What a series! Was really hoping for game 7 as it's in the greatest map ever created and it really delivered!

[@IYPITWL]

Some of my fav moments: (spoilers) 1:14:30 Medics in SCV line is interesting idea, but they are almost as immovable as sieged tanks, so I'm sure they would cause a loss of mining. Especially with turrets in the mineral line. 1:30:30 JyJ finally finds the overlord and her0 is right back into a 34/34 supply block. That hurts more than finding it right away! 1:44:52 JyJ had to go punch something after that 4pool. You can see him almost throw his headset in the player cam. 2:01:30 Amazing timing! Lurker contain is busted with seconds before defilers arrive. What an amazing series. One of the best ASLs of all time. For sure.

[@eMbry00s]

Mining workers will just glide through medics and other units. A hold position medic could work ok, but one on stop command might get stuck on workers whenever it tries to move to one to heal it. It's giving up gas to save minerals though, since a medic dies in two volleys if focused.

[@adamgriffin4921]

I love TvZ because Tasteless is so far out of his element that he starts talking about little girls headbands.

[@richardzhang5630]

He is out of his element as a BW caster to be honest. Basically blah blah blah and repeats what Artosis says in less concise language. Comes close to ruining the experience for me. To those of you who like him, I have no quarrel with you - to each their own 😊

[@tehkt86]

@@richardzhang5630 Tasteless is good when it comes to Protoss. no denying it that his exp is quite abit lacking in other race

[@SmokerFace12]

He does fine, TvT is the only match-up he brings no value in with commentary, (Or ZvZ where they're both clueless) he's a Zerg killer as Toss, he knows Z in and out, and why would he dive deeper into Terran? thats why they duo cast and lets all the Terran stuff up to Arty and even enables Arty by asking dumb questions about Terran. Makes me sad if someone finds this "off putting or experience ruining"

​​@@richardzhang5630 Is every professional sports caster a former pro at the sport? No. No they arent. Some have never even played the sport. No one just doesnt watch football because the announcers never played football. Same here. Its not their job to have perfect knowledge of BW. Its their job to build a storyline into the game and narrate. Which Tastosis does perfectly. What a dumb reason to dislike a caster.

[@tohothewriter8002]

That 76 game was simply amazingly played by JyJ! I mean, it makes sense to tech into BCs after a two port wraith opener, right? More so on such a movement restricted map. It's a really strong build that has room to be even tighter than this I think.

[@hdwill]

Great stream. ASL has been a BLAST to watch. Thank you ASL English!

[@SplashJohn]

Finally! Not complaining, but it's been hard to wait. Let's freakin' go! (Edit -- Spoilers!) Wow, what a way to end it! After the first two maps I was shaking my head, thinking Hero was going to steamroll JYJ in 4. Not sure what happened after that -- was it JYJ finally waking up, or Hero falling asleep? Anyway, I would have been happy for either player to win, but gotta say I'm not thrilled about *another* TvT final. Oh well, it is what it is. Many thanks to Artosis & Tasteless, excellent casting as always!

[@elparguita]

1:04:31 the thing that covers the headband is actually a "replacement headband" - when your headphones get beaten up, the fake leather starts to peel and in the worst case the padding foam gets exposed, since this section of the headphones is usually not replaceable you can buy a cover with a pad in it and cover the original headband ... and may be put a curved pencil inside too

[@paulkruger7934]

spoilers... - - - - - - Love Hero, but why on earth did he not research burrow? Soulkey dealt with this so much better on various occasions (lost to JyJ for very different reasons), felt like burrow = he'd be way way way ahead after this opener and wins easily. And it's not like the wraiths were a surprise at all. Seriously puzzled, seemed like a real brain fart. Or am I missing something?

Nice cast, thanks. It'll be a good final, and... SPOILER below Although it had a rough start, I was saying 76 would turn out this way from the very beginning. It's basically the oldschool map 815 with an added early game quirk trying to make it a bit more Z friendly. I'm T-biased, but I wish tournament map designers would chill with the more extreme experiments.

None of them are Light OR Flash, it also means this will be the 3rd Terran winning ASL in a row. Terran also has the most championship wins even if you take Flash out of the equation. And you expect me to believe JyJ is better than Hero? Terran are absolutely busted right now.
