StarCraft 2 - SC259 - Crota (P) vs Wrocek (P) on Scrap Station

[MonsterSlayer14]

that was quick

[piggynuts]

nice build. nice DT trap too ! ! ! brilliant.

[xtAoGx]

nice

[hereinsertname]

Oh my god Crota "I saw them in my mind and trapped them" that is some serious ninja-ass shit. Crota= god of StarCraft.

[SD6552]

@ 2:24 crota admits he's a noob xD

[Mojothang]

Sentires really bolster the early protoss army. Although it's hard to visually see what guardian shield does, the increase in survivability is dramatic.

Build sentires.... Great advice for any early protoss player. (Plus it gives me an excuse to go early dual assimilators)

[highwayblowout]

I like the second pylon position.

[Telekenesis123]

Crota's a pimp.

[RichyRichy]

Very nice gameplay. I never thought of the math of the game really. Good job; keep it up!

[StarCraftTwoGameplay]

Hey I really love this game. The exciting parts never ends. My video is pretty cool guys. Think you should check it out:)

[TheLolgodlol]

Your voice sounds robot-like. I loved your game, btw.

[chilord23]

wow pwned i loved the forcefeilds stopping the DTs very creative thing to do

[GuizhongLin]

Thanks for the upload. As a Toss player, that proxy pylon location in this map will come in handy :)

[thepixellated]

Really good game Crota! Blocking DTs with Forcefields was pure genius. You should cast more of your ownn games.

[Wrestlerstcc]

In fairness your opponent spent way to much on tech. He can also use stalker/sentry against you. Your zealots wont be able to attack at all.

[Machdude]

Except that he went for a 4 gate push. If you play defensively, YES you can defend yourself, but a 4 gate push tends to lose a lot from the constant pressure from a standard build. Since his opponent didn't catch onto what he was doing, he thought that he could go for a DT rush which failed spectacularly.

[GamerIsI]

Just a question: What is the eye thing that usually appear on detector units and buildings that appears to be a research in the cybernetics core just above the warp gate research?

[generalj]

@GamerIsI Hallucination; it's a Sentry ability. wiki.teamliquid(dot)net/starcr­aft2/Hallucination

[RandomFlyingTaco]

@GamerIsI I believe that is to research the hallucination ability for the sentry.

[Gaiden325]

damn impressive Crota, well done.

[gatoman46]

man, youre like a really great protoss stategic general, nicely done crota :)

[iamscythe]

Go CROTA !!

[SludgFactory]

Great gameplay Crota, nice to see new protoss tactics.

[DillonShampson]

Your games are the best

[virusavatar]

Amazing... never thought of blocking DTs with forcefields... You the man Crota!

[sean6201]

great game! sentries are such cute little buggers<3

[100089295]

Your little math equation does make sense however it completely disregards Micro (stalkers kiting zealots) and unit counters.

[electrostatic1]

@100089295 actually, very hard to kite zealots with that many guardian shields before blink

[BlizShouter]

@100089295 You can generally stop Kiting by using forcefields from the Sentry. It does wonders.

[PrinzMegahertz]

Well played. Nice micro. Great comments!

[dadAd0u]

Great job Sir. that was smart play withs dts

[hotuckfai]

well play :)

[vivid1valor]

You played the 4 gate well, but he failed hard with his build. =/

[spanthrax]

wth is up with noobs calling it a food count. its supply not food.

[GetTheGr33n]

@spanthrax

those "noobs" have been playing wc3 for years (and therefore got used to calling supply food)

you might not want to call them noobs... wc3 is all about small army micro and they'd pwn your ass in sc2 any day ;)

[mystrdat]

very well played crota

[maxizaxi]

Awesome game!

[Frejborg]

Love seein' games of you playin' Crota: more!! I like the sentry zealot combo, nice idea.

[warlockskz]

That was a great use of force field.

[cornwelj]

still popping from your mic btw Crota.

[lilphillio]

why dont you cb your warpgate tech? i think you couldve pushed out a little earlier with it

[SirSemen]

Thumbs up, baby!

[jakii67]

I think you should mention to "thumb up" your videos and tell people what your link is at the end or beginning of your video. I noticed this video - because you mentioned to ""thumb up the video" at the end- has a LOT of thumbs up. Like 5 videos back only had about 85 thumbs up.

P.S. I thumbed it up too. (:

[stew918]

Those two forcefields to deal with the DT was a pretty nice move. Its cool to see some of your games, Crota. Nice job.

[mattrb1701]

Nice tutorial. The levels are sounding much better now (aside from the popping).

[ellefsoneric]

2 stalkers v 2 lots without charge and 1 sentry, the stalkers will win quite easily.

the best protoss v protoss build is 1 base 3 gate robo. enough sentries to initially trap their army,a limited amount of stalkers in the army will kill whatever air they have produced, 2 or 3 immortals to snipe stalkers, and a push at around 70 food which is right before they can start massing air or produce h-templars. dt's are also countered by the initial observer.

[protobrv]

nice force field

[MANSOURI09]

@protobrv Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say that in front of me. Wont happen though, just an internet tough guy.

[bernifreeride]

crota,u should think about switching races :-) I really like your well calculated protoss build! I wanna see more protoss play by you

[Susanmugen]

Awesome game crota! Great job!

[Machdude]

I think the reason why he lost here was because he was going straight for DT but you could get the 4 gate push up a bit faster so it was a great counter strategy for this.

[hansdoreen]

NICE GAME :D

[lllevokelll]

The use of forcefields to trap the seeming invisible dark templars was really really good. Kudos.

[AttackOfTheRRat]

great game...and nice 4 gate =D

[ZombieKingKong]

Perfectly executed, and you didn't go all or nothing, you had already expanded, and beamed in more units, way to go Crota.

[impmon12345]

I'd like to see you use a Dark Zealot build sometime in the future.

[jdseemoreglass]

GOOD NEWS!

Blizzard recently released a Situation Report for their coming 1.1 Patch, and it includes the long-anticipated nerfs to Terran!

Seige tanks, reapers, battlecruisers, and bunkers all being nerfed.

Also zealots and warpgates nerfed slightly.

us battle net/sc2/en/blog/692221#blog

[GizmoMofo7]

@jdseemoreglass that ain't good news, they haven't nerfed marauders

[GoldenZealot21]

@jdseemoreglass

Marauders and Ghosts are the things that need to be nerfed...

[jdseemoreglass]

@GoldenZealot21 Quit whining protoss players, your race is just fine....

[GoldenZealot21]

@jdseemoreglass

I also play Terran. The Ghost EMP is a no skill ability. I've neutered ~10 HTs with a few Ghosts quite a few times, not to mention I don't remember that Stim has priority so you have to select the Ghosts alone. Noob Terran taking on 900+ Diamond P and defeating them with 1-2 EMPs :3. Sounds great.

I'll be laughing my ass off when you cry once Marauders and Ghosts are fixed up, because wow, I laugh so hard how much better my TvP gets than my PvT with those two units.

[jdseemoreglass]

@GoldenZealot21 I play zerg so I don't care either way. But PvT is just fine. They had EMP in SC1 to kill shields and templar energy, and that game was fine too.

[GoldenZealot21]

@jdseemoreglass

Err... you didn't need Templars in PvT BW. Don't compare the 2 games, noob.

[GoldenZealot21]

And oh, I almost forgot, you play Zerg and you don't care? Then you just say PvT is fine out of the blue? Zerg players whine and when asked why, they have no reason. If you didn't Fast expand every game and built Roaches, you could hold off early mech pushes decently. Meanwhile Protoss has to play 1 base defensively with 10x the micro of the Terran until they get TwiCoun or even Templar tech.

[Joesterisk]

@GoldenZealot21 you can select your whole ball of units then hit "tab" and it cycles to ghost =)

[GoldenZealot21]

@Joesterisk

Or you can just hotkey the Ghosts as "2". Then you press E and aim even half-shittily at the Protoss army where most/all the HTs are. With that huge radius of 2, it will wipe out the shields and energy of tons of units. Either way, doesn't take any skill :/. Ghosts need a nerf bad.

[SuperVeetz]

i mean.. dont all protoss get their 2nd gas half way through their cybercore if they want to get any sentrys at all? so he could have easily gone 4 gate too?

[MarcDaKind]

Did u know im way cooler then u guys? Cus i like cheescake!!! fu

[CALIFORN1ASUPERSTAR]

I LIKE HOW U KNEW HE WAS GOING TO TECH BECAUSE OF THE DOUBLE GAS...VERY SMART!!

[knockoutpill]

Great casting as always Crota! Keep up the good work.

My favorites are when you cast your own games.

[mmmmchildren]

I like it when you cast your own games.

[SuperHeroR]

Crota, this is why I absolutely love your videos. You have GREAT strategy and insight. I agree with you with the Stalkers versus Zealots and Sentries thing, it's much better to have more when you do a 4 gate push.

[SasukeNathan]

Ya those force fields wr great

[DevilsTreasure]

Nice job with the haxx force fields. Pro micro right there.

[kb27787]

Beeeeeeaaaaaaaautiful force fields trapping those DT's! brilliant!

[gorthorki]

This was not a war of attrition... more likely a rape.

[Cheeseball007ftw]

i played a PvP mirror and went zealot-sentry, and i did get beat by stalker/immortals. He asked why i kept warping in zealots (he was diamond)... are you not supposed to counter immortals/stalkers with z/s?

[Tobias1Haan]

could there even be a way for me to play with someone from the american servers (I'm on the european) ?

[rfe777]

Good game Crota. Still, I don't understand why does this shimmer exist? either a unit is cloaked or not, either you see it or you don't. That's just plain stupid.

[MathiasE80]

@rfe777 well they are cloaked not invisible :P

[muuraa1]

@Blizshouter at what supply do you get your 2nd gas on a 4-gate rush?

[samson915067]

WoW Crota, I thought you only know how to play Terran! Really good Micro and those force fields placements!

[infango]

kolega z wrocka ?

[yaerius]

@infango też o tym pomyślałem :)

[acanx702]

i bet that guy was super nervous, but that wasnt even a legit 1v1 strat =/ on his part

[Munky332]

any chance we could get links to the replays?

[DarkXxXNightmare]

"i have a feeling ur going void rays" LOL... He saw you last video xD!

[Sidtreefish]

Dude, you blew my mind with the Sentry... O.O

[WallieTF]

never thought of the sentri vs dark templar, more of these Crota. Very intresting to see your games.

[ginemginem]

Wohoo, more of your games!

[ramSiii17]

@ginemginem Yes please, more of those!!

I enjoyed this much more than ur other shoutcast.

You describe ur own thoughts, which makes the whole alot more special than just 'normal' shoutcasts

[ruinawish]

Is the volume still slightly low?

[dns15r]

will this work if he wall in and shoot and went with perhaps the same amount of resource stalkers?

[ainxty]

Good video, too bad most PvP games start and end with a 2gate proxy or korean 4gate =/

[zach630z]

Awesome game. Nice force field usage. Good FF placement always makes me smile. =]

[vastdesertfox]

he teched too quick Very good game.

[flyfaiz]

nice =P

[uchihasasuke7777]

Nice game, good push and nice army composition.

[SimonFanTV]

Nice!!!!
