I hope you guys enjoyed the longest battle yet. We are in discussion about applying some rules to the length of the match, but I am of the opinion that it goes as long as it needs to (even if that means 1.5 hours), because this is something different then what we usually see in Starcraft. This has gone from a fun event for some top tier nerds to have fun with to something many pro and semi pro players are interested in because of your support and interest! If you are a fan of the drama, the memes, the dreams and the gunboat diplomacy of these matches you can support them on a near weekly basis with Matcherino (think Patreon for Esports showmatches), here is next week's match and roster - matcherino.com/tournaments/15532/overview
I just finished the match. By god that was the best FFA so far. The long match, the butting of heads, the insults and alliances and traitorous deeds. 10/10 will watch again!
I think this was the most overall action packed one, where, you were not sure who would actually win , right to the end. Where as in the others, it was quite easy to see who would eventually win, quite early on.
i think it would have been funny if gas of the normal bases don't mine out as well as the minerals of the gold so the fight of the gold would decide who wins this would also force faster ending since you don't need to keep to much an eye on cost efficient in the last minutes since you can rebuild as long as you can hold and doesn't make it dangerous to move out and maybe even lose4x
Just wanted to say, I just disabled my Select All Army hotkey, and while it was challenging short-term, I get it. It's hard. It feels like a totally different game. And I love it.
Looks like building protoss units with zerg was a mistake by Calab. It just takes to much minerals to build extra struktures and upgrades compared to just zerg units.
Battle royale? And I thought this friday couldn’t get any better. I love these and I love the castings you’ve done for it Winter. This is going to be a sick battle!
SC2 is free to play for everything except the campaigns. The only thing to lose is your time and hard drive space, give it a try when ever you feel like it.
@@Eclipse-ed6ceHe will post the 4th one under 4th or lost episode or something :P Just had a lot of GM FFAs lately and don't wanna post them all right away
I can't believe players didn't play to the map more. The moment they discovered it was infinite gas, they should have realized that the final battles would all be gas units. This probably gives an advantage to the Zerg since I'd say the Infestor is the strongest support unit in the game in a swarm of 50. But Protoss aren't in a bad place either, since they have Archons! So just build 20 Archons for 2000 Minerals, and do this over and over and over. You can even Storm constantly along with the Archons, and your mineral cost efficiency will be easily 5x that of Carriers, if not 10x cost efficiency. You gotta learn to think like a custom map player to win on a custom map.
Exactly. The guy building all the Infestors was the only one who had a clue when it came to resource management, and he only figured it out late game after wasting mad resources on spores. I'm no where near the level these players are so how the hell did all of them miss such a basic strategy? It's not like Archons and Light Templar are even bad end game units. They are solid even when you don't take into consideration the massive resource advantage. After hearing what the map rules were I figured it would end in a big protoss vs zerg fight featuring a crap ton of casters like Templar/Archon vs Infestor/Viper with some more mineral heavy units like motherships and brood lords to support and round out the critical weak points in the expendable gas heavy armies. Instead we got carrier fleets and spore crawler spam which are two of the best ways to burn through as many minerals as possible.
I love how Winther just keep referring to the COME TO ME from puck, in every battle royale since =) Caleb and Jim was the two most effective players, and puck was just awesome as usual =)
Felt this game? That's the sensation of playing Terran right now. You have to slowly, methodically grind down your opponents, picking your fights smart, or all would be lost.
how about Battle Plebeian: Bronze League Heroes revenge? One game would take about 24 hours and you could break it up into a 1-hour episodes and release it on HBO Go
Please don't sit in one camera location doing quizzes or hiding the game with overlays when there is action going on. We missed a lot of battles. I'm sure other people want to watch the game as well. Thanks
To be fair nobody was doing a damn thing for 95% of the time he had the quiz up. You can tell by looking at the mini map. That's why he was doing the quiz because the game stalled out for a while.
Wait i didnt realise it untill the end but if frobie tactical jumped into the spores and lost his army he would still have the fling building a Calob could not take them out it would really be a draw or just a waiting game
@@Drikett1 maybe no attack until 6 minutes. The thing a good pro gamer can be out within 3 mins if 2 opponents rush him, and we end up missing out on seeing his play style and strats.
@@wisanimaluleke9846 interesting idea. However it would be a kinda boring lead-up and others could still team against him. puCK did get rushed against IdrALing in the third one and still pulled out the win. keep in mind a lot of these pro players have really good diplomacy skills (not including JimRising :P ) which IMO would be a bigger asset than a big army. why fight your enemies when you can get you other enemies to do it for you? :D
I hear you. But I do not wish to watch Starcraft vids for diplomacy and then have people turtling coz they are "friends" with everyone. In an ideal world, I'd have top players (neeb, serrel, maru etc) playing in teams. I think that would be entertaining. They can rush or macro (or whatever strat they choose).
@@wisanimaluleke9846I am working with map creators so hopefully we can change the map so we can eliminate the turtling. if you watch previous games the turtling was never an issue till recently. i understand completely. I am reaching out to some of those players and may also expand to EU server. I have talked to LiquidLTO, Astrea, PiG and others so we will be getting more high tier players to mix into the other GMs. I am also in talks with WinterSC, Florencio and AVEX to see what differences could be made to the maps to make it more optimized for FFA game play. You and I both wanna see what these players are made of, but i also don't wanna restrict what they are capable of or what others are capable of either.
I still think carriers are a little op in regular matches if you can get to them and back them up with minerals but in FFA they kinda just seem like a money waste. Also anyone else think it would be cool if zerg and terran also had a mothership-like unit where they powerful but you can only build one. maybe the leviathan for zerg and like a gorgon or an archangel, or the terratron for terran.
It would way more interesting if geisers are 100M gas, there should be a handful of mineral patches that are like that too, maybe main base or expansion, that precludes this late game situation that makes game boring.

These games are quite fun to watch, but Winter drives me nuts with those paint drawings, popping windows and random sounds all the time .. -.- FFS just focus on the game and play video editor in literally any other time..
frobie didnt deserve this for real.... he doesnt deserve to play in this ffa.... i mean passive all game even in the only situation where his chances were 100% clear win? its worse than any bronze league gging out with 3k minerals...

Would love these to continue without a limit. Ruins the strategy a bit of players are forced into a last minute fight 5 minutes before the timer
never time limits
When is Parting going to be in a battle royale?
How bout a pro/am tournament?

woah wintersc just used witcher 3 soundtrack ...

You and me both. Max love for Winter
Did I miss the 4th battle royale?
this is 4
This -event- series is so fun
what happened to #4 ? i am going through this playlist but couldnt find #4
Caleb the king of the north and the zerg protoss
I lost so many brain cells from the last 30 minutes
no rush 15 min?
I had a cat. my cat's name was hamburgers. My fish's name is potato chip.
this is testament to terrans being op!

This aged well :')
Frobi is the kind of guy to see a girl that's he like and he knows likes him back but still doesn't take the shot
#relatable
And the meek inherit the earth.
Is their no way to score players by kills. An incentive to fight would be great so we don’t have turtle Terran :)
Not sure if I quite like FFA. I'd like to see teams, like 2v2v2v2 or 4v4
Thanks. What do you think could improve this game style?

If Zerg neural parasites a unit the spores should not attack as it becomes one of their units
It doesn't. You have to tell the spores to lol
GG
Caleb? More like maranax pallex!
Imagine if Avilo were in one of these
id love to have Avilo. I asked him and so did others but no response.
