[@darkmight3964]

107 Facts about Slime Rancher ? or Starbound ? Please ?

[@cindersprite7821]

I play protoss most of the time but I like to switch it up some times and play a bit of zerg

[@daas6111]

The Leaderboard protoss ftw

[@4evrsonic]

The Leaderboard 107 mortal kombat facts

[@ChaoticKey29912]

The Leaderboard I like to play as the protoss cause you can create a character that can mind control other players and use their race against them. Also can you do a 107 First Encounter Assault Recon facts video?

[@DerpSpY205]

Why do you keep showing League clips...

[@zakkf794]

4:43 starcraft BROOD war*** not blood.

[@rockyrex6219]

Hey they're not perfect, ok

[@motmahp]

Narrators saying so many smart things always make me think that they actually know what they're talking about. Turns out he didn't even know the name of my game :-).

[@Idontknow-jd1wu]

The sad thing is he said it right later

[@SC2HL]

Showing league clips -_-

[@trident4555]

Oh wow. I just subbed at you and saw this comment....

[@claritys4818]

SC2HL the best of all of us who is in

[@harrisontaylor5311]

XD

[@onyx1391]

Woa

[@ArchOfWinter]

Bonus fact!: The demo for the original Starcraft isn't the first few mission of the game like other game demos, it was an original, fully voiced, but very short campaign that is a prequel to the full game.

[@NaReBlind]

Why are you showing League of Legends Clip rather than Starcraft clips? oh well..

[@thelegendarypandicorn1777]

LoL copied DotA, which came from Warcraft's engine. So did SC.

[@NaReBlind]

Warcraft II>Starcraft MOBA MAP>Warcraft III MOBA MAP which is Dota>LoL>some other moba>Dota 2

[@badtiming2208]

Yes, HoN came before LoL. Dota 2 came out after LoL, but the original DotA (by IceFrog, I believe) came before LoL and HoN. It was a custom map/mode created in WC3

[@ninjaong87]

I couldn't watch on after seeing LoL clip in this video.. COMON! Get someone who actually knows the game edit this fcking thing..

[@tgsoon2002]

@GrishThey charge money for it so they not gain popularity as fast as leage or dota.

[@itsillusive2288]

Talks about starcraft. Shows league of legends.

[@THEATOMBOMB035]

Was just about to say this

[@Soulchunk]

MY WIFE FOR HIRE

[@AllRockAintEmo]

[@coachablespoon9838]

Need a light?

[@sportspro2.049]

I have no time for sitten around

[@orangvii3633]

My life for hire

[@LokiTheAnsuz]

I really liked the video!! Here are some important facts corrections: - "Aditional pylons" plays when you try to build units while out of supply, not buildings. - The Eon of Strife is not the reason of the small number of troops, that literally happened eons ago. In fact, their numbers are not small at all, they're just fewer than the Zerg. The technology required to warp in troops and their Caste system are far more likely reasons behind their apparent small numbers. - Infestation is not the mechanism of evolution for the Zerg, it's Assimilation.

[@bin250]

4:45 he just said bloodwar lol

[@Diceyed]

I feel like there might be enough facts to do another 107 on starcraft: like the fact that if you type in "Zerg Rush" into Google you are given a treat, or that announcer "Artosis" is known for the term "Artosis Pylon" where he left a Protoss Pylon being the soul pylon for a large section of his factories, once it got destroyed he lost the game due to being overwhelmed. You even completely missed the "Tauren Marine" reference.

[@tiagon5363]

18:19 "heart of the Storm"

[@alexfriedman2047]

lol " StarCraft and StarCraft Blood war" Yeah this guy really knows about starcraft lol

[@FortPlz]

6:06 Man, I love those famous StarCraft characters "Fen-icks" "Zoss" "Vulture" and "Goliath"

[@iwalkwithzombies]

why did I even watch this, lel

[@BeakerPD]

Also, "Ar-toast-ess"

[@alexfriedman2047]

@Hate fueled You do!! When you get destroyed 1v1 against my protoss or Terran and I show noobs no mercy.

[@christopherbennett1173]

Starcraft bloodwar? omg.....Fact 108, The expansion is called broodwar...

[@TheOwlMan8850]

Chris Bennett Bloodwar sounds so much more metal

[@Cpt_Zed]

@@TheOwlMan8850 and cooler then brood war

[@invictakaizeros7821]

hell... It's about time

[@swift9515]

god dam TYCHUS WHY DID U BETRAY!!!, i mean u could have just lived in the suit...and not get a bullet between the eyes...

[@ouroboros7243]

Arcturus had a killswitch in the suit, so that Tychus had no choice if he wanted to live.

[@Danish_raven]

not arcturus, but the mobeus foundation...

[@swift9515]

oooooo that makes sense, well, then scerw arcturus!!!

[@swift9515]

THEN SCREW THE MOBEUS FONDATION!!!!!

[@Zenkai76]

I buying the origional SC the day it came out. I didn't even open the box for 4 weeks. I was too busy having fun playing diablo and only bought it because my friends were into it. Holy! Did I get addicted! I played it soo much I use to brag that I was so good that I once beat a Korean. ;) Anyway, thanks for this video, I enjoyed it

[@ChaoticKey29912]

Fun Fact In Starcraft 2 in the mission where you first meet Gabriel Tosh somewhere on the bottom of the map you can find Diablo

[@stigma4122]

whoever made the video, wtf meyn? video is about starcraft but you're using lol clips. what is up with that?

[@deadpwner99]

they should have had n64 fact as #64 instead of #63

[@marcussmith7409]

Starcraft multiplayer is how I learned how to type on keyboard, literally.

[@ultrainstinctshaggyalmight6429]

[@Raminatorification]

[@olivius8891]

I will quote Artanis : THIS IS NOT WARCRAFT IN SPACE

[@LordVarion1]

he just said starcraft and starcraft bloodwar *FacePalm* 4:44

[@Germz4U]

4:44 Starcraft Blood war.. yep i remember that game! the one where if you weaken an enemy unit then type in abacabb you can do a fatality!

[@SlimRhyno]

You folks freakin' WRECKED that episode 💪!! Much respect and admiration 🙏

[@esuark6202]

14:15 Not only that, she is in Starcraft Ghost: Spectres Edit: LOOOL "Heart of the Storm" 18:18

[@Cyber_kumo]

107 Command and Conquer facts, please.

[@Silverity1]

107 facts I read off the starcraft wikipedia article!

[@Rhinopotamus]

Best joke I ever heard in High School was from a friend, "How do you tell your parents that you're gay? Play protoss." #Terran4Life

[@NemesisMKIII]

YOU MADE THE STARCRAFT 64 PORT FACT NUMBER 63 INSTEAD OF 64!? YOU FAILURES.

[@motmahp]

7:51 Pretty sure the guy with the mic is James Harper (Mengsk). It seems tough to find many pictures of Jack Ritschel though.

[@Renox_GG]

Me in SC2: *giggles uncontrollably as I send 400 +3 +3 speedlings towards my enemies main*

[@theovermind4054]

6:37 about time i showd up

[@c0mathewhale32]

The swarm shall prevail

[@maelstrumyes3595]

*Highly Addictive* *Pic shows of League Tourny*

[@DT1502]

0:08 3:45 4:57 what starcraft is this? looks like SC1 but has some SC2 units

[@tiagon5363]

DT1502 it's a mod

[@DT1502]

thanks for the info. Do you know which one?

[@TNYNPSAB]

Probably SCII with a graphics mod, I doubt the narrator could tell the difference

[@TheImpolitelad]

Fact 108: Starcraft was almost deleted. Mere days before the file had to be sent to manufactures to be burned onto disc and sent to stores, the finished file that was all of Starcraft was accidentally deleted. An employee was clearing out his work PC and deleted his own copy of the game, unfortunately that file was in a special folder than copied any changes made to the server. This automatically deleted the master file from the server. Luckily an employee had a work in progress copy, that was a few months behind, still at home. Developers worked day and night to rebuild the months of lost work. Thankfully they finished on time with few problems.

[@sheilaolfieway1885]

"This isn't Warcraft in space! It's much more sophisticated!"

[@ATAGChozo]

Can you do 107 facts about Jak and Daxter?

[@Dr4g0nBlade]

Talks about starcraft competitions but shows LoL competitions

[@AnoNiMuse]

lol 🤣

[@NekoHibaCosplay]

9:18 laughing out loud for the pieces of the 2014 League of Legends final

[@Keeriganify]

Heart of the swarm wasn't standalone, legacy of the void was. Also 18:18

[@KewlCrayon]

Fenix (fennicks? kek) was also the voice actor of the Grunt, Peon, and Footman in WC3. "For Auir!" "Zug Zug!"

[@orangvii3633]

Bonus fact Jim raynor from Starcraft and Emile from halo have a skull covering the majority of their Visors

[@DarklyVision]

Ever notice how, the Zerg are like the demons in diablo (Diablo's horns are the same as the Zerg carapace design wise, while the Protoss are like the angels what with the wings and armour colour and shape).

[@ktaikamatika1397]

7:55 not sure if its a mistake, but it sure looks like one. You are talking about Jack Ritschel, yet you show a pic of James Harper, who was Mengsk. Although, for a long time IMDB wrongly listed Zeratul under James Harper.

[@TheImpolitelad]

8:35 - That is the current HQ. If memory servers they were camping out 42 Corporate Park, Irvine, CA 92606.

[@reidsimonson]

That isnt professional basketball at 13:06. That is Nigel Hayes for UW Wisconsin. Go Badgers.

[@SmashingPixels]

5:27 what a fantastic expansion

[@spiritwolfgaming1506]

Wow! Just realized that Starcraft is my favorite game series, and Starcraft 2 came out on my birthday! What a coincidence.

[@ItsNep]

I didn't even play starcraft or have any interest in playing it until it became free from blizzard, but god once my friends and I started playing it together I got hooked.

[@tactical1013]

4:43 StarCraft blood war?

[@AmanShah187]

Wow lol are there really people out there who didn't know where "you have not enough pylons" came from or what or meant? that crazy man I feel olds.

[@KeishinB237]

They require additional pylons

[@RealMailou]

Ethan Krisanski nice one m8

[@hatchwayne2173]

I missed that one, where does the saying come from?

[@TNYNPSAB]

i'm surprised no one knew that.

[@ramsbottom4745]

S P A W N M O R E O V E R L O R D S

[@nickvinsable3798]

There is only ONE RACE that I'd like to Play, but it was actually an NPC only race at the very end of "Legacy of the Void".

[@drogacokane7667]

Blizzard's first esport? SC is the father of esports

[@Gabd3v]

Um guys you forgot to mention that Starcraft wast 1st supposed to be a 40k game but Games workshop pulled out one month away from show

[@anah.7876]

"Warcraft goes purple" LMAO! 2:00

[@missyjames8887]

Starcraft ghost was to release on my birthday, I spent most of it walking around the city hopefully finding a copy or at least an answer to why it was delayed...

[@Longngao]

this is the first time i see the Starcraft : Ghost ingame clip. Where did you find this clip?

[@drakemcelyea9697]

#22 did I hear blood war, get your facts mate

[@tommyrutherford400]

Growing up in south Korea means learning how to play StarCraft at a competitive level

[@LibertyJava]

They should organize Starcraft matches by IQ, like boxers are organized by weight, it's the same thing, IQ gives a huge advantage.

[@Alacron]

"Raynor is the Fury Car?" *Goes and watches clip* "Son of a bitch it is him."

[@810wasaninsidejob9]

Metzen is a freaking God, he's been involved in every fantastic Blizzard game. Blizzard pre-Activision were the best developers ever.

[@Buggaboo222]

do another 107 facts about The Walking Dead please?!??!!!????

[@525Lines]

Galactic Civilizations. I know it's an old OS/2 game but I think it's still around.

[@keisufederationmapping2748]

starcraft is the reason im so good at computer games. also if only i knew the cwal cheat code when i was younger :p

[@TNYNPSAB]

Same for the first part

[@thatthatch]

So watching this video made me buy the StarCraft 64 game. 22 dollars well spent. I love classic games. Blood war brood war. Real knows real, pleanty of good info minus the wrong pronoucment

[@Cnote1024]

Hey leaderboard, what font did you use and how did you make it look like that?

[@danekingrokabas4347]

107 facts and not one mentioning Warhammer 40k.

[@patrickmccormick6251]

why would they? begging acknowledgement for 40k so much? eww pathetic fanboy

[@sovietgrandpa6660]

Patrick Mccormick boi look at the two side by side, you have to admit that sc got visual inspiration from 40k

[@patrickmccormick6251]

+Sovietgrandpa 69 sorry i can't find any. explain how

[@sovietgrandpa6660]

The Zerg look like Tyranids and bolth have the same kind of mind set, the Terrans have big mechanized suits of armor with abnormally big shoulders, And The eldar look only a little like the protos and what not, but they are culturally similar, just not very.

[@patrickmccormick6251]

+Sovietgrandpa 69 yeah as if halo, starship trooper, xenomorph, gear of wars, or basically average franchise that involves alien waging race war against human on the space aren't having something similar. it's called tropes. like how in almost every fantasy genre you will find dwarf, elf, orc, dragon, or at least one of them, but nobody would call them lotr rip-off just because lotr is much older. your aforementioned similarities have been tropes in scifi genre for a long time, it's almost inevitable for each own to share similarity at slightest bit. actually if you compare things from a rather more general aspect, at some point they will eventually look similar to you. like how jedi uses psychic, jedi is religious, jedi lives in space, librarian uses psychic, librarian is religious, librarian lives in space. 40k copied starwars cuntfirmed

[@MasthaX]

Nova is also a playable high burst damage character in Heroes of the Storm (which is also free) just like SC nowadays.

[@hamodycraft1345]

Did you know that your units become invincible during cutscenes? Don't believe me? Try the mission zero hour.

[@vibrid2810]

did you actually say starcraft blood war... disgusting

[@chasevanhumbeck4053]

The one about marauders being upgraded and different firebats. Lol, i assumed that from the moment i saw them.

[@gatts6217]

I am a fan of blizzard.. i played the firat starcraft when i was 6 years old, 12 years old playing diablo 3, 14 years old play hots n starcraft 3! Love their game so much!!!

[@reaperreaper9593]

Gamers, if you haven't tried playing StarCraft, -you now can for free-... you're not gamers!

[@Botar48]

reaper reaper Second game is better.

[@Jinx_Skeel]

no it isn't. brood war forever

[@ChristianJayMagowan]

i'm not a gamer per se, but it extended my college years... ohh well, that's my late 90's story and I had StarCraft with it .

[@till9652]

reaper reaper You can play for free?

[@reaperreaper9593]

Yeah, the original one is free to play now. The second one has a starter edition and is cheap if you want to buy the full version.

[@Left4Sharkbait]

I like zerg the most, I just wish Dehaka and the primal zerg were a playable race.

[@mn-pegasus]

The Zerg campaign is just a series of NO KERRIGAN DONT DO THAT

[@DaxOrien]

Tanya, by most accounts, including her ex-husband, says she didn't hire him. I'm inclined to believe. She admits to knowing after the fact.

[@RichDupre]

We miss you old Blizzard.

[@Tiflow]

let's see some go'ol StarCraft esports scene.. oh look a Summoner's cup... and another one

[@mrfreakinest]

WHAT! 107 is the best!!! i didn't know that!!!

[@tsenguun]

Was hoping to mention Jaedong Flash and Stork, but oh well...

[@ebeall6344]

iplay zerg when im being real but terran are more eazy to rp with while alone dont judge me

[@tiagon5363]

EBeall I used to do rping as well no I just go on the arcade for that

[@tiagon5363]

now*

[@rheiagreenland4714]

There's a certain charm about games with craft in the name... Minecraft Warcraft StarCraft World of 2 3 2

[@nicholasfactor]

Terran!!! But everyone plays Coop now so now every race and every commander :D

[@nhblackdc5]

lol @12:00 you see one of the biggest cheaters in competitive Starcraft. He went to prison for match-fixing. Considering that this is a video on Starcraft facts why didn't they show another more respectable champion like Polt aka Captain America. He is highly respectable, a great champion, and was even featured on CNN. They know Polt got a visa for America because he is a good player but they don't know Life is a cheater... lol

[@tosemusername]

#83 and #84: I will never forgive Blizzard for this.

[@tomatlars]

Invisibility was available Warcraft 2 So to say that the spell cloke was a reason for a change of engine can not be true

[@cimiur]

Nice video, but it has to be said that every sc2 professional team in korea has been disbanded last year, except Jin Air Green Wings. So, it is not true anymore that big companies support SC2. It is still true for broodwar though.

[@KillerOrca]

They upped the Battlecruiser's crew to 8000 I think.

[@samuelvelasco1354]

Video about starcraft By: someone who never played starcraft

[@lmeza1983]

I think adding LAN support for sc2 should be done now

[@kingmarsh4657]

Fact 108: It is the national sport of South Korea.

[@MetalKing1417]

0:09 wait... what's a Raven doing in SC1!?

[@Bscybfan1996]

9:13 what is froggen doing in this starcraft video xD

[@ub3rfr3nzy94]

4:45 STARCRAFT BLOOD WAR? ARE YOU KIDDING ME. AND IT'S FENIX (PHEONIX) NOT FENNIX FFS Well now I know that the narrator knows nothing about starcraft and misread brood war. Kinda ruins it for me since now this whole thing seems fake.

[@TNYNPSAB]

I agree, I doubt he’d ever heard of Starcraft before this

[@patrickallenpimentel3062]

operation cwal is a cheat that enables you to build/train stuff faster, becase you can't wait any longer.

[@whitewolfcrowley6550]

20:30 Where is this link at?

[@forita100]

What's with all the SC2 footage ?

[@BenderUnit22x]

I know a lot of the old footage has been lost, but you can't just show League of Legends Worlds footage and pass it off as Brood War competitions.
