when the warp prism saves are so much value they build an extra stalker
I'd like to point out that Printf used the colossus to move forward and tank the few mutalisk shots while moving to the second base in the second video... it took 2 volleys from the muta's and if it hadn't and they'd shot the stalkers he would have lost... literally used the colossus to tank for stalkers. And given how close the game was... it worked.
Obviously
@@jkkim6928, don't be a douche
@@jkkim6928 deeee durrere🤯😭🫠🥸🥸🥸🤓🤓🤓 woaaawww!!!
Printf isn't boring! This game was exceptional, but even his "regular" games are super cool to watch! I always enjoy them!!
I was asleep at the wheel or something at the start of the 2nd game. Literally just forgot to build my cyber for about 40 seconds. When I noticed I just panicked and went all in on trying not to die to ravagers. Absolutely disastrous start
lame
@@Kr-oy2bo lame is thinking your smart calling printf lame 😆
That micro in the 2nd game was insane.
his prism micro is sick! dude had stalkers popping in and out more than my mother did popping in and out of my life!
TLO??? That's some hard-hitting nostalgia right there!!
wow, most entertaining games I've seen in a while. My man stepekanne dodged a disruptor ball with a freaking spine crawler
Oh, these are two big creative minds clash with each other on the first map ! :D
I actually hate printf's strategies, he's so nasty on ladder, but watching it is way more enjoyable than playing
I love the nasty strategies.
I think i speak for quite a few of us; The cheese series/games would actually be fun to watch if there was a 50/50 chance of the highlighted cheese player losing. It is super satisfying to watch cheese get shut down. Like I honestly don't 100% get the draw of watching cheese always work.
I agree. About half the games I send in are losses, but it's up to pig to choose which ones to cast
That pick-up micro in that 2nd game... damn.
my boy in the second game will be clicking on warp prisms from now on lol. fun games
It's not just that printf remembered that warp prisms can power structures, it's that he knew TLO would try to depower his structures and therefore the warp prism was higher priority than a colossus (especially since the colossus wouldn't be out in time).
the extent that the warp prism amplifies the power of collosi and stalkers in the right hands is also very relevant. Ghetto blink for stalkers and collosi with blink is spooki
warp prism micro is highly underrated when compared to medivac micro.
This is awesome
Second game I wish printf had a moment to recall his lone probe so he could restart his economy a small bit would have helped hugely.
thanks for sharing that. that was some of the best micro i have ever seen. very fun to see something so different and skillful
That Prism micro is downright inspiring!
Damn! That second game seemed to be so lost. Very impressive micro!
that ending fuckkk
that was like PartinG blink with prism micro
Funny enough I've been thinking about using the prism for buildings forever now but just haven't been playing to actually try it out lol. Glad to see someone has
I love watching videos of strange play styles. Please keep them coming!
Prism OP. If you're printf that is.
This reminds me of my 2000 Atmosphere game when I built my natural in their third and my third in their fourth
Amazing. He only lost two stalkers in that final clash and won because of his prism micro.
The micro in second game is one of the best protoss micro I have ever seen
Even pros forget to scout 😂
Love king of cannons!
For those who want to know StekepaNNe is Bedpan in dutch / west flemish...
PrintF is a legend
17:49
this man is craaazy! i love that!
That second game was insane
Cannon rush more pig, show more printf.
Printf is an SC God :)
Should’ve the warp prism have been the priority for Zerg?
I was thinking the same.
"And THAT is the power of DISGUSTING warp prism micro!" xD
Not sure why he didn't target the warp prism with the mutas in the 2nd game.
I didn't forget about it.
Man it's been a while since I've last seen TLO
The king is back! please cast every game by printF. the regular ones too! they're not repetitive, theyre high intensity & high skill.
You must be completely out of your mind to write "gg" to this guy.
I find it interesting that static defense rushes are hated so much: Cannon rush in SC2, as well as tower rushes in AOE2.
It requires a solid build order and microing, the same as any other strategy.
It's not fun to play against most of the time, that's why. You're forced to go with a completely different build from normal and you can't do the plan you intended. Or the cannon rusher fails and it the game is immediately over.
In either case the person on the defense doesn't get to execute their prefered gameplan. It's also not the most fun to micro against immortal prism. Which is only as big of a deal as it is because your build is so limited you can't counter it in the way you want.
@@Win32error854 that's a fair argument. It's a very niche all-in.
I still don't mind getting tower rushed. It brings variation in the ladder and punishes greedy play styles.
@@Venvon000 I get that. It’s not nearly as bad as the older cannon rushes from WoL where there wasn’t any thought or micro involved, but it’s still not everyone’s preferred thing to play against
@@Win32error854 I mean, that's basically what it comes down to: it challenges the adaptability of the opponent. Are they too rigid, completely capable just so long as the opponent applies pressure from their "strongest" direction, but then they absolutely fall apart against any slight variation? Or are they flexible enough and have enough system knowledge to change in response to what the opponent is doing?
The mighty oak snaps when it stands up against a storm too strong; the flexible palm survives hurricanes.
@@omargoodman2999 Yeah but that's not necessarily fun to play. It's like any cheese, it has a function, but that doesn't mean people have to like playing it.
I don't know a lot of people who love double proxy builds either.
Why didn't StekapalNNe focused down the Prism?
prism micro on the level of what printf just displayed just makes protoss look fucking overtuned. what a disgusting showing. i was so angry on behalf of that zerg! lol
That second game made me nauseous.
I always liked printf more than println. Now I understand why.
Why dont toss upgrade?! Since hes got forge, early +1 wpn can finish fast, 2 shot lings instead of 3... armor reduces to 3 dmg taking 34 44 total hits to kill single zealot! Plus big resistance to queen hits, just keep rollin z's and overrun w very early 1-1, possibly adding phoenix to snipe OVs
Im not technically do here w this proxy, but its a legit strat as NO ONE upgrades anymore. Toss units up 2 upgrades or more swings fights largely in toss's favor...Upgrades are my top priority as toss because their upgrades add more than other races ups...its toss's strength to amplify already more powerful, more expensive slower building units. Lots of enemy units die in one less hit and need 4-10 more attacks to kill toss units with simply being up one tier in upgrades. This is a massive advantage but zero toss upgrade before 6-7 mins usually. They forget the massive power increase by having 2-3 ups above the enemy, especially combined w guard shield vs terran and other supporting strategies.
All toss get 2 dmg w one up, a good bit even more; voids +3 dps, immortals get 5, carriers 16 dmg w one up! So important yet no one uses them properly
Well for one, he built zero zealots so the 2-shot lings wouldn't come into play. In general I don't think he can afford to let up on unit production at any point.
@@BaufenBeast i was speaking in general bro, not about this specific game and opening he did; obviously that couldntve been done here. In fact i open the 2nd paragraph stating dorectly im not speaking about this proxy in vid (tho the correct placed the wording funny).
Getting +1 wpns quick most definitely wouldve helped a ton here specifically, but everything else was just how i see no one ups toss as they should, what a massive difference it makes for them specifically, and a few examples of what a couple of those huge boosts are like 2 shot lings vs 3, 3 stalkers single volley a 50hp marine vs 4 stalkers with blink harass, guard shield makes marines do TWO dmg to Z's hp instead of 5 when used having arm up too...going from 29 shots to kill base lvl, to 35 w +1 armor, to 67 under g. shiels is MASSIVE plus killin 'rines in 3 hits vs4 as well etc etc. Even w/o the g.shield, an extra 6 shots per Z, even more if they get to recharge shields a bit, is big with lots of z's compounded by this added kill time lasting all game becomes HUGE...just one of many similar and more drastic benefits
Im a chemical engineer, my mind loves math and a good challenge on figuring systems out so i spend way too much time modeling these things w equations from data i get, using calculus to find optimal values of the various variables and the critical points plus much more itd take me an hour to begin trying to explain fully. Short story my point toss upgrades is their races unique and best advantage but no one uses it anymore as if its trivial. By doing this, i was extremely good years back quitting bnet w a 768- 23 1v1 record roughly but i played comp. pro liKe YEARS i lived SC and then SC2, but trust me one edge i had aside from unexpected wierd sgt they never expected to work (also worked out via these facts) was my number crunching and mad use of always being up several upgrades of proper kinds vs the race/situation.
Sometimes id have 3-3-3 bit b4 or shortly aftrr 10 mins, where now 1-1 usually isnt done till 6-7 mins. 2-2-2 fighting 1-1 is a massacre unless your completely incompetent. Im just trying to help ppl's play by reminding how effective this is as most arent aware its near as drastic as it actually is with protoss. Y i was furious they increased their ups times...total unfair horse sht, but now its equal again i think. This is WAAY too long already i could discuss strat all day...have a good one man
I've seen insane warp prism micro... but that's absurd. Is printf the maru of protoss?
12:40 uhhh. what? you can set different rally points for each of your hatcheries. he wouldnt be rallying drones out of his main if he had both hatches on the same control group. he would just possibly build too many drones in his main when he meant to build them at the expac.
Impressive
Stekepanne = frying pan :)
Naah, bed pan
i remember when TLO was Terran.
I remember when TLO played random.
What a terrible thing to lose.
Gold3 me suddenly feels elitist. I do this with my prisms too 😆
Why don't the muta just attack the warp prism?
GL HF :):):)
YES YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS more please :D caps yes
that's stupid micro. As someone just starting this game in week 2, just amazing to watch lol
I think your camera is distracting, but pretty good commenting! Subed
Thnx Lukas
Mutas are soooo weak. Im not even considering them in such scenarios... Its better to somehow survive and make broodlords xd
They are exclusively for harass. Much like DTs.
Florencio vibes
and what about the viper which can move friendly units into strong spots !
Technically this is smurfing because he intentionally loses games, by not playing standard...........lulz
ngl, i managed to finally get to diamond with my sad 80apm...I was pretty proud of myself, thinking I was learning the game.
after 3 days of nothing but stupid cheeses like this, I uninstalled and am unsubing from all the SC2 channels.
This is dogshit. It's boring to watch, boring to play, boring to play against.
As with many of blizzards games, they are unable to balance it. Result being the games become a coin flip. Did I get lucky and scout your proxy or cannon? win Did I not? lose...
Disgusting
Am I being picky, or is 1080p for someone who makes vids for a living a bit to low? Or at least, with this "low" bitrate? I feel like I would try to increase either resolution or bitrate on my recordings. Large ssds are pretty cheap nowadays and there are some resource cheap codec to record in...
Keep in mind the resolution of the game itself isn't all that high so not sure if there is much of a point in going past 1080
Barely anyone is watching videos above 1080p and most YT views come from mobile devices so 1440p and especially 4k are not worth the hassle atm.
@@Norirane If you view 1440p videos on a 1080p monitor the bitrate issues (video artifacts) won't be as much of an issue. Uploading especially sc2 content in a higher bit rate would also help it not get as wrecked by CZcams compression. I'm pretty sure he has the setup to at least do that. I am no expert on the matter though, but being a professional content creator you should know about getting good video quality. It's just a matter of a little research I think.
