply Depot it's crazy and look at that energy 110 he only needs about 45 oh we're not going to get to 45 seconds cuz this is most likely the last attack beu coming in here where's the stasis he's going to get he doesn't even need stasis look at this he's just running through this Zealot is going to kill every tank see you later GG and that means bisu he is one game away for making it into the round of eight oh what a game man b b playing some crazy games today yeah he turned up the heat in this game he was on point uh I thought he overstepped with that big attack where you know they kind of traded armies but his recall was fantastic and obviously the stasis on the ramp just triggered jyj into a bad move there like he lost his third base he lost his main he lost his whole Army in the center of the map the game got completely turned on its head and jyj now what can he do it's going to be what is it Citadel or retro as the second map he needs to get it together here ret retro okay well this is a good TVP map so I I do have good expectations here but Citadel it can be tough um I'm I'm not really too sure about that I mean about the the TVP side because it's true that on cadel you you do you have almost the Mina only so easy to take and to defend that don't you like Auto take the for expansion as well like isn't that like super super easy for a t player yeah in theory it is easy to get four bases but Citadel has like an open main recall is really strong there I see a lot of games where best plays and a lot of times he gets like three4 of the map uh sometimes Taran still wins because tan is just insanely strong but you know it can snowball really hard when protos gets econ like that but you are right four base tan is absolutely crazy it is somewhat easy to get on Citadel but we've got to get there first because retro is our second map and players are ready so let's see if pisu can close it out or if jyj starts staging his comeback all right in the bottom left is this the game that gets him into the round of eight it's Vu and in the bottom right looking to crawl his way back to a one1 series we've got jyj well the last game he did appro gate I don't think we are going to see that in this one but we could see 11 Nexus we could see a fast Nexus here really strong uh build in TVP or in pvt however jyj did get good spawns here if it is a Nexus it's horizontal spawn really close Rush distance uh but retro can get tricky you know you do have to go up those uh Pathways could buy some time with a prob allot real quick and finally we see a beuan there Tak Sheen which means bisu god which is what he wrote on his sign there jyj Depot coming down and bisu pylon in the main so you're right not going to be any forward gate this time um with these positions um it's going to get tricky here for ywa Jay with the with the opening he's been doing the last two games right what opening the gasless the four four factories four factories oh four factories four factories it it gets you a lot of units so I think forax will get him his third base really easy at bottom middle but it will be hard to push it it's kind of hard to go up The High Ground down down the low ground into an arc so I don't think so again I think if he goes for fact or five fact it's just to take a base I do not expect the timing this time around I think this was a 12 gas from jyj Vu just doing a normal opener here Gate Gas we'll have to see if he builds any zealots I have a feeling it's not going to be any zealots just based on that Gateway positioning and SCV on the Move where will he go if he goes horizontal he's going to be loving it if he goes vertical and he is loving it he got lucky also with this positions I I think like bis is going to be happy to go reavers yeah Reaver can be good directly into the natural could get some good juicy shots off and probe actually went for a cross Scout interesting Scout pattern from protos there will not see either well will not intercept the SCV at all so she has no no idea what direction it came from and Gate's done so it is just straight draon will he go for goon Nexus or will he get range is really what we're waiting to see this is going to be a scouting last nen y lastation to the left and now he need to go to he probably thinking like go top right again so who knows yeah a bit unlucky for beu fans out there that this is going to be a really terrible Scout timing I guess he will feel somewhat relief that he's not running into a 14cc again because if Taran gets away with a 14cc versus this opener it's uh really hard for protos to come back from jyj's Factory is done instant add-on okay kind of it's funny to say kind of old school because these days almost every game Teran players open straight vulture but he's going to go in immediate add-on probably still going to get mines but it could be for a fast tank Y come on Center for ya J um I'm surprised this scvs is still is scouting and getting INF for him yeah and getting all this Intel gives jyj the ability to not have to build a bunker taran's getting away with absolute murder here skipped vulture I actually think he skipped vulture again on the second uh chance and now he's going straight tank with no Punker abs absolutely crazy crazy G okay at this point you need a bunker man like range is about to kick in oh DT has a followup in game two where everything matters he's going to risk going for a DT play he's saying to jyj I can win the game immediately I'm going to catch you off guard it could also be DT drop I guess wow DT drop yeah could be I think H I think he just put down the robo right now I think so yep Citadel Robo so it is going to be DT drop however jyj has been very good about building turrets when he doesn't get all the Intel he needs uh so I do he being careful always making tets in the National yeah so I think most likely this won't catch jyj off guard but you never know SCV did out a lot like you were saying so maybe he's thinking that no way he's going to go for a delayed DT drop like this is there an academy I'm trying to see uh I don't think an Academy is buing built being built eBay is definitely not started just yet that's the second Factory o yar's getting dicey there is no way he's escaping no like he can't he can es skip that anyway like he need to to to May preventive tets to the servers and all of that yeah he does need to definitely get his eBay up to prevent that but sometimes when you're making a push which I think this is going to be I think this is going to be like a four tank push sometimes you forget to build your eBay but of course as I say that eBay has started okay Observatory that's a lot of gas DT drop plus Observatory all right we'll see how this works out I'm bit confused would be so build right now um because funny enough he if he just like sended it this straight to the Teran base he could have done some damage eBay's not done eBay's not done these DTS look how fast the shuttle gets across the map if he unloads at the natural we may have jyj tapping out turret's late it is late he sees it coming he thinks it's a Reaver it's not I don't see any or any mines so this is going to do damage no matter what Oh's body block what it actually gets completed in the main it's going to complete but there's no turrets at the bottom side so I still think the DT will deal some damage but it's less than I was anticipating also whatever that building is at the bottom side that's going to get canceled it's an Armory so catching the Armory is going to be fantastic also you need to be careful to not lose the DT to Splash damage yep you are definitely right about that double turret at the natural what is this five turrets being built overall lots of oh he might kill the tank okay losing the second DT really does hurt cuz now he can't deny the gas he can't just be annoying in the mineral line anymore but he will you know poke I guess this Factory and add-on get some Marines but actually the Marines don't really help tearing it off so it's not a big loss you know the D openings are one of the most expensive in proto versus um do you think that like he has done enough with this DT opening I actually do think he did enough damage I think he disrupted The Mining and he gets out and I think he forced enough turrets I think he denied the gas he also denied the Armory I think overall this was a win for for bisu also because jyj doesn't have scans yet like it's not like he can immediately Counterattack across the map and punish this so B is going to be able to get his Arbiters out really quickly and be going into the mid game in a good spot and now he's going to get his third base coming up so I think everything is going really well for Buu he's coming back with the yeah well why not just keep the Army back as long as he keeps the Army back I mean he he's what's going on he's going to spend top no is was a mistake I think I'm not sure I'm I'm kind of okay there's the pylons and Nexus coming up wow AR n is so fast yeah Arbor is going to be a really good followup here visu has not that many units which is why you saw him you know using that shuttle to keep the units back because one of the weaknesses of DT drop is you just don't have a lot of stuff so you can be vulnerable to counterattacks but jyj doesn't have that many scans so as soon as the Arbiter comes out they doing I think he's going to try and Rush a fast Third Base but the problem like I said is he doesn't have a lot of scans this DT I I heard a scan go off he may not even have an additional scan use the DT man come on send the DTs to the tanks well I don't know what okay there we go he is just going to set up for I think a third base yeah DT is going to come in here and snipe some scvs and it gets away jyj fans not looking scan the the the Arbiter early on uh I'm not sure if he scanned the Arbiter early on I think he probably suspects Arbiter because Arbiter is a com common followup to this but if you suspect Arbiter you need big econ I guess maybe he thinks that he's taken so much damage he can't play a mid game cuz look at this the dgs are just baiting out all the energy soon there's going to be permanent cloak with the Arbiter cuz the Arbiter is not going to die there's only one Goliath here there's no way the Arbiter dies he's making a good amount of turrets so this push is very scary actually yeah it is actually very strong 130 to 90 there's no speed on the zealots the vultures aren't here with the Army though jyj he needed to Rally his stuff you can see he just moved his camera over there to send everything at his Rally Point but it's too late he's going to lose all of his tanks okay this is fantastic for visu cleaning all this time he crushes through this you supplies still look like teran's okay at 118 to 70 but the reality is is this is not a good situation all the tanks are going to die all the zealots are going to die but there's just still so much protos and also remember the arbiter's out in like any moment now I call me crazy but that Arbiter he took forever to to to get out look at this GG even before the Arbiter GG B next round yeah and and I was thinking the same thing when you mentioned I was like Dude where's your Arbiter shouldn't it be done by now but it's one of the longest building units in the game I think it's a minute and 40 seconds and bisu made these last two games looked pretty easy crushed him on this map Dark origin I guess it was kind of dicey after his one massive attack but then his recall just completely blew the game open so well done from him you know at the early at the beginning of this uh group you know his first couple games looked kind of shaky but he recovered really well I mean that the last game on retro that was phenomenal play with the DTs just foring scans forcing scans well to to be honest in the end he didn't even even used the Arbiter so but but it was like it was a fantastic play he pulled he even saved the DD in the main with the shuttle so um overall it was very solid play yep and man that turret just slightly out of position slightly late really cost jyj also not having an academy for so long really hurt jyj this is really the uh yeah I was I was watching to see if jyj was all in or not like I was as he was making this move I was like he must have cut scvs here to go for this and it is true he did he's down to 41 kind of low but this was really the the deal breaker here is he forgot to send his freaking vultures I think with the VES he might have actually held cuz look there's no Observer like if there's a Minefield here lot of the zealots would have gotten blown up yeah not only that like there is there are so many toret that Arbiter I mean it's good but it it's going to be dangerous to to to for bizu to to deal with this uh timing yeah though I I I don't even think pisu needed to make this attack the Arbiter would have he could have waited for the Arbiter and probably been been fine but when Taran overextends this much with just tanks you got to kill it cuz this opportunity doesn't happen that often so well done from bisu he sees the moment and makes it through into the round of eight so he's going to be feeling really good about that or maybe not winning at Teran protos versus Teran in 2024 I mean this is this is great yep he did really well today so him and Suki make it through which is good news I guess because we had so many Teran coming into the round of 16 uh that you were thinking maybe we wouldn't have any zergs or protos well maybe not that extreme but we need to get through some of these URS and protos from the GetGo and Whittle down the amount of teren now only six remain we're getting into the interview with bisu here I'm sure he's very happy to make it through well you know a lot of players ask me for predictions before the groups and I don't make them anymore because they're always jinxed but what about you Ian Zerg did this group go according to plan you think uh 100% 100% yeah yeah to be honest yeah that that was actually my my prediction for this group actually my prediction was Soul key jyj um I I think jyj is really good these days but Buu for whatever reason turned it up B not ends up taking him out bisu was a lot of picks for a lot of foreigners I know jayun has him as like a a big pick tt1 also I think and he looked good at least in the last couple games well to be fair the first game was super shaky yeah so I was like wondering like okay this pizu we are getting today is probably not the same B I have have seen the past weeks or whatever um and then the games against SOI they were like super shaky as well uh but I mean we can give some credit to SOI there with the mind games um yeah the blitz match that's a lot of weird builds we've been seeing on in ASO you had the proxy Factory now we've got this hidden hatch man ladder is going to be a clown Fiesta for the next few weeks people are going to be like paranoid about scouting the entire map because it seems like literally anything could be anywhere like what the heck was that hatchman at the mineral only well now can let me tell you something this is Pro Gamer level yeah like on lad protos player see something like that it's just making 10 canons and he doesn't care yeah yeah that is true H remember like the play time one time um he he he wasn't able to scout anything and I was like okay um this guy has to be freaking out like I kill already four workers he sent to a scout or whatever he has to be making a lot of defense and then I got there and he only made like one canon in the in the wall and that was it yeah and you feel you feel like an idiot you're like what but you know sometimes when you get that far behind like the only thing you can really do is just take an extreme gamble to catch up um but yeah I know that feeling where you where you just you watch the replay and you just think to yourself like what dude like how you can't how could you possibly do that you can never do that only I was asking myself is like why I spend 450 APN trying to kill all these workers if this guy's just like going to play like that yeah that too lot of effort for very minimal uh return well we've got Group B tomorrow let me uh bring it up I guess on liquipedia it's another stack group like I think this season has one of the most stacked like groups in like like across the board groups uh I'm googling now yeah everybody group is insane in this ASM to be honest and we have a snow this season finally so this is It's a good scene yes so Group B tomorrow pretty nuts it's Minnie then we've got Barracks who actually looked really good in the round of 24 you know maybe finally it could be a breakthrough for Barracks then we've got royal another ASL champion and then we've got hero somebody that you just put him in the round of four because that's just what he does every season if we can be sure about something is that hoo is going to be in the semis yeah 100% he just doesn't ever not make the semi I wonder how many times he's made it like at least round of eight it feels like I I don't remember like ever seeing him lose in the round of 16 and because I say that of course tomorrow he's going to lose so that's just how it is Imagine AOK only like it only one there like all the way to the championship sometimes is about the the quality and not the quantity well isn't that a fact I know that about watching enough BSL games that as long as me who's in the tournament aon's got a chance and as long as bonath and DeWalt are on the protos side protos has got a chance and if we've got ion zurger true touch zergs got a chance so I know that man I thought you were you were about to tell like they have no chance yeah they got no chance man no zergs zergs have gotten good results in BSL you've got a Championship true touch gotten a lot waiting for the Zeki Championship y zi Thee I know man he was playing stormgate for a while and then he just showed up and like just blasted a bunch of foreigners like misters and stuff in some of the BSL tournaments just reminding these players like hey may not be playing right now but I'm still good we're getting a rundown of how today went as we know sulki beat Mong beat bu beat jyj Soul key beat bisu with some clever builds then jyj beats Mong in the losers match eliminating him and then Buu taking down jyj once again two to0 and that means we've got protos and Zerg through no terance just yet like this when I saw this group I was I was like a bit worried for Suki but I guess everything went according to the plan it sure did definitely the proxy hatot tree build went according to plan I don't know about his Citadel build if if he had that planned he's on a whole another level where you go mutas does no damage then you build double hydren and it still works out like I said this is tomorrow's group group b mini Barracks Royal hero this is a crazy crazy group and actually I think a lot of player players would kind of write Barracks out of this group but barracks in past asls has been playing a lot of five facts a lot of six facts and five fact is the meta right now so he could make an upset here it's of course going to be an uphill battle because all these players are superstars in the scene but I could see Barracks making something happen tomorrow you are glazing Barack so much like bro it's Mei Royal aniro in this group like this is like I know it's like the top of the top I'm just saying it could happen right Barett is really good but you are right it like doesn't like you are rooting so much for him I already know he's not making it yeah he's not yeah we know that but you got a root for him right because you want to see some fresh faces I don't always want even though I like Minnie I don't always want to see mini in the finals or I like hero right he's consistently in the top four but I would like to see someone else in the top four got to get some new faces I disagree a bit with a bit with you in this one because me is one of the most fun players to watch in a styra he he definitely is fun to watch sometimes I watch his stream and he's just doing the craziest stuff like he'll start building archons versus Taran and I'm like dude nothing happened in the game archons are horrible like vultures obliterate them tanks obliterate them what are you doing and he makes it work he's definitely got crazy strategies he also I'm not going to say revolutionized Reaver play because we know snow is the one that did that but he builds reavers like 20 minutes into the game he's still microing him he's still effective with them like he he makes everything work I know something he actually revolutionize is The Shield battery The Shield battery this guy yeah this is the king of Shield batteries is he really I don't I feel like I haven't seen him use Shield batteries that often but I guess I'm missing out you never seen he like doing these proy builds with 10 Shield batteries in the opponent's M and and like what you never seen that no way no oh my what versus what race Taran protos yeah against Teran against protos like the king of chill butteries okay well I I've never seen it apparently I'm missing out I need to watch some more mini he pulls that out in pro league also or is this just ladder or what oh yeah have seen it everywhere naok on ladder in in in Pro leagues like he's a master of Shield B well I guess I need to check out his uh his arria or YouTube channel but we just got the signal that the cast is done so again guys thank you so much for watching we I'll be back with groupy tomorrow along with Gypsy big shout out to Eon Ser to help cast today of course always treat to cast with you and I'm glad that your favorite player Suki made out we've got a zerg into the round of eight and we will see you guys tomorrow take care you e e e
