StarCraft 2 - [P] Fast Void Ray - Strategy

[AbduCola]

Go blistering?

[eyeballzFTW]

thx for the help man :)

[Raymondhe437]

I like to only voidray rush against other Protoss players.

I usually get 2 voidrays as fast as possible and start harassing their mineral line if they have alot of gateways and if they don't have alot at all, then just start attacking the pylons.

as this goes on, i get more voidrays as I go.

usually, they GG already

[xPOw3rsx]

What the hell is microing nad macroing??? That's all I hear about this game and how the hell do you do it?

If you have an answer, reply to me!!! :) BY the way, you are a good commentator ForceSC2strategy dude!!! :)

[dbzking4rel]

@xPOw3rsx Micro is controlling your units, for example head on battle with stalkers, you blink back the weak stalkers so they stay alive then they go back to fight.

Macro is your economy, your drones, your expansions, and your income as well as production.

[omataqo123]

@anthonyandfreinds don't know if retarded or trying to be funny

[But1kicker]

@anthonyandfreinds dont try so hard to be funny... it's kinda sad.

[ParagonEvergreen]

@But1kicker I was thinking the exact same thing....lol

[SolDragon7]

2 dislikes are tarran and zerg

[jeepdev]

great!

[AnilMorisetti]

I don't understand what he did in order to keep the force field up. I'm a new player, so I haven't memorized the hotkeys or anything. How was he able to keep the force field up instantly? I know he used Ctrl + 1 or something to set his sentries in a control group, and he used a hotkey to use forcefield, but how was he able to know exactly when the force field was going down and how was he able to easily keep the force field in the same spot without choosing it's location? If I know this I might

[tmarichards]

@AnilMorisetti it's mainly just practice- after a few games, you'll learn off by heart how long a FF stays up for, and can pretty much count down to when the next one needs to be placed. Practice constantly FFing a ramp vs the AI, before long your timings will be getting better

[footofblack]

sentries are so gay >.>

[MostazalsLord]

@footofblack Lol, nah.

[Proud2BeAPirate]

@footofblack Nah, they cool brah they cool.

[FC1032]

Force field blocking my way. I'll just keep moving forward!!

[MagicMan1860]

Lol. These are the kind of games that make people rage on the forums:

"Gr force fields are OP. NERF THEM BLIZZ" haha

[rkid1296]

@MagicMan1860 "well why did you lose?"

"um... i basetraded 2 voidrays even though i had like 15 marines and more on the way.."

">.<"

[raki7253]

u forgot 2 say your number 1 location for step by step strategy's.......

[DesaPelangi]

lol nice :D pity the terran player

[hailstorm123isdead]

wow...

i know void ray is really good but i never knew u could make them this quick...

id have built a zealot/stalker army by then...

really great video =D

[rkid1296]

@hailstorm123isdead it's better vs zerg since if you have 2 void rays you can take out 2 queens easily (and if you denied scouting) do some serious economic damage, if not win out right.

[Sazuiz]

(Build Order Incoming) - Video posted sep 2010.. You're slow dude! :)

[silverrayd]

scary scenario danger lurking outside just the way the doctor ordered loving it haha

[navrozlal]

@silverrayd Lul-lul-lulz?

[msajful]

hey how did you make that production on your screen the double ones

[TheDouglasReid]

hello chad

[Zarvanis]

LOL. If I was the Terran guy I would be SO freaking pissed. Protoss FTW! :)

[jarky418]

how does this vid only have 30,000 views? this guy needs to get more fame! :D

[earthmaster]

6 sentries are needed to constant FF heads up

[snowflake1047]

Hey just wanna say I love your videos you and husky have taught me so much, of course I'm still learning but who isn't. I just have one comment you should start making videos about how to defend against some strategies like how a prtoss player could defend against a terrans MMM.

[highpant]

hey love ur videos uve learned us alot. now i wanna donate. is that possible ? please respond.

[octopuscollective]

@itsmeagain1019 haha.. it is so tempting now that you mention it.

[enginsayan79]

force fields is not enough when when your base have 2 entries..

but very nice force field usage..

my problem with void ray rush is that, terran will pop marines very quickly and with 2 void rays warmed up, killing marines is very inefficient :(

[TheSoulSilv3r]

0 people dislike force ^-^

[Adeon55]

@TheSoulSilv3r :D

[Thoomash1]

@TheSoulSilv3r because force is 100% Like

[fLADZenny]

That was fucking well played! Im allways too late with my Forcefields at the entrance. So i let in a couple of marines, and get pwnt ^^

[TheU2ubert]

i'm aways to slow with my forcrfield micro :(

[3644587]

nice estrategy

[Sega778]

You gonna put up the build order anytime soon?

[crazypsycho69]

BAHAHAHA every time he put down a force shield i just started cracking up. Terran guy is just twiddling his thumbs outside and every time it goes down he just gets the door slammed in his face again xD

[peterdaveloose]

These videos are the best, I can't believe only 17k views. I watch all of these shits

[samus802]

when is the build order coming?



[Ukkers]

that was way cool sentry micro

[pixi6666]

@xxravitxx

It may have been because you didn't have vision of the high ground. You need your void ray to give you that vision.

[CyonixPwnsYou]

great video man. if he had pushed at the start with around 5 marines say when you had only 1 stalker out, how would u have defended?

[straightgamenwatch]

too bad the terran player had no reapers its harder to force field those guys out of the base

[xxravitxx]

i had tried the same strategy on the same map, and for some reason i could not warp my stalkers or zealots on to the higher ground, placing the pylon on lower ground like he did. I actually placed it on the same spot. Does anyone know how to solve this? Thanks in advance

[xxravitxx]

@xxravitxx nevermind, i've got it now.

[EmeraldEchelon]

:subscribed: I'm liking these videos, a lot. Keep up the great work.

[HavikZeroX]

What are these guys in Bronze League?! Blue was "gg" minutes before he did, no economy and he thinks he is going to win? Idiot

[GuruVlk]

on the other hand if the terran used the quick attack bunker strike from previews guide, he will not be able to make this vodi rays. When he has the first one he is far behind the rush time which can come.

[DragonBallPaul]

@GuruVlk That's why you scout.

[antiirony]

nice rape

[ShimmerStrike316]

Magic number of Sentries to infinitely force-field that ramp is 6. Actually a nice little number to know. No harm in getting more if you have the gas to support it though.

[MrDohmah]

and if the terran player scanned and the saw the stargate?

[MrDohmah]

whats ur occupation btw? i know its irelevant but im just curious

[samus802]

when is the build order coming?

[ZiggyIsGrape]

voids are a game killer

they need a nerf...

[V1taLiy86]

@ZiggyIsGrape not gonna happen, voids owns!

[ZiggyIsGrape]

@V1taLiy86 I say it most likely will at some point...

[Katalmach]

@ZiggyIsGrape

I'm leaning towards not nerfing it, even after losing a considerable amount of games to it. Fast tech to rays is countered by proper scouting and early aggression (non-reaper). They will still demolish any player that does not have enough units in his base (while moving your army for instance). As a terran keeping a contingent of vikings is the best thing I could come up with, rines will get harassed a lot and the toss player will still be able to snipe any isolated buildings.

[MMOPalace]

AHHHHH RAH RAH RAHRA RARARA RAH RAH RAH

[torysouths]

when is the build order going to come? lol

[CptnChan]

that was some mad crazy micro

[NetCodeBlue]

Do you have a twitter account?

[MachtFisch]

awsome kind of play :D

[solrflare]

Just what we need...more newbs rushing voids.

[NetCodeBlue]

@solrflare Zerg FTW!

[Jeradeth]

This video makes it seem really risky :( If our micro isn't as good as the protoss players, will this not work then?

[DirekWannabe]

damn that guy is PROtoss

[crosscore90]

@DirekWannabe hahahahahaha

[StixProd]

this game just went TOO well.

[shaffer2112]

think I heard day9 say number of sents to keep perm force field is 5

[lgscsc]

the wall with sentry was epic raging for the other player i guess



[MrLlamazFtw]

I've tried this before, but I got wiped out before i could get it going :(

[Ebonyx]

nastiest microing ive ever seen lmao wow

the forcefield block was ingenious

[paradoxin7]

How many sentry's is it for infinite wall off?

[12timesadayman]

Now I hate you, Force.

[runningformoney]

damn that guy is amazing

[xKilaJG]

damn nice micro maneging with sentries

[pirkid01]

Terran should have lost at 7:20, instead, he still survives with a huge army and only fails because he didn't anticipate sentries.

If a protoss or zerg player got their base destroyed like that, it would have been game over. gg, terran, you can adapt to anything.

[Smeagollum86]

@pirkid01 yes they are the most versatile race

[wowwtfnonames]

The terran player should have scanned the protoss base so he could attack the sentries from the low ground. I would have smashed that protoss player.

[gabe228]

@wowwtfnonames my ass you would have, nani's one of the top players in the world

[Sathyru7]

@wowwtfnonames lol, scann? xD he's orbital command was destroyed dude...

and 'this protoss player' is one of the best in the world....

[wowwtfnonames]

@Sathyru7 look at the replay closely, when the terran army is at the protoss base, the orbital comman is still there. So yeah, scan the high ground so you can attack it.

[Dreamslayer0987]

ugh great more people doing void ray rush...

[brodis11]

teehee terran just got shit on.

[lgzin0690]

Man, voids against terran is failure on diamond and even platinum.. marines kills non charged voids easily

[MacroSynchro]

@lgzin0690 thats y u chargeee them

[tundranocaps]

Too many "clicks" or "thumps"? Sounds almost like tapping on a table with a finger/pencil, heh.

[andreaslovgren]

If he had turned back to his base you would just have to warp in some sentrys inside his base to block them of the same way he did now with his own base....

[SolarxWind]

@andreaslovgren he has vision into his base because of his buildings... that wouldn't have worked

[abramsantana]

@andreaslovgren yea you would have to have some mad timing to get that down but it would be nasty effective

[ddandevil67]

@andreaslovgren LOL dude id smash my computer if that happend 2 me

[n1ghaplease]

haha this guy is nasty

[Evo139]

I love void rays. I did this in my 1v1 practice league.... everyone hated me

[whickedshell]

1 guy has lot's of brains and the other 3 don't

[pilsener13]
