Can't be too hard on Columbus for weird scouting decisions. The dude set out to reach India and thought he made it when he hit Haiti XD

[@ebbethinggaard]

but that is not Haiti on the report form though..

[@asddasdasdasdadsa]

Columbus also was terrible at math if America didn't exist the hole expedition would have died at sea ^^ that is the real reason the Spanish said no to his plan, because the Spanish queen gave it to there syentists and they sad he was way of with his math (the people already knew the world is round, the knew that a few hounded years before Jesus Christ already ^^)

[@Sara_Feingold]

@@asddasdasdasdadsa Yeah, I don't think anyone ought to attribute more to Columbus than that he "discovered" new land to colonize, and even that was by accident/luck. Which seems entirely fitting with how much information Columbus's scouting revealed in this replay XD

He doesnt do anything to the deathball, but he keeps blasting!! Shits starts to pour out of his suits cracks, but he keeps blasting!!! Finally, a colossus spots and vaporizes him. R.I.P marine.

[@wanderhillen2435]

Must admit that the "robo wall" strategy makes a lot of sense. Everyone knows that robo units are better than gateway units. Therefore, building more robo units is better. BUT! If you don't have enough robos you'll never max out because the units take forever, so you need tons of robo facilities. And if you are going to build 10 of them anyway, might as well put them in the wall to serve double duty. QED Harstem, betya didn't think about that.

[@alltat]

I think the real trick is that your robo units can't get stuck inside your base if you build the robo bays in the wall.

[@nekrosis4431]

13:51 I always love the small edits, like the pigeon, the counter from obs speed to first obs, and of course the trivia top right. Race car sound effect during the second watch of obs suicide was dearly missed tho (I mean at 17:30)

[@NewoolDoge]

Imagine Reynor, Clem or Serral submitting an IODIS claim. That'd be hilarious to watch 😂

Last week we had a Bronze that we were sure was actually low Plat, and this week we have a low Plat that I am sure is actually Bronze.

[@plantex625]

This give me an an idea for BGWSS - No gateway units. Try to win without gateway units. You can build some initially for defense if needed, but try to just make only robo and stargate units

[@Ikkalyzte]

I think that was the "Protoss Mech" episode?

[@SlayPlenty]

Need for Observer speed

[@Tiogar60]

What i love the most is the a move disruptor, absolutely marvelous. The unit with no attack capabilities, other than an ability gets sent in the middle of the fights, then killed with his teammates own storm

[@SmolKTN]

He misread. It's not disruptor. it's distractor.

[@keizan5132]

#suggestion. Today JimRising played Protoss against Ryu in DH LatAm, just in case you see potential to make a "what went wrong" analysis of offrace Protoss gameplay from a pro. Also, I used #suggestion 'cause the biggest chess channel in youtube encourages their audience to suggest nice games to review using a tag to make it easier for them to read all of them separately, just leaving it there in case you would like to incorporate any feature of the likes for your casts channel. Great IODIS as usual, Penta Robo all the way! BTW: Congrats on your wins at DH Winter so far.

Artosis + Arthritis --> Atrocious ... XD ROFL I'm dead.

[@meandmyself1600]

Looking at the ressources lost, it feels like the "I was ahead economically" claim must be true. Otherwise he couldn't have been losing that much more

[@sadghfajdslhgsadklgk]

True! Given that they both still had their bases, buildings and a standing army throughout this phase of the game and protoss consistently had way higher units lost. Terran probably didn't saturate properly at his 4th n later 5th, plus he made only planetaries at some point and probably ceased muling, giving the toss with slightly higher workers mining the edge for most of that game.

Oh my God thoes storms are legit killing me, my man is blind. The disruptors that just run into marines and the 3 fast observers dying due to speed that was made with chrono boost. This is probably as good as that other guy who was making scouting nexus and killing 1 unit per storm and worse micro than f2.
