That hold by MaxPax in game 4 was just insane....

Man love to see protoss do well against such a strong zerg player. Great battles, could have easily gone either way as even small things made such a huge impact.

It was always been a powerful tool even before patch 5.0.12. The previous patch size of Mass Recall and 200 energy for Double Mass Recall was very good. Sadly rarely anyone use it. I could be wrong though.

I see Maxpax, I click. I see Hero, I cringe, but still probably click..

Love to see the toss win. Crazy decisions and almost play style swap from both players

Oh....Snap!! Winter Casting SC2.. Here for it!

I just LOVE the memes shown between the games 🤩

Thanks for the cast WinterStarcraft

Winter does the same, he has a whole playlist for "games of the year". I think it's just a necessary evil, a clickbait sacrifice to our sombre algorithmic overlords.

Dude maxpax was clearing trying to make dark confident the first two games just so just to grow his actual style off.

what a great series. action packed right up till the end. couldve gone either way too.

I love the two drone joke has kept going.

That was beautiful !

A conspicuously good video!

great games and great commentary as always!

Cause zerg is op race that has advantage at literally everything. Best scouting, earliest starting units, best economy, cheap upgrades, fastest maxing out, lurkers countring any ground army, corruptors countring any air army, even if you lose your limit you can max out it in literally seconds. No wonder there are so many zergs among top pro players. Bugs, roaches and dogs dominate humans and aliens, nice design. Big fly can pull mothership with its tongue, cool.😂😂😂

Hello all! So, I'm not even a month into watching Starcraft casts, and one of the things that I keep finding discussed about Protoss is the Warpgate/Gateway distinction. Why aren't Gateways used? And, why are the two things so...controversial, it seems, about the meta around Protoss. It is build speed, resources, or some kind of Jank that happens at different levels of play? RSVP!

@ChingooOK

3 ай бұрын

warpgates let you remax your units quicker, at any location where you have power field. this gives you more flexibility to respond to or launch counterattacks after a big engagement/skirmish. uThermal has a series on trying to get to grandmasters with gateway though, its pretty entertaining/insightful

@zachlong5427

3 ай бұрын

Okay. Is it like a "sidegrade" in intent but is de facto an "upgrade"? Does it cost more resource to warp units compared to normal production

@Forgotyournapkins

3 ай бұрын

It’s a cheap upgrade that you always get as Protoss early on in the game (some rare build orders you might not, typically air). Really the only purpose of Gateways is to balance the beginning of games where insta warpgate would create too much of an advantage in the under 2:00 min-ish portion of the game

@SteelValyrian

3 ай бұрын

@@zachlong5427 Being able to warp in units on the fly wherever you have pylon power is huuuuge. For a while it was all Protoss had almost, and they are still called a "gimmicky" race. Often times it is good strategy to not max out your whole supply- keep it around 170 or so and you can warp in very deadly attacks from unexpected flanks and onto vulnerable bases. Even the main base can be a flank. Maxpax almost lost the last game with a bad flank into the main using his mothership. There are many examples to see of him using his prism in general of course for awesome counters. Just watch the where/when he attacks. The game has changed a lot over the years, Toss being able to warp in and recall has been refined over years of balance and players discovering the mechanic's depth. You can use standard gateways. They are fine and reliable production, just ask the Terran and Florencio =P

@bigprank3964

@@zachlong5427 Warpgate is an upgrade and not a sidegrade. Warpgates are considered to be better than Gateways, always, in every situation. It does cost the same amount of resources to warp in units with Warpgates and to produce them normally in Gateways

they should play all 3 races, best of 5

So nice to see good mothership use.

Love to see a Protoss win. Still love Dark, his playstyle is super entertaining and he's creative af. But Protoss just seems so disadvantaged right now, I gotta cheer for the underdog

MOST PROFESSIONAL

11:40 Before this point i doubted if the workers lost popup (on the left) didnt work, since so many adepts tried to harass them, but nope, it works. Dark just doesnt lose drones

9:16 After win you gotta add terstarcraft though! Doesn't work otherwise.

I've known about winterstarcraft for years, but I just started watching him alot recently. I think artosis + tasteless together cant be beat, but I think winter is better than either of them individually, possibly the best solo caster in the genre. My two cents.

How long did it take you to come up with today transition to likes and subscribes? so clever!

What a game. By the way, a noob question. Zergs got nidus, protos got mother ship recall and base recall besides the gateways and war prism. Terrans have mules and BC tactical jump?

"Hold the line ladies!"

Man im gonna miss watching Dark play

Dark's single-g on game 4 and 5. Omg what a c-word. The loss was completely his fault, MaxPax pulled off an impossible hold in game 4 and just outplayed him in game 5.
