      That's because that's really only possible with Protoss and we don't see many of their games. It's a terrible race.
      Protoss is slow, building's can't do anything. Sitting ducks.
      Zerg can survive. Buildings are cheap, drones burrow, buildings heal, and static defense can move. They're also the ones winning base trades as they're faster.
      Terran can repair, lift off and pick up SCVs and peace out, and spawn mules for free

      Blizzard shareholders need every last penny they can get out of the company, they don't care about a game without microtransactions it doesn't make them much money so they will probably make a mobile version of sc2 and put 5000 different micro transactions, we will see in like a couple years.

    Mistake from Creator in end, when he use teleport too late and all Nexus just down, and he understand it when he saw what noone dont teleportated at base. I think i can understand what he feel in this moment, really. Very terrible feeling when you just already won, but one mistake just multiplies everything by zero. I haven't seen such emotions Korean pro gamers for a very long time at 29:30

    I think it was a good decision to not fully wall the front in that proxy hatch game. If he had walled, Dark's ravagers would have been able to snipe it from the outside with no resistance

    • @floofy5529
      @floofy5529 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Seemed like any wall-off would've been easily sniped as your units are no longer in range to attack when your buildings are in the way.
      It'll help a lot with ling run by's but only assuming they go in the direction of the wall without ravagers.

    • @themavrandbrickashaw5511
      @themavrandbrickashaw5511 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      There was no resistance to mount. Creator had to stay near his shield batteries so he couldn’t push up past the wall. I think the bigger mistake was letting the lings in through the 3rd. And pulling probes.

      @@SC2HL Are there even any other channels providing similar content as you do? Serious question. I like that it's shortened and that you upload frequently and current games. That is exactly what I'm looking for, if not, I'd watch the VODs on the source channels I guess. You're already filling a niche that nobody else goes for, at least I don't know anyone. Are you really still reeling in new viewers? This game is over a decade old. People who go for starcraft are not new to the internet.

    • @SC2HL
      @SC2HL  ปีที่แล้ว +28

      The official VOD channels do get many more views!
      ESL Archives is the one for ESL content. The Afreeca GSL TH-cam channel also does really well.
      What I focus on with SC2HL is:
      - Cut down long games/series by 50% of the time
      - Curated content, I watch almost all content and make sure videos on here and the best out there, plus all content uploaded has permission.
      - Different video series: Top 5 plays, greatest of all time, kings of StarCraft.
      We do pay ESL a license of sorts to be able to use their content. Basically a cut of all revenue generated.

    18:00 don't know why zerg players avoid using sneaky creep advances, putting a tumor under the ramp near the gold minerals just outside the enemy vision gives so much creep spread and if you manage to leap frog a tumor directly into the mineral line you're forcing an observer out faster than normal
