Exactly it was months before covid, we were in such ignorance and bliss 😆 I saw this move from Classic live and I was absolutely blown away as well, it was one of the most epic things I saw in sc2
His last major tournament before he went he went to the military. We was the best Protoss in the world back then. I hope he reclaims that title one day.
I was in the audience too. This was by far the most memorable part of the finals. The game balance that patch was so laughably in favor of Zerg. Classic won that tournament in my mind, because he didn't just bring out this tactic, but he was also the only Protoss I saw move out aggressively against the swarm hosts that kept other players pinned in their bases. He was SO CLOSE to breaking that massively imbalanced tactic.
I was in the audience when this happened. The energy in the air when this build came out was unforgettable. This is how I like to remember the last Blizzcon finals ever. This was the way for Starcraft to die.
Don’t practice this…I mean practice using DT’s and blinks at some point because their used to snipe Terran PF’s in late game, but not this build you have more important skills to master in silver

@@glennjanot8128he didn’t have an overseer. He could have blinked on top of spore crawler. Or blink micro away from detection. Classic got really scared here
because zerg main base (hatchery) morphs into higher tiers which is how they unlock new buildings/tech, so if you kill it they have to start over and build a new hatchery and then morph it again before they can start making higher tier buildings/tech
I remember that people would do this in Starcraft BW a fair bit. I don't know why it seems so rare in SC2. There was even a bug in BW where you could get DTs to travel over cliffs too, but that was bug abuse cheating (and I think maybe required a hack too? I don't remember), and was never even really encountered in public games for that matter.
It's an expensive upgrade that takes longer to cool down than stalkers and takes longer to research too. so pretty poor for a DT blink rush strat. but if you like using them, it's worth having if only to escape detection or pursuit easier. It was originally viewed by most as a waste of resources on a unit that is plenty useful without the upgrade for its intended use, but as seen here, shenanigans can make it more potent. And Yeah they decided mother ships recalling armies into hostile bases was a bit strong and not fun gameplay to watch Protoss sneak a mothership around the map while turtling at home, so decided to move recall to the Nexus on a global cool down to let Protoss not die to Zergling run by or terran drop play when trying to maintain map pressure.
@@BOMBON187 because Zerg has won the last 7 of 8 world championship titles because they're overtuned as fuck. I'll be waiting for the ghost commentary following this.
I agree usually, but you have to give this props for how damn mindblowing it was at the time. Meanwhile fuck T and let them shove their bullshit up their ass.
@@elgar7252ghost OP definitely. Look at the ladder stats the pro scene is a sample size of dick point nothing balancing a game on a pro scene is like only polling the US Virgin Islands to see who will win in federal elections. They literally aren’t voting constituents (aka the pros aren’t your customers their advertisements) and more importantly there’s not way that population can be statistically significant. There’s also the simple fact that pros are whiny, selfish, and have no clue what makes a good game let alone a balanced one. There was an NA pro who got friggin observer speed nerfed cuz he misplaced a scan in a match lol The current patch notes look like the desperate negotiations between biased parties with the main goal it seems of trying to beat serral at the cost of gutting the Zerg population (last I checked) BUT serral just keeps adapting because he’s FLASH and no one ever said Terran was OP because Flash was so successful.

Was such an awesome swansong performance from Classic.
I totally lost my mind when i was watching this, back in the day.
I'm glad both are still playing.
Are you in mental asylum now?
Back in the day? This was literally months before COVID....oh...wait....
Exactly it was months before covid, we were in such ignorance and bliss 😆
I saw this move from Classic live and I was absolutely blown away as well, it was one of the most epic things I saw in sc2
This was like a couple years ago at most lol
His last major tournament before he went he went to the military. We was the best Protoss in the world back then. I hope he reclaims that title one day.
I kinda missed all the HOTS tournaments and first few years of LotV. I have to catch up.
Rogue is back 😊
Is sc2 still alive? I used to watch all the time in wol/hots days
@@systemicchaos3921 Still has a very high player base
@@systemicchaos3921almost dead game since free to play
He left a mark on the last Blizzcon SC2 ever, what a legend
I was in the crowd here. The last blizzcon SC2 finals.
I'm so jealous, may I ask did you go with friends? My friends dont particularly like this game so I was thinkin of going alone but I dunno.
That's amazing!!
@@craigcombesare u grill
@@lurkerinthedarkness excuse me?

It was so unexpected that Classic said that this was a one game tactic only
yeah right i made gm going pure dts for like 5 years, never did anything different
I was in the audience when this happened. The energy in the air when this build came out was unforgettable. This is how I like to remember the last Blizzcon finals ever. This was the way for Starcraft to die.
To make matters even more hilarious, this is the game that followed a successful cannon rush.
Here I am, silver protoss, didn't even know DTs can blink.
Don’t practice this…I mean practice using DT’s and blinks at some point because their used to snipe Terran PF’s in late game, but not this build you have more important skills to master in silver
Congrats you can make gold now 😂
@@backagain4896 bro i was not playing sc 2 for long time now i am diamand yesterday and i didnt know dts can blink wtfffffffffffffffffff
I knew zeratul could but not regular dts till recently
Even better previous game was one of most disgusting cannon rushes ever
And this is why everyone hates Protoss
Artosis sounded like he was having a mess in his pants
I mean, that's not that unusual, tbf
Just like mario
missed the chance to call it a "classic move"
I remember this like it was yesterday. I was watching this on the beach while on vacation lol
I’m just coming back into sc2 from legacy of the void. What have I missed for dts to get blink.
A nice play. Should have Missing Impossible theme song in the background to be honest.
good old days with crazy games
The only person did in high level. I got jaw drop when this happen
Oh no he called them adepts at the end
Sorry, what did he call them at the end?
@@alexanderschneider5954oops typo
He had a brain fart.
Reminds me of bw. Used to do zealot killenemy nexus. Very popular move toss vs toss
What generation gave DTs blink?
such bad crop.. cant even see whats going on.. horrible cuts
Sounds like Artosis is casting this
It's Artosis.
And Rotterdam
How does DT blink?
This is so normal today lol. This was mindblowing back in like 2016 lol.
Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.
Protoss: work smarter not harder.
lo ví en vivo... y fue lo mejor ❤ No sé si se volverá a ver a Protoss de este nivel
What game is this ?
Starcraft 2
Blink that range is so ridiculous. It could be just small
Dt with blink?
Ah yes, the good old classic Dark Templar attack.
Dt can blink?
Artosis with the epic reactions. Artosis is so amazing.
Who is the other caster?
How do dts blink?
8 workers and a lair isn't a massive amount of damage. I assume he was going chargelot/archon as a follow up?
In the context of this game it was absolutely massive, he couldn't get tech or upgrades to fight the archons
Wow ive never seen sneaky hoys be sbeaky this is amazing i wonder if more players even knew that DTs could stealth.
Classic won that tournament in my mind, because he didn't just bring out this tactic, but he was also the only Protoss I saw move out aggressively against the swarm hosts that kept other players pinned in their bases. He was SO CLOSE to breaking that massively imbalanced tactic.
The opponent face at that moment:
:(
I'll never forget this moment
Pulling up on the opps and just waiting, because he knows they aren't a threat.
классик - это ник?
As a Terran player seeing blink DT’s gives me a little PTSD lol! They were always so annoying to deal with
Why? A single scan can wipe these dts in seconds
Genuinely curious, do the casters not accidentally reveal a player's surprise/strats by announcing what they're seeing? Or are the players so focused on what they're doing that they don't even hear the casters?
This stopped rogue from being a 2 to world champion
Always remember ...the one rainbow pony mount in wow earned more money than SCII as a full game
Who won the game?
honestly it feels like he could have jumped on the spore and ended the game, that was the only detection
He literally played out an action movie in like a minute and a half
That strategy is why I make sure to make sure to keep banglings near main to handle that.
Classic SC2.... Does anyone know the announcers?
that's artosis and rotterdam
absolute beast move
I won a 20 min noon match no fighting Terran vs Zerg I had bc’s he had an entire upgraded ball and I just warped to his main and kill his 1 hive
Why did he blink out and recall? He could have killed all those zerglings
But he would have lost most of his DTs. As you could see in the damage they took, Rogue could see them
@@glennjanot8128he didn’t have an overseer. He could have blinked on top of spore crawler. Or blink micro away from detection. Classic got really scared here
@@ricardovalle960 But Rogue might have had spores in range, hence the DTs receiving damage during their attack on the Lair
Finally players are changing strategies
Remember to Blick up Tope!
Holy shit that was impressive.
Chintoss striked so good back then...
SC for life ❤
This is classic last complete before he go to be solider
Please do next Hero's proxy Nexus recall to enemy's base
Yeah i remember that... It was awesome!
old classic strategy of Russian toss Couguar
Amazing
Can some one explain why this it a big deal to the game. I very new and only star to watch professional game
because zerg main base (hatchery) morphs into higher tiers which is how they unlock new buildings/tech, so if you kill it they have to start over and build a new hatchery and then morph it again before they can start making higher tier buildings/tech
Classic became my favorite protoss after this game
Didnt know dt blinked lol
Тем временем Coguar на протяжении 10 лет:
what happened it dont get it
I still remember this game and practiced it
What a legendary moment
That was crazy
Classic Cougar move ;)
London bridge is falling down 😂
Incredible!

are we being trolled? DT can’t blink lol
Wait what DT can blink now? 😂
That's what I said when I started playing recently.
Dark Templar, a high damage invisible assassin... can blink now?
StarCraft's getting sillier and sillier lol
nice!
U don't need skill to play toss u just need dts
And the recall 😂
That was Classic
Goat
I've never seen so many DT's, well you clearly didn't play enough 2v2 in WoL
The same frase ever: Oh MY GOD, I NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE JAJAJAJA
Quizá siempre ve cosas nuevas por primera vez, lol
Adun Tassadou
classic Classic
He spanked Bz hard
Let's spend 1300 gas to kill 100 gas xd
whatever artosis says the play is gona be, its not gona be that haahah
👍🙌
engagement
Toss BS was the reason why I left SC2. Before blink DTs were real, blink DTs were memes for Toss BS.
This is how RTS should be played. Not fucking brain dead build orders and muscle memory
Dts having blink is stupid.
Get a transport
DTs can blink now? And I'm guessing the nexus let's you recall units globally? Lmao!
They've been able to blink for years and years now

@glenmcgillivray4707 you can still use motherships to recall units anywhere in the map..
Classic classic
As a zerg player, I suffer.
Exactly, I always see more buffs for Terrans and Protoss but never for Zerg.
