The guy in the chat pointing out how Soma was playing the role of Kerrigan in broodwar, sowing discord among the terrans and protosses, lol

Next tourney, make BB the 3player map. Use the extra base as incentive for aggression.

0:59 "But do expect this game to go a lot quicker than the last two" me seeing that the video is 39 minutes long "somethings wrong I can feel it."

its interesting how in FFA, chat is actually part of the objective strategy of the game

The "CUBAN RECALL CRISIS" in the chat killed me.

The amount of diplomacy going on in the chat was crazy. I wish I could understand half of it.

I like how the last time on Blood bath, the prediction was also "this will be shortest map of the series" and it just never works out that way haha. Too risky to be the first to attack someone

Soma is definitely 500iq fully expected him to get stomped first

I love that ending. Light: get this Soma: What? Light: gg

This series has showed me the beautiful truth: that shit talking in the SC in-game chat is something that connects all of us, no matter where we are in the world. I didn't have to see the translations or be fluent in Korean to know trolling when I see it 😏🤭

LMAO Dan remembers how many minerals are at the EXPOS ON FREAKIN BLOODBATH LOLLLLL - I think everyone played this map with their little brother to score at least one victory in BW. I remember playing an ultra-long game where my brother had a buncha dark archons and no clue how to use them, while I killed him with 0/0 marines. Weird times.

Bloodbath is the most defensive map, it always was. Problem is when you are attacking someone, you open yourself to be flanked by others, so you are incentivized to not attack.

I submit the best thing you could do is change the tournament rule as follows: it's single player elimination IFF you have not won a game. Right now, there is no incentive to be #1. Whoever "loses" the first map is NOT eliminated immediately; he would then have to be #1 in the next game to stay alive. All subsequent games therefore have an incentive to be not the loser, but also to be the winner.

"Why are the Zerg players so smart?" Kinda have to be. Unless you're a macro monster.

I've just discovered this ffa and its hilarious, I'm loving it! Soma really impressed me with this hidden army

In this game artosis was literally a guy in the chat giving unsolicited advice to players infinitely better than him

Love this content artosis!

if shuttel sees replay xD he thought light had MUCH more XDDD

I wish Flash would do a Free For All too.

Thanks for all involved for giving us these fun matches. Take well tuned pros and throw them into garbage maps and see what they think is going to work there.

What The Fuck, that ending was insane

Arbiters hitting each other with stasis uncontested, just what I expected on this map.

It makes sense that the map plays out like this. For 2 main reasons: Pros are competitive and want to win. And pros are smart. What is the point of any attack? To get advantage. To win. There are no expansions to claim here, and any attack only has the potential to give advantage against one other player out of 3, and also increases your own vulnerability. As well as that, unless your attack is flawless and you lose no units, you are now at a disadvantage against the other 2 players, who didn't lose anything. The game could've been fast if one player tried to get an early kill for the extra base, and then the text chat would start a war over it. But that didn't happen so there's limited reasons to make a move.

Been playing starcraft for 20plus years Blood bath was always one of my favorites

I remember playing this one on my first game ever on BattleNet. Musta been y 2000. Died instantly to a drone rush bc I didnt know you could even do that lol

Awesome game - great ending! Gave me PTSD flashbacks to that map too!

A lot quicker than the last two? You should know by now that this map either goes blitz or trench and if no one wants to kamikaze for a potential knockout then it's going to be trenches. Because you have too much incentive on it, and it actually is fairly defensible.

no one, not a single soul, thought zerg was going to win that.

IT'S COMING HOME, IT'S COMMING HOME, IT'S COMMING HOME TO CHAR!!!

9001 IQ Zerg

that was a crazy game!

No spoilers, but I was really hoping when it got down to 3 it would be one of each race.

I love that they can just lean their heads over and check what their opponents are doing lol

Total recall was discovered wayyyyyy back like 2-3 years ago. You make a worker mine and as it passes the army you make it patrol and you patrol other units on top of each other.

I love how diplomatic they all are 😂😂

Early tap out by shuttle. He still had a chance

Only Zerg, only winner.

Arty looks so cute with his wrist bands.

Is the finals for the 1v1 going to be on Fastest Money lol?

Soma is the true Zerg overmind

Not sure how feasible it is with different tile sets but it would be nice to have players keep their color throughout all of the matches in an event like this. Great games regardless!

Ah, a personal favourite terrible map

LETS GO ZERG!!! LETS GO!!!

I love it! I can watch this for an hour without any fight and still have a lot of fun. I just don't like that they do not care who wins the map after the first one dies, that makes it kinda weird :/

Keep Blood Bath, but introduce the rule of "attack clockwise, defend anti-clockwise" and presto.

"Do expect this one to go a lot quicker than the last two." ::eyes 39:23 video length::

You can hit the whole map with a siege tank in the middle.

So funny they didn’t attack each other forever

how is snow not in this

BB is just a classic

i hope game 5 is on that map that is jsut 80% minerals

Damn good game

Wow Soma was genius on this game

These are fucking hilarious

seems like once mini was eliminated everyone was trying to lose in order to not win and get ganged up on the next game lol. like shuttle randomly GGing out of the blue and then light at the end kinda just throwing his army dumbly at soma. idk looked like some big throws, is there no incentive to win a map at all?

Soma is the future.

Fucking crazy game

Why did shuttle GG???

Shine was eliminated by shine?

2:50, see 3000!

You have to rethink how you use term on the map😅

Terran is insanely op on blood bath:P

I think I just became a fan of the winner for surviving thus far. That said, I think the players are planning to distribute the prize between them, so I bet the winner gets eliminated next.

if people played only to win and not not to lose, the map would play differently

@1:02 This game took twice as long as the previous one, lol

For someone who lived in Korea a long time...you would think he would understand how KR plays.....super slow and methodical.

No rush 20

What's with the intro pictures? Why'd they use the same kid for all the players? Don't they have headshots or something?

the guys in the chat are so funny. sad i cant be one of them often, bec living in eu Sadge

4 pro players troll Arty for 40 minutes : The game.

Mini died to a slow and steady Terran push. They should have tried instead to be offensive.

bloodbath my ass lol more like slightly redened maxipad. Soma is a genius though so fun game regardless

1 minute into the match: Do expect this game to go a LOT quicker than the last show. 39 minute video? Wtf?

*2 arbiters cast stasis on each other* That's it boys. SC is a solved game. We're done.

Mind Control would have raped in this game

You just DON'T get it ... Every one who rush are noobs - THIS is how you play this map on Profesional level xD

Can you not move your screen too fast or too constantly? I can see more stuff on the screen if you stabilize a bit rather than keep moving the screen too much all the time. Great cast nevertheless!!!

Flash would of BBS'd them all

Gg

let's fucking go!

Chat's pretty entertaining if you can read Korean

BUFF ZERG! NERF TERRAN!

This is the worst game I've ever seen. Literally nothing went on.

FACK

Jesus do Korean players ever stop typing, how do they macro whilst reciting war and peace like that?

The politics in chat be like

One of the weaker games so far. Everyone just sat back and let Terran build up..didn't even try killing another player just slowly waited to die ;/

you can litteraly cover 80% of the map with a zoomed out camera, yet you are missing 99% of the engagements. :D :D so funny. But please stop scrolling like that I am getting sea-sick

On se fait un peu chier, non ? il ne se passe pas grand chose comme coups malins et fumants

I realy like ur channel but damn if this wasnt the worst game iv ever watched...

Attacking player becomes vulnerable to the rest all players, especially when they communicate each other. So normally WHITE must have been attacked by TEAL and YELLOW simultaneously in the center......But the goal of this game was specific -- let other win, just dont die the first. Such a strange incentive stimulates players to choose next sacrifice by behind-the scenes' agreement. Kinda j(eeee)wish design.

what a waste of time

Artosis, Blood Bath is for noobs. Play Meatgrinder or GTFO. 8 player map, 96x96. Two chokes per base. One island expo in the middle. Git gud scrub.
