Good to be back! Ill be catching up on some of the epic games I missed the past few months and a few different series. If you have suggestions - contact me on twitter @SC2HL (DMs are open)
Happy to see u back bro. Keep up the good work.
Just wanted to say thanks brah.
Glad you're back!
Glad your back
I haven’t played SCII in years and I don’t follow the tournaments, I literally only consume it as media through your channel and it’s a complete joy whenever you upload, settling in to watch a comfy curated edit of exciting clips that still manage to form a cohesive narrative within matches and series. Keep it up!
Love to hear this! Hopefully the StarCraft interest stays and you’ll keep watching ;)
I do definitely encourage you to play some StarCraft! I still play in my free time and there’s nothing more rewarding than getting that sweet promotion. I wish there were bigger patches, and new units introduced to make it more invigorating for a casual audience (we haven’t had a major patch in years).
Would recommend watching Lowko and Harstem as well, since Lowko has decent quality content (longer games, but not as good commentation) and Harstem is obviously a pro, so he has exceptional insight to the game and provides great commentary.
SC2HL is still great, since it provides all the highlights from brilliant games in a small package, but if youre hungry for more, then Lowko or Harstem are also good.
I Agree whole heartedly with C. Cook's comment!
That's sad. Watching games here instead of AfreecaTV
I'm the same way. I have no interest in playing the game. I dislike pvp rts in general, because I'm so bad it's not fun to me. I love watching the games though!
The cannon rush execution is pretty standard for that map, it's the throw that's genius here...
Totalbiscuit is 100% cackling at Ryung from the afterlife.
Do you have any proof there's an afterlife aside from "religion"?
Ryung was very patient through out the GSL. Never overextending, truly a masterful game
The time he was impatient was against Maru. And he lost. Patience is the key to high level plays.
I have absolutely no clue how 10 zealots, 5 archons, 11 stalkers, 5 colossi and 2 sentries lost against 13 marauders, 9 ghosts, 13 medivacs and 46 marines @12:55.
It seems like Ryung strategically tanked the 5 colossi with his marauders and 13 medivacs on the right side and pulled his marines back, while Zest's unfortunate blink left with his stalkers had them engaging into pure marines with no colossus support.
By any measure that I would have taken this fight as Terran I would have lost conclusively.
96 supply vs 116 supply and on top of that, stalkers.
It's called stim pack
Ryung played really well, sure Zest threw that but only after the terran has this aggro defense
Greatest comback and greatest throw in hisfory of starcraft 2
I'm a simple man. I see cannon rush, I click.
Surprised Zest managed to throw that.
The zest special lol
Not to play the pro player card…. But if you were given control of Protoss at any point in that game you’d have lost. Plus Terran had a chance to kill Protoss with his cyclones Marines+scv pull at the start…
I unironically think Zest is matchfixing
@@bodgee1094 I'm a 5k mmr terran player in NA, not a pro player as you said. We're just surprised someone with that much more experience and time put into the game is able to throw a won game. It happens to the best of us, but we've been seeing it occur more commonly for Zest than others.
Zest has always been pretty bad for a pro in long macro games
It was so genius how zest lost like that
The cannon rush did get him far ahead ;)
@@SC2HL Nah the cannons were costly and terran catches up fast with mules
cannon rush is the most basic level of cheese I aint impressed. Zest is all macro and not enough micro. Archons vs emp... really?
Or just that TvP late game becomes unwinnable for protoss past a certain point because EMP removes like 50% of the protoss's army while also making psystorm useless and protoss late units are bad nowadays.
@@Pher0cious yes ofc im sure you wouldve done better lad
@@suzuki-qo4rm I'm glad you agree. LAD
I thought for sure 2-3 times Ryung was dead.
You're not fully cheesed until you're Zestfully cheesed
What a match. So often, matches come down to one or two good plays...
This was just one person climbing slowly out of the ashes.
This was mostly the other player dig their own grave though
@@N0noy1989 i dont feel this like a zest throw, more like ryung outplaying him at each chance given.
Been too long since I saw anything from SC2HL, but you came back with a great video!
Woot woot!
Good morning and thanks for posting!!!!!
Also uploaded a new video two days ago! That one was even better:
czcams.com/video/MZ--UYhR1YQ/video.html
@@SC2HL Thanks! I just watched that one, and it was great too. It was fantastic! Not sure why my recommendations got all screwed up, but I'm glad to see more videos again!
Zest threw that game. Lost like every fight.
Archons vs emp
really?
Yep, After his cheese he had a slight advantage and was able to maintain and expand his lead slightly through a larger economy.
However, he treated it like he had this overwhelming lead and played it out a bit like as if he was zerg faceplanting gate units when he should have been using his economic advantage for a greater tech and higher tier unit advantage.
If his first big push on max was delayed by about a minute, trading out some of the stalkers for a few more colossus, rush zealots, and a few phoenixes (mostly to remove the medivacs) with a tech upgrade he'd have crippled Ryung's army to the point a quick warp gate rush zealot on the follow up probably wins the game flat out.
As the Protos upgrades are your bread and butter and of all the races and economic advantage is the weakest for the protoss as both Z and T can negate an economic advantage against protoss fairly quickly.
@@vampuricknight1 Exactly my thoughts, he kinda played it like he was a zerg, swarming the terran player with his overwhelming amount of resources converged into units until the terran is out of steam. If he was a bit more cautious, and just contained ryung, until building up a death ball, he could have win.
at 11 minutes im surprised zest didn't fly his useless carriers out of there. Seems like quite an error.
Yea, you're probably rather right about this.
I love the fact that the title didn't spoil the result, cause this definitely wasn't about the genius cannon play.
For ryung to survive and then come back like that from the likes of zest, Was truly legendary
8:59 bless you
Can't believe Ryung held that cannon rush and went on to win. Amazing game! Well played Ryung!
Haven’t watched an sc2 game in a while. I am so happy to see GSL finally using the health bar on damaged units setting
Good to know that even since 2012, marines beat anything lol
I'll be honest, I had no idea that pincer maneuver was coming at the end. Ryung is a total terran BOSS.
at like 13:30 we see a chain of reinforcements from ryung, they are all missing a tiny bit of hp
he was actively stimming units out of his main to reinforce during his macro rotations, pretty insane.
oh shit never realized, cool that you pointed that out
I'm not saying it is, but how do you know it's not just F2? Whenever I F2 my units across the map this usually happens.
@@methodcafe Only protoss players use F2
Ryung clearly listened when people said "micro like maru". That defence against a massive lead was impeccable.
Zest did kinda feck up the macro game though. Carriers into throw. Must have been shook after that cannon rush got pushed back
15:31 that was pretty much all our faces.
Terran vs Protoss: hi, it's your old friend EMP. You know how half your HP is in shields? We have a move that instantly removes those. Have fun!
And if you are fielding archons about 90%
cheers to whoever wrote the description for this awesome game. XD
The comeback is truly amazing
really gg! and top commentary too.
That match was CRAZY
That was insane!
that was a crazy game for real, this was excellent
Nice video !
Epic comeback, and epic comeback victory! Ryung was so tenacious there. That was maybe one of the most tenacious efforts and performances ever, in all of SC2.
I can't believe that comeback. That was insane.
I use this channel to train my English listening skills
XD
Its insane how these guys don't panic in those games. I wish i could keep this cool.
Wow - crazy game!
Wow what a comeback
One of the best games I've ever seen!
What a throw! Zest lost two big carrier balls and ryung stuck the landing!
I gotta be eating something while watching your uploads.
EMPs are OP! I can't believe that we had this game for 10 years, and we still have a spell that can erase a 100 shield with one click over a radius. One Ghost can have the damage output of 16 L1 Marines assuming they both attack one target. Given that the EMP Radium can have easily 5 Toss Units. That means a single freaking EMP can have equal the damage of 80 L1 Marines against Toss units that have more than 100 Shield!
Insane!
Ghost having EMP has literally been a thing since the original, and while it was good it was never some ZOMG OP nerf plox thing. Then again the original SC didn't have a select all army button for you to try and deathball with so armies tended to spread out a lot more naturally meaning AoE could be more easily mitigated.
If AoE is killing you, spread your army out. Zest did his damnest to deathball roll over Ryung and Ryung made him pay for it.
@@Kingofredeyes bs, so many pro players get hit with an EMP that takes out the sheilds of a squadron of Stalkers or Zealots or whatever. My APM is around 100, if the pro player cannot escape it most of thr time, then I have no chance.
@@Aymanzendo911 pro players are also using the "select whole army" hotkey. It's frankly a noob key that needs to die, in every RTS, but to many people just look at it as a "quality of life" change instead of the noob trap it is.
@@Kingofredeyes lol. Calling Zest a Noob. Good one. Think you would beat him?
@@stellatrabucco4494 pointing out the use of a noob key isn't calling someone a noob, it's pointing out that the select all key is a net negative in the game that actually baits players into poor unit control.
Daaaaaamn. Zest got put on full tilt!!!
what a throw
halfway through, I felt really bad for Ryung, but he kept doing the right things and Zest kept trading inefficiently over and over again so Ryung finally took the lead! That was the best underdog game I ever watched. Well done, Ryung!
Wow you gotta be feeling good about how that game went. What a turnaround
what a crazy and not give up play by ryung.
What a grind by Ryung. Great game
As a Terrian fan, this game was a fucking treat! Like holy shit! That killing blow with those perfectly placed little bio ball was chef kiss
so good :D
Good example of how OP Terran is.
Artosis and having chills, name a more iconic duo
Fantastic match.
What an insane game!!
Welcome back!
This is the biggest throw in sc2 history.
That was insane, up a 4k mineral bank, although zest sat on a lot of minerals, ryung just handled the agression. on the last major fight where zest lost the colossus he really messed up by not having the templar, he had ryung on his heels and shouldve focused on agression by having those templar in the fight. GG tho
Wow I did not expect ryung to pull that off
That was a damn good game!
Not as good as Maru’s comeback against HeroMarine, but definitely a good one.
Wow, amazing game.
The cannon rush was cute and all but that game was insane!
cannon rush is for nubs with no other skills not impressed
incredible
This is a masterpiece.. those who don't give up will be rewarded.. not to mention those who underestimate your enemy cause massive advantage.. will suffer heavy losses..
Wow. Just wow. Terran Terran Terran... Ole Ole Ole Ole....
Zest threw his huge lead in that game and thought his macro would win. Where were the disruptors or mass carriers? He just had gateway units with some high tech units for support against a turtle terran.
slow and steady wins the race
What a game !!
Ryung has attained Maru-levels of refusing to die
Wow. Ryung had no business winning that! What a comeback. Or what a throw, depending on who's side you're on ;) Great game and great casting nevertheless
"He is starting to believe"
The way Ryung doing an epic comeback is absolutely GG 👍👍
nice counterattack
A Tasteless hold my beer moment.
Really genius
Wow, I honestly thought Zest had it when his mineral/gas bank was WAAAAAY higher than Ryung's. He got too reckless with the trades. The barrack and command center placements by Ryung were also genius plays. it made it so hard for the 'toss ball to roll out.
Out of all the pro players I think Zest is the most creative, in both winning and throwing his game.
Massing archons vs ghosts, pro gamer move
The second I would have seen a turret at my base I would've quit. I can't handle any rush.
For the longest time I kept hearing people cry a3bout protoss ball and thinking why would you not use ghosts in your composition. And people looked at me like I am the crazy one.
What an amazing game! Thank you for not spoiling the ending with the video title! :)
The gst this time is epic. So many close matches and upsets, seeing hero, creator and ryung play so well is awesome. Obviously the zerg imba is still there so they are still winning no matter what and will probably win the series as well but if you can ignore them the other matches are awesome
Still with the whining about Zerg? Can't just accept it's the players aren't the same level? Zest was the previous GSL champ and look what nonsense he did this time around? Got knocked out of the group stages. herO is supposed to be the next Protoss torchbearer, but if someone aggros him first, he crumbles. Zoun is the Protoss who got far in IEM Katowice 2022, and what did he do this GSL? Played dumb and got knocked out in the groups like Zest. Creator is improving, but still so far away from the top.
For Terrans, there's Maru. You see the BS Maru is doing in GSL right now? Just throwing games that people start to suspect he's either wasted or intentionally losing. Cure is like Zest, capable of great things, also capable of great throws. Byun has his wrist in offline tournaments, which means he can never try for worlds again. Bunny kinda there kinda not. Ryung is doing great now, but I'm not sure if he can maintain that.
And you're going to compare these guys to Dark and Rogue? BTW, Zest beat Dark at the finals last GSL. I don't see anyone complaining about balance. And then when Zest plays like ass, it's the Zerg's race fault? Come on. Protoss and Terran just don't have any god-tier players.
Reynor practices vs 5 GMs in Archon mode. Serral is even above that, just playing with all Koreans of all races like they are babies in the last IEM Katowice. If Serral and Reynor transfer races, then that race will be the top. Simple as that. Reynor and Clem switched races before and Reynor's Terran trashed Clem's Zerg. It's the players not the race.
Holy shit. What a game
What a banger game
What a legendary game. Don't know how Ryung hung in there.
Ryung is METAL as fuck! WHAT A BEAST!
What a game
Even pros throw games with mass archons warp ins to fight a good chunk of ghosts.
I don't remember seeing Feedback used in this game. There were sooo many Medivacs
Ryung is so good
WoW won't even compare this to Maru. Officially The Ryung comeback. Insane gamer.
thermal lance if you're going to float minerals and get that many giraffes
I love it
Ryungs defence vs that army was crazy. Any normal human would have died 30- times over to that army. Holy shit, the fights he took were unbelievable.
Did I just see a comeback of bio vs T3 protoss, 1 mining base vs 5 mining bases??
Uff partidaza
Zest betting agaisnt himself
Ryung doesnt need to dodge the bullets, he can see the matrix
