$100,000 StarCraft 2 Tournament - Most EPIC Game!

[@BoxCox]

Oh jesus, finally. I felt like it's been ages since the last game of the year. They've dragged me into rehab, saying nonsense like "you can't have a game of the year every week' but here I am back at it again, feeling great. Can't wait for the next one.

[@rjawiygvozd]

I wonder if Winter gets involuntarily possessed by Brenda at this point, like she's always there and just takes over in the right moment

[@hugosantos7180]

Brenda asked the infestor to do that, you can confirm this given that winter gets back to normal after a few secs, strangely his shirt doesnt change colors

[@nmgaro2156]

You have doubts? I mean... is obvious that this is a fact

I guess I'm just a hater, but... I can't stand when he does that. It's like someone telling the same bad joke every time you see them. But, I can respect that it's his channel, and his choice. I'd, personally, love it if he stopped with the Brenda bit.. but don't expect him to. 🤷

[@BodyKnight]

Winter, just so you know, I'm nor watching your videos because of clickbait thumbnails or titles, but DESPITE of them.

[@Malo-os9kk]

I think very few want to do clickbait, but it is just statistically true that it works. And honestly so long as you take the titles and thumbnails with a good deal of salt it isn't really an issue

[@impishlyit9780]

@@Malo-os9kk Doesn't really matter if it works, it's a matter of integrity. Tricking people into clicking your videos and then not delivering is immoral. Now, I'm pretty tolerant of people doing the wrong thing, so I tend to ignore it if I like the content, but I have actually stopped watching people before because their content got consistently worse due to the desire for clickbait titles.

[@screes620]

I think my favorite players for each race right now are Hero, Gumiho, and Reynor. Keep up the great work Winter, your replays are the best.

[@IsaacFNghost]

For me it’s Clem (oliv is a very close 2nd), Maxpax and Reynor

[@Devillionaire]

Oliveira works so hard. That's his true superpower. He might even be less naturally talented than a lot of his peers. But he just works so damn hard. Hearing that story of how he treated Maru to some KFC to learn how to be a better TvP player is so classic and true to form for him. His sincerity and passion that shines through every time he plays is such an inspiration. No wonder he's the only guy who took Serral for a ride in Atlanta and really put Serral to the test. Honestly, if Maru worked half as hard or as focused, he might be able to challenge Serral for the #1 spot. But it's NOT Maru. It's Oliveira instead who's stepping up to Serral. Truly, the people's world champion.

[@Daniel-rd6st]

52:20 I think Reynor could have won that fight, if his banelings hadnt been blocked by his zerglings, until all his zerglings were dead. Still a close match!

[@catbert7]

That 2nd game was wild!

[@indoloreveritas]

Does anyone else love how Reynor manages to sneak 2 zerglings into CCPlayer's mineral line, kill 3 workers with 2 lings, finish a Nydus next to said mineral line, and then proceed to throw his main army, which happens to be right next to another Nydus, into a tank line instead of going into the Nydus and annihilating the bottom half of the map? It's almost as cool as Maru dancing his reapers behind CCPlayer's mineral line in the WCS finals and then putting them on hold position. Very gosu.

[@cubandarknez]

SPOILER high octane matches. Super interesting to see how it is all on a knife's edge. VS serral the ling got into the main just a tad earlier in the match and that meant there wasn't enough to close with like there was vs Reynor.

[@theCrazyXII]

Hey Winter! What music do you cast to? Is there a playlist I can listen to, or is it a disjointed collection? Either way, I'd really appreciate if you could share it with us. Thanks!

[@HarryTheOwlcat]

It seems to be StarCraft 2 OST

[@cedrebleu7181]

It's "Starcraft II - Wings of Liberty" soundtrack

Watching Oliveira take the win makes my infested heart sad, but I dunno- kind of an oddly unaggressive Reynor (for his baseline) after game one. Nearly a 100 supply in drones and misclicked tech in game 4... this just wasn't Reynor's best showing. Still an amazing series by any standard!

[@majormajorasic]

16:50 I'm still surprised that these professional tournament matches do not have Small Game Hunters setting where mineral and gas can not go below 1, so holding every mined out base still gives you some minimal income.

[@TheNerdForAllSeasons]

The Avalanche rolls through Reynor once again. You cannot let Oliveira build momentum. Reynor still refuses to learn that the Ling backstabs are nothing but wasted larva against him, and only cost him supply he can't afford to not have in the main fight. All the Nydus plays, all the units wasted trying to sneak into the main, it doesn't work. A handful of units either kills the worm or kills whatever comes out. Reynor doesn't learn, ever. He's the same player he was 7 years ago.

[@SylvisNuvara]

we can't all be serral, not even reynor can

[@ryder8646]

to be fair Reynor is so good it probably is more than a full-time job just to stay as good as he is I don't think most people will ever appreciate how much time and effort it takes to be in the top 5 in the world at anything

[@impishlyit9780]

He might be the same player in spirit, but he's certainly not the same player in skill. He's one of the best players in the world atm, you can't achieve that by stagnating for half a decade.

[@hunterghost1494]

Watch ESL masters spring, best of 8 are 50% Zerg, best of 4 still 50% Zerg. Zerg seems to take a bit more time to adjust but then they do fine, atleast that is the case wirh the current Patch.

[@TheNerdForAllSeasons]

"If Zerg isn't winning 70% of premier events, it's a nerf" - KZbin Zerg players

[@general_armstrong]

you are right we should bring old MULEs back so zerg can get the 30 percent win rate they deserve

[@laureloneiros1500]

Top Terrans like maru are playing a different game than everyone else. In this same tournament, maru played serral after oliveira, and you can clearly see that maru wasn’t event trying. He just threw 0-4 because he didn’t have any intention of beating serral via practice or strategy. He just wanted to make Zerg look OP and nerfed. Korean terrans optimizing prize money by making their race look weak to secure buffs and reliable performance in tournaments even if it means giving up the #1 spot.

[@hunterghost1494]

@@laureloneiros1500 that is such a stupid conspiacy theory. One the same level as the zerg cabal. If that would be the case, why is zerg still 50% of the best of 8 and 4? That is more than terran. And why would terran just give up the biggest prices of the tournaments with the biggest price pools. The prices are extremly top heavy, concentrated on a few tournaments. How many weekly cups do terrans need to win to make up for the loss of the price money difference of First and second place? 40? And that is just with the last tournament. That would be just a financial stupid move. And this doesn't even account for the fact, that it is a calculation on a group but if a single Player can gain from going against it, they profit more. Just makes no financial sense
