I met Arty in Krakow in like 2015, before Remastered was even announced. I asked him and Tasteless about the possibility of casting BW, since it was all SC2 - and their eyes SPARKED. They said that they would love to when given chance. 8 years later, here we are. Thank YOU Arty for your commitment to this beautiful game.

[@Hachimaro]

I concur. BW might very well be the best game ever made, and Arty is the king of its casters. Thank you for your commitment.

[@shimeluchin]

arty with sparkling eyes . I m scared, dude

[@neuromancer845]

This story gave me chills.

[@adriangenov586]

best game ever brood war thanks Artosisssssssss

[@Mancubus45]

Dude this game had SO MUCH! Two marine pressure, mutas vs valks and marines, a mech switch, mass queens... the whole time being on a razor's edge.

[@TheSuperappelflap]

Was Lights game to throw after those two marines and he did by giving away 2 valks for free for no reason. Not really a razor edge the whole game.

[@FriedChckn13]

Wow that was insane. I thought for sure the game was over when Light lost the bottom left. And then again when his army basically got wiped when he went cross map to the mineral-only.

[@stefanc4520]

In that JyJ game you're referring to he also had EMP alongside the Gols to zone the Queen's out. Also Zelots refusal to get Defilers on 8 base is nuts!

[@fartbox3987]

Hey! Nerds! Artosis is back. Watch Artosis!

[@Tungar111-mv2hw]

Aggressive zerg vs Macro terran is my favorite matchup. It feels like how each race should play not just game wise but lore wise. Terran trying to establish a base of operations and hold the line against a mindless fearless swarm that slowly eats away at them.

[@Szgerle]

And then sometimes they just suddenly deliver a knockout blow on the zerg out of nothing

[@robertovonschoettler]

Glad Arty moved to Canada. I can see the sorries kicking in ❤

[@Skybert88]

Hey Arty, been a long time watcher of these casts. This has been part of my daily routine for the last few weeks. I love these casts. Thank you for doing these! I also really love the insight you sometimes do at the end where you showcase the parts where the actions they took decides the game, so keep doing that!

[@dangerfield6855]

Artosis: *cough* sorry guys, I'm still a little sick! Sick casts!

[@FlymanMS]

Clean game from both players! Very enjoyable match with battles and troop movements all over the map.

[@nneddenn6207]

Wow, amazing back and forth game! Was sure Terran will crumble in face of 14+ queens, but he adapted and managed to prevail

[@ethanmelby2405]

Your casts are always awesome! Thank you for making content, you are a StarCraft legend!

[@AuelReiuji]

This is the kind of game you want to show someone asking about Starcraft! Great stuff, thanks for casting.

[@canabitter]

Glad to see you back. It was hard to get by without my daily fix of Starcraft

[@oldscoolest]

A game of mass Queens casted by our King ❤️❤️❤️

[@MattLyte]

glad to hear you're getting better thank you for your commitment!

[@DaMnUFo0]

Thank you for the great content as always.

[@skoziss]

i have to watch everything, keep em comin arty

[@LockWithNoKeys]

Happy you’re feeling better!! 😊🎉 glad you’re back

[@dampiere]

Loving these games and your casts RT. Welcome back.

[@MatildaHinanawi]

Such a great game! Thanks for casting

[@szebike]

Awesome game glad to have you back sir. Health always comes first, don't feel pressured by anything.

[@jacksonjstewart]

Prepping for ASL with ladder games same match up is the career dedication that gets us behind the scenes thank you!

[@AlexanderEddy]

Great map, awesome game! Glad you're feeling better Artosis, welcome back!

[@arthurp.4272]

Thanks for the great content !

[@sebbie_gonzo]

Awesome match!!

[@janewoolnercleaner3204]

glad ur back and feeling better!

[@TKGameGuy]

Welcome back to the action!

[@buneuocheng678]

What a long 30 min game! It was fun and challenging to watch. As we can see, both sides are very good players. Mass queen, wow. This game is awesome!

[@tylocrocket6111]

This game was fantastic. ASL is gonna be hype!

[@tachometr]

@ArtosisCasts: Btw, during the cast you missed on special thing. Zelot in fact did go for something agressive - his opening was 9h 9p. But being cross spawn it prohibited him from going some kind of liing agression. And I also think the marine moveout could have been related to this fact. Otherwise awesome game and cast! Thanks!

[@adriangenov586]

awesome just pure beauty thanks

[@2slick4u.]

BEAST MODE !!! Both side played with amazing mastery !

[@danklaw4611]

Artosis Casts is back!

[@darkranger116]

wow that was amazing

[@hdwill]

Can't wait for season 17!

[@Radii_DC]

Every time Arty has chills Im getting contact chills

[@ottomann4846]

Welcome back Artosis!

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

This was the first Starcraft 1 game I ever watched casted. Been watching Starcraft 2 for a decade now, just never got into the original. To think that a game that hasn't been updated in 25 years still has creativity and problem solving going on and new metas being discovered....

[@nifarious]

Queens vs mech, always exciting

[@TuEIite]

Great game, well done RT.

[@blazewarTV]

Im here one more day. Thakns arty

[@michaelschupska2047]

ASL SOON BRO!!!!! TEN MORE DAYS LET'S GO

[@hackerj23]

Wow what a game!

[@Fanelan053]

Nice to see some late game action from zealot!!

[@ComeGetYourKnives]

Energy Upgrades actually don't apply the bonus UNLESS the unit is started AFTER the upgrade finishes. If the upgrade finishes while units are currently being produced, they will come out with the normal 50. It's great to have you back, days weren't complete without the casts.

[@felipediazflores1151]

At this point.... if you're losing half your Queens bc you can't get to the tanks..... maybe is better to just broodling the goliaths at the edge?? .... I know it's not optimal... but at least you won't lose your Queen?... and probably you'll get an extra Goliath kill or two bc of SIege tanks friendly fire sometimes?..... I'm really asking bc I don't know. Seems like it could be the case for this game, is it not?

[@noahbaker-kang5148]

If he had used broodlings on Goliaths light would have killed him immediately. Mass tank with a few goliaths beats hydra-lurker super easily as we saw. Hydras fight goliaths, queens fight tanks.

[@rareroe305]

Damn fine game, sir!

[@moonasha]

if that's the type of games we're going to get at ASL I'm excited

[@TheConv]

Vulkires gettin f'ed up 😂 "cough cough, excuse me" come on arty!!!!

[@DarkDramon]

Awesome match.

[@williamtweed9011]

Always love seeing mech vs Zerg

[@briancorbett3600]

I'm so psyched for this ASL season. I know this is a TvZ, but I am really hoping Snow takes it all. He looks unstoppable in recent games

[@elchinolatino15]

Insane game

[@flappy7373]

tryin' ta be helpful for the algorithm or summin' with muh commentin' thx arty fer makin all dem vidyas!

[@peterstoiber2074]

@RT I think the early harassment is definitely a thing to copy for week players too. With his scouting scv he could get sure, that no lings were made due to the mass drones in the base and avoiding to kill the first scouting ling with his 2 marines should be the attraction for every player in the game.

[@LORFCASTER]

GG !

[@anthonyc719]

That’s was something I always wondered about. My feeling was that a cannon rush that was executed that well couldn’t be stopped. I was wrong. I honestly don’t know if Best could’ve done it better and still Action kept his hatchery

[@fujitofusan]

wow terran was running the show that you thought at some point was gonna go down

[@sleeper1855]

I think against heavy goliath, no vulture type mech zerg also needs to go dark swarm so the hydras can fight for a bit longer

[@MrLecksy]

what a crazy beaytiful zerg game! Feel the swarm!

[@MeteCanKarahasan]

The new jungle maps are impressive.

[@odoacredacalcutta5085]

honestly speaking I think this was a game played just for the sake of practice. There is no way Zelot being on 6-7 gases doesn't build a single defiler all game. He also splattered himself attacking when he really didn't need to, being up a full 3 bases at one point.

[@tohothewriter8002]

Are valks too gas intensive to add in vultureless-mech against mass queen? Or the priority for science vessels is justified by their spells?

[@Zeolot22]

Vessels are just better, Valk's big benefit is their ability to deal with clumps of air units, and Queens do not clump up especially when they get their spawn broodlings command. A queen can move in, spawn, and move out before a valk kills them. Vessels can emp, d-matrix, irradiate and detect, which gives them an immense amount of utility. Just doesn't make sense to burn production time on Valks lategame (unless you expect a muta switch)

[@abstractdaddy1384]

It's not about the gas (vessels cost a lot more). It's about the usage of the starports. Valkyries lose a lot of their value when mutas aren't being made anymore. Vessels are just much more versatile.

[@HDHUSKYISCOOL]

CHILLS TASTELESS CHILLS

[@ModusOperandi2009]

Just want to point out that Zelot's build was 9 hatch, 9 overlord, 9 pool. Maybe to combat 8 rax?

[@robertgaudet7407]

It's apparently in vogue vs Terran.

[@guitarFAIL]

Mario chomped down onto Luigi's ana

[@uTubeismyTivo]

nice to see queens but really threw away so many hydras, could've added in some lings when there were no vultures too

[@Narge.]

12:15 Do you think that a pro player can distinguish which valk the scourge are following just by the movements and snipe them by splitting another valk from the group?

[@JCMiniPainting]

This was a really fun watch. Thanks for the cast Arty! On a slightly tangential question, do Zerg ever use Devourers? I feel like I've never seen them in modern sc comp, but I avoid zvz so maybe that's why? Is the unit bad?

[@ObeliskM]

Sometimes they are used vs carriers

[@cyberneticdex69]

❤ nice

[@arbaces]

chills @ 18:51

[@Matthew-uv6gl]

Getting hype for ASL. I don't even watch SC2 any longer, but can't get enough of BW 😁

[@abstractdaddy1384]

Awesome game

[@exisferis666]

Liking the video Leaving a comment

[@MaxGoedecke]

That is the 1st game where I see a Mech Terran win in this ASL pro gamer setting... maybe the Irradiate was actually a really good choice over EMPing, he constantly reduced the Queens by that

[@TheBiblicalLiberal]

Hey Artosis. Commenting because you told me lol. But just a suggestion of what I want to see. How about casting some of your ladder matches every now and then? Thanks.

[@justingagnier2871]

Would a full group of valkyrie not be the solution to mass queens??

[@skundini4999]

Weirdest thing, I do not remember Queens from SC1 at all and I played this game day 1

[@nicksterba]

This was a super interesting match. The map is different from what we usually see, and the unit combination for Light at the start was so cool, came out with everything basically. Really well played on both sides.

[@slahblah]

Are ultras bad vs mech?

[@SonofTiamat]

Amateurs do strategy; professionals do logistics.

[@GenoGar]

He parasited some of the tanks, but I didn't see if he parasited the vessels.

[@jdubs6959]

Love your shit

[@lordbelx9483]

i dont even play starcraft so excuse my ignorance, why aren't valkyrie used as counter to queens?

[@ghin780]

They don't fire fast enough.

[@thf1933]

Get better. Cool game!

[@XtReMz98]

Guess who’s back? Back again? Tosis back! Tell a friend!

[@shawn12343]

Where were the defillers....

[@TheSuperappelflap]

Why would you throw your first 2 valks like that lol

[@TurboThunderGaming]

Queens just deleting armies are so beautiful!

[@Supernatpy]

Strange that terran stopped producing valks. 6-7 of them could be the end of the queens menace

[@jirihutecka9020]

I wish there would be more switch to mech in macro games. Vults with mines, tanks are very strong vs ling, defiler, lulker...

[@seephisd]

Flying queens? I'm missing something

[@somecooney5304]

we never left

[@kkahakusan5591]

@artosiscasts Get some water/tea while casting; helps throat lots (:

[@samsparkle1658]

How to be a great terran in scbw?

[@joebazooks]

zelot has to be one of if not the most entertaining player to watch

[@FelipeMedina-yz5pw]

Artosis, don't apologise for coughing, mate. It isn't rude or whatsoever 🤘

[@St33s]

I don't think this was such great game. ZeLot got real lazy the last 10 minutes. just throwing away his armies for peanuts. Anyway nice cast, love the channel!

[@cricrinho]

HI Artosis. Thank you so much for all your casts. Absolutely love them. I have one suggestion. If you have the answer to that question, it would be nice if you tell us at the begining of the match if the players know who they are playing against. As so many pros use code bar names. It would help understanding some of the choices. Like you said on this one that Light knows he plays against Zealot etc... But does he ? Are we sure ? :). Thanks again and keep up the good work.

[@matrix3509]

I wonder if the Zerg should instead just broodling the goliaths when they are screening for the tanks that hard. Maybe once the goliath count is reduced you can hydra bomb the tanks with overlord drops like Protoss does with zealots? IDK. Seems like ZeLoT in this game just ran his queens face first into the goliaths multiple times. He still got value out of them, even still.
