StarCraft 2: The OFFICIAL Viewer Tournament!

today it's time for the very first viewer tournament an idea that we've wanted to execute for i wanna say like three four years at this point and then we never did but today's the day today today is the day where i will actually check out some of you guys live on stream currently there are 68 players registered for this event i suggest we need one more either way today we're gonna be uh checking out some of the games from all of the participants over here i'm very excited for it over the course of the next couple of minutes uh the bracket will be generated by mr drone rush and nuke who will be uh doing most of her refereeing today should be a lot of fun they'll be uh in control so if you have any complaints about any of the things just you know don't tell me tell them you know it's like a moba blame my teammates don't blame me that's even though it might be my fault so to clarify this tournament was open to everyone below 4 400 mmr so basically everyone in diamond like diamond league one and then below so between bronze and diamond one what that does mean though is that i'm a little concerned that in in round one there's gonna be like two like two players that have never played a multiplayer game before so like below bronze league facing off in like a seven hour long best of three series anyways i can't imagine what i'm trying to get it that that like for some players they're gonna be stuck in a round of 64 whereas everyone else is already in the round of 16. you know what i mean that sounds like me loco that's gonna be me yeah as far as the first place price goes by the way i was thinking about this for a little while so since this is a four fun tournament and since i don't really want to stream with a stream delay uh we don't have any money on the line i'm just gonna assume that we all have a gentleman's or a gentlewoman's agreement right whatever if i'm assuming we have an agreement here where we're not gonna be watching the stream if your game gets casted either way uh the winner of the event will get a coaching session with me if they want to i don't know i figured maybe that would be fun look how long is this tournament gonna last because my parents are gonna be pissed if it goes on until 2 a.m okay um so generally speaking the way it works with professional tournaments is a round of three right so or sorry a best of three usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour a best of five can take about uh an hour and 15 minutes usually that's like a a reasonable expectation that being said that is for people at the pro level so i don't know man it might take a while so we have to round a 64 round of 32 round to 16 round eight round of four grand finals right so we have quite a few rounds i think we should make a full stream but then again it could also be very one-sided and it could be over very quickly who gets to be on stream excellent question um obviously since initially in the round of 64 there's gonna be a lot of games being played simultaneously uh we're just gonna be joining one of them and i'm mostly gonna be joining people that i am familiar with in the twitch chat so if you uh are a regular here i would like to cast your game primarily but it's mostly up to drone rush and nuke uh who are basically gonna be inviting me into a lobby all right let me actually get rushy in the cool let me see if he's here yo what's up gentlemen boys and girls welcome one and all to the first annual loco tv viewer tournament my name is i won't do you want to do this once a year do you want to do it once a week i'm i'm just giving you an option all right yeah well we'll see man i i can do it regularly i hope it works out well i'm actually excited for it it should be a lot of fun all right everyone monthly might be a lot but like we can definitely do it regularly yeah all right everyone i'm looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow for another uh iteration loco tv viewer tournament number two the two bronze league players are still playing around with 32. they're playing a 20 minute long uh early game hey loko we need to talk about something important though what is it how are we gonna how are we gonna handle our openings our opening we have to we have to introduce uh players oh you can take all the honors i'm okay with that all of them i mean if you if you feel really keen on doing them that's fine we can also take turns we can do one each can we hold hands while we do it virtually sure virtu okay how can we be six with a partner you know you're like 12 foot so like you probably have seven foot arms at least it's not the only thing that's seven foot you get long toes hey thank you fashion fruit mojito for the sub thank you hey i can see a bracket rushie are you telling me you're in charge of your own event wild well the last time around that happened on discord i accidentally gave everyone at me and privileges so i don't know a good thing logo leaked the code oh no all right new among us lobby yeah so some people got buys which means that they basically get thrown into the next round right away which is very convenient so basically every round until the finals is best to fight or best of three routers so the finals is best to fight but everything else is best free produce otp gotta buy there you go no there's not an even amount of players look at valranium dude valerian also got a buy this man could have literally slept two hours i'll get roasted wow get roasted though actually he's not even in twitch dead anymore so i'm pretty sure he's already asleep he just had to check in in any afk i'm so mad about it he says yorono we have mooney hello i don't know any of these people i mean it's not my fault where's neep oh yeah these aren't the pro gamers bro pro gamer poke licks that's why his name starts with a p all right loco let's uh let's go ahead and get into our first interview here and then we're gonna take a five-minute break and then we'll talk about our predictions and then have a three-minute break and then we'll pass game number one and take a two-minute break i'm already hurting rashi please my favorite is whenever it's like an offline event and um this like these days people are are pretty good at it i haven't done that many offline events but i remember like one of the very first ones i did they were like okay first game is starting in 20 minutes but what get you guys on camera okay in three two one and we're like what do we do for 20 minutes like i could feel i can feel five minutes that's fine but like 20 minutes you just throw the camera to us really that used to be a thing um these days you know producers also know that that's probably not great now vetoes usually can be pretty quick but i can imagine for a lot of people this might be the very first tournament they're ever doing so like vetoes what is this how does this work uh so real quick in case you're unfamiliar um in starcraft 2 there are seven maps in the current map pool basically um we take turns into like eliminating maps and then we choose the order of the maps uh and the games that you know will be played and obviously if it's the best of five you only get to veto one map each and then you choose the order if the best seven you can't veto anything but you could choose the order which is usually why something like beckett industries is like the last map i guess plate logo do i have to veto i don't even know the maps well there you go veto maps you definitely don't know maybe you've seen one or two i don't know if you caught the mmr of demo by any chance but uh the master league border it's a bug he's in bronze we got him ready all right russia you wanna you wanna do the honors ladies and gentlemen welcome in to our first series of the day here for the loco tv viewer tournament brought to you right here on twitch.tv slash loco tv our first player spawning in the top right hand corner it's our purple protoss player playing for team loco this is rex door whew i'm hyper actually let's go we have like six hours of this but actually you have to cast the other event later as well but it doesn't run it his opponent in the opposite corner with the green zurich drones our true bronze league hero give it up for mr demo all right now right from the get-go i believe rexxar was platinum league if i'm not mistaken and demo i mean it's the first round he's in bronze ah how do you feel about this rushing i mean the protons player was going to win from the get-go because of protoss so wow and i know rextor's probably still listening despite playing the game so rexy um i hope you have all your characters blown up wow take that i don't think the game is going to go to carriers i mean that's fair that's fair i mean we do have a we do have a zerg players going into the very very early pool now i like this look at this taking the drones they're wrapping off their minerals they don't want to waste that the team at alpha swarm taught demo you never waste minerals in the zerg base that's very true yeah i even saved up larva too just to make six zerklings all at once now rextor should be 100 safe against this assuming the war is is correct the cyber corps looks a little far back but i don't think it really matters all too much on this map it is a little bit tricky to wall actually because you have like you can technically walk with like two structures but it's it's it's tight this map is a bit a bit memey he doesn't need to build a zealot though i'm not sure exactly okay there's the zelda yeah he's gonna have the zealots come out here and i think that is gonna be fine he should be able to drop the second to gateway in enough time now with this being nexus first loco i mean this is a good opportunity for him to expand his economy a little bit behind this all he needs to do is kind of hold this down but i'm a bit concerned about the positioning here the the building is going to go down he's actually going to be a full wall as it sits right now which is smart in oh wait no it's not a full wall is that going to be opening on the right no i don't think it's the probe actually helped out there for a little bit which is give him gives him barely enough resources so four zerklings if microwave perfectly can i believe barely take out a zealot but it's not great if the probe does a little bit of damage though which it ended up doing here it's gonna be a-okay adapt will be coming up very soon yeah no tech uh structure yet though it's gonna have to be a stargate right oh no never mind well and yeah he's gonna rebuild the wall here which is smart it is gonna be rather far forward i mean if zerglings do come out in larger numbers that's gonna be a lot of surface area for that forward gateway there goes the stargate back into the main base loco we're probably going to see something i'm sure we're probably going to get void rays that would be my guess void race really oh yeah is that even the same confirmed yeah no you're right yeah i've seen a few void raising my time yo thank you carl for the 500 bits it's a brand new unit that's been added into the game recently i mean i was so excited a year ago when they first buffed the unit to finally see a void ray and multiplayer and i mean don't get me wrong i don't i don't like you know dislike void race it's just that i've seen them literally i wanna say like ninety percent of the protos versus zero because they didn't end with a cannon brush like they're they're yeah they're quite common zerks already going up towards a alerto two queens at the front it should be good he's got to go he's gonna go after or he's gonna have to plant down the third hatch as well so got that one going up right now you know honestly for being a bronze league player the three and a half minute hatch is there's not a terrible timing here so things are kind of winding up lair's a little bit early especially off of only 27 uh workers i do also remember when i was playing like this in platinum league so good for you demo you're doing wonderful he's got a lot of larva man i don't know he's got them selected for a while as well i don't know what we're waiting for oh the overall we're making four overlords okay he's been supply blocked uh he watched in a laser game one time uh and saw a laser make 11 overlords oh my god pull all the probes here it's fight club all the time wrap around and the dutch goes down i think rextor should just uh gg out of respect here he's just principal at this point yeah it's not it's not a terrible situation but this void ray is about a good minute late normally it pops at about 3 40. maybe even a little bit before that either way he's gonna be able to plant down the nexus because of that little shuffle with the zealot earlier should be okay though so i would actually like to see some timing attacks right especially in the earlier rounds of these type of events i think it's good to go for i mean it doesn't have to i think it's good to go for timing attacks in general just to try and see if your opponent uh it's the best of three so it's it's good to mix it up a little bit but it's it's good to see if your opponent is paying attention and playing a clean game hydra then no opponent's going into a hydroliskaden i mean this can be good in deflecting against the uh the void rays that are incoming but i think that could be potentially short-lived director could easily take that twilight council he just started uh really work into some zealot production that's really gonna cause him some issues on being able to defend these hydras are not gonna be able to kite very well and in large numbers zealots are just gonna overwhelm the forces of a demo and there's gonna be a possible dead queen here some good uh micro on that one right it does get dangerously low will the queen be able to survive the other queens are body blocking no brenda gets out with just one health amazing the bones hurt but they always do that she's been walking around this earth for a good six minutes almost it's been a while i don't think this guy is bronze i'm pretty sure i must have misread it i mean he's got a lot of minerals in the bank but that's like the biggest issue he's playing a really good game all things considered going back into droning right now as well i mean his spending has been a little bit shaky right and this is where the uh adapts now also joined the voight race multitasking is where we can really see a difference here so one of the void race is going to get picked off but the adepts are getting some work done yeah there's a little bit of damage here into the natural five six drones have gone down but as long as the drones are only fighting and it's not additional units those steps are going to continue to find damage but losing the void right out of the third base that's a bit of a pain more and more damage he killed brenda wow rextor literally the most toxic produce player i've ever seen in my life brenda had a story to tell she was meant for this world and apparently she just gets killed anyways brenda 2.0 has already popped out of the hatchery 20 drones end up going down here even though it's at the expense of quite a few void race and quite a few depths too i think that's still justified zealot no it's just all army hotkey to zelda two watch the front zerklings don't realize that they can actually just go into the base yeah demo is trying to find a little bit of damage here but he's also trying to clean that back at home zerglings are gonna make their way into the main base here good warpings by rex door to try and eliminate that i'm surprised that it's only been a depths i mean the depths will trade pretty favorably against those uh those zerglings but they're unlike their counterparts the zealot here uh transition on the way though local we've got a templar archives coming down and plus two as well so he's gonna push without a prism with three zealots and a handful of stalkers bit of a strange unit composition when you saw your opponent had a lot of zerklings out but luckily here rexer is catching his opponent yeah as he's making drones could have been an absolute disaster here but yeah he should be okay a couple hydras here is a follow-up as well it's gonna transition down to do you think like i've been i've been i've been shaming a lot of protos players in my own latter games right for playing void right into void right into void right into voter do you think that's the reason why he's going like he's been watching the stream for a long time do you think that's the reason why he's going robo no i think this is a really solid follow-up here uh because once like i said uh earlier i mean once your opponent starts to get really heavy into the hydra count uh it's really easy to overwhelm them with all these ground forces yeah here come the follow-up charge lots and there's just not going to be anything to stop this i mean if you don't have bailings if you don't have lurkers everything on the ground is just going to get shredded apart there's going to be a little static defense here but i think it's going to be too little too late i want to check out what uh demos actual mmr is after this game this is of course the best of three series so we're doing best of threes until the finals which is going to be best of five gt's called right here in game number one but uh he certainly played a lot better than uh what i would have expected from someone who like supposedly was supposed to be in in bronze i don't believe it that was pretty good yeah i was absolutely not a bronze player um i would be if i had to guess i mean you're gonna look it up if i had to guess definitely at least plat at least platinum so it says 2.6k mmr master league portrait or border rotter but i'm not sure i'm actually going to move my camera on over towards this do i have to ask if they're ready i guess so uh now if you now if you're like the esl admin they all do the number spam and it's all just like super fast it's wild three two one three two one three two one okay we're going to romantic side for game number two loco um i mean what's your what's your read on this uh it's it's a pvz which which do you think has the better uh feel walking into this one um i think it's a good map yeah romantic side is pretty balanced all things considered um i think like so what we saw demo doing game number one is skip the rocheworn which can work but you got to be very careful right like one little mistake and uh it can cost you the game if you skip both the bailing nest and the roach warren the game gets very hard when your opponent you know switches into anything that isn't getting countered by a hydras right so the zealots were a good call there's already transitioning towards the robo as well i uh yeah i would like him to primarily just add on a roach warrant in this game like he can still go hydro's but roach won first i i i think that is that's an important component of that as that uh zerg build up uh especially when the meta is right now and i mean as you as you said it's been for a while very stargate heavy stargate into stargate and stargate into endgame and we've seen a lot of transition especially at the pro level where you open up with a couple of those void rays get a couple of phoenix out maybe do oracle harassment there are some options there's a little bit of forking paths there but um getting into that immediate twilight council forged back behind you see archons you see zealots you see those types of units that can just overwhelm the squishier units of the zerg army so having that roach uh production at the very beginning just aids with that especially if your opponent tries to go into something sneaky like uh gleeve of depth timing yep yeah there's lots of things you can go for i actually would like to see a glaive of depth timing i think it's one of the strongest ladder builds like the thing is things like for example a glaive built they require very specific scouts and very specific counters from the opponent and even though stargate definitely is the flavor of the year um i think a depth timings can be super powerful especially if you follow them up with uh with roboplay i mean rexxar apparently wanted to go for robos so i uh yeah i wouldn't mind seeing something along those lines but i can imagine he's probably feeling a little bit more comfortable going for the stargate opener he's got a hundred gas at this point let's go into is he gonna go straight into the warp gate not yet uh and you know it's kind of funny like some of the timings are a little bit loose because people get excited i mean playing on stream there's a little bit of nerves a little excitement that comes along with it too so i can't imagine some people like it's just gonna be their very first tournament ever right right so yeah very different oh okay now uh rexnor wants to try and uh prevent the scout from happening but that is going to be the case it is a twilight council opening very very fast here i mean a lot of indications would lead into a glaive adept timing especially with the uh the gas production immediately taking off and uh more than likely we'll see some additional gateways drop down behind this the warp gates delayed a little bit but that should end up being okay for the timing and there's that glave adept yeah so the tricky part for zerk at this point right is that he's seen okay it's a twilight council we've got ourselves a couple different options charlotte all in it's not very popular anymore but can definitely happen if it's just like you know 32 workers or something along those lines it could be like even a blink stalker push also not very common the most common openers are definitely dark templar into arkham drops or for example glyph the depths uh both options are very good and it's kind of tricky for dessert to deal with those because ideally for the glyph to death version you stick around on hatchery tech for a little while longer um but against dark templar you would like to have mobile detection right so it's a little bit tricky for the zerg here to decide what to do yeah demo is gonna go for the third base right now he's gonna have to start making units at the correct timing so already he's actually kind of low on workers he didn't get link speed not no he did not get leg speed i thought it was already done um yeah so we've got a lot of gas and now the adapts are going to show up it's well known yeah uh this is going to be this is going to be really rough i think the the biggest thing that demo has going for him that rex door doesn't have a robotics facility so this isn't going to have a warp prism so all of these warpings are going to have to come from home could be easily scoutable since the since there's the overlord over top of the natural so that will be able to spot some things and i think it is only three gates so that is also going to limit things but uh the fact that there's no speed there's no roaches the third base is late yeah no no robo facility here is a little bit strange so i guess he's just gonna walk to your depths i guess that's the idea hmm i think if nope wrong direction on the shape i think if this would have been a uh yeah a robo follow up with a couple more gateways would probably be game over at this point though do we have okay we have link speed coming but no roach worn we have a lair almost done but or actually no like a third of the way done yeah look at the whoa okay that's that's creative i gotta give him credit for that the spine crawlers are gonna at least force rex door off to the third base location but he's not going to see any of those units there glaives are going to be heard by yeah they're just going to uh they're just going to go into the main base instead if he holds position here which is exactly what he does he should be able to kill quite a few workers and even though this timing attack is probably not as optimal as you could have had it he's got a third nexus on the back of this it's only three gateways which is a very slow commitment like or a low mitten brother like you were already saying this is yeah looking good for him he's following it up with three more ambitious and dips i don't know what those are going to pull off but they're going to show up at the third base location but a couple of queens will be able to deal with those in low numbers are they are the recall not going to be able to pull those out in time link speed is just about now going to finish up and the follow-up here for the zerg player is pretty low response nothing in the production tab just yet it's additional gateways i think rex door is feeling really confident with that kind of timing and he should be able to just put put the pedal to the metal loco and yep i think drive this one home loco commitment sure chet let's go with that oh couple of zerkins do get in but i think you're right he hasn't had anything on the production tab other than two creep tumors for the better part of a minute now um he's got a lot of larva which has been true for the entire series so far a lot of larva but nothing's going on the man is completely like yeah this is this is where you know you're playing a tournament game you're like i don't know what i'm doing anymore oh i guess i should probably spend my money it's about a minute of nothing going on there other than microwaving three circlings either way he's gonna try and get back into this but yeah you're you're definitely right this is a uh a huge advantage at this point for rex who's now gonna follow it up with more gateways and a prism oh we're gonna get storms i hope you brought your umbrella loco we're gonna see some music we're going to see some warpings of high templar across the field rexella's a little low on gas right now so he's not going to have the immediate investment there but the follow-up tech wise is good from the zerg player he's getting roaches he's getting hydras and he's got spine crawlers take a look at that ramp he's got a little bit of static defense here you know i'm liking the base building here for demo it's just unfortunate that the shades are gonna just go right past yeah yeah i was gonna say he's just gonna walk by it so there's shades right now and the third or in the natural zealots over at the third do you think he researched the khadir and amulet do you remember that upgrade i do i do extra energy right yeah so once upon a time back when i was but a little loco double prism okay i think that was supposed to be an observer but fair enough there used to be an upgrade called kaidir and amulet which allowed your high templar to spawn with enough energy for uh a high temper to cast storm right away which was terrifying so basically there's like oh no there's circling quick warp into templar storm storm storm some storm they've decided to remove that upgrade quite a long time ago but uh i think he needs it man he's got sounding storm done but no high templar that's almost a little bit of bm right there from uh from rex i can't believe it so tunneling claws i like i like the direction this is going uh demo hoping to get a little bit of sneaky uh plays across the map i mean he's gonna have to try and do it off of the fact that he's lost 18 drones and he's got a little bit low of production value right now but hey the hydras are starting to clean up the the run buys on the zelda zelda running into the third base once again to do more damage the fourth base did get shut down and that one did you see the circling holding the arkham back for a good 10 seconds it's the one we deserve though beautiful all right yeah so at this point the economy for dessert is looking a little bit desperate oh god poor zerklings gets sliced up as well i think that rexxar might just be outclassing his opponent ever so slightly he does have a couple of the templar they're floating up a little bit energy back at home i think losing the third base is a non-negotiable if that third base goes down and it's over no chance good good ling run by though uh it is gonna find some uh vulnerable units here the the the energy beams getting force fielded forward one one goes down two goes down it's chaos back at home for the protoss player yeah but at the same time the third base that we're talking about is already gone even the larvae are being killed ultimate bad manners right here for rex who decides to go after the natural expansion a little while later couple zealots or a couple of spine crawlers pushing him back i i think this is pretty much as good as over he decides to continue onwards though with a fourth nexus you know what when you're ahead get more ahead always good advice the great words of our ptosis uh coming in ringing true here uh groove spines are going to be researched here about three quarters of the way done those hiders are going to get a little bit faster in their attacks and a little bit more uh efficient but yeah again it's it's just continued warpings on the opposite side here hydra is actually attacking the units not attacking the thing that's making the units and it's a little bit of hubris but you know i think all in all demo's trying to get himself stabilized here and rextor i feel should just just build up an army he's he's got the production he's got the money he really just needs to get about 50 supply worth units and just push forward i think he'd be able to close this game out yeah no i agree just make a bunch of stuff and go kill him in the immortal works of day nine when they're doing something weird just go kill them just like the words from our toes i like these as well whenever your opponent is doing something off to standard just go kill him his good advice there it is gigi is colt nemo is desperately trying to make a couple of spines but he can only dance for so long gg rexxar moves on of course i mean he's rocking that loco cleantech can you even lose games honestly russia do you ever lose games when you play with the local cleantech oh no you switched to cleantech dude you just told me about how you lost mmr yeah you changed the clintux some time ago maybe that's why three years ago i know some time ago it's basically three years okay yeah okay i mean i i'm willing i'm willing to tell my pro team to to to piss off so that way i can get more mmr like i think they'll understand me now you're getting it so a couple people have already uh finished their very first round um well actually i'm looking at it yeah valmalisk already moved on i'm the program has already been taken out amwa also no longer part of the tournament cased is gone uh so for some of the games it will be um they'll probably update the score after the entire series is done i mean you can update after every map but um yeah loco skipped me did you win air wait where are you i don't even see you there you mean the people need to update the score underscore update disco all right dude i can oh you got wrecked by pokemaster two to zero oof grimdy also one to zero behind i got paired with someone 1k mmr more than me that's rough he's 600 mmr above me acegamer is also losing oh no but all right guys uh expiration point a multi in the chat as well to get a link to russia's channel so you can watch uh watch the both of us you can watch russia's purple v-neck i believe i haven't seen your v-neck yet there it is hello it's me it is rushy let me see okay our next game is ready to go i'm excited for this one no game privacy dan's game ah that's fine what everyone's going to learn all of el harnin's secrets log into the game you can see what valhanna is going to do wow i mean this is a lambo a lambo fan here yeah rainbow versus loco there it is uh let me get on your camera then rushy all right i'm ready all right you want you want the professional intro again you you can do whatever you like rishi i'm ready for it i'm excited oh no a top-tier intro away i want to hear like okay imagine this is the world championships grand finals game number one of a best of seven series nine months of tournament gameplay has led up to this moment that you have to introduce the produce go it all comes down to this one man defending the entire race of protoss from being a meme can he do it for team loco give it up for valhaarnin and the crowd goes mild actually there's a couple people that are excited for it in the chat now that the stream delay catches up good good oh there it is you doubt me yeah bottom left his opponent for brenda spam brenda in the chat for team lambro led flash bg oh man so valerian has been complaining as the protos player about pro tools versus zerg now luckily for him he probably only faces a zerg every tenth game he plays sorry is it true correct uh probably mostly pvp's and pbt's though uh he he's gonna you know at the very least get the block off of mrs paul's expansion he's especially okay maybe i i'm assuming both of these guys know they have to have muted right like they're not gonna be jerks this is a four fun event um red flash if you would have gone for a 12 pool i'm pretty sure that would have triggered val pretty badly because i know he's not a fan of playing against 12 pools but this this you should be able to play got the second gas going guys he gave up on my observing already oh sorry i forgot about it i'll put i'll put my mouse [Laughter] all right my mouse is on the literally on the floor right now this is why i got a wireless mouse a little while ago it's right there all right sorry i forgot about it it's a team game loko i know i'm not used to co-casting anymore guys the last time was with roddy stay at home story cup but that already feels like it's ages ago oh my god this is what i have to work with chad he steals all my bases in 2v2 is he won't let me observe it's true mom mom logan's not letting me observe you said it was my turn i know i'm sorry oh all right it's gonna be a stargate follow-up here from mr velharnin simply the best built uh by the way i did you catch the mmr of both of these guys i think val was at like 40 100 maybe 42 i'm not 100 sure uh velharnan runs between 38 and four okay all right all right that's because that's roughly where i'm at right now okay so they're both around 4k mmr cool so this should be uh this should be like a proper game right both players in diamond should know what they're doing how do you feel about getting your natural expense installed and being forced to take the third uh you know it's so common anymore that usually it's not that big of a deal there's been dimes i won't lie there have been times where i've raged out of a game because it's like i just don't want to do it i don't want to deal with the nonsense but um but red flash is taking it in stride we can already tell that this game is a little bit higher up on the mmr side of things just because there's a little bit more adapting happening there oh nice save on that drone by the way yeah he got a bit unlucky there because they stacked up on top of each other so i think he clicked the right thing but barely didn't get it and look at this so it's a void ray opening into a um into an oracle usually you see that the opposite way around there uh any any thoughts on that no i like it i think uh void right into oracle is really strong third base is a little bit later than you ideally aim for here but um he's at the very least counter the overlords the overlord won't see exactly what's going on red flash already going for a roach warren as well which is pretty good there you go all right there's yeah and it's pretty decent timing as well yep yeah now it's a good timing for it all things considered he does need to connect the bases though because once these oracles start flying around having the creep not connecting the main base in the natural but also not the natural and the third it makes it kind of tricky to defend against the void race and the oracles so maybe dropping the ball on that but yeah not too bad wait the the players in the last game were both silver no absolutely just false i was just wrong uh uh rextor at bare minimum was platinum yeah no just just incorrect information chat oh okay oracle's gonna find a little bit of damage here uh it's taking a fair bit of damage of itself so it's not gonna be able to stick around too long anytime you start taking hull damage you can't afford to dive too far because if you're going to try and go in for drones you've got to have full hull health so that you can absorb a few of those shots before they zip on out but it's a fair amount of zerglings back at home right now we'll be able to protect against any possible ground swell but right now it just seems to be stargate production it's double stargate we've got plus one somewhere roddy is like smiling because he's like yeah someone made it it's good everyone makes it these days though ronnie was just like five years ahead of the meta he was making it with phoenix's okay uh i haven't seen a phoenix's evp in quite some time that being said um red flash is happily droning up now hartnepper asks a great question in the chat he asks if the zerg doesn't do a queen a queen walk why are we watching the rest of the game how do you feel about this russian i mean he's not wrong queen walk seems to be about the best way to try and deal with void rays in this current meta this is also a really good ploy but with the double shield battery out at the third base location these lings are only just gonna suck down a shield battery energy they're not gonna find any major damage they do get six probes though which is more than average you know what this is game number one of a best of three if red flash can win here just playing a straight up game against someone who's going full on skytells um i mean he's obviously practiced for this right he seems to know what he's doing i yeah i don't mind it i mean if you can win this one this is obviously varanen's most comfortable style this is what he likes to play against um yeah i think it's a good idea for the tournament because at that point like what does vale do in game number two it's going pretty circling heavy it's got the baliness coming up as well do we have a hydra then we do have a hydra then but no upgrades on it okay speaking of upgrades no evil chamber upgrades either there's plus one oh he goes carapace and melee all right you know i i kind of like this um it does melee is a little weird but uh but carapace is good mostly because it's or sorry i flipped that carapace is a little weird melee is really good because once you get up to plus two melee baling runways become really really effective and you can pop an entire mineral line with a small amount of bailings i guess the therapist is in anticipation that this is probably going to go late game toss because then you do get a little bit of coverage from the carriers but i think that uh is a sacrifice that's not worth making especially in this situation the mean beams are turned on the the hydras are just not attacking here lambo lambo you got you got to get your man on the hydra count the lings are caught back behind that's not too big of a deal it's going to be the hydras that aren't allowed to fight as well and these voyages are going to get so much damage yeah so that's the main base now in a lot of trouble evo chambers probably aren't too far behind first off a couple hiders that are well i mean walking to their rally point but main base at this point is gone there is a fourth hatch and it's not like he had enough drones to saturate all four bases but it's gonna be kind of tricky to clean up these void race in the meantime valerian is happily stacking up 2 000 resources he thinks this is a moba so he's only controlling these three units over here that happens okay there is there is hero these are his champions yes he's got the whole he's got the whole league of legends team it's all five right here they grouped up there it's it's all mid all mid all voids yep mirror afk is what he shouted when he first joined the game and he realized it was just him [Laughter] well at least uh at least the uh evo chambers are still here yeah you know what i think he's got plenty of hydras to get rid of this right now queens have transfusion energy but it's kind of hard to melt the task oh beams he attacked his own hatchery brenda betrayed us did you see that they killed the hatch oh my gosh red red flash was like here i see what you're doing let me help you i appreciate it man very very nice all right zerkling's over at the fourth nexus of pro tools so vel very gas starved i'm i tried grabbing my mouse i was like where is it i wanted to see if you had all the gas is saturated but then i realized the mouse is over there i don't know if you guys can see it [Laughter] you can kind of see the the yeah it's good it's right oh my god this is amazing he gave up on my observing again now he's not on the right scene chat have you ever seen betrayal like this i was using the stream deck dick deck deck excuse me the stream deck you got the largest one didn't you i do i do have the stream deck extra yeah i have to compensate somewhere kappa pride in the chat please all right so we have storm as a follow-up he's going double robo actually interestingly enough okay lasers here comes the zealots though i'm a little bit concerned for the queens i think you can kill them if you wanted to but there's plenty of hydra somewhere oh there they are i i'm not gonna lie this game is a lot closer than i expected it to be i mean the worker counts are very similar here the hydra counts pretty good i think the biggest thing that vel harnam has going for him right now is he's been very good on the base harass to red flash's credit though i mean he's got three bases that are relatively saturated he's had a nice worker count look oh 69 he ruins it though ruined it wow literally toxic either way yeah he's he's looking good right now so he does need to get the money down though so if vel just built static defense here he could probably get himself to a maxed out sky those army this is a good trait for him as well if we're not mistaken oh they have plus one melee oh yeah they do so they will end up killing that nexus a little bit quicker without the melee upgrade that thing would have stayed alive i'm pretty sure uh either way he needs an additional stargate right about right now as well and then photon cannons and void rays and everything right around we're sorry like yeah just there you go oh that's a fleet beacon all right so why do we make double robo just for fun uh i i mean i i can't imagine why i mean unless he's really worried about pumping out observers but it's still really silly yeah here's the building that he should have built uh yeah there's the fleet beacon coming down so carriers are happening it just says we yeah yeah this is kind of risky right now though you might need does it he does have storms storm storm storm storm storm storm don't want a balloon there you go water balloons are not as good as storms oh i mean all those those hydras just melted here there's not going to be enough to deal with all of these void race and as those zealots come on in here i i like i said i think val harnan's respecting his opponent maybe just a little bit too much here uh all of those bailings are still allowed to hang out here velharnan is just going to target in on that hatchery workers are going to flee out and this is again more great damage here by the protoss player he's really staying on top of his her component yep no fantastic job right here by bill if he would spend his money a little bit uh a little bit better i think this game would be yeah as good as over either way he still has four bases right now he does need to be a little bit careful though because red flesh he still has a good amount of workers he ran the workers there for quite some time he still has four hatcheries up and running as well he's going plus two plus two uh plus two plus two plus two actually so he's got all of the different upgrades thinking about going for a hive right now but if this yeah if the zerg player maxes out it's gonna be quite difficult for protozoa to actually push this back so he's going into uh he's going into okay a robot bay at this point i like that a lot better he built a couple of immortals there which is yeah not not my favorite but i think just sticking around on skytells with what storm would be yeah totally fine yeah this is not not a bad situation to be an eater though you just need to be careful there's only i i think the the disruptors are i think the instructors are going to be an important part of this uh that's why the robo bay is going to be really really valuable flux veins are going to be really good to help with this uh you're going to here come the additional warping zealots are going to start chasing things down there's no charge oh wait yeah there is they were wow what's going on there i can't look at the fight on the right okay he's moving forward right now he's only at three high templar i would love to see that number increased a little bit good storm second storm very good as well third storm really nicely done these hydras will be cleaned up but what about the ones that are moving right now from the fourth base yeah if protozoa fights this it becomes very old lenny and yeah shout out to red flash for still staying in this he's uh slowly building up his army his upgrades are looking really good right so i think uh like okay so what i think val should have done this game is go for a third stargate much sooner and skip the robo tech other than for like you know observers and um what are they called like a prism or two a couple more high templar you probably can handle like five six seven or so two or three is a bit little like uh between he is maxed out what's he maxed out on oh he's got uh he's got that many void rays okay and he's gonna get one workers okay i'll give him that i'll give him that yeah plus there's like a few carriers on the production tab like they can't do the supply but like something i make that mistake all the time whenever i place starcraft i'm like okay i'm messed up let's go and i realize wait a second i've got like 30 supply worth of production still going on and it takes like seven years for those carriers to spawn is that nathanius casting that's the greatest that's like my greatest starcraft meme of all time i absolutely adore it oh there you go okay so zerk is going microbial shroud does he have a hive uh he doesn't i would love to see this together with ultralisk so i'll trust to kill the high templar and the zealots and then the hydras and uh investors can kill everything else for the zerk i think that would be super helpful but yeah you're right he is maxed out and his army looks good but it's 17 void race it's about time we switch out of void race but the only way you can you can switch out of them is by you know getting rid of them and then you can accidentally die it's it's dangerous i think he made a little bit too many well uh i mean this this comes uh at a very interesting time here fungals are going to land on the entirety of the army two of them are gonna make things really really complicated but now we're gonna get storms on top of those hydras the hydras do have a decent amount of splitting but carrier interceptors are going to make this really really challenging for the long term gigi is called velharnin built carriers and won the game is it op or am i just bad loco i'm not sure yeah you're right the zerk did everything perfectly and he still lost can i go pick up my mouse now because i once again got a little heart attack i was like that's not here i you know what thank you for letting me observe the one game you you may deserve the rest no no no no no no no i'll i'll you know i'll just put it away is it imba or do i suck excellent question right there by rushi you know what rashi what you gotta do is just play like so www thank you heart nepper inverted exclamation thank you very much for the 300 bits all right all right who's observing i'm willing to let you observe no no i i've got i've got it on you i've got to know you already man how do you feel about in introducing players every game uh i do it for the main events because they require us to but i'm also totally happy with like just hopping into a game and just like following around and just keeping a dialogue going like that's also funny yeah no i 100 i think introducing for the first game totally fine introducing like every time in every game of every series is a little bit silly right because i mean i'm assuming if you're watching game two you've probably seen game one maybe i don't know unless you tune in right now but ain't gonna breed and in the bottom right here it's fellaini that's well harnen underscore all right red flesh going for the crazy hatchery first okay believe it yeah velvet for pylon scout which is uh insanely annoying that means that if you don't build your uh first hatchery before the 16 and i think it's got to be a 15 drone at that point if it's the pylon scout then you're just doomed out to the third base loco i just tuned in and the first thing i hear is unless you tune in right now well i'm i'm sorry ortho it's red flash versus uh or red flash versus vernon there you go we were talking specifically about you welcome welcome we're so glad you're here we were waiting for you now the party can begin chat ladies and gentlemen it's it's applause on my side local can press the applause button if he wants but welcome welcome thank you it's good to have you man we were waiting for you all right so now you're here let us have a look at this game number two of a best of three series um i kind of expect val to play the exact same thing but maybe he can surprise us i still think timing attacks are absolutely fantastic that wall off is not correct no no this is this is busted and it's a one up and it's a one gate as well which is interesting i think it's fine yeah i think against like a 12th pool going double gateway is a great idea but should be okay here he's gonna finish up the he's a little low on gas oh that second gas was late too okay so he decides to ah maybe it wasn't actually i wasn't paying very close attention here i don't know i this is what i this is what i think so i've been in this position before you win you win the first game and then like the the adrenaline's pumping and you're like really excited and then you kind of make those little mistakes it's like oh wait oh no shoot cover it make it be cool but yeah robo first i i've been seeing a lot of this in some of the professional games and uh does not seem to come with a large degree of success because it's gonna be it's gonna be that warp prism first more than likely uh but this just doesn't have a whole lot of teeth in the push i feel like you delay so many important uh transitional elements to go this path and without any templar or without any twilight counsel to have blink or to have glava depths or even just to get into dt so you can get archon harassment it just it just fundamentally feels bad no 100 yeah so i think the best option to go for that i've seen some players go for recently with the robo first is when you go into the robo bay and then straight into disrupter drops that can kind of work out um but in general stargate openers like as much as i joke about stargate openers being a little bit boring they're also far and away the best mid-game follow-up or like early game follow-up brother so like the problem is right so as soon as the cyborg finishes you can go twilight council you can go robo yeah it's a quick layer uh you can go twilight account so you can go robo or you can go into a star game so with like both the robo and the twilight opener you're kind of forced to like first off deal some damage because your your third is gonna be late but it's also gonna force you into like uh a different type of mid game like i i don't really like for example with the the stargate first when you go into the void ray you can get the third nexus done or or like start it rudder at like three minutes and 50 seconds but with this i mean we're gonna get an immortal into a prism and he can definitely do some damage but the third is already like a minute late and then the question is is he gonna be able to get any work done like i i yeah i don't know stargate openers definitely still the go-to for pretty much everyone and i'm with you like every time every time i see someone going robo first it just doesn't really work well he's gonna try and make it work here he's got a lot of gateway production back behind this i i i like vel vel's a great member of the community we're not going to talk about this wall and what i think about it we're just not going to my mom said if i can't say something nice uh slightly talk about it in vague ways to get people across the idea and then leave it home so okay um yeah always listen to me i mean this is this is going to be a great scout though um the question big question is is going to be able to defend it he's got roach production on the way out um the additional the additional production is going to be good this is going to be a very good anti-rocha army i mean it's going to be contingent stalkers i just i don't know i don't know how i feel so it's two gas from produce two guests from zurich but one drone is missing in the second gas geyser for the zerk player which kind of sucks uh puts him in a weird position where he's very mineral heavy the same game he said for vel does he have an observer here i'm assuming he doesn't have an observer yeah it's somewhere i don't know he's just warming and warping right over here all right so it's a single immortal with a couple of sentries as far as the push goes um i think this push could have been a little bit better maybe like this is also forced because of that wall off that he kind of butchered at the front but still seems to be working so far it's just that the zerk reinforcements are gonna show up okay i was gonna say the immortals not really a part of the fight just yet but now things are gonna go a little bit better decent force fields are at least zoning this army out so it's not super efficient but he's kind of lost all the teeth in this push the warp prism is not uh here anymore the uh immortal is still alive it does have seven kills so continue to pressure he's gonna get him down here yeah i think he's gotta get out if he wants to there you go he decides to recall but it's a little late immortal goes down and now we're in this point that i was trying to right at the state where i was trying to explain earlier now you don't have a third and you're just kind of sitting here whereas red flash i mean he could go for a counter-attack if you wanted to but he can just do whatever he likes he decides to go for a fourth he's gonna go bailing nest he's gonna do whatever yeah dude gonna grab a fourth base i i do like this yeah it was a great hold uh by red flash some pretty decent creep spread as well i mean it's uh it's not it's not scarlet levels it's not it's not your pro level creep spread but i mean he's got his bases connected for the most part we won't look there um he's got his bases mostly connected here and he's got a lot of good things happening i love the scouting here the zerg player knows exactly what's happening he has the lack of a third base scouted from velharnan and that's got to put him into offensive mode although to be fair he doesn't really have to do a whole lot he can just lay back he can start developing the map the way he wants to he's taking down some of these rocks to make things a little bit more open and he just needs to be prepared so as long as he doesn't over drone and he doesn't get caught off guard he should be in a great spot to possibly take this to a game number three yeah i wonder if l is just going to continue onwards with like a two base olin because uh okay is that a problem moving over to the third nexus i think yeah okay so he is he is going to take a third but this is so late um it basically means that varnish right now is sitting here and crossing his fingers hoping that the zerk is never gonna attack before he maxes out um it's dangerous luckily here uh for him roach speed is nowhere to be seen if i'm not mistaken so that kind of helps but i mean red flesh from the previous game showed us already that he seems comfortable in these kind of scenarios i would love to see him scouting this third though like it's super important like you brought it up already i don't think he's seen the third uh these workers that he's making right now without knowing your opponent is the third base uh that would be yeah dangerous uh and disruptors are on the production as well i think one is already out yeah one disruptor is out and you know as well as i do loco disrupters are the game changer unit here for protoss it's very easy to claw your way back into a game that should maybe be mismatched in your favor especially since red flash is uh maxing out on roach production here he's got 16 in the production tab he's gonna have one one on the way as well baneling speed he's got it all he's gonna have ravagers he has a little bit of everything to deal with this army it just comes down to one clean engagement and here's the one unit he has to dodge yep i'm very good at microwaving into the purification nova i don't want to flex but i have lost many more roaches than i should against purification novas maybe a red flesh has that same sort of talent but i'm with you this is not looking so hot oh god oh but he's gonna get right on top of it with the bailings are gonna come out they do get on top of there but it does not happen before those units are snapped by the purification novas but i think the follow-up is just going to be too strong here for red flash loco yeah it's like half the zurich army fighting other ones we're like hey there's a fork um it doesn't really matter even half the zerk army is apparently good enough there's the battery overcharged and the most exposed okay what is it called uh shield battery that i've seen in quite some time but i don't think it really matters red flash is flooding the map i think if he would have had one additional hatchery here to spend all of his money that would have been even more dominating but game number two it's definitely gonna go in favor of berserk wow well played here uh all of the people on reddit are confused right now we all thought the protoss was op but here we are watching the zerg be op again get that just log on to your account that's what i've learned according to marine large i just have the easier tools that's all it is 35 bailings in the production tab this is oh i mean the if this was ever the words get out but not typed i mean this this is how you tell an opponent to get out of your game you spell it [Laughter] you spell gg with the bailing so your opponent can still see it and then you blow them all up manually the the ultimate bm doesn't even want to bile the the force fields he knows that those force fields are premature they're just gonna go away on time yep oh you use a little hope for the the two disruptor hits that will take out 50 supply each and then you're still behind but you can't say you can dream red flash has got to be careful though like he he cannot let hubris get the better here we go here we go here we go good one that could yeah as i said that could have been much worse so he's going spire right now i thought maybe you'd go high with it or something if you want to be super safe i don't think that's a bad idea a couple of zealots over here being a nuisance i mean i can't really blame red flash for not pushing in here because it's scary but at this point the sentries are out of energy yeah he just needs to go here so there's time to duel oh god no that's the best case scenario there but it doesn't really matter right like there's so much 20 kills are you kidding me how dare red flesh look away from his army oh i how i think the real answer is how dare red flash not just push and win like he he oh no oh no please no no no no i absolutely [Laughter] oh my god i can't believe it we're going to game three though yep that was very good very good nice rex rexer ended up winning as well yeah he tried his best was that a scripted game yes yes that game was definitely scripted good that got a little bit sketchy but you can't blame the man for trying and sticking in there for a while longer but four base zerk versus two base protels you don't need to trade particularly well at that point to uh still be okay that's very true should we do twitch get predictions too late chat unless one of the mods wants to start it up right now dita hunter can you start up nah now who's going to win valentin on red flash game's starting they're waiting for me loco make me a mod i'll do it what and give rextor a yet another thing to do start with the media mod mod for my channel oh god i can't do this in time chad i'm sorry i'm gonna mess it up we can do uh we can do a prediction here in a little bit all right rushy i'm gonna make a crazy assumption this game all right so far i've been i've been teasing valve for a little while about stargates right what about in game number two here he just opened up with a robo because he's like you know what i don't want loko to like make fun of me so i'm gonna play something i normally never play and i go robo and now in this game he's gonna go stargate again maybe i give myself too much credit here but i feel like that you know it's possible but like here's the reality it's 12 pull out of red flash and this is a prior to pylon scout probe yep so it's super super early yeah he needs to not mess up the wall if he wants to defend this so if he um oh there is a stream or there is a chat prediction going on right now a very short one chet you only had like 20 seconds to put in your points because the game is going on but there you go thank you drone rush all right so he has scouted the 12th pool at this point six zerklings are coming up queen is coming up as well red flag should send a drone out right now to try and grab the natural or force a pylon either way let's see how this goes so val is going to go second pilot or sorry second gateway in the right position and he'll probably go cybercore as soon as he can can definitely make a zealot i mean he should be he should be okay okay perfect wall zealot comes up chrono on the zealot second pylon at the front this is good chat you know who's observing now oh sorry oh no i just followed you there oh okay you're you're the big time streamer i'm i'm ready to learn no i autopilot man okay zealot is in the right position as well a couple of probes are at the front he just wants to be very careful now this is scary for a pro player but so far i think he should be okay starts up the adapt at the correct moment we'd love to see a chrono on the adapt but fair enough it's gonna go for the second zelda first two zealots available in total double adept yep a death will pop at like 235 perfect start here for phil yeah very very good uh very very good setup here i think he used a few extra probes than what he maybe needed but all in the name of safety didn't want to over commit or under commit rather velharnen though notably not on a second nexus just yet so he is expecting his opponent to be uh rather aggressive and all in about this but red flashback behind this is going into his natural it just pops out now he is in drone production so that should trigger both players into just uh continuing to advance forward so yeah nice little dance here by these two players okay so the question is right now how good is red flash's defense gonna be against this so the two adapts i would have loved to see one of the zealots go with this as well but the two adapts here they're gonna shade into the main base is he gonna commit with them no he's not okay good gets one worker don't lose the adepts okay should be good loses one i think yeah okay we do need to see the follow-up though from pro here like that's one of the problems that protos runs into here too uh he's forgot to saturate the gases and the stargate or robo or twilight okay it's all a little bit late decides to go twilight at this time yeah i i like this a lot better um we talked about that in game number two the opening into robo and not being as effective as holding back the protoss player but i think getting the twilight council down is going to allow him some different options i wouldn't even be opposed to seeing blink in this game he's shown uh glaive adapts that could prompt uh red flash into doing a nice little roach timing and bling stalker immortal that could be really really strong especially on this map yep yeah i think it should be glaives it's coming up at 100 gas assuming he isn't paying attention to want to depth okay he's got it selected now maybe maybe he's waiting for it but i think it should be gloves yeah there it is yeah yeah it's really good so we saw a variation of this build from uh rex earlier this time around though it's gonna be with a robo facility and red flash is scouting this so he's seen the twilight he's seen the robo so he knows what's coming technically speaking corona right there also reveals that it's not going to be dts more often than not what do you think of this push the glaive the depths um i i don't hate it usually i don't like it if the zerg player is able to take their natural at a normal time because that's one of the best uh weaknesses that you can expose with the glaze glaive adept back and forth but it's a really late third base so um the third base becomes less of a target and it'll all come down to velhornen's priorities here if he's going to be able to find some worker kills or not this will this come with a warp prism i don't it should no not a prism is oh there it is okay yeah yeah i was gonna say like if it's not then then we're in a little bit of trouble um this is only four gateways so four gateways is relatively low commitment uh that doesn't mean he's planning on taking a third as a follow-up the thing is red flash has been making units for the better part of like two minutes now so he's been sitting at 37 workers this whole time he's got a ton of certainties he's got a cut a ton of roaches in all honesty val doesn't even really need to fight this because he's already in a good spot but he's probably gonna try he should but if he commits and he loses all these units then the counter-attack is gonna be devastating yeah uh the army count for red flash 50 to 32 right now that it that's scarier than velharnan realizes so it's all going to come down to engagements the roach count is slowly climbing uh being able to find some worker damage is going to be critical here he is going to get a little bit of damage down in the front he does find the ramp though this is actually about the best situation here all these zerglings are going to find terrible surface area and by the time red flash realizes that that engagement's not going to be worth it he's lost most of that army so the roaches are going to have to pull back here great drone pull here by red flash to the crisis management is really good but he doesn't complete the shade what is valharten thinking here now i tried to split up the roaches successfully i guess red flash had a couple units probably on top of the shades right now though he's doing a pretty good job decides to just sacrifice the units he needs to macro at home in the meantime because that counter attack is still coming during all of this zerk is making non-stop units he's killed seven drones or eight i guess in total in this game but vel really needs to not die to the counter-attack here and uh i've got a feeling that since he's not been doing much there's no immortals out there's no nothing he's in a little bit of trouble no this is this is all the way bad seven workers is not near enough for the uh sacrifice that velharn had made and it shows in the supply 96 to 56 it's 58 army supply to 16. not even a shield battery is going to save this loco wow well what will save anything then if a shield battery can't do it double star gate that's a follow-up that is the biggest diamond leak thing i've seen in this game this entire tournament so far he's like man there's roaches double star game daredevil i love it well luckily for him red flash is giving him plenty of time it takes like 36 seconds for a void ray if i'm not mistaken if you chrono it's a little bit faster i mean as long as he lifts through this and he gets void raised up he's gonna be okay and a red flash for some reason is giving him all the time in the world yeah and he's low on the gas count as well he really needs some ravages here to be able to pin down those shield batteries on the right-hand side it'd be nice to see him uh reflex forward here there is one ravager but again please follow me please please bow me i don't want you to break through just follow me yeah right oh gosh this is uh this is kind of a scary moment here for val harnan but he's just buying time it's void reproduction on the tab he needs to try and get those void rays out that's the only thing that saves them yep so two void rays are coming up and you know what i think red flash may have been uh sitting back for a little bit too long there he had those glyph the depths defended at 38 workers and then got a little bit indecisive started making a couple more workers again as well and then the push was late now it's gonna be stargate units and we have products going for a third this should have been game over because val was quite literally at what i think 50 supply versus like 98. but he's safe yeah yeah it was it was a disgusting disparity for sure uh but uh right now velhorny needs to try and rebound just a little bit getting that third base up is going to be really important but the circling is going to scout it so red flash knows that this transitions in mind so he's gonna have time to get his lair up he does build more roaches he needs some of that gas to go into ravagers if he doesn't have uh queens to walk across the map if he doesn't have hydras he's gonna need something to be able to put pressure a little bit further back yep now the thing is though at this point uh it is definitely a good position for the zerg player still he's got himself three bases already saturated he's once more going into bailing nest i'm assuming there's going to be hydra then relatively soon as well if he doesn't have it already no he doesn't have it yet i guess he hasn't seen a void ray yet has he i don't know maybe he has seen one i'm not sure prism is going into the back val once again feels ambitious got charged done on these zealots warping in the main base zealots at the third not a bad idea underscore the third underscore all right here we go is he going to right click and shoot lasers at the third yes of course he is of course he is it's diamond league race lasers what do you think tasteless are we going to see marines crazy crazy game oh he's just like he's got to finish this off he can't afford yeah okay so there we go like he's lost just enough here he's got to be able to make that count but 151 to 112. i i like the ravager count a lot more here oh he's got to respect it okay he does he does respect the ravages i've done that to him way too many times so he's been hurt enough um bell harden is kind of in an okay spot here limiting the zerk player to third bases is good not great he this is one of about three things he's got to get happening yeah so i mean once again we've seen this now every game every game even though this should be now a significant pro advantage there was like no macro really going on at home in the meantime so we're still only at 53 workers zerk is still yeah definitely in this i mean you should transfer the workers to the new base but um yeah i mean i feel like you're asking a lot here local you're asking sorry for us as diamond players to macro like come on yeah macro and microns it's kind of crazy yeah okay here comes the zerklings honestly yeah take it the greedy move sure that's gonna i mean that's gonna kill the base yep that that base is dead protozoa's out of position and vel yeah velharnan's gonna be upset no okay good i was like if those if those zerglings suddenly peel off the base yeah you can force build these zerglings but this is just a this is just to make yourself feel better this doesn't really do a whole lot velharnan's already lost so much he's gonna have to push and win he just like got his leg cut off and he put a band-aid on it like yep that that'll fix it feels a little bit better about the situation but yeah now he's forced into essentially a two base all in chrono's at the plus one flyer upgrade for no apparent reason but he's ready to go does he have an observer here he does have an observer somewhere but he wants to fight this right here right now the thing is it's been a hydra transition 16 roaches 17 hydras it's pretty good for dessert yeah this is this is a really good spot here for red flash red flash might even try and force the issue he doesn't have to he can just push this off a creep and then just stick back at home he's got a nice little choke to work with the the range units of of red flash sitting in the back away from harm and yeah valharnen going back home this is deadly this this is deadly he cannot afford to be back at home there's nothing fear for him i mean he's gonna get a third base but the probe count is down the production is down uh templar archives is gonna be some saving grace but without disrupters i'm a bit worried what is it with three high templar i think someone told vel that three high templar is the magic number i think you want more i think i think you want at least five can someone tell val you should get five i think that's it's a good idea but yeah he's yeah in a in a weird spot so zork has a huge army though but it's like roaches and ravagers right and and like hydras it's it's against high templar it's not that great it's type it in game loco i am a referee but i don't think i should tell him that he should make more high templar right now he'll probably watch this vod val you should have like five high templar at this point not like three um vel if you're watching get rekt noob he knows i'm kidding oh that's a nice juicy storm there uh on top of a lot of the army that softens things up a bit he's not going to be able to engage off the creep he's got to be careful a second storm's going to get on top of the left side of that army as well this is rough 17 workers have gone down local fourth base we have we have a ton of uh run by here this is happening this is what he needs to get back in this game yeah it's russia observing the series by the way guys i totally didn't miss those i wouldn't have missed oh god he takes a couple of corrosive balls to the face my mouse is on the ground remember yeah wow wow wow um i mean did he recall probes or like what happened he's still fully rolled in i think he recalled the workers to the third hey sometimes you got to do what you got to do man and you got all the tools that you can use some some of them are just easier to use than others and and in this case velhorn and leaning into that good for him can't blame him the smart man oh i actually like this uh kind of catching the zerg army out of position there's not a whole lot to really sandwich this force and he does have a significant amount of energy for these storms so i think he's trying to bait red flash into this position here he's kind of holding a really good spot the army's coming in from the north side those squishy units are going to have to be careful he's going to have to land some good force fields okay that's oh oh yeah some great force fields go down here protect there's a lot of that valuable army here vel harness closing the gap here it's 94 to 75 more force fields keeping things going red flags not using those corrosive files to really deal with those uh force fields to try and open pathways up so velharnan now is going to take a supply lead yeah you kidding me all right so zerg ended up losing another base the thing is red flash has never really capitalized on the advantage very much he's never been sitting at that many workers so he's been kind of like going middle of the road couple of zerg units here and then a couple of drones and a couple of zerg units and a couple drones rather than like droning first pretty hard and then making zerk units right so he's been walking around with like a low-tech army now finally adding in some investors but now the game yeah it's for all intents and purposes pretty even i um i don't think there's a whole lot that um that zork can do at this point can he like there's there's storms available i don't think it's gonna happen yeah i i think the zerg has options here he's gonna get into investors and that's going to help having the opportunity to uh fungal this uh ball of void rays people don't respect the biles loco they don't and if you and if you get a nice fungal on that and you drop corrosive vials you can wipe an army in just a blink of an eye and valhalla is gonna have to be careful he's gonna have to recognize when those uh investors show themselves so that he can make sure that he doesn't accidentally fall victim to that because there are plenty of ravagers corrosive biles are going to be at the ready and red flash has plenty of energy on top of this as well he doesn't i guess he is a little bit lower he's got about five but five's enough yeah no i actually think uh the amount of investors is good he's gonna go vipers as well so like red flesh is gonna try and channel his inner cereal grow magically a third arm and micro all of these units at the same time it's gonna be tricky you're gonna take bottom right he did also retake the fourth he just lost a couple arc ones are coming up okay a few zealots over here really want to dive for a little bit they're like yeah okay good and here comes the rest of the zork army good feedbacks there's that funnel you were talking about though are there gonna be any corrosive piles oh my god russia is this a scripted game did you just predict the future velharnan you have fallen this to me too many times learn please do better be better than me be better than me val you can do it i believe in you no no disrespect red flash no that was like disrespect to yourself not ready to reflect but to yourself that's okay just make sure to hit the subscribe button on your way out of time but we do have a fleet because i'm gaming programming everyone twitch twitch brian twitch brian [Laughter] all right fleet beacon comes up we should see a third stargate as well i think sometime but either way fourth base has been acquired new uh arcons are being added into the mix as well all right so we have viper infester hydra ravager this unit composition is tricky but playable parasitic bomb is fantastic oh no he decides to go for abductions instead gets a couple of the uh there you go void right actually the the parasitic bomb uh fungal combo would actually be really strong against this army about the ravager you would just lock that whole army in place and voids are big enough that the parasitic bomb would just obliterate everything dude diamond leak is uh people are really good these days in diamond league it's so good it's nice but twitch prime strange ways thank you so much that was that was very kind of you appreciate that a whole lot here this army is going to engage but the archons make this very scary those hydras and the ravagers are not going to absorb those shots nearly as well as they need to and with an observable we oh parasitic bomb is going to get down on that he's not splitting off these units just yet there's not a whole lot here he can't afford to oh that was actually such a sick fight so he took a lot of storms to the face there with the zerk units but at the same time he dealt some damage with both parasitic bomb and fungal growth val's gonna be forced to return keeping at least a bunch of his voice of life he ended up losing nine of them in total so far is there anything vel can do though to defend against this zerg counter attack he doesn't have storm energy available anymore as a matter of fact he's got no high templar warping in a couple right now zealots obviously with charge though still gonna be good against these just hydra armies and i think he's got enough to push this back yeah he does i mean these these voiders are playing on borrowed time at this point you gotta give props to velhorn and he's trying to preserve as much as he can he's getting carriers out two by two hurrah hurrah it's additional roads production out of red flash and that is a bit of a concern for me he doesn't he doesn't want to have that many especially at this point uh ravagers can be an option but he's maxed out he's got plenty of uh he's got plenty of economy back behind this i think this is the opportunity for him to get into the lurker count but uh as long as he is maxed out that's not gonna be a possibility um i i don't know where does the zerg player go from here uh i think he's making all the right moves to be honest i mean i wouldn't mind seeing like sport crawlers and all that added on and like more eco in general but like this is a very technical army composition to micro um if he can like engage in the same way that he did just now with both fungal and uh parasitic bomb and then like not take storms to the face he's yeah definitely got a way of winning this game valdo he's actually like i don't like this move out at all from the protos like he's fighting before maxed out carriers are nowhere to be seen there's the parasitic bump once again oh split split split yeah deals 120 damage i think he should be okay oh my god there's the storms okay now he's getting a little bit ambitious he's going through the speeding circles though tonight templar storms actually missed here's the carriers i think that's hello hello the carriers are just chilling oh they're still carriers don't worry yeah oh good good grief i mean okay number three here this is series yeah this is full-on series this is an actual game i think i think protozoa should be sitting back just max out sit behind your walls try and uh use that static defense to your advantage and max out on skype tools units because truth be told most of the time for most people below i would say 6k mmr but probably more than that they'll have a very hard time stopping the mexico's army so i think just sitting back is not a bad idea just you know camp on carriers get some storms out go plus three missile or what's it called like plus three flyer attacks let the zerg player take the map you don't really care like red flags at this point he's got a huge bank but he's scared to attack now luckily val is gonna make it easier for him and it's gonna you know allow him to trade out units more effectively all right chad we're 22 minutes into the game you got it you got to let us know who you're cheering for low p in the chat for vel low zed in the chat for red as it said are you a fake american [Laughter] yeah so this move out here by val only helped zerk yep there's another carrier beautiful moves right here for red flesh he's going into corrupters right now too my god red flash the balls on this guy man well that's that's a much better choice here i the roach the roach sink earlier was not necessarily the right call and so corruptors are going to be the correct follow-up i think this might be the point where red flash tries to force the issue he wants to try and catch a bell harness out on the map while he's not near his shield batteries uh this army is starting to look a little less scary each push that comes across to velhornen's credit he's spending his money but that's the problem is he's run out of money meanwhile red flash is starting to make oprah look a little bit on the poor side a little bit on the broken head i was wondering where that sentence was gonna go like a very ha ha okay yeah out of all the rich people you could have picked that works jeff bezos would that be better jeffrey [Laughter] all right here we go abductions are coming up storm hello okay there we go lag lag lag there's the battery overcharge yes so notice here note that protozoa is helping out zurich every time he moves out like he shouldn't be moving on until he's maxed out like red flesh wants to fight at this point in the game right like this is the moment where zerk is like okay let's fight because i've got so much money i want to replace some of those units and instead like well no stop moving well this is the fourth time you're attacking before max out please go back home wait until you're next he's trying to play honorably loko he doesn't want to sit back and just use the power of shield battery overcharge to keep him in the game he wants to go out and assert his dominance this is the golden armada the golden fleet yeah they can't wait at home got to be attacking all right put the mouse on the floor look up with the mouse on the floor stuff head okay storm yeah so exactly like zur why are you gonna fight dessert he's trying to abduct the units one at a time because dirk players are creepy like that like come here come closer carrier let me tell you a little secret and they they yank you it's crazy here's the zealot team moving on over nice fungal there dude red flag is playing some impressive star trek i'm actually very impressed with red flash like this is some proper starcraft dude this is really good uh if you guys are really enjoying this game you got to make sure to drop that twitch prime at twitch.tv tv come on guys this is this is wonderful here oh no he's gonna lose all the probes ah i thought you were gonna bring up your own channel he's okay but what is that ultra camera doing there red flash i'm familiar with evo's at the third but what about an ultra cavern in the middle of the map hashtag just diamond things [Music] he's like i need an ultra cavern let me put it down right here middle of the screen he's like sport crawler sport crawler ultra cavern maybe that's what happened actually maybe he fed fingered the hotkey and he accidentally didn't get the uh the sport crawler planted but an ultra carrot instead nope he's got another ultra cavern at home so i think he must have the ultimate flex i have so much money i can just waste this ultra cabinet what are you gonna do about it kill it oh here come the abductions dude red flash that was perfect that was actually really good this is this is a very very tight game here i i think this game should have been over two or three different times but you know what props to our players for for uh fighting this one out we've got additional carriers coming in arkhan's getting warped in the upgrades for the zerg player are doing really really well velharnan is a bit behind he doesn't have any ground upgrades it's just plus two air plus three is about halfway done but imagine if he had plus two ground he would just show red through these uh investors and these hydras yo i know the winner of this uh of this tournament gets a coaching session with me but if red flash wins maybe he can teach me how to play late game [Laughter] i think that would be very helpful man oh here we go here come the storms uh parasitic so he still has so much supply though and he's freaking boy raised that like took lethal damage but one hp 15 minutes ago and they were still here soaking up supplies so this brothel's army isn't as strong as it probably should be oh velharnan oh vel velvelle vel i'm going to the battlenet forums if you win this game my friend i love you a lot but wow that got scary for a moment i mean this again imagine if the uh upgrades were behind this he did get plus one shield so that's that's pretty good for the arc i think i think he's i think he's winning russia i i just i'm a little concerned that this game is going to end with pro like storm storm storm storm storm and then everything and then gg ah good game well played oh oh cannons oh shield battery now he's gonna get one through yeah there's a salad though zachary's like you know what screw you die oh he's not even yeah like that's his name for sure oh sorry i know there's a fight going on on the other side of the map but i have to look at zach i can call him observing observing observing wow caster please okay base ends up going down here oh my god there's 25 zealots in this army okay not all of his army apparently a couple of them are working on the lurker then there's a whole lot of them right here on the left side of the map too that's in the floor locomotives on the floor lurker dead number two i don't okay so so this is this is theorycraft right now i mean we've got the we've got the ultras this this might be your fault loco you've you've done a lot of these videos where the altar is going to be a good composition mixed in here but i it's the archons that scare me we don't have any upgrades plus one on the ground is still in research oh god but it's it's going to be a good positioning here everything's going to come up to the front here good yoink on the carries the carries are out of the fight he's just one carrier left here velharnan loses a lot of his supply yeah it's additional ultra is on the way as well but this sim city might work out well for val harnan yeah i'm with you he needs to respect the ultras i think archons alone without upgrades aren't going to cut it you really are looking for immortals um when zork is going this ultra heavy like i know void rays and carriers and stuff are going to be pretty good he even sent some zealots right now two queen over here trying to keep it alive not bad um i don't think you want to go both lurkers and ultras i think that's a little bit extreme one of the two is fine but um i do think you have to respect the ultras here and add on some uh some actual ground units but yeah you're right there's not a whole lot of upgrades for those ground units and those other run buys have been like killer though what's this probe doing here just be cool he's trying to assimilate that's all right blend in day 43 the drones have accepted me as one of their own i do not work because i would take to the wrong base [Laughter] it's just staring out into the distance yeah that hydra could have killed it too man but that hydra had a heart [Music] someday brenda will accept me as one of her brood but until then i sit and wait contemplating life it's the philosopher probe what is the meaning of i'm familiar with the philosopher's stone but this is valhaar nina the philosopher's probe is hanging out it's a 30 minute game yeah dream hack eat your heart out loco tv tournament this is where it's at all right here come the ultras though there's hydras underneath this like the altars are so awkward though if the storms still land on the hydras here that would not be great corrupters here floating forward most of the ultra still get picked off right now by the amount of produce ground units the storms haven't even really been part of this army yet there you go oh yeah i mean this is this is kind of being a terrible situation here for red flash he he kind of went into the meat grinder that was the archons a lot of the ultras are going to be able to get away but so many of them ended up getting just demolished as a result of it and it's all come down to positionings here it's going to be a lot of static defense for red flash to try and keep himself in this game and you've got to respect that both of these players are absolutely playing their hearts out we have got to cheer so loudly for these guys when they come back into the chat you've got to give them the props they deserve that's a great game three yeah yeah this is a really good game for sure he really needs to redistribute the workers though because he's got like plenty of okay he's finally sending drones to the new base he's not really getting a lot of income even though he's got a lot of workers finally he's uh he's sending them to some of those fresh mineral patches same for vel who's now also saturated the base on the left this is a banger of a game oh my gosh this is this is outstanding here okay this army is gonna come to the right-hand side i don't think attacking into the static defense is a really good choice here but he is going to wrap it up with a engagement on the left-hand side to put some pressure onto that base staying back is going to be really important here he doesn't want to just take free damage to the spine crawlers even though he can kill them that probe two probes now there's two of they're just they are living their best life you cannot even begin to understand ultimate bm here from valharten man no don't you dare kill perry that's perry right over there he's just staring off into the distance that's okay the true philosopher i've watched my i've witnessed my brother commit atrocities this guy's been there for a good five minutes i don't know how he got here or why he's here but i don't care anymore i want him to lift to the end of the game oh this is a scary pro army though rushie yeah it's a lot of storms warm up the ramp and they're gonna all choke up here those hiders are not going to take too much just yet the corrupters are still very scary though especially alongside the altars but the altars are starting to get picked away here as long as they get pulled back another giant storm goes down on top of the hydras it's jj the protoss is op get to the battlenet forum well played right here by both of these guys impressive stuff from red flash despite the fact that he ended up losing it that was really good congratulations varney for moving on in this tournament amazing we may have peaked jet maybe all downhill from here for the rest of the day amazing ggs yeah they'll be back in the chat here in a minute impressive game by the both of them well done that's for you i know how much you like the tuba sound boom boom alrighty guys so this is wait hold up is this the quarterfinals or yeah this is the quarterfinals so the winner of this particular one will go up against inter in the semi-finals so the best of three series still i'm pretty sure everyone remaining at this point is you know diamond one probably i can't imagine anyway so spotting here in top right corner of dragonatha game number one of this best of three playing with the blue suvs we have a pro tools otp what does that stand for um on the protoss i don't know i mean i would have wha oh one trick pony is that it oh no really ouch ouch original taran player maybe that's it one true pairing hmm all right anyways the opponent with the red tear in pieces also known as the nephew of one of the tournament administrators well i don't know man and he makes it to the quarterfinals kind of sus is this event rigged or not we have a weird rat oh god he felt guilty oh oh god what's going on right now yeah he's he's trying to balance himself out this is like the handicap option where he takes his units and stops being as efficient for a moment just to give his opponent uh equal footing that makes sense yeah that's right um also uh blue hair credit just sent me a link to a fridge that costs 8 400 euros and it literally looks like a jungle like it has like bites and vines on the outside of it i'm like bro i just need something that keeps things cold i believe it was rush or sorry not russia i think it was motley's that like bought a new fridge and it had like a camera and everything inside as well it was like no no it's very helpful because then you can go to the store and you're like wait do i still have this and then you can look at your smartphone app to see if you still had milk in the fridge am i just living in the 20th century or i feel like i'm not missing out on anything there i just i just uh posted the fridge so yeah chad if you want me to have that fridge you know where to find me but that's a little excessive oh god that does look a little excessive yeah i don't think that's needed that looks cool though loco is living in the 20th century i don't even have room for one of those big fridges guys i have like like it's like built into the kitchen type thing anyhow darren first turned rushie talk to us why is it your favorite matchup in the whole wide world because as a caster it's um job security because there will be so much of it to cast as they sit and meticulously place one tank at a time to try and get the slight edge and then all of a sudden wait one player has an extra raven ah i guess they win it's amazing we do have a little bit of build order of variety i'm not even gonna respond to that we into the factory and the starboard whereas weird rhett went for the factory in the starboard first oh my gosh fast asks his coatcaster's opinion ignores it entirely this is what i have to work with guys this is what i'm working with no i thought i thought it was produced with the easier tools russia that's fair that's fair that's fair um no i do like this push though uh weird rat's coming out with a lot of aggression he did only now just start his second base so um that is going to provide for a little bit of interesting timing here protoss otp has a lot of resources at his disposal and he's also like just barely missed this so he's scouting everywhere with the reapers and the hellions and everything but he just barely missed the freaking medevac just floated past everything uh good luck on there though oh god okay he he picked up the tank for it picked up the tank as it died i don't know oh no i feel bad that's that's that's not how you do it that that ain't it chief that ain't it oh god that only happens when your game's getting casted as well right yeah and we bet they're at it oh he must feel so bad right now and hey you guys remember that this guy is related to one of the apps yeah probably fluffy waffles family huh i'm not surprised this is the one moment they finally talked mom and dad into seeing what this starcraft thing is all about and wait you're just bad at it oh oh son why don't you do something like math that was rough that was painful he was ready like in his mind he was like okay i'm maru i'm gonna pick up that thing drop it off again float the medevac away out of range of the meta and then you know you just put the tank into the inside are you winning son are you winning son [Laughter] anyways it's still tearing for stern so even if you lose 10 supply worth of stuff for free siege tanks are real good you can kind of just sit here and prevent your opponent from pushing in comfortably so it's not like weird red is gonna straight up lose this but uh it's difficult uh obviously for him to do anything here for the foreseeable future you still making tanks he's still making ravens the man can definitely still come back here it was only 10 supply after all i mean uh he killed a little bit yeah he killed a little bit as well on the other side of the map i think this is uh i mean this is an okay spot for protoss otp he's gonna get the third base delayed here for a brief moment maybe no no what a nice guy wow that was very kind of him oh god um okay so that's the siege and i got no chill it's like locked and fired there you know it's with the water lilies now but uh you know i think this is this is fine for a protoss otp he's gonna get his third base he's gonna crank that forward not even going to lose any time on that weird rat is unfortunately not finding any advantages on the opposite side of the map and when you are equalized on army count you should be close on worker count 12 workers down not going to cut it though yeah just looking at the water for a little bit what if this is the surface of 2000 atmospheres like what if you end up on jagannatha if you go all the way to the surface there you go this is all i had sure i'm 14 and this is deep yeah yeah it's true i saw water that's the only thing i can think of what if all the maps are actually disconnected yeah wow what if the space maps are above jagannatha that's a great point oh my gosh are we gonna all right joey mr nice underscore underscore username you gotta come up with the how can we connect all of the maps in the map pool there there's got to be some continuity here yeah dark souls game yeah no everything we see can be connected yeah exactly we need like an elevator and like you know there's definitely options here loco seems very interested in the games and nothing else i mean russia did bring up jokingly the taren first turn can be a little bit passive we could dive deep into the build orders but it's okay we'll get across the map couple of marines over here at the front for weird rat they're going to be forced to scout already it's triple cc though for protozoa tp so he doesn't really need to attack right if it's two versus three base he could just sit back and just wait i think actually attacking into his opponent's natural might be a bit of a mistake weird rat though feels bad about the situation wants to meet his opponent out in front the side's better of it goes back yeah that was a that was a nice little shot there uh both players operating without medevacs at this current moment which seems okay no okay um those look like ravens but the ravens are off to the right hand side so uh weird rat though does not have any medevacs in this army which is worth noting no no i don't think you want to go here my man i think he wants to capitalize on the uh oh well on the raven situation does grab a couple of the tanks so far one tank's still firing actually the pathing right here getting blocked and you know what we're at making the best of the scenario but like he's got stuff over here that's not doing much problems otp at the same time already crapped or grabbed himself to fourth base he really wants that tank yeah he really wants the tank he gets it crapped did i say crabbed [Music] all right third cc is done additional barracks 2 2 comes up as well he is ahead of upgrades though weird rat uh yeah he yeah he is just gets his 2-2 started right now combat shield though is a bit behind um but i mean both players don't have it so it's not really that big of a concern here i think protoss otp is going to be able to lock this down tanks should be able to fire in place we'll make the most of this situation oh you know yeah surprisingly enough uh actually not so weird rattle would be able to keep his third base kind of thought that was gonna go better for the blue uh for the blue taran player i keep wanting to say protoss player because his name is yeah yeah but um yeah he is continuing to get the production cycle taken care of every minute that goes by though is a is a nasty one here for uh protoss otp because that in a mere match up those uh upgrades are really really important so two two about halfway done just now starting plus one uh vehicle weapons for tanks uh i don't want to see how weird rat's going to be able to wrestle this one back if he's given the time to do so but it seems to be the case so far yeah so both players have lost all their ravens and those upgrades from weird red are gonna be huge i mean obviously he still isn't in a great economical position here but considering where the game was at a few minutes ago i think that this is the best he could really hope for so he's gonna go into the fourth cc i think sitting back is not a bad call either going for the sensor tower just to make sure he sees everything on a mini map ready to roll out i'm sorry okay uh so now so now we start seeing the fourth base transition for for protoss op he's at the point where he's almost maxed out he really should be putting on the pressure his opponent's got 60 less supply and and okay it seems like that is going into being the case so we will start seeing some split off here 16 marines going to go into those medevacs those will go harass what is an inexistent fourth base location but it is now scouted the duel i mean that was alexander hamilton versus uh aaron burr and of course we saw aaron burr winning that one it's a nice job but uh not seeing the fourth base it should be a big telling moment here for protostart2p you should be acting go sports um that is literally american history that i quoted i have no idea what it did what you just said it's a musical oh spoilers oh spoilers chad all of that i have no idea my american history is not that good i was pretty happy with my yards versus pound situation earlier today okay let me have my moment either way here's the big army from the blue taran player moving across the map but the two medevacs all right he's gonna bypass the fourth go straight into the natural there is a siege tank plus another tank in the main base although he unsieged to the right as this happened yeah you know what since it's not kind of yeah it's not in sync right here with the the majority of the the blue taran army i think this is okay i mean he loses the cc if you lose him to cc you don't gonna suck tries to target it down gets the siege tank at least but now this is cleaned up you can focus on the blue army here the big one oh i mean he's got to step forward uh as a result of this he can't just clump up yeah he's got to get it on top of this but weird rat's going to have a really good position he should be able to clean this up i think there's a lot of medevacs here that are going to provide support i cannot believe that weird rat is doing all of this without a single medevac that just feels wrong yeah he doesn't have any effects at all at this point in the game upgrades have also been evened up here these medevacs are helping out quite a lot though i mean he could add on liberators which is exactly what he does right now liberators to force the opponent on siege and leave it's not a bad idea okay three three is coming up here for bit rat he has secured the fourth base now morphing get into a planetary oh no no you do not need to be here we wait until the liberators are done where's that i mean that was good economic damage he pulled that base away for a really really long time and now there's no workers there 84-59 he's still gonna have to re-rally workers that were at different locations the fourth base is coming down but these tanks are going to be really difficult to break liberators should help yeah yeah so that's why uh you do like having vikings in this scenario once you have that air elite you can go into liberators quite nicely that's two tanks there you go not bad at all so pro tools does our produce otp rodder does want to continue fighting now red also has the luxury of a planetary fortress although he does need to get his army in position and quickly liberators coming up he needs to siege those in the right place at the right time okay no tanks here for weird red i think this might be a little bit too much liberators get sniped planetary is in range right now if the siege tango siege tanks are right to the planetary i think this might be the uh the moment he was looking for oldest time yeah yeah it's starting to look like the beginning of the end here uh this base is gonna go down uh despite well okay maybe not despite best effort but it's gonna be enough of damage here uh game number one goes to the blue darren player protoss otp taking game uh at the beginning of the series yep yeah i can all be traced back to that little one one one opener that he saw weird going for he did a great job by the way spending his money and his macro actually seemed really impressive it's just that uh yeah that one little medevac drop at the beginning was not great russia eating rotten food no i don't i don't get to eat food anymore that's that doesn't happen unless i order doordash doordash isn't amazing okay no wait no no it's not sponsored right he's just not sponsored although someone asked me that the only times i've ever heard anyone talk about it is because it's sponsored oh wow i'm not i'm not cool enough to be sponsored so i sorry i talk about things that just exist in my life forged the corn from the fields okay i know that you i know that you think it's funny and there's a lol everybody i think it's pretty funny it'll be great but uh you have to remember that the corn majority of the corn in the field is what we call uh feed corn it's not actually meant for human consumption but hypothetically right hypothetically speaking you needed to go out and you really do need corn as a last means of survival how far would you have to walk to go get corn like i know it's illegal and everything but hypothetically uh about a couple hundred feet i know nothing about iowa but i like that this is a thing that actually you know yeah it's not far like i would be in i could be in the middle of a cornfield in two minutes of of a walk nice hmm alrighty protozoa's otp is showing some build order variety so far mostly today we've seen uh yeah players doing the same build several times look at that the man's feeling ambitious planting down a couple barracks on the other side of the map to gas at home as well it is the best of three series if we're at once again uh no second gas yet i think he's thinking about going for an expo this could actually kind of bite him in the butt yeah that might be gg uh i don't you should he should not start up the cc don't autopilot you're scouting don't do it now now oh he's not he's spent he's fan oh he's doing this version of it oh god oh god he's actually lifting up the barracks it's putting them in the main base and building tech labs this is the version of the build where you literally building more or immortals marauders inside of your opponent's main oh god why aren't they tingling this is not a build rashi i've seen like three people played as ever it worked out in that series too for what it's worth i was going to say if it if it works and it's stupid it's not stupid oh okay he does see the first marauder he didn't see oh no looking at it it must be fluffy waffles family no no no no wait no no no no no no no no sorry he doesn't know does he know exclamation point he doesn't know screw you oh oh oh he noticed he noticed oh he knows he knows so it's three marauders three marauders are actually surprisingly strong yeah i need to target fire down the marines go to this little nuke oh this is not the little nuke oh yes oh god this is a lot of damage russia there's a lot of oh no no no no no hello hello help no they gotta keep firing they're gone there's no micro only fire only fire yeah or fans no micro only fire only so the problem is if he wants to keep these two marauders out right now he does need to lift him like i guess he can lift it for a little bit get him out i don't know can he get the bottom one out or does he lift it no i think he's got to lift it he's got it he's going to re-rally oh okay oh okay okay that's fine drop it down back to production back to work oh he's got to change the rally here but eleven worker kills i mean kills is that enough yeah it's left yeah definitely oh well unless he loses for free do it wouldn't mind i think he just walked to the no what okay i don't know why oh he got a worker on the way out i don't know why i don't think he needed to do that i think he just walked behind the mineral line i think a widow mind for a marauder is a decent enough trait at this point you just try and maximize damage right oh god this could be really bad for the taran and blue okay liberator is out oh okay liberty is actually a good choice here yeah yeah oh it's so awkward all right i think you just target workers man you just target workers oh god that's so much damage okay i think he's giving up on it he's got a lot of money by the way if he would have made two command centers or at least one at home there we go there's finally one coming up i i think it was cure that i saw do this a little while ago i'm not entirely sure but i'm pretty sure yeah you can even be more annoying so if your problem ever had an expo you could just land it over there well it doesn't but hey fun fact chat did you did you know that right now if you're the blue taran player you can put your star port over here and it becomes a blue tech clip that actually would be cool i want to see that happen in chat and be like hey do the thing no you can still content stealing uh add-ons is very uncommon but i think you have to because now your opponent gets revision as well right yo baldy thanks for the 100 bits he says this seems like a fun time and also has loka been losing his mind at all no i've been keeping him pretty grounded yeah losing his mind underscore all right so weird red is still in this though oh yeah yeah yo wait red can you steal them just for the youtube thumbnail do it do it man i need a thumbnail come on put the stopper over there i need a thumbnail oh he's gonna just kill him what are you doing it's real real estate man it's free real estate you don't look a gifted horse in the mouth what are you doing oh god fluffy waffle if you don't disown this man from your family i wow first rigging the tournament and nowadays you were the chosen one we trusted no don't you dare that's a duck there's a perfectly fine technique right over there yeah you do have to notice it's like no that one that one's dirty it's red i don't like red man oh my gosh it would have turned blue fluffy water is very quiet in the chat right now he's like he's not getting food tonight he's not getting food tonight oh no oh no join the club it's either fridge or death rush yeah it's done there's no other options i'm sorry yeah that that produce uh that protozoa it sounded dirty in his mind he didn't even want it two-minute walk i heard yep new subscriber detected oh my gosh it's been four whole months thank you caustic for the sup all right so soloko at the seven minute 40 second mark we've got one player with 73 supply and the other player with 39 supply it who do you think is going to uh tap out first and why is it the blue player uh yeah he's very far behind he's very far behind he had some really stellar macro last game though like i actually think he out macro is a problem pretty hard last game it's just that he didn't have a lot of money to play with in the first place yeah protoss is coming across the map here uh this i mean unless unless protoss otp just like walks this into tank fire and doesn't micro i mean it's still two tanks over here he can't drop obviously right dropping here is huge he's going raven as well but um oh i mean he is checking he's checking for the tanks that's smart play so far yeah i think he should just lift everything up and just go into the back side of the base yeah this is exactly what he should do now he's only got one thing to worry about and it's going to stay on the low ground oh don't just give away the free marines on the tank fire okay this is doable but it's very tricky oh okay so we got some free targeting on the tank that actually ends up working really well cyclone almost ends up going down he needs that tank from the natural really badly though he's obviously a little bit concerned at this point trying to bait those units oh from the main base down the ramp unfortunately for weird rat i think it's too yeah it's at the point now that uh too much damage has been dealt the ramp is always going to be under pressure losing both of the ravens is critical there goes the tank that could have saved him one tank to rule them all and one singular g fluffy waffle you need to have a stern talking with this young man dude that was rough though that was a painful series right there after weird rat that medivac that ended up going down with the siege tank inside of it in the early game and then in game number two marauders in the main base just in the one location he couldn't see that was rough either way well played right there of course by pro tools otp who will move on to the semi-finals pretty sick we're gonna be seeing him against inter we'll have a quick look right here against uh again at the bracket yeah we have yorono actually already waiting as well in the semis very nice uh i will be casting both of the semis as well by the way guys so uh we're gonna see all these players um i think we probably have veil versus bugs i don't know if it's ongoing right now and if you have a little bit of uh a break or like i don't know i have the steel video loco i really believe that was enough damage i believe enough damage oh my god he's gonna steal it oh he's like i need to build a tech lab i'm gonna steal your tech lab this doesn't happen at all anymore but this is actually a thing if you guys have got that's sick right it doesn't really come up very often at all but it happens from time to time probably not something weird red was familiar with alrighty guys now you're stuck with just me with my face my camera and uh my voice like this is all you're gonna get oh and this is the moment that model is his joints i see how it is coincidence russia leaves and bam motley says isn't twitched yet rumor has it he was just waiting yeah how convenient rashi or uh rushy motley cis everything's rick today guys ha ha alrighty um so real quick again in case you just now tuned in i'm currently casting the very first viewer tournament and i'm having an absolute blast with it it's been a lot of fun uh we started with quite a few players earlier today and we have come up to just the last couple of players right now i'm gonna be casting pro tools otp versus inter which is gonna be our first semi-finals which is pretty sick we have to wait until this uh series is done to cast the other one and then obviously after that i'll be casting the grand finals as well but uh it's been uh it's been a blast look at this is fun yeah i've been having an absolute blast as well hope you guys are enjoying it too man have you ever seen mot and rushi in the same room i have not no yeah it's been a lot of fun right i'm glad you guys are enjoying it too alrighty guys here we go game number one of the first semi-finals of the first viewer tournament i actually have expected half of the people to sign up to be zerg just because i mostly play zerk um so the first place prize is a coaching session with me the problem is that i'm pretty sure both of these players are better at their respective race than myself but maybe i can help them out somewhere i don't know spotting a bottle left in corner with the blue terran suvs we have none other than pro tools otp which is not confusing at all because his opponent is a protos player we should have probably called this guy taran otp or something along those lines either way i guess it means pro tools one trick pony right which is a a bit mean either way spotting here in the bottom right hand corner playing with the red protos probes we have inter cena or enter one oh god i like that the man that probably has one trick pony in his nickname is gonna go for triple barracks with only one on top of the ramp i actually really like the variant where you go for the one on top of the ramp just because at this point inter is gonna scout this and be like yep oh is a okay not a problem he's gonna harass that worker over here now he should go and check out the mineral line if he sees the second gas okay good nice scout there i mean it doesn't tell him everything he didn't actually see the lack of workers i guess there should be ah i don't know if you picked up on this he already planted down the nexus cybernetics core here in the back but not actually blocking this position the cybercore is a little bit out of spot meaning that the units are gonna be able to just run by it he's planning on going back into the base to see the cc started but he's seen the double gas so you should expect a factory if he goes and checks right now maybe he can get something out of this if he sees the lack of factory oh oh oh my god he recalls the probe so that's kind of cute ricol's the worker so at least that one's back home but i'm a little bit concerned so he's gonna be pumping out a couple reapers he really does need to get him out though i don't know why we're waiting hello can we go please no we're gonna save them up are we dead ambitious all right twilight council now to complete this wall fair enough all right he does not know what's going on until right now a little bit of miscontrol adepto ends up going down and here's the worker so how many workers does he need to get at least a couple probably like six but at this point uh there's a stalker coming up but you know these minerals are in a little bit of trouble so there's five reapers where are they oh okay they're coming right now yeah you actually need to be careful this stalker is in a lot of trouble no piloting range here either because he decided to go for the low ground pylon so he can't start up a shield battery inside of the main base and the man that probably has one trick pony in his nickname goes for a cheeky little reaper cheese huh he's actually been showing a pretty sick variety of strategies so far in the games that we've watched micros back the weekend reaper very nice stalker over here in a little bit of trouble as well k8 charge does get thrown and he actually just bops this uh this stalker around it's a round though on one of the reapers but gg is cold and we have a quick number one that was a painful game a very painful game uh what league and mmr are these so this is the semi-finals so they're both diamond one um which naturally happens as these kind of as these kind of tournaments progress since uh obviously diamond one is the maximum rank that can participate and uh actually prado's otp apparently was masters at some point in this tournament but he is uh or sorry it is some point in this uh the starcraft 2 season but apparently he's dropped down um to uh yeah diamond one so it still counts it's below 4.4k kind of sus do you think people get that sweaty about participating maybe like the thing is guys when a um a tournament is for fun obviously you can always have people that are trying to cheat their way to success right and yeah it is what it is that happens whenever you put like any kind of limitation on an event people are gonna always try and push the boundaries um so far he's playing some excellent starcraft but not anything that i think is like okay this guy is way better than you know his mmr would indicate he's just playing a variety of build orders and trying to catch his opponent off guard it's not like he's clearly like much higher league than he's at though because he's been flooding a bunch of money not playing the game perfectly either way game number two we are now on light shade not bad whatsoever spending money in this game is good man yeah making workers and spending money not a bad idea obviously yeah people could definitely join on a smurf account as well that is much lower mmr yep all of these things are possible guys they could also be listening to the game while i'm casting it which would also be a huge jerk move but there's like lots of things you can go ahead and do to make it a little bit easier for yourself um there's a bit of a gentleman's agreement for people to not be douchebags right or or whatever you want to call it like just a a person's agreement right which is one of the reasons why uh we decided not to put money on the line because like putting money on the line and then all of a sudden things get a little bit awkward and we'd have to put in some precautions for that sort of thing and obviously we did make some of those like all the players were manually checked for their mmr but if you really wanted to i'm sure you could cheat your way to success it is what it is [Music] loco even if there was no smurfing the matchups were just unfair in the first round it made it less fun i assume you lost in the first round look the first round is the first round right if you uh yeah end up facing someone who's higher up on the ladder it is what it is [Laughter] at some point in a tournament players are gonna have to face off you can't do it perfectly unless there's like a thousand participants we try and make the best of it right all right anyways let us have a look at exactly what's happening here standard builds so far it looks like for both of these shield battery at the front because he doesn't want to be caught off guard with something stupid again goes for the twilight console as well blink openers of course very popular in protoss vs taran for good reason uh how many sign ups were there i think there were 68 i remember this because i was joking that we needed one more person to check in because i'm a 12 year old yeah if i promoted it on youtube we probably could have had quite a few signups but then this tournament would also take a very long time so i was thinking this would take most of the stream and considering there's still a second semi-finals and then the grand finals yeah you know what scheduling doesn't seem to be too bad so that's indeed the blink upgrade by the way mary vac is a follow-up right now as well okay i like it going for a little bit of a push we should have seeded the tournament by physical height oh yeah we went to slash tinder not that long ago on stream if we uh sorted on height i'm pretty sure from what i understood from that subreddit we just need to kick everyone below six foot straight out apparently that's that's what you do according to slashler's dinner i had no idea that people had such an obsession with height what is this why anyways luckily i only have two feet oh is he accidentally going to find this oh no if he was paying very close attention maybe okay here comes the boost no response at all from the produce who's busy over here uh okay eight workers here in total so like for those of you that are concerned about it like he was up to 600 minerals there during this or close to it anyway um so he's definitely not gonna be you know crazy high up on the ladder there's no way that uh someone higher up on the ladder would be not macroing while dropping the widow mine yeah the only option you can have to have like really like fair first rounds of these kind of events is to have ooh hello group stages or double elimination brackets but i mean this tournament was meant for fun right like so like yeah we can go double elimination we can do group stages we can do the both of them but then the tournament would last a very long time and uh the end result would probably not be that much different oh get to raven that's good okay so macro game this time around though robo bay here as a follow-up as well so we've actually seen protozoa tp now playing a variety of builds and multiple matchups which is really cool most of the players in this event seem to be focusing on one build he even had a supply block there chet luckily inter is helping him out there cleaning up a little bit of that supply very considerate of the produce all right so that's the robotics bay coming up so can he can uh extend this thermal lens which is always nice i'm trying to do that for you oh god don't lose prism okay he goes into the main base right now with the prism high ground i guess the observer was here too it's a little bit awkward right now protozoa doesn't really want to stim because he doesn't have any many vects out yet okay well he does decide to stim but at this point blink should come off cooldown once again please get out okay hello enter i'm not entirely sure why i wanted to stick around for that long but there's the colossus follow up or sorry did i say protels didn't want to stim oh my god embarrassing i misspoke chat yikes streamer made a mistake oof embarrassing imagine stalkers with with stimpec though oh i misspoke because his name is pro tools otp i did say it oh god see it gets even more confusing talking to yourself in a room is already a little bit strange but now these players are making it harder as well oh so he's checking right here for the third he's checking for the third over there too and he's right there should be a third nexus at this point in the game that little stalker all in didn't really seem like an all in right starts up the cc on the low ground once again because massive penis uh uh pp sorry that's what we call this huge dick in order to go for the low ground hello oh god if you can blink underneath that would be that would be rough i don't know why people always do this man like you so at this point right here's what taran has seen he has seen okay protoz hasn't made a third base i'm gonna go ahead and plant down my third base right over here why like i know it's i know this like little float over there takes three seconds so like you know you literally can't spare it but if you suspect your opponent going for an all-in yeah huge dick is the only theory i've come up with sheer force of will asserting his dominance well let's see if his dominance is going to be enough protozoa coming up with a nice little concave trying to negate some of that splash damage of those colossi still though he is forced on the low ground right here one of the colossi a little bit exposed second colossus also being target fired down but good micro here as well by inter trying to keep that thing firing and this is what i mean he was forced on the low ground because of the third cc and all of a sudden he's forced to lift it now is this the end of the game no not necessarily two hit points on the colossus is all it needs as long as it's above zero it's fine okay a couple of the zealots over there go down as well suvs pulled away as well from the mineral line marauders are trying to get some shots in on that colossus but the colossus is having a grand old time and he may have a massive pp but he did lose the game produce units need to have at least one hp to be op there you go i had the medevacs not been caught he may have won that fight yeah he lost 20 supply worth of stuff there as well in the middle of the map two medevacs that was rough just play like maru yeah okay that's good advice chet alrighty so that brings us to 2 000 atmospheres so protozoa tp has now shown us four builds in four games i think yeah what do you think it has a sword this time around hmm maru is okay he's a bit of an up-and-comer yeah yeah mario is alright he should consider going pro one day [Music] literally not a one-trick pony yep could have been me loco but i decided to sleep in fair enough i feel like puyo was a little bit closer because he literally did lose to one of these two players but um yeah it could have been you man if you just decided not to sleep in uh what mmr are these guys um i believe protozoa tp was 4.3 and i think inter was 4.0 look at the other day i watched maru lose a tvp and then he switched to protozoa to destroy a zerk with void race so i actually didn't catch a screenshot of this but several people messaged me that apparently no apparently maru just a few days ago like i think sometime last week was sitting at the number one grandmaster league position on korea with pro tools now i didn't see this like i didn't see a screenshot of it but i know his mmr with produce is really high maru plays protos when he's angry because he thinks it's too easy oof is that an actual like thing he said or are you just saying things maybe marine lord was right all this time he said it was too easy like yeah yeah sounds like a healthy coping mechanism well there's a couple of pro gamers that are really good at their off races and uh yeah it's not too surprising we talked about this many times before but i know cerro is very good at taran clem is very good at produce yeah klim's produce mmr is higher than some of the pro gamers that i regularly cover which is uh pretty good scarlett obviously has done a bunch of stuff with produce yeah there's plenty of players that are good with other races don't do it jimmy oh god jimmy's in three pieces cut his life into peace okay sorry okay luckily he's gonna get revenge yep he will okay so once again that blink opener a robo facility not too surprising couple additional gateways as well so triple gateway with a little bit of stalker shenanigans yeah i know scarlet actually switches to produce every once in a while in tournaments if it's a zvz that's coming up right so i believe if i'm not mistaken like she doesn't really like playing zvz very much and i know some tournaments allow you to switch races in between the matches if you want to so i believe she switches from uh from zerk to protoz whenever there's a couple of zerk versus zerks in a row something along those lines yeah zvz is like kind of tricky because you can accidentally lose it's very easy to accidentally mess up anyways yep he's once again bringing the widowmines to the other side of the map unsurprisingly because it did fantastically well last game let's see if mr inter is gonna pay a little bit more attention again stalker's in the wrong spot okay he's ready to go for a move out again with blink finishing up prism is also going across all right protozoatp loses the marine over there but he does get his opponent right as he's moving out oh don't do it again no no stop it oh god mommy oh okay at the same time there's a couple stalkers on the other side of the map protozop did cut quite a few workers as well though i don't know exactly where his eco is at either way these wouldn't mind still uh need to be cleaned up oh you already did okay good did the uh where'd the medevac go oh it's over here okay it's a little bit a little bit further down can barely see that on the mini map two widowmines in them so he's ready to come back in for more for uh round two in a little bit okay good control here microwaving back the unit couple of suvs pool please to repair the bunker up nah doesn't care little minds ready to go in back once again four more manually targets all right there's a happy taran player right over here assuming he doesn't just die right now though because he still did not pull workers right there to repair the bunker up this now turns this into a bit of an all-in okay stalkers are still scary though siege tanks are not in the best of positions either marines are oh god yeah those marines were way too far forward you can deal with your opponent's eco and that's fine but you also need to go and deal with their freaking armies command center taking a lot of damage repair being used right now though by as many of the suvs that were pulled as possible decides to blink inside of the siege tank range luckily right there for the protos player one of these siege tanks wasn't sieged all right at this point there's three tanks a couple marauders as well stimpeck is done right now so i don't really expect he's gonna be able to go in back for more bold decision making right when you watch guys like parting do it it's like you know what this is easy hold my beer i got this and then you give it a try yourself and you lose all the stalkers it's oh god he just he just got up there some sexy bling micro over there into the main base two siege tanks not sieged well in the main base anyway the third one was also one siege for what it's worth miss blink this time around though gets at least a couple of them out except for this dude look at him straight to the surface of 2000 atmos it's a long way to go my man all right so both players have actually lost quite a bit wait a minute drop did get cleaned up okay now he's just getting ambitious no siege tank out at this point though no shields on a lot of these units either he needs to micro really freaking well if he wants to get anything done concussive shell would not be a luxury at this stage in the game either you know what maybe brothels is actually just pushing through this right now the metaphase are quickly running out of energy siege tank does come out he decides to siege that one up in a natural expansion a couple of reinforcements are here tries to pick up the units blinks on top of the siege tank once again grabs that one too suvs are pulled away from the mineral line oh my god this is some legit good play-doh i mean obviously there's some room for uh for improvement right for example a new bunker would not have hurt i'm not sure if inter has enough to finish this game though yeah he's just poking and prodding picking off whatever he can blink is obviously oh god okay a little bit late there loses two stalkers for free yeah i think concussive show would be a great research here too it's a quick one inter also has 1400 gas by the way which also does not really put him in that great of a spot like he's trying his best but he doesn't have a whole lot of probes although actually he's now you know what i say that he's not got more workers than his opponent ever since he's been adding on a couple more here and there main base is running out okay blinks into the main once again darren obviously also running low okay that prism that's been an absolute nuisance here for quite some time gets killed as well okay he needs to get some vision though oh there's a second observer obviously over there i don't know if this is the way you want to run enter enter where are you going to go where you going enter hello okay decides to recall but that's going to cost him quite a bit more and finally protos otp gets a little bit of room to breathe so how do you spend the gas at this point if you are inter well you could make archons for example right not a bad idea or you could try and make a third base and actually send some of the probes over in that direction i think it was intending on this game ending with the two based shenanigans maybe he got a little bit carried away he's ahead of workers but he doesn't have that big of an army anymore sorry like that many mineral patches anymore okay i like the sentry warping he sees that this army is moving out right now with the two observers that are sieged up over here protozoa tp doesn't know if his opponent is stuck on two bases probably makes the assumption that there is a third nexus already done third cc starts up in range of the observer once again okay so he's careful like he's also waiting for some of these many effects to heal his units back up to full he's expecting a third nexus like the worst terror nightmare right now is to see a full base shield batteries and everything up and running doesn't see it okay force fields added into the mix siege tank over there tries to like get into a fancy position battery overcharge obviously always an option don't want to trigger it too early now all of a sudden the fight is on the other side of the map [Music] that's siege tank man how many tanks have gone down this game oh god actually never mind uh four siege tanks only i think a second tank at this stage yeah i wouldn't mind seeing that one rally across so he sees at this point as well with a scan that there is no third base i don't know if he necessarily needs to give up this contain but well we go from one side of the map to the next don't blink to the low ground nope it's tempting to try and catch those units but that would have been a disaster we've had some legitimately good games today guys there's the third nexus third orbital command is out right now too plus one plus one comes up for the taran player pro does it plus one for the uh stalkers done might be time to transition towards the next set maybe a couple of these probes over to the third base may as well start long distance mining a little bit early siege tank on the high ground now the cc is coming down okay so we have two bunkers being built [Music] not bad the problem is right at this point the age of the stalker is over it works well against small terran armies but at this point these bad boys over here are gonna have an absolute blast literally so you need to start adding in some other units as well so there's a second robo facility robotics bay coming up as well probably wants to transition into either colossae or disruptors here it's a relatively low eco game so maybe disruptors aren't a bad idea all right taran's been adding on quite a few workers during all of this too going for the good old marie marauder medivec siege tank hitting a bit of a supply block here so that kind of sucks but he's taking care of that soon enough yeah going straight to skype dolls and taran versus prodols is usually not that great of an idea it is definitely a thing that we see but usually not until later so products otp though after being very significantly behind i mean i say significantly behind but i almost forgot about those widowmine drops like if those middleman drops didn't happen [Music] then i think this game would have looked quite a bit better for inter like he would have had much more probably would have had the third base up and running long before this anyways goes for the uh what's it called the sonic storm research right now and double colossus and extended thermal lens and additional upgrades a ton of gas being spent all powered by well mostly one pylon a little bit dangerous if two more minutes go by and he's unharmed he's gonna be in a very good spot okay good defense so far but this is uh definitely a little bit greedy hello can you please pause the game i need to get my pizza i almost thought about doing it but then i figured i would be a huge douche no no no it would have been a replay i'm used to casting from replays that would have been fine but these guys are actually sitting there man posture is getting progressively worse throughout the game they're probably like this close to their monitors right now headphone sound is probably on a little bit too loudly they've been trying to focus on this event for the better part of the day trying to make the best of it we should not make it any more painful than it is bp someone has to go get his pizza please wait now it is saturday guys saturday is pizza day so you got that right that's true pp stands for pizza paws i don't think that's what it stands for but all right so interaction has built um uh yeah pretty good army ghosts have been added into the mix too so it goes obviously with their emp they can get rid of the shields on these protos units most notably the archons but obviously also the energy for example the high templar and of course the sentries it's a difficult unit composition to control though here for inter see how this is going to go so many siege tanks and not a lot of zealots he does need to have some really good storms but those siege tanks are having an absolute blast you can siege those sure and are you sorry you can storm those sure enough but that is not the fight that you're looking for here as pro at all the same time couple zealots here are working at the planetary fortress at this the 12 o'clock position colossus ends up going down though and most of the pro those units if not all of the proto units here have been killed speaking of getting killed fourth cc is gone good baiting right there by protozoa dp there were no zealots in that army composition so the siege tanks had a really good time a little bit of a medevac drop on the other side medevac has like no health but it doesn't matter as long as it zealots yeah now he works in a couple of stalkers instead i think it's time to bring those units home my man okay never mind liberators have arrived um much bigger army at this point here for the terran player this has been a sick back and forth man okay slowly moving forward trying to make the best of it but i've got a feeling that there may just be a little bit too much tear in here guys i mean battery overcharged pretty good but not that good right that colossus was having a good time this is definitely the best game so far we had a sick game between velharnin and redflesh earlier today that was a really good one it is that good loco [Laughter] yeah this game is really good for sure battery overcharge also really good yeah okay here we go jumps on the colossus number one colossus number two is their storm energy there is not enough energy on the high templar they're coming up on 75 very soon 13 more suvs end up going down by the way i guess it's these zealots over here that are having a grand time there's the storm finally coming up high templars do get killed though oh my god this is so scrappy because even though right protoz loses a ton of units here it's not like taran has that much eco to back this up and even though i feel like this game was over in favor of the produce and then i felt like it was over in favor of the terran right now we may actually have thrown the throne to the throne or the throat to the throw to the throw i don't know either way i think problems may be winning this now [Laughter] this has been going all over the place the game of thrones in the game of thrones you throw or you die there is no middle ground it's a quote from cersei lannister they're playing ultimate frisbee instead of starcraft [Laughter] hot potato hot potato you give it back very good free liberator being given here as a peace offering he didn't want it he's like nah that one's dirty never mind i'll take it fantastic all right here's the balls he's got two of them unsurprisingly uh a lot of suvs once again end up going down though man we have seen so many suvs get picked off liberators actually get unsieged during that i don't know exactly why okay they apparently moved back a little bit gg well played is gold and like surprisingly right okay gg well played twice good luck in the final surprisingly here because it felt to me like five minutes ago it was protozoa otp that was winning it's gonna be inter that will be moving on to the finals that was a sick gg right there enter congratulations logo this is so polite is it even starcraft 2 shout out right there as well to protozop though for showing some really cool games definitely a lot of variety when it comes to the the build orders and whatnot which is yeah awesome um so when it comes to like the the next match it's supposed to be yorono versus the winner of ubux and nepula these guys were playing like a half hour ago in game three so i'm assuming it's done nebula one they had some very long games okay all right so we're gonna be going into the next series very soon chad another best of three and then the finals is gonna be best of five why do dead units fly on 2000 atmos uh because it's uh it's underwater uh any feedback by the way for this tournament guys any improvements that we can make because so far i don't know about you guys but i'm having an absolute blast the main complaint i've heard that someone said that the first round in the bracket wasn't very fair but i mean yeah how are we gonna oh there's a form oh my god are we professionals or what wait where's the form nuke nuke apparently said there's a form with feedback holy guys i feel like such a pleb i'm just sitting here like casting games huge shout out by the way to drone rush fluffy waffle and nuke official for like organizing this because like you know i just take the credit over here but they've been here the entire time pretty much there's the link to the form if you want to look are we professionals or what did you play in the tournament no i didn't hey this is cool man thank you guys for making this if i could see around the clappers in the chat for the moderators that'll be awesome the root cause analysis pose morton reports yeah this is what we need man this is what we need the real heroes yeah i'm just i'm just a guy shout out to fluffy waffle for getting his nephew into one of the later stages yeah what a legend good guy fluffy man family first i think we're gonna go plenty over time as it is already because this is semi-finals number two and then we still have the finals as well after that you know so it'll be uh i think that'll be a long enough stream as it is but maybe maybe it'll be fast you never know okay nebula is ready cool you hear the beeps oh look i guess my pizza has to wait i just heard chat i know it's gonna be a sad moment okay but bear with me i just heard that apparently today it's not pizza day i said that lauren i was gonna be a little bit later and she was like oh that's not a problem because my mom made soup i'm like and i smiled and i said that's great but in reality soup on saturday soup saturday does have a nice little you know yeah yeah it works it works anyways guys welcome to the second semi-finals of the very first viewer tournament game number one is blackburn what blackburn there's a couple of maps we haven't actually seen yet today like for example uh beckett industries we saw jagannatha once um there's a couple of maps we haven't seen right obviously when i'm thinking of them i can't come up with it but anyway spotting here in the bottom left-hand corner playing with the blue pro probes we have none other than euro no look at the beautiful eagle bert thingamajig going on the the main nexus he's also spraying some salt inside of his own main base which is always appreciated his opponent in the bottom right with the red tear on the cvs he goes by the name of vil nepula vil nepula oof those are big words mixed together i almost feel like you should choose right call yourself vail or call yourself nepula but like it's a it's almost too much he's got like a first nickname and a second nickname it's okay hirano of course longtime viewer of the stream let us see how this particular series go we haven't uh had them on stream yet before new subscribers not today anyway yo what's going on aka long time no see mate yo welcome back dude i appreciate you yeah i don't know what the maps are gonna be after this one if uh blackburn is gonna be map number one either way standard opener here from both players he's put a pilot right on top of the salt command center here on the low ground but not until after he saw his opponent was also opening up with a standard built sometimes the second pylon missing inside of the main base can be a little bit annoying not going to be a problem today reaper's gonna get across the slow zones right here on blackburn make it a little bit annoying it's gonna get in there eventually but it's gonna give the produce here plenty of time to get that adept out what is this oh god i was drinking on my spoon all of a sudden hold up let me follow the adapter or sorry the reaper around i was always eating a spoon here i cannot recommend i think all right let's see loco i love eating spoons fair enough first little um a reaper skirmish over here always a nuisance scouting around trying to figure out exactly what's happening it's gonna be a robotics facility pretty early on right here from yorono nice little bit of micro actually on these probes trying to keep them alive grabs the reaper nepal at this point gets the start board out as well he's gonna go into two marines and of course just a regular good old production robo bay really quickly as well so there's a couple of options that you can go for here probably will go into the disruptors pretty quickly where did russia go loco rashi left me russia basically got really angry that he punched his fridge and then the fridge broke and then he said i'm gonna go cast another tournament and then he went and do that it's uh yeah it's a bit sad that's exactly that's exactly what happened yes new subscribers yo assassin forever thank you with the 10 community subs that's very generous are we gonna go straight into colossus okay we're gonna go straight into colossus this is a little bit of uh i believe it was a trap that was playing this build quite some time ago right then he went with the gateways at the front quick colossus opener at least that's like a build that i was playing for a while against uh it's one of those builds like that allows you to not die to stupid stuff not dying to stupid stuff is one of the key principles of playing starcraft 2. it's one of the hardest thing to do not dying to stupid stuff like i got match with yorono at round two he's like a thousand mmr above me yeah it happens guys hey thank you assassin he says i haven't been able to see the stream for a while so i wanted to say thanks for the youtube videos i'm glad you still enjoyed it glad you still watched alright so here's the raven coming across oh god losing the raven for free would suck okay see this is when you know you're talking about higher level players it looks basic but while this is also going on he's not losing that that raven for free between the t3 sub oof feels bad rockstar second place if they want to gets a theater threes up yeah starcraft is mostly mind games uh i disagree to be honest like technically speaking starcraft 2 is a strategy game but starcraft 2 is very much so a game of mechanics right so mechanics are absolute king and being able to uh make more stuff faster near your opponent is oftentimes more important than playing the right strategy now only obviously up to a certain point but strategy doesn't really start mattering until uh at least like halfway up the ladder i would say which is a little bit rough probably one of the reasons why a lot of people are deterred from starcraft as well because you know basically you first have to play a thousand games and get half decent and then you can play strategy which yeah can be a little bit uh a little bit painful which is why a lot of people enjoy watching starcraft 2 more so than you know playing starcraft 2. it's probably a lot of you to probably enjoy watching more than playing that's totally fine don't do it adapt don't do it stalker man don't do it late no there's so much to live for euros about 4 200 mmr bills about 37 okay wait this is your son playing mahogany which of the two that's awesome he says loko it's so cool seeing my son play live with you commentating rigged question mark no his son like he's not the admin of this tournament fluffy yorono is your boy dude that's amazing come on yorono now i'm cheering for you as well though immediately sacrifices one of the ravens or the only raven at the same time you know what that bio army i guess it's running back towards the main base some of it is flying back here but that now means that the third command center is in a lot of trouble view at this point is also kind of stacking up a ton of money and while apparently the war prism here gets interrupted for a little bit this is a clear advantage at this point for the protoss so he's got the third cc or story the third nexus done it's gotta be kind of tricky caster bias it's always funny to me whenever people get upset about casters being biased look guys if we cast the late game zerk vs pro i've seen protos win so many times before even when i try to be unbiased i will still accidentally be cheering for dessert okay it is what it is okay i can't help it either it's like i don't go to carriers and it's like oh god okay prism goes down at the same time even though the prism is gone instead of the main base there's a little bit of all army hotkey and going on over here at the front you can tell right here about the hallucinated phoenix going back and forth with the army darren is still stuck right now for the most part on two bases i mean he's got a third commence center i guess he's gonna try and lend it over there he still needs to be careful though yorona that is vil has a lot of money in the bank so you can kind of catch yourself off guard sometimes he's got four colossus i'm assuming there's yeah there is charge no blink okay blink is not not done just yet but uh he's got another prism coming if you fight this before the prism is out it could actually be a little bit scary too fourth command center gets gets planted down bill not really too concerned with uh the fact that there is a pretty big protos army right over here i guess he needs to dump his minerals one way or another huge supply block right now as well coming up here for the uh the terran player hello taran darren taran tara's not making any deposit luckily rono is a merciful god and he kills a couple of his opponent's units to open up some supply again so that's very considerate uh yeah so he hasn't made any depos siege tank over here goes down he's been losing a bunch of army so that kind of helps oh my god well this is what the colossi are looking for though right they're not great against marauders though marauders actually stand tall and fight yeah they're gonna be able to kill most of the colossal and all of a sudden your roanoke's army supply is plummeting apparently the protos player is trying to run back home nebula over here is uh smelling another dead colossus and loads up a couple of the buyer units to try and chase it down you will get it in the meantime gold base has been acquired though by yorono but that fourth cc we saw a little while ago is now also done nebula never really made any additional workers so he's essentially only got two base eco with four command centers because mules are pretty good still a good position for the proto player to be in though [Music] yeah eventually the command center finished up so that uh that gave him a whole lot of extra supply all right i have noticed that this is the interesting part of this tournament so far though whereas like a lot of pro gamers are usually over when one player gets a huge advantage there's a lot of throws happening we've seen a lot of players trying to throw or not trying to throw but they're they're throwing the game after being significantly ahead for quite some time uh no no no no that's not it that ain't it no don't okay at least it's gonna be able to get revenge right there on the missile turret guy it's gonna be one person that doesn't notice okay if you look very closely there's a guy in a missile turret are you seeing it there's gonna be like one person that's never seen it before i know there's an army marching across the map but like look at the mistletoe guy what i'm trying to get at is that missile turret should cause one supply okay clearly okay second source of splash damage added into the mix he does blink on top of a lot of these units though massive emp goes down as well by nebula who now shuts down a lot of this stuff planetary fortress also having a grand old time here comes that bio army once again yorono going for throw number two ugh all right does back off but not without losing a tremendous amount of stuff [Music] yeah zerk units should also or cirque structures rather should also occur supply they're all alive guys anyways here comes that bio force battery overcharged being utilized right away colossus should stay alive because of it couple of probes here also pulled away from their mineral lines we're gonna head on over towards the gold a few zealots over here trying to get a little bit more work done but all this time nebula has been at a low amount of eco like finally he's got workers over at the third base but that's because he's transferred like suvs from the main base if nebulae had a little bit more economy this game i mean he's lost a lot of workers i guess but if you rebuild a little bit more i think it would be in a fantastic spot yorano currently sitting at 69 suvs it's pretty nice maybe can uh build up a bit of a bigger army i guess it's scary though because at this point ghosts are being added into the mix too did i call them suvs oh no embarrassing oh god loco made a mistake again kick wlul streamer made an oopsie calling a unit another unit does loco even play this game oh my god all right bring rushy back yeah we need a professional i need an adult i don't know what the youth is or even cold anymore at this point dude dude marauders they really don't care very much oh god oh god a couple high temperature trying to join their friends gonna say they don't really care too much about the colossi oh god did he just morph in the wait wait wait didn't he's high templar of energy am i crazy did i just get empt or something not 100 sure either way nebula right now while being significantly behind for the majority of this game pushes back this force just making more marines and marauders saves as much of the army as he can but okay shield battery is in range right here of the nexus but it's also in a bit of a vulnerable spot okay well does get it in a decent enough position once again massive emps come up going down his ramp is scary but honestly most of his army is just marauders yeah there's 11 marines out but marauders don't really care too much about the colossus here comes the prison once again let's try and not kill it uh or let it be killed rather to a single missile turret this time around there you go there you go that's it trying to make the best of this as well there's a prism with this army just floating around it guess it's meant for like pickup micro and all that zealots inside of the main base right now picking up some of the terence reinforcements and once again we've got ourselves an excellent game number one marauders trying to push through this okay mostly stalkers remaining at this point gold base gets blown up zealots inside of the main base yorono is picking his opponent apart from inside of the main but this is a ridiculously close match if he can deal with the main army here of the terran player he's going to be fine he needs some he needs some high templar he's got one colossae but i think he needs a couple high templar yeah he works in a few of them right now but it's going to take some time before they accumulate enough energy even the production structures at this point get killed as yorono is feeling ambitious over here instead of the main base he warps an even more high templar to go after the no no he morphs these into archons too i don't think you want to do that i think you try and save up energy at this point right don't you oh god okay i guess the colossus is gonna be uh the saving grace here and just the sheer amount of stuff problem is produce is spread very thinly right now he's got a decent amount of supply but a lot of that supply is in the meantime on the side of the terran player whereas like the terran has pretty much all of this army in one big ball okay zealots over here or no probes probes over here working on that as well all right so this planetary fortress has been uh extremely helpful a couple of the zealots will drop out of it prism tries to stay alive but it's not happening the same time right now yorono is pulling the boys he doesn't have any minerals really left to mine anymore so he is just going for one final all-in finally should be able to kill that planetary that's nice the question is who wins this army and i think high templar our absolute key here right here comes emp number one blanketing most of these stalkers another emp gets rid of the archon and then also that colossus and i think there might eventually just a little bit too much taran i think maybe that was very close that was very close it is going to be nebula who eventually wins game number one but it felt to me like yorona was winning that for like 80 of the match yeah it's probably because of all that supply he saved on the missile turrets right yeah exactly if mistletoe would have cost one supply that would have changed everything now i actually do believe if you ended up warping in a couple high templar there at the end um rather than morphing them into arcol's and just you know have four storms available during that battle i mean assuming it didn't get them empty i think that would have made all the difference either way game number two is going to be light shade plus five seconds on this third build time there you go yeah storm is really good uh how far are we into the tournament this is semi-finals two so after this is the grand finals are there any zerk players left uh i'm not sure [Music] no no there's no uh no more zerk players left obviously because we already casted the other one two protosses and a taran ready so game number two wrong light shade uh i'm sure we get to sit back and just oh confirmed how often are you planning on doing this um i'm not i'm not like entirely sure as far as the schedule goes but um i'm having a grand old time so like we can definitely do these regularly if you guys are interested what regularly exactly means i'm gonna have to think about for a little bit but this definitely is a fun way of spending a saturday yeah but like uh maybe once a month is a bit more it's a bit much but we can definitely do them like you know every once in a while like yeah quarterly would be totally reasonable yeah but we can definitely also mix it up right and like have different kinds of rules weekly weekly is a lot solo casting especially is a little bit uh a little bit rough on your or your voice i know it's one of the things that wardy has mentioned many many times before but yeah we can do two v2s i don't know how many 2v2 teams would sign up but hello what's this there's a uh lack of a second pylon inside of the main base nebula it's gonna get across you'll see that something is not quite right all right cybercore just about to finish it's going to be a stargate isn't it there it is void raycheese in this particular matchup is very strong it is counterable but only if you watch the eu thermal video on it another taran players always talk about the thermal video that explains how to deal with this uh this particular build order if he's going to go for the shield battery follow-up as well vil is scouting around normally it gets planted a little bit closer to this this ramp um so usually it's followed up with like shield batteries but maybe yeah it needs to be a little bit careful i guess he needs to try and uh keep this probe alive okay yep there's shield battery number one void right number one so the nasty part about this build is that once you get enough void rays out you can transition as well towards for example tempest and tempests are really scary so tempest is when the game becomes absolutely terrifying for terran because like if you get three of them you can one-shot vikings you can one-shot um what are they called like cyclones you can one-shot all of the things that terence basically make to try and get rid of these void race it's just difficult to uh to pull off it's one of those builds that requires a specific approach to deal with wait is it five no is that five pretty sure it's i've played this build a little bit myself it was good are you sure either way we'll see if it gets to that stage in the game yeah it's five to one short queens but that's different though either way this is where the uh the voigt race start working on some of the structures and it's very tricky because they can back off to the safety of the shield batteries every time so with good control these units shouldn't really go down now apparently the tech lap is going to be added on here as well and this is where you do have a little bit of rng in starcraft so the way that this tech lab spawns on this side of the map yep the way that the tech lab spawns on this side of the map is in the direction of where the cheese comes from whereas if you do it on the other side the tech lab still spawns on the the right side of the structure and it's much less exposed it's four loko the exact number is four all right there we go so that does mean we're gonna go into game number three it's gonna be a rock side fastest game today probably not but it is four there you go it's weird that starcraft 2 never allowed you to choose building the add-on site i agree yeah i mean it's not really huge for uh for most of the games but uh it is definitely a problem you can run into sometimes on some maps you just get a little bit unlucky juicy joe asks loco do you like pineapple on pizza guys we have a no politics rule on this channel no politics no religion okay pineapple and pizza is that politics yeah of course it's politics man what are you talking about how's that politics logo that's like asking twitch chat what's the best starter pokemon like you just no you can't am i drinking from a blizzcon mug i am yeah remember blizzcon guys do you think they're gonna do a new blizzcon it's gonna be real awkward this time if they do a new one i don't know if they have enough pins on their shirts they need a lot of pins plant guy is the best pokemon what do you mean plant guy bulbasaur don't don't come at me by the way with like generation seven pokemon like that is no no nobody even knows what those pokemon are okay wasn't there like a literal trash bag pokemon like at this point i i don't know what to tell you man they've really run out of ideas like would you rather eat pineapple on pizza or play a game of league of legends this is the worst witcher rodder ever i don't really mind either of those two things grimdy [Laughter] like loka would you rather stick your head in the fire or eat a piece of pineapple on a pizza it's like uh yeah no i'll yeah sorry i'll controversial but i'll i'll eat you know the pizza like yeah [Laughter] crazy i know all right guys winner of this particular game right here is gonna go into the finals yorano with the cheeky little peace offering right here as well plus that rally he's bringing his opponent five minerals he's like sir please diplomacy will you accept my alliance in exchange for five minerals that i have in my proto's beak i don't know do protos probes have beaks i'm not sure it's like a peace treaty he keeps on dropping the salt everywhere so we have a cheeky little start right here with a gateway on the other side of the map if it's going to be a single gas into a low ground cc this can become a bit of a problem that being said uh nebula command center upgrade nebula detected oh he checked the main base he checked the top of the ramp i was gonna say did the man just magically figure out what to do i guess he's been max pax one too many times yo thank you mr ozzy for the 10 community subs i appreciate you dude hello hello hello hello oh my god no i mean it's fine but like that's mm-hmm you don't really want to do it right it's good to like kill the zealots and stuff killing the zealots is helpful either way eventually this should be okay but i think his produce right now oh he goes for the twilight okay he's not done yet i was gonna say i'm pretty sure you go for the okay thank you so much though mr ozzy for the 10 community subs yeah so the main issue right as to why you don't want to lose that reaper is because it's good to use against the zealots until the stalker is out but he also has absolutely no idea what the protos is now gonna do he can't scout he can't figure out what's happening he can't know if it's a twilight council follow-up or an expansion and in this case it's going to be a twilight well kills a bunch of the suvs here tries to micro these units to the best of his abilities one of the zealots apparently caught in the old army hotkey fire as well okay jimmy over here guns him down get off my lawn he shouted it's a stalker lister big a type of produce that's my best american accent i tried there's the dank shrine guys and this is usually where that reaper comes in right you have the little reaper going bloop and then you check and you're like oh it's dark templar i should probably get some detection uh at this point taryn doesn't know he does have one scan available i guess but uh no he doesn't um hell yeah brother [Laughter] i tried my best american accent years of practice a little bit risky to chase that one down high ground vision here and chase oh god in favor of the terran but here come the templar the ninjas slicing up the marines this is a quick and easy way to die my god look at him look at him poor guys it's a little a little brutal isn't it either way dark templar going to the main base the final bit of energy has been used up on the command center although he does have enough for one scan right now the problem is he's got one scan right and uh yeah there's more than one dark templar he does have a miss up turret coming up which is nice because uh it's it's you know gotta provide him detection the problem is that he's losing so much here in the process gg is cold and with that it's gonna be yorono that moves on to the grand finals ggs well done uh he played a legit macro game in game number one and he's like you know what didn't marine lord say i had the easier tools let me plant a couple structures on the other side of map see how it goes and it went pretty well yeah it uh it went pretty well alrighty guys that means we have our finals inter versus eurono all right we're doing a five minute break and drone rush will host the finals fantastic oh yeah we've had a good set of games though right like overall i was a little bit concerned i was gonna be very one-sided but we've had some good games in general so the grand finals is gonna be best of five it's pretty good mahogany says loco i'm so proud of my cheeser yep that was uh a bit of a dirty series right there mahogany but uh a win is a win huh loco will there be a prize for best game of the tournament red flash how come you ask uh the round of applause will or the round of applause will be your reward there it is for red flesh and val harnen and stop good luck that's what i taught him you taught him to cheese mahogany very nice alrighty guys i have been put into a lobby with these two legends the finals of the tournament let me ask if they are ready to go enter is ready yorono checking up on the freshest of jesus he's like all right i've done the stargate proxy i've done the gateway on the other side of the map now it's a protos versus protos what if he does it to me oh what do i do all right he's figured it out chet we can go into the first game already here we go team the grand finals of the very first viewer tournament i want to give a huge shout out to every single one of you that decided to watch this because uh it's good to see that the viewer account has been very high today at least that usually is an indication a lot of you have been enjoying it also obviously massive shout out to the participants the fact that uh yeah we had that many signups and even though i haven't really promoted it that much uh the fact that we had that many signups is really cool so thank you for being here and being part of this either way it's time for the grand finals it's a protos versus protos did they just have the better tools all long chat or is it coincidence [Music] oh god he's figured it out boys after the gateway proxy and the stargate proxy he's decided what to build spawning in the top right corner with the blue pro tools probes we have inter and his opponent with the red bottles pieces we're looking at yorono's main nexus now yorono is building a forge hirono already going for as much shenanigans as possible tries to wall himself in right here behind the back of the oh the opponent's natural expo he's gonna need some sort of high ground vision there you go otherwise getting anything done here is kind of tricky he's planning on obviously building photon cannons over here inside of his opponent's main base and inter is in a little bit of trouble chet he's gonna be able to get rid of this pylon if he keeps attacking it but the problem is that getting rid of that pylon is definitely not enough there's another photon cannon coming up this one will be easily killed but obviously this gives enough time eventually these on the low ground will finish up okay loses the one pylon over here in the meantime one probe is scouting towards the other side of the map maybe thinking about some sort of follow-up the problem is that at this point there's not even a cybernetic score taken anywhere gateway comes up here for yorono cybercore eventually comes down too but in range of that oh i don't like it chat i i know i don't like it that is in range of that photo like oh well it's even a range of the freaking pylon do i actually think killing the cyber core is probably superior here yeah he starts off another cyber core on the other side of the map think that this was meant for like a proxy uh i don't know proxy whatever doesn't really matter too much probably stargate but the problem is if you lose the stargate what are you gonna do or sorry what if you uh what if you lose the main base of router what are you gonna do okay so interest decided that his probes deserve a new home obviously he does have the recall ability but it's still going to be quite some time until that nexus finishes up and these probes in the main base are going to be in some trouble unless he kills literally everything with the void race he's gonna be in a rough spot inter should definitely try and save as many of the workers as possible though so he can recall them i think what he's doing right now is a little bit too much he's losing quite a few of these probes right now i guess not mining either is uh not a great idea stalker comes up at home in the meantime for yorono he knows that his opponent snuck out a worker somewhere so he's got a shield battery coming he's already planted down to salt mahogany are you seeing this your son cheesing three games in a row are you still proud of him like where do you draw the line is what i'm trying to say you know at what point are you like you know what [Music] yeah what's that moment how many games does he have to cheese all right it starts working right here on the pilot void ray is out two stalkers in total no food tonight but yeah he's still uh yeah he's yeah it's good the answer is yes loko there you go you know what since the probes have been recalled towards this new base and yorono is not able to deal with these void rays right now this is becoming a bit of an issue chet cybernetics core has not finished up the research either so oh my no no no no no no okay there's a battery over charge keeps the one void right alive very nicely done he really needs to power that cyber core like powering that cyber core is kind of critical yorono why so dirty man okay here comes the battery or sorry not the battery prismatic alignment once again but i think avoid right for uh a stalker is not the trait that inter is looking for gg is cool and game number one goes in favor of yorono very dirty very dirty you know what chet it's protos first pros if there's two produces in one game the odds of one of them cheesing is rather high you know what i'm getting at yeah i should have withdrawn the void raise with the super battery 100 and obviously it's all fair game patched up and good to go sir says yorono yorono previously was just saying ready ready all of a sudden he's becoming a little bit more you know a little bit more excited batched up and good to go sir inter is like nope not having any of this game number two is gonna be on light shade people say zork is dirty one thing i've learned from playing years of starcraft 2 is that the grass is always greener on the other side guys you know what sucks like whatever faction you decide to play whatever race you pick up in starcraft 2 the other two races are always going to be op it's so shitty man like you pick up zerk darren and protels op you pick up taren pros and zerk op you pick up produce zerk and t oh my god i can never win dude oh anyways oh let me fix it real quick it is indeed gonna be a best of five what happens if you pick random loco that's a good point chet you beat the system gateway okay fine fine all right gateway on both sides of the map one gas acquired second gas also being required accepted yo thank you uh jhs says i our inter can win i think his macro is a bit better but i'm not completely sure yorono had some very stellar macro actually in that game on uh on blackburn that we saw in the semis he just accidentally threw that game twice which uh yeah ended up costing him and he's like you know what screw honorable mcrotos they've seen it they know what i can do they will never underestimate my power ever again anyways i think this game might be a little bit more standard both players planting their second pile on inside of the main base which is quite important in pvp that second pylon can go anywhere you can like put it somewhere on the map as well and make your opponent think it's cheese which is also very popular now you can sometimes safely expand behind it either way products for throttles and mirror matchups in general and starcraft 2 are very tricky if you lose any units in the early game it can all become a disaster four probes or sorry four stalkers here in total warp gate research identical as well we'll see where this is gonna go inter decides to block his opponent for a little bit forcing these stalkers to stay in here for a second is he going to go into more stalkers no he's going to go into a sentry whereas on the other side of the map well there's no chrono used we'll see what he decides to go for euronow here being a little bit annoying too inter already planted down one of the pylons on the low ground pylon over here comes up as well i think both of them are looking to expand i do think the century follow-up is real nice so this is actually one of the most impactful changes they've made at some point to starcraft 2. making the hallucination energy cheaper so i believe it was 100 energy once upon a time right now you can scout out your opponent much easier than you could back then and uh it's really made pvp quite a bit better even though it sounds kind of small you don't have to like go for a stargate or a robo anymore to go for early scouts you can just stick around on the gateway tech for a little bit longer robotics facility is coming up right now in the back of inter's main base twilight council here in the meantime for your roanoke okay it's the rock paper scissors oh throttles versus protos that's why that is a follow-up here as well for inter oh you had to research hallucination in brood war you do still right i think so was that ever in starcraft 2 that you had to research hallucination i mean it's a good spell but it's definitely not that good anyways at this point yorona right here scouts out exactly what the opponent is going for in wings of liberty you had to cool cool cool it was a research in the cyber corps i don't even remember that in wings of liberty but i'm not too surprised okay so blink has a follow-up here from yorono both players sending hallucinations towards the other side of the map to scout out exactly what's happening this is what i'm talking about basically this would show up a half minute later and you can just accidentally be caught off guard blink on both sides of the map though so we have a nice little macro game here in game two yeah the kaiderin amulet i brought it up earlier today as well kaderian amulet was definitely another insane research that proto's had but that's a big difference though with kaidera and amulet they just straight up removed it because it was too strong but hallucination they just gave it to you for free it's it's a big difference loco is casting and releasing youtube videos at the same time oh i did schedule today's youtube video to go live right about right now yeah look at me cannibalizing my own youtube views wow professional content creator uh so the chiderian amulet was a research that you could get inside of the templar archives and basically it allowed you to spawn a high templar so you warp in a high templar and it instantly had enough energy for sonic storm so basically you're like oh no hydras are coming to my base warping storm storm storm storm storm and yeah that was that was the thing look at this cheeky little observer oh no anyway dark nexus acquired on both sides of the map yorano is using his spray ability on cooldown okay very important because it's uh intimidation that's why it's important i wouldn't be surprised i wouldn't be surprised at this point if the man brings along a couple of probes as well just to spray it inside of his opponent's base force field nice little bit of micro here one century ends up going down second century also running down yeah three centuries okay that makes it a little bit less good for your roano that is good for inter obviously losing sentries is uh kind of like losing like many vex you don't really want to lose them or like losing a queen you know they're not units you really want to have to replace anyways one of my favorite things to watch in starcraft 2 is watching people below the pro level blink stalker and disrupter um it's one of the most difficult things to do in starcraft 2 and i have blown up my own units many times i fully expect one of the purification novas to go you know on top of all the blue stalkers here but yeah that'd be fun for us not for inter but like for us that would be kind of cool anyways prison comes up for yorono he's going for a stalker based army instead like how me is it that the finals is pvp guys now that the game is finally perfectly balanced it turns out protos players were just better all this time and that's the the fact of the matter that's just how that works checkmate atheists there's a lot of great memes dude we can make lots of memes yeah the effect of the meta oh i like it all right hello underscore understand even picked up perry to probe barry died can't believe it luca can you make this the joke about the zealot what do you call a zealot that's been smoking weed a high templar never heard that one before guys why did the colossus fall over because it was imbalanced oh god okay good dodges so far here by your rono oh okay this is also an option rallying in with the oh army hotkey ah very good dodges loco please stop what did torch say to the evil zonaga amon okay blinks on top of the disrupter second disruption gets targeted oh my god second disrupter got targeted down as well but number three and four didn't no no last time i checked they sure didn't those were some of the juiciest connections you could hope for all right enter he's not like messing around anymore oh no fourth nexus for him though oh oh oh no that's what i was saying bro oh no oh well that's one way of getting back in the game not the one i would have chosen personally but obviously for these players it's probably also the first time that you know they're not just playing from the comfort of their homes they know there's like a thousand nerds breathing down their necks life which yeah makes it a bit of a trickier game to play inter had to try real hard but he managed to like hit himself in the nuts he's like i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do it he's like no don't do it he's like i'm gonna do it at some point he did it and you ask yourself why yeah i don't know either i'm not sure anyways we don't kink shame around here if this is what he likes you know anyways i think you want to keep this one alive your no i don't think you want to kill the disrupters man i think it's i think you want to keep them up just keep them floating don't even snipe them man if they're for free just back off yeah there you go all right backing off these immortals are having a great time though two more disruptors are going to join the fray colossus has also been added on thank you very much kio for the support yeah they've also been playing for six hours that's very true as well oh god yeah they've also been playing for six hours which is definitely not to be underestimated either just one year carl smile thank you very much 23. carl smile using other streamers emojis wow oh god here he goes good hit right there nicely done by inter inter even though he was close to throwing this game is getting back into a position where he's taken the supply lead very significantly so got a feeling that this is also mentally speaking a very important one right because if inter if enter probably would have lost this one or maybe he's still gonna lose it nah if he would have lost his one he'd be 2-0 behind after blowing up his own army that would have been rough 1-1 1-1 game 3 we're on oxide alrighty game number three we find ourselves on oxide oxide oxide when a map is around for so long you got to make it interesting by just mispronouncing it on on purpose what does the arcs say eat it okay sorry i'm done i'm done i've been gossiping for a while too okay yo argyle thank you so much as well for gifting tanning community subs appreciate it guys good morning he says argyll it's 8 p.m maybe it's 7 p.m where you're at i'm not entirely sure maybe 6 p.m i'm not sure but like either way it's it's not morning morning is when you wake up that's just how it works yeah hey thank you so much man it's 11 a.m in america loco okay sorry uh it is uh 8 p.m over here yeah new subscriber detected oh my god we got another hype train haven't we already had a hype train today chet thank you barnacle bob for gifting five community subs oh dude now we have gone all the way around the globe aaron says it's 4 13 a.m in australia anyways guys even though we had a relatively normal game in game number two on light shade um this one is apparently a little bit different inter has gone for a pilot at home as well but i'm assuming your roanoke didn't even see it okay i was gonna say i'm assuming your ronaldo picked up on that the fact that it was late so now he's gonna scout new subscribers he should find it no no you're wrong you're wrong oh i think you do want to check out for it anyway it's gonna be a robo facility uh proxy thank you guys so much by the way holy we have a lot of support coming in i would thank everyone properly after this game okay all of a sudden notice there's another crazy hype train happening robo facility also defensively right here for yorono obviously it's gonna be a little bit later right but batteries are real good especially on a map like this like oxide you have like the ramp to worry about right which makes this like a little bit awkward new subscriber detected all right here's the uh the robo facility chrono boosting out in immortal your runner should do the same thing if he goes for an observer first that might make it a little bit tricky okay hello hello hello hello he doesn't have money okay he goes prism first prism could also work but it's very tricky all right here's a mortal number uno there it is chill batteries over at the front as well so inter can fall back to the safety of those this pylon is looking mighty juicy oh no well that's bad that's really bad new subscribers that's really bad yeah yeah guys i don't know if i already said it but like that's quite bad he decides to target fire down the warp gate by itself or the warp gate research router okay now he finds out about the shield batteries here too confirmed yorono was starting to feel a little bit too confident okay gg is cold and that means we're going to game four four four all right new subscriber detected quick one what's gonna happen with pvp well play it right there yeah it's tricky it's very tricky to hold that sort of push if you don't see it basically basically what you wanna do is you to pick up on the fact that something is is weird instead of the opponent's main base and then you want to scout around for the proxies right so you can know what's coming um but instead he saw that something was written instead of the opponent's main base and he was like yup i'm going to play normal um or like normal-ish and it makes it uh a bit tricky 2-1 for inter right yes alrighty guys here we go our next game is on 2000 atmospheres [Music] we've had a lot of support here apparently it's not done yet thanks again sheriff there's a couple more notifications that are coming up during this particular game chat there's a bit of a backlog thanks alright so i've got a feeling that yorono is probably not too happy about the current situation right he's won most of his games by cheesing and i wonder if he's feeling it again that being said i've been really impressed by his macro game though so i um yeah i wouldn't mind if he does a little bit more of that as well new subscribers no low ground expos in this particular series early on at the very least like no single gateway shenanigans identical builds of course so far nothing all too surprising although uh yorano is saturating the gases a little bit quicker we'll see [Music] hey thank you the panda man for the seven months detected thank you control x great tournament thank you hallie uh take your control x as well for the uh 11 months and then james dropping the 10 community subscribers which is super generous thank you and then we had nekki with a tier 1 sub 2. hey yeah yeah yeah news is playing with fire so uranus snuck out a probe and is proxying on the other side of the map he showed his opponent a second pylon instead of the main base but then it canceled it while the probe was still around it doesn't get much more dangerous than that inter at this point probably assumes that everything is a-okay and that he doesn't have to worry about anything he can still scout though as a matter of fact i think you should still scout with the stalkers if you have them especially if you're gonna wait in the high ground there's no reason to poke up over on that high ground either way should be an immortal there it is very cheeky careful though careful though you roano hello okay good important pool back there so one probe all of a sudden randomly came from the left side new subscribers the scouts at this point cease to shield battery inter has no idea so enter in the meantime by the way is not tacking up he's going for the expo instead which is a little bit of a problem here's immortal number uno this is a problem oh look a prime number thank you zapancho for the 17. probes are pulled away as well could neverland go i could definitely go for the the prism as a follow-up i think inter is starting to feel the nerves a little bit here too accidentally force fields here probably meant to select the worker and make one of those shield batteries instead second immortal though is gonna pop very soon and i don't really see exactly what inter has got against those units we're getting to the point where everything can be too short but just the immortals alone and immortals obviously have a ton of health too we even have a twilight console at home i think just warping in more units is probably not a bad idea or an extra gateway over in this area either way if inter can stabilize here obviously he does have the natural expansion it's just that i don't see how he's ever gonna beat this army that means we're actually going to game number five we're actually going to the final game of the tournament that's always good that is always exciting all right guys who you're cheering for who do you think inter or yorono enter yorono enter it's about a 50 50. enter the arena there you go so most of the wins that we have seen from yorono were cheese right and this was like this was a a scary cheese to pull off like he had that um he had that pilot in the main base while the probe was still there and he cancelled it oh yeah yeah yeah yeah ah look i put 51 000 lennies on your own so i hope he wins okay could there be a better map number five we're on freaking beckett industries beckon industries is a cheeky map alrighty guys so spotting here in the top right corner of the final match of today's tournament playing with the blue pro probes we have yorono finding most of his success playing very cheeky games we'll see what he decides to go for here on beckett because this is a pretty good map for cheese now the funny part is that pretty much all the ladder produces out there veto beckett industries because it's bad for pvt but also bad for pvz so like this is not like i don't even know how many games they've played on this map anyways his opponent accidentally blowing up half his own army earlier today but still squeezing out the victory we're looking at inter or inter cnam i suppose oh god oh god yorono has made his weapon of choice he's going for the forge okay already enter scouting for this peace offering has been mined over in the natural expansion but here's the wall off being completed good guy yorono allows his opponent to uh you know easily um wall this area of the map off pylon comes up here for inter as well he could go for his own photons here as a follow-up which is not a bad idea either way first photon cannon is going to be building right over here even builds a gateway here as well just to try and and prevent this from being an issue probe snuck through though and this is actually really critical eurono needs that high ground vision is this is this the way this tournament is gonna be decided is first the products first brothers finals now this mahogany mahogany what are your thoughts mahogany was so excited that his son was playing in the grand finals i think yorono has done it i wonder who's more excited mahogany or yorono well it's not game over yet chet there's a proxy cybernetics there's a proxy cybernetic score so i mean there's a chance you know what there is if you can like once again go for the void race and everything else right it's fine if your roano goes it sticks around on phone cannons for the rest of the game that could be a problem obviously you can still recall workers too so he's probably gonna go nexus much quicker this time around the last time i like it it's just that yorono really does need to start transitioning as well like you cannot stick around on this for too long building a gateway over here is nice for the memes but i do think he actually is gonna need a little bit more than this okay so is scouting around with workers probe in the top left corner has not been found but the one over here has been stargate at this point is spotted and you know what guys this is not game over yet he decides to cannon rush this area of the map which is fair enough wait did he just cancel this oh god okay oh okay he just canceled the stargate to put it down in another position trying to lock that probe in there nexus over here will be killed recoil is soon going to be available though here oh intercourse gta with that it is going to be eurono that wins the very first viewer tournament three to two in the grand finals if i could see a huge round of clappers for yorono with his dirty build orders honorable macro produce i do actually think yorono is probably an honorable macro product in most of his games but the games where he gave that a try today it didn't happen very well now did it it didn't work out so hot hi mr ozzy also drops 50 community subs are you kidding me right now that's insane man that's absolutely ridiculous thanks thank you so much time for loco to get a new fridge i don't need a new fridge guys that was rushy russia needed a new fridge not me my fridge is fine what about a new lamp loco no i'm i'm trying to get a microwave i do need a microwave yeah i need a new cat i do need a new cat hey sick series though here man some fun games for sure some ups and downs congratulations once again yorono for winning this event now obviously you'd shout out as well to everyone else who decided to sign up for this we had a plenty of participants a lot of people watching and obviously also a couple of moderators that basically organized all of this behind the scenes the way this has worked on my end guys is that like i literally sit here on this screen and then i get a party invite and i click accept uh which is very useful because i don't know if i'm also trying to manage the event at the same time um i know it's gonna be very messy so you shout out as well to drone rush fluffy waffle and nuke official has been uh who have been helping me out today i've been having an absolute blast it's been a lot of fun my voice is a little bit uh a little bit scratchy at this point but uh yeah really cool even though fluffy decided to like sneak his nephew into no i'm just just loco gets salty to watch protels everyone gets salty from time to time chet there's no such thing as not getting salty and being competitive like i yeah the nature of competition is that you're trying to like you know win right and yeah everyone gets salty from time to time it is what it is also obviously even though he's not here massive shout out to mr rushy for joining me for like the first i don't know four hours or so today probably a little bit more than that really cool to um yeah also uh have him join me for a couple of the games because otherwise i'm pretty sure uh it's gonna be tricky for uh for me to cast all of it by myself as a matter of fact i don't think i could actually solo cast for six hours pretty sure that's gonna kill my voice all right this is not a great idea anyways guys thank you so much for the insane generosity today thank you so much for the uh the bits the subs the donations and everything else the support today has been absolutely ridiculous for now thanks for watching have a great day don't forget to smile i'll see you once again on monday for another stream take care guys
