[@WinterStarcraft]

Today's NEW strategy (clickbait explanation): Full info under "read more" to avoid spoilers, but this style reminded me of the American Hero Neeb when he was dominating Zerg with his aggressive opener into macro Protoss vs Zerg! MaNa's One Two Punch - working title: Void Ray scouting denial into a very quick 3 base Chargelot timing with +1 (helps a ton against Ling/Roach). Followed up with 2+ Robo Immortal to counter the inevitable Roaches while aggressively expanding. Still has options to go Phoenix or Storm (or maybe Collosi) if Zerg ends up heading for Mutas or Hydra instead. I don't think it will work everytime, but obviously is super strong against Zergs who are almost trained to be dealing with Blink or Archon timings instead of the quick chargelots. Reynor gets bamboozled by MaNa's "greed" without realizing he's building an attack behind it! Thanks for watching, make sure to smash the like button and we will feed Jimmy sometime next week!

Protoss vs Zerg is my favorite matchup to watch you cast

[@VeryBadPlayerTV]

Can you link the sound track you use for these casts?

[@joshmartin5537]

Change my name on super pylon+ to big Jiggy please 😊

[@augustsmith9553]

why are you talking like that?

[@yugonostalgia8961]

Damn. That last fight in game three was a masterclass - army composition, positioning, and micro all coming together in a devastating reversal, 10/10

[@user-ym9dz5uy2v]

War of the Worlds death ball xD

[@rcraces1]

was looking for this comment 🤣‼️

[@Gredddfe]

Game 1 I just saw a 4-base early void ray into chargelot timing into immortal/archon push into losing all the chargelots and getting the archons caught behind the immortals. Damn MaNa that was rough!

[@notcreative2256]

Reynor kinda threw those two games, especially the last one where the last fight he lost his 13 clumped together Lurkers that were all alone without any protection. And another big fight earlier when he tried to end the game and 50 lings got static fielded, plus fighting through a narrow point into a concave. Oh well shit happens I guess

[@cosmostumpf4135]

I like how non-standard Mana plays. Mid fight stasis, zealot based strats, mass immortals. He won with creativity rather than perfect macro and tempest disruptor kind of play

[@Jurand80]

Special tactics. Make base and defense it (c) WhiteRa

Apparently his account was hacked and he's in the process of recovering it. Terrible timing (unlike his builds in this series). Bookmark it here: kzbin.info should be back soon™

[@Cellus5000]

Game 1 made me see why Winter gets so mad when Toss players lose their Oracles early

[@TCYValorant]

"what a clusterfuck this fight is" my thoughts exactly XD

[@shootzmcgootz5894]

3 voids w/ 100+ combined kills. Unsung heroes...

[@TheLPRnetwork]

5:34 Best "Oh No." I've ever heard from Brenda

[@skipperg4436]

Finally Winter named the real issue with PvZ which is criminal lack of build variety. For comparison, in PvT there are 6 of just openers which all have different - and viable - follow-ups.

THE AMOUNT OF NEW INSANE STRATEGIES ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND > HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WRITE THEM DOWN IN MY NEW PRIMA STRATEGY GUIDE

[@TheHalogen131]

Honestly, I didn't expect MaNa to prevail. Don't get me wrong, he is a great player, but Reynor is a fucking beast. Well done!

[@nathanielnizard2163]

how to beat zerg with protos? 600 apm with perfect oracle and prism micro during 12mn fights. EASY.

[@untossablesalad4423]

Was very impressed by Mana in this series! I think game 3 was a bit of a throw from Reynor but the way Mana capitalized on it was fantastic

[@DekayVods]

wish we got a mirror match a little more. They are very interesting to me.

[@fernandoxavier3089]

After watching the latest Dark game against Hero, Reynor feels like bronze league heroes.

[@jerubaal101]

Remember when they told us if you just keep pressure on zerg and force them to make units, they won't be able to get their economy going?

[@admiralmurphy1543]

I love the Zealot play honestly. Maybe not for every game but its so nice to see them pulling this much weight.

[@martykowal]

im happy to see mana win vs reynor. imo mana is underrated

Why don't Protoss players go for +3 shields? I rarely see it.

[@ArBee123]

YOU! SHALL! NO-oh no what are those??

[@WolfGangDealers]

For a second, I saw only Reynor's card and thought "Oh is he trying out protoss again?" Only to be surprised and see MaNa. This is going to be a fun vid!

[@HiroTeaShi]

Kind of hurts to see mana float over 1k when severely down in army supply. I first noticed it in game 2. I wonder if that could have turned game 2 around, though that split roach ravager army was very scary...

[@zapoyou2]

Holy shit these were amazing games.

[@freshsmilely]

even tho the void rays did get put on the back burner; they put in a lot of work this series. a banger of a series.

[@RandiOW]

Games like this make me log in

[@IsThisHandleTaken]

God damn, at 42:49 of game 3 it was 13 army supply for Mana vs 80 of Reynor. What an absolute BEAST of a comeback.

[@SerbanOprescu]

This fight was titanic.

[@ryanaegis3544]

Coming back to SC2 after two years off, and it is good to see names I actually know. Mana was my favorite back in the day, partially because he actually beat the AI, but also for his blink stalker/disruptor play. So glad he is making a mark again.

[@miles8385]

Tryna avoid spoilers with this comment, so ill be a bit vague. Not to detract from the winner of game 3, who played excellently, but I think a lot of that win at the end was more the other player snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. A couple of micro errors led to the loss of the most vital chunk of the army, not using a buffer for the long ranged units, not making proper use of the spellcasters. In all fairness, there was a lot of shit going on, so he had reason to be distracted, trying to micro across effectively 4 bases simultaneously. So props to the attacker for excellent splitting of units to hit multiple locations and chase down scattered army elements. Also excellent decision making, recognizing that he was in a position to win after catching that big chunk, and knowing he didn't really have the luxury of backing off. It was a gamble to press the attack, since if his opponent pulled it together the game would immediately end, but he clearly knew it was do-or-die at that point.

Mana finally get rewards for his zealot only challenges :))) his zealot timimg amd warp prism micro is god tier :)))

[@coololi07]

game 1 was so weird it felt like reynor had no plan once he actually got to hive tech

[@ashtonsmith9682]

almost like he never was actually that good and only had a good win in zvp from spamming OP banes that toss has no counter for.

[@alltat]

@@ashtonsmith9682 You do realize that Reynor is a former world champion, right?

[@coololi07]

@@ashtonsmith9682 cope dude. his mid/early game play is amazing. And he is still incredible with lurkers. He is intentionally trying new lategame strategies sometimes they just look a mess though like this game. Sometimes yall forget these people arent like constantly learning/developing?!

[@ashtonsmith9682]

@@coololi07 he isn't experimenting. He just isnt good. He won because of imba mid game bane spam that pinned protoss to 3-4 bases while zerg could easily take 5-6. His late game play is atrocious and that is why he cries that toss is imba all the time. He isn't close to serral level. and he still plays zerg which is the strongest race by far even with all the zerfs.

[@thefalsehero]

42:50 Only a zerg can be up 80 supply, nearly doubling that of their opponent, and still somehow lose the game LOL

[@cataliniancu5318]

Nah, that's because stuff was in production. By the actual engagement, the army supply was very close.

[@shibomi1]

36:28 how cool would it be if immortals could toggle between long range and close range attack? Perhaps when long range mode is active, barrier is disabled and attack speed is a bit slower.

[@yugonostalgia8961]

I think Protoss just needs an anti-air unit that comes out of the robo... immortals & collosi are great but they just cannot deal with medivacs, vikings, and vipers. Stalkers are just not a good unit but they're still protoss's only ground to air option
