Starcraft 2 - Battle Report #2: Part 3/3 (HD)

[lustri7]

wait a second how come they can attack burrowed zerg when they couldnt before?

[mattbenz99]

@lustri7 because you need a detector to attack burrowed zerg its like a cloak

[XxXBsLoRdXxX]

they should make an event that all countries can participate

[supermaksas]

Nighthawk?I thought it was a Raven.

[dnrwls93]

their apm is very slow compared to the korean sc1 players.

[sniperdude5236]

should have rushed in beginning..and built more crawlers

[DarkYasha15]

Is zerg the worst race out of the three in this game?

[ManticoreFire]

@DarkYasha15 Not really. The three races are designed to be equally strong. However, it should be noted that David Kim never played Zerg in these Battle Reports, and it is well documented that David Kim pwns all.

[DarkYasha15]

@ManticoreFire

I'm a zerg player and I can tell you that the terran and protoss have advantages over the zerg. The colossus and thors are overpowered and easy to get and they do insane amount of damage against the zerg. Also both Terran and protoss can wall their bases while zerg players cant. They also have a much easier way of scouting other players bases where the zerg really don't have that. Also not to mention you need a hive just to get detection(which isn't free for ovi's)

[ManticoreFire]

@DarkYasha15 And I'm a Zerg player too, and I never find either the thors or collossus all that difficult. less than 10 zerglings will kill a thor one on one, and a colossus will die to corruptors like they're nothing. Zerg usually win by massing cheaper units rather than relying on higher tech. That said, a brood lord will easily kill both a thor and colossus one on one.

[L0DBaal]

@ManticoreFire

yep...zerg are good for taking advantadge at the beginnig and force Protoss and terran players to back up in their bases...if you manage to do so..they're dead: puchase mutalisks...broodlords and corruptor and they'll die no matter what!!! zergling rush to whype protoss works...terran doesn't for the bunker stuff...terran are the strongest threat to zergs...

[DarkYasha15]

@ManticoreFire

Also the only anti air the zerg have in unit terms are hydras and mutas/corrupters which require a hive and a lot of minerals, where the terran and protoss have stalkers(easy to get) and rines and other units which are also easy to get.

[ManticoreFire]

@DarkYasha15 True, but Zerg can expand their economy the fastest of the three races due to how cheap a hatchery is compared to a Nexus or a Command Center, plus drones can be produced much, much faster than Probes or SCVs; so as Zerg, you can get such an easier resource advantage that it doesn't even matter that it's more expensive to tech. Also, queens and spore crawlers are usually enough to take care of air units until you get your hydras, and the hydras themselves pwn pretty much all air.

[zxc56km6]

Nice come back David Kim!

[stephen0258]

zerg could have probably microed better... also, mabey make some mutas too keep up mineral line pressure

[EyeEatPeople]

Ye Terran wins

[boskey10]

their is so many special units with awesome abilities, i always forget to use them all the time and thats the different from winning and losing.

[Sepharite]

Wow, I couldn't even tell who was winning or losing until they person ACTUALLY won.

[ramchay]

woo go david kim go

[krbernh]

Shit! They might need to nerf David kim's skills!

[Azarthes]

Wow that zerg player failed hard

[operationflux]

That was some good turn of events. Good recovery from D.

[masterling88]

GG

that was epic!

[johtor666]

Nerf David Kim

[cseijif]

@snelhest100 nahh, get in mind that the

good thing about the zerg is they expand fuking fast, he took a lot of time to create antoher expantion and have tree, you can only atart making tier 3 units when you have at least 3 hives, and he was fuking slow, i really dont understand why he took so long to create his third expansion

[lordwarcraft666]

naaaa that guy that play zerg is a noob... if he only put a simple hidralisk/zerging strategie he'll provabily won the mach easy.... =/

[KreiziUploader]

@lordwarcraft666 I believe the purpose of these videos is to show how the 1v1 system works and what kind of different units there are. Powning your opponent is not the primary objective. So that's why no "simple hidralisks" =)

[lordwarcraft666]

true in that 1 bro but still if you wacht the others battle report he always lose againts david.... I think the true reason of those battle report is for what guy are more vicious..... =P

[AthleticAce]

Terrans are so overpowered..

either that or its just David Kim is overpowered =P

[TheVIdeosOnly]

Terrans are not overpowered David Kim is just good and hes been playing SC2 a lot longer then Matt coopers and Yoen Ho lee thats why he has been winning

[AthleticAce]

the nukes are insane now though. you just have to research it and then you can nuke as often as possible.

[SoCalAries]

IDK how it was 3 months ago but that's, uh, wrong.

[ihateuikillu]

@AthleticAce Theyre not starcraft does a good job at making all forces even in some way, the thing is, u need 2 no how to use them

[zirwinn]

in space... how can banshee's propel??

mutalisk is an alien so i guess they might have some sort of chemical in their body to make them float just like overlord.... but propel? sc must explain how it works man...

[MrMONKEHBALLZ]

ur right how does the banshee work??

and wat evr happened to wraiths they were cool

[caemeroon]

damn i wanna play this game

[coolchild2001]

@caemeroon

its so dope :">

[coolchild2001]

@caemeroon

its so dope :">

awesome COmmentary man i learned alot !

[7gamex]

Terran seems a wee bit OP.

[cybercybex]

hunter seeker missiles should be nerfed a little like being disable when zerglings borrow or when protoss or terrans use cloak

[binshuy]

woot new tactics to exploit hahaha

[wertrewlim]

The game would have been over if Cooper micro'd those two banelings into the Terran's mine field at the beginning instead of getting stuck by the barracks. The path on the left was wide open. I want to play this GAME!!!!!!!!

[moonshiry]

lol terran looks over powered now? lol

[baker98745]

zerg shoulda won that one.....

[FreekisGollum]

same here m8!

[ilovesoup12]

David Kim is an animal. I watched the other two BR's before this one and I figured he'd go 2 for 3 once the Zerg's were sneaking in that back door.

Awesome use of those hunter seekers and great use of that 'expansion', which was actually a diversion. Pretty sure he purposely left it undefended so Cooper would take a ton of forces into it leaving them open to that massive force he had waiting.

I wanna play SC now....

[3x0rcyst3m]

man those zergs are unbeatable at ground attacks, good thing the Terran have really good flying units, or else they would've gotten raped.

[estaloca224]

man i start to like the terrans while i didn't like them so much on the original starcraft

[ltlocus]

David Kim has won every battle report 1,2, and 3 lol just too good I guess

[datfk]

wrong, cooper won the first

[buDDee3]

Actually no. David Kim won all three.

[ltlocus]

mmm... no he didn't go watch it again and get back to me about that. lol

[sassyfrass11]

really? did u watch all of that? cause ur 100% wrong..... Kim has won all 3...

[ltlocus]

why are you commenting on my response stupid fuck read my original comment two below some guy was saying Kim didn't win all three. so i commented again saying 'no cooper didn't win the first round' and that he go watch 1st round again. please learn to read before you type

[PhilipLu3]

I think the website needs to be updated. There are three units for the zerg listed.

[FreeedFromSweden]

could somebody tell me what marauders are? they arnt on the SC2 official website

[l337being1]

Game looks fairly balanced to me, zerg was raping early game he just fucked up and slowed down.

[WertigoFTW]

Zergs aint underpowered , its just david kim(terran player) that's crazy.

[slugmomighty]

zerg looks underpowered :(

[eyejab]

no more lurkers?

[ST3V342]

they are late tech, but siege... very strange units.

[walkertexasranger33]

theyres lurkers but i guess he just didnt see them as a good advantage especially mid way when the terran got detectors

[ehkhlim]

WOW... This is awesome, but it seems like there is a little bit of an inbalance between the factions, either that or Matt Cooper isn't that good.

[samurai4hire]

man the first game was awesome cant wait

[clingingtowhat]

it looks like the hunterseeker does same damage as banelings. good balance eh?

[JeNeSuisPasRaciste]

the yellow SCVs are called mules, they're units that can b produced by the command centre, they cant attack, but they harveswt twice as much resources as an SCV and they can mine from a geyser/mineral patch even if an SCV is in there.

I WANT THIS GAME!!!

[Rickder19]

I think they have limited life span though.

[xXxThOmMyEbXxX]

@JeNeSuisPasRaciste lol not now =P

[jonah232]

What a turn of play XD I thought the Terran were ass fucked, but I was wrong!

[Anfernies]

GOD i want this game out!

[iNokia]

what about the tanks? where are those great pieces of terran force?

[mrbozzo]

can't wait untill it gets out...

i must say those commentators are seriously enthusiastic about this whole matchxP

[freeanderson]

it would be nice if it could be fast moving & action more than now. even though through reducing animation frame rate.

[rebel98hashas]

I would build comando banelings XD

[Oneiroi729]

their usefulness in the field wouldn't last very long

[obsight]

what are those yellow scvs that just droped in?

super scvs?

[ENGLISHBL0KE]

...thanks for posting!

[shoutenry]

hmm nighthawks seem slow, couldn't scourges annihilate them? (if scourges are coming back that is) Do the nighthwaks have speed upgrades?

[Oneiroi729]

they're not back.

[PurepOis0n123]

OMFG i love these xD me want moar

[shoutenry]

NightHawks are the new science vessels? Hunter@seekers are like high-speed irradiates. Hydralisks are good units vs rines? I'm happy the shields are less rigged (at one point it was 40 hp to 65 right?) As we see in brood war at the moment, the longer the zerg stays in tier two, the better for the enemy.

[kentran9]

Nighthawk is the new vessel :D. The shield add the marine's HP from 45 to 55 (take 11 bite for a zergling to kill a marine).

[shoutenry]

yeah I know XD in the beta version it was from 40 - 65

[Swarzefasz]

how do you know that?
