+Perfidyy thx man
:v
u da real mvp
TH-cam needs more people like you.
You rock
With the cheese Parting provided you can make pizza for the whole audience.
first game start around 15.33
you sir earned yourself a cookie :D
I'd like to see the editors put blank video at the end of these so all videos show to be 2 hours long. That way the timecode doesn't spoil the ending.
+Kyle Eggemeyer That would be a waste of space. If you don't want it spoiled don't look at the video timeline
Joshua Bruce Taylor It really would add little to no size to the video, bytes wise. One unchanging frame is all that would need to be streamed to the computer. Just an easy way to make all the videos the same length, it would essentially cost zero extra to store or stream.
When the mouse moves, you see where the red bars progress is, if only peripherally. If it is a quick three game sweep, come the end of game two, it is very obvious that the series will end in the third game.
+Kyle Eggemeyer I do think, however, that adding a fixed frame as you stated would be quite annoying for more people than not. Also, since videos show you their length before even clicking on them, I'm sure long timestamps would cause a lot of people not to watch certain videos simply because they feel it will consume a lot of their time.
Joshua Bruce Taylor That's fair.
+Joshua Bruce Taylor I'm sure youtube devs could think of a spoiler free solution, an option for those who don't wan't it spoiled.
This series was so amaaaaazing Still watching in 2017 :D
PartinG is one of the best pro's. He keeps things interesting and never too too serious!
sometimes i watched these videos when i go to sleep, this time is was just naping. I heard the commentators though while napping due to that i had a dream as if i was in a Starcraft meeting, where we are analyzing games xD
that game 2 is so GOATed I cannot forget about it even after almost a decade since I first watched it live! I had to come back to look at that perfect clutch play by PartinG.
So glad Life won PartinG is an asshole
skillzbaby MC is my favourite person in personal XXD
but Life is really Stronk....
PartinG is awesome! He makes me want to play protoss, and then i realize that i suck and switch back to zerg
***** I liked Protoss and Zerg Cuz there are easier to play ...rather than Terran...
SumRandomAzn
Parting is probably my favorite. Too bad you don't like him I guess. He is one of the few people who has the slightest bit of personality.
SumRandomAzn towering is for boners. lol is that chuckie finster btw?
One of the best game I've ever seen!
GRATZ Life!!! Awesome game PartinG!
wtf is the point having a fourth commentator but not letting her speak?
+craziii3 in case they need translator
Zerg is OP:
1- Vipers can abduct motherships;
2- Swarm host send minions automatically; 2.1- They live for a too long time range; 2.2- A colossus should have more power against this minions
+sguitas Ok I agree with the Mothership BUT how else do you want to deal with MS? Run your Overseers into all the Stalkers? Kill it with Corruptors and staying in the mid of all the Psi-Storms?
And the SH's were hugels nerfed! Right now, they can't have Locust all the Time :O
+sguitas i like it how whenever a zerg player wins the zerg is immediately OP but it is completely normal for a protoss or terran player to win with the deathball play
Indeed
LMAO people saying zerg is OP i'm so done.
***** If swarmhosts were actually as good as people say they are, Snute would be the best player in the world. Snute is clearly not the best player in the world. SHs only work against Protoss on a couple of maps. There's a reaon Life (and sometimes Hyun, Jaedong and Soulkey) is the only Zerg left in the late stages of tournaments
*****
APM???? Please.
It takes more skills to play as zerg and no one can argue against that.
***** yes I watched the same game as you and SH are easily defended with observers and colosi. The only broken unit in sc2 is the widow mines because it has range, does splash damage, can attack both ground and air, and is cloaked when burrow. SH is not broken because there is only one element to it in that it can only attack ground and their attacks in between takes so long to respawn. How about switching it up like in some other pro games where I see toss player mix in some void rays into their colosi death ball? Honestly the only underpowered race is the Zerg and if you take SH away there is nothing Zerg can do against toss colosi, sentries, blink stalkers death ball. By saying what you said I assumed you are not a Zerg player because you wouldn't understand what's it like to face a protons death ball.
I am a Protoss player and can agree that Zerg are not OP
MrManbir101
It's pretty much unanimous that zerg is the weakest race
That interview with PartinG lol! "Coming soon... many tears, he cry, go home! I don't care"
At 1;12 min why protos have had not recall to base on the bottom and base race?
Zerg lategame so overpowered.
no pay for locusts.
coruptors never die.
Either protoss wins it early or loses in lategame.
Or u can photon overcharge some more skillful protoss
life is good
Yes, life is indeed good
Life is love. Life is life.
Life is great.
No, Swarm Hosts are good. Life is meh
He is so stupid he doesn't even realize that he uses consume on his own SH and KILLS them. Guess a dumbass like that is skillful LOL
epicfail86
Lol, the best player in the world is meh, you're so stupid it's unbelievable
4th game... Finally something different...
I'm so surprised that how little SC2 strategies evolved during the past 5 years. After watching the finals I feel like they just need to give 3 combat units to each race and you can't even tell the difference.
Life = The Best Zerg Player in the World Today GG
He's been the best zerg in the world for years.
Michael T LoL best zerg IN SC2 . Jaedong is the BEST zerg in SC1 and in World
imo jaedong life and scarlett are the best zerg players , but i dont play zerg oten but its just from what i have seen :P
cameron evans
Life > Hydra > Jaedong >> Scarlett
I don't follow all the tournaments but this is from what I see.
my personal favourites for zerg player in the pro ssene are jaedong 1 and scarlett second, but my friend who is in master is mah ave :3 haha
PartinG's last attack in game 2 was like art!!! a complete massacre
Game 4 is still one of my favourites
I like how just one sentry, one canon, and a mothership core can kill a flood of zerglings and banelings.
What are your thoughts on Swarmhosts.
SleepyFoX SH are a neccesary evil due to Collosus + Tempest (Brood Lords used to be teh answer in WoL, but Tempest). i don't like it, but if you take the SH away how does zerg fight a deathball these days?
instinctz1 I dunno, buff Ultralisks or Infesters or something. Anything is better than Swarmhosts. Maybe removing Tempests so Broodlords become more viable. Yes I prefer Broodlords because they can't siege from infinite range and are significantly less mobile.
SleepyFoX Ultralisks? they are absolutely hard countered by Immortals. and they already nerfed the infestor into oblivion... your basically asking them to bring back broodlord infestor with what you are stating...BL take a MUCH LONGER time to come out than Collosus do. it was the infestor that enabled you to last long enough to get them out.
instinctz1 That's why I said "buff" ultralisks or infesters.
One of the problems that created Broodfester was that mass corruptor hard countered Protoss air badly, since Voidrays were pathetic. Now that in HoTs where mass Voidray sentry/HT is an actual composition, it makes broodlords hard to pull off.
I'm not sure if you watched Naniwa vs Nerchio, but Nerchio was relying on Broodlords to win (Broodlord hydras with infesters) but Naniwa beat him without Tempests. They are an unnecessary hard counter.
AWESOME, the first match is fucking hilarious, Life Lings vs. The Architect. PartinG's reaction after the first match told the whole story.
Zerg is week , life is good and pro , so pepol think = zerg op
+88AsAs Weak* unless you intentionally meant the weeks of a month lol
C'est fou à quel point que le jeu était 100 mieux avant...
Qu'est ce que ça me manque cette époque
The range on locus is op imo. I can't think of any unit in the game that comes close to half the range of locus.
Joseph Tran err tempests? Siege tanks? they have pretty high range
Was hoping parting was going to win :(
Me too mate
rotutsdotcom Idiot. Don't read the comments before you finish the video.
rotutsdotcom Oh wow, that was an amazing comeback!
TheSlightlyHomosexualFeminist I don't think he really needs a comeback. Just look at your profile pic. lol. It says it all....
rotutsdotcom aww you butthurt? Dont read the comments, you have no one to blame but yourself.
So why didn't Parting go after the swarm hosts?
+Tang0Fox1 Because life would kill all of his units.
Game 3: For someone who is not a fan of Swarm Hosts, it is astonishing for Life to appear so enthusiastic, even after winning with them.
what is the song during the break?????????????
+DarkDroidDoesGaming Music_Time_Fx - Say It Now
+DarkDroidDoesGaming Darude - Sandstorm
people really dont seem to understand that life is the only person that makes it look so easy, zerg really not op due to swarm host watch some ladder games gosh, sh suck.
msi rly does make some great comps tho
Oh my god, that last fight.
looked like parting threw his tempests away so he could surrender a game he wouldn't win.
36:20 what map is this?
Overgrowth LE like it could be seen at the top of the minimap (left side)
SHs are game breakers. Cheap to play. Beats everything. It's a no brainer.
no protoss is a game breaker itself, cheap cannon rush, cheap oracle rush, death ball bla bla
Alejandro Barrio SH only works vs Protoss. wtihout SH though, zerg would be too weak.
toss are always slower, no good transitions, I prefer zerg.
I agree about SH working only vs Protoss, cause Terrans have tanks. but there are roaches too, and zerglins/banelings.
Hope that Lotv will fix all this. The new no-auto SH seems better unit. Powerful but not auto attack. Some skill needed.
***** I think SH is a good thing too. Canceling protoss to get auto-win all the time
***** No, if all games ended in 5 mins no one gonna watch SC2 anymore.. and starcraft was designed to ended around 20-30 mins pergame according to researching and upgrading times consumed and SH match it perfectly
13:10 Apollo has always been the bright man he is
i love how parting acted so gangster and cocky to start with. I feel bad for him. idk why but I do.
awesome
The players reactions are wildly out of control. Look at all the chaos in the crowd, someone could get hurt with all these people acting out as well o_o
"He's gonna bust again!"
how come he doesn't scout with a drone? I mean if a zerg goes cheese like 6 pool or something he wont know until it's too late?
+Stefanny Hernandez good queastion. But i presume you mean why does the protoss probe not scout? Can any starcraft expert elaborate?
Well yes exactly I meant a probe and yes please could some expert elaborate?
I wish it was more clearly labelled who life was and who parting was
Why didn't Parting recall his army to the lower right gold base he had right next to Life's base and instantly circumvent Life's static defense??
That is what usually happens. I have no idea what he was thinking, you can't just sit in one place for 10 minutes take swarm host trades.
Sinbreaker ok, I thought maybe I was missing something. Swarm host play really through him off.
John Chung Yeah. He's a very aggressive player and turtling isn't really his 'thing'. People here complain about SH and shit but you just have to know how to play against it. I can't speak much since I'm not a pro and probably gonna get shit for saying that but it's true. Nothing is unbeatable unless we're talking about BL/Infestor. That shit was hard. Like reinserting a turd up your ass.
Why I think game one has been played like 500 times already
Partying early ling rush holds are the sickest in the entire world, ist so insane. 99% of GM Players would just flatout gg there.
Hi Guys, can you give me a link to this game so I can download it and have fun playing
#AdvanceThanks;)
+demacia noxus No, fun is not allowed in this game.
LOL susie does sc2 coverage? im amazed!
+Super Crazy i like it
Damn, Susie... Did she always have those?
why I never saw protross use black hole ?
It was removed. No more archon toilets
Why do they rage quit?
5:20 what does parting say ?
+Bournesax Hey life people is coming?
+Zeratul the Dark Prelate hey life, big boy is coming
Bournesax Well, that is a kinda funny thing to say when you are Asian. :D
Throughout the game, I was under the impression that "Parting was just a Prick for his Cheese and smack talk", (especially the canon rushing) however at the end of the game 1:27:30ish or there about......he was actually a gracious loser. Shaking Life's hand and both of them smiling. Good for both of them.
perhaps they should bring back vortex, but only give it 3 range. That should stop the random adbucts on MS and allow for the archon toilet we know and love :)
Seconded. No good reason for the Mothership to be 400/400 otherwise.
lol Apolo looks like eunuch of Alexander the Great in that button up shirt:D:D
An endless, continuous stream of cheese. We can call that "string cheese".
Great ^_^
Epic gamerinos WOW
Life's Lings(G), getting the job done since 2014
Game 4 is a clear example of why sc2 cannot be as popular as sc1. Zerg is stupidly op. There is a problem when zerg is able to reach to the point where it can simply suffocate protoss to death when parting has been doing almost everything he can to harass zerg
Youre basically like everyone else, when terran was in its prime, terran needed to be patched, protoss prime? Protoss op, zerg prime? Zerg was called the weakest race for a long time, the game is balanced, so stfu
My my my......U know it
4th game like a sweaty rolling
PartinG had no strategy in that last game, he totally deserved to lose. All he had to to was go around that static defense, but instead he decided to run straight into it over and over again, frustrating af to watch.
+CTstrider Well, you do not understand Starcraft as well as you think you do.
+Zeratul the Dark Prelate You don't have to be a pro to understand that flanking is a good tactic in almost all scenarios.
CTstrider you know if PartinG would just go around he would lose? because if Life would have lost his base he wouldn't care and the units he send straight into the defense wouldn't help him.
Zeratul the Dark Prelate Not true, Parting had a much better army and could have effectively base-traded.
CTstrider He couldn't.
Hey everyone would appreciate any feedback as i'm a huge Starcraft noob. Basically I watch these pro videos and usually after 1 big fight the loser concedes, why is this a thing? Won't they have a chance to come back later in the game or something? Seems very fast paced and so many surrenders I don't really get it so any help would be great cheers.
is it newest starcraft
+OneCrafterz132 Did you see anything from legacy of the void? No. So it fucking isn't the new Starcraft.
That late game Zerg is so op... There's literally nothing Protoss can do once zerg sets up successful static defense and has the right composition of SH, corruptors, vipers, and BL. This matchup is a joke. Basically, Protoss has to cheese or win mid game or it's gg against an intelligent Zerg player.
last game is disgusting....
Red eye got it!
i'm not really into starcraft, but man... anybody else noticed, how these two guys look like harry potter and ron weasley on the preview???
Cool race... even without static defense and free units, protoss could hold forever against massive attacks from zergs....
31:49 - 32:52 what a rush
Zerg went from bad in WOL to good in HoTS to op as hell in LOTV
Despite the fact that they are the least played race. If a race was op, it would be played more often. P and T are better atm.
2;25 reading from a script? :P
swarm host should have limit on how much locust they can spawn in their lifetime or, limit the production every few minute... just, op unit
As someone relatively new to SC2, i find the abduction of large units like Colossus and Mothership to be ridiculously unbalanced in favor of the zerg. The adding of the swarm hosts was already an overpowered update to the zerg, i wish the old nydus channel strategy had been used instead of these swarm hosts..
+Artas1984 it's called, not building large units
+Aloysius Pendergast And that is called losing the videogame.
+Hatsune Miku You realize that you have to commit a ridiculous amount of minerals, gas, and supply into Vipers, right? If you simply stop placing a massive amount of your own supply and money into something that a Viper counters, and instead focus on Stalkers, which can blink out of any gas clouds the Vipers use, and Zealots, which the Viper is useless against anyways, the Zerg will almost always lose that engagement.
You can also supplement your force with immortals and HT's to help counter any ensuing roach/hydra nonsense.
Yeah, use Templar for splash...
You don't have to explain that you are new to SC, your comment proved that.
THEY JUST KEEP GETTING BIGGER WTF
i have to say for having Korea as his main langue he is pretty good at English
Life is doing is like a boss ;D 8:50 ;D
Life is GREAT!
That first game... :O
Life's skill imba
life is very good player, but its swarm host that is imba in this match up. + Zerg larvae mechanic needs to be fixed. Larvae needs like a timer or something before it dies.
HAHAHAHAHA you are so funny Daniel! :)
Daniel Zhao Remove Chrono boost and Terran Mules/SupplyDrop/Free scout.
Daniel Zhao oo really then why cant all zerg players won against protoss when using SH?
screamsinfamous im all for that except for the free scout for scan
So no zerg players spawn hydrolisks anymore ?
+savagex466 Because 1 zerg player is all zerg players...
I forgot how CANCER ZvP was with Swar Host O.O
I love lifes smile :D
Is Life better than Stephano was? I was a fan of that pink power ranger. Fungal growths for dayzz.
fucking swarmhost OP unit free D:
I fell asleep during that last game
Seriously, why does anyone build tempest against swarm host? I've never seen it work.
15:10
27:30
40:30
54:30
.
+Huddles Caceres It's the start of the games.
Life is just so good at maintaining economy...
Could he not have just massed void rays instead of tempts? Feel like it would've been a better choice.
swarm hosts should cost more, in terms of supply... probably 8 supply or something, less health, not cooldown of locusts...
the only thing i miss in the protos arsenal is the Arbiters i hate the mother ship one big target..
+12ock its ridicules bad now, only 1 active ability basically. A 300/300 floating target, useless.
Over powered Zerg units won this game.
Look, you see- Protoss OP!
wow so much cheese from parting
Zerg wins almost every series I watch. Esp. Against terran
Stop calling that cheeser "The architect"!!! Just call him "Cheese" since its his only strategy.
This could sound dumb (or be dumb) but I think parting could have won after all that because life had maybe too many corruptors and just zealots could have won, obv hard against the swarmhosts but they aren't super mobile or anything
Booths are back!
WP
lol parting is a funny dude.
