[@rjhogan07]

Longest continuous explosion of his life: witnessed. Still alive: yes Still has five fingers: also yes. Not a Marine, so slightly more likely to live through the next battle, therefore being able to use this as a story to get free drinks: confirmed. Really not seeing why he should be upset, his day is perfect.

The choke point is such a determining factor to the strength of these troops

[@paratrooper508]

yeah I feel like these are heavily tilted towards whoever benefits the most from the choke point

[@ZillaTheTegu]

It made all of these battles very predictable. Is there a choke point? Yes? Zerg loses. All those Ultras getting Sniped, almost made me cry.

[@Earthboundmike]

Those ultras were boned either way. They can't get the surface area they need even with a full surround. They'd probably have been sniped about as bad really.

[@itzaleaf405]

@@paratrooper508 Yeah, with the protoss army at the end is a great example of that with the shield barriers from the sentires just cutting off all the zerg melee at the start of the round...

[@MainTopmastStaysail]

Or lack of one, in the case of the Zealots vs Mines. If they'd sent those boys in 1 at a time at first they'd have a much better survival rate.

[@artstsym]

For those wondering about "archon toilet," archons do splash damage in a pretty small area, up to 100% in an extremely tiny point. Normally it'd be impossible for that many units to be that close together, but vortex almost does the job with fliers (the few fractions of a second they had to push apart meant that a few lucky BC survived the first volley). Or rather, as noted by the epitaph, it USED to.

[@Bronawix]

Someone's PC got an upgrade! That was awesome! Glad to see you back doing Starcraft stuff!

[@HighMojo]

That Ursadon that was just observing being killed by the Marauder was totally uncalled for.

[@cube_2430]

He was actually three banelings in a trench coat

[@Urono]

Got all of them correct ^^ the bane vs marauder one was way too close for comfort Keep up the amazing work stu!

[@keamu8580]

I have to wonder if the marauders actually killed many of the banelings. Due to the flight time of their grenades I bet a lot of their damage is wasted on banelings that explode on purpose before they die.

[@Sunless1337]

@@keamu8580 Most the the banelings died to their suiciding (the vast majority). If the Yeti hadn't been there at the start, I think another 20-30 marauders would have survived, though.

[@mikelee9552]

I think it would have been less closer if marauders did not waste their health with steam pack. But I could be wrong.

[@cursedhawkins1305]

@@mikelee9552 I don't think it would have mattered if they had stims or not because the banelings still would have died from another's suicide blast, that's the con of having multiple banelings targeting a single unit if one goes off, they all go off.

[@Joshua-yf5mh]

Watching the end of fight 6 with the Stalkers was pretty cool. Watching them get pushed back trying to blink away from the broodlings and locust, then to push forward once the current wave was killed.

[@yipshingho1510]

It's a micro strategy, the front ones blink away when shields depleted, recharge in the back. Rince and repeat. Sounds easy but hard to pull off.

[@saturninkepa4915]

@@yipshingho1510 sick, just wow, this entire vid so jaw dropping to those who play sc2 and unexplainable to those that don't. lol

[@Jc_12368]

It kinda reminded me of the spartan strategy in 300 but in reverse, they jumped to the rear instead of the ones behind them jumping to the front lmao

[@Games_and_Music]

That first fight was great, haha, and i did actually guess right, although i think if the field was all a narrow strip, then the Banelings would've won, it seems the splitting up worked better for the Marauders. The Archon + Mothership fight was cool, and i figured that they would win because the offset seemed ridiculous, but i had no idea that it would end like that, flawless. The Ghosts also seemed obvious, they looked important, and with range against the beasts it seemed like a logical choice, although the Lisks had surprised me in other videos. I went for the Predators, but they petered out at the end pretty quickly. I picked the Zealots, because that number just had to get the better of them at some point, which they did, and much more convincingly than i expected. Protoss seems obvious against Zerg, although that end stretch left me guessing for a while, until they finally broke through the rotation. 5-1 Score for me on this video, lucky guesses.

[@Zeraltz]

Dude that final battle was amazing af, I watched it like 4 times

[@saturninkepa4915]

is it possible that if they were run through in differing order, using differing strategies the end would be different? Or is the way it is setup to maximum advantage for all involved? Just wondering because its mind bending most warped thing I have seen in terms of SC2, those not familiar with the game, would be like "huh? okie doke. neat little robots"

[@theo199922]

The zerg v protoss fight was so close to being zerg dominated but the perfect blinking from the stalkers was just too much. great watch really thought the zerg had it in the bag

[@GelleSzebasztian]

if the zerg microd the swarm hosts better it would be a zerg win

[@Boosemar9809-qi7tt]

Yah! this blinks really helped the stalkers

[@drakZes]

But those swarm hosts recharge was wayy too long before realising its swarm. They nerfed it. If it was normal swarm host they would have won.

[@lugaidster]

​@@GelleSzebasztianmicro couldve changed the outcome so much I don't know who'd be the victor. For example, by focusing units with the blink stalkers or actually advancing to where all the broodlords were buried instead of letting the outer stalkers wander

I was so confused about the imbalance at the beginning of fight two… I completely forgot about Archon toilet, but I never watched the game back in that era. It was cool to actually see firsthand!

[@kamen42]

I can't believe I got everything right. I thought the Marauder vs Banelings will be dominant. And the Archon toilet was a beautiful trip down the memory lane. I can't believe it's already been over 11 years since this stopped being a thing.

lmao that ghost vs ultralisk round was a treat to the ears and eyes, those tiny pew pew blasts making the absolute hulks that are ultralisks explode into chunks lmfao

[@kingfu987]

The issues with many of these match ups is many of the units rely on a surround of the enemy i.e zealots and lings and ultralisk, essentially all the melee units need a surround which these narrow paths prevented. Would like to see a rematch where there is space to do that

[@daldorian]

The marauders at the back watching the green tide be like “glad i slept in this morning”

[@pawea1347]

I thought banelings and predators are going to win. These took me by suprise. In the last fight, Stalkers prove that they're absolutely unstoppable in right hands (and also good using force fields).

[@rjhogan07]

I also thought banelings would win, but I guessed (correctly) that the marines would shred them. Predators really are a fairly redundant unit, being anti-swarm-melee melee, when you are just about forced to get hellions, let alone the gigachads of the niche that are firebats. The glaring weakness of being a melee unit means that units with guns are going to chew through predators simply because of how the predators present themselves to be focused fired down naturally simply because running into melee range means they are presenting themselves as a target to every marine in five or so tiles, which with the rate of fire marines can get up to on stim means that the health and armor on predators is completely inadequate to the task of clearing marines, which it is semi built for given its supposed to clear small foes. The problem, as stated earlier, is that firebats also exist in campaign, do not need to be researched and therefore do not present an opportunity cost just by existing, and fulfill the same anti swarm unit niche as predators, only their bio so you can put them into your Triple M Deathball as you please or shove them in bunkers to cook zerglings and zombies for days, and too add insult to injury firebats can get better health and armor via campaign upgrades and research, AND have stimpacks (IIRC that last bit)! So to sum up a unit analysis that snuck up on me; TL,DR Predators beat small melee, but the problem is they ONLY be small melee and in the campaign you can get them in you also probably already have firbats, who also beat small melee but also are fantastic as damage sponges for a bioball so there is never a reason to grab the big cats who are out done by a bunch of pyromaniacs who have such a good kit they literally made another unit just by switching out the fire for grenades.

Wow, that first fight was sooooooooooooo close! Predator almost looked cool for a second. How much supply was each army at the end there?

[@asdfqwerty9241]

Zerglings and zealots are basically the only thing that predators are good against. Against anything ranged they pretty much just die, against anything armored they don't do enough damage which just doesn't leave much that they're any good against (they have a lot of overlap with hellbats and firebats too, but at least hellbats don't cost gas which makes them a lot more useable).
