I NEED you to see this criminally underrated StarCraft 2 genius! 

"But the storm, the historical and literal counter to vikings" my God man you've done it again.

"Nightmare isn't afraid of Ghosts" is such a hard line.

This might be the best display I've seen in years of PvT

Watching these games, the one thing I noticed Nightmare doing a lot was microing stalkers to constantly shave medivacs, vikings and ghosts specifically, keeping their numbers as low as possible. Trusting the storms, zealots, and collosus to keep the marine/marauder count in check. What a treat or a series to watch

damn, nightmare plays protoss to the protoss fantasy. Feels like he is a hunter, rather than the death ball. Going to be my favorite protoss if he improves. I hope he gets better.

As a plain Observer of SC games and having love for the Protoss race, it was an absolute spectacle to watch a 'Toss player have DECISIVE victories against Terran players like Byun and Clem.

Winter with his own extra sauce to drizzle on his metaphorical speak

I'm not typically ever excited to see a Hero or MaxPax game, but this Nightmare guy... What a blast to watch. He's really making Protoss feel powerful again.

That was an absolute treat to watch. Well done, Nightmare!

notice how in the last game Nightmare switches in and out of colossi. Terran ends up building vikings just in case - and in half the battles, the vikings are wasted supply cause there are no colossi. the last fight shows this as well, Terran's bio is getting obliterated while he's frantically landing a bunch of vikings.

What a first game by Nightmare! That warp prism dance at the end 😂😂

OK. i Trust you Winter!

We are once again here because winter has invoked the sacred “Trust me bro”

Thanks for being so consistent, so funny and so enthusiastic about casting pro series of sc2. You started as a casual caster and you became my every day one. Thanks again, and keep it going man.

This play is a terran nightmare.

Nightmare's control was out of this world, even to feedback ghosts one by one before they can use EMP.

I do enjoy this kind of play from Nightmare, very technical, very clean movement.

This is evidence that High Templar is just clearly better than Disruptor against best players.

BROS ... Did nightmare just solve -PvZ- 😮 EDIT: PvT god damn it :D

This was the most rat gameplay I have ever seen, the warp prism protecting the high templar from the EMP was 2000 IQ

7 Key takeaways for Protoss: 1. Prioritize killing ghosts & medivacs. 2. Use Feedback to keep their energy low (same as killing for a battle but easier to snipe with). 3. Build 3-5 observers when not making immortals or collossi (cheaper than a scan & same build time as an overlord 18sec). 4. Don't build mass Disruptors. 5. Build High Templars instead. 6. Don't build archons until you use High Templar spells first. 7. Don't clump archons together and have them lead the charge so they take 1 full EMP without affecting nearby units. In a battle ghosts account for about 40-55% of all damage with EMP (depending on how low the HP of the Protoss army is without shields). Medivacs are the sustain so that fights can last longer than 3 stims (30 seconds). Storms quickly bring the bio low enough to get 1-2 shot by gateway units. This takes immaculate control by Protoss and can get countered still by cloaked ghosts and being out of position.

Love your videos Winter, your casting is fantastic! I went ahead and bought your announcer voice on SC2. I hope the best for you man, keep doing what you are doing.

Crazy to be up resource lost vs a terran.

Winter says trust, I trust

here's how i know i've watched too many of your videos, im humming along perfectly to the background music.

I really appreciate the directly positive coverage of Nightmare. I’m not a Protoss, but I think his play is just sick.

Now THAT was some good protoss play. Well done Nightmare!

If only winter could cast every major pro game

Love watching protoss, and especially a toss boss like this! Thnx for the bonus video :)

Thanks for the content dude, your commentary is amazing and hope you forever continue 🙏

not throwing the kitchen sink... man you made me laugh there 😂 thanks for casting my dude

Nightmare is Dark levels in controlling the race's strategy.

Anti-spoiler games are the most genius idea to come from any caster since the days Artosis cast with Tasteless

Cleanest Toss I've seen in months, honestly.

that unmerged archon floating towards the fight at 49:30 had me cackling

Wow Nightmare, amazing job! Really looking like he was playing at the top of his game, and deeply understands the matchup.

"a time of relative darkness for protoss... and not because they blink so much" dude WHERE DO YOU GET THIS ABSOLUTE FIRE FROM

We love you, Winter!

19:32 Protoss are known to taste with their feet

I'm honestly glad you remind us to like and subscribe at the beginning every time. I forget until you tell me every time.... EVERY TIME

As soon as you mentioned an "underrated" SC2 player, I knew it was NightMare. Petition to add "Hero of the Storm" to NightMare's nickname list

Templar are amazing when used right. And archons used to soak up hits for other units in a pinch. Beautiful.

Big kudos to Nightmare. What excellence! Thank you, Winter, for bringing this to our attention!

Ha, been wondering if he'll bring up the fact that Protoss don't have mouths. Been a bit. I usually use these vids to fall asleep, so I only get the early funny. Thanks man.

I was actually just watching this match up from 4 mo the ago that Winter casted. Checked my recommendations, and here it is again after the patch.

Best moment: 52:03 the mule casually walking through the battle 52:19 mule walking back is the icing on the cake

This Protoss does indeed play beautifully. (And I'm a Zerg player...)

I don't play Starcraft online, but I love to watch your and Lowko's casts. While watching them in the last months I always wondered why Protoss do not use Storms against Terran bio? It seemed to make more sense than unreliable Disruptors. Nightmare showed me that this style is possible and can be super effective. Especially in the last match we see how he is lower in supply but takes those fights like he is on even. Also he is not only dragging Templars with his main army, but juggles them in Prisms, flanks with them and sets up little ambushes. Great performance indeed!

Nightmare expands a lot compared to other protoss which helps him sustain and replenish his army extremely quickly. It's very good

SPOILER That was a cool grindy protoss style. Surprised to see it work so well. Really thought clem had it in the bag.

Winter's casting just brightens up the day 😂

Nightmare ... no the player we deserve but the Protoss we need!!

Nightmare played like a champ. His unit control was so incredibly good, especially considering against who he is doing it. Easily this week's best game of pvt of the year for me. Winter ist the goat anyway.

Wow, great matches

You know you have a good strategy if even the caster is distracted from the action

Beautiful style

he may not be the protoss we deserve, but he is the protoss we need

I love the amount of Zealots used.

AWESOME Games!!!🤙🏻 Thank you!🙏🏻

The warp prism spaz/dance LOL

The last match was an absolute banger! More Nightmare pls

Winter gotta be one of my favorite personalities of all time

Dewd...... Finally, something new... I mean it's not actually new, but they said it's old and rusty and it doesn't work anymore.... Thank you for casting ❤

Protoss was always weak when in PvT match up but these games just lit a flame of faith in Protoss in me again

Wow!!

Maybe Nightmare should change his name to EndlessWinter, cause the storms just kept coming.

“Hero take notes!” 😂😂😂

idk bout yall, but ive been liked and subbed since day 1

So very satisfying to see templar storm used in such a dominating fashion. Harkens to the SC1 days. Even more satisfying is watching Protoss storm into oblivion those filthy, filthy terrans and their poo poo bio ball of terran filth. En Taro Nightmare!

Oooo a nightmare game I love his games

That storm drop was epic

Even in the summer, I long for Winter

Amazing games winter , thanx for make my day a little bit better ❤

Officially new fav player. There's still hope for Aiur!

Finally a toss who stands a chance against terran

After watching a few hundred of your videos I thought nothing could surprise me anymore, but... YOU CAN HAVE TWO PRISMS????

colossus switch, spreading ht, ht-warp combo, killing medivacs and map scouting !!!

Thank You Om nom nom

I really think Nightmare's should be upgraded to 5 cost and 4 health. He's been on a rampage this year, putting on a much better showing than most other Protoss. The heavy focus on killing or using feedback on the medivacs is looking incredibly strong right now.

Winter you need to teach a math class fr, i would always watch

Great games.

IN WINTER WE TRUST!

Winter is comming and brings storms and salt

i dont play this game but have watched many many videos, that first game was probably one of the most entertaining game ive seen so far!

Veri NAJSU first game!

OP toss, to many perks for them

Nightmare's macro on that last game was insane

Hey Winter, thanks for the great content I love these series with the anti spoiler bonus game and seeing how they fair against other players with similar play styles. You are a cut above the other SC II casters. One day I want to learn how to play the game before it is retired for good! 😂

Love how i misjudged the length.. wont be spoiling

Oh it's Nightmare, I've been wondering for weeks because he doesn't have his name on the card

Wow nice games :)

SPOILER: 34:35 HOW DID HE KNOW???? I was looking at the second game and thinking "how does byun come back from this there's no way, it has to be some terran bullshit"... But ig we have the clem games for that, you can never end PvT without disappointment :> EVEN MORE SPOILER: nvm, this is peak toss performance from nightmare

wow there were so many extremely thoughful moments of army micro in this one. the way he pushes the terran to the stairs w/ chargelots then retreats w/ them so they can get their shields back without terran return fire. the way he positions the collossueses. and my god the high templar usage made me wanna switch back to protoss

i feel like the purpose of the colossus is to soak viking shots for the templar prism

Great vid to take my E to. 👍

I think we got a new best protoss. slicing through those two terran is no easy feat

Nice🎉🎉

Frisky Dingo ☃️❄️☃️ Jimmy on point 🌩️🌩️🌩️ 👀😈👀

Trust me broodling…. Winter, fix nightmare card - his name is missing at the bottom

next patch: EMP size increased by 500% and cost 5 energy
