Starcraft 2 - Tips & Tricks #2

[UrbanTurban007]

bunker nydus worm huh

[Mobble11]

You can make all over lords stay all grouped up by making all of them follow one drone that is mining. So thumbs up this comment so everyone could see it !!!

[MrSurface94]

nvm my warp theory, didnt work

[MrSurface94]

I wanna play zerg only for the wings on the lings :D

And OMG you sir are awesome, that terran teleport with bunkers <3

And do you know if I earn time by warping in a zealot, switching to normal tech, producing a zealot, switching to warp and warp in another? You probably think it wont cause the second zealot wont finish before the warp would be done BUT! Right after you get the second zealot, you can warp in another unit right after the swap to warp tech! So you spend the cooldown producing!

[swine13]

Don't ultras go all shiny when you get chitinous plating?

[baldmanwithBIGlegs]

hey, no love for the brotoss!?

[K3rriganZerg]

LMFAO AT THE END OF THE VIDEO!!

[K3rriganZerg]

LMAO the Muta's won xd

[K3rriganZerg]

Yea if only Drones would get a speed bonus, the game would be over pretty fast ;) lol

[poyzz330]

13:36 actually, it takes time to warp them in.

[SlushFX]

Lol 10:15 he said roaches but it was infestors ^^

[TheEnzune]

lol cliff walk zerglings is h@x

[solivetunion]

thumbs up if u kept moving the screen to the edges to move the screen

[rosenvitae]

7:00 If you test marauders at this block, you could add a text to comfirm/dismiss the posibility :) gj btw

[NuCasy]

tits and tricks bro

[Zeeman378]

0:12 all the boners

[georgecrbzn]

these tips will guide the next patch!

[mazokuss1]

what is the name of the map ??? its huuuuggggeeee :X

[DJEnker0]

ROLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[AdamSurfsUp]

7:41 umbilical cord.

[Snowgooooose]

does anyone know where i can see the replay of the korean guy?

[BingoGaming]

@Snowgooooose Lau?

[Nazo887]

question, why does it give you the option to put warpgates back into gateways?

[Cheeser334]

@Nazo887 maybe if ur cybernetics gets killed? idk

[Youngredfield]

@Nazo887 this was in Beta they had that option at that time

[Nazo887]

@Youngredfield You still have the option

[CerberusT93]

you can do that overlord trick in sc 1 as well, its nothing new

[ragminer]

HOW did you do so that you can move the enemy aswell?

[JavelinMagic]

Can you load the thor to dodge the spine crawler's attack?

[IAmUh]

Pretty cool man, the end was funny as hell.

[Riox7PepzI]

put all overlords to follow 1 overlord, then they stay in small area

[MalisaAlexan]

must see live hackbook trick /watch?v=Fd0di5HFboY

[CerberusT93]

@MalisaAlexan the video was removed...

[TheFivegoodemperors]

good tips, thank you

[serban277]

More important...if you parasite the egg...when it explodes does the resources come back to the player who queued the units that were about to hatch?

[ridewo1]

can you patrol the zergling by that plantary fortres trick?

[TolFlame]

so if u neuroparasyte an egg, can u use the larve?

[conradhall1972]

How do you controll the enemy? Like, is in in triggers? Or what?

[iMMIT1987]

it's not a korean did, it was originally idea from Sen, the Taiwanese zerg. Sen did a hatchery cancel creep + spine cowler rush in sc2 Beta and Bliizard found that it's impossible to stop, that was why spine cowler takes 8 sec to get into ground now. When Sen did this everyone was like, WOW!!!

[lagmaster102]

you stack ovies by having them all bunch up and immediately patrol them a very short distance away, make sure u patrol before they spread out so they will stay in one spot, kinda fidgeting cause of the patrol i guess

[awsumpersun321]

i just want to know

do mules repair faster than scvs?

[DeDeNerd]

@awsumpersun321 yes it does

[IdRunFromMeToo]

Is it just me... Or at 14:15 the shadow on the ground looks like a boogy monster lol!

[AmphibianStudios]

@IdRunFromMeToo hahahahaha

[ShatteredAlliance]

Was anyone aware of the fact that you can see burrowed units like you can see cloaked units wavy lines. There is a slight shadow on burrowed units that you can follow unless they have patched it. Give it a try on some roaches.

[conradhall1972]

Thumbs up for all the erg who died because they were fighting against there will. The overmind made them kill people. Poor zerg.

[CaptianGorges]

@conradhall1972 SPOILERS

[conradhall1972]

@CaptianGorges Not really. I mean, i'm not talking about the campaign. Just in all matches. They dont want to fight. They have to because eveyone it trying to kill them.

[whycanticomein]

@conradhall1972 The overmind didn't do it. The dark voice forced the overmind to kill people

[soapandwafflesrule]

did you guys no you can neural parasite a probe and you can have protoss buildings even if you play zerg

roach and stalker army? anyone?

[PikaFuhrer]

@soapandwafflesrule

REALLY??

(No sarcasm)

[milwatts]

job job!!!nice video!!

[MARV361theSTAR]

what if u call some mules on banelings?

[ZeKottall]

cliffwalking zerglings would be so awesome!

[theknight27]

For the burrowed banelings: Autocast function is on the unburrow key, which is pretty much the same as the explode key, only with 1 second delay.

[mrSnoopcheri]

Am I the only one getting adds for shaadi.com

[qwertyuiop13579111]

if you cant scout then scan then drop a mule on the scan to scout the base fully

[tynansylvester]

Banelings do damage when they explode because they are killed. So autocast unburrow is only a problem if the enemy is move-commanding and thus might not explode all your banelings.

[daikirainayume]

can u build with the larvs u neroparasides?? can he?

[DarkArtz212]

TRIPS N TICKS! 14:34

[hcpftw]

Hydros move faster cause they have a slippery tail that they move on so they r just sliding on creep, other ones have to Walk... hydros only have to slide on their stomach.. physics, thats it :)

[GGAlice1]

ya overlord control just group em up like you would mutas and then when they take up the space of 1 OL just right click your hatch and they can't get to the center of the hatchery so they will just continually try to get there and stay clumped up and not in the way, standard shit for my play.

[GGAlice1]

[Xylarpwnz]

can i do this spine trick or is it a bug? O.O

[16isjusthowirole]

for the warp gates, it isn't actually 10 seconds in reality, because of the 5 seconds that it takes to actually warp the units in. just thought i'd point that out if it makes any sense

[jacf6]

@16isjusthowirole But the countdown starts before they've warped in.

[wavelucas]

hydras go faster so they can fend off air around the base

[serg37]

You forgot spinecrawlers in the creep speed

[guitarpro925]

that planetary fortress tip was lol

[GreatCommunistEmpire]

0:01



[tahvot121]

can u make tips and tricks for noobs? new players...

[SooWoopSTARCRAFT]

I know how to make your ovis perma group/stack. PM ingame

SooWoop302

[juiceweaselism]

Hmm... you COULD hide a spire or sth from your enemy with the first trick... you just have to make sure to spread some ovi creep later on...

[strikermovies4u]

zerg cant build cheangelings or can they

[bricbob1986]

i dont understand who would take the time to watch this video and then give it a dislike review....10 cunts

[SnowboardPlata]

@Theyonecessito xD I got my first reaction!

[Healingproof]

Patrol to make ur overlords stack together. I never played zerg but im pretty sure that should do it. I do that with my vikings when i dont want them to cover my entire base if i have many.

[iKyuubi1995]

whys his........ idk what you call it. the bottom portion of the screen different than others? is there a way to do that? if so how?

[Viruzzz]

@iKyuubi1995 the different races get different UI designs. The one in the video is protoss

[juggl3]

Tits and trips videos are awesome!

[rockshow256]

7:33 LOLD xdxdxd

[kirodragon12]

anyone else noticed the shape of the bunkers and what it released at the end of it later? XD

[vladibrecht]

you can put unburrow on autocast, they wille use unburrow and run towards units when they come close

[1wilco12]

5:00 his minerals are over 9000!

[SnowboardPlata]

The warp Gate thing doesn't make sense because if it lowered each unit by 10 seconds it would suck cause If I warp in a zealot sentry and a stalker each of the gates would be delayed and I couldnt get my new round of units at the same time psy u fail

[theyonecessito]

@SnowboardPlata Actually, you're just an idiot. He was correct in what he said.

[StarcraftCove]

"Fucking name of the video..." XD

[daetur]

Oh, jesus, cliffwalking speedlings. That is TERRIFYING.

[Ejohrik]

I would totaly build a highway of bunkers. Fast travel!

[TheBob4356]

Infestor: SURPRISE ABORTION

[DmProductions12x]

@TheBob4356 LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO that made me lauugh so hard

[Midnighter169]

@TheBob4356 it would be funnier if he had the roach warren aligned with the infestor and had the egg right behind the warren

[3v3r1n]

11:39 micro this marine , wtff :D

[3v3r1n]

10:20 burrow these roaches ?? ;D

[bvcxbvcxbvcxbvcx]

try pattrolling on the spot

[simon7570]

infestor abortion lol xD

[Nazo887]

Send an overlord to a corner and have all the other overlords follow it. Im 90% sure they dont spread out.

[Infernal01]

Haha zerglings jumping over cliffs, that would be hilarious. Imagine a terran player being overwhelmed by 100 lings just hovering in his base.

[jaaki94]

Let me get the warp gate usefulness clear: with warp gates you get the units first then the cooldown and you can so it everywhere unlike normal gates where you have to wait a long time to get your unit.. Yeah the warp gate cd is 5 sec shorter anyway so thats a reason enough to get the dirt cheap upgrade

[jaaki94]

Flying unit bunch up tip: you need to have a bunch of air units selected and then bunch them up by spamming right click on the ground (dont spam exact same spot but almost) When they are momentarily massed up together press p (patrol) on the exact spot they are on. Then they will start patrolling the one spot without spreading out. Yeah that was kinda hard to explain but thumbs up if you understood :) its very easy to do really

[MuscularBeaver]

mxchump's scouting tip could be fun for queen drops

[rillel89]

Warping in units actually takes 5 sec, so you only really lower the cool-down by 5 sec.

[travisjow]

select your overlords and make them follow a mining drone

[MrIPhonemaniac]

LOL "tips and fuck you"

[merscmersc]

Tips for nubs. Your other ones were better!

[magus424]

it's autocast on unburrow, not explode - i posted a video showing it

[Listendamnyou]

ur fuckin welcome

/Jim

[TormiTormi]

Tits & Trips!

[metaitachi]

Zerglings cliffwalking would be brutal

[ColdFusionGames]

Anyone else find the flying zergling soooo cute! :3

[speedplay45]

if you could possibly make more tips for other races for toss and terran, that would be awesome ty

[xxdanxexx]

Ultralisk cleave is getting fixed now that you showed it lol I think Blizzard's watching your videos.

[MsHojat]

@xxdanxexx Absolutely everyone has been talking about it on the official Blizzard forums as well as other community sites. It's not something that Psy discovered, and he's probably not even the only person to mention it on youtube.

On a side note though, now that ultra's cleave has been "fixed", Ultra's AoE has now decreased by 30-70% depending on the unit it's attacking. Psy should do a video demonstrating this (even though marines are a 30% one, when you do it in practice yu get more like 50)

[lahloumomo]

For Overlords Tricks u just need to gather them in one spot and make them patroling in the same point ;)

[tastyy24]

When you select a bunch of Overlords and click attack and then on a structure they will do this.

[Techra]

9:00 awww cute lil zergling ^_^ i want him as a pet

[jasonxui]

im not sure if my eyes are correct, but i am sure to see the ultras get a bit more detail on their back when you research the plating....

[joplets05]

Hmm. I'm not sure if you were wanting to try it with those banelings and immortals at the end. But I'm curious if whether hardened shields work on baneling attacks.

[mxchump]

The fact that Zerglings cant fly are sooo Under Powered

[MsHojat]

@PsyStarcraft All warpgate units take 5 seconds to warp-in, so while the cooldown is 10s less, the overall gap is just 5 seconds less. This amounts to 15% faster zealots, and 13.5% faster Stalkers and sentries. As long as a player is 85% or greater efficiency with their warp gates, it is worthwhile to use. Everyone should realize however, that 14% is only 1 extra gateway when you have SEVEN gateways already... meaning you save 1/7th the cost of 1 gateway, which is only about 21 minerals!!!

[YouLoveBeef]

@MsHojat You cant simplify like that. Those 5 seconds pop ur units anywhere on the map (with a pylon ofc), so your math only applies to RIGHT outside the stargate/warpgate. To put it in other terms. The calculation is irrelevant.

[MsHojat]

@YouLoveBeef No. I am aware that warp gate has an extra use of proxy pylon strategies (which are generally kinda all-in), but that does not make my math incorrect or irrelevant.

People can still get warp gates if they plan on doing pressure with proxy warp-in attack, and that's fine and great, but if they know they won't be trying that build, then would say there is very little advantage to getting the upgrade... at least so early on in the game, when you could get hallucination first instead.

[TheProtocol]

How do you control both Red and Blue units?

[MsHojat]

@TheProtocol There's a trigger in the map editor called "share control". It is part of "set alliance status" action. Share vision is separate trigger under "set alliance status" which you generally want to enable along with shared control.

[caldishida]

ArgosZenith did the 1st trick u have shown

[LayZeeDK]

Psy, regarding grouping up the Overlords, try making the triangle patrol that you did with Barracks etc.

[RabidChocobo]

PSY! You forgot to point out the fact that an evo chamber spawns broodlings when it dies... ive made a hatch/evo chamber in early games against my opponents so i can control the broodlings when the chamber goes down to take out a couple workers or marines

[Irieane]

one cuestion, how do you record starcraft videos?

[ChiefinCheba]

i think sensor towers can see dt's

[LordLastDay]

You could have just set the Zergling to run loops by shift-queing the move commands. :)

[hollywoodstar]

trips n ticks!

[skullnight4]

@hollywoodstar it's tricks and tips

[thealliedhacker]

I think you have to patrol the overlords

[hosan77]

he said tits!

[haxorkecie]

trips and tricks

[unirnmes]

It was Argos Zenith that did the creep trick vs ChitaPrime. After watching his replays by Crota, I think he's better than IdRa.

[chefaopt]

@unirnmes

tks man

[emulieber]

allways love this tricks video

[NTL808]

yea and i got one too, nice to use in 2v2; let's say i'm z and my ally t against 2 enemy units, and i wanna make a nydus worm in the enemy base: i ask my ally to scan for me and then i put the nydus worm in place without even needing to send in a ol

[NTL808]

forgot to say this worked in sc1 too, with nydus canal

[xRuneGunx]

all was really gay until 14:41

[Maaateenify]

while doing the bunker teleport trick, will the units moving inside be able to attack?

[dfan]

For the overlord bunching just group them close together and patrol ontop of themselves

[RealPartyBoi]

7:22 is used by TLO? Link?

[oixaz]

are there any youtube commentators, who cast their own videos for Protoss and Terran, like u r casting for Zerg?

[HJstarcraft]

@oixaz yeah im looking for a protoss caster 2 that does what psy does.

[TheDavidAntoni]

I clicked on the link to part 1 when I finished loading the video... fuck you!

[2JoeStudios]

why no tipps for protoss?

[ChBackAgain]

I don't understand Psy, because I've DT rushed a T and he built a sensor tower and knew where I was hiding my DT. He scanned and killed it.

[martinmidtgaard]

@ChBackAgain watch the replay from the opponents perspective. All cloaked units flicker, so that you can actually see them if you look carefully. They are however not shown on the map or by sensor towers.

[ropefly135]

I wanne see that video where that "Korean player" contains the opponent with that little hatch cancel creep tumor + spines trick. Anyone has the link to that video?

I can't really imagine that would work considering the speed of the queen.. even on stepps.

[cogwheel42]

Why would anyone assume you can't build different units at the same time from the reactor? O.o

[666bob666]

CUTE ZERGLING OMG IM IN LOVE, HOPPING AROUND LIKE A LITTLE RABBIT, HOW COULD I NOT SEE THAT AS A ZERGPLAYER?

[anoobis00]

set your overlords to patrol 2 very close points >< they'll be moving like crazy but will stay close i guess

[GDevourer]

BTW spine or spore crawlers also receive move bonus on creep which means they are wayyy slower on normal ground.

[TheAfghangooey]

Psy you lazy fuck!  Need more vids! Jk jk but for real hurry the fuck up!

[TheBoss2332]

Whoooaaa, some zerg just tried that first trick on me last night. I was like....wtf did he just build an evo chamber in my base for. He totally screwed it up but I think that is what he was doing.

[irdanri]

@Keiserlisk thanks! shows how much I've been playing lately :|

[thedudeyeah]

This is too much information. My head already reached its limits with starcraft knowledge.

[matties1993]

hahah trips psy your CrAzY hahahahhaha

[jmachol]

Fucking love you Psy. Thumbs up if you do too!

[bertvanbertenernie]

see? mutas are op, even psy miscalculated their opness

[891Demonkiller]

When you have that zergling running around the planetary fortress, rather than continuing to click around it, try using shift-patrol. that should make it easier.

[Pen7Ninja]

@891Demonkiller doesnt a patrolling unit attack when it sees an enemy? i dont partrol often so im not sure, but from memory im sure they do (excluding workers)

[891Demonkiller]

@Pen7Ninja

Ah, I think you are right sir. My bad

[cha0tic]

Something I found interesting, possibly for your next vid,was that the avatar of banshees changes when it cloaks and uncloaks.

[smokelakes]

yep. psy is the best

[tomdijkos]

Does the Bunker teleport still work after the patch? o.O

[Zemtex2451]

if you put the unborrow on autocast then the banelings will explode when something is over them.
