Starcraft Brood War - Zerg 04 "Liberation of Korhal"in 10:54

This was not done by me. It was done by Alex "aresake" Eustis.

Note: I cut a couple seconds from the end so that it would fit on YouTube.

Author's comments:

"1 -- Buildup: There isn't much that can go wrong here, once you've memorized what to do.

2 -- Zergling wave vs. blue: This phase was only about average. It's possible to lose a lot fewer zerglings than I did. But I was happy that orange's attack went straight for the four sunkens I had prepared. (This attack goes to a random location; some locations kill the run.)

3 -- Destruction of orange: This is where the run really began to gain time over my other attempts. I got my hydras to the front in an organized fashion, and then the zerglings arrived at precisely the right moment. If they get there too soon, you lose most of them.

4 -- Destruction of white: White's defenses are considerable; they have enough goliaths, marines and medics that they can end the run by breaking through that wall of hydras. But this time, the momentum from the previous phase carried through, and all their attempts at organizing a defense were stopped before they started. I'm pretty sure my casualties during this phase were the lowest ever.

5 -- Cleanup: I lost several seconds here. My dealing with those three lurkers was pretty disastrous. Also notice how that lone missile turret was the last building I destroyed; there's no good reason for that. But at least I noticed it in time to keep the run sub-11. This is a very good time."

Do you know what difficulty level he played on?

[soulhunger1]

@IgorWelkenbach There are no difficulty settings.

Is anyone else hearing a loud chirping noise during the video?

[soulhunger1]

@llVIU This speed run was not done by me. It was done by somebody else. I simply uploaded the videos. I don't play SCBW anymore, and I was never very good to begin with.

I'm not interested in it. Now, if you're going to be an arrogant prick, do so elsewhere, thanks.

@soulhunger1 So its unlike the original StarCraft on that matter?

[llVIU]

@soulhunger1 oh lol now I wasn't expecting that at all, please do make a video on this mission

[llVIU]

@soulhunger1 keep playing them, maybe you'll get better

[soulhunger1]

@llVIU What? That's not relevant. The speed run is on single player mode.

[llVIU]

@soulhunger1 try to do that in multiplayer

[soulhunger1]

@llVIU It's actually a time saver. The game is paused while the tips screen is shown. So you can position the cursor before starting, to shave off a bit more time.

X show tips at start-up
