Queens (Ensnare) vs Valkyries! | CNSL 7 

What a game! Arty running to tell wifetosis about it is so cute lol

What an amazing game. SC: BW is a goddamn masterpiece, you can still see fun unorthodox strategies like this decades after it's released.

Bishop TvZ games really do feel like a completely different game and i love it.

Brood war in the morning always sets the tone for a good day

Absolute nail-biter ending.

I love how excited Arty gets with these type of games. Really contagious! Thanks for the cast

21:23 on my first watch i am REALLY surprised by the lack of greater spire for devourer. I guess it's one of those "anyone can build a bridge that stands, only an engineer can build a bridge that barely stands" he must think he doesn't need them, and therefore shouldn't get them. Wild game so far, thanks RT!

What a crazy game. I feel like miso had a too big of a bank for a while and let his advantage slip away

Mind blowing game here...I was shouting at my monitor quite a bit just watching this one.

Thanks for the cast Artosis, amazing game! I have been wondering for some time now about CNSL vs ASL, the thing is that I enjoy CNSL way more than ASL and I think I figured out the reason. In ASL we do get the players of such extreme level and mechanical execution, especially in Ro16 and further, that they almost do not make any mistakes at this level. That leads to games that are nearly perfectly executed most of the time, and while it is amazing to watch it gets a bit boring, because all of the games start looking more or less the same. When we take CNSL (players that are top 56-28) - they do occasionally make some minor mistakes, which breaks the mundane perfect execution, those mistakes are not game ending by any means but they lead to a type of a game we can witness in ASL only like once or twice per season. Anyways, so happy to see some nice BroodWar, thanks again!

So exited after yesterday game!

20:04 lol you sound so happy :)

You know Artosis I watch your videos every night to fall asleep. Now hearing your voice makes me sleepy.

So many of these games in this tournament are really really awesome. Only 14 mins in and its been sick. Thanks for the casts Artosis!!

Great game, so glad these CNSL games are being covered in English. Thank you RT! (Like this if you read it on the toilet)

Perfect game! Bishop is a beast, fight until very end!

Jesus I REALLY thought Miso was going to lose there wow. Best game we've had in a while!

great game, 2 port wraith to valks to BCs, love it!

ASMR channel gave me a hearty chuckle

Holy shit the honesty with the wraith micro that's so real.

Love this tournament, thanks for all the great and exciting casts RT!

Love this one. It's always fun when we get to see something new.

This year has absolutely crushed for crazy Broodwar games so far 🤟🏼

Wow that was so fun! I hope Bishop can take the next one so we can see more!

If this was an ASL Ro.8/4/2 game, and it could be, the crowd would be screaming. Huge plays. If only Bishop took a little more care of his BCs, repair, earlier resto and yamato... but good on Miso for making every second wasted stack up.

Insane game! Best one for the month!!!

Yes. Defilers can fit through the assimilator gaps when while 1 is up. *It's been a pleasure seeing Miso's abrupt and successful change in play style:* *-Drones!* Just throttling back aggression a little might be enough to get him into ASL. I hope he embraces it, Larva had a similar style switch to defensive, macro oriented play, while improving micro enough in ZvZ to take it all. *-Queen!* Experimenting with underused units in games, love it! Although landing the ensnare ended up making him dive on the wraiths, and forget the trailing valk group, and way he dealt with them the previous game, almost very similar to dark archon micro. *-Spores and sunks!* Liberal use of static defense as a tool to control area and buy time to rally a response, either defend the base, or remake endangered tech. Just that one spore in the main, made Bishop tiptoe his 2 BCs to engage the nearby, anti-drop scourge. Just very impressed with Miso's bold, liberal, protoss-esque use of static defense at expansions, being able to switch between aggressive and defensive army compositions is unrefined area for zerg improvement, a fundamental, but rarely recognized skill necessary for Terran to succeed. Vultures and tanks are continually switching between holding a position with a deathgrip using defender's advantage and rapidly moving out in tung-tung-po. All the different ways and places to lay spider mines for different purposes. *-Droplords!* probably should keep to 4 units or less inside for attacking drops. 8 lings in an overlord takes too long to unload, high risk of losing many units at once if sniped. I think a few sets droplords worth 200 minerals (between the droplord and 4 upgraded cracklings) could do devastating amounts of damage as a second independent attack force, either forcing defender to reposition, or raid on production/expansions, or as a flanking force to pin in an army that naturally separates exposing favorable ling targets at rear of army. *When did Bishop co-opt Leta for being the 2 port wraith guy, lol.* He needs to ween himself off that addictive muta micro, before he gets stuck in that Leta stylistic hell. I'm surprised he's not getting buried with surprise, burrowed speedling busts. especially with the heavy, blind investment in valks. Queen, ensnare, and 3-4 spores would kill any wraith counterattacks on zerg bases, don't need to use complicated air- unit tactical timings using ogre zerg. Can u imagine attacking 1 spore with ensnared wraiths? you can't do it, instinctually, it's too scary and slow, soaking up all that spore damage, even if you manage to not lose a paper plane.

Beautiful play by both, zerg and terran both got to shine

My new favorite game of the tournament!

Probably the most exciting TvZ I've ever seen!

One of the few instances where "it's going to take a minute" is accurate in both the literal and figurative senses...

absolutely fantastic match!

THIS GAME HAD IT ALL!!!

It was the most rock, paper, scissors game I have ever seen.

Wildest TvZ I've seen since KePSA days

Previous match factory dropped at 2:48 vs 2:18 this game, so a full 30s difference.

Crazy game!

extraordinary game

“OOOH MY GOOOD!!!” 😂 arty is the best

What a freaking AWESOME GAME!!

Game just got better as it went. Nice

Crazy fun and awesome game! Not even mad about the outcome.

Seems like this could have been in the bag if Bishop expanded on the islands earlier :( was really looking for him grabbing that win

Nice game! These Wraths seem to have potential.

I like how Z built only 1 Queen for 1 Ensnare and basically intentionally sacked it afterwards, when you could still keep it around for Parasite scouting at least...

Huh, zerg was sleeping when BC wiped out his tech structures and scourges, and still won.

What an insane game!

Yamato and restoration would’ve ABSOLUTELY won the game 25mins in

RT spent the entire second half of the game following the bc's and gushing about how great and cool they are. Had no idea what Miso was doing until he won

hahaha I knew Arty was an enjoyer of wraiths just like us, but at the same time a wraith sceptic (understandably and for his own good). But don't forget the words of thy Lord! "Be doers (of the wraith) and not hearers only". Amen.

Great game!

Excellent !!

Such a good series

Cool game. But did they both play the lategame with one hand?

Anti spoiler comment here. 🤝👌👀 18:57 Werewolf time (You gotta love that)

wow. I started to root for Bishop this game

15:18 the map kind of looks like a dragoon. The parts that have been explored make it look like one.

Literally paused to go back and see the timing... Fact started at 2:49 in the prev game just ftr Arty. Alright now to finish watching this one.

At the end there he really needed to be attacking with the BCs... Seemed like he was just waiting and falling behind with no mining. 1 science vessel and 1 BC could have taken him an island again.

Overlord ASMR...I like it.

What a great game.

gods I love bish0p so much

Bish0p is my favorite player but Misu played really clever this match. He set multiple traps that I haven't seen before. I also think he made Bish0p to doubt himself with early agression. Bish0p didn't look that agressive early on.

that was sick

What a game!

Awesome game

"a flight of valkyries" Dxracer

Amazing game

Unreal game.

I remembered Light and beast's battle in Troy. Insane amt of BCs and Devourers XD

holy shit that was a good one!

briliant

That was a good game

Very entertaining game

Battle of the Titans.

Please send a link when you make the ASMR channel of Wraiths one shotting Overlords

Wow this one actually gave me chills.. most of the time I'm just faking

Damn this series is making me hotter than Bowser's Big Castle

Bishop had air control for 20 minutes but didn’t take island bases. Cost him the game. Fun one though.

Amazing game wow. Nice try Bishop, but not getting Yamato was definitely a huge mistake.

Go bishop!!’ ❤

If they ever patch broodwar they should make refineries, extractors and assimilators all the same size. Then allow all races to simply produce their gas building over a destroyed assimilator.

Is it even possible to go into a long end game if opening wraiths? I feel like you either kill them early or transition into a bio + wraith like JyJ did in ASL and win in mid game.

Isn't the ghost with lockdown pretty underused too?

God I love Zerg

That was so weird - crazy Bc demonstration. But wth was Miso doing with 4.5K in bank and not producing nearly enough of anything

early restoration and later yamato. Would have pushed bishop over the edge and he'd of won.

Nothing brightens your day more than 10 muta getting annihilated by valks. I literally played a game last night where I got Yamato to kill defilers and restore for plagued bc's. More econ, yamato and firebats and bishop would have had it.

Holy sheeeeee

Who doesn't love air battles?

Z tried so hard to throw but couldn't quite pull off the L against T air.

ggs

Dark Swarm works on Buildings????

You've got to have 2 brains to play like Bishop.

"this game had it all" ghost:"am i a joke to you?"

come on arty, you are not exiting about wraith micro? seems to be really fun.

All those 1hp vessels getting caught by just a couple mutalisks. Every zerg players' dream

What a game man if bishop had Yamato n just focused a lil more on economy he woulda won that but he just slowed down towards the end

Wait... Is Troy a good map?? Lol jks. But insane game though

Gg
