WHAT IS WITH THESE MUTAS?

[@Feign_Clips]

A surge ignites deep within, a bioelectric storm racing down my spine. My skin prickles, each nerve vibrating with raw intensity as goosebumps rise in reverent formation. Heart pounding, breath shallow, I’m electrified-suspended between awe and anticipation. These chills aren’t just a feeling; they’re a visceral reminder that I am gazing upon the unearthly miracle of Starcraft.

[@Capris9x]

Starcraft and poetry is a wonderful combination.

[@JohnDobak]

Mutas flap their wings: chills.

[@RomanHofstätter-i6b]

I rate this video 10 chills out of 10. Thanks Arty

This was one of the best zvp matches I have ever seen. The absence of corsairs is motives error in my opinion. As you stated, if protoss doesnt get into the 50+ probe count, they’re basically in a 2 base all in position. Zealot knew this and kept motives ground army busy with hydras and a few lurkers while killing probes almost the entire game. Motive just couldnt expand and produce units at the same time. Not to mention those mutas could go anywhere the protoss army wasnt. Its almost like zealot used his ground army as observers too, to make sure motive stayed engaged with those hydras/lurkers while he wore motives economy down with mutas. I think this game was brilliantly read and played by zealot. If motive would have gotten +1 air weapons and a group of corsairs he would have been able to keep the mutas pinned down. It would have forced zealot to either commit more to hydra/lurker or make scourge, which would have decreased how many ground units he could produce. The game winner here was definitely how he kept the probe count in the 40s. That was an incredible game. It almost reminds me of how terran uses vultures in tvp. Constantly rotating and wreaking havoc wherever the enemy army isnt. Thank you for casting all of these zealot games Arty, he is hands down the most entertaining zerg player to watch IMO

[@cantthinkanameup]

Also, a group of corsairs would have been able to not only slaughter those mutas, he would have been able to keep killing overlords and slow the pace down, which is what he desperately needed.

[@chongli297]

The one thing I would suggest to Zelot (like he would ever listen to a non-playing noob like me) is to try to get overlords near his hydras and mutas and pick off some observers. Those lurker lines he was using to zone out the main goon army of Motive would have been absolutely devastating if he had picked off all the observers with a given goon ball. On the other hand, I have no idea what Motive was supposed to do as he was suffering that tempo disadvantage and basically fighting for his life just to defend for more than half the game!

[@DuyPham-ex5rz]

I watched some of Zealot's games on this channel and I somehow recognize his playful style: when he knows he has the upper hand, he can just keep spamming units inefficiently and make the most enjoyable cut out of the game. He could've upgraded the mutas wayy sooner if he was so committed to harassment or get some defilers to cover the lukers. Motive would've felt so pressured that even though he denied every attacks, he couldn't take any control of the map. If you guys haven't watched it yet, there's video also on this channel when Zealot vanished the count of probes from 51 to 19 by only one drop. ZeaLot is so good.

[@kevinf.2556]

you cant preplan to late mutas, because its a reactive play to toss not making more than 1-2corsair thereby allowing z to go for mutas

[@istovall2624]

32 when I woke up this morning, but the chills only came when I started the video

[@matthewbrown336]

-1F here my guy and I agree

[@radivel1]

Zelot is basically the world's best BGH player.

[@kevinf.2556]

Mutas are such a great hitsquad with high risk high reward toss has all the right tools to destoy mutas so its rare to see mutas paying off this much. outstanding display of muta micro + hydramaco

[@MJ.Actual]

not too rare lol over defend air die to ground so your goal is to skimp on air as much as you can as a protoss.

[@andallthatcouldhavebeen...9175]

Straight up bullied by the bugs! Need some of that Terran tank power!

[@stefanc4520]

That was so much pressure!

[@diegobuenovillafane869]

Zelot had such a fun jajaja bullied Motive to the end. Motive never saw again the other side of the map.

[@Jmanstar171996]

Artosis, I think screen time has been causing me headaches. Could you please release a paper back visual novel of your casts?

[@michaelsousa590]

I'd say toss users are avoiding dark archons like the plague, but without a dark archon you can't avoid the plague either.

[@michaelsousa590]

"Dragoons do not fight well against mutalisks." Agreed. They don't fight well against hydras either....Please don't even cast PvZ anymore until they discover the dark archon I'm dying from cancer and it's too painful to watch :/

[@guyfromdubai]

Ahhh, time to watch my nightly starcraft to fall asleep to and keep me chilled during these warm nights. Thanks Artosis

[@Jmanstar171996]

Zelot watched a 2012 DRG vod

[@akomis5007]

That was awesome game. Lore accurate Zerg. Love it.

[@aquilegia9734]

Motive letting his main get killed was sad to watch :(

[@torathel23]

I feel like Motive didn't expect that continuation of heavy Muta production. Even when that group took out the main Nexas I feel like he didn't think it was a big enough group to actually kill it. When he lost that Nexas, he had that huge army in between the bases doing nothing while hydras killed all the probes at the 3rd. Maelstrom would have changed this game 💯.

[@jakovmatosic4890]

Minstrel is such a great map this ladder season.

[@anonymoose5921]

Is it chilly today?

[@michaelsonntag1469]

Chills coming out😂

[@nanthilrodriguez]

My guess is lings are probably "with these mutas"

[@Chamuzi]

Great to be back on ArtosisCasts

[@eriks2962]

Any cute rabbits to share?

[@cfoy3]

I am pretty sick so not sure if the chills are from my fever or the video.

[@joelb1299]

Motive was never in this. Shouldn't have had this much trouble against mid and late game mutas.

[@thomascastellanos7358]

At this point call it battle of the barcodes or something. 😂

[@dermensch2553]

Competitive P v Z is also fun...

[@yubyubyub1960]

Alright Flash isnt playing much so I understand why you keep our king from us for now, but maybe you can give us our heart-throb prince BarrackS.

[@noonefromnowhere99]

My daily Arty video!

[@davidramtjarn7766]

thought the game was a really good one! i love the aggro, it makes for a good watch aswell

[@MrLogistician]

Why didnt protoss get more sairs to counter the mutalisks?

[@Prometosermejor]

Great grame

[@trumpisbackboi]

Lane number 4 lmao

[@rockdrigo9326]

How is a 6 base zerg winning a game against a turtle opponent with 3 bases a surprise?

[@TheMattman06]

The Zerg comp to get up to 6 bases was insanely inefficient. That’s why it was a bizarre game. Protoss usually chomps through Zerg with that muta commitment late in the game

[@rockdrigo9326]

@ I think the bad choice of Motive over defending led Zelot to go 6 bases and insist with the muta harass. Snow would’ve destroyed him lol

[@TheMattman06]

Agreed. I think over defense was the issue as well

[@phoenixlich]

Zerg is so HYPE!

[@wowlightshadow]

Giving it another day, then unsubbing. This flash hype when he came back, then casting a bunch of games, then never again? Torture....

[@rockdrigo9326]

Flash played some amazing games against Soulkey some weeks ago and we had nothing from Arty, don’t know why tbh

[@wowlightshadow]

@rockdrigo9326 yea I watched them eventually, but the commentary was by a E rank player and half of time talks about non-starcraft stuff...

[@L0ngLiveG]

Flash is playing mostly custom

[@grogsnot87]

Y no Corsairs. Silly

[@supaflytoon7684]

Please can we have some Sharp games, so many Terran games and no Sharp at all :(

[@trumpisbackboi]

Awesome game !! Pure BW content ! GG
