"Well, Broodlord infestor is not what it once was, and then was again, and then also still was, but people think it wasn’t. But it was still, and then it still was. But then there were swarm hosts, so it wasn’t. But it could have been, and then it still was. But now it REALLY isn’t." -Artosis

[@fiercehan6791]

😂

[@StoutGamer]

I was planning to type up the quote at 34:34, but realized that by the time I'm done with that task, StarCraft III might already be out. So Thank you for going through the effort.

[@reval1989]

That Artosis explanation of the entire history of Broodlord/Infestor was beautiful

[@bertlemoi431]

omg been 2 and a half weeks off the grid and now watching what i missed... oh how i love these casters

[@addm15]

“He puts on his shoes one at a time like every man.” Best line ive heard

[@damnplaylist]

34:35 lol best Artosis analysis especially when Tasteless wraps it up

[@leebone1]

I nearly did a spit take lol

[@alexandrudan1339]

Amazing :))

[@galanoftaa6439]

Takes out a top 4 Zerg and goes toe to toe with the best Protoss at the moment. I hope Juanito keeps it up. I'd love to see him make Ro8 this season. If he keeps playing like this, its a real possibility.

[@vlnjnkie]

the real possibility is gsl win man

[@Shmandalf]

He always gives such awesome showings but just barely doesn't make it. It's bound to happen eventually, he's determined. Easily the best foreign Terran.

[@duende29]

@@Shmandalf Dunno man, Clem is getting better and better.

[@jsominsky]

Crazy how seeing byun react to his first gsl still makes me happy, I love this game.

[@nightshadowninja3053]

Artosis and Tastless are like the bread and butter. Perfect together.

[@triplea657aaa]

Special is a very smart player

[@daathgnosis2098]

he is fat and glasses

[@vannessw9638]

4 victories against Soo

[@RenonTTV]

@@zzzci9796 Terran below the absolute best players is hard to manage with the micro, but in the hands of sc2 gods who can multiprong attack whilst microing two attacks at the same time, Terran is incredibly strong.

[@YongyoonKim]

He is a foreigner style player.

[@CrisTowi]

I am Mexican and I found the round of cuatro, cinco and seis joke extremely fun!

[@YongyoonKim]

This Mexican cannot win a single gsl. He disappoints all latinos.

[@FedeNGM]

Yo también se cansaron de tirar chistes mezclados con análisis, son tremendos estos tipos, no perdieron ni un poco el toque, parece que fuera ayer que empezaron con la GSL. Es una lástima que ya haya perdido tanta notoriedad este juego, es muy bueno, ojalá nunca muera a nivel global.

[@FedeNGM]

@@YongyoonKim dude why the hate, is good enough that there is latin american player there. You really do not know how the things are here that a video game is a really small part of the culture and there is so little support to do this for a living. So stfu

[@lowkeybeams5663]

I always kinda wonder if SC2 gets enough viewers for the contests to sustain the production quality

[@jaredhettick1635]

They wouldnt have just signed a 3 year deal and moved to a way bigger studio if it didnt.

[@luker.6967]

I think it's a lot bigger in korea.

[@jenniferhamels1176]

South Korea has a dedicated cable television channel for esports. People there still watch the SC2 segments when it is on cable TV.

[@josefernandez4423]

Esports is so big in South Korea. Just look at Special and Scarlette, they can afford to live there just to play starcraft.

[@zandiskoul]

A brawl into a clean reevaluation of unit potential and travel distance on the 2nd map was nice to see. He might be dangerous in a round of 7 for sure. He seems to at least hold some pressure well.

[@mrToglovski56709]

*Eternal Empire always hosts epic games* . Ok the one in Ice and Chrome here was definitely the most epic in this series. GG

[@woelke]

i like how he beat the Zerg first game not with aggression, but by just trading favorably the whole game till the bugs were broke

[@kennethso6811]

My friend lived for this game. He played it at least 12 hours a day. He dropped out of college. No social life. It ruined him😔

[@ImmortalInflames]

Very happy for Special!! (I love his Bio-BC plays!)

[@marcusjohansson9305]

Holy shit, was so scared that after The epic intro they were going to say, 10years of history now ends

[@StoutGamer]

1) RIP soO's hopes for Season 2. 2) RIP SpeCial's leg muscles during that 5-minute interview at 43:30. 3) RIP me for getting dizzy thanks to SpeCial's pendulum moves during that interview.

[@ImmortalInflames]

48:17 That smile!! =D (after Special says Thank you?)

[@Brian6Boitano9]

Too much sexual tension

[@trifio5242]

When you see how a good Terran (such as Special) defeats SoO, you start to REALLY understand how good Maru really is :)

Special looks nervous around Gyuri. Gets more restless as the interview progresses!

[@namehere4285]

Yeah special!!!! Great job

[@nitroyetevn]

Wow I didn't know he had the scheduling miscommunication last season, that must have really sucked. But he came this season with enough wins for both.

[@alexandrudan1339]

[@Monk98]

Dunked x2

[@shairuno]

I was rooting for Special.

[@bcarlizzle]

Soo doesn't seem to improve much. Zest is a great benchmark of top skill, since he always focuses on the most efficient current builds. To be the best in the world, you need to be able to beat that shit consistently. Soo always felt like the same but as a flexible Zerg, but he's just gone downhill

[@HectorGonzalez-vp1ss]

This guy fucks! Holy shit that was amazing by Juanito

[@roncho]

juanito el mejor jugador de latinoamerica nada que envidiarle a los mejores de korea una bestia

[@Maddawgchihuahua]

I've been cheering for Soo for 6-7 years but I'm sad to say it's time for him to quit =(

[@JeePsSsS]

He just won TSL5 where there were a lot of top players such as Serral, Reynor, all top EU overall, other Koreans... so I am not sure about that lol

[@Harry-hyl]

he is going to the military now, it's his last GSL showing. He is still doing decently, with the luck in meta, matchups, maps, etc there are up and downs based on your playstyle. I feel soo is a pretty mid-game oriented zerg, so things may not be in his favor right now?

[@hoangannguyen4181]

Spoiler: Why Soo, morph corruptors into broodlords + no anti air = throw the game

[@tigera6]

I think Soo didnt know about the Vikings in the 1st game he use the Broodlords, and has ZERO air presence. In the 2nd game, Soo actually use the Infestor, but still not enough and those Infestor become trash fodder under Ghost EMP shot.

[@adrianbundy3249]

@@scarredable True, it would be appear the issue that popped up in all 4 lost games wasn't the brood lords; it was the lack of scouting, and guessing the buiilds Special was going with. It's to an almost BM level; but special is better than that. I guess that might separate current soO from other top zergs like Serral; who actually seem to spend in insane amount of time trying to get scouts around constantly.

[@YongyoonKim]

He threw the game for match fixing.

[@treel.1981]

TY has fantastic micro😒

[@bunsofthunder9827]

Geez man. Can we start instituting a dress code for competitors? Special is a great player but he looks like he rolled out of bed and threw on whatever was on the floor. These pro gamers should look inspiring for younger players.

It almost looked like SoO intentionally threw the match. That broodlord fight in game 1, he was 50 supply down with 1200/1200 in the bank, why not make more corruptors?

[@roniromero1313]

no larva, he was down to like 2 bases i think

[@lierox9]

He didn't know special was rebuilding bcs. He went brood lords originally because the bcs were dead. Only a madman would rebuild them in the face of potential infest or corrupter! But special's a madman!

[@sepg5084]

@@lierox9 yup. sOo killed the BCs, so he turned the corruptors to broodlords to shift into offensive. but Special is rich enough to rebuild a number of BCs. unsupported broodlords are sitting ducks, sOo got outplayed.

Cohle tanks are not sieged or firing, Zerg only down 1 upgrade and roach has 1 armor so don’t make it like its a big deal, a unit that costs 50 mineral (basically Free) should not be that cost effective period.
