I really loved to see Astrea play, I feel like he brings something new to the table. One of the few Toss players I want to see again. Btw if you have a huge bank against Zerg, just go crazy with your production facilities, if armies engage Zerg can remax his army in a few seconds, and if you can't well... GG.
@@EmuSnacks Yeah, I've been playing SC since the first one came out and struggle to change my old ways of just playing for the sake of playing. Even knowing there's all these theories and 'proven' approaches. I don't really win many matches, but I like to play the way I do. They kept saying his approaches were old, phased out theories, but it makes it more interesting to use your own brain and not just replicate what everyone is doing. Then playing like a machine
Dark vs Astrea Game 1 - 22:20 Game 2 - 36:16 Stats vs Impact Game 1 - 1:21:32 Game 2 - 1:35:31 Dark vs Stats Game 1 - 1:52:36 Game 2 - 2:06:43 Game 3 - 2:16:38 Impact vs Astrea Game 1 - 2:42:17 Game 2 - 2:58:24 Game 3 - 3:07:19 Stats vs Impact Game 1 - 3:29:22 Game 2 - 3:35:36
Oh yeah. I thought he was for sure done for! Seriously, I imagine so many people would have quit. Dark was putting on some crazy pressure. Incredible game from Stats
Thank you SOOOO much to AfreecaTV for censoring the winners, losers and final matches in their other videos so it doesn’t get spoiled when we watch the vods! I never ask for likes on a comment because who cares, but please like this comment or others like it on other videos simply so that AfreecaTV Can see that we appreciate the change in a big way!!
Artosis, you re a genius. Last game(before this) I remembered that you gave us a little warm up about Atreas style. And now, you commented so excited about him, that I’m impossible to say nothing. Good catch body! Cheers 🥂
"Dark is probably the last person you want to face." I can't even imagine having to face Maru in a game. If I saw him in the other chair I'd probably throw so much cheese around you'd think I was a dairy farmer.
Nice upload! Dark proves why he's one of the very best zerg players. His games are so great to watch. I play Zerg and learn a lot watching this vods. Thanks for giving us the opp. with uploading.
22:35 When Tasteless says, "again, best part of the Dragon", how the hell can you even stay alive as Artosis? If that was me as his co-caster, I would be dead on the floor in a puddle of my own tears because my sides had split.
18:00 i like dark much better when he lightens up. That actually got a good chuckle out of me. Reminder Adepts suck vs sunkens but are good vs lings and kill drones. It's sure as hell better to waste a few drones in exchange for ramping up sunkens vs useless zerglings to put a timer on adept harass then to just continually suffer ineptly doing the same thing over and over failing. You can wall off against adepts with finished sunkens so that the harass area is denied aka ramps. Then later just move them out of the way for your own units which means the more the enemy commits to them, you get a extra benefit to the sunkens when you get up to 3 of them. Including the option of trapping them into a area actually less with a evo on a ramp 75 minerals.
Capt. Obvious here. I think the difference between how Dark and Impact handles the glaive adept push was that Dark made way lot more lings and even spores. I just rewatched the games of Dark in this series and realized that Dark kind of started making lings at 37-40 drones while impact had like 45-50 drones and way less lings.
Totally agree... i was surprised also about that amount of spores hes taking more investing in that.. with this huge amount of early abuse that zerg are getting it was good
@@nmlsaiya i think the 3 spores might be for DTs cuz he kept them in the mineral lines except for the one at the ramp. Idealy if you adepts you may want to locate one on the edge of the main base just so the prism couldnt move in and out very freely.
Tube monitors... in the days of Halo 1, I would tote around two flat screen CRTs to our weekly lans, which went on for over a year. A lot of work, but goddamn if we are going to play 4v4 we are going to do it right!
@@otter8362 its easy to say when you eat chips and drink beer relaxed before your comp:), but there was a lot going on.. Still i agree , if Astrea hadnt lost those ralying void rays one by one, if they just grouped, he had a good shot.. Great game overall.
@@firestarter000001 true. I also think he shouldve made a wall of cannons and batteries in the lower part of the map where a lot of tension was happening for the majority of that game. With 10k mineral bank, it was more than possible and would prevent him from losing the entire army there. Good try by Astrea tho, I thought he'd die much quicker
Rookie mistake from dark into game two against impact: You pull half of your drones from the main to the natural then wall off the main base for the adapts not to get in. Then you build 3 or even 4 spine crawlers at the natural while droning in the main and making units and queens out of the hatchery of the natural. I don't know why so many people underestimate the value of zerg's static defense.
Starcraft should also have achievements: "you have played one million games" "you have cheesed a thousand consecutive times" "you won a game without using the keyboard"
Okay so this is GSL round of 24 and a top world class champion Zerg still struggles quite a bit to get his wins. This is how competitive and high level SC2 is right now. Those players are just ruthlessly focused and talented
It would be awesome to add an option for the game observer to 360 degree free-look. XYZ axis. Map environments would need an uplift though probably. I love the game! I hope they keep improving it. Thanks :)
Dalan the instrumental song is probably a Starcraft soundtrack, but look up Miserere Mei by Allegri on spotify, it is a very similar feeling in the choir!
@Dalan I don't know the song. However it very strongly reminds me of the style of "Two steps from hell" It might very well be one of theirs. You might enjoy "Flight of the silverbird" and "Evergreen" by them. Thomas Bergersen is one of their composers and has side-projects. His style is the same.
Indeed. He did really well against Dark. No one thought he could even put up a fight. But there were moments that he looked like he had Dark pinned. He had the right idea about switching to Void Rays and Stalkers. It just didn't work out as planned. If he had more Stargates for rays and more robos for multiple immortals, maybe it could turn the tide?
@@redwing999 Imho it wasnt even actually about number of stargates and robos but imho the turning point was Dark picking of Void rays one by one when they were rallying. IF they grouped , imho Astrea had a good chance,
Artosis, even if Astrea had four immortals at the end of Match1/Set2, Dark had like 40 lings, 10ultras, air domination, and 8 lurkers... Astrea would still have lost. 4 archons, 12 stalkers, 1 carrier and four immortals wouldn't even put up a fight.
Overall I feel Protoss is underperfoming as race compared to Terran and Zerg. Based on our how our late GSL went. Cuz by no means I feel competent to judge when where and what are the point where Toss Feels week I'm not that good of a player. The Battery overcharge doesn't seem to give toss the little nudge the race needs as a hole.
Its sad that Protoss has to decimate the Zerg economy fast to have a chance to win. Even with the very successful harasses, the zerg can just remake drones and build an army big enough to just overwhelm the protoss. Toss relies too much on high templars, I don't really know why they were buffed, while other units remain a bad choice.
Yeah, pretty much protoss only hope is to do a ton of economic damage, either with oracles or adepts. Even then, the zerg has a ton of opportunity to recover, where as any loss as protoss is often utterly fatal. One bane drop, ling run-by or group of burrowed roaches gets into your mineral lines, and it's basically gg. You have to play near-perfect to win. And late game against a zerg is basically a loss, so you have the clock working against you as well.
why dont t or p block z's ramp down to the natural with buildings so they cant fast expand? seems like they could use one pylon and then a gate cancel and delay for a long time.
They won't be able to block it before the hatchery goes down...but they can triple pylon block it and cannon rush the natural-- this is a particular brand of cheese you will encounter in plat and diamond but probably not pro games

Astrea is so fun and innovative to watch, really hope we get to see more of him in the next gsl season.
Yea! I had forgotten that he existed for a while there, he's so good tho!!
Yeah i think he is great. If he polishes some rough edges imho he can compete with the best.
It's nice to see some fresh blood in the top tiers.
Yes he's "Innovative" to watch..
I feel Innovative, just watching him....

God damn it Dark, NA ladder zergs absolutely did not need you to give them that Burrowed Roach build.
Whoever chooses and mixes up the music between matches deserves the keys to the city. The great jams make the time pass by so fast.
I think I could honestly just watch Tasteless and Artosis banter for 4 hours
I'd prefer to listen to them. I imagine it would get kinda boring if it was all video and no audio.
31:40 Oh god the zergs have learned how to stutter step!
Amazing second game Dark v. Stats.
I am really happy, to see Astrea. I already saw some of his games in NA competitions and it is very nice for him to go for the next level :)

Yeah, pretty much protoss only hope is to do a ton of economic damage, either with oracles or adepts. Even then, the zerg has a ton of opportunity to recover, where as any loss as protoss is often utterly fatal.

And late game against a zerg is basically a loss, so you have the clock working against you as well.
