Also could have positioned his 5+ lurkers from his third base on the high ground rather than next to the hatchery, which would have stopped the retreat of Flash's main army back to base. Easier said than done though, especially with hindsight and not having to make those split decisions in the moment while controlling everything else.
I think if he moves the lurkers up, he just loses his last buildings to flash straight up. Needed those 5 there where they were to bait flash to just rush up and clear his own base
On the contrary, Flash had 5 irradiates and could've wiped the 3 o'clock base with his vessels and marines and straight up won by wiping the last 2 buildings Zelot had. Floating buildings could've easily bought him enough time to win the base trade if he needed to.
Haha this was a fun one! It seems like mm bio is good with 1/1 early. Mutas always seem to wreck Terran bio early until turrets come up and Terran can get an army out. Love the cast arty.
He managed to keep the sci vessels alive. If he pulled the hydras back to attack the vessels things MAY have gone down differently. He had what, 3 vessels? If he took 2 down, or even all 3, the game would have been in zealot’s favor i think, leaving flash with no detection and the lurkers decimating the remains of his army
@@dewinmoonl Zelot made tactical mistakes. He should've morphed some hydras into lurkers in Flash's base as soon as possible - the fight would've been over. Once he did morph some, he forgot to control them so they died right away. Flash displayed superior reaction under pressure here.
Had Flash attacked the third hatch, there might've been a serious chance that all of his buildings got destroyed(or infested) before he killed ZeLoT due to the lurkers that were already burrowed down the ramp. It was the correct decision to run back home and save whatever was left, building up an overwhelming army. All ZeLoT had to do was hold the ramped platform in front of his third before Flash scurried back. Remember, there was no detection with the marine medic ball, and forcing a scan would have been a game changer! I think anyways.
man zealot had this game for sure, definitely looks like he was getting strained on multitasking and nerves in the endgame. definitely a fun one. thanks!
Zelot really should have placed those lurkers on the ramp, just outside of the 3rd. That would have given Flashes marines a lot of pain trying to go up the high ground, or at least force to walk all the way around. Then again, I suppose it is a lot of pressure in an intense game. Great game, thanks Arty!
12:08 it looks like the zerg attack is succeeding ... but look at the supply: how can flash be losing? oh, but look at the minimap. only HALF the terran army is at home.
I love Zelot's Zergs hahhahaa. I also love how he doesn't hotkey shit ... just goes 2-3-4 on hatchs and 1 for units. Goes full on FULL SEND every game hahaha. Its straight up ladder play with no finesse. Zelot is like the... my version of trying to play like Soma
That game was romantic with the base trade, reminded me when I used to play with friends 20 years ago and we didn't know what we were doing so we played till the last building was destroyed 😂
Like so many other top zergs, Zelot just charges in anyway even though marines are in good formation. They just trade one muta for one rine and then they don't learn, they just keep doing it. Pick off reinforcements, units on the edges, attack together with lings/lurkers or harass buildings and workers. Don't just dive right into a bio clump ready to punish you, especially not against 1-1...
The gross flaw in ensnare is the queen has to pause for 2-3 seconds before emitting the globule which then takes another 1-1.5 seconds to travel for a total of 3-4.5 seconds by which time the queen is often killed by return fire, if she's killed before the globule lands then the ensnare is canceled. Arguable the most dysfunctional aspect of starcraft that screamed for a patch that never got patched
I think zerg would have survived longer and given that small marine/medic army the finishing blow if he just built a a bunch of zerglings to go with those lurkers
Wow! It's so rare to see a base trade scenario these days. I think that Queens have a lot of potential that's vastly overshadowed by Defiler in terms of utility in denial and DPS by Dark Swarm and Plague. Just to bring down stimmed Marines to basically becoming unstimmed, and if I recall correctly reveals hidden units so cloaked Wraiths get vulnerable to Hydras without having to sacrifice Overlords, not to mention Valkyries slowing down and slowing down their attack speed, if that's the case, to neuter their DPS against Mutas and Scourge. IF it slows down their attack speed, because... well frankly I don't know this. It's all theory crafting at this point. Awesome game to watch nonetheless.
absolutely crazy game, i love to see some guardians and that massive attack by zelot looked so overwhelming yet flash still came back the ensnare usage was cool to see also
9:33 Arty is starting to get chills but stops himself from saying it.
1 ensnare = 1 chill
1 Infested CC = 1 Chill
I might actually frame this comment on my wall
On the fifth day of Flashmas, Artosis gave to me.... 5 ensnaring queens
4 hydralisks, 3 marines, 2 terran wraiths...and a braaaaaandneeeeew ASS SEE WEEEE.
On the Sixth day of Flashmas Artosis gave to me.... 6 short flash games with no gg´s
i'm pretty sure it needs to be
4 pooling zergs
3 hatch hydra
2 center gates
and a cross spawn nexus first.
Think of the channel we're on.
@@Gloriath1 I think it's been decades, and that's still seared into my brain.
Please Arty never assume that we grow tired of Flash replays because we dont. Keep em coming.
Keep flash coming! Love your video bro!
Confirmed
I wouldnt object to a few Jaedong / Queen / Effort games in there too 😂 but yeah
Im sick of flash. Im so sick of everyone kissing his butt about every booger he picks from his nose. Id be fine never watching him play again
Truth
Here's a vote for casting 14 games of Flash vs ZeLoT in a row. That's what the best players do, have 14 game series against each other.
"ksssskkk ahhhh chilled up and good to go"
Overstimmed. WE NEED A MEDIC!
if Zelot morphed lurker eggs on Flashs ramp that was a 100% won game
Also could have positioned his 5+ lurkers from his third base on the high ground rather than next to the hatchery, which would have stopped the retreat of Flash's main army back to base. Easier said than done though, especially with hindsight and not having to make those split decisions in the moment while controlling everything else.

@@adrianbundy3249 You have to go through the ramp to get to the last buildings tho
@@adrianbundy3249 he could have infested the cc
Really fun match.
Zelot always a crowd pleaser
Zelot, the flaming offence
And flash, the chills-maker.
This is a song of ice and fire
13:01 There is no way Zelot loses this games 15:01 ah well...
That’s pretty crazy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an ensnare + guardian game in the 20 years of watching StarCraft.
Its like from an alternate reality where this is the normal meta
Haha this was a fun one! It seems like mm bio is good with 1/1 early. Mutas always seem to wreck Terran bio early until turrets come up and Terran can get an army out. Love the cast arty.
Hell of a game.
Super fun game. Excellent on both sizes. Love seeing the ensnare get utilized.
How tf did flash win this
Science vessel with 0 counters that irradiates everything
He managed to keep the sci vessels alive. If he pulled the hydras back to attack the vessels things MAY have gone down differently.

There was nothing to stop or disrupt his retreat, like say lurkers burrowed on the way up, riiiiight in front of the three 'o clock base.
That defense at 8m had me actually clenching my buttcheeks.
I think everyone forgot queens can infest CCs.
This was a huge chill game
Swing at the king, better not miss.
that flash hold was just insane, it gave me some chills
He wanted and infested cc "ONE TIME" just for the thumbnail
You hiding chills man. Not cool we all know you had chills :) ❄️🥶
12:33 so close to having chills...

A win for flash is a win for humanity!!
"we are looking at a game from flash" is my fav sentence of the day
man zealot had this game for sure, definitely looks like he was getting strained on multitasking and nerves in the endgame. definitely a fun one. thanks!
I’m so stoked for this one
I heard "Hey guys" and I got pre-chill shivers 😂
Jokes aside Keep up the great casting Arty
No day is complete until i have watched the latest artosiscasts
Zerg is so HYPE!
What a cool game! Thank you for casting. I guess it was also quite fun for flash fighting something out of the ordinary?
Artosis, I really do believe it's going to come down a combination of units and not just any one/two unit type of meta
Zelot really should have placed those lurkers on the ramp, just outside of the 3rd. That would have given Flashes marines a lot of pain trying to go up the high ground, or at least force to walk all the way around. Then again, I suppose it is a lot of pressure in an intense game. Great game, thanks Arty!
2:10 glad to hear that, I've been holding off on patronizing until I knew the Patreon wasn't dead.
Wow that went from Flash losing to Flash winning real quick
That base trade was fun to watch!
Crazy game! Nobody could see that finish coming!
So cool to see queens being utilized now. I don't recall it being played 2007~ish.
Not even Flash could hold th... never mind
What a decision by Flash to save his main rather than attacking his opponents expansions. Well done
"There is no way Zealot is going to lose this game";)
I really expected the glued marines to crumble more!
If Zealot infested the CC he'd have a floating building for the trade and could have morphed all the lurkers with main army.
In scrappy situations like that, the experienced player is so favored in clutching it out. Flash 🐐
How does Arty make kids? Netflix and chills.
Nexus and chills
Dafuq is this comment? Cringe.
wow these few days we are getting blessed with a wide variety of units being utilized by the top players. bravo
I have never seen a base trade won in so decisive a fashion.
Whaaat best game in a long time on the channel! Arty you missed the first ensnare xD! We wanna see it when it’s so rare to occur.
Remember to bring a sweater cause the weather forecast is 100% NERD CHILLS
Zealot wood of won if he had infested terran
12:08
it looks like the zerg attack is succeeding ... but look at the supply: how can flash be losing?
oh, but look at the minimap. only HALF the terran army is at home.
Finally someone utilizes the zerg army to its full potential, i hate seeing people sticking to the meta
More Flash games! Amazing stuff.
Chills in a flash
Flash vs Zzzazzelot... I get chills just by typing that
Damn what a crazy game. This would be an incredible meta shift if TvZ starts looking like this more.
Keep em coming RT
If he infested that command center it would've been a zerg victory
I'm already a patreon but for SSL i would gladly pay for more of tartosis. If you guy were casting more stuff togethere.
Flash was forced to go back because otherwise he would have lost because of lack of buildings.
If those lurkers were a few tiles over...
I love Zelot's Zergs hahhahaa. I also love how he doesn't hotkey shit ... just goes 2-3-4 on hatchs and 1 for units. Goes full on FULL SEND every game hahaha. Its straight up ladder play with no finesse. Zelot is like the... my version of trying to play like Soma
Def one of the funnest games I've watched... Zelot/Soma and Snow games are always bangers cause of the aggression
Good morning fellow dorks. Time for my daily artosiscast before before i start my day.
That game was romantic with the base trade, reminded me when I used to play with friends 20 years ago and we didn't know what we were doing so we played till the last building was destroyed 😂
Artosis you will make it into SSL one day
There was 5 irradiates which killed almost all of the guardians
Flash: and that is why, kids, you don't go valks in this case)
8:50: "Based Flash"
That's a chillin'
Cool game, a bit colder and you might even call it chill.
12:29 I felt that... ONE TIME... let it happen... DAMN!
Another great in-game realtime decision making moment for Flash by sending his vessels to home base! 👍👍
I was hoping to see an infected base. Such an oversight!
nice seeing ensare and guardians for a change
Remember to play videos such as these on very hot days to cut down on your AC bills.
Like so many other top zergs, Zelot just charges in anyway even though marines are in good formation. They just trade one muta for one rine and then they don't learn, they just keep doing it.

Don't just dive right into a bio clump ready to punish you, especially not against 1-1...
pre-chill comment
That was so close to base trade where terran loses all building and all that zerg have is infested cc
The gross flaw in ensnare is the queen has to pause for 2-3 seconds before emitting the globule which then takes another 1-1.5 seconds to travel for a total of 3-4.5 seconds by which time the queen is often killed by return fire, if she's killed before the globule lands then the ensnare is canceled.

Exhibit ZZ of “casters can’t estimate the strength of a Zerg’s position”
A Zerg named ZeLot whats next? An Artosis who Chillz Not?
Mr Tosis with another good shoutcast
Zelot really choked at the end. He did not reposition his guardians to clear the marines as they came up. Zealot's game to lose.
Wow I really thought Flash lost there. amazing
dude how did flash win that one it’s crazy
Very interesting approach by zealot
I think zerg would have survived longer and given that small marine/medic army the finishing blow if he just built a a bunch of zerglings to go with those lurkers
Wow what an amazing game, never count flash out truly the GOAT
That was a crazy game!! So fun
AMAZING GAME AND DIVERSION
Super fun game to watch! Go Flash! 🥳🥳
Artosis ALWAYS clicks away from combat the exact moment that interesting stuff is about to go down.
Wow! It's so rare to see a base trade scenario these days. I think that Queens have a lot of potential that's vastly overshadowed by Defiler in terms of utility in denial and DPS by Dark Swarm and Plague.

IF it slows down their attack speed, because... well frankly I don't know this. It's all theory crafting at this point. Awesome game to watch nonetheless.
What a great game wich we saw more of this zerg strat.
Zelot could have won that with just a bit better control and decision making at the very very end, crazy game, exciting one
Mentos-sis, the chill maker ©
I'M SOOO COLD. I'M SHIVERING. WHAT A GAME!!! CHILLS BABY CHILLS!
awesome game, interesting attack from zelot. Wonder if he could have made the counterattack less effective at the same? Marines just shred bases.
cant believe flash held that hahahahaa wow!! What a game
absolutely crazy game, i love to see some guardians and that massive attack by zelot looked so overwhelming yet flash still came back
the ensnare usage was cool to see also
Nails bitting game
