These games felt like I was watching someone get bullied. The zealots showed up like a bunch of rowdy jocks and shoved the zerg into their lockers. Always nice to see base defences actually being used too.

21:10 "fk this"

Ok so this MC is the same MC that was in SC2, thanks for specifying that cause I have been wondering. Nice good to see him around in BW!

Yay clipart is back on thumbnails

CNSL coverage has just been so good. Kid was in over his head.

17:30 he made a Den and cancelled it then made the den again odd

Watching this after many years I realized that Artosis is very very good observer, on top of the game

Thank you for these brother. They really scratch the itch! Have an awesome rest of your week, R-T!

Man Kid got outclassed so hard here.

The boss toss is back baby

I think the protoss here was almost revolutionary. Quick legs zealots everywhere. Hitting before lurkers make piñata out of them. Also splitting mess so much with zerg they need to mass the hidras. Maybe to counter just keep on zerlings

Gap in skill was too huge, zerg wasn't ready yet for this kind of opponents.

The only good way to start the morning. Thank you for the cast, Artosis!

Nice to see MC demonstrate how unoptimized builds get pulled apart at high levels of play

I really like MC's style. He really pays attention to the details. I see tons of players allow the lings into the base but MC had it covered completely. Impressive play!

LOVE the hedged cannons at the nexus game 1 on citadel, so much more than the traditional placement like in game 2. assuming they reached wall for ling all-in, I still like them for hydra because unlike traditional forward placement at wall, by sacrificing the wall which will go down anyways, the farther back placement forces the hydras to kill wall first to hit warping cannons, whereas a forward cannon placement leaves them vulnerable to hydras just poking forward a little and picking them off over the wall. But more importantly was the aftereffect. The cannons zone the natural nexus and probes better, if the zerg doesnt commit to hydra bust, the flow of units leaving main and nat gets clogged by forward positioned cannons, no need to tear down cannons later to make way for army move out, also cannons cover the smaller more defensible choke between , main where units rally up and cannons off to side making 2 angles of attack for hitting zerg push. I think he had 1 cannon denied? maybe? I just really appreciate that MC wasn't afraid to make cannons earlier than necessary, and more than he absolutely needed, because they also present a threat, unlike turrets T_T. I wonder though if batteries, ala sc2, isn't one of the next optimizations, to really give those initial slow zlots staying power to push back hydras sniping in cannons. I honestly think protoss don't know how batteries work, or that they don't need to have units play tag on it, and can use RANGED, AoE, and (to my eyes) INSTANT Recharge, vs the 1 at a time manual charging that make units dock like mario bros...

Love ya arty!!

MC slipping that DT into the main at the end of game 1 was the killing blow.

This was the opposite of last series where it was still one sided but because one person played so well rather then one person playing so poorly

Damn those were some nice flanks!

That thumbnail made me laugh and I cant explain why it just looks goofy

Hot manlot action

I can't be the only person who likes before watch.

i swear mc zealots are twice as fast Dxracer that baws-j4p

I'm not a Starcfaft player, but one thing just boggles my mind, why zerg did not build at least one sunken colony at important bases?

Yeah he just tapped out there at the end he said this is enough

ggs

If you ain't bridging, if you ain't shitting your pants, if you ain't gooning, you ain't living brother, and it my first Artosis Cast on YT, usually I watch the live streams.

Nice

mc looks really good

wtff . put the red x already . . . .

12:00 gggggg

zealot good unit

cast us some july gaems

Damn this was a S rank just wooping an A rank it just wasnt fair

Dude can't even get his Hatch on time in 1st game, he has no business being in this tournament. At least he gg'ed quickly when he knew he was done.

he wasn't decisive enough to be aggressive here. you talk about decisive play and how you need to commit to aggression, but it was too low commitment. i look at players like soulkey when he decides to be aggro he completely shifts to attack mode.

First!

Pretty anticlimactic early gg's but kinda makes sense since he is so far behind :/

kid got schooled

Thinking gay

idk who the zerg was that went a bit heavy on sim city & static D, but i think kid could learn a thing or two from that zerg not to die like this... bro has some serious issues by shouting to the world "zealots come straight in"

zealot man op
