[yes333yes]

Dennis Duhamel your must be a nice guy to trust everyone with your information...

[mkb4kids]

[AllstarHunE]

[Opiko137]

Waste of a video. No offense though.

[Lonegertr]

[68TIMEBOMB]

i love how u guys say "anyone can do it" but yet all you do is cast "pro" gamers competing with very little helps or tips.

[The1Kenzo]

@68TIMEBOMB no one wants to watch someone cast bronze league games

[Disturbedfreak2013]

A zerg is actually the best playe rin the world now, leenok...

[kiwiGaming1]

@Disturbedfreak2013 top player is nestea zerg

[zackxjklol]

@Disturbedfreak2013 actually its a terran.

TSLPolt is the best

and i am a zerg player.

[XSquibX]

Wow! You literally just told me nothing! Thanks for sharing! :'D

[sawman85]

EU - top 5: Zerg, Terran, Terran, Protoss, Protoss

AM - top 5: Protoss, Zerg, Zerg, Zerg, Terran

KR - top 5: Terran, Terran, Terran, Zerg, Protoss

MLG Providence finals: Zerg vs Protoss

Top 4 MLG Orlando: Protoss, 2xTerran, Zerg

Out of these, you had HuK the Protoss (Canadian) and 3 Koreans

The best race is not Terran, Zerg or Protoss, it's Korean.

Almost all issues are l2p issues

[riceXD32]

TERRAN IMBA (ALSO MULE IMBA)

[chrisjk123]

@riceXD32 Because you suck, mate rank 1 in the world is Protoss.

[vvcipher]

dude u use terran, youd probably be a silver level zerg or toss

[Lovlygod]

How to reach diamond: use terran.

[randomassockss]

he aint bragging, he's just extremely happy to reach rank 1 diamond! =)

I felt the same when i hit the top 5 of silver league haha.

[pianopro9]

i am so sick of this FREAKN JIMMY BARNES ADD I DONT CARE ABOUT WILD TURKEY

[ForceSC2strategy]

@Capeau

Diamond was the highest rank in august of 2010...when this was posted ;)

[Capeau]

@ForceSC2strategy

i forgot that... you're right. I hereby apologise :)

[rb26dett32]

Wait, was diamond good back then? I know there wasn't masters at one point or GM. But I don't remember when they added it.

[cyclogenisis]

@rb26dett32

diamond was highest at that point

[rb26dett32]

@cyclogenisis Thanks for the reply. That makes being number one that much more impressive. Gonna watch a few more of these videos now. 

[beefymcmanst1c]

@rb26dett32 dude diamond is good period its assholes in master league who make it look like it sucks but this was awhile ago fyi

[bloodysand29]

Korean because Japanese are too busy with tentacles

[sippinyac]

Yeah thats great but have you gotten laid for being rank #1 in the diamond league?

[xRaiiZe]

@sippinyac Yeah he gets all the Korean chicks

[aegonc]

Wow this was the first video I watched when I started sc2 and got placed into bronze. Now I am rank 1 diamond! I know it doesn't mean as much because leagues were added, but it still means a lot to me.

[gloup81]

i played my friends account the 4v4 placement matches and hes gotten diamond

[oddbodx]

@gloup81 Then your friend is in for a few sad months of losing every single game until he ends up in silver - or god if hes lucky :)

[theweeblewonder]

How to be good at star craft - be good at starcraft ¬_¬

[Dethelem]

Do you still play SC2 and if you do have you improved?

[koopa2222]

I'm sure this guy cries himself to sleep every night, knowing he's not in master league

[MrMercuG]

@koopa2222 Dude, this was in 2010, he probably is in Masters already.

[GOcgyFLAMESgo]

@koopa2222 your retarded, in 2010 there was no masters so he was at the top

[koopa2222]

@GOcgyFLAMESgo oh yeah, i forgot there was a time where masters didn't exist =p

[RnRPwN]

Rank 1 diamond was the highest you can go before masters and gm came out.

[Kurmuh]

id sub if i didnt have to watch so many fucking ads

[YewTo0b]

@Kurmuh adblock plus

[pelub46]

hi dennis

[olegavi]

Guys you forgetting something.. when this video was uploaded there wasn't masters league or grand masters league, you could only go as up as diamond league. So i think this guy is pretty damn good, but on the other hand he play's Terran so...

[ikameozero]

@olegavi im pretty sure terran are the hardest race to use ... end of story but kk ur probably a silver nuff said olegavi

[xxtragicharmonyxx]

@ikameozero isn't zerg hardest?

[olegavi]

@ikameozero And you probably a terran player nuff said ikameozero!

[olegavi]

@ikameozero Oh, and i'm gold not silver.

[vpetisme]

Oh lol you play Terran, thought i saw something that was hard to do! :S sigh

[lawl123abcxcsc]

wow this guy is so amazing!! rank 1 in diamond! can i suck your dick now?

[TheOneHidalgo]

Not everyone can do this. Evidence: I can't do this. I've been bronze since the beta. You just have mad skills bro!

[dmrdan123]

O cmon Force your suppose to be Master League's rank #1.

[Jostone102]

Most Played Race: Terran. Ah ok, that's how.



[podgo576]

search for me on 4v4 my name is podginator

[ptwolf1]

i thought i was cool for getting into #1 in 2v2 bronze league...

[LolCaramelz]

Hey force, are in Masters right now?

[iNsAn3xMassacre]

Dude I'm watching this a year and a day after. Yesterday was my birthday... 7/29/11. Wonder if you hit diamond again yesterday.

[xXzantaxXx]

[MrImjewish]

[colebusss]

@Cybershadow Thats really your name? Do you know anyone named BurnTheSoul by any chance?

[HDivo]

=(( i ll be forever bronze because everybody in starcraft is ignoring me

[AssholeAsssholeasdf]

[JohnnyTrance101]

Oh I see play terran, got it

[Dualwieldingroxas]

@TheYouReport tell us his username and MAYBE we'll believe you

[jaredglasgow3]

this just goes to show that any terran can make it to diamond #1

[STEELrwk]

Why is every one in the comments mad. Haters gonna hate

[lolisabadname]

How to get a million dollars: "Work hard, stay in school anyone can do this"

[quietlyevil22]

why dont u just say u proxy rax cheese got you to 1

[quietlyevil22]

what a dipshit video...i want my 1:30 back

[SupaPoopaScoopa]

Everyone is ranked around 50%. Only the pros in the master league, where the system can't find a decent or equal skilled player can get over 60%

[RAWRitsanONION]

@SupaPoopaScoopa lol @ masters league being pros~

[SupaPoopaScoopa]

@RAWRitsanONION I said pros that are in mastered, not mastered players are pros

[Namezzzzzzz]

he's first because he's terra and everyone knows terra is OP

[dirtysaucepans]

I'm going to add you on Facebook 'Dennis Duhamel'.

[Silver2k]

I good sir will say congrats

[parrot461]

terran ftw

[ZoonCorp]

Problem ranking system?

[skipwarcraft]

Hey when you got to that rank, did you ever do any competition at a MLG?

[Football2349]

lol

[TheEscapefromReality]

In a minute and thirty two seconds, you said absolutely nothing. grats on the misleading title.

[ianman6]

@TheEscapefromReality Really? I heard several words, including basic themes for players to focus on. You sure your speakers were turned on?

[TheEscapefromReality]

@ianman6 lol cmon dude, anything he said is practical sc2 knowledge, he didn't say anything relevant to HOW he actually got rank 1 diamond. he said knowing how to react to your opponent. and then he blabbered on on how anyone can do it. so yea, my speakers were on.

[ZealeDBand]

i bet you cheesed your way to diamond rank 1, thats what all you terrans do

[SamKabobs]

@ZealeDBand cheesing as terran.....sad doesnt even know what cheese is its basiclly photons last time i checked terran didnt have PHOTON CANNONS sad plain sad

[ZealeDBand]

@SamKabobs You do not seem to know what cheese is. therefore your argument is invalid

[ianman6]

@ZealeDBand If you can't defend against cheese, you deserve to lose. If you whine about cheese, you're a little bitch.

[ZealeDBand]

@ianman6 U MAD TERRAN!?

[ianman6]

@ZealeDBand Protoss. Nice try though. And people who say 'u mad' are cunts.

[ZealeDBand]

@ianman6 Your uploaded video makes me believe that you're a cunt

[cancan460]

@ianman6 you should "en taro tassadar" that zeale guy XD hes annoying as shit

[ianman6]

@cancan460 Nah, he's just another 'omg race x is so OPd' or 'all race x can do is cheese'. Seriously, on one of the most balanced RTS games ever made (yes, there are imbalance issues which get fixed as they are discovered, no shit) people who make these kinds of comments are just weak players who would rather blame the game for their shitty skills. They're everywhere, not much we can do. Just let them get cannon rushed and rage quit :)

[ianman6]

@ZealeDBand Nice trolling, troll. Completely change gears and bring up people's uploaded videos for no reason, which have nothing to do with StarCraft 2. Coming from a dude who's two videos are shitty Metallica covers. Yes, we need more of those on YouTube, there aren't enough. Another Swedish metal-head? Original.

[ZealeDBand]

@ianman6 You're Canadian. I dont have to say anything else

[TheVaultingFig]

yeah... I'm rank 1 in... Silver... XD

[jEtPodcast]

@TheVaultingFig 54 SILVER!

[eddieoxford]

@TheVaultingFig 4 bronze bitch

[TheVaultingFig]

@eddieoxford yes... you let a lot of people make you their bitch. XD

[mase598]

:D i think i played with you b4 i think i was saying i love your portrait and you where saying why and i was telling you why i love marine portrait and you where just like ok...

[onlythedankful]

nice gloating faggot

[Onfire757]

you go to rank 1 because you play TERRAN

lololol jk man congrats

[Milzberry420]

The SC2 ranking system is actually really good imo. It works pretty well compared to ranking systems of other games. Trust me go play a game like Heroes of Newerth or any xbox 360 game. Their ranking systems are retarded.

[chucklez117]

Lol, i hate the ranking system in this game. In the very beginning i got put in platinum 1v1 and i remember one day i wanted to play some games, i played 7 games, i won every single game, and then teh last one i lost. I left to go get something to eat, i come back and it said: "Based on your preformance, you have been put into a new league!"

Gold... WTF

[WOok2a]

@chucklez117 lol im sure you were dissappointed, but the system probably didnt have a strong confidence level in your platinum position to begin with. If you are at a platinum level of play im sure it would bump you up again real soon.

Besides if you really are at that level, that means more wins for you against glod level players.

[COCAINOM]

SHOW OFF its like : heey, see this hot chick ,I had sex with her, YOU CAN ALL DO THAT.OFC BUT ITS HARD TO CONVINCE HER OMG!

[JocJav]

< 11 diamond 22 diamond top 33 master 44 master

[TheKingMartin25]

i hate the sc2 rank system! it is very complicated and in most cases it doesnt make sence at all! sry about my spelling

[idownyahard]

@TheKingMartin25 I know what you mean. When i was gold i won like 2 matches and i went to platina.

Now in platina i won like 15matches a row against diamond and im not getting any promotion. Soon i will be diamond too :):)

[TheKingMartin25]

@idownyahard

yeah, the first time i played this game i was noob and i got in platin rank. now im MUCH BETTER and im still in platin rank xD

[VeHea]

Congratulations to as an you have been benefited accomplished.

[nbaumg]

lol he didnt waste much time posting this on his channel. he was only 1 point from 2nd. gj tho

[jdsVII1]

*sigh...a rank i will not see for a while....but that is why i watch these

[AlterityVideos]

Looking back on your old videos, I just gotta say...

...You're voice on your old mic was so damn annoying.

I mean your videos rock, just hated that old mic you used. The new one sounds much better though.

[BladeQaZ]

wow people have some respect not everyone knows everything about sc 2

[KatZilla32]

how do you go to silver like do you have 20 wins and 10 losses

[Pakuna]

n00b

[BrandonReznik]

This isn't a how-to video to show how to rank 1 in diamond, it's just a video of you bragging about being ranked 1 in diamond

[shurtugal292]

@BrandonReznik

qq. hes better than you

[shhawn111124]

@BrandonReznik it isnt a how to video anyway

[shhawn111124]

@BrandonReznik the title doesnt say it was a how-to and niether did he

[ZverevasLT]

@BrandonReznik He tells how HE GOT RANK "with good mechanics and good understanding of how the game works and knowing how to respond to your opponent to whatever they do, anyone could do this" - FORCE

[beggret96]

@BrandonReznik Your right, he is bragging and this is not a "how-to" video..... but you are missing something he does'nt claim to have made a "how-to" video" In the title it says: "How I Got Rank #1 Diamond" not "how to get #1 in diamond"...

[ItsFineToBeNaked]

@BrandonReznik actually its called "how i" and he did say how he became it.

[nioxic]

@BrandonReznik Actaully he says how he does it. Basic game understanding, and just playing..

I could prolly end up about the same spot.. i dont play 1v1 though, since i find it boring

[RogerRenegade11]

@BrandonReznik He told you how he got it idiot. Did you not pat attention at all? He said "With understanding of the game anyone can get it" (Basicly put) . If you have a good udnerstanding of the game and counters and etc u can get diamond

[lawl123abcxcsc]

@RogerRenegade11 thats not explaining how he did it you jackass, and nobody gives a fuck if hes a diamond player, and this fag sure as fuck couldnt keep up with the pros which he claims to able to do rofl

[RogerRenegade11]

@lawl123abcxcsc He said he can't keep up with the pros you idiot. Did you even watch the video? He said he might be able to wittle a win or two away from them but not on a regular bases. EVERY PLAYER LOSES. I don't care how good. To be the best you got to take out the best but your simple little mind probably doesn't understand this so I'll make it simple for you dumb ass. Somewhere out their there is a player better then you.

[lawl123abcxcsc]

@RogerRenegade11 he said he couldnt keep up with the pros consistently or be within a game or two of them, meaning he is claiming to be almost pro level caliber rofl. this guy couldnt keep up with the grandmasters players are you fucking kidding me. no fucking shit every player loses. "somewhere out there there is a better player than me" no fucking shit i never claimed to be good at this game so please stop talking out of your ass you stupid little fucking kid

[RogerRenegade11]

@lawl123abcxcsc Lmao, You're calling me a little kid but you're the one wining and bitching about a video on youtube? Haha, I'm not wasting anymore hand strain on this conversation kido. It's bed time now lay down.

[RogerRenegade11]

@lawl123abcxcsc and yes he did explain how he got it. WITH SIMPLE UNDERSTANDING OF THE GAME AND ITS MECHANICS HE WAS ABLE TO GET DIAMOND . You noobs are pathetic gave me a good laugh fag

[lawl123abcxcsc]

@RogerRenegade11 oh wow so all you need is a good understanding of the game to get diamond? thats stupid as fuck, and im sure all you need to do to get to grand masters is have a great understanding of the game right? i dont think you realize how god damn stupid you sound but you sure are defending this guy rofl, why dont you get on your knees and show your appreciation

[TheSilverTurkey]

@BrandonReznik Who wouldn't

[Nasherize]

HI DENNIS!!!

[wv4life29]

@TheLolcatnotamused nononono, there are many diamond leagues. hes just the best in his league

[vonbassenheim]

If you play terran, you dont need a good understanding of the game to get masters.

HURP DURP 2RAX

[sedativechunk]

Wow Force, you are a beast at this game. I don't know if you still play this game as much or are on the leaderboards anymore this high but congrats on making it even once!

Not only are you a great player but your videos are very helpful, I think more people here need to appreciate you uploading so many videos. I am very new to Starcraft 2, I just started playing in December. I'm terrible at the game still but I think it takes alot of chances (and loses) to get good at the game!

[maxamis]

I was rank 3rd in my league and now the season 2 comes out and I went down to 29th I got mad :(

[byajumbojet]

Dude, I like the way you don't brag about every tiny little thing you do during the games, and you don't try to come up with silly explanation to legitimize the action, but you share the good mentality-theory behind your actions! Keep up the good work!

[gamingaddictmike125]

@TheLolcatnotamused No haha he was the best player in his division, meaning that of the many division of diamond league he was number one of one of them.

He's now in masters although i'm not really sure of his rank but he's by no means the best player haha (not to say he's not good xD)

[UnforgivableMen]

Guy number 6 WTF lol

[NwOkilla100]

is it weird that i looked you up on facebook lol

[koomornik09]

Gz

[shuuushii]

Haha! 'Dennis Duhamel'... time to facebook stalk

[darkstar571]

WHY THE HELL IS MY 4 VS 4 IN BRONZE I PLAY DIAMOND PLAYERS I HAVE 129 WINS AND FUCKIN 13 LOSSES HELP

[jrconjux]

your epic you save me on how to counter baneling bust and those frikin mutaling just micro and macro!!! thnx man!!

[PrinceV1R]

I WANNA BE LIKE FORCE...

[Thundermoney1]

haha hes real name in real life is Dennis Duhamel

[Al0neStillAlive]

@CritsGaming Actually however, the only reason you are a fag is that you think you are better than me for being able to play a game better than me. (based on assumption, but considering I havent played that game in months probably)

It reminds me of how Idra is a total fucking joke of a person but he acts like he is the shit because he can play a game well. Not with a proper level of respect for his opponent mind you, but well anyways.

[BroskiWalsh]

Hes terran it doesnt count

[Al0neStillAlive]

@CritsGaming Lol, newfag. Was in gold but honestly if fags like you are the ones currently playing SC than im glad to say I no longer do. inb4 comment about my rank, because honestly I wouldn't care if I was in bronze tbh.

[Al0neStillAlive]

@Al0neStillAlive Sorry you are butthurt because I don't like a game as much as I used to? I know it's hard when people have opinons that differ from your own. lol

Not only that but evey patch they released was utter shit. game was great but went downhill. My opinon, feel free to disagree. Hell rage if you want. pull an Idra and tell me how cheap you think terran are.

[Al0neStillAlive]

This game was fun, but cheap bitches ruined it fast. Don't even have it installed anymore and probably won't bother with the next two releases.

[vxy]

>terran.

[TheNNINJAAA]

i feel retarded but how do you look some1 up? help please

[nvrlastt]

470 points.... im rank 15 on 2800 rank 1 in dimond is just an illusion to make the player feel like they have achieved something dont get to hyped up

[ForceSC2strategy]

@nvrlastt

Seriously? Lol.

This was posted August 4th 2010. At the time 470 points was the high end of the spectrum.

[dudealive1]

@ForceSC2strategy well you are ranked 1 in the pool of 100 players in you league within the league.
