Starcraft 2 Challenge #3 - For the Swarm

[SavageJunky]

Thank you Mr.Psy, really appreciate the help !

[hadeskiller1]

1st round: All four Ultras against Collossi, all zerglings and Infestor against Immortal(Neural Parasite Immortal then attack it so you lose no zerglings), Hydras V. Voids

2nd Round: All Roaches V. Zealots, Mutas and Infestor V. Voids(Fungal Growth then Neural Parasite on one Void)

3rd Round: One Ultralisk to tank fire then pull back w/ four Brood Lords, then all Roaches, three Ultras, and an Infestor(Fungal Growth on Zealots), then all Corrupters w/ Corruption on Carriers.

Zero losses.

[llToLYll]

I used 1 hydralisk to tank the immortal.

[0beastly0]

Just a quick tip for anyone who reads this, it is also a good idea to burroqw the three ultras in the first round in a triangular configuration, and when the collosi get into the middle of the triangle, unburrow all of the ultras. The collosi can not focus fire/splash damage any of the ultras this way and I didn't even have to burrow any or micro.

[KerrigaNstarr]

how can you dislike a guy's vid that is helping you ? i can't understand this motherfucking shitheads omg the guy trying to help and he succeded in that so.GTFO H8trs

[Fluffball176]

@KerrigaNstarr Maybe they didn't like the guide?  Ever think that? I don't piss myself whenever someone dislikes one of my videos, because I actually understand the fact that people have different opinions. Idk who raised you kid, but you don't get to hate everyone that disagrees with you.

[milleniumicton]

"burrow there, burrow here and attack that void ray which has been neuro parasited by this burrowed sneaky motherfuckeeer"

[ACJacko1]

i always use the infestor to neural the immortal and then A click the immortal to "friendly fire" on it and kill it

[wowgeargamesplay]

thanks for the help :)

[Taylorwest626]

easy peasy japaniezy, oops knocked over the beer can

[jmertelj]

Oh, first ever intoxicated commentary... Now that happens all the time :D

[siguru1]

man... youre like that alien from that cartoon american dad. just sitting around the house drinking and wasting your time. keep em coming

[Arlen10]

okay so the terran one I got pissed at a rage quit. I managed to get passed it with the tutorial from this guy. The protoss one really pissed me off. I got gold in that. Then I got to the zerg. I was cursing at the computer. 2 UNITS. JUST 2 UNIT FUCKING UNITS! So then finally after watching this over and over I got it down and did it. I was fucking happy. These challenges are hard... O.o you deserve my sub for helping me through that bullshit.

[HammerDimension]

I find it impossible to not lose any hydras in the first round.

[CforCheng]

@HammerDimension use infest marines

[HammerDimension]

@CforCheng I eventually got it by spreading the hydras a bit farther back and putting the infestor burrowed up front, pop up and snatch a voidray from behind, and just tried it over and over and over and over until I was able to micro the hydras well enough and lose like only 2

[dragoonreborn]

You can use just the zerglings against the immortal with some micro.

[xToxicInferno]

10 Tries later i finally get it with 8 dead...

[ShMuPpSs]

how did he use neural parasite when his infestor was burrowed?

[ASBOMAN]

@ShMuPpSs This is an old video, so maybe you used to be able to do it before a patch. either that or he just burrowed and unburrowed fast

[ricardovega]

0:52 - 0:55 DAT ASS

[WithoutAnyDecency]

Zerg is definitely the easiest, just abuse burrow and you can get 0 deaths easy as long as you pull the damaged mutas and corruptors. Also I used the infestor for NP against the immortal.

[petterud]

I just used neural on the immortal and attack commanded it with the lings. Then relied on epic burrow action with the hydras xD.

on round 2 I give some roaches to the top force for support and the infestor for splitting the voids in pairs with fungal.

on round 3 I let the roaches go down together with the ultras and a broodlord while the rest goes to the middle (struggling to focus fire dem archons).

corruptors do the last job done but I give them infestor support with neural anyways

[rpvarela]

Just a tip. On round 2, don't send the infestor to help the roaches. Send it to the hydras. For the roaches, get them all to attack the zealots and when some is close to die (yellow/orange bar is less risky) burrow them all... they will regen ultra fast, back to the green bar, unburrow them soon after and keep repeating until they all die.

Then you can have the infestor help with neural on the mutas x rays

[AdmiralBeans]

@rpvarela There aren't any hydras in round 2...

[rpvarela]

@AdmiralBeans I meant mutas, sorry.

[kingchessking]

for round 1 i just lobbed a whole bunch of infested terran in the front, and they attack those, while my hydras attacked from the back, and then burrowed once they were getting attacked, cuz iunno how to do the mind control thing

[LONcreeps]

Rofl psy so drunk here its sooo obvious XD

[siksikaX]

how are you doing the mind control trick while burrowed?

[R3fini]

@siksikaX its an exploit...works with hotkey, press R (burrow) and immediatly parasite a dude et voila!

dont know if they patched it yet...

[ibervang]

I used that one, that can controal units, the place i thought it was most needed. And the good thing with zerg, is they can burrow. So i burrowed when it looked like one was about to die, then i would click it off and unburrow those that where fine. This also works very well with roches, as they reg very fast, burrowed. I think it was zerg, where i lost only 2 units

[DarkMatterDestroyer]

"Fungal Splooging"? You should get that checked out...

[agiar2000]

I remember him saying to "hold Alt." I know that holding Shift allows you to queue commands, but what does Alt do?

[eprod90]

@agiar2000 healthbars

[nniicckk66006600]

@agiar2000 it brings up the healthbars, but you ca keep them on via the options in the menu

[Megedagic]

You can actually use the Infestor to controll the immortal and just A the zerglings to kick his ass, no losses. and use the tank Ultralisk to help with the collosus wave

[ibervang]

@Megedagic i think i did something similar

[Rezoxel]

Love your vids so far so good :)

[coketom]

dude you are fucking mint at this game can you add me on starcraft

[MalkavianWeezil]

Try this for Round 3: For Immortal/Stalkers, leave all your Guardians down here except 1. Send it up to the Z/A group for initial tanking and extra punch. DO NOT sit any Ultralisks down here. Their damage is not necessary to complete this and you're risking your casualty count. Set up a kill sequence on the Stalkers, micro, watch as the Immortals QQ and try to take care of the Guardian's projectiles unsuccessfully. Do the Zealot/Archons as shown above with your new extra firepower. Enjoy!

[Khaosreign]

I can't get the second part of the third round. Even using your setup. For some reason, my guys aren't able to take out everyone in time. Even when using Fungal Growth.

[Jwild628]

i dont know if its because of a patch or what but my three guys allways lose to collosus its not even close

[MalkavianWeezil]

@Jwild628 Make sure to make them focus fire on the target in the position to allow the most "Cleave Damage." If they are making a "wall" of 3 units, pick the Colossus in the middle of the wall. I just did it today and they all melted, no trouble.

[max138meeuwis]

cant you mindcontrol one colossus, and let them fight themselves XD

[michaeel6334]

For the immortal, get the infestor to nural parasite the immortal then just attack command with the zerglings.

[bijan00711]

very helpful, thanks for the vid!

[XxTaiMTxX]

Amazing how kiting only works against someone who just uses the "attack" command and doesn't watch their units... Still, it works against the computer, so I guess it's good.

[Proud2BeAPirate]

Can also use infestor and make 8 marines in front to take the damage from voidrays. DIdn't lose one hydralisk and also did not micro at all other than focus fire.

[cannedletuce]

you can have the infestor mind control the immortal and just have the zerglins attack him with no counter attack :3

[Norsaboy]

have lost 1 on each of the challenges ^^ cant get 0 :(

[Skalman50]

"Hold on... Ooo that was delicious." 5:00-5:07 :D

[CrusaderHDStarcraft]

7 losses :D

couldn't burrow fast enough but its good :D

[Motormouse1990]

0 losses here :DD

[TheFuror1191]

R.I.P. Any beer spilled when he knocked over the can.

Gj with the challenge

[wanishedwiz]

in round 3 send 3-4 flying broodlords to the barier before pressing ready button. attack immortal first and then just click every enemy so that they are occupied. it might take time but noone shot air because they are all killing those little things on ground, this way you spare ultralisks for archons. it might take a lot of time but mision is not timelimited.

[kevozman]

@Mihnea90tEO lol i was going to type that in here

as a tip, beat me to it.

[Mihnea90Teo]

or u cna simply use infstor to take control of the imortal ....

[fireskull66325]

You can't use neural parasite anymore :(

[C454D]

Ok, 3 losses had be jaw dropped but I was paralysed from laughter from hearing you talk in your state. Do more vids like that XD

[Bgraboveall]

hard as shit

[PheoniXxXxXxXxX]

what do u record with?

[NoneShaltPass]

U r very pro and gay

[zGnomie]

Why didn't you just Neural Parasite the immortal and A-move an easy win in first round?

[nwfootball80]

snap u knocked down the brewski wow shame on you

[sheshahari]

infest immortal let zergling kil him lol

[AZN7]

thanks for the tips, I barely managed silver; with your tips, gold

[Xerethane]

You play better drunk than I do sober.

[mechan9]

Man, I simply can't get passed round 2 without losing too many mutas. It's driving me nuts!

[DmanCanDoThat]

Fungal parasite hahaha

[hlsghost]

On round three a couple of broodlords did the job for me, just moving one back ocassionally. the bloodlings kept tanking all units (the sentries and immortals)

[jam1737]

if you use the infestors to spawn infested terrans then you can kill the immortal sooo easily, and the infested terrans dying doesn't cost any losses

[phopojijo]

@jam1737 Yeahhhh but then you lose Fungal Growth... which is prettty nasty.

[jam1737]

@phopojijo very true

[Ridimir]

"Make sure to get the Ultralisk focus fired, and from there its easy peasy lemon squeezing Japanesey... I'm going to drink some brewskis..."

[polska555]

worked out great :), but why not neural parasite the immortal while you kill it with zerglings and have 4 ultras vs colossi?

[Midnighter169]

instead of europe v asia it should be intoxicated v sober lol

[Thebigbust2001]

lets take all these infestors up here with the carriers" lol

[Darkordeal]

is this in campaign

[cuda852]

@Darkordeal this is under single player-challenges. right next to the campaign option

[hazrain99]

i just cant get gold on this one >.>

[cykokiller16]

hey psy instead of tanking the ultra and lings against immortal, nerual parasite the immortal and attack it when nerual parasited

[Sunblade12]

I don't know how he selects the weakest units so quickly can someone tell me how to do this?

[Aquamissile42]

@Sunblade12 It's really hard to do. You have to hold alt and notice the ones with decreasing hp. Alt displays all the hp bars, and you have to click that unit and pull it back immediately, once it goes past the yellow.

[G4M3V1D30S]

#1#2 and #3 .. are so much easier for me then for you i dont know but seems like they doing less dmg or something i need like no micro at all only at the muta vs void rays^^

[Baiko]

Terran was easy, protoss easy after these tips, zerg really hard for me, even with these tips (playing first time ever on zerg)

[MrNeyus]

@Baiko Zerg is a hard race

but very fun

[darksidejuggernaut]

@Baiko you forget to burrow o.O

[AuryLee]

@Baiko i found zerg easier then others... i found protoss the hardest

[falafelpojkeN]

HELLO DERRICK ANDERSON

[Mxtome]

@falafelpojkeN press r then e really quickly

[sdgsoul]

How do i make the neuro + burrow trick?

[MellowMight]

Last round, just look at the tips. Ultra+Roach+Infestor for the middle, simply fungal growth as many units as possible, and you can basically attack move AS LONG AS the ultras tank. incredibly easy. meanwhile, With 0 burrowing and basically literally no micro i never lose a guy there. Then on the stalker/immortal, 5 broodlords will literally take 0 dmg as they take them down.

And in the first round, simply use the lings+ the infestor and neural parasite. No ultra diversion required

[Scourge122]

In round 2 use the infester vs rays, spit out infested terrans to tank and do terrible, terrible damage

[Scourge122]

Use infestor vs immortal in round one, Neural Parasite and kill it with lings.

[MM0Truedsson]

wow you are nice :D

[ChrisDokProductions]

for the first one just neural parasite the 1 immortal

[Iamthelight1000]

funny stuff man love the vids really helped a ton was having a hard time with these until these vids.

[MrChannelReview]

you called your corruptors Infestors

[Beggionahorsehoes]

@MrChannelReview infestors can corrupt

[MrChannelReview]

@Beggionahorsehoes no the corruptors are a unit

infestors are a unit and he called the corruptors infestors

[Alpharius11]

I like these a lot. thank you.

[seanmoonwalker]

fkn aye... what a douche

[whyness]

My solution for the first round was

#1 all ultras to the collosi

#2 neural parasite the Imortal then attack command it

#3 use burrow on the hydras before they die.

[Neghut]

NP on the immortal in the beginning owns it, so you can use all 4 ultras on the Colossi.

[Bhargos]

@Neghut except the voidrays are harder to handle...

[mbe0884]

That clumsy little ultra!

[stamdar1]

i did the corupters useing focus fire alone u just have to micro manage a lil and none will die

[dvermilion]

time for a drunken LAN. although i have found that i play for shit when i drink.

[halolz5000]

aww the brood lord haz babies DAI MFER

[NotCliffyB]

I am drunk, drunk is me. I am drunk, woo! :D

[Zphunkallstar]

thanks for the help! Got my Gold... was skeptical i could do it with ZvsP units!

[Bonkertink]

you didnt sound too drunk you should have more next time : D

[CliffLalley]

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



[MrAsianvsCanada]

if you neuro the immortal then make the zerglings attack you wont lose a single zergling there

[FearDeK1TTIES]

when i played round 1 i used the infestor neuro parasite against the immortal and it was perfect :)

[YukiIsoya08]

Likes-dicks-lick? Dyslexic?

[MrBsides]

Good stuff! Thanks for these vids....*lysdexic, dyslecs*...LOL!

[LostRaider6378]

Sweet! It for some reason never occurred to me that you could neural parasite then burrow real quick. Now it actually will serve a purpose for me. Also, I keep forgetting that alt shows health on all units, which is much more effective than trying to find which one is getting hit. Thanks again for the little tips! :D

[131u357r34k]

@LostRaider6378 You might also like having all of the units or only selected units' health bars come up. The settings menu allows you to pick one of those three options for displaying health ^^

[dutchdrag0n]

why not burrow your brutalisks and w8 for collosus to come close then pop out and kill them, and if they are damaged very badly just burrow again o.O

[RebornInFlames7892]

How do you get your display pics to move around when you highlight a certain character?

[FredrickCajero]

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

[TheWoodstock2009]

do the infested terrans count as losses?

[kingfiirenze]

@TheWoodstock2009 They dont, no :)

[lavon9305]

what brew was you sippin on

[Mast3rBruc31]

hahaha this guy is ridiculous

[quest5692]

3rd round broodlord could take out all archorns and zealots. so you could focus all ur forces at the btm with nasty immortals...

[witchapparatus]

I tried the burrow MC-thing. Can't seem to pull it off. Parasite doesn't work when the thing is underground, and if the guy is above ground, once the 'site takes hold, he can't burrow then. I must be missing something. ><

[justinuribe]

Nice job, with this, I went the whole thing with out losing any units. :P

[STFUandSTFD]

On the third round, i sent 4 broodlords against the immortal/stalkers, and they took no damage.

[MrSneakzor]

You can just let the zerglings go alone against Immortal. Just burrow always the zergling what gets hitted. You just need to be a bit fast, zergs die from 2immortal hit.

[BirdsEyeV1ew]

on the first round i used the infestor to mind control the immortal XD

[Necromanaic]

im having alot of trouble kiteing for everything.. lol any suggestions on how i can either improve or avoid kiteing?

[SUMMEYWISE]

brewskisssssss

[connorkwl]

this is the most frustrating one :|

[Foxhound1112]

you should have sent your ultras against the void rays. what a retard xD

[guitaronlineru]

thanx, it works!

[darkspawn980]

i actually burrowed my ultralisks on part one, making a square shape and when they passed over them, i unburrowed them, and all attacks hit only one ultra, burrowing him when he was dying and nothing lost there.

[eighteen4eva]

i sent all broodlords to e stalkers and immortals cuz e AI actually focus fires on e broodlings

[godzilla45654]

@eighteen4eva where the hell are the t's and the h's in the "the"s?

[eighteen4eva]

@godzilla45654 ???

[EtherStar555]

roaches can kite the zealots all alone without losing anything with no burrow or infestors

[anarchy22x]

in round 1 of this challenge u could have placed 3 brood lords and have them fly slightly on over the rocks in the bottom of the screen and nothing will attack them and the enemies will just sit there and attack the broodlings as they come in.

[SylarAtomic]

Thank you so much:)

[DragonAce9]

nureal the immortal gg =p

[demonkid1255]

what macro do you use to monitor your troops health and your enemys health?

[Aquamissile42]

@demonkid1255 Hold ALT. It shows all the bars.

[demonkid1255]

@Aquamissile42 thx im still a scrub at this game :P

[DakotaTheMidget]

shoulda just used the infestor to mind control the 1 immortal and 1 ling kill it lol

[dessan18]

Thank you!

[gomerfa]

wow, the video quality !!!

[LegendaryHero18]

i used some of this guide and changed it a few ways but still awesome

[jindesu]

Round 2 - if you want, you can kite the zealots forever with one ultra, and 2-3 mutas to kill every one of those zealots. This frees up the infestor to infested marines the voidrays, and a crapload of burrow-moved roaches for the stalkers.

I like your round 3 composition

[SnakezPlaneZ]

How did you have the camera follow the ultrallisk at 0:53?

[Spacedragon90]

@SnakezPlaneZ Crtl+Shift+f forces the camera to follow the selected unit.

[PwnManDude]

What were youdrinking. xD

[runemashta]

Lmao fungal splooging XDD
