Invisible Men.

[@basimaziz]

Dude, the 5 DT's to clear out the base... Followed by corsairs cutting off EVERY overlord coming over for detection. My goodness, that was JUICY.

[@arivald6677]

This skirnish show beautifully how flavourfull Starcraft can be. Zerg reproduce so much quicker and produce a lot of troops, meanwhile Protoss got tricks and attacks the weak point of enemy army. Both players were equally matched and one mistake from either of them was gonna end the melee.

[@lucasbritoarruda]

That's exactly what makes this game incomparable…

[@IfNedWereHere]

Wow this game is one of the best you’ve shared with us yet Arty. Definitely a highlight reel episode

[@fencserx9423]

That was an absolutely incredible game

[@martinbalke1843]

You can 100% tell that Flash and Rain are talking about Protoss together. The last time I saw someone use their corsairs like this was Flash playing off-race vs Soulkey and he bodied him in pretty much the same fashion. Ever since I saw that game I have wondered why Protoss don't harass so heavily like that and BAM Rain comes in with this play.

[@lesna_pechalba]

Feels like Calm was titled as hell after first time he failed to kill Rain. Couldve made a spore for safety.

[@zekehartley326]

I want to see how many overlord kills those corsairs got

[@TTduckTT]

Incredible back and forth. I thought it was over at several points but amazing rally back.

[@karpai5427]

Corsairs + Dark templars is Raszagal's favorite combo.

[@Winnetou17]

Ha, good point!

[@FlymanMS]

Rain is crazy inventive and capable, what an insane game.

[@Materialist39]

Calm and Rain are in that tier of “could just randomly make bo4 / finals in asl” at any given time, a beautiful matchup between two of the best to ever do it.

[@AsmongoldvsArtosisclips]

No. Cslm is not in same lague as rain

[@sti8116]

He's massively over made overlords! thirty seconds later Calm is supply blocked again.

[@sommigame]

It is amazing that a game is being still discovered at this age can still be so fun to watch

[@DjAtmaWeapon]

Man, the hell was that game, so much surprise, unbelievable sincerly

[@Girthbrooks715]

Amazing how a match that was consistently under 100 supply could be so good

Great game with OG colours. Amazing.

Why didn't he just build like one spore and park his overlords there until he could sort out the corsair situation?

absolutely sick game.

those storms were crucial

Nobody could win from that spot but rain. Fcking if didnt get so much money from variety stream wed have protoss bonjwa 100%. MOST INSANE COMEBACK

[@wraith_wr]

Corsairs ftw. :D

[@wahoobeans]

Zerg should have just invested in a few spore colonies to deter Corsairs diving on the overlords.

[@VenomousStare]

14:00 SC equivalent of D-Rose driving to the rack

[@yyyy-uv3po]

That was absurd. It was an even better Corsairs play than Bisu himself. Calm must be reconsidering his life right now.

[@skyvipers]

Yo imagine having 6 Corsairs with Disruption Web when a horde of Hydralisks roll up on your base of cannons.

[@mickcraftgaming]

StarCraft is such a cool game. Overlords allow the Zerg to start the game with detection, but they are also the source of their supply - losing them in battle can be devastating. It's amazing what Blizzard pulled off in 1998 - glad this game is still alive and kicking!

[@sdudigumi]

This was so enjoyable to watch and Im not even a big ZvP enjoyer

Phenomenal game, the execution on that Corsair play was so perfect

[@gavinator354]

absolutely moronic that he keeps clumping his overlords. send 4 or 5 lords to the upper right corner of the map ffs!

[@trumpisbackboi]

9:38 A huge amount of corsair yes :P

[@MentalNewb]

Wow! Those DTs were clutch!

[@mattthemaddogdollar]

When protoss builds mass corsairs, I think the only counter is to build lots of spore colonies and play defense until the midgame.

[@TheInverseable]

Or really like just 2

[@john-ic9vj]

I was hoping to see this continue for a little longer

[@lagmaster102]

those overlords running away in clumps... protoss wet dream right there

[@Cormalek]

This game reminds me of Episode 3: Homeland mission from original campaign :D Yet again a wonderful pick of replay.

[@Ninja-wj8on]

Rain lost 3 probes.

[@joshuanorthey2026]

Indeed

[@flappy7373]

every single time a protoss goes 2gate corsair i think, "look at all that energy on those sairs.. that's so many disruption webs. i wonder...." It would cost 500/400 to get the beacon and research. it seems totally plausible that it could be worth it, especially if you've got a group of 8-12 sairs already. it would make the zerg have to deal with it carefully, and that seems worthwhile to me. it'd be a gigantic help in holding off a hydra bust for *MINUTES*, it'd make diving on overlords way easier, it'd help in sniping 4th bases, it'd make lurker contains a bit softer.. it'd take 15 seconds of utility away from dark swarm.. and most importantly, it's a really cool looking spell that's fun to watch. it just sounds so good to me. i wonder if it has been tried lately?

[@aptwo916]

I love this kind of play, really fun to watch than your usual standard usual safe build.

Are you effen kidding me? Rain 💪🏻. So many other people would GGed right after that first hydra horde. The intelligence and micro was as good as it gets

Because then the hydras have no detection against dark templar

I can't belive you didn't see the kill count on those corsair at the end of the game. You just group selected them over and over again and didn't click on a single sair not even once. Now I gotta go and dl the replay, thanks Arty.

[@hex_gekko29568]

would have been cheaper to invest in some spore colonies to protect the overlords at home at least.

[@luismolina8453]

Given that quantity of corsairs, is it worth research disruption web? I mean when u defend against hidralisk rush

[@mayalabo3906]

what a beautiful match~

[@Lappmogel]

I wonder how it would look with web. Like what could zerg even do at that point? Just flying in, throwing down 8 webs, skirting around, sniping the overlords. Not to mention that web would allow dt's to close to gap even if there was detection. Also just web + storm against hydras in general. Hard to execute for sure. But OP if you could pull it off.

[@nemou4985]

[@blooddumpster3427]

That was an awesome comeback

[@deatlilies7927]

Very brainy play from Rain. It reminds of some of the fundamentals day9 talked about in his "lets learn starcraft" series. The zerg effectively concedes the air game hoping to bowl over the protoss with a ground army with this mass hydra strategy but if they can't secure the kill there is room for counterplay from the protoss by doing hit and runs on the overlords. Hydras are great against corsairs but the problem is catching them that's why the air arms race meta is a thing because when a protoss has tight control like we see from rain they can keep enough corsairs up that a scourge switch is futile. I do wonder if calm could have survived if he pulled back but both players had such aggressive postures all game it's hard to imagine this going long. Rain felt pressured to attack because his corsairs become useless if he lets Calm recover and build air and Calm seemed to want to force a fight to kill the corsairs or kill rain outright. Great game.

[@Zraknul]

He definitely rained on calm's parade and left him angry.

[@LuichoX203]
