"Literally, it doesn't take anything to make a bunch of lings and try to attack-move through a wall... except a blatant disregard for win rates." 😂

The game between Saber and Ruin had me on the edge of my seat until the very end. What an incredible game and what an incredible cast. Thank you arty

Still loving these longer videos! It's just very neat and satisfying to have the whole group done in one.

That last match just made my day. One of the best games. That comeback was insane!! Ruin is the man. Thank you for the amazing casts as always, Arty!!!

That first game pissed Arty off. He's thinking "I ladder all day and lings never donate themselves like this to MEEEE!!!!"

bro that last game tho CRAZY

This last game is indeed the best game of Ro 32 in CNSL.❤

An organ being the same thing as a piano is like a car being the same thing as a horse.

"Stormy boi" xd I've never heard anyone call the high templars that. Love it

Amazing cast Dan, love you constant enthausiasm for every game. You are one of the two reasons i keep watching broodwar :D

Much love as always Dan

amazing games. love, love, love, love sc. been following sc since 2005. BEST GAME EVER. and the commentary is excellent.

That Saber vs. Ruin match was a nail biter. Fantastic match.

Honestly, it’s a pity that last game is hidden at the end of such a long video…. I’d consider pulling that cast out and posting it separately…. It was SO good.

You know what to do boys, lets block dem spoilers

Um, actually... "Organ" is not "basically the same" as a piano. They look similar but are fundamentally different. The piano strikes strings inside when you press the buttons whereas the organ is a woodwind instrument. Organs are commonly found in old churches.

Thank you artosis for putting these videos out. Great commentary! I only watch your casts now

He's your friendly neighbourhood Hydra-Man.

lol that first game edit: wow, that last game.

1:09:04 yea we know artosis lol

arty dropping mad knowledge every single cast

Saber vs Ruin what a nostalgic game there, the classic PvZ on a macro game always ending on a containment or a protoss run over. It only miss the zerg drop to be a complete old 2010 game.

Amaaazing cast dude. I have never watched competitive e-sports but I played a lot of BW back in early 00s. Nostalgia factor brought me in, excellent matches and thorough commentary have kept me. Been tearing through your vids the last week or so! That last game was really, really cool. Great plays on both sides

That Saber Ruin game was next level. I could not even handle the amount of Reaver and psy storm drops.

"Magic is real and he posses it" 1:25:30 Dude I was rolling from that one liner!

Oh my wowzers that last game was insane. That high level PvZ is so amazing to watch. The amount of Skill from Ruin was insane. It's so difficult to play late game Protoss VS Zerg, especially going sair and reaver like that.

An organ is a wind instrument (wind through pipes), a piano is a percussion instrument (hammers hitting strings), both have keys for playing notes, but they are very different.

Whoah, that's a full robo, all the way. DOUBLE ROBO! Oh, my god.

for me you are the only youtube contect that is worth watch xd

Omg Ruin vs Saber is the most hectic game I have ever seen. Just UNREAL 😈

Loving the CNSL Series so far! Keep up the great work Arty!!!

Yo arty thx for keep making bw content. Everything about these videos has become so so much better the last few months. Please keep continuing to improve! As a personal addendum it would be awesome to see stuff besides just normal casting. Maybe something more technical or going in depth. Just like the videos about the ai, going into strategy/ tactics/ gametheory etc. i find that the most interesting. Anyways. Thx for the content

Damn that last game was epic, Artosis if you make a "highlights of 2024" or "highlights of the first half of 2024" video of matches, that last game definitely deserves to be in it.

Wow, what an amazing last game!

That saber + ruin game was fu%king insane!!

Crazy that YingZiYu refused to get lurkers.

Came back as artosis suggested to catch that last game. Great game and great casting!

thanks for all the content lately!!!

Ruin's training involves a lot of Space Invaders. He has seen many Templar fall because they storm where the Mutas are, rather than where they are going to be.

Always a pleasure to watch your casts. Yours and Tasteless' casts are the only ones I watch. (Edited for grammar mistake)

Lovin the casts Artosis!

I'm so excited to see the return of corsair reaver, my favorite PRotoss build.

Hydra ogre gamer. He had like 180 supply 45 drones and 140+ hydras. That is 11 control groups

A piano is playing SC1 Protoss: multi-tasking required, somewhat complex, but even new players can make a nice song. An organ is playing SC1 Terran: As if the 3 keyboards were not enough to handle all at once, you are simultaneously playing a giant keyboard with your feet…

Hey Arty, I just wanted to impart on you that an organ is a giant instrument that moves air through pipes, and a piano is an instrument with hammers hitting strings. They can be confused for each other because they both have a keyboard interface. inb4 "shut up nerd nobody cares lmao"

Piano and Organ are the same thing *Band Nerd Rage Intensifies

oh baby! that sabre v ruin game, that flank was just *chefs kiss* honestly I didn't even see how he got those units there, wasn't even an expo. I wonder if the muta flyby that got bopped so hard, resulted in not enough storm to handle the jumpscare hydra flank.

Awesome last game! I really like when you cast these as a series instead of one game at a time. I know the longer videos can be harder for people to fit in to their schedules, but I think seeing several games from a small group of players helps build up the drama and story for those of us who don't follow the SC pro scene outside of Artosis' casting. I definitely enjoyed the final match more thanks to having seen both players win and lose some games earlier in the video.

The difference between an organ and a piano is that, the organ uses wind and pipes, while the piano uses hammers and strings and a box.

What a fantastic final match!

What a final game! What a comeback he made. Amazing.

YingZiYu played his last game like he's playing pre-Broodwar X_X

I love the middle bases on citadel, they make for a really active game where you destroy a lot of bases

That last game was so sick!

It's interesting how Ruin will send his first scout just to the edge of the main base in PvZ, just far enough to see the creep but not far enough to be seen. We see it in multiple games in this video. It gives me the impression that he prioritizes his early-game macro more than other players do, so he doesn't want to force himself to micro the probe until he has the APM to do so. So he sits it on the edge of vision where the Zerg can't see it until he moves in for the full scout.

It's amazing how a 26 year old game can still be so exciting to watch!

LESS GO~~~~~~~~~~ Loving this CNSL stuff! Much appreciated Arty/CasterMuse

That last game was incredible!

1:03:27 That was a truly delightful match. An absolute highlight in this tournament.

Ruin....damn man, the guy's a machine

Saber vs Ruin was awesome!

Props to Ruin and Saber for a great last game!!!

Round of 32 ended with a real banger of a game. Would have liked to see them both advance, oh well.

ruin vs saber was just insane

Final game was such a banger

Maps are the heart and soul of RTS! Thank you mapmakers! (￣ー￣)ゞ

Last game was amazing

This last game was amazing, so different from everything else. But do player never go Disruption Web or Guardians?

White Terran has been my fav since I’ve been 7 - year 2000 don’t @ me

Holy balls that engage 22:58

How different would the game be if you could zoom out that far during the game you play? You think there would be different players at top rank?

oh damn, that last game :O

organs and pianos are, in fact, different things

What a crazy and beautiful comeback from ruin in the end

wow, the last game ... just wow

Sick last game

Haha "There is a stormy boy here." Sounds like a Orc unit from Warhammer 40 k :)

game 5 was epic, holey moley

I think most of us appreciates variety of the maps ... I would even like to see soem 3v3 or 4v4 matches thrown in for a bit of fun ... and a break from all the serious 1v1

spoilers are these games played one after another in this tournament ? i am wondering if organs firebat decision is based on his previous game, where those basically won him that game so the memory of using them with success was still an influence on his decission

Insane last game. And you make an excellent job when solocasting BUT the amount of harassing/attacks/drops you missed in the last game is alarming :O. Please don't take it the wrong way, you are already the best english caster ever but you ask for feedback so here it is: Sound is great, video is perfect and your take on the game is high quality because you put a lot of attention into it but that leads you into losing track of little things that are goin on on the mini map. You want a little more multitask and one eye on the minimap baby, just like when you are playing haha. That is the number one area in wich you could the castseven more right now if you'd allow me to be a little greedy. Excellent job overall, thanks for the games.

The Saber v Ruin game, wtf!? That Saber micro was some of the best I've seen, even the scourge micro. Eh!

Where anti spoiler wall??

"Protoss cannot win without Psi-Storm! Psi-Storm is the Meta!" "BEEP BO BEEP (Hold My Beer)" -Reaver Probably🤣

Saber really improved his game, kudos to him. Ruin is just incredible tho! Maybe not as technically perfect as Snow but much more inventive.

The Yingziyu player is certainly an oddball.

Second game, supply was roughly equal when ruin resigned. He had just killed sabers entire army. Did he overestimate what saber had left at that point or is it just zerg remaxes faster?

Rt love your casts but seriously, you need to pay more attention to the mini map. In the last game there was a moment when Saber was severely mismicroing his main army on the front of P base. There was a reason: by looking at the mini map, you could clearly assume there was a DT killing his 4th, so Z was busy coping with it. That was literally the turning point of the game and you missed it completely. You realized what happened only when you saw the dt with 9 kills about 5 minutes later, lol. Really don't mean to be harsh, I appreciate your work, this is just an easy thing to fix on your casts.

Ruin has his army ruin

Hey may I ask what does upgrading the shields for Protoss do? Doesn’t everything still deal true damage to it?

Last game is all i love about brood war the drama is real

Was that first game one of my replays?

Worst case for reaver on the defense seems to be that they blow up 4-6 hydras and then get rushed down and basically I'm starting to think toss players have a gentleman's agreement with zerg to defend with 6 cannons instead of one reaver

Fire

hot damn those scarabs

Has Piano ever faced off against Xylophone?

i see great potentiel in ruin style. Like Parting say you most play protoss like a pervert and he does with all those sneak attack

Great Zerg

Dang, I feel like Saber deserved to be in the 16 too!

cool beans
