[@natecw4164]

Maybe a bit too obvious but some Idra rage wouldn't hurt. You know half Huk's army was halluc? Lol 😊

[@Erasar08]

Dont remember the game but the mechanic was intense. ZvP with MASS broodlord microing and fireing on it's own spawns to fight the protoss army at a safe distance with endless streams.

[@Wallsh]

Gotta say I miss StarCraft used to watch it all the time. I love how you guys edit now much more digestible!! Can we get a best Zerg cheese

[@IronToast]

Playing a bit from what Nate C W said, an episode of players giving the GG, when they clearly had the win but didn't know it! (you know the rage was there when they saw the replay) 😋

[@TheRealDeadRock]

That Thor rush was sexy, but that ballsy all-in contain that Clem did was genius.

[@20the20]

That ghost rush made me feel something again. Been my favorite strat since the day wings of liberty launched

[@SC2HL]

Go on the ladder and try it right now!

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

I feel like that strat would be, counterintuitively, not very good against low-level players (I don't know your rank), because bad players are way more likely to depend on overcompensating via static defense (which means detection). It is very specifically something that works against higher level Protoss BECAUSE they are supposed to know better. Which is pretty funny, I think

[@michaelharvath243]

17:20 Showtime's second stalker arrives to save his first... and shoots it in the face lmao

[@RealityBoy101]

That's how you know those two stalkers are old war buddies.

[@wiseausrs]

That three Ghost rush was a stroke of diabolical genius.

[@king_cobra1]

uthermal is the real goat!

[@SC2HL]

Love him, the Netherlands taking over StarCraft KZbin: - Lowko - Harstem - uThermal - SC2HL (me)

[@LitheInLitotes]

He is poop

[@Pkedya2boy]

Seeing uThermal's ghost plays on SC2HL was something I didn't realize I needed. Thanks for another banger, SC2HL, as Marc would've put it

[@SC2HL]

Breaking the meta back in 2016

[@happyclouds5615]

He was an absolute silly goose

[@randommcranderson5155]

@@happyclouds5615 still is but his videos are great. if you love fun sc2 games definitely go watch uthermal's youtube channels. He's got some great runs to grandmaster with stupid stuff like ravens/hellions, or ghost only.

[@holographicmeatloaf1596]

Clem, the French Terran creating the Maginot Line, and Showtime, the German, surronding and blitzkrieging him to break it.

[@TheoLeRigolo2218]

Nice one !

[@AngryJT]

*slightly raises his head* "OOOH HE THROWS HIS HEAD BACK"

[@havinfun44884488]

Love these types of videos! Thanks 🙏

[@Talentaire]

Love your work !

[@constantinvasiliev2065]

Thanks. This was amazing!!!!

[@tictcha612]

Nice video !

[@FranksMuseumOfGaming]

I've not watched SC2 in 10 years but still enjoy these unique games

[@acestealman]

Me not, because Protoss always lose.

[@whip_pan]

Ghost rush was so cool

[@matheusazevedo3138]

Man, that ghost rush was disgusting

[@hasbro447]

8:41 fck, the way those 4 zealots disappeared :))

[@Hakenkreuz420]

Very awesome gamez

[@dedoso]

que partidaza la de TY vs Soo

[@Sir_Tomoyuki]

The Thor and mech games against Protoss are the best! Poor Stats and Showtime... I'm surprised you didn't include Gumiho's Battlecruiser game against Classic, that was also one of the best Terran games against Protoss!

[@SC2HL]

Will remember! Which one are you referring to specifically?

[@Sir_Tomoyuki]

@@SC2HL I believe it was the GSL Super Tournament 2019 finals, the map with Amon in the background.

[@1412dante]

Protoss: why always me?

[@rogaldorn5634]

Consider this as retribution for all your cannon rushes against mankind, you filthy xenos.

[@thejern1803]

TY is the best style

[@Malacite]

Needs more Penguin Brothers.

[@Dakota_B_]

Mmmm so good watching a battery boy get stomped by superior Terran strats.

[@ghoraxe9000]

I love Thor's...Hammer of the Gods!

[@chookee1080]

Maru is the biggest genius he ended two games quickly with a nuke.

[@Xtariz]

Me as a protos player... just felt the frustration that ghost rush must've been

[@Martin-rv5is]

"This is pure evil" lol

[@blockplanet9417]

Bit of a shame that there were no TvZ games. These were some great games no doubt. Would be nice to see some diversity though

[@SC2HL]

Next episode coming Sunday!

[@lukelu3698]

Full of TVP lmao

[@SC2HL]

Didnt even think about that, but true. Will make it a bit more diverse next ep!

[@pawemalinowski4838]

I miss Tastosis GSL casts

[@yourboyvic]

ghost rush is Terran dt 😮

[@GameFuMaster]

don't get why people don't go tank + blue flame against protoss anymore. Seems like such a reasonable combo

[@cylee4735]

because immortal exists?

[@GameFuMaster]

@@cylee4735 and that means what? Immortals didn't exist before LoTV?

[@nasigil5928]

Many Terran tried to make TvP Mech work, Maru, TY, Gumiho, Fantasy all had their attempts. None of the attempts really last long. It works once or twice as surprise strategy but once Protoss knows what they are up against they can easily counter it. There are simply too many things that works well against Mech in current SC2 Protoss untis, chargelots, blink stakers, disruptors, imortals, void rays, carriers etc. One bad engagement from Terran it's over because Mech army is so slow and expensive and is not much more powerful compare to bio. Immortals especially is something that's designed specifically to counter tanks, felt like someone in SC2 design team was tired of how PvT look like in BW.

[@GameFuMaster]

@@nasigil5928 well that's why I said blue flame with tanks. Blue flames are going to counter chargelots, and blink stalkers generally don't fair well against mass tanks anyway. Voidrays definitely sounds like it maybe an issue from the lack of anti-air with just hellbats and tanks. But I guess the main downside would be against disruptors because of the immobility.

[@juliuskwak1263]

You just answered your own question... if the two players raced in purely building units and disregarded upgrades, stalkers win every time. You can mass them much quicker. The strat you are theorizing relies solely on element of surprise. That the opponent doesn't and cannot figure out beforehand what may be coming. Thus your proposed strategy is niche and can only work in one way. If Protoss started working on air, then obviously Terran couldn't do that. Again, you're relying solely on beforehand information.

[@V3ND3TA.]

24:06 *the bunker look scary* yeah i agree 😂

[@cole3062]

I'm gonna miss Tastosis.

[@hamster2845]

You know I kind of miss husky starcraft. Does he still commentate SC2 games?

[@yourboyvic]

he started again, he's doing some bronze league heroes, it's awesome 👌

[@Adamin_The_III]

As a protoss main, I have to state, that I hate the terran so much. I gotta switch the main

[@arnervillahermosa6366]

Where's the #1 vid of this series(greatest terran strategies of all time)?

[@SC2HL]

It’s the Protoss one!

[@arnervillahermosa6366]

@SC2HL oh okay. I thought terran had its own series. Thanks

[@SC2HL]

Maybe I should seperate them! Think that makes it a lot easier

[@arnervillahermosa6366]

That's a great help for me since I love to see terran amazing strategies

[@olafragnarson9209]

"A Thor !" - a professional cast, apparently, 10 seconds before the Thor rush hits - These best-ofs really show the difference between mediocre observing/casting and at least decent ones. Great video nonetheless.

[@eliott5528]

Why take a old clip from the first episode?

[@SC2HL]

The first episode had different strategies! They were all Protoss; these are all Terran.

[@komarAON]

In 2023 we watch repley with babymothership? o_0

[@SC2HL]

Its a highlight video with greatest strategies from all time!
