White-Ra in a Nutshell

[@floridaboy874]

Why can't everyone have the same attitude as he has? His english might be bad but you can see how kind and friendly he is - that's really heartwarming. Thanks for the video!

[@Razvi]

Such memories... Like many others, I came back to this video because of Starcraft II 10th Anniversary (and ofc, after using White-Ra announcer in-game :P). Time has past and it's been a while since I don't play SC2 like I used to, but the respect and love I have for White-Ra remains unchanged. More GG, more skill!

[@kaltikAFK]

so true...

[@AaronBowley]

WhiteRa was my first favorite SC2 player , I remember the first tournament when TLO was an up and coming random players and they battled vs each other ... it changed my life it was so amazing

[@ranch8674]

have been binging all these "In a nutshell" videos and it feels like this was yesterday and an eternity ago...life is weird.

[@Avean]

If he ever retires, Blizzard should hire him to honor all his years of service. He basicly IS the symbol of Protoss.

[@ryomasjibeng8343]

couldn't agree more

[@hawkeyegough9090]

whitera portrait for sc2!

[@avsbes98]

I know it's been 6 years, but WhiteRa Announcer is coming to SC2

[@Avean]

@@avsbes98 haha thats amazing!

[@TheHawianer]

years later blizzard made him into an announcer

[@GTorrB]

Whem we play We are very disaponited of any lose if you want to make one goal to win You must lose, you can't win all games We are pepole, we make mistakes we are not a computer And if you understand your mistake when you lose you can make analysis of the mistake and continue on to fix it then it becomes no problem more defeats more skills White-Ra -- Always

[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

*more GG more skill

[@eugenijusdolgovas9278]

Great job for making these videos and keeping them uploaded. Even though Your channel didn't pop off - they are a treasure to revisit. Gosh, it's time to download this video so I can watch it 20 years later on my Neural AI VR headset.

[@LanceIxidorr]

the best sc2 nutshell. Very important not lost.

[@sOulbaSe371]

E-sports living legend.

[@giggolo4210]

+Tommy Andretti Very important not loss.

[@Hyperion856]

This makes me want to cry. This game was really something back in WoL...

[@gavinhardison742]

i miss the sc2 scene, there were so many great characters and its unlike any other esports scene today

[@MrBaldwin]

I used to follow the sc2 scene back in the days around 2010 to 2012 when IdrA, Jinro, Naniwa etc was considered the best foreigners man I miss that scene so much it was a blast back then but it's no where close to the same anymore

I was a fan of White Ra. I always rooted for him .(Even though he rarely if ever won the games I watched)

[@Ascendancy-]

@@MrBaldwin yup, rip

[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

well, it still is awesome

[@KTheBoi]

More GG More Skill

[@woohookittys]

Aw this guy seems so awesome

[@sino7980]

he invented being awesome. :D

[@SuperOGArchives]

I still play starcraft to this day and I'll tell you. It ain't the same anymore. Missed all the good times at events and tourneys. You still get a kick out of the game and GSL but man... Time has passed. All the players I use to love are gone now. Even my favourite teams. The only 2 guys left that makes me want to keep watching and playing is, Artotsis and Tasteless. Without them, I wouldn't feel the same about SC anymore.

[@SNNNKY]

It is 2018 and I am still watching all videos about White-Ra. Being remembered by this way in a sector you were in must be the biggest prize for anyone.

[@ISesseriI]

WHAT THE FUCK IS PLUS 25 UPGRADES? Whitera you brilliant man

[@KafshakTashtak]

"I feel very hard" -WhiteRa.

[@Nihiliste-]

+SAHM LOL DID HE EVER SAY THAT? WTF

[@KafshakTashtak]

Xecutionner2K It was in the video.

[@keionebog]

upgreyds make ))

[@Biedrik4]

SPECIAL TACTICS!

[@Joe22c]

watched this a few times months ago but I came back. The end montage still makes my eyes watery

[@DirtyDD2077]

Watching this in 2020 makes me miss everything about being a kid, playing SC2... just not having one single care in the world. Now we’ve lost Geoff, my favorite game is dead, life just sucks now.

[@itchin4scratches]

is it though?

[@DirtyDD2077]

@@itchin4scratches ... yeah

[@itchin4scratches]

@@DirtyDD2077 bunch of players and games for both versions, i think i saw 30k plus on bw and 20k or so on sc2 in the middle of the night, seems nice ;)

[@Sunkan86]

This video comes to show that amazing people don't complicated words to be understood and loved. All it takes is passion and compassion.

[@pudge1446]

The David Copperfield comment makes me laugh so hard every time XD

[@kejiang6145]

The TOTAL OPPOSITE of Idra :D

[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

yep

[@TheMerkalicious]

I don't always get nerd chills but when I do, it is because of the montage of White-Ra

[@SoulRippster]

What happened to the scene man... it used to be so much fun...

[@I_II_II_IL]

People stopped playing.. unfirtunately

[@PortalHoar]

truth. makes me sad

[@I_II_II_IL]

There are still a bunch of fun people, Demuslim, InControl, Snake, Totalbiscuit, FalconPaladin is doing daily casts of pro and community games, a new series of vids called "sc2 wtf" started a bunch if time ago (its basically "Dota 2 wtf" but with Sc2). The game's still alive, just much less. Also patch 3.8 was... bad. People will probably quit because of it.

[@PortalHoar]

Yeah I know there are still people involved, I follow TB a decent bit still, just the content from SC has kind of lost its flare to me. And yeah blizzard has a knack for putting out patches like that

[@I_II_II_IL]

Hopefully they'll fix it fast. I doub it though.

[@rosenborg2006]

Probably the best video on youtube. Please keep them coming!

[@SuperBroProject]

Always remember to make expand and defence it. NEVER FORGET TO DEFENCE IT!

[@QuantumBraced]

What a gentleman, the SC2 community needs more people like him.

[@HGDfan]

Gotta say, I am one of WhiteRa's biggest fans, I have followed him since Starcraft 1, it's to bad I have never met him, it would be such and honor. Hopefully he comes to Blizzcon, then maybe I can see him there! :)

[@PlanetaJuegosPC]

since i heard White Ra "more GG, more skill" speech i play much better, because i focus in improving and not just in winning, now i learn alot from my mistakes and try to fix it like white ra would say XD , i also learn from my good plays and always try to teek it so it is even better, and no just SC2 , i`ve become pretty good at AoE3 thanks to White Ra speech, he is a very motivating person

[@timoj1044]

I think his special tactic is to make me smile x3

[@xnlineghxst]

the ending made me tear up in happiness:')

[@ulfy01]

Man. How I love those "in a nutshell" videos.

[@endre1989]

I love this guy so much.

[@CityState_of_Valletta]

Him and Idra would get along great XD Randomly clicked on this video and was glad to learn the meaning of 'speshul tactiks'.

[@Man_3336]

That photo of incontrol with Idra at his knees is hilarious LOL

[@DTProtoss]

White-ra is NOT only a GREAT player, but he IS a role model, a person EVERYONE should aspire to be, he is MANLY, he is Good mannered, he can defend himself as we saw in that one game when he responded, he is THE PERFECT human being. In an interview they asked white ra the 2 reasons why he plays in order of importance, number 1 for his family, number 2 because he loves starcraft. ALL HAIL whitera, the perfect human being ^^

[@panicprone85]

that pic of incontrol and idra at 20 seconds is pretty hilarious

[@Diamontspliter]

the only protoss player i dont can hateQ.Q i miss him

[@CreatorGX]

Dammit, I was starting to get teary toward the end there. He's a really good pro-gamer, and such an awesome person. TuT Thanks for the manner nutshell, Lightgamete. It made my day better.

[@remodehemo]

jesus christ especially the end of the video is a MASTER PIECE. and i'm not fucking kidding here. the atmosphere, the music, the editing and of course white-ra. beautiful!

[@supermot34]

Reavers in SC1 had an upgrade that made their scarabs do +25 damage

[@ThisMissJackson]

I wish you big health!

[@Skizzaable]

i feel very "hard" oh my gaawwwwd still laughing xDDDD hahahahaha

[@ben9090210]

Love all the "in a nutshell" vids man. Keep up the good work : )

[@acasialee1204]

White ra and spanishwa were the reason i watched sc2 back in WoL days

[@igor972]

+acasia lee OMG, Spanishiwa... he was a very good player. Early defense only with queens. #goodTimes

[@TedstaTV]

LOVE you're videos, keep posting these nutshell ones!!!

[@bjovers1]

He is my inspiration behind playing protoss from sc2 beta

[@rangedfighter]

at 2:30 the 25 upgrade was the reaver dmg upgrade guys :D no need for questions marks all over the place

[@poppanaattori89]

The picture in the top right at 0:15 had me in tears.

[@Fam0usFarm3r]

You truly have a skill for making these.

[@stretch90]

Whitera was so insanely good. He probably could've won a GSL if he kept playing...

[@stretch90]

He was amazing, he could take on all of the top tier Koreans.

[@daniellastname3935]

No one plays SC2 anymore it sux, I played it for 4yrs made it to Plat through serious hard work, practice everyday and then one expansion comes out and I had to go random cuz it was so unbalanced and just like Riot it seems like Blizzard does not give a shit about anyones opinions other then pros

[@hawkeyegough9090]

Daniel Rivera that's because the pros play on the highest level and in a game like starcraft you need to listen to them most regarding balance because they know the games better than even the devs

[@daniellastname3935]

Hawkeye Gough funny how they pros are even saying its unbalanced, you see Blizzard has a history of making one race OP for periods of time, Idra said it back in 2012 Zerg was OP but now evryone is saying Terran is OP and as a random player, I have to agree with the pros Terran is OP, but if you need further explanation, terran can just use tier one units throughout a full game,take away the widow mine or play Wings of Liberty which by the way im a diamond in WOL and terran sux without widowmine.

[@Microtardz]

Daniel Rivera Yeah, IdrA also bitched and complained that protoss/terran was OP when they beat him. But lets ignore that. Terran OP? Meh. Widow mines are pretty easy to defeat when you expect them. And lets never mind how strong the zerg actually is right now, what with all the free units. But that's the thing. Terran > Protoss(Sorry, EMP too strong), Protoss > Zerg(Storms galore), Zerg > Terran(My free units are only stopped by tanks). And that limitation to your class is beaten by adapting your strategy and highly skilled play.

[@peteryarak]

wow once in a while you even find gold on youtube really great video!

[@Greendotz]

upgreyds make..... my love for White-Ra is unparalleled

[@SirMango]

Mother Falcon's music fits this video so well.

[@JayhawkJazzy]

Okay, iNcontroL with the mini Idra is the greatest thing I have ever seen.

[@seeker0587]

Man this guy is amazing. Such a super cool dude and not to mention his "special tactic". Keep up the awesome work Whitera. "We make expand then defense it!!!!!!"

[@corvibandit]

This is really one of the most inspiring videos i have ever seen

[@ythsh]

my god I didn't know whitera was such an amazing human being.

[@TehQuinteX]

WhiteRa truly is one of the coolest guys ever. I LOVE how he called a sick fan in hospital!!!!! 100% Respect for this awesome guy, wish i could have 10 seconds speak with him and tell him how awesome he really is.

[@sg-hunter]

no reason to hate this dude. totally good mannered player.

[@OriginalPuro]

I miss watching White-Ra, great person. More GG, more skill.

[@SpySappingMyKeyboard]

Was fully expecting "special tactics" and then the video to end.

[@mikpalmp]

4:48 is the best speech i've ever heard, and i hope everyone learns something from it :)

[@pitsburg91]

MY FAVORITE PLAYER!!!!!!!!!!! Every time Husky and HD posted a match with him I fucking clicked that video at the speed of light, sooooooo much respect for this man, he is the reason why I love the Protoss and why I have a respectful playstyle in any multiplayer game. LONG LIVE WHITE-RA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@phisherPhisher]

imagine the people chanting "idra, idra"....even though the names are phonetically close, still hard to imagine. gj on being awesome, whitera!

[@TheElhessar]

The random shot of WhiteRa shoting the "very old gun" is too funny xD

[@rodrigoapaza8086]

Jsjsjs, que loco lo de las Special Tactics, juro que me mate de risa, yo esperaba que dijera algo super pro y épico, pero bueno, la respuesta fue mejor.

[@AlexTerek]

...Dat photo of idra in incontrols arm... AMAZING

[@MrSpoonfacelol]

I've watched this many times and holy fuck it has to be said after 4:40 when it goes into that scene with WhiteRa talking about how he is sad with the i think violins in background and people chanting WhiteRa is spine shivering, my godness

[@Jaime_Protein_Cannister]

It's fking insane coming from this sort of mentality "more gg more skill" to league where everyone is at each-others throats half the time. It's just insane to think about

[@Vikkouz]

The song is "The Common Hours 2" by "I See Stars" Finally found it after 1h of searching x)

[@Alderianne]

This must be the most inspirational video I have ever watched in my whole life. :')

[@Sonnyrazer]

sometimes, havent seen much lately but he does post videos on occasion since he seems to be on vacation now i think whiterasc or whiterasc2 something like taht is his channel

[@Patton1944]

Oh god... I didn't know how much I missed the old WoL menu UI.

[@Delnoir]

This makes me think back on the first pro StarCraft game I ever watched. WhiteRa vs TLO on Metalopolis. My first exposure to the man. And the rest is history

[@IBlameTheEconomy]

Awesome! Another video! Thank you Lightgamete!

[@mrDorkMatter]

what i love more than whitrea is his special grammar

[@LPElmo]

So normally you make fun of the people in the "in a Nutshell"-videos, but this video is more like a compilation of the brilliance and the gentleness of White-Ra

[@andrewdewaal1]

Awesome work. Really love it. Can't wait for Day9 in a Nutshell!

[@Madnsanity]

Now this is a guy for whom I would cheer at the top of my lungs if I could go to a tourney and root for him.

[@ShiroKage009]

"We have a great strategy today for taking out MC. We're going to use WHITE RA!" Those were the days man, the days when there were foreigners who could give the Koreans a really hard time, and take games off of them.

[@thisissparta4371]

neeb

[@Rmark377]

Love Idra and Innovation in the top right corner

[@TheCozyVoid]

i love WhiteRa so much:] his phone call with the guy in the hospital probably made that fan so happy:] and i know he genuinely does it for that reason, not for money. Such a great humanbeing.

[@HSSLNG]

Awesome video! Keep it coming, Lightgamete

[@Demigodish4o3]

This guy is the reason I keep playing!

[@MuckingFedic]

i truly believe that whitera is by far the most amazing starcraft 2 player in every way shape and form

[@slydog7410]

love these videos. great job on them!

[@OrochiFlamez]

This is why he's my favorite SC player.

[@R89Bredy]

that wasnt a real tournament. it was a voting-thing. just shows that the community is loving whitera :)

[@LTIcombatarms]

I watched this 100 times and still love it!

[@heheitsjohnE]

O_o thats cool, they're actually playing I See Stars in the background :D

[@JustHere4Guides]

loled so hard at that part, the moment was just right ahaha wonder what did the audience think after he said that.."special tactics indeed" :))

[@Rumcajss23]

I miss him so much

[@TheSecretCobra]

Those games at MLG Anaheim last year were so awesome. I was there live :D

[@Alekouzos]

I miss the old days the good sc2 days... Many things happent since then. Its like i am in a different world now.

[@RaterisimoCBA]

"When I starting play ... I very dissapointing and very sad after my lose. If you want to make one goal to win, you must lose. You can´t win all games. We are people, we make mistake. We´re not computer. And if you understand your mistake when you lose you just can make analysis game and continue play try to fix it, and it´s no problem. More GG, more skill." - White-Ra

[@MrAzerua]

The ending is amazing!

[@Lightgamit]

Any other video that can't be found on the credit page is on White-Ra's channel. Thanks for watching guys.

[@Rallezzzz]

i just get so pumped in the end, when he gets the 10-0 and day9 commentates it and you hear the people screaming white-ra :O SO GREAT!

[@FedbergRoland]

Clearly sums up who White-Ra is! Such a nice guy! :)
