Timestamps won't work unless the first one is exactly 0:00

[@SC2HL]

@@korakys What do you mean exactly?

[@korakys]

@@SC2HL It seems like you figured it out now but for the sake of it I'll provide a longer explanation anyway. Initially you had the first timestamp set to 0:05 but in order to activate youtube's chapter creation feature it looks for an initial timestamp of 0:00 (or with more zeros) and wont create chapters without it. There are other rules as well, like there must be at least 3 timestamps or it wont activate and they must be spaced at least 10 seconds apart.

[@JesusTheCookie]

I can not believe that one pylon ramp block worked.

[@sublimeqt420]

Badly designed map and not checked at all, Those rocks at the bottom of the ramp were added in like 2014 due to things like this. And this makes it through into pro play lmfao. What a joke sadly. I love SC2, Still do. Maybe not as much as I did back in 2011-2014 but it is very sad to see the professional scene having issues like this just within the game rather than the community.

[@andrzejnadgirl2029]

@@sublimeqt420 it was tournament organizers map, it map name was GSL_Oblivion, it wasn't a proper tested ladder map or anything like that. As much as it sucked and totally shouldn't happened at all, it was single incident like that. And frankly GSL should have rules for something like that to repeat game on a different map, it was pretty weird that they didn't had anyth5 against it. But overall SC2 tournaments are a lot less rules heavy as people expected any major issues to be fixed by Blizz unlike in Brood War but again, this was 100% on tournament organizer.

[@adamnevraumont4027]

@@andrzejnadgirl2029 what do you say - any surprising map features mean a match reset? Where do you draw the line: Tank ledges Reaper approaches? Back doors? Pull the map after the match, maybe. But if you find a way to use a map, you get a single win from it.

Finally Parting cannon-rushes. This man's done so many masterpieces, I was wondering why it took 4 episodes to finally be able to witness his works of art.

[@FalconPaladin]

PartinG takes advantage of a bad map, yeah :D He does that sometimes.

[@VascovanZeller]

The casting on that last match had me at the edge of my seat!

[@minstorm]

I like that the cannon rush didn't actually win in the last one. It was a incredibly exciting game. Good to include games where the outcome isn't the same every time

[@noneayourbusiness5149]

Yeah... but the title of this video (and other previous ones that also included failed cannon rushes) is "Greatest Cannon Rushes of All Time". I can't consider a Cannon Rush among the "Greatest" if it fails.

Parting quite literally changed the game of SC2 multiple times. Soul train, blink stalker micro for days, crazy cannon rushes. I'm gonna miss him

[@wearethekingz]

man serral is insane

[@V3x0r]

His focus is scary. No expressions on his face. Pure ice in the veins.

[@bengreenbank]

It was mostly just Has constantly mis-microing it and fucking up the cheese. If he'd micro'd like Parting then no chance Serral wins.

[@bennetla10]

Has with that Immortal micro at the end was insane.

Lol, got here 7 seconds after the upload. Perfect timing! ^^

[@JW-qd3ol]

Very nice to see at least one where someone comes back and defeats the rush. If anyone can do it, Serral can!!

Haas missing that walloff kills me inside.

That didn't change the game too much imo. The initial immortal going down absolutely stung so badly.

The immortal juggling in the end!

[@brianjorgensen937]

that parting rush HAD to be first haha I feel like I knew it going into the video.

[@qurodays1194]

somehow felt so satisfying that serral foiled that canon rush xD

[@Phoenix7786]

That Serral match was un-fucking believable. I literally stopped eating to focus on it better.

[@tictcha612]

Nice video !

[@user-cp6xi9io4y]

Has cheesing his way to grand finals just to be stomped by Serral was awesome.

[@noahcollin9532]

Crazy audience reaction @22:06😲

[@SmallzSC2]

Thanks for tossing in my suggestion! @sc2hl also just fantastic games as a whole!

[@iusefacebookalso]

That last game was intense. Serral got lots of good pick offs that really hurt Haas. I think he should've sniped the spawning pool and roach warren instead of trying to poke the backline of the expansion. That would've set Serral back 350 minerals and a few minutes at the very least.

When you see Cannon Rushes, it has to be Has.

[@darksniperdragon]

You will be missed, PartinG

[@krispywater]

Why did haz opt for a shield battery instead of a cannon at home? And if he just walled off at his natural, could have been a diff outcome

[@YoungbloodEric]

yeh he got greedy against serral which is the last thing you want to do. Serral just attacked his base once he realized it wasnt a full wall. If has didnt lose 2-3 immortals before that he wouldve had extra to ecal one or so. Small misplays but overall crazy micro from both

[@egeiger08]

Game 1 of this video with PartinG blocking the ramp is the actual best cannon rush ever. He wins with his first proxy pylon. Solar has to go through all the stages of grief in a two minute time span.

[@NoellaScott]

Why isn't walling off your own main the first step basically?

[@Raumance]

Shame on the last one that is was decided with Has leaving the wall open so didn't really get to see the actual climax of that turret race.

It's so fun and exciting knowing that P win 100% vs Z

[@tomhe286]

Back in the days protosses indeed had short, but strong Cannon rush era vs. zerg. But of course zerg have been winning every major tournament for years. And with upcoming patch the most interesting thing to see is that do any protoss even make it into any major tournament. Terran will still have some chances against zerg, but protoss is nerfed into oblivion

@@tomhe286 I'm not talking about overall game balance, just these videos have been at most 1 or 2 Z win.

Why is every game pvz, so boring

[@SC2HL]

Didn’t even think about that! Cannon rushes tend to happen most in PvZ though. There’s also one PvP in the games! Watch the other episodes for more PvT cannon action

[@DanStaal]

Cannon rushes are strongest in PvZ where Zerg really wants two bases for any sustained unit production. PvP they are decent, but Protos can one base more easily and the defender will have the eco lead, at least at the beginning. PvT, Terran can just fly away if they need to.

[@andrzejnadgirl2029]

@@DanStaal Terrans don't care much about all because marines can easily sniper the probe and it's basically impossible to put pylons that way so cannon can really be positioned aggressively and protect pylon from ranged attacks of marines early on. Also one base vs one base versus Terran gives T big economy advantage due to the CC and mules. Flying buildings also is a factor but least significant one from all of that.

[@jcisonutubee]

how is this boring like be serious

[@cousinpatsey2471]

Canon rushing is almost completely non viable in PvT, and it's a lot harder in PvP (though a PvP still happens in the video). Zerg can't ignore it, and has a hard time defending it. It's the matchup where it's most effective.
