  • great commentary :) and broodwar forever!!!

  • Man Brood War is a million times better than SC2 both strategically and aesthetically. Why did SC2 have to go all cartoony? Why does Raynor is 2 look like some gay Gears of War character now? He used to be cool.

  • sc1 is soooo hard compared to sc2.

  • I miss lurkers, but mostly i think the overlords ability to scout invis units from the word go was just so epic, Bring on hydra spd Hots I got old strats to resurrect lol.

  • Amazing game... BW is such strategically superior than SCII

  • More broodwar!!!

  • terran was pretty stubborn with those tanks, pretty clear it wasnt gonna work.. needed some marines or maybe some valkyries to get rid of the queens.. still a SICK SICK replay

  • EPIC!!!!!!

  • More bw actions please.

  • I'm glad you kept saying how big a deal it was that he was playing late game against Terran without Ultralisks. People who haven't played Brood War can't realize how big a deal that is.

    It is like playing PvZ and not having Colossi.

    That being said, that was phenomenal queen control.

  • If I could play Brood War with SC2's controls, omg that would be the best game ever...

  • I got sick after watching this awesome replay

  • lol, and he is still alive! (a vulture comes and shoots him) splat!

  • HD's casts are "doubly" effective on BW

    <3

  • Brood war is so much harder than sc2 from what I can see. The one thing I can't master is managing a huge army douse there are no control groups, you can only hotkey 12 units to one number and that just bugs you.

  • New BroodWar once a week plz??

  • its more fun watching bw but its more fun playing sc2 coz i suck

  • WHAT?!?! emp negates queen energy... EMP should actually act as a stun ability vs mechanical and ghosts have psi lockdown or something like that

  • 10:12 HUGE! 

  • it took years for bw to get to this stage, in the beginning, people were just all ining every game like in sc2.

  • @Majorohminus Indeed, but actually its easier to master sc2 than bw, so the difference between a common player and a pro is not THAT big in sc2, compared to bw.bw give a bigger place to the skill and the experience, thats why its still entertaining to watch.

  • your crazy, BW is goood, but SC2 is great

  • i feel bad now i didnt get this game il try to campensate later :D

  • Thumbs up if you want to go back and play brood war after this!

  • BW Infested Terran > Baneling

  • Queens actually have been showing up in brood war pro-games. They just rarely work.

  • zerg winning a long game with a terran???? the way it's supposed to be!!!

  • VOTE UP the comment below! NOW!

  • MOAR BROODWAR!!

  • guardians not brood lords 

  • queens cost the same amount as tanks. So theoretically if you broodling a tank, the queen will have paid for itself. The queen's nest is a required building. The broodling research costs the same as the siege mode. HOWEVER, the queen is only good at countering the tank whereas the tank counters everything on the ground, making it much more cost effecive for the terran

  • Terran was a noob, he didnt drop one mule that whole time. NEXT!

  • What is the link of the starcraft balances

  • 9:20 noooo :(

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

  • broodwars dead

  • @tli3693 fuck no lol

  • is sc1 that good???? i seem to be enjoying sc2 never played 1

  • @Ragnarosofdarkness broodwar is wayyyy better imo and wayyy harder to be the best

  • @stoneheart92 If being the best is in relation to other players, I think it would be harder to be the best in SC2, since there are more people playing it.

  • @Ragnarosofdarkness in korea it's still considered better than sc2

  • @Ragnarosofdarkness BW is the absolute best eSport, I will go out and state that it is the most entertaining spectator sport to watch...

  • Zerg is soooo cool!

  • two tanks going under a dark swarm and then seiging hydras=mindblownage; hey Starcraft 2, take out the watch towers and force a style of play where you need to constantly put forces in the middle of the map to control the game

  • MY GOD NOW THIS IS A STRATEGY GAME!

  • @coolcat2994 That's cause back then the game was balanced.

  • Goddammit when I enlarge the fucking video it goes blank. You Tube fix your shit.

  • guys HD is still casting BW games, quit bitching about him saying "old days" jesus. BW is an OLD game, so be happy there are still BW games being casted!! and great ones too

  • I really love starcraft but it absolutely makes no fun when youre all alone playing and enjoying it. Keep up the BW stuff HD you were the one to get me into SC and so will you be the only caster i follow from now...

  • More Broodwar indeed! HD Please :D

  • OMG! Brood war is the craziest game I've ever seen. More than seven bases, non-stop action in multiple places at once, spells that one-shot-kill units AND summon more units... That looks totally crazy. SC2 seems like a child's game if we compare.

  • @llToLYll Remember how long BW has been out. I think SC2 will get there one day. We still have 2 public expansions (HotS and LotV) to get through. After all that I think SC2 has the potential to be just as dynamic.

  • @llToLYll keep in mind this is one game, and that there have been sc2 games that are similar to this

  • @llToLYll Broodwar is an expansion, there will be 2 for SC2 and hopefully, new units that were used in single player (and more) will be integrated into the game. Games in SC2 seem built to end quicker, I'll give you that, but players are still figuring out the gameplay strategies, Broodwar has pretty set strategies after years of trial and error, imo. Both make me happy. :)

  • @PlayaGuitar Well, I wasn't really into Starcraft until sc2 came out. I had played the campaigns of Brood War but that's all. I was a Warcraft 3 player, so I didn't understand Brood War quite well. Now that I'm a sc2 player I realize the beauty of Brood war.

    SC2 is still a young game. I guess that's what makes BW look more awesome to someone who has never seen competitive BW (like me). However, who knows if sc2 will come up being better than BW after some years?

  • @llToLYll lol @ kids who never played brood war. i'm like 24 and im considered a kid, but you kids.. damn you're young. y'all got the shitty over-hyped garbage remakes of what started the essence of the gaming industry.

    Halo/COD/Modern Warfare -- shitty dumbed down version of quake3 and Q4

    starcraft 2 -- sc1 with HORRIBLE graphics

    megaman x maverick hunters also horrendous version of megaman x1. just the whole idea of improving graphics by overclocking the graphics cards is counter-intuitive.

  • @katsumorymoto I just couldnt play in bnet because my sc1 was pirated, and garena guys owned me hard.

    About the graphics, yeah, the game industries want to sell us realistic graphics, and i think that's a mistake, because it gets so weird and... i dont know, unreal.

    I don't like being called a kid. I still love the retro games (WAY more retro than the ones you mentioned) like Monkey Island, Loom, Dune... and however, i play the new games too, because the gaming industry evolves.

  • @llToLYll i remember playing all those games on one of my older brother's computer and watching him play some of them (when they were considered new releases).

    there was definitely a lot more creativity that went into things back then. breaking the 4th wall so to speak was almost a requirement to help keep the player interested. it almost felt like each game was a living person instead of a carefully calculated permutation of an expected sales demographic for a very specific genre.

  • @llToLYll why would you pirate, I got sc1+broodwar collectors addition for like $10

  • @ThemisteclesOfAthens Well, I thought it was impossible to find it on stores nowadays. Silly me.

  • @llToLYll that was about a year ago, was there last week(gamestop) and it's 9.99

  • @llToLYll So you are 12yo?

  • @llToLYll There a reason why Starcraft Broodwar is still existing after like 13 years..... This is 1999 game. I have sc2, but its just, people dont know broodwar, therefore play sc2. if u get good at broodwar, its so much fun....

  • moar

  • @rkmi stfu and get on ur knees

  • @macronewb im assuming he went more mech vs the queen lings and lurkers then zerg switched to heavy hydra and terren didn't have infrastructure to build bio

  • 18:05 HD forgot that there are no brood lords in broodwar :3 LOL

  • @romas011 or vikings! haha

  • BW is the best game ever made. Hands down.

  • Why doesn't terran just go mass mm with a ton of sci vessels? that was always effective.

  • awesome

  • that was an awesome game

  • I wish the hydralisk was this good in sc2. T.T

  • Comment removed

  • @246trinitrotoluene

    that's exactly what i'm talking about, broodwar was a pain to play making it that much more competetive because there was such a high skill seiling, nevertheless did i quit brood war aswell but stillXD

  • @rkmi its HDstarcraft, not HDstarcraft2.

  • Comment removed

  • lol mine at 6:32

  • Comment removed

  • I played a lot of BW, but it is SC2 time! People should move or live in a museum XD

  • @brunosfsantos a good game is a good game. who cares if there is a sequel? i say play both!

  • Noob.

  • Dude shut up you say old days in bw as if BW is dead IT IS NOT and people like you that are supposedly fans are just retards that disregard one of the greatest games ever made as if it is exiled. This is the last time I watch a vod of yours I am sick of watching this shit from an idiotic Azian that doesn't know shit about BW and how its doing nowadays.

  • I love that Ron Paul advertisement. seriously

  • lulz @ terran.. hahahaha

  • AWESOME!!! this is a bomb like infested terrans

  • BW has way better music

  • wow :O that is a sick sick game holy...very creative and such great control

  • u cant brood every ground unit... sigh not even 1:30 in and hd fucks it

  • yes guys, hydras is good vs mech, but gets annihalated by tanks. Thats why pros go ultra ling defiler + air, because normally terrans get mass tank if u go mass hydras.

  • why you keep talking like "back in the days"???? BROODWAR IS STILL ALIVE !

  • @tymyor Also known as iccup ;]

  • @tymyor

    So's Everquest, but who talks about EQ anymore?

    BW had it's time in the sun. Now it's time to make way for HotS.

  • @tymyor people still do 2v2s on there and stuff? i'd love to get back into it

  • @tymyor Yet there is no place for me (as a noob) to play SC:BW. I hear iccup is good. tried it - only Russians and only good players. TT

  • swarm seems so imbalanced

  • @ElectroiceSC trick is it isn't ;)

  • Brood War looks like so much fun to play, but whenever i try to play it i just fail in every way so i end up going back to SC2 =P

  • I pee'd when all the tanks went down to broodlings

  • ultras melt vs mech, hydras are the counter to mech

  • @pajstie Oh. Then i suppose that you will miss all of the SC2 videos HD is gonna put up after he is done with BW. :/

  • Dude, Hydras are what you are meant to use against mech, additionally Queens have been used quite a few times vs T in the Korean pro scene, Zero has used them quite a few times I think.

  • More Broodwar!!!

  • Everything sounds much better in Starcraft 1 and BW, further proof that Blizzard rushed it with Starcraft 2.

  • @Plihtari 9 years later is rushing? They had plenty of time, but they were focused more on balance and units. Be honest, if you wanted them to focus on one more than the other, I'd say gameplay trumps all.

  • 'sup sup Dark Swarm, no skill required \o/

  • @Allskil88 As much as Sieging the Tanks, I would say...

  • I have to say this really brings back the memories..

  • was there a time limit with the broodings?

  • I wish our terran player remembered to upgrade to 3/3 insted of 2/3 :O That could of made a huge difference for his mech army.

  • God save the Queen.

  • Comment removed

  • what is this lego kiddie game?

  • @bennybear13 faggot

  • Broodwar music <3

  • Come to my channel please:)

  • MORE BW PLZ!! :)

  • Queens are rarely used, yes. But if you've never seen Jaedong using queens (ensnare) vs. Terran bio, then you owe it to yourself.

  • aha I tried pressing Exit Replay at the end

  • that akward moment when ur playing SC2 and thinking about SC1

  • Ah, the days when Hydras were actually useful. <3

  • The good times. Just reminded me how much more skill is needed for BW than SC2.

  • queen are amazing against mech, lots of pros have started using them years ago

  • no inject larva? that would be awesome in sc2. zerg macro would be pritty easy tho :P

  • yay Zerg won!

  • PRAGUEEEEE

  • After watching hundreds of hours of BW and SCII, I have to say that BW is a better game for spectators. The music, pace and level of skill required from players is superior in BW. The graphics although very oldskool still are fine. 1080p is a little OTT tho lol

  • @danmanjones I agree completely. BW is more entertaining.

  • ahhh not ball vs ball

  • I miss the old music and sound effects haha

  • For the love of God HD, pronounce, "Irradiate" correctly!

    Every time I hear you say it wrong it's like nails on a chalkboard.

  • Broodwars in 1080p. LOL!

  • HD, you do realize that if u make wraith against queens, then Queens will slow them and scourges will eat them up for breakfast....

  • That queen play was wonderful. Only thing missing was a CC infest. That would have pushed the game from sick to epic.

  • I miss this, sc2 is just so much less awesome to watch =/

  • Sick BW indeed =)

  • This was incredible. BUT I STILL WANT A BW PVZ.

  • Comment removed

  • I HAD to study... Damn u HD

  • lol nice use of queens

  • Note, the spawn broodlings only works on bio units. For the purpose of this, tanks, goliaths, vultures, dragoons, and scvs are considered biological because there is a pilot inside. Protoss reavers and probes were purely mechanical and could not be spawn broodlinged.

  • I wished the zerg would of trolled thew terran by infesting one of the command centers

  • Mass planned riots ACTA

  • why didnt he just go roach/bling?

  • @Artemis0Maximus you're kidding right?

  • @minecrafter1995 Why would I be kidding? it would be much more effective than what he did. wut a noob.

  • @Artemis0Maximus those units weren't in bw idiot. roach and banelings as well as a crapton of other units you see nowadays were all new additions. so roach bling is pointless unless he hacks them in but that would take a few hours

  • @minecrafter1995 Dont call me an idiot, minecrafter1995. You know nothing of brood war. go back to playing minecraft.

  • @Artemis0Maximus i played brood war for 6 years and you gotta problem with minecraft? lol look up brood war unit list . i dare you

  • @minecrafter1995 I played brood war for quite some time and I can assure you those units were there.

  • @Artemis0Maximus

    Not sure if trolling...

    Or just stupid...

  • @XxCalypsoxX616 One of those choices is correct.

  • @Artemis0Maximus im going to go with the latter of the two

  • @minecrafter1995 You keep thinking that, minecrafter1995. 

  • Watching a video like this feels so much more entertaining than SC2 videos because its a nice slower pace and feels much more thrilling to watch the power struggle. Does anyone think it may be because of how pathing / control groups worked back then? Because APM was managed so much more on macro? Also, I'm sure back then it was a lot more devastating to lose workers, but on sc2, its just so overdone and much easier to harass.

  • @Sheam5523 infinite unit selection in SC2 has a lot to do with it.

  • @Sheam5523 People with weak computers usually have all that to say and more. So creative!

  • @Sheam5523 you fucking hipster.

  • @Sheam5523 i think it also has to do with the optimization of resources. in a 1v1 in sc2, you wont see this many bases. in sc1 one needs to have many more bases for steady income, which prolongs the game with much more skirmishes

  • @Sheam5523 Worse unit pathing, bad unit bathing with workers and inability to rally, no mules/chronoboosts for additional workers, slower mineral harvesting rate (despite being 8 per harvest, rather than 5 in SC2)

    It all piles up into smaller armies, fewer engagements, and more dependance on macro and micro than SC2 where the harvesting amounts are larger and you can just spam units and attack+click to compensate.

  • back when hydras were actually useful D:

  • Great game, and btw, to those who are confused as to what unit is either bio or mech, if the unit is a vehicle, and you can see the pilot on the portrait (ex. Siege Tanks) its considered both mech and bio, but if the unit itself is in the portrait (eg. Protoss Reaver), the unit is pure mech.

  • @EduESliP Siege tanks are not considered bio bro

  • @TooDumTooLive for the purposes of queen useage they are.

  • crazy... no brood lords.. lol

  • ACTUALLY IF HE CAN BREAK THIS TANK CONTAIN *looks at 6 sieges* noooo.....

  • untra and brood lords? nonono, wrong, no brood lord in sc1
