Artosis vs. S Rank Zerg

[@madkvideo]

Whoa what a lucky zerg... Have you ever played against Flash, the luckiest gamer in the planet?

[@qwektnn]

LMAO

[@Lokswar]

Yes I'm starting to think perhaps mms is not very strong against ultra defiler

[@Dziaji]

He got lucky because he git matched against Artosis, who is absolute trash vs lurker and/or defiler. He is so good against mutas, but he has no clue what to do vs lurkers or defilers. It makes me cringe when i see him fighting groups of burrowed lurkers or making giant clumps of marines when a late game zerg is attacking.

Not being able to kill off that hatchery at 9 position really hurt. Mistakes kept stacking after that.

[@thakrak]

When I play and lose a close match, and if it isn't plagued with stupid and ridiculous mistakes, I usually enjoy the defeat and find myself saying... "dude, what an awesome game!! starcraft is soo cool"; or something of the sort. I find it sad Artosis, whose starcraft skill and knowledge I admire, is so ragy and bad tempered when he plays, specially when he loses... Man, this is a great game. You should enjoy it and have fun. And often that is not what you show.

[@0Akeldama0]

would spider mines help deal with units in dark swarm? a handful of vultures could switch things up

[@brinstar1]

fully agreed! Though lings can be used to waste the mines, I believe a few vultures within the army and then planting the mines when engaged could be extremely useful if the Zerg player doesn't deal with it immediately

[@viniciusmagrin]

What about overlords? They can detect mines

[@0Akeldama0]

@@viniciusmagrin true but its about how you use them. A spider mine can be dragged into terran army, they can see them the whole time.

[@Dziaji]

Doesn’t matter if they can see them. They can’t reliably kill them before they detonate.

[@goldenstyx]

Try increase the firebat ratio in your mmm combo. Medic fb take cares the swarm ultra crackings combo in the late game. Also maybe use the energy on defense matrix on fb instead radiate against ultras?

[@pigzy9807]

Have you played BW?

[@cocomunga]

Firebats do 25% damage to Ultralisks. That combined with Ultralisks very high armor means it will take all day for a Firebat to kill an Ultralisk. Yeah they do kill Zerglings good, but no amount of Firebats are going to beat 2 Ultras. Dark Swarm is just tough to deal with if you play against a skilled defiler user.

[@goldenstyx]

@@cocomunga I'm not advocating pure firebat play, but rather, increase the firebat ratio in your infantry force. If you look at the replay, Zerg always start the charge with swarm then ultra+lings, lings are faster so they always the first to engage the infantry, by the time marines finish off lings ultra already deep into the formation start slashing. Increase the firebat count so you can take care of those first arrived lings, even under swarms, then let your fully upgraded marines to take on ultras.

[@DontLookTheShoe1]

Ive heard artie is also good in AOE2 am I right?

[@mails65]

Aside the fact our dear Artie broke under pressure, why did he mention his opponent being lucky? Are there impactful rng factors besides the map/starting positions?

[@detrockcity3]

Not particularly. I guess there's pure luck in the misses too. He's more talking about things just barely working out for his opponent tactically and defensively, even when he anticipated it.

[@soccerguy2433]

Luck isn't RNG

[@mails65]

@@detrockcity3 i kinda did my research by myself, watched some streams of Artosis on twitch instead of segmented videos on youtube. Every game he scouted center for proxy gateway and the one time he didn't, he got proxied. On a competitive level, this isn't luck, this is still bad scouting. He mentioned the emotional state of a competitor affecting his/her performance being a matter of luck. All in all Artosis loses have nothing to do with luck and yes luck is rng, luck is of probabilistic nature, I am not talking about another kind of luck. Humans invented luck and probabilities to predict the future, thus they found a way to count luck by saying you have 1/x to win a lottery. So yes if I don't scout center some times I'll get proxied, some times I won't. I really enjoy Artosis videos and i think he is very skilled in micro. His mindset though and his behaviour towards chat is disappointing. He is full of insecurities and sadly chat is exploiting them constantly. Just a guy in the chat

[@RaVNeFLoK]

I think The hold lurkers was brutal. But in retrospect artosis should had waited for the vessels. It was a tiny risk he took there and it cost him the game. Also Barely not getting the hatch at 9 (though he did get a crap ton drones). The amount of scourges just barely getting into a vessel before they got shot down was bad luck as well (3-4 times it happened and it was down to the smallest of margins). Bunker placement at 3rd expo was annoying as well. The dark swarm on one almost dead ultra at third was a margin thing as well. But there was luck as well right? I think Sending the two drop ships in a straight line across the map with all those swarms of scourging milling about the center of the map - somehow still getting through to the location and drop wrecking 9 seemed very fortunate. And some engagements where the marines just moved up so nicely with the medics frantic movements continually messing with the path of the attackers (though that could be down to artosis great micro skill idk). artosis stopped producing scvs to replenish his losses in the final third of the game. I know he didn’t have many patches left but His income seemed to fall each time one of those damn ultras got in because no new scvs were made. At the end income was merely a trickle. I think He needed to focus on reestablishing 1-2 bunkers at third expo and transfer the idle scvs from 2nd expo earlier. There was a lot of reduced income because the 3rd and final income center continued to get hammered with small strike forces, like a single ultra. Awesome game though and two very skilled players. Zerg made micro mistakes as well but his macro and overall unit composition was brutal and in the end it was enough in this particular bout. Would be great with a best of 5 between these two!

[@RaVNeFLoK]

mails I agree. Artosis is a great player and has a ton of knowledge and experience. It’s great to listen to. I think he could work on his mind set during hard pressed games perhaps even with a sports coach. I think his mind set holds him back more than anything else as he pretty often seem to go on tilt. But in another way that’s really his personal style and it’s fun.

[@rampart6543]

Artosis got lost under the pressure of zerg macro... His micro was ok most of the time but he didn't manage to keep up his macro during the last third of the game

[@eugenewolf7493]

I noticed that too. Tosis was was managing to fend off the waves, but he just couldn’t keep up with the Econ. I knew by the end Zerg had at least 5 bases going. It was just over after that

you dont even need to micro terran, just put the marines there and macro instead. Also when ahead get more ahead.

[@brinstar1]

USE DEFENSE MATRIX MORE! AHHH! So triggering watching Artosis never use it... Is so damn good especially when going up against ultras. Fair enough to use irradiate on ultras when they are nowhere near your army and on defilers but matrix in general would see you win more fights IMHO

[@empty5013]

killing defilers is literally the most important function the science vessels perform, matrix is good but if you use it at the wrong time you're out of energy for a defiler snipe and thats gonna be gg, artosis was smashing defilers left right and centre and still getting absolutely wrecked by dark swarm, you really cant let zerg keep them alive

[@IYPITWL]

6:33 order supply depo BUT then he ques up marines, thats why it doesnt build Honestly why do medics have energy: it's like giving marines energy... Why is dark swarm so opaque that its hard to see burrowed units under it. Plague should do less damage to marines IMHO. Maybe only up to half marine HP instead of all of it since so much micro is used to create them. Zerg honestly has so much advantage from the beginning. Force turrets out and they become useless after first round of fliers. Hundreds of minerals become junk People who say make more tanks or (in my mind) make goliaths earlier - there is a huge opportunity cost of supply, production buildings AND supply buildings. Not to mention micro.

@@detrockcity3 Yea. That "long game" comes quick though lol. And it just feels like it comes so easily for them. Like I never feel like the zerg is having to battle his way to that late game position. Like they just get there pretty smoothly, even if you do hurt them economically, hurting the zerg economically almost seems to hurt the terran or protoss more just due to investing in harassment technology at all. I dunno, I don't play. I don't watch any low level games. I've only watched ASL and some KSL, that's it. But damn, every game with zerg in it is just crazy to watch.
