a "find the red dot" meme with 2 pictures of classic's batteries with and without nuke like 'find the 7 differences' could definitly have a place in the background meme patchwork (we all know Brenda loves patchworks)

@aaabatteries9948

@@jsonkody Not sure if Classic picked the red color, unless he plays with Team colors enabled which is unusual. When observing the game defaults to red and blue, despite the colors that the player picks in the option menu. Most players usually don't pick red for their units because the game's default color scheme for the opponent is red and most players keep it that way, so im guessing classic just didn't see the dot.

​@aaabatteries9948 This should be correct. He was probably playing with a different color. He could hear it coming however...

Classic is just helping solar feel less alone now. Nukes can happen to anyone.

"Some of my best friends are terran" lol. Thats out of pocket af lol

18:00' it isn't the end of the world right here ' 40 sec later😅 is Armageddon

The selling point of the WinterStarcraft channel for me is when the caster names the units like Brenda and Dave.

Took me 5 rewinds to see the dot tho :D

Maru has unleashed game-ending nukes on Solar, Classic, and himself. Zerg, Protoss, and Terran - all three SC2 races!

Maru doesn't need nukes to land, nukes need him to land, that nuke position was absolutely perfect it hit every unit in that clump better than the Solar nuke incident because at least some of the corrupters survived now Classic has that Maru nuke curse now like Solar truly a new patch note introduction

​​​@@yugonostalgia8961classic has a better nuke detonation placement but Solar's Nuke was more devastating because he was winning and it turned the tides completely when it hits, while Maru was ahead of Classic the entire time and the nuke was just rubbing salt in the wound

Glad I caught it live for once, I live for moments like that nuke

@17:10 to all those who wants a quick peek at the nuke.

Winter thx you for marking the video with the new patch info.😊

Being partially responsible for widow mine nerfs has earned you a lifetime of likes from me... but I was probably gonna do it anyway.

Never gave it a lot of thought, but it really made no sense for WMs to gain cloak by simply having an armory. It's been a long week but I'm struggling to think of another unit that automatically gains an upgrade simply by building a new structure. Also MY GOD THAT NUKE!!! 😮

Yeap! This is what puts Maru and Serrral light years appart from any other pro! They don't just use one or two units very good but they use every unit in the same game for different purposes and do it good, they are consistent! They are spell caster specialists!!!

47:00 Love you Winter! You do make my day better, thank you for that!!

Perfect timing to zoom in for the thumbnail. It's just beautiful

i am so glad there's protoss in the thumbnail, so i know it's not another Solar.

Thats why you dont play red color. |Maru put the nuke in the shield battery corner, witch is red color :D

Seeing maru build a line of AA turrets, while bringing like 9 SCV's to the front line on auto repair so after each engagement he has a squad to fully reset his units was finally. The most bronze league hero comment section build even what ive said (but use mules build more orbitals). Seeing it in action was fucking oppressive to say to least and knowing other terrans might start copying it is not looking good for anyone else.

17:15 winter, you are amazing sir!!! as always ty for your hard work and dedication!!! glhf fam

1 nuke, 68 supply, from 196 to 128.. god dayum that's brutal (25 kills on the ghost from that nuke) All Tempest, Stalkers are dead only Archons, Mothership and Carrier (and 1 single immortal) is left alive

@@GatorWinup Because of the Scans it was just impossible. Just have a look to the lost of every Oracle because Maru has more range and these players are too fast. And observers are impossible to put in front of a Terran battle.

Now people will say nukes are OP. But the chances of getting a hit like this is nearly impossible, mostly times is a mistake from the oter player that eats it. Moves the army: loses: 2 cannons and 1 pylon. Gosht killed: zero dmg C'mon, where else could that nuke being launched?

Things that go ⚡☄️⚡ BOOM Cheers Winter 🥶❄️🥶

Didn't they plan on removing the sea monster from Oceanborne? I'm surprised to see it survived the new patch and is still around to provide a massive distraction

That was so satisfying!

Even when Dark is not playing, he gets mentioned and Protoss built a shrine to him. I don't have a point. Just mentioning it.

Big ups love watching Maru

I like that the widow mine line is now reminiscent of the Raven's seeker missile of old. Not a perfect fix (I'm not a fan of anything Z or T that would do extra to shields because it feels very biased) but at least at the pro level it's much easier to micro against than it used to be. I'd still love to see EMP lose its damage against shields (goodbye energy is strong already), but baby steps lol

Not the most exciting thumbnail a Protoss can see, but here we go.

What if Protoss had an auto-tracking system for Tempests to coordinate which marine they’re targeting, preventing ten of them from targeting the same unit and wasting shots?

always make my day better

That nuke @ 17|16, so EPIC

wish there was a cam on classic on that nuke hit

Maru the TPM raiser ever since his fight against Parting where he nuked himself, that badluck probably gave Maru the favor of the Nuke Gods for witnessing that

Let's frigging Go!! My day is always better watching 🎉

Got crazy when I saw this I wish you were doing the casting.

I cant` see the dot. It`s somewhere on that shield battery?

"Hey Dave" "Hey Bob, what are you doing here? Only one SCV can build a command centre at a time, it's a complex process." "I know, it's strange, but Command said we'd need two SCV's for this job."

Loved the nuke and how quick Maru pounced once it landed.

Ive watched alot of Pro SC2. Ive seen some ok nukes. This is by far the most effective Nuke Ive ever seen in a pro level.

God I missed that fusion core sound.

What a crazy 2nd game!

That was so satisfying to watch....!!!

5min17sec into the video, but i already know that it is going to be a wonderful 40 minutes of my life. Thx Зима

never would I think to see such a massive nuke go off in top plays lol

This brings back memories of the Maru vs Solar nuke lol

winttersc: it isn´t the end of the world(a few minutes later)Maru nuke every thing xD.

I am always so confused when I open a video and it's not dark

Classic is never going to live that one down.

at 10.02 Classic almost killed his own carrier with the tempest. what a misslick A move :D

Holy nuke!

A potential fix to Protoss splash damage: Make Colossi shorter so air-only units don't counter them. If Phoenixes, Vikings, and Corruptors no longer hit Colossi, other units would have to step up, significantly shaking up the mid and late game meta. Which would be a pleasant change because, you know, Colossi are barely present in the midgame and do not exist in the late game at all.

What a nuke! That is up there with the best nukes of all time, nevermind just this year.

Good to see TVP is just as miserable for protoss as always

That was the best nuke I have ever seen in sc2.

Oppenheimer would be proud

"a nuke to the face cant be good.. citation needed"

17:04 Nuke

Starcraft for life!

I normally hate Terran gameplay but Maru is the only one that I really like his matches. Hes a really great Terran player....unlike others.

A mothership can handle a direct hit from a nuke??? As can carriers? Has the nuke been nerfed?

Honestly i've always been of the opinion that widowmines should do less damage, but lower cd. but i dont know any numbers or anything so its an opinion of ignorance.

One of these days, I’m gonna find out who this mysterious ‘Jimmy’ is😂

Aw yeah let's see it

"terrans dont have shields" marines do get a shield tho :)

Do those hearthstone cards actually apply i cant really tell, but that'd be a neat mutator

That's rare to see

Maru: "BOMBARDMENT"

Winter is: 1/3 Terran 1/3 Brenda 1/3 2nd Pylon

i propose to grant maru the duke em nuke em title

Any patch that nerfs the Widow Mine is a good patch. Don't care that they buffed every other terran unit, it's a small price to pay

Bring back the Archon Toilet

Nice

Why? 17:00 Classic didn’t see the dot at all P.s. was nice to watch these matches

That nuke...

To the rant about widow mines - I'd like to mention that so many times they just hurt the Terran player badly, and they are absolutely unreliable as a counter to ling bane. They do well against chargelots but that's about it. Why should a unit that everybody moans about and Terrans hate it no less should be in the game. Give us campaign Firebats and we're good, or give hellbats +1 base armour with "light" tag and it's also fine.

"How many obbitals does he have? 21..." WTF "...turrets and 7 orbital" You gave me a heart attack right about there

i turn away when i see mass viking vs mass protoss air lol. you know how that will end. Protoss is so easily countered.

What did he mean by that @ 46:50 ?

Classic just got Solared nuke..

Tempest should do splash damage.

As a Protoss player that nuke was hard to watch.

The nuke was epic but that second game win from Classic was awesome

"...look how they massacred my boy..."

Terran Army so op last fight...

Solar can now smile in his dream knowing someone else ate a bigger nuke than him 🤣
