[@skyvipers]

Don't let this comment distract you from the fact that Artosis built a cloaked Wraith for the single purpose to kill off a low-health pylon, the original Artosis Pylon.

[@FlymanMS]

“It’s not about victory. It’s about sending the message”

[@Radii_DC]

Classic sunken colony fallacy at work...

[@stephencaron2862]

My favorite Artosis story.

[@justanobody0]

did he research cloak just for that one wraith?

[@skyvipers]

@@justanobody0 the legend himself says so, driven solely by anger and spite for the failed 1st attack

[@zuphix1802]

"You can't make a zergling-tight wall here" 2 minutes later FlaSh makes a zergling-tight wall

[@Materialist39]

CEREAL

[@ThisNameIsBanned]

Its only "impossible" till Flash does it.

[@GeneralFatman27]

The key word here is that YOU can't make that zergling tight wall, but Flash can do whatever he wants.

[@ildar.ishalin.chelovek]

And instantly dies anyway, lol

[@varenbob]

He isn't called the best gamer of all time for no reason 😂😂😂

[@73Arathorn]

I actually like seeing all-ins, whether they work or not, they're a fully legit part of the SC strategy scene and not seeing them makes some casts feel empty. So I say, keep showing them!

[@Pangora2]

It helps add depth to the strategy. "Why can't you just X?" You can respond with the All-In that shows why not. Its one thing to say it could happen and another to show it.

[@grudley]

yeah, i wish arty didn't second guess himself like that. "not necessarily the best games" nah man, these are good too! this too is what starcraft is about!

[@Luisml8]

i want to see a lurker all in vs Terran to see how they manage that.

[@vavohaho9107]

Especially the semi-all-ins!

[@tehvolka]

Agreed.

[@ThunderChickenBucket]

arty's hate of fighting spirit gives me chills

[@sleeper1855]

That quick pivot from attacking one depot to the other was hilarious. Actually a brilliant move

[@bradleyakulov3618]

6:08 "The only thing you ever really put HERE next to a command center is a barracks as a little sim city" ... NO ARTOSISUUUUUU, you also put comsats there.

[@BrimozDDdDdD]

Imagine if this was Artosis' SCVs dancing around instead of repairing the depot. I think he would explode into a thousand pieces.

[@FlymanMS]

Flash is such an optimiser that he even optimises the time to say gg when the game is lost.

[@SchemingGoldberg]

Flash calculating the optimal gg time down to the 0.0000001 second. Chills.

[@TheNekruss]

I wanna see Flash play against Light so the matchup could be called 'Flashlight.'

[@Figgy20000]

I want my Flesh to touch Light so it would be well, you know...

[@codingsafari]

@@Figgy20000 I see where you going but this is pretty shallow. Flesh touching light, doesn't even make sense.

[@justanobody0]

well, as a big fan of star wars for the sake of this comment I want starcraft player snow to play speed, so we can have snowspeed (as in the star wars vehicle the snowspeeder)

[@DirkyDiggz]

Light whooped Flash they other day

[@sneakyknight]

How about rain vs. snow?

[@JDirty-w-tha-30]

Damn! Really wanted to see that first game defense work out! Would've been absolutely crazy. Got greedy not pulling more SCVs it seems. But looking at the minerals he was struggling to keep making marines while paying for all the repairs.

[@vavohaho9107]

On Dominator's uneven ground, Where gas is far and walls unsound, Flash's Command, a hasty start, Against a Zergling, torn apart. A nine-pool rush, a cruel surprise, No SCVs to equalize. A tight wall's trick, a bitter jest, The Emperor's fall, put to the test. On Fighting Spirit, a different scene, A bunker built, a fast +1 keen. But Lings swarm forth, a tide of red, Flash's defenses, almost dead. Turrets rise, against the foe, Mutas descend, the pressure grows. A desperate lunge, a bunker's fall, But Flash's grip, contains it all. Three games we saw, three swift defeats, Aggression's dance, and bitter sweets. No epic clashes, long and grand, Just all-ins quick, across the land.

[@gaborfabian1239]

I love your poem. You should be an official chronicler. 🙂

[@MattLyte]

This poem cured my diabetes

[@BobfromSydney]

This looks like AI poetry but it's so specific to BW terminology that I know you wrote it yourself.

[@vavohaho9107]

@@BobfromSydney i just copy pasted the transcript into AI, but thought it was fun enough to share. So essentially it's written by Arty hahaha

[@BobfromSydney]

@@vavohaho9107 That's interesting! so the AI was able to use BW terminology taken from the transcript. That makes a lot of sense. I felt like the poem had an AI vibe but I was thrown off by the accurate BW jargon.

[@billjameson1254]

Oh sure, flash builds a wall it’s all Gosu and gets an artosis video. I do it and I’m ’need to come out of my room’ and ‘let other people in, please.’ The double standard makes me sick.

[@OrvinReyes]

Who are you?

[@somekindoflandcow]

Command Center wall-in... I'm not surprised it'd be Flash who thought that up I suppose!

[@heyimSkyee]

Flash is giving me CHILLS

[@nakatanakata2665]

I was shouting OMG! What is this?! OMG! For the whole 3 minutes. Literally! Not kidding.

[@nioofida256]

Command Center wall? No no no. Chills Center wall.

[@RomanHofstätter-i6b]

Hot Flash gives me chills

[@csucskos]

I play zerg, where wall-ins are not really common (yeah, yeah, against protoss you have to put the sunken in a good position), but that wall-in gave me literal chills!

[@Tyreeklol]

welcome back to flash casts

[@Agagdhshh]

2:54 artosis on his honeymoon😊

[@bendangeruss501]

I enjoy these videos of quick games. I would love to see a video of Artosis explaining or answering our questions. Like why is Fighting Spirit so bad? What does turn rate mean?

[@robertwalko2169]

I would like to see this also! Fighting spirit is "bad" because it's no longer balanced. For example, at the 7 o clock there's no space around the minerals at the natural minerals which makes it difficult to build turrets and kill mutas. If you get that base as TvZ you're kind of effed. No clue about turn rate

[@bendangeruss501]

@ thanks.

[@cvasirocket1401]

The title led me to the scouting SCV of Flash tripping Artosis's Marine and then all of Artosis's SCVs go on strike and leave the map.

[@oguzcanoguz5977]

I cannot believe the greed of flash the first game, he was soooo far ahead and he did not just sent 2 extra scv's to enable full repairs for both supply depots. He was soo head with a CC first opening that he could have sent all his SCV's until the all in was held and still be greatly ahead.

[@dylaninnes8541]

Great analyses and casting thank you

[@BenjaminGlatt]

I think the reason 3p maps are so dynamic is that they force the conflict over resources in the midgame.

[@hemmydall]

The all-ins are always intense. Even with that depot going down, a bit of micro and he could have stopped the lings from getting to his marines with the scvs. That was a tight rope walk for both sides.

[@Brandywine53]

I see flash. I click video. I'm a simple man.

[@richmusick4881]

That production value on this channel!

[@dungeonsynthzine]

Artosis vs Flash when?

[@RomanHofstätter-i6b]

He will teach Flash the art of Artosis Pylon.

[@mattatuckmanful]

I want to see some games on that old map called lost Temple, with the island expos in the corners.

[@spyemanciator7148]

these matches looked like actual street fights. dudes show up and one side wins

[@hydragamermv3052]

OMG look at Flash's brilliant Chills-incoming!

[@godtiergiraffe864]

the first game was like watching a video about those lame triassic dinosaurs that would eventually evolve into t rexes

[@billdewall6152]

You're talking mad shit for somebody in thagomizer range

[@Shawn_A_BJJ]

The factory may have been anticpating a Zealot-style lurker all-in follow-up

[@AntonyWest]

I'll take these two really interesting all-ins over any long normal game.

[@benverret7968]

4:43 "There's not a whole lot to learn from that previous game." Well, I learned that you can win against the best Starcraft player to have ever lived by simply attack moving Zerglings into the opponent's base.

[@klas-666]

Sneaky twofer by Arty? Extra chills

[@NutshotsX]

*Chills intensify*

[@OrbitalFoxzorz]

Back in 2009 on us west id host 1v1 plays obs games and id get artuser and 14u[west] join and 1v1 eachother quite a few times. Never knew they were "pros" but everytime id watch them fight id think damn these guys are next level. So interesting to me that i still see people from back then still going at it to this day.

[@Picaroon9]

Flash's SCV being a total bro at @2:53 is why he is the greatest.

[@JustinHampton-l5j]

1 scv away from holding that

[@Duneraven]

Well, you could say that was over in a flash

[@valentinomanontroppo4675]

Arty could you cast a game on the old Lost Temple map and talk about it?

[@phoenixlich]

Zerg is so HYPE!!!

[@gaborfabian1239]

I am no longer ashamed. Top of the world player, Flash himself dies to a 9-pool ling flood just like my lowly casual scrub self. I feel relieved.

[@thuperman5228]

Hard to impress me without seeing a nuclear launch detected

[@mikelnazkauta1317]

Damn, that was some great gameplay

[@draiganlefebvre453]

Does anyone else wish there was more real estate in arttys vids? More like asl style?

[@goodguycwyzz4768]

All 3 games were sloppy, but we will take what Flash games we can get

[@karmicpunch]

I think I've seen these games in tommy StarCraft channel couple days ago

[@madklowndisease1]

find you a girl that loves you as much as artosis hates fighting spirit

[@amauta5]

Oh man he just needed to move the scv

[@RomanHofstätter-i6b]

Flashchills!

[@dirkauditore8413]

Arty just wants to see big macro games every time

[@STEALTHWEEABOO]

9am sharp it is.

[@brazilstreets7955]

Flash would have held it

[@ismaelgonzalezvazquez8407]

Anyone knows when ASL or SSL 2025 is going to be? I have plans to visit korea this year and would like to watch in the studio if possible.

[@chongli297]

Not the best in terms of macro games but I loved them as a nice changeup. Plus learning that a CC could be used for the zergling-tight wall-in was worth its weight in gold. Does anyone know if you can learn these things from the map editor without having to play custom games?

[@TheSuperappelflap]

You can make a map in the map editor and put a bunch of buildings in different configurations and then start the game and try to walk units through those buildings.

[@ChokedByHalo1]

All-in city!

[@mormorgranat]

Soooo greedy by Flash not to bring tons of SCVs to defend that

[@ezpz2680]

That one man in the missle turret > mutas

[@muscovyducks]

good times

[@CommonSenseIsGettingRarer]

if he had fixed that second supply depot just a bit faster he would’ve won

[@jamesgraessle7295]

1:23 so light has been going no wall in, and barracks directly north of the ramp, flush with the north edge of the map, and turrets directly to the west of the ramp, covering the ramp, barracks, and right hand mineral patches. it seems to work ok for him. 2:37 yo, is that ling tight with the CC? 2:54 wtf it is!! dude, does flash just win, right now? he is pulling a lot to repair here, but you're never tearing down that cc, and Z went 9 pool hatch and hasn't even started a gas yet, and he's mining with 8 drones!!! wat!! it was 9 pool, extractor trick, drone scout, hatch on 9 drones mining, and he gets the drone scout walled in and killed, and he's not even making a 9th drone yet. you can't even really build a gas here! between a drone to build the extractor and the 3 to mine it, you're talking about having only 4 drones mining + whatever you can make as the gas builds! this looks absolutely terrible for Z! 3:48 oops rofl. don't lose the depot! that's really cool, i'm pretty sure that will easily hold an overpool tho! and it seemed holdable against that 9 pool, just didn't quite get enough repairs going. maybe needs to add a second rax too, idk. anyway, on to minstrel! oh this is fighting spirit. fair enough. 7:30 ooh, 3 speedlings in the main is painful. this could be what decides the game. if flash cleans these efficiently, i think he's way ahead, but they also have the potential for game ending damage if he can't. 8:11 ok this is really cool. he starts the turrets SUPER early. much earlier than he would ordinarily need to, because he knows that they will likely be delayed. 6:38 important to note, this was almost certainly going to be 4 rax +1 from flash, but the ling flood just means "i don't need 4 raxes. i just need to not die to the lings that are already out and the mutas that are morphing RIGHT now. we don't need a lot of marines LATER. we need a good marine number as SOON as possible." 9:48 i kinda love the 3 marines running down the ramp, ready to hide in the bunker. 10:24 factory starts, very confident move from flash. GG! Thanks RT!

[@Pancalorian]

such a shame that he didn't hold in the first game

[@MJ.Actual]

ive almost killed a nexus with DT drop so built a second shuttle with 4 zealots to get that sucker. Won the game

[@baloonfart8082]

FLASH BABY!!

[@Luisml8]

i want a game like this where zerg rushes to all in lurker lings instead of muta... vs Terran go and fine some games.

[@XtReMz98]

Flash WoUlD hAvE wOn!

[@chocapix999]

So we had 3 flash games alright, but what about the second 3 flash games?

[@WitlessSod]

I don't think he knows about second3 Flash games, Pip.

[@Timic83tc]

The chills that crashed sc2 servers

[@Ben-1337]

Good

[@ZKEEKZ]

Artosis and Flash should just kiss now? yes?

[@radred609]

That first game somehow managed to simultaneously be interesting, then boring, then extra interesting, and then extra boring. All within the space of 4 minutes x'D

[@thehealthynewfie]

My morning coffee was getting chilled quick

[@mantistoboggan2676]

Love Zerg :)

Can’t have both 7:14 and 7:20 .

[@Endlessmelody4]

Word ✌️

[@MartíriodaVilla]

RT please cast more cheesy games. I don't wanna learn. I don't even want to understand what is happening. I just like to see unit go boom.

[@farbabgabe]

❤

[@nicknac93]

As a more casual SC fan, why is fighting spirit so hated? People are just bored of it?

[@AdultSupervision.]

Why didnt zerg just kill the engineering bay in game 3 😂😂😂

[@KhrissZaitsev]

Instead of Opener , why not call it Opening, just like in Chess where you have Opening, Middle Game and Endgame. ?🤔🤔🤔🤔And, in Chess there are tons of Openings as well.

[@stevemattero1471]

Respect to ArtUser... if you take on Flash i think being aggressive this way is the only way to go

[@katoy9976]

Kim ulan bu Flash?

[@iangallacher6608]

Second. Kinda like first, but underrated

[@FlymanMS]

Kinda like first Starcraft, but not.

[@RomanHofstätter-i6b]

definitely underrated

[@seankrolyk5814]

Dont know what happened there in game 2, but holy shit artosis you were moving the screen around so quickly and rapidly it made me nauseous. I watch every video you upload, but that was the worst observing ive ever seen you do. Just an FYI on the final minutes of that game 2.

[@somecooney5304]

Every Broodwar game should have Zerg in it.

[@FW2F]

Yeah ist smart but 10+ years into terran scbw ist Not THAT smart

[@Starch1b2c3d4a]

Not really that impressive if these guys are playing the same maps over and over. Isnt there a little more variety and handicaps like limited resources in some of these games? New maps, less resources, more unforgiving terrain?

[@zackknopp8681]

FIRST! YES

[@rightwingofthenuthouse]

Another certified classic from Flash
