I'd like to take a moment to recognize how impressive it is PiG recalls builds from years ago within 1-2 minutes of a game. A true pro, caster, commentator. Love it! Also, very entertaining series! I love both these guys. What a series!
Not gonna lie, NA regional is def entertaining, nonstop back and forth. Good to see something different for a change compared to the top ten players' standard.
It's really nice to see Kelazhur in the finals, and getting to Atlanta. He recently left Team Liquid so it wasn't a guarantee that he would go to the Open Bracket. Hope to see him shine at Atlanta
1:04:00 crazy how leaving HTs around the map to storm costs 50/150 and requires micro, while widow mines do the same for 75/25, requires no micro and can't be hit without detection nor be denied by EMP, not to mention that storm deals damage over time whereas widowmine shots are instant damage
Crazy how you can merge HT to create archons, while you cant merge widow mines to create a mega mine. Crazy how HT need to siege to attack whereas HT do not. Crazy how widow mine can one shot your own units whereas HT cannot.
Call it as you want, but the infinitely free reloading, auto-targeting, cloaked mini nuke is a bad design that only got nerfed once in march 2017. Since then only buffs to the burrowing time. At least the shredder was single usage, like banelings without micro.
yeah unfortunately huge positional mistakes from Kelazhur there, tempest + splash + good micro + battery cannon is not somewhere you want to fight unless you have the perfect army comp and micro
It was pretty entertaining for sure but to be honest, the overall level of SC2 wasn't too great. There was a lot of throwing units away and slow reactions throughout the series.
These games are so bad its hard to watch. The amount of mistakes made from both sides its like watching a gold game. I don't know much about kalazur but I know astrea plays in gsl. This is nowhere near gsl level.
@@mriconoclast13 I prefer both players play at a top level micro or macro. Just look at the first five minutes kalazur lost 9 scvs to an oracle on a one base before noticing? Then astrea runs three oracles, two were out of juice to kill a marine. Not to mention not building any units home because he didn't think a Terran who saw three oracles with no mana would counter attack?
@@G0ML666 It is like chess, at the highest levels the game has become fairly ridged and mechanical with little room for creativity. With players at this level, you still have a very high skill level but it remains spontaneous and exciting with real comeback possibilities. I understand what you are saying but I think you are missing the most fun part.

This is like watching two muscle cars from the 70's trying to take a corner. I am still watching it and I love it!
Most entertaining series in a long while!
One of the most epic matches I've seen In a while! GG

oh damn my bad on forgetting that he'd left TL - shame they didn't keep him on, he's on a roll right now!
I have to say, NA games are messy and chaotic. That's why it's fun to watch
Absolute banger of a series.

I would much rather have WM than high templars that’s for sure
1:05:51 “a big juicy ball” 😂
Banger of a series!!
Widow mines are the counter to enjoyable fair fights.
Boooo balance whiner

@@matth1005😂 I found the widow mine spammer
Too bad that's the only real counter to mass zealots, which require less micro than widow mines@@mathieugaron3428
“Fair fights”? You mean, ones where Protoss wins? Yeah - sorry but spamming zealots is just as mindless as spamming mines.
Why is this more entertaining than other top matches hahahaha
great series !
"alright alright alright" gets me instantly triggered!
Wow the last game it’s crazy how protoss don’t have base left vs 4 base terran and toss still win😂
yeah unfortunately huge positional mistakes from Kelazhur there, tempest + splash + good micro + battery cannon is not somewhere you want to fight unless you have the perfect army comp and micro
1:16:25 flying stalker
Amazing games !!!
That 1st game is a shitshow for both players lmao.
This match was one of the most entertaining in history! So many back and forth!
Astrea is my favorite player to watch. Risky, high-level clown fiestas!
He does stuff I’ve never seen other players do. Like shading into a mass of marines to force friendly fire from the tanks. Pretty awesome.
I prefer NA shit shows than watch international zergs win
THE BALLSSSSS
Terran op! 🎉
Where is the game 1?
Maybe upper bracket player gets a n 1 game advantage
Upper bracket player starts with a 1-0 advantage
Nice
Kela, meu amigo, seja direferente, use nave mae em vez vez de viking, e raven cara ravennnnnnnn pra anular os adversários!
Bananas
3 base terran making it look close vs 7 base protoss, widow mine good unit wow
yoooo.. #ASTREAfanHERE
USA USA

9 SCV died from an Oracle. That response time from that player. Sure this is the "GRAND FINALS"? NA too weak...
lmao this is a pro game?. this game have bronze league hero written all over it

Sometimes games don't go the way you want.
You prefer Maru the turtle or MaxPax the boringly predictable?
No thanks.
