Shin's winrate will go up 10% just by getting adrenal glands consistently and on time. It hurts so much watching him miss it. The man should tape a sticky note to his monitor.
I really want to know if he gets all disappointed at himself when he suddenly realizes and researches adrenal 20 minutes after hitting hive. We need to get to the bottom if he’s just intentionally not researching it. Caught a pig cast recently that said over on Winters casts, Shin not getting adrenal glands has become a meme. Maybe winter just only casts adrenal-less Shin games. We need answers!
@@eldenbling2615 yes! Late and early units are the most difficult to balance but they amplify the importance of striking a balance between strategy and tactics. It’s also Protoss’ biggest issue, which used to be a strong point.
@@adrenaline98 They didn't do any balancing to the ultras, they just fixed them. Ultras have been broken since Wings Of Liberty released. They were like elephants afraid of mice. Just step on the damn zerglings, get in there and fight!!!
@@TysonJensen lmao and even more hilarious is Winter actually plays the beacons been lit piece longest for Shin. Can actually picture Aragorn saying Gondor calls for aid when Shin researches adrenals.
I think I know why shin is so good, he's basically the opposite of serral. Serral gets to the point where he can bank indefinitely, shin never has more than a 1000 in the bank because he's constantly throwing things at the opponent and macroing perfectly to replace that.
Discounted hatcheries gave me a really cool idea. What if all/most zerg buildings were similar to creep tumours and had an ability to make another of itself at a discounted price. The range would be limited, you wouldn't need a drone, and the most 'expensive' component would be an increased building time or time that isn't spent researching upgrades or building units. It'd make the whole 'hive' thing way more natural, especially with multiple hatcheries in the same area.
@rmelzhim6033 truly an idea that should be explored. If Terrans can call down health for their depots and Protoss get Energy recharge, it would be safe to assume zergs would like a cool new switch up that doesn't involve the queens. (As a zerg player, I hate the Hydra dash. It's stupid looking and barely impactful, plus they stole from the hydra speed upgrade to give us this. It might not be a nerf. But it looks and feels like crap)
So SHIN is ragnarok.....no wonder why I just can't force myself to think he is good, his zerg is like losing 90% of the time in a game but just somehow wins the game with random attacks without any form of clear advantage. He is clearly not gifted like Dark or Rogue but just somehow can pull off certain games that can't even be won by Dark or Rogue. He is like the main character in an anime who wins with friendship and love of the zerg army.
I have head cannon that Shin lings can only have 1 upgrade on his lings, its either speed or adrenal. One day he will skip speed so he can have slow lings with adrenal.
The Uthermal callout! Love it. Been watching so many of his videos. Would love to watch you cast some of his next tourney vids. Whichever one he plays in next.
Adrenal glands is just shins's final form, which he has yet to reach. Legend has it one day he will research it to stop protoss from winning a tournament.
40:42 damn maybe if he had dropped a depo there the roaches wouldn't get in just a reminder that we can indeed do this even while playing I tend to forget it even heals the depo
Winter! Happy Thanksgiving Always enjoy your casts But they have to do something with the protos early game balance...but hey it seems they'd rather have us watching Tv? Or Zv? Verses Pv anything
I'm new to understanding Starcraft. What does Zerg have for aerial superiority? The pros seem to rely entirely on Vipers and an overwhelming ground presence but what options does Zerg even have?
Love watching your casts! I havent played sc2 in a long time but your sc evo videos got me returning 😅 Also I just got my first ever multiplayer win in actual Brood War so yippee 🎉
If you ask me, an ultralisk with the speed upgrade on creep should outrun damn near anything but like hellions or zerglings. Being on creep means the Zerg should have an advantage, and it’s one of the latest game units Zerg can have, why should a tier 1 Terran unit have any form of advantage against a super late game fully upgraded unit on creep?
I believe the idea is that some T3 units are meant to be countered by some T1 units, otherwise they wouldn't have a counter. However in T's case, the marine counters or deals reasonably wel with just about everything which is conceptually idiotic.
shin has figured it out!! He makes less queens, build a quicker 4th base, make roaches instead of queens. That's why he's getting along with the patch. I think zerg is doing good now. The only problem here is the cyclone.
My problem on the ladder is that Idk how to respond to a counter attack. My brain literally shuts down. I also don’t know how to properly position my vipers and infestors. If my attack fails it’s gg for me. I guess I lack the confidence to be able to pull off these higher elo tactics. I’m gold 2 atm
I need someone to explain this to me, seriously and legitimately from a position of knowledge, not mere speculation. Terran vs Zerg. Marine medivac versus ground-only army. The medivacs pull units out of attack range. WHY don't Zerg players mix in a hydralisk or two into their forces for anti-air? Even if it's not going to take medivacs down in a single volley, at least you'd be discouraging them from sticking around, maybe slowly damage them over the course of the game forcing repairs and wasted resources plus being out of action for a while, right? Why not have a couple hydralisks, even as a quick reaction force to stay out of the main fight so they don't die but stroll up after the units get brought in to poke at them? The entire Terran strategy there is a purely ground force with VITAL air support, so why is there no anti-air included _*at all?_ Is it really so unthinkable to have hydralisks? I know they require their own extra building but even then having them means you can adapt if the Terran changes strategies on you, doesn't it? Are pros really so locked in to "template or nothing" mentalities? And I'm not mentioning queens for anti-air because I get it; they're too slow off of creep and while they can heal units it's nowhere near as effective as the Heal Beam Plane, so they're not the ideal unit for general attack use. But then again, why not have one along just in case, and if it can't keep up or you go off creep, oh well, it can catch up eventually? I know, I'm no kind of Starcraft 2 player, I'm old, and I played Protoss in the single online game I ever tried, but _these are pros,_ shouldn't they be able to do better than I could?
Plato here. Shin can't see the upgrade on his tab list because its a shadow on the cave wall and he has transcended its purpose and found the sun of knowledge which is you don't need it to win.
I honestly hate lurkers unless I go sky toss so early they seem so strong . It’s very frusterating. An I seem to play a lot of people 3-400 mmr higher . Makes laddering so aggrivating
9:58 "He's playing with a handicap it's like a uThermal video" Ouch, I prefer the saying of "If I don't know what I'm doing, neither will my opponent" Lol
They said Ultras need buff so they made them slower and clunkier. They said Hydras need buff so they made them slower. Said Zerg needs more anti air and their solution is to nerf Queen. This is straight up gaslighting
Shin's winrate will go up 10% just by getting adrenal glands consistently and on time.

Much like Hero I think he is doomed to always forget at this point.

tbh i doubt they lose much sleep over it as SC2 is still pretty early game centric as far as i know
im like does he not know the upgrade exists? does no one tell him? did someone hack his pc so its not there? such a mystery
@@Solaxia I can testify that he did get adrenal once, but I guess it must've been a mistake.
Love your videos man, been watching you for years.
Guess I felt like showing my appreciation in a very small symbolic way.❤
I'm so happy seeing Ultras actually attack instead of just dancing in the back line
@@eldenbling2615 yes! Late and early units are the most difficult to balance but they amplify the importance of striking a balance between strategy and tactics. It’s also Protoss’ biggest issue, which used to be a strong point.

Cues
Shin really be taking Dark`s spot as the most casted player these days🥲
Where’s my boy dark :(
At this point I truly think adrenal glands are just a troll to piss the viewers off.
Am I crazy for thinking he actually plays a better Zerg than Dark (sans adrenal failure), but obviously not as creative?
He's gotten pretty good compared to his old self. Im enjoying his rise.
We watched him beat Maxpax the other day 2-1 I think
@@lastleft5809 he’s def a lot better than he was for sure

That is most certain.

He doesnt mention uthermal at all at that timestamp. I'm super confused.
