"The overlords are saving us from watching the worst of it." Funny as hell, 10/10 commentary.

Winter is the best of them all.

As a newb getting into this game for the first time, your videos have given me the strength to beat the very hard bots in versus! Your channel has made me fall in love with this game again after not playing since I was literally 10 playing SC1. Thank you Winter!

[@BuddyWudzyn]

It’s crazy I look at the whole tournament, and because SC2 is 1 player instead of a team, first place in sc2 has the highest single person prize of any game there

[@The_Bartender00]

Wait... What about the fighting games tho? Like tekken and sf

[@ninjabreadman22]

​@@The_Bartender00 they never have prize pools that rival SC because the South Korean govt boosted the popularity of comp SC above any other competitive game in history aside from DotA

[@conor9966]

Street Fighter 6 also had the big Million dollar grand prize at last year's Capcom Cup to celebrate its release. I beleive next one is also set to be 1M but a bit smaller of total prize pool for 2nd,3rd etc

[@The_Bartender00]

No I mean as in the EWC it self. Isn't tekken and sf and some other game all have at least 1mil dollars

[@PJOZeus]

Think its technically still split between the org they're signed with and such or other stuff, it's still handily 6 figures but don't think they take home all 7 - I mean the greatest of all time just barely scrape 7 figures over their whole careers

[@crookedspin]

"Site Delta: where things will change" very high brow, well done

[@jamread1849]

I love all the asides to Jimmy. When I first started watching Winter I really did think he had an assistant named Jimmy he gave a hard time to.

Jimmy is real to me.

[@henryskye6331]

I love watching SC2 only when Winter is casting it I try watching the tournament from other sources and it was just not the same without Winter's humour man

[@blockboygames5956]

totally agree!

[@ferjavm]

Same

[@ryanscottnix]

Same here as well. He has the perfect blend of in-depth commentary and extremely witty humor. His passion for the game, and respect for the players, is also a joy to behold.

[@TheGImp1214]

“Showtime showing us he wont take this shin anymore” he wrote that one down before the cast

[@TheNocebo]

I'm so happy that Your JPM (jokes per minut) ratio has so incrased. And all of them was funny also 10/10 from me.

[@ryancreagh9796]

4:04 “It’s Time to Show everyone he’s not taking this Shin anymore” Winter you never fail to bring a laugh with your expert commentary 😆

[@bhilly812]

"Showtime backed up against the himself right now." What you did there, I see it.

[@boeffen5352]

That is goddamn poetry!

[@RatreoTumips-ig8lg]

showtime aka "the wall". so witty !

[@Gronnthabomb]

" *Nimbwralgm* Was that my broodling noise? I'm both embarrassed and confused... it's like highschool all over again" 1:05:09

[@billbaggins1688]

Get this guy a gig as one of SC2 official tourney commentators.

[@reeleh1791]

That moment with 20 probes blown up was insane

[@Jastorm187]

Not just blown up... EXPLODERATED! 💥😆💥

[@sparkfx5874]

"Showtime backed up against the 'himself'" bruh this is why I love Winter's videos. The wordplay is great, I wonder if any of this is scripted or he's just that quick off the cuff.

[@ferjavm]

Idk but its hilarious xD

[@lightdx7008]

I'm pretty sure is a mix of both xD

[@CmdrChar]

I love Winters comparison between "caster" and "commentator". Keep up the great vids sir!

[@bt920]

Winter has his blazer on. Strap in everyone, its gonna be a banger!

[@stalwart56k]

with the Kurzgesagt channel T-shirt! Dressed to impress ^_^

[@hughmcfall8634]

Commentary was so on point for this one, absolutely hilarious. 10/10 Love this f'n guy

[@squeezlemons]

An extra long winter cast for a cool match-up between players is what I love to see! Hope you get to cast some of the matches that take place in the EWC proper.

[@bartermens8219]

As expected Shin started by running head first into the wall. But he kept his Shin up. And cause a lot of Probe-lems for the Wall who slowly crumbled. Ironically in the end, his own disruptors, disrupted his chances of winning. So as physics agrees, a wall cannot move, and can't go to the championship. Great casting Winter!

[@Tazdingo01]

28:00 "Now you got a serious probe-blem." Perfection.

[@AeronVale]

If Showtime and Swarmhost were instead spelt Showtm and Swmhost, then all of the letters would go in each other's

[@blockboygames5956]

I don't know how you worked this out, but it is true. :)

[@blockboygames5956]

Great casting - I mean commentating - as always Winter. Thanks so much. I like the recent trend of wearing a jacket too, which adds to the image of being a commentator vs a 'mere' caster too.

[@MyNameIsXYlp]

15:06 we know what comparison you were thinking of winter

[@Char.tradeacc]

Love your commentary and positive vibe.

[@samsoniteprosser591]

Game 5 is such a slugfest. Great commentary and very exciting match!

[@ffs55]

You are such a solid announcer! Makes all the diff in the world

[@jtsierra64]

I love how he talks like he is about to laugh. Makes me smile 😅

[@glucosepappy9663]

Haven’t played SC since the early 2000s and barely understand what’s going on but watching this with your commentary was great! Great content

[@Scorpsie]

You really are incredible at this, the wits, the awareness, it’s always great to watch you cast 👍

[@Kritzkross]

Lol been waiting months to use that mother ship poster to get his "paper" joke in. Love it

[@ferjavm]

Hahahaha

[@danielbrannon8371]

Winter is such a big dark fan boy that even in a game where dark isn't competing, Winter talks more about dark than the players in the current game😂

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

Showtime is a pro-player who has a very special talent for making the Qualifiers for the Round of 16 feel like the Grand Finals

[@fongtaiyuk1462]

27:38 was awesome, I mean really!

[@justinpeterson7246]

Nail biter of a series. Those two are so well matched!

[@TheRecurrence]

Winter is just the best caster out there... period.

[@quintyss1290]

Back and forth series are so good!

[@BuddyWudzyn]

Also I’m pretty sure showtime thought he had already built a robo in G2 because he was floating so much gas

[@user-zh8du6mp1m]

The timing on the mothership joke had me dying 🤣

[@danielcramer4146]

I still can't believe dynasty got into the map pool... It's so bad for zerg to play on it might as well just pop up a loss screen on match start.

[@evandaniel6198]

"If you will see this diagram you will know more about the mother ship. Notice it is made of paper."

[@leo96888]

The correct plural of nexus is nexuses, or alternatively nexus. Correct and accepted: One nexus. Multiple nexuses. Multiple nexus. Incorrect: Multiple nexi. This stems from the latin etymology of the word "nexus", as it is different than the word "cactus" for instance, since it is a fourth, and not second, declension noun. (This is much more rare, which is why there is a common misunderstanding)

[@JamesDeanStudiesLanguage]

Saved myself an hour and a half finding out that they still have not fixed protoss.

[@UrielAngeli147]

AMAZING Game 6. Those Stasis...

I love your bits. Queen Brenda and Jimmy are so good

[@JollyGreenWizard]

Out here with the brutal mothership jokes I can't even

[@azemaviator]

The blueprint bit... I nearly died laughing

[@screes620]

I'm really curious what is to the right of you when you cast that you look at when you seem to be talking to someone else. Is it a poster of something, or a pile of stuffies?

[@bothpinkysbroken]

Nice!

[@__edorian]

What a series

[@espernova228]

gotta love the moment Showtime said "It's Showtimin time!" and Showtimed all over the place

[@iamkraine]

[@anatoliysavitskiy6371]

"¿Por qué no los 2?" - like from me 😁

[@despingator_]

If the protoss do not have a mouth, how do they shout "My life is for Aiur"?

[@quintyss1290]

It's a pre-recorded broadcast via a Bose stereo system. Also promotes brain-washing tactics.

[@diegospidero9801]

Did you know on KZbin you can drag the closed captioning to a different spot on the video so you can see better? I just found out on PC.

[@wolvie90]

Apprently MaxPax qualified but declined. He's that dedicated to stay anonymous.

Game 5... new what was gonna happen as soon that carrier enter the production que

[@firestarter000001]

So i checked on liquipedia Esports world cup and it seems both Showtime and Shin are going , not sure how it works.

When you're about to win - just build carriers.... every time lol

"Showtime has solid base level mechanics" - fk me winter 🤣

so is this turney equal with riyadh master in dota2?

[@danielbesoyta7643]

Thanks for the upload, I'm a bit new to the starcraft scene so I gotta ask, do they usually surrender that fast? It surprises me that they get a little behind and just call it quits

[@schach6666]

The way the pro players know the position their in is unreal. Even with their limited information.

[@blockboygames5956]

It's not that they just give up. They just know when a situation is impossible, and there is no point wasting focus and energy on a situation that cannot be won. They save their concentration for the new game. :)

[@drorbedrack8720]

What is this 1 million tounament? when does it start?

[@OldSpaghettifactory89]

I dont think I can survive mass oracle meta again. Still remember the pre nerf oracles when 5 would just fly in and nuke down queens, spores, hydras(oh they did bonus vs light btw) AND the lair

[@donsanders9889]

Great work from Jimmy, some of his best work yet. Winter better up his game or he's going to lose him to a producer that recognizes his immense talent.
