As a newb getting into this game for the first time, your videos have given me the strength to beat the very hard bots in versus! Your channel has made me fall in love with this game again after not playing since I was literally 10 playing SC1. Thank you Winter!

It’s crazy I look at the whole tournament, and because SC2 is 1 player instead of a team, first place in sc2 has the highest single person prize of any game there

Street Fighter 6 also had the big Million dollar grand prize at last year's Capcom Cup to celebrate its release. I beleive next one is also set to be 1M but a bit smaller of total prize pool for 2nd,3rd etc

Think its technically still split between the org they're signed with and such or other stuff, it's still handily 6 figures but don't think they take home all 7 - I mean the greatest of all time just barely scrape 7 figures over their whole careers

I love all the asides to Jimmy. When I first started watching Winter I really did think he had an assistant named Jimmy he gave a hard time to.

Same here as well. He has the perfect blend of in-depth commentary and extremely witty humor. His passion for the game, and respect for the players, is also a joy to behold.

“Showtime showing us he wont take this shin anymore” he wrote that one down before the cast

4:04 “It’s Time to Show everyone he’s not taking this Shin anymore” Winter you never fail to bring a laugh with your expert commentary 😆

"Showtime backed up against the himself right now." What you did there, I see it.

I love Winters comparison between "caster" and "commentator". Keep up the great vids sir!

28:00 "Now you got a serious probe-blem." Perfection.

Commentary was so on point for this one, absolutely hilarious. 10/10 Love this f'n guy

As expected Shin started by running head first into the wall. But he kept his Shin up. And cause a lot of Probe-lems for the Wall who slowly crumbled. Ironically in the end, his own disruptors, disrupted his chances of winning. So as physics agrees, a wall cannot move, and can't go to the championship. Great casting Winter!

If Showtime and Swarmhost were instead spelt Showtm and Swmhost, then all of the letters would go in each other's

I don't know how you worked this out, but it is true. :)

15:06 we know what comparison you were thinking of winter

Great casting - I mean commentating - as always Winter. Thanks so much. I like the recent trend of wearing a jacket too, which adds to the image of being a commentator vs a 'mere' caster too.

Love your commentary and positive vibe.

Game 5 is such a slugfest. Great commentary and very exciting match!

I love how he talks like he is about to laugh. Makes me smile 😅

An extra long winter cast for a cool match-up between players is what I love to see! Hope you get to cast some of the matches that take place in the EWC proper.

You are such a solid announcer! Makes all the diff in the world

Lol been waiting months to use that mother ship poster to get his "paper" joke in. Love it

Haven’t played SC since the early 2000s and barely understand what’s going on but watching this with your commentary was great! Great content

Showtime is a pro-player who has a very special talent for making the Qualifiers for the Round of 16 feel like the Grand Finals

Winter is such a big dark fan boy that even in a game where dark isn't competing, Winter talks more about dark than the players in the current game😂

27:38 was awesome, I mean really!

24:37 The 3 Dusketeers

Winter is just the best caster out there... period.

The timing on the mothership joke had me dying 🤣

Also I’m pretty sure showtime thought he had already built a robo in G2 because he was floating so much gas

You really are incredible at this, the wits, the awareness, it’s always great to watch you cast 👍

I normally don’t click for thumbnails. But 7 oracles in the mineral line is something I gotta see

Nail biter of a series. Those two are so well matched!

Baneling eyed joe?? This guys just doesn’t miss.

39:54 the Archon shot at the top right

Back and forth series are so good!

"If you will see this diagram you will know more about the mother ship. Notice it is made of paper."

gotta love the moment Showtime said "It's Showtimin time!" and Showtimed all over the place

Out here with the brutal mothership jokes I can't even

I love your bits. Queen Brenda and Jimmy are so good

The blueprint bit... I nearly died laughing

I still can't believe dynasty got into the map pool... It's so bad for zerg to play on it might as well just pop up a loss screen on match start.

Saved myself an hour and a half finding out that they still have not fixed protoss.

Winter should have at least 400K subs!

That mothership joke was top-tier 🤣 1:35:57

Dude he the best "bad dad" terrible puns.

The correct plural of nexus is nexuses, or alternatively nexus. Correct and accepted: One nexus. Multiple nexuses. Multiple nexus. Incorrect: Multiple nexi. This stems from the latin etymology of the word "nexus", as it is different than the word "cactus" for instance, since it is a fourth, and not second, declension noun. (This is much more rare, which is why there is a common misunderstanding)

I respect your dedication and longevity

"Showtime has solid base level mechanics" - fk me winter 🤣

1:15:35 Can confirm it translates over the video.

im not taking your "shin" anymore haha

When you're about to win - just build carriers.... every time lol

What a series

I'm really curious what is to the right of you when you cast that you look at when you seem to be talking to someone else. Is it a poster of something, or a pile of stuffies?

I can't tell if "Shin's throw it at The Wall and see if it sticks strategy" was intentional.

Happy to be one of the 1367

how can i not love everything you do?

The fact that the loser in the last game (avoiding spoilers) let the other player walk right into his bases and sit down like he owned the place...twice...wow.

1:13:43 The Stasis that Won the Game

Nice!

The suit with a t shirt is a 10/10 from me.

Help Winter and like the video. For the algorithm!!!

Haha, wordsmith winter. Clever clever very enjoyable

How tf did showtime hold that 😮

I want to glow up in my mid 20s to early 30s like showtime did.

Need more unit voices! The broodling MrRrmrrmrrr sound was cool!

"Get off my creep!" 😂

Did you know on KZread you can drag the closed captioning to a different spot on the video so you can see better? I just found out on PC.

Love you, Winter. Say, "hi"!

Keep up the great work mate hope yoûre doing well😊

I dont think I can survive mass oracle meta again. Still remember the pre nerf oracles when 5 would just fly in and nuke down queens, spores, hydras(oh they did bonus vs light btw) AND the lair

32:56 4th anniversary iirc

Game 5... new what was gonna happen as soon that carrier enter the production que

Thank You Om nom nom

Great work from Jimmy, some of his best work yet. Winter better up his game or he's going to lose him to a producer that recognizes his immense talent.

Smashing that like button 1 cast at a time. Would smash it once per game if yt let me.

$1M is a lot of money. I will never play at a pro-gamer level, but my father used to tell me: "You can never make any money playing game!" Well, I suppose my father has a point, haha. So far, I have only SPEND on games. People can and do make money from games, not me.
