I can’t wrap my head around why leta decided to float his science facility to the frontline and lost control of his first few vessels….

That sneaky Leta's drop was completely unnoticed, that was devastating!

I just wanna say, that it's a real privilege to listen to you cast. I've seen you play and it's impressive, but your casting is next level. You might not be the best brood war player in the world (serious progress there though) but for me you're the best caster by a country mile.

Leta played out of his mind, both as in his micro was amazing, and his decisions were bizarre. His fully mixed unit comp really made this one a "box art" battle. I don't see many games where someone is fully producing out of Barracks, Factories, AND Starports.

Won't be unhappy, if the majority of your future content was tourneys of this type, great stuff!

One of the things that amazes me about pro players is their ability to pay attention to the mini map. On top of all that micro and insane APM's, it doesn't seem like they miss very much.

Bro you gotta keep a better eye on the minimap

Everybody gangsta until Defilers start crawling. That drop was sick, but late game Zerg looks unbeatable.

You can see 3 vessels got picked off at 22:15. That was a fun game. Good try by Leta.

That dude was a beast of a Terran. Man. Despite the counters to what he was trying to do.

Fantastic game and casting Arty! Although a bit painful missing the drops :P

Yeah go Zerg team! Now we just have to deal with our old enemy, the accursed protoss.

It's such a shame you missed so much action going on in this game - from Wraith harass to that drop in beast's main. Leta played really well, too bad he made a few mistakes in the mid game and never recovered from those.

The destruction of the zerg tech via drops was hillarious!

Great tournament format 👍

It is amazing Queen gets an upset against Wraiths, but not Beast. Well done!

Awesome strat

16 minutes in. Floating a barracks or E bay, yeah. Floating a scìence bay? Whèn it's your only one?!!

8:48 So Artosis is right in the ways that matter, but he's _technically_ wrong. Protoss shields and Zerg HP are always regenerating. However, if a Protoss unit has less than 1 shield, the shields are bypassed completely. So for instance, if a vulture hits a probe (no upgrades), it will reduce its shields from 20 to 0. Then one tick later, the shields will go up to 7/256, and the next tick to 14/256, etc. But Even if a probe has 255/256 shields, the vulture will still kill it in one hit by reducing its HP from 20 to 0, since the shields are bypassed if they are less than 1. This has the important consequence Artosis described for vultures vs. workers. But it is also the reason plasma shield upgrades aren't OP. If shields were checked on every single hit, even if the unit had just a fraction of a point, then the shield upgrades would be applied every single time, making them basically super-armor that works on everything.

23:36 Jeez, Plague just melts through Defensive Matrix, doesn't it. I don't think I've ever seen that before.

Alternative title: "Arty oversleeps and weaks up on char than Wraiths rescue him !!!"

First comment!! Btw this is MUCH better than what FP does.. no random rl BS no random rambling no missing critical engagement on the map because the caster was busy clicking a kakaru also ofc a much more professional perspective on things since Arty is also a pro himself

How do you deal with Defiler tech ? When they have Dark Swarm, zerg seems unbeatable

defiler good unit

I think firebats would help with damage under dark swarm and optical flare so the wraiths can continue to harass.

I would like to ask a basic question: How many drones are needed to optimally mine a main base and expansions? how many per patch of minerals?

One more thing, sometimes the thumbnail spoils part of the game, in this case "WRAITHS!" tells you that the forward rax, plus quick pool wouldn't result in a fast zerg win.

Just out of curiosity, and I know each player has their own gameplay, but what stopped beast from going hydra? Alot of the newer games I've watched is early zerg hydra. I watch ever video but have only played casual campaign like 20 years ago. interested in the strat

great games, trading blows

Leta plays like the game was intented

hes not missing shots zerg got 1 armor upgrade wtffffff

Mastering Terran is hard

jeez missed a huge drop on bot right rofl. look at your minimap more artosis!

In hindsight the Wraiths were quite meh, didn't really do much.

been noticing that the wins are noticeably tilted in favor of zerg players for the last few years or so. is it time for another rebalance?

I think this tournament has sloppy micro, at least on terran side. I don't even know what to write. Scan won previous tournament but immediately got eliminated? Leta throws science facilities at the enemies?

overpool not pool first

Artosis, it's pretty lazy of you not to go back and atleast recast that whole battle where you missed letas drop in main, and pretty much the last one too.

Missed two drops and some other good action on the map. You could do better than that Artosis!

How do you beat defilers?

Do 4 rax on butter
