    I don't often like Protoss matches due to what all the roads lead to, that ineffable death ball but matches like this, that make proper, strategic use of the other units that the race has, are a joy to watch. It's legitimate to say that in this match, the DTs were MVP. Yes, MaxPax played it really well, waiting until the right moment to strike and not making any major mistakes but then again, so did HeroMarine. This was a very enjoyable back and forth between these two top players.

      He also killed the only source of detection in the main and he had to lift one of his CCs because of the core protoss army.
      He may not of had any scans left and in which case those DTs are going to tear through his units in the main and all the non flying buildings. Which he simply can't afford just losing the tech would be a major set back, losing the production or production time (one barracks and 1 tech lab is all he actually lost so far) would also be a big set back.
      Dealing with all of that with an army at the front door, aganist a pro, yeah it's over.

    Quality wise I don't always watch at 2160p, but in this video compared to watching a random one from a few weeks back I do notice some small changes. Mostly it's the buildings and map, it looks like there's more of the little details popping out, the glowing pulses along the lines on the gateways look cleaner, the tech lab researching is more noticeable, and that kind of change. I don't know if that's because I'm looking for it or because of an actual upgrade but either way it looks wonderful.

    Awesome video! I love the Dark Templar, they're cool and edgy.

    That game would be my dream game as protoss player, containing the opposing terran while making huge damage with dark templars squad, so cool to use them that way to defend and attack too, just amazing 🤗 About the performance and the graphics sorry but I didn't notice any difference 🙁, the quality was already fine but I guess it'll be more noticeable with other games. I still love your casts about SC2, it's always good content 😉
