Thanks for watching, hope I made your day a little bit better
WHERE IS MY CLICK BAIT TITLE
Love it! BTW My fav thumbnail is BC Commodore Winter :P VIDEO BIG LIKED.
Of course the people's Terran hits with that American cheese 🧀 😂
The pacing variety of your patter and the exact amount of detail in your color commentary balancing with keeping up with the play by play is so incredibly good! I love how you cast, it's so fun to listen to every time ❤
With how warm and energetic he is during the casts, it is ironic that he is named Winter
Best sc caster ever lol
@@1upgdotcom Day9 was the best, by far, for the short time he cast games. And I loved Tastosis but probably more for the laughs, sometimes hysterical, rather than their casting. But sure, Winter is up there right now. Never biased too, thats the most important thing, in todays sick biased casting scene!
Your analysis of the games we are watching are always impressing me. Good stuff, ty for the video.
1:20:10 The face when he sees Yamato cannon on the production tab 😂
Yep - the experienced viewers of the channel instantly knew
Second.. This finals was insane..best TvT match so far this year..
I only watched game one so far and it's already ridiculous. What an absolutely insane level of play, these tvt are nightmare fuel for the plebs such as myself. The control, the positioning, the momentum of these pushes, it's all top tier and a single mistake can swing the whole thing.
Winter PLEASE cover the byun series vs cure as well, was bonkers
1:27:25 Lmao, can't believe winter misses that hilarious bluff! Maru with mined mineral SCV waiting on the second nat pretending to prepare for the second CC to play macro when in reality not even a single barrack presents in the main.
Im at the 1 hour point and I just wanna say I'm really loving it. Thanks for bringing this content and thanks to the GSL for making it happen! Such and awesome idea
55:37 sad battlecruiser enthusiast noises :C
1:20:20 stupidly excited battlecruiser enthusiast noises!!!!!
The battelcruiser play from Maru was amazing, jesus. Felt like Cure was trying to play a copy-cat in the last game but Maru slapped them down like 'You dare use my own spells against me...?"
I think your the best SC2 caster ever man, you make so many little statements that totally make sense and are funny AF.
What freaking games have we just witnessed... This is insane!
I’ve warmed up to this guys voice now he is my favorite sc2 streamer
Yea he's a funny mofo
"When in Rome, cheese."
Wise words that will outlive us all.
Dude, I haven't watched these Starcraft things in a decade. But thanks to you, I've traveled back in time to a more civilized age. Thank you sir.
3:30 That's why I like your casting, Winter. Little word-plays.
Maru vs. Cure 2 hour series? That's a big win for the fans! Thanks, Winter
Really like your gameplay commentary and insights. Especially like in-character stuff, like Brenda and gang. Would love a little more thrown in. Show the other races some love too.
That post game meme image of Terran Obama calmly giving himself a medal while the one receiving it is just cheesin with smug self-satisfaction is absolute perfection 👌🏼😂
1:39:10 the single marine drop to draw fire and save a medivac, very classy. then 10 seconds later..
Winter your casting is perfect and does not need to change, I love your banter, insights and jokes, thanks for the DAILY great content, and for keeping SC alive and well
GSL finals already? Time has been passing by so quickly. I am just barely keeping up! Super excited to watch this one
i quit playing Starcraft 2 years ago and you are the only caster who keeps me interested in watching at least for once in a while. thanks
!
I remember the first time i saw winter's casting, i wasn't very fond of him.. and now it feels like the best ! thanks for the great serie and cast !!
Maru's BC build to close out game 5 , in an actual major tournament finals, seals him up as my all-time favorite SC2 player ever - ok, well maybe tied with Dark.
clem:
Cure sees maru go BC, tries the same and loses all to raven's matrixes
Watched this live yesterday but might as well watch it again!
Some of the best TvT I have seen. Loved the tactical dunk!
Your commentary is perfect and always was perfect and never needed to change.
Your commentary "is perfect and it has always been perfect and never needed to change"
The "TACTICAL DUNK!!!"
Great game play and commentary 👏
That portrait of Maru man... I thought it was impossible to dislike him, but somehow...!
Incredible series. A pleasure to hear your stream and see the final outcome!
If I was destined to watch this game again after watching it live yesterday then so be it
Fantastic game. Fantastic caster.
Both make a Fantastic time. Took me two days to watch this but worth it. Thanks winter.
Have Terrans forgoteen they can use Ghost's EMP againts Ravens?
Lmao good luck microing marine medivac tanks plus raven vikings plus ghosts xD
I´m pretty sure someone of the caliber of Clem and Byun should be able to micro that composition with no problem. I mean, if it works for me, a gold player, it should do wonders for them. Not sure Cure can micro them as well though.
Must say it was one of the few games I have seen with No ghosts. Can you fault them. Where would you find the amp to use them effectively?
@@Zulu4impi when the Ravens are bunched up, which they often are when there's a tank line
@@Mike-fl3zx Because its about the timing, you have to wait for the opponent to go mass Raven before making some Ghost, otherwise its just a waste of resource to pre-emp the Ghost production against non-Raven army. And with how much vision you have in TvT, its hard to sneak a Ghost in and EMP all the opponent Ravens. It works for you because you play against Gold players (no offense), but not that easy for these guys at the top. Btw, I think Maru tried this before, maybe in one of the GSL match last year where he made Ghost to deal with mass Raven, but it didnt work out.
Finally, wanted to see your cast on this one, I fucking love these two
Pig, this SHIT IS STRAIGHT UP FIRE.
(Dot thought this idea up right?)
Do this series combo’d with NINA, DARK, HERO, SCARLET, NEEB (if still not in college), YOURSELF - u chicken - , Reynor. (only allowed as Protoss/Terran), Olivera, Serral (please enjoy the sun sir), Special, Harstem, Winter - if not busy, Lowko , Ragnarok and Maxpax (GL on these 2), printf (for the bacon memes), Gumiho, and MOST IMPORTANTLY:
the Seward Mermaid himself (just so we can see straight up sick mastery of urine and fecal squirt gun matter inserted @ the greats of all time.
I guaranteed it’ll be you funniest content and possible a new addition to Pigfest - (which is coming up when?)
Love your sighs of excited contentment hahahaah
Tvt best matchup especially maru vs cure, i hope a terran wins!
1:35:00 only a small amount of marines dropped out; was the purpose to lure Cure into a false sense of security? Or did Maru fuck up?
@WinterStarcraft love yo' shit, been following you a long time, favorite streamer. Thank you for all you do.
Lol both you and Tasteless (the main cast) missed the double drop by maru, the reason he lost at 37:43.
And somehow, I missed it both times I watched it as well, lol.
Good enough games to watch twice, happy to get your take on the games Winter. GG
Didn't he say, "OH he had a double drop out on the map... but he had to bring it back!" right after that?
Its always fun to watch games on my skill lvl.
i personally have never really liked tvt that much but this was a great series.
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing match!
Maru, the monarch's terran, shows why he is still the best terran
Always the best commentary.
Great game, great cast - thank you Winter
💪💀👌
Absolutely Epic match, congratulations Maru
Thanks Winter for a wonderful cast.
Your commentary is lurpak and has always been lurpak, Winter. 😆❤
iirc Anti Armor Missile reduces the number of shots it needs for a viking to kill another one by 1, so it's actually very effective, it's like you have an upgrade advantage
Anti armor missile reduces armor by 3, and vikings have 2 attacks so it's +6 damage for them. it's insane
There is your viking v viking upgrade matrix. Damage on the x, Armor on the Y. Hits to kill.
28 30 32 34
-2 5 4 4 4
-1 5 5 4 4
0 5 5 5 4
1 6 5 5 5
2 6 6 5 5
3 7 6 6 5
So on even upgrades, anti armor missile doesn't do jack shit.
Also going armor first instead of attack is better as it increases the hits to kill by 1. (That's where anti armor actually matters then.)
This was his best series of all time !
(no spoiler comment because people actually read these before watching the games god knows why)
I believe winter is the greatest SC2 contributor in the world. maybe challenged only by Temp0
1:48:27 Deja vu
At 17.17 Cure shouldn't have turned around. if he'd unloaded that drop - game over, then and there. And I think that sums up the difference in players. You gotta be bold!
That 6th game though... Cure was playing so well, Idk what the hell happened to him but well.. Maru is still Maru.
There is no Cure for The Maru!
WINTEERRRRR!
TvT looks so insanely stressful. There's so much micro, and one wrong move and everything dies.
They need to add winters player cards as co-op commanders.
Hey man you look like the son of Kevin Spacey. Love the channel by the way.
Great commentating
Battle cruiser wooooo
If cure had of realized there was nothing defending in g6 he could probably have a clicked
Top notch.
1:13:00 I would pay an unhealthy amount of money to even current blizzard of they changed just specifically the Thor's Javelin firing sound. I don't even hear it all that often but when I do it is just the most annoying sound imaginable
I'm a simple man. I see winter upload, I click.
Then realize it's a mirror match and I click elsewhere.
Your loss. It was really good.
Who knows where you can download replays from this championship?
You can subscribe on patreon for the replay packs: www.patreon.com/GSL
I'll cast another series To-Maru.
Wow 2 hours 😮
tuning in @1500likes :D
The Real Winner is us, the fans.
always have bean.
Do you ever do live streams of grand finals, I'm sure your viewers would want to chat in real time as your commentating.
Okay but I do play a ton of Factorio, its true.
This one is uploaded almost a half hour than he usually does. Very exciting
@winterStarcraft where are from in the world? trying to figure out by you speak and im clueless
You can't just play the fusion core music and then say "I don't want to get people excited". As soon as that music plays longer that 2 seconds the people are excited!!!
A+
Nice
Thanks for the cast! But tbh, I'm really tired of all the TvTs. Am I the only one who thinks this patch is pretty weird? How many more TvT finals are we going to get?
the good thing about TvT is that I care so little about the outcome that it becomes great background noise that don't distract me
Thankfully no one ask.
Banger Bangmington over there.
Cure is both great and frustrating to watch.
feels like watching WW2, mass amounts of infantry with a few supporting vehicles
Great job kid. You make me laugh. Oldfatguy.
Can we get an obligatory pvp since we got tvt?
God i am so high i thought you said "tomaru" instead of "tomorrow"
Please give Cure something other than the "Common" card, thats extremely disrespectful
9:59 was that a slave joke?
niceee
this is insaine lmfao i wuld have quit literally 1 million many times
you see winter, you always say pvp is so random and such a poker match, but in pvp you have perfect scouting information at virtually all points, the probe stops any cheese, and sentry hallucinations give you a 30sec repeat scout, it's like playing poker with open hands
while that game 3, looked like a build order win of sorts, im sure that hellion push from maru would do really well, if cure didn't line up that 2 base tank push/all-in, after the initial scouting scv, scouting in tvt becomes extremly difficult, you cant get past the wall, a scan is too expensive, and jumping a reaper in is not only unreliable but may also lose you the game if youre missing that reaper.
so i feel like tvt is way more of a "dogs playing poker" game than pvp
edit: Even if you consider that the probe will scout the lack of a 2nd pylon and you still don't know what proxy/cheese it will be because you may not find it. You can still systematically search for it to rule out options 1 by 1 and a stargate counters all of them, proxy robo? void ray. proxy twilight? oracle, either for detection or killing their workers. proxy stargate? phoenix.
Also based on the gas spend on the first 2 units you can rule out possibilities very well, or the push will come so late it's ineffective.
You basically have perfect information at all times.
The best cross race match up is TvZ, the best mirror match up is TvT according to the viewer polls. Your opinion simply an unpopular one, a bad taste it is for a protoss fanboy.
@@bittersweet4074 has nothing to do with my point
49:02 missed opportunity for a like and subscribe reminder... I am disappointed.
1500!
when in Rome, cheese
This is better than romanian fotball championship.
1500 likes on a TvT? That's crazy talk
but it Maru
Nice balanced game when there is only 1 race from semis to finals ... no wonder its dying
