This skirnish show beautifully how flavourfull Starcraft can be. Zerg reproduce so much quicker and produce a lot of troops, meanwhile Protoss got tricks and attacks the weak point of enemy army. Both players were equally matched and one mistake from either of them was gonna end the melee.
You can 100% tell that Flash and Rain are talking about Protoss together. The last time I saw someone use their corsairs like this was Flash playing off-race vs Soulkey and he bodied him in pretty much the same fashion. Ever since I saw that game I have wondered why Protoss don't harass so heavily like that and BAM Rain comes in with this play.
Calm and Rain are in that tier of “could just randomly make bo4 / finals in asl” at any given time, a beautiful matchup between two of the best to ever do it.
StarCraft is such a cool game. Overlords allow the Zerg to start the game with detection, but they are also the source of their supply - losing them in battle can be devastating. It's amazing what Blizzard pulled off in 1998 - glad this game is still alive and kicking!
No, no information on who's playing in the title, just "Invisible Men." _lmao_ . I saw the thumbnail before the title and it took me a minute to realize "wait, that's the title??" Artosis, you memer :P
every single time a protoss goes 2gate corsair i think, "look at all that energy on those sairs.. that's so many disruption webs. i wonder...." It would cost 500/400 to get the beacon and research. it seems totally plausible that it could be worth it, especially if you've got a group of 8-12 sairs already. it would make the zerg have to deal with it carefully, and that seems worthwhile to me. it'd be a gigantic help in holding off a hydra bust for *MINUTES*, it'd make diving on overlords way easier, it'd help in sniping 4th bases, it'd make lurker contains a bit softer.. it'd take 15 seconds of utility away from dark swarm.. and most importantly, it's a really cool looking spell that's fun to watch. it just sounds so good to me. i wonder if it has been tried lately?
Are you effen kidding me? Rain 💪🏻. So many other people would GGed right after that first hydra horde. The intelligence and micro was as good as it gets
@@CaptRazer But at least you don't bleed THOUSANDS of minerals and dozens of larva just on overlord rebuilding. I cringed so hard the second part of the game.
Dude, the 5 DT's to clear out the base... Followed by corsairs cutting off EVERY overlord coming over for detection. My goodness, that was JUICY.

That's exactly what makes this game incomparable…
Wow this game is one of the best you’ve shared with us yet Arty. Definitely a highlight reel episode
That was an absolutely incredible game
Feels like Calm was titled as hell after first time he failed to kill Rain. Couldve made a spore for safety.

Incredible back and forth. I thought it was over at several points but amazing rally back.
Rain is crazy inventive and capable, what an insane game.
Corsairs + Dark templars is Raszagal's favorite combo.
Ha, good point!
Calm and Rain are in that tier of “could just randomly make bo4 / finals in asl” at any given time, a beautiful matchup between two of the best to ever do it.
No. Cslm is not in same lague as rain
that was nuts. I haven't watched broodwar in a very long time, and it's amazing that the strategies still change and are so varied
He's massively over made overlords!
thirty seconds later Calm is supply blocked again.
I want to see how many overlord kills those corsairs got
It is amazing that a game is being still discovered at this age can still be so fun to watch
I think I got nerd chills watching this game
Man, the hell was that game, so much surprise, unbelievable sincerly
Amazing how a match that was consistently under 100 supply could be so good
Spoiler blocker
You guys are the heroes the world needs
HERO!!
We need more of these! Sick of reading the spoiler on the comments.
Thanks sir
Protoss wins
He really came back from the hydra dive early game
Rain's micro should win an award for best of the year.
That must be the most frustrating way to lose
Amen
An absolute gem of a game. Probably my favorite replay of 2023 across both BW and SC2
a must watch for sure
That was one of the sickest games, i love everything I just witnessed. Thanks for another amazing cast!
This is art!
Amazing game with unusual comeback, thanks for casting Artosis!
absolutely sick game.
wow i literally opened my mouth wide when i saw his comeback
Which was extra convenient for me ; )
I left the money on the kitchen counter
@@mackhomie6 lmfao
That was one of the best games I've ever seen.
This has to be one of the best games that I have ever watched
I love the English nicknames Koreans give players. Like if you do too many Nexus firsts they'll just label you "Greed Man", lol.
That was pretty crazy! Thought that was gg well played when he kept building corsairs with all the hydras spawning. Well done!
Great game with OG colours. Amazing.
those storms were crucial
Can't say I've ever seen something like this before, amazing stuff.
Zerg should have just invested in a few spore colonies to deter Corsairs diving on the overlords.
Artosis: oH mY gAwD gUyS I HaVe CHilLs
9:38 that's a huge group of corsairs?
Rain is such a beast when he puts his mind to it.
Yo imagine having 6 Corsairs with Disruption Web when a horde of Hydralisks roll up on your base of cannons.
4:40 Rain does a Kobe where he makes the lings run into the drones so the probe can get away
That was the sickest game ever!!
Corsairs ftw. :D
9:38 A huge amount of corsair yes :P

That was absurd. It was an even better Corsairs play than Bisu himself.
Calm must be reconsidering his life right now.
Phenomenal game, the execution on that Corsair play was so perfect
Great game. I loved the usage of the corsairs
14:00 SC equivalent of D-Rose driving to the rack
That was an incredible game amazing to see someone dropped solo and somehow live counter and then take the win well done
Wow! Those DTs were clutch!
What a crazy game!
What a great freaking game
Sick game
I was hoping to see this continue for a little longer
Rain lost 3 probes.
Indeed
This was so enjoyable to watch and Im not even a big ZvP enjoyer
Wouldn't some spores have saved the situation?
I watch artosiscasts while doing cardio 😂
Speeds up the process.
Nobody could win from that spot but rain. Fcking if didnt get so much money from variety stream wed have protoss bonjwa 100%. MOST INSANE COMEBACK
incredible come back for Rain.
I love this kind of play, really fun to watch than your usual standard usual safe build.
When protoss builds mass corsairs, I think the only counter is to build lots of spore colonies and play defense until the midgame.
Or really like just 2
Why didn't he just build like one spore and park his overlords there until he could sort out the corsair situation?
wow ! Crazy game ! Thx for sharing this one ... and the others
Oh boy, another unofficial Bo3, I love these dude, keep it up!
This game reminds me of Episode 3: Homeland mission from original campaign :D
Yet again a wonderful pick of replay.
that was a rage quit at the end by purple once he lost his scourge lol
Given that quantity of corsairs, is it worth research disruption web? I mean when u defend against hidralisk rush
Great game. Thanks Artosis
those overlords running away in clumps... protoss wet dream right there
gotta love when Invisible Men steal the spotlight
As a chess player I adore rare openings! GG!
what a beautiful match~
Whaaaat? That was crazy! Complete craziness
Solid game of Starcraft.

How greedy do you have to be to walk in and kill 30 probes then not make a single spore colony against exclusively corsair/dt
im the invisible man
im the invisible man
INCREDIBLE HOW YOU CAN
13:44 Understatement of the year!

This was such a satisfying win
Wow, what a comeback.
this game was insane
Havent watched an RT solo Cast in a while but i had to click on this vid because i could just feel his rage when i read the title.
OMG that was insane, what an incredible game!!!
this game was insane wtf
Great game, thanks Artois
would have been cheaper to invest in some spore colonies to protect the overlords at home at least.
Such an exciting game!
That was an awesome comeback
Corsair be like: it is a good way to die, in flashing light sickness
Man wouldve loved to see disruption web in this game
Are you effen kidding me? Rain 💪🏻. So many other people would GGed right after that first hydra horde. The intelligence and micro was as good as it gets
😂 literally no pro would’ve gg’ed
Awesome dark templar spawn time. 🔥
Why wouldn't calm just make a few spore colonies and park his overlords there?
Because then the hydras have no detection against dark templar
@@CaptRazer But at least you don't bleed THOUSANDS of minerals and dozens of larva just on overlord rebuilding. I cringed so hard the second part of the game.
That was a awsome battle!
absolutely moronic that he keeps clumping his overlords. send 4 or 5 lords to the upper right corner of the map ffs!
He definitely rained on calm's parade and left him angry.
This was rad!
