I agree. I played my heart out because it came out the year after I finished high school. I watched every single tournament from 2010 including the HDStarcraft and Husky online invitationals for measly $3000 which then grew and by HDH3 I think Idra threw against Huk because of mass illusions but that could be MLG it's been so long. Anyway I stopped playing before HotS came out in 2013 because 1. Dota 2 came out and I had played Dota since 2004 and 2. It just wasn't the same game as Wings of Liberty. Just this year I worked with a guy that plays SC2 today. What the fuck.

This vid was only released 2 years after StarCraft 2 initially launched. Imagine how many epic moments have come to pass since then, what with Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void being things.

[@DanielMorales85]

ive watched this video so many times... great moments, plus that ending... right in the feels. Starcraft ♥

[@syratheron4548]

Whoever you are AdvancedFilming, I have to say this video is absolutely spot on. I can see litterally 0 significant flaws in this video. The moments in this video are more than epic. I never wanted this video to end while watching it and 17 minutes of pure epic is a long time. The music you put in the video is incredible and really complimented the epicness. You even told what all of the music pieces were in the description. This is by far the best Starcraft video I have ever seen.

[@INeedHerPomPomJuice]

Thanks for the video, it was awesome!

[@clemensschomburg8693]

Yeah I am also quiet sad that all the big names don't play anymore... It was a blast to see the star craft 1 players battle against each other in SC2. Yet in the end sc1 and sc2 are two different games. And many pros liked sc1 more, yet in sc2 the new generation stayed.

[@SuPeRGiBbS9000]

3:26 Honestly, the nuke was not the high light. What was the highlight was Choya's incredibly ignorant and bad engage. All 3 Collosi attack the rax on the left, the zealots get bottle necked between the supply depot and rax, the high templars meet up too late, pretty much a good example of how not to engage as Protoss. Without the nuke, Jinro still wins.

[@bertquasar]

Husky has gotten really annoying. I remember liking him back when SC2 was just coming out, but now I think he acts like a spaz and his voice is unbearable to listen to anymore. It's too bad.

I love esport, but there is no game wich is as good as SC2 and WC3 was back then... I hope it ll make a hughe comeback with lotv. Games like Dota and CS are awsome, but by far not as complex as SC2. You don't need a lot of knowledge to understand them. Nowadays we only have "casual" esport and not this extremly nerdy game where you have no clue whats going on if you havnt played the game a lot.

Anton M Thats bullshit i have ben playin SC BroodWar a couple of years and i almost reach 200+ apm and habing a macro game of 200/200 in 15 min and still losing whit C- rank in Iccup. Is not only timing and apm thats for shore. If someone put a Rak rush in close to your main base and you dnot find it in time, you provably loos in one min. If you look the game plays of some pro like SlayerBoxeR . You will realise shortly that he can win a game whit less army than his enemy. He have the most dinamy game style i have ever seen and what he does is not only timing and micro apm. Is a LOT of tactic performance involved in a pro SC2 game. A lot of strategy to, on how you spend your resourses. Is not just move the mouse speed and win NO!

[@andreashofmann4556]

So glad they took out the mothership. It turned sc2 into wc3.

[@FDJUwe]

tell me you are joking. Protoss is the warcraft race in starcraft: expensive units, spells, weird mechanics, the race is supposed to work like that.

[@andreashofmann4556]

Right, i agree with that. The Mothership however was a hero unit which you can only have one of. So many games, even at the pro level, came down to "can the mothership fuck up the entire zerg army?". The mothership core is much more in tune. Yeah it has the townportal and the planetary nexus, but it doesn't single-handedly decide the outcome of battles.

[@DQO07]

***** The mothership wasnt a problem in Starcraft 2. The Mothership core however allowed protoss to abuse everything, making them the superior race in SC2, and if you try to counter that with stats from ladder, im going to yell at you because protoss has been in every major final, most times just being PvP. They are dominant because they can abuse soo much that the other races cannot. Even without the mothership, protoss ruins zerg, and terran is inferior. You wanna know what unit does decide the outcome of battles? The high templar, except it can cast more than the mothership can, by your logic we should remove the high templar, essentially removing the protoss race from competitive play. The mothership core is a better unit than the mothership was, because of its versatility and the options that come along with it, but the mothership was apparently worse in your eyes, id like to hear your reasoning on this.

[@andreashofmann4556]

Damien Quinton The MSC was added partially to give protoss a way to pressure zerg early, something they completely lacked in WOL, in WOL they usually just sat at home on two bases, slowly taking a third, waiting for max supply army and then steamrolling the opponent. This was boring to watch, so in that regard i'm glad they added the MSC. If you want to argue that the MSC over all is stronger for protoss then the mother ship was, sure, maybe it is. As i stated though, my issue with the mother ship was how it could simply break the end game in a way that made it boring to spectate. What do i base that on? Watching a lot of pro games and getting sick and tired of seeing how PvZ came down to how protoss toiletted the zerg army and had a handful of Archons kill it off. You don't see that with the MSC. Notice that nowhere in my comments did i mention balance or OPness, i was strictly talking about how it made the game boring, so i don't see how "by my logic we should.." applies at all.

[@AlphaLegionXX]

UltimateDuden why would not being able to rush someone make them op? Toss has a very hard time dealing with multiple drops by terran in the mid-game. and zerg idk...
