I can't believe Protoss built 6 carriers and then won the game suddenly. What a crazy twist!

Fun fact: Ssak used to be a high level baseball player. You can tell because that was one of the biggest throws youll ever see

[@rockdrigo9326]

lol that was honestly so dumb

[@tellumyort]

Ssak was also a prospect for the NFL due to his willingness to make massive punts.

[@brazilstreets7955]

He was also in the french military for some years.

[@FlymanMS]

Can't believe that Ssak won by nuking the Hive!

[@RomanHofstätter-i6b]

lmao

[@chongli297]

I think what we're finally discovering, after 3 decades of StarCraft, is that splash damage is king: tanks, lurkers, and psi storm. If you don't have splash damage and the other guy does, you get splashed and you lose!

[@HasekuraIsuna]

Tanks would be bettet without splash, as they hurt their fellow tanks more than other enemies.

[@Lappmogel]

Unless you're protoss, then its whatever

[@SchemingGoldberg]

Wow, it's almost like in a game where each side has 50+ units, being able to damage several units at the same time is useful.

[@Kenshiken]

Devourer use of the zerg was insane!

[@SpasmodicGaming]

I'm always stoked to see Ssak play

[@localneo-graphic4647]

Uhhhhhh, I'm guessing he didn't realize the Lurkers were stacked, or if he did he thought there were only 2 that were stacked (which is still a horrible idea) and wanted to bust it before the rest hatched. That's my guess at least, I'm really trying to understand what part of him thought that was a good idea.

[@ConstantineIII]

Zergs have gotten so impressive lately. I recall watching Jaedong and soulkey vods two years ago and being impressed at how tenacious they were against terrans. The matchup felt so oppressive and overwhelming. It was like being short of breath watching them struggle to even hold a third base much less kill the terran. Now it feels much the opposite.

[@DodgySmalls]

sSak has always seemed to me like a solid but completely anti-clutch player. There are players that are always in the game, trying to find a way to win, whereas sSak consistently seems to find a way to lose. Obviously he's still insanely good at the game, as he can reach SSL, but when you judge him against other top players he completely lacks that exhibitionist / killer instinct quality. No hate on the guy, as even competing in SSL is a major achievement, but I cannot be less excited for a match than when sSak is one of the players.

[@schizopathy]

Kinda like Fantasy, although he still proved himself in the end

[@lerobshow6300]

2:25 15cc from ssak, and no marine! i usually see an scv skipped here, in order to start a marine after the cc (you can start scvs and still get a marine but you can't afford the depot) in this case, it looks like he'll just continue to skip marines until his 2nd depot finishes, at which point, you're fine on supply as the cc will finish soon. 3:41 was thinking this might be 3 rax factory before turrets start, but with +1, that's unlikely, probably just 4 rax, very fast +1, and probably a still-well-timed factory, thanks to the quick cc 4:29 the creep colony is interesting, that tells us that zerg thinks there may be a vulture coming, and if we look at it, when +1 started, that could have been a factory! so because of the quick CC, everything gets faster, and something like a quick vulture into valkiries and then a back into bio is definitely possible. obviously not what we're seeing this game, but the threat of it has caused Z to slow himself down a bit. very strong, 15cc. 5:12 for those watching, quick way to tell if it's 5 rax or 4 rax: for 5 rax, you cannot build ANYTHING while you put down those raxes. you can't build marines, you can't build depots, SCVs, turrets, nothing. the moment he starts the depot after the 4th rax, it's staying 4 rax. honestly, for 5 rax, you'd probably then start marine range and then immediately be throwing turrets down, just to survive the mutas. 6:00 terrans handle this little mini-phase of play a little differently, for example, light will always pull an scv off of gas to build one of the turrets, since you're only building turrets right then, so you don't need gas. in this case, we see ssak starts a comsat before starting his turrets, costs some gas, and he's not gonna be able to build any SCVs while he gets those turrets thrown down anyway, so doesn't hurt as much to do it now. 6:38 oh, QUICK factory, very nice. we'll see if it turns into a tank push. that's VERY fast, for 4 rax. 7:07 the extra turrets in these spawns, especially, feel a bit scared. i think ssak could play this more aggressively. with his natural pointed at the zerg's main, he could have fantastic counterattack potential if he got out on the map, and would force the mutas to go battle him out there, and wouldn't be able to harass his eco. also the +1 was so fast that it's done now with flyer carapace only half done, BIG window where that +1 advantage would be big. this feels like "building more defenses in order to take more damage" 8:12 2 marines for 2 drones is real good! 5th rax, 2 ports, we'll see the nat gas i'm sure, from terran. for Z, lurker aspect nearly done, a few hydras coming out to be morphed, all looks normal, with terran definitely having a good tech tempo into the late game. 9:15 ssak demonstrating exactly how safe zerg is! well... that... was terrible! and with that number of lurkers ssak will die if he doesn't make a shop right now. then again, the hive has started, so if he starts a shop now, the siege tanks will be useless after consume finishes. still, i think it must be the play here, better to die later than die right now. 10:00 ok, and ssak has not built the shop and so will just go ahead and be dead right now. there's no way to break this lurker contain without a vessel cloud or tanks, and you cannot have a vessel cloud before consume finishes and you just die to this. i guess he has a dropship. maybe if he kills every drone at the main and nat he can win? 10:18 ok, ssak, what are we gonna do with 3 dropships, you're literally dying to lurkers right now. 3 dropships would leave you with nothing at home rofl. yeah, loads up his entire army right in front of that overlord, so there should be lurkers on top of his raxes in a moment. now he's gotta kill every drone at the main and nat, and the hive, and the defiler mound, and maybe he can sort of extend the game-- wtf, zerg backed off. ok that's weird. still even with going up to 7 rax, marines are basically just useless against 8 lurkers at your choke, so that'll just make more units that are just useless. again, the only thing that extended the game here was tanks, and even then, you're still dead, it just takes a bit longer. 11:43 ok, so... somehow he got in. this is a weird thing about zerg, if you kill the hive AND the defiler mound, zerg basically just can never have another defiler mound, another lair, another hive, and another defiler mound is so expensive and takes so long it'll just never happen, so he DOES have to clean this, but getting that 3rd dropship scourged makes me really doubt he'll be able to kill a hive and a defiler mound before he loses this. 12:01 ok. and it's cleaned, and ssak can safely leave the game now against a 4 base Z that's literally about to get dark swarm and lurkers on top of production. AND SSAK HAS HAD ENOUGH! GG, thanks RT! definitely seeing terrans desperate to end games now and what it's doing to them, it's a tough one atm.

".. what you do is don't suicide your army all here". 😁

[@thuperman5228]

What went wrong: did not nuke

[@Shield_Battery]

I love Ssak's playstyle, it's just his micro isn't quick enough to really get him the wins vs the macro grinders. I'd probably describe it as defensive, UNIT EFFICIENT playstyle, whether it's through unit tech power windows, or intelligent, effective siege positionings.

[@TooMuchToCareAbout2]

Apparently everything....

[@cooleosis1]

i like all the dropship play from terrans. borrowing from sc2 where medevacs are king

[@TheChaosNova]

Ssak is the terran Zelot. very aggressive.

[@P1ankt0nb0y]

So in other words you wish you were sSak? The suicide into lurkers looks to me like frustration that he'd been successfully slowed down/distracted going accross the map. 2 seconds earlier and the natural is dead.

[@feelsokayman5656]

the GOAT

[@ElBrujoPendra]

He should've atacked his defenseless expansion. it's difficult to catch mutas on the move, but atacking the hatchery makes them defend head on. The other option (main with sunken and lurkers)...was always a no-no

[@darkswarm13]

bruh that was funny asf sock got clapped smh

[@Kei_0001]

Those dropships would never sneak out like that if the mutas were on patrol. Why do top players never use patrol?

[@counterpoints_]

7:25 so is this intricacy actually a result of prioritizing scv productions over comsat?

[@robertoromerro]

Alright so this is a little bit trashy. Mutalisks are not firing that far the Glaves as their lenght in consideration would allow them stacking even 8 on top of eachother. There realy should have a stacking limitation and likewise with burrows, and its like they come out of burrow one at a time.

[@SashkoBljad]

do more wraith builds please

[@SiegAgus]

Morning toilet bros, unite 🚽

[@ErkiEntveg]

Why not just couple tanks add there?

[@wargumbyx]

one of the main problems people have with sk terran is that they want to make 2 vessels the entire game and then lose because vessels dont work. but vessels need to be treated almost like queens against mech. a vessel needs to irradiate 2 of any combination of lurker/defiler to have paid for itself. so they need to continuously make vessels to force it to be ultralisks instead of lurker defiler because that spends too much gas to make mass defiler with it and mines do very well against ultras. they are not really a counter but they do well making up the damage marines lose on ultralisk armor

[@EebstertheGreat]

SK Terran is practically defined by constant two-port vessels. This game never even made it to that stage because he went for a desperate drop, failed, went for an even more desperate drop, and failed again. But it wouldn't have played out that way if ssak hadn't already suicided his whole army and failed to kill a single lurker or muta.

[@wargumbyx]

@@EebstertheGreat gotta read what was written not just scan for keywords to trigger what you want to say

[@dj_koen1265]

@@wargumbyx your original comment just doesnt make a lot of sense, you act like terrans dont continuously make vessels but they do

[@wargumbyx]

@@dj_koen1265 again you are one of many people who confuse the statement "i cant comprehend what you are saying and it is 100% my own brains fault" with "what you said does not make sense" i have watched many many games of terrans playing sk terran and it doesnt matter who it is flash, light, scan, rush, speed they always make a few vessels 2-4 maybe replace a couple that die but they stop 99% of the time at 4. if you read what i said which does make sense, you just cant comprehend it. they need to treat it like making queens against mech. when you see a zerg player go queens against mech they make 8-12 queens to make sure they can brood almost every tank that was made. i am fine with 2-4 vessels roaming but there needs to be more constantly rallying from the terran base till your accumulation of vessels forces can irradiate every single defiler that comes out before it can leave the base (figuratively). you cant stop on 2-4 because that can be killed and then the new ones might have enough for 1 irradiate which makes you fall behind in killing defilers and lurkers and then you lose. constantly killing the defilers even if a vessel gets 2 irradiates and then dies means they wont have defilers to sit on as they go into ultras or they have to continuously make defilers to try and reach that point because defilers are very expensive for how fragile they are
