[@PiGCasts]

Man this finals really lived up to the hype. Both of these players have the ability to surprise the other with all manner of wild attacks, turned into an incredibly fun series!

I agree, watching hero play is always so hilarious. One moment hes doing the most insane build and microing units everywhere and completely crushes, and the next moment he is doing something just as insane that doesnt work at all and run all his zealots into a sieged terran army before charge is finished. Hes an animal.

[@zalezfromspain]

What most series need two people to cast, you cover in one person. Have really been enjoying what you do over the last year Pig.

[@oktdavid]

In the last GSL, Mary said he has to play aggressive against Hero. He always loses when he plays his turtle style to late game. Totally love it when these two faces each other.

[@sojourner3300]

"My relationship with Starcraft is just a lot deeper than yours" lol, this quote had me crackin up, wins the best SC caster's quote of the year award in my book 😂

[@anotherplatypus]

Pig it's otherwise hard to brring friends to bring friends into this game.... but this casteing.... dude you made it easy... thank you... loves for the game dude.

[@anotherplatypus]

I love the analysis!

[@Cleanpea]

Comment, algorhythmistcs, doing my job. KZbin is doing great for you, PiG! Great cast and HerO is just insane: my favorite player and the happiest comeback from military service

[@PiGCasts]

Cheers mate! :) remember that the most important thing to do to support your fav content creators is actually just watching the entire video from the start to finish! Comments and likes don't really do that much unfortunately

[@Cleanpea]

@@PiGCasts stupid question, does it matter that the finishes completely, to the last second, or is is the runtime overall, that matters? I download every vid on youtube premium, anyways, I know that helps👍

[@PiGCasts]

​@@Cleanpea IIRC downloading a vid on youtube premium makes it count as 100% viewed which is fantastic for creators if true! KZbin's entire business is about getting people to keep watching on their platform, so watching a vid to the last second improves the total watch time and tells YT that the video is enjoyable. Views alone don't mean much because if a viewer leaves after a few seconds YT will think the vid sucks. Overall runtime is dependent on each video so its not really in the viewer's control. I've had many videos where there have been high number of comments than average but low views so I know comments alone don't do much.

[@Cleanpea]

@@PiGCasts hm, I have heard of this, what a silly to measure the vids, tho: I often open a vid only to finish later, often after a minute of watching.. I started premium and downloading when I learned how it worked, with the 100%. It is the least I can do for the channels I love🏆

[@reloadingdontshoot1]

Hero vs Maru is ALWAYS the best SC 2 matches

[@HACKTHATHABIT]

38:11 Hero could've dropped a stalker on the scvs at the gold and had the tank splash kill em all in one go... missed opportunity, but came away that one with a W regardless...great cast and series.

[@Alfredilopulus]

I really like the post game analysis you do. They are really good for understanding the game and the different strategies.

[@andersmusikka]

In sweden, star wars is usually translated as "stjärnornas krig", which literally means "the star's war", or "the war of the stars". I.e, one war, multiple stars. Whereas in english it's (I suppose) it's multiple wars and one star 😀. Maybe the chinese translation of star wars is the same?

[@jkkim6928]

This tournament is “Stars War” meaning war of stars

[@Raitwall]

I think you skip the first s in that type of plurals

[@ludovicgomessilva404]

In Chinese it's 星球大战 meaning the big war of the star/stars there are no plurals in Chinese. It just means war of the stars (players)

[@crazyforcs]

Thanks!

[@PiGCasts]

ty so much for the suport crazy!

[@Overfl00d]

This is the best job you’ve done casting a series Pig, bravo.

[@KarelTheKaiser]

what a pitty that hero didn't have enough storms in the last engagement. Ty for the cast!

[@ZorkToma]

I love how good you are at not spoiling even though you know the outcome. Pig is aces in my book

[@Devillionaire]

Action packed series. Great show!

[@ludovicgomessilva404]

The reason hero has to defend his 3rd base is very simple. In TvP, especially as of late, if the Terran breaks your 3rd base (even though you have a forth base) he has a huge income lead, even though Maru was allin, he could just back off from that position, take a 4th, take gases and with 3 bases against 3 bases he takes a huge lead in the game because he has mules, loads of tanks for defense and already has vikings out which prevents lots of the drop possibilities for the protoss. Hero has no other choice than try to defend his base or he is playing an "even' game against Terran, which you NEVER want to do at that level of play since Terran has the better lategame and better army. Terran trades better off of same income as protoss does and again, has better lategame, so no matter what happens on that map especially herO has to defend that base because it's impossible to break the Terran 4 base setup.

1:31:05 this is the most hero thing ever and i absolutely love it

[@Enubis]

Amazing Casting PiG, thank you

[@DamagesOverTime]

Amazing cast PiG, thank you.

[@CrayXP]

Great games. Great cast :) Thanks !

[@4tzahi]

Amazing games! Pig, thanks for another great cast, I love your vids and listening to your analysis. Keep up the great work!

[@Aneerah]

Always so fun to watch these two play!

[@ChristopherChen86]

The red box in the minimap indicates where the player is looking right? I think hero was looking at and dealing with the liberator which cause his army to take that bad engagement.

[@Riverfall_]

It's been a while since I watched a close head to head finals that actually go to the final match.

[@wonhyeukjung3521]

Top level games and top level casting. What a delight.

[@ohmyonionpie]

man, if theres one guy i love more than dark, its hero. win or lose, i love how he plays the game.

[@nklork]

does the amount of marauder in the final battle makes a difference?

[@tokudayo]

Cool. Usually do you just not read anything sc2 related on twitter to avoid the spoilers?

[@PiGCasts]

yeah I don't really read much social media at all these days. For GSL when its the next day and I don't want to know ANY results I avoid social media entirely, for this sort of event where the replays are a bit slow filtering out I always tend to know the result but so long as I don't look at any threads too closely I usually don't find out anything other than tthe eventual winner

[@TheSuperappelflap]

people still use twitter?

[@Lingrush10]

This is some sick sc2

[@saintjerome23]

amazing series

[@maxsta4088]

Pig disruptors are 4 supply not 2. Great analysis though:)

[@SimonFoote-qb9oy]

You need to etable ads on your videoes so we can support you better here on yt

[@PiGCasts]

Just watching the whole videos and commenting is huge for pushing the videos in the algorithm mate, thnx so much for the support

[@rocketrockinit]

Epic in deed

[@landshark_8024]

4:00 … balls deeper…

[@AbrahamLincoln_]

Every time I watch Hero he's doing some ridiculously bad plays, but I see I'm not the only one confused how can it happen

[@heavenlyvibes7102]

Wow what finals wow wow wow

[@123mickymouse123]

Maru threw that first game

[@MikhailGoncharov]

great games!

[@sinnommbbre]

SPOILER BLOCK

[@infjon]

I LOVE HERO

[@ptitlubelin7114]

I think this game really feels unbalanced since it's conception because Protoss are really lacking of a "second chance" or a comeback mechanic or a turtleling option like terran or zerg have. It's insane how a terran or a zerg can come back after a big loss (game 1 for example) and how protoss are totally dead in this kind of scenario.

[@УооуоТцоуту]

KzkzkozoKzkkzkzkkkzkkzkPLLlzkzkz❤ ❤❤❤

[@RisitasKEKW]

Hero threw that first game

[@tigera6]

Maru thew the 2nd game failing to stop the Phoenix .

[@PiGCasts]

definitely a big derp in that one, but hot damn did he play well after that!

[@mr.j9749]

honesty bro, this is the most biased cast i've ever heard. try talking for both players next time.

[@David6-uu7vu]

❤❤

[@MAAJ1987]

that last fight, shows how skewed PvT is. That was so one sided jesus

[@rogal_dorn5600]

Splash dmg without zealots to tank is very vulnarable. You throw all you splash then what ??? He kills you with what's left. He needed more zealots imo.

[@derfgis6274]

man its just hard to stand a chance against terran when going to a later game sucks

[@equallyspatz8343]

[@tercian88]

Its ridiculous how protoss is weak vs terrans, i mean look at game 1, after first fight maru came back, never happens the other way around. Game 2. Maru had twice the units lost then toss, and still manages to stay in the game, ridiculous. Toss with 1 little mistake in any game is instant loss.

[@daniiarmoldokulov3652]

It’s ridiculous how whiny toss gold players are

[@jkkim6928]

Maxed out PVT fight is too one sided unless it’s mass carriers Yawn

[@YEAHBRO1369]

i would love to watch these games without the commentary.. it brings nothing
