  • Forcefields are OP -.-

  • @OzaR33MidRashim yep! I got so fuckign tired of playing zerg [because it's such a garbage race], that I switched to toss, and went from a low platinum zerg to a mid diamond toss in 2 months. I had played zerg since the game came out.

  • @ctsincebay - I didn't play ST 1 or 2 in multi even if i ended SP few times, but i wached hundreds of Pro games on YouTube and are old Gamer myself form childhood ...i know what inballance is...and with recent changes i'm affraid Blizzard focus now on advertising and money more rather than inproving and fixing such blinding bugs ...like most simple ...timer that shows not real, but time ...who know from what dimention ^^

    Wining and points are not equivalent of talent, Regards.

  • Burrowing and overlord transport are so underused by zerg that its just pathetic to see players lose like that.

  • @oKOMAPo Burrow is practically useless. Even a silver protoss always sends an observer with their army. Regarding overlord drops feel free to check what I wrote above

  • sorry am I missing something? Where is game 1? And where is game 2+3 from DRG vs Strelok? I can't see them! ><

  • so many ways to fuck a zerg over :(

  • besides i bet 90% of commenters on hd/husky casts are not in the grandmaster league so... it's just a different world. don't compare races just because of statistics in the upper league. Stats in upper league = stats FOR upper league.

  • robo + warp prism = technology investment. Which should be countered with another technology investment... i dunno maybe tunnelling claws or overlord drop?

  • im actually embarrassed FOR blizzard for making such an enormous mistake by introducing force fields to this game. the protoss player has so much control over the other player they might as well be playing against a fucking computer.

  • wow a epic use of the warp prism indeed! and sure a epic protoss game, I love see this phoenix use as well the permant force field block in the ramp.:)

    nice video indeed, this protoss amazed me really well. :D

  • u should be able to destroy forcefields

  • I havent seen very many DRG games but my god he is tenacious.

  • I play all races and I think its very equal. The Zerg are very economic, expendable units, and can't win in a straight up battle with no supporters like the infestors, The protoss are very Strong, defense is good too, and they can do some pretty good cheese, the Terran are good at economy, cheese, and have less expendable units than zerg but they still can.

  • fuck protoss

  • great game

  • That was a very smart game by Gator even though he should have pushed out earlier to kill those bottom expos. Good stuff

  • again.. forcefields are so fucking lame.. wtf cant they get destroyed? it makes no sense balance wise o.O

  • It is easier to take air control when playing with zerg since zerg has the worst air force. mutas compare to viking and void ray.

  • @MrLoveStarcraft Zerg has the best air units for harassing, but the worst for real fights. Vikings are probably the best air units overall for their cost, but they're Terran units so of course they are.

  • @P1zzaSH4RK please calculate dps/dollar (dollar = minerals+gas) for vikings, mutas, corruptors, and pheonixes before you make claims.

  • @youtubing182 There's more to the game than pure numbers. Vikings are more useful, overall, than any other air unit for the cost and time it takes to make them. They don't harass as well as Mutas but they're better in straight fights and are better at fighting ground units and dealing with static defense. Corruptors are currently useless if not fighting air and Phoenixes can't do much versus ground units when they're out of energy.

    Point still stands. Vikings are the most effective air unit

  • what does op mean?

  • @jquindlen overpowered noob

  • @jquindlen

    I think it mean Over Power (just a guess) :)

  • ONLY TERRAN CAN STIM TO WIN

    ONLY ZERG CAN MACRO AND A-CLICK THEIR MICRO

    ONLY PROTOSS CAN MICRO AND FAIL AT THEIR MACRO

    ONLY JERKOFFS TYPE THEIR MAIN POINTS IN CAPSLOCKZ

  • what an awesome buid and strat

  • its games like this that make sentry look op

  • @BertonGod actually i think its more zerg that simply are up with their early units, while both protoss and terran got early units with is totally valid through the whole game to use no matter what the enemy uses in his unit mix (marines and sentries are always usefull and good no matter what the enemy got); zergs early units zerglings are utterly useless at endgame full on incounters no matter the upgrades, simply bc they die way too fast to the high splash dmg the other races got..

  • @Erebus2075 I admit roach's aren't great late game but come on cracklings are insanely good at harass and picking off reinforcements

  • @Erebus2075 yeah they`re useless in a head on encounter against seige units. but if you use a nydus back door or baneling drops or even use the lings as banelings. you cant count the zergling out at all. they are a great fodder unit

  • I did not click on the droplet.

  • wow awsome play of gatored in all matches only the second was a shame

  • I keep clicking on the minimap which pauses the video :(

  • gatored played a very bold game, and got the win. very good game.

  • @RNCOLSON Agreed. Showcased how completely broken Force Field is, but DRG did an incredible job of holding on.

  • @P1zzaSH4RK yes i was suprised the game went for as long as it did. yea he was able to hold that ramp continuosly for such a long time, while all those lings just sat there helplesly. would have been very frustraing for drg

  • everybody needs to stop being racist! ):

  • @rawrzii you too, nigger.

  • @gorthorki SUP NIGGER BRAH

  • How about:

    Only Zerg can degenerate (without creeps); auto-heal; morph into different roles (Like Zerglings can be become banelings to instant-penetrate, Corruptor to Broodlord to lay siege and havoc)

    Only Terran can burn down (red buildings); repair; heal? yes but medivac is needed and consider fungal growth and Feedback is there they wont last long.

    Only Protoss cannot fix their buildings; have shield; Pylon/Summon troops anyway.

    A small setback for each race, but hey, they rock.

  • drg is actually a very good player, gator wasn't plain better, but he was very BOLD. His brave play granted him victory...

  • I'm a zerg player, but that phoenix/warp prism/mass idle gateways strat was awesome.

  • FF is so fucking stupid.. (and stfu about "oh u shouldve gotten roach burrow!")

    Z can't even counter attack because guess what, MOAR FF at P natural!

    2 things I saw broken since day 1 of beta, warp technology and FF... gj blizzard.

  • i wonder how zerg is supposed to respond to this strategy where you use a warp prism and warp in sentries and gateway units to destroy the main while force fielding the ramp...doesnt seem to have an answer, especially if toss puts that many cannons up his own base. Ive never seen a zerg win against this strategy (not saying its op yet...its a new start i believe so there should be some time for people to figure it out)

  • @bonzwah1 Well you need Mutalisks like allways.

    With HotS units you will have way more OP stuff comming.

  • @bonzwah1 Muta. 'Nuff said.

  • @LordFrankGarrett i doubt it, the toss would have access to quite a few gateways for stalkers if the zerg was muta capable...in this case specifically there was a huge flock of pheonix in the air

  • Brilliant strategy. Great execution! This was a fantastic series!

  • TB once said "apparently to the stream all races are op and up therefore the\is is the game is balanced"

  • EN TARO TASSADAR

  • Zerg's early weakness to air is honestly imba IMO. I think since theyre usually forced to play macro and expand their hatcheries should be able to morph in anti air or anti ground defense "add ons"

  • @c0nsci0usness ever heard of a queen? thats kind of always next to your hatch, and its early game

  • @Nick23Sutton Buff the queens then, they can hardly be considered AA

  • @Nick23Sutton

    Queens can never win one on one against a stronger air unit. If u make too many queens they could be wasteful in most cases since their not really combat units.

  • How about blizzard release a new game where all the teams are identical. Then people who complain about balances can play that.

  • My point is this:

    There's literally no argument you could make for a race being stronger or weaker than another without disallowing their own strengths that only that race has. The three points I made above are things that only applies to how their worker units behave early on; clearly there are more uses for all of these things, but I was trying to give an example how 3 different 'abilities' for these races allow different uses without giving one race an advantage on 1v1 worker scenarios.

  • wait wait wait wait... zerg can HEAL? you mean regen + queen's infusion? I cant see where that helps EXPENDABLES UNITS AT ALL.

  • impressive protoss player Total harassment tactics....

  • speedlings should have AA. i mean they have wings so it only makes sense

  • fucking retarded how cheap spells are for protoss, gravity and shields especially shields

  • force fields OP!

  • best game ever!

  • Why do people say zerg is the easiest to expand with? First off, while our expansion itself costs only 300 mins, it costs us a drone, so that is 350, and our hatcheries give us 2 supply, unlike the 10 from a nexus or command center, so that's anothe 100 mins to be even with the other races, we are at 450 now, and that doesn't factor in making another worker to replace the lost one. second, we can't set up static defenses before our hatchery is done and spreads creep... so how is it easier?

  • Uh this is game two isnt it?

  • Zerg has Underground of units,and constant reinforcement

    Protoss has Strong shield and strong units.

    Terran has drugs...

  • @omgbackoff other differences include terran having way higher dps for less money...

  • Anti-spoiler comment.

  • Each race is different. Zerg is the best race at expanding, quickly or otherwise, giving them the most resources, but their units are expendable. Protoss has the heaviest resource taxing units; but are very powerful and unique. Terran has cost effective marines, and versatility in their units.

    ONLY TERRAN CAN REPAIR

    ONLY ZERG CAN HEAL

    ONLY PROTOSS HAS SHEILDS

    None of those things is any OP than the other; they're DIFFERENT. You can't compare different races without accounting for everything.

  • @OmgBackOff zerg isnt the only one that heals terran has medivacs which are op.

  • @DeltaLoc But Medivac's are cost effective, where as Zerg heals free at any given moment..

  • @DeltaLoc They cost money to heal, zerg healing is free. :)

  • @SweetSinFZ yes but it allows drop capabilities, and if you look at the dropping cost for both protoss and zerg... The healing factor is pretty much for free

  • @Changdesu I know, zerg healing is too slow in general except roaches

  • @DeltaLoc Yes but zerg also doesn't have to spend extra money for that healling ability and you can't say they are OP becuase of their dropship capability becuase overlords will do the same thing with one research.

  • @DeltaLoc and zerg buildings and units auto heal with time... meanwhile medivacs can only heal bio units, not any mech. so stop your bitching like OmgBackOff said, each race is different

  • @DeltaLoc Zerg don't have to build a Starport, reactor and medivacs to let their units to be healed one by one. Zerg healing is completely free.

  • @RoarinPanda and slow as shit. it doesn't offer any assistance in battle, only if you save your units and escape, then have a minute or two to sit around and do nothing.

    All of that aside, the only thing that really bugs me about Terran is their ability to MULE. I hate seeing these TvT games end where each side has like 2 SCV's left and still pulls in 2k minerals. Not only do they have the most cost effective units but they also have the fastest, most cost effective harvesters?

  • @RoarinPanda no but for the "free" healing to be effective u have to have mass queens. for the most part Z players dont go "hey im gunna mass queens so i can heal my units." no they go im going to get 1 queen per base for larva and maybe an extra for creep. thats about it.

  • @DeltaLoc how the fk is heal op? if heal didnt exist stim would be useless, mass bio would be useless. It wasnt op in brood war and it isnt op now. Learn to baneling/fungal instead of a-move or whatever it is u do

  • @DeltaLoc AHAHAHAHHAH agreed, MEDVAC OPEH

  • @DeltaLoc that costs energy, though.

  • @DeltaLoc he`s talking about passively.

  • @DeltaLoc And Zerg has Transfuse. Your point? If you're having issues with Medivacs of all things then you really need to learn to play better.

  • @OmgBackOff any idea how slow it is to regenerate hp as compared to repairing and regeneration of shields?

    even the queen's heal cannot be compared to a medivac's heal.

    zerg's units are very expendable. the heal factor is insignificant.

  • @Bakalar That's exactly what I'm saying; The queens heal CANNOT be compared to a medivac's heal ONLY on the amount that it heals. Can a medivac heal building? no. And does a zergs health regen cost minerals? no. You can't be so narrowminded in a game of differences. This isn't 3 of the same base races with different looking units and different lore. Each has strongpoints and weaknesses that the others don't. If you give any point for the strength of one race, another race has it's counterpoint.

  • @OmgBackOff Terrans can heal. Terrans can nullify shields with emp and can out DPS almost any other race with more cost efficiency. While I won't say Terrans are OP I would say that they are imbalanced. Blizzard have made almost no attempt to fix that balance and in HOTS are clearly undecided in their Protoss direction, giving them new units that are gambles at best. Protoss have no solid direction atm hence the stagnant reliance on Collosi.

  • @OmgBackOff That is on the whole true. However, certain units can be overly powerful. e.g. ghosts

  • also sentries, i play protoss so that takes some balls to say

  • @OmgBackOff This is the design but in reality some things are not true. Protoss units are not the strongest now; they loose in a straight up fight because Force Fields would have ruined the game.

  • @OmgBackOff PvT ... Ghosts can EMP the shields off protoss. Explain that.

  • @WishyLH PvT ... High Templar can storm the health off terran. Explain that.

  • @Szeicheng - But Ghost EMP destroys shields instantly. While Terran and Zerg can move out of the way and take less damage.

  • @knoc99 Yea. A better example would be fungal growth. Hate that spell. Can't run away with bio... can't blink away with stalkers...

  • @Szeicheng ughh hate that spell. Although one well placed emp can take that out of the equation too. EMP just plain owns toss armies. In PvZ its fair game with storm and fungal growth.

  • @Szeicheng Ghosts can EMP the Templars rendering them useless. Explain that.

  • @WishyLH No; not useless, useful in a few minutes, whereas Templars can use feedback to KILL ghosts, rendering them useless. BESIDES you can't use either one of these arguments objectively because it relies on the players micro and placement of units to see who beats the other to the punch. You're narrow minded and complain about pointless things without taking in the whole picture.

  • @OmgBackOff Thanks for the explanation but you don't have to be a faggot and say a person is narrow minded. You can't argue or make a point Constructively without making pointless accusations. Would you think it is fair that ghosts can use cloak and then EMP your protoss army? If EMP can take down shields they should be able to temporarily shut down Mech units for a second.

  • @OmgBackOff different but better for terran... Mule>chronoboost, Marines>zealot Maraudar>stalkers... 

  • @johnchen0213 no not really.

  • @OmgBackOff

    then explain why there are 0 protoss in the gsl., LOL

  • @OmgBackOff its all about how you use them

  • @OmgBackOff well lets see..Only terran an heal mechanical units... YES but what is the repair rate of it compaired to something like Zerg's heal or even Protoss Shields regen... What you have failed to see is that fact that you can remove pretty much half of protoss's shield with emp... and its original hp never regens whilst terran units can...

    Terran just have better mechanics than the other 2 races

  • @Changdesu Better mechanics? Zerg can spawn an absurd amount of units at the same time depending on how many larvae are on the map; protoss can instantly build units across the map and reinforce an army with a pylon. Nydus + warp prism. doesnt happen with a nydus or the warping units of a prism. This is hardly an explanation of the differences between races, but THERE ARE SO MANY FACTORS YOU ARE NOT TAKING INTO ACCOUNT, and you CANNOT judge individual parts of 2 DIFFERENT wholes.

  • @OmgBackOff

    YES Terran has better mechanics, yes each races has their defining features such has the warps and nydus, but in order for the game to be balanced there still must have some defining features which are similar..

    Lets take the macro mechanic of each race. Protoss as Chrono, Zerg has inject lava and Terran has mules. Each of theses mechanics allow each race to increase the production of units and you know it is true.

  • @OmgBackOff (continued...)

    Now Both Zerg and Protoss are punished for missing their timing on their macro mechanics.. You can't inject lava twice into 1 hatchery, and you cant chrono twice on the same buildings... BUT as terran you are able to dramatically increase your income every 200 seconds by summoning 4 mules at the SAME TIME, thus keeping you in the game for an extended period of time.

  • @OmgBackOff Now i'm a zerg/protoss player and neither one of those race is able to recover if they do a cheeze and fails. If you screw up a cannon rush... you are behind. if you screw up a 6 pool, you are behind. If you screw up a double rax bunker rush, you are ABLE TO recuperate your losses, through, 1. mules 2. salvage.

    If you aren't ready for a hellion push.. you lose all you workers and pretty much it is gg... As a terran if i lose 4 hellions, its just 400 minerals... 1 mule= 300 minerals

  • @OmgBackOff THANK YOU! Jeebus, I hate hearing all the idiots ranting about over-poweredness.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @OmgBackOff

    OP mules give terran more resources

  • Comment removed

  • @OmgBackOff Additionally guys, Zerg Lings and Corruptors can shift roles by morphing into different unit, any surviving units can later become something you need in later games. Protoss can hold choke-points better than the other two race. Terran can build ANYWHERE, bunker-rush behind enemy mineral and jump a reaper in it to cause havoc.

  • @OmgBackOff jerk off, terran is OP.

  • @OmgBackOff force fields are stupidly op. sentries as they are now are rediculess, find me another unit in the same tier which have ANYWHERE near the power off the sentries...

  • @OmgBackOff I understand what your saying, but no game is perfectly balanced. Some races are significantly superior to others in some categories to the point where they could be called unfair.

  • @OmgBackOff Terran also have the ability to supply drop and drop mules which greatly increase there ability to grow without the worry of needing more to wait for supply or wait for resources if on even bases. So really terran can do most of what a zerg and protoss can do, but also has extreme versatility. Anyone who thinks terran isn't OP atm i'd like to point them to the SC2 top 20 brackets of just about every tournament in the last 3 months. 13+ terran, 5+ zerg, and 2+ protoss. yeah not OP lol

  • @vampuricknight1 If Terran is OP why don't people just play as Terran? Just go with the flow, If you can't beat them join them. XD

  • @OmgBackOff Terran Repair and Heal, and this and that :p...

  • DRG epic, though failed, comeback

  • what a great game!

  • Is it my computer or colours ase screwed up?

  • These three matches would be my fav!!!! I like this Protoss player so much!!!

  • well what do you think of overlords? arent they op because they can fly around and scout the map?

  • @ajmpinoywolf Nope overlords aren't op because they are supply

  • secondly because their eco spell (terran have mules, toss have chrono) is bound on a unit. it can be sniped too easily with some phoenixes. and those two points cumulated, because zerg has very weak anti-air in the early game.

    Blizz! Please change something - this sucks!

  • @Zloin, stop whining. Every race in blizzard is evenly match. A protoss player can say that Terran is op against protoss. why? I can list a ton of things, but instead good players, find their ways around situations that are considered "op".

  • @khaki91 every race in starcraft is not balanced thats why they are still balancing things. ex. adding new units, etc

  • this match shows how totally op forcefields and phoenixes are. their spell is totally destructive for any zerg. you cannot do one thing against ram forcefields. even the very powerfull counterattack by the zerg around the 10th minute can be held off too easily with phoenix and forcefields.

    why is ff op? because you literally deny a zerg to enter a ramp. zergs drop possibility are extremly late compared to ff access.

    why is phoenix op? mainly because zerg has its supplydepots in the air (1/2)

  • DRG is the 1%

  • and gatored calls himself a man?

  • no top comment???

  • Best game in a long time

  • no nydus again???

  • Toss op

  • Gay Protoss

  • You know i'm always meh on stargates but with the upcoming heart of the swarm if you have seen what they have done that is going to change

  • i'm addicted to this more than i am with facebook...i go on everyday to look for a new video

  • i wonder how idra wouldve handled this differently, my guess is he prob wouldve told gatored to go to hell once he sees the protoss army in his base and getting forcefield out of it

  • @xxaznfirexx He d have probably left the came after seeing 1 Forcefield.

    FF is OP on ramps though

  • boner game

  • Forcefields.. COmplete and utterly bullshit.. I know that the play from the protoss player was great here.. But still, i thought the purpose of a game wasent if one player plays great the game prevents you from stopping it... I thought it was that if the enemy plays good you need to play better.. How is that possible when protoss can make 1 unit that blocks of and entire army for 10 min.... Bullshit.

  • I'm glad the Oracle's entomb minerals force fields are destructible, because sentry force fields are ridiculous.

  • wow he beat drg

  • great game 

  • Gatored BO was from Idra-Elfi G2, but ok execution..

  • great improvement in casting this game hd!

  • E P I C

  • " A Protoss must learn to fight as many opponents as the stars themselfs"

  • I saw a game a week or so ago where Grubby used a very similar tac to beat Idra

  • this exact strategy was used in EGIdrA vs AcerDelphiin the IEM the EXACT build with phoenix and warp prism and the same counter with hydras and ff the ramp here is link /watch?v=1PGFenKS8rg&feature=c­hannel_video_title

  • i would masturbate to this series

  • @chileangenius I did.

  • @chileangenius i did :3

  • I've never seen this playstyle fail. All you have to do is have a ramp to forcefield and it's gg no re. :\

  • Now the hatchery is going to implant it's self...into the ground. Thanks for clearing that up HD. 

  • Its an abuse of imbalance, another shitty strategy... This is seriously Bull Shit.

  • LMAO! id love to see top comment come true!

  • It's Protoss, not ProDOSS...

  • Don't think it's a wise decision on gatrored chose to kill overlords & queens, they're beefy & need so much time to kill even with 10+ phoehix. The game should end much earlier if gatored do a mass pick up on drones at the 3rd & 2nd when he reveals them, then follow by the warp prism sentry drop. DRG will have no econ to build any forces because he need to rebuild all the drones & production structures.

  • Feels like that Idra game I watched where zerg lost

  • This was a great match

  • enjoyed gators terrible unit control yet pulling out the win

  • I recall Idra holding this off, it's abit over powered. I see minigun and kiwikaki do it alot ( I think) and most zergs can't defend it :/

  • THIS. WAS. AWESOME!

  • DRG ??? he is one of the best zvp in the world and who loose to a champ

  • I wasn't expecting Gatored to win lol. nice game!

  • lol Gatored supply blocks himself at the start of the game.

  • its fucking pro TOSS not pro DOSS

  • this is bullshit, FF imba
