i'm very disappointed that you guys didn't get the thumbnail / title reference. the monster thing is the Brain Bug from StarShip Troopers, and and the most iconic movie quote of all time is when NPH put his hand on the brain bug's head and said "THEY'RE AFRAID!" and everyone cheered. come on guys......
I just watched Artosis casting the finals of CNSL season 5, Scan v Zelot, and listening to Arty react to valkyries microing against scourge is like watching a grandmother at the circus "ok he needs to be so caref.. *GASPS*" "if he gets too closer he could *GASPS*" Never change
I like the replay/analysis bits you've been adding at the end! I remember you saying in past videos that you'd like to pause to discuss specific mechanics and tactics - this is a good compromise and adds more to the video 😊
Flash returns from the military, and everyone is telling him that upgrade Terran doesn't work againt Protoss anymore. Lesser players would accept it and learn the new meta. Flash was like, "I don't follow the meta, the meta follows me." Flash wants to do upgrade Terran, and by god, he's going to find a way to make it work.
Another great vid. I especially like whenever you will talk about additional notes after the replay finishes and you elaborate on certain things you felt inklings of during the game, like Dewalt's 5th base timing.
Watching this while I eat my lunch when I work at home. Please keep posting. Never stop posting. Thank you for everything you and Tasteless do to keep this game alive
RT I was literally gonna leave a Cleverstarcraftguy-esque comment on yesterday's video (which I just got done watching) asking the question which you inadvertently addressed at 0:40. I just started the vid, but, I just wanted to say the way you intuitively understand & express understanding of the game is really impressive to the point where I, who last played use map settings games as a child in 2005, can understand what you mean. Good job.
Flash made some small adjustments that had big effects on his ability to respond, hild, and generate more value than a protoss up a base on him. Flash just wired differently.. so good
I wonder why pros don't use the Illusion skill on the high templars. Its a super good ability that would let you overcome aerial defenses with ease. Imagine doing a reaver drop, but instead of 1 transport, you have 3. The illusions will soak up the missile fire and let the shuttle go into the base no problem. Also, imagine doing a zealot rush on the tanks. It will be a huge deal to have a couple of illusions go in front to soak up the tank fire, while the real zealots stay behind OR just go trough the minefield with them to bait the mines. Honestly i think its a very under used ability.
Storm is just way more valuable. Also, Hallucinations take double damage. Pros have the micro to quickly check which ones are the fakes by checking health.
It's because of opportunity cost. If you're trying to kill tanks, it's much more cost-efficient to spend 75 Energy to Storm a cluster of tanks than the 100 ENERGY to summon 2 Hallucinations that will melt like butter (no armor, take double damage, take full concussive/explosive damage). Not to mention, the time/resources required to even research the Hallucination spell. There are very very niche situations where Hallucinations can be more cost efficient than Storm, but those instances are so rare to the point that the risk of investing in Hallucinations is not worth forgoing such a powerful ability like Storm. Maybe if Hallucinations weren't made of paper, we could see a world where it's used more often, but that world doesn't exist.
What a deadly move from Flash! Nice base trading ended up 3 vs 1. Many harassment between the 2 players. Flash defended his base pretty well earlier as well. With the 4 shuttles drop by earlier. Killed off nicely and cleanly.
I multiwatch these flash games. I mean back to back 5 times for a start. I enjoy the players who find their own way to win. The best to do it have been Flash and Boxer. And Artosis has an infectious love of the game. I very much enjoy these games and casts.
At the end, you probably meant: "Those small adjustments turned into a huge difference in the end." Agreed, those 2 games were pro tutorial material. People need to teach this in schools.
Of COURSE I know what the Brain Bug is, I saw Starship Troopers in the cinema. Oh Dannyo, you should have just put a picture of an OCTOPUS there. A 1 year old octopus has the problem solving capacity of a 7 year old human. Let that ''sink in''. ;)
I can't deny the hype, Flash being back is exciting. Can't wait to see him innovate the current meta. Someone like him can ultimately shift the entire meta all alone.
Well that's in no small part because of Flash himself. If he wanted to dispel the confusion he would. But he is hiding his identity under bar codes because he is not yet completely ready to declare where is current level is, and some amount of doubt about his identity is advantageous. Presumably he wants to train some more under semi-anonymity.
I feel like Flash is 5 games away from fixing TvP with how quick he adapts lol. Of course it will probably just be fixed for him and no other Terran but that’s because he can do things no one else can
Cool set of 2 games. A slight tweak and Flash does a lot better. That said, I still feel like Dewalt should of taken that 5th nexus like Arty was suggesting. To the casual viewer like me, it looks like he was floating the minerals that may have done better as a 5th nexus on the way. Wish we could of seen how that plays out.
Tactically speaking, if your Terran opponent is attacking both your corner expos with huge groups of vultures, then rather than trying to chase the vultures, it would make more sense to attack their main army, right?
@22:20 This is my comment from the last video: I think Flash will eventually land on 5Fac insta 3rd and threaten the attack but take a turtled 4th if the push cant hit. If the ultimate goal is to do upgrade Terran to crush in the late game, the Defense needs to be impenetrable. It really seems like Terrans are being forced to both have enough muscle to push through a tech build and have enough to defend 3rd CC. Flash would have been able to hold it if he had walled the third and second. -> Wall across the top of the ramp with Bunker w/ bats and Barracks wall would hold the P back long enough for tanks to do work, and scvs can insta repair. The most powerful aspect of Terran that's under utilized is Repair. If it was a line of Rax or depots across the front for the price of 6 Vultures, you have a wall that can't be broken w/ scvs. Nobody does this, but I think Flash eventually will if he has to defend the onslaught of the P marco attacks to protect the upgrade engine. What does 'Fortress Macro Terran' look like? --- Which is exactly what Flash did on the next game. Fortified 3rd, early expo, 5 fac into 7fac for 4th. Zing.
Dewalt still should go for a wave of all in before Flash Tank mass is up. If he knows T is going in late game, he has to get Arbiters to reduce tank count and do recall. Entire game didn’t even started Arbiter lost him the game.
So what can a Terran faced with that type of protoss greed do, Artosis? Edit: nevermind you answer this at the end. How do you think Best's gorilla smash style will fare against Flash and his old upgrade Terran?

the only one affraid here is YOU casting Snow vs Flash. cmon bruh
the reason i went here is due to that thumbnail lol, Then the names - now tuned in. AAROO
Please do flash vs jaedong!
I got it.
thanks for explaing it cus i was wondering
Besides the clarity of the games themselves, the clarity of the casting here is just shocking.
The very reason why i enjoy arty’s casts vs the rest of the vids by other channels
That attack with the vultures on the slip was a total Scan move.
Your analysis is what sets you apart from every other TH-cam caster.
Ya, I can’t bear any other noob casts after watching Artosis.
Arty is just in his own league, a treasure in SC.
Well the other guy's commentary is like "woah tanks do boom boom, on no dragoon is doing sha-boom"
I just watched Artosis casting the finals of CNSL season 5, Scan v Zelot, and listening to Arty react to valkyries microing against scourge is like watching a grandmother at the circus
"ok he needs to be so caref.. *GASPS*"
"if he gets too closer he could *GASPS*"
Never change
how can u live with only one flash upload a day
Honestly fr
It's even with 1 Flash upload a day. 2 Flash uploads a day is Terran favored
Huge differences with small differences. Would you like to know more?
I like the replay/analysis bits you've been adding at the end! I remember you saying in past videos that you'd like to pause to discuss specific mechanics and tactics - this is a good compromise and adds more to the video 😊
I love watching these consecutive games in a series to see the adjustments the players make
Flash returns from the military, and everyone is telling him that upgrade Terran doesn't work againt Protoss anymore. Lesser players would accept it and learn the new meta.
Flash was like, "I don't follow the meta, the meta follows me." Flash wants to do upgrade Terran, and by god, he's going to find a way to make it work.
Doubt it
Seems more like Dewalt made mistakes that let Flash win to me.
"by God" No lmao. God has no interest in video games and cares not if anyone is good or bad at it.
@@Stance1988 ummm but flash cares? flash is god so obviously god cares
@@hemmydall yeah Dewalt just threw this game while being ahead, total lack of nexus defence.
Post match rundown analysis is always appreciated! Showing how Flash is adapting to his opponent!
Arty lots of love from the Philippines. Love your casts! Don't stop being awesome!
Kababayan!
I've seen Filipinos play pool, if they played starcraft as seriously they would be unbeatable
Filipino player here. My Korean friends turned me on to StarCraft, and I could never beat them , but then again I don't play as much as they do lol
Another great vid. I especially like whenever you will talk about additional notes after the replay finishes and you elaborate on certain things you felt inklings of during the game, like Dewalt's 5th base timing.

These casts are so much more pleasant than the others with the endless TTS inanity. High-level gameplay with a calm and insightful casting style.
Always love a Dewalt game. Cheers Arto, been watching a ton of your vids this last year!

Arty wisdom: 23:23
Lol
Professional caster, actually loves the game and having top tier matches. This is just an overall dream to watch!
Flash made some small adjustments that had big effects on his ability to respond, hild, and generate more value than a protoss up a base on him. Flash just wired differently.. so good
The difference between this game and the last one is fucking outstanding. The agility of flash to figure shit out is insane.
Thanks for the great uploads, Artosis, you're the best! Cheers from Switzerland!
I love the breakdown at the end. Good stuff, Artosis

"Hallucination"
i have chills watching this
Only one flash game? Can we please have 2 a day? I gotta say watching Flash testing strategies is awesome!
This set was so informative I feel like I've learned it a lot.
The post-game analysis is much appreciated. More please!
Thanks for the excellent analysis at the end!
Ya ppl are tuning in, this is awesome dude
Huge differences with small changes, I think is what he was trying to say at 23:24
More Flash!
What a deadly move from Flash! Nice base trading ended up 3 vs 1. Many harassment between the 2 players. Flash defended his base pretty well earlier as well. With the 4 shuttles drop by earlier. Killed off nicely and cleanly.
Artosis getting nerd chills about starcraft is why we come here.

that vulture split play was majestic

He’s also old for pro gamer standards
He has the same age than all the progamers ASL level
Love your upload activity 💙💪🏼
I feel like Flash is 5 games away from fixing TvP with how quick he adapts lol. Of course it will probably just be fixed for him and no other Terran but that’s because he can do things no one else can
How cold is Canada? Artosis seems to get chills every video.
This shit is so awesome to watch. If the analysis and narrative is this good, you could keep casting Flash for two more months
i think flash added those factories because of dewalts attack

To the casual viewer like me, it looks like he was floating the minerals that may have done better as a 5th nexus on the way. Wish we could of seen how that plays out.
huge differences in outcomes with small differences in build orders is what you wanted to say

Man, I really missed out on R'Tos' tears since Flash lost the last game. It could be the highlight of this game!
Flash vs Snow next. We know they played. Go go go Arty!
23:24 LMAO 😂
great game. great cast. thanks rt

Which is exactly what Flash did on the next game.
Fortified 3rd, early expo, 5 fac into 7fac for 4th.
Zing.
Another great game! Love Flash vs Dewalt!
No joke these gifts are as good as a third ASL in a year
19 days of flash goes by fast
Can't get enough of Arty + Flash
you could probably use some form of stockfish for starcraft and analyze the games. imagine having a bar showing whos got the advantage :D
At 5:51 some probes were still idle.
That many 3-2 tanks is no joke.
Flashback to Flashcasts.
Tosis Casts thank you for the welcome
You gotta review the flash vs snow games. He pulls out 5 fact
I want to see a SCAN VS FLASH.
Dewalt still should go for a wave of all in before Flash Tank mass is up. If he knows T is going in late game, he has to get Arbiters to reduce tank count and do recall. Entire game didn’t even started Arbiter lost him the game.
Flash gonna have a good shot at next CNSL, can't wait.

Didn't JangBi play a "modern" style against Flash in 2012? He was good at breaking turtle terran.
watching these games makes me want to play melee myself
That thing on the thumbnail unnerves me what is it?
It’s an eggcellent time to work on eggs
ARTY CALLED FLASH SCAN
Go ahead and let Flash know he no longer needs to retire due to losing to Dewalt
So what can a Terran faced with that type of protoss greed do, Artosis? Edit: nevermind you answer this at the end. How do you think Best's gorilla smash style will fare against Flash and his old upgrade Terran?
Be Flash
Best's gorilla smash attacks are too inefficient against the top level players. Best lost against Sharp in this year's ASL.
So much death. What can men do against such reckless GREED?
When are we getting Dewalt vs Flash's NFT coin?!
damn was hoping for a 2-0
I don't get it, why not create 1 or 2 arbiters with 5 freaking bases?
Right when i grabbed a beer and a bag of chips, this pops up on yt. Feels like heaven
I just hope all this hype for Flash comeback wont burn out when he wont even qualify to ASL..
Best time to work on the eggs
felt like if dewald just added 5 cannons per base he would've won.
those vulture did way too much work
Yesssssss ty arty❤
