StarCraft 1: AMAZING, MUST WATCH TVZ!! - ZeLoT vs Ample | CNSL 5

[@skeptic9991]

Craziest TvZ I've ever seen. Ample must be kicking himself over the few crucial mistakes he made during that base trade.

[@ShavedRaccoon]

my god! crazy game, these crazy zerg strats lately are amazing!

[@user-knhgvg454g]

Shut up

[@Winnetou17]

ZeLoT is my spirit animal! This game was so close, but in the end, the fewer mistakes won.

[@seraphimconcordant]

Ample not realizing the temples were being taken down was a huge mistake. Likewise with right-clicking on the natural in the bottom left. And again with only having a single marine in the bottom right so he barely had any defense against the lings on the map. And I forgot about the biggest mistake of all. Sending the wraith on a suicide mission to kill a single overlord and just forgetting about it. When it could have literally won him the game had he just tucked it away in the corner and forgotten about it instead. Crazy.

[@kellereclub3828]

I've noticed something strange like this too. in the early game when there are so few stuff in the game, their APM is so high. So when it got to that stalemate stage after the base trade, when many stuff died off, you'd think that having less stuff on the map allows them to focus more of their attention... but that's not the case from what I've observed. There is an attention dip that I can't explain.

[@chuckwalla123]

@@kellereclub3828 I don’t think it is an attention dip. If you’ve ever played a game competitively you know that a ton of the game is like riding a bike - you just have to know exactly what you will do in advance. Even pro gamers can look like newbies when they are in new or uncommon situations. That is almost always when the biggest flubs occur.

[@kellereclub3828]

@@chuckwalla123 Speaking of competitive play - I also noticed that they tend to be technical. Like you said, knowing what to do in advance like practising 10-year series exams questions. Technical meaning they do the same set of things in order like clockwork and do them especially well. I noticed that because of this, they run like a script and possibly due to pressure can't think outside or see the bigger picture or longer term that an outside observer could.

[@nibernator]

​@@kellereclub3828 The lowering of APM is not necessarily a bad thing. It Could mean that they are totally lost and feeling defeated, but a large part is literally just trying to fully grasp what is going on. At those points there are so many variables and stuff all over the map that they are essentially like a medic in a battle doing a triage, trying to stem the bleed and take actions as fast as they can. Yeah, and like you said, how well they can see through the pressure is especially critical here.

[@InvalidCola]

I also think the Valkyries where very underused. He could have killed the low hp overlord and also sent them around the map to scout for other overlords, effectively supply blocking Zerg much more.

[@stefanc4520]

Zealot was just in too many places at once and it overwhelmed Ample

[@xiaominsong]

Agree, I also think Ample's micro is not at the same level of beast. Or maybe he is in shock of this game :)

[@amauta5]

The wraith… the marines focusing on the hatch, damn, he had the game

[@xiaominsong]

Ample needs higher APM :(

[@FlymanMS]

What a crazy game! Haven’t been that engaged ever before.

[@russcabrera440]

Damn crazy! Haha! I was on edge for this game. Love how both of them played!

[@AqoCyrale]

what a game. thanks for casting! your commentary was very fun to watch, love the passion and sharing all the detail about the builds and stuff like the temple shadow

[@quanang8816]

definitely a must watch

[@kirktown2046]

Great match, this sort of game is exactly what made brood war so awesome in the first place, and this was incredibly tight and high level.

[@steveblock3882]

the vulture to micro against the lings broke artosis' brain lol 😂 @ 16:31

[@xiaominsong]

For me, Ample's micro is not at the same level of beast.

[@woelfingskund]

this one reminds me on my low level ranked games xD GG to the players and big THANKS to the caster!

[@secondjoint]

Wow the most intense game I seen in years!

[@qawqaw1481]

love the energy you brought to the game artertoristits

[@oredaze]

This is like one of the best games ever...

[@moralessanchezoscarelias6412]

Amazing game! So much chaos the players can't keep up with everything that's happening!

[@sanmarzano3547]

This game was sick. Glad you tweeted out that it was a banger. Would love a tweet or community post with the best game of the week or games of the month that were especially great

[@federicotarroni2335]

It has been a pleasure to see so many high level TvZ, my favourite match up, thanks Artosis for these videos.

[@leoguimarey8938]

Holy crap, GAME OF THE YEAR !!!

[@hawffensive644]

For everyone asking about the DRAW - No, Ample could not force the draw here ZeLoT had a hatchery making. Solutions he had: -Build an evo and spore colony to protect overlords spawning -Mine until he can spam out hatcheries as hatcheries give 1 supply. He could kill off units to make this faster.

[@user-knhgvg454g]

No one asked 😔

[@sYnchr0_]

What a nail biter of a game. That was insane.

[@ruludos1977]

a nailbiter to the end, phenomenal stuff

[@grouchomcgrouch4150]

we trudged through the desert of ZvZ's to get to this oasis

[@arcepasm]

I gotta sat it. This is the best game I've seen in my life xDD

[@CouveTJ]

Wow!!! What an absolutely BONKERS game!

[@allanwold996]

Awesome! What was the Brood War Discord with different Build orders you mentioned on ASL?

[@Lovedontmix]

Omg what a game!! GG, my heart was pounding! So why did we not use valks forever? I recall they used to be glitched where only a certain amount of attacks could be stacked o the screen or something. Does anyone recall the exact reason? Also valks make vs mutas so much easier now. 2 valks just crush, and if u can get up to 3, its so op. Crazy we finally have a decent unit after 20 years lol

[@twp8562]

You essentially have it right, but technically it had to do with sprites displayed, and the Valkyrie producing an absurd amount of individual sprites. Plus, the slide/glide micro with the valks, which allow them to shoot and move backwards towards their bio, is a more recent development I believe. I don't know if this is due to the new turn rate or not, someone else will have to speak on that.

[@invisiblemenproduction]

Woaw dude, love these type of games!!

[@CoqPwner]

Crazy game, but man the throws by Ample. You just know he must have been in a completely panicked state. So many critical blunders

[@mihailyanchev1905]

One of the best pro games I’ve seen in a while. As others also pointed out taking out the remaining overlords early on could have been key for ample.

[@gordontubbs]

This was an absolute nail-biter.

[@zeddpilsner4]

Wow that was one of the best games I've seen

[@thedestroyerofhats]

I must comment so that the algorithm understands how cool that was.

[@Larsgman]

16:20 LIVE FEED OF ARTY GETTING HYPE

[@christianveilleux6378]

Crazy bastard. Im not alone.

[@racmexgdl2024]

Hi Artosis, I Like your casts a lot. I was thinking about the audio quality u got, cause its pretty good is it only your micro? and what brand do u use? can u share your specs? I want to use it for my meetings as home office... THx

[@shawnl1155]

Wow! That was an amazing game!

[@WickedServantEbay]

you know to ignore the scammer right

[@S3N4T3]

Amazing game. GG to both players.

[@Reruro]

Man I was on the edge of my seat for that entire game, losing that Wraith!!! Ahhhhhhhh!!

[@LordMephilis]

A nice, brutal slug match, I live it.

[@nathanmccarthy6209]

oh wow that was so worth the wait mwah

[@josemonge4604]

He did the same on the past game. He didn't use the valks to finish off the overlords.

[@MindlessTurtle]

That was sick. Good game.

[@kevinfitch8542]

Yo, this one was nuts!

[@Nathan1el]

This game was a level above, you should've made a special face for this one RT, let the people know!

[@F10F11hm]

Soo many small mistakes from Ample, unfortunately. Losing units, not being active enough with others. It all added up. Still, that Muta contain to Lurker transition is sooo strong. How does one stop this?

[@Appletank8]

Historically Valkyries didn’t get used often because if you guessed Mutas and Zerg makes Lurkers, you’re screwed. Meanwhile, Vessels work against both Mutas and Lurkers. So it seems that Terran might need to go back to surviving long enough to get Vessels and Irradiate.

[@sulik682]

Wow Artosis creaming his jeans the whole last 5 minutes Great cast, great game!

[@imn1ppystr]

crazy game

[@InvalidCola]

Great game! I would say the Terran had ample opportunity to win this one however.

[@AlejandroSanchez-ls4hh]

Shit... I think that not killing that almost-dead overlord, the forgotten wraith that died and those marines targeting the hatch and diying to the lings, were big mistakes that made a huge differencce in the game.

[@deco90]

GG like it truly was crazy 🤣

[@briancorbett3600]

that was sick.

[@kingdweeb5065]

Insane game

[@charlescook5542]

I remember seeing a game like this where light base traded some zerg and won by making wraith haha what a rare type of game.

[@coolblade23]

best game of sc1 i have ever seen

[@mattfox5933]

That was nuts

[@TheHealadin]

Can somebody explain to me why the micro seems soooooooo much worse than in SC2? You almost never see what I think are glaring mistakes in micro like with the wraith, marines on the natural hatch, etc.

[@mikek1402]

loved this game, go zerg!

[@DerpHerper]

No idea how you beat ZeLoT's muta/hydra. Having the ability to tech into Guardian or Lurker to bust is just so strong. Maybe it's Goliath build?

[@user-knhgvg454g]

Does artowua actually not know how to micro Valkyrie?

[@StriKe_jk]

I'm so glad terran didnt win despite their numerous advantages in low eco basetrade situations. Although that is mostly because that terran screwed it up on so many levels its incredible.

[@michaelbird9148]

Awesome game! Some good ideas by Ample, but overall better execution by Zealot. It must be so hard to switch from a normal game - doing a ton of stuff at once - to really focusing on key units in a base trade. Those crucial mistakes by Ample hurt. Awesome game, though!

[@Toastiaa]

Fire content brood war forever

[@tkay42]

What a nailbiter!

[@SirWtfcharles]

Sick game

[@CheatoVox]

Amazing game!

[@Chamuzi]

Great game!

[@Jose-xm3tq]

whata game. dam GGs!!!!

[@wkkleric]

killin it, arty mcartstein

[@liveandjaphappy]

Are there ties in these tournaments? I think neither player could finish each other off if ample kept supply blocking zerg

[@kingdweeb5065]

Spoilers! Zelot can make an evo chamber a creep colony and a spore to stop supply blocks, and had killed ample completely except some flying buildings potentially

[@secondjoint]

@@kingdweeb5065 when zelot lost the last hatch if he didn’t save up enough minerals to remake it would be a draw

[@jinhopark9388]

Amazing game, so many mistakes made by Ample but can't blame him with so many things going on at once...

[@mohikanerluchs]

Am I the only one reading "Crazy Bastard" in the thumbnail?!?

[@youngyt]

omfg, best game ever!

[@mikumikuiyada]

can someone explain why zerg won the last match? he has no anti air and has 0 supply. he can build zero anti air

[@EebstertheGreat]

He can make an evo and a spore. The only air unit on the map was a valkyrie, and Ample had no way to mine.

[@Winnetou17]

He didn't had 0 supply. He had drones and a hatchery in the making. Which means that he could've built spore colonies.

[@mrmatheschmitt1921]

good one

[@JohnSmith-rr8hp]

Zerg really needs a buff here, those valks do too much damage to mutas, mutas need to have 2 more armor to balance up the game.

[@ながれる季節]

FUCKING BEAUTIFUL.

[@Zraknul]

Great game

[@undertakr]

starcraft 1 still the best RTS game

[@supanova7286]

Could Ample have drawn that?

[@EebstertheGreat]

I don't think Ample had any way to stop ZeLoT from mining, so in the worst case, ZeLoT could just make a spore to protect his overlords.

[@atypewriter]

only if he killed the hatchery before ZeLoT had enough minerals to make a new one

[@ChRicke-rt9hy]

Backseat gaming in the comments is insane. Guys you have no clue. Great cast as always Arti!

[@Xcenttric]

Sheeeeesh what a sick game LMAO

[@Tyler-qh9jm]

I think it was pretty obvious zerg won the moment those lurkers started morphing

[@attention_shopping]

so sad but deserved. Z played that way better and was super winnable for T. always wondered about doing the base trade when Z goes lurkers

[@xiaominsong]

Ample is not in the mood, he missed micro a lot...

[@superdahoho]

what a careless mistake to lose that wraith

[@7thquark309]

too many errors from Ample but that made the game really entertaining

[@radivel1]

Ample blew that one. He had him, but he lost that wraith for nothing.

[@RickJankowski92]

wow amazing

[@tlint]

Arty was right, losing that wraith completely flipped game outcome

[@Mathos93]

ZELOT MA BOI

[@MichaelMantion]

if he didn't lose the wraith... crazy. I love games that don't go above 50 supply.

[@NateAlmeida]

Huge throw by Ample. Yikes.

[@EMP3rr0R]

Ample throwing the game hard…

[@BlGDaddyRob]

Its funny to hear the difference between how artosis treats the 3 races. Imagine if he was zerg and playing a guy on the ladder with this terran build. "IF I BUILD LURKERS HE JUST LOSES! JUST FLAT OUT LOSES! FLIPPING COINS ALL DAY BULLSHIT TERRAN MY OVERLORDS CANT SCOUT ONCE HE GETS MARINES BUT HE CAN SCAN ANYTHING!"

[@timurk.2357]

cause he lost that wraith- temples was destroyed. That was a lose moment

[@sleeper1855]

ZELOTTTTTTTTTT FIGHTIIIIIIIIIIING

[@JurisKankalis]

What an absolute scrapfest. This was as far as possible from late-game tech - none of the players even dreamed about ultras, underground di... sorry, defilers or BCs, yet the game was possibly more exciting. What a game.

[@ericjepson3765]

Nutty.

[@chriswheeler9130]

The game ended when that wraith died. Huge mistake
