XellOs vs Nal rA (Commentary of the Week) @ CJ vs KTF

[nuke1989]

xellos.... wtf why he kept looking like stoner? lol

[TomValedro]

diggity says left and right all the time, annoying.

[carmangerfx]

GO KOREANS ^^

[StarCraftWhore]

Great match. Really risky strat, very surprised at outcome. gg

[supermagicturkey]

whats the map called?

[Scidadle]

Wuthering Heights

[Alfrunk]

I doubt a literary reference would make any sense to these mindless slackwits.

[pzio]

the second commentator is far much better than the first one, nice video however thanks

[Foxhound1112]

oh and FUCK XELLOS GO SILENT_CONTROL or Slayers Boxer but hes in the airforce now =[

[lllshokoboylll]

??? boxer came back to play starcraft like 2 months ago :p.. hes just not as good as before.. but hes not in army now

[bioshock312]

silent control sucks

he lost to a brazilian dude at wcg a long time ago

[Hafesie]

@bioshock312 Your point?

[Foxhound1112]

go koreans ^_^

[stoneheart92]

i want xellos to win a major tournament again...

[grache92]

Nal_ra rox dude! i saw him expand his bases like into 7 in one of his games..

[kirbyman1kanden7pf]

that pylon thing was very neat.

[koreansashimi]

nal-ra rox although i dont c him play alot these days :'(

[PieCook]

He actually retired very recently and decided to consider being a commentator. He says he hasn't been playing as well as the fans were expecting him to.

Come to think of it, his was a long slump that seemed very hard to recover from.

I believe Garimto ran into the same situation.

[NETMR2]

FTW SONN!!^^

[NellaMad1]

Omg awesome game. I'm a HUGE Nal_Ra fan, so any of his games, especially with such ballsy pylon blocks and carriers will get thumbs up from me =).

[Beowulf117]

Actually Garimto revolutionized Protoss first. Nal_Ra is more note worthy for being a sort of Boxer of Protoss when it comes to strategy and spur of the moment creativity.

[Roochfan20]

3:30, that's PIMP!!!

[Chrijz]

Good game. Thanks.

[Chrijz]

and 3:45 FTW! :)

[NaturalTvventy]

when the heck was protoss considered a lesser race? i don't remember that.

[41Somers]

Presumably before Nal_Ra. Well done to the protoss veteran, although it was disappointing there wasn't any Boxer-esque lockdown.

[Kilithaza]

early 2000. 2000-2004

[RegaLSC]

hahaha. posting at 3:45.

PIMPEST PLAY!

[Zuan19]

Biff

if your Nal Ra you can reflect the lockdown back XD

[TeeHausChiller]

very good as always. 5/5 keep it going guys

[NETMR2]

Yes Awesome Game! thxs commentators for the post

[JWD241224]

Awesome job guys, this CotW was a cut above the others thus far, IMO. Keep em coming!

Diggity thanks for the mention :P You rock

[darolas]

I think its funny that 2-base fast carrier is considered "not standard"

[Rimmer7]

KANG MIN FIGHTING!

[Lighioana666]

Excellent!

[madmike730]

good game!:) thank you for posting.:)

[VQgel]

Carrier are imba =(

You have 100 Gols and the toss 1 carrier. The carrier will win.that sucks

[toshzpelta]

ur a god damn noob please stfu

(wraiths, gols+tanks/vults, lockdown[gosu], dev's/scourges, hydras...scouts...)

to many things to take down carriers they are definately NOT imba..

[valentine452]

just means you suck at microing

[AvocadoMandog]

Flash vs Stork

[diehardff]

If you can't take down one carrier with 100 goliaths you should be playing some Hannah Montana game or something else that is very simple.

[BiffTheUnderstudy]

Bullshit.

If the protoss is not VERY ahead, goliath can normally rape carriers, especially on an open map like that. Xellos lost not to the carrier but to the dragoons: he made a mistake and lost all his tanks so the final push was goon vs goliath which means gg for the terran.

And if you are Boxer, you can still lockdown them or chase them with clock wraith (or maybe not, in fact) ^^

[soulhunger1]

Amazing how a game can turn around due to one wrong move. Great commentary, guys.

[RealmEternal]

The dreaming protoss still dreams!

[Xbizkitl]

I used to think that hero-worship was absurd till I started watching Nal_Ra replays.

[aaronhedberg]

Sweeeet game, and sweet commentary. Thankx again, Moletrap and Diggity!

[superscissors]

yeah ignore the useless negative comments. Listen to yourselves when you started and listen to yourselves now. You're guys' dedication and growing skill rock and make starcraft awesome for the english community.

[thundersmoke88]

wow. he sent carriers straight into the heart of a hornets nest. beautiful flank with those dragoons. absolutly beautiful

[anti20]

fuck i cant believe i 4got this. was it nal ra that did that probe rush? just rember he was playin a terran n did a 3 probe rush

[huiumnumums]

Yeah I'we seen it in a pimpest plays vid but I've never seen the whole game... anyone knows where I can find it? And besides I think it was a 4 probe rush.

[l0rner]

Hundreds of people have been following his commentaries for months now but YOU think he should stop? How do you expect to be taken seriously?

Some people don't have what it takes to post commentaries and should just stop...

[l0rner]

I mean it's not public service. It's f*** volunteer work on youtube. Show some respect to what these guys are doing.

[japphan]

Watch the game in Korean if you don't like certain commentators. Or mute.

If you want to give critique, let the commentators know exactly WHAT you don't like.

Or should I maybe use your type of citizism?

Here we go:

Some wievers just don't have what it takes to comment on a video. You should just stop doing that. Much love to the other people watching this vid, though.

Btw. Moletrap has obviously become much better the last 3 months, now doing just fine.

[tejntanga]

I hereby nominate Nal_Ra's pylon block for Pimpest Plays '08! It was perfect timing, game changing, and totally clutch. 100% Pimp. Just like his glasses.

[aaronhedberg]

And I want to nominate Nal_Ra's glasses for pimpest plays!

[spawnfan101]

What a brilliant pylon block at 4:00

[MKChosen13]

great job guys thx for doing these :D SC2gg commentators unite! hehe

[rockslavesoft]

Great game! =)

[whatjamacallit]

awesome game

[MaiBoA38]

Nal rA has the sickest glasses...

/me wants them

[Sushiiiiiiiiiiiii]

WOOOOOOOO for commentary of the week

[stevz0r]

holy shit... ktf has such a legendary line up!

Nal_Ra, Reach, Yellow, and Flash.. wow

[thundasc]

and lucifer he was on a 9 game win streak a little while ago the kids a prodigy like flash and he has the players you listed to practice on in his own team!!

[Herms123]

that pylon block in the beginning was awesome. i think nal ra fast expanded cuz he knew he could do that.

[Zairair]

Nal rA just made my day!!!

[arthainius]

haha lol, blocks a bunker rush with a pylon

[hi19hi19]

Oh yeah :)

[ramirez6969]

xellos is disppointing

[veryfastpicket]

Charon rhymes with the name Sharon.

They're Charon boosters...

[dgmii]

yea, its actually pronounced with a "K" sound, like Karen

[kreternal]

How do you know?

[veryfastpicket]

...for the same reason I know how to pronounce the word "zealot." It's because I can speak English...

[kreternal]

No need to act so condescendingly.

Besides, Zealot makes sense because a Zealot is "zealous" for Aiur. No one said Charon boosters refers to a mythological ferryman.

[veryfastpicket]

I'm sorry, that was far more condescending than necessary. I was just insulted that you would ask me how to pronounce a well known English word.

Many, perhaps most, nouns in StarCraft are simply English words, such as zealots, dragoons, corsairs and, yes, Charon boosters...

[kreternal]

I'm not sure if Charon is a simple or a well known English word...

[ianuus]

Wrong, it's because you know some classical mythology, not because you can speak english. Charon is the ferryman across the river Styx, pronounced with a "k". Why Blizz decided to use that to describe rocket boosters, I'll never know.

[surGeonGG]

Because mythology is awesome? :)

[brm001]

Actually it is pronounced "Sticks" per wikipedia. The X is a ksi, not a chi.

[ianuus]

Oh yeah, I meant that the "Charon" was pronounced with a "k", not Styx.

[DeliriumSC]

It could've been after Pluto's moon...

[qbphoenix]

Yea, I've always said cha-run because I thought it was named after a moon. Makes sense: boost your anti air missiles to hit the moon.

[danielodunne]

excellent Ra, old skool is back baby!!!!

[infectioushobo]

Nal Ra is so Gosu! :'D

[Mazer14]

Pimp play by Mr. rA

[HunterBlackLuna]

That's why I love Nal_ra. :'D Thanks for the commentary, guys.

[ZkilfinG2]

(Y)

[ZenTrickz]

Nal rA is so cool

[friedtomatoes04]

nice game, nice commentary as usual

[odourpreventer]

It's funny, because in TSL this map has been a protoss haven, pummeling terran and zerg left and right.

[Finlandzki]

<3 Nal_rA! ^_^

Thanks for the commentary, guys!

[SpenceY2008]

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooo QQ i watched this last night when Jon747 put it up QQ

[velociper]

Great game, nice to see Nal_rA do well!

Are you guys planing to do Nada vs Hwasin series from MSL round16?

[anime4evr2]

[DnllnGproductions]
