Starcraft Brood War - Protoss 08 "Countdown" in 13:23 - part 1/2

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

Part 1 - Starting the countdown.

Author's comments:

"The objective for speedrunning this mission is to start the countdown timer as soon as possible and still survive. I tried a number of different defenses, including combinations of dark templar, air units, reavers, even arbiters, but in the end I became convinced that the awesomeness of psi storm trumps all. Adun was clearly on my side, enabling me to start the countdown without any initial defense on the temple, then move in and fry all 374 of the attacking zerg."

lol i spent a lot of hours to finish this mission, i decided to kill all zerg forces and buildings, i went for carriers with corsairs and arbiter, after 2 hours i forgot that i had to bring zeratul and artanis to start countdown, so when i destroyed everything i had to wait another 10 minutes)

[TheVajln]

Artanis looks like a zealot

@SwiftNyce

Yeah, every unit can be countered in this game, there is no unfairness, that is the charm of this game.

[the1337fleet]

Took me over an hour to beat this mission!

[SwiftNyce]

its the best becuase its the most balance RTS out there to date... most games you just mass one units that had NO weakness and win... this agme EVERY units has a weakness

[StuartTheGamerNerd]

you know if you right click the shortcut to the game and go to compatibility and check run in 256 colors and the 640x480 resolution you can than launc hthe game...wait for your taskbar to appear in grey at the bottom of the screen and simply left click one time and it will fix the messed up colors in the game menu's and everything...just thought i'd let you know :)
