Starcraft 2 Beta - orb's FF/Psi Storm Surround 1v1 Commentary

[PIeSquaredMan]

by today's standards, those ffs SUCK because the overlap.

[Avagantamose]

How is this balance?

[athleticduke]

20 min in and only 2 hatch....? bronze league obv

"Forcefield Doughnut" -TotalBiscuit

[vichetmeng]

Meh.

[Savci008]

But really, noone lets his troops get trapped like that. Noone.

Nowadays they drop anyway.

[TheNightrunner94]

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheNightrunner94]

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

=> rage quit

[Muze42]

2:10 is when the video starts

[ElCapo696]

He didn't need so many ffs... and zerg could've still won that fight with just some zerglings...

[ColacX]

zerg shouldve spread his army in 2

[Vallestad1]

Let's be grateful he didnt comment the entire movie, considering he used two min on intro

[TheMossad921]

damn i wish he fought a bigger army

[kenziefc]

starts at 2:01

[andysib]

did you really need a 2 minute intro to set up a 20 second clip?

jesus

[olu0mg]

Main, painfully awesome to watch. OMGoodness.

[GetY0urAssToMars]

@TheDavidZhouShow Only homosexuals would say GG or GL HF. Sorry but true.

[MariosGuy]

uhhhh " Unfortunately, orbtl has been temporarily locked. All of orbtl's videos will remain hidden until we can resolve the issue. "

on his Ustream...?????

[gesshu213]

Wow go Orb!

[TimEddyHughes]

Except it didn't even matter. The protoss is obviously super far ahead. he has 3 bases, vs the zergs 2. the zerg JUST has banelings... and spines... the protoss has immortals and HT...

[chk428]

Just goes to show how overpowered psionic storm is. Hopefully it gets nerfed soon.

[TitsMcGheex2]

@chk428 its not op at all.

[yeevee]

lol why would the zerg go bangs against a protoss

[hellopellos]

@yeevee half the units are light...?

[bman462]

wow i didnt expect a full circle of ff gg

[sc2able]

Nice used

[hizzlemafizzle]

amazing

[vsadlarry]

omfg that is such a nice use of the FF/psi storm o.O

[AnnaMartinez6239]

played? it yesterday beast game awesome graphics too yupi Me got keys from

InstantStarcraftGame(.)tk

Go for it

[Iamtheexile]

ownage start at 2:16

[plasmathunderdx]

That is how force fields and storm is supposed to be used :) Not surprised of people doing it, more surprised that it was actually done because that takes skill.

Then again in retrospect I think 2-3 storms right off the bat would have done the same. -- one in the front then two in the retreat path.

Banelings have 30hp? thats 1.5 seconds in the storm to kill them.

[buzianyadatutube]

u can shiftclick forcefields? fuuuu

[bioniclemaster1]

i cant believe my computer doesnt have enough ram for this game... FUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCKKK

[Ebnsm]

I nerdgasmed.

[Houck1337]

orb has no respect for his own zealots xD

[azziane]

The toss had time to build and tech for Immortal, Templars (with storm), Observer

The zerg has what? 2-3 Mutas and a bunch of banelings?

Does not seem quite right.

[Shotoran]

@azziane well mutas are gas heavy

as well as morphing in those banelings from zerglings

[Sickan]

so epic <3

[KickBackLip1]

SKIP TO 2:03

[Winstet420]

Thats what he gets for only getting banelings in 20 minutes

[ijockbeast]

Damn that was NICCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!­!!!!

[ilikepiedontu]

Holy god I dont need to hear an 3min explination for a 3:20min vid, just show us how he did it!! T.T

[salviarock666]

this is epic

[metallicaner]

eh is a really cool guy

[Mewi987]

how do i check my fps when i play? any keys like ctrl + or what?

[x3ICEx]

@Mewi987 CTRL+ALT+F

Or run Fraps in the background.

[uoiuo]

omg he left without GGing IT'S IDRA!

[finaldestination3337]

@uoiuo well if its not a good game then he doesn't have to say gg lawl

[buldren0101]

@uoiuo Naw, that's every Zerg player nowadays

[Zulash1]

How the hell does he Micro so fast!? jeeez

[langhalsen]

@Zulash1 You mean throwing down the forcefields? Its just to hold shift and click with mouse..

[x3ICEx]

@langhalsen That doesn't work...

The sentries were attacking, so if you shift+forcefield the sentries will try to kill whatever they were attacking before casting any forcefields. The actual way to do it is F+click for each forcefield. Shift+F only works if the sentries are idle.

[langhalsen]

@x3ICEx True, didn't think of that.

[gazdrovia]

@Zulash1 :S it really isn't that hard when you're using hotkeys, just F click spam, then T click.

[SilentFishy]

I had a feeling orb was going to put forcefields around all those banelings :o

[fargokraft]

wow, dat was really cool. haha XD

[42mity]

Ummm, The forcefields were not needed. It's just fancy.

[ingarsss]

RAGE QUIT

[craziii3]

he saw that many sentries and he still kept the banelings group up :(((

[Panthiest]

Like a toss! ROFL!

[onecentnickel]

@Panthiest LOL

[jzone2006]

@gocelts47 It wasn't a cast... It was him just showing a battle that he witnessed.

[EaZoToP]

Impressive play oO

[memokk]

wow..exellent way to use force field! Its gonna get nerfed in oficial game lol!

[ihavemonkeysinmybutt]

hmm could u use this but instead of of a psi storm it would be a nuke from a ghost? if u were doing a 2v2?

[ucvL]

@ihavemonkeysinmybutt nukes takes 20 sec to hit its target so that would be very innefective most likely

[mlk4life]

Loved it - ty for reposting for us that missed it.. It makes me a little sad Zerg units dont have that much synergy :( Infestor + ? Ultras? lol...

[MrChristouni]

yeah really nice FF

[Csab08]

impressive

[lukabert]

that is the best forcefield use ill probably ever see

[Ahljay88]

My god blizzard nerf it already.. or just give poor zerg an ability to counter it... I have never won a game against a toss player who knows how to use force field as zerg. And don't give me that burrow crap either.. Any player smart enough to use force field is smart enough to have a detector.

[Shotoran]

@Ahljay88

they did nerf it... a lot

like decreasing the radius of it

and some other things but still dude

it's not that hard as a terran get like 1 or 2 ghosts

as zerg im guessing roaches is the best counter to this since

they have a lot of hit points

[Ahljay88]

@Shotoran actually its made to counter roach balls too.. Pretty much all zerg units can't do anything against this... Believe me I've tried everything and searched many platinum replays and so far no zerg counter exists.. I would be ok with them not nerfing it as long as zerg had an option to counter.

[Darwin226]

@Ahljay88 Ultras can step through FFs and PS does very little to roaches. Get your facts straight.

[Ahljay88]

lol... Ultras are so awesome btw.. Like my 2-3 ultras (EXPENSIVE AS FUCK) are going to do shit against a toss army... Show me a video in which ultras do a damn thing against toss and I will give you a break.

[reinux]

i think there's a strong psychological factor to the use of force fields as well.

it makes your opponent feel utterly hopeless.

[Realmruler1]

Hmm it looks like you no longer need mass to win Starcraft games

[w33dOr]

very nice!!!

[zomgl33thaxx]

Wow.

[rescawen]

thats y they have to nerf it

[Caiddenn]

I think zerg could have easily recovered from this... bunch of zergligns would clear up those energyless casters and Immortal. This was purely a rage quit on the zerg's part.

[khem26]

@Caiddenn recover this how? against this many sentries?

if he had army he would of brought it over

if u look at the minimap the protoss already has 3 base

i highly doubt the zerg could of done anything after this fight

[shorty41gtoguy]

@khem26 I agree. That massive ball of banelings was too much of an investment to recover from, considering they were absolutely useless.

[welovelostonline]

starcraftbetakeys [dot] com

[Lifegrows76]

That's ridiculously awesome.

[SeNsaToR]

Ludicrous.

[soulease]

orb may be a cool guy but does he doesnt afraid of anything?

[Bazza37]

does anyone know how to cast forcefield most effectively?

[PowerHeal]

"NOT EVEN A GG"

you realize that nobody GG's when they lose in ladder right? Rofl...

[WorldGamerX]

Sentry Force field = best cast in game next to hunter seeker

[700007123]

How the hell anyone can watch livestream.. it lags like hell.. stops every 2 seconds.. like wtf.

[lamtsite]

@shadowsmirk Its a word with one right definition, and a couple of wrong ones.

[CodeNashor]

I think blizzard should nerf the force field i think as it is just too powerfull that early in the game and right after at tier 2 there comes the psy-storm >_>! My idea is: Make the force fields attackable having like a very very few hit points so that a roach can 1 or 2 hit it! Let me know what you think about that! Peace!

[Shotoran]

damn

some great forcefield placement

[MecMachinic]

now do that with vortex... and ouch.

[epatton1001]

get in overlord + fly over wall = profit

[Nocrob1]

HOLY SHIT

[Krusenik]

wowowwiwa.....

[punwin]

penis

[joshuaaawon]

FF is so ridiculous right now. Holy hell.

[funpoleece]

Its kinda bullshit that you can put a force field on top of a spine crawler.

[TheShaolinBuddha]

@funpoleece No it isn't, it's a force field, idiot.

[funpoleece]

@TheShaolinBuddha So explain why can the spine crawler can attack through the force field and other units cannot you fuking retard?

[TheShaolinBuddha]

@funpoleece speak English, Jesus did you go to special school?

[funpoleece]

@TheShaolinBuddha LOL fuking retard cant respond to the original question cuz hes a fuking idiot.

[TheShaolinBuddha]

@funpoleece I have the game already - in beta. Thats why you do not deserve an explanation, If you cannot understand what a force field is thats your problem, your child mind does not understand logic. Go play with your stickle bricks little boy. X

[TheShaolinBuddha]

@funpoleece Listen i dont want to start an argument with you, but isn't it obvious? A force field can be used against anything, whether its to stop an enemy advance or to contain a unit. Why should a spine crawler just be able to "up-root" and walk past it? that doesn't make any sense! Why should it be able to do that? think about it, Roaches can burrow underneath but thats a different issue. A spine crawler cannot do that, so placing a force filed over it is perfectly acceptable.

[funpoleece]

@TheShaolinBuddha Who said anything about a spine crawler uprooting and moving through the force field? If you watch the video you can see that he puts the force field on top of a spine crawler while the spin crawler is still able to attack through the force field. If a force field is on top of a spine crawler dont you think it would restrict its attack? You're still a fucking retard.

[InfoPoet]

probably your worst nightmare

[babyturtlex]

how is that "amazing"

[rover2341]

Haha, Thats funny.

[lockon99]

where is the link showing it featured by blizzard?

[Banchi]

Rage quit lol :DDDDD

[shinmizux]

hmm, your voice sounds very familiar. you're nucleus/proton aren't you? :O i remember hearing that voice on vent all the time.

[AskJoshy]

@shinmizux HOLY SHIT I AM! Who is this? =D

[derenathor]

@AskJoshy ....well that was mysterious...

[HeIljumper]

orb is a whining woman

[OMFGlearntoplay]

That looked great... really awesome play. But I have to mention... honestly you have to expect 2125 gas of protoss to stomp 1050 gas of zerg easily regardless. He did pick a nice way to do it though.

11 sentry x 100 gas + 5 HT x 150 gas + 1 immort at 200 gas + obs 75 gas (before cost increase)

vs

4 mutas at 100 gas

26 banelings at 25 gas

[IXISIXI]

@OMFGlearntoplay

don't forget the cost of researching psi storm.

[justinusmc1988]

that is soooo sick

[ice1cube]

great vid!!!

[Balgore8]

Fanominal Video, Orb is really great at using Force Fields. He used them very effectively in many other games ive seen, especially against zerg. Keeping roaches out of range from stalkers and stuff like that. Just very interesting/unique style of play Orb has and its nice to see players finding new ways of playing that differ from standard SC1 play.

[sweYoda]

TERRIBLE TERRIBLE DAMAGE!

[brwnie00]

@sweYoda copyright Crota. LOL :D

[DathanielTDK]

Seems like it might have been harder to pull off if the banelings weren't trying to filter their way through all those spine crawlers, which helped to enclose them. Nevertheless, an awesome, awesome play by Orb :)

[tikibaloni]

WHAT!?!?? That 2:00 play is INSANE!!!

[KadajSouba]

Holy shit. But why 2 minuts of chit chat????? I skipped all of it

[razertt]

Fore Field is rigged, it scatters enemy units around it if you cast it direcly on them.

It shouldnt o this...

[Reapent]

thats not.. rigged... you could call it overpowered if you think it is.. but rigged is definitely not the right word.

[DrSmokeTrees]

fuk yeah.

[Adept7777]

Featured by Blizzard :O Nice

[AskJoshy]

@Adept7777 Thanks! I didn't even realize it 'til I saw this comment. It explains the 70 new subscribers. =P

[Adept7777]

Lol np. Grats on getting featured!

[Niosus]

@AskJoshy add another one :P

[lamtsite]

Decimate means reduce by one in ten (ie 10%)

[shadowsmirk]

Decimate is a word with multiple definitions.

[Kantuva]

nice

[Diyaaeddin]

Fuck sake, your "zoom in, zoom out" spam annoyed the fuck outta me.

[KoolAidManOG]

Also, that was super impressive. Orb is a master of the forcefield

[AlicanC]

lol @ raeg quit

[matjohnroe]

WOW. GJ! Looking forward to SC2! Good vid.

[33jit]

It's called smartcast. I'm pretty sure if you select a bunch of sentries and hold shift then press f, you can spam forcefield just by clicking as long as you keep holding shift. It's the same premises as making a unit move around to 20 spots before it stops.

[Phanman012]

Force Field (Hotkey:F), when you press on the hotkey, only one will use it at a time. So if you're really fast clicker and pressing F, you can make a very fast wall.

[Blazur]

His force field usage is over 9000.

[greatturning]

How easy is it to throw down force fields like that? Do you have to select each sentry individually? It seems like that would be too slow but Orb threw down a string of fields in like 2 seconds.

[bchoii]

key (select sentries) (assuming they're hotkeyed)

key (select ff)

click click click click click click

[JaceTay1]

"Impressive. most impressive."

[PenguinsEvil]

He's also very well known for being an extremely sore loser and a huge complainer.

[KoolAidManOG]

Penguins - This is all true, he can get very very angry and whiny. The thing is that he acknowledges it; the title of his LS channel is "world famous combination of nerd rage and sentries!", so I gotta give him a semi-pass for when he gets annoying. :)

[Jonsse]

That was beautiful!!!

[user1542]

This puts the BBQ into WTFLOLBBQ

[marcusrodrigues1]

He didn't do that...... that is impossible!

[RoieTRS]

orb isn't special. You aren't cool. Quit acting like he/you are.

[Grzegrzolka]

Maybe that's why I'm in copper league not in platinium? Impressive.

[symbiot3]

This got me smiling like I got laid by a super model!

[gunart84]

AWESOME !!!

[MrRaptoos]

O_o that hurts....

[Toro953]

YEARS OF WEAR AND TEAR DAMAGE

[shadowzerg]

O_O

[stevenmarqueforlife]

whoaaa

[tFighterPilot]

Terrible terrible damage

[profaa927]

@tFighterPilot Hahahahaha :D I saw what you did there.

[PR0peace]

hahaha, ouch. :D amazing

[ganondorffromhell]

how you did that? you hotkey´d every single one of your units with 1,2,3,and so on.

or ai automaticaly even if you have all units selected will make the spell anyway?

[rapidspit]

@ganondorffromhell

in sc2 you just have to press shift click to spread out cast like yamato could be smart cast to individual units

[TerrorBlack]

@ganondorffromhell google "smart casting"

[TerrorDiv]

you talk to much
