Thank-you, Artosis. Next level content.

[@tacticalchunder1207]

The drops are what sealed the game.

[@Garviel_Loken.]

Secondary were not necessary though. These lurkers would slow down that toss push and make that final engagements less dangerous for zerg

[@topshothotshot666]

That's a scary looking Zerg.

[@xKharrneX]

I'm a simple man, I see Zelot, I like

[@Adam-go7cz]

SAME, Zelot is my total favourite player to watch

[@gasstationpeanuts1814]

@@Adam-go7cz I'm a sucker for very aggressive Zerg players.

[@YoungGandalf2325]

7:43 That's a lot of hydras! It's too bad psi storm wasn't ready.

[@AqoCyrale]

Z was scouting the templars archive at the edge of his overlord's vision and purposely moved in to attack with the hydras at the last moment that the storm wouldn't be ready on time

[@BlazingGlaceon]

That was intense. I'm impressed Geumchi held for as long as he did, and that was a very valiant effort to try and turn the tide at the end but the Swarm was just too strong.

[@nooneinparticular3370]

I love aggressive play from Zerg, it goes so well with the lore of them being a relentless deluge!

[@George_Rambo]

GuemChi is gonna remember this game just like Luigi remembers that one time Mario confused his butthole with a question block

[@Fanelan053]

Zeloy is always fun to watch, he does a three hatch Hydra and just does his thing in the face of his opponent and still walks away winning His multitasking is impressive

[@nervaproject]

Not terribly surprising considering how rigged ZvP is for Zerg

[@The_Audiobook_Channel]

This one had me on the edge of my seat! keep em coming, I love starting my day this way.

[@sleeper1855]

Impressive game by ZeloT

[@Ekman36]

From the TTS tierlist to procasts. Arty delivers. Oh.. my... god

[@Garviel_Loken.]

😂

[@bOstik210]

Clutch in your face hydra play. Loved to hear arty wants the channel going forever 🎉

[@raymondrodgers5832]

That hold was a box-art battle!

[@eukarya90]

I always like the commentary about the community or the players at the very beginning of the videos when nothing else is really going on (like how one of your previous ones explained what typical MMR values are for top pros)

[@sylvariatzaka]

Something about protoss making their forge in the front wall and always almost losing their +1 upgrade just seems off to me. There has to be a different way to navigate the early game

[@weevul]

Thanks for bringing me back to Brood War Artosis. Getting on up there in age but maybe one day I'll work up the guts to reinstall and get destroyed in MP

[@MeteCanKarahasan]

Overcoming 0.5 sec in game latency is hard.

Masterful casting

[@LeonRedfields]

I love this style of ZvP

[@Terranarmory]

Thanks for casting arty ❤❤❤

[@Terranarmory]

Remember guys remember when me used first mealstorm ability in the history just ask them arty❤❤❤❤

[@FlymanMS]

That silent lurker drop was such a dramatic turn of events. Seems like Zelot learned something other that frontal aggression.

[@Winnetou17]

ZeLoT is such fun to watch.

[@ssf4evo]

Geumchi never saw the 2nd hatch go down and automatically thought the 3rd hatch going down, was the 2nd. so he was caught by surprised on this 3-hatch play

[@majormononoke8958]

lol, no he was not.

[@ssf4evo]

@@majormononoke8958 yeah he was. watch the shit again

[@lucasbritoarruda]

Wow, what a game!!

[@Terranarmory]

Thanks for casting arty. And anouther thing do you know arty when you want to go mass battle cruisers and protoss player gone mass dark archons. Just dropship vultures man in his main base and kill all of the dark archons!.😎then make battle cruisers if you want that!!

[@LoneCoast]

What does MMR stand for? I'm assuming it's an acronym...

[@bigmikeobama5314]

I want to see you play cat and mouse again xD that was hilarious

[@LokaJohn]

Very interesting match

[@nrednred5524]

Looks tragic for Protoss, almost there but Zerg is relentlessly shredding down the better quality army.

[@Marcel-eg9bz]

Why doesn't toss make a couple cannons on the high ground next to their wall? Not a SC player, just curious.

[@charlescook5542]

They have to prioritize making wall to stop lings. Making cannons on the side won’t help much against hydra bust and every extra cannon you make that you don’t need delays your templars which means zerg lurker contain is even stronger.

[@Kondzino]

Hello , im new. What does kespa era mean?

[@Winnetou17]

It stands for Korean e-Sports Association. In this context it's meant to identify a period, though I'm not sure of the exact date, but I think it's most likely the pre SC2 era. Like 2007-2008 and earlier. Those were the times!

[@FlymanMS]

Kespa was one of the legendary random players🥸😏

[@justinmoonshine3742]

He showed the hydra rush and he knew exactly what the toss had to reply with and had a plan for offense and defense on every play. Crazy

[@GeneralFace86]

Man I love games by zealot. Wp by both!

[@milesg7877]

Great to see a focused zerg attack, no extra lings or mutas with the surpise drops crippling the reinforcement capacity of toss.

[@guccinines1202]

Great game

[@Crud-Stevens]

Cool Beans

[@andrerossel8394]

Lesson for today it's probably not a good idea make a so tight sim city if you don't have a Stargate. Also always leave 2 dragoons on the main .

[@Kinzey]

lurker drops are gg

[@John_Antsiferov]

Artosis! Thank you for your job! Greetings from Russia!

[@xiaominsong]

Damn, they are not at the same level...

[@justincronkright5025]

You can't just sit there, because ZERG goes in an arch. Needed to make zealots at the start and just use them. Have 2 dragoons & a shuttle with another reaver shuttle at the back maybe and just hit overlords. BASE/BASIC defence with just units and cannons just puts too much pressure on a Protoss, and so you need to force a Zerg's play to get messy otherwise somehow he can drone, make units & kill your units, probes & defences whilst taking no damage at home. It's like playing Spanish & being able to fast Castle - Conquistadours, in AoE II.

[@nathanieljenkins3688]

Really enjoyed Terran and Protoss videos. Expecting to enjoy this one to. I’d really love to watch a few games of that #1 Protoss player, seems like he might be an interesting watch.

[@HeatIIEXTEND]

BAN SPOILER THUMBNAILS !

[@Garviel_Loken.]

Wow 😳

[@TagaBearClaw]

gg

[@Ogogghe1]

oh looks, another lurker drop missed by arthosis....

[@RMJ1984]

Any lesser zerg would have lost that game. It purely came down to those lurker drops that destroyed the toss economy.

[@DerpHerper]

It's nuts how good Zelot can be while still not having a chance at winning ASL.

[@sleeper1855]

I bet having a barcode ID really helps ZeloT on ladder - his ultra aggressive style probably doesn't hold up in tournaments as well

[@veidro]

@@sleeper1855 of course, he literally doesn't know how to play a macro game, has zero chance of getting any deep spot in ASL

[@federicogoldberg6563]

Hydras ftw

[@timbuckthe2nd642]

Artosis I’m not one to correct people but you say zealot wrong.

[@Kawencins]

why ZeLoT dont produce zealots ?

[@tacticalchunder1207]

Because he’s playing Zerg…

[@Winnetou17]

Then you wouldn't be able to tell which is him.

[@LaughingDragon17]

zelot the zerg

[@karpai5427]

Seems like zergs rarely win these hydralisk pushes against protoss. I don't like this stratagy. Looks unreliable. At least he killed a bunch of probes. So probably it was worth it. ok I take it back. Very well played. That lurker drop was amazing.

[@thomassteele9649]

Mario took a deep breath, then slowly unbuttoned his overalls...

[@Darktemplars]

Hi...thanks to you for casting artosis and anouther thing...artosis remember when you playing as zerg and you gone mutas and protoss player make 1 dark archon with mealstorm and end the game!!.right?just make 1 zerg queen and ensnare the dark archon then drop some hydras and kill him!!!easy right!!!!!!!❤❤😉😉😉

[@verybigbrain723]

[@user-yc2kj1tc5t]

​@@verybigbrain723he is right

[@Winnetou17]

Why go to the trouble of getting queen AND hydras ? Just throw several ultras at them and it will be toast. Can't maelstrom more than 3 ultras.

[@onprint4868]

zerg wins at the minute 6:50.. 🤷‍♂🤷‍♂

[@hilmsay4134]

Protoss can lose that many probes and still having a solid comeback shows how broken and OP the Protoss race is

[@xxXKogasaWe3dL0rd420Xxx]

Terran is the comeback king. They can be crazy behind then win on 2 base 40 minutes into game

[@tacticalchunder1207]

Except it wasn’t a solid comeback? He was doomed after it.

[@Raz0rIG]

Protoss didn't make a comeback, Zerg doing an aggressive strategy should've put him behind in the first place, so the fact that zerg was still ahead when the rush didn't kill protoss should say something about the risk/reward ratio of zvp. Zerg has all the opportunities to win but no risk to lose if 3 hatch hydra fails. Because you can force probes to defend and whittle protoss' eco negating any advantage they normally should have when going for an aggro strat that fails.

[@hilmsay4134]

@@Raz0rIG no risk to lose if 3 hatch hydra doesn’t work!?? You don’t play the game bro.

[@Raz0rIG]

@@hilmsay4134 I do play the game but your argument from authority has no weight on whether my reasoning is true or not. By your lack of judgment on this game , it seems like you don't know who was really winning. Zerg has the initiative early game until protoss has a sizeable army with storm. So if zerg goes 3 hatch hydra, protoss can't punish zerg until a long time, because cannons are an opportunity cost instead of gateways, By the time 5-6 gateways warp in to mass up the army, zerg can easily drone up and recover economically. The main ways protoss win is by forcing zerg to make a mistake. This isn't back in kespa days where pros didn't know how to optimize droning cycles to macro back into the game from a failed 3 hatch hydra. Games are much more mapped out that even failed cheeses or aggressive openings don't mean you auto-lose. You have a follow up game plan from that strategy. Which is why we see variations of protoss doing a cannon rush, and even if it fails the game can still resume normally, or in other match ups. TvZ, a failed bunker rush doesn't mean auto-loss for the terran. The game is much more mapped out since Kespa.

[@aleksandarnikolovski8865]

Protos newer wins

[@buttAttack]

what a big surprise... zerg bash hydra button and wins

[@Winnetou17]

What an insightless comment. Do you play or favor protoss, by any chance ?

[@Raz0rIG]

@@Winnetou17 Comment is true though. Just look at the stats, the ZvP games winrates are much higher during the early game until protoss can establish in the mid-very late game. The reasons why protoss lose in the earlymid game is hydra bust, how often do we see muta related losses vs hydra bust? From this evidence you can conclude that from a game theory perspective is it is optimal to do 3 hatch hydra blind vs where the opp reads you're doing it again. Zerg has all the opportunity of winning outright if it works, and no risk if it fails. Zerg can force protoss to sacrifice their eco advantage and have a few drone cycles and recover economically back into the game with not much downside to them relative to protoss's situation. If Zerg loses in a game where they did 3 hatch hydra, I guarantee you it's not because they the 3 hatch hydra didn't win them the game, most of the time, it's because they failed to adapt propertly and transition into the late game or made bad trades.

[@Winnetou17]

@@Raz0rIG I could say that in this game, the protoss simply lost it, those lurker drops were what won the game, not the hydra bust. Hence my comment above. And the protoss had all the tools to not be affected by the drop, or at least limit the damage, not lose 30 probes.
