That blink micro was not creative at all. It is expected that you use blink micro to dance your stalkers around in battle like that, or you will get crushed!
@lazypanda19 For holy playing the game a couple of hours using blink in any effective way is pretty impressive. This is the meta game of a game that was not even released yet, what did you expect?
Stalkers here seem very dragoon-like. Were Archons stronger back at this video? They act like they would make a big difference, when in current versions they're actually pretty weak...
Definitely not a rush to get more bases. Of course being able to expand is great for additional resources, but not having a stable setup before expanding is often a high risk move. Multiple poorly defended bases is a very brittle defence. Especialy against a highly capable assaulting race like the protoss, its probably the worst move you could make.
The main reason for the Zerg player's demise is that he didn't use the right unit to counter the Stalkers. Mass Roaches against mass Stalkers is a bad idea. The better choice would've been mass Hydras.
If the toss player could close himself in, waste resource on cannons, live with one less expansion, and still win the game. Something is overpowered. I don't see great micro with that blink, anyone could've done that. So yes, stalkers are overpowered.
I agree. Zerg focused on economy- that's what killed them. The Protoss' mass of uninterrupted drones and the fact that all minerals were spent towards offense won the game.
You've clearly got no idea what your talking about or why zerg lost. The Z player lost too many drones during the first phase of P attack, losing 1 or 2 workers as zerg is already critical but he lost 6. Protoss kept the pressure with his 2nd phase of attack, so Z could not keep both his mineral lines fully saturated, not even close. At this point P's 1 base was probably mining more than his 2. What screwed from all chance of recovery was going Roaches instead of Hydras vs. mass stalkers.
stalkers seem to be abit overpowered because judging from the many videos that there's a protoss team, they often mass-produce stalkers which should suggest they're cheap in resource use and their blink ability just makes them way too mobile
They are idiots,just like you.All Koreans,"pro players" like fast stuff,zomg fast faster fastest!.You can see for yourself how all zvz matches are dominated by mutas and zerglings and how all matches on bnet are fastest and on fastest maps,but that doesent mean those are the best units or maps.
Bad positioning. He let the stalkers get to a choke point where he couldnt get behind them. The cheap blinking tactics works against all the early zerg units as long as they are not surrounded.
Great great micro! Great Great Battle! Terrible Terrible damage! sigh.. its getting seriously repeditive haha. anyway, the zerg player was bing a complete idiot. he lead all of his forces back to his hidden base with the entire army behind them.
Zerg did like 3 matches`(the one i saw) And noone of that 3 times they won! (the battle reports and this one are the one i saw) Zerg must be made better!
Actually, what he could have done is flank. Hide some Zerglings in the middle of the map and make the Stalkers blink into 30+ Lings. But he was probably far too behind to pull that off due to the Lots.
But remember, Starcraft 2 has new units and new strategies to fit these new units. Do you think that it's still unbalanced? Only a few units are still there, BUT they also do have new strategies and new abilities. And he just learned the blink ability, and learing quickly. It's more of a matter of learning quickly in this game.
i love how the units move but the Announcers annoy me sometimes they are speaking too fast mentioning the obvious (well the are good, thats the only thing i can rant about :P)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
those stalkers are so unfair! zerg has nothing against it. The commentators are just excited that a pro player is using a "new feature" blink ability that was not there in the previous game. but had this been SC1 Sonkie totally owned that game normally. stupid stalkers make the races so unbalanced, Protoss is way too overpowered
Doesn't look to overpowered to me.. And sonkie was a warcraft pro.. not starcraft... Either way he sucks as zerg.. with that many bases up he should have been able to easily flood the protoss.... not to mention he let the protoss turtle up .. which has never been a good idea.. Even in SC1
and you're a mofo, hence you have no right to live, should just go die. what kind of attitude is that, jerk? how do u kno if i can't beat ur ass in iccup? how does saying blink is imba make me a noob? where's the connection? and what if I'm a higher rank than u? maybe C rank is too low for u? having that many bases obviously gives u resource advantage which can make u win. ok Sonkie sucks, but maybe I can beat ur ass so stfu
uhhh... yeah...except this is starcraft TWO???? and scbw was NOT ALWAYS SO BALANCED?? it had to go after MANY MANY UPDATES AND PATCHES MAYBE??? and scii is STILL IN DEVELOPMENT??? and units and abilities can be SCRATCHED as well as RENEWED???? dumbass....
right... what for? I know just as well as you do that SCBW is reknowned to be the best competitive RTS in the world, partly because it is well-balanced. And so what's the point of bringing it up here? what does it prove? that SC2 is also imba? why, on, earth, did you even say that comment?
and what comments come from a guy who hasnt played the game and start saying everything is imba. learn to write and to judge first, my impression of you is simple, you havent played the game and start making stupid senseless assumptions, i have no time to waste my time arguing with you , i know you are a noob, and you know it too so why fight?.
The fact that you say my judgement is baseless is flawed, my friend. Clearly in this video the stalkers were the winning factors for Protoss, using their blink ability. Yellow neither used corsair (scrapped in SC2 thats why) nor reaver drop (also scrapped) and still won an outnumbering zerg, it's like winning with a bunch of goons vs so many more hydralisks and lings, it just cannot happen in SC1...i'm refering to what this video showed. the only reason is stalker blink is imba.
do you remember when sc1 was only just about bio units(m&m vs toss)?, perhaps when vultures werent even used?, or now that valkyries are more used than ever before?. basing your judgement on one video of a game that hasnt even been released is way to rushed. also this has to do with playstyle, BO, so obviously the zerg was kind of sucking and to say a unit is imba you have to think constructively. atm stalkers seems quite good that doesnt mean they are imba or that they will be i mean who knows.
Of course theres going to be plenty of changes done to the units for ballance purposes. What worries me though is the super units. I really dont see what place the mothership / thor and whatever it is zerg gets has outside the singleplayer campaign. Imagine getting 5-6 BC's squashed in a black hole and lose thanks to it. F*ck that.
Pro Starcraft gamer against pro Warcraft 3 gamer. Who do you think is going to win at Starcraft 2? Everyone should keep in mind, this video is from a very old build. A lot of things have changed.
i think both races are fairly balanced its just that sonkie wasted alot of his units without damaging yellows units... in the second set especially he couldnt control his units( banelings and lurks)
Yeah this was a beautiful game to watch due to the impressive protoss micro. This is especially cool sicne Starcraft 2 seems to strongly encourage micro.
Think Blink looked good but really could be overpriced, and it just seems to be microing made ezy. but without the archons i think coulda turned out different.
People who are complaining about starcraft 2 (even before it's release) are totally immature. They're doing stupid immature presumptions about how the game is going to be like "imba; difficult micro; etc".
If you liked Starcraft: Brood Wars, well guess what. The same people that made SC:BW made SC2 so stop with all your stupid presumptions.
I'm saying that the gameplay is still looking sweet as ever, the new abilities, just like in the classic Brood War, aren't overkill but can turn the tide of any match, and the new terrain and graphics are looking nice. However, I personally fucking hate how the archons and gateways look now. Lings moving faster on creep is awesome. The creep actually makes a difference and does more than allow spread now. Pretty sweet.
This is proof that warcraft will retain its crown over starcraft, i mean u still can just turtle and defend in your base until you get some stronger units out. Warcraft still has the hero system which motivates players to go out.
pfft. Yellow was able to scout Sonkie's main which was enough for an aggressive strategy seeing as how Sonkie went for a fast expand rather than a spawning pool first. Once the first expansion was totally overrun and the stalkers attacking the main, gg should have been called.
Just because Yellow didn't scout most of the map doesn't mean other Starcraft players don't do it. Watch more Starcraft games to see its brilliance.
warcraft is a joke compared to Starcraft, Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne is a joke compared to Starcraft, why do u think they had to make so many...cannot compete with the Brilliance and Balance of SC.
I wanna see a big army of stalkers like that get killed. I wanna see some counters for stalkers, cause right now it seems that blink ability is too much, BUT I really don't want to see the blink ability taken out of the game or overly slowed down, its too cool.
Oh how the meta has changed, not walling against zerg close position is death these days for protoss, and macro hatch on the lower ground what? :P

After watching this, I now have a saying for stalkers:
"I can teleport in your base and screw your SCVs in bed until they are dead.
While your dumb marines are figuring this out,
I've already teleported away, and will be back another day."
While watching the Stalkers kill almost everything in two hits, I just hope that this game is not another Protoss-run circus.

maybe they are.
but IMO the fact that how much you expand does not determine your chances of winning should make this game more interesting than previous SC.

Damn that was great macroing with those stalkers! I can tell he wont be the first to do that, but wow! Great game, I cant wait for SC2.

Micro not macro. Macro is like expanding and stuff and strategy on a bigscale, Micro is strategy at the individual unit lvl

This is much better than the recent battle report... Blizz has to hire more decent pro-testers.

Yeah this was a beautiful game to watch due to the impressive protoss micro. This is especially cool sicne Starcraft 2 seems to strongly encourage micro.

yellow pump out those stalkers so fast. He had a few zealots and cannons and secondes later has an army of 20+ stalkers... insane.

Think Blink looked good but really could be overpriced, and it just seems to be microing made ezy. but without the archons i think coulda turned out different.

People who are complaining about starcraft 2 (even before it's release) are totally immature. They're doing stupid immature presumptions about how the game is going to be like "imba; difficult micro; etc".
If you liked Starcraft: Brood Wars, well guess what. The same people that made SC:BW made SC2 so stop with all your stupid presumptions.

I'm saying that the gameplay is still looking sweet as ever, the new abilities, just like in the classic Brood War, aren't overkill but can turn the tide of any match, and the new terrain and graphics are looking nice. However, I personally fucking hate how the archons and gateways look now. Lings moving faster on creep is awesome. The creep actually makes a difference and does more than allow spread now. Pretty sweet.

This is proof that warcraft will retain its crown over starcraft, i mean u still can just turtle and defend in your base until you get some stronger units out. Warcraft still has the hero system which motivates players to go out.

Retain its crown? When did Warcraft hold any thing over Starcraft. Never. Stop judging the entire game by the tactics used in an early alpha match.

pfft. Yellow was able to scout Sonkie's main which was enough for an aggressive strategy seeing as how Sonkie went for a fast expand rather than a spawning pool first. Once the first expansion was totally overrun and the stalkers attacking the main, gg should have been called.
Just because Yellow didn't scout most of the map doesn't mean other Starcraft players don't do it. Watch more Starcraft games to see its brilliance.
Warcraft never had a crown over Starcraft...

warcraft is a joke compared to Starcraft, Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne is a joke compared to Starcraft, why do u think they had to make so many...cannot compete with the Brilliance and Balance of SC.

I wanna see a big army of stalkers like that get killed. I wanna see some counters for stalkers, cause right now it seems that blink ability is too much, BUT I really don't want to see the blink ability taken out of the game or overly slowed down, its too cool.

I think they'll probably severely limit their energy or something. So that you can only do it like 4 times a minite or something.
