Artosis needs a sweater. Too many chills.

i love the level of commentary on these casts. Would not have had the slightest clue on the calibre of skill in these matches in terms of decision making

Cool games. The expert commentary really holds my interest. I fired up BW for the first time in 8+ years last night because of these casts!! I successfully 1v3d some computers… but it really put in to perspective what high apm allows. There is so much to remember while the action is going on. Its impressive that people don’t run up like 2k minerals while they are also running engagements. Thanks for this channel Artosis

praise be to the algorithm gods for always putting the new artosis cast video at the front of my timeline every morning

That first game was so unique. Proof that StarCraft will never die! Dewalt is a beast!!

These CSNL updates have gotten me back into watching brood war, thanks for casting these

ARTOSIS in the morning, while working out, while sleeping. MY GOAT

Back go the 00's, pvz meta was ultra-lings vs zealots-archons

I think the ultra-ling plays were super fun to watch! Seeing storms used on that kind of composition was so exciting, because the lings *can* dip out quickly if the zerg player micros in time, but if they don't do it instantly, so many lings just melt. Your excitement was certainly infectious, it's so awesome to see people still have so much love for this game.

Wow that's a Huge Ultralisk on the preview image. Those zealots will have an easy time surrounding him.

A few weeks ago it was Jaedong going Hydras vs Wraith harass. Now it's Ultras vs Protoss. What a time to be alive!

In that last match it was interesting to see how even though Dewalt lost a LOT of corsairs needlessly, he was still obviously going to win. He set himself up really well strategically.

I do love to see some pro Brood War games!!!!! Thank you for your amazing casts

Protoss do be loving their 'micro holes' =D

Great games! Both Xiao's fancy unorthodox builds and DeWalt's by the book execution were enjoyable to observe.

IMO this series, especially game 1, had a lot more edge of your seat action then the GSL Finals 😅 Never thought I would see the day of Zergling Ultra spam against Protoss since they have Reavers and Storm as hard counters! I am 37 and have been involved with Starcraft since the first game was released. Despite being an old game, it still delivers GREAT Matches and unforeseen strats to this day! TY RT For your dedication and knowledge on Starcraft BW and Keep up the great work. Peace and HF with your family as well ;P

Gotta say man, I love your enthusiasm in watching your casts. Brings me back 20 years when I used to discuss every aspect of a match to friends in college. Keep it up!

this new format really rocks! Plz keep on!

Loved the games! I especially enjoy when two huge armies clash together, a rare-ish sight in competitive games imo

Wow, what great matches! The ultra/ling was such a fresh take

Love seeing stuff that shakes up the meta. Your commentary really helps contextualize a lot of it too.

People are saying how strong Zerg is, but noone is taking about how you can remove 16 MILLION RESOURCES WITH JUST THREE ARCHON SHOTS! INSANE VALUE, CHILLS

Insane game 1, love to see ultras and gaurdians

20:45 Artosis giving a speech while Cracklings casually pick off 3 HT’s

The Ultra-ling was interesting, but I don't know how well it would have worked if Dewalt's economy didn't get crushed.

Very cool games! Been enjoying CNSL very much. Used to play a lot of Brood War back in college (just LAN parties with friends, mostly) and it's neat to see it played so well.

I just finished watching the ASL finals, which was solid. The finals can be amazing but there have been some let-downs over the years. This series was as fun to watch as some of the best moments of the ASL! Amazing games, amazing commentary. The only missing was tasteless telling you "no way he makes guardians" right before the greater spire.

Kinda classic, ultra-crackling. I love it

The CNSL is probably my favorite SC1 content to watch besides the ASL. Cant click these fast enough! I love how you group the games as well.

Series of the tournament so far! Impressive play from both players!

Sc2 cinematic was filmed in the first game

o damn, I wasn't expecting that this series would be this good

Excellent games. 1st game was the coolest game I've seen in a long time.

wow awsome games ! love the commentary, what an insight.

I think the reason Protoss went for + Armor was due to how his wall was shaped. When you get + Armor you're doing it to counter Hydras, not Lings. When he had to build a weird wall with the Forge out in the open like that at the start in order to block the Ling run by, he probably assumed that the Zerg would punish it by going 3 Hatch Hydra and break down the wall with relative ease. Of course that and the fact that he sniped the Hydra Den early on incentivized the Zerg to go for Lings with Carapace and gave us that excellent game. Crazy how a single moment in the game can create a cascading effect, changing the entire tech tree on both sides.

I'm reminded of *"InDepth" - Episode 1* when you break down Scarlet v Serral, when she mollywhopped him with ling-lurker by timing out her +1 carapace with his +1 missile attack. Then in another game, Raynor does a variation on ling-lurker, and iirc he went to ling-ultra at the end? Just fun to see some borrowing of ideas back and forth (or accidental evolution to similar ideas) but in different matchups, but same situation that some attack upgrade nullifies zerglings use because of the 2nd most efficient breakpoint upgrade: reducing 3 hits to 2 hits for kill (most efficient is 2 shots to 1 shot), and using carapace upgrade to uno reverse the circumstance to surprise use speedlings all the way to rushed hive cracklings.

First game was spectacular, love seeing the ultras have their moment. My question is, if he makes more zerglings and less ultras do you think that is more or less effective? Is it a larva limitation issue? I felt at times there were not enough zerglings.

Loving the casts

Awesome series. First 2 games were like…. Wow. GGs!

this was an amazing series

Awesome games with CNSL, especially nice waiting for the ASL finals to have that SC fix.

Lol at Dewalt running up with 3 zealots and 2 archon, killing the hydra den and running away. I love his weird and aggressive styles, especially the way he's constantly attacking multiple bases at once to get drones with his zealots. I want him to win this thing so bad!

Very interesting match up. Didn’t expect the Zerg player pulled out all the advanced units in the first game. The use of guardians interested me on both games.

Loved the Ultra-ling style, it made for a blast of a game to watch!

Great series!

That 1st match ... so great to see players stepping outside the "rules and boundaries" set by the top pro players. I mean this one looked better than ASL (looking at you S17 final). Looking forward to seeing a Chinese player making Ghosts viable.

This style of PvZ is so entertaining!! Not gonna spoil the techs, but damn I want to see more games like this for sure!!!!

What a series! The ultra-ling was really cool. I also wonder if one or two scout is worth against guardians. Also thanks for the casting!

Seems like Toss have an easier time dealing with Defilers than Terran. At least they got melee units in Dark Swarm. Plus that feedback on that defiler was sick. I think this is one of the funnest match ups I've watched so far in my short time watching SC1 casts instead of SC2.

Arty, are you constantly getting chills because gg is cold?

Artosis! keep up the great video's!

Man! This is the best game that has had the best well use of ultralisks! Even with those mistakes of letting some ultras back sometimes.

These are/were such GREAT games!!!!

artosis after 20 years playing starcraft: 'oh +1 base armor for dark archons, real shit?'

THis series was amazing, very nice indeed.

Doing Good Work Artosis.

HE JUST SITS THERE GIVING ME NERD CHILLS

Absolutely love how Dewalt is doing.

Amazing video!

Crazy Zerg 2: Electric Boogaloo This is the Shuai.

always been curious about ultra vs lategame reaver/storm, people say those things counter ultra but losing some health on an ultra seems better than having storm/scarab consistently exploding multiple hydras

10/10 match 100/10 commentary

16:45 the artosis chills😂

Man that game 1 was so cool, the mid game felt like wc3 without heroes!

8 million minerals, 8 million gas gone in 3 seconds

37:23 Artosis you missed XiaoShuai attempting a ninja base in the bottom left, but apparently it got killed by something from Dewalt (I'm assuming zealots)! GREAT games though!! Edit: just saw you mention it, my bad!

great series

Loved to see Ultras and Guardians vs Protoss. Seemed to me that Z needs to have air control and at least be on par of upgrades for it to work. Spoiler: The second game, way too many resources were spent teching to both Ultras and Guardians at the same time, and even with defilers it was impossible to hold.

The utlras/ling was awesome. It was almost like flashback many years ago.

So cool to see Zerg try new builds instead of seeing hydra vs storm for the millionth time

Loved seeing the Ultras. I don't see them much in ZvP.

I am not sure if i enjoy SC in general , or just Artosis as a caster in general ... like i would probably not have loved to watch the matches, if i would not have vibed with the caster ... so ignoring the game itself for a second and giving credits to Artosis and all the effort put into this and continuing to push ahead with the great casting !

Artosis mate I agree 100% that StarCraft is the best game that's for sure. The problem is that the new generations likes easy live, easy money, easy games too. You know most ppl even like watching games better than playing them. Sc is so difficult and that's the main reason new people wont start playing it. Some just play it because it kinda takes you back in time to your childhood :) Anyways the game is fun when you are pro and playing with other pros but it is also fun when you are noob playing other noobs :) I love playing and also watching. The way it goes StarCraft could become like the new chess (it is kinda similar anyways) and in the future people still play it and it comes with every new pc as "windows games" hahaha It is shame that nobody works on anything like books, movies, boardgames etc in sc universe. That would be awesome and more people would start playing as well. Thanks to you and everyone who is keeping it alive.

In the first game XiaoShuai started the Lurker Aspect research just before he saw +1 armor from Protoss, then Dewalt killed his Hydra Den and the moment Den died XiaoShuai started Queen Nest, he never remade Hydra Den, he made 0 hydralisks (and lurker) for the entire game. Something like 'you sacrificed a bounch of units to snipe my Hydra Den + you went for armor upgrades? oh yeah, it's ling ultra then'

I as a i was a protoss player when i did play actively broodwar, have encounter the mass crackling + ultralisk composition before. Its not very common since the hydra+lurker is the most efficient composition against protoss, partially becouse of the ability of bust and contains. It can be kind of op with 12+ ultra maxed in tech, but in this particular match, there where 2 big mistakes dewalt did. The first one was overextending into map while expanding clearly underrating his opponent hability to strike there. The second one was going into the right side of the map and try to attack the most defended place wich was the third of the zerg. And the guardian's blow on the natural was the last nail in the coffing for him. Im not saying im good enough to do it better tho, how plays is always with partial information and we see it all as spectators.

At the point where it got to the "bridge standoff" I'd have gone into mass scout, with some corsair support and also tech to arbiter. Zerg preventing you from moving across the bridge but also being unwilling to move across it themselves means it's a stalemate. Fast scouts can get past and harass drones. Arbiters if they get anywhere can recall zealots, dt's and reavers to bomb structures. Scout's are awful versus ultras, but they're... okayish against zerglings. They can only respond to the scouts through either scourge, or through starting hydras. It's verymuch a situation where protoss *needs* to get across the map and kill drones & overlords and slow down any expansions.

@18:20 sitting in an arc best strategy confirmed

Dude..did you accidentally turn on the a/c while you were watching the first game...so many chills.

Amazing games

29:14 - yea, Hydracount reduces from 5 to 10. You're getting OOOOOOOOOOOLD ARTY

Loved that first game the mass ultra lings was insane - guy was macroing his ass off!!

The Ultra Ling was very cool. I would compare it to Reaver for Toss in that it's not something you can go for right away because it's too easy to handle early in the game.

Guys, any tips for playing sc1 and not getting hurt wrists / hands? I work at the computer for day job, so I don't have much stamina

First match was insane lol

For the love of God can someone buy this man a space heater? He has chills every game.

Any chance you and tasteless can do these kind of casts?

While the top of the top players are great to watch when it comes to executing damn near perfect mechanics, I absolutely love seeing the innovation being utilized by players who aren't quite ASL shoe-ins.

It’s so chilly in here

Arty needs more sweaters for all the chills

I wonder if mind control could be an effective counter to guardians? You effectively force them to use a bunch of scourge, allowing just a couple corsairs to clear them.

49:15 I didn't know that "over-microing" could be a bad thing.

That Archon is the MVP of the whole damn set.

Yeahhhhh Dewalt my boy!!!

i am enjoying the CNSL

Great battles, especially the first one. God I miss Broodwar, so much better than SC2

Starcraft can be such a cruel game… 33:35 One mistake. Just one mistake turned a winning position into getting eliminated.

Game number 1 my fave match~!

Dark archons should be invisible - thoughts @artosis?

ggs

I always enjoy seeing new meta changes. Hydra vs protos every pro game gets boring. It’s like seeing wraiths, exciting!
