METAL GEAR SOLID MUSIC AT 12 MINUTES WOOOOO

[miguelbautista1]

Thats why I hate roaches.

[Ihfawyuk]

Damn TB is pro with Zerg

[thingsforeverrr]

its unbelieveable how much tb keeps selecting overlords with army everytime he boxes even part of it

[qwas12348gr5]

PLAY PROTOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[qwas12348gr5]

Holy crap, this is annoying. This guy is supposed to be in silver league in your region??? In NA this guy would be in low bronze -_-

[DarkKnightMorgan]

How is it exactly that North American Bronze players I face play better than the European Silver Leage players you face? Does not compute.

[qwas12348gr5]

@DarkKnightMorgan

I couldn't agree more. On Youtube I always see bronze and silver league players being so damn bad but when I play and watch the replays of my own matches thy're so much better... It's the same for the South-East-Asian server. It suuuuuucks.

[DarkKnightMorgan]

@qwas12348gr5 Sure, bronze and silver league players tend to generally have 1 play and 1 play only under their belt to kill you with, but those plays tend to be very hard to stop. Sure, pro gamers run circles around them, but that doesn't mean that they're bad, that just shows how much closer pro-gamers are to the skill cieling of SC2 than people in bronze and silver.

[qwas12348gr5]

@DarkKnightMorgan

I guess that's true lol.

[night4345]

all your mineral lines are belong to TotalBiscuit!

[MrEnderman25]

i thought the first match was brillant

[TheBuugar]

since when was TB a zerg player?

[Killtacboy]

@TheBuugar Since I found out there is a God.

[qwas12348gr5]

@TheBuugar

A couple weeks ago or so.

[shrillz]

ok so he hotkeys the queens and then injects using the minimap? Can Protoss use that with chronoboost????

[qwas12348gr5]

@shrillz

Yes, Zerg can do that. I think Protoss can use that with chrono boost. But wouldn't that be incredibly stupid? Think about it, for zerg all you inject on is hatcheries; thy're easy to see on the minimap and if you misclick it's okay. But for Protoss it's hard to tell which of your production buildings is which so you might click on the wrong one on the minimap. And even if you do know which ones are which then if you misclick you'll boost the wrong thing. So I would'nt recommend it.

[Chris96Jones]

from 13:00 to 16:00 is that the mgs theme song (sc2 noob here)?

[ThisTroper1]

@Chris96Jones yes metal gear

TB loves to use other music in his shows

[MrNinjaMuffins]

TotalBiscuit can you help me with this problem? Whenever i play with my freinds all they do is use Thors on me......what can i do to stop them?

[ThisTroper1]

@MrNinjaMuffins ling?

[AmericanPride771]

@MrNinjaMuffins dont give them enough time to get thors. If they get thors and u are zerg, use infestors and sneaky tactics. If your toss, use dts(terran players rarely bring detection). If you're terran, either make more thors then them, use hoards of BCs and banshees, or use ghosts like a mad man......

[SsbbMarth1719]

" i like to call it the double bluff nydus" Or you just changed your mind, tb, we know you too well.

[PROz8998]

Santa baby ;)

[ThatWhichAssasinates]

Nice first game!

[LeMechung]

That first song is from Phantasy Star Online! I loved that game!

[DeathWing03]

Sons of Liberty theme FTW XD

[DeathWing03]

Sons of Liberty theme FTW XD

[completeshaman]

Creep spread FTW



[nerfe02]

moar creepspread!!



[DemonBait]

Metal Gear Zerg: Bainlings of the Patriots

[TheDrew4321]

Almost watch real SC2 playing, then I decided ridiculous failures and broken dreams would be better.

[themguyman1]

wait when did TB star tplaying zerg?

[Username123456789DuH]

TB has fun playing silver zerg ladder when i just rage and tryhard =(

[Jarel8787]

MGS sound track T_T

im sad coz of MGS:rising....

[TheAsianStarcraft]

Total Archives For Dark and High Biscuits :D

[Oddity5151]

2nd game no Drop Harass makes me sad as a T player :(

I suppose muta can shut it down but time it with those attacks on the 3rd hatchery and bingo there is some damage son!

[DamnDaimen]

So much rancid butter.

[Davivd2]

TB you have less queens than basses hotkeyed to a control group. Your injects are forcing one of those queens to inject a base it's near and then walk to another base and inject it. Don't forget to hotkey all of your queens. Pls thumbs up so TB sees this.

[ThisTroper1]

@Davivd2 he doesnt read comments, so no thumbs for you (i didnt downvote either since its good advice :p)

[night4345]

@ThisTroper1 but he does have people what read comments and tell him if it's good advice/ideas

[chevelle1258]

PSO music?

[FizzTimeLemonade]

its not luffy totalbiscuit, "its loo-fi-e".

[snowulf]

I like the PSO music, the nostalgia was awesome.

[Makrillol]

u wanna know why you couldnt kill that shitty marine/marauder group? you focus target with lings -.-

[vVulle]

nice first game...

[Rekijan]

If you want to preview xsplit settings offline you could always opt to broadcast "Local Recording" I think.

[SketchAndEtch]

My face when TB plays zerg ,like 2x better than he played terran

[Kneipelix]

11:50 SURPRISE-button

[messi996]

Fuck ya MGS Theme:D. Sad what they did to it, when the concept they showed us in 2010 looked so cool:(

[awell211]

lol SURPRISE! this is why burrowed roaches are awesome

[Jessibelle1231]

That first match was really well played, I've been watching you and Day9 for ages without actually ladder'ing myself, but that game has inspired me to take the plunge and give it a go. Long live Zerg!

[L0RDH00D]

can an observer see burrowed units? if so that protoss coulda won

[emikochan13]

guess i'm not sleeping.

[jaratt85]

what is with tb's worgen pic for his profile? that is so cool

[AndreasFjordstig]

Epic intromatch!

[DebateMeTheists]

peddle faster. fuck me thats funny.

[typhon704]

When did tb change to zerg?

[MegaMrkeks]

@typhon704 he had a zerg lesson with liquidsheth he learned him zerg now TB loves it <----- at least i think he loves zerg

[J0KER1230]

42:50 I was just waiting for it.

[Darzaire]

Why do so many people thumbs up comments that are replies? Is this a conspiracy or something?

[MichaelinaPandasuit]

lol this is awesome TB also plays Zerg =3

[karrotlord]

Are the places where the larva spawn are Horde symbols?

[mustpickname]

That burrow roach ambush in the first game brought a tear to my eye. So beautiful.

[BloodSurreal]

TB your zergling control is terrible..Do not single target attack with them..They will simply run in circles. Set a move point near the enemy force and press "S" to stop, let the AI decide what to attack.

[Tobeh]

Can anyone tell me the name of the song playing ~13:30-14:00? Takes up more time but that's the most notable part for me.

[Tobeh]

@Tobeh I know it's an MGS song, but don't know which one or if it's a remix.

[PhilTheTree]

@Tobeh Theme from Metal Gear Solid 2, I also heard a bit of Old Snake so it might be MGS4 too.

[skyalchemist0]

MASS MUTA DOOO ITTT



[Goricgamer]

thumbs up!

[ghelyar]

Low level zerg against protoss you can just go for hydras (with some roach/ling meat shields). The counter is colossus with forcefield but low level forcefields are generally so bad that you can ignore them and snipe the colossus (shift queue them) then hydras eat up gateway units really fast. The relatively slow hydra speed makes almost no difference in low level play either.

[556jaybird]

great now i have to search for FlubGlub21's comment

[biskus]

loving the MGS tunes in the background TB :)

[TheReapergod36]

No episode 6 :(?

[chronogearftw]

thumbs up for mgs2 main theme!

[TheBaxstabber]

I LOVE how total biscuit is now using zerg :).

[kafthefigther]

Tb,attack move dont just move.

[nihilost]

Seeing this I seem to remeber a far mor irritated TB screaming in agony as a bunch of mutas and banelings rolled over his whole terran army. Shoe totaly on other foot now and I'm loving it!

[Ranakastrasz]

@nihilost I was thinking the same thing.

"Do something useful.. Planitary fortress..

AHHHHHHHHHHH BANELINGS! Ahhhhh....

gg"

Yea, Just wait till He fights A terran using mass drops.

[steampunkerella]

glad zerg is working for you tb

[killakingcobra1997]

and this is why burrowed roaches are awesome :D

[DennisVlaanderen]

epic hold at 11:30

[AshWattBoy]

Am I the only one who noticed he's missed out Showcraft 6? Mis named or un uploaded?

[GaiaProtector]

TB y u no creep spread?

[AkilZodiac]

@GaiaProtector until he figures out to make more drones, he shouldnt focus on his creep spread.

[teqrevisited]

If anyone could tell me what the first track is I'd appreciate it.

[TheFrostedCereal]

I really wish I wasn't totally shit at SC2 :(

[ThePwnerdude]

TB in metalopolis, u should fly your first overlord in that little void between bases so later u can go scout with it. Makes things alot easier :D

[artexaproductions]

Pedal faster Luffy!!

[MarcusTheAbsolute]

We have the Biscuitcruiser...we have the Bainling. Now we need a custom TB Protoss unit.

[hellzcrusader]

@MarcusTheAbsolute Blinkscuits? :D

[GaiaProtector]

@MarcusTheAbsolute I thought the Naidus clowncar was TB's custom zerg

[Rurike]

@MarcusTheAbsolute TBforever? = immortal

[GentlemanFumes]

@MarcusTheAbsolute Biscuitship / Arcjohn ?? 

[xXmamalamaXx]

@MarcusTheAbsolute Cynicollosus?

[sbrown480]

@MarcusTheAbsolute I agree im thinking of something along the lines of TB templar!

[LohenArc]

@MarcusTheAbsolute Bain rays? Motherbain?

[TophatTea]

@MarcusTheAbsolute A Warp Biscuit.

[AzzaradinBT]

@MarcusTheAbsolute Johnossus?

[BobombBrigade]

SURPRISE! Best zerg surprise party ever

[ZKoftherebellion]

You couldn't have worded what ZvZ is better TB.

[1984ProGamer]

you sound much happier playing zerg than terran

[LeonusStawalker]

The end of the first game was timed PERFECTLY with the song! It made it so epic!

[4nc3st0r]

anyone know the music from 23:20 to 27:30?

[Adu767]

Both top comments are responding to FlubGlub21.

And so the hunt begins... *Ctrl-F*

[BlitZWTF]

@Adu767

Oh my god, i love you. I had no idea chrome had this.

[ZKoftherebellion]

what, tb's back to silver? What happened?

[Minalear]

@ZKoftherebellion He was gold on Terran, but he's a silver player with Zerg.

[ralphanator4]

@ZKoftherebellion He switched to zerg

[TheAAbottom]

where did "INJECT" go ? :c

[bloodychan]

the moment when metal gear OST is on and you sneak in with roaches :3

[Equalitro]

Where is Showcraft Episode 6? We want Showcraft Episode 6

[MrStradMaster]

well, tb finally found his race.

[iZergCraft]

LOL he's spookier bad! I love TB!

[Diceman82]

huh was that phantasy star online i heard in the backround?

[night4345]

TB plays zerg now?

[StArCrAfTmELiKeZZzzZ]

the music at 28.07 is that the menu music from the gamecube game Fantasy star episode 1&2 online?

[NedimOrton]

you are good with zerg i like that

[MrVlogman101]

1:00 turn on your captions and lol :P

[TheFivegoodemperors]

Always need lings to engage at the same time as your baneling, they hold them in place and clean up whats left after the banelings do their job.

[azza943]

Uhh.. where is episode 6? I only see it going from 5 to 7 ;s

[lookitsmyvideo]

@azza943 episode 6 was the RageQuit version, if i remember

[azza943]

@lookitsmyvideo oh. I must've missed that.

[BrokenString18]

i just started watching SC, what do overlords do?

[Ascate]

@BrokenString18 they provide supply ;) so you can build more units, try to visit starcraft wiki

[BrokenString18]

@Ascate thank you for the info : )

[idjles]

@BrokenString18 Overlords do lots of things.

1. They increase your unit capacity by 8 - so you MUST build many.

2. They can see, so fly them to your enemy base early to see what he is doing.

3. They can produce creep - so build a creep highway for (slow) queens and hydralisks, or to allow creep tumours to "jump" up/down cliffs.

4. upgrade to carry units - 8 zerglings or 1 ultralisk

5. upgrade to overseers which are faster and can spawn changelings and contaminate

[BrokenString18]

@idjles thanks for the info : ))

[NedimOrton]

you should used stop control @ about 8:00 mins and spred creep.....but there is no point to write this cause TB hates comments and wont read it :( i hate trolls who made TB hate comments

[SturFriedBrains]

so battle craft=Pylon wars?

[DepressedPsycho]

Got some bad arse Frank Klepacki in the backround.

[egill12]

derp.

[perasturiaadastra]

In the second game you would've done much more dmg if you had researched baneling speed. Because you didnt most banelings didnt reach the marines.(Sorry i am not a native english speaker. Please keep any mistakes you find :P )

[EpicFlyingCat]

I'm getting twenty win streaks as a Bronze zerg, often Silver players, and it wont promote me. What the hell do I do.

[Klaisak]

Metal Gear Solid theme at 13:00

[whipydip99]

Yes, TB is a zerg player now.

[MadeinHell2]

"pretend to nydus, than don't, than nydus"

Yep that pretty much sums up that strategy.

[childrenofbodomfan74]

mgs theme in the background^^

[SturFriedBrains]

... I tryed to nytos for the first time yesterday... Instead of sending all my guys to the enemy base, I accidently clicked unload all, and I had them trapped behind the spire that I had just finished building, the mineral line, and the edge of my main :(

[Theicemonkeyjr]

I love the zerg building animations.

[SturFriedBrains]

I'm a total newb (bronze) and I just freakin learned that I can put my queen on a macro, then instead of going back to my hatch, I just click the target where I want to larva inject on the mini map... my game will get so much better now! It took me so much time to get to the hatch, then click on queen, click "v" then the hatch again.... now it ull' take like 1 sec!!! (ONCE AGAIN IM BRONZE LOL)

[BrendanJTucker]

Surprisee!

See, this is why burrow is awesome

[haveadot]

It looks like the larva injects in the 2nd game were making the queens go between bases.

[Dranzogger]

I used to play zerg, then I took an arrow to the knee.

[DEATHLORRD925]

i have done a proxy hatchery and its heck a funny while the enemy is pissed off im just like lolz

[devastator325]

that terran doesn't like nydus worms or units running all over his base shouting kekekekekekeke

[ShaggyStarcraft]

What I've always noticed with TB is his creative play. He employs tactics or abilities that you don't see very often in the meta game. Not that they are bad, just underused.

[Dranzogger]

@ShaggyStarcraft he can do it because everyone he plays against is pretty bad, none of this would work in the metagame. they are bad, but tb has high gold level mechanics against silver players so he can do things like he does.

[Nethertar]

Sorry but he was totaly retarded this time.

[MrKittyClawz]

I used to go hatch first, but then I took a 2rax to the face

[CactusJuiceMagic]

Seeing TB actually play is a lot more fun than watching him cast. Althought both are very entertaining,

[Eruoso]

Is he in silver league or in platinum?

[Nzill]

@Eruoso Platinum.

[mastajosh]

silver, he says throughput the vid that it works for lower levels

[Sean60001]

@Eruoso silver. platinum has an eagle in the midle of the decal.

[UberGamerLeeway]

woah TB should be like Plat zerg

[chrisssssseee]

its better to press a then move so they do an attack move and attack everything in the way ;)

[bami2]

It's great seeing TB enjoy starcraft again :o

[DECHEFKING1]

u got some sexy controlgroups btw

[PvPFreakZ]

Was I the only one who heard Metal Gear Solid suddenly play in the background?

[TheBlackPrinceIII]

I wish he would not focus fire with his whole army on a unit that is not even in range so his units spas out and die :/

[DECHEFKING1]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaa sry tryin to learn terran.

[atilathebum]

"Did he kill my queen? this guy is so mean! I cant believe he killed my queen" oh TB, you poet

[thehumor]

did tb switch to zerg?

WHY?

[MrXhukari]

@thehumor TB was getting disgruntled with SC2, so started Showcraft. In one of the early episodes he had someone coach him on how to play Zerg, after which he gave them another go, but coachless.

They've stuck since.

[Kynamitem0]

@MrXhukari It was Liquid Sheth. :)

[MrXhukari]

@Kynamitem0 Thank you for the heads up :)

[atilathebum]

epic music at perfect time in the end of the first game :D

[miftzor]

viever 313 <3
