[@watergood664]

"Nightmare isn't afraid of Ghosts" is such a hard line.

[@bhilly812]

"But the storm, the historical and literal counter to vikings" my God man you've done it again.

[@user-ym9dz5uy2v]

Taking out the Ghosts on Ghost River and Drowning them, in the Storm!

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

Winter simply the best caster of professional sc2

[@Fissiccisst1]

Watching these games, the one thing I noticed Nightmare doing a lot was microing stalkers to constantly shave medivacs, vikings and ghosts specifically, keeping their numbers as low as possible. Trusting the storms, zealots, and collosus to keep the marine/marauder count in check. What a treat or a series to watch

[@igap7707]

Also the fact he was feedbacking the medivacs to both deal damage and get the energy down so they can't heal that much. Just perfection

[@dunmatta2670]

Winter with his own extra sauce to drizzle on his metaphorical speak

[@wmzer0mw]

damn, nightmare plays protoss to the protoss fantasy. Feels like he is a hunter, rather than the death ball. Going to be my favorite protoss if he improves. I hope he gets better.

[@jamesshelton308]

Yeah, he's looking pretty scary to play against lol

[@Shadowboost]

This might be the best display I've seen in years of PvT

[@Jared-st7il]

MaxPax's aggressive stalker timings have been a treat as well, however nightmare seems to have a special concoction that can defeat terrans just as well if not better

[@Draeckon]

That was an absolute treat to watch. Well done, Nightmare!

[@masterofraw1175]

This was the most rat gameplay I have ever seen, the warp prism protecting the high templar from the EMP was 2000 IQ

[@andrewadami3920]

Glad you like it. It's been around for a decade, but you don't see it nearly as much. Probably cuz if you miscontrol the WP, you lose all of the Templar.

[@bt920]

What a first game by Nightmare! That warp prism dance at the end 😂😂

[@Devillionaire]

I'm not typically ever excited to see a Hero or MaxPax game, but this Nightmare guy... What a blast to watch. He's really making Protoss feel powerful again.

[@dotgone]

Every time it's a Nightmare game like this, I hear Avenged Sevenfold blasting in my head. NIGHTMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARE

[@h9hdf8]

OK. i Trust you Winter!

[@vladmatei1958]

No. Subscribed, liked, but no watch, we can't blindly trust slimy terrans or far right protoss!

[@YuNherd]

we trust in jimmy. amon.

[@jdKingg_]

Thanks for being so consistent, so funny and so enthusiastic about casting pro series of sc2. You started as a casual caster and you became my every day one. Thanks again, and keep it going man.

[@johnnguyen6224]

This is evidence that High Templar is just clearly better than Disruptor against best players.

[@odetoazam]

100% thats why im sometimes extremely lost as to why Creator kept picking disruptrs when HT is the real damage dealer.....

[@Daniel-rd6st]

I agree though the benefit of disruptors is that they dont care about emps and if you get enough of them to constantly throw balls (so at around 7 or 8) you can basically keep an opponent constantly on the run.

[@TheGImp1214]

We are once again here because winter has invoked the sacred “Trust me bro”

[@bigstreetguns6619]

This play is a terran nightmare.

[@theelephantandtherider9536]

here's how i know i've watched too many of your videos, im humming along perfectly to the background music.

[@HieiKirisame]

As a plain Observer of SC games and having love for the Protoss race, it was an absolute spectacle to watch a 'Toss player have DECISIVE victories against Terran players like Byun and Clem.

[@kathorsees]

notice how in the last game Nightmare switches in and out of colossi. Terran ends up building vikings just in case - and in half the battles, the vikings are wasted supply cause there are no colossi. the last fight shows this as well, Terran's bio is getting obliterated while he's frantically landing a bunch of vikings.

[@decapyre]

Winter says trust, I trust

[@43tread]

I really appreciate the directly positive coverage of Nightmare. I’m not a Protoss, but I think his play is just sick.

[@Alloran]

I do enjoy this kind of play from Nightmare, very technical, very clean movement.

[@quackcharge]

not throwing the kitchen sink... man you made me laugh there 😂 thanks for casting my dude

[@VvMythWolfvV]

Love your videos Winter, your casting is fantastic! I went ahead and bought your announcer voice on SC2. I hope the best for you man, keep doing what you are doing.

[@sebastianshine4262]

Best moment: 52:03 the mule casually walking through the battle 52:19 mule walking back is the icing on the cake

[@cataliniancu5318]

Nightmare's control was out of this world, even to feedback ghosts one by one before they can use EMP.

[@Refirrus]

I don't play Starcraft online, but I love to watch your and Lowko's casts. While watching them in the last months I always wondered why Protoss do not use Storms against Terran bio? It seemed to make more sense than unreliable Disruptors. Nightmare showed me that this style is possible and can be super effective. Especially in the last match we see how he is lower in supply but takes those fights like he is on even. Also he is not only dragging Templars with his main army, but juggles them in Prisms, flanks with them and sets up little ambushes. Great performance indeed!

[@Warmolt48]

Love watching protoss, and especially a toss boss like this! Thnx for the bonus video :)

[@Dupingmaster]

Crazy to be up resource lost vs a terran.

[@elijahhogan]

If only winter could cast every major pro game

[@danielbolin2361]

Now THAT was some good protoss play. Well done Nightmare!

[@kah8822]

Thanks for the content dude, your commentary is amazing and hope you forever continue 🙏

[@TheMysticfrog07]

I was actually just watching this match up from 4 mo the ago that Winter casted. Checked my recommendations, and here it is again after the patch.

[@thepersonwhocomentz]

Cleanest Toss I've seen in months, honestly.

[@wilshireanasurimbor3068]

Wow Nightmare, amazing job! Really looking like he was playing at the top of his game, and deeply understands the matchup.

[@umrete]

BROS ... Did nightmare just solve -PvZ- 😮 EDIT: PvT god damn it :D

[@Buddha2723]

Anti-spoiler games are the most genius idea to come from any caster since the days Artosis cast with Tasteless

[@justsaying2181]

7 Key takeaways for Protoss: 1. Prioritize killing ghosts & medivacs. 2. Use Feedback to keep their energy low (same as killing for a battle but easier to snipe with). 3. Build 3-5 observers when not making immortals or collossi (cheaper than a scan & same build time as an overlord 18sec). 4. Don't build mass Disruptors. 5. Build High Templars instead. 6. Don't build archons until you use High Templar spells first. 7. Don't clump archons together and have them lead the charge so they take 1 full EMP without affecting nearby units. In a battle ghosts account for about 40-55% of all damage with EMP (depending on how low the HP of the Protoss army is without shields). Medivacs are the sustain so that fights can last longer than 3 stims (30 seconds). Storms quickly bring the bio low enough to get 1-2 shot by gateway units. This takes immaculate control by Protoss and can get countered still by cloaked ghosts and being out of position.

[@benismann]

SPOILER: 34:35 HOW DID HE KNOW???? I was looking at the second game and thinking "how does byun come back from this there's no way, it has to be some terran bullshit"... But ig we have the clem games for that, you can never end PvT without disappointment :> EVEN MORE SPOILER: nvm, this is peak toss performance from nightmare

[@matth1005]

19:32 Protoss are known to taste with their feet

[@x8axe8x]

Beautiful style

[@mattoverton9087]

The warp prism spaz/dance LOL

[@remeokits]

Templar are amazing when used right. And archons used to soak up hits for other units in a pinch. Beautiful.

[@caleroification]

We love you, Winter!

[@scuddsTV]

"a time of relative darkness for protoss... and not because they blink so much" dude WHERE DO YOU GET THIS ABSOLUTE FIRE FROM

[@Naturalhigh8]

I'm honestly glad you remind us to like and subscribe at the beginning every time. I forget until you tell me every time.... EVERY TIME

[@Swordmaster7th]

Nightmare is Dark levels in controlling the race's strategy.

[@Metaspace2]

Big kudos to Nightmare. What excellence! Thank you, Winter, for bringing this to our attention!

[@dariuszhorvath-krol8540]

AWESOME Games!!!🤙🏻 Thank you!🙏🏻

[@jfkeeling]

Ha, been wondering if he'll bring up the fact that Protoss don't have mouths. Been a bit. I usually use these vids to fall asleep, so I only get the early funny. Thanks man.

[@IIlvllI]

“Hero take notes!” 😂😂😂

[@cubandarknez]

SPOILER That was a cool grindy protoss style. Surprised to see it work so well. Really thought clem had it in the bag.

[@Thulgore]

Wow!!

[@mironsamokhvalov9323]

You know you have a good strategy if even the caster is distracted from the action

[@aenastik7561]

The last match was an absolute banger! More Nightmare pls

[@spartanchief2]

Nightmare expands a lot compared to other protoss which helps him sustain and replenish his army extremely quickly. It's very good

[@zhadoomzx]

That storm drop was epic

[@chrishaywood2458]

I love the amount of Zealots used.

[@NecronIsGood]

Oooo a nightmare game I love his games

[@Fanaro]

This Protoss does indeed play beautifully. (And I'm a Zerg player...)

[@tuankhaichu7350]

IN WINTER WE TRUST!

[@Cephalopopo]

Nightmare played like a champ. His unit control was so incredibly good, especially considering against who he is doing it. Easily this week's best game of pvt of the year for me. Winter ist the goat anyway.

[@aridochshanov9295]

OP toss, to many perks for them

[@georgeromaniajr.2680]

Even in the summer, I long for Winter

[@yugonostalgia8961]

Nightmare ... no the player we deserve but the Protoss we need!!

[@Angerytortoise]

Great games.

[@S3IIL3CT]

he may not be the protoss we deserve, but he is the protoss we need

[@rul8734]

Amazing games winter , thanx for make my day a little bit better ❤

[@alexchobanov]

Officially new fav player. There's still hope for Aiur!

[@PUSH_PULL_sc]

colossus switch, spreading ht, ht-warp combo, killing medivacs and map scouting !!!

[@bobgoatfrog]

Winter gotta be one of my favorite personalities of all time

[@mihairo83]

Dewd...... Finally, something new... I mean it's not actually new, but they said it's old and rusty and it doesn't work anymore.... Thank you for casting ❤

[@rul8734]

Winter is comming and brings storms and salt

[@cathulionetharn5139]

Thank You Om nom nom

[@wearethefieryheartmoons1639]

Wow nice games :)

[@iamjullage]

i dont play this game but have watched many many videos, that first game was probably one of the most entertaining game ive seen so far!

[@lwshien]

Love how i misjudged the length.. wont be spoiling

[@NnNeo-ql2kq]

Protoss was always weak when in PvT match up but these games just lit a flame of faith in Protoss in me again

[@PoleaxeWife]

Great vid to take my E to. 👍

[@snowpython]

Finally a toss who stands a chance against terran

[@robertrac5825]

After watching a few hundred of your videos I thought nothing could surprise me anymore, but... YOU CAN HAVE TWO PRISMS????

[@philiplau9711]

So very satisfying to see templar storm used in such a dominating fashion. Harkens to the SC1 days. Even more satisfying is watching Protoss storm into oblivion those filthy, filthy terrans and their poo poo bio ball of terran filth. En Taro Nightmare!

[@kathorsees]

as a soft slimy cerebrate watching from the bushes off to the side, I'm not even a part of this conversation. but I couldn't agree more!

[@SD-jf7nb]

WoL deathball, I'm Z main, and never could get the hang of disruptors, kept killing myself. With storm I have killed mass rays, mass Thor, mass Marines, emptied many a mineral line and I only kill my own chargalot. Nightmare was good at not doing that, I noticed, and made judicious use of his units in general, baiting vike with lone collossi, keeping that one immortal alive - lost a few prisms, but doesn't just throw them away. He was behind in supply most of the game it seemed, but taking engagements and kiting the units he needed to, wp.

[@velijaatine7849]

Nice🎉🎉

[@davidscolli8165]

Hey Winter, thanks for the great content I love these series with the anti spoiler bonus game and seeing how they fair against other players with similar play styles. You are a cut above the other SC II casters. One day I want to learn how to play the game before it is retired for good! 😂

[@bartermens8219]

Maybe Nightmare should change his name to EndlessWinter, cause the storms just kept coming.

[@robertbanfic8700]

Really nice to see some new-er faces like Nightmare. Any chance of casting his PvZ matchup?

[@LaMainy]

Veri NAJSU first game!

[@mbran031]

I really think Nightmare's should be upgraded to 5 cost and 4 health. He's been on a rampage this year, putting on a much better showing than most other Protoss. The heavy focus on killing or using feedback on the medivacs is looking incredibly strong right now.

[@miza6]

I would watch a winter card ranking video for sure

[@SpreadingtheMuse]

Do templar regain energy while inside a prism?

[@blorby]

Trust me broodling…. Winter, fix nightmare card - his name is missing at the bottom

[@CelestialDesign]

Will we be getting sc2 vs sc1 back anytime soon? It didnt seem super balanced, but it was quite fun to watch lol

[@MrBobenfresh]

I'm here for the goods. ❤️❤️❤️

[@Mechanb]

I think we got a new best protoss. slicing through those two terran is no easy feat

[@Ole_Rasmussen]

Oh it's Nightmare, I've been wondering for weeks because he doesn't have his name on the card

[@CorruptorPeste]

Nice

[@dustinjones8892]

Liked for the StarCraft. Subbed for the math lessons.

[@Kosss2001]

Title - "Just trust me Bro!"

[@JourneymanJacob]

Winter says: “trust me bro” I see: 53 minute video My small brain says: “okay”

[@tabula_rosa]

i feel like the purpose of the colossus is to soak viking shots for the templar prism

[@kathorsees]

notice how in the last game Nightmare switches in and out of colossi. Clem ends up building vikings just in case - and in half the battles, the vikings are wasted supply cause there are no colossi. the last fight shows this too, Clem's bio is getting obliterated while he's frantically landing a bunch of vikings.

[@qverk1427]

idk bout yall, but ive been liked and subbed since day 1

[@m4djoker890]

I can be awesome only once, I'll drop the like just for Jimmy
