Zerg v Zerg, A Plague on Both of Your Houses

[Rambuzzle]

Title's a reference to Romeo and Juliet lol

[RisenFromAshes427]

Romeo and Juliet reference?

[MrRobocop12]

ahhh plaguuuuuu. playguuuu

[Youngredfield]

PLAYGUUUUUUU!?



[dh144498]

lol the first clip was hilarious those hydras just dying xD

[Relurek]

... ... ... PLAYGU!

[brainwasher9876]

this was how ZvZ should have been played, ideally. Nowadays it's only mutaling.

[KrnBenjamin]

WHO WON?!

[KrnBenjamin]

omg get a korean commentator in here

[BurnDadah]

low > bgh and that purple is a big noob for running into the lurkers without reveal...

[ericnrivers]

@BurnDadah this was a pro game...

[BurnDadah]

@ericnrivers oh... and silly me always thought "pro game" means all players are pro...

[ericnrivers]

@BurnDadah i didn't mean that they are all pro. sorry for the misleading. :(. I just meant that if a player is good enough to be in the pro games, even if he/she ain't pro, that person is still good enough to be a good player. Purp prolly just didnt notice since the enemy was already attacking him.

[ceridan01]

I miss cholera

[porkypine745]

I love his commentary.

[CarlosAvilla]

Ha! you'll maybe be as good as a korean commentator in 20 years if you practise a lot till then ^^

you're like, "ohh my god, yeah, a plague, look at that." ...

PLAYGUPLAYGUPLAYGUPLAYGUPLAYGU­PLAYGUPLAYGUPLAYGUPLAYGUPLAYGU AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

[Fetcha200]

damn i wish i could play like that.

I'm a terran player, can anyone teach me how to play?

I play on east.

Fyro.

[jokacho]

I always wonder if two simultaneous plague casts damage the same as doing those plagues one after the other.

[Zidana123]

@jokacho You cannot apply a new plague on a plagued unit until the old plague has fallen off, so it would only do 300 damage.

[aimthailaxu]

not enough playguuu

[d3fil]

"shaozee"

:\

[ChubbyChiBee]

late game zvz :\

[LeftyHangsLower]

Nice Romeo and Juliet reference.

[TheXeroSkill]

Most intense ZvZ ever

[Neptune513]

Who won )=

[Kleavers]

Is hold Lurkers still an allowed strategy in official competition? I assume it is, but I just rarely see it being used even though it seems like a good strategy.

[Glioburd]

Spam stop button is allowed. But pick your opponent as "ally" in diplomacy is forbidden. (So ally mine is forbiden).

[Nondo]

@Glioburd No one does "Spam stop buttons". What's being done is the lurkers are being told to attack a building that is not in sight. For example, if you make your lurkers attack an enemy building that's not in sight (meaning, that you know the building is there, but it's in fog), that makes the lurkers attempt to attack the building, but because they can't move, they can't attack, and they can't being an attack animation towards something they can't reach, so they just stop.

[final650]

@Kleavers cause like zvz is short with only mutalist and barely see lurks in zvz...

tvz terrans barely push out.. they push out like wen they get their vessels out...

and same for zvp obs and lurks dont 1 shot protos units like marines :))

[sC2iscoming]

I call whites pro

[rapaicruma]

Not bringing overlords... He deserved those lurkers.

[DaFunnyThief]

shit =/ ZvZ is intense

[Ruo94]

ZvZ late game ftw =D

[andthatsforthewin]

Longcat wins every time.

[KillerCheebo]

satanik c+ rated noob

[pcrsweetness]

@KillerCheebo do you have a famous game on youtube? no? then shut up

[taxe0]

GEE GEE!!

[ILuvhFood]

LOL. If I could hear what the starcraft units were saying.... " AHHH PLAGYU GET IT OFF MEEEE" "LURKAHHH HOLD LURAKKKAHH"

[Warcraftian93]

just from this video alone I may sub this guy "there's Hydralisk blood everywhere"!

[LulzCC]

00:16 Needs moar screaming

[xx765]

Xiaozi is Chinese right?

[TasteRasengan]

Yeah, it means "Little guy" or "little dude"

[jamvng]

ZvZ like nvr gets tht far nowadays...

[UnrealFreak354]

haha! Plague and Splash Damage two of my favorite things in StarCraft XD

O hai Brainwasher :D

[Pkpure930]

That guy needs to be Korean. Lolz

[qianweijia1]

cholera's APM when the plague goes off = 800 :O

[Lunkan164]

haha i was thinking the same thing! you can see when cholera is excited, the mouse is all over the screen trying to mark units :D. but nontheless thanks for uploading and good commentary :)

[brainwasher9876]

YAAAHHHH PLAGU!!!!!

[BrokenVendingMachine]

Quite an unorthodox ZvZ. Usually it's just Zerglings into Mutalisk. How long ago was this? Why was Hydras used and why the Zerg/Muta now?

[SahunHongPiano]

Great Shakespeare reference ^^

[Shlunty]

PLAGUEEEEE ! PLAGUEEE ! HUUUUUUUUUUGE PLAAAAAAAAAGGGGGUUUEE ! ! ! ! ! ! i lost it when he yelled huge plague omg 1:55 ish

[hatecryme]

haha love the first bit commentary:

"these lurkers are omg the lurkers LURKER LURKERS AAARRGHH LURKERS!! I LOVE LURKERS!"

hahaha

[FrigoCoder]

"hold lurkers"

[gnahzdivad]

PLAYYY GUUUUU!!! Omg PLAYGUUU!

[Da1337ed]

shakespeare pun in the title

[tremapar]

is there a link to the full game?

or at least could someone say where to download it?

[CholeraSC]

it's in my account - search it up by the players' names.

[GGfaggot]

lol k newb, lets hear your commentary. cholera has given more to the sc community than you could ever dream of.

[musicalbasics]

it's not hard to do commentary....

[ermaduk]

u just called the best and most entertaining starcraft commentator horrible. not that's a horrible call :)

[CameramanJumJum]

i dont think hes very good, and best and most entertaining starcraft commentator? what about tasteless or superdanielman? or artosis? they are alot better... maybe this guy has given alot to the starcraft community but i really dont like him as a commentator.

[brainwasher9876]

oh. then why are you watching this video?

[iccupBeasTy]

it shouldn't last that long unless they botht are to passive

[r4j2iLL]

strange zerg game... normally it ends 2 mins after the spire is out ;D

[DeSTRoYeR992]

bad wording on my part, i meant hes not enthusuistic but acts like it. but uhh, thanks for uploading anyways? :S

[Maplebangeek]

how many zvz games actually go this late in tech?

[kanpuchi]

less then 1% :P

[SeoWut]

i know right? usually zvz are hella fast.

[Da1337ed]

well they're foreigners

[Quincy0047]

Mutalisk versus longcat! xD I love the picture at the end

[treehousemiso]

noob plays

[TraumaRabbit]

those red and purple mutas look badass

[DeSTRoYeR992]

i dotn like this commentator lol

[DeSTRoYeR992]

lol im sorry i just like klazart more.. this guy is too.... into it but not really.. he acts like hes excited.. and hes really not at all. if you're not excited man, just dont act like it, it kinda of annoying lol

[rorcon]

what are you talking about? klazart's definitely the more annoying commentator.

[Firestonezz]

im a big fan of Klazart too, i like all the commentators. Anyway, sorry my first comment was so rude.

[DeSTRoYeR992]

all cool

[slyguy33945]

who won?

[Imagination59]

looks like a good match could u like tell me where to get replay??

[Endelite]

Allied mines don't even cost a cent of gas...

1 lurker costs 125 minerals & 125 gas.

That's another reason allied mines are illegal.

I can't believe that a zerg using such a large, non-standard force (with masses of hydra & devourer defence against air) wouldn't bring a single overlord. That's just far too much of a risk.

If a ZvZ match somehow goes on for so long, of course there's a chance the opponent would invest in lurkers.

[Firestonezz]

allied mines are illegal because of the fact that ur simply ALLYING urself to the opponent, which is illegal in pro tournaments. At least thats what i heard.

[steffen010]

STOP SAYING LURKEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS! please thanks..^^

[TheatreHead]

how the hell does a zvz last for 50 minutes?

[BoywondeR338]

lol not sure, most pro zvz's ive seen ended with mutaling vs mutaling

seeing this escalate into defilers and hive units as you've seen is ridiculous

[TheatreHead]

yeah, that's what i was thinking. Pretty much every tutorial that I've seen on zvz said that it should end in mutaling, and every single zvz game I've played has ended with mutaling.

or just 4 pool T_T

they must have both done something ridiculous like 3 hatch or something.

[ManicRevelation]

I wish this was commented by the Korean SC fanatics...

PLAAAAGUUUUE!!!

[deathgod6q3]

You mean the MBC Game commentators? :P They would be the highlight of this game.

[talic864]

who said the zerg was purple it was red all over man.

[MamiyaOtaru]

/breathless mode on

and now this happens and now this happens and now this happens that was amazing

[orochimaruisugly]

PLAAAAAAAGUEEEEEEEEE

[feldagan]

stop lurkers are deadly as hell, but aren't quite as cool as allied mines.... but its really the same concept... its just mines are quicker to tech too, thats why its illegal =\

[KolYma89]

how in the hell did a zvz get to that late of a game lol.

[SCWarkos]

Epic ZvsZ.

Stop Luckers means you take Luckers with another units, let's said Overload, then you make them Hold position, the Luckers wont attack utils you order, it's a very nice trap, 2 hold Luckers can eat a squad of marines..

[SiouxTube]

This game was highly entertaining but, yeah, if things were played like the Koreans it would've been maybe half the video time or less.

I do enjoy a long game though.

[DeeStylistic]

This commentator fucking sucks. I'd rather listen to the Korean ones even if I can't understand shit. HYDWALISK BLOOD EVERYWHAR?!?

[babyfran05]

never seen a zvz like that. and longcat ftw.

[RyotSC]

Beautiful! If only all ZvZs could be that epic ;)

[ZergFireX]

Man, post-mutalisk ZvZ is the BEST MATCHUP.

[johnnymac9292]

i dont think i could ever do something like that...thats just nuts

[lightswarm124]

lol a late zvz

[ddcat1987]

wow. late game of zvz owns!

[Jakiwiu]

amazing stop lurk

[shutyourmouth2]

What is a stop lurk?

[Jakiwiu]

0:15

the lurkers are in stop mode waiting the atk to do more damage

[shutyourmouth2]

So, do you have to continuously tell the lurkers to stop so they don't attack, or is there an easier way to do it?

[Jakiwiu]

I don't know :S

[BlackMagister]

Actually no that's not how you do stop lurkers. Technically pressing S is one way to do it, but it's not practical in a game where you have to multi task.

There are tricks to doing it. One way is to have the lurker attack a building in the fog of war and out of range like a scouted enemy Hatchery really far away.

I think it also works by grouping it with an overlord and pressing hold position.

[BlackMagister]

Doing one of these tricks stops the lurker from attacking. Then all you have to do is press S so they'll cancel the previous command that they were unable to do like hold position or attacking something in the fog.

[shutyourmouth2]

Wow! Thanks for the tips. It's soo much easier that way, and I'll be sure to do that.

The overlord thing does work, BTW.

[Vballer73]

wen u press stop over and over agian so the lurker doesnt attack..

anyone else annoyed by this stupid commentator??

[Scr3amingN1nja47]

no, it's just you

[lumix555]

what were those purple thacks that stuck to the units? is this an expansion of SC?

[C3nsuRED]

plague + mutalisks with their "splash" damage = pwnage... too bad that ZvZ is usually so short that you dont see this combination often

[djYngin]

HUUUUUGE PLAGUE!! That is so Klazart to say, tho you pulled it off nicely :)

[iamjacksrevenge]

Sometimes I wish korean pros weren´t quite as perfect at their game, so we could se some longer, sloppier games like this one. It was definitely awesome to behold. I didn´t think I could watch a 50 min. game in its entirety, but I was glued to the screen. ZvZ rules, and Cholera rules.

*Shakes fist* A plague on both your houses!

[thundasc]

genius!

you rock cholera this is fav'd!

[nesquick1256]

man this make me want to see more pro games go into the late game for zerg

[pandemik1755]

awesome song, awesome highlights.

[wormspwn]

Absolute pwnage.

[EvilArcherDude]

Song: Zero.

Artist: Smashing Pumpkin.

[BlackMagister]

The part where he used Dark Swarm over the drones to protect them was my favorite. "Business as usual" even with death flying right above them.

[wormite]

the plagues was wonderful, but I think the difference between "foreign player" and Korean players is: In the stopped lurker case and guardian case, they will retreat, because they know that even they stick to it, the damage they can do is still very small, especially the stopped lurker case, hydralisks can definitely get back because they have much more hp than M&M.

[joebmaster]

These were foreigners playing...

[iamian1987]

That is why he is saying that if they were koreans they would have the reaction time to pull the hydralisks away once they noticed the stop lurkers. Like how people dance away from psionic storm with hydras.

[Teis88]

THIS IS WHY WE LOVE STARCRAFT

[bryanep]

awesome putting this together, lol after watching ur commentary i was gonna do this, u saved me alot of work :)

[rlsoccer101]

this was one of my favorite games of all time. great play on both sides

[CaptainWaffles]

Lol, nice.

[ZkilfinG2]

Wow. That was some epic scale plagues!
