[CameronRounder]

5:53 husky is obsessed with idra

[pearlipop]

Haha I joke, I would've liked it obviously. But that annotation was beyond adorable.

[pearlipop]

aww that little annotation at the beginning! It sounds so cute lol " it took 8 hours to upload, it takes 8 secs to like, just sayin <3". Thanks annotation, without you, I may have never liked this video.

[Greylin91]

H TO THE USKY HUSKY



[sarahinferno1]

8 hours to upload? wtf? how did it take that long husky? I am giving you a thumbs up yo~

[LooseReviews]

Hey wait a minute, wasn't this part of a StarCraft Invitational (Hosted by TotalBiscuit)? This game seems extremely familiar...

[CamTroid]

i want to pass on a starcraft with carriers to my kids! CARRIERS IN STARCRAFT 4!!

[tomk887]

that was ridculus, zerg should have kept going curroptors and added mutas in the mix n hit trading army, instead of useless hydra

[IsenseaStarcraft]

87 people are Idra

[OrderOfHammer]

Did husky played sc1? Because he so wrong in many ways. 1. You could select multibulding.2. And you can relay on mineral line, but problem was with Z where main base is also unit production baracks so you cant relay on min field it would hard to get units not geting out probs..

[3zzee]

this video is best to watch when drunk

[Randompking]

ur funny. uking on house = no unit production

WTF whitera, that was horrible... your micro is so bad lol

[omnibahamut]

TLO "Secret Tech"

[iliketha]

lmao @ the skittles analogy

[BloodskullMannoroth]

Good game, both sides looked like they were certain to win at various points.

[zasien]

@BloodskullMannoroth sorry but zerg had it in the bag, just did a bad bronze league move by going hydras and not useing all the broodlords when he should of

[EX1S7ENCE]

27:45 That's the most epic thing I've ever seen!!

[macyisacat]

lol cnn

[combatmagic]

THIS WAS SO FUCKING EPIC OMG!! :O omg

[dkast5]

Lumen let Whitera remax instead of pushing. Bad bad bad.

[MrAdonis258]

really good game... lumen manage to bring a good fight, and as expected from whitera

[cutezergling1]

NO REMOVING CARRIER!

[giggityguy]

that win was so epic that my brain exploded

[XxsniperzxxX]

carriers a re op ass fuck!

[ryl417]

this is a very very very very very good match

[DrHannibalLecter1st]

what are all the spine crawlers good for? :-s

[russki111]

nostalgia

[grosfredy]

GET BACK TO THE HATCHERY

[grosfredy]

i cant wait for my grand childrens to play sc3

[HawaiianB0Y123]

wtf how could that zerg player play that any better?

[handsanitizer1]

@HawaiianB0Y123

more infestors less hydras when the voids and carrier spam showed up

[motorcycler11]

"You're going to be one sad panda.." HAHAHAHAH. God, I love you Husky.

[pklong88]

I dunno why zerg players don't build spore crawlers instead of spine crawlers and then cancel to free up supply? They're cheaper so you'll lost less. Has anyone actually tried this?

[Tommax25]

@pklong88 because they build a lot faster so you have less time to lay them all down and start making units. At the stage of the game where you do this you have so much money you wouldn't care about saving like 10 minerals per building anyway.

[hadders08]

Also in SC1 there was a limit to how many units you could select in a control group

[M1ke9876]

@hadders08 oh yeah, that was hell for a non-korean zerg player like me :(

[eend04]

@indigoPriest u watched the first team liquid ffa?XD



[huyked]

Ugh, stupid carrier interceptors. I'm glad they're getting rid of the carrier.

[Slluuusssshhhhhiiiii]

Mike? Psshhh.. I think you should leaglly change your name to Husky :3

[hoholollol12345]

The Zerg could have easily won if he hadn't crumbled so badly under the pressure.

[kotsospaok4]

the most epic game i have ever seen!!!!!!



[IndigoPriest]

wow i think this is the most epic game i have seen you cast yet. and i think i have seen most all of them. Whitera had some clutch toilet bowls and that mass cancel of zerg buildings was wow 220 supply just wow! great game.

[IndigoPriest]

rofl @ i did not explode in a giant pool of blood

[IndigoPriest]

rofl @ pukeing on your parents house will not increase unit production

[IndigoPriest]

they should make the hp of larva lower so a probe could kill it :)

[IndigoPriest]

@IndigoPriest they are larva after all, a probe should be able to 2 shot a larva

[u03mja3]

This was the most fun game i have ever seen!!

[pliosaurus]

mutas? You can tell he's confused

[supermassive87]

the dude was making a tonne of hydras and then mutas.... was anyone else shouting at the screen "GET AS MANY CORRUPTORS AS POSSS". i know corruptors are poor but they would have done alot better than the hydras and mutas

[cras17]

28:23 all the interceptors popping out of the vortex lol

[staphinfection]

This is such fucking bullshit... How are HYDRAS not the right unit to deal with air??? Corruptors FAIL too since Void rays CHARGE up on them and kill them just as fast as hydras...

Zerg are pitiful and so much more difficult to play.

[daarkshadow8]

@staphinfection HE SHUD OF MADE ZERGLINGS TO DEAL WITH THOSE AIR UNITS >:I

[Axiss360]

@staphinfection You bronze? Combat me bro.

[staphinfection]

NERF HYDRALISKS.

[staphinfection]

It's absurd that lately Zerg has to be 2+ bases ahead of opponents to have any chance at all, and even then, they have to do so much more annoying shit instead of being able to just focus on their micro during intense battles or constant pressure. If you start slipping up on all that ridiculous extra shit, you lose anyway... Hopefully the expansion evens some of this stuff out.

[Michael808hawaii]

When he said the dogs are barking my neighbors dogs was barking O.O

[JjangMigukin]

Your real name is Mike??? Holy shit, I've been listening to your casts so long I think I subconsciously believed that your name was actually Husky

[h5b12345]

@JjangMigukin if you dont know his real name is Mike, then you're not following his casts enough, just sayin

[gospelsos]

i understand that husky doesnt know the winner of these games but can u pro gamers send games that u dont win sometimes.... yea we know your good but come on how long do you think people are gonna watch u when all you show us are games u just win every time in. gets boring because when the zerg was winning i knew that in the end whitera would win because its a game he sent in...

[Karthig1987]

@gospelsos if i am not wrong didnt white ra lose one of these special tactics videos?

[Karthig1987]

@gospelsos lose in is what i meant to say

[Hchavis134]

@gospelsos WhiteRa loses some of these Special Tactics videos. And the games Husky plays, he loses some of those too.

[24haseo]

lumen you did well i think this was your game at one point

[tbliu42]

:O My mind just got raped :O

[ejzojeden]

husky I'm 25 and I feel old when I'm istening to this

I was 14 when played st 1

[pongsifu666]

@ejzojeden

I know what you mean, it has been so long I kind of forgot about some of the stuff we put up with back then. I thought I remembered having to manually put each worker on minerals, but chalked it up to being too stupid to know there is a rally, when evidently there never was one.

[MunchuMunchu]

06:54 "Fleet Bacon" Hehe :D

[Karthig1987]

whitera is playing in this video right not idra?i dont get the idra doesnt use robo comments

[Conoraus]

@Karthig1987 he misspeaks and accidentally says Idra

[Karthig1987]

@Conoraus o okay thnx man

[ProfessorFelton]

special tactics makes my day

[DrkShadow07]

Idra going a build that has no robo...lol

[yonotain]

@huskystarcraft question at the end of your cast: YES please! a TLO series would be great. i feel like TLO also uses tactics that are, shall we say, unique if not "special tactics". so you could call it 'shenanigans few' :)

[yonotain]

oops, Lion autocorrect doesn't know FTW! the series should be called "shenanigans FTW" not 'few' :p

[nerdra1]

the zerg just made way too many brood lords. WhiteRa had most of his army HP and DPS in air units.

[pingip192]

"I'm just saying" *Russell Brand styles*

[AbyssFromTheShadows]

White Ra beated Boxer o.O? Didnt know

[picabloo]

I'm actually kind of upset that the zerg didn't win that lol. Good Game though, very gg.

[ak3hiker]

Substitute Viper for WhiteRa and Goose for Lumen:

Wolfman: Holy shit, it's Viper!

Goose: Viper's up here, great...oh shit...

Maverick: Great, he's probably saying, "Holy shit, it's Maverick and Goose."

Goose: Yeah, I'm sure he's saying that.

[FalconX88]

wow, that fight! don't know how the zerg came out ahead but i need to study this^^

[TheDuncandragons]

Toobad the carrier has already been cut from HotS :(

[Milesthewarrior]

Good sportsmanship whitera!

[Big5ocks]

I'm pretty sure the probe rally to the gas was intentional. Once WhiteRa's expands all he has to do is select the stack of probes -1 then send them to mine and the fresh expansion. The result is ideal saturation and max mining time in the main ;)

[SHMIBLY]

Husky, I honestly hate your new setup...what exactly did it do?

[Ashmodai]

@SHMIBLY he went back to oregon for the holidays and he has an inferior headset there. it will be back to normal veeeery soon. :-)

[zzgsdcheng]

feel like whitera is going to save carrier, haha. THis game is awesome, and Thanks for the awesome cast !

[Knudthebrute]

actually one of the most entertaining matches ive seen. :D

[mandrewsf]

It's a Christmas miracle... It's the JesusRa!

[MrEcksDeah]

I'm in masters y can't I play whitera? Geez

[emarsc]

ah lumen. i was rooting for him the entire time. that was sad :(

[DarkAngelsKillAll]

The most special tactic of all time is WhiteRa himself

[Keeps49]

cleary should have built mass muta/ corruptor to win not hydras

[doxvr]

@Keeps49 ur a idiot what league r u silver LOL

[Keeps49]

@doxvr Im an idiot? lol what would you have done mass hydra like him? let me guess carriers are op theres nothing he could have done? whaaaaa.....Zerg was way ahead cleaning up his buildings he just needed to beat 1 mothership, and a few carriers he made like 30 hydras he could have built 15 corrupters and it would have been over not like whitera was going ground. btw im diamond wtf are u? let me guess gold lol...ur the dumbass

[doxvr]

@Keeps49 stfu u whiny kent i play toss i wasnt complaining about carrirs being OP go take a seat in the back u fuckn nub bronze player

[thedarkdream]

Eight probes, one cup!

[Zaddam78]

what kind of units will the parents produce? o.O

[Arik1989]

29:00 "I'm having doubts about my ability to kill this!" Lol!

[johnbradleychunk]

That was amazing!

[Kruttkuse]

5:56 Idra rarely goes builds with robo :)

[eran5005]

Special tactic: make your opponent choke under the pressure and make really bad decisions - works every time!

I'm guessing WhiteRa just played this one for funzies sake, but he was really lucky that Lumen went with such poor unit compositions towards the end.

[commanderoftheelite]

TLO - Random Tactics :D

[grumpybritishguy]

Ah you are a hero for your grand work husky. Your enthusiasm for the craft is inspirational my friend!

[xtianwenraey]

*kiss feet of whitera!

[ranmajason]

The LittleBig Tactics

[Godsent31613]

why you no go corruptors?

[Ectonym]

19:00 o.O

[darksoul45]

he built everyother unit but corruptors -,-

[Muzlibuck]

why no mass corruptor ? :(

[nightseeker226]

wow crazy.

(spoiler)

that was just insane. Can't believe whitera won the game with almost noting not even his main but his remaining resource and a fleet made from scratch against a zerg that have tons of building and resource and a large army that wiped out his main.

[MultiPooPu]

more special tactics

[Bwhaaa]

SPEEESHUL TUAKTUKS!

[AsianDuDeGuY]

damn. Lumen for mid-masters is damn good too. gogogogo WhiteRa!

[RedWolfCid]

lumen... you gosu son

[parkpatt]

this is fucking awesome.



[CAL1FORNIASUPERSTAR]

perhaps making carriers slightly smaller and slightly faster and slightly cheaper...and people would use them all the time!!

[ConnorHamilton94]

TLOhMyGod <<(GOD) tactics.

[skilletno1]

Yes you should call it TLO spec ops the most corny name ever

[cazza358]

yes yes TLO my favourite

[willg46]

wow, great game. Thanks Husky!

[rawrwordofchampions]

@crezth thats pretty much what he did build... with brood lords on topp

[EvolvaProject]

this was entertainig!

[TheRoBeRtBaRR]

yes plz TLO more MORE I SAY MORE!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA

[Crezth]

Zerg should have built corruptors, infestors, mutalisks, and hydralisks.

[ameikala]

Thanks you, for this cast.

[jonblan]

I loved this cast. Amazingly epic tide turn by WhiteRa. I hope they leave the Carriers in Starcraft.

[pakoti96]

lol in the end I still believed the game's going to continue somehow!

[FlexNTube]

This is the reason why Idra left that famos game in MLG.

anyway I always check my gas cus i check if there are too few :P

[m0r0n101]

That was elic

[CooLDsteR]

In the words of King Arthur... "RUN AWAY!"

[dburke911]

TLO's Little Domination series

[MrPendoX]

Actually, puking on your parents house may boost unit production.. you know, they may wanna replace you.

[LiquidxEviL]

MY KEYBOARD LITERALLY SHORT CIRCUITED FROM ALL THE DROOL!!!! HOLLLLYYYY SHIATTTTTTTT!!!!

[yanclement]

So bad to see the Zerg player responded so well but some mis-micros (major mis-micros @ 22:45 and 28:26) costed him the game.I think he can still win backstabbing with the 4 lings and those drones if he run them into WhiteRa's base T-T

[yanclement]

One, Lings saw the Robo goin up @ 7:40 so he responded w/ a Spire @ 8:40, after Hydra v Pheonix. Two, @ 14:50 I'd put an Overlord @ the 6 o'clock base ahead of time and duo wormed into his main+6 oclock so I don't have to risk my lings + I can pull them out on whichever side he is less focused on. Three, if the Broods went down @ 21:50, it'd 've killed all production White Ra has. Four, 23:00 Archon toilet no longer works. Five, 23:40 Hydra wins Voids but not that much Carriers and YoMamaship.

[slbaaron]

@yanclement I dunno who/what u r trying to comment on. The player? Husky? Strat? Your opinion on the game? Most things you said make sense in a good way. Put together, they make none. One thing tho, archon toliet still works, simply due to the positioning after vortex. Being on top of each other is one thing, but just being close to one another is what AOE was about in the first place. Technically collosi can do the same trick with mothership cept it can't get air.

[flammingum]

i want void rays

[DevinatorMC]

I'm Kent Whisley

[Silinrun]

Epic game from both players!

[TheChaosGlitch]

TLOwnage



[hakimESC]

THIS WAS SICK!!! omg more games like this! we love you whiteRa!

[ex0duzz]

@nilinar09 He's American from what i can tell.

[MegaNob99]

And that's why Zerg needs decent AA.

[j15421]

I must be crazy but he is saying 'Fleet Bacon'.

[lcmk57]

@j15421 he is

[XfStef]

close enough !

[lewleon69]

now tell WhiteRa that the carrier and mothership will be removed ;)

[hotshot619]

Whitera was right, anyone can beat pros, Lumen did awesome and that was a super close great game.

[drditup]

Aaah, the old 8 on gas into double fake stargate into double robo into mothership recall to hive into base race into win at below half enemys pop in all aircraft... i knew he was pulling it off all the time :)

[Kayokak]

that was boss

[TheTallMonkey]

I believe WhiteRa was intentionally setting his rally to his gas so that when his expo popped he could easily grab all the probes outside his gas, send them to mine at his expo, and only have to put one more probe on gas to be fully saturated again. Contrast with grabbing half his workers at his minerals and having to re-calculate your saturation amounts for each patch. Special tactics indeed =)

[vp1995ify]

hehe he said fleet bacon at 6:53

[EricKung1]

BabySitting tactics XD

[shizumaoo]

Super Dario, btw. or The Little Own, or Dario WINsch. or My Little Droney, or TLOwned, or The Leetle One.

I'll stop now, but I can keep coming up with puns if want, The Little Pun. :0

[FlaminStarcraft]

15:59 - Did I just hear a sneak peak of a possible Nerd Alert song?

[Nikolaguitar]

@FlaminStarcraft That nerd alert song is already out..

[hotshot619]

@FlaminStarcraft That's been a Nerd Alert song for s while, look on his site its very funny

[shizumaoo]

That was an amazing game.

[postscript1561]

Lumen had some of his own special tactics. 20 cancelled Spine Crawlers.

[sptGx]

Fuck you Husky. It would of taken me over a month to upload this video on the dial-up I had to deal with on SC1.

[RabidRabbit27]

Lumen was doing awesomely in early to mid game, but totally fell apart in the late game. Kudos to him for doing so well against whitera though

[blendedcookie]

Little hints for thelittleone

[sebasmartenable]

lumen deserves respect

[sebasmartenable]

SC 2 level: foreigner /SC broodwar level: asian

[jdc4]

haha even white ra knows SC2 is EZ mode

[sebasmartenable]

@jdc4 lol SC2 takes no skill, you can be master with 80 apm... 80...

[Bovoid5]

One sad panda with no more candy. Not sure if reference to CandyPanda, a pro LoL player
