I've been casually - on and off - playing Sc1 for more than 20 years now - and jeez, are videos like this one - informative. When Artosis is playing, he isn't providing half as much info - just because it's impossible (and yeah I've tried even at my level). Watching him comment, esp. when one side is playing T, is a goldmine. Thanks for the video, greetings from Latvia.
Artosis nooo! Don't fall into the trap of freeze frame react thumbnails! Jokes aside happy Thanksgiving all! This channel helps me sleep most nights as I'll watch a video or two in bed. I'm thankful for tasteless and artosis keeping my favorite esport easily available to me.
could you add some 1-2 mins endgame analysis/highlight at the end of the vods? I always feel like something is missing when the moonlight proleague casts ends
I mentioned in the game Scan lost to spire I think playing hydra lurker defiler that it seems like he's improved a lot, I noticed that one of his seeming weaknesses is clumping tanks and sieging them all in a mass and he did very well this game particularly with that, Ruin did very well getting the most value out of everything and if Scan's tanks were more clumped it might have made a difference, that's just one thing but on everything it seems like Scan has vastly improved, in all the games I've seen of his lately he's been impressive.
Great commentary RT, recently you have been improving a ton at SC but your commentating skills are on point as well. This was such a great match and a lot to learn from it.
I was theorycrafting bio vs protoss as an alternative lately its good to see this. its not as weak as the meta would suggest what do you guys think of optic flare vs shuttle/reaver after range
@@ArtosisCasts What if I have 5,000 apm and can do perfect marine splits to dodge every scarab? Hah Artosis your so called game “knowledge” has been foiled again 🤭
They tried bio plays historically. Reaver and storm are such hard counters they are instant wins. Try something similar to Scan's build on ladder and the second your opponent scouts it they can do something as simple as put down a forge and cannons and turtle until they get a reaver out. I've had some opponents sac the natural and hold the top of their ramp with dragoon shield battery until a reaver came out. I also suggest you try the mechanics of casting optic flare vs the computer... it's ridiculously hard. Medics are tiny units and there is no smart casting. Liquipedia has some of the only games in history where it worked at a high level, most of them are 2010 era, and the strategy seems to be blinding detectors. Conceptually, bio vs pure gateway zealot stalker protoss is about even in cost-effectiveness. The problem is that protoss can naturally segue into templars in any kind of even macro game vs bio. So a bio play has to kill the natural quickly and take an economic lead. Denying the second gas is a huge, long term problem for Protoss.
@@sursurrus the optic flare idea was just because its right there in the academy and 75 energy. Blinding any shuttle would be very useful. Early acad with mnm means 2 scans to have an idea what they are doing, don't have to get blind if its not going to be useful, can cancel the upgrade. Another thing that is good is more bunkers than usual. Or a dropship follow up to get workers as they melt workers. In one game on desti i planned and committed to a strategy where i do mnm plus 1 scv drop in main and block ramp (build depot). Even floated an ebay and landed it there to make sure. But i'm low level and its hard to keep up mechanics. Desti just happened to be a good map to defend in TvP. They still recover so quickly in eco. I don't think a midgame army of MnM works properly without a defensive posture/bunkers but if nobody REALLY tries to get into it and actually commits (double ebay and ups) then it always looks weak against midgame gateway and templars/reaver. Scan did a nice switch but i don't believe its the only option depending on how committed the T is. Have to keep in mind bio doesn't mean you can't have 2facs for fac units - tanks/vults with mines useful with no ups. I seem to remember a HiyA game where he went 6rax and used EMP at some point against templar :)
A strategy full of risk, which, if your opponent has any idea it’s coming will result in you losing the game 100% of the time? It’s literally the cheesiest thing Terran can do lol
There’s a lot going on in SC1, and it takes longer to max out. You see maxing out often times in PvT (takes Protoss ~12 minutes normally to max vs Protoss), but in most matchups there’s so much action by 150 supply that you oftentimes won’t max
Economy takes longer to ramp up, restricting the resources you can spend into both army and eco. Frequent skirmishes in the early and mid game keeps supply low too.
And the obvious one, the unit limit selection disincentivizes wasting time getting a very large army that you eventually can't use to the full potential. Even with 500 APM, it's gotta be a bitch to control 140 army supply.
After that terrible shuttle control at the start Ruin really made up for it with those drops right on the tanks. Maybe that cheesy marine push had him shaken?
How many times in this game did Artosis say "Scan can't attack right now, he needs to macro up until he has critical mass", only for Scan to immediately attack 15 seconds later? Artosis' weakness as a player impacting his commentary :)
Idk why Ruin kept making reavers here, he should've switched to Arbiter or Templar (or even Carriers) a long time before the game ended... zealot/goon/reaver isn't going to beat upgraded mech
Nice cast, RT, and excellent analysis. 👍 My only complaint: You’re a little ‘zoom out’ happy…. too zoomed out for too much of the game. Don’t get me wrong, it’s very useful- in moderation. But watching on a smartphone, everything’s so teeny-tiny always that it’s kinda hard to enjoy. Either zoom out a little less far, or alternate between way zoomed and not so zoomed. PS- Props to Scan on a monster of a game. 👌
If theres any match that makes me think artosis is right about this mu its this one. Scan took such an early game lead off a gamble and still took 20 minutes to close it out
Yeah it bothered me too.. was Scan cutting workers? Scan pushed nat successfully but i think because Ruin saved all workers he stayed equal in eco. Check supply right after Scan's nice push, weird!
@@infinityesq.4226 Yeah... He cut about 4 workers to get faster barracks and academy, so that he could have stim and range in time to actually do damage. If he makes workers and waits look at that reaver it would be in position and he instantly loses. It was smart of him because you can't usually win at all going bio.
Yeah It's a hard Mu man.... It's not as broken as PvZ but it's hard to play as Terran. Toss deff can just move out with goon zealot, where as Terran needs to siege and plant mines and also make sure toss can't backstab. I play Toss and Terran and I just lost to a noob UNDER 100 APM. I got 2-1 and moved out but only left a couple units to defend and he just back stabs and then ofc he has 4 bases to my 3, so I can't really base trade... And I end up losing to a noob somehow.
like how artosis gives credit to protoss skill when he is commenting.''he realizes''.um no his zealot does not have any vision to know 2 scv are sitting hold on ramp which was amazing terran gamble in case such bullshit happens.
Really wish Dan would stop adopting Tasteless' doom-style casting. It isn't over until it's over, so please stop trying to predict games. I really loved your casts because you'd fairly cast until "GG".

NGL that was some crisp plays by scan and very impressive decision making, and kudos to Ruin for holding on so long
I love scan's play style, he's so bold but not reckless, like his decisions always seem very well thought in advance
Bio vs Toss is always a joy to watch in Broodwar
This tourney has been sick, RT. Thanks for funding and casting it
This was an absolute masterpiece by Scan
These matches are so good.
Artosis nooo! Don't fall into the trap of freeze frame react thumbnails! Jokes aside happy Thanksgiving all! This channel helps me sleep most nights as I'll watch a video or two in bed. I'm thankful for tasteless and artosis keeping my favorite esport easily available to me.
I think the thumbnails are almost like a cheeky meta joke, because how niche this content is.
Who cares.
The thumbnails r fine lol
Disagree. Some of us appreciate a good UA-cam thumbnail soyface
Cringe
could you add some 1-2 mins endgame analysis/highlight at the end of the vods? I always feel like something is missing when the moonlight proleague casts ends
That is a good idea.
thanks for the idea. its definitely not something that i'll be implementing right now, but I'll keep it in the back of my mind for later.
Amazing reaction to the gas steal! Casting was very informative as well! GG WP!

Scan’s pivoting and decision making was amazing!
Wow! Epic. I always knew I needed to see that bio army against Protoss. ArtosisCast makes it extra special.
I was theorycrafting bio vs protoss as an alternative lately its good to see this. its not as weak as the meta would suggest
what do you guys think of optic flare vs shuttle/reaver after range
yeah, range bunker to hold off goons is a luxury
IMO the marines shouldn't be thrown away but instead used in bunkers for base defense / contains
It’s strong if they don’t know it’s coming // don’t have a reaver. If they know or have a reaver handy, you lose.
@@ArtosisCasts What if I have 5,000 apm and can do perfect marine splits to dodge every scarab? Hah Artosis your so called game “knowledge” has been foiled again 🤭

Scan shows tosis how it is done again 😁
Great casting as always! Great video!
Bro i dont know how this game even really works but i have just hearing Artosis cast starcraft makes me get the shivers... What an amazing caster
Your voice is just so relaxing :) hope you never stop casting anything
That was so impressive, good to see aggression against protoss work.
>The last marine's last shot kills the nexus off
After the nexus is dead there is no reason for the marine to shoot at it again, General.
Lmao
he means his last shot just before he died
I didn’t know I needed artosis posing as the scream in my life
Damn bro I don’t have enough time to get through these once a day uploads !
this match was insane. just showed how powerful terran can be when played perfectly. such an unforgiving race but worth.
Instantly calling a non meta strategy cheese is the most artosis thing ever. Great cast.
Bio is literally the cheesiest thing Terran can do vs toss other than BBS maybe
A strategy full of risk, which, if your opponent has any idea it’s coming will result in you losing the game 100% of the time?
It’s literally the cheesiest thing Terran can do lol
I think at my level of play (wood league) it's not cheese, but at higher levels of play it meets the defining criteria :P
@@alexfriedman2047 It may be cheesy, but cmon , whats cooler than space marines gunning down some mfking aliens with their assault rifles.
What a GREAT game. Scan did all he could to steer that game in his favor. Well done.
As someone rooting for the Terran this was as fun a game as I've ever seen.
Wow I don't remember the last time I saw terran bio vs toss, definitely unexpected
My ❤ goes out for Scan!
those melee reavers vs the tanks was sick af
Awesome, is there any similar battles?
WP scan. Love the bio aggression.
Scan is such an entertaining player to watch. He's capable of standard games and some wildly offmeta strats alike
Happy Thanksgiving
🎉
why don't you ever see maxed out armies fight in sc1? sc2 viewer here

@@Leonhart_93 Good point, once you start needing more than 5 control groups, its less micro and more "A-move in their general direction"
After that terrible shuttle control at the start Ruin really made up for it with those drops right on the tanks. Maybe that cheesy marine push had him shaken?
Scan is a giant!
dude the thumbnail is hilarious
Awesome transition! Tosis, do you think you could do this in some of your games? just 4 fun ;) cheers mate
Scan is the man! What a great game.
I felt like I was watching a modern SlayerS Boxer
7:16 moments like this are why this is still one hell of an awesome game even after all these years.
is your symbol in the bottom right supposed to resemble Protoss?
Emotional rollercoaster
So nobody uses Firebats at all anymore in SC1?
Always nice to see terran agro.... instead of just twitch spamming brackets across half the screen.
Let's go Scan!
How many times in this game did Artosis say "Scan can't attack right now, he needs to macro up until he has critical mass", only for Scan to immediately attack 15 seconds later? Artosis' weakness as a player impacting his commentary :)
amazing game! love scan
Omg excellent game by scan!
SUPER ACE MATCH!!
Man, c`mon, it`s not big deal. Once upon a time, when we all were playing broodwar this was awesome strategy :) i have few wins over gosus with MM
Hey Artosis thanks as always for casting. I just wish the titles wouldnt be so spoilery
how many lifetimes for me to play like this?
Sure seems like Protoss needs help against Mech.
Idk why Ruin kept making reavers here, he should've switched to Arbiter or Templar (or even Carriers) a long time before the game ended... zealot/goon/reaver isn't going to beat upgraded mech
Nice cast, RT, and excellent analysis. 👍

I always liked killing offensive gas with marines since they can't mine

very interesting game, damn
SCAN IS THE MAN
This is what I like but saddly in SC, in TVP if u wanna win, go mech, thts why I like Sc2 bio can fight tos
I think you shoudn't do this at home
this thumbnail lmao
sc1 production tab :DDDD
Scan is definitely the next nal_ra
WP Scan. GG!
artosis can comment worms : armageddon, and it will just fine 😅
that would be fun actually lol
Literally hero marine
What with the soy reaction face in the thumbnail?
Я его Маме по хозяйству помогал!!!! Маринами втащил просто как Боженька!!!!!))))
like how artosis gives credit to protoss skill when he is commenting.''he realizes''.um no his zealot does not have any vision to know 2 scv are sitting hold on ramp which was amazing terran gamble in case such bullshit happens.
Hard to say who to root for when zerg aren't part of the mix.
@artosis the reaction thumbnail is unnecessary and cringy. I think your BW audience is above the target age for that.
I love your casts -- keep it up!
nice
Crazy when you see how good Scan is and realize he’s not good enough to be in ASL.
That shuttle micro is really not impressive lol
SNOW #1
Ruin really messed up there, yeah. Could’ve done way more eco damage.
Channeling his inner Mr. Beast with that thumbnail.
I hate the reaction title cards
Nice game half way in like Ghana Portugal
That youtuber face on the thumbnail, pls dont.
God I hate your face in the thumbnail. Great game, great casting though. Thank you sir.
tatatatatatatata

Please don't do those reaction faces in your thumbnail... Treat your audience like the adults they are.
We all knew scan wud win from the jump 😴
: )

quite dumb replay at all. As 90% in this channel
Dude it’s not fucking Starcraft 1. PLZZZZZ don’t call it that. We both know it’s called Brood War.
Reavers are the most ret4rd3d units. Put two of them in a drop ship, and you can reverse any situation.
