One of the greatest comebacks I've ever seen. It's already hard to comeback in a zvz after a disaster of an opening, but to comeback like this against mutas... amazing.
Don't call it a comeback, he been here for years.
It would have been an easy win for Denver if he hadn't gone for Mutas. A proper ground army would have sealed the deal.
@@catshadowdragon He had zero tech to transition out of Muta though.
Nice comeback against an opponent which plays stupid af. Not to mention Denver was a fuckin coward asking for a draw...
if he just built any banes and rushed in it would of been over for the ground troupes.
muta+banes but he just sat on it and sent all the zerglings to the base.
Denver smelled blood but turns out it was his
too soon (in more ways than one)
Call an ambulance, but not for me!
haha his nose bleeding
lol, Elazer at 12:43 with the supervillain hand rub.
I think its to keep his hands as warm as possible. Moments like this cause adrenaline to start hitting the body hard which causes the body to pull heat away from extremities and you definitely don't want cold fingers when trying to keep up APM.
hahahaha his like... oh man you will lose this one in the worst way possible
Personally, I think a screenshot of a single drone and 2 queens chasing a bleeding spore crawler off creep would be a way better thumbnail for this clown fiesta of a match lol
He actually listened to you!
Missing the 2 queens tho
I love the fact that both players smile at the End!! Nice game!
I love the gg wp at the end of the match. Great sportsmanship after what could be (and probably was) a very tilting game!
Set the video to 2x speed and watch Denver's face, you can literally see him go from excited and happy through all five stages of grief. Dude played his heart out.
What a great game with great commentators
wrg
Who is the other caster other than DeMuslim?

Im so happy there was no zombiegrub!
Props to Elazer. The last time I saw him perform so well was a few years back in GSL vs the World where he took out Dark.
Easily one of my new favorite games ever
Man, games like this just makes me question why the hell isnt SC2 more popular
Because people prefer easier game?
Because games like this are super rare?
Watching these awesome games are one thing, when it comes to playing sc2 is beyond most gamers nowadays
It takes a certain amount of knowledge and buy-in to understand how this game is so awesome. Keep in mind that to someone who hasn't been playing a long time or watching a long time, this just looks like two groups of bugs attacking back and forth without doing much for seventeen minutes.
IMO SC2 is more fun to watch than play, brain too small to play it well and every game is a slow start compared to more popular esports. That said, SC2 has been aging really well in the competitive scene and should retain a loyal following for years to come, but doubtful it'll ever get the recognition it deserves as the most beautiful esport.
Beautiful unit composition and game by Elazer! Quick thinking and very dynamic in his understanding and transitioning, beautiful to watch!
He’s probably already tilted dozens of people doing the exact same thing on ladder
Elazer the king of impossible scenarios.
A great lesson in never giving up!
Denver: "Looks like a draw to me 🤓"
Elazer: " _Should've gone to Specsavers_ 👹"
The ultimate bluff
Denver: Just gonna go muta now, I won already
Elazer: Got to tech hard muta counter....
Denver: Muta still pretty good I guess.
Elazer: Hope he doesn't change unit or I am done, I got no economy...
Denver: Muta... still good...?
I normally can't stand ZvZ, but man was this something to behold.
as a zerg i share your opinion, i hate zvz
as a zerg, what's wrong with it? ZvZ is the best imo for the micro
@@1sunshin3 Definitely agree the micro is unparalleled a lot of the time, it's tough to explain but I think the best answer is how centered it is around uniform army compositions. Some of it's personal perception, but watching roach ball 1 engaging roach ball 2, or the muta cloud chasing the ling pack just doesn't interest me as someone who doesn't play Zerg. In all the other matchups it feels like you get more varied comps and quicker transitions, and it's focused on key units. Individual units have counters but remain not just viable based on positioning, but crucial, so you need a counter-counter, etc. It makes for (often) more dynamic matchups where marines jump unsieged tanks and libs push sieged ones, carriers pick their fights with vikings carefully, ghosts look for that EMP even as infestors look for the fungal, ravagers and sentries change the state of the battlefield, prisms and medivac drops apply pressure elsewhere, and so on. All just my 2 cents though.
1:54 Lmao he is happy!
What a hilarious game that was, such a treat to look at their cameras.
That was incredible. One of the best ZvZ I have ever seen.
This channel never clickbaits and its AWESOME 👌
I now 100% understand why the infested terran ability was removed.
12:42 the way Elazer rubs his hands like "lets do this" LOL
This is the best comeback I’ve ever seen.. I love creative games like this!
"Call an ambulance! Call an ambulance! *But not for me* "
Elazer: "I'll call you a hearse."
Definitely the best game of 2021 so far from two great players. Y'all blow my mind.
14:42 Denver: "how the f do I kill those?"
Wow!! I'm changing my portrait to Elazer as well! Incredible!
Elazer coming back HARD, full out war at the first opportunity to retaliate without relent, without stopping, fully committed. And boy, was that intense
Haha very sick, elazer's face at the end of the game says it all!
Elazer: Call an ambulance - but not for me!
Looking forward to seeing this as Harstem's game of the week
I’m a big fan of the SC2DAY series
how hard can you throw championship 2021: denver, clear winner
WOW, victory well earned damn.
I can't believe the massive throws
My jaw dropped when I saw 68 mutas had been killed
in the words of the Japanese fisherman... never give up XD
DONT LOSE YOUR WAAAAYYYY
Man of culture 😌
Denver was a good sport about it too
Isn't this what separates the top players from the... not quite top? Being able to keep their composure? Game wasn't over, but Denver just gave up. If he had been able to get to Brood Lord tech, even a couple Broods would have changed the defensive math on his side of the map.
Title did not disappoint
Great game. Great casters.
Just rename the video title to: "Game Of The Year" already! :D
Deal ;)
@JM Coulon Draws feel like a novelty because they are relatively rare.
But a real best game should have a winner imo.
I think the correct play would be just make mass spines and wall off his main/third so infestors become useless if he ever wants to use it offensively, and try to harass with mutas so there's another reason infestors would have to stay in Elazer's base.
Such a fantastic game!
Games like this make me wish the Day[9] Daily was still a thing.
Still waiting on the special 200th episode.
Now that was a clutch comeback if I've ever seen one
OMFG i thought it was a click bait but hell no! what an amazing game even Denver smiles at the end like.... how the fuck you could win this one? :O
Your LinkedIn popped up for me as a suggested lol. What type of cookies is linked in saving to suggest you, the CEO, to me, an electrical m/e lol.
Perfect example of how to throw a game. Never transition from muta ling
This was a sick match.
Loving the reactions and emotions, nothing like that with Korean pros
Elazer never fails to entertain.
Elazer, świetna robota, nie sądziłem że uda ci się z tego wybrnąć :D
The facial expressions are great.
it looked like denver had a clear advantage but then went too defensive
No Retreat, No Surrender
Polish blood
@@holographicmeatloaf1596 I don't like Nazis. Blood is important for the mentally retarded.
The second Elazer took the map control with that "base" near Denvers natural the game was basically over. As Denver lost all of hes pressure he had on Elazer.
Denver could have tried to make hidden base on Elazers corner of the map and hope he doesnt find it for easy mining and hopefully get some heavier land units out that Elazer didnt had anything against except few roaches and spines but he dedicated too much on muta after he lost map control and Elazer basically made infestors to hardcounter him into defeat
As a noob I wonder: was it brilliance of Elazer or total misplay of Denver?
Both. Elazer played very well and Denver 1) Stubbornly stayed on muta when Elazer was basically countering it 2) knew infestors were being built and didnt just keep going to kill them as soon as they spawn so they dont get energy. 3) Could have countered with the mutas and just spine up his natural.
Would say Denver definitely made the most mistakes here but Elazer played the only way he could really win in this situation and did it fairly well.
Elazer in ZvZ is just built different
15:20 is what you guys came for
Amazing game from excellent players!
Denver getting the final laugh as he advances past Elazer in the playoffs
I love that you can slowly watch it settle in on the players faces that this is a fucking clown match
sick match :)
This belongs in a closest game Funday Monday
Just goes to show starcraft is so unpredictable. What would be a way for Denver to secure the win? Unit transition into roaches to support mutas?
Denver should never go into mutas in the first place, he had great early game, was ahead in bases and drones, he could just go full roaches and end it. What could Elazor do against it? He wouldnt be able to match the numbers of roaches since he was too much behind
this reminds me of wing of liberty
Is there a better mirror match pvp/tvt that can at least match this game?
Not making a ground armor was so painful. 33% shots increase to die by the roaches would have made this so much quicker.
9:00 3 queens and 3 spore crawlers keeping away like 20 mutas from killing all the zero energy infestors... looks like a big mistake to me try figting the static d
.
why the cuts tho
the guy went to the iron bank to get a loan ! I don't know where he got his money, like 2 hours transforming rocks into minerals , unbelievable !
This game is the true meaning of the phrase: Made it by the skin of his teeth.
Best ZVZ of the year
this is one of my favourite zvzs ever xD
What game were they referencing where Elazer asked for a draw?
Wow! Very Impressive!
magnificent game
Amazing game
What is he doing?
He´s beginning to believe.
sick game
if he stopped making mutas he would've won.
Does anyone know the build order Denver used at the beginning?
"It's not zvp"
Savage! XD
that was rough lol
He was like down half workers. Freaking cool game. $100 well gambled. I wouldn't even be mad if I lost a bet like that too.
Shoutout to Harstem for telling me about this match!
catz my favorite zerg caster.
I don't like zvz, but this...this I love
lmaooo how do you lose that
Elazer? Magic Elazer😎
Even Rick Ashley never gonna give us up, why should Elazer? xD
So where's the 100$ paypal? Or Elazer profile pic? One of the commentator is really good at jinxing himself 😂
lmao asking a draw when your opponent is still mining
i think it was a joke from denver he knew he was already lost
Incredible game.
Hermosa partida. Saludos desde Perú
Simplemente hermosa partida verlo en vivo fue epico ...
nota: El comentario en Español que esperabas ?
where is the tie?
Denver did not expand South when E , was in the east. :(
So fun to see of meta stuff
What on Earth did I just watch! Holy shit! :D
What a game!!!!!
