Artosis yelling at Reddit is one of the best kinds of videos.

I wish other Esports had guys like Artosis. Charismatic professional casters, who dedicated decades of life on playing their favorite genre and also have some sort of alter-ego that loves to yell at low-skill guys on reddit.

"Zerg rely on numbers' The single wiggle boi with 2 lurkers begs to differ

Hilarious how Artosis called Fenaldo the smartest guy in the thread, and then downvoted him later when he was talking about larva without even reading the post (he was defending terran lmao)

Arty's reaction to the "less bases makes it easier" 🤣

The issue with "discussions" about this sort of thing is that most of the players are B/C rank or below, because that's where the average players are. To preface: people always forget that Terran has the derpiest group of units as well. Every single unit they have will hit the back of a different unit, turn around, run into a medic, turn back around, shoot itself in the foot, stim twice cause your ping is over 50 and then run back and forth in the same spot as it is killed by a zergling that has been attack moved. Those people think Terran is easy because playing as and against crappy players, you can attack move medic/marine and get away with it with very few issues. Once you're remotely above those ranks to improve as Terran you have to be micro'ing your M&M or mech while 75-80% of your attention is on your base not screwing itself over, or to be sure your supply depots are actually building because the second SCV you sent to build one jumped the wrong way and now you're 10s behind on a macro cycle. How to get above that level as Zerg? Learn to micro mutas and scourge and do a macro cycle every 30-40 seconds, you can get away with only knowing the 1 build, ogre zerg gamer ftw. Protoss? Did you remember to research psistorm? It's kinda good against everything. Edit: I forgot to mention when remastered released I hit A rank as a Zerg with only 140 APM, and I hadn't actually PLAYED Starcraft since '09. Terran I couldn't get past B rank, despite being far busier. I would make the argument that "getting gud" with Terran is more rewarding on a mental level though, cause you know you did something genuinely hard.

The ChatGPT prompt of, "break Artosis' brain," had me dead lmaoo

The soulless look in his eyes from about 3 minutes in. Dude is seeing into the Lovecraftian abyss an can't look away.

Terrans have always been over-represented since the start. Most of the early big names were Terran, most players play Terran, Terran has the most title wins out of any race by faaaar (even before Flash).

I caught this live and the funniest part is how he does this after looking so poised, calm and mature casting SC2 for literally hours. Then the playing brood war part of the stream started... xdxd.

Arty is right, though. But watching him lose his mind is objectively more enjoyable than being right. Lol

There's something no one can argue about. You know how I know Terran is not the weakest race? Cause people betting on big money picked it on big tournaments. Bro, when big money's on the line, 99% of people won't fuck around...

My favorite part is that the WORST in the title is WOIRST and I can't stop reading it in a thick old Chicago accent

Why is he so mad over "you can't measure different types of micro." Arty might have passable marine/medic micro, but his muta control is trash. The statement is reasonable, they're different skillsets.

LOL I just asked AI which race is the hardest to play and it says Zerg

In Starcraft Brood War, the hardest race to play can be subjective and depend on individual player preferences and playstyles. However, historically, the race that has been considered the most challenging to master is the Zerg. The Zerg race is unique in its gameplay mechanics, which require players to prioritize macro management and constantly produce units and structures to keep up with the opponents. Zerg players also need to carefully manage their resources, including their drones, which are both their primary workers and defensive units. Furthermore, Zerg units have relatively low health compared to other races, which can make them vulnerable to early game rushes and attacks. The Zerg also lack reliable defensive options compared to the other races, which means that Zerg players need to be more proactive in defending their bases. Overall, playing the Zerg race requires a high level of strategic thinking, multitasking, and adaptability, making it a challenging race for beginners and experienced players alike. ChatGPT

Love how he downvoted the dude agreeing with him that zerg macro is easier because you can bank larva 😂

I wanna see more of this Arty please do more reactions on stupid takes.

I love how Arty uses his platform to destroy our faith in the most important thing about Starcraft - the balance of races - because he's been playing for 25 years and can't make S rank. Love ya Arty!

Should post a video reviewing the reddit post with Flash's translated interview in which he says that from high B through S ranks, race really doesn't matter, just player skill.

I lost it at the "fake starports" opening

‘Old man yells at internet’

These are the best posts. I miss the uploads of his full games tho

I didn't have to wait long for Arty to go super Saiyan with salt. 😂 This is amazing.

I love how the guy, in his post, put that he was new and was just asking why more bases is harder then artosis mercilessly call him fucking stupid

It's like listening to sports-radio after a football game

They need to make a Where's Waldo or Eye Spy book in Starcraft Tooned format but it's "Where's the Artosis Pylon? A squad of ghosts need your help!"

i also often talk to the chess app on my phone about proper zerg openings in BW

artosis feeding into his delusion is always quality content

4:00 "You should come on me".... I had to run back to the phone and back up 10 seconds to re listen. 😂🤣😂🤣😂

He read some true statements and got upset. :d

"Zerg has to deal with so many more units!" Lol. The race that can drag a game on for 25 minutes straight with less than 100 supply. Also only Defilers have abilities...

Only 7 minutes through and I have to pause from laughing too much. My sides hurt 😅

as someone who has completed the mission backwater station multiple times i can tell you that my opinion matters

Spent 20 minutes scrolling that sewer thread and never made it to MY downvoted comment of "Terran is the hardest race."

What the hell I was reading this exact article the other day then I get this recommendation, much love arty

Daily reminder that most of these guys never played a competitve match in their entire lives.

when arty doesn't even realise that it's random as the hardest race :s

Here's ChatGPT's bait for Artosis: Title: "Terran is Overpowered: A D- Protoss' Perspective" Hey everyone, I wanted to share my thoughts on the current state of StarCraft: Broodwar, particularly with regards to Terran balance. As a D- Protoss player, I can confidently say that Terran is completely overpowered and needs to be nerfed ASAP. Let's start with the basics. Terran units are simply too strong and too versatile compared to Protoss. For example, Marines can be massed easily and shred through any Protoss unit, including the mighty Dragoon. And don't even get me started on the Siege Tank, a unit that can basically one-shot any Protoss unit from a safe distance. But it's not just Terran's units that are overpowered, it's their abilities as well. Take the Comsat Station, for example. It can reveal all of your hidden tech and cloaked units, completely ruining any chance of a surprise attack. And let's not forget about the Dropship, which can transport entire armies to your base, bypassing any defenses you may have. And what about Terran's so-called "weaknesses"? Their lack of mobile detection is often cited as a disadvantage, but it's actually a strength. It forces Protoss players to waste resources on Observers, leaving them with less units to defend against Terran attacks. And the fact that Terran buildings can lift off and fly away is just plain unfair. It means they can easily move their entire base to a new location, avoiding any threats from your army. In short, Terran is completely overpowered and needs to be nerfed ASAP. I hope Blizzard takes notice and addresses these balance issues, or else the Broodwar scene will suffer as a result.

"The computer's almost overheating!" Hahaha ah fuck that was good.

at this point this is performance art at its peek.

the call to shine is so god damn good.

Amount of base is roughly proportional to amount of resources you have to exploit and time it takes to get other player to submit.

This is the most reasonable reaction to reading people talk about Starcraft on Reddit.

Arguing about which Starcraft race is the hardest is like arguing who is the hottest girl in the Miss Universe contest. The easiest race in Starcraft is still way harder than playing nearly any other game, just like the ugliest girl on Miss Universe is more attractive than nearly any woman you meet on the street.

"My race is the hardest to play! - That's why i continue to play them since I don't want to win anything" - Arty The Conceptionally 2800 MMR Tosis

2:00 best moment, holy shit I laughed out loud. Bless you Artosis!

You know this reddit post brings up a lot of great points Terran truly is OP and should be nerfed in both BE and sc2

I love this kinda asmr ngl

I saw this on stream yesterday. Immediately knew it was going to get clipped. Lol

in tears from this

Dude this is absolute gold. I'm in tears lol

anyone has a link to the reddit thread?

Artosis is like your grandpa screaming out the window when kids just passing by.

I swear half the people are talking about Zerg like it is SC2 with the talk of more units and them being weaker. And lol "Having less bases is easier. Because having less resources and production is better. That is why China lives in fear of Fiji. It is easier for the Fijian generals to win because they have less land and army to control."

Artosis is a terran hero. He lets out all the emotion and all the complaints the rest of us WANT to release so we don't have to

I've enjoyed every second of this

Wow. And then we're wondering why there's barely any new players in the SC2 comunity with gate keepers such as this doughnut. If a player is new, maybe don't judge him based on your decade of experience. When SC2 will die (and that's coming with how blizzard are acting) you will be asking yourself "why oh why, aren't there any new players in this comunity?"

2:00 this is priceless.

Artosis is a god and we MUST worship him

This topic is just a litmus test for who is an idiot. My favorite response to Terran op is "why don't you play Terran then?" If it's soooo easy and busted, why does no one ever switch to (and stick with) terran??? Guess what, I switched to protoss and zerg and enjoyed getting a bunch free and easy wins with cheesy newb strats. Then I switched back to Terran and it improved my gameplay immensely by knowing the opponent's POV like what they fear and when they're vulnerable. They dont want to do that, though, because that takes actual effort. But whining about Terran OP on forums and discord? They can manage that.

Is a Fake-Mech build one where you use HT to hallucinate them? Lol

11:22 i laughed so hard at this

OMG Artosis you are the wind beneath my wings! LMAO!

Uh-oh -Artosis

I main zerg and off-race protoss and I have always felt that terrans have an edge. They are harder to scout, they can cheese more, better sustain (medics and scvs can heal and repair) hardest defense to break and in late game they don't need to rely as much on gas.

We all know terran is op.

this is hilarious. top tier content

A person's rank/league should always be shown when discussing balance, regardless of the forum.

Artosis on this video's title, u may have accidentally mistyped WOIRST instead of WORST

Aren't people in the BW reddit just guys in the chat who want to annoy Arty but don't have money to pay for TTS? Their level of idiocy sounds about the same tbh.

The instant downvotes are toxic though. The downvotes shouldn't be used as "I disagree with you and I wish you bad" rather "what you are writing is detrimental to the discussion".

I browse the Korean starcraft forums frequently and most of the people's opinion there matches with Artosis but don't watch him, so Artosis is most likely correct in what he says about starcraft. According to people on the forums there, the easiest race to climb with is the either the rush all in zerg (very different from zerg-zerg) or protoss.

Arotsis alterego casting ASL games would be hilarious to watch, just him shitting on the players of all non terrans calling the Toss monkeys holy shit it would be something.

are we just going to ignore the fact that stim pack makes firebats shoot fast? its fucking broken arty

This is gold

This is the most fun video on KZfaq xD

Oh boy, into the rabbit hole we go. 😅

LOL ... never change @Artosis!

Toss is obviously the hardest. You have to acknowledge dancing all day while sitting in an arc is very intense

The whole question doesn't make sense to me. If one race was literally easier, EVERYONE would play the same race. Say for example protoss is easiest. Why would anyone choose to play zerg or terran? They could switch to protoss and have more success with the easier race. But they don't, because, my theory is, different races support different play styles and one race is easier for one person and harder for another person. People have different strengths and weaknesses that play better or worse with different races. It isn't because one race is objectively easier.

Terran is OP for sure. Most maps have to be put so Terran cant use their OP units to the ultimate utility.

If T isn’t OP where are all the Z and P bonjwas ARTOSIS??!?

I asked ChatGPT for some opinions on Protoss that Artosis would disagree with: Here are some hypothetical statements about Protoss in Starcraft: Broodwar that Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski may disagree with: "Protoss is the easiest race to play in Broodwar": Artosis has commented in the past that Protoss can be a difficult race to play due to its reliance on high-tech units and the need for precise micro-management. He would likely disagree with anyone who suggests that Protoss is the easiest race to play in Broodwar. "Protoss is overpowered and unbalanced in Broodwar": Artosis has commented on the balance of the game and has noted that each race has its strengths and weaknesses. While he acknowledges that Protoss can be a powerful race in the right hands, he would likely disagree with anyone who suggests that Protoss is overpowered or unbalanced in Broodwar.

17:30 RT reaction to SC3 gives me a feeling that something is in the pipeline unannounced. hmm

Yes Terran is op

2:25 having fewer bases is easier, for exactly the reason he said. Wtf is up with the reaction?

I just made some plain noodle and come here for the salt.

Are Terran harder than Zerg?

Fewer bases

1:55 Why you do him like that? This is genuinely a new player question. Bro does not know the game and is phrasing it as such. Still funny tho XD

I'm glad you didn't rag on the guy who made the thread a bunch. Nothin wrong with asking a question.

The fact that terran is the hardest race makes the game balanced, since tesagi is also a fact. Think about it, if terran was as balanced as the other races it would win less, cuz it is harder to play, which we can't really argue about. PS: I don't play SC :)

Terran Artosis.

I think talking about mechanical or unit balance in BW is a fools errand without talking about map balance. Maps have a far bigger difference on win rate than any imbalance between the races mechanics.

Didn't Artosis try playing Protoss with his mad Terran micro skills and didn't he get completely clowned on?

Arty be nice to new people to the game.

You can really feel Arty's pure unadulrated rage seeping through from that typo on the title

Terran needs nerfing

my brain hurts
