SPL GGPlay vs Stork 2008-06-18 @ Andromeda

[proffsetjohan]

WOW I JUST WATCHED THE ENTIRE THING

[JohanRaynor]

Game of all time? 

[yossarianpol]

why Stork didn't use hallucination?

[Hymnsurrection]

EPIC!

[ssanrock97]

PRAGUEEE ARGHHH MAELLLSTOMMMM

[TheGero95]

PLAYGUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[humangs]

these guys really like malestorms

[rgssasd]

That's must see!

[martixbg]

Wow... one of a kind game. No other description.

Thumbs up if you came here after Husky's reference in the GSPA (in the darkforce vs IMMvp) :)

Trick for watching this game: Mute this video and load the crappy video image version from VioleTAK and play both at the same time synchronized. And voila - you have good quality video and english commentary at the same time.

[nathanspratt]

@martixbg Did the same thing!

[Ryuouken]

The very standard 1 hour arbiter tribunal. xD

[damndamnd]

too bad Stork doesn't build his own devourers from his hive =3

[thejwjerry]

@damndamnd stork is toss



[damndamnd]

lol 1:15:10 they get mad at Stork for not ending the game rofl XD

[damndamnd]

50:00 hatchery

[delta5297]

Dude I saw that pylon at 22:35 and thought, "holy crap, he needs to kill it before it starts warping in....warping in....wait a minute".

[xATrueFanx]

this game just pissed me off protoss was so overpowered everything they had was overpowered and zerrg was always the weak guy ive never seen zerg win any tournament always protoss or terran. dont believe me well look at dragoons they were OP reavers archons carriers they were all overpowered wat did zerg have?! nothing ultralisk dont do shit. guardian aspects easy to pick off. lurkers too little range and die so easily while FUCKIN protoss had all there stupid splash long range damage and the c

[jinhk93]

@xATrueFanx You've never seen zerg win any tournaments? How about Jaedong, Yellow, July, Savior, Effort? Stop talking shit about overpower this and imba that. You say protoss overpowers zerg, but statistically, among the pro games played of ZvP, zerg beats protoss (around 56%) You're just an angry noob who prob always loses to protoss and just says its overpowered.

[Ur0pinionDoesntCount]

@jinhk93 Ok, the only reason zerg ever win any game is because they usually have 1.5-2 times as many expansions as the terran/protoss

[minhbeo]

@xATrueFanx I think your argument is stupid in an overpowered way =))

[damndamnd]

@xATrueFanx have you ever heard of Savior? lol before Bisu protoss never beat zergs. something tells me you never played StarCraft

[Drunkbuddha4]

@xATrueFanx Your making an argument about overpowered races specifically mentioning splash damage being one of the reasons yet your talking about protoss? If any race had overpowered splash damage in bw it was terran. Tanks were ridiculously strong back then. I say everything in past tense because I stopped playing bw when sc2 came out even though brood war remains the greatest game in the history of man. And protoss were really not overpowered. Otherwise they wouldn't be the least used race.

[Drunkbuddha4]

@Drunkbuddha4 It actually occurs to me that I don't actually know if that statistic is true for brood war also. Among the pro scene in sc2 protoss is used the least. I guess I just assumed it carried over. So don't jump my shit on that. I'm pretty sure that terran is still the predominant race in both games though. Also I want to make a savior shout out. He was my favorite brood war player. Until he got banned. Now I'm stuck watching Idra play zerg instead=(...I actually love idra though

[ScreggaeaficionBw]

@MrFakeBox del año 2008 sipo

[hizokaR]

wow !!!!!!! owsome!!! increible men wow SICK GAME

geeegeeeeeee... >.<

[arkeraymor]

game of the decade

[Kerlengo]

One of the most intense games in Starcraft history

[79JoonS]

Recall again mate.

[TomValedro]

omfg use hallucination?

[XvBOOMvX]

@TomValedro like the commentator said he didnt upgrade hallucination and he didnt have the minerals to upgrade it.. he used the last minerals on arbiter

[guitarFAIL]

ok can someone tell me what the heck happened at 1:19:27, when the archons simply dissapeared ? even if it was an hallucination, i think it would appear some "magic" effects of that, not simply disappearing units!!! right?? answer please :)

[TomValedro]

@guitarFAIL recall

[XvBOOMvX]

@guitarFAIL he used recall to bring the units back out he knew he shouldnt push it

[Baddieko]

stork is out to entertain, i think ggplay responded to it to entertain the fans. Its not about going all out on each other's weaknesss to win. In the end he came up short because protoss have stronger tech.

[Italo56194]

excelent game

[iamElijah]

wow this game was ridiculous!! epic doesn't quite cut it!! never seen so many archons and dark archons before!!

[aimthailaxu]

I dont get it .. Stork could have just transitioned to land units.

There weren't any lurkers or ultralisks .. hmmm

[clo5ure]

holy shit the end there was gonna give me a heart attack

[stephen133337]

what a fuckin' ballah

[polasz01]

why Stork did not get Hallucination?

[gabrielilloasesino]

Thanks Moktira <3

[dada78641]

I'm really not a good player or anything, but it seems to me GGPlay could have tried making Guardians to undermine some of Stork's vulnerable expansions, especially in the south. It seems to me a lot of his material was being protected by Photon Cannons only.

[anservino2]

@dada78641 also protected by that ton of corsairs

[DawnOfDemise]

@dada78641 Problem is guardians get pwnd flat out by corsairs without even resisting. The Devourers were there to acid spore the corsairs so they couldnt shoot down the scourge and prevent them from landing on shuttles/carriers. Storks response is maelstromin the devourers and storming. Obviously he can carry both hight templar and dark archons in the shuttles. Absolutely crazy micro. I was more surprised Stork didnt get guardians at the end, but i guess he couldnt afford the tech.

[dada78641]

@DawnOfDemise It's too bad we almost never see Guardians. Love them whenever they're used. They're like a slowly advancing wall of death.

[MemphisHelstron]

that...is an outrageous amount of Corsairs.

[warvaldance]

Don't you think Storku should have made the archons earlier, instead of carriers or at least mix them with carriers? The archon ball seems to be invincible against Z units.

[RyantheCanuckpirate]

slight spoiler?

why did the ref pause the game at 1:15?

[gabrielilloasesino]

@RyantheCanuckpirate obvously because he wanted to make sure they ended their game as soon as possible

[wasdwasdedsf]

uh

[DawnOfDemise]

@RyantheCanuckpirate They always do that if it looks like it might be a draw. The players arent allowed to pause the game so the ref basically pauses to talk to Stork and ask if he wants to draw or if he is going to try to end it soon.

[jamchew1982]

i don't understand why zerg used dark swarm at the end? vs all those archons??

also, why is stork always in these epic games haha

[Entar0adum]

@jamchew1982 it were storks dark swarms from his mind controlled defilers

[burninglegionx]

@jamchew1982

It was the protoss that used the dark swarms. Stork mind controlled quite a few defiles throughout the game.

[ZapperGhandi]

Why didn't GG GG?!?

Was he trying to get back at Storks defensive/passive gameplay?

[Winterkingdom1]

it was 100000000000000000000000000 times more epic when moletrap and combat-Ex was commentating this game :)

[2401060]

Game starts at 6:20

[ChummyChime]

send 1 ling at a time and the scarabs will be wasted thus minerals will be wasted.

[Mendelevium146]

wasnt this already uploaded like 3 years ago?

[hypercub]

Game of the year?

[Vendpunkt]

@hypercub Sure if the year was 2008.

[Winterkingdom1]

@hypercub This game is like 3 years old

[Tyfyh]

@hypercub which year?

[rs462]

@Tyfyh i don't know? maybe the year it was played in?

[skiming86]

[prosatan]

[NicksonReyes]

[TheOneWhoLived]
