  • god dam it my friend told me hydras suck....

  • your control is extremely annoying

  • I would like this vid, but i don't wanna mess up the 1337

  • 1337 likes lol

  • @damusdand

    its a matt matter of preference but someone has proven 9/10 overlord is better than 11/10 overlord by around 15 minerals.

  • I have a question about the opening of Zerg, why are some players build an extractor at 10/10 supply and spawn a drone, then cancel the extractor, making it 11/10 supply? does this benefit the player in anyway?

  • how do i download husky starcraft?????/

  • kk what should i get first mutas or hydras ????

  • @mcsroyals according to what your oppenent is doing for example: if he has a lot of air troops you get hydras(or if protoss have gateway units you get hydras as well) if he has a lot of ground troops but almost no anti air units you get mutas

  • i never undesttd wer is d strategy

  • imo you need two queens for two hatcheries, one to spread out your creep. Creep is so integral to getting good surrounds and getting to enemy's bases in any sort of decent time on a large map with slow units such as hydras or roaches. Plus, if you had two queens instead of one those early phoenixes would have had no chance.

  • imo you need two queens for two hatcheries, one to spread out your creep. Creep is so integral to getting good surrounds and getting to enemy's bases in any sort of decent time on a large map with slow units such as hydras or roaches.

  • you forgot to keep one drone mining after beeing under attack by a probe..the drone was behind the right mineralfield of your starthatchery.

  • the whole apm thing at the beginning is pointless he basically has his hatch on one hotkey his lord on the other and switches between the two while selecting the drones it doesnt actually do anything however to boost your apm at the beginning when you send your scout (usually at 9) keep your scout and hatch on hotkeys and you can watch your scout while you produce drones and overlords while still mircoeing your scout around the base watch a hotkey tutorial

  • is he talking WHILE playing? omg my skill drops down to zero while talking... well ... it's om 0.1 normaly, but OMG! ;D;D

  • @TicTacToastbrot fyi he's not actually playing right now. He's watching a replay in his player view. At 9:59 he mentions that he's already watched this replay once before, and knows why his opponent had no army when he pushed in with hydras.

  • good, but i dont understand all the apm at start.... just seems like getting cramp b4 ya actual need to micro

  • @AlexZeBeast he is pushing his AMP so he stays alert.

  • cool thanks for the starting build order hd

  • Why the fuck do u spaze out in the start? No skill at all, just weird -.-

  • this will help me in my starcraft 2 futre!

  • Why is he selecting units Over and over again like crazy? To push his APM?

  • @NumidiumsRG

    at the beginning yeah, he's pushing his avg APM up

  • "Pump your queen"

  • def need more of these kind of commentaries. Please do one for toss.

  • you need to tape your self from a side view i wanna see how many your hands move, looks crazy lol

  • Oh, thank you, I need a Zerg guide so bad. I keep getting rushed by people who move really fast. Like 5 min into the game I get rushed by like 15 Zealots. Stuff like this has really broken the game for me and I've started saying I hate it. Maybe a pro strategy like this could help.

  • @LightningLegend12 scout his base :)

  • @nicolim1996 What's one Drone gonna do to prevent a rush?

  • @LightningLegend12 it gives you info. on what he's gonna do and therefore you can prepare for it, if he's gonna rush you build a spawning pool asap and go build some lings or a spnie crawler if you survive the rush you can win because people who rush usually have an eco. disadvantage against you and against zerg you'd want to try to keep their eco. as low as possible and make yours high

  • @LightningLegend12 First off Scout his base.

    Second, this build isn't for rushes, it's designed for mid-long games. if you scout a rush, get ur spawning pool earlier at about 12 or 13 and get out zerglings and ur queen

  • impressive macro/micro skills. i didnt learn anything i didnt know already, but its always fun to watch someone who is lots better than me at the actual clicking part ^_^

  • damn i love HDstarcraft

  • 6:40 did he say enough psi???!!?

  • Very helpful!

  • I love the way that you try to proof that you're pro player with your APM. I mean... really? you need to do that? That's like Suprise Butt Secks without a SUPRiSEEEEE

  • @NeroEighty There's nothing wrong with spamming during the early stages of the game...

  • ive just noticed but everyone only builds one vespian gas thing in each base why?

  • how are you setting multiple hatcheries to a single hotkey. I do a shift click to add it but it never works.

  • @WorldandWarfare you have to select the original group first before you add it

  • That Drone sounded really pissed off at 1:40

  • i have a question for all you and it is how long did it take you guys to first start being good at zerg? cause im finding it really hard to play with them but i like them soo much :D

  • easy start, but when the macro gets into play i get fucked

  • their gonna keep showing these fucking ads untils theirs one your interested in,that means since their still showing them,some fuckers actually like them

  • how do u macro so good?

    i end up with like 2000 leftover minerals lol.

  • So annoying watching people click everywhere just to artificially raise their APM.....aka their e-peen

  • @hunter1801 do u know how many people do that? just get over it. it's used to warm up your fingers for battles later on. or get used to the sensitivity of your mouse if you just start playing your first match of the day. I do it, almost all the pros i see do it, husky,hd,psy do it. it's enevitable. do it yourself :P

  • Say no to adds!

  • Why do you keep drawing boxes over the workers for no apparent reason? 

  • 35 people can't play Zerg.

  • How I so hate compulsive clickers...

  • how do you break a normal wall in with the gate/ zealot or sentry?

    i can't seem to get in and then they just macro to voids D:

  • When does he tech to lair and build his hydralisk den? also what is he building prior to this happening Zerglings?

  • @Duncanmlg13 he teched up at 4:40, Pool -> Lair -> H-Den

  • This game is awesome guys get it at blackhatt..com

  • wat a game=((((

  • thanks for the help HD,feel much more confident in my early game now keep it up!

  • @MultiKaisersoze You have no clue what you're talking about, if they harass early enough to be before you're set up, your drones can stop it themselves. Failing that, your queen will be out before anything resembling an attack can get there, and that early in the game, the queen reigns supreme

  • This whole "High APM" means nothing if 450 out of 500 actions were just clicking stuff over and over without doing anything. I probably have a VERY low APM, but the actions I do preform actually count for something.

  • KLICKSPAAM

  • ok i am new to starcraft still bronze league .. hehe.. i like theese kind of vids.. but would you please stop clicking everything mutliple times you not even giving new orders.. just looks like your clicking becuse you can?? very hard to follow.. and its probly cus i am a noob..

  • @majorenDK its becasue your a noob

  • @aaronbartlett wow you mustard up enough balls to troll somone who allready said he is a noob at startcraft.. wow.. "claps" thats amazing you were able to hit the enter......

  • @majorenDK "spamming" on clicking like that is mainly based on preference of the starcraft player. those who do that do it because it keeps them "hyped up" in the game and concentrated into the action of the game. it's sorta like warming up before a big race. he is spamming to prepare himself for future attacks.

  • @jcindass89 thanks i apriciate it

  • dude thats fucking hilarious i would have never thought of that lol nice

    spewing creep on their expansion wow

  • intense game brah

  • why zerglings ? arent roaches stronger vs protoss?

    roaches then lair and back up with infestors and hydras?

  • @246trinitrotoluene

    ling counters stalkers. unless a huge stalker army where you cant get a surround.

  • how long does a pause last?

  • you like highlighting all your probes for no reason dont you

  • Please make more tutorials

  • May i ask a very important question. Is it normal to use the arrow keys to move the screen around?

  • @Sakkboi i do that while im microing(controlling units), but not when macroing(building units/bases)

  • @IceHarmony damn, i almost always have it on there. but i'll change that ha

  • @Sakkboi No you need to use your mouse to move the screen. Being able to use the keyboard binds with your left hand is pretty vital.

  • hey HDstarcraft i want my graphics to be like ours but when i set them on any other setting then low it lags badly and help?

  • man this is discouraging no matter how hard i try i still get my butt kicked online why what else can i do i watch a bunch of HD and huskies i read bolgs and play a bunch yet still get my but kicked

  • @anhtransport play against a.i on medium, practise 1 specific race and watch commentaries, thats what helped me. i still suck though for sure :P my and my 2 friends PTP are rank 12 bronze in 3v3 as of now. haha

  • @anhtransport

    I know what you mean man. When I started out I was on like, 10 losses, 2 wins, or even worse. Trust me, you'll eventually get the hang of the game. When I started scouting, and watching for specific strats I started OWNING. I'm still in bronze league but now my win/loss ration is about 1, which is still rising.

  • @anhtransport I started a week ago and full practice a good 2-3 hours a day on this and I see improvements now. Micro seems to be the hardest while keeping your base under control being zerg is a lot of work. You have queens to pump larva then produce the army and worry the battlefields plus its not 1 hatchery LOL!! Well how I practice is with medium AI computers try and macro controlling the bases first then go into micro. Make enough army to attack the AI computer then quickly go back to base

  • Hey HD.

    Can you tel me how to get replays of high level Zerg like Idra and Madfrog

  • @janusxx2 Google is your best friend.

  • Thanks for the video, im trying to be a Zerg player but i always loose :(

  • So why are you going fucking crazy with the highlighting.

  • what is with all the clicking? i have never understood why people try to get the APM up to like 300 in the first min of the game. you are not doing anything. tell me if i am wrong.

  • @IVGCanadianArmy because when u spam the drone key then you make the drone as soon as you hit 50 minerals rather than waiting for your eyes to see that its 50 minerals.. that small gap lets your drone hatch about 1-2 seconds faster... do that about 20 times for drones and units and ull be 20 seconds ahead of your opponent who is starring at the mineral number :]

  • i have some questions about star craft if someone can add me and msg me plzz i want to get into this game but i have some basic questions some plzz help

  • thanks! this video was really helpfull

  • People overclick for two reasons:

    1: they "warm-up their hands"... In Korean starcraft proleagues almost all pros do this.

    2: raise apm :D

  • wow so much clicking

  • 0:43 "So if you guys can see right here", um we actually can't

  • Is it me or this protoss sucks hydras peniss? o.O

    Nice video HDsc, :)  I really enjoy your videos because your comments and the HD ofc.

  • boring so boring

    

  • holy shit man, do you memorize ALL the macro's?

  • @db170909k lol thats what im thinking!! im a pretty much noobin it up so memorizing all these macros seems pretty dam taxing.... if this is what i have to do then my mind is blown QQ

  • Thanks a lot for this. I never really realized how pivotal getting early queens and smashing spawn larvae was. This is a massive improvement to my play with such simple tricks.

    Thanks.

  • i'd lvoe to know how he switches the camera back and forth so fast. I know if you triple hit a control key that the unit is assigned to it will go to that unit. aka if you have a unit on ur gorup 3 and u hit 3 a bunch of times it will go to that group. but i don't think this is what he's doing. Can any1 tell me? there is another way to do it but that's for setting camera save zones and it's kinda hard to do so i don't htink thats it either

  • Seems like a good amount of your clicks were un-needed, not sure why some people over click.

  • Hey im just wondering how you alternate between your hatchery and overlord so quickly, and fast macroing in general. Are you only switching between control groups, or using the spacebar/some other key? And what is the best keyboard shortcut to be able to keep up with constantly producing workers? I never use the spacebar, only control groups. Sorry if these are bad questions :)

  • great tutorial !!! so that's how it's done

  • ShamWow!

  • whats with the usless unit selecting its annoying

  • god i cant watch this vid stop spaming APM if youre doing a tutorial pls come down its so annoying

  • Im getting pretty good with the zerg (for my leuege) but still i learned from this. I usualy go for 9pool 15 roach. And late expand. But i will try this one to!

  • I know this is a bit old, but you dont always want your queen to have 0 energy.

    Sometimes you want to save up energy for Transfuses.

  • I know this commentary is a bit old, but you dont "always" want your queen to have energy.

    In cases where yould like to Transfuse is best to keep your queen at full energy.

  • that protoss is an idiot he got 4 freaking zealot how would u handle it if he direct atack like a normal player?

  • yeah i cant even tell what the hell youre doing all i see is green box after green box

  • A near loss at the start? Via how? It was a phoenix / Stalker+Few Zealot push.

    Eh Kinda in my experiance as a toss user I dont like to auto build that many Phoenix's 2 is just enough no more ANY more and you waste a bunch of money. Coz there going to die no matter what a Early push with zealots as well would help but not that much.

    anyways fyi I dont see him losing early game he was only pressured.

  • I almost go a seizure at the begining, but still, pretty good

  • Don't apologize man. this is what I've been looking for (except from the protoss side vs zerg FTW) :( GG

  • The two drone HD used to attack the probe at 2:20, the one that is injured never mines the rest of the game. That drone needs to be fired.

  • @aopfer22 no he is on dissability.

  • He has high APM .... Thats for sure ^_^

  • Thanks man. Good video

  • lol guys, its recorded and hes commenting on it, he can not litterally go through the options and move his mouse that fast, the human mind takes longer to react then this is taking Duh. But yes its the combination of microing , but i agree if your going to make a video for new players slow the recording down

  • The reason he spams in the beginning is because thats what you do in the higher levels, its a warmup for your fingers just as football players warm up. Youll learn.

  • Seriously, are you hyperactive? You don't have to select all your drones every .5 seconds... But thanks for the guide anyways.

  • Fuck you youtube for making ad refresh proof

  • so wait... should you select all your units and hotkey em and then micro with tab?

    man i suck at this game...

  • No need to fake your apm by spamming to 300.

  • fucking chill with the flame, you guys should be more focused on the tips he gives with his commentary as he plays . . if you want to see everything go download replays and watch those at your own pace

  • hahaha do u really think that u are a pro only because u continue to select the fucking hachery and the overlord??? and stop shaking the camera..

  • How did you distribute the amount of larvaes between drones and hydras? Most games I lose because of the lack of drones in my bases.

  • i really cant believe after i just beat the terrean camp that there is no Zerg campaign with this game. was anybody else as wtf as i am right, wtgdf

  • dude holy crap keep ur camera fixed lol

    serious skills though...

  • dude holy crap keep ur camera fixed unless you have to move somewhere

  • Can't you just stop clicking so much for a tutorial video?

  • what the fck does macroed mean? :(

  • @Iamnoguitarist Macro = Macromanagement which means the act and control over your production and production of units, spent/unspent resources and how you collect more such as expansions. That is why HD and Husky and all other great players gets out units while battleing since they have good micro and can do it.

  • ..I should clarify. Te beginning was VERY annoying..

  • STOP MOVING YOUR MOUSE!

  • here's a good channel for protoss strategy: youtube.com/user/kunfosc2

  • i wish Blizzard made out Starcraft the movie :D it would be? AWESOME yay I have cdkey on

    NowStarcraftGame(dot)tk

    Go for it

  • awesome sc2 guides, tutorials and strategies, watch this video - youtube.com/watch?v=SNMAYSP8ze­0

  • Well, units are good, only VIKING units could be little? troublesome:( , if it will be upgraded to air mode, can it get back to groung mode or its constant effect? yay I received cdkey from

    ObtainStarcraftRetailGame[.]tk

    Go for it

  • @PatriciaCrawford2819 Vikings are never upgraded to be flying or ground, that is an ability they have from the start. They come out as flying and you can switch to "assult" mode to land and shoot ground units anytime and switch back to flying whenever you want. Note though that as flying Viking you can't shoot down ground, and as on the ground "assult mode" you can't shoot air units.

  • I really like this style of posting :D Do a lot more of these.

  • really appreciate the tutorial. it is great learning material for any newcomer to SC2 like myself. thanks.

  • lol i love how reapers? die they fly around and blow up

  • Oh dear lord? this game is going to be amazing!

  • try the zerg ling rocket up grade it can serioysly merders a nexis

  • Cool, to get the game i used this /watch?v=gDeANu87fQ4

  • Cool, to get the game i used this /watch?v=gDeANu87fQ4

  • /watch?v=gDeANu87fQ4 This one works

  • fucking hate ads

  • All the view shifting makes me nauseous.

  • This is too complicated for someone who's never played Starcraft..just sayin

  • @mattStarcraft you just name the top 3. lol

  • ya seriously hd, i know some people spam and there is nothing wrong with that, but i would say just play against an easy ai and take it slow if you really wanna help the noobs out

    and to everyone whos asking which race is best: THEY ALL KICK ASS!!! thats why i play random :P

  • become a better sc2 player, check out these strats, tuts and build orders for terran, zerg and protoss - youtube.com/watch?v=SNMAYSP8ze­0

  • If that protoss player had any brains that fast expansion would have killed you.

  • @mattStarcraft In a game like that, there shouldn't be a race superior than an other. So choose a race that feets you if it was the point of your question.

  • are you using the keyboard to view each of your characters and to select the various items in the lower right screen? I can't move my mouse that quick.

  • I literally am having trouble watching this past the one minute mark. DUDE SLOW THE FUCK DOWN! If you are trying o do a tutorial for nubs at-least let us see what the fuck your doing.

  • @sideous3 QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ

  • @sideous3 He's just warming up his fingers and keeping his APM high. Chill out noob.

  • @sideous3 he cant

    when your at such a high level, if you slow down, you lose

  • @sideous3 with love, yes lol? bit harsh sounding brotha.

  • @sideous3 ...

  • @sideous3 I enjoyed it a lot...being a sc1 player my apm is at a much higher level than my knowledge of builds and little tricks allow me to play at. Its not a noob tutorial, its a intro to new zerg strategy. This helped me see what works for zerg in sc2 a lot better.

  • @sideous3 It's not hard to figure out that at your 9th drone you make an overlord, and continue to make them till you hit 14.

  • @sideous3 this isn't really a video for beginners it's more for ppl that already know how to play at a gold-platinum level. for beginners i suggest you play against computers to learn what buildings are what and what units can do what.

  • @sideous3 how can he slow down the game.. he would lose to the opponent if he went slow haha
