  • force - can you show us some team monobattles stuff please?

  • bear axe

  • if your not a really good player this fuckin game is cheap as shit.. Its almost impossible stopping this shit as terran.. U can't even get enough tanks in time. they just run right over ur shit and produce a shit more units in 2 seconds. all the faggots that cried when sc2 first came out ruined the game.

  • @Guinea54 I don't know why but apparently everything is over-powered in SC2.

    It's a hard game, you're going to lose a lot at first, just keep practicing and try not to rage to much :P - best of luck bro

  • @Guinea54 Sc2 is one of the most balanced games out there, retards will be retards i guess. I've worked myself from bronze too diamond and haven't had problem with baneling busts since silver/gold.

  • @Jonereator2 Its balanced if you are a complete nerd and study the game and put a shit ton of hours in it to learn every build order and strategy etc. That has to do with player skill and tactics. Doesn't mean the game is balanced on every level. When it was balanced everyone bitched that terran was too strong when the game first came out. I believe u need more skill to master or be good with some races than others.

  • @Guinea54 I have to disagree i've done neither and still feel it's pretty balanced. The only thing I had problems with was magic boxing mutas... But I see your point, then again they CAN'T balance by low league players I think you understand why. And trust me, it could have been much, much, MUCH worse. But honestly man, if you see a baneling bust do a heavy wall, 111 and get out a banshee and it's no problem. It's all about scouting.

  • I think that if you had been attacked at 3:10 to 3:30 like some Zerg players do ... you would have been DEAD ... cause you had NO units at all (in order to wall and TECH up) ... just a comment ! Don´t take it the wrong way

  • @RaterisimoCBA 3:10 would be a Sixpool, and if the enemy goes Sixpool, ur worker can kill them..

  • @HeroHamsta maybe, but once a zerg is determined to rush you over and over I don´t know if you can hold the attack having zero units ... his next attack would be MORE than just 4 zerglings (with queen and the Spawned Larva to make more lings in the hatchery) and after that he can keep coming and coming and coming ... and coming. Just a thought, maybe its counterable, I don´t really know for sure...

  • can you say "Barracks" correctly please. its not "Bear-Axe" its more like "Bear-Rex"

  • @theperfectspartan: a baneling bust in zvz? its not called a bust if you dont have a wall to destroy :p. but stop them with nice micro, splitting your lings (and maby banelings) as good as possible to minimize losses. tech to roaches, since they are pretty good vs banelings

  • How do you stop a baneling bust has a zerg vs zerg?

  • baneling busts are a joke lol.....get 1 tank, or a handfull of marines......losing buildings does NOT mean it was a successful bust...the bust has to cause more damage then it cost to make, and even the first one in the video didn't do that.

  • @FinalBossWTMN dude, this is for EARLY GAME. You dont have tanks.

  • @FinalBossWTMN Even if the baneling bust cost more than it destroyed, if it destroyed key buildings, that's a lot of wasted time for the opponent who has to rebuild them in order to make more units, whereas the zerg can rapidly rebuild his army and attack again. I'd say this map isn't great for a baneling bust because the bases are too far apart, but in a smaller map you have less time to rebuild key buildings and a defense before the zerg attacks again.

  • @FinalBossWTMN that is the stupidest comment ever. they run in and destroy all your fuckin shit, than they build more units real fast as a second wave and half ur fuckin buildings and men are gone.. its fuckin cheap

  • what if he goes early ling than baneling

  • @HUNT3RV yea, Id like to know that too. how do you predict it?

  • @17KILLHIM after 1 or 2 tries to ling bust (usually one) and then he stops attacking

  • @17KILLHIM you see double gas and hopefully you scout a baneling nest then see if hes droneing or making attacking units

  • I like to tech up to Siege Tanks and get +1 for their attack if my opponent goes banelings. :D

  • he sounds like the captain of a plane at the start

  • @Danielion55 Would you like me to help you with that build??

  • what do i do if i dont get the banashees soon enough but i do mange to stop the first bust? had few games that until i attacked the zerg had overseers and spore cannons...later also hydralisks as he saw me with banashees..... should i just practice on getting this early?

  • i thought a baneling bust was when you build hatch/spwn pool befor the tar can build there wall.

  • @BlackenedIdol you don't have banelings before the terran has his wall

  • @Beleshanel your right i was thinking of a ling bust my bad

  • hi how do you set points where the unit follow like a path?

  • @JustBeats808 shift as you click different places

  • @JustBeats808 shift click

  • he saw that the zerglings were changing to banelings near his base. that means a banelng bust

  • so hellions and banshees work well against zerg any other units from terran that are especially strong against zerg?

  • @PublicAwkwardness Siege tank and ghosts work good vs zerg

  • a good baneling bust comes at about 4:30 with about triple the amount of zerglings that guy had

    terrible strategy

  • Orbital scan noob.

  • LOL, a six pool would have owned him :p

  • @boejha pssssh 6pool. sc2 fags. 4 pool, bws the way go.

  • zerg was terrible player only lol~ the wall sucked btw~

  • Nice, simple and enjoyable. Thank you. Robert Lichota

  • can you make a stratergy guide against void rays with terran?

    subbed

  • @haakon023 get marines, lol

  • @flectz they get owned like fk....by void rays

  • zerg player was terrible

  • V me three

  • Just got Baneling bust two times a row -_- Tried to stop it and failed so now I'm looking at this vid.

  • @VangInVeins same thing happened to me it pissed me off... i made a load of tanks didnt work

  • Sorry, that was bad commentary. Didnt show important scenes, talked too much around, didnt got to the point. Repeated very often yourself. Didnt showed how these hallions attacked these zerglings earlier, which was one of the most important things in the game.

  • OMG DESTINY CLOUD FIST BUILD PUT AT THE ENTRANCE!!!!!

  • That Zerg player was awful. He threw away (b)lings like crazy. If he scouted in a non-moronic way he would have dumped banelings and gotten some extra queen and/or roach hydra. Or just gave up busting and expanded, taken a third, then teched to hive. How hard is it to move an Overlord to the mineral line?

  • @skitzoritz The issue is time. Roaches are easily killed through Marauders and Banshees. If you Hydra through Marauders, Banshees will cloak without an OS, and even then Banshees/Marines can micro around OS and take Hyrdras. Just my thoughts though, and I'm not at all saying you're wrong. These scenarios just would need to be spot on. One could even Nydus Network a Bling Bust, but you could also bunker mineral lines too...

  • @AltruisticShine Well, someone playing zerg should know you need very specific counters to defeat certain combos. My point was that doing anything else would have been preferable to tossing away banelings on a near-impenetrable defense. He could have very easily researched drop tech in the time he wasted and flooded the base with slings after retreating. On scrap with no Overlord scout is inexcusable. The best strategy? No. But better than the idiocy I just witnessed.

  • @AltruisticShine Not to mention. He broke through, saw banshees, and didn't bother with extra queens or Scrawlers. Punishing him for his heavy wall would have been the ideal move. If he is wasting resources on static defenses, he isn't using them on other things. Punish turtling with expanding. But by far the biggest mistake was trying to bust again after the first failed. He MIGHT have been able to put up a better fight, but...TL;Dr this zerg player is a bit too poor to provide a good example.

  • @skitzoritz he had 2 queens but yeah the evo chamber should have been up earlier.

  • launching zerglings: i approve it

  • i've seen literally 40 different builds for terran, is there some all inclusive one that works in general?

  • @ttitanb not really. Thats what makes SC2 so interesting. some units are good vs. some races, other units vs other races. You have to vary your build to adapt. Of course, you could ignore the weakness and just use one.

  • force do u still play sc2?

    

  • While I don't think Baneling busts are the cleanestink of methods in ZvT, I also thinkg Banshees are even worse. Zerg has no early non-stadic AA until tier 2(Queens aren't usually "mased" unless you see the Banshee push, and you won't see it with a walled off Terran), and it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

  • It's a shame this doesn't work 99% of the time for me, as they always 7 pool and there is no defence against that. Unless you call losing your wall + 3-4 marines in about a second a valid defence.

  • the banshee rush is actually pretty pathetic, abusing the fact that zerg has no anti air units until tier 2.5 apart from a queen...which they cant afford to get unless they know banshees coming.

  • thx for these videos man!

  • damn, your good, i m noob abd enjoy your videos ! keep doing it! Hello from spain!

  • meant 2:30 :)

    

  • @theeonionbagel at around 3:30 there is a yellow dot in reds base. aka an scv

  • "veh-speen"

  • this is not really good at all....no queens for zerg ? that 's a question i want to ask...

  • @marcocmh 2 queens isn't enough at 1 base? he even didn't expand and spread a creep, it was a mistake when zerg saw a banshee, he didn't make enough defending work

  • What is your friend code?

  • What is your friend code?

  • This is also good against fast expo speedlings + banelings. However instead of starports, i will go for thors because most zerg players will transit to mutas eventually.

  • wouldnt it be smarter to lift up the buildings and just build 2 bunkers with marauders and marines who shoot the shit out of the banelings?

  • Can someone tell me where is this  video as a protoss?

  • Nydus worms should be able to shoot banelings at air units.

  • Btw, minor issue: Barracks is pronounced Bare - ex, not bare -Axe.

  • Comment removed

  • @majinspy No...he pronounced it correctly. Ba-Rucks or Ba-Racks

  • hey im new so idk if this is a dumb question but i didnt see him scout so how did he know that he was up against a baneling rush?

  • @theeonionbagel its a replay

  • @theeonionbagel 'cause it's a replay!

  • @theeonionbagel zerg like baneling so set up to take it

  • @theeonionbagel 2:30 you see the scv enter the zerg base on the minimap

  • @theeonionbagel 5:02 terran player scanned, must have seen the baneling's nest

  • @theeonionbagel I think the terran player might of scanned :S, im not sure D:

  • @theeonionbagel eh some people do it all the time from paranoia.

  • @theeonionbagel It is to be expected in that particular map.

  • @theeonionbagel look at 2:32 and ull see a tiny yellow dot go into reds base :)

  • Comment removed

  • it was a friend and he asked to do it...

  • @theeonionbagel that map it a common baneling bust due to the large ramp with normly a fast deffence and not the best but the thing is ppl use SD or bunkers which can take less dammage than a lager buiding so u have a better chance on this map of jumping to baneling hope this help but sorry if it does not help

  • @theeonionbagel He saw no expand from Zerg, so he made a bunker to be safe from any type of Zerg all-in (Roach push, Baneling Bust, etc).

  • @theeonionbagel

    maybe its hes mate and they just decided so that zerg tries to baneling bust

  • @theeonionbagel

    scratch my last post, he scouted at 3:31 (replay time)

  • @theeonionbagel I think they were 2 friends demonstrating

  • @theeonionbagel There was a scout at 2:30 or so.

  • Comment removed

  • @theeonionbagel scan?

  • @theeonionbagel

    he scans the zerg base at 5:00. so he sees the baneling nest

  • @theeonionbagel 1:48 scout 

  • @theeonionbagel He prepared for any early pressure from zerglings, so the strong wall off still applied, despite that its a general thing to wall off none the less, the banelings just came and he reacted accordingly..

  • @theeonionbagel When he uses that SCAN ability he sees

  • @theeonionbagel

    he saw that the zerg hadn't expanded when he sent his scout. That generally means a one base play baneling bust strategy.

  • @theeonionbagel dude there is something called a scan. It reveals the area...

  • @theeonionbagel He did scout look 2:30 and to 2:46 and u see an yellow dot in zergs base np :P

  • whats your gamer picture

  • cant u just place 2 supply depos infront of the reactor and bunker?

  • The problem with a 6 pool is anyone who knows how to attack with their workers can counter it. I normally run my workers around until i get a marine or two and then use my scvs as a defense with a few of them assigned to auto repair.

  • whenever im playing terran on scarp station, i go planetary fortress rush =D

  • @flippinawesome973 Why? you can just lift a free base into the base between you and him.  Turrent that off a bit and he'll never get in.

  • @nemesis408 if u go planetary fortress rush, you dont actually expect to win, but its funny as hell when you do

  • might i just say the zerg player wasn't exactly good at doing a baneling bust, i would've hit about a minute earlier with about twice the strength and your reactor was a very weak point in the wall, easy entry would've taken out worker line fast spotted star port blocked banshee and would've been GG i can see how this would work against players who aren't so good, but once you verse a skilled zerg, you are screwed :)

  • How do you deal with the banglings in the open field against a marine bio ball.

  • @steadyb23

    What I do, is handle it defensively. Keep your tanks sieged as much as possible to pick them off from a distance. Keep your bio ball AWAY from those banelings. If he chases your bio ball, keep running and let your tanks pick them off. If he goes for your tanks have your bio ball attack. Even if they get to your tanks, they are much less effective because tanks have more hp and splash damage isn't an issue. If the game is a heavy macro game, Thors make great units to tank banelings.

  • @steadyb23 micro ur marines and sacrifice 1 marine at a time til the banes all suicide, cause u can waste 3 banes just for 1 marine. or if u got air transport jump in when they get near

  • How do you deal with the banglings in the open field against a marine bio ball

  • warum castest du nicht auf deutsch?

  • when i play im terran destroys my depot and lings surround i gg T_T

  • When I play vs. Zerg he'll rush me with 10 lings after 2-3 min. -.-

  • Awesome, I just lost to baneling bust today, this helps, thanks Force!

  • what i think the problem here will be.. what if they do a zergling rush..? if u make a refinery first then u wont have enough minerals to make marines to fend them off

  • mate.. zerg players will almost ALWAYS do baneling bust.. may i suggest reapers to go against them.. they can kill baneling in 2 shots

  • 3:05 Where do you live? I saw that everyday on Korhal!

  • Do you know how you use the arrow keys to move around and stuff, is there any way to change the arrow keys to anther key to move around because if I'm always on the arrow keys, I cant get to the control groups very fast and then im slow at everything!!

  • @memomanize If you double tap your control group hotkey, your camera will jump to that unit(s)... so basically if you have a couple marines on "3", and lets say your looking at your CC you can hit "3" twice and your camera will move to your marines. You really shouldn't be using your arrow keys at all and that way you can keep your hand elsewhere. If you need to look somewhere on the map you should just click that location on the minimap.

  • Barracks and vespene....not barrACKs and vespiene.

  • @budwayz You forgot the part where he's Diamond and you're not.

    :]

  • @TheGilmer Hahahaha regardless of skill or league, correct pronunciations are correct pronunciations.

  • @budwayz Lawl.

  • i think this strategy would be much better if you sent only 4 hellions to the zerg's base and leave the rest in your base. And also, the hellions should have gone to kill the drones, not zerglings..

  • "There gonna keep cumming at your wall" :D

  • no offense your voice is annoying i cnt get your thick voice outta my head

  • @aburabies2009 how is that not offensive?  his voice is fine.

  • I agree, it can never be 100% expected especially if you know your opponent changes strategy frequently.

  • zerg player is f***ing hilarious

  • @nazworkshop he put a bunker there and it wasn t him that did it it was a replay from a player

  • @NinjaWolf1473 thats how it was in sc1

  • @nazworkshop he said no supply depots for a strong building get some glasses u troll

  • i wish my zerglings could jump up into the air and attack battlecruisers

  • hmm ever since this vid came out ppl stop doin baneling attacks....

  • great video dude

  • Hey Force, how do you defend your 2nd base from Lings n stuff like that? i have a problem with it as Terran. Thanks.

  • @berryfafilling can i gave my opinion ? use marine - medivacs. (also focus-fire) or wall-in marines

  • im not sure if this is true but i believe you can flip buildings so they face a different position. Is it true and if it is how do you do that??? Thnx for help :P

  • Just wondering Jungle basin is a very strong map to use bailening busts specially because you can take down the rocks at around 6 minutes. Happened to me and i completely fail with a strong wall any ideas?

  • Yeah that zerg player sucked....if that Terran player would of used that build order I would of kicked his ass.

  • Hey, Force is this an okay build against all Zerg opponents? Just wondering because you got the hellions which are effective against those zerglings. Just wondering because I am a relatively new SC2 player and could use all the help I can get.

  • it is possible to lanch banelings but it is more common in 2v2 because if u use a pheonix to lift the baneling and it explodes, it will do dmg to both air and ground units =P

  • Hey Force, the reapers are good against banelings?

  • ForceSC2strategy, are you a german or something? Because this chat text at the beginning is german..

  • This is very interesting. The greatest danger for the bb strat are the early helions. But even in that case, the zerg player can win the game. Super early Helions at 4:50. If you do things right as a zerg player, you can wait for the helions with your first lings at the front door of the terran. I always do the bb and if i don't screw it up for myself, i always win the game. I think this is imbalanced, although i'm proud of my bo.

  • I kept on staring at the minimap when the first helions came out. The little dots maneuvering was sort of entrancing...

  • baneling bust SUUUUCK'S

    I find 10x better strategy 9/10 times won.

    Zerglings + attack boost + speed boost.

    Pwnd ^^

  • he could have supported his lings with hydras since he had lair, that would be good game for terran.

  • @mcconalds hed have far less banelings or rush considerabley later, hellion would have seen hyrdra den and all the sudden you have siege tanks set up

  • no zerg does this early b ling bust anymore. They do early expand and usually to banelings, speed lings, and muta. Very hard to deal with as terran. Even with a thor in there and good micro I still have a very hard time. Helions should do more dmg to banelings so there could be a decent counter.

  • @thegarbageman21 wrong! hellions do not do extra mdg to banelings...since baneling isnt a light armor unit

  • @startingsprinter try reading my comment again before saying im "wrong!"

    I said helions SHOULD do extra damage to non workers 

  • @thegarbageman21 u stupid hellions have flame throwers that have been effective since sc1 which is light units such as zerglings and zealots.. im not saying hellions are in sc1 im not saying the attributes are in sc1 just the flamethrowrs from firebats were always good against workers,zealots and zerglings every unit has a different good use u troll

  • What if you get 6 pooled ? Well you can obviously go and scout but what if you were thinking he was 6 pooling and went scouting and by the time you would have lost too much time to make a build vs baneling bust.

    The problem in this video is that the terran is already making a build (early refinery) to counter a baneling bust as if he knew it was coming.

    What if there was a 6pool ? And if you try to scout a 6pool, it will be too late to make a counter baneling build.

  • Supply depots can be placed better to provide wall further back before getting to the 3rd producing center for your main wall. This would be for th earlier rush, 2 supply depots only needed on that middle opening.

  • its incredibley easy to stop banelings zerglings roaches or hydras or all... even ultras on scrap station as terran... just load all your scvs into your command center and fly it to the floating rock base use the remaining scv to scout

  • @Scotlockify

    Thats a smart move isnt it. What if i fast tech muta? you will be trapped in the corner on 1 base all game while im getting like 100 mutas then i will crush you. No player is that retarded.

  • @xujploxjux yeah even if it wasnt on that base and back at the main i'd STILL be crushed... your comment has no point the idea is it gives you good defense against all land units and early 6 pools

  • @Scotlockify Wouldn't that put you behind like alot in econemy dude ???

  • teach me your ways

  • i got 6 pooled once. then i ripped out my BEAR AXE and won
