    Which lord of the rings character is most similar to each of these players?
    I've been on a LOTR kick again and I fail an analogy somewhere in this cast and disappoint myself. But not as much as Jimmy disappoints me.
    Also next time they play I expect a 4 hour directors cut with swarm hosts involved somewhere

      Maru = Sauron because he's been so powerful for so long.

      Serral sauron ring and maru froddo,after a long road he finally defeated him...plus maru is short

      Maru is Eomer : no matter desperate the situation is, he will come to save the day ! Serral is the Pink Orc general from the third movie : sending all his orcs to dies while maintaining his cool - banelings in the role of Thronder the ram !

    I really appreciate you taking off all the info, numbers from the screen at the best epic fights. Really makes the fights more intense and focused. Gives the cast a different flare!

    Just got into Plat 3 yesterday as Protoss and I have to say many Terrans in Gold practice the 2/1/1 timing to perfection, I lost a few matches in a row to different opponents before I started to learn the counters, after which I found none of them knew how to macro up after their drops fail.

  • @durkadurka7741
    @durkadurka7741 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Hey man you crack me up! Absolutely love the vids. I also appreciate that you cast different games sometimes.

  • @MagnusAarekol

    Damn this caster is great! How have I not found this channel before?? Matches were sick too!

  • @KantiDono
    @KantiDono 2 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    How about a 'rising lava' map where the lava cuts off the center, and isolates the two non-starting corners as island bases?
    The lava starts raised, then lowers ~5 minutes in when cutting off the center to lengthen early-game rush timings is less relevant (the same role that blocking mineral patches play on some maps). And then raises and lowers on a cycle for the rest of the match. Not flooding any 'important' areas, but might make the defense of your fourth easier or harder (or just more interesting to cast) depending on the matchup.

    • @VeritronX
      @VeritronX 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The late great totalbiscuit gave us a lava map and an acid map among other cool designs being played by pros in his shoutcraft clan wars series at a few points, I'm surprised winter had seemingly forgotten that. The lava map was called New Polaris Rhapsody and was used in that event in 2014.

    • @trstnhn
      @trstnhn 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The best competitive design is to have as few outside factors as possible so the lava idea although would be a fun feature would be horrible for competitive play.

  • @Number1139.0
    @Number1139.0 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    1:31:39 looks like there is plenty of characters in Winter's mind
    There is Brenda who sometime give her voice but for no-queen purposes
    There is Jimmy but Jimmy never speak with Winter's mouth, he only speak in his mind and Winter answer out loud

  • @joelebrown4355
    @joelebrown4355 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This was an awesome series, and at 2:10:45 when you gave the estimate of 15 CCs, you were spot on. Even though you said it was too high.

  • @broww.
    @broww. 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Totalbiscuit had some of those rising lava maps in a couple tournaments, where every map had some sort of gimmick.

  • @Nil-js4bf
    @Nil-js4bf 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    25:00 Hate to be that guy, but the gap is always more than the worker difference because Terrans always have some not mining because they're building stuff. It's quite a significant income loss without mules to help make it up.

    • @skychaos87
      @skychaos87 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Mules have about 2.5x better mining rate than a scvs and you can basically drop mules one after another expired. So for every orbital, its basically 2 additional scvs if you don't scan too often. Terran basically have the best economy late game when there are equal worker count. However, because Zerg can build workers the fastest, they pretty much are ahead in economy from 5mins onwards all the way until late game by massing a huge bank of resources. Protoss have the best economy for the first 3-5mins of the game, and after that they simply fall behind.

      i was just remarking how in a 30 minute game it was still close both players were dry and under 30 workers under 100 supply but serral was up and and and
      walks his lurkers into a perfect concave of tanks and it's over in a heartbeat

    @Owlr4ider 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Maru just doesn't die. Nearly impossible to beat in any late game situation. The best way to kill Maru is early on, Rogue style. Roach+Ravager all the way, maybe a ling all in somewhere in there as well, just pick an aggressive strategy and execute it to perfection, otherwise Maru will find a way to come back and win.
