A few years ago I repented to God then begged for help, "I was until then an Atheist." I then had a dream of Jesus coming before God and he spoke of the Tabernacle in perfect context, "A word I didn't know existed.", and what I felt from Jesus when I held him was unlike anything I've ever felt before - A lifetime of Love every second - It brought me to sobbing and it changed my life, forever. I've had Many experiences since, "Several witnessed", one was seeing a bright orb of light pass across my face in the dark, hours before a major surgery the second I gave up in my heart. Know that God and Jesus ARE real and that they Love us deeply. Let go of your hatred and Imagine yourself holding the people who've hurt you. Tell them you Love them. Always have hope, I believe that prayer, following God's laws & Love is the answer, and through that, Truly becoming humble, merciful, welcoming, giving, gentle, respectful, compassionate, patient, kind and forgiving, To Everyone.

The 'exciting' part is due to Artosis's commentary. I think he goes overboard hyping up some games. The fact that it works is absolutely a credit to him, I won't deny that. If you look at just the game itself, it's quite underwhelming.

That last moment ruined everything

Oh my gosh complete flashbacks to that Nada game. He was *way* too slow with the nuke though. If the opponent already has 8 ultras out, there's little point to then kill the sunkens. When Nada did it, his nuke was launched before any of the ultras even hatched. GGs

the smile you put on my face with your enthusiasm is amazing

artosis, i dont want you to change style. I want you to drag select, i want you to look everywhere. You constantly playing is why your content is good. Insight, knowledge and others.

drag select is fine for me. as an ex-player myself, i like the constant checking of things.

I don't think there's anything wrong with selecting units quickly or fast mouse movements when casting a replay. Not only does it keep people interested, but it helps show more inexperienced viewers where "the ball" is, or where to draw their attention to. Being able to interact with a replay on a surface level is something really unique to rts games and I honestly really like it.

Excellent cast! Glad to see this game!!

I don't mind the drag selecting! One of the things that sets these sorts of casts apart from a traditional cast is that there's less on the line, and you can do a bit more "analysis" rather than "hype" commentary. And drag selecting so we can see what you're talking about helps that. I tell you what though, here's one thing I've noticed: Since these aren't tournament vods, my attention tends to waver with some of these a bit more easily. HOWEVER, when you intro the video with a bit more exposition about WHY the viewer should care about this particular video, I tend to get more easily invested and care more. I always like when you do that.

Thank you for all your work putting these together. Speaking personally, I really like hearing about the history and analysis of what's happening (e.g. why building an evolution chamber/carapace is important and hints skipping mutalisks).

amazing game, amazing commentary, and with a tasteless reference thrown in!

Really looked like Rush experimenting and quiting out early to redo and rethink. It really seems like Rush could have crushed with more focus and better control there. Not to mention utilizing the second Nuke (starting it the second one launches)

I agree--I think if he backed up a teeny bit on his push so he wasnt shooting at high ground ultras as much and played the final push cooler he would've had it--just killing all those ultras and keeping his army in tact would have been crushing

It's been a while seeing nukes. I hope there's more of these, GG!

It feels like Action could have mustered some more lings to join in with the ultras near the end, surely he had the spare larva.

This was really a GEM

And rush is maxed out the nuke lands! It’s all over (1 defiler shows up) Artosis knows one defiled can beat 200 supply of Terran. He sinks lower into his chair and lets out a sigh. Rush gg’s, and all the life that was in his soul over the excitement of the successful nuke slowly drains away.

exciting game! Thanks for the cast

Great game, watching this through a backdoor because I hate KZread's ad policies! :)

Wow when you introduced zerg as top 8 one of the best underrated-macro zergs I guessed Action and it made me so happy because I listen to a lot of Artosis content and he just makes sense.

Good to see some unique strats

As someone who's very casually into the scene but watches all the ASLs and some off casts like this, I appreciate the inner Tasteless lol I forgot what Crazy Zerg was and explaining these seemingly redundant things are what got me into watching BW a couple years or so ago now. Maybe not necessary for all these off casts, but definitely necessary for competitions I think

​@@balintkis7085 I can see that being tiring. A good balance I think is during the early competition they explain stuff for new viewers, like Ro24 maaaybe Ro16. They should explain when they first introduce a build name in a competition. That would require them to remember if they said it earlier in the competition already though lol It's healthy for the community overall.

i really enjoy the way you cast, camera move too, if u want to be faster no problem, i think the most people who watch and back enjoy your person and want to support, so...

Using the minimap to frame the shot you show us can help with people who get motion sick watching a wasd cast. I dont mind either way! Great nuke, I was just shocked to see a ghost in ranked

dont change anything dude, youre amazing!

he didnt micro at all but let the marines shoot uphill on ultras

Wow… long time didn’t see terran player using nuke in the game. It was fun but have to be extremely careful especially using drop ships and sometimes your opponent might killed all the ghosts inside the drop. If he could use multiple nukes at the same time might confused his opponent’s response. So the strategy might work a little more efficiently than expected. Thank you Artosis for explaining the nuke strategy.

Artosis cast is everytime the best by miles

10:12 -- *WHY* didn't he suicide the scourge to get at least ONE of the Dropships ?! O_o The marines were too far away to snipe them down... !! :O .

9:24 I'M GONNA CROUUUURRRRBBB

Thanks for the constant content

These are so great! You have such funny and warm commentary. I wouldn’t mind some SC2 Artosis casts too... BattleAxe

i love the drag selecting. feels more like a dissection and less like an observation

I enjoyed seeing the nuke!

Zerg never dies! Dark Swarm = cant kill me

Why didn't Rush at 13:45 went & sniped hatchery or went for the drones, instead of pulling group of marines to lower ground ?

I feel like nukes are underutilized in TvZ.

Wow, 2in1 treat, Ultra with nuke in a high level game. Thanks.😊

gotta love the home alone thumbnail

I would love to see ZvZ's with in main second hatches, especially if they mine gas from the natural. im thinking it was just a niche build that wont work next ASL.

Top notch thumbnail, A+

What a cool game, love seeing nukes!

I was once doing a presentation and i was clicking various elements so much that my boss had to remind me to stop doing it multiple times. Didn't even know that it's muscle memory from RTS play. I don't mind the drag selects during casts at all, they give us more info about unit counts and unit status.

the correct play by Rush after landing the nuke would have been to *_maintain_** the perimeter (rather than try to **_expand_** it...) and try to go for a SECOND nuke* , either at same place or elsewhere... Instead... *HE TRIED TO ATTACK ULTRAS ON HI-GROUND, WHILE SITTING ON **_LO_** - GROUND... o_O* Well... What can I say... Expected results... :P .

Always listen to the tasteless voice and explain what terms mean. It let’s new players, (or old players who don’t know the meta) to know what things mean.

You’re my favourite commentator so far 💪🏼

If everything happened the same, but the natural wasn't on high ground, then I think Rush would have won (but then maybe zerg wouldn't have went for crazy zerg either who knows)

really cool game and cast. would be nice to go over what terran could have done to prevent losing to ultras there

The post-game thoughts were good

The Terran gave up a bit too quickly.

Thank you Artosis, this format was much more enjoyable for me than the last 2 videos. As always, your hard work is appreciated.

i remember playing this when it came out, i remember my first vs match being terrified of zerglings, i was 7 or 8 yo lol, played more wc2 and eventually 3 when it came out but always loved the sc campaign and style of the game, very nostalgic thinking about it, i started playing 2 like 5 years ago. wondering if artosis will try stormgate tho, its lookin pretty good

9:25 has me dying lolol

RT "Hey guys" octave 5 - very mild

2:10 yes, Good players And Artosis click around a lot.

how much better would ghosts be if they just had passive cloak like DTs

Thx gor for cold fusion!

Does dark swarm protect from nuke. Also do buildings take ranged damage under dark swarm?

@ArtosisCasts you should release a "Remastered" version in QHD then it would be a 14:40 long match in 1440p. Dead serious.
