Do 125 Marauders beat 40 Siege Tanks?

Can you predict the outcomes?
Round 1 ▶ Marauder vs Siege Tank
Round 2 ▶ Liberator vs Mutalisk
Round 3 ▶ Immortal vs Zealot
Round 4 ▶ Mothership vs Thor
PLAYLIST: • Tya's Unit Brawls
#Tya #SC2 #StarCraft2
Tya's Unit Tournament features epic battles between units in StarCraft 2, using music from the game's soundtrack. Units are chosen either Protoss, Terran and Zerg forces, or a co-op commander such as Raynor, Nova, Artanis, or Kerrigan. Units use their abilities as directed by a basic AI. All units use Legacy of the Void stats, the same units you'd see in SC2 e-sports. Though this project is a work in progress, and there are errors that will need to be fixed, so point them out if you spot any! The resource beneath vespene is the unit's cost in the mod I run on the SC2 arcade, Direct Strike. Enjoy!

More like a better surround. If the wave came in wider it woulda been even worse for the immortals. So many zeolots didn't do jack for aaaages.

Nice. Let’s mix it up. Multiple unit combinations. I’d love to see that!! For example 20 zealots/10 voidrays vs 30 marines/5 bcs. Idk. Just a thought. Keep up the great work!

[@tetegaming7402]

As always, terrans show their incredible efficency when it comes to brutally murdering stuff... enven tho you won't see 20 motherships everyday...

[@Skorpion1991]

nah, thor is the easiest unit to kill, and 20 motherships is a joke, I think 1 mothership and 19 carriers would be stronger. Here 20 motherships made 4 slowing bubbles while normally 1 mothership can make 2, so here it was like 18 motherships didnt use their skills. And thor has no skill it can only fight, still you can see only few of them survive with red hp! Usually when i play skytoss and my opponent playing mass thors I become happy because I know it is wrong choice and I already won

[@tetegaming7402]

@@Skorpion1991 In terms of efficiency, I was more thinking of the siege tank, for thros it depends... Thros are strong against individual target, and of course, the mothership is not really a combat unit, it is a spell caster... but in terms of AA Thors can be pretty good with their massive damages and long range, but the unit isn't cheap and you have to play very well to use it properly. I have no doubt about a good skytoss player to slowly take them appart with carriers and not going straight to oblivion attempting a simple A-move that could win, but at an heavy price... That's is all my point, if you have a rebuttal, I would gladly continue the debate to progress in my understanding of starcraft. All we have to remember is the we're playing an RTS, so every strategy have the merit tho be examined thoroughly to be declared viable or not. Have a good day !

[@Skorpion1991]

@@tetegaming7402 yes with just skytoss i would destroy that thors barely and slowly, but if I add few disruptors i kick them out of the universe in the blink of an eye and with minimal loses. When i play against terran I always have some disruptors not many to keep fleet strong, but few of them is huge help against every ground units especially thors who are too slow to run from the balls and get every supernovas on the face

An eskalation would be great. Like 10.000 minerals two factions against each other and every 20 sec. The next wave of another unit spawns in and joins the fight. Like first marines for 10k minerals than 20 sec. Later marauder, then reapers and so one.

Those motherships did surprisingly well, considering how their attacks are split into 6 separate attacks and their rate of fire is so slow.

Look at the resources spent for the libs-mutas. Libs are a hard counter, but if you give the mutas enough resources spent they'll eventually beat anything.

[@Cowclops]

@@wicem4 I expected the libs to win but when they didn't i looked more closely at the minerals/gas... 8500/8500 in mutas beat 3750/3750 in libs? I'm starting noticing a trend where the videos don't really try to show either a "surprising" outcome (lower resources beats higher resources) or "yep this is what you'd expect" (equal resources and the unit that counters the other wins). What it does show is that it doesn't take very many libs to dunk on mutas. Though this is all with no micro too so that changes things up a little. Lets see 4500 mutas vs 3750 libs. (Libs probably win that one).

WOW ok I was doing SO good 3/1 mother ships were basically cannon fodder I was really surprised

[@jonsmith5058]

I feel like the Marauders would have done a much better job if they had closed the gap. If they ran forward and forced the front tanks to unsiege and take some friendly fire it could’ve turned the tide.

[@asterpw]

I got 3/4. I thought the liberators would win but these battles are pretty spaced out.

[@Matt-ln7lb]

Motherships might have won with 100% uptime on the attack speed slow. They had probably less than 50%, and the fight was close. Easily could have been stacking fields to maintain perfect uptime with the amount of energy available. Liberators would have won if the Mutas were more clumped. Zealots would have crushed it if they got a surround faster (same thing with ling vs immortals in previous videos). Marauders vs Tanks could have been a lot more one-sided if the tanks sieged up at max range instead of at ~7 range or could have flipped the other direction if the tanks didn't siege or started sieging after the marauders began shooting.

[@kurzackd]

I will never understand why this guy doesn't want to face off the units in more realistic scenarios... For example, rather than waiting for the siege tanks to siege until it is too late, have them already sieged before the fight starts. Rather than having melee/short-range units walk in line-by-line to get slaughtered by range, have them attack from at least 2 sides... REALISM !!!

[@nicholasng9814]

How is it realistic? most of these battles are impossible in regular 1v1. Also it will never be realistic unless you watch GM players actually micro these units. I dont think the purpose of the channel is to test who wins but more so for us viewers to "wager" which we think will win considering the given scenario

[@kurzackd]

@@nicholasng9814 yes, you're right, but it's still cringe to watch like 10 tanks die before they are even sieged.

Thors dominate over most air units. Even Batlecruisers, who used to beat Thors, now lost.

[@Skorpion1991]

bc are beating thors, void rays are even pure counter to them, carriers/brood lords also arent bad. Another thing is that thor is super slow and immobile because can't fly, it is also very easy to counter. I mean if you counter BC/Carriers or Brood lords+coruptors you will have to struggle anyway because it will be always hard and risky, and thors are one of the easiest units to counter, especially disruptors

[@jimmyha1898]

Not really. If the Battlecruisers use Yamato after teleporting on top of them, it's an easy win for the BCs. The only reason why Thors beat BCs in an A-move fight is because of the immense difference in range (11 range Thor vs 6 range BCs).

[@Skorpion1991]

@@jimmyha1898 "If the Battlecruisers use Yamato after teleporting on top of them, it's an easy win for the BCs" In that case you will lose even more and easier than I though before, you can fire yamato from far away so why you teleport on tempest if you can do it from distance? that make no sense dude.... you should first shoot yamato and than jump on tempest to be able to shoot them from regular attack. Because what you say is that you use both skills and remember that you need 2 bc to kill 1 tempest with yamato, so you will always only kill half of the tempest and than you will be in huge troubles

[@Skorpion1991]

​@@jimmyha1898 and about thors, yes thor have 11 range and BC have 6, its almost 2x bigger range but BC have almost +50% hp and +50% damage than thors, so normally even on A-move BC win easly. I was testing them so its the fact (without using yamato) The problem is that in that battle here BC fly to the 6 range and after killing thor they stop, than they has to fly closer and start fire again, than stop fire again and come closer, so they have a lot of pauses in shooting without reason while thors shoot constantly. If he move that BC a 1 step closer, or just fly above that thors to not allow that pauses BC normally win thors easly because of huge power level difference

nah its very good unit, not only as fighting unit but its also support unit, its a mix fighting+supporting unit. Thor can only shoot, Ms make your army invisible so terran has to scan all the time, it slow down the enemies and gives you additional recall.
