Long StarCraft 2 games at their best in this BO7 grand final between Reynor and Stats! Full tournament information : liquipedia.net... SOCIALS : / wardiii www.wardi.tv / warditv / warditv / warditv
I really enjoyed watching this.Apart from glaive opener , its all just great macro play by Stats with the standard true and tested Protoss units. I missed that. No more of sneaky tricky plays, just great macro and leveraging the Protoss power.
wardii, love your contents. may i suggest you to add anti spoiler content in the video? just add a blank random 10-20 min at the end of each of your video to avoid viewers to guest the actual length it. i saw some youtubers do it the other day for gaming tournaments.
23:41 Skill units vs. no skill units yikes when the player has enough skill to do it :D 24:44 Then Reynor shows the only skill you can with melee units: good positioning and surrounds. These players are such a gift to SC.
Wardi long ago I commented about there were too many adds, I'm glad to see its not like that anymore, thanks. I'm a hard guy to get a like from but you earned it
Watching stats is usually amazing, but the constant 1.5k+ floating minerals in game 2 really bugged me. Just build a few more gates/production - there was plenty of time in-between fights to do that and rebuild a bigger army. It seems odd for a Code S player to miss such fundamentals.
my guess is stat trying to have a bank of money incase reynor actually make a build switch, you know like muta switch maybe, and once stats scouted it, he would be very ready
protoss players usually lack basic skills in comparison to players of similar mmr in the otehr races as the natural power of their units negates quantityb of units, so they can be poor macro players but still win fights. zest is the same, terrible macro, but the amove carries him through
Game two it seemed like Reynor was like "I'm going banes this game" like how a diamond player might decide that and no matter what happens or what the game goes like he sticks with "I'm going banes"
Raynor was ahead mid-game but couldn't kill Stats with 3 bases protoss. After that, Raynor played mass lings banes, Stats realized and went pure archons chargelots (no immortals). All of Raynor's mid-game advantage was gone in late game and he was drained to die.
Reynor is really only strong against Serral. Because of Zerg dominance last year, Reynor practiced mainly against Zergs, specifically against Serral. He may have impressive win rate against Serral but he loses alot against top players from other race. After the balance patches, he has much to catch up especially against other races.
Thank you for beeing here Wardi. I was watching a WinterSC video... good lord that bouncing thing in the videos is distracting and grating. Thank you for your style.
Zealots, stalkers, Hydras etc. ...... are picked away , so they are going down. This casting style must be called WYSIWYS? (What you see is what you say) anyway 1:30 games feels as only if 5 mins passed.
Nope, its just Stats playing better in the early game to get so far ahead for storms to be available before banelings. In a normal game, there would be mass banes before storms are ready and would very deadly against protoss. By the time protoss gets storm, Zerg would have already transitioned into late game. This is why in the latest patch banelings were nerf.
if zergs do not find a way to shut down the medivac and the prisims they will get owned Raynor doing the same thing over and over again specially with the adepts made him lose the game.
Wardi I think you are aware of the results of these games before you cast them, and that is influencing your commentary. I wouldn't care, except that I think it makes it obvious at times who is going to win a game.Like in the second game, Reynor was actually in a good spot, but you seemed to be very down on his chances, and sure enough he made mistakes and threw a good spot.
I think it's probably just my lack of belief in calling ZvP positions. I've seen Zergs in this spot a lot where it's like yeah I think this is good, but what's the actual killing blow? Idk I just watched it back skipping through and I was indeed a bit negative about his position - I didn't know the result of this at all though, it was a series recommended to me by the people that ran the tournament. I just knew it was a long ZvP :D
@@WardiTV maybe you are just better at reading the game than I am, which isn't that surprising as I am D2 Terran so hardly a specialist! I think it's useful in casts during a lull in action to recap advantages like workers, map vision, tech , upgrades etc. I see a lot of casters like T&A end up focussing on a certain aspect like an early game mistake by a player that actually isn't that impactful as game goes on, Cure v Innovation was like that where they had him written off on maps he won. Keep up the good work, thanks for the content
I suppose you missed out on the blink micro, prism micro, forcefields, splitting from banelings and defending against ling runbys while all that is happening, but oh well zergs like you can't appreciate any of these intricacies with your ling bane a-moving and bile spamming
If you are refering to the glaive opener, there seems to be plenty of Zergs that shut it down, so it seems its something Reynor is lacking.Or stats does it particularly good but i dont see antyihgn special.

You’re here too!
@@fabiancheah2426 you know me from somewhere?
yes, I do like this
just play commercials or something

Stats plays so well, maybe he is back in his top form
I love you Wardi, sometimes when I nod off while watching your channel, your soothing voice makes me think I'm watching a cricket match.
1:09:10 is like watching one of those videos of a cell being eaten by another cell.
I was looking for this series, thanks
Glad you found it :D
Stats with an insane play, man this game is amazing thanks for uploading these games wardi❤️
:D Thanks for watching them!!
Stats is sooo good and such a good guy. Good games
I heard he has 12 fingers and 4 thumbs.
As a Protoss player myself when i used to play, Stats was my biggest inspiration. Hes insane.
Wardi: This is so many banes!
Ad: This is a tomato.
so many ads wardi! so happy for you! i didn't skip any of them at all!
during second game when stats floated 1k minerals the entire game, i was screaming "build couple more gateways"
49:55 Lol that's an interesting way to take out DT's without detection! XD Creative!
Wardi long ago I commented about there were too many adds, I'm glad to see its not like that anymore, thanks. I'm a hard guy to get a like from but you earned it
I haven't made any changes to the amount of ads I put in videos :s
Thanks for the cast Wardi.

@@Chimpy_Mc_Gibbon yeah sure amove ahahahahaha
@@Chimpy_Mc_Gibbon yes and one of the best protoss in the world lack basic skills xd
Game two it seemed like Reynor was like "I'm going banes this game" like how a diamond player might decide that and no matter what happens or what the game goes like he sticks with "I'm going banes"
Remember when glaive openers meant adepts didn’t mean adepts were overpowered when they just shaded and underpowered the rest of the time?
Why wasn't Serral in this tournament?
Serral doesn't play small online events
I remember EVERYONE played Protoss!! Not so much anymore
Aaaand Stats singing "All I wanna do is🥁🥁🥁🥁🤩 psi storm your army"
41:40 should be clickbait for "One ling to rule them all"
Spoiler when I hovered over the video to kill, showed which race won xP
Christ Reynor got tooled. someone offer that kid a hug
Adepts and storms feel like hacks to me. How did Reynor lose game 2?
Power Overwhelming!
Raynor was ahead mid-game but couldn't kill Stats with 3 bases protoss. After that, Raynor played mass lings banes, Stats realized and went pure archons chargelots (no immortals). All of Raynor's mid-game advantage was gone in late game and he was drained to die.
Reynor's weakness = Glaives

1:22:12 "My kingdom for a storm!!" XD
I just realised when wardi does not show a terran, either the series is really good or it's the finals. But I'm assuming this series is both.
Makes sense, seeing how underpowered Terran is now
@@REDRAGON12345 watch gsl.
REDRAGON12345 hahaha... Rly?
@@peterchui1964 I do. Watch GSL if you don't think Terran is underpowered
Wasnt the gsl Final a TVT? O wait
Reynor doesn't play spell caster?
Great casting. Keep it up 👍
I wonder why there is no Lurker.
The End was so sad.. even if u play Protoss :D
1:09:04 Reynor : *Press f2 + A*
Thank you for beeing here Wardi. I was watching a WinterSC video... good lord that bouncing thing in the videos is distracting and grating. Thank you for your style.
a best of 7 yesss :)
My thoughts exactly :)!
Zealots, stalkers, Hydras etc. ...... are picked away , so they are going down. This casting style must be called WYSIWYS? (What you see is what you say) anyway 1:30 games feels as only if 5 mins passed.
Yeah man i got mad respect for what Wardi is doing with all of this but i think the casting can be a bit dry.
Damn you Zest, you ruined PvZ!
The zerg salt is strong in the comment section for this one :)
Storm just to strong
Nope, its just Stats playing better in the early game to get so far ahead for storms to be available before banelings. In a normal game, there would be mass banes before storms are ready and would very deadly against protoss. By the time protoss gets storm, Zerg would have already transitioned into late game. This is why in the latest patch banelings were nerf.
if zergs do not find a way to shut down the medivac and the prisims they will get owned Raynor doing the same thing over and over again specially with the adepts made him lose the game.
gg's
sooo boring to watch. PVZ is all about early glaives and seems to be OP like the sanctuary-imortal push back in hots
Serral would have 4-0 stats
Doubtful

Súper vendidos, stats es mucho mejor, jugo pésimo en comparación a otras veces, que triste que pase esto en starcraft.
Protoss gameplay is literally a-move and storms. So boring
I suppose you missed out on the blink micro, prism micro, forcefields, splitting from banelings and defending against ling runbys while all that is happening, but oh well zergs like you can't appreciate any of these intricacies with your ling bane a-moving and bile spamming
That's kind of lame having 1 build with 2 variations that can almost not be countered. Not a healthy Meta.
I recall the dark times where every single Z player build hydra and banes to throw them at P 3rd base...
It can be countered, stats just outplayed reynor completely.
There is a reason why the build is not popular in every PvZ match, it's easily countered. Raynor seemed to struggle against it IDK why
If you are refering to the glaive opener, there seems to be plenty of Zergs that shut it down, so it seems its something Reynor is lacking.Or stats does it particularly good but i dont see antyihgn special.
Grandma plays better than Reynor
Wut? I must have missed her World's Finals win, would you mind linking it?
Reynor was in the Blizzcon Finals last year lol.
No terrans? How is that for a change of pace :) Thanks for the cast Wardi
I know, right? Check me out uploading PvZ ;)
sshhh. don't invoke salty terran tear
