GUARDIANS !?!? vs PROTOSS !?!? | CNSL 7 

Spoiler blocker for the chads

29:45 crab spin :3

The Ruin v Scan counter in the Dewalt v Yoon matchup is pretty funny. Thanks for the cast!

31:50 I don’t know why but this made me laugh so hard. I noticed the old score about a min prior, but then Artosis commenting about it randomly later caught me off guard. Too funny.

Just wanted to say thanks for all you do Arty. I haven't played SC in many, many years, yet I watch almost all the stuff you put out on RU-vid. Maybe it's the Xan but I just felt extra thankful tonight to get my daily dose of Starcraft

I've just recently started watching SC1 content, and so far, any game with Dewalt has been super interesting and exciting.

I love the zoom out to show the muta's sharking about around 9:00. That gave me such a good look at them trying to find a way in. Love this feature of remastered and hope you use it more often.

Love the fact that the Guardians look like the battleships of Shadows from Babylon 5.

My soul YEARNS for the rest of the series! RT such a tease to only publish one game....

I love this game! It's so exciting to see a game that's really different

Very impressed with Scan's zerg play here

Thanks for the fast uploads!

Man heartbreaking for dewalt, so many times it felt like he could have taken this game

Dewalt played so well on this tournament. He even beat a couple of guys who were on ASL and is the only non korean players in top8

Even Arty can’t resist spoiling :(

I always thought ZVP is kinda favourable for guardians economy wise, but the slow speed makes it useless against storm.

what a amazing game!

Great game! Something for Yoo-n, something for Qmee-n =) I don't think we did find that infected shuttle (definitely primary target, secondary would be corsair imo), toggling to zerg's player view would make finding where to box select quicker in the future. When people realize it forces the burden of a significant, multi-response decision that only has downside, I think we'll start seeing a queen anytime a zerg plays ZvP or ZvZ, especially on island maps.

Are these games replayed from when Artosis was actively commentating or are these 2024 tournament?

"You don't do anything for me at all." - Artosis to fans

why do i never see disruption web? it seems like it would be helpful ?

I watch Dewalt on twitch sometimes. He seems chill.

Spoiler am I crazy or was not taking that island base right next to his main a major mistake from dewalt? I feel like with the amount of storm drops he did was it really too much to spare 10 seconds to set up a nexus there?

When I saw him going mass Corsair at the end, I thought for a second that we might actually be seeing disruption web

My favorite part was when Scan used his Psistorms.

know its a shitty map, but it opened a very interesting and different game. Super nice!

Those templar drops were sick. I actually didn't even know there was a counter at all till you pointed it out. I usually get annoyed the player names are sometimes random throwaway accounts like IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII or something so I stopped looking at UI.

This gonna be another banger! Only 10 seconds in posting this comment so I'm excited to see how it plays out between these 2.

Sick game, epic cast! Give us other games ArtyxD

Awesome game

In terms of map tactics, it felt weird that neither P nor Z destroyed the assimilators to the Z main after the Z expo was breached. (E.g. P had opportunities to do so at 16:15 and 22:30.) Surely leaving the assimilator route open favors one player, so the other player should shut off this route?

Nice intense fighting game, i hate troy but love the asymmetry it delivers. it's truly a struggle out here.

unique game largely due to the map. i actually really like this map for that very reason

crazy game

Not skipping ads for arty

Off topic, but i appreciate Arty pronouncing XiaoShuai correctly this time.

Wow.... what a game. I can't help but cry Zerg OP but still such a great game from both player. It's so hard to play PvZ at that level... Dewalt is one of the greatest.

I wonder when it becomes worthwhile to get shields instead of armor. Usually armor is better, because the hydras and lings will be hitting hull a lot more than shields (since units have more HP than shields, have base armor, and zealots reduce explosive damage to HP by half). So you get a lot more damage reduction via armor upgrades. They're also cheaper: 175/175 for armor lvl 2 vs 200/200 for shields lvl 1. I assume shield upgrades only make more sense if you have a significant air force, or a ton of archons, or if for some reason you really need to level up your cannons, or some combination of the three. But none of that really applied this game, so shields over armor seems weird.

Do you think recall could have worked this game?

SOULKEY V SNOW WAS "PRETTY GOOD" TOO?! hahaha

Dewalt not taking his own island base the entire game was such a weird decision. I don't understand his expansion choices at all.

Good use of Guardians, a group of 10 would be more effective to kill off the base quicker.

Can't toss make assimilators to unblock the expansions?

I expected to hear arty yell at DeWalt for not creating a proxy 2 gate on troy!

I'm still surprised there isn't an ai that can trash most players. Just by virtue of not needing to split it's attention span I'd think a bot would have a decent advantage, like look at stockfish with chess, it's already beyond any human players abilities and that's without any machine learning cuz it got beaten down by the ML algorithms.

crazy

Couldn't you have hidden Dewalt's vision to see only Yoon's vision to spot the unit that was parasite'd?

Nice game..

❤❤❤❤

Scan is so good he 2-1'd people he's not even playing

gg

hell ya cnsl baby

Scouts would totally be the Guardian counter, if the (1) didn't need an expensive upgrade to outrun Scourge (2) that upgrade didn't need a super expensive building to make (3) Scouts themselves weren't super expensive

S P O I L E R / W A L L

I think if Zergs start to go Guardians, maybe we could see Scouts at some point? I'll keep dreaming

ggs

@6:26 commando ling 😂

D Web is criminally under used on island maps like Troy! Had Dewalt researched it before doom dropping an island base, it would have been a fairly easy win.

29:45

Parasite Archons seems like a good move. Protoss have just 2 options to counter the parasite, send the unit away from the army or kill it. A less valuable unit, like a zelot, yeah, just kill it, or send it away..... but, will you kill an archon? ... it's too critical of a unit, and protoss absolutely want that unit in the army. Seems like protoss either lose a very powerful unity in this matchup, or reveals it's army position at all times..... though call.

Can't protoss just build new Assimilators?

It's too bad that Troy is such an issue TvP, because it certainly does force some interesting ideas in other matchups.

15:49 / 32:47

21:42 / 32:47 depleted

What a game 1. This is why I support Dewalt.

Gg Spoilers. This is the sort of game that leads me to thinking hyper upgrade 3 nexus rush with templar dark and light spam, SHOULD be a part of the Protoss tool kit. Lots of the earlymid-mid-midlate phase of the game spent waffling and dithering around.

Love DeWalt, but he got out played

Man. tough lose for Dewalt. would be cool to see d-web + carriers if the zerg made a bunch of islands. dark swarm? who cares. hydras can't shoot. kill all the buildings and move on. That's a big investment i guess. I wonder why Dewalt didn't take the island to the west of his main and the 12:00 then you can kind of float there and defend drops maybe. I dunno. I play terran so not my favourite map. TvP cross spawn 2 gate=auto lose.

I think I just watch brood war matches in the hopes to see Protoss players lose.

seriously that double darkswarm drop is just all kinds of disgusting .. i mean aside from storm and zealots how else are you supposed to counter that? ... don´t get me started with terran ...

That I've watched that Ultra game like 2 or 3 times, that was fucking magical. I really want to see more ZvPs that are like that even if it isn't exactly uh... optimal?

DeWalt played very well for such a janky memeworthy map. They really need to stop using this goofy map though. Arty said it himself that zerg don't even care if the assimilators get killed.

Ruin 1, Scan 2, Arty gay

When I realized 4 upgraded lings could trounce an upgraded zealot. Yup.

That map is so stupid

A pity Dewalt eventually lost series. Looks like he is still not good enough to beat good korean pros.

27:22 "... but there is an archon in here so he is going to be able to.... well you can see that two cracklings kill an archon under dark swarm, so..." ZERG IS SOOOOO OVERPOWERED!! Early game aggression, mid game aggression, late game spells that basically make your units invincible! Mutas which can pretty much end the game of a player doing ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING right, etc.

First!!

Ruined

PROOOOOOOOOTOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Yes, Yoon won. I'm happy as a Zerg player. Does the map layout helps? Yeah, that top left base never got touched. Troy is still a shit map.

When you say "russian" you make mistake in word "terroris"

Such a garbage map.

Hi all! CAn u give advice - I turned on scbw remaster for the first time in several years and it produces 30+ fps even in retro mode in single company. wtf ? pc- ryzen 5 5600x + rtx3070 win10

I'd love to see Feedback or Mind Control against those drops, but I guess it isn't viable at all?

😂prot.noob... Wasting res on anything but the true nemesis of guardians... Le dark archon❤
