That second game was one of the most interesting i've ever seen. The juke in to hydras and the quick reaction and thinking from Paralyze was top notch.
These were such cool games! I love watching the very top echelon of play but i also really like watching this group just below ASL level and even BSL level. I appreciate your casts! Please dont skip the beginnings of games if you put two games in one video!
I LOVE ASL and Korean pro games because they have the most top tier play, but BSL and even A rank games can sometimes be more interesting because you see sub-optimal strategies in play that lead to unusual scenarios and the games are more varied and interesting sometimes.
Dude, that first game Paralyze has no idea what he is doing. The second he saw 4 lings at the exansion, he should have immediately attacked them and then ran back to his base, started a second cannon, and made sure to block with probes. Instead he hid the zealots behind the minerals, and then let the lings in, and then blocked with probes, and then moved the probes and let them back in to kill the replacement cannon. I guess RT is right about Koreans when he says they sometimes don't know how to deal with cheese as well as normal ladder players because they face more robust strategies more often and aren't defending speedling all-ins every game like us foreign plebs ;P When he hid those 4 zealots at an expo that has no drones and was producing lings I was like "WTF am I watching? Does he really not know that that means speedlings will be attacking his natural in like 2 seconds?" I honestly can't imagine what on Earth he was thinking was happening. Very odd.
Upon the 3-2 match-up, it looked like getting defeated by an insane AI or something of the sort, because it looked too linear. There was no trick over there, just pure mass infantry trampling the enemy defenses.
It seems like Protoss fail to close the gate waaay too often. Especially if they go on offense. Such an essential part of the early game and sad to watch.
When the natural-busting hydras were getting killed by the DT(s), I don't know why an evolution chamber + colonies weren't started on the spot. He knew there's corsairs still alive too, what did he expect it will happen ? Still, these were pretty nice games.
Pros just never want to invest in static defense, because it's a "waste" or a sign of weakness if you do. They've optimized even legit strategies out of the game to the point that they'd rather lose, than create even a single spore colony per base.
I dont understand. Am i just a bad player? The moment you see DT, why not make an evo chamber and a spore + sunk at each base. And to be even more safe against the corsairs, just make 2 spores at the same location for your overlords to camp out at. Is having a few more hydras really worth it after that bust, rather than completely sealing yourself off from DT harassments?
5:25 may sounds crazy but Paralize could salvage this situation. 14 lings vs 22 probes in the mineral line + zealot comming siin definetely doable 1) give up natural --> 2) kill zergs 3d --> 3) make cannon 1-2 in minerak line in the main --> go scouts; What zerg had? Lings, 9 drones, 0 tech, 2 hatch?
Paralyse really seems to comlpetely outclass his opponents. He just KEEPS making costly mistake and that is the only reason this series is close. I guess you can give Oppoirtunistic points to XiaoShuai, but still
wasting micro scouting... lol i win all my games and i do zero scouting. scouting is overrated. you really dont need it. I already know Zealots are comming or zerglings, maybe marines but its like a 80% chance no marines just a bunker and then they going Mech Mines and tanks i dont need to scout because this game is sooo old its pointless i already know whats comming and always ready for it the way i see i love when people scout me because now i have 1 extra working minning money then they do
the invisible man really showed off his power that game
i really respect how consistent you are with these uploads -- it's a lot of discipline and dedication!
Artosis...Very top notch entertainment right here...on point casting with everything that is going on in the madness of this beautiful series...
What a fun series this is to watch! Some crazy moves being done just about every game.
That second game was one of the most interesting i've ever seen. The juke in to hydras and the quick reaction and thinking from Paralyze was top notch.
You know, Artosis laughs about the DTs, but he knows exactly what that shit feels like. Love the content! Long live Starcraft
I like the variety of tactics and how close this series is. Never know what you're gonna get next!
I love the casts man, thanks for the great content
Invisible men bringing a very visible victory once again

The first game was a well deserved loss
One thing you can absolutely rely on, in pro games: little to no zerg defensive structures. Even a single spore colony per base would have saved him.
Especially since paralyze went so heavy with corsairs, just a couple would have saved him from the DT and protected his overlords

this series is getting down & dirty
i love it
DT breaches the eggs at 17:54.
0:03 WOOOOOT !!!!!
The DT play was so gorgeous...
14:00 “XiaoShuai chomped on Paralyze’s gateway…”
Has anyone ever mass DTs and Arbiter recalled into enemy base? Link to vid pls
Wow, what a game!
all the heroes wear capes
Why not build Spore Colonies if you're up against DTs and Corsairs?
Pros don't want to invest in static defense. They would rather lose.
what a game, indeed

2nd game was insane xD GG

@@d0k0night I understand that, but I have seen spore colonies. Sometimes even mass defense. But in very specific situations, indeed.
Is there a strategic reason why I never see Zerg players build spore colonies when their overlords are getting repeatedly picked off by corsairs?
I was thinking the same. But it's hard to make decisions like that, and even if he does, the way to punish that might be to go into a long macro game.
Short answer no time no minerals to waste for it. You do Overlord speed instead.
@volkan gül what would be the ideal zerg response to this scenario if spores aren't part of the answer?
The Tosis!!
can you zoom in and zoom out more often?
I appreciate skipping the beginning after the first match
Nuts second game.
dem early units doe
bet on Paralyze
Давай, давай!
Rush rush rush rush no mas lol
Cool Beans

ggs
I just read awesome comments on invisible man production about how Artosis being defeated by zerglings all in means he doesn't know how to play 😂😂😂😂😂😂

5:25 may sounds crazy but Paralize could salvage this situation.
14 lings vs 22 probes in the mineral line + zealot comming siin definetely doable
1) give up natural --> 2) kill zergs 3d --> 3) make cannon 1-2 in minerak line in the main --> go scouts;

flash dem overlords to death haha
The difference between the real colors of the players and the colors on the minimap is irritating)
3 DTs... so sheeep
