Your recent content is amazing. The little new details of the score cards, amazing anti-spoiler games, consistently high quality and funny commentary. This makes me now come back daily, keep it up!

[@flyselbyhigh]

Love the new ‘jimmy’s breakdown’ powered by ‘likes and subscribes’ I always love that kind of extra info

[@drorbedrack8820]

(and tears)

[@LucianDevine]

If we can't get him fired, at least we can drive him insane!

[@alexandresimard696]

Nightmare's card is lacking his name at the bottom. Surely it is all Jimmy's fault !!

[@ezequieltellez9082]

Hey hey we all love Jimmy anyway. his doing his best XD

[@begg3495]

His name is nightmare

[@LucianDevine]

@@ezequieltellez9082 He's a lazy schmuck that is lucky he still has a job!

[@matthew4107]

came here to comment on this :D

[@nerophon]

Jimmy gets too much slack. If this was Hong Kong, he'd already be dead.

[@Foede]

Just want to say that I LOVE the new stats screen breakdown in between games. Great job jimmy! I dunno how easy it would be, but adding race stats would be cool as well, like how good a map is for this race, or how is the win rate for this player against this race.

[@reue100]

14:05 because the observer knows where the army isn't

[@alexmineru]

Godlike reference

[@dontpokethekenny]

i love nightmare, he plays like a Protoss Gumiho, and Gumiho is the defacto coolest terran

[@rouvey]

SPOILERS Thanks for the anti spoiler games, I really expected that second game to go to Cure with those extra bases. Also the amount of base trades in these games is amazing

[@corradosecchi6810]

Yes!! After Brenda and Susan now we have Billy the Lost Stalker! I really like the mini-stories during this excellent commentary. By the way, that second game was insanely fun: maybe not the best from a technical standpoint, but extremely entertaining to watch.

[@jadekaiser7840]

Cure: >Executes a perfect hidden expansion cheese. . .(Anti-spoiler space) . >Loses anyways because don't grok AOE

[@TekkaSage]

He just kept suiciding his units and medivacs which completely nullified any advantage.

[@PervyAutomaton]

​@@TekkaSage its 1 of the things making it hard to watch

[@LucianDevine]

I love whenever Winter is so disgusted that he has to throw his headphones down! Game 2 was beautiful, absolutely beautiful!

[@rand1313]

I have been watching SC casts since the Husky days and you, Winter, continue to get better and better, funnier and funnier as the years go by. The cards, the memes, your green screen, the breakdowns, Jimmy and Brenda...You now officially rank as high (to me) in caster ranking as Cholera, NuketheStars, Husky, HD, and Tastosis. Welcome to my personal hall of fame, and thank you for being you. Cheers

[@stuart00knight]

thanks for the ending. nice touch.

[@Matt-ln7lb]

Cure in that 2nd game playing so aggressively and constantly splitting his army to chunks that Nightmare could more easily deal with despite a huge eco lead and the opportunity to tech to liberators or BCs with a somewhat more defensive setup seems like a huge mistake. He had the option to play a straight up game with a huge advantage and didn't take it, throwing away his advantage with a bunch of very committed drops into defended locations.

[@roysmith1249]

Yeah and his micro and multitasking aren't great, so he countered himself really by not death balling, or simply picking off a nexus, and then teching up. He coulda warped 3 BCs from that corner base and kept his Bio at home to defend.

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

There were multiple key moments of losing wayyy too many units there that lost him the games tbh. Like those archons that were the main defense squad of the main are useless if cure just has enough ghosts there, but he didn't or wasted the EMPs too early...

[@keromblum]

I appreciate this new transparency in video titling.

[@marinav3905]

35:28 holy disrupters 😮

[@zathrasyes1287]

43:56 nice reference to Edgar Allan Poe.

[@ondrej7982]

Those ninja bases works kina against Cure, as he was acting like a drunk millionare with all those drops :D

[@mateuszkielar4947]

35:12 Bomba of the year :D

[@richardwhite6062]

2:20 Wow

[@catbert7]

35:05: Play o' the game! 🎉 36:25: The Disruptors were absolutely savage this series; holy hell!

[@lukcymann]

"Shaq at the free throw line." Lost it HA!

[@billyumbraskey8135]

wow your whole cadence and delivery at this is really pro

[@zenzull]

game 1 was very entertaining) not just the base trade, but attempt to switch sides!

[@thwompalot5000]

304 wonderful nights of sleep! I don't think I can fall asleep without a Brenda narrative anymore.

[@zombi3907]

good stuff man, thanks!

[@HoldDaMayo]

Excellent content as usual Winter, ty! :)

[@dubnubgtd8538]

This was the craziest best of 3 I’ve ever seen

[@cellulanus]

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought it was the Terra-Tron and that someone figured out how to use it in a ladder game.

[@hanarielgodlike9283]

You got me with the anti-spoiler lol

[@TheNocebo]

It's remembering me my Broodwar experiences, this game is awesome, tos looks as to less agressive, in some situations, but we don't see the holly map. All moments when tos miss hiss opportunities hurts, im sure he will improve it. Thx for this video! Im tos fan btw :)

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

Damn, I really appreciate Nightmare games; he's so good at positioning his units and his vision in just the right places, so that he can out maneuver his opponents, rather than try to outplay them.

[@NathanielNow]

The People's Terran is a great name, but if you ever want to change it, we could name him The Beat Because he be droppin

[@lucasfrank1053]

Thanks for this.

[@henne.0419]

22:55 well obviously you are looking for the fusion core or the fleet beacon you're just a bit early or well, the forge

[@alexng704]

LMAO at the intro, "...with the Terran who represents the rest of us..."

[@setshkrkrlenv]

CROUCHING RUPTERS 😂😂😂

[@ThePalatineHill]

cure is throwing his men into the meat grinder like that admiral/commander from futurama (I forget his name)

[@sergeanthattie9822]

zap branigan never forget

[@ryder8646]

wave after wave of my men, until the Protoss killbots hit their kill limits...

[@grahamgaming3]

What a game from nightmare. Just awesome.

[@a33262]

"even when you scout do you know what you're seeing" *PROCEEDS TO LOOK RIGHT AT US...

[@dunmatta2670]

Good lord Nightmare you magnificent bastard

[@christopherscott6383]

Let's Go!!!

[@FieldTechIV]

Incredible matches.

[@mikeiscoo2]

I think nightmare is the best Protoss in the world honestly, his use of observers and his blink micro are unmatched.

[@orangepearlf40]

his army hotkey control is by far the best. Better than hero and maxpax.

[@mikeiscoo2]

@@orangepearlf40 it’s weird but I feel like he is the Serral of Protoss, he has so much vision control. You don’t see other Protoss making that many oracles. He has room to grow as well. He will be undisputed #1 Protoss soon enough. I want to see him in more tournaments

[@orangepearlf40]

@mikeiscoo2 Agreed. He's going to get better and better.

[@Cawfeesomething]

41:36 Command Off-center

[@something12344321]

Amazing content

[@thepcfd]

what are these heartstone cards at beggining?

[@nortonantho]

"sick hops". Winter be hoopin?

[@nortonantho]

"O for 2 Shaq at the free throw line". Winter for sure hoops.

[@Grond112358]

22:10 Jurassic Park was a resort.

[@Mark20020]

Damn, game 2 was really fun to watch

[@Hotshotben]

You sir, are making very good content!

[@Jdietz43]

Liking for the anti-spoilers. I think it's a really elegant way of handling it.

[@HippyCheez11]

How do you rapid fire pick up your army ad a Med vac?

[@aliasalbatross700]

Banger!

[@MartB-tx5lb]

Yes! 1300+ Winter brah!

[@proactivex]

the cure for being way ahead is donating 20 medivacs and marines.

[@acemcfly7399]

It's a cold breakfast, I like it

[@captaindein33]

Does he talk like this in real life?

[@erikvarga4367]

35:10 wouldn't one call them: Disraptors?

[@VeryBadPlayerTV]

All cure had to do in that base trade was go to his corner, protect his SCV, Drop mules, start a sup depo chain and camp. If he manages to build scvs. Get racks, tank, bunker he will mine faster and cap faster. He just wins. He imo was too overwhelmed and just didn't know what 2 do.

[@stardrifter2872]

I wonder how long its going to take Blizzard to fix Disruptor's.

[@lincantro]

Beatiful movement's Nightmare

[@cathulionetharn5139]

Thank You Om nom nom

[@lixnix2018]

I thought first it was bronze hero’s from the thumbnail

[@FlokiTech]

Disruptors really are the worst designed unit in all of lotv. 3/3 bio with air upgrades can't do shit against 1 weapon upgrade protoss unless you play like Clem or Maru and dodge every single nova.

[@kalo8524]

You spelled widow mines wrong bro

[@FlokiTech]

@@kalo8524 Liberators is where it's at

[@ericmartin2740]

Dude overbuilds chonky boys to completely negate the entire protoss army. = Good. Protoss builds a unit great against chonky boys. = Bad design.

[@callmeghostly7632]

We watched 3 marauders hunt 3 of them and get them before the stalkers arrived. And that was after they blew up the drop. And as someone said widowmines are worse. Something that involves micro

[@PoeticMistakes]

or... click them. they are made of tissue paper unless the protoss screens them well. and if they are screening well they are missing shots at most elos.

[@ezequieltellez9082]

super cool game from Nightmare's do

[@ManDuderGuy]

Im lovin it

[@Alloran]

Cure belongs in the major leagues with throws like that.

[@DrewMiller1]

Are there 3-building reaper walls that a reaper can’t bounce over?

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

I really like the anti-spoiler-games, often they're a nice change from the ongoing series because most often they're also less serious and more relaxed.

[@numa_kai]

dang. cant believe cure lost the 2nd match with all that resource advantage

[@justsaying2181]

Dear Winter, I love the content, but you need to update Cure's Card. He's literally one ranking below Byun on Aligulac (he's ranked 9), but he's only got a 3 power rating? Why you do him dirty like that 😭😂 (19:12)

[@LeonItsMe]

Game 2 was sooo good 😊

[@Innieminnie]

Nightmare was deep in Dark this game

[@Cormalek]

For every time Artosis or Tasteless said "this game is so over" they should be strapped into a Mechanical Orange style chair and forced to watch Game 2. Just the past games tho. Artosis got so much better, Winter is reaching new heights, Harstem & Hamster are outdoing themselves, ZombieGrub rocking ESL... I wonder, with Bobby K. finally having fucked off, and other great RTS games about to be published - will SC2 see a comeback? State of the game seems the best it ever was IMHO. In the meantime, I hope this comment, like and subscribe cheat the algorythms a bit ;)

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

It’s one thousand four hundred and something likes. You welcome my good sir. And please can u cast one more stream. Thanks. Jimmy command him, thanks m8

[@teahousereloaded]

How someone who doesn’t micro can refuse so much to build libs is crazy.

[@user-ni3yt1rw1x]

I'm enjoying the anti-spoiler games. Keeps the main event interesting and plus a nice little bonus game.

[@shikore22]

The terran played like diamond headless chicken

[@blackeva1]

I am moderately concerned.

[@technodrone313]

he said explosion of units

[@Brudface]

Game 2 was extremely painful to watch. Had me yoyo'ing who was going to win, until I knew.

[@blooddumpster3427]

I thought GumiHo was the peoples Terran? There was a whole thing about it.

[@christianfulton3918]

Cure played that absolutely awfully. Constant failed drops, not committing to taking out the protoss main in the first game when he was right there at the base trade and then not medivacing his troops and SCVs out of his own base.

[@defendermd2991]

5 storms GG, balance

[@SavantSvant]

Cure looking like a masters player. Wtf, really threw that game with the hidden base.

[@Oban2006]

Jimmy the best 😮

[@markfrost2307]

I watch this video with moderate concern for the enemy of the terran...

[@loudmouthjason5177]

when terran has more bases more money more upgrades more moves more tricks more hidden bases and still loses

[@Highwind79]

Cure probably watching a bit too many ByuN games

[@reinux]

I want a laser giraffe

[@TheLPRnetwork]

Hmmm. Cure should have gone battle cruisers. :(

[@BulDurham]

Good to see Terran get whooped

[@zergstirfry]

Anti-spoiler great idea

[@krzysztof1370]

Tarren getting Tarren treatment in (PvT) by Prostoss - insane :D

[@benismann]

SPOILER: Wait so did nightmare just successfully base-trade-ed a terran? How's it possible?

[@Jackbrick101]

Tbh sometime watching Cure makes me sad

[@benjaminhenderson5025]

Jimmy/Winter 2024

[@bigtruck1838]

Anti spoiler matchs are great

[@vladmatei1958]

We do NOT like you winter, because you failed to beat Serral. We only like Jimmy. And I guess we like your videos too. Reluctantly. Thumbs up.

[@mysteryblankdspace4342]

Uhh...why are they playing??practice? Tournament? Ladder? Weekly cup?

[@danielmead146]

zerg have mouths!
