oh good, a macro to start the week, so cool and one great legendary player facing new guys, love those, see how he/she/they do! Could be, WILL be interesting, lol. Checking for sneaky two-fers, will not spoil if it is or not but LOVE the uninterrupted macros. The best, gives us more strat to see many times, too. The BEST. Thanks Falcon, love that you continue to find new ones, there probably are actually a ton out there, maybe even years worth, but this is awesome, and love when new challengers, ones we may not have seen or even known about, take on the greats, always nice to see the elites face new challenges and obstacles, lol. And dark horse players. Thanks again. / .

With this zerg victory, we can all stop for a moment and appreciate that a river can cut through rock.

[@lockelaton287]

The quick 4th base really gave him a big push against Snow :D

[@greenwave819]

yessir and that triple expand was clutch!!

[@lucasbritoarruda]

One the most action intensive games I've ever watched…

[@MrMaddox57]

Let's also just say, Yabsab broke SOMETHING, lol. Thought the same, Falcon in what you said toward the end. So true. 🤣🌟☮✊👍👍.And yeah, Yabsab's NUMBERS! WOW! GREAT use of production, forces, and yep, that economic advantage. And Snow TRIED to keep checking the Zerg expansions but Yabsab WISELY kept rebuilding them AND immediately replacing their drones time and time again, amongst many other things, factors, matters, manuvs, etc.

[@Phil_Burton]

Oh, somewhere in this favored galaxy the sun is shining bright, The soundtrack is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light; And somewhere players are laughing, while Artosis shouts, But there is no joy in Protossville-mighty Snow has struck out.

[@FalconPaladin]

Genius!

[@pkscolax9480]

Hopefully next season for Snow

[@MrMaddox57]

and those Reaver drops from Snow were on full display, REALLY caused Yabsab some problems, but impressed with the Zerg player, he can CLEARLY go toe-to-toe with Snow. Peace, excellent game. Both players MIGHT have been able to continue a LITTLE bit or so farther, but solid performance. 👍🌟✊💪❤.and yes, Snow had the right combo, too!

[@kieranhurst8543]

You haven't lost until you've lost. Snow really likes to go for the flashy attacks and annoying tactics to make his opponent tap out early, but when he comes up against a player that won't tap out then Snow mines himself out doing the same thing instead of going for the kill. You cast a Snow PvT a while back where he kept recalling into the Terran's main over and over to try and make him tap out, but the Terran persisted and let Snow recall all of his resources down the drain then moved in for the kill.

[@ObeliskM]

Yet he is the best protoss in the world

[@user-iu1ru1qz7u]

Snow seems unable to macro past a certain point against zerg, it's weird. He had several instances where he could've used his superior map control to secure a 5th & 6th, and continued to press on and kill nothing despite his army being so costly.

[@astrocaglar]

This is how you are supposed to play ZERG! Larva is so proud of you. GJ Yabsab!

[@Catinbox123-ne4le]

love the title, hahaha, and hey, new players, well, never before seen perhaps on the Brood War casts. Awesome, thanks, Falcon! 😊🐦👍🌟🕊❤‍🔥

[@ObeliskM]

Ultralisks still clearly have hard time against protoss. Ultralings army composition is not very worth it because of cost inefficiency; they group together and die together to AoE. I think few ultras + a lot of hydras could be great though. Ultras can tank reaver shots (which usually massacre hydras) and some storms, which greatly increases survivability and damage output of hydras.

[@ryan3088]

This was a ton of unexpected fun!

[@andreluiskarpinski732]

I waited all the game for ventral sacks... when it has been developed it never get used haha

[@CharlesNichols-hj5vq]

Don't know anything about some of these players in replays the last couple months...love getting new names in the mix

[@MrMaddox57]

this was a very good game, can see why no epic tag, drawn out but also ended quickly, actually, game MIGHT have gone on longer, but wow. I won't spoil the ending but will leave it at, like I said, and echoing others perhaps, LOVE when elites meet challenges. Yabsab is DEF. potentially that is an up-and-coming player, his macro style is aggressive, ambitious, outstanding, even if perhaps a tad over-extending, or so. But THAT is the way you play Zerg. Good game, I like this Zerg player's style, which is similar to other known Zerg players of the arguably elite categorization. He is getting better and better, if this is new, in his improving and advancing, learning stage exiting, Yabsab. This playermight get better and better and I hope he does. Using "he" though I do not know what they would prefer. But good macro strategy and replenishing units, replacing bases, going for that econ advantage or at least counter, and flooding in troops. Great to see, Snow MUST have thought "this player is GOOD," and vice versa if Yabsab does not know Snow, which I am CERTAIN they probably do. Good game, and even wish it were even LONGER, lol. More complex. But complex nevertheless. Thanks Falcon, another good one! 😊👍🌟✊🤜

[@pkscolax9480]

With that amount of map control, the end result was a complete surprise!

[@Sentient6ix]

No hydras, and somehow still beat the near unbeatable protoss strategy. It's even more difficult when you're running scrictly ground melee units. My brain is broken over this match

[@MrOmelianchuk]

The defiler in the overlord idea... I've wondered if loading one or two up with some lurkers and dropping them in a mineral line would be useful. Could plague the base and put a dark swarm over the lurks to hit the workers an the building. Haven't seen anyone try it. Maybe it has been tried and it just doesn't work?

[@blackpow3r]

If you are on 8 bases as a Zerg and the Protoss is on 5, you are in great shape to outlast him. Even with the incredible shuttle reaver micro. I definitely saw this is as a Zerg win with the swarm. 😂😂

[@AdamXXX338]

Cause Snow sent the drones across the map by mistake and when he realised it was too late

[@beslemeto]

16:00 a knew Snow was done.

[@nasraddineberhane]

🎉🎉😂😂😂 gg very good play zorg❤

[@ZeusPleaseUlt]

gg. fun one to watch. Fear the swarm

[@Nautules83]

I was rooting for Yab on this one! Very entertaining to see the underdog zerg flood his way to victory

[@-Nick-T]

perfect attendance is hard to beat!

[@feijesuskucaliz633]

wtachin this video remind me that i had the box set of starcrat with the game and book lore under my bed o.o

[@mauricioMontanoSerrano]

This stuff is awesome

[@BeyondtheBreakz]

SNOW now is making big money , through the public betting on him. Bookies knows how to convince players!!!

[@sorrylag9212]

So why do the pros not take out pylons? This is a prime example at the start. If the flood of lings killed the plyon instead of the gateway. It would have de-powered everything. The cannon wouldn’t be active. The 10+ lings would win against the zealots. Flooding the economy line. It might not be game ending but would have done more in my opinion. I do understand that by not taking out the gateway the Protoss would have 1 tier higher tech.

[@tylerwinkle323]

16:26 lol cmon fp, obvious 3 ultras+ dark swarm = dead base

[@NguyenMinh-ld2xi]

Love your voice Falcon, it sounds hilarious

[@MrMaddox57]

yep, lol, he is hilarious and we love him for it. And his CONTINUING matches and commitment to his viewers/audience, the consistency, and yes, the funny comments and even slips hahaha. Exclamations, etc, lol.

[@axel77708]

Да кто такой этот ябсаб?? Просто фантастичная игра, почему я его ранее не видел?

[@Promatheos]

Snow kept investing a lot of army into assaulting bases but never finishing them off with a second push. He couldn't make up his mind on where to attack and just went everywhere rather than focusing on keeping his side of the map clean to give himself future expansions. And that hatch left at under 100 hp when he had zealots all over it is unacceptable. That hatch proceeded to soak up minerals for the next ten minutes.

[@gr26li]

Hi all. Need some advice. I installed SCBW remastered and saw 30 +- fps. The game lags a lot. Even turning on the classic view didn't help with the graphics settings. My PC is 5600x+3070 16gb ram windows 10

[@szcsaba101]

I don't understand why he didn't make more birds and hydra?

[@EbeeDeeby]

Those darn yucky aliens

[@FalconPaladin]

👽

[@gasparmc]

that's very zerg

[@collincollar1398]

For the algorithm

[@dzejzi5800]

Nice battle, gg scbw roox !!!!

[@greenwave819]

Noooooooo!!

[@Christopher_Giustolisi]

These storm drops are so frustrating to watch. One or two spore colonies per base probably cost less than all the dead drones. Add a sunken and dark templars aren´t a problem anymore. I don´t understand why so many Zerg players refuse to invest in at least some static defense. You don´t have to build spore city but one or two per base is a good investment

[@ObeliskM]

one spore would not stop drops

[@Christopher_Giustolisi]

@@ObeliskM Shure, no matter how many spores, with enough shuttles you can still drop but it´s a lot more difficult if something is shooting at the shuttle.

[@ObeliskM]

@@Christopher_Giustolisi one spore is just a waste of money, shuttle in hands of skilled player would not die to it

[@Christopher_Giustolisi]

@@ObeliskM It doesn´t make it impossible. There´s no defense that can´t be broken and no strategy is perfect but it definitely makes it harder. One spore costs 175 minerals, including the drone. If one isn´t enough, build two. That´s like 7 drones worth of minerals. What´s the alternative? Keeping two or 3 hydras at every base? That also won´t deter a skilled player.

[@ObeliskM]

@@Christopher_Giustolisi scourges are much better counter to shuttles. Do you think pros are stupid? They are not. if they do not use smth, there is a reason behind that. It means they tried that and found it suboptimal.

[@CrowbarKogut]

Protos so op

[@user-iu1ru1qz7u]

You mean, despite losing a match where they had the upper hand in for a very long time? Lol.

[@CrowbarKogut]

Look how good Snow is in utilising the reavers n the fact balls do full dmg do darkswarms and storms overcome any upgrades as well is hilarious

[@serioussilliness2064]

lmao

[@beslemeto]

How come Snow is so good and did not win an ASL?

[@CharlesNichols-hj5vq]

Cuz he beats all kinds of legends... he's elite but may be hitting his peak...it's so hard to win ASL anyway... Can't say a player is mediocre just for not being an ASL champion

[@beslemeto]

@@CharlesNichols-hj5vq I did not say such think! But we saw he can lose as well anyway...

[@gasstationpeanuts1814]

He would have won quite handily if SoulKey wasn't standing in his way. Bad luck for a protoss to go up against the greatest macro zerg of all time that late in ASL.

[@CharlesNichols-hj5vq]

@@gasstationpeanuts1814 my primitive understanding of brood war says this...Terran better against zerg...zerg better against protoss...protoss better against Terran... strange how even at pro levels...map depending of course... that's strangely true

[@beslemeto]

@@CharlesNichols-hj5vq My understanding is that Terran is best against anything! Protoss and Zerg are same level...

[@tylerwinkle323]

i get the feeling fp is intentionally caster cursing so we'd get annoyed and watch more

[@FalconPaladin]

Haha, nope, not intentionally caster cursing, accidentally caster cursing. :D

[@jericho2480]

I should have not watched this...
