The best endorsment to this day of gsl. I hope that game lives up to your comment.

[@dustincintron1682]

I found myself getting pissed off at Hero's play today. Also... that final game of the final series was insane

[@Ibosna]

The amount of all army hotkeys he did was insane. He lost so many free units

[@kommisar.]

@@Ibosna It was more shocked by the lack of attention over his army units. He would be engaged in a main army head-to-head battle and not even move his stalkers with a Disruptor ball coming right at them. Embarrassing honestly.

[@kimizor8193]

Same, damn it was irritating !

[@Sirwastealot]

It felt like hero was trying to lose, not close to his best

[@dustincintron1682]

A reliable source tells me Hero was playing sloppy because he was trying to rush to finish the match because he had to poop

Meh, as another commenter said, if hero's going to play that badly in Ro16, there's little hope of him getting out of Ro8 unless he really pulls it together.

[@Helix5370]

What a night of intense back and forth games! This GSL season has been fantastic so far.

State is making this transition without RT really easy. He could almost solo cast from how much he knows about the game

[@MoonyD911]

I feel so bad for Nightmare. The guy had so many chances to win and just dropped the bag on that last series. Poor guy :(

[@narsakucanada154]

A few years ago I repented to God then begged for help, "I was until then an Atheist." I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I held him was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of Love every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever. I've had other experiences since, "Several witnessed", one was seeing a bright orb of light pass across my face in the dark, hours before a major surgery the second I gave up in my heart. Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they Love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you Love them. Always have hope, I believe that prayer, following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, Truly becoming humble, merciful, welcoming, giving, gentle, respectful and forgiving, To All.

I didnt realize, i am a navy seal, I couldnt believe i can hold my breathe the whole time watching the last game 😅 damn!

[@AdvantagePlayer]

You can feel the tilt grow from each disrupter ball he ate. Hero honestly played like Diamond at the last game.

[@kommisar.]

I still can't figure out how he won that last game. He lost all those units for free and Nightmare managed to put them on equal bases/workers. How did he not make the comeback?

[@kaws8778]

Hero did not lose a nexus. While he continuously sniped bases and got cancels against nightmare. In the end hero looked like a zerg with half the map.

[@bluemm2852]

Great series! I feel like hero was fighting himself in that last game.

[@andrewferguson6901]

Really impressed at how quickly State has found his voice and his niche in this commentary. Following Artosis in the GS,L honestly, I didn't think anybody was capable; but State is bringing it!

[@SpeedyBozar]

I was shouting at my monitor throughout half of the last game. "Nightmare OMG, attack him!! Expand!!! Dude, you are killing me!!!" My intelligence was telling me Tasteless is 100% justified to say the game is over but my intuition was like "well, let's wait a second for herO to actually close the game out to be sure"

[@MattAlexander-do2od]

[@ghosthamster6521]

byun's build pretty much stops the zerg from teching up. it extends the mid game for so long. very cool strategy, i'd love to see clem try it too.

[@growltex2247]

Thanks again Arty, for a great cast as always. I actually upgrade plasma shield on protoss. But only if i have 2 armor and 2 weapon, and have a third forge. Not very often but it happens. In a game when it´s close that plasma shield, makes your units more tough. I agree that its alot of mineral and gas for them all, but that have saved my ass in some tough games. Peace out

Jesus wept, i was ready to call that as iffy as the MarineKing not seeing the proxy hatch incident if Nightmare had won. Hero is far too good to make so many mistakes, he absolutely bungled that lead. Incredible to actually win afterwards. Fabulous game

[@yunfanfan9452]

LOL the last game ... 😂

[@NongNong]

Herooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@erfanseyedsalehi1373]

Final game is a lesson on the importance of upgrades kids 😅

[@bladesofseven]

Also the importance of knowing how to micro against certain things.

[@erfanseyedsalehi1373]

@@bladesofseven Yeah definitely! But Nightmare did better on micro. What I meant was that despite the fact that he was able to capitalize on her0's blunders multiple times, he still couldn't finish the job. Her0's mass of stalkers with +3 were able to hold his +2 Stalkers back enough so that his superior economy would allow him to continue fighting.

[@sunburn74]

Upgrades were big. Nightmare also never expanded and basically ran out of money even though he was trading decently

[@josephbraun7984]

The second to the last game moreso. I think that's a big reason for the hold at the end there.

My friend Doug has NEVER seen a sloppier game than this! SHAME on Hero.

[@4310Joesakic]

I feel like Tasteless and Stats are not always on top of things and it's unfortunate to see them not living up to their full potential. For example game 1 Byun vs Ragnarok at 10:00 they seem suprised why Ragnarok didnt take the fight but wouldn't realize that he had missed baneling speed, which at 10min with hive tech is quite the mistake.

[@mcanallyjess]

Buddy, sc2 is old RTS game. Be thankful we have a GSL and casters period!

[@jkkim6928]

Fair point yet fangirls just can’t apparently 😂

[@sz8938]

State is probably the best SC2 caster not named Artosis or Rotterdam right now tbh and he's very new so just chill bro it'll be fine

[@MsPandaHime]

Not everyone can be as insightful as apollo or pig

[@gochubattamugga]

IIRC they said the screen they watch on is much smaller than one realizes so it's difficult to catch everything.

[@hexaldecima6839]

Byun is the deadliest SC2 pro player during small matchups like this. But, he's also the weakest if the match goes longer.

[@kommisar.]

He's shown some pretty good late game, especially in TvT.

[@TEJR69]

How did I end up here? I had my autoplay turned on, was watching a COOKING VIDEO, left the pc, came back and I'm at Starcraft 2 tournament, whilst I only played the first Starcraft waaay back when it came out. But I can't say it's not interesting!

[@reismw]

46:11 197 x 164 and still Byun destroyed. Could it be because of Ragnarok being insecure? Why not pull the trigger? Or is this just cause marvelous micro?

[@CodeNameLL]

It's about map control. And Ragnarok can't see the supply count

[@kommisar.]

@@CodeNameLL I think he was caught off guard and didn't have all his units ready.

[@ZealousPawn]

Glad you asked.. big miss by Stateless. Ragnarok can’t engage because he forgot baneling speed, you’ll notice it’s in the production tab

[@Daniel-rd6st]

17:42 Wow, didnt think that there are people around from developed countries, that dont know what a Cistern is! In Germany they are quite common to collect rainwater, especially for the garden. And considering how fresh water becomes more and more valuable i would have expected that they are common in the US too.

[@Animalsarefoods]

This surprised me. Living in the US I’ve only heard the word cistern used in a historical or fantasy context so I always thought they were used only in the past or by undeveloped counties. But I guess it depends on your local needs. The US naturally has more fresh water than most other countries and the infrastructure to pump it into everyones homes so collecting your own is not very high on most peoples priority list.

[@Daniel-rd6st]

@@Animalsarefoods Of course we have well developed water systems, but its still cheaper in the long run to get an underground water reservoir, that is connected to the waterdrainpipe on the roof, especially in dry summers (which become more and more frequent). Though your remark about about plentifull water in the US honestly surprises me, because often when i hear about the US i hear about water shortages, for example those regions that get their water from the colorado river. Farmland getting lost due to rain shortages and monocultures (dustbowl) is also soemthing i thought to be common in the US. So at least from what i hear in the news, fresh water seems to be getting rarer in the US too.

[@kommisar.]

@@Daniel-rd6st It depends on what part of the country you're talking about. The US is much bigger than Europe and has a lot more eco variety. In the desert regions you can get water shortages, and this includes California since a quarter of it is a desert.

[@Daniel-rd6st]

@@kommisar. "United States is approximately 9,833,517 sq km, while Europe is approximately 10,180,000 sq km, making Europe 4% larger than United States." :-) Maybe you mean European Union?

[@Animalsarefoods]

From what I hear in the news everything is going to kill us and the government needs more money and compliance from us to save us from it. That part of the country you mentioned does have a lot of desert so there’s not much rain to collect. I don’t mean that our systems are better, only that I doubt most Americans think about that type of stuff because it’s taken care of for them. Not saying that’s a good thing. I’m definitely not disagreeing with the benefits of cheap, sustainable, self sufficient ways of doing things. It’s just funny how we came to the opposite conclusions based on how things are where we live.

I still sometimes wonder how Hero has climbed the ranks this much given how terrible his mechanics are for a pro gamer. I can't recall a time I've seen that many ridiculous, major blunders in a single game at this high a level. I actually started rooting for Nightmare at that point and was ready to call it the biggest throw in the last few years.

[@eclipsemercx3687]

He was nervous as he said in the interview. If you want to watch people throwing games i could link you a few from 2012.

[@gochubattamugga]

The throw was Maru vs Olivera. Someone made a comment on the IEM Katowice match and I responded... "What if it was on purpose? Time changed username to Oliveira which means "from the olive tree" and a wreath is made from olive leaves and it is the symbol of the god Nike who is the God of Victory. For the sake of the "story" it was OIiveira's 'Time' to win. They clearly say it was 8 years for Oliveira to make it there and win. 8 is an infinity symbol and the speech given at the end was to tell the masses and viewers that hard work and energy pays off when focused on an objective" (-=

@@eclipsemercx3687 the interview was after the match.

[@eclipsemercx3687]

@@Large_Woman ... well he was explaining it saying he was nervous during the match, there isn't enough focus or betting on sc2 anymore for gamblers to pay people to lose anymore unlike the good old days.

Disagree. Tasteless has never carried these casts. When Artosis was around he was the one carrying and talking more than Tasteless.

[@pezelbuda]

@@sz8938 I disagree, but see your point. From my perspective, Artosis and Tasteless was like "commentator - Caster", meaning Artosis would analyze the game and Tasteless was saying what was happening more than analysis, although he did in various ocassions. State just talk too much and comments and overanalyze the game, also Tastosis was all about jokes and sometimes even not talking about the game at all, that is refreshing, is more like a fun experience than a "sport" you know what I mean?
