We both did ton of mistakes, but this kind of game challenge ur adaptation on a fly while u have no time to think, non of us played game like that but i hope there gonna be more games like that on tournaments bcz it's rly fun to watch(even tho i played it)
Its always easy to see the mistakes after but having the ingenuity to create this situation is what requires real skill and intelligence so I thank you for a great game. Easily one of the best games this year. To bad you cant win extra money for crowd excitement like in mma. Knockout of the night bonus! Fight of the night bonus! Cheese of the night bonus! Lets all hope for more creative stuff in the future! SC2 is in a real good state right now with lots of exciting new strategies (other than the immortal). Feels like a moment in meta where creative play really can pay off some times.
Tbh it felt quite weird. A ZERG that has access to an entire map... and who hasn't secured any source of extra income or researched anything besides tier 1... or whatever it's called - units? I mean... he fought a phoenixes, DTs, prisms and whatnot with... queens, lings and spines. That's it. It's both the most heroic use of the cheap units and also the dumbest. Because somehow a single base could out-develop and outbuild a person, who had map control for over half of the game. He could even just prism down one probe and start expanding, fully knowing that Bly would have no answer to that. He made the choice of only using the existing units...
@@Wrathinside with what money? youre talking about looking back at the game and changing a decision. in the heat of the moment where you could die at any second, trying to get an expo up would mean not enough money to defend and you lose. it was a weird game in an amazing and wonderful way. games like this dont happen often at the pro level, words dont do this justice
I'm not a fan of much esports but Starcraft and Starcraft II matches are some of the coolest things to watch. It's like hardcore chess and mind games. I'll never get tired of it. I wonder if we'll see a Starcraft III? Probably in 2035... Jesus christ.
Must be very exciting in its own way despite not understanding some things :) the casters do a decent job of explaining although some don't cater to 'new player' knowledge enough I think. SC is almost like a language I bet it seems crazy complicated to new players sometimes.
The Zerg player did an all-in rush, to the point of hamstringing their own economy, and the Protoss player only *just* managed to hang on by clever use of defensive mechanics. At the end of the game, both players were completely starved for resources because neither had access to an expansion (the white semicircles on the minimap) that they could afford to use because every single unit of mineral went to military units.
@@Whitecroc Thanks for explaining, I never played the game or watch these types of videos, definitely really interested and watching this video was very entertaining. Still didn't know what was going on lol now im going to be watching more vids like this to see if I can get into it :P
@John Doe He can't juggle frontline units out of combat and can't replace them meaning he could lose the fight due to the funneling of the troops on the slope.
All he had to do was set up the prism in warm mode or whatever the hell it's called and that never would have happened. Granted, I know it was game 3 of 3 and Neeb is freaking out. lol
Well, it is your lucky day. The game is free 2 play if you dont want to play de campaign, and probably has several features locked for those who have the game ( Last time I played the game was on the HOTS release, like 5 years ago XD), but even for the price the game is 110% worth. Just go to the Battlenet web and try it!
I remember when I started playing SCII, there was this small tournament called the GameCreds cup. Prize for winning it was 100 bucks, yet every big player would be there every week. Bly won it once and was an absolute noname at the time. He crushed Dimaga, one of the best zerg players at the time, in ZvZ, 3/0. 3 cheese strats. The balls it took to pull that off made me support the guy instantly... I'm not surprised he took part in the greatest SC match ever after witnessing that :')
1917 was an epic piece of cinema if not a good war film. Tenet is mind blowing if you have a high enough IQ to begin to understand it. The Gentlemen is truly a gem! the list goes on.
That's why when anyone says "They wish for Starcraft the movie" I say "No, Hollyweird would butcher it" Just look what they did to the 'new' Mortal Kombat movie if you need evidence of Hollyweird butchering a franchise and insulting the entire Lore.
And there are people saying that sc2 is a boring game to watch... This game was amazing, it was like watching a show with mind blowing plot twists every two minutes
These kinds of games are really more of an exception than a rule though.. imo, Starcraft 1 had a lot more games with interesting moments like these, but that's just me :D i love sc2 though!!
You can really see why these guys are pros, i play protoss too, but i would have broken down and gg like 25 times during that match. GG to both players.
Wow! That was such a great match! Good on Neeb for not giving in when it looked like he was done and Bly was nuts with that hatchery! Great job on both sides, what a sick match!
When neeb lost his forward base I thought it was gg, then I looked at the video timeline and saw it's only halfway through. Then I knew SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON!
I tend to use a lot of strategies like Bly which often result in scrappy base trades. I've found if you're going to follow up with a natural, you might as well pick a different base. If Bly expanded at 6 oclock instead of going for his natural, he wins.
I enjoyed these commentators a lot, they’ve been really into it. Sometimes some other just talk about unrelated stuff, big no no. But these two did a good job!
@@KCal25 Disagree. All Neeb had to do at that point was not lose the warp prism and not epically screw up the micro while doing damage to Bly's spines/queens and it was over. Neeb wouldn't want to risk losing an Archon because his Warp Prism was out of position just so he could make maybe 2 units in a couple minutes. Amazing game - honestly about 90% of pro players would have dipped after the Nexus at the natural went down but Neeb made several sick plays (killing the natural/drones, Prism, DTs and finally trapping the queens with shields) that allowed him to claw it back.
Neebs: We should protect our base, no matter what it comes. We should fight on the landing ground. We should fight in the field. WE SHOULD NEVER SURRENDER!!!
that sneaky unit ferry to the low ground into recalling all his units back to his main was actually such a genius play. 1. Shield batteries need to go down before units despite what every cell in your body tells you. (there's pretty much no way to out dps 5-7 shield batteries worth of healing) 2. I'm not in the position of the zerg so I don't fully know the value of his larvae in this game, but it felt as though if he made 1 drone for every 6 lings, he'd eventually have enough to start an expansion to mine from even during the constant attack.
The problem is that Zerg needs to be at least +1 base vs Protoss early, and past midgame more like +2 bases to win. Bly never had Neeb far enough behind that he could just stop pressuring to build eco - if he had tried to switch he likely would have just ended up getting counterattacked after Neeb cleans up his unsupported all in or he would have just ended up basically on even (at best) economical terms with a Protoss - that's never a winning scenario for Zerg. He was also behind in tech which is a huge problem for ZvP - you really need those tech units like infestors/corruptors/ravagers to deal with post CC units from Protoss.
Thanks SC2HL for bringing this. Didn't watch SC2 for a long time, but your highlights brought back the attention. That play of Neeb, tricking the base race was genius. Maybe a 1 out of 1000 or even 10k games. GG to both and the casters.
That was SO COOL! I was rooting for Bly just because of how cool it was! I wish stuff like this works for often so we see it more. Macro games are nice too but its nice to have a bit of variety.
the fact that he was able to get a temple up while under siege and also attacking intermittently must have been so draining mentally.... Bly did not anticipate the DTs until it was too late... that was such a HUGE turning point.
Allows the toss player to bring damaged units to the back of the army. If he losses the warp prism, there could be a chance that queen heal + spines and a good surround will win vs neebs' army.
It becomes a life lesson: 1.NEVER GIVE UP EVEN YOU THINK YOU WILL LOSE！！ 2.THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE， TINY, BUT ALWAYS WORTH CATCHING! 3. No matter how tough & Strong the enemy looks, they will make mistake. 4.We can attack from the front, but we can also attack from the back. also, we can also attack from the side which the enemy never thinks about. 5.Using all the power we have, all the potentials, all the functions, all the possibilities! I wish all of us can take the wisdom from this game. It beyond the game, it is how we face the struggle and how we WIN. Good luck folks, love you guys.
5:50 that's what I thought a minute ago. The creep is the biggest threat he really should expanded so that lings can move faster and the rebuilding is impossible *IF BLY USED MORE CREEP!!*
Darn, Bly pulling back from the recall with all the zerglings, leaving the queens to die was the game losing factor. That army probably could have won against the recall and even if it didn't there wouldn't have been enough left to push but all the queens wouldn't have died for free.
That and not assuming DTs would be coming at some point. He had so much time to just build a single safety spore crawler at Neeb's natural when he started building a hatch there. They're cheap. There was no reason not to have one when that's one of the few ways to instantly lose a game.
DT's being unbeatable units was actually the game losing factor. Without the DTs doing insane dmg, the hatchery would've finished and neeb would've run out of resources while bly could have built up. DTs being so high DPS is kinda silly actually. Only other unit that can attack while invis is lurkers (banshees run out of energy).
@@asdfasdf-mn8iu Terran speaking here. DT's have to walk, are very fragile and costly, which makes them ah-oh-kay in my book of balanced things. With banshees even if you have detection it's not that easy to get rid of them if you're lacking air-air attacks and lurkers outdps everything just because of splash.
@@FullMetalGladiator Nah, Lurkers lose badly to archons and immortals, frankly well-managed zealots alone are enough to take them out. DTs can hit pretty early, i'd say way earlier than lurkers and can also kill your integral structures easier because they're invis while moving and have higher single-target-DPS. They are a unit that can instantly lose you the game if you have no detection. I was never fond of such units because i don't really see the point of being punished that harshly for a rather simple mistake.
@@asdfasdf-mn8iu DTs are not an unbeatable unit. Like I said: Bly had plenty of time to get one spore up at that natural, which is all he would've needed; the five spine crawlers he had would've nearly insta-gibbed any DT that got into range if he'd had detection up in advance. DT dps isn't what made that a game-losing oversight, their stealth is. Having absolutely zero detection in place when he already had the capacity to build it was a huge error.
I thought the same thing just secure your ramp with units long distance mine even if it’s with two probs and an archon, Zerg can never afford to split his army. If he over splits his buildings are done and if he undersplits a surprise archon in the prism wins the game. Would have taken a while but really it was a slightly safer battle of attrition that he could afford to play
i played on the ladder years ago, made it to diamond before i quit cuz it was too stressful, but i'm glad it gave me enough knowledge of the game and units to really appreciate what's going on here. always loved playing the noble protoss - glad he pulled it out.
The micro in this game... it's fucking mind-blowing lol. Neeb's winning move alone, just like.. capturing the queens with the forcefields because they took ONE step too close lol. So impressive.
The highlight is basically the entire game, sorry about this! I tried to cut out where I could but there is so much action

Zerg definitely should've set up another base or two while Protoss was cornered.
Bly never got over 160 minerals, was using everything just to keep Neeb pinned.
The problem is that Zerg needs to be at least +1 base vs Protoss early, and past midgame more like +2 bases to win.

Holy Guacamole. Neeb's confidence and understanding of the game are immense!
This game subverted so many of my expectations.
I was dubious about the title but, this is indeed one of the greatest games of SC2 I´ve seen.
Warp prism in the right hands is one of the best units in sc2, and this game proves me right.
Allows the toss player to bring damaged units to the back of the army. If he losses the warp prism, there could be a chance that queen heal + spines and a good surround will win vs neebs' army.
This reminds me of the 2 immortals and warp prism plays, defeating entire armies.
first time playing SC2: Warp prism , meh only act as mobile pylon + MedVac
After couple of games : Sh*t my precious prism died
And the guardians..
yea im glad I know how to prism juggle , it did take me awhile to learn it :) , I sometimes ladder every now n then to not get rusty on it :)
It becomes a life lesson:
1.NEVER GIVE UP EVEN YOU THINK YOU WILL LOSE！！
2.THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE， TINY, BUT ALWAYS WORTH CATCHING!
3. No matter how tough & Strong the enemy looks, they will make mistake.
4.We can attack from the front, but we can also attack from the back. also, we can also attack from the side which the enemy never thinks about.
5.Using all the power we have, all the potentials, all the functions, all the possibilities!

@@FullMetalGladiator Nah, Lurkers lose badly to archons and immortals, frankly well-managed zealots alone are enough to take them out.
DTs can hit pretty early, i'd say way earlier than lurkers and can also kill your integral structures easier because they're invis while moving and have higher single-target-DPS. They are a unit that can instantly lose you the game if you have no detection. I was never fond of such units because i don't really see the point of being punished that harshly for a rather simple mistake.
@@asdfasdf-mn8iu DTs are not an unbeatable unit. Like I said: Bly had plenty of time to get one spore up at that natural, which is all he would've needed; the five spine crawlers he had would've nearly insta-gibbed any DT that got into range if he'd had detection up in advance.
DT dps isn't what made that a game-losing oversight, their stealth is. Having absolutely zero detection in place when he already had the capacity to build it was a huge error.
Man this makes me miss playing this game. Only part of college that I miss.
I only played this game when I was like 14 or 16 and only play pve or story mode. I know this is very hard and also a good game
The title is correct. What an awesome game, well played by both sides.
He could have also used the prism to mine lol
I had the same idea. Shield wall off and use prism to extra long mining. Then set another base far away
mind blow plan it over 9000 intellegent lol
ive actually seen that a few times in pro games, it was awesome
I thought the same thing just secure your ramp with units long distance mine even if it’s with two probs and an archon, Zerg can never afford to split his army. If he over splits his buildings are done and if he undersplits a surprise archon in the prism wins the game. Would have taken a while but really it was a slightly safer battle of attrition that he could afford to play
That's taxing on APM though, since he's in the defensive.
AMAZING game and so fun to watch. Both players played so well wow
I watched this earlier, for any normal player it should give up when second base fall, but not neeb, he turns it around, what a legend
Wow! That was even crazier than I thought it would be from the thumbnail.
came here expecting clickbait. but damn as far as "when cheese fails" goes, this was pretty damn epic
Okay, this wasn't a bait title. This video kept me at the edge of my seat the entire time.
A complete 540... three 180's to be exact!
If the action does not stop long enough to cut out a highlight, you know it's an epic game.
It's 2019 and "When behind, Dark Shrine" still works
i played on the ladder years ago, made it to diamond before i quit cuz it was too stressful, but i'm glad it gave me enough knowledge of the game and units to really appreciate what's going on here. always loved playing the noble protoss - glad he pulled it out.
Nail biting all the time. Enjoyed every minute of it when watched it live
The micro is incredible
That was the most entertaining match I've ever seen 😄
Cheese? Yes. Match? No. Scarlett v Bomber at the RBB was the greatest bar none no contest. This was a great match though I loved it
Zerg should have been adding workers on the main one by one during the match. Instead he had worker count 13 for too long
zerg was probably banking on toss being broken by a never ending supply of units. making drones would mean each attack toss made wouldn’t be replaced.
Was the title clickbait-esque? Yes. Was the title 100% accurate? Yes.
that was possibly one of the best cheese games i've seen thanks for the vid! :D
The micro in this game... it's fucking mind-blowing lol. Neeb's winning move alone, just like.. capturing the queens with the forcefields because they took ONE step too close lol. So impressive.
He got caught chasing the dragon, i love to rush too but always remember not to chase the dragon.
Holy shit. This is the "You had to be there" of the SC2
