  • I have a new favorite player - KiWiKaki.

  • thx a lot man, i asked cuz in some interview he said thath he doesnt need money cuz he made tons on poker ;)

  • @donHavrano french canadian, yes. damn kiwi is so sick. I thought he was good at poker, I've played around 100,000 hands with him. but god damn, he's a SC beast..

  • @NYStateOfMind986 what stakes? PLs gimme his nick

  • @donhavrano mainly 1/2 and 2/4, some 3/6. his nick is.... KiWiKaKi on PS

  • isnt kiwi canadian?

  • @donhavrano yes he is^^

  • "That is many gates ?"

    "yes..."

  • Lmao at 10:20.........................­.

  • THIS... is why I watch Starcraft 2! GG to both, but superior play, Kiwi!

  • WOW kikiwaki was just amazing!!!!!!!!!! :OOOOOOO my new favorite i think. his micro was just insanely good!!!

  • he went 8 gate so he can warp in more units at a time with the prism

  • Did everybody else notice the "cheese" on this videos tags?

  • lmao "retarded colossus never made it out of colossus academy"

  • Congrats to the super colossus, he deserves rewards, medals and everything !

  • omg what a game

  • a few corruptors woulda gone along way.. in this match for vibe, to take out the warp prism and the collosi

  • @zantrotti It was frustrating to watch as a Zerg player, one spire and a corruptor or two woulda saved him not only the drones lost but also the stress of having to multitask as much...frustrating to watch to say the lease.

  • The 8 gates were made so that Kiwi could warp in additional units each time the warp prism deployed. Imagine the first time he attacked if he had warped in 5 stalkers instead of 8. Pretty big difference I think.

  • was anyone else screaming at their computer "GET SOME F-ING ANTI AIR"

  • @zerey00 ...yeah

  • Anyone notice how HD seems to say things too quickly? As in before something happens he says it 14:47 as example something weird with the audio this video

  • this is how i would imagine the real protoss would wipe out a zerg infestation on a planet. FUCKING LASERS EVERYWHERE

  • you sound like a giddy boy now lol.

  • 1 swipe 10 hydras dead, so it forces you into one playstyle spire mutas or corruptors. but ok hydras work against fast colosi never except poor micro of the protos, but normaly roach only would work, against a low amount of colosi. I would hit myself or on the starcraft game box if somebody would make that with me, because its unbelivable hard, I mean protos has powerful stuff enough, as example the overpowered forcefields from a tier 1.5 unit lol.

  • pfff colosos drops are brutal against zerg, because zerg has no natural anti-air units except the no-damage-dealing queen, on the other hand protos units and terrans units all shoot air. thats the old weakness of zerg, its why often 2 banshees directly win games against zerg.

    Its not that unfair that you cannot win, but its harder to win for a zerg if such unbalanced stuff is possible. I mean against that you nearly only can go spire, would you try to go hydras that would not work.

  • @TheBlackiwid "on the other hand protos units and terrans units all shoot air"

    you sir, lose the internet.

  • @supaatramp sorry forgot the nearly, which protos only builds zealots? or which terran dont build marines? as protos you build in each game some stalkers, because they are generaly good, but hydras are only good in very rar situation because they die instantly against colosi and offcreap are to slow for nearly each strategie, and lings and roaches dont shoot air. so the only real anti colosi and anti-air are spire-units.

  • @supaatramp so ok marines dont work against colosi most of the time, too. But the warp prism has very little changes to survive a drop-try against them ;)

  • @TheBlackiwid Hydralisks in medium-large numbers rip-shit out of any air units

  • @TheKeeg01 against all only-air units yes but against air-ground colosi they just suck especially off creep, so against that drop they would only work if they would catch the drop before the colosi is in the warp prism.

  • Comment removed

  • HD, kiwi made 8 gateways so he can drop 4 zealots + warp in 8 units at once with a warp prison for a ninja warp prism attack.

  • Somehow someway, you will take an arrow to the kneee...

  • vibe, y u no get corruptors

  • naughty collosus

  • heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ladies and gentlemen

  • Incredible game!

  • a true pleasure watching THIS game with YOUR commentary!

    cast more btw

  • Amazing game. Amazing Hd. I still believe you re better than husky.

  • 9:40 euhm, HD, he uses his 8 gates to warp-in 8 units simultaniously with his warp prism, it makes the harass much stronger compaired to 5 gates.

  • God that warp prism harass was pissing me off. Skillful, but sooooooo obnoxious!!

  • that is how to play protoss

  • Kiwikaki, MMA and Argos Zenith are the best starcraft 2 player on the world (in my opinion)

  • I always thought Kiwi was a Kiwi XD

  • brilliant play from kiwi there!

  • Kiwikaki had 8 gates to allow him to warp in 8 units at a time with the prism. It essentially cost him 450 extra minerals and his harass became a much bigger weapon. Plus once the third base kicks in, he can start utilizing the gates more frequently.

  • gotta be honest here HD... you said a few times before the 10 minute mark that Kiwi didn't use the 8 gates. He did twice, and you are pretty dumb to not notice. The build was for 8 gate drop warp ins, and the support bay was for the warp speed early.

  • @ryuhi987 so right there man, and he did 8 gate warpprism harass so that he could immediately impose a huge thread after 1 warp in, and force all the zergforces back to their base, thus creating a safe environment for him to take his third and get cannons up there. Smart move, and a shame HD didn't notice that, nor the function of the robo bay...

  • There was a collosus in one of the recent videos with 160 plus kills

  • 55 kills, i think that has got to be the highest kill count of a unit i've seen. at least in recent memory.

  • he used the gates on the warp prism

  • its not cross spawns only.

  • lol crazy

  • The audio is about 1-2 sec off, still epic game

  • all canadians technically speak french >.>

  • @ellefsoneric that's not true at all, i'm Canadian and I am a complete anglophone

  • @ellefsoneric no..., there are only 1 main french speaking province, and we hate each other (:

  • @soccerhsu

    Seems to me only a minority spreads the hate.. Especially out west. I have no problem with bilingualism in Canada, and I've yet to meet someone that does. (face to face anyways).  Well that's not true, when I was in Australia I met a guy that "hated" french speaking Canadians. He was from Alberta:\

  • @dan1432 LOL honestly we don't hate each other, but you know, Leafs & Habs don't mix if you know what i mean, but yeah i heard people in BC and ect dislike Torontonians for some reason :SS

  • Sour about that audio sync

  • Why did you zoom in when he did the first baneling drop? I couldn't see anything...

  • Why is protoss so retardedly OP? All protoss players are babies who dont have a brain so

    they rely on the OPness of protoss

    Why is protoss so retardedly op? Even a dolphin can become a top esport contender while using protoss

    Oh so protoss micro is the brainless colossus pullback which even a monkey could perfectly execute

  • lol i said "that is many racks...yes" when i saw my opponent building 8 racks at the 5 min mark in the game....I lost

  • Please stop talking about the similarities between SC and poker. You don't know what you're talking about and you don't make sense.

  • @Araith89

    Why? Cause youre a poker fag who thinks youre cool just cause you play a kiddy card game?

  • @umadbrow Lol, no I don't, because its annoying and illogical, kind of like you.

  • HD should not cast games he already watched... it ruins it for us! The only reason why I watch his videos is when Husky does not upload new ones (:

  • Something wrong with the broodlings at 16:56. Never seen them freeze in the air like that

  • LOOK FOR an executor :p

  • Does HD pay any attention to the game? Blah blah blah colossus, blah blah blah I'd do it differently (smarter than Kiwikaki then?) blah blah... ow, I missed a prism drop.

    I also don't understand this fascination with comparing workers lost, 3 workers lost mid game < 1 lost early

  • "4 collosus are spreading their load"

  • we got new unit for hall of fame

  • why didnt vibe get mutas for the collossus drop?!?!?!?

  • Kiwikaki was like a maestro conducting a symphony that match

  • That is many gates? That is not funny, HD.

  • SUCH a good freaking game! <3

  • SUCH a good freaking game! <3

  • SUCH a good freaking game! <3

  • I LOVE KIWIKAKI! :D My favourite Protoss player despite the face that I play Zerg ^_^ His strategies are so unorthodox

  • Thumbs up for fantastic Colossus drop play

  • spreading there load lol

  • holy sh*t

  • how does colosus fit in a warp prism? its a massive unit.. big as a building, even ground turrets shoot at it.

  • @babu111ca the legs contract into the head, so the head is the only thing lifted off.

  • awesome stuff!

  • is Kiwikaki really from Quebec?

  • dont zoom in like that... just dont do it.

  • @IWrexI why?

  • @gaggyfish because he likes to play it AND is able to make some money with it... but ever since he switched to sc2 he nearly doesnt play poker at all

  • Very good game :D

  • "He just roasted up a bunch of drones" *mmmm, tasty*

    "And four collosus are spreading their load on that hatchery" *.....ewwww*

  • Lol @ "spreading his load" Nice catch on peeping the warp prism at the last sec.

  • is it me or is there a very slight de-sync between audio and video? During the first zealot push he was always 1-2 seconds ahead of what happened on screen....

  • Why did you zoom in? It totally ruined that drop.

  • "And these collosus are just spreading their load all over that hatchery"

  • @LinkarnN

    "Force it down the Protoss's throat"

  • @LinkarnN awwww i wanted to say that...lmfao

  • That colossi got a free ticket for the Protoss heaven.

  • he obviously got 8 gate with robo support for warp prism speed and only zealots for the warp ins (so they are cheap and he can afford it)

  • why is every1 hatin on hd? lol

  • Kiwikaki is NOT French HD, he's from Quebec (french speaking canadian ! ) :)

  • @PianoAeon HD is stereotypical american, he is not really good in geography and knowing the different culture of the world...

  • @lanceurdehache don't hate coz he has the backing of so many people and you don't xD

  • @PianoAeon wtf you talking about, hes from France(just like Stephano). Get the facts right before leaving a comment dumb kid..

  • @fearfactz1 he is french canadian.

  • Dude did you control the camera yourself on this match? is seemed to suck S:

  • @CarpathiaS i just realized that it can be the audio as well.

  • Kiwi is not french :)

  • @darkigloo He is French Canadian.

  • kaki playing lyka BOSS. seriously~

  • Great game, great cast as allways HD!

  • sick michael bay camera work bro.

  • Im so tired of HD getting more and more stupid.. You have been casting for a long time, you should know certain things, pro players very rarely makes mistakes in huge tournaments, its a part of their strat if they choose to take a late gas, not a mistake. And in this game at 9:36 he says that kiwikaki hasnt been using his 8 gates, OBVIOUSLY they were ment for his warp prism play, to be able to warp in huge armies etc. You play in freakin masters and still act like a bronzie..

  • @TheGabbuts You are being a bit too harsh that almost makes your words look like a complete hater troll. Sadly most of the things you said are true.

  • @TheGabbuts why do you watch his casts then?

  • @Kimbowills He casts good games, but he doesnt cast them well. I want to see the games because he often upload good series etc. I have watched him for over a year and he only gets worse

  • I want to buy this game soo much...i am in Sri Lanka(around India..:D)...so which version should i buy??US,EU,SEA or something else??does these versions give the server you log into??or would i be unable to play from Asia if i buy a US version??

    P.S kinda feels like i'm trolling but any help would be appriciated!

  • @ravitharaka nah that's kinda unrelated but trolling is a total different meaning. You buy the version where you would be playing in the server of its supposed area. So if you buy an US version you would play in NA server. EU in europe server, and so on. You can not log into another area's server with version of game in diff area. However you can play in any server you like from where u are, but you might expect some lag like we do playing on Korean server.

  • @slbaaron thanks thanks....i think i will go play in Europe or US servers...i think Korea would be too tough for me...you guys would wipe the floor with me every game :DD

  • @ravitharaka tbh no matter which server u play on, you will eventually get to where you should be and play somewhat equally matched games due to how bnet works. Sure you might be masters in NA instead of diamond in KR, but does it really matter? I would actually say the difference mostly come from the play styles and feel. Playing in NA feels alot diff from playing in KR. It's not so much about how good each individual players are. Believe or not, there are countless noobs in korea.

  • @ravitharaka If you buy US version, you'll be able to play only on the US server, but everywhere in the world. Same for the other versions

  • @Blopfury thanks so much..now i can go play some Starcraft :DD

  • @ravitharaka SEA version also gives access to NA server, afaik. The most noticeable difference between the servers is the lag.

  • @ravitharaka

    the version you buy determines which server you can play on. you could buy US but then you can never play in Asia and you might have lag issues (had massive problems with my EU version in Asia) but if you buy the Asian version, you only play against Koreans with 10000 APM ;-)

  • How come when I watch in 1080p or 720p my fps is crap? Massive lag...wtf... help someone?

  • that reaplay is so awesome hahahaha great colossus play!

  • The thumbnail of this game is a spoiler -_-

  • hd is awesome just to make it clear. and by the way isnt kiwikaki acutally playing terran???

  • @interfactor2 Nope, KiWiKaKi has always been Protoss...

  • Did nothing to stop the drop he had the supply to buy hyria's

  • the support by was for faster "drop ship"

  • THE QUESTION IS, WHICH WARP PRISM IS THE COLOSSUS IN?

  • @kjcvgjmkg

    that game wasn't even, at no point

  • HD is gay, his voice sounds so gay the last few videos.

  • @berserkmon HD is not gay. Asians just aren't

  • Insane game

  • 2 warpprism attacks with 8 warp-in-units

    "at no point In the game he made use of this 8 warpgates" o_O

  • corrupters = bye bye hero collosus

  • Protoss players (pro and non-pro), use Warp Prism MORE! It makes games soo much more entertaining to watch. This WP-Colossus harass was brilliant.

    I think this game proves that removing the Reaver from Starcraft was a mistake, I'd love it to return in a somewhat modified form in Heart of the Swarm - or at least some Protoss unit that would work very well with Warp Prism.

  • Godlike Colossus!

  • DAT COLOSSUS

  • colossus drop.. O.O mother of god

  • Is it really not obvious that he went mass gates for warp prism HD? Sheesh

  • kiwikaki has spread his load all over the place ^^ amazing game of kiwi!!!

  • epicness toss play holy shit

  • once again for the first time on game 2 of a 1 game series

  • He is not french, he is canadian...

  • Some pretty crappy casting, and this guy is always confused by builds that arent standard

  • @PesarTarofi good job marine trolling mission complete!

  • Kiwi's build is amazing.. anybody have luck with this build during early game?

  • haha... I really don't understand why you say "w" instead of "win". "Double-u" is 3 syllables and "win" is just 1. It's not a shortcut if you SAY it. :)

  • .....spreading their load?.....really HD? hahaha and as soon as he said it he paused... realized what he said and gave a slight giggle under his breath...classic

  • aww you zoomed in at 11:45 and we missed the whole battle

  • Damn Kiwikaki you scary.

  • Thing that people rarely seem to comment on is how annoying it is to be watching a commentary when they totally miss a big encounter and don't even re-edit to make those occurrences not happen... :( , oh well, husky's one of my favorites.

  • You know what you should try? get another co-caster i love you solo but it would mix up things ^^

    Why not this Husky guy, have you heard of him? No but im serious.

  • love Kiwi, he always has very innovative and creative plays.

  • spoiler in picture, you can see who has supply lead

  • WTB Colossus in the LAGTV Unit Hall of Fame !! :D

  • He did use his 8-gates for the warp prism warp ins , allowing him to do essentially 12 unit drop harass (4 in warp prism and 8 warping in)

  • First time I have ever said this.. All the races are balanced!

  • and stop moving the screen to get "better angles" ure ruining the game experience

  • @rancidhotmail HD keep zooming in on the screen to get better angles! its improving the game experience!

  • dude HD u fucking suck, he made use of the 8 gates when he made a timing attack with his warm prism! he instantly warped 8 units in addiiton to the 4 units he was carrying!

    He build to robo bay to eventually go to collossus tech but also to get warp prism speed...

    god ure such a bad caster... change ur profession u noob

  • Comment removed

  • Vibe played that like shit. He had his spire up for a long time, yet didn't make 1 corrupter to deal with that VP/col. *facepalm*
