MASSIVE Attack! | CNSL 7 

6:50 Artosis becoming a werewolf

When casters talk about a wall in sc2, they might mention the building being used, or the tight timing with which the structure was placed. Scarcely is there discussion to be had about the ideas behind the placement. This is granular to Brood War but it is of course helped by the deep pool of strange maps as well. As a toss, it is both baffling and interesting how many different wall-ins I'll see throughout any given tournament, with players approaching the maps differently, and also affected by how each player may want to approach the overall matchup. I remember when Invader was in tournaments and on ladder, I had a hard time making a satisfying wall against lings for that map. Then, watching the tournaments, I saw vastly different approaches among the pros, and none of them were the same as whatever I had ended up doing at the time. You can reasonably discern their different thoughts when you look at their setup, so I'd staunchly agree with you Arty that "more is more" in this case. Maybe some people prioritize being able to "learn to play the game quickly" over being able to "learn the game forever". Brood War does such a good job of the latter even when you remove the execution aspect from it. Kind of insane. Thanks for the casts Arty :)

Someday RT you need to make an in-depth, 2 hour long video detailing everything there is know about how the 3 races wall across various maps and the logic behind the decision making.

Massive attack?? Great band❤ love ya arty!!! Ty!!

Cabt wait to watch Artosis cast the new Bw vs Sc2 mod!

Dewalt is really impressing me with the quality of his play though. I agree Yoon is favored but Dewalt has just been so fun to watch that I'm really rooting for him.

Thank you for these amazing casts Artosis.

Obligatory engagement

Loving the casts!!!

More of these series please. GG!

The way buildings can be positioned is nice because it adds a layer of expertise

i'm getting shorted with these 17 minute videos RT, i need MOAR

It seemed like Dewalt waited too long to expand. If he'd had more income earlier, I think he could have held. He spent too much army early on and denied himself the expand.

Came from the GSL straight here

crazy to think that they would balance an OP ability or unit with another to counter instead of nerfing as they do now, really made this game exciting.

I like that the matches are split into several videos.

Honestly I also don't want CSNL to end, these games have been super enjoyable to watch.

I did it! I finally caught up with CNSL :D

Plum color looks pretty sick on Zerg.

12:08 AYE! Would be pirate RT 😂

TY RT

Dewalt FIGHTING!

Committed to the comments!

@ArtosisCasts You should check out the ASL-GSL collab event that puts BW units, buildings & tech on SC2 and playing against their "modern" counterparts. Edit : It's an SC2 mod.

Thing DeWalt ideas were pretty good. Also Yoon kind of a genius fake drop. maybe if zerg let protoss breath. A fleet because and just pop overlords with fast beefy scputs

4:50 That's the reason I love playing SC2 casual multiplayer and singleplayer, but prefer watching SC1 for competitive play.

Much more engagement

Sc2 walling is definitely better. You actually know when something is a wall, but you also have gaps that some units can't fit through. Think of one hex gaps for protoss that archons get stuck behind

the nuance of BW walling is a cool feature and I enjoy it as a spectator

Proper wall-ins and cannon placement aren't annoying they are nuanced.

I think skill expression is good but not if it introduces RNG in terms of spawn locations. If a spawn location is worse than another then I'd rather have all buildings line up symmetrically (or at least let one rotate them) to avoid that problem.

lets go dewalt

11:54 The word is "versus," not "verse."

I second that

ggs

i mean it quirk; it matter taste whether you like or not

All hail the algorithm

My god hydras just melt goons.

Maybe I’m the only one here that wants this but, I think it would be cool if we got some team games? 2v2’s I think would be nice. If I’m the only one on this island oh well :p

I'm rooting for Dwight

The word you're looking for Artosis is "Player Agency" and "skill cap".

Spoiler filler: Personally, I didn't like that Dewalt stopped making probes so early at around 28-33 he really slowed down production. For a Nexus first this didn't make sense to me...keep in mind I'm a complete noob at this game and basically only watch but I prefer styles like Mihu that never fails to continuously make workers until approximately the number desired is reached unless there is a very specific reason for the cut(s).

Nice, new vid, me like!

What's the lore on Arty meeting his wife? Odd question, but, there was a video I watched where he talked about having kids in Korea. So was this Canadian (who stole our man from us) in Korea? What are the odds of that? Being an e-sports master, it's odd to think about the opportunity to meet women, particularly western women. Love the CNSL coverage, btw.

broodwar is flawed and that makes the game best rts ever made

:)

cool beans

Sack

ye olde fake drop

fake drop!

Comment harrass

There are a lot of things that make Brood War great. Esoteric and nonsensical walling rules are not on the list

This recent ASL iand this overall false idea that Protoss is overpowered and Starcraft Brood War has me really turned off lately. Protoss is clearly the worse race by far. Yeah Mini, Snow, and Bisu didnt win ASL. But they are the 3 most talented players none-the-less.
