Incredible storm drops from MvPGenius

[nortorius]

Those storms were incredible! I don't know if it's because I'm high or not, but I laughed until I cried on the slowdown of "THERE'S STORMS INSIDE THAT PRISMMMMMMM." On second thought, it's definitely because I was high. AWESOME storms though WOW

[S4Overwin]

dat flank

[BlackSheepWall107]

"There's Storms inside that Prism!'

[saneidiot21]

Uh... you guys could apply this kind of logic to a Terran play too couldn't you? You know, do the same thing except with Medivac or Ghost cloaked.

[ddogthepimp]

@saneidiot21 except EMPs dont do dmg... and are easily avoided with feedback...

[saneidiot21]

@ddogthepimp

EMPs take away 100 shields and energy. They also have longer range than feedback. And with cloak you can't feedback them.

[Gemquist]

@ddogthepimp When my DTS can use storm, then we'll have the whole Ghost vs Templar imba debate.

[ddogthepimp]

@Gemquist WHAT? DTs will never get storm... what does your statement have anything to do with anything?

[Gemquist]

@ddogthepimp Ghosts not only have EMP, which admittedly doesn't do health, but shield damage, outrange feedback, and are also cloaked.

[Yoshi17th]

@Gemquist

just saying ghosts are supposed to counter HTs

[iLLyNada]

@saneidiot21 Feedback on that medivac could ruin a terran's day

[saneidiot21]

@iLLyNada

Yeah, maybe.

[Yoshi17th]

@saneidiot21

but a medivac is too slow to use, though cloak works good enough ofc xD

[gmanthebeast1]

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[pepsi89]

press the snowing effect and u can see snow storm! :D

[jouricarver]

the APM needed to do that was insane

[An2quamaraN]

@jouricarver the APM needed by terran: 20

[iRavenTM]

sigh. any reason why protoss hasnt been nerfed yet? Is blizzard so afraid that the bornze level community will be in outrage if terran gets buffed and quit?? ....ffs.

[dodelol]

@iRavenTM :O

you seem to have a lot of experience in bronze, look at the amount of t in gls last seasons

[iRavenTM]

@dodelol Never played in bronze in my life, my very first 5 sc2 game placed me in gold, since then i have been consistently top masters. The amount of terran in previous GSL season was a result of the poor format, not racial imbalances. Also, There are a lot of terran players that are just plain better than everyone else. MVP, MMA ring any bells?

[yamum0433]

@iRavenTM wat do u mean nerfed yet? they fucken nerfed storm too many times ever since sc1 and the apm required to do that is much more than pressing T and A.

[iRavenTM]

@yamum0433 I'm not talking about storm in all honesty, but more the race in general. At the very least chargelots in pvt. And the APM is exactly as followed. 1A (main army) - 2 (select Warpprism) - D(click on WP) - 3 (select HTs) T

Simple.

[zitiwalksaw]

@iRavenTM lol wut? take thors or marines and a-move into the base and win in bronze league

[iRavenTM]

@zitiwalksaw uh???????????? i'm not in bronze for one, and that is a terrible strat the gets raped by zealots, 6 range immortals and feedbacks.

[XecGoon]

@iRavenTM True. If not supported by anything else, Marine/Thor gets demolished by chargelots + Immortal/HT/Archons.

But, if Terran makes 2 port banshees to go with that, even Blink Stalker/Templar + chargelot/Immortal cannot kill this. You require Phoenixes or Void Rays. There is a macro build version of Thor marine banshee raven out there with lategame ghosts + vikings. It's extremely powerful.

[iRavenTM]

@XecGoon I guess but, Feedback/storm destroys vikings/banshees. I have a good replay of QXC doing similar to what you described against whitera. Blink stalkers and HT's counter it quite nicely.

[Yoshi17th]

@iRavenTM

I know what replay you are talking about and I would like to say that KA is now gone and that QXC did not play nearly as well as that style allows. For a pro, his micro was disgustingly painful to watch. He stacked SO many units and basically he was playing BIO style but with air units. It's risky trying to rush to air, but once you get there, given the right map, it is definitely a viable strategy (there is no hard counter nor critical flaw, though it is definitely "harder" to use).

[Yoshi17th]

@iRavenTM

Well I *think* I know which one, you are talking about the one where QXC goes Air on Metal right?

[iRavenTM]

@Yoshi17th Honestly it doesn't matter. Show me a "pro" level replay off mass air / mech against toss. There's maybe 2 maps on the current pool where mech is possible. But it's so easy for protoss to properly counter it its a risk.

[Yoshi17th]

@iRavenTM

Well I've heard many times of it being done successfully on KR GM level (whether it only "works" as an occasional surprise strategy or as a "solid" build is a different story though) but I guess I wasn't thinking of the right one. Check out the qxc vs WhiteRa game casted by Husky. You can see my analysis and explanations in the most recent comments saying why it works and that, without qxc's huge mistakes, he would have won.

[xaositectz]

@Yoshi17th white-ra doesn't represent the highest level though. high templar+chargelots counter mech too well to make it a viable endgame strategy. feedback counters raven, banshee, bc, thor, mech builds slow and at 3+ base the toss can warp in 10+ chargelots by the time terran builds one tank. mech can make some cool play in the early and midgame (mvp's 2-2-2, or jjakji's games vs puzzle) though when no templars are available.

[Yoshi17th]

@xaositectz

Oops sorry, the game I was referring to -- I meant that it is an example of going air, not mech or mech/air.

Though, mech is barely decent enough on some maps like Dual Site and Shakuras, and maybe Calm of the Storm (beastyqt did some weird +1inf atk +veh atk + veh def + ship atk mix and still won in a direct engagement vs protoss). But yes I do agree with what you've said :) Jjakji's 2 fact/2starport is pretty fun haha. But when the mass chargelots come... gg :(

[xaositectz]

@Yoshi17th hehe yeah mech can make some cool play... but we rarely see that at the highest level. some guys with funky styles do it like Naama or Byun. but i think they are able of capitalizing on the advantage of mech builds being unexpected. but even Goody uses bio now vs toss and that means something :)

oh and i remember Kas having a cool mass banshee build vs toss, but he only used that as a troll build vs lesser players.

[Yoshi17th]

@xaositectz

Haha yeah :( Oh well, here's looking forward to the expansions xD

[iLLuZsiVe]

HOLYYYYY CHECKKKKK

[Thekarlsson94]

Really nice done!

[Machizel]

HUK DID IT FIRST TROLOOOLOO

[ryezizzle]

that looked so hard to do

[WenuxWindia]

storm drops and blink. so much more micro than stimming and running

[leetruff]

protoss takes so much micro... its insane!

[morespamforya]

@leetruff yeah shit, have to press A and then move your shit! fuck that's hard for the average protoss retard

[udienowisay]

@morespamforya terran "micro" right click s right click s right click s right clicks... takes no damage from zealots HERP DERP SO MUCH MICRO

in the video a protoss dropped behind his opponents army and then positioned storms predicting where the army was going to be, while blink microing his stalkers... A CLICK... i think not, dumbass

[mayhempk1backup1]

@morespamforya Yes, storm, blink, and dropping units from a warp prism is clearly all activated by the same hotkey, that being A. You're fucking retarded go back to bronze league.

[natrul99]

who recorded this on their 2004 cell phone

[jakeabeany]

fuck storm!

[jimmmyz169]

That..was..the sickest mortal kombat voice I've ever heard, MLG and IGN needs to higher you for your editing skills!

[Sargatha]

All the dislikes on this video are terrans

[nagabaiduri11]

I said the same thing on 0:50...

[DrrrGreenthum]

That was kinda good.

[PlumOrchid]

Did anyone else say holy shit before the effect?

[humdingercodswallop]

fuck your video editing. it was better when it just happened. you're terrible

[own121212]

"theres storms in inside that prism" possibly the most funny thing I've ever hard

[cubeface21]

The "Holy shit" was perfect :D

[FishyOnStick]

x10 better with snowflakes

[dekulewan]

LOL oh my god I lost it at "HOLY SHIT!"

0:48

[Myrsloken307]

[erickd14]

Holy fuck, those storms.

[brunhe]

H-h-h-o-lyyy SHit hithithit



[applebottomjames]

Is that Husky casting? It sounds SO much like him, but not quite like him.

[Kleptako]

@applebottomjames Its Wolf and Khaldor i think

[Blae000]

not as good as white-ra!!!!!!

[zyzlol]

sucks that you need support bay + prism + prism speed just to get use out of your templar

[LagTTJEcho]

@zyzlol to get use? or to completely destroy an army with 8 supply worth of spellcasters, dont be retarded

[AlexanderEddy]

@zyzlol Yeah, I hear Zealot/Archon is pretty terrible.

[Gooshnads]

I was watching that live and I absolutely went insane...

The storms kept following the giant ball

Oh god. xD

[JordanViewer]

@Gooshnads

same it was fucking crazy

[sabricks]

It's hard to do -_-...

[IssiBang]

@sabricks No it really is not

[rkid1296]

@IssiBang haha hyeah it is, what league are you?

[IssiBang]

@rkid1296 master

[rkid1296]

@IssiBang I'm HuK in disguise, btw.

[HansTheBoss]

genius op

[edwaars]

op



[MultiNarf]

khaldor sucks :)

[mrafaeldie]

It isn't hard to pull off,but your multitasking has to be good in order to actually profit .

[eyeEX]

LOL @ the editing hahahaha

[mattabesta]

awesome play.

[BobBurnnquist]

smoke weed

[shaman6ix]

to all the retards that are surely going to say "PROTOSS OP STORM OP AAAAAAA GHJKAGHJAJGLAGA'': this is actually very difficult to pull off.

[samdeval]

@shaman6ix No it isn't particularly hard to do. It's a great idea, and a good job to get into that position, but the actual apm required for that is fairly low.

[tommywomble]

@shaman6ix It isn't that hard.

[InzTTP]

Kinda cool seeing how bullshit storm is in slow motion.



[immortlone1188]

could have done without the slow-mo unless you did a replay. sick storms tho.

[CMBrannstrom]

That templar didn't even leave the drop ship before stormin' All I can say is that cocain is one hell of a drug.

[IssiBang]

sorry but what is so great about this >_> watch MC do this, so much better, I think its from some MLG on Terminus RE

[14bebop14]

@IssiBang hasssssssssssbeen

[jordcalifornia]

Now that's how PvT should be played, well play Genius.

[trawlerdude]

HOOOLY SHITITITTTT
