Can you beat Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty as a genocidal monster?

[@DaveyGunface]

So this is extremely late, but I'm pinning a new comment here because I realized that this video lacked critical lore™ This video was made after my failed Pacifism run that actually got extremely far, but just fell apart once we reached Char, in which I decided to denounce pacifism and embrace genocide. However after these videos were released, my good friend Grant (see the previously pinned top comment below) asked me if he could make a pacifism video as his early attempts fell apart during Zero Hour, in which I replied with "Yeah dude, I don't have legal ownership over pacifism, go right ahead" in which my guy cleared Gates of Hell and even managed to prove that All In is theoretically possible. So I went ahead and unlisted my video so more traffic could go to his instead, but that kind of removes a lot of context for this video so I'm going to leave a link to my original video below here; kzbin.info/www/bejne/invCnmiJp9mcn9Esi=GLsx-nlZoAXexkJx To state it outright I'd recommend watching Grants video instead, but I figured I'd leave some clarification since I've been asked about it kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWnXp62Ql72JY9Usi=bxNswCXj-5G-d9Or

[@joshuakim5240]

It's also a great way to doomdrop into the Protoss bases in The Dig. No dealing with any bullshit ramps and the Hercules themselves after dropping provide nice aerial vision while soaking some hits with their huge hp pools. They can also be used in All-In for a similar purpose if you want to destroy the Zerg bases a different way than Hive Mind Emulator spam. Although for that, Kerrigan is way more annoying to deal with if you're not using mind controlled Brood Lords.

About the Outbreak mission, the infesters are as a matter of fact, actually BURROWED at those spots. Which means that you can have an SCV just build a missle turret during the day and kill it with no problem. Just be careful that it doesn't move out of detection range. If it takes damage it'll start burrowing away.

If you get through new folsom before the missions that require wiping protoss bases, nukes become your best friend. Make a bunch of silos, make nukes constantly, and just wipe the bases with constant strikes.

Ackshually, if you watched Grant's streams of this challenge, you'd know that in order to kill everything in Smash and Grab, you have to let the zerg get close enough to the end to activate the stone zealots on the zergs' side (your own forces can't activate them). You then have to leave one of those stone zealots alive and kill it between you killing the last terran-side stone zealot and the mission ending. Also, something something bottom right of All In.
