Bisu vs Soma -- what more can you ask for?

[@Xaan-lm4hb]

One thing I'd like to comment on is Bisu's upgrades. Back in 2017 when Remastered came out we still had the leftover dogma that Protoss should prioritize attack upgrades only. Then that evolved to getting attack and armor (with double forge, even) as pros came back to the game and figured out any economy savings from not getting armor were outweighed by how much weaker hydras are against high armor upgrades. Then finally we're in 2024 and Bisu is getting shields over +3 armor for a stronger late game vs plague. The game is 25 years old and keeps evolving strategically.

[@monkleyt]

I did watch until the credits rolled. This game was truly epic

[@pkscolax9480]

Definitely. I wonder how at 32:00 abouts would the game swing back in Toss favor. Maybe attacking the middle of the map bonus resources patch.

[@ryanlutes9833]

those two guardians were probably my favorite play of the match. Not a lot of kills but the sheer value they got in terms of damage just plinking away at the archons moving back and forth was awesome.

[@mapro3948]

yep!

[@Z3nt4]

That DT play gave me massive chills. That's how I always imagined DTs as a 12 year old playing the original campaign back in 1999. A stealth assassin that could somehow tap into the swarm's mind, outmaneuver the Zerg, wreak havoc among the hives and seemingly vanish into thin air like he was never even there.

[@Dtt4]

Not without the help of the Corsairs.

[@bradyhicks5994]

Beautiful game. Brood War is so amazing at the highest level with the comeback potential and the multiple engagements across the map.

Love to see guardians being used properly! Both of these guys showing a masterclass of ZvP.

Thank you Artosis for all those great games. I haven't played starcraft in over 20 years and just started watching games on your channel. I could never really figure out the game as a kid but now I feel like I want to play it again!

[@iiroaro808]

Fun to see the intense micro battles towards the end, even though both players know the game's been over for a while now

Epic lategame battle. Great cast. It's nice to have BW content that's high quality outside of ASL.

Impressive game! I didn't touch this game for years but always a pleasure to follow your casts. Gg!

[@BillyTaylor-eu7vc]

Love the channel and content and love everything starcraft. First time commenting and I just wanted to point this out and im sure most of us know this but I know its hard to actually pull off depending on map and layout but whenever facing zerg their biggest weakness is that they only make 1 building to access or unlock the troops they need right such as zerglings, hydra, etc. while Terran and protoss can make multiple buildings when making troops like marines, medics, etc.with barracks and zealots, dragoons, etc with gateway. Anyways take out the spawning pool and hydralisl den and defiler mound and stalls zerg for abit and then u can attack elsewhere simultaneously picking at fresh bases and back and forth. Yes, you would have to sacrifice some troops for it via drop or air attack but more than worth it imo. Don't know why i don't see it more is all from other players. Love everyone here btw and our love for then game. Awesome😊

[@conorquinn9245]

so damn true about what bisu manages to get done with a handful of dt corsair

[@patrickburden8257]

Great game. Thanks for bringing us this epic battle Artosis!

[@buneuocheng678]

Wow, what a great game! By reading those players before the game started, already knew it was an exciting game fighting head to head. Bisu, very good kill in the beginning opener, almost kill off Zerg’s base. On the other side, Soma, had a very strong map control plus very strong defense made Bisu very hard to break in. Plus some great Guardians used towards the end. This was so fun and enjoyable to watch. Thank you Artosis!

I think not hunting down the overlords early game really hurt him Also why do I always think red zerg is the most elite zerg color? Reminds me of those story hunter killers.

would be cool if @ArtsosisCasts could cast some of the older but most legendary games in SC history. Not sure if the replays for them are floating around anywhere but that'd be great.

[@Juch1]

What a game! Thank you for showing..:)

[@MrReborn8u]

Im thinking the Zergling speed into lair is just because Soma respects what Bisu can do with just a few zealots. Especially taking the quick third on a 4 player map, and knowing bisu scouted it.

[@tacticalchunder1207]

Amazing game from the winner!

[@mateog5362]

Awesome game! Lategame PvZ is really amazing to watch!

[@jonasdainauskas6004]

Hi Artosis, very cool cast as usual. My question is about the ghost lockdown ability. Why is it nearly never used against carriers? I would say from the first look it is just as powerful as maelstrom, just requires more ghosts instead of one dark templar. Any arguments on this? I've seen a couple of games where 10-12 carriers were caught and completely annihilated.

[@HulzebobEfkers]

Can someone tell Artosis that it's not layer, but lair? Thanks!

[@lronSky]

Any chance of you casting some old school legndary games Artosis?

What did they say in korean at the beginning of the match?

[@trumpisbackboi]

13:48 this expo is a power move against soma. While taking his 4th he build his own. And Soma knows about it. Its a mind game

[@kindhomegrownbud]

great comeback game!

[@AquaSZSSoo]

Wow, I see why Artosis considers Soma possibly the best zerg right now. Soma seems to view the game in a very strategic big picture way. Instead of tunnel visioning on a specific expansion, he prioritized map control and that ultimately won the game. That mass guardian siege to counter reaver turtling was creative too. Hope to see more zergs go for that instead of wasting waves of ground units vs reavers.

[@joaquincespedes5673]

Why zerg never go ultras agaisnt protoss ? They can tank alot of damage, maybe not mass ultras but some could get alot of damage

[@JonTietz]

@SaiyanKCM casted this game a couple of weeks ago I'm 99.9% sure. Funny how closely you both casted it.

[@ashuael5732]

insane game

[@cubandarknez]

made it to the end. Very surprising game. Thought it was surely over after that 9 oclock went down for zerg. Think toss got too cute, should've pushed forward with a storm timing since they knew zerg was behind on their timings.

[@AqoCyrale]

Soma had 78 drones at one point, this is the true power of zerg, the macro machine is activated and unlocked at full power, neverending swarm of units

[@WickedServantEbay]

this wasnt really that kind of game though; Soma had to be really efficient at trading which is why there were so many skirmishes instead of max army clashes when zerg gets a couple bases ahead THEN they can swarm you and just steamroll (need a lot of hatches first of course) but Bisu did so much damage that they were basically on even bases

[@Freefall282]

epic game, love to see late game pro play.

[@Snomittt]

damn feels like protos dont have a chance in this matchup early agresion where he killed a hatch oh and he killed zerg hatch on top right and all this tight defences amazing storms, and zerg just comes with more each time, loses entire army => switches to guardians and has a max out atack again AND he is like 2000 resources ahead all the time. Its like this campaign missions to hold for 20 min and by the end you feel like zerg is getting units out of his ass. Not to mention protos was like a bad storm away from losing a game most of the time since zerg's army feels like on crack 1 lurker or a few zerglings/hydras and most of your army disapears. Crazy

[@onarass6321]

What a crazy game.

[@The_Audiobook_Channel]

Edge. Of. My. Seat. terrific game!

[@yudaliu725]

If Bisu, arguably the best SCBW Protoss player of all time, can't retain that advantage and instead loses it to a Zerg that just spams Lings/Lurkers/Plague then perhaps the game is slightly imbalanced.

[@JO-zf4ky]

The obvious conclusion. Had the advantage and couldn't even secure a split map position to close it out

[@NotFalco]

The best part was when artosis spoke

[@usmh]

Would've LOVED to see more zealots late game. They seem so much better under swarm than archons.
