Zerglings In Bunkers?? - The StarCraft 2 Community Elimination Challenge! - pt6

[@GiantGrantGamesArchives]

Hey guys, TwitchTrollsGrant, my BIGGEST event of the year, starts this Friday, August 23rd! Show up at 2PM Pacific at www.twitch.tv/giantgrantgames for an absolutely AMAZING adventure!

[@GreatSuperBlade]

Can you put it on KZbin

[@Casimir1998]

Too bad about the abrupt ending. I enjoyed the series.

[@yohanvuignier1270]

Hey grant, I usually don't leave comments, as i'm not an native english speaking person, but i really love this serie and i think it leads to a lot of occasions where you can show some one-unit mission strategy you built up, and where when can just send you straight up crap to max troll you. You could say, for exemple, that every time we make you lose, we get a point or something, and you can change 1 unit, or add one, anything. And everytime you succeed a 1 unit run, you get like a 1/3 of a point, or what you WANT. Just... Continue, this serie is great, and the biggest majority of the history of statistics would like to see you go on. Keep trying bro, You are awesome AND YOU WON'T LET US TALK MY BOY 😂

[@romanninjaprincess4477]

Sad that this was the last real episode in this series, I was having a lot of fun watching this and was looking forward to these releases. Sorry to see how it ended x.x Looking forward to TwitchTrollsGrant.

[@Luwi1996]

Please don't end this. 300 people voted for the composition, 1500 people liked this video, clearly there are at least 5 times more people who like this series. And I believe no one thought of the archon at the start and that the mission would be over this quickly.

We have all seen the Ihan crystals a hundred times- Artanis: You have seen seen nothing! A spectre’s psionic breakdown from terrazine is one thing, unleashing them on humanity is another! You must go into this with both eyes open… are you prepared to go all the way, Karax? Karax: Yes… I am prepared to go all the way. Artanis: Good… I knew could count on you.

In all the Starcraft I've played and watched, I think this is the first time I've seen Zerglings in a Bunker complete an objective.

[@ZerglingLover]

Because of Grant, this isn’t my first time seeing zerglings in a bunker- but it is the first time I’ve seen zerglings in a bunker complete an objective, too.

[@flamerollerx01]

@@ZerglingLover Did you see it in the eternal randomizer mod? I saw it in my own edited map well before that campaign mod came out and even before the ccm was a twinkle in grants eye. I thought it would be funny to put non-marines in a bunker, then I tried to mod it and found out literally everything can work in a bunker, provided it has a weapon and many abilities will even work in a bunker, though the logic for it is a bit random/obscure and sometimes confusing. I also am not very good with the editor. I don't even know how to make a true mod, in the sense of the thing you can load with a multiplayer ladder map in the arcade through custom games. I've edited and saved a "mod" but can't figure out how to get it to actually work.

[@vaniellys]

Hey Grant, please do not end this series. It's genuinely fun to watch. The composition for The Dig was just stupid, you should have at least one combat unit.

[@TandalfBeast]

I agree i want it to continue. I interpreted it as people either thinking Grant can do the impossible and win without attacks or just that people have taken the meme/challenge of winning too far

[@theodoreabshire933]

I assume people just forgot about the starting section, and assumed he was going to win by spamming perdition and missile turrets.

[@Zephidal]

I was one of the people who took the challenge to be "see if it's possible to make grant lose" I've honestly been enjoying the series and would happily keep watching. I think it would work if you lost those uses of Medic, Hercules, Havoc and Medivac and then got to retry with other units you have, so it's more about seeing if you can get to the end with enough unit charges that you can beat all in.

[@InexplicableInside]

Yeah that video was so sad to see. Here I was hoping we'd get Grant a composition of ground zerg units and he might have to get quirky to deal with the skytoss, but instead people voted to end the challenge.

[@bluesbest1]

@@TandalfBeast I think the Havok/Hercules/Medic/Medivac thing was meant as a joke that got taken too far/too seriously. For one thing, when I (finally) found the comment, it mentioned having to use buildings to soak shots, Perditions, etc. I hope the intent was for him to either ignore the comment or try it and, after five minutes, return to the ship and go for a not-impossible comp.

I hope that the series continues. I dont think people wanted for it to end.

[@MrMamontos]

8:48 the medic that tried her best to heal an ally but was lured into a siege tank is heartbreaking tbh

[@Shadowhawkdark]

Whats funny is that he did it to like 3 or 4 different medics, just because he wasn't willing to wait the extra 0.2 seconds to heal the last few hp.

[@TankHunter678]

Well he did it because he wanted to use her as an energy tank. After all, tosh is a vampire.

[@LiquidDe8th]

Hi Grant, I'm sorry the vote for "The Dig" didn't go as planned. A lot of people voted for other compositions with attacking units, so I don't think people were trying to tell you to end the series! I'm sure we'd all be happy to continue with a new set of units if you're still up for it.

[@SittingOnEdgeman]

I did not realize negative gas ACTUALLY worked. That opens up whole faction ideas for factions that can only use gas or only use minerals, and then minerals or gas are only made as the "byproduct" of building low-efficiency low-tier troops, and then you use gas or minerals for your heavy hitters.

[@GummieI]

That is actually a neat idea for a faction, would love to see something like that in a mod

[@Adirbal]

In mods like Heart of Eyeser or Wings of Mengsk, that is how mineral to gas conversion was implemented. There were little [-10 minerals +3 gas] popups on buildings when you toggled that on.

[@GummieI]

@@Adirbal Not quite the same in terms of gameplay as suggested by SittingOnEdgeman

[@riluna3695]

A Xel'Naga faction split between the Purity of Form and Purity of Essence, with each one representing one of the resource types? Of course, that does kinda ruin the equality vibe by forcing one to be low-tier to earn the resources for the other, which would necessarily be stronger to make that worthwhile. Or if you made them equal, you'd then ruin the entire point of the split-resource mechanic in the first place. Darn, that had promise... Maybe go with a Kel-Morian theme instead? They're miners. They could harvest a bunch of minerals efficiently and then have gas byproducts. This one sounds like it has a better chance of working. Maybe someone can get on this for the mod where tons of new Coop Commanders are added :D

[@semioticwish]

I'm surprised we haven't seen this used for custom campaigns, a zerg/infested that need to amass biomass to grow complex units or a protoss needing to build presence in the kala to support strong psyonic units could make some really interesting gameplay.

[@gabrielstille5502]

I think Grant should go for the Dig with Phoenix, Corsair and mirage to make sure that those scary transports can’t get anywhere close to the drill. Also gotta show those Tal’darim who the REAL protoss are. Throw in energizer to keep that drill energized for its 174 gigawatts, we wouldn’t want to run out of power would we.

[@postignis8602]

I do wanna say I’ve really enjoyed this series, but I think that because the challenge to us was to make you lose, we ended up with what happened on the dig. I would honestly still love to see the good ending of this series!

[@bluesbest1]

Today's video felt something like Grant: "Your job is to make my life miserable." Chat: Makes his like miserable. Grant: O.O "I guess you guys don't like this series. Okay, I'll stop." He _did_ say he was too busy to read the room properly, so I guess he read us trying to have fun within the stated parameters as us...not wanting to have fun with it?

[@TusksTheAxew]

@@bluesbest1 To be fair, there is a difference between making his life miserable, and making the challenge actually impossible.

[@lombre4453]

@@TusksTheAxew I think he should have added one additional rule to the unit selection. i think the challenge would be funnier if we could not force him on useless units. It's easy to make him lose on any mission by picking only one unit. For example, we could give him the Warp prism on the BC mission and he's never winning. The challenge should be changed to be something fun and not just make the mission unplayable. I think the BC mission could be fun and challenging if it was Warp prism to move around the map with no air units. The thing is, he asked to make the mission very difficult and the goal is to make him lose. The easiest way is to pick bad composition on certain map, and he's gonna lose no matter what.

[@TusksTheAxew]

@@lombre4453 All very good points made. Some rule and wording changes could've been done i suppose, though i do still believe, in the spirit of the sport, he should at least be given a fighting chance; as you said, no useless comps. It's such a fun concept, just unfortunate that it opens the doors to an extremely unfun viewing experience, playing experience, or both.

[@shadowpaladin8412]

Since Comments are turned of on the next video... 341 people voted for no combat units, 222 voted for: Units that love to dig! Widow Mine Vultures (spider mines) Roach (tunneling claws) Banelings (manual detonation landmines!) There were also multiple compositions with over 100 votes (I counted 4). The majority did not choose no combat units (I am assuming people are voting for only one comment) or wanted the challenge to end. Just wanted to clear up that misunderstanding.

[@AleksanderDrako]

Yea, I was so confused. I remembered seeing the non-combat comment (can't find it now) and I saw it as a joke, I would only guess that people found it fun and upvoted it without taking it seriously. Honestly I would think Grant would at most feel the idea was bad, maybe entertain showing how badly and grab non joke one. But instead.... He seems hurt which is very sad. Personally I did enjoyed the series, would love to see more of it.

[@bonbondurjdr6553]

Agreed! I did say in the past that "Making Grant miserable isn't a fun mission objective" and I stand by that. I think that nobody really wanted to make Grant feel miserable in the next video and I hope that he will continue this series anyway.

Or how about "Well, this one didn't work. I did it for the meme, but now let's do something that _doesn't_ kill me at the zero second mark." Especially since that was _one_ comment among over a dozen. Honestly, we probably just caught him at a bad time (full schedule, exhausted, stressed, mind in too many places, etc). Hopefully, he'll be in a better mood after TTG and take a far more reasonable comp to The Dig.

Remember, for Maw of the Void, that Grant is an expert gamer, so you can feel free to use up all the massive air units, and protoss air units beforehand. I'm sure he can manage with just Thors, medivacs, mules, and... oh fine, give him a flying, shielded unit... observers.

[@Hidden_Sage]

Observers aren't buildable in any of the campaigns, including in this mod. And Mules are part of the orbital command center, they aren't something we'd pick FOR him.

[@TC-cq7oc]

We've lost control of Maw of the Void. The plan was to trick Grant into skipping the secret mission, which would have given us control over Maw of the Void in exchange for The Dig, but if the secret mission in play, then Grant can force us to pick Supernova and take Maw of the Void on his turn.

Still really love this series and want to see more! It's really fun to see you beat challenging and wacky comps people put together, especially if it's with units that have no right belonging on certain missions. Maybe you can have a loose counter for how many times people make a mission impossible, then go on to use a new unit, revive some used units, or go with the second most upvoted option.

Spoilers for the next episode!!! Commenting here because comments are disabled on that video. Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Dear Grant, I hope you get to read this letter. I speak only for myself, I am by no means a representative of the community. I enjoyed this series a lot, between the missions in which you finished in record time because OP Mothership or Void Rays/BC/Carrier/Tempest, or those missions in which you had to find a workable solution with the minimum resource investment. It is a series that speaks volumes about your skills as a player, your knowledge of the missions (after Mindhawk's LotV gauntlet I don't think I have to mention that ever again), and your capacity as an entertainer to produce quality, funny and different content. I think the last mission was simply the community trolling you. Hard. You tried with the impossible composition the community gave you, and you didn't hit the mark, as was expected. Please don't consider this one mission a mark on your performance or the interest of the community in this challenge (i know i said i'm not a representative, but I really believe that I'm not the only one who thinks this way). I understand that you are under a lot of pressure with the upcoming TwitchTrollsGrant, I can't begin to fathom the weight you are carrying on your shoulders, as this event will make or break the next year of content. I care for you and your wellbeing, as you are one of my favorite content creators, you are funny, you are ingenious, and you are one the reasons the modding community for SC2 is what it is today. For that, THANK YOU! I would very much like to see this series, Community Elimination Challenge, to an end. Hell, somebody wanted you to finish All In with just firebats. And I'm sure you would find a way to do it, because that's just the type of person you are.

[@4564568b]

(Grant removed the new video, so I post it here instead) Oh no, I think we go too hard D: I also vote for that composition, and let me explain at least my own reasoning. The Dig have a giant laser. My ideas are you can defend the base with it and be fine, just need to stall the initial bits. But I completely forgot the starting enemies remain after cut scene and will kill everything. Personally, I do take the "defeat streamer" very seriously, and did wish to finished you with trains+ 0 anti-ground before. But I understand (Or at least thinks this way) that this is more of a series for fun and not serious competition, so watching people and you coming up with meme compositions are also satisfying. I fully expected this play through get to Char, and only be serious in All-in. But I guess I meme a bit too hard and make the run completely impossible:( So, here's all my opinion. 1. I do enjoy this series a lot. Like open my YT on-time just to catch it live a lot. I even like comments for the first time. 2. I do wish the viewers will win, but not in this sad and depressing way, instead a constant struggle where you let out all you skills and admit defeat on the end with a smile. 3. I'm really sorry, and I wish there's a redo . This is not supposed to be like this:(

Hi Grant. I know your feels. I recently ran a D&D campaign in my original setting and after every session everyone told me how great it was. Their combat was unenthusiastic though but I thought it's just not their focus. Then, one day they just full team wiped in the middle of nowhere with no chance for me to "deus ex machina" or "cavalry is here" their characters. We had about 4-6 hours left in that session so i proposed creating new characters for this setting and connecting their story to deceased characters. No one. Not a single player said "yes". I'm devastated to this day, I never asked their reasons, it's been 6 month and we never gathered again. Reaching to them again just feels wrong, what if I didn't read the room right all that time? Yeah, anyway, sorry for the long read, just had a feels bro moment, that's it, no moral in my story

[@TandalfBeast]

I appreciate you connecting with Grant, I feel it too. Having taught teenagers (and having been one) I know how they sometimes don't know how to act and sometimes just ruin things without really meaning to. Also I wanna comment on your dm story, dnd is all about communication and if the players keep saying everything is great and not giving other feedback it's not on you as the dm. If they want changes the least they can do is to ask for them or say that they would like something to change. Maybe they were bad at communicating or maybe they got tired of dnd in general, anyway I'm sorry to hear it ended like that.

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

I seriously think Grant, you should have a Loss mechanic to stop all air comps or zergling BC mission events. If you lose a mission you may replay, adding a single additional unit to the composition to permit you a chance at victory. Of course this means using 5 units to defeat a mission. Good luck with that.

[@LegendStormcrow]

I heard them banelings liked to dig.

[@dewottgaming1507]

so I noticed this while playing many archipelago runs (was at one point trying to see if max upgrade jim could beat breakout alone) and there is apparently a trigger that keeps spawning new SCVs in the outposts whenever there are none available right now and you don't have vision over the area so if tosh stands on the highground before the first outpost, there will be no more SCVs spawning as that spot gives you vision of the entire base. as soon as you lose vision of the base however it immediately spawns an SCV

[@GreenCauldron08]

huh... that's not much fun

[@BladeWinters]

must have accidentally put -25 gas instead of -25 minerals hence 75 minerals and -25 gas instead of just 50 minerals

[@Adirbal]

This sounds stupid enough, and logical enough, to be the actual reason behind the bug. Programming is like that sometimes

[@Nerizwith]

I think its actually related to the cost calculation code, wherein the zergling soaks up the mineral cost in there so that more gas heavy units get selected afterwards when you get any reinforcements

[@aaronscott7467]

I did really enjoy this series, it's a shame that the dig comp was unplayable. I do hope that you do return to this. I do think the thought was that you have the laser drill and your scvs until then, but I don't think people considered the archon that spawns on your base.

since you pressed the community to make XII harder for you, you're going to have to dig your way out of this. Fortunately, we can give you all the extra hands you need to help dig! Aberration (big slappy shovel hands) Splitter banes (more hands on death) Corpser roach (more hands on kill) Vulture (mines dig into the ground, perhaps they will offer tiny shovels)

[@helldrake77777]

@@calender9622 I think those would make it too easy on him. Make him go full anti-air and have the drill as anti-ground would be more suffering

[@SpaceJawa]

@@helldrake77777 Your argument might make more sense if your own plan was actually "full anti-air" rather than throwing in things like Mutalisks that makes the mission super-easy. You're not voting for Viper, you're voting for Mutalisk that HAS THE ABILITY to morph into a Viper if Grant wants to, but he's under no obligation to use Vipers and is completely free to use just mass Mutalisks if he wants for an easy win.

Damn Jimmy, are those hercules and medics? I hope the most awasome time on this friday! A bit sad ending. It didint have to be this way.

[@Garryl367]

One giant laser should be enough firepower for you. Why do you need more? Or, the laser drill support team misread the instructions and only brought along giant crates of useless laser pointers. Mission: The Dig - Medic (has a useless laser pointer) - Havoc (has a useless laser pointer) - Hercules (can carry huge crates of useless laser pointers) - Medivac (has a useless laser pointer and can carry a few crates of them, too) The theme of this, in addition to useless laser pointers, is that no units have any combat capability whatsoever. Assuming that Grant can even get past the opening section by just flying over to the base, he'll still have to defend against the initial attack waves using only SCVs and the buildings they can construct. Havocs can forcefield to help stall, but otherwise it's largely like the pacifist run without Spectres and on a higher difficulty, at least for the first quarter or so until Grant gets control of the drill. Until then, he'll have to rely on buildings, such as Engineering Bays to block, Perdition Turrets to fight back the ground assaults, and Missile Turrets to fight back against flyers.

[@nosackbeating]

Yes.

[@Luwi1996]

I really want to see Grant try this, but I'm not sure, if it is possible.

[@abdallahhakeem5185]

THIS ONE IS THE ONE

[@abdallahhakeem5185]

Seriously even if somehow Havoc+Perdition works out very well for him, he’ll have to work for it. The hercules can tank, the medic and medivac can heal the SCVs which will heal the hercules and perditions/missile turrets. Actually lit comp to watch

[@RealMajorKaza]

That's cruel.

[@TheFolros]

I like this series, I hope it continues. But I understand the the dig was disheartening.

[@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin]

Huh? Very odd to see the series end like that, the "no combat units" composition wasn't even posted when I voted I think (I voted the "all melee" composition post I think? there was an aberration in there at the very least). Honestly the Dig video kinda blindsided me and I can't find the top composition comments on this video anymore so it all feel kinda weird...

[@ADudeWhoDo]

What happens if you spend the gas from swarmling production and then cancel production? Do you go into debt? Is it just infinite vespine?

[@CanadianF.B.I]

I'm unable to sleep. Its 3:15 AM and Grant just uploaded a VOD.☺

If you think about it, the zerglings in bunkers are great ways to counter zerglings! Thanks for the video!

[@Kaggiekins]

Not gonna lie, this has been the most excited I am for a channel mod to be released in some time. This looks like incredible fun, whether you play it as intended as a gauntlet, or use the settings you mentioned to turn it into a funky sandbox.

[@cairne3696]

The Dig - Since we have a Big tickle beam, lets go for more Ticklebeams! Void Ray, Sentry, Hellion, and let's not forget we need to pick up relic when we are done digging - Hercules.

[@bcg407]

This is one of my favorite mods. It truly is the Tale of Two StarCrafts…….massively overkill units for missions from the audience and pure minimalism from Grant

[@Selvunwindful]

Watching that sneaky void ray on the minimap from 2nd rescue slowly paint his way through all the left side bit by bit unnoticed was so cute.

[@TC-cq7oc]

12:40 - Regarding strategy: The **real** plan was to trick Grant into skipping the secret mission. If Grant had been able to skip the secret mission, this would have given us control over In Utter Darkness and Maw of the Void. Unfortunately, because of the way parity works, this was only possible without the secret mission. Looks like he managed to dodge our devious trap thank to a bug.

[@nyrixa1191]

So for the dig there's a giant laser that you can use so we should bring our own lasers in the form of the sentry. The big laser can target the entire map so we should increase our range with the havoc, and uh the laser uses a lot of energy so we should use the Energizer with it. That'll be it for my suggestion.

[@Siriathion]

The Dig composition: Firebat Hellion Hellbat (Pick that as well as if available on the selection screen) Purifier Colosus (Grant mentioned he leaves the res pool for our use, right?) Theme: The Protoss just can't stand up to our FIRE power. Bonus points for destroying Protoss bases without the laser (since The Colossus can be used for high-ground vision and that is just boring)

[@tommorgan8449]

Absolutely love the video man, and I’ve had a thought, a cool series/multiple series using this mod. truly test which mass unit could compete the campaign the quickest. Would definitely be something I’d watch :)

[@TrixterTheFemboy]

If you're willing to, please try again with the second-place composition, iirc it was widow mines, vultures, banelings, and roaches. And probably put in some clause of "can use extra units if the ones you guys choose make a mission literally impossible"

[@jakobk3954]

The Dig: "Air units nothin' - those are transports!" Warp Prism Hercules Medivac Baneling (Splitter)

[@TrixterTheFemboy]

oh... that's the end? That really sucks... I never thought I would be so sad to win at something. I absolutely loved this challenge, I didn't vote for the comp that won(I voted for the digging units, when I looked I couldn't even find the no combat units one), it's honestly just really sad to see it over so soon.

while nice, there is no oracle in the campaign for the player, so the unit is not available.

I want to make Grant to suffer on The Dig! The best way is to give him only bad melee units, so that he has to rely on the drill for dealing with air. Mission: The Dig Units: Swarmling Aberration Corpser Roach (okay, it shoots, but only ground) Medic

[@helldrake77777]

[@Xenotric]

a few things when selecting comps, first the laser exists its powerful but it cannot solo brutal meaning grants gonna have to use units at some point. Secondly ranged units are generally very good because they can sit behind a solid wall and be mostly safe, melee units however require a path through the wall and will always take damage. Also swarm host actually good here, can stall plenty for drill

[@JJJBunney001]

You really read this one badly. Just throw up a poll here and youll see if people like the series or not. People dont dislike it, you just gave them too much power. You need rules lile 1 unit from each catagory. So there isnt a way to pick 5 non combat units

[@Novastar900]

Hey Grant, the composition of pt7 was not because we don't like the challenge - people just don't think that far. The prompt was "Make me lose" and like a stupid AI we viewers did exactly that. People then see a "funny" combo, press the thumbs up and are done with it. Has nothing to do with not wanting to watch more episodes.

[@lucifersatan8240]

The dig. Baneling, wraith, medivac, energizer. Hey, grant, I feel like everyone has been very mean to you so far so I want you to have a good anti ground damage unit for this traditionally ground heavy mission. The baneling should work. Of course you need a strong anti air unit to intercept the air raids too. I'm thinking the wraith could get to them before they even arrive. But of course you need some support agains those cheesy protoss, so I want you to have the medivac and energizer as well, to ensure your banelings can attack as fast as possible, and even be used as biological air bombs. Hope you find a lot of success with this carefully crafted build made to make your life as easy as possible.

[@tannerlebel5167]

Did you stop doing this series?

[@shunkim6543]

so just in case you were wondering why it costed more, In the code the Swarmling still costs the same as the Zergling, despite coming in pairs of three instead of 2, unfortunately that likes to have trouble carrying over and as such they come out as 75 because each zergling costs 25.

[@shunkim6543]

Unsure of the gas tho
