I thought something was odd when gumiho's army didn't seem much smaller after the ramp slaughter... 26:22 I watched it again... Omg he picks up all his low HP marines. God tier micro...

[ManlyBog]

Holy moly two vids so close together! Thanks a ton man!

[RachelTension]

They ended that game with only 17 supply between the two of them

[hamzaargoubi]

this was a hell of a match, I watched live couldn't believe that gumiho could pull off something like that at the end, but I always thought his micro was underrated

[MrBunnyhan]

28:06 best summarizes how we all feel "wtf happened"

[Elcharlus]

This reminds me of the time before the widow mines got heavily nerfed, terran were just unstoppable. Here it feels it's honestly the same, the medivacs are almost a cheat in good hands, surely they'll get the nerf hammer soon. Still crazy match!

[Mstrzelecki]

This game with the guerilla tactics and moving around the map was more interesting than all the generic "suprise your oponent with a build hes not prepared for". Ofc I am a beginner so take my opinion with a grain of salt but from a viewer perspective this was very entertaining.

22:14 my jaw dropped. never seen anything like it

[fernandolt]

a protoss losing a trade-base match... what a surprise

[hudsoncaceres]

Gumiho rushing while Showtime had zealots in his base was such a strategic failure. That’s the difference between him and someone like Maru is the ability to read the game in the midst of all that. Still won though.

This channel does not get nearly as much love as it deserves.
I wonder if you get new and more audience start posting shorts with excerpts of the juicy stuff? Try a few and see if you see a difference. You guys do amazing work!

[Athinira]

Still not as close as Fantasy vs. Soo

For those who don't know that legendary game: Fantasy sniped Soos last Overseer, and his last unit (Cloaked Banshee) with 10+ corruptors sitting on top of it, he manages to take out Soo's last walking Spine Crawler with only 1-2 energy left on the Banshee.

[Tomoyuki_Tanaka]

That was amazing, and this was after two back-to-back finals between Gumiho and Showtime in both Home Story Cup XXV and Kung Fu Cup!

[Redkasquirrel]

I rarely watch SC2 games as a BW player but wow this one is up there.

[karrtoonz]

Just watched this with winter. Can't wait to see what these guys have to say

[TheDedictvi]

after seeing protoss abuse zerg with cannon rushes into immortals with warp prism micro so many times, it felt good seeing terran doing the same thing back to them with marauders and medivac micro.

[emmmber]

What is ShoWTimE wearing on his hand in the second game? Glove? Rag? What is that thing?

[housesg]

Showtime should have won it. it was such a shame.

[jariaxi]

I think the closest game was the difference between 1 ling, zvz cant remember who though. gg!

[CG-ehoe]

While this game was great and I could never pull off anything like those two, Im extremly confused by Showtimes decision to focus on the marauders all the time.

One would think that after losing two fights to hot pickups he would have learnt his lesson and kill the flyers first, but he keeps wasting shots on marauders that get saved anyways...
