2:18:40 _"Bisu, the Patriarchy Protoss, taking out Queen!"_ hahaha, amazing call.

[@MundaneDave]

"Squeeze as much orange out of the juice as possible" "That's a tough nut to swallow" Xun introducing us to the most interesting British one-liners

[@denzelnolet]

Holllyyyyy that Bisu v Soma match. Even got the clapper from Saiyan For Zerg, getting high supply in some ways is a huge disadvantage because you need to be so on top of your control grouping and army movement. Right when Protoss smell weakness, they go for the killing blow

[@russinlaesk1]

Laughed out loud at the Operah "you get a storm! you get a storm!" :D

[@SaiyanKCM]

Snowpra Freewin

[@somecooney5304]

Yeah this channel is becoming a go-to. Keep it up, lads!!

[@janpaulbusch1437]

Honestly game two appeared like the clash of big AIs!! The relentless clash going on and on and on.

[@MundaneDave]

Great semifinal. A couple of crazy comebacks this week. Thanks Saiyan & Xun!

[@jacktopia]

I haven't finished the series yet but man Bisu v Soma on Dark Origin was so satisfying... I was really REALLY starting to get pissed at ZvP imba... but hey nice game from the winner ;)

[@Kobubu]

amazing cast guys, I'd beed watchin casts in Korean for years but recently started to prefer your casts. ps also thank you for spoiler block in the end

[@GK-gc9cv]

Hero vs snow was insane! Even very late into the game I still had no clue who was gonna win, could have gone either way

[@simonsaysgg]

Bisu vs Soma, crazy game. Soma's built definitely on point and very irritating for his opponents.

[@wilted_kale]

These casts are excellent! Loved this KCM. PvZ is great

[@richard3706]

xun talking about best in the way of a silverback gorilla is the funniest stuff, keep it up guys.

[@Ingsoc519]

1:28:44 I love how you acknowledge what you said.

[@11_Hashtagged_11]

dig the new dbz opening xD best one yet

[@quanang8816]

man, this semi final is crazeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[@janpaulbusch1437]

35:31 upgraded archon range

[@MARPSTE]

lol yeah it looks like the archon produced the psionic storm

[@JDog-bq5kw]

Great games!

[@allydea]

1:53:09 Yeah, man, I totally agree. P is so effing easy and overpowered. Z has to show amazing skill just to stand a chance at all-killing.

[@thezeus18]

It was a movie about American bombers in World War II and the gallant men who flew them. Seen backwards by Billy, the story went like this: American planes, full of holes and wounded men and corpses took off backwards from an airfield in England. Over France, a few German fighter planes flew at them backwards, sucked bullets and shell fragments from some of the planes and crewmen. They did the same for wrecked American bombers on the ground, and those planes flew up backwards to join the formation. The formation flew backwards over a German city that was in flames. The bombers opened their bomb bay doors, exerted a miraculous magnetism which shrunk the fires, gathered them into cylindrical steel containers , and lifted the containers into the bellies of the planes. The containers were stored neatly in racks. The Germans below had miraculous devices of their own, which were long steel tubes. They used them to suck more fragments from the crewmen and planes. But there were still a few wounded Americans though and some of the bombers were in bad repair. Over France though, German fighters came up again, made everything and everybody as good as new. When the bombers got back to their base, the steel cylinders were taken from the racks and shipped back to the United States of America, where factories were operating night and day, dismantling the cylinders, separating the dangerous contents into minerals. Touchingly, it was mainly women who did this work. The minerals were then shipped to specialists in remote areas. It was their business to put them into the ground, to hide them cleverly, so they would never hurt anybody ever again.

[@SaiyanKCM]

What the heck man hahahahaha

[@thezeus18]

there's some extra backwards bit on the end of the video @@SaiyanKCM

[@SaiyanKCM]

@@thezeus18 I got the joke lol

[@denzelnolet]

Bro those SNOWSTORMS in the snow vs hero game, dang. I literally thought he'd lose so many times that game

[@MrCantStopTheRobot]

Game #2 was DISGUSTING for that and I loved every second of it.

[@anonymousAJ]

g2 I would have liked to see spore+lurker at the expansions when he had a lot of economy; it's incredibly tough defense

[@Wheatsolo]

I hope you never get rid of your intros

[@TheAlexfortin]

Oprah in the house….a first in StarCraft history

[@SaiyanKCM]

Snowpra winfree

[@fangedcow12345]

Protoss needs a buff vs Zerg. Make corsairs take 3 scourge to kill.

[@Unicronilogical]

Watch the recent ASL ZvP action & then get back to us on this 😅

[@azorthegreat2112]

Ggs

[@InturnetHaetMachine]

Great Semi, great cast. **Spoilers** It was really good to see Bisu playing out of his mind. Bisuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[@allydea]

Yeah, but PvZ is such a BS matchup. Great games regardless!

[@willf6856]

great games. soulkey is unreal.

[@MrCantStopTheRobot]

SPOILER QUESTION: . . . . Why didn't Bisu ever take bottom-right quadrant in the last game?

[@SaiyanKCM]

not sure. I think it would have been a better base to take. highground easier to defend

[@Artas1984]

I am having a mental trying to understand what the FUCK was YSC doing in this lineup, and not Mini... Protoss logic: ''let's compromise ourselves by sending a low tier pro vs. LITERAL top 4 zergs of the world.. Duh...

[@azorthegreat2112]

Screen away? $omeone is playing basketball and chess

[@egama9360]

Protoss needs a patch on goons or reavers. The race is clearly not balanced in comparison to the other two with these many evolutions of the game. Sad to see SC1 turn into ZvZ and TvT only.

[@specialize.5522]

2 DT rush get F*k'd, Z takes true skill.

[@GK-gc9cv]

Spoiler Not gonna lie around the 2 hour mark I seriously thought you put in an hour long 3 game antispoiler

[@SaiyanKCM]

glad you hung in there?

[@egama9360]

Broodwar will die if they don't finally fix Protoss. Watch.

[@utarian7]

Hydra bust is so broken it's sad. BW is starting to suck watching the bust win over and over.

[@MundaneDave]

It feels like the whole PvZ meta needs a new approach. Every single game, P is playing reactively to Zerg's game. It wasn't always like that years ago with corsair/reaver, 1-gate tech plays, and 2-gate zealot rushes

[@utarian7]

Nail on the head. There's literally no proactive strategies. Because it's 100% reactive, it relies on constant scouting merely for the chance of survival. @@MundaneDave

[@utarian7]

Here's how broken hydra bust is. Succeeds = zerg wins or devastates. Fake bust = zerg gets huge advantage because toss has to build 5 extra cannons in case it's real. Fail = no probs just enter mid game. @@MundaneDave

[@MARPSTE]

I agree with Dave. I think the meta needs to shift. Protoss could stop going corsairs every game and mix it up with extra grounds units sometimes.

[@utarian7]

If there's no corsair, you get raped by muta. Nothing counters muta other than either corsair, or LOTS of templar, or templar + dark arch. Mutas come out so quick that you can barely get an archon by that time, and pros can micro vs archon such that it can't even get one hit off. The game's imbalanced and bunk for P. It's a TvZ game. Problem with no patching. @@MARPSTE

[@maureyspencer658]

wtf is going on at the end of the video??????

[@SaiyanKCM]

its an anti spoiler so you dont know when the series ends based on the video length

[@tastytots]

really loud intro

[@SaiyanKCM]

seriously? I turned it down way below our voice volume. I will lower it further just in case

[@allydea]

_really AWESOME intro!_ There, I fixed it for you. 🙂

[@mindyalexander3357]

Who is this, not one of my usuals . Don't know how you ended up on my algorithm but thank you algorithm good stuff brother
