I don't know if I'm giving Flash too much credit but sometimes... it feels to me like he's trying to create opening game states to explore and see where the holes might be rather than playing to win.
I don't know if I would go that far with it, but bare minimum he's definitely trying to find solutions to meta-specific situations that he's less familiar with. I feel like he's already showing more diversity of play than 80% of pros right now.
@@2639theboss I commented something similar on a previous video. Instead of copying the meta builds and meta responses that other Terrans are doing, he is trying to catch up on the meta by trying things out himself.
think bisu messed up when he split his dragoons up. He had the idea to catch reinforcements but he needed the critical mass to fully break flash's position
Flash sensed his primary nemesis who could unseat him at #1 had left South Korea, and decided it would be worth this time to show his skill again. This nemesis's name? Artosis. No one can deny the coincidental timing...
Cannons on the high ground would cover the natural entrance pretty well, and they'd be much harder to break. Why do we almost never see cannons on cliffs overlooking the natural?
Not Happy? Wild games are sometimes the best games. Describing this game is a great example of why Flash is great.Even when he is out of shape he is still a wild gamer
what are u crazy? 1 base vs 1 base TvP we haven't seen for AGES this is freaking amazing and I'm very happy for the varieties! seems like flash is really experimenting here, all the games you casted have been him trying out different stuff trying to change the meta.
There are special moments in this Flash run, like when the first storm drop came out in game 2 vs dewalt and the critical moment in the scv tank attack in game 2 here, where it looks like he has another gear. That's a terrific sign for Artosis's dream of a full comeback.
People really seem to like the Flash videos and you're smart to keep giving it to them Arty. Keep the streak going! And give us some Flash vs. Snow next!
It does but it doesn't mean having higher source fps could'nt be beneficial. For example if you record 1080p gameplay and post it as 1080p it looks worse than if you record 4k gamepkay and upload it as 1080p. RUclips does a lot of compression and shenanigans (youtube 1080p is closer to real 720p than 1080p, youtube 4k is so far from 4k it's pathetic).
@@BoredLikeHelI This sounds implausible to me; if you record at a higher framerate, you're actually allotting less bits per frame than at a lower one, though there's a good chance even if the game is running at a higher framerate, Artosis's recording is still set to record at 60 anyway. What does trick the RUclips algo into giving you more bits is upscaling a 1080p video to 4k before uploading. While upscaling doesn't inherently improve quality, it causes RUclips to create higher resolution versions with higher bitrates, and the amount of extra bitrate it allots more than makes up for the inefficiency of the upscaling. It's silly that it can't just give 1080p videos the bitrate they need (apparently a premium feature?) but it's something you can do.
@@BoredLikeHelI Wouldn't this mean RUclips has to turn 100 fps into 60 fps? It really should be 120 fps or something that is divided evenly by 60, otherwise RUclips can't drop every other frame or every third frame, but have to decide to keep some frames and others to drop.
While Artosis set his monitor to 300hz, and it very well may be better for actual gameplay, for replay casting, it's worse. This video is considerably blurrier whenever the screen scrolls. Artosis, if you see this, please go back to your previous settings. Whatever you did made the video look worse.
Artosis, arguably the greatest commentator in the history of commentating. Man I watch plenty of different sports etc, and the commentators are always calling the action, saying the same thing every game, no ability to understand or more importantly PREDICT what is going to happen - i almost always mute it. It's analysis that makes for great commentary. (that and some flavour/colour from your inner rage)
thanks arty, please remember ti keep the sound volume up (music, sounds). that does make a big difference, at least for me. maybe others think the same
I liked that game! Was actually somewhat outside the box strategy with the dragoons splitting of to take preasure from the expansion base and the back amd forth, Unterredung to watch.
artosis when flash wins: "wow incredible how he does the impossible, lets pause the replay at the end and analyse for an additional 40 minutes" artosis when flash loeses: "yeah whatever, nobody saw that, lets go next".
I'm curious if that first marine/tank push with Flash on the final game here could have been executed better somehow in order to avoid all the back and forth after. I want to say yes, because it looks close. But also, that looks like quite a bit, so maybe he already did it the best one could do it?
Technical question. Are you casting anywhere other than RUclips? Your casts here are limited to 60fps. I don't know why you wouldn't simply capture at 60fps -- am I correct that you were saying you're recording at 300fps? We see in 60fps, might as well record and see what we see -- you'll be more certain of final output... and save on disk space big time.
I think the rush avoids any kind of micro or long game. I think his wrist in bad condition. Most of his games here are rushes, when did macro game, his micro was sloppy.
If this was sc1 vs sc2 we wouldn't even have to watch to know who wins....tasteless lost his mind without you artosis. Or maybe you were just carrying him the entire time......hmm 🤔
Hey Arty. I'm sorry to say but sometimes you talk a lot about nothing when there's actually very important stuff going on. In that first game, the obs first was absolutely crucial. You didn't catch that the obs made a bee-line to scout the production, and as soon as Bisu saw the 4 facts, he added 2 gateways which saved him the game.
you arent going to notice a difference past the cap of your monitor's refresh rate, and of course, youtube caps at 60 fps. And none of this is even mentioning the fact that you probably arent recording at 300 fps
Im Simple man. I see Flash i click. ive seen some other games of Flash vs Snow. he seems to be really struggling vs P. Flash is however. The greatest Starcraft chess player and i have no doubt he will crack the current Meta vs P
When you see him constantly lob tanks and marines with no medics at you …. Why would you continue to make goons instead of zealots? I know he made a few vultures, but then he stopped making them a LONG time ago
Flash does not learn the new meta. Flash brute forces his own meta. The greatest player of all time is throwing poop on the wall and seeing what sticks.
This channel has become FlashCasts, and I'm here for it. Please keep casting Flash games and I'll keep watching!
I'm a simple man, I see FLASH on the tittle, I click
actually as a viewer I'm pretty happy with these games
I don't know if I'm giving Flash too much credit but sometimes... it feels to me like he's trying to create opening game states to explore and see where the holes might be rather than playing to win.
THat's that impression I get from him as well
No youre right. Hes checking for market inefficiencies, underrated units and abilities in scenarios where maybe full value hasnt been unlocked yet.
I don't know if I would go that far with it, but bare minimum he's definitely trying to find solutions to meta-specific situations that he's less familiar with. I feel like he's already showing more diversity of play than 80% of pros right now.
I concur
@@2639theboss I commented something similar on a previous video. Instead of copying the meta builds and meta responses that other Terrans are doing, he is trying to catch up on the meta by trying things out himself.
How can one be unhappy with TWO FvP games in one video? Flash vs X is the one match-up I didn't know I'd love watching!!!
The second game is actually the best I've seen from flash since the beginning of the flash streak
Just some non stop face punching - man do i love it
think bisu messed up when he split his dragoons up. He had the idea to catch reinforcements but he needed the critical mass to fully break flash's position
Brutal
Not happy as a viewer? Arty, that second game was incredible to watch!
Scrappy and messy games are always a nice addition. It's interesting to see what decision making happens, and how the reaction plays out.
AHAHAHA!
Artosis "1 Tank is never going to win no matter how many SCV's you have repairing it
Me in real time "Yeah you say that but..."
Wait until we get flying SCVs that can repair tanks from above when SC3 rolls around
Repair drones would be pretty cool.
"Lets do another one", hell yeah! RT spoiling us with the double :D
You had to spoil right? 😂 stupid human
Spoiler block not doing its job, eh
At this point we are more likely to get a different Caster doing a Flash Game on this channel than having Artosis cast a non-flash Game.
Pretty cool 2nd game. Messy is interesting
I am become your shield against the foul spoilers
I don't watch your videos for the FPS. I watch to hear your commentary.
I watch solely for FPS, muting the video and covering up the rest of the screen. FPS army, rise up!
the video is likely rendered as 30 fps so it really doesnt change anything lol
Flash sensed his primary nemesis who could unseat him at #1 had left South Korea, and decided it would be worth this time to show his skill again. This nemesis's name? Artosis. No one can deny the coincidental timing...
He's even playing dumb against Snow for content.
Cannons on the high ground would cover the natural entrance pretty well, and they'd be much harder to break. Why do we almost never see cannons on cliffs overlooking the natural?
Please cast more of this, I am actually going to other channels to watch the Flash games. This is a gold rush bro! Cast them all!
Not Happy? Wild games are sometimes the best games. Describing this game is a great example of why Flash is great.Even when he is out of shape he is still a wild gamer
Flash is brutal, that last push and position hold was superhuman
what are u crazy? 1 base vs 1 base TvP we haven't seen for AGES
this is freaking amazing and I'm very happy for the varieties!
seems like flash is really experimenting here, all the games you casted have been him trying out different stuff trying to change the meta.

Felt like a sc2 game with how the workers are pulled and actually used for repairs
cant notice the change in fps. that second game was fun, thanks for the upload artorisos
Good StarCraft isn't something I'm gonna get tired of, no matter who's playing
People really seem to like the Flash videos and you're smart to keep giving it to them Arty. Keep the streak going! And give us some Flash vs. Snow next!
I was very happy with that 2nd game. Quite scrappy on both sides.
I really like how Flash repairs his probes.
That's why probe is the best unit in the game. Without probe's abilities, Protoss never wins a game
please give us an entire month of Flash games
Turns out workers are the real heroes. Flash learnt for g2 that what his push was missing was half his workers
RUclips caps at 60fps doesn't it? "1080p60"
Yes.
It does but it doesn't mean having higher source fps could'nt be beneficial.
For example if you record 1080p gameplay and post it as 1080p it looks worse than if you record 4k gamepkay and upload it as 1080p.

I can’t believe the one wounded marine rush didn’t kill him.
Bisu goon micro is so crispy
yeah when he first pulled out the mine snipe years ago people's jaws were dropping
LOVE THESE GAMES!!!
as a viewer that 2nd game was very entertaining, there are very little comebacks in Brood War and that was an insane comeback by Flash.
I loved that last game, so messy and scrappy! I like to see that mixed in with the other games that have perfect build orders and execution
Artosis. Please never apologize for posting TvP, or "videos" so to speak
I find higher than 120 fps no longer makes things seem more smooth to me but allows me to react faster. Total anecdote...
thanks arty, please remember ti keep the sound volume up (music, sounds). that does make a big difference, at least for me. maybe others think the same
That last game was hilarious
Oh no, Artosis. This viewer is very happy xD
coffeetosis is alive and strong keep it up!
Yayyyyyy❤ would like to see more bishop and scan!
Revolutionist ❤
I've seen so many games where Flash gets BTFO by probes.
I'm happy with it
More like FlashCasts, ammiright? Love getting to watch him get back into shape though, can't wait to see him in ASL again.
I liked that game! Was actually somewhat outside the box strategy with the dragoons splitting of to take preasure from the expansion base and the back amd forth, Unterredung to watch.
Second game was won by the gundams
Loved the second game
I never knew that probes were the counter to siege tanks!, this game just keeps amazing me xD
Oh snap😂
Welp; gotta wait for more lel
Hey guys, welcome back to FlashCasts!
I’m looking forward to when it looks like things finally click for flash in this meta
Any game Flash wins is a victory for me
Hopefully Artosis can keep this up until next April so we can get Flash vs Flash on April 1st.
21 day flash streak 🎉
I am in fact happy with that flash win :)
artosis when flash wins: "wow incredible how he does the impossible, lets pause the replay at the end and analyse for an additional 40 minutes"
artosis when flash loeses: "yeah whatever, nobody saw that, lets go next".
Flash would have seen that.
Second game was the craziest sc game I've ever watchd
Actually as a viewer I object, I like these all-in type games when it becomes a bit drawn out and isn’t won in 10 s
I'm curious if that first marine/tank push with Flash on the final game here could have been executed better somehow in order to avoid all the back and forth after. I want to say yes, because it looks close. But also, that looks like quite a bit, so maybe he already did it the best one could do it?
OMG,the 2nd game!
How do you increase your own FPS past 100?
Good Morning guys in the chat!
crazy
To be honest, the second game was really fun to watch, such a cool push
Hey there is nothing wrong with "winning ugly" at the top competitive level.
That’s what you get!!!
i love scrappy, messy games. gimme gimme
Second game was scary. I think Bisu pretty much had it held but Flash barely held on.
Happy to see flash put the games where a bit disappointing
I hope so.
Predicting an early hold into reaver drop
Brother zinwas so wrong
Flash's factory is about 25 seconds late due to the marine pressure in game 1. Not worth it.

Goodmorning Gentlemen, its 9Am 😂🎉
wild game 4 lol love it
You would have 240hz+ refresh monitor to be able to see a difference in 300fps, otherwise I don't think that's working, just a number
GG
Arty, is the reason you are not casting Flash vs Snow that it hurts so much? 😭
Hurts terribly as a Flash fan :(
so the best terran player routinely gets trounced by the best protoss player ... what does it mean ?
I think the rush avoids any kind of micro or long game. I think his wrist in bad condition. Most of his games here are rushes, when did macro game, his micro was sloppy.
If this was sc1 vs sc2 we wouldn't even have to watch to know who wins....tasteless lost his mind without you artosis. Or maybe you were just carrying him the entire time......hmm 🤔
Ahh yes, the classic probe/dragoon comp. Only held back because gateway can't make probes
Hey Arty. I'm sorry to say but sometimes you talk a lot about nothing when there's actually very important stuff going on. In that first game, the obs first was absolutely crucial. You didn't catch that the obs made a bee-line to scout the production, and as soon as Bisu saw the 4 facts, he added 2 gateways which saved him the game.
I'm just waiting for a new account ArtosisCastsFlash
Im a long time viewer and Im very discontented with that last one
Bisu's probes are better than my zealots~~~
When are we gonna see the NFT rush build from Flash? 🤣
I am happy with Flash win
Game 1: Why Vulture Speed and not Siege?? Fast V don't matter as much as smashing goons.
I think that Terran desperately needs to be able to rush effectively because it's too easy for Protoss to be greedy.
Witty engagement comment because we love RT here
you arent going to notice a difference past the cap of your monitor's refresh rate, and of course, youtube caps at 60 fps. And none of this is even mentioning the fact that you probably arent recording at 300 fps
ggs
This is officially known as horrible cheese that the top players don't do, unless it was flash lol
Cheese is necessary to keep players from being too greedy. Plus i enjoy action packed early games
@@dirkauditore8413 agreed. I wish he would not call rushes or early aggro cheese all the time when it's not Flash
Im Simple man. I see Flash i click. ive seen some other games of Flash vs Snow. he seems to be really struggling vs P. Flash is however. The greatest Starcraft chess player and i have no doubt he will crack the current Meta vs P

Flash finally gave up turtling in TvP?
i cant believe flash won that!
