Arty describing things in life such as going to school and having children as chores/tasks that needed to be knocked out so that he could center his life around brood war is peak Aurtosism
The thing is, you can make non flash games if you want, you might have some silent fans not happy with going allin on flash games, BUT StarCraft is a game for two. Every Flash game is also a someone else game so, aren't we all just happy? My voice - more Flash. I agree with what you said, this is unique, seeing flash adapt and mold the meta is imo very interesting to watch.
I don't know if Flash is molding the meta, or if Flash is molding himself into the meta. So far his games against the tippytop players have not generally gone well. I think he's just trying to find his place and what works for him in the current day, but I'm not sure he's reinventing the wheel or destroying the meta. We'll see.
@@theSato I agree, there's definitely some give and take. I think it will be a mixture of both - Flash adjusting to the meta as well as adjusting the meta. We have already seen some non standard plays work out for him really well, but to change the meta, these plays would have to be able to be executed by any decent player, not just Flash.
love the "I went to school, built my career branching into commentary, found love, started a family, now I just want to play brood war. And flash is in the same position, he played starcraft, did his military service....." the pause as you tried to remember what else flash has done with their life and failing to come up with anything was amazing.
I think the point was the same either way. It's "got into Starcraft, then did the career/military stuff, we've gone through life a bit, and now we're both at this end point where we just wanna play the game into older age."
As mostly an observer, it always felt to me like for a standard TvP build, terran's objective was just to hit his timings and manage any losses from harassment or whatever. So if the terran can just do what they want, they tend to win. That's why a terran is happy with getting out of the early game "even." Protoss can't normally just win a fair fight with gatewayman, so they need something extra, and that starts with proxy zealots and gas steals and crap like that.
I played as a kid and starting watching again cause of you at the last ASL. Not even knowing who flash was, I enjoy watching this non stop series. Wouldn’t work for another player, but it makes sense here. Looking forward to future chills of yours.
Everyone has been saying the sun is brighter, the fruit is sweeter. Milk and honey flow freely. What has changed? And I tell them it's simple. Flash is playing brood war again .
DON'T CAST NON FLASH GAMES EVER AGAIN. But seriously though look at the view count of flash games on your channel, people are obviously wanting more of it people have been waiting years for him to come back.
Of all the things I see when I watch, I I really like the way he turrets. if there's vision, 1-1 relay is fine. if there's a vision blocker, he gets a pair. For the 9oc expo, he got even more. But aways miss 1 turret at wall between nat and main, so common as protoss' turret-free safe zone, then bounce from mineral line to mineral line to jackpot a transfer, or score on miners et al. eg. Snow v Speed ASL17
The only part of these videos that i don't enjoy is the "sorry guys flash video time" disclaimer every time. To the point that im almost convinced that youre baiting these types of comments for seo/algo reasons. stop bro
"I did consider casting some non-Flash games..." I know people might think thats what is wanted. And thats okay. People can have opinions. Even if they're the wrong.
1st game: why send back your probes THIS early when the nexus is still 100/100 ? couldve enjoyed more mining time - that part of the game is not yet macro heavy... 2nd game: sending the shuttle with reaver back to main was the worst decision ever.... first of all where is the goonblock ? 2ndly there was a 2nd reaver in the base! what is going to happen when the pylon falls? ofc the vulture go in just send the shuttle with reaver to ur 3rd and block vulture harass ... dude lost all workers for NO reason i know flash is flash and hes THE best, but it feels like really good players forget how to play their usual good self when fighting flash like he is some omnipotent being that controls their brain im so happy to have flash games but i also want games where both players are performing well D:
I love watching Flash games. Other terrans will limit test by skipping a bunker or delaying a turrret; Flash will limit test by throwing down a CC multiple minutes faster. In the paradigm of innovators vs honers, Flash is fucking both, and it's wild.
@@mapro3948 What the hell does that even mean? Koreans have been driving the meta since forever. Westerners suck at Broodwar, and I say this as a Westerner
I just saw flash win by massing goliaths and rallying into a surround and then attacking in. Didn't seem particularly high tier but terrans are not that hard to impress as long as it's terran. Ok so it's a "poor engagement" from Flash that still works. Is a "poor engagement" too high of a bar for all other terrans?
terrans like to explain how their race is so hard, but then the explanation is that it's not as hard as the other races. I mean even Artosis knows zerg units suck, and admits it all the time, but just doesn't admit it directly.
Artosis is not yet humble enough to admit he's not flash so he can't make everything work - only a standard build someone else had perfected before him
I also see brood war as part of my life. I may take breaks from it, but I always come back. The game and its community have been a pillar of my life for 15+ years. Keep up the good work, RT.
(NO, DON'T CAST OTHER GAMES, CAST ONLY FLASH GAMES, STARCRAFT=FLASH!!!) flash is the only guy that can raise again terran race...recently top terran players and terran race are humiliated by snow/soulkey...TERRAN RACE NEED INSTANT FLASH!!!
I wanted to watch this but then when you didn't apologize and kowtow at my feet it really soured the experience. I can't just watch flash without you apologizing for casting flash.
Artosis… I know you’re thinking that you’re casting too much flash, but you told us that he and nOOB played 4 ladder matches in a row…. You only showed us 50% of what you could have!! If I’m being honest, I switched to SC2 up until you started casting matches of Flash. Keep it up, please!
I'm sorry. Did Arty just say "even low percentage plays are OK, I guess." Is this the same person who bitches about people absolutely wrecking him on the ladder with low percentage plays? 😮😮😮😮😮 I am positive Arty is two different people. There ain't no way :))
And there's a world in which he gets 5. And there's a world in which he gets all the SCVs with the zealot drop! Unlikely, but there's a world out there!
kamsky quit chess practically in 1998 and came back in 2004. Almost become a WCh challenger. Surely there are similar episodes in mindsport competitions.
There's always going to be another random PvZ or ZvZ mirror between two great pros on the ladder. But there's only going to be a brief window where we can watch Flash explore the ladder and innovate after a long hiatus.
I was 5 years old when this game came out. I first played it in Middle school in my computer class. My favorite race was Terran and then Protoss as a close 2nd. I wasn't ever any good because I didn't know strategy or builds. So I just cheated when I played against the computer 😂. I miss this game terribly. I need to invest in a PC so I can play this glorious game again. Thanks for always posting Artosis. Like I said previously, I don't always comment on every video. But you damn sure believe I watched it and gave the thumbs up 👍.
