This channel exists to document unit counters within StarCraft 2. Tya's Unit Tournament features epic battles between units in StarCraft 2, using music from the game's soundtrack. Units are chosen from Protoss, Terran and Zerg forces, or a coop commander such as Raynor, Nova, Artanis, or Kerrigan. Units will independently use their abilities, in a basic way. All units use Legacy of the Void stats, the same units you'd see in SC2 esports controlled by the likes of Serral, Maru, and ByuN. The resource beneath vespene is the unit's cost in the mod I run on the SC2 arcade, Direct Strike. Enjoy!

You should try doing mixed races. Like protoss with allied Terran units. Or zerg with allied protoss units.

[@SomethingHere56]

I was thinking, if you're going to do like 1 vs an army or something like the ultra vs zerglings, would it be possible to include the hp of the single unit? Sorta like a raid boss.

[@VladLad]

You know my 5 working braincells took a good few seconds to comprehend how those queens managed to beat the tanks at that cheap resource cost. It was the movement speed, real queens can barely move without creep. The Direct Strike engine seemed real confused for that fight, because as I understand it units have uniform speed until engaged in combat, and there were periods of time when the queens did indeed move incredibly slowly. But they were clearly engaged in comabt when they rapidly dashed towards the tanks, so why?

[@DerpyLaron]

They also can trsnsfuse of creep. Which isn't how they work in multiplayer anymore

[@alekzanderor5489]

Sometimes it really hard to guess when you only play commander... xD

[@GrommiD]

First, NOONE can beat Immortals. Second, in fights like first one with ultralisk i think its better to place somewhere a hud with healbar of ultralisk to see the numbers. Third, make similar fight with upgraded Torrasque or Noxios vs not upgraded Zerglings, or Brutalisk, Omegalisk or else vs someone small, maybe even Broodlings with upgraded lifetimers.

[@thecommentguy9380]

last is what happens when lower DPS comp got higher heal output than the high DPS comp

[@MrStealYoBeef]

It's higher sustained DPS since units aren't dying and reducing overall group DPS when they otherwise would.

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

Seige tanks actually have pretty low DPS, they just have high damage per shot and splash. Hellbats are kinda high DPS, but again mostly a splash unit, and it's anti light DPS, when most died versus the armoured roaches.

[@deividilavitz6645]

I think the stalker blink doesnt work in the stalker's favor. Theres a lot of time the stalker is just not firing after it blinks.

[@fabr1cat0rgeneral94]

stalker blink really only helps out against melee or if the stalkers are at a critical mass where those that blink away can regen some shields by the time they get targeted again.

[@ldn_rumrunner]

It didn’t this time as they couldn’t concentrate fire. Against light opponents, it’s killer

[@Toast_94]

@@fabr1cat0rgeneral94 Sometimes if there's too many stalkers they will end up blinking behind the other army, immediately getting themselves killed by the enemies that weren't in range yet to start firing.

[@alexholker1309]

Stalkers and Immortals both have the same range, so it would be interesting to see if they'd fare better with a blink range of 1 - enough to force the Immortals to acquire new targets, but with less time wasted walking back into combat.

Though the video was fun, didnt expect 3/3 ultra to be so powerful.

[@SaulGoodman3D2049]

They technically also shouldn't be able to transfuse off creep after the last patch. Think creep would be too much work to incorporate into the videos (haven't played much Direct Strike so Idk if creep is used in it at all).

[@Silvitewolf]

remember when countering ultras with 0/0 lings to out number by 1000-1

[@13g0man]

To be fair though, if your enemy has ultras at 3/3 and you have unupgraded lings at any number then you have done very well to last that long.

4/5 It'd be nice if you showed the price of upgrades still to show how much you'd throw down the drain sending Un upgraded lings against a maxed out Ultralisk. (Also, to show the upgrades and abilities of the 2nd set of units.) Immortal DPS was the Deciding Factor in that fight, Blink wasn't as help full. Those Roaches were needed for the Hydralisks to deal damage. With the Ghost removing them instantly, that meant the squishy caterpillar cows became Trophies for the Marines. Thor Anti air kinda Ridicc ngl Turns out Roach Bulk and Queen healing Beats out the strategy of blocking them with hellbat so tanks can siege up. Never again shall i underestimate Transfusion.
