as much shit as we give artosis he can analyze situations and beat off some of the mind games played. good game!

Haha he said that he was around 2300-2400 I think. Surely he has to know his stuff to get up to that level. In my opinion, the only English caster that can be compared to Artosis, whom I know of, in terms of delivering detailed and deep analyses, is Nyoken (I don't know his rank though). I enjoy their casts a lot and I appreciate them more especially when we start listening to someone else cast.

If i remember correctly he left arround July/August 2018 so we can expect him back arround May/June this year. As far as i know there's no reason to believe he won't return

All of Shuttle's late game PvZs

You can watch his games vs EffOrt and Larva in ASL5. Bisu vs Larva in ASL4 too was good. Rain vs Effort in ASL2. Bisu vs EffOrt and Soulkey in ASL3. There's many more, but these came to mind.

Soulkey is excused from military for 6 months because of financial reasons. Apparently he lost a lot of money, poor guy.

Thank you. Hopefully this will help with my play. Is it just me or is difficult in PvZ late game? It is sad because many Zerg like to turtle when I play ladder. So I have no choice but to enter 50 minute game!

PvZ does become progressively harder in the late game on average. The solution is timing attacks and harassment, as well as ensuring that you have at least 50% of the map with defense. In the super late game, all things equal, Protoss should win because of Templar low mineral cost and their spell arsenal.

Yes I suppose you are correct Jealous. I have been mixing in a lot of storm drop and dt drop and zealot drop lately. So the logic goes like this: gas is "infinite" (mining off of 6 depleted geysers is pretty good) so you may as well do lots of storm drops to get rid of minerals which are limited. Yes?
Hallucinating Shuttles and flying them all around the map might be really good too for kill scourge. Any other ideas like this?

The logic is that you force Zerg to spend larva and money on Drones instead of army, which means that they can't just keep pumping units non-stop, which is obviously good for you. The infinite gas thing only really applies in the super-late game, as I mentioned before, where Protoss benefits much more from that scenario where there are no more minerals on the map.

Hallucinating Shuttles to absorb Scourge is something that I've never seen done before so I'm going to assume that it's not a good choice. The logical explanation for that is that it's better to use Storm if the Templar has energy, and that if there are Scourge then you can just use Corsair which you should have anyway. Another is that a Shuttle with speed should outrun/dodge Scourge anyway if micro'd. Yet another possible explanation is that if you have the time/APM to be hallucinating Shuttles to catch Scourge, then you probably could be doing something better with your time.

Trying to stick to what's known about the game is more likely to make you a better player than trying to come up with quirky solutions (if your goal is indeed to win and get better).

Bad news for Soulkey, but good news for us..does that mean he can play in ASL9? Ive seen him streaming BW recently I just assumed he had a few days off or something. Would be cool to see him compete again
