That marine hold against the ling runby was absolutely stellar. The blocking with the marines, and he let the scvs mine until the last moment before pulling them to the ramp. Got a couple more minerals in while the marines were blocking. Wow.
RT probably missed the scouting SCV that Flash sent ahead of his Marine attack at 5:13 when he said that Flash was very brave for sending out his marines because the Zerg could have made more lings. Flash was never at risk of losing his marines because of it.
Pretty sure FLash noticed that all the previous ASL TvZs were a stack of mutas harassing the terran's natural and there was nothing to be done about it. I'm glad he's bringing goliaths into the mix now.
I figure that's why some players are trying to make early wraiths work as well. Who isn't tired of all the muta games? Not just terran players, but they're terrible for viewers as well.
Snowballing in games is 100% a thing, especially in games like SC, and especially when it involves the economy (sneaking an extra base, getting some really good worker kills, etc).
I was never really into watching Brood War when Flash was in his prime. I've watched most of the tourney vods but for me personally, seeing Flash in real time is such a treat.
"Watching the greatest player ever try to re-invent the meta in his own image. It's literally like the only thing I want to do right now with my life" Arty's 4 kids and wife - "Am I joke to you"
You apologizing for Flash games every video is like if Jesus Christ himself came back on earth and the priests were like: "So yeah JC is back, but we've talked about him for the last week so let's instead talk about the sin of smartphones or some shit."
Really want to see SK terran into battlecruisers with medic restoration and energy upgrade become a thing lategame tvz. Anytime someone goes battlecruisers they don't go for any upgrades not even yamato so it feels from layman perspective that the build is not utalized effectively. Best person using battlecruisers is Scan and Royal used it very well not last ASL but two season before that, the one he didn't win :/ But I don't think that means it's not a very good counter to lategame zerg, hope it's a matter of micro/macro routine adaptation, going out of your comfort zone to learn something new, how Bishop makes Wraiths work vs Mutalisks. Anyways thanks Artosis for all your casts, SCBW is my mental shangri-la.
From what I understand, the main issue is that battlecruisers want to be all over the map taking advantage of their air status, so they won't always be near medics to get restored.
@@Tungar111-mv2hw Good point, I think they could be used with flanking staying near the main bio forces but attacking and withdrawing over impassable terrain? Sort of like terran use siege tanks against lurkers, but since they are air they are more mobile.
I've never really followed the Brood War scene at all. I got into the pro scene of StarCraft 2 years ago via Tastetosis castings, but I must say it has been incredibly fun to watch your enthusiasm about Flash's return. ^^ I've watched every one I've seen and I can't get enough! :D
As a SC2 player and SC1 observer only, when I hear Terran Mech isn't viable right now, it makes me think...well, isn't that like 1/3 of the race's possible builds out the window up front? Is there more diversity in what they can do than what I'm thinking?
Currently Terran actually has slightly more wins past 27 minutes than Zerg do. It's true that their winrate caps out at about 14 minutes in, and turns back to zerg favoured after 19 mintes, but in extreme endgames Terran win more often than Zergs do at the ASL level. Hell, Terran also with ~60% of games on 4 player maps in TvZ now, but only 51% on 2 player maps, with a stronger advantage on adjacent spawns than cross spawns. I think all those stat calculations do show that Terran is a timing attack based race, but with an equivalent or slightly better endgame than Zergs. Mostly due to the absurd cost efficiency of SK Terran and science vessels. You'll see this in individual player stats too, on 4-player maps against academy rushes over the last 2 ASLs, Soulkey literally had a 0% winrate. He got all his ZvT wins exclusively on 2 and 3 player maps, by doing a lot of damage before the Terran gets out on to the map, or the Terran playing literally anything that wasn't SK Terran.
lol I have caught every video ever since "FLASH IS BACK" daily... I was even getting bored sometimes and would let a couple weeks of artosis build up, then pick and choose, but I have checked EVERY video since flash lol
Terran is not a late game faction. WRONG! See how long some TvT are! You are casting all this, so you know better. They can survive very long. Yes, I know that TvT is a mirror match and? It is long anyway (and I love it actually). Pure logic checkmate! (should I add the /s ?)
I'm not saying I could do it, because I don't enjoy suffering outside of marriage, but it seems very doable for someone who is into SC1. I mean I like the campaign but the multiplayer is a hard pass.
SC1 ghosts and bc's suck so much that it beggars belief that they weren't reworked until SC2. Also, missile turrets need a splash damage upgrade or something.
I would like to see Flash against an all-in 4pool or a B-rank Toss. Not just those schematic Pros who perform a build step-by-step with a timer in their hand. That would be a show. 😄
Not sorry to be watching flash. Much cooler to have great games and a "narrative" spanning a few weeks rather than just random games from random guys. Plus your Terran expertise is always a boon
ARTOSIS IM LITERALLY YEARS DEPRIVED OF FLASH OKAY? WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S ENOUGH (MONTHS MINIMUM). EVEN BETTER THAT HE'S LOSING SOME GAMES IT MEANS WE GET TO SEE HIM FIGURE THE GAME OUT AGAIN.
stop saying we're getting tired of flash. If we were the type of people to get tired of watching 1 flash game a day, would we be watching this channel?
Is the astrea of America your family? I just heard thr sc2 producers send the top replays to youtubers. It makes sense why we only learn about the same players
finally nice to see a terran that gets early damage to the zerg economy and build a shit ton of turrets to defend while the terran rebuilds their army and just let their better eco win the game
