Scarlett's Mass Hydralisks vs Oliveira! StarCraft 2

[@weid7070]

I love it when you channel the knitting crew. Ngl I'd watch a full cast of Back Seat Brenda.

[@alltat]

We definitely need a Brenda-cast of a long macro game where the observer is only interested in the adventures of the queens.

[@weid7070]

@@alltat Idk about exclusively queens personally. I kinda wanna see the knitting crew talk smack and be motherly about everything tbh. Like angry coach but more like disappointed yet understanding Brenda

[@1bentom1]

The commentary from the queens keeps me coming back every time. Hahaha

[@undertyped1]

The blackout joke after is a bit tired though. He should just commit to the bit and move on.

YOO that's the best hahaha and when Winter gets his arms to his chest!? hahaha love that reaction.

@@undertyped1he often blackes out for a second but the other day he blacked out for *a moment*. Clearly there’s a hidden meaning there.

[@IfritMiraZ]

@@enriquegarciacota3914 just means he's a changeling acting as a terran

[@eud64_]

I didn't know that Microbial Shroud existed up until this game. I love when players try new things and Scarlett never ceases to surprise me.

[@robert-asdf]

it doesn't matter it one faction gets buffed or nerfed, as long as blizzard's main goal is make a lane where all rarely used weapons are needed. nothing like watching your most hated or even favorite player repeatedly winning with just the minimum variety needed to the point where *this* player is known for *this* unit. there should be a list in winter's comments or blizzard's site the least used things so they can get a general idea what to revolve the next patch around.

[@theculturedgentleman3699]

One thing I really love about Scarlett games is her ability to spread Creep! She's so good at creep spread...I just wish she had better unit control. Maybe strategic decision making too.

[@codymays9943]

Love Scarlett. Where does time go? I remember her first tournaments and that was like a decade ago now. We’re getting old as hell now 😭

What do you mean, Time is right there, just playing under the gamertag Oliveira (har har har)

@@B1gLupu Boooooooo 💀

[@spidzcats]

Seriously. I took a pretty long SC2 break and when I played and was watching tournaments Scarlett and Stephano were the top Zerg’s.

[@codymays9943]

@@spidzcats Same, man. That was a different era. And today, somehow Destiny pivoted into this politics thing and THAT blows my mind.

I worked the secondary stream on that tournament! It was NASL in Toronto Canada back in July 2012...

[@kw8295]

Seems Scarlett had "Oops, All Hydras" for breakfast this morning.

[@barsnack7999]

easy to make all those hydras from a chopped off pen!s

[@TheNerdForAllSeasons]

42:40 yeah I'm not a pro player but I don't think running uphill into 120 supply of Tank/ Bio on even upgrades with only Ling/ Bane is the best strat.

[@mb10637]

Yeah, he definitely made a mistake there. That was nasty fight.

[@GameFuMaster]

mostly because it came piecemeal. 42:25 started attacking on the left flank, while the right flank wasn't ready. So the tanks obliterated the left flank, and could then focus on the right flank. Would've been a lot more even if it was coordinated properly

[@shaheenaevelga8604]

@@mb10637 Only mistake i see here is you misgendering on purpose.

[@BR0984]

@@shaheenaevelga8604on purpose? Why do you assume so?

[@Solon64]

It would only be misgendering if using the new definition of the word which separates biological sex and gender identity (rather than the older, traditional one where gender and biological sex are interchangeable), but the jury is FAR from out on which definition is the more correct one and typically, when in doubt, the traditional, older choice is the standard used as that is the one that more people learned it as and would agree with. Don't assume the language you use is the same as the language someone else uses, even if both people are speaking English; you just end up talking past each other and getting upset for no reason. Definitions are extremely important, and when a definition is changed it is even more important that both speakers are on the same page as to what is being referred to. If someone asks you to hand them the apple you're holding but what you're holding is an orange, you both are going to be very, very confused. He didn't make a mistake, YOU did: you assumed a definition of gender that is not yet widely accepted. You can certainly choose to believe that using the old definition is immoral or "mistaken", but neither you nor he nor anyone individually is the arbiter of morality on this subject. He's calling an apple an apple, and you're upset because this particular apple prefers to be referred to as an orange. You can understand, surely, why there might be some confusion.

[@BeesNTrees47]

21:18 a hydra flies off into space!

[@BeesNTrees47]

sorry, swims to the surface for a breath of air hahaha

[@joshoconnor6684]

Be freeeeee

[@mariusmaxximus1520]

I would love to see Winter live-casting IEM Katowice, and then break into a schizophrenic Queen black out, every time they shoot down a medivac

[@MusicGodAndMyLaptop]

EPIC content

[@AshunPhubu]

At this point I'm surprised Winter has not Cosplayed as a queen "Brenda" and done a whole cast/stream with it

[@JollyGreenWizard]

I shudder to think how wrecked his voice would be at the end, but that would definitely be hilarious

[@joshoconnor6684]

Hydralisk in my opinion is the most iconic zerg unit and probably the coolest design. I'm happy to see a victory from scarlet using them.

[@ViKODiN_]

Especially against ghost. I don’t play much sc2 anymore since I’ve come back to Dota 2 but man it seems like such a pain in the ass those ghost are. Seen so many mid to late game TvZ games lost where the Zerg had 70-80% map control and several more bases and yet they lose fight after fight cuz ghost just line up like a civil war battle line and wipe out every Zerg unit with zero trade or consequences. Has made watching TvZ very boring for me at times especially recently. It just feels like such an almost impossible uphill battle that 2 shots can kill a ultralisk and there’s no real way Zerg can do much about it especially with EMP in play. Fuxk ghosts lmao

[@rileymitchell3510]

I definitely care about reaper micro, so much I wrote this comment while it was going on.

[@Gredddfe]

Scarlett the baseball pitcher showing us the most dramatic throws.

[@GrippeeTV]

19:15 is one of the sickest plays I think I’ve seen in a long time, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone use Microbial Shroud so effectively lol

[@TheFinius]

All I can think is the last thoughts of those reapers boxed in. "Well shit."

[@MusicGodAndMyLaptop]

Can we just appreciate the insane work ethic here? A new video EVERYDAY? Winter, may your snow never melt and your superpylons never face a Nydus full of Brendas. There will be a time when we all will have to type out our last GGs, but until then: GET OFF MY CREEP!! ❤

[@EmilyRose0]

"A normal man" is such a fitting description for any normal man playing vs Scarlett who is not a normal man ;)

not the "creep spread in my mouth" comment 🤣😂 Always love your commentary.

[@tybofborg]

Scene 1: Scarlett: What counters mass hydra? Oliveira: It's been a while since anyone asked that... tanks and ghosts, I guess? Scarlett: Okay, but what counters MORE mass hydra? Oliveira: Damn. Scene 2: Scarlett: What counters mass hydra? Oliveira: What counters mass marine? Scarlett: What mass mar... oh. Damn. Scene 3: Scarlett: What counters mass ling bane? Oliveira: 2/2 finishing just in the right moment, I guess? Scarlett: OH C'MON

[@IsThisHandleTaken]

ya love to see the mass hydra. Not sure why but hydras have always been one of my favourite units

[@Grubnar]

21:06 LOL! Don't ever change!

[@Devillionaire]

Zerospace looks sick. I’m sure Scarlett will do a great job on its balancing. Can’t wait to play it.

[@omarwilliams1948]

CREEP SPREAD IN MY MOUTH….WHAT😂😂😂

[@polygondwanaland8390]

Holy shit, the ending of the first game. Long distance mine with 65 SCVs, run directly into hydras, gg

[@leafykille]

Hydras are incredibly powerful, I'm honestly amazed they aren't seen more often.

[@Ole_Rasmussen]

Maru has become the progamer equivalent of Doom. "Can it run Doom?" "Can they beat Maru?" If people are still wondering if Maru is the GOAT, consider this point.

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

You know why nobody asks "can they beat serral?"? Because the answer is almost always "no", with the exception of clem and even he is not consistent on beating serral; so the question is kinda pointless. That is why serral is BY FAR the GOAT.

[@Markfr0mCanada]

Don't. Kick. The turtle! Words Pig taught me which have immense value.

[@aaronw6195]

This was a pretty even good match! Scarlett kept up the pressure, and really leaned on those hydras to put together some kind of offense.

[@freya1022]

Scarlet with full on galaxy brain in round 1. Mass queen/ling with ranged attack to defend then building Hydras. Great seeing the puzzle pieces of her plan fall into place so perfectly

[@tondekoddar7837]

Scarlett is my new favorite. I want to give her the nickname of Scarlett Kerrigan.

[@aidanrc46]

Thanks for casting Scarlet ❤

[@JacksonJoseph-Eugene]

mass hydra against terran is interesting. reduces the ghosts as expensive liabilities. Gives air control , love to see those medicacs explode, the terran is cornered. Also i imagine it's easier to control than lings/bane. with a few fungals, overseers, and support from vipers it's very good.

[@simedinson984]

Does the 1 reaper micro ever do anything?

[@mcgiro]

What are the bonuses for each player listed at the beginning? For example, "Feudalism" and "Overgrowth" for Scarlett. Are these real mechanical changes? (Apologies if this is a dumb question.)

[@ferrumurbis]

I know I'm slightly late, but no they aren't real modifiers. Those are fun little references to how the players play their individual races. The different numbers on the cards (on each corner) are a reference to what their general skill level is in sc2 as well.

[@ferrumurbis]

Also there's no such thing as a stupid question. It's always a good thing to ask for information in life haha.

[@topherelderkin6750]

Thank you so much :-) I appreciate the information and kind tone. Now I can enjoy them more as what they are!

[@ferrumurbis]

@topherelderkin6750 Well you're welcome! I'm glad to have been of some help.

[@klejjmok]

Damn it Winter. I liked when you asked me to, so now I can't like when I'm laughing at your Raid shadow legends joke. Thanks for all your uploads, you are the highlight of Starcraft 2 for me nowadays

[@danielm5371]

Can you do some videos that are documentaries or autobiographies from the perspective of a single unit? Start the video with their birth/creation and end it upon their death. Your unit commentary is funny enough where I would love to see this. Brenda or the occasional unit that was created by mistake would make wonderful first topics.
