Clem Faces His Greatest Challenge. StarCraft 2's Final Boss

[@adrenaline98]

Truly appreciate all of the casts you have done Winter. You play no small part in keeping this game alive, as important as the players and tournaments. I know I would have stopped following it a long time ago without the humor and commentary. I’ve probably watched 1/4 of these 1500 casts now, and can’t say I’ve ever been disappointed in your content. Cheers and hope to be here at 3000.

[@RalsBalls]

Well said!

[@adrenaline98]

@winterstarcraft Proposal to add Doomfist’s “I am the final boss” voice line to Dark’s intro.

[@asell0808]

Great take, great praise. I 100% agree.

[@schratt0r676]

100% agree! stopped playing long time ago, and still.. just bc of winter here, i still follow SC2.. awesome work

[@adrenaline98]

@ I actually stopped playing in like 2010, didn’t even follow it anymore. Winter’s casts were so good, I was chilling in Taiwan for the past year and it randomly popped up on my KZbin and I’m like WTH, let me check out the game. He single handedly made me interested in spectating competitive SC2 again. At first I’m like, is this a joke? Dudes southern accent just throwing out stuff like making his spire great again in professional casts? Now I catch at least one cast a day. 😂

[@dunngyllite7883]

Brenda: "We've ARRIVED!" Susan: "What? We didn't move anywhere" Brenda: "at 1500 likes !" Gratz from a dedicated spectator ;)

Your commitment to this game and the community is amazing! I haven’t played sc2 in years but still love the content! :)

[@snagsTS]

Even as a Terran player and fan boy I love Dark. The dude has a pair of balls denser than osmium. Probably one of the most entertaining players out there, along with Gumiho, in my humble opinion.

[@crapsound]

Glad I'm not the only one. Even though I am rooting for Terran, Dark is also amazing. So far, it's him and Gumiho that are my favorite pro players.

those games are absolutely amazing, the builds, the micro the strategy, the casting too ! thank you winter for all your videos !!

[@pinguthelightning]

Its crazy that terran can just spam 2 tier 1 units the entire game and just win. Clem is insane though

[@linanthony7892]

i think alphastar AI played that style as well. Just mass marines and tanks. Zerg just mass roches and ravagers.

[@cosmicyoke]

All about the player’s skill

[@scarletspidernz]

It's balance You can get rid of all other Terran units leaving Terran with MMM+Tanks+Ghost and Z & P will still require Tier 4 units to beat T

[@pinguthelightning]

@@scarletspidernz Yeah, thats the thing, it takes zerg at least 2-3 minutes more to be able to deal semi-consistently with MMM+Tanks, and when you face a guy like Clem, you don't have that time, and you just get steamrolled

I dislike how they've slowly over time made all the standard Zerg units worse, leaving us to rely more and more on spellcasters, which isn't fun to play and doesn't feel zerg-y

[@krajekdev]

have you seen game 1?

[@ivancicprimoz3678]

and they removed the better zerg spellcasters to boot. like infestor is pretty much useless in most situations. how about some defilers with dark swarm to really make a difference, or queens with spawn broodling for a better viper.

It's kind of crazy how Zerg drops are basically just now really starting to enter the meta (as in the past month or two). Baneling drops have been a thing in the past, but stuff like dropping 4 roaches or 8 lings (minimal investment drops), was never really part of Zerg's gameplan in the past, except that one time when drops were hatch tech and it completely broke ZvP.

Clem deserves a 10 on his card now. He is the 10 of Terran. Serral is the 10 of Zerg. There is no 10 of Protoss (Love ya Maxpax but not there yet).

You’re wrong. There are multiple 10’s in Protoss. The scales are relative, you realize?

[@Therunner77452]

Idea for a creative tournament…. All mirror matchups. If it would be a not mirror matchup, take Clem v Reynor for example, both players play the race that neither of them are, so in this scenario, PvP. A TvZ would be PvP. And then if there is a mirror matchup let them play their mirror match or agree to play a mirror match of a different race. I think it would be hilarious 😂 not to mention the possibility of seeing Reynors toss against Clems. Or Clem’s Zerg against MaxPax as Zerg…

Zerg don't even need to make a mistake to lose, just be a second slower in the first couple of minutes to take the 3rd, and they are already massively behind. Terran can make one mistake after the other, lose 20-25 workers in the first 10 minutes, and still manage to stay in the game. Terran should just be removed from the game at this point.

[@broome090]

So many get out of jail free cards. It’s crazy. Easy tech switches. Free scouting. Free vision of cloaked and burrowed units. Healing and mobility built into the same unit. Scvs heal mech units. Free temporary workers. Building that can defend and also deal splash damage. Not to mention ghosts.
