Check out Our new Project FGC Storyteller - www.youtube.com/@fgcstoryteller & My personal SC2 Channel - www.youtube.com/@Gaming_Essays Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:16 NaNiWa vs HyuN 05:33 Scarlett vs DRG 12:09 SoS vs Bunny

young harstem absolutely losing it with joy the front row of the scarlett clip is so beautiful

i love what a good sport drg was. he thought she made a mistake and offered a re instead of just being like oh opponent chose the wrong race free win let's go. though of course it didn't work out for him. but still decent offer and good sportsmanship.

Scarlett's smile after her win with protoss is priceless, and the crowd cheering for her makes it such a beautiful moment. Ty for sharing

11:30 Harstem jumping out his chair cheering for Scarlett xD

Lol the captain at 11:40 was so hyped

HyuN had gone for 3 hatch before pool all games because it was a counter to the way Naniwa usually opened. So his opening was calculated.

Another balls of steel moment for sure was the classic blink dt gamble vs rogue

I remember all of these games. But... in 30-40 years, long after I stopped watching E-sports... on my deathbed, I will still remember Scarlett picking Toss. "I Protoss" is burned into my mind. Lives rent free in my head. Thank you Sasha for my favorite E-sports and sports memory of all time.

That Scarlet switch was legendary amazing XD

The scarlett/drg story is especially funny for me. Literally minutes before this match, I hit her on ladder in a ZvP.... on Frost... lmao (10P/5Z instead of 7P/5Z though). I thought it was a fake despite having the [Acer] clan tag (there were a bunch back then). Was getting brutalized when she suddenly GG'd out. Was confused as hell but figured w.e, it's a fake and they probably botched the follow up or just didn't know they were ahead. When all of a sudden, my clan discord exploded with people spamming about scarlett and dropping the MLG stream link. Popped that open and practically lost my shit lool. Watching DRG get clapped right after I did, and in the exact same way was pretty hilarious lol

Harstem happy reaction at 11:30

I actually hadn't seen the SoS one! Phenomenal choice!

This was the glory days for Starcraft 2. Truely.

Scarlett: toss imba *[plays off-race as toss and proves it]* Crazy stuff back in the day.

Love that Scarlett moment, and Tasteless + Artosis casts were everything!

I remember seeing that SOS moment when it happened and it's still the craziest for me. The strategy is objectively terrible and it would absolutely NEVER work again, but in that moment it was what SOS needed to clench the series. I couldn't put it better myself than Artosis - "he's an alien".

sOs (not SoS) is not the best SC2 player in the history, but he just might be the brainiest one. NaNiWa is probably the craziest SC2 pro player (Life being the most talented & insane one at the same time). This Scarlett game is so much fun to watch, thank you!

11:29 Harstem cheers. (very front 2nd guy from the right)

Дружище, спасибо тебе огромное за твой труд, за вклад в развитие (хотя, в 2023 это скорее поддержание на ИВЛ) сообщества старкрафт! Эта игра вдохновляет меня с детства, со времён Brood War,и сейчас я, взрослый дядька с работой, ребёнком и ворохом своих проблем всерьёз размышляю о возможности возрождения RTS как жанра. И это всё благодаря таким ребятам как ты, uThermal, Lowko, Lambo, Harstem, Artosis, Mana и многим-многим другим, кто в матчах, ВоДах, кастах и прочих активностях не даёт раскиснуть и развалиться на атомы нашему прекрасному сообществу. А по поводу возрождения RTS - я программист, разработчик, и где-то в душе гейм-дизайнер, и мне есть что сказать про возможное будущее жанра ;)

SOS casually spending 450$ for a probe 😂 and it WINS😂😂😂😂😂

What a great channel. Thank you for putting this together!

Haha, love the "ok.. Ok... OK!" when sos puts the Nexus down, lol.

11:30 Yo is that Harstem jumping up in excitement?

Great video. $O$ was the most feared player at one point, he can all-kill with Dark Templar strategies only.

Long live the probe rush.

That first guys' pupils were as wide as saucepans!!!!

what a trip down memory lane this was awesome

NaNiWa, Scarlett and SoS really have balls. Awesome plays.

Naniwa is super chill I remember him coming and 1v1:ing a bunch of people in our amateur clan, I got to play against him! Ofc I got wrecked

Best esports game ever (besides SC:BW of course). Cool vid, brings back memories!

oh man, thank you for making this video. brings back good memories.

Great upload!

When you see Harstem jump up in the air in the crowd pumping his fist at 11:30

These are great, thank you

I wanna see the Classic vs Bunny Blink DT game now! :D

Very entertaining, thanks!

Thank you for highlighting my personal favorite Scarlett moment. (Yes, I enjoy this more than any of the vs Bomber games, though those were OUTSTANDING of course).

11:41 off race on elimination match?! crazy, lol!!

How do the truly great and entertaining players make it look so easy? Great video. Cheers.

We Also need the Huk? vs IDRA match where he forfeited to illusion Void Rays and then became even saltier !!!

Nexus Probe Pylon DT, the true meta strat lmao.

Oh hey that voice talking about Naniwa's probe rush sounds famililar.

Oh my goodness Starcraft 2 is such a fun game! These were great pulls!

sOs was so fun to watch. legend

He didn't refuse to play any game he just didnt try beside why be forced to do something knowing that its pointless i would say its good sportsmanship as hes not trying to waste anyones time on a pointless match

Im amazed! Nani was balzy, bt Scarlet was just unbeleivable!!!

wonderful video

Scarlett's drone drive into Rogue's base was also really good. She executed it perfectly against Rogue of all opponents. Next tournament, Rogue admitted he is scared of Scarlett now.

I’ve rewatched the Scarlett clip so many times it’s just incredible haha!

I can't remember who it was against, but Scarlett once played Protoss in a tournament and covered the map in Stasis Wards.

"Scarlett play Terran" that viewer cracked me up 😂

Game 2 just goes to show how bad Day9 was as a caster, while protoss has a higher army supply and worker supply he kept saying "DRG is about to overwhelm", what an awful casting performance.

s0s is the real GOAT if you measure it differently, especially if you remember his giant very long macro games. For a long time he won so many tournaments with his crazy plays and fundamental skills.

sOs was always my favourite to watch, always thinking outside the box. Bro has 200iq fr

- У Скарлетт шпиль! - Где? Я не вижу на карте! - Ты не понял. У Скарлетт... ШПИЛЬ!

Harstem so proud of his fellow protoss player known as Scarlett

this sOs strat is so sick I've never seen it.

@6:16, Is that Sean on the left?

Wonder if bunny could have tried killing the DTs shooting at his own units with his tanks thus hitting the DTs with splash damage. Especially when they attack a building that might work out. And using workers you can even "sort of" track a DT - even though you need to be quite quick to actually hit it that way. But well they have like 300apm so 5 klicks per second...

"To confuse the enemy, you must confuse your allies first!"

Scarlett playing like she's on an EVO main stage

SoS was one of the few protoss that kept it entertaining in GSL.

Day9 its been some time since he did some SC2 content

Naniwa legend 😂🎉

Fantastic

Nothing would beat Idra rage quit leaving the game when he thought he saw an army that didn't exist

Harstem cameo at 11:30

Next time do a top 10 :D

i love this channel

It's interesting seeing these old maps given how different they are now. Also Scarlett is a motherF***king G!

If the map offers the possibility to play something like that, then you don't have to be surprised like a baboon gone wild, because that's unfortunately the case

SOS what is going on in his head? The madness of such a strat. Unbelievable.

14:07 it takes 3 shots to oneshot ?!

He even mashed a wrong keyboard and he still won the fight.

Life proxxy hatching Taeja. But we can't talk about that anymore I guess.

What year are we in?

Can someone please explain that sos strat?

nice

2014 Protoss imbalance killed the game. The 100.000$ PvP tournament was a shame for SC2. It never recovered from it.

scarlet playing toss. Imagine a zerg player micro on toss... thats just doubly op. Proves a point too, toss is simply too simple.

Could a StarCraft player explain to me why that 3rd game was a gg due to those two invis units? Was the terran player not able to ever make anything that detected them?

Just recently Reynor picked Protoss vs Serral and won... He didnt win the series tho. :D That Scarlett win reminded me of that.

Billions of lings doing zero damage to stalkers

I'm surprised there are no replays of MVP's games

Cool

What a great way to prove the imbalance by Scarlett :)

I miss those times tbh.

You didn’t get Has’ mass oracles??

back in the days Protoss was super OP

That scarlett win is so stupid 😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉 congrats. She's awesome. Hilarious. I get why they patched protoss so much.

Florencio invented the nexus into their base and then recall.

If Bunny hit his own units with the siege tanks he couldve killed the dark templar with splash dmaage

It's still weird to see Scarlett in bright lighting.

Imagine losing a pro match to a 2 gate zealot rush.. wouldn't kill a diamond zerg these days

ngl @7:25 really had he me questioning what a female is.

damn i miss tartosis

I like how most of the cool games are before they made everyone start with 12 workers, effectively getting rid of like 70% of the strategy in the game.

scarlett as a protoss ??? o_O

Incredible to see how bad pro players were back in the old days lol.
