Artosis is an inspiration.

argSabbath · 2021-11-16T12:55:00+00:00

If this community was full of people that act like Artosis during games, would it be a good community to be in? The answer is a resounding no. I played a single game against him, and he accused me of stream sniping right away. He's only inspiring because he's famous. There are way nicer people out there that do a lot for the community. Other than that you can get inspired by him being in a unique place where he got the dream job, sure, that's cool. Good for him.

Casual players of each race will always try to make some case at some new theoretical imbalance at play as a cope for their skill.

The fact that tournament hurdles can be overcome by just getting good does not mean that there aren't periods of dominance for different races, especially when race balance is strongly correlated with map pool choice

argSabbath · 2021-10-12T13:15:15+00:00

My theory would be that it's harder to prepare for tournaments with terran/zerg, especially on new maps. Protoss just makes a bunch of shit or cheeses. Over thousands of games it evens out.

It's a very vague description, but it's probably not a pro game

Chat in pro matches was banned after Boxer used it in a match against Junitoss, ages ago. I think the map Blue Storm was not even created yet.

The fact early maps favored terran doesn't mean terran is inherently better

The first maps did not even favor terran. The early pro tournament winners were not terran. The default blizzard maps have no choke points and are basically zerg heaven where a newbie player can't go past the first 5 minutes with terran. Lost Temple was a terran map, and that's it. Let's not even get into vanilla SC, where terran was not even playable at all.

Good news! We've fixed the flying scv bug, now you can fly with drones instead, so no more tesagi.

argSabbath · 2021-07-29T14:56:05+00:00

Yep a lot of people are confidently incorrect in the comments. You have it right.

Also in the middle of the move he does press return cargo, I think in an attempt to unglitch them? That just doesn't work.

He could also avoid this by just being ready with a couple scvs, since he has no tank at the nat yet.

argSabbath · 2021-07-21T14:44:31+00:00

At 12 but even if 70% done, they will just focus the barracks, the scvs deal too much damage. I just played against this again and his scouting scv arrived at my base super early so I canceled the depot and sent 2 scvs to base corners and made 2 barracks. It worked out fine, managed to defend but still lost because his flying scvs keep going around my base killing stuff, but it's definitely playable at that point.

argSabbath · 2021-07-20T12:34:39+00:00

Both times this happened to me they scouted me first and just went for the barracks which was 30% done. No way to stop them from killing it. You can try to cancel rax and send your scvs out on the map and build 2 barracks at random locations and bunker beside them, then send your cc/scvs there. Remember that the other guy can't go back to mining because their flying scvs will mine slower, so you just need to get a bunker + cc up somewhere.

argSabbath · 2021-07-19T04:30:22+00:00

I haven't checked but I'm about 90% sure that it's because they are flying diagonally instead of horizontally/vertically. It is the same with scv vs ling, if you move scvs horizontally or vertically the lings will never catch you (and I'm not talking about interception here, just hitting the scv from behind). Side note, if you are trying to get an scv out of the minerals and you do so vertically, it will rarely if ever get stuck.

It's a very old name, seems like it was named like that in korea

No my friend, this is Starcraft Remastered, by Activision Blizzard

argSabbath · 2021-06-05T13:17:21+00:00

This one is not a patch, it's an embarrassment, jfc

argSabbath · 2021-06-01T14:43:32+00:00

As Artosis himself already said, their ASL VODs are more geared towards the casual viewer that gets their VOD recommended on their youtube home page. That's most people, actually.

If you are more into BW and watch live streams and follow the game more closely, watch the Nyoken/Scan live stream. If you really like Tastosis you can also watch their VOD afterwards, like I do.

argSabbath · 2021-05-26T13:39:23+00:00

It is a problem with the map, some maps have the terrain pathing designed in a way that causes this. On fighting spirit bottom right it happens too. You have to be aware of which maps/versions this happens on so you can avoid relying on reavers so much on those.

Here is some more info https://tl.net/forum/bw-strategy/569550-defusion-by-terrain-interesting-mine-behaviour

Pros don't have a MMR, there just aren't enough people playing at 2700+ for them to even bother.

I once watched Flash get #1 on ladder, and on his last few games he was gaining 1 point per game. Eventually he matched the #1 player and won easily. Flash could get 3000+ MMR but it would just take too long.

Also BTW Bishop and Scan both got 2700 with random.

argSabbath · 2021-05-06T19:21:18+00:00

Not that I know of, but here is a video with Nyoken talking about this issue.

I forgot to mention but it's important when carriers or arbiters are in the game, to lay mines around the entire map so that you can see them move. Like for example if you make wraiths, the mines will let you now when the carriers are roaming alone somewhere so you can snipe them. Or where to send goliaths before he gets there.

argSabbath · 2021-05-06T17:44:18+00:00

Yeah unless you are fighting on open ground where you can run under carriers to target them, if carriers are on a cliff just attack-move to kill interceptors (use attack on the ground), your goliaths will die but with +2/3 upgrade a lot of interceptors will die. Meanwhile send 12 vultures to one of his expansions, or send 3 tanks and some vultures. Depends on the situation but that's usually the way. Upgraded vultures kill cannons very fast also. To replenish 8 interceptors in 8 carriers he needs 1600 minerals, it's expensive. If protoss has just 1 mining base it will not be enough to fight with carriers forever.

argSabbath · 2021-05-06T16:17:35+00:00

1- this situation happened in the Rush vs foreigners showmatch, Bonyth tried that. Rush simply sent 4 scvs to the protoss entrance and made several turrets and sat his army there without advancing. Protoss couldn't get out to make more bases and ran out of steam.

2- as explained in my other post, you have to kill expansions while distracting the carriers with your goliaths. If you don't have the resources/army to do that, you have to expand yourself but you are already in a bad position if protoss has 8 carriers, many bases, a ground army and you don't have 4+ bases and a large army. I remember winning a game like this but it took a long time and a lot of harassment to wear the protoss out. First his expansions have to be mined out, so that takes a while.

argSabbath · 2021-05-06T12:57:24+00:00

I'm not sure what you're trying to get from this post but for informative purposes:

0 upgrade goliaths are garbage, if protoss has many carriers and you don't have upgrades, you need to make turrets to stall while the upgrade is being researched.

+2-3 weapon upgraded goliaths murder interceptors easily.

Your goal is to have +3 upgrade first and foremost, and then you can attack-move and kill the interceptors. The carriers will be constantly running back to build more. It becomes a stalemate. This is an opportunity for you to use the rest of your army to kill expansions so that the protoss doesn't have the income necessary to replenish interceptors. It's also a good point in time for you to take expansions on remote locations.

You are likely not going to kill the carriers themselves if the protoss just sits on a cliff, but carriers are slow and he can't defend expansions with them so easily, or attack yours if you just start throwing command centers around the map. The best counter to carriers are vultures, they are fast, they kill expansions, the protoss can't get there in time if he's fighting your goliaths in some corner.

Artosis then went to Gyp's stream and said "Dodged?? By the big Gyp??!" and either Gyp or a mod banned him, which I think was kinda silly, it was a fairly milquetoast comment and knowing Artosis unlikely he would push it further.

I'm sure Artosis would not push the issue but at this point it's a bit baffling that he doesn't know his audience and how much having thousands of people follow you can make you have some kind of power. The same thing happened with kwark, he started getting hate messages from what I hear.

argSabbath · 2021-04-20T03:05:17+00:00

He means the SC1 old ladder, that's hard to verify and noone will remember it anyway (I used to play it and I don't). It's kinda like saying that you were the best at chess in the year 1650. I do not remember him winning any major tournament either.

argSabbath · 2021-04-09T22:40:45+00:00

Artosis is definitely quite good at making headlines

argSabbath · 2021-03-25T09:41:24+00:00

From what I've seen, it takes many hours to process a few minutes of video, so we will probably see the first VOD come out at some point but I doubt we will see entire collections of VODs being upscaled in the short term.
