I love how little of AF Arty give about the thumbnail image. He obviously just googles the video title and pick the first cartoon jpeg the slap on the screenshot. Vulture drop? Baby chicken hatching! Chefs kiss.
Great game and great cast! Thank you for all the analysis and the zoom out at the big end game engagement. Love the win condition discussion, I’ve been in the same position as P where a beaten and bloody T slowly pushes and takes another base, love to hear what toss should be doing in that scenario!
Insane multiasking and speed by YSC. THis might look like "me protoss ape, me storm tanks", but it's actually incredibly hard to do all this while taking half the map, macroing out units at a base that is being siege and clearning minefields.
I think he might have lost without that play. No vessel up top to EMP it nor any wraiths, turrets alone do not stop arbiters almost ever. Soso did crush the speed shuttles with his turret setup though.
Anyone have any tips on how to learn brood war? I've never played an RTS in my life, I've never played a game with such difficult controls period. Any tips? I'd like to learn Terran as bold as that may be.
Try to beat the computer once you win every game, go take one of the build order for one base like SoSO 2 fact 1 base and play it everygame adjust depending on race... Goliaths vs Zerg, vultures and tank vs Protoss, Tank vs Terran,etc. Try out different units combination and ratio. You can also do it vs the computer from the start, probably better for consistency, though Computer plays strange, very different from human.
@artosis (or anyone knowledgeable) I’ve always heard in casts pros cross scout first because you do a different build depending on whether they are cross or close. Is there any particular reason he scouted top left first in this game?
YES! COME ON SOSO! Let's go go! 11:15 Oh my gosh YES! Dude, that drop got actually NOTHING done for Protoss! NICE!!!! 25:20 Arbiters are fair and well balanced. (Coughs blood.) Sorry, I cough blood when I say false statements. 27:45 Oh my gosh, no... NO. Gosh Arbiters are cheap... Fly in, push 1 button, get a free base kill. BLAAAAH!!!
Good game overall. YSC has good macro, ok micro and perfect strategic thinking. At the same time, his army movement and feeling of the map's space is not up to the level. I believe that's the biggest difference between him and top-level Protoss players like Snow. YSC just moves around the map with little to no feel of the surroundings. Sometimes it's not a big deal - then again sometimes he has to engage from a very bad angle. Like when he lost his 6 o'clock base - half his army stumbled behind a big wall and was just taking shots from high ground. Whereas he coule easily maneuver them around and get into the fight from the back, just crushing the terran army. But that would require a pre-emprive thinking and more precise army-on-the-march control. Kind of reminds me of my own PvT games. No matter how good your macro, micro or strategy is - if you engage from a bad angle, you just cannot do anything about it afterwards. And most of the time in PvT when an engagement have started - you're pretty much obligated to proceed. As trying to retreat will just end up in army losses with zero gain.
hmm just a thought, maybe you could color code the names somehow? maybe a little color mark next to their real names at bottom right soso, and YSC. just cause they always use such random names its hard to follow whos who when you're watching random videos. just a thought. edit: im tired, just noticed theres a protoss and terran icon next to their names lol, doh
YSC has looked excellent in a fair number of games, some KCM performances where he played really solid PvT and then destroyed Queen in PvZ were also rly good. Let's hope for Protoss
Hot take: Terrain's winrate would increase >5% if they'd properly target fire their tanks in big battles. So often you'll see 10 tanks wasting two volleys of 750+ damage on killing 5 single Zealots instead of the 15 clumped up Dragoons in the back that are in range.
These storms turned the game in the wrong direction. I wouldn’t say amazing but very on time, aways good and at the end won the game. Hope next one soso will take YSC down.
Praying for cheese this round ... That was the exact opposite of cheese. Ugh, watching 'forgone conclusion' textbook TvP, is the worst matchup to sit through.
One of the most enjoyable tournaments I have watched. Thank you for the uploads, Arty.

Chefs kiss.
I think showing a bracket after every round like you did in the beginning of ro8 was excellent!
Excellent game by both players. Very fun to watch.
The peace I have when the intro queues in, workers start mining and Arty is talking is unexplainable
Great game and great cast! Thank you for all the analysis and the zoom out at the big end game engagement.

Really been enjoying these casts, thank you Arty!
I enjoy watching this kind of match up, both sides are pretty good at attacking each other’s base. Very tight match! GG for both!
11:15 not even a terran player but those turrets are so satisfying
little men in the turrets did it.
clean cast, as always Artosis
My favorite thing in the morning is my breakfast with a side of Arty SC1
I'll see your vulture drop and raise you a recall.
That was a great game One of the best of the tournament so far
You called it. YSC got to have both other mains = unstoppable.
Insane multiasking and speed by YSC. THis might look like "me protoss ape, me storm tanks", but it's actually incredibly hard to do all this while taking half the map, macroing out units at a base that is being siege and clearning minefields.
it WAS totally "me protoss ape"
terran has to do way, way more work with less bases and units
only a few things can catch terran up
It's good to see a long PvT!
took a while to get the arbiter, but it ended up working out
I think he might have lost without that play. No vessel up top to EMP it nor any wraiths, turrets alone do not stop arbiters almost ever. Soso did crush the speed shuttles with his turret setup though.
Nobody is going to comment about the Front Facing Baby Chick in the thumbnail?
Great game, lots of back and forth.
Very nice close match

It depends how much experience you have with the game in general. Have you played it at all? Like have you even played through the campaign?
Day9 (Tasteless' brother) made a series called "Let's Learn StarCraft" on RUclips when Remastered came out. It is a great starting point.
Artosis thanks for the daily entertainment
@artosis (or anyone knowledgeable) I’ve always heard in casts pros cross scout first because you do a different build depending on whether they are cross or close. Is there any particular reason he scouted top left first in this game?
That was a good game indeed. Hard to tell whos gonna win
Anyone knows what's up eith the audio in the last 20seconds? I hear nothing.
Gg. Good cast!
Amazing cast
Hey arty! Thanks again for the casts! Remember to like and comment!
YES! COME ON SOSO! Let's go go!
11:15 Oh my gosh YES! Dude, that drop got actually NOTHING done for Protoss! NICE!!!!

Fly in, push 1 button, get a free base kill. BLAAAAH!!!
they fail often when mines are placed and tanks are around
Great game!!
this was a good round!
great game!

Awesome match
Artosis do you agree it would be good idea to make scouts more cheap?
ArtosisCasts it felt like Soso underperforms in micro
But his apm was high enough
What do you think 🤔
Novice here, I'm curious why Terrans don't always try to develop nukes. Seems they could have helped take out that bottom right corner base
hmm just a thought, maybe you could color code the names somehow? maybe a little color mark next to their real names at bottom right soso, and YSC. just cause they always use such random names its hard to follow whos who when you're watching random videos. just a thought.
edit: im tired, just noticed theres a protoss and terran icon next to their names lol, doh
vultures are so BEYOND bad against anything that isnt a zealot or HT but the mines are just like nukes lol
Wp GG ❤
What a great even game. SC4 life bros.
Protoss is so OP
Versus terran it really is though. Extremely difficult to deal with a protoss player that is good at using psi storms.
👍
YSC has looked excellent in a fair number of games, some KCM performances where he played really solid PvT and then destroyed Queen in PvZ were also rly good. Let's hope for Protoss
yo
Soso needs to learn put spider mines more and more for static defense

Go protoss
Really thought soso had the game in the bag. Protoss just too much...
These storms turned the game in the wrong direction. I wouldn’t say amazing but very on time, aways good and at the end won the game. Hope next one soso will take YSC down.
: )
Ahaaaaaaaaa LOL
So so
saying to be honest so many times, makes me wonder what he doing rest of the time. ha
A
Bring back ban/unban
poor micro by soso, very poor
