On kids these days calling Ultras Ullis Koreans have a tendency to abbreviate long or multiple word expressions by using the first syllables of each word, because a letter in Korean is a few vowels and consonants put together. For example we call a digital camera a "deeca". This kind of abbreviation gained popularity after the internet boom of the early 2000s(part of which starcraft had helped to bring) But since SC came out before that, the abbreviations us old geezers used to use were similar to the English speaking world. Ultralisks were ultras and hydralisks were heedras. But to a younger generation that is used to the "first syllable" system calling ultralisks ullis might make more sense. I once saw someone mention a "Sa Ve" and didn't realize he was talking about a Science vessel. But why none of the kids call mutalisks mulis is a mystery.

there's something so satisfying about modern brood war games, I love sc2 just as much but I just love how spread out and complex the games are, so much roaming and so many different unit groups doing stuff. It fills my small brain with awe.

@Materialist39 Ай бұрын

I think of the 6, ZvP is the most “starcraft 2-like” of the brood war matchups, and I mean that in the best possible way. There’s very dynamic timings and it lends it self towards big macro game battles with lots of options for tech and composition switches.

That game 3 was ridiculously epic. Snow's Reavers are just unfair, man. If he had caught the fact that he wasn't mining gas from 7 o'clock I don't think he would have lost the positional advantage and could have retained 9 o'clock. He microed out of his mind but that one blunder costed him the game.

@EB-bl6cc Ай бұрын

snow definitely made a few mistakes beyond that, he could have pushed 9 oclock wayy earlier but he didn't realize how much had been pulled from that entrenched position to defend the island. That game definitely felt unfair, he basically outplayed soulkey for 90% of the game but because soulkey was able to claim so many more bases early on it didn't matter that snow was grossly more efficient. I'm also not sure some kind of quick snipe on the nydus followed by throwing some stuff at the island wouldn't have been possible at some point, but then again I'm not the pro here, maybe it would have been too cost inefficient to try that. Overall in the series it felt like snow consistently had the better micro of the 2 players throughout, but soulkey eventually was making better decisions/mindgames, especially in the 2nd half of the series. A couple of those games he won were absolutely on razor's edge though. Series could have easily been 4-2 in the other direction.

@seraphimconcordant Ай бұрын

@@EB-bl6cc The problem with diving on the nydus is that soulkey could always have a ton ready to pop out at any moment, and snow has no way to defend against scourge.

While Snow micro is highest level Protoss units is simply unfair against Zerg main composition. Snow made a mistake with gas but at the same time Soulkey made a mistake not going Great spire.

@ntr86 Ай бұрын

Same here. I feel like Soulkey stolen this win from sn0w, it just feels dirty. His wins in G3 and G4 were not deserved, after G3 he was looking like he lost. Sn0w played better, lost due some stupid mistakes. It weren't Soulkey wins, it were Sn0w losts. And after that, Soulkey knew he won't win late games with Sn0w, so he just turned to rushes and all-ins. After G5 I hoped Sn0w would notice this, and would play G6 extremely carefully in early game. Unfortunelly he did not.

Game 3 was incredible and that's devastating for Snow to lose that kind of game where he played that good and still lost by such a narrow margin. After game 4 you can see that Snow was just spent but it's still his best effort that he's put up against Zerg in ASL so we'll see if this crushes him or if he can bounce back in the future

Spoilers below: Some people here seem adamant that Soulkey won via imbalanced cheese rushes. I'm 4 games in so far (after obviously being spoiled) and so far: G1 - Snow cheese rushed Soulkey, Soulkey defended and tried to countercheese, losing the game. G2 - Soulkey tried a rush/bust, failed and lost. G3 - long macro game won by Soulkey G4 - Soulkey does a rush and fails, Snow answers with an unusual two robo push and fails, rebuilds for another push and nearly succeeds, but overextends and ends up losing his units. I mean, I am not a knowledgeable Brood War fan at all, but even if Soulkey wins games 5 and 6 with cheese imba rushes, I still can't fathom how people can say he won purely due to Zerg rushes being unbalanced.
