    Reynor plays toss like a zerg. Out-expands his enemy at every turn and takes engagements from multiple angles at once. He also seems to be underestimated. A potent combination

      I love it. It's time Protoss players be serious and tried to win the grand titles more. I understand as a former sc2 Protoss player that Protoss somehows just entrances us into doing dumbshit stuff cos it's so shiny but some of us have to take the responsible. Go Reynor embrace Aiur!

    17:22 I've always held that Protoss has a higher ceiling than what the current pro's are capable of and I think this is one example of how Zerg forces players to stretch more mentally because no Zerg player would think attacking this position from less than two directions would be successful, but there are definitely Protoss players that would attempt to death ball it.

    • @alexsis1778
      @alexsis1778 2 года назад +3

      I think a big part of that is because of the mindset of a protoss unit is generally superior to a zerg unit 1v1. So protoss players often get in the habit of just plowing through while zerg players have to play the under dog and use asymmetrical warfare (hit and run) or surrounds to win battles. So when you combine that mindset with an individually superior unit you get a slaughter.

    10:15 Lowko reminds me of the movie Clue when they're trying to figure out how many shots the revolver has spent.
    Wadsworth: The game's up, Scarlet. There are no more bullets left in that gun.
    Miss Scarlet: Oh, come on, you don't think I'm gonna fall for that old trick?
    Wadsworth: It's not a trick. There was one shot at Mr. Boddy in the Study; two for the chandelier; two at the Lounge door and one for the singing telegram.
    Miss Scarlet: That's not six.
    Wadsworth: One plus two plus two plus one.
    Miss Scarlet: Uh-uh, there was only one shot that got the chandelier. That's one plus two plus *one* plus one.
    Wadsworth: Even if you were right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus *two* plus one plus one.
    Miss Scarlet: Okay, fine. One plus two plus one... Shut up! The point is, there is one bullet left in this gun and guess who's gonna get it!

    Why does the scouting probe, when in darks base, switch from mineral line to mineral line at around 1:19, whats the explanation for that? Sorry im new

    • @WoA596
      @WoA596 2 года назад

      If the probe is harvesting the minerals, the drone will try to move to another mineral, unless ordered to stay on that same one. If the probe keeps touching the minerals, Dark has to keep ordering his drones to stay still, otherwise they'll walk to another patch, causing another drone to move, and then another, etc. This throws off the rhythm, slightly slowing down their gathering speed. It doesn't make much difference but it can be annoying!

    If Dark added a few more spines and queens and kept leapfrogging them into the walloff I think he wins that. Or if not win, I mean, he gets the entire wall, many of the stalkers, and all for a few hundred more minerals.
    The toss is then further contained and lacking gas, for a hydra lurker transition, and reynor would still be on stalker immortal.
    Just because something is "cheese" doesn't mean it's not the best position to be in, why would you not add more spines and queens?
