Never commented on youtube before but just wanted to say that as a 40 something geek who used to play a bit of SC 25 odd years ago I really appreciate these excellent casts. Love your commentary and look forward to my daily dose :)
I used to watch a lot of chess but it got really boring after I saw all the historical games and a few modern classical championships. Then I got into blitz chess. Then I realized what i really want is RTS. And StarCraft is the best one out rn.
Bishop with the Wraiths vs. Zerg is my favorite version of StarCraft to watch. You had a series about 6 months ago where he dominated with them. I have watched that about a dozen times.
@@DeezBaeNaeNae heck no. Wraiths cost more than mutas, do less damage, and don't heal (have to be repaired). The only advantage is that terrans almost never go air so zergs always skip air defense and don't ever bother to even scout.
Haven't played StarCraft at all since wings of liberty, I've been watching your vids every day for a few months now. Absolutely love the amount of knowledge and context you provide. I forgot how much I love StarCraft, thank you for all that you have done for the scene.
I love your casts Artosis. Would it be possible for you to regularly include the players in the title? It makes it easier to search for certain games in your videos.
wow! Impressive Analysis Artosiss truly one of your very very best. Also if looking a bit more after that miniscule error that the zerg has made, seems like the vulture micro could have been a bit better ? no?
When I was playing ladder regularly, I always did 8 Rax because at the F/E/D level there is sooooo much freaking cheese. I would usually transpose to a 111 or Fake Double build against Protoss and go for a marine-vulture comp to fight goons and counter DT's and drops with spider mines.
I agree with what you said about punching above weight class a bit, I sucked at PvZ in Sc2, I did a timing attack build with phoenix, +2 chargelots dropped via prism in the main base, thanks to ROOTMinigun demonstrating a pro build. the chargelots did well against hydras, phoenix opener shutting down mutas, u know the deal
Its fine to see a bit more one sided games time to time, these are part of gameplay, even high level gameplay and its interesting to see mistakes spiraling out of control or particularly good plays getting good payoffs.
2:10 Artosis, you just described my good friend, TEFLON RON. He's an abuser for sure, which is why I usually win against him :) Would be fun to play some BW PC or 64 with ya some time. Keep up the awesome casts!
surprising how quickly that count built up. feels odd since 3 wraiths is the magic number for efficient breakpoint for most early game zerg units. hatch in front of sunk is very close to being within bunker range, because creep from colony extends further than from a hatch. Not a fan replacing micro heavy strategy with sharper micro heavy strategy is a weird approach, in particular when the other player still doesn't need to make complete different units in response, zerg literally make no changes, just need to dogfight a little harder than usual feels like the micro for wraith is essentially turning game into muta vs muta scourge within a 2 range knifes edge.
When arty sais, now the zergs has to deal with this, THAT is why more terrans need to embrace this against zerg, it totally shifts the weight of what zerg must do, it makes it do they can't impose on terrain, it's flipped. TERRANS EMBRACE WRAITHS!
Yeah, I agree with your approach to practice Arty, as any one who is serious about getting better should. I played a lot of sc2 during WoL and I coulda 4 gated every game and had a sick win rate, but that doesn't really improve anything but how to 4 gate. It really shouldn't be a controversial opinion
I know there's several reasons why terran cant just go wraiths always versus zerg, but goddamn is it nice to watch them be aggressive on the field rather than defensively putting up turrets and hoping their distribution was correct for the angle of the mutas.
Valks are still under used imo. Even 1 valk is very worth imo. I can't imagine not getting a valk against mutas. Even just having it is going slow any muta harass. Also, when they see a valk you can bet they're not going to mass muta. In other words, just make a valk then expect anything but mass muta lol. Of course 3 is actually going to be stopping any muta for the most part..the investment is not that big. The odds they stop building mutas and you expecting them to stop is worth it alone imo. I would definitely just open bio, rush valk, turrets, and switch to mech and go for a 3rd.
Spoken like someone who has never played the game at any kind of competitive level and truly has no idea what they’re talking about. But thanks for your “opinion” bro
It's almost as if you are having too much fun with Broodwar lately, Artosis. Fun, in my Broodwar? Artosis? Are you alright? It would be a weird thing if one day you would actually.. enjoy playing the game. Too weird, almost. Which other assumptions about the physical world no longer hold if Artosis starts to actually enjoy playing. Realities too horrifying to consider
you can easily tell that shaoshea is a joke. better than anybody watching this probably but for pros still a joke. for example when that vulture came and he defended he made 3 mistakes with drones in 5 seconds... lot of work to do if he wants asl.
2:18 I disagree. If you're competitive you find every edge to win and strategies that can maximize your opponents attention without exhausting your own are absolutely valid. The attrition game of wearing down focus is more important in competitive RTS games than in most others. It's a scrub mentality to think one strategy is more valid than another based on execution. It lets you make excuses for losing.

I am in the same boat as you. I love the daily uploads. Keep liking the videos and support the Patreon. I don’t want these to ever stop.
I'm the same, but I'm 29 years old. I watched my brother play as a kid, then played a bit myself. Daily dose of Arty is a must :D
This!!!! I actually started playing starcraft again after seeing these wonderful casts from Arty😊
@@bendangeruss501 cheers hadn't thought about patron
I love seeing zerg get the muta treatment: flying units rushing to your base and wrecking your mineral line.
Yup same here. Zerg getting a taste of their own medicine!
thats why we love leta
Marine + Wraith feels like something I would make as a kid. Fun to see.
I always love when we get box art type army compositions fighting.
Deja vu and chills what mixture of feelings i had
Like someone remembering getting lost on a arctic expedition.
I love a good wraith flex
A new Artosis Cast? Chills.
Back in Wings of Liberty, I was a baneling bust abuser to get to master. Otherwise I was hard stuck diamond. Artosis put that in a coherent way.
Bishop with the Wraiths vs. Zerg is my favorite version of StarCraft to watch. You had a series about 6 months ago where he dominated with them. I have watched that about a dozen times.
you never seen old school Leta
Wraith play fun to watch
The first 20 seconds of this video was unexpectedly hilarious 😂
Artosis casting 😊
Artosis streaming 🙁
Both are 😊😊
Artosis creaming 😁
@@SirVesanus tts is cancer. Cant stand listening to that
Grow up, hater.
Artosis is the daddy of SC
@@omuploii well he didnt specify he is hating on artosis. Maybe he is hating on the juvenile tts that plagues his stream?
Wraiths are awesome.
yeah, its very under utilized but once used properly its very devastating, its a budget terran muta
@@DeezBaeNaeNae heck no. Wraiths cost more than mutas, do less damage, and don't heal (have to be repaired). The only advantage is that terrans almost never go air so zergs always skip air defense and don't ever bother to even scout.
Ok, this time I won't get chills for real
That assessment gave me chills. Arty, your content is my go-to during dinner time. I appreciate it.
When a game is just 8 minutes long, could you do two of them?
I love watching Bishop's wraiths. That unique style preference to use them when most terrans dont makes him a more interesting player
That's really an Artosis cast. In a Wraith game, he wants to see the one Vulture that was built!
Zerg getting wrecked with wraiths is so satisfying. Bishop really has this build down tight
Morning coffee and a new Artosis cast. Chills.
how was your iced coffee?
10:03 Motive...
excellent analysis always, the amount of detail starcraft is able to create with such small pieces is incredible
Haven't played StarCraft at all since wings of liberty, I've been watching your vids every day for a few months now. Absolutely love the amount of knowledge and context you provide. I forgot how much I love StarCraft, thank you for all that you have done for the scene.
I had to watch this one a few times I believe this to be a masterpiece
I love your casts Artosis. Would it be possible for you to regularly include the players in the title? It makes it easier to search for certain games in your videos.
A micro-masterclass would be kinda cool
wow!
Impressive Analysis Artosiss truly one of your very very best. Also if looking a bit more after that miniscule error that the zerg has made, seems like the vulture micro could have been a bit better
? no?
Flyboys were having so much fun.

I've just been in this place before...
his wraith micro is out of this world
Lmfao that deja vu joke was gold
Good to see a wraith build doing well for once
Its fine to see a bit more one sided games time to time, these are part of gameplay, even high level gameplay and its interesting to see mistakes spiraling out of control or particularly good plays getting good payoffs.
Good breakdown!
2:10 Artosis, you just described my good friend, TEFLON RON. He's an abuser for sure, which is why I usually win against him :) Would be fun to play some BW PC or 64 with ya some time. Keep up the awesome casts!
Great game, precise analysis
Chills
I Agree with the Assessment
wraiths time in the sun
I genuinely really enjoy Wraith games.
I haven't played in years and been catching up with these videos, but whatever happened to the Battlecruiser? Not viable anymore?
What does 8 racks mean? 8 svc and build a barracks? Or build 8 barracks?
Jokes on you Arty, I watched both Bishop games in the same sitting so I wasn't left wanting a wraith game 😆
I agree with your assessment of abusers, if I hold something in the ladder, I tend to win even from behind.
surprising how quickly that count built up. feels odd since 3 wraiths is the magic number for efficient breakpoint for most early game zerg units.
hatch in front of sunk is very close to being within bunker range, because creep from colony extends further than from a hatch.

BishOp vs XiaoShuai for another go? 'fraid you've Deja'd your last Vu
Am I wrong, or is this what Sharp should have tried against SoulKey to have any hope of winning, lol.
Did bishop create this build? Where do i find how exactly to execute this build?
question.... Had XiaoShuai suspected a vulture, should he have built his spire at the bottom of the ramp?
Deja Vu! Chills!
I know there's several reasons why terran cant just go wraiths always versus zerg, but goddamn is it nice to watch them be aggressive on the field rather than defensively putting up turrets and hoping their distribution was correct for the angle of the mutas.
Why did XiaoShuai not scout Bishop's base with an overlord?
Good morning gamers 🌄
True dat, arty
Lmao i can’t believe he got away with this build. What a treat.
ArchmageDanny gon see this one on the shidder 0_0
Praying to god he doesn’t spoil the end of ssl in this video as I’m waiting to watch it with a friend (kinda how people do with football lol.)
i'm sure i've seen this before ...
Artosis can you cast as chalenge some warcraft 2 matches? JUST FOR FUN 😊
Yes
This game should not have been as close as it was.
Nerf Protoss imba!
Valks are still under used imo. Even 1 valk is very worth imo. I can't imagine not getting a valk against mutas. Even just having it is going slow any muta harass.

I love watching Zerg players get Wraith'd

You’re a joke..do you not know how close he was to qualifying this season? A lot closer than a lot of pros who have made it in multiple times
Hello Arty ! Could you cast some low elo legends ? Might be fun from time to time
ggs
can we get to 420 likes ;P

Are you new here? Art is THE KING of making excuses for losing.

Zerg is so HYPE!

I don’t like these Korean vs foreigner matches, it’s always super one sided
