As a newb getting into this game for the first time, your videos have given me the strength to beat the very hard bots in versus! Your channel has made me fall in love with this game again after not playing since I was literally 10 playing SC1. Thank you Winter!
It’s crazy I look at the whole tournament, and because SC2 is 1 player instead of a team, first place in sc2 has the highest single person prize of any game there
@@The_Bartender00 they never have prize pools that rival SC because the South Korean govt boosted the popularity of comp SC above any other competitive game in history aside from DotA
Street Fighter 6 also had the big Million dollar grand prize at last year's Capcom Cup to celebrate its release. I beleive next one is also set to be 1M but a bit smaller of total prize pool for 2nd,3rd etc
Think its technically still split between the org they're signed with and such or other stuff, it's still handily 6 figures but don't think they take home all 7 - I mean the greatest of all time just barely scrape 7 figures over their whole careers
I love watching SC2 only when Winter is casting it I try watching the tournament from other sources and it was just not the same without Winter's humour man
Same here as well. He has the perfect blend of in-depth commentary and extremely witty humor. His passion for the game, and respect for the players, is also a joy to behold.
An extra long winter cast for a cool match-up between players is what I love to see! Hope you get to cast some of the matches that take place in the EWC proper.
As expected Shin started by running head first into the wall. But he kept his Shin up. And cause a lot of Probe-lems for the Wall who slowly crumbled. Ironically in the end, his own disruptors, disrupted his chances of winning. So as physics agrees, a wall cannot move, and can't go to the championship. Great casting Winter!
"Showtime backed up against the 'himself'" bruh this is why I love Winter's videos. The wordplay is great, I wonder if any of this is scripted or he's just that quick off the cuff.
Great casting - I mean commentating - as always Winter. Thanks so much. I like the recent trend of wearing a jacket too, which adds to the image of being a commentator vs a 'mere' caster too.
1:06:40 “It’s harder with two hands! That’s what… never mind.” Hahaha I literally disliked the video just so I could hit like again. I know that doesn’t help you with the algorithm but that ad-lib was hilarious!
I'm really curious what is to the right of you when you cast that you look at when you seem to be talking to someone else. Is it a poster of something, or a pile of stuffies?
The correct plural of nexus is nexuses, or alternatively nexus. Correct and accepted: One nexus. Multiple nexuses. Multiple nexus. Incorrect: Multiple nexi. This stems from the latin etymology of the word "nexus", as it is different than the word "cactus" for instance, since it is a fourth, and not second, declension noun. (This is much more rare, which is why there is a common misunderstanding)
Thanks for the upload, I'm a bit new to the starcraft scene so I gotta ask, do they usually surrender that fast? It surprises me that they get a little behind and just call it quits
It's not that they just give up. They just know when a situation is impossible, and there is no point wasting focus and energy on a situation that cannot be won. They save their concentration for the new game. :)
Why is Winter asking for a specific number of likes? It's typically around 1350ish, so I assume it's a reference to something? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help an old man understand Winter's too-online-humor.
He started with 1000, and raises it by 1 every video. Not sure why, probably a challenge to himself, but now it's a way to count the videos/days. And a nice way to ask for "likes and subscribes"
The fact that the loser in the last game (avoiding spoilers) let the other player walk right into his bases and sit down like he owned the place...twice...wow.
I dont think I can survive mass oracle meta again. Still remember the pre nerf oracles when 5 would just fly in and nuke down queens, spores, hydras(oh they did bonus vs light btw) AND the lair
On his channel seems his last video was 3 months ago. All guessing on my part, but maybe it wasnt going as well as he tought, he wasnt making enough money, and he got a job or something...
@@firestarter000001earn from sponsors or content creation too (as limited as that is in Korea), sounds like maybe a family tragedy is all I’d guess Shame, he was a very entertaining player and was looking forward to his return

Heck yeah 🎉
"The overlords are saving us from watching the worst of it." Funny as hell, 10/10 commentary.
Winter is the best of them all.

High school maths = very high brow

Winter you never fail to bring a laugh with your expert commentary 😆
I love all the asides to Jimmy. When I first started watching Winter I really did think he had an assistant named Jimmy he gave a hard time to.
Jimmy is real to me.
@@testname123 Karen and Susan really speak too
@@ferjavm don't forget Jennifer ! she is part of the Lore too
“Showtime showing us he wont take this shin anymore” he wrote that one down before the cast

totally agree!
Same

"Showtime backed up against the himself right now."
What you did there, I see it.
That is goddamn poetry!
showtime aka "the wall". so witty !
" *Nimbwralgm* Was that my broodling noise? I'm both embarrassed and confused... it's like highschool all over again" 1:05:09
28:00 "Now you got a serious probe-blem." Perfection.
Get this guy a gig as one of SC2 official tourney commentators.
That moment with 20 probes blown up was insane
Not just blown up... EXPLODERATED! 💥😆💥
Commentary was so on point for this one, absolutely hilarious. 10/10 Love this f'n guy

I love Winters comparison between "caster" and "commentator". Keep up the great vids sir!

Idk but its hilarious xD
I'm pretty sure is a mix of both xD
Winter has his blazer on. Strap in everyone, its gonna be a banger!
with the Kurzgesagt channel T-shirt! Dressed to impress ^_^
Great casting - I mean commentating - as always Winter. Thanks so much. I like the recent trend of wearing a jacket too, which adds to the image of being a commentator vs a 'mere' caster too.
Love your commentary and positive vibe.
43:28 🤣🤣🤣 That knowing looking straight into the camera Lmao
Game 5 is such a slugfest. Great commentary and very exciting match!
Haven’t played SC since the early 2000s and barely understand what’s going on but watching this with your commentary was great! Great content
You are such a solid announcer! Makes all the diff in the world
I love how he talks like he is about to laugh. Makes me smile 😅
You really are incredible at this, the wits, the awareness, it’s always great to watch you cast 👍
15:06 we know what comparison you were thinking of winter
Showtime is a pro-player who has a very special talent for making the Qualifiers for the Round of 16 feel like the Grand Finals
Winter is such a big dark fan boy that even in a game where dark isn't competing, Winter talks more about dark than the players in the current game😂
Lol been waiting months to use that mother ship poster to get his "paper" joke in. Love it
Hahahaha
What a series
Also I’m pretty sure showtime thought he had already built a robo in G2 because he was floating so much gas
The timing on the mothership joke had me dying 🤣
If Showtime and Swarmhost were instead spelt Showtm and Swmhost, then all of the letters would go in each other's
I don't know how you worked this out, but it is true. :)
Winter is just the best caster out there... period.
gotta love the moment Showtime said "It's Showtimin time!" and Showtimed all over the place
Back and forth series are so good!
Nail biter of a series. Those two are so well matched!
"If you will see this diagram you will know more about the mother ship. Notice it is made of paper."
39:54 the Archon shot at the top right
27:38 was awesome, I mean really!
I normally don’t click for thumbnails. But 7 oracles in the mineral line is something I gotta see
24:37 The 3 Dusketeers
I love your bits. Queen Brenda and Jimmy are so good
Out here with the brutal mothership jokes I can't even
The blueprint bit... I nearly died laughing
Baneling eyed joe?? This guys just doesn’t miss.
"¿Por qué no los 2?" - like from me 😁
Saved myself an hour and a half finding out that they still have not fixed protoss.
That mothership joke was top-tier 🤣 1:35:57
27:36 for the big banneling explosions
I still can't believe dynasty got into the map pool... It's so bad for zerg to play on it might as well just pop up a loss screen on match start.
1:06:40
“It’s harder with two hands!
That’s what… never mind.”
Hahaha I literally disliked the video just so I could hit like again. I know that doesn’t help you with the algorithm but that ad-lib was hilarious!
Did you know on TH-cam you can drag the closed captioning to a different spot on the video so you can see better? I just found out on PC.
"Showtime has solid base level mechanics" - fk me winter 🤣
Dude he the best "bad dad" terrible puns.
If the protoss do not have a mouth, how do they shout "My life is for Aiur"?
It's a pre-recorded broadcast via a Bose stereo system. Also promotes brain-washing tactics.
AMAZING Game 6. Those Stasis...
thats the korean bbq shoutout with the chopsticks
28:06 You should not get away with this!
Winter should have at least 400K subs!
Can you contaminate a shield battery?
Apprently MaxPax qualified but declined. He's that dedicated to stay anonymous.
😭
I'm really curious what is to the right of you when you cast that you look at when you seem to be talking to someone else. Is it a poster of something, or a pile of stuffies?
How tf did showtime hold that 😮
I respect your dedication and longevity
im not taking your "shin" anymore haha
Been playing for at least 12 years, been watching you for at least 5
Is the prize actually 1,000,000$ ? Wow
$1M prize pool, first place gets $400,000
When you're about to win - just build carriers.... every time lol

I can't tell if "Shin's throw it at The Wall and see if it sticks strategy" was intentional.
Has the cards shown at the beggining of each video any real effect? Keep seeing them but cant tell if they are just for fun
Thanks for the upload, I'm a bit new to the starcraft scene so I gotta ask, do they usually surrender that fast? It surprises me that they get a little behind and just call it quits
The way the pro players know the position their in is unreal. Even with their limited information.
It's not that they just give up. They just know when a situation is impossible, and there is no point wasting focus and energy on a situation that cannot be won. They save their concentration for the new game. :)

@@drorbedrack8720 Thank you for explaining that! I think I really like Winter doing that, now.
I hope you have a fantastic evening.
1:15:35 Can confirm it translates over the video.
So i checked on liquipedia Esports world cup and it seems both Showtime and Shin are going , not sure how it works.
how can i not love everything you do?
so is this turney equal with riyadh master in dota2?
Winter what was that word you said at 26:27?
if protoss dont have mouth, how do they scream when they die ?
Need more unit voices! The broodling MrRrmrrmrrr sound was cool!
What is this 1 million tounament? when does it start?
The fact that the loser in the last game (avoiding spoilers) let the other player walk right into his bases and sit down like he owned the place...twice...wow.

You make my day, Thank you!

Haha, wordsmith winter. Clever clever very enjoyable
is that 1m in usd or peanuts and seashells?
Help Winter and like the video. For the algorithm!!!
"Get off my creep!" 😂
Still wondering what happened to PartinG, he was back wasn't he? Did he step away or just hasnt been doing well or?
On his channel seems his last video was 3 months ago. All guessing on my part, but maybe it wasnt going as well as he tought, he wasnt making enough money, and he got a job or something...
@@firestarter000001earn from sponsors or content creation too (as limited as that is in Korea), sounds like maybe a family tragedy is all I’d guess
Shame, he was a very entertaining player and was looking forward to his return
The suit with a t shirt is a 10/10 from me.
How do we get winter to be a caster at the world championships?
I want to glow up in my mid 20s to early 30s like showtime did.
