[Wunji1]

I wonder why so many players back out when they have the units to finish the game. Idra could have ended the game at 15:27. Perhaps he just wanted to go out in dramatic style - lol...

[MrMilan90]

3:23 texture problem ??? On the right side of the creep...

[ShockaSlim]

Isn't it crazy how last year they were making that many marauders against zerg?

[MrAdonis258]

damn, metalopolis is really a nightmare for other races except terran.. it's really amazing that idra can win this!! NICE

[KohTheName1]

*look at video length* most of the time Idra is gonna win

[FrikZz0r]

This is like the 7th match I'm watching and no one is playing protos. The fuck is with that?

[iDJyork]

imagine being an ultra inside an overlord..

[Angelslayer007]

31 equals infinity 

[killacam876]

MOAR BUFFS TO FUNGAL GROWTH MOAAAAAAAAR

[Alexon88]

@killacam876 no, Fungal Growth was actually strong before patch, now it got better. Infestors move relative quick offcreep. so It will be all fine next patch when they move bit slower. (except energy on thors in T v P (feedback - requires to emp yourself even more limiting the terran vs toss))

[killacam876]

@Alexon88 lol I was being sarcastic, although idra say that the '-.25 speed to roaches' nerf is actually a buff because they used to run ahead of hydras and roaches and now they wont run ahead and get killed anymore 

[killacam876]

@killacam876 idk why I said roaches xD I meant infestors

[HybridEnergy]

"Infinite corrupters" lol

[bretkill]

I'm really getting sick of people sending me replies every other day saying "omgz, nobody likes to send replays of them losing, duh." Yes, I know. I made that comment three months ago defending Artosis when a lot of people we're saying he must be a fanboy of IdrA since he only posts games of him winning. Although, I know Artosis still is a bit of a fanboy of him. :P

[SiriusPP]

battle cruisers exists here? 'cause in SC when a zerg went ultras, the battle cruisers were the winners, and in the replays i've seen so far (4 or 5 of terran vs zerg), there wasnt any battle cruisers

[Alexon88]

@SiriusPP this is not sc1, sc2 new game. yes BCs exist, but his strategy was mech play. he didn't have any tech for your BC out.....

[FatalPivots]

I was thinking, can you put broodlings in a nydus?

[nejtilsvampe]

@FatalPivots you can't control broodlings and the broodlings lifetime is too limited anyway. Why'd you want to anyway?

[FatalPivots]

@nejtilsvampe I wouldnt want to, i was just thinking.

[nejtilsvampe]

@FatalPivots don't over do it though, it can get pretty dangerous tbh.

[FreekSharkHD]

Is it me? Or does IdrA always complain like a bitch about how Terran is OP and imba if he loses, but the only way he ever defeats good Terran's is by massing Brood Lords and Corrupter? Come on dude. I could do that in my sleep.

[Dabidapp]

@FreekSharkHD yeah, certainly.... Terrans are very user friendly and therefore a little bit OP, it's just mere fact. Sorry, dude.

And doing in your sleep what Idra does? Again, sorry dude, but i don't think so. Unless of course you are a top rated Master League player, ... then you still couldn't do what Idra does.

[KAmaKAsa1]

@Dabidapp actually toss and zerg are cake compared to playing terran with multiple bases

[Alexon88]

@Dabidapp Referring to Korean Pro gamers. Terran is actually the worst Race because your units are slow and pressure is easily seen by Toss and Zerg so they can answer pretty well on Macro-Maps. This is after the Medic nerf after the Infestor Buff etc. While Toss can warp in units everywhere and zerg can reinforce very fast with creep (via OLs and Creep). Terran's Strength is to get into good positions and timing attacks. Zerg often loses because they simply underestimate the TossOrTerran Balls

[imsuchafatboy]

well.. you have to realize.. artosis is a zerg player.. idra is a zerg player.. and he's probably trying to help "other zerg" players get better.. so.. watching games that he wins could help ^^

[thedarkwatcher]

good stuff from Idra

[sonofathena91]

Use mineral and gas to makes oGsTOP looks like an idiot. What A ZERG!!

[EddyMcK]

I feel like IdrA could have ended it way earlier

[fuckifacation123]

@EddyMcK he MIGHT have been able too but when your sitting in an economic advantage its better to just play the game out instead of trying to end it, because if he attacked and it failed then idra would have lost because of an attack that wasn't necessary.

[coldracoon]

What is the site mentionned at 0:58?

[coldracoon]

@coldracoon 0:54 I mean..

[Craftystarcraft]

I believe your audio is a hare ahead of the video, not sure though. It would be great if you could see if that can't be synced! Otherwise, great videos recently.

[UnholyOneToo]

Dont commercial GOMTV! It suck ass hard...

[DrewStarcraft]

sound is about 3 seconds ahead. if you can fix it, it would be very appreciated

[HonotBoundElite]

I haven't noticed him saying now a lot but now I know every time I watch an artosis replay it's all I'm gonna hear lol

[newgeniusbrother]

And it looks like video/audio gets out of sync as the cast goes on. Every time the video temporarily freezes the audio keeps rolling. Could just be me, but thumbs up if you get the same problem.

[newgeniusbrother]

I think the gamma's still a little high on most of these vids, but just personal preference, I'm still happy for the HD.

[GuinnessKMF]

I liked the cast, it was enjoyable, my only constructive criticism would be to try to say "now" less. It's like saying "um" frequently.

[hoboreborn]

"Basically infinity corruptors on the way"

[kariido1]

Congrats on the new rig Artosis :)

[grayseeroly]

Not covering replay time?? Otherwise great vog.

[alexanderzero]

It seems like Idra has gotten a lot better recently. I think he will do better in GSL2 than the first one.

[UltimateMarauder]

Hmm. Wonder why IdrA is only sending you games where he wins. And only TvZ. And only Metalopolis. And only in the same positions. Every time.

[nicko64c]

"oGsTOP, one of oGs's top players"

Oh Artosis, what a master of puns are you...

[iloverikku714]

video freezes a bit. video and audio not sync. and congrats on you computer no more low graphic game

[mojowo11]

The audio sync is a little bit off -- you were a second or two ahead of the game. Otherwise, nicely done.

[bretkill]

I don't think Artosis would only cast games that IdrA wins. It's more likely IdrA is only sharing replays that he wins.

[shnoor123]

@bretkill u had to spoil all the fun ?

[MrSouptits]

@bretkill I That's because every Foreigner loves to post games of IdrA losing, so it makes him look way worse than he really is.

[metalreflux]

@bretkill idra wins ALOT though, typically when he loses is when his replays land here

[visualkei72]

@bretkill well, we see him lose enough in tournament replays and other replays, so it's kind of nice to see him win. it validates his skill level.

[xecray]

@bretkill Artosis dick rides IdrA... so I'm sure its a combination of both.

[jimbobanalbeats]

@xecray Well they're good friends man. That's how it goes. IdrA is one of the best.

[EndlessReplays]

@bretkill idra just dosnt loose.....ever......except to huck...always lol

[ZachFr33man]

@EndlessReplays Idra mainly loses to cheese.

[1cyRange]

@bretkill would you go out of your way to share videos of you losing?

[bretkill]

@1cyRange If it were still a good, entertaining game, of course.

[icedragonSg]

@bretkill idra doesn't share replays very rare so other people post them and it's usually of them beating him. Not many of us like to post replays where we lose.

[GaYpAcO]

@bretkill now i know who wins stfu please dont thumb up comments which tell you somethin about the guy who wins..-.-

[Alexon88]

@GaYpAcO lol stop reading comments before. yo uwant to fullscreen anyway

[henninggangso]

@bretkill more like idra always wins ^^

[CDPuffer]

@bretkill idra does not release his replays. you will see TONS of games him him losing on random videos cause people release them of themselves winning. also idra has a monstrous win loss ratio. so its not uncommon to see games he wins ;)

[spoonalisk]

@bretkill or maybe he just wins alot

[AssFragger]

@bretkill Idra doesn't share replays.

[MrMilan90]

@bretkill It has nothing to do with IdrA if we are talking about tournaments but hey everyone has the right to share replays that they want...

[Kholdaimon]

I agree with Aziansniper.

Especially because Zerg is so strong versus Terran it becomes rather boring to see...

[Kholdaimon]

While I like your vods, I strongly dislike only seeing Idra win.

It only shows us Zerg games and only games with the same style.

Comments are pretty good and quality is good aswell. Hopefully you can show us some more interesting games soon.

[aziansniper]

Game is good, but you can't only cast games where idra wins.

In your commentary, I don't know if you are noticing it or not, you sound completely bias, and it's obvious who's going to win.

It takes a lot of fun out of watching your commentaries. You also focus way too much on idra.

I like idra because he's a strong player, but it's no fun watching a bias commentary with predictable outcomes.

[Cmc1022]

Idras late game play is incredible. I feel idra improves faster than any other player and before long hell be the best.

[gmanthebeast1]

I shall have idras babies

[SirDraker]

I don't want to watch Artosis's replays of IdrA because he only cast replays that IdrA wins.

[saimpot]

IdrA vs TLO please =]

[siciliano29]

Lovin' the HD vods man ( finally ;) )... awesomeness.

[TheRandomSkillz]

zerg is op

[FlyinDaggers]

@TheRandomSkillz with 5k minerals in the pool with your opendent on 3 less bases and spending all his money maybe.

[TheRandomSkillz]

@FlyinDaggers

at no point could terran win that.

[FlyinDaggers]

@TheRandomSkillz Ya I know because its impossible for a terran to beat a zerg? Don't judge someones mistakes as not being able to beat another player. What you expect to give the zerg more bases, do no successful harass, and then beat him? I am under the prediction that you dont even play this game. Let alone at even a platinum level.

[TheRandomSkillz]

@FlyinDaggers

bro calm down just calm down.

it is OK......

deep breaths it is okay.

[shmurt11]

game was very entertaining. commentary, not at all.

[DukeFyalar]

Hehe Neural Parasite, a useful spell toi have

[flaree22]

omg awesome

[Maurinovsky]

I love Artosis, Idra, Husky,, HD,,, etc etc... thx for making youtube a great place to get content from!!!!!!

[Pixiez]

Artosis Artosis you are doing it wrong. You have a 23 minutes video. You can break this video in at least 3 parts. This is how "cool" people do it. If someone asks you "why you do it like that" you can say "Sometimes videos fail to upload when you have a big chunk" and so, people will forgive you.

[Cerecyte1221]

Lol feel like idra waited much to long to attack. He could have ended this much earlier.

Tho i know, what he did was the safer play.

[gavnastyyy]

Hide the timer plz.

[smuldia]

@gavnastyyy Kinda pointless since YouTube already shows the duration.

[gavnastyyy]

@smuldia Not if you put it on fullscreen.

[tcha1234]

Would Thors' ability help against those ultras?

[seniorgir]

@tcha1234 not really. it doesn't stun ultras.

[bager202]

nice job artosis^^ liked you on the SoTg aswell, but atleast for me the video and sound were not in sync, thats really the only thing that i think you should improve. Thanks

[TheKamotechunk]

hmmm idra is a monster! but borring to watch unlike fruit.

[Angelooohh]

i wanna see artosis games

[hmoob7]

You're so bias. You only post games where Idra wins. You do everything you can to prop him up but in the end, he falls flat on his face, as always.

[Pangora2]

@hmoob7 He just won MLG. Must be a fluke.

There's so much popular hate for IdrA despite the fact the guy is a proven, solid, pro gamer. If he loses in the slightest people throw a party, not for the guy that won, but because they simply dislike IdrA. That behavior is shameful.

[FFontanet]

@hmoob7 - Yeah because winning MLG in a dominant fashion is all the proof we need that he fails. He crushed players like HuK, Kiwikaki, qxc, and Select.

Umad bro?

[zyronsc24fun]

If you don't like Idra wins, go watch Huk replays, always winning against "B-list" players. These are top tier Koreans IdrA is playing. Keep em coming Artosis. gg

[hmoob7]

@zyronsc24fun

Has Idra ever beaten TLO in a series?

[Reflect0tcelfeR]

@hmoob7 Yes

[goldrobber]

did anybody notice that this replay started out almost exactly the same as the last? the colours, what artosis said and paid attention to... kinda weird.

[HeroicDolphin]

@intoximacated I think the main reason is that SC2 hasn't been out long enough for really aggressive builds. Also, koreans are a lot more aggressive than europeans, so it seems faster. Give it a year or two and it will be really fast paced.

[DeadWombat1421]

Ultras "so good" against thors? WTF are you smoking? 1-on-1 a thor can kill an ultra, and that advantage increases even more in larger numbers with focus fire.

[Krtyle2005]

@DeadWombat1421 Actually fully upgraded for both, in a 1 on 1 ultras win.

[7Losses]

@DeadWombat1421 Ultra has splash damage.

[grodskins]

artosis, ty for all the Z games learning tons of these games, but if u know any1 who shows basic zerg strat pleaze let me know cuz, i really really suck at this game

[intoximacated]

SC2 seems so much slower than Broodwar...

[TheTachy0n]

@intoximacated It's not though. Mechanics may be a bit easier but it's same speed if not quicker.

[intoximacated]

@TheTachy0n I mean more the feel of it. You remember when Jaedong and Flash would play broodwar and there would be ten things happening in ten different places? Here it's like battle, marco up, battle, macro up...

[TheTachy0n]

@intoximacated Well there are alot of matches with great multitasking but the game is new and people aren't hat good yet. The firstyears of BW was far worse than SC2 is in it's current state :)

[Carutsu]

In my experience is completely the other way around.

[Ortonruk]

I should re-phrase my last comment. I really have nothing against Idra.. there's no question he's an exceptional player but I mean.. I'd rather not know if the replay's were sent personally by one of the players involved in the match. Anyway, enough moaning... thank you Artosis for casting these games, keep up the good work :)

[ZodowO]

I like how u remain calm during the battles are dont get super excited ^^

[blossombay]

idra is really the macro king. i think the only way to beat idra is constant harassment in the early stages of the game. but then idra is so good in deflecting that away. maybe cheese then

[Tsenister]

@blossombay

macro>cheese

[AznGeek987]

@blossombay and then he rages lol 

[MrGuibig]

Yo Artosis Hide the Replay bar, you dont want to know if he going 6 pool tht the game last 15 mins... or 32..!!!

[Brotrr]

@MrGuibig Eh, who the hell cares. You can tell how long the game is by the youtube bar anyway.

[ryco99]

ur sound is a bit delayed

[xxxXSmokeyXxxx]

Your commentary is a bit ahead of the vdieo. Juss sayin.

[japphan]

I would like to see a muta transition by a high level zerg player to see if it works out. Sure BLs are awesome, but mobility play can also be. Thors cannot be everywhere at the same time, when there is the threat of ultras as well.

[mholden02]

Idra attacked first time @ 13min -- Had 5 Base - MAXSupply - Ultra/Infestor army.

Top had 3 Base (1 Not Mining yet, so 2 really) - 140 Supply - Hell/Thor/Tank.

GAME WAS OVER

13min, under no pressure, 2 Base, 140 supply is beginner Level Macro.

[BlackM3rcy]

hey artosis, how did you get the blood in your game to be black?

[wooozeh]

@BlackM3rcy it's how the korean version of sc2 works

[Vert3X44]

Good game! Thanks for sharing

[DavidtheDuke]

Idra was in macro heaven this game

[UhhNegative]

I really like idrA's transition of ling/infestor straight into ultra but I see some early timings like right before infestors come out that could be troublesome to deal with.

[Tsakan2]

@UhhNegative while that may of been true

Idra was all over scouting him and knew if it was coming or not

looked like he decided he was fine and hell it paid off for him haha

[lykos619]

Is it just me or has every idra game been the same level against terran in the same spawn locations?

[ericeborn]

excellent game, good quality (at last)

LOVIN the nydus play as well,

[Hydra264]

@wsng0116 maybe because IdrA wins most of his games. Maybe because almost all casters post games of IdrA losing? Maybe because your a dumbass fucking troll that should leave your hate to yourself? So go play in your copper leauge. Kkthxbai.

[davidahn100]

Why are all your casts of IdrA in a TvZ matchup in the bottom right hand corner?

[ilikepiedontu]

@wsng0116 agreed

[wsng0116]

Artosis is so bias. He posted all the winning game of idra and praise him like no other

[SarkFaLL]

@wsng0116 god knows someone needs to, he's easily in the top 10 of zerg. Bad attitude or not.

[brizihe]

@wsng0116 Dont be a stupid prick. Artosis clearly said that idra gave him these games. If idra only gave games of him winning, then what's artosis suppose to do?

[terrozterroz]

i'm impressed by idra. it seems like he really wants to take this GSL and he probably can do that, esp with 1.1.2 patch

[nmlyons24]

loving the Idra replays, thanks man. Keep em comin

[quikijiki]

tihi. Korean version has black blood^^

[Advenger22]

I can't wait to some of IdrA's new games and how he deals with tank drops on LT, and see what he does with the terran nerfs and the roach buffs.

[amazingdany]

BL and ultras = heaven! If only the game coulda been the new updated one.

[Wugdor]

My only complain about this was the audio was a little bit off due to some freeze/lag time in the video.

[LordNikonPL]

looks like IdrA owns this map with zerg

[Advenger22]

oh, and your gamma is a tad on the high side =P

[Advenger22]

Woot =D love the commentaries Artosis!

[foresttdog]

great game, bad lag

[DaveHofm]

neural parasite is also awesome against scouting workers as you can build buildings of the worker

[GodSaidSoSoHa]

0 dislikes, something is right with the world :)

(btw it's still desynchronising a bit, most noticeable with the fungal growths)

[kentliu]

@GodSaidSoSoHa Your post caused 5 dislikes...

[rawrnomnomnomgrrrrrr]

i don't care about the video and sound quality i just want more Artosis

[Adean26]

Never ever ever EVER let Idra sit around and macro. He will win, and you will cry. End of story :P

[lukabert]

ARTOSIS FIGHTING!

tell your friends about artosis

half of the casting archon

[Zony1]

Lol has anyone else noticed that Idra is always in the same position on Meta, and his opponent is also always in that position? Anyway great commentating Artosis

[GrassCutterSword]

Come on guys stop trash talking about the eccentricity of IdrA. Many people qq and rage-quit not just him. There are a lot SC player with a bad manner worser than IdrA. Seriously Stop trollin him, we get the point.

[thedeadnotsleeping]

go fighting IdrA!!!!

[hariseldon78]

please don't spoil the gg, suspance is 50% of the show!

btw it's rare to see someone using brood lords AND corruptors together.. i've seen a lot of good zerg players making 12 broodlords and loosing all to 3 vikings!

[Lindlaar]

I love how idra use to qq CONSTANTLY about terran being OH SO op, and now you never hear anything from him because he finally started to figure out how to counter terran builds. Look at that Idra, it wasn't the game, it was you.

[etismyname]

@Lindlaar

Zerg was buffed...twice

Terrain nerfed.....twice

Of cuz he won't complain anymore

[Lindlaar]

@etismyname

You'll notice that idra was constantly getting owned by thors marauders and marines, none of which have been changed in either of those patches.

Also, zerg was buffed? I think you mean they were nerfed. Outside of the roach changes, which were last patch which these games are prior to, ultra damage was lowered.

All of the stuff that idra was bitching about is exactly the same. He just finally figured out how to counter it.

[etismyname]

@Lindlaar

zerg was buffed, even Blizzard stated the patch was to buff them. don't forget about the hp increase for buildings and nerf to zealot and reapor rushes

ultra damage was not lowered, read the blizzard comments, I think they said something like the previous damage splashed already caused less damage when there is only one unit

I mostly read their post from facebook which links to their offical site stating why the changes, I think you should have a read too

[rlagksquf]

Are you ever going to upload vods that Idra loses? great series of games btw

[sekalf2]

i think the reason the audio is desynced is because the video lags at times, but the audio doesnt.. so at the end they get out of sync

[darksaiyan2006]

I like the commertary and the video quality, but I don't like the fact that the blood is black. Make it red, as it should be!

[5croobius]

Thanks Artosis, great cast as usual

[ilibasic]

ultras are not better than thors ffs? :S 3thors vs 3 ultras see who will win :) nice vid anyway but thors FTW :D

[AnzaBrush]

@ilibasic That's a pretty bad way of figuring out which of two units has the advantage in a game. 3 ultras on creep win vs 3 thors, for example, and even off-creep, larger numbers of ultras beat larger numbers of thors. Ultras also have a massive mobility advantage, so zerg tends to choose what terrain to engage on.

[Kalfastehpro]

As the other said, the sound get desynced, it becomes 1-2 secs too early.

[GisliPK]

I'm very happy that you got a new computer! Hopefully you won't disconnect from games anymore! Love your stuff, if you vlog more from GSL I would be so happy!

Best of luck and thanks for the upload!

[mike7775]

put the game time on (thumps up plz)

[bobjimjones]

loving these artosis. keep them up!

[KimmoKM]

I think it would be nice if you had unit health bars as "selected".
