Larva has quickly become one of my favorite players. Super fun to watch and he looks really strong right now. Thanks to ASL and Tastosis for another great broadcast 🤙
So happy to see Larva getting to ro 4, been a fan since season seven when i started following asl. So good to see a player that is competitive and has a big personality
they played one of my favorite songs "only for the weak" by In Flames too bad it was the new version but I can't imagine ever hearing that song on an american show
Oh man, watching Larva block Zergling attacks with a numerical disadvantage gave me mad KeSPA Jaedong ZvZ vibes. I miss JD, wish he played this tournament before enlisting, ASL10 has been wild so far.
@@KenNywithrice too bad that it was during that time that Flash's version of the 111 was at its peak. Only a solution on how to counter it was found during the ASL6 Finals
Fun fact: Masks cause your glasses to mist up. Both of these guys wear glasses, hence why they pull the masks further and further down as the series goes on.
FOOT GAMER WILL PREVAIL!! SoulKey slipped a couple times, but overall amazing games Held my breath every time their armies engaged. I hope to see Larva win ASL! He will totally rip his shirt off! XD
Awesome games! so happy for Larva, this was karma from s8 or s7 when Soulkey said he didn't consider larva a threat at all, that being said Soulkey gave Larva respect now and Larva saw that it was good.
Why did he keep trying with the scourge. scourge suck. even if you can get them to hit, like 12 of them explode on the same muta. and dont they cost 75 gas? best case scenario you use 2 on a muta and you are only up 25 gas?
Soulkey had 10 mutas vs Larva 16 mutas lol he had no chance, larva micro'd his group of 12 muta while sending the rest of his mutas into the scourge and it was over
Is it a design flaw in StarCraft that Hydras can't counter Mutas? It would seem preferable if there was actually a meaningful tech choice in ZvZ beyond when to get each upgrade and how many scourge to build.
I guess that's is more of a question of maneuverability. Air united can come and go quickly, while Hydras would be vulnerable to lings attacks and counterattacks.
In theory, you can get 1 queen with ensnare to counter the mutas. But teaching to queen costs 2 drones and about 300 gas. So by the time you get your queen up, your opponent has 3 more mutas. So, this strat only works when you're ahead, but if you're ahead you can just get more mutas an win much easier.
Hydras were designed for anti heavy units, which works against most units T and P are likely to send against them, Dragoon’s, Factory, Reaver, Corsair, Wraith. Marines and zealots are squishy enough for Light to not matter. Meanwhile, Mutas are basically the only Light Air combat unit, which slightly fucks with most anti air options, like Dragoon and Goliath ... and Hydras. P and T can generally turtle long enough to get things like Storm, Corsair, Vessel, Valk, but Z v Z is defined by how hard it is to play defensively, making it very risky to tech long enough to get Queens or Defilers.
@@TheXantaur i don't what it is there to get mad about mistaking Scarlett playing Zerg in BW? They still need a Zerg Caster. Doesn't make you any smarter though. i present to you the real Moron
I've kinda been wanting Soma to win it all because I love his focus.....but dear God, I don't want a stupid ZvZ final. These matchups are terrible. So if Best doesn't make it to the finals (which it sounds like he won't) I'm gonna have to be pulling for Flash to beat all these freaking Zerg with his random. A ZvZ final is a tragically disappointing ending to an otherwise entertaining tournament.
I refuse to watch Larvae play, sweaty neckbeard that doesn't have an ounce of class in him. Really should have been barred for pro tournaments after he decided to put his toes on the keyboard in an invitational tournament.
No one outside of China still cares. It's already been three years since your waifu Legend got destroyed at the ZOTAC Cup, so maybe it's time to get over it.
@@jatoran Well I think I have this link listed in a file, so as long as this video isn't taken down, there is a chance I will one day search again and actually find it then, or find out some other way, so there is a chance you will one day hear back from me.

lol right

Plus, one time he beat a player in a tournament while playing with his feet.
@@rufia75 lol I heard his foot APM is off the charts
You really gotta watch Larva vs Legend on Zotac finals. Larva played the game with his foot LOL
@@cytokine6084 you've a link to a VOD of the entire match ? only finding clips
Take a shot everytime Tasteless calls Larva Soulkey 😂
I tried, got alcohol poisoning 20 minutes into the games
1:21:10 lmao
You shouldn't push people to play drinking games that'll kill them.
@@duttroach8489 it's a joke not a dick, don't take it so hard
@@yeetbra9485 while I've never heard that before, and that's hilarious btw, he was also making a joke ;)
I think Larva looks more like an ultralisk than a larva
So happy to see Larva getting to ro 4, been a fan since season seven when i started following asl. So good to see a player that is competitive and has a big personality
Thank you AfreecaTV!
Just as short as Flash 3-0 but felt like a full show
In the last battle, soul key had terrible scourge micro. He spent like 6 scourge on one muta
The ultimate OgreZergGamer move
i waste 12 scourge on1 muta jajajaj
@@lolgabber2 i waste 2 scourge on 1 scourge
Yeah , he blew it. He wasted all his scourge. It's not easy to control a group of mutas and scourges too. Larva had good micro
These videos are one of the best parts of my week. May god have mercy on us if we lose Tastosis.
they played one of my favorite songs "only for the weak" by In Flames too bad it was the new version but I can't imagine ever hearing that song on an american show
Great series!! Can't wait for finals
Great series!
SoulKey: I brought some different builds. Behold, Imma build a sunken on your creep! *Loses*
Larva: Ha, nerd, lemme show you how it's done! *Loses*
Lings too good
Tastosis start the show 10:36
Game 1 23:31
Game 2 39:48
Game 3 54:21
Game 4 1:11:46
Game 5 1:28:19
You forgot couple of things:
10:36 - Tastosis start the show
1:28:19 - Game 5
If you make a comment like that at least add a fake 5th time stamp. Just saying.
Add fake 5 game!
I appreciate the time stamps, but yea, always add a fake game 5
Oh man, watching Larva block Zergling attacks with a numerical disadvantage gave me mad KeSPA Jaedong ZvZ vibes. I miss JD, wish he played this tournament before enlisting, ASL10 has been wild so far.
Seeing JD play an entire tournament season just like in his prime days would a treat to watch
KSL1 was almost it ;_;
@@KenNywithrice too bad that it was during that time that Flash's version of the 111 was at its peak. Only a solution on how to counter it was found during the ASL6 Finals
JD had something like 75% win rate in zvz. He was so epic it's insane at the match up.
Larva's day. People please somebody knows about the soundtracks name
Fun fact: Masks cause your glasses to mist up. Both of these guys wear glasses, hence why they pull the masks further and further down as the series goes on.
Any round where larva &/or flash are still in it is a good round! Excited for round of 4
업그레이드 완료. 김민철 졌서 슬프다. 근데 홍규 선수는 이겼다!! 쩐다. 임홍규 VS 이영호?? 재미있을 것이에요!!
How do you make & focus on the same unit every game except one - losing all of those games, except that one where you didn't go for them.
What do you mean?
Where is the minutes guy?
FOOT GAMER WILL PREVAIL!!
SoulKey slipped a couple times, but overall amazing games Held my breath every time their armies engaged.
I hope to see Larva win ASL! He will totally rip his shirt off! XD
His victory knock out punch will rupture all of our screens if he wins asl....and im so down for it
@@redjowelbluetongue7689 Rewatching this three years later. This was match was amazing!
Seriously though has there been significant games where a ZvZ was won by making colonies on the opponent's creep? I can't remember that far back.
Effort built a Spore Colony on enemy creep in this one, back in 2010: czcams.com/video/1-bksncCqs4/video.html
I only remember Bisu being Hatchery pushed on his front on Medusa, guess I don't qualify to be a TL snob hahah
lo siento por el soulkey
That was so wild ''' amazing show ' great gameplay '
Awesome games! so happy for Larva, this was karma from s8 or s7 when Soulkey said he didn't consider larva a threat at all, that being said Soulkey gave Larva respect now and Larva saw that it was good.
@Bailey Goodwin Sure they are pretty, but I don't get your point.
holy crap, larvas muta vs muta micro was godlike in these games
Great ZvZ !
Hopefully the only one too ^^;
50:32 Song name? Shazam fail
캬 홍규 ㅊㅋㅊㅋ 다 이건 길쭉이덕분이다
Flash ： another Zerg ， hahahahahahahaha
Song in the beginning?
Yes, there is. It reminds me of 14th century polyphony.
Yes I need it too.
los mejores Zerg Effort > Zero > Larva > Soma > Hero grandes jugadores no decepcionan nunca!
What about jaedong and JulyZerg?
I can't believe that Hatch didn't die, vindicated by the win though
Shuttle is an ASL champion and he's got a child
Larva gonna win ASL 10
First game starts at 23:30
Larva: Look ma no hands! 1:21:14
#LarvaIsLegit
Officially rooting for Larva.
what song @12:10 ? its a ripper
I've been wondering too
아 철벽 .... 하필 저저전ㅜㅜ
Name song at 1:08:20
Say My Name - Crown Of Glory
I guess larva is better at zvz then i thought.
Ha, same here. In previous ASLs it used to be his weak spot. Guess he's a big boi now ;)
He must have been practicing offstream
Tastosis = life

It's to save mineral for drone/ling
larva is a top zerg. if watched kcm. he can already go on a 4 game win streak vs best,last,shuttle,bisu. dudes a beast
Soul key had armor in that last fight he just totally outclassed his opponent at every turn
1:19:56 SoulKey got plus 1 amor... Larva just out micro him. gg
Soulkey had 10 mutas vs Larva 16 mutas lol he had no chance, larva micro'd his group of 12 muta while sending the rest of his mutas into the scourge and it was over

Zerglings are too efficient. You can’t leave the base so get smothered.
muta + scourges beat mutas. technically. but not if 12 scourges hit 2 mutas
홍규가 4강이라니 ㅋㅋ
47:38 lol tasteless calling TL users the fuck out.
47:39 looool
Seriously... Tastosis needs a 3rd english Caster that plays Zerg. How about Scarlett?
Special Guest for starters.
If they get a third caster then it should be Sayle.
Scarlett doesn't play Zerg in Brood War.
@@GrandBenja ohhh yeah...
scarlett plays protoss you moron
@@TheXantaur i don't what it is there to get mad about mistaking Scarlett playing Zerg in BW? They still need a Zerg Caster.
Doesn't make you any smarter though.

Who else here on the Best redemption arc?
Soulkey is godly ZvT and ZvP but is just so awful ZvZ.
you can tell just how unstudied the casters are in zerg matters back to korean stream for me i guess
congratulations that you can speak Korean, not a privilege we all share
@@citizenofterra i don't speak korean
@L4unchp4d yeah its unfortunate i would rather watch them but everytime i hear some dumb shit i get pulled out of it
@L4unchp4d No thanks, I am learning Chinese.
zerg vs zerg is boring it just finishes with zergling then mutalisk
@L4unchp4d just 2 fucking units in z v z, zergling and mutalisk

Lol,
Why ? since when is it forbidden to play with your feet? Is there a rule ? NO
Get over yourself, you sound more uptight then my high school girlfriend, this isn't the Olympics, dudes just having a bit of fun.
