HDWT Semifinal A: Dimaga v Socke g4

[pranaytopgun047]

yawnfest

[ByrnsEvangelista446]

RIP to GomTv after seeing this site quitgn dot info

[kowalityjesus]

how corny that sc counts seconds faster and the casters actually take it seriously

[operaghostandkitty]

For heaven's sake, it's SAH-KAY, not ZOK! My ears are bleeding from listening to this; he has another tag called "Sockeh" to show people how it's supposed to be pronounced!!!

[Madarpok]

Today is void rays, and void rays come afterwards XD

[KittyStarcraft]

Did you guys c the neural parasite on the mothership ??? EPIC !!!!

[iiiiq123]

i got this in my sub box in my email

over 1 month later -.- wtf

[moxistarcraft]

@iiiiq123 haha same..wtf

[fernandohmoran]

Great battle. Absolute carnage! x)

[darnell168]

reaper raven abuse ftw even though it has nothing to do with this game

[josephting]

Don't know why the link doesn't work sometime when you copy it.

Shortening it seems working for me.

goo. gl/IqeAG

[umadbrow]

Why is terran so retardedly OP? All terran players are babies who dont have a brain so

they rely on the OPness of terran

Why does Zerg need to execute everything perfectly and win 1000 skirmishes while

the braindead terran players can lose 1000 of them and still 1a stim marine to victory?

[CreepersOnSpeed]

@umadbrow Never heard of the term 'Zerg Rush'?

[umadbrow]

@CreepersOnSpeed

No, cause terran can never be rushed with their "no brain needed-super wall"

[CreepersOnSpeed]

@umadbrow Guess so

[FLESKFIST]

what the watch did I just fuck?

[GaMerBoi15]

Can someone explain to me why at 26:59 when the protoss had the Mothership with cloak, how was the zerg still able to attack the cloaked units?? I did not see an overseer in that battle so I am very confused. Can anyone explain or was there an overseer?

[azeroterium]

@GaMerBoi15 He used fungal growth to "uncloak" the units as this spell reveals the units under such condition; and the later on he used neural parasite to control the mothership thus ending it's cloack of enemy units

[9TayTay9]

The Zerg Mothership is the best part. xD

[azeroterium]

Damn!! that was sooooooo boring, I feel cheated by Dimaga and Socke, it's as if they beforehand decided it was a macro game, and choose to try out mass unit of either kind, then as in the previous game the one with the advantage just withdrew battle and allowed the other player to rebuild his army. I love the way Dimaga and Socke play, but this was just plain boring. As stated by gwallace: "the viewer loses" sigh :( Sorry HD but thumbs down on this one.

[klebics]

cheesy voidrays? Again? LOL

[EwanTBC]

sssssocke not zzzzzoche -.-

[Dahxelb]

I think dimaga could have played smoother if he had split up all his broodlords and done some harassment, because he did NOT need THAT many broodlords clumped up like that! O_o

[ragnarok8972]

That spoiler alert comment is the most accurate comment.

The viewer loses. I don't think I have ever seen two more chicken sh1t players.

[managarm1349]

1000th thumbs up :) makes happy

[ToastKing100]

AND THE STORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Opiuth]

28:19 The biggest Mistake !!!!!!!!! Dimaga made!!!! He didnt need to push and wipe Spcke,.... but he sure could wiped out 2-3 farming bases....ffs Dimaga!!!! WHY?????

[xtechbiz]

LOL I love the part when HD says AWW WHY DID HE FALL BACK, AW MAN.

[phantomninja01]

Why did he waste all the Roaches? He could have at least pushed with them and try and do some damage.

[rdongart]

@phantomninja01 Hed did not want Socke to know that he was completely shifting his army composition. That was worth more than what little damage the Roaches could have done.

[undersquirl]

omg such an epic game!

[Malkalypse777]

Two things: 1) This is the first HD cast game I actually got BORED watching, and 2) Dimaga absolutely deserved to lose.

[ojon12389]

SEMI SPOILER COMMENT:

you have 60+ air units. When there are archons and storms, dont F***in stack everything!

i do respect dimaga as he is a zerg and usually has interesting games, but man.

[Bahamut2218]

Why is Dimaga not overcapacitating? He doesn't have the dough, HD. Silly.

[vamosfazercurta]

vai se fuder hd.

[fenrirbr]

i really feel they didn't get this game seriously , this looks like some bronze passive game

[sinborn41214]

why no broodlord/hydra? and why kill roaches, why not a move at his base? who knows, they might just be cost-effective.

I felt like I was watching a fastest map possible match in slow motion

[trainingninja]

lol i always wondered...if players are going at most of their expansions toward each other wouldnt it be economically effective to consume the expansion nearest the enemy so you can just get the hell outta there after ur done? then again i knw its a risk for being the most targeted expansion...meh..idk just smthng to think abuot i guess

[CiceroProductionsIII]

8:10 socke is swithing up his strategy here will not be going for burrowed roaches meanwhile we have a ton of roaches that have burrowed at the natural xD

[Gilthans]

That looked like a game of no rush 30 minutes.

[TimmacTR]

fuck this is just ANNOYING!!!! DAMN DIMAGA ATTACK ALREADY!!! :D

[windterminator49]

this game i felt like that Dimaga was a wery bad player, with all the best units, and all the best moments to attack. Basicly like a 10 year old boy playing cardgames, with all the good cards, and not useing them.

[santeenl]

pft what a boring game... and why didnt dimaga comitted at some point, he had the favor...

[typoded]

this is singlehandedly the most rediculous game i've ever seen

[Gyozomroka]

wtf what a weird game

[JohnyConsumes]

Dimaga really dropped the ball on that match, oh wow as im typing that HD said it himself woot

[Headcase9]

This match and last match are completely and unacceptably boring.

[Mostopholes]

This is one of the worst matches I've ever seen. When I saw the length I was initially expecting something exciting, but it's loaded with mistakes and timid play.

[henryhill2645]

thys is a borin match after rd 3 actions.

[oracle897]

@farameer9 I just LOL'D until i couldn't breathe. Too bad it's true.

[rah26or6]

Near the end, HD was like that dude in the Hindenburg disaster back in '37 "Oh... the humanity" xD

[nbaumg]

how do you clump the over loards like that? how do u keep them from magic boxing?

[korpiz]

boring game.

[TyrantRaveGamma]

@farameer9

I head is full of fuck. Thank you.

[mikillatja]

take to the skies sc2 style

[Rxxr]

in this whole serious HD made so many mistakes and missed so many important details, its really annoying! ffs Dimagas neural parasited the freakin mothership and he iddnt realize that!

[SuperHaer]

@Rxxr Well he always does that. He cast's fun matches and this tournament was great. But when he casts it's like he's not looking at the same game as we are. Because he does not seem to understand what's going on.

[rob24svc]

this is the ultimate

[jantoniotjhang]

the opening song goes like HAHAHEHA HI HU HAH !! HAHAHEHA HI HU HAH !!

[Sephirothjx2]

ha!



[ragnarok0013]

you shouldn't be so rooting for zerg when you are commentating. At least try not to be biased

[haydenh13]

This should've been the championship.



[istink3000]

hd's metaphors are soooooo bad XD

[ljhyun89s]

why is HDs views dwindling down :( makes me sad...

[Kings2hell]

WHY kill a whole roach army, it's ok if it's only a few, but not like 50+

At least he coudla done some damage.

[WhiteAngel998]

8:16 Socke will not be going for burrowed roaches. Meanwhile there seems to be some burrowed roaches!

[Mitsoumi21]

I feel bad for ya HD must be hard work trying to make Dimaga games excitin.. After the other 3 i cant stand him no more ^^

[BoeserWolf1977]

a little boaring over the time but nice - I think Socke will really get mad watching the last 2 replays - regarding how often he could have won....

[mrtigerman4ever]

mass void rays....anybody care to tell me how to stop them? as in, if they have x amount of pop of just void rays, what zerg units can beat them using the same amount of pop? the only thing i can think of is having a shitload of corruptors and having enough infestors to fungal them half to death. but this is not a plausable strategy because then the toss just rebuilds and corruptors only attack air...

[Kings2hell]

@mrtigerman4ever Usually, the zerg marcos that army easier.

Diamaga's staregy just failed and he let socke marco back up without doing any damage. U usually wont see 7-8 stargates + 20 warp gates.

[rsbandbj1j2j3]

a 35 min video.... geee i wonder if it will be a macro fest

[Squashkakashi]

it was a long strange game ,but i gotta say dimagas Neural prasite on the mothership was awesome :D

[Absydion]

I'm sick to death of seeing Dimaga give away the lead in these games.

[proxySC]

Yet another dragonball z style game.

"I WILL WAIT FOR MY OPPONENT TO REACH MAXIMUM POWER, AND THEN I WILL DEFEAT HIM TO PROVE I AM STRONGER!"

so much for strategy...

[Rednex101]

Why didnt dimaga just send in his roaches to at least do some damage?

[HuskyVerbatim]

@Rednex101 He probably didn't want to show that he was freeing up supply.

[Declan107]

weird game -,-

[xxxxTheDonxxxx]

Good lord that was dull, Dimaga would not know when to push an advantage if the timings were announced by day9 with a loudspeaker...

[lostlover1984]

this game was so dull. I wish Socke would show a little more aggression , it would have won him game 3 and cut this one about 20 minutes shorter.

[eran5005]

5 minutes of starcraft 2 , 30 minutes of garbage time with HD trying to keep us from falling asleep... very poor game from both of them.

[Anodyne123123]

he used the fake mass void tech against idra not collosus :( by the way, the only reason i watch hds channel is because he is choosing good games.. but his commentary gets worse by the minute i guess :x

[ylin7687]

This is like trying to cook a steak by breathing on it , what a noob game

[junzzz2]

boring game ever

[alanedwards09]

if dimaga just would of pushed instead of fallin back to make more broood lords after he knew the counter was already on teh way, he would of won!

[eplu]

@paulacsr srZ :S

[Rak3R1]

8:10 And socke here is switching up his strategy, will not be going for burrowed roaches, MEANWHILE we have a ton of roaches burrowed here at the natural. ??

[bertvanbertenernie]

both their decisionmaking has been REALLY bad all games so far

[gwallace12664]

*SPOILER ALERT*

The viewer loses.

[GinToYura]

oprays

[garthmichel]

W T F was dimaga doing?!!

[witeporcelan]

One of the my main observations on this match was my idea I talked about below. Dimaga has really good creep spread which is standard for him, but if you noticed between the 10-14 minute mark he REALLY puts a lot of attention on getting the highway of creep to right in front of Socke's "base zone". He also put a lot of focus into the Crawlers which could easily be moved to hold this position if the "low Drone - High Attacker build forces opponent to stay in base. Seem applicable. Comments?

[witeporcelan]

Was boring but there is something that can be brought from it. HD has a good idea about making buildings with drones, creating units, then canceling drones to reach more than 200...What you are failing to give credit is the Dimaga realizes that since Spine and Spore Crawlers take up no supply and can be moved around, they are ultimately a good creep spreader's way of doing even more of the "Swarm" style Zerg. I don't play, only watch, but I have been talking about this idea to a friend forweeks

[sardingu]

Cold War Tiem

[chimosh]

This game makes me angy

What a fucking shit game.

[iceboyhalk]

silver leage?!!

[PaniPoniClipz]

Coldest war ever.

[farameer9]

i use to hate the intro music until i started hearing " all the fucked up people"

[interfactor2]

@farameer9 omg why did u tell me that :D now i am hearing it as well

[XGamezOnlyX]

@farameer9 lol true xD

[Runehorn]

@farameer9 thanks alot! now i hear it too!!!

[Runehorn]

@farameer9 thanks alot! now i hear it too!!!

and this game is a big mess of WTF......

[omuploii]

@farameer9 someone said that way before you

[SecondAlias]

@farameer9 dude, that is epic.

[yuch1102]

are these players purposely playing bad to make this series seem more "epic"?

[SC2FanKAFKA]

wtf was dimaga thinking this entire game?!!!!!!! If he wanted to tech switch he could have marched his burrowed his roaches in or anything rather than killing them off himself. And why the eff did he stop pushing with his awesome army??!!!!!!! NOOB mistake by one of the best zerg ever. %&@#ing dimaga!

[zzyehf]

don't worry hd, i still love you.

[wsboxer1]

I seriously have never commented on any YouTube videos but HD....you have gotten so annoying in your casts man. The super drama voice get really old. I watch all your games on mute now or just go watch Diggity. Calm it down with the drama!

[Tyranistorm]

@wsboxer1 OK lets see you make exciting casts monotone boy...

[Mardaick]

Owned by Clfarmer :) .. i should refresh before posting a comment.

[Mardaick]

Didn't read all the comments, but HD missed the Mother ship's mind control at 27:00

[clfarmer]

Mind controlled mothership... AWESOME !

[ZheGerman]

whenever I see the "megalord" I think NUKE or PSISTORM!!! would be so much fun ;-)

[djnavi850]

boooooooring

[Nitedragon001]

Sham-Woof? New Mothership Upgrade?

[Talibeay]

Actual game:

26:54-27:20

27:50-28:15

30:49-31:10

33:46-34:21

Rest is just HD talking and some stuff going on in the background :P

[rumilization]

@Talibeay i should have listened to you...

[eternity00000]

@Talibeay the rest were just stressing me out

[basilman121]

@Talibeay Thank you so much dude!

No sarcasm at all I'm serious

[golumpygo]

bronze league tactics has awoken from dream? :D

[xs2dan]

YAAAAAAWWWWWWWNNNNNNNN...

[atesaksac]

lol thor's accent, "mothership is here"

[Hydramus89]

What are they doing!!! :O I'm disappointed :( pfttt i know they're better than that :P

[TiltoftheZodiac]

"i wonder what diamaga has cooked up his sleeve"

"he's building 6, 7, 2 corruptors"

lol HD, I want you to do a speech at my wedding.

[TomFra1000]

"He's building up 6, 7,...2 Corruptors!" :D

[rayxu1996]

Carriers would be awesome. Instant kill all AA

[TeQuiiLaSHoTZz]

WTF !!! What is this! They both playing with 1 hand!? And why not send the roaches and get them kill while doing damage than killing them yourself!

[arekmak]

oh quit yer whinings, it was pretty cool waiting for the action to happen

[zombiegamer0L0]

I thought fungal growth lost the ability to use on air units? I must have Misread some patch notes?...

[furioho]

@zombiegamer0L0 i have never heard about that, but would be awesome, because going for mass phoenix just4fun in 3v3 orf 4v4 would be a lot easier^^

[mynameisUhrl]

they've built up *so* much hesitation... They need a break, some air, some sleep and then try again

[latestarter027]

wow thats the worst game ive seen out of pros for a long time.

[mrseanbob]

So boring. They looked like bronze leaguers.

[maico3010]

This looked like a bronze level game

[YJWoadWarrior]

What a boring game, this is the biggest gripe I have with sc2 it rewards you for sitting in your base and macroing up. Anyone can do that. A pro game should consist of tons of multitasking battles everywhere.

[bkingsantos]

mensch



[bin1127]

for a zerg to give up his macro advantage is very unsettling. Socke was still reeling from his 2 losses so Dimaga should've power macroed his way through this game. WTH broodlords and corruptors?

[daddeyy]

zerg pushes out and all the protoss needs to do is put out a couple of forcefields, doesnt matter if zerg has a much larger army. just sick.

[Baseball14islife]

27:02

Mind controlled Mother ship...

[bruncev]

Sure it may have been on of the most boring matches a lot of us have seen, but it doesn't stop the fact that this is a tournament... whether you like it or not this happened to be a game played in said tournament, HD HAS to post this so the people that are complaining dont complain even more saying WHERE'S GAME 4? Shut your faces please and enjoy the incredible casting that HD does FOR FREE for you whiny little babies.

[LizardVideoDude]

So long and boring, worst game I've ever seen. Like watching two boxers circle each other for 40 minutes without throwing a punch. It should count as a loss for both players.

[Tranchera]

Why the hell would Dimaga kill all of his roaches like that? If you want to free up supply, fucking throw them at the enemy. It doesn't matter if it's a failed attack, they'll do damage.

[abitbol51]

thats not how you pronounce plethora

[TheSoldier1851]

I wish we could have seen the void rays exterminate those pesky brood lords.

[magicpoptartss]

Thumbs up if you saw the neural parasite on Socke's mothership!

[ClovisMcPaul]

MEGARAY

[SexyDragonProduction]

does hd watch the game he cast? so many wrong cast calls this time

[T0pel]

@SexyDragonProduction What?! This is a tournament. :-D

[saphisto]

i think its the 1st time i actually fast forwarded a SC2 game...

[dancoy09]

such an awesome series brinng on the last!

[reddragon52894]

Wow a hit on Idra. Idra and HD sure do have bad agreements about things. They insult eachother anytime they bring up the subject.

[xenocore01]

Starcraft, the Movie, the Sequel

[HoneyBadger0007]

HD's casting sucked

[dancoy09]

@HoneyBadger0007 dont watch then ?



[toumy9358]

if the protoss got some carriers, this might have ended sooner

[voidstuff]

i hate dimaga now.

[Anestori]

you suck HD, get it together, and it wasnt colosus it was void rays...

[CowKingFury]

@Anestori

You SUCK Anestori , link the chan of u casting Sc2 games with dedication, u sir have nothing and have been found wanting u lack!

[Shortkid110]

@Anestori u mad

[regoConker]

i hate to see that random cannons nearly in the middle of the map are the only way to stop mass roaches...

[brassmonkey623]

if he had gone void ray carrier against those corrupters and blords i would have laughed. sure blords can spam infinite units...but can they attack air 2? also want to let every1 know that the mothership was neuraled, hd forgot to say that.

slow game.boring game

[chendol901]

@brassmonkey623 broodlords can't attack air

[neofrankyboy1988]

boring...

[daBeetzify]

Wait 1 VRay > 1 Corruptor? I didn't know that :(

[demonsoulzx]

@daBeetzify corruptors only good against massive units. and they have to use corruption ability, that's +20% damage from anything hitting.

[kujnekaj1]

08:10 socke not going for burrow roaches meanwhile we have roaches that are burrowed

[lifeofasalesman01]

what a retarded ending to an epic game. all zerg has vs void ray mass is hydralisks, and even late game 1 storm will clean out 20-30 hydras. stupid.

[demonsoulzx]

@lifeofasalesman01 infestor fungal/infested terran. but feedback. Also mass lings baserace, lings will win easily. but yes, voidrays at a certain number is ridiculously strong. Just like carriers. If a toss can get ~20 carriers (only carriers and probes), not even mass corruptors can stop it... but then who manages to get 20 carriers
