Missed the storm of the century right around 10:20 considering how many banelings were on-screen before the cut away and how fast Reynor's supply bottomed out
I haven't played starcraft 1 or 2 in probably over 10 years at this point, but I still love watching you cast these games, top shelf running gags and reactions xD
Damn Nightmare's been on a tear lately, ripping through dudes like Cure and Clem. His micro and deadly precise spell control reminds me a bit of Zoun. Nice to see more top-tier Protoss play.
Genuine Question about 46:00 it feels like Reynor's 4th is basically free from this point. Nightmare decides to push up to the third to continue dealing with the army. Is this a mistake to leave the 4th base mining with all its drones? Nightmare wins, so it isn't a huge mistake if it is one, but it would be super easy to get 10-20 drone kills and it wouldn't cost too much time. Maybe he pushes in an attempt to prevent Reynor from getting a critical mass of units, but it feels like many other player would have at least picked off the stranded drones in this situation. (I just watch sc2, I'm not good at it)
If he would have stayed to kill the 4th Hatchery, Reynor could have had time to get one more round of units from his other hatcheries. So it was a good move to push for the advantage he had, as just one base production that would trickle in from behind is easily manageable as it can only produce at most 6 zerglings or 3 hydras. But the time it would take to shoot 3-4 volleys at the hatchery would be enough time to get 10 more supply for Reynor at the third.
In the context of this game, Nightmare is doing a bigger all-in (no tech or expo follow-up) so it's critical that he prevents Reynor from getting a stable army instead of killing the economy (hydras on the backline can target low HP blink stalkers much easier compared to melee zerglings). Notice how incredibly close the fight is even when he didn't target the 4th base. If he gets distracted or delays his attack by seconds, he could've not ended the game and been in an even(?) spot
Nightmare is the only pro that understands what every gold league player knows deep in his soul: No zerg army can withstand any protoss army of any size. A gold league protoss would 5-0 Serral.
31:30: Reynor lost SO many Corrupters and Lurkers just to kill that Nexus... Before that, he has been doing a great job of being cost-effective. 36:20: This is ridiculous amounts of free damage. Since that Nexus massacre, I feel like he's lost a whole army's worth of units for free. Surely trading would have been better?
More brain-hurty PvP plz. Especially if it's Reynor, Showtime, Parting, Has, Astrea, and/or Nightmare. Blindfolded lightsaber duels on a tightrope over a volcano! Yeah!
The mothership gives you a free recall why not just use it for defending or sneak recall attack. Protoss needs better strategies. Lurkers use your oricals to freeze them in place where they stand instead of revelation. There's more.
Why Reynor Loses to Protoss: It's simple, he's not getting vipers fast enough. When he does, he lets them get bullied by templars by sending them in too early. Send the vipers in mid-fight, to guarantee the archons, and immortals go down, and to make sure they don't get Feedback'd to death. Serral would've won all 3 games, because it's the first thing he buys out of Hive. He always gets at least 2 vipers and controls them immaculately. They don't add to the DPS of your army, but it greatly subtracts from theirs. Vipers are way more cost efficient than Mutas if well controlled. 2 Abducts from each Viper is about -600 resources total on most Robo units, which is worth about 10 probe kills mid game considering speed of production, lower DPS in their army. So protect them, bind an overseer into their hotkey, etc. And it's the best tool Zerg has to offer. Serral also always waits until he knows where the Templar are before sending in Vipers. 13:30 - Still no vipers. He has the money, 3 well controlled vipers would've made that game look easy had he gotten them instead of Mutas. 21:28 - Hive is done, but still no vipers. He could've used them to shark around and pick off units or complement his run-bys. Use them to pick off units in the natural and get them away from shield battery. Parasitic bomb down the rest of the oracles, etc. 28:26 - Example of bad Viper positioning. Scout their army with changelings more, so more overseers. 45:21 - Vipers weren't viable. He attacked too early, without your whole army, and you should've pulled drones to get an overwhelming victory. Then dealing with single warp-ins is manageable. Better scouting would've helped too but not required. He also could've given up the base and bought yourself a little extra time. Then he would've had to attack on creep into your 3rd which is advantageous to Reynor.
Suggestion. Would it be possible for you to have a second screen that informs you about all "stats and data" and let us know about it? So we can see your main screen with production up 100% of the time and not have to see popups of that data? It would be awesome if that was possible. Of course, love your vids and will continue to watch everyone of them with a thumbs up! Just wondering if it is a possibility :) Best wishes Winter !!
Counterargument to your science color argument: green is the biology/chemistry color, blue is the physics color, and mechanical/engineering science (where different from physics) is orange.
Protoss needs to learn to use gateways as gateways. They are your base armor with cannons behind them. Make a small opening for zerglings to funnel them into a cross fire. So you don't have to think about zerglings run buys. The income is what wins not winning a fight. And one or two dark Templar on defense with a mothership and you don't have to focus on base defense as much.
Wth happened with your Twitter account? 😅 Was gonna just tweet at you to joke that the Probe is the best worker unit in the game. They're basically carriers except they launch photon cannons. 😂
Hey man, love sc2 since it's release, love watching it, but your channel focus on the gms... tired of seeing the pros ALL the time. Gonna unsub, I could've just done it, but figured I owed you a why.

Nice...
Zealots are the coolest units in the game IMO. I love watching them charge in to slice and dice!
Agreed. My nick in sc2 is PsiBlade:)
Played SC1 unimaginably poorly as a child, and SC2 gives me heart palpitations. Love your videos man, super entertaining walk down memory lane
"Their going to have to go back to the spawning pool for that one." Bro you are really great at what you do lmao
Winter waits for the worst joke in the cast... then says "like and subscribe". Perfect.

I believe it is
Just my mic
Something like that ..

Im not good at all either, maybe he felt like he got it? He did warp in some zealots later, they could've dealt with 4th base easily if need be

I think it was important to keep the snowball of stalkers destroying reynor's army so there would never be any ability to respond to the attack.

when a single zergling was fighting againest a zealot, the zergling did also a good split
What happened to the Mutas in game 1?
seeing this efficient surgeon gameplays is sure not a nightmare

I misread stallion as salmon and kind of wanted salmon pizza . I doubt either of these though, oh man getting old sucks
41:08. Jimmy FTW.
Probably the best I've ever seen Nightmare play
Is it just me or does it seem like at the top level protoss’ chance of winning plummets once they build a carrier
Physics and chemistry are blue. Biology is green.
Jimmy is actually Dark

Let me put on some my chemical romance in my CD player while this old man likes and subscribes 😭
When do we get to see Jimmy???
great games!
I knew it ! Jimmy is a GenZ !!!!
Reynor got Protossed so hard in game one, lmao.
+3 atk made a difference in the first game
NightMare’s card doesn’t have his name on it.
That first game was rough to watch from reynor, so many poor trades for no reason, especially after watching solar in those tournament finals
Title correction: This new Starcraft 2 strategy _that doesn't work._
Let's Go!
Raynor are wery good lately
I always like winter’s videos
your thumbnails always look good sir
You got my like at 16:15
And this comment
Looks like Reynor not too hot against koreans.
Just watched him lose against Classic.
I suspect he is gonna be out of GSL in the group stages.

Way to go nightmare!
I literally never see Reynor win
STOP CALLIN ME OLD
Every time zerg goes into mutas and delays hive, I die a little inside.
It seems like you are adding 1 like per cast. 😂
Tempest sound is not all that bad in the cast ...
Are the hearthstone cards real modifiers? Or just flavor text for the players?
The mass Tempests was doing so well, I wonder what that game would've looked like had he not gone the Carriers and just went Tempests from the start
Nice
Thank You
