IPL3 Kiwikaki vs Stephano g2 p2

[fresky74]

what a stunning game! congrats to both for such a great battle!!!!!!!!

[1000101er]

Watching your stuff backward from present. This is by far the most epic in the last three months. These guys are awesome! Stephano is my hero!

[WeHave2009]

Very good game, it exactly shows, how unbalanced and way too powerful Mothership is. Good Blizzard is getting a rid of it in next expansion.

[vimesish]

@WeHave2009 Um, the Mothership is removed becourse it isn't used. If it was "unbalanced and way too powerful" it would see a lot of action, both on ladder and in pro games.

[ctsincebay]

@vimesish Clearly you are a gold level player. The mothership is INCREDIBLY powerful. In fact, archon toilet has ruined the game for many zergs that have every right to win the game, as in in the case of this game. 2-3 archons plus a mothership can completely anhillate a 200/200 army. You consider that as fair?

[bumshka21]

This broadcast was like the pioneer before ESPN Classic eSports

[Jatischar]

this was epic, nothing less

[swamkip]

Archon toilet was patched right?

[Odium1981]

@swamkip yes, but it still is effective. This is the patched archon toilet.

[Jatischar]

@Odium1981 oh my god... what was it like before? xD

[swamkip]

Code S style of play

[Uraken74]

Well played by both! You can grumble about archon toilet tactics, but the mothership play as a whole was incredible.

[twazn]

fking gg

[vakfikebirboza]

Meh archon toilet is just like an abuse. Im not saying the baiting vortex before the main vortex from kiwi wasnt brilliant, it was, still archon toilet wins bug me off. Real cheap if you ask me.

[GizmoMofo7]

arcons and motherships... BOSS

[SoiLX]

LOL omfg WHAT A GAME

[DeMoNcLoVeR42]

nyahaha insane vortex

[GTXRussianXTG]

I thought they patched the arcon toilet. 

[Astaldo1987]

@GTXRussianXTG yeah, sucked in units are invincible for 2 sec or so. if you put in your own, they are also invincible

[yisoonshin12]

i felt my pulse quicken seriously there was no way i could let that zerg win (sort of biased i'm a terran player)

[Ropemancer]

Incredible!

[IIIIExabyteIIII]

What an epic game!

[UltimateAnswerIs42]

isnt the mothership kinda OP?

[FinDread0]

@UltimateAnswerIs42 Isn't all people complaining about everything being op when they see it winning the game?

[Baumstammclub]

really HD, one of the best game.. ur voice at the end ... u make me loled critical xD

[Malkalypse7]

Definitely not Stephano's best. He was far too passive with his army, most of the time just leaving it idle while Kiwi maxed out his army. He also completely wasted his superior air control. I have no idea why he didn't hit Kiwi's core production buildings at his base using the space between the 3:00 and the 12:00. That has been one of the key strategies for this map since SC1...

[KeeperOfDGroove]

@Malkalypse7 didnt look like he had much of a chance if any at all during both those times you posted. in both cases he could have just mass recalled back if he did decide to attack the buildings

[davikes727]

i had to go change my pants 3 times during this game SO EPIC

[DMGPlumsta]

I am now proud to be a protoss player!!

[deffdsp]

this is not epic... this is borring protos crap

[tommy1st8034]

WOOOOOW! that's so epic!!!

[MrATFRaptor01]

Wow what a game.....

[xMarty182x]

En Taro Kiwikaki!

[Meshga]

The best game. The best cast.

[LeFrenchBastard]

most... epic... game... ever

[hencker07]

HD remember to fill your lungs with air!! it's kinda important

[ewieranga]

stephano deserved that win :(

[ballagurilla]

One of your best casts hd.

[DreadedLeopard]

I'm really glad mothership is going to be taken out. Stephano deserved to win the game.

[TheSunnycar]

希望克努特和湯瑪士在天堂能夠永遠快快樂樂 :)

[CapitalistPanda]

i feel bad for your voice

[Wordabscess]

Ouh man, those two Vortexes in the end were so great. I don't think, Kiwi could have beaten the Zerg army head on and if he had allowed the whole army to get into one Vortex not much would be gained (Archon toilet ain't perfect anymore). So he casted them with a little delay and when the first vortex wore of he forced the Zerg ground army to reatreat or eat two or three full colossi volleys without any Broodlings to tank.

[AnimaRocc]

That is the best PvZ i have ever seem Great Cast HD!!!

[johnblasi1989]

Holy crap HD.... I don't know how you don't just pass out from saying so much so quickly.

[turbovire]

This was really unbelieveble! Enjoyed every minute of it!

[abrown2986]

Keep the mothership blizzard!

[Praetorians123690]

archon toilet is still effective...hate this brainless tactic even being a toss fan

so many toss player use this tactic as a last resort to win._.

[Crzyjesterz1705]

@Praetorians123690

Not sure if it was mentioned, but would storm be more effective here then archon?

[Praetorians123690]

@Crzyjesterz1705

I believe yes...but in such a tight game there's not much time for HT to store energy~

so he choose archon instead of storm?

[orcyngiser]

this should be patented as an alternative to viagra

[nvinitzky]

best games i've seen in sc2 hands down... beautifully done!

[BritishBroadway]

what a fucking game

[BadWithNames123]

that really was a awesome game : D

[tanekki]

HD, laughing at homeless people :D

[Fridamax]

Wow just wow

[NighttMoon]

Holy cow, just EPIC!

[mrnintendo88]

sweating... watching someone else play xD

[XxFudgeBerryxX]

are you Asian!? time to unsubscribe -___-

[vincentdangify]

OMFG

[HobbyHubs]

zerg should of won, broken mechanics are broken.

[Forbent]

But, wasn't the archon toilet nerfed? How did this happen?

[sandy4556]

@Forbent it was nerfed, if it wasnt brood lords would be allmost half health

[TeQuiiLaSHoTZz]

Archon toilet dont work anymore HD

[Calypso6917]

@TeQuiiLaSHoTZz It just did. It doesn't work as well anymore, but the invuln doesn't last that long. It's still effective.

[ZexMerquise]

Stephano should have known the toilet was coming. If HD knew it, he should have known it. The time lapse tells him there will be 2 vortex. He should have separated his army apart when they engaged. With all the resources, where were the ultralisks? I agree this was one of the most epic games ever.

[volleydrop]

kiwikaki FTW!

[mholtsclaw]

there is a reason the archon toilet got a nerf and why the mother ship is going bye bye in HOTS....OP

[nopuelbmuts]

@mholtsclaw the mothership is OP??? If it is so OP, why do I not see it more often =.=

[CAL1FORNIASUPERSTAR]

sweeeeeeeet

[mattphoto8]

unbelievable Kiwi must be the best protoss plyr ever !

[flames171]

GG but im glad there removing the mothership, kiwikaki wouldnt have won without that toilet at the end.

[louisterman]

it'd be very hard to sleep if you were my roommate lol

[spartnseeker]

"zerglings can almost destroy things instantly with that crack upgrade" :P

[FeelinVertigo]

19:44 , and this is a unbelievable display of skill for kiwikaki! LMAO yeah ok

[leaderrocks]

terrible -.- i hate toss players.

[userasdf]

hate archon toilets. so imba. stephano shouldn't have kept chasing that protoss army though. He knew that kiwikaki would just recall. Have to just counter.

[Flyingnugget346]

epic



[OurRooks]

1:55...32 kill Immortal. Oh. My. Gawd.

[fenrirbr]

HOLY SHIT! i don't even want to watch anygame now because whatever game id watch would be garbage compared to this one! fuck i just received an adrenaline bomb in my veins!!

[Clermn]

SPOILER: Chuck Norris wins.

[hotshot619]

Mama ship MVP of that game. SOOOOO awesome, thx hd

[PIGMAN1391]

3PIC

[dutchuplover]

wow whot A ode to the mothership this game h8 to c it go :( wp kiwikaki

[liamOHkay]

1:50, immortal with 32 kills.

[aoenjeru]

Must have been an awkward moment for Stephano when he realized that all his units were inside the vortex O:

[seriussam101]

Don't mean to detract from this game, they both deserved to win, but my God I hated seeing that end with an archon toilet. That pissed me off to no end.

[aleksandersucharski]

whoa. nice...

[Ericwong2ooo]

HOLY SHITTTT BEST GAME EVERRRR

[ldaulaire]

This was an absolutely epic game. Excellent cast, and thank you for posting it on Youtube :)

[Tixter7]

EPIC ... I loved the ending xD I was so on the edge of my seat with my nose 2 inches from the screen! xP

[cloudx4541]

Stephano would have won this game if he would of made more corrupters. He should of also tried to scout the mothership location and sent his corrupters to snipe it while the protoss army was moving out. Either way it was a great game. Glad vortex is being removed though.

[Frogiss]

if kiwi had high templars he gonna win sooner!

[Warphaker]

I literally clapped at the end of that. What an amazing freakin game. Thank you HD for casting :D

[Ansgi66]

this game should get an award

[NoXiNuM]

Replay of the year!

[aznball123]

That recall... Someone make him general of the army.

[fallenhero1988]

Kiwi always knows when to pull out =D

[darksevar]

@fallenhero1988 that's what she said



[OmeJAM]

hahahha lol diid u lose your voice

[thecs64]

damn protoss hero units im glad its leaving the game shits op and that was after the "fix"

[mataxp]

@thecs64 if i put myself in the zerg position, i'd rather the mothership than the tempest, if protoss can secure a third base, those thing will rape mass mutas and broodlords

[shihmeng91]

for a min, i am afraid HD loss breath XD

[kukukai1]

That was the most awesome toilet flush ever

[destrilogy]

That was the best game I have ever seen!!!! Go Protoss!

[kukukai1]

4:47 0 mining??

[voidstuff]

19:22 and the toss monster with twirly eyes is born

[Reciomane]

archon toilet nerdgasm

[tiagoinka]

Stephano is the best foreign zerg out there, period.

[yppers]

probably the best sc2 game i have ever seen

[ectorcab]

HOLY SHIT! Great Game

[perfuzz]

I'm pretty sure stephano vent - 'sacreu blue' - after this game.

[hiphilster]

those probes are bad ass

[Dyabolikl]

Now THAT'S how you use a Mothership. Truly an epic game.

[mdoerkse]

22 people deserve to be double vortexed.

[coMpLekS1]

HD!!! awesome cast.

[Lachy101]

cant recall mind controled units coool!

[StaticSilence1]

This truly is one of the greatest all-time matches of Starcraft. Amazing!

[gjdowdy1]

hd sounds like jared from superjail sometimes

[CheddaCheeseMGK]

I believe this game deserves the title EPIC.

[honkimonki18]

amazing!!

[trezeverent]

someone send this to CNN

[Gridlock471]

@trezeverent haha

[charonms]

i almost got a heartattack because of hd screaming at the end..awesome :D

[HeliconPath]

i guess blizz didnt fix the toilet bug :|

[hevshunter]

@HeliconPath it's not a bug, it's a tactic, and they did make it less effective

[razzp25]

That game was insane!

[zodiacr]

that late game commentary, almost like football/soccer commentators in latin america

[ONY535]

What a Caster!!

[Menega007]

Awesome.Period.

[finalfantasy10121]

God damn, What a nice freaking game!!

[Tommybotham]

omfg, what a cheao win from kiwikaki.. Getting owned all game so he has to resort to archon toilet which cannot be countered.. -.-

protoss noob up again simply.

[owensamrob]

@Tommybotham Cheap? Lol zerg QQ

[DreadedLeopard]

@owensamrob

It is cheap you faggot. Stop being so bias.

[olegavi]

@Tommybotham I don't know if you know this or not but the archon toilet was nerft back in patch 1.3 :

* Units leaving the Mothership's Vortex are now un-targetable and immune to damage for 1.5 seconds.

[dropdeadjuz]

Smoking while watching.intense.epic.win.

[TheWasabi123]

This will be the match I return to when I try to remember the mothership :(

[luisesel01]

EEEEEEEEEEEPic!!!!!!!!

[thepekay]

Why not just use those 1200 minerals to max out on zerglings and just overrun toss on that last fight? Not like he would ever get gas to build anything else..

[jereth308]

@thepekay Because they would have been burned instantly

[SquallLionhart409]

The toilet never really left, its just the temporary invincibility protects most ground units until they unstack enough that it isn't nearly as ridiculous. Against air its still really good because air doesn't unstack on its own nearly as fast as ground.

[communistpieface]

this match makes me sad that they took out the mother ship of HOTS :(

[mdoerkse]

@communistpieface But they didn't remove recall!

[quizzisation]

@communistpieface at least they kept the recall ability on the nexus.

[quizzisation]

12:48 damn sexy play.

[GertDV]

@XyYzXyXy You mad?

[Ryuouken]

Good job on the fake enthusiasm, HD. Its getting REALLY annoying. Every single game you cast is mindblowing, super awesome, amazingly fantastic. ... NO! OMFG. Either you have the memoy of a gold fish or you're just really, really stupid.

[Mofopoly1]

@Ryuouken LOl if it's so annoying then don't watch lmao. Not that hard to NOT click on HDs Channel :)

[Khamael1000]

@Ryuouken Sorry but if there ever was a game deserving this kind of a behaviour by the caster, it certainly was this one

[emeraldsone]

lol don't complain with the

step 1: cast vortex

step 2: dump in archon

step 3: win

bullshit.

A good player would be smart enough to avoid an incoming vortex, and a good protoss player would know when to catch them off guard. Show me a replay of a noob player pulling off a successful vortex against a better player and I will shut up, since you said it's a noobish 2-step skill. Go on. Show me.

On topic: Goddamn one of the best matches I've ever seen. Watched till the end and it was awesome!

[FeelinVertigo]

@emeraldsone youtube.com/watch?v=147Xo6zoy3­g&feature=relmfu

[Fanatisicm]

Oh. My. God. One of the absolute most epic games i have ever seen.

Thanks HD :)

[aGuyAndaGirlGaming]

BEST GAME I'VE EVER SEEN!

[machinenamon]

Can someone answer me why the big time pros dont' use carriers almost ever? I feel like at around the 25 minute mark Kiwikaki should've stopped collosius production and go to carriers because there was so many corruptors.

[GertDV]

@machinenamon

in any game it is :Too much of an investment, and once your opponent has corruptors/vikings, you cant switch to clossus.

In this game: Stephano was already had corrupters by that time...

[Sausack22]

@machinenamon corruptors still beat carriers...

[creativersd]

best zvp ive seen

[edxzaws123]

@knieveljaja u can use recall in nexus in hots, idiot

[jomastretch]

what a game!!!

[FantasiaCloud]

that shit was epic

[ELPCPU]

I thought Protoss should lose the battle due to lack of Anti-air, but the perfect vortex make the deal.

[MusicReign]

sour ending....

[phorth]

THIS WAS AWESOME!

[philly5839]

DAM

[jasper1141]

FUCKEN EPIC!!!

[weedpuff]

ARCON TOILET IS NOT AN UNBELIEVABLE DISPLAY OF SKILL. that shit is wack and thats why its gone from game now.

[ELPCPU]

@weedpuff But using mothership for vortex is double-edge sword. All because of damn neuro-parasite. For me, using mothership is high-risk low-return if there is no archon toilet/psi storm.

[MrYZ121]

omg what an amazing game

[Gusterwoei]

a single infestor can parasite the gigantic mothership?? Blizzard your game doesn't make any sense

[Powerrox93]

Epic SC2-game just got a whole new meaning!

[Downloader080]

Awesome game! Thanks HD =D
