This is probably my favorite pair of caster. Rotterdam is my absolute favorite caster, and Nathanias is a perfect compliment. Although I have to say, I'm really like Maynard casting this tournament.
It's hard and stressful. I love SC2 and I've been playing occasionally since WoL (and BW when I was young), but I watch it much more than play. There's always so much to do and my hands can't keep up, it's overwhelming.
one thing ive noticed over the years...I don't think they like each other too much. as if they get bored with what each other has to say...anyone else notice 'bad chemistry'
yeah game five was lovely.. all violet had to do is click on the other guys units once and they die with an over powered spell.. How amusing.. and entertaining!!!!
One thing I am glad about violet is how he always go roach/ravager against bio. Personally i still think roach/ravager is inferior to bio/tanks/medivacs given that in the late game (once 2/2 or 3/3 is researched) you can't trade efficiently against a bio army. But it is good for me to learn how to use it effectively against terran.
I don't understand how the game 1 was lost, the micro from the loser was INSANE. And yet it felt like it wasn't enough.What else could he do to prevent this?
+Timothy Chun I don't think they were talking much over each other. Both trying to keep the flow going and showing respect. It's nice to have 2 casters with sometrimes varying opinions of the game, keeps it fresh and analytic.
+Timothy Chun Biggest problems was they didnt realize how useless liberators was against mass corruptors (that was not clumped up into 1x1 meter, why would they be)...
+blackmagic x My take is that they realize, they just feel compelled to play along rather than say something like than "oh he went sky terran, well he'll die now since vipers are still broken, let's call gg in advance"
what are these players' APMs nowadays? Like below 100? Ability to separate the affected ones from the mass was basic in SC1 (science ship vs mutalisks).......We are just too old now :(
+雾盗虹 Apm is still high, about 300-400. But you are missing the fact that there is no need for micro in Starcraft 2. It sucks, but it is what is it. In starcraft 2 is better spend your time building new units and buildings rather than keeping old units alive.
+blackmagic x not really. You really have to get up to hive tech first. Plus the plating upgrade takes a long time. To get to that requires a lot of gases which you probably need a fifth or a sixth. Once Hive tech is reached, it is more of a timer before Terran's bio reign is over.
But what exactly can the terran do more than try to end the game early? Not much terran late game units maybe other than a lot of ghosts could have changed the outcome of that attack.
+blackmagic x Exactly, terran is forced to be active and cannot be sitting duck cause zerg finally does have strong eng game unit capable to destroy end game toss and terran units. Otherwise, it takes a lot of time to built more ultras and chutinous plating and such army is expensive and other races do have time to end game.
"Look guys! We're not the same Polski who got blitzkrieged by father Deutschland in two weeks anymore! We even have a decent capital, and are hosting pointless gaming events! Come to Poland, our country still exists and 'is a thing' ! :D"
Lol, casters need to read up, they obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Liberators are soo good blah blah, then 10 corruptors took them down, lol that really shut them up...
+Farhan Siddiqi haha exactly. Liberators are a siege unit, sure they do splash damage to air but pro players don't group their mutas or whatever into one single pixel when facing liberators either.
it is moron when you have to also constantly split ur fucking units at the same time and micro like crazy while trying to drop on them as well.. These terran players have to do six things at once.. they can't just spam out units and powerful spells like zerg and protoss.
Hah I know I've played way more AI matches than PvP. I guess I find PvP more stressful. I'll play against others in Hearthstone or Overwatch, but Starcraft is different for some reason.
Spoiler Alert! Game three: Harass the shit outta zerg... push well...lose to ultra...yep. The zerg race is too glorious for this a-move bull shit. Zerg is becoming the new toss. Oh...Just counter it with ghosts and liberators... just control all those liberation zones, ghosts and spells...while stuttering bio... while the enemy moves ultras, balled up with ravagers and roaches, backward and forward...Broken ass shit.
+SuperNate42 ok... so unless you go all in to keep a greedy zerg off ultra tech, you lose? snute was sooo greedy. he was going to lose unless masa went super greedy as well. There is no late game equality. that's my point.
Every time i see pro sc games i start seeing lol as tetris again...
+Sep Fisch when i play lol after sc i feeling me playing pacman
+Sep Fisch Lmao just started sc yesterday and thats so true. Fuck LoL cancer,
+Sep Fisch easy to learn, hard to master, just like sc2. you dont have to be mad about lol just beacause it is more popular.
Carl Geijer i have 800h in lol im not mad at it im just to stupid for sc2 :D

I never play this game, but I watch it all the time

Game start at 18:15
thank you :)
thx!!!
one thing ive noticed over the years...I don't think they like each other too much. as if they get bored with what each other has to say...anyone else notice 'bad chemistry'
I wish we could have 1080 in 2016...
+Constantine Ly looks fine to me
+Constantine Ly They prefer to use 720p @ 60 frames per second to allow viewers to better follow the action. IMO, high FPS > high res
NOT MUH PIXELS!!!
Seriously, what is with people's obsession with resolutions..?
+Constantine Ly haha
2 hrs? Looks like a good set of matches!
The caster also watches basketball too haha 23:18
Very good match, especially game 5, i enjoyed every second.
yeah game five was lovely.. all violet had to do is click on the other guys units once and they die with an over powered spell.. How amusing.. and entertaining!!!!
Good lord those roach runbys annoyed the piss out of me and I play zerg and am just watching.
Will you upload all the SC2 Katowice 2016 games? There are more games from the round of 32 and round of 16.
+Georgios Moustakas likely just the ones with commentary, but perhaps were lucky :)
why don't people use hydralisks no more
İn this game terran first went 5-6 reapers so zerg thought marauders because terran skipped the marines for a while.
como eu queria entender o que eles falam,eo pior e que minha professora aviso q isso ia acontecer.
Why is the highest quality available 360p?.....
+Richard Powell it will be better later, it takes time for TH-cam to process them
+Wat song I figured it's just weird usually it's uploaded at 1080 and then TH-cam allows you to downscale. but maybe I'm missing something
just epic!
One thing I am glad about violet is how he always go roach/ravager against bio.

all you have to do is spam units than get ultras and win..
Great game!!!!
Dat tank micro. Dat Zerg roach reinforcement. Great game 1.
Its great to see TvZ isnt ling bling muta spam and marine widow mine spam
I don't understand how the game 1 was lost, the micro from the loser was INSANE. And yet it felt like it wasn't enough.What else could he do to prevent this?
he could pick a different race
Wow game 5 was crazy. Also, commentators need to stop talking over each other and contradicting each other.
+Timothy Chun I don't think they were talking much over each other. Both trying to keep the flow going and showing respect. It's nice to have 2 casters with sometrimes varying opinions of the game, keeps it fresh and analytic.
+Timothy Chun well why don't go there and try to do the job?
+Timothy Chun Biggest problems was they didnt realize how useless liberators was against mass corruptors (that was not clumped up into 1x1 meter, why would they be)...
+blackmagic x My take is that they realize, they just feel compelled to play along rather than say something like than "oh he went sky terran, well he'll die now since vipers are still broken, let's call gg in advance"
Fantastic games! Go Violet! sorry for marinelord, great player and fun to watch
match 18:34
+yagami41 36:05
"Cause the casters were talking to themselves"
49:03 weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Juicy hit indeed.
"Freedom zone" OMFG i died
+F.u.c.k Allah It's free liberator estate.
what are these players' APMs nowadays? Like below 100? Ability to separate the affected ones from the mass was basic in SC1 (science ship vs mutalisks).......We are just too old now :(

I feel like Violet could have counter those liberators with some hydras...
+hahahacho only if Mlord didnt scout it, because hellions fuck hydras
how would people know how to play this game and you probably have lifetime Fighters something like that and which is much better than the blue one
@ end of 4th game, that zerg push feels just way overpowered. i think they need to nerf the armor upgrade on ultras, just way too powerful
+blackmagic x not really. You really have to get up to hive tech first. Plus the plating upgrade takes a long time. To get to that requires a lot of gases which you probably need a fifth or a sixth. Once Hive tech is reached, it is more of a timer before Terran's bio reign is over.

To była dobra gra... Nie tak jak, np. Scarlett versus Mana.
Nathanias is NOT a British person and I doubt he has ever been anywhere near England. He needs to stop calling things cheeky.
+TheSlick44y Why so cheeky mate?
+TheSlick44y But I don't need to be British to call you a plug ugly tosser
baldy b Dan Stoltz oi, fellas no need for that blimey talkback you slick dicks!
I feel like this game really shold not be even comentated.
+StetsonBang! I feel like ur comment should not have been posted

"Look guys! We're not the same Polski who got blitzkrieged by father Deutschland in two weeks anymore! We even have a decent capital, and are hosting pointless gaming events! Come to Poland, our country still exists and 'is a thing' ! :D"
Lol, casters need to read up, they obviously have no idea what they are talking about. Liberators are soo good blah blah, then 10 corruptors took them down, lol that really shut them up...
+blackmagic x Oh anti air is good vs air units who knew :O
+Farhan Siddiqi haha exactly. Liberators are a siege unit, sure they do splash damage to air but pro players don't group their mutas or whatever into one single pixel when facing liberators either.
pick up and drop siege tanks is not that hard
it is moron when you have to also constantly split ur fucking units at the same time and micro like crazy while trying to drop on them as well.. These terran players have to do six things at once.. they can't just spam out units and powerful spells like zerg and protoss.
i like to stick to playing vs ai :D
Hah I know I've played way more AI matches than PvP. I guess I find PvP more stressful. I'll play against others in Hearthstone or Overwatch, but Starcraft is different for some reason.
same haha.
marine should have made vikings !!! did he forget about this ?
very is at stender
Violet so handsome :3
Air terran is not answer too...
:)
cause they don't have an answer unless your a god.
warit
Spoiler Alert!
Game three: Harass the shit outta zerg... push well...lose to ultra...yep.
The zerg race is too glorious for this a-move bull shit. Zerg is becoming the new toss.
Oh...Just counter it with ghosts and liberators... just control all those liberation zones, ghosts and spells...while stuttering bio... while the enemy moves ultras, balled up with ravagers and roaches, backward and forward...Broken ass shit.
Just in the other game though, violet tried to go ultras and marinelord wrecked him, so clearly it's not broken
+SuperNate42 ok... so unless you go all in to keep a greedy zerg off ultra tech, you lose? snute was sooo greedy. he was going to lose unless masa went super greedy as well. There is no late game equality. that's my point.
+Kyle Summers I meant ML not masa lol.
Nethnias is such, SUCH a but hurt Terran. My God.. such weak, biased casting ffs
Alot of mistakes!!! OMG
1
boo
yes !!! noob lost ^_^
5th
noob zerg
