Larva vs shuttle. The perfect way to telegraph your strategy to your enemy is your name.

[@FalconPaladin]

:D

[@gustaf0902]

Early larva rush ;)

[@Synapsisify]

telegraph? Thats more like a video call.

[@serioussilliness2064]

I saw that 2!

[@MyNEKROSIS]

😂😂😂

[@joshuafredrickson3223]

He lost that base a couple times but never lost hope. Also shuttle consistently had 4K minerals seams like his bank was always ok.

[@cl0vvntiem]

what i appreciate about larva is that he has no compunctions about literally covering the map in dead zerg but also understands the importance of: 1. spells 2. expanding behind pressure 3. combined arms (i.e. mixing guardians with ground support)

[@shawnberry760]

Dude, how difficult is it to click the like button? It’s almost Pavlovian that whenever I see the falcon paladin sign in the beginning I hit the like button. My reward for doing that is hearing the chant brood war remastered! It’s just the same as hearing let’s get ready to rumble!

[@wowo29]

very high level game, no sloppy play, very crisp micro and I agree with the archon probably being the most improved looking unit in remastered. Keep up the great work with the channel!

[@The_Audiobook_Channel]

That was so good! Loved the moments where the massive Zerg wave was pushing on the 7 o clock, and the Protoss reinforcements were literally being airdropped in. So epic.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I miss StarCraft brood war so much. I haven't looked into the game since like 2002 so this was incredibly nostalgic to watch.

[@whitedevil550]

I kept thinking Shuttle was done for until he threw another 3-4 well placed storms. I think this game might highlight the old adage that mana is infinite and mining is not.

[@martinoheat1712]

That hold by Shuttle at the bottom left was impressive.

[@lolmatt9]

Best game that I've seen. Sad that the non conventional choice of guardians didn't pay off but it really seemed like there was no counter to them there. As another commenter said once he pushed with them they were vulnerable. Amazing control by both players.

[@brandonschwertley2723]

Scouts, and Dark Archons, and Guardians oh my.

[@JJtoutcourt]

Shuttle was like a toreador the whole game, Larva was throwing all his crystal producing as much army as he can while Shuttle was winning the battles. Now I gotta admit the guardian harass on that base was incredible and for a time I though Shuttle was going to lose because of that. Anyway, here's my comment to help you with the algorythm :D

[@gesuyarou663]

Such a fun match. Thanks for casting! Love seeing Guardians in the mix.

[@FalconPaladin]

Any time!

[@otanaknanarluq6764]

Definitely one of the best games you've cast in my opinion

Actually, the second place goes to Devoures with their 250 HP. Overlords have "only" 200.

[@paulmoloughney]

I've never seen templar play like this before. On many occasions he was pumping out 9 at at a time. Unreal

[@adamdesanti6713]

What defending by Shuttle! He never gave up, tenacious defending all game against all the resources Larva through at him! Awesome micro with storm and reavers and archons. Larva losing a massive army at the bottom left base the final third of the match was the turning point. His guardians focussed forever on a pylon that didn't die and his ling/hydra army was hit with so many storms. Shuttle was behind in that game and just had better micro.

[@krishnavandewalle9459]

I love watching a good broodwar match. Reminds me of the good times as a kid

[@kalebishop5182]

39:55 Defiler killed was the nail in the coffin. (In addition to the various assets lost by Zerg. Protoss defense was superb).

[@critter2193]

THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!! nothing else I can say. Thanks Falcon.

[@davidtansley8623]

What did I just witness!? The control from both players is simply astonishing!

[@Catinbox123-ne4le]

lol Falcon's AGONIZED laughs at the end

[@NimerionTech]

When my wife was teaching me Korean, she told me that Nun mul means Eye water. Which in turn means crying. Nun mul jeul jeul is the complete sentence.

[@MichaelStemkovski]

I think that if Larva had focused on killing that lone pylon in the last battle, he might have won. The storms and archons were still really really good, but deactivating 7 cannons could well have tipped it in his direction, given how tight it ended up being.

[@christopherschumacher2649]

By far one of the best back and forth games you've ever cast!

[@shawnberry760]

Hey falcon, a few questions. 1. Can you rank all races according to your taste. 2. What race do you play the most? 3. What’s your favorite match to cast? Thanks for these casts!

[@FalconPaladin]

1. Zerg/Terran/Protoss 2. Zerg 3. ZvP

[@donniebrasco1364]

Protoss should be the best race and most technologically advanced. Zerg are a cheap aliens rip-off with eyes.

[@shawnberry760]

@@donniebrasco1364 says the internet troll with a ripped off name. Go back to your cave.

[@iamthem.a.n.middleagednerd1053]

I'm not sure if you noticed or not but for the last 15 minutes of that game Shuttle was sitting on a massive bank. He had close to 5000 minerals at several points. Larva ran out of money.

[@ganqqwerty]

Zeeeeerg! we are endless! UPD: well, until we have no more money

[@ffn8917]

If there's 1 thing starcraft has taught me, it's that even the zerg needs money.

[@bzzbzz123]

"is that a premature quit? - its the more storm, - I think he was just sick of being stormed in the face over and over and over again" LOL best comment ever xD so true hahah

[@masterofballs123]

Best high Templar play by a Protoss. Phenomenal game

[@ganqqwerty]

ahahah I laughed so hard, perfect timing on praising Shuttle for his art of shuttling

[@ganqqwerty]

28:03 I swear to god, I shouted aaaaargh when these 4 guardians instantly died

[@vandakaii2893]

Funny thing is Larvae beats 98% other Toss players with that same positioning along that wall ridge with Guardians I am quite sure specially if your not prepared for it but the 1000000000 High Temps Shuttle had was more then enough to counter it funny enough lol.. Nice cast as always falconpunch.. I mean Falcon Paladin.

[@derpyhooves7349]

SPOILER ALERT It took me a while to figure out what happened this game and why Larva lost this game and now it makes sense to me. Guardians were actually a winning move. Denying and killing that bottom base for so long was the winning move. But losing several high tech armies while attempting to kill the base next to it was the losing move. Larva was actually behind before he made the first guardians. And prob. more behind when he lost them. But the next waves of guardians did super well and most importantly shut down a perfectly healthy base completely. But then he tried to bash his way through the other base and ran into reaver storm cannon over and over again. And at the end he ran his guardians there too and lost the terrain advantage, so archons murdered them. He should have instead taken the middle base way earlier and defended it with guardians above those two cliff thingies or put lurkers around the base. Or he should have simply been more patient and keep denying that bottom base.

[@nibernator]

Not sure if taking the center would be the winning move. Could have worked since he had better map control, but that is a high risk move. I think you are right though, had he kept up on the guardians maybe he had a better shot at knocking out the bottom corner? He was at the razor edge on the minerals for so long, so I can see he must have felt pressured to try and put the pressure on Shuttle to knock out the base and not spend on the guardians.

[@harlequin75]

What a game !!! Larva taking the middel base...LOVE IT

[@oldoneeye7516]

Larva! Long time no see. I am only halfway through the video yet, but i can already tell: one of the best games I have seen in a while. Both players are fighting at eye level and insanely good. I love matches like that. Thanks a lot for casting! Edit (and spoiler) Double-U-Te-F... what a game. I really enjoyed this one. Dark Archons, Guardians, Scouts.... btw: the scout was killed by hydras pretty quickly. I also do believe Larva could have won the game, but remember: he does not see what you see! See you next time Falcon.

[@paulchang9272]

He was in a losing position by the end. No more minerals means no more army, no way to challenge a Protoss who now can hold the natural and even take the center.

[@djupsman]

Love me some shuttle shuttles. The hi temp drops to save the base over and over.

[@shanedude91]

Wow didn't see that GG coming, great game

[@Funkerization]

Wow, incredible!

[@MrJtwins]

this is probably the best game you casted imo!!

[@TheRubberDuck77]

Looks to me like he yes got sick of the storms but also, look at the moment he quit, is when Shuttle figured out his long distance mining and started killing the drones. He had no real mineral income at that point as his one base with minerals was almost out. Yet shuttle still had 2 bases with minerals and was about to have a 3rd with a lot of minerals(that's where the storms were coming in keeping him from stopping that base. So it was inevitable Larvae would lose, I don't think it was an early quit, it made sense to me, he didn't have the minerals income to keep up production

[@wowo29]

Being down 20 supply as zerg in zvp, you're actually up since hydras are only one supply, zerglings are half a supply and protoss units are mostly 2 supply each.

[@Traumerei112]

Larva expanding 4th too late and not making enough use of dark swarm meant he didn't have enough in the late game to get it done, at about the 25th minute mark the writing was kind of on the wall but I too thought he had a shot if he could have gotten rid of the 7' o clock base
