I know there's a new GAME OF THE YEAR every week (especially with IEM Katowice soon™) but this one checks all the boxes for me. Neither player plays a perfect min/max game, but they just keep throwing units at each other until they nothing is left.

[@isaacerwin9402]

If you time the time of upload towards your viewer base you will get alot more short term views when you launch a video ❤, (ex: fridays at 4)

[@EngIlya]

​@@isaacerwin9402 meh don't game the algorithm - do your part best. If these videos are good they always wait on top of youtube recommendations.

[@dtczyk8976]

It’s like when a game wins game of the year in January!

[@magicpitt64]

appreciate your uploads broddah. always enjoyable

[@moonlord5951]

Your casts are great man glad to see em everyday haha.

[@MikolajBrozek]

At the end of the year it should be a competition between all of these "game of the year" videos 🤣🤣

[@lifenote1943]

Omg that’s a great idea 😂

[@milttron1385]

winner idea

[@charliem3108]

Game of the year OF the games of the year

[@flyselbyhigh]

The Game of the Year (so far) and Game of the Year (post-year)

[@Joe-dq2wb]

It's what he said he would do last year, not sure if it ever happened. I'm all in for it @WinterStarcraft

[@ShazbotDesign]

13:45 "Thankfully he has some friends comin in; making them unique among Starcraft players." - That cut deep, I felt that. lol

[@ryanjensen1945]

immortal chargelot archon definitely feels like the most 'lore protoss' army.

[@GrippeeTV]

With Colossus burning the field, With stalkers and DT’s ambushing from behind the enemy

[@celeron55]

@@GrippeeTV That's the "variety pack" army

[@kathorsees]

Idk, to me, it's zealot-dragoon-carrier. (and realistically, it's probe-photon cannon, lol)

[@BoxCox]

We need a game of the year yearly playlist at this point. The year is starting good.

[@joelebrown4355]

I have good news…

[@Mike-fl3zx]

With Hero it's not a matter of IF but WHEN the zerlings are gonna get in...🤣🤣🤣 This guy is just great at casting

[@scottevensen2615]

29:40 That was the decisive blow! What a catch! 👍

[@SD-jf7nb]

If you have broods in your army, it's best to zig-zag as you move so you don't leave your slow ass brood lord's hanging like that. 😢

[@AlexCatable]

​@@SD-jf7nbhe was responding to herO's recall and moving to intercept the attack on his northern base. Leaving broods open. Next level play from herO

[@queasybeetle]

This really really is the game of the year

[@anderandersson5229]

Just enough sloppy plays, perfect plays and just enough plays 😅awesome 😊

[@AlexCatable]

Sometimes what seems to us like a sloppy play is just the other guy giving it all and making what looks impossible happen. When Reynor went in for killing blow having almost twice the supply I guess we all were sure , herO is finished. How he held on is unbelievable ​@@anderandersson5229

[@laureloneiros1500]

Burrowed infestors crawling under the army makes sure that they can’t be target-fired or selected for feedback, neural parasite instantly gives you +4 army supply worth of units per cast and give the enemies -4. Pretty nice strat, good thing that reynor wasn’t facing a race that has the ability to disable all spell casting in a large area with no target selection

[@AlexCatable]

Can it be the same race that doesn't have to rely on observers to look for hidden stuff?

[@SilverforceX]

Also the race that doesn't need workers late-game with energy -> superior workers, max army supply hax

[@berndarndt9924]

Looks like hero beat one of the good races with the weak one. And the infestor ability shouldn't be in sc2.

[@x8axe8x]

Hero was decisive af there Was wonderful to see the protoss zerg the zerg

[@madchad7385]

Can confirm with title, this is indeed starcraft 2

[@kathorsees]

thanks for letting others know! I wanted to make sure it's StarCraft II before committing to the 32-min video, so went to the comment section to check first. and I was not disappointed!

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

Man, this felt like one of those battles in the semi-finals of a tournament arc, where neither of the fighters are the main protagonist/villain, so narratively either one of them could win and it wouldn't matter much. So, both characters just go absolutely all out for the win, and it turns out to be the best fight in the whole arc.

[@TheNerdForAllSeasons]

29:45 Parting approves of this blink

[@unclenchasbestos]

The secret cool thing about this game was heros queen purge build at the beginning. Presumably the only way to really stay even with zerg in the midgame.

[@phillipheilman6353]

11:22 I laughed out lout at "you guys have phones" it came out of no where and just got me so bad. 😂

[@IfritMiraZ]

Here's to hoping there are Brenda / Winter blacking out moments HAHA

[@alltat]

We need a compilation video.

[@jtmh31]

Lord. You saying, "You have phones" is the best comment ever. You win the interwebz today, Sir!

[@yugonostalgia8961]

What a amazing game to watch. @winterstarcraft wish you casted the full series, only 30 min of winter isn't enough!

[@rubenloza1920]

This one is bookmarked. Geez, great game

[@antoinefroidevaux]

just starting this now but yesterday's game Reynor (Jackfrost) vs MaNa was such a rollercoaster!

[@Junkrat3325]

One of the best parts of my day. Thank you sir.

[@Trog16]

Oh my goodness that first game, what a roller coaster!

[@zenbeast5891]

I miss playing this. Too many good memories

[@StarryTemplar]

I personally think Protoss should build their Pylon in random spot, or like Zergs. so they can have army rebuild, reinforce anywhere.

[@CorvusCorps]

Hey dude, I haven't watched sc2 since heart of the storm. Thanks for doing these. I love watching these pro games and your commentary has me laughing. Thanks brother!

[@WizardyDylan]

i wonder if hero forgot he had all those air upgrades from that void+ oracle early game, it felt like there were some great opportunities to go for air

[@anthonydespoja1507]

At 2.30 "Get off my creep" - love your facial/hand expressions Winter!

[@willeatpants7691]

flying void ray, hidden zealots!

[@DotteeG]

This was indeed Starcraft 2. What a crazy game!

[@TheRealDeadRock]

Thanks for another great cast!

[@callmeghostly7632]

We need games of the month with these plays being so frequent.

[@edmundkempin3170]

Lack of Hydras baffles me

[@Wimana868]

Man what a game!!!! Hero really fought for that win he deserves it

[@ElysaraCh]

7:21 Metaphoracle

[@feelmakecreativevideoagenc9468]

I want to see more games like the last one in this series! SC2!!!

[@defendermd2991]

The infestors are the ghosts of the zerg, the pride of special zerg forces!!!

[@AngryTyplosion]

I know nothing about Starcraft but it keeps recommending your videos

[@codyestes6596]

One of the best games I've seen in forever.

[@michaelmart456]

Harstem said that once Lowko made a "Game of the Year" video on this game nobody was allowed to flame him because this was actually was the game of the year.

[@CrimsonA1]

What. A. Match!

[@WolfGangDealers]

Second Game of the Year so far and we haven't finished the month. Banger matches and I can't wait for more!

[@BigHeadClan]

I thought hero was down and out at least two separate times this game, but my god what a nail bitter this turned out to be.

[@churchobama2781]

Winter this is the third game of the year video and it’s January.

[@michaeldarch9715]

Amazing match.

[@wilshireanasurimbor3068]

Crouching void ray hidden zealot, would have been the pun there.

[@slevinlaine]

Lets gooo! Another game of the year! : )

[@jonsolo32]

I don't know why we don't see more Void Ray openings. It was shown in this game that you gain map advantage when used with Oracles.

[@anderandersson5229]

What a game!! 😊

[@kacperstepek8478]

hidden forge crouching chargelot build ;)

[@jakebrewable]

Of all the games that was one of them

[@NHGeneral]

So rare for Protoss to win against Zerg these days, wow!

[@jasonwood8493]

Amazing match

[@tondekoddar7837]

Jimmy ! Remember to patent moracles and foracles ! And remember to keep count for ppl who don't watch dates... Ty Jimmy.

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

I think broodlords and building 9-12 queens is a good idea, because queens are thick bodies low damage, but the eaiblity to heal your heavy hitters that ahe lots of hp... I like how he went Immortal.. I would of went, void ray... and half hte ammout nof immortals.. just so I had an air pressence, since he doesn't have hydras or anti air... relatively great exchange unit and surprise unit, especially if yo ucan tech spire snipe... spire is the best building protoss shoudl always snipe. COnstantly sniping a zergs spire, spells death typically. lol if your going air...

[@CreepingTerror]

Man, I totally thought this was Stormgate.

[@jtjdt]

I don’t ever comment, but I’ve been watching for years. Thanks so much for your dedication to the craft. 🥰

[@cathulionetharn5139]

Thank You Om nom nom

[@johnnyq2486]

Better change Reynor's card nickname to Daenarys because he's playing the Game of Throws lately.

[@freshsmilely]

you could pick like 6 different times any other play would have tapped out. no idea how they held but they did.

[@ethangorman5685]

Jimmy has got to start turning up these like numbers, it’s just too easy

[@cooperleher10]

I like when i get to like the video before it hits the daily Jimmy target

[@jkoenig2677]

Wait a sec… hero just got rinsed but there’s 15 mins of game left…

[@CrimzonClover]

SPARTA!!!

[@StarFreeze1]

Was one of my fav games wish it was a best of 3

[@WuYixiang]

It was BO5, iirc.

[@poulthomas469]

At this point I think we need to be talking about 'game of the Decade' goty just doesn't cut it anymore.

[@matclc1]

Why didn't Raynor make Hydra in the beginning, to defend against the oracles?🤔

[@hivetech4903]

Didn't need too, it wasn't a mass oracle build.

[@fongtaiyuk1462]

It’s an absolute disaster! Haha, I really like when Winter says that! Get offffffff myyyyyy creeeeeeeep!

[@vox5505]

After the patch, ZvP is the only matchup keeping SC2 worth watching, but it really is SO good!

[@onehitko9810]

what is the card @ the start of the video? are those real powerups shadowstep/gatekeeper. i cant find much info. sorry i dont play sc2 just a noob spectator

[@jennifer_dreamzzz]

❤️

[@SBU_007]

Top kek episode thank you ser

[@ironmonkey1512]

If they don't have mouths, how do they consume energy drinks?

[@CelestialDesign]

Is this the second game of the year in january?

[@FamSisher]

The boy who cried GAME OF THE YEAR

[@christianwarrior249]

25:05 it is in God's hands

[@dtczyk8976]

Why didn’t hero kill drones after he killed most of the queens?

[@novitrix9671]

Spoilers. The amount of effort it takes for protoss to get even a pyrrhric victory is disgusting. Someone explain to me very slowly the counter to Ling runbys and infestor parasite please.(I know about Hightemplars practically short range energy denial ability, realistically not feasible when they will just get slowed and zoned out on the approach.) Also very alarming that the protoss makes a warp prism and voidray or two early and does good with them... then just forgors, especially when broods are made?!?! 1-2 voidrays left on patrolling all bases would have drastically changed the feel/tempo of this game.

[@FinoClips]

24 queens dead...crazy game!

[@rockjock3]

This is quite possibly the first time I have rooted for a Protoss player to win. And I normally root for Zerg.

[@louel9272]

How about a game of the month instead each month for 12 months then we get a poll at the end of the year for the real game of the year

[@yizhengliu1066]

without lurker and hydras, i feel like zerg is easier to beat for toss (constant snipe on observers rather than reynor let obi see it all)

[@ManDuderGuy]

GOTY confirmed

[@drumcorpful]

I'm new to this channel! It's amazing! But I have one question... is Jimmy real or? :D

[@themasterofall848]

Jimmy ain't real, its a bit, now go tell jimmy you appreciate his work

[@lifenote1943]

Jimmy is real

[@JarvisValko]

Sure he is

[@streamfun9228]

Jimmy is as real real as god is praise Jimmy

[@terrorjackson]

You are Jimmy ;)

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

That would be a cool update, units get ranking system, but if you clikc on them provide their hiring/cost/forge wahtever, against their kill cost accumilation. IE 25m for a ling.. Be easy to add, and each unit would have its money value, to a get a better picture, and then the losers that you paid for but did 0. SO negative net, lol

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

dt's are good homebased probe defense cheap too... z and p... not so much terran because of scan.

[@dryliss7639]

Palworld is gonna be Game of the Year Just saying

[@DeuceOnFace]

IS JIMMY A REAL PERSON?

[@scotthopkins9323]

I think your counting is off. Wasn't yesterday's video 1245?

[@Englocked]

BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONZE

[@astrofun4221]

come on Winter we both know it wont make any sence, when a queen tells voidr. to stay off her creep, or didnt you notice that its a flying unit, jeez..

[@michaelwoodby5261]

Speed or not, Ultras are such a waste of money.

[@cjfletcher325]

Ultras still suck bring back armor and siege attack
