Tutorial 1: Small Micro, Kiting, Infestors

[ocarinacrazed]

please send this to sc2mapster.

[sloomer555]

And that's why broodlords are op.

[TheYegie]

lol i got trolled...

[PapaSon85]

@TheYegie trolled? what does that expression mean?

[Rydahell]

@garyzhu1 theoretically, 4 zlings = 1 zealot, but it all depends on if you get a surround and if the zealot is kiting. basically micro makes all the difference.

[MrZephyr97]

@garyzhu1 zeolot

[dustynutz406]

i dont even play zerg but im watching this lol. <3 u psy.

[neozxa]

In the Banshee micro part of the video, I recommend clumping the Banshees together then kite the marines. That way, all of the Banshees will attack the marines at the same time.

[OoohYouTouchMyTaLaLa]

those broodlings made my day

[Webking2210]

your micro is op.

[ICEMagmire]

That's why I like to go zegling-infestor--ultralisk in ZvZ, to deal with broodling and drone armies. good to keep in mind if you hold off u're opponents roach-rush.

[mantisgamingco]

wut happened at the end? wtf... lol

[pilosopotasyo12]

those aren't broodlings, they're ultralings :)

[SnowKid32]

@pilosopotasyo12 lolololololool

[eyallev]

yea, it's very hard to fight aginst thoes broodlings ... lol

nice

[originaliceawu1st]

Umm... Well Shit Uhhh HAHAHHAHA

[IceHarmony]

lol, broodlings dealt 1000 or so damage to pull off that prank ^_^

i think utra damage and health was the same though.

[Siphtrex]

This micro it quite nice. But your opponent can micro as well and just focus the waek zergling. so in fact you just need to have more units, whichi shows us again, macro is alot more important than micro

[makuta12]

@Siphtrex But then you can predict which lings he will focus and suddenly it's a mindgame and once again a micro battle, and also, there's a huge risk he'll right click and just walk away instead of hitting the zergling losing the battle with very little damage dealt.

[doe791]

Found this searching for baneling micro. Very good video for a noob like me.

Use to be subbed will resub if new content.

At the end at first I was like WTF? but then I was like LOL!

[OnTheLine35]

hahahahhaha the end was so unexpected and funny

[mangomariel]

Haha, awesome joke at the end :D

[REZAFORMA]

at the beggining i think it can be countered if they focus fire =p

[jlothrop91]

@REZAFORMA it still helps though. as for the zelots, if he focuses one ling you can just run it away from the zelots and let the others kill it

[thibaud33ful]

i dont understand what happened at the end

why do ultra die ?

[underakillingmoon]

@thibaud33ful It is a Taunt who say : Blizzard do something, Ultra sucks hard !

[ShirosTamagotchi]

@thibaud33ful i think he changed the attack for the lings, its a editor

[LQT7]

@thibaud33ful Because ultras are shit tier.

[rkari120]

Lolwut... broodlings almost win? XD



[1975Toyman]

we need something blizzard, anything

[dragoned3]

-talk +acction

[holysoks1]

What the fuck @ Ultras vs Broodlings, was so confused LOL

[LsKarasawa]

an ultra needs a tank and 4 hydras riding on its back to be more effective, please implement that in SC 3, thanks!

[madcatandfatdogs]

10:10

[MenOfWarMan]

how do you show the health bars

[LsKarasawa]

@MenOfWarMan hold down alt key

[qualle987123]

What do you do with the Controled Collossus? Should we "Teamkill" them?

[Repulverized]

@qualle987123 Yes make thenm attack eachother and use your army to take em out before the time runs out if possable

[bwehbla]

hey psy we need more of these lil tutorials..do one on ur opening?

[mulchdiggums888]

Lol that joke @ end was kinda awesome :D took me a while to get it i was like WHAT THE FUCKING HELL????

[AlduinWorldEater]

lol @ the end

[matrixmdmd]

LOL that was hilarious the ultras

[MecaMugi]

they need to make ultras smaller and give them a stimpack ability.

[THEGHOST124]

nice joke



[TheBloodyBlizzard]

jesus psy, i laughed so hard on that last one :)

[jonboey2]

0:01 ad pwnner

[venim1103]

Lol it's not that broodlings are strong but that Ultralisks are so weak and useless... Atleast that is how I got the "joke" :D

[pageup28]

wtf happened to those ultras

[ankhang90]

lol what the fuuuuuuh

[TheSimpa105]

Can we have the map you used? Useful for training :D

[jmin012]

hahhah

"OH SHIT"

[iAznDorrai]

Took me a while to realize the ultras were a joke haha

[LegolasGreenleaf3]

@iAznDorrai yah same-- I'm like omg wtf?? were broodlings like the best unit in the beta or something??

[jamiechang2011]

haha, dare you to try these kind of micro tactics on battlenet's 1000ping latency

[Xghgjkl]

I love how Psy managed to keep a straight face at the end. XD

[xxdreamsxx100]

@Xghgjkl Oh ya cause he like totally had a video camera pointing to himself in the video

[XLORTEN]

lol xD how u macro utralisk...

[RomaN48000hz]

Compared to wc3 micromoves its seriously nothing....

those roaches reminded me fiends

banshees reminded me correct copter use

pretty simple

[thestarcraftsaga]

WTF, broodlings do a lot of damage there

[scoobiesmackies]

scoobiesmackies@gmx.de

pls add me on lockerz >FWB<... thx

[Keeban3]

I don't get what happened with the broodlings. One of the weakest units destroying one of the strongest like its nothing...

[sweet2551]

@Keeban3 since broodlings are small they get a better surround on the ultras, which is why they died so fast

[Keeban3]

@sweet2551

Surround? There were four broodlings vs ten or so ultras! Each hit from a broodling killed an ultra.

[thehyphenator]

@Keeban3 nah, you're only seeing about 1/10 of the broodlings. As everyone knows, broodlings spawn 8-12 at a time, with all but one cloaked. This is why overseers are so important in late-game ZvZ.

[voidstuff]

@Keeban3 that's just psy trolling us

[FredravnFTW]

Nerf broodlings.

[wensp167]

@FredravnFTW nu uh thats the last resort defense for zerg

[samuelt5]

well shit xD

[Foldurrr3]

LOL wtf was up with those broodlings? They're like ground scourges

[Ac3rpr0]

lolz ultra=pwned :P

[dfrings11]

HOW THE HELL DO YOU MOVE YOUR FINGERS THAT FAST

[Noobslayerk]

Broodlords. They, are one of the causes of 2012.

[Xxdom4073xX]

oh shit, the last one oh god.

[fookard]

8:30 i got this, BOOM

[admon3955]

lol why the fukin small creepies killed the ultras ?

[Jontrogl]

Ultralisks should spawn 2 or 3 broodlings when they die. And should push units out of their way like a force field. Who agrees with me?

[De4sher]

@Jontrogl totally right on... those freaking mammoths should be able to push!

[Maxpow33r]

@Jontrogl would be nice if they had a attack that launches units

[Leesac1234]

Broodlings=OP

[Leesac1234]

Broodling=OP

[TheNewerBakery]

Psy can you post this map somewhere please so everyone can practice the skills.

[iceakon]

banshee micro bit was a bit random

[cogsofpie]

hoq do broodlings kill ultras so good

[herrowoody]

LOL the last fight WAS FAKE :D:D:D:D:D

[herrowoody]

lol 3 broodlings killed 5 ultralisks?

[thegreatyuri]

If only Zerg were more easy to conrtol !

[RataFucker]

why are you so horrible?

[giedriuszel]

are broodlings that strong ?

[cloudroxman099]

why dont you keep HP bars permanently on?

[Fanggle]

@cloudroxman099 he doesn't want to

[callingallHeroes]

Wow, 240+360p the audio is actually noticably lower quality than 480-1080

[TheCuriosity7]

@callingallHeroes 

thats the screen resolution

[callingallHeroes]

@TheCuriosity7 Yes.... i realize, but try it out for yourself, that's why I said "wow"

[gabydewilde]

The ling micro was epic then it was down the hill from there :P

the 2 coluspsi and the immortal? You sure those are not going to do any harm when the np wears off?

[karnnameless]

@gabydewilde you can command your unit to attack them while they are still parasited

[gabydewilde]

@karnnameless seems rather important? Timing depends on the units, I cant see their health but the 2 colupsi and the immortal will still kill everything. You could for example land the 3 np a bit later just to be sure.

Anyway, it much harder than shown here.

[MultiLandow]

the brutlins lol!!!



[gregbednar]

Well, shit I did lose a lot of ultras, but... Rotfl

[idabadjiev]

he was just taking the piss :D

[FoRcito]

HAHHAHAHA nice that last 1 fight xD

[KAmaKAsa1]

that ending was fucking hilarious

[97SNRSMK]

Wait.. Y did the ultras die of broodlings...?

Maybe im thinking of wrong broodlings... Im thinking broodlings from buildings n broodlords

[TheAcehd]

@97SNRSMK broodlords fire broodlings

[omudan]

@TheAcehd It was a joke

[97SNRSMK]

@TheAcehd well im the ultralisk just like died when the broodling touched it so...lol

[rover2341]

@97SNRSMK Impressive

[thatguywhocomments2]

U hate ultras so much

[OdinLowe]

lol i saw the end coming... but it needs to be said. blizz are a bunch of assclowns for making ultra wat they are :P

[BixZsc]

@OdinLowe i thought they were better because of the splash, but people keep saying they suck... O.o... i wish i had a computer to play this game on....

[OdinLowe]

@BixZsc

they used to be good because of the splash, but it was cuz the splash was busted; then they nerfed their splash and their health and so they kind f suck balls now.... new PTR changes seem to indicate that they may take less time to build in the next patch, but I doubt that will improve them much since they're still to expensive for what they are

[dragonkurt1]

Considering all the Zerg buildings release broodlings, the only way to kill a Zerg base is with air lmao

[PCGamerPortal]

@dragonkurt1 or banelings :P

[N00byEdge]

Well... Broodlings is op... Attack broodlings eith marines, hydras, or collosi... XD

[Dr1ZL3]

"Yeah you just attack move and watch them kill the enemy, so we'll see that here... uhm, OH SHIT, that didn't really go to well." LOOOOL

[Pwncakes1966]

I am astounded how many complete noobs are posting on this video. Most who don't understand how actual games are supposed to be played to get maximum unit retention. Also, if you think you know something about what he is doing and think you can do it better, chances are you are wrong. All the tips in this video are useful and pretty accurate.

[acika00070]

banshee part sucked, you barely were hitting half of the time lol

[Pwncakes1966]

@acika00070 Yes, but in an actual game against someone, it is extremely important to preserve units, especially in a mirror match-up. So most people (pros especially if you watch them) would rather not hit a unit and save the hp, then hit a unit every time.

[DirtyDickMurdoch]

You can hit s instead of attack commanding retard.

[OhTheK]

@DirtyDickMurdoch 5:00

"You dont always have to attack command, you can just stop"

Stop, which is the S command.

[DrVoiceOfReason]

@DirtyDickMurdoch he said that

[hTUoSaerok]

screw prop 19...

[murybcm]

how can i get this map?

[twistard]

@murybcm make it on editor

[Teh4Saken1]

lol i didnt noe what kiting was b4 this vid.. now i realise ive been doin it all along

[rawrmrcookieman]

fucking advertisements...

[Nisp2]

What map is he playing on?

[starcraft2playr]

@Nisp2 I guess he made it by himself in the starcraft 2 map editor :)

[Fartssmellgood]

Nerdiest joke ever in the end :pp And i love it!

[MrNoNaMe1107]

what exactly is kiting..?

sorry i nub :D

[Morgius87]

@MrNoNaMe1107

Kiting means to keep your range to a chasing enemy without loosing the unit or even taking damage. Mostly its used to outmaneuver slower units with shorter range.

[BlueDeathFire]

@MrNoNaMe1107 Ever tried to chase a loose kite? Can't catch it. Same concept. You make them chase you to be able to attack them when they're moving and move again just as they're about to hit you so that they can't. Or at the very least, get hit less.

[hahabendover]

I think you should do the same thing but for protoss and then terran :)

[loipops]

WTF broodlings do that much dmg?????

[zazzoa]

@loipops *sarcasm*

[CarpetFarming]

0:01

[popop3456]

00:00

[XxxTenebraexxX]

Hah, nice...damn good work.

[stonefist911]

my eyes opened extremely wide for an asian male when I saw those broodlings hit those ultras

[fowad27]

Who else thinks there should be a zerg cliffwalking unit? Terrans have reapers, protoss have colossi, what about zerg?? Couldn't they give hydra's an upgrade that let them slither on walls? How cool would that be?

[jminner1679]

@fowad27 Hydras would be way too overpowered if they could walk over cliffs. Notice all the other cliffwalking units can't attack air

[fowad27]

Notice i made it a requirement to get an upgrade before they could cliffwalk, while reapers and colossi have it immediately. it would be no different from upgrading tunneling claws before burrowed roaches can move. you make a valid point though about them being able to shoot air. It doesn't necessarily have to be hydras. it could be roaches. take away the tunneling claws upgrade, since infestors already have that, and put in cliffwalk. At least give the cliffwalk ability to *someone*...

[Vailence136]

@fowad27 giving queens the cliffwalk ability would make zerg AA pretty decent, i also would like to see a zerg cloaked unit that isnt timed and can attack units

[fowad27]

@Vailence136 Maybe, but queens often just stay in their bases, don't they? if you lure them off the creep they're practically useless. I want some kind of raiding unit that can move quickly over obstacles and attack the enemy worker line. i can't image the queen doing that, can you? Now that they cost two supply, roaches seem like the obvious option. 2 supply is way more than the roach as is warrants. Take away the extra range, take away the burrowed movement, and give them the cliffwalk, i say

[Vailence136]

@fowad27 well if u want a good raiding unit you wont find many better than a Muta

[fowad27]

@Vailence136 ok then, another use could be getting a good surround in tight corridors. You would never have to fear a bottleneck. They aren't that great at drone harassment anyways. It takes something like four shots, and they fire slow as eff.

[Atheist269]

LMFAO at the end i was like HOW do you get broodlings that don't expire WTF have i missed something LOL?

[RumbleTea]

very nice, thanks(lol ending)

[Passwordcracks]

very helpful

[brandspankinNEWB]

terran need a flying repair ship :|

[bublik11]

lol at the end

[ColdFusionGames]

These are fantastic! As a zerg player I thank you from the bottom of my heart. :D

[someguyhunter]

hey psy. can you tell me the name of the map? thanks

[darkazn142]

@someguyhunter uhmm.. i think he was using StarCraft 2 Map Editor thats why he has them all possitioned and with vision.

[someguyhunter]

@darkazn142 so he just spawned them in editor and tested the map? that explains it. thx

[cupcakekevin]

For kiting, with stalkers and other units and back from brood war, i prefer patrol move patrol, the animation is just quicker with patrol.

[Grotok]

ahahaahhahaa niiice

[skullflower3]

Ultras didnt get buffed @ the few people saying that. Yeah, the splash against buildings is nice. I dont give a shit about ram. But they seriously nerfed their damage against fucking UNITS. There is no reason for that ever, zerg is already UP. Blizzard went from being developers who made mistakes to being window lickin retarded with that change.

[Daenethacepryde]

definately a lol at the end... I won't spoil it

[Eskn69]

lol wow the broodlings owned the ultras

[SUMMEYWISE]

fat hairy vagina

[DroneLorDD]

LOL WTF i don't get the idea of the last part =.= ultra ? lol why'd they get 1 hit killed ? omfg . anyways all these tutorials are great ! very good ..thanks for sharing too ^ ^

[katondragonrider]

@DroneLorDD he was joking about the ultra because they got nerfed so much

[cblpop]

last fight was cool

[dannyweeks12345]

Most useful SC2 video I have seen, please do more :)

[magicchef]

hahahaaahahhahahahahha. even after reading the comments about the funny ending, it still completely caught me off guard. hilarious. thanks for the tutorial!

[TheMelnTeam]

nicely done. The ling micro will make 6 pool even more asinine XD.

[ManticoreFire]

This is very well done. I'd like to have seen some burrow and muta micro, but this is the best micro video I've seen so far.

Btw... did you guys know that the upcoming 1.1 patch will nerf ultralisks so they don't use the ram attack against buildings and that they have even less bonus damage against armoured units? Go to starcraft2forums to check it out.

[Pisces3124]

@ManticoreFire thats not nerfing, the ram ability doesn't do THAT much more damage, so removing the ability allows ultras to splash damage while attacking buildings

[cephyric]

@ManticoreFire

the removal of ram is a buff in some cases, actually. Seeing as they will now cleave buildings.
