Omg this is the funniest shit ever
Love this new show. Reminds me of chess players using stockfish when they start losing. Also, scout zerglings are now called observelings. I will not be taking questions at this time.
lets take a moment to appreciate that that pig responded to people confused about who was playing the opponent, 7 times!! + the pinned comment
This is an awesome idea - Other creators have done stuff like this for other games and I like how you've approached it here! I think if you are looking to give people "advice" or a review after, it would be good to add a very brief bullet-point section at the end! You make some very keen observations about what to do while playing through it, I think a summary at the end would be good. "Here's what we needed to do throughout the game prior to this in order to lessen the impact of any disasters, and here's the specific things we needed to do during and after this disaster to recover from it. Looking forward to the next one!
If i had a dolla every time Pig says 'I think Flo might be screwed here', and then Flo destroys his opponent, i would have like a twenty thousand dolla.
This was really cool, awesome idea!! Looking forward to seeing more of this :)
This is more akin to Minion Masters and other vs mode games. Instead of improving what worked and innovating they instead just removed it all. All complexity and strategy outside combat is almost completely gone. Also as a spectator I want to see the development of the players strategies they make outside of combat, give the player enough options to create their own style. In Battle Aces every game looks the same. It's a blobby mess of combat too, individual micro of important units is also gone... I really hope this does not become huge because then everyone will copy it and then RTS will truly be dead. I can't believe David Kim would make an anti RTS.
I'm not playing vs AI - I'm recovering the replays vs a masters random player in the opponents slot. I encourage them to look around the replay and be familiar with the position whilst I'm going in blind other than the players explanation. I had SO much fun with this new show, I'll definitely be turning this into a regular show!
What a cool idea. We will keep providing you the most hopeless positions you can think of.
Oh what if you taken one of Flo's games where he somehow won against all odds, would you have won too 😅
Bombers seem like a "win more" unit to the extreme and you can do very little about it? Feels not quite balanced yet, but perhaps that's hard to judge from these games alone.
9:07 ahahhaa, if i did that i'd be too far ahead, we don't want that, they might gg
I can see where this would be useful to identify the mistakes a player made prior to Pig taking over, but as Pig is playing from a replay, isn't the AI controlling the enemy units? Does a player like Pig being able to defeat the AI really tell us much?
I recovered these games vs a masters random player, forgot to include that explanation in the video
@@PiGstarcraft I see. I was down with the idea of seeing if you could recover a lost game, but a player of your caliber trouncing the AI didn't strike me as very informative. Knowing you're up against another competent player makes all the difference.
Who is your opponent playing against you during the replay? Another pro player??
I recovered these games vs a masters random player, forgot to include that explanation in the video
Thanks!
Thanks Soldier!
play being able to go into a game that was played and play it yourself is a really cool rts feature that looks really awsome!
How on earth does this work ? As soon as you restart the opponant isnt controlling their army etc anymore
I recover replay with a masters player in the opponents slot
"Please caster, save me from disaster"
PiG this is a brilliant idea for a series. It's like one of those things that very few people can do, because it combines your GM level skill with your extensive coaching and commentary experience to create something valuable. Your B2GM series is great but your skill means that you don't get caught up in these weird disastrous positions that us normies get caught in every single time way play, and part of SC2 is knowing how to recover (or at least move forward) from a bad state. This whole thing was like a lesson on improvisation, as well as a demonstration of how that extra skill can be applied to turn a losing position into a winning one. It reminds me of some of those puzzle games that throw you into the middle of a weird scenario with a handful of very specific pieces and asks you to find the winning solution. Man, you and Harstem are treasures to this community. Skill in playing and commentating is great, but the way you two constantly bring your creative energies to your content and innovate what can be done around this video game make this 14 year old game still feel pretty fresh to watch as a viewer.
Thanks mate!
Wow! These turned into such epic games!!! So fun.
I really like the new series! Keep up the awesome work!
If you keep this series going, I'm literally going to put these videos on repeat while I sleep, eat, shower, drive, poop, and everything else. There's so much to be learned from your breakdown of how to take stock of these situations. Thanks so much PiG as always!!
This is an AMAZING idea for videos.
Excited for this series!
who's controlling the enemy?
I recovered these games vs a masters random player "qoo" who volunteered, forgot to include that explanation in the video
@@PiGstarcraft nice 😀
I think you could do first attempt where they say, second attempt as late as you think is possible.
Who are you playing? Computer?

This is a super cool concept 👌 was going to ask who takes over the other side but seems its one of your master friends. I want to see more of these vidoes in the future 🥹
I was thinking of a short acronym for this series... Save the Disaster? StD? Oh shit, the second after i thought that, i realized how bad it was, but maybe PiG will laugh at my dumb try anyway :D
StD sounds great.
@@ledrash6079 it's basically a "what if" kind of thing. Maybe "Reloaded"?
For the first game - maybe an answer to 'why didn't they have more than one gas geyser?' is that there is a common piece of advice floating around to only stay on one gas until you saturate three mineral lines. I followed it for a while but have started taking gasses earlier vs. Protoss for the very reason that I'd die vs all-ins like this.
yeah good choice against Terran, very dangerous against Protoss, especially if they're playing robo or twilight. You can usually get away with it vs stargate openings
This is such a goated idea for a series. Super entertaining to see the chaos unfold and super informative for anyone who has ever had spaghetti fly everywhere during/after an all in
Who's playing as the enemy?

What a great idea for a show!
this is a great idea for a series
How does this work, thats not vs AI right?
He has someone in high masters I believe helping him.
Nope, you can see at the end of the first match someone named Qoo typed gg in chat.
@@HappytreeLuis So a guy is sitting there waiting to take over the other player and go vs Pig? Ok gotcha
@@abgvedr yep, masters volunteer -
Disaster Saves!
Oh nice idea! I will have to go over my replays, I am sure I can find something
Super cool idea for a show, love ittttttttttt
Legend of sc2 here...
Why did AJ leave out 6 probes in the last recall? That seemed omega stupid
How do you not use ctrl groups? You have to use them even in campaign!
What is Florencio's approximate MMR during these matches? I can't tell how much his opponents' behavior is due to being shook versus being bad
WarpGate is just not worth losing strong Gateway units of SC1 Protoss. Cancer ass mechanic imposed on SC2 Protoss, forces weak Gateway units.
baboon craft! baboon craft!
Can i change the Unit hotkey? I want to build overlords with V instead of O.
flo screaming like mariah carrey

no gg in both games :D
What a hold against the zealots
Rip stormgate
Oh my god that double nuke is absolute bananas.
The dude actually GG'd, huge respect
