[HD] Protoss Tutorial - Basic Opener - StarCraft 2

[studentofthegospel]

are you saying H to the usky Husky?

[mgutting7]

this would get smashed against any kind of diamond/master fe

[Gentou9]

beginners, teamliquid[dot]net is your best friend. also, mehanics come first before builds...without solid mechanics, executing a build properly would be hard

[MrSingasongof6pence]

this is a fucking awesome opening for protoss, people take note, i am a newb and this works really well

[NicKisDeadly]

i watched this baked and did not catch a word... thanks for the effort

[MrArcadia67]

Is this still viable ?

[PiethagorasTearem]

The first time I played Starcraft 2,I played it with a player with some experience.I owned him like shit xD

[MrSurface94]

Chargelots 4 life

[1337Wunderbaum]

A better tutorial for toss, Get too 2 base, build an army, move out

that is how you get to master league, ofc after that you need to learn the mechanics...

[Commentingism]

Dont you pronounce it zealot not zelot

[tehwakokiid]

@Commentingism does it matter? you know what he means either way

[XHackSlashX]

@Commentingism Actually his pronunciation is correct. Of course with different accents come different ways to pronounce words. But from what I can dig up via a quick Google search, It's Generally accepted that it is pronounced "Zelot" (zel-uht) *Reference from dictionary[dot]com

[BloodWolfey]

This is very early on in sc2 and I know that very early on roaches were OP so this would be good against them

[sebseb1234567890]

if i set a pro to shift 1 hot key but then i want to take it off to put something wlse what do i push

[Pyromaniac666x]

@sebseb1234567890 Shift + 1 adds units to a group, Ctrl + 1 creates group. So say you had 3 marines and 2 marauders, all in group 1, but you only wanted the marines so you would select the marines and use Ctrl + 1 to create the new group with hotkey 1 containing just the 3 marines. Hopes this makes sense.

[tntcows]

imortals are good vs t n p not z

[BurningGold]

Furnigger

[Zhao525]

i think this was when husky was bronze haha. Good that now he's Masters

[CDXVI]

Is this build still valid or have patches screwed this up? Thanks for the tips. I am new coming from WC3.

[SnareDrummer26]

@CDXVI it's still valid, not too much has changed for toss and zerg since then. atleast the early game stuff.

[vikingsfan454]

mhm, ya i understand some of these words!

[schuhphi]

this is not the perfect opening again zerg

whenn the zerg is rushing have to build more pylons behind the gates to safe them

[ajko000]

@schuhphi Obviously Husky knows what he is talking about, and you don't considering your grammar.

[MrAnthraxis]

@schuhphi As he said A LOT. This isn't for 6 pool this is for when the zerg is trying to go roaches and you wanna have a hard counter for that.. lol

[voikuvoics]

how can I play as a protoss/zerg/ I havent bought the game, just downloaded it :d

[Nottotheface]

@voikuvoics you got the free version that only has terran get the full one its only £30 $60

[PrimeZero57]

how about not playing the computer either on easy or mid and start playing with real people that way we can see that the build ACTUALLY WORKS!!! ^^

[3sim159]

What difficulty is this on? by the time I have that army they have an even bigger army...

...and I am still too scared to play online D'=

[bassdrop16]

@3sim159 so you have the game but you dont play online? are you trying to get better first?

[3sim159]

@bassdrop16 I actually started playing online today... I think I did pretty well =D

I played the AI and it taught me a lot about building fast and building efficient.

[demonhunter9980]

What would be better is that you told us what tower ur talking about, i just got the game and i have no idea what ur talking about >.<

[MineIts]

@demonhunter9980 Xel'Naga tower. I knew that also when I bought the game.

[MrWillsauce]

@demonhunter9980 he never mentions a tower...

[alucard1745]

@demonhunter9980 if you want to learn brotoss and want a better more recent tutorial, look up dapallo tutorial videos. They are legit, you will get to plat/diamond within a month probs. Shardz(223) NA if you wanna add

[d4rkj0k3r]

@demonhunter9980 i was like O_O this entire video, not having a clue what the hell is happening, i've had the game for 20 minutes

[ThePowerrangerzz]

@demonhunter9980 i bought the game yesterday, so i get ur point xD

[IRedRuMI]

@demonhunter9980 same problem here, i want to know every beginning step..

[MrSwyff]

this was great! won my first match using, thanks Husky!

[SpaXxPC]

Thanks man, this helped me out alot! I just tried it out and won easily before my opponent even expanded once :)

[iarilo0484]

Why don't you use any protoss air units?

[Shotoran]

@iarilo0484 prob takes a while to tech up and if u dont i doubt either phoenix or void rays do enough damage and they cost a lot more than 1 or 2 immortals

[arsenalfanshukri]

any other new protoss player here? can add me? i need training partner

[aakel17]

@arsenalfanshukri wuts your email ill add yyou

[arsenalfanshukri]

@aakel17 iamshukri22@yahoo.com

[ZachandLogansView]

IM NEW TO THIS AND I CAN DO EEVERYTHING EXCEPT THE ROBO FACTORY I CANT FIND THE BUTTON TO CREATE IT I TRIED THE HOTKEY BUT IT DOESNT WORK

[cheaterbaki]

for bronze noobs:

write down this build order on a sheet of paper and ingame, do exactly what your paper says.

you will get automaticly a feeling of playing protoss.

[TheAceOfSpadesz]

I'm watching this with my glasses on and writing EVERYTHING you say on a noteblock, thanks for the tutorials Husky :D

[Zeke2d]

So uh...this still works at the time of this comment, right?

[MrWickeedd]

THANKS YOU HUSKY i just started playing sc2 and omg i love it, protoss are the best :D

[qwas12348gr5]

is this still standard?

[XXWISHOWNXX]

only build 3 probes?

[XXWISHOWNXX]

@XXWISHOWNXX nvm.

[qwas12348gr5]

@XXWISHOWNXX

Always build probes, non-stop.

[Mihnea90Teo]

PROTOSS FTW ! ! !

[cilona17]

@Guitarhero3737 i think some colossus will kill them all

[GuitarHero3737]

How do i deafeat a zerg if they are just goin mass zergling, baneling?

[Etrajbe]

@GuitarHero3737 zealot, blink stalker, sentry, colossus

[MicroBensku]

@GuitarHero3737 you should get sentrys to force field them off, and colossi to burn them from range

[freakdj97]

@GuitarHero3737 If using protoss then Void Rays work well, along with collosus and maybe zealots to take some hits.

[MiniMrMufel]

cool i use it alot

[HairyKitty10]

Thanks so much it works very well.

[IMINAKHOLE]

i wounder if old sc build orders are still good on sc2 like the 2gate and such and such

[OllweeProductions]

Hi! Thanks for this tutorial. I just have one question: I dont really get the thing with the Chrono Boost thing. Which build are you going to chrono boost and when?

[jmchappy15]

I started today and i didn't get one thing he said

[Myoldnamesdontwork]

immortals are so effective against zergs...you have no idea...

[ggnub100]

@Myoldnamesdontwork they're good against roaches

[rapzjk]

DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR STUPID METH YOUTUBE JUST WANT BROTOSS

[paulopavacic]

im new player at starcraft2 and i survive their first attack sometimes second but when they third time attack me i die (because i dont know how to expand... so can you pls make tutorial about how to expand etc..

[theodorflorinro]

How did u selected 3 probes to go to collect gas without moving the mouse over them. It happend at 2:37, I'm the only one seeing this?!

[3217491]

@theodorflorinro this is a replay....... he did that ingame than he watched it back through the replay system

[theodorflorinro]

@3217491 damn, I thought it's a new way of sending probes to gas :))

[Notsureif]

I have just tried this build and unless I am being dumb - it doesn;t work - to build Immortals you need 4 pylons but only 3 are listed here - am I doing it wrong?

[annoythefish]

@Notsureif this vid is from the beta

[poofartass]

Still not decent enough. I suck at SC2 lol.....my apm is really low and the ai pawns me at very hard....so I will forget about trying insane for now....gotta work on the apm and openers better. I'm never fast enough to build everything I need in what order I need and I always have minerals stacking up

[djfoo000]

First time playing SC2 (played SC1 looonnnggg time ago), and roughly followed the build order, got to defeat a medium Protoss AI within 10 mins. Nice!

[babysbabys33]

standard 3 gate expo is so much better

[vytong]

I don't understand what the numbers are next to the build orders.

[ssbaum]

@vytong They're supplies. So for example, "9 pylon" means that when you're at 9 supplies (9/10 for protoss, 9/11 for zerg and terran) you should build a pylon.

[vytong]

@ssbaum o ok

[EnexSC]

I have a question, I've been reading on build orders, some say 12 gateway, some say 13 gateway, what is the most standard? Thank you

[Jiebo68]

wut level is the AI? i dont think its very hard or insane. the AI looks so slow

[nickunrated]

protoss is the most boss race....!

[mikelandmateo]

gus and roaches

[miniazn212]

@minecraftmaniac224

hold shift and left click-the probe will follow each "dot" in sequence which is useful for scouting or doing multiple commands without managing each worker.

[alicez14]

lol we need a real pro to to show the noobs tutorials

everyone should go look up hdstarcraft !!!!!!!!!!

[TheCharbenew]

whats the point of scouting if you assume they are going roaches

[miniazn212]

@TheCharbenew

if you assume your opponent is going roaches, you have to scout to confirm your guess silly.

what if he wasn't going roaches and you prepare several immortals in your army-then you realize he goes muta ling.

[LHGH4x0r]

@TheCharbenew to reassure

[ggnub100]

thumbs up if you pressed F10 at the end of the video

[caterpilara]

@ggnub100 what happens?

[tuntarallCotA]

@ggnub100 I didn't, should i thumb your comment down then?

[Euugor]

@ggnub100

I sometimes put my mouse to the edge of the screen when i´m watching SC2 videos, as if i was controlling the camera.

[endofline98]

@Euugor sometimes I mouse over the units to check their life.

[NEHHXY]

@minecraftmaniac224 hold down shift, click multiple times. you can use it when your building buildings aswell.

[NUMBDesignz]

@minecraftmaniac224 Hold down shift while left clicking several places you want to move to, this also works to create multiple buildings.

[jcl78901]

wish there was a game like this where people didnt take everything so serious =/

[SMEGAFI]

@jcl78901

Command & Conquer.

[Duxasblt]

what is beter to do massive army

[Duxasblt]

i am playing protoss i dont now what is beter what not so good how do i now that

[courteibutt]

That was a BADASS commercial!

[Disturbedfreak2013]

how do you macro stuff?



[davidtheking341]

i always place the gateway at 12

[morigatorXwannabe]

lol u r the best ever ty

[fericus227]

I am very new to sc2 and have trouble with having too much money,is this because Im a noob,or because im playing against very easy ai and dont need to replace units?

[lineage254]

@fericus227 what dificult of ia? and if u dont losee have a loot of everytiing is ok :D

[Tankbox]

@fericus227 Basically, if you are getting too many resources, you need to trade it out for research and units. Try putting more Probes on gas and using that for Stalkers and/or Colossus. And don't forget to get your +1 upgrades from your Forge too. And not being fast enough can also lead to supply surplus.

[YukoCute]

@fericus227 asuming youre playing protoss, what you need to do is make sure you keep producing units and probably in your case u could get more gateways also expand when you attack. very easy ai is fun to play with but you should atleast play with normal :) goodluck

[iceblade05]

i have a build of my own now that is a delayed gate build of at least 3-5 gates depending on my speed at the moment of resources, i basically warp in alot of stalkers while hogging in the the tech, my zealots get the speed boost and take point while my stalkers cover, i don't see the point in immortals because their not good against most enemies like siege tanks or melee , but not sure if voids rays are a credible unit anymore in 2v2 or 1v1 fights

[sothe422]

I haven't played starcraft 2 yet, ever, and I'm just watching so when my comp can play it, I kinda know what I'm doing. But really, all these fancy words or phrases that I don't understand made me more confused than when I started.

[klashyn]

I ment I have been playing the demo. But now I have the full game to play on......... And I'm playing on the full game......

[LyOnS409]

Thanks for this video, ive had this game 2 days and keep gettin destroyed by terran players, gunna give this a go, btw any UK protoss players that wouldnt mind helping me out with a few things message me, cheers.

[ghost01211]

Husky can you send a bild order for protos and terran on my email? xman1@onet.pl

[klashyn]

I gotta say. I really like this strategy! :D I'm bassicly a newbie to Starcraft 2 I just brought the game yesterday but I've been playing the demo ever since. I love the Protoss! The way that there so powerful! Anyways thanks for the video. It's given me some thought.

[Rola4Real]

I just started playing Starcraft2 and I'm a total beginner... but I love Protoss...they're a cool race :P !!!!! This vid is very helpful...THNX ALOT! ^^

[YukoCute]

@Rola4Real the attack itself is actually really slow, around 5min a zerg should have already have around 9 roaches and would attack and win already.

[Mrmythologie]

thanks man

[Nekro9000]

"the point of this build is to get it out as soon as u can".. if u say so husky ;/

[XiaoDenZhi]

won't someone "brand new" to starcraft be in bronze league, and hence get 4 pooled/cannon rushed/ some sort of cheese?

[Bajsrulle]

u forgot to say 2 probes after every pylon (not the first one)and 2 probes after vespine and those to shall go to vespine

[Frozenamp]

I'm an average player at SCII

And to help I play protoss, and if i see them going

Defense = I go Macro.

Offense = Defense

Macro = Offense/Rush

See the easy math?

[Omegax9000]

gotta be pro to be toss and how do you stop med vac bio ball marines marauders

[origamiguy91]

@Omegax9000 gateway templar

or collosus

[9909901231]

when he says "make your pylon at 9".. what does 9 mean?..

[alvingagarino]

@9909901231 9 probes

[KleverKilvanya]

@9909901231 - It means at 9 supply build a pylon

[pandasexpresso]

The zealots look like they have glow sticks...

[PukeOfThePukes]

personally, i like to wait a lil it, make some cash, then go boooom... i got 4 immortals 2 zealots and like +/- 8 stalkers, i failed. but i had enough economy to get back in and win

[Yeungster23]

I suck so bad lol. How do you make your probe move around certain points like in :50?

[Greendotz]

@Yeungster23 It's a rally point, hold shift whilst choosing move or attack move commands to queue them up. It also works with queuing up multiple buildings and patrol paths. Definitely give it a practice, pretty vital skill to have.

[Zuwze]

Try this tactic, try this map, still lose against hard computer zerg...

[calkush420]

the imortals cant get out lol wtf

[unohok]

Voids rays Vaoid Rays just build them straight away :)

[MLGSemiPro]

i was 1-6 in practice league before i try that now i'm 6-6 lol now time to get it perfectly!

[geTfiXeD4You]

Voidrays get easiely busted by Mutas. Better use some good forcefields and storms to punish the zerg.

Archons could be good, too. ^^

[123pokemonrocks]

i would get void rays against zerg

[XceNiK]

@PaperWeightPals It's not ur Sc2 it may is your internet...

[badoofus]

@XceNiK How do you know if its an internet or specs problem?

[XceNiK]

@badoofus how much is your internet transfer ? kb/s mb/s ?

[neuralone]

protoss look sick in pink i must say

[Circasin]

81 peoples pipe textures are messed up.

[traxgod2]

trying to get by but witha calculator its easy just follow the steps by watching the suppy but its just hard to come by this fast talking what units to get

i just get in terran and prottoss dont know much about zerg yet so dont know whats gonna happend when i see something when i scout

[traxgod2]

didnt know u have 2 gas in an basic opener

[rikelf]

what are these numbers on the description? its the game time? or the number at the top right screen??? thank you (:

[NewTopGamer]

wtf why u want a newbie to scout husky when he has no reseon for it? scout is to see what u oppoent is doing so u can counter it...

[TheLiamMaster]

@NewTopGamer Listen to what he says in the beginning about scouting.

[Gibsonlpt]

THIS MAP IS EPIC FOR PROTOSS SINCE HUK RUSHED MOTHERSHIP!

[wtfhackszwtf]

supply block =always bad habit

[averagejoe765]

This video is now outdated due to updates. Do not follow this as a person can send out 5+ roaches and 6+ zerglings before you have 1 immortal. It seems you have to have a better base defense to counter this attack.

[diemanblade]

@averagejoe765 Um no. If they rush you just forcefield them out. That will buy you enough time to get out your immortals AND will allow you to kill their army while they can't fight back. If you get a sentry immediately after you get your cybernetics you should have at least 15-30 seconds of ff or more. If your good you can separate their army on the ramp and destroy their push. Its harder to bust a protoss base than a terrans in early game because you cant do anything to fight forcefield.

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

you should do it vs a human player. Or insane AI, because a human player would have rushed you with roaches about 5 minutes earlier.

[ReachManA239]

3:19 Did anyone else think he made a pun???

[ckeene2]

ECKSETERA

[papagalnebun]

can anyone tell me why are the zealots blades light so powerfull..? i play starcraft now and they are not shining like this. *(everything is on maximum)* *(AMD HD 6970)*

[Am4d3usM0z4rt]

@papagalnebun Zealots were like that in the beta (you can see this vid is pretty old), but they changed it before release, so it's not like that anymore (I don't know why they changed it; it looks cool!).

It's not a problem with your grahics.

[papagalnebun]

@Am4d3usM0z4rt thanks (:

[miniclip76]

yep, this was on my birthday

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

fuck protoss.

moar like fuck-shit.

[Killtacboy]

Looks like a pepto bismol Protoss.

[Dylanorr16063]

SUPREME COMMANDER

[RusMakMonkey123]

thumbs up if u tried to scroll the map as if u were playing. :P

[rendros88]

@RusMakMonkey123 "herpaderpaderp thumbs up if you're a moron"

[999zooyork999]

What does he mean by @ 9?

[burningkid25]

@999zooyork999 at 9 supply, you know 9/10 supply

[AnemoneAlaundorl]

13 gate, stopped watching there

[Pyron1992]

Hi, im new to starcraft..what do the numbers represent? e.g. 23 Zealot (sorry) i didnt understand what was written in the description

[syluar]

@Pyron1992 It's your supply number when you should start building it. 23 Zealot would be starting to build Zealot when you have 23 units on field (top right of the screen)

[w18ftw]

@Pyron1992 the first few numbers also represent probes (build a pylon when u have 9 probes for example)
