I gotta tell ya, Esports Storyteller is a pretty smart fella. Timing the top 10 best Starcraft nukes with the Oppenheimer movie release is a stroke of a genius! GGWP

[@12cmfreiheit51]

esports storyteller might be a pretty smart fella but solar getting hit by the nuke is a petty fart smella

[@RaphaelManalo]

A 13 yo could've thought of that. You have a pretty low bar of what genius is

[@MrRenatopepin]

@@RaphaelManalo 7 months late, smart ass. You wouldn't even thought of that if not by this comment.

now i have become hans zimmer, destroyer of chords. nah actually i like the new song guy they brought in for this one... goranson?

[@WarRior-rn4kb]

the only reason the last clip is the best is because of full screen. Solar's reaction with his mouth open on full screen is raw, unfiltered.

i like the suble smirk of maru too

[@milletmongoose]

Maru smiles twice in this vid: the smirk at the end when he nukes the ever nuke-able Solar, and the embarrassed grin when he nukes himself.

[@gabrieldones2803]

Maru has only ever smiled twice in his life. The smirk at the end when he nukes the nuke-able Solar. And when he embarrassingly nuked himself. 😂

[@crimsonsea3447]

He was going to lose that match anyway. If you look at the supply count. He wasn't embarrassed because it was done on purpose.

[@stephenhelmer3204]

Excellent metaphor for humans using nukes as this video is like 50/50 just hurting their own army lol

I didnt know, there we're so many great nukes in SC2 History! Thank you for bringing Thema all together❤

[@the_angry_dome]

There is one I would add, TLO vs Hyperdub in very early GSL days where TLO gave a masterclass in defensive and psychological nuking, using nukes to pin Hyperdub back then cancelling and rushing forward. And also inadvertently caught a bunch of Hyperdub's vikings returning from a harass...

[@FernandoPerez-zx2vz]

Solar is like a lightning rod but for nukes.

[@rsbandbj1]

while not here... one of my fav nukes was from HDstarcraft and TLO's nuke match. the nuke of the century on the toss was beautiful.

[@andreasarmada3029]

This is amazing! Can you do widow mine (especially that game where a player widow mine dropped behind the broodlords) and baneling traps next?

[@dank7289]

The parting vs maru self nuke was so insane, that game was a 42 min full map almost mined out war and it ended like that! rofl I'll never forget that game.

[@godlyobject6509]

Wildly sick video, mate.

[@RationalEgoism]

I haven't played or watched SC2 in a while, but I was recommended this video because I'd recently searched for Archon Toilet clips.

[@Justii218]

4:42 The Terran Guitar just adds to the successful nuke and reaction

[@jamesdemski5231]

These nukes wow ... great video .. serral made him nuke himself with that fungal shot .. lol and pigs reaction with that nuke haha my man tells it like it is ... but yeah I love sc2 .. and I love your videos brother keep up good work

[@nonAehT]

remember that insane match that had like 40 nukes in it? i can't remember who the players were. But it was absolutely insane.

[@EsportsStoryteller]

I think it was innovation vs Serral on Katowice 2019 with 78 nukes

[@nonAehT]

@@EsportsStoryteller Yes i think that's the one!

[@Necroneer]

If I recall correctly Serral was actually pushed back to his main base due to Inno's nuke spam, actually made me think that maybe you can win as Terran by just nuking enemies into a corner until they can't run away no more.

[@RonnocFroop]

@@Necroneer I thought that as well until I saw that one game were Scarlett was being nuked into a corner for like 40 minutes and then somehow slipped out and won.

[@Necroneer]

@@RonnocFroop Oh yeah there was also that, my memory is a but shaky so I don't remember all the details but I'd still like to believe that Terrans can squeeze out a win through nuclear warfare.

[@MrRexBaron]

You think we wouldn't notice that little bit of Command and Conquer Generals OST in there?

[@mEtil5656]

Poor solar is all i have to say on that matter

[@snakuvudu]

I remember that Maru v Parting one. I even showed my nephews.

[@kommisar.]

I like how Maru owns the top spots for both the biggest nuke on an opponent and the biggest self-nuke. In fact, his self-nuke actually killed more army supply than the one on Solar. P.S. He may have another record-breaker with his recent nuke against Classic in GSL.

[@x-techgaming]

3:38 Nuked from 197 supply to 154, then instantly back to 174.

[@deepseer]

Solar was nuked 3 times in a year. The third time was vs Time/Oliveira.

[@WJen8]

Self nukes are like own goals 😂

[@boegfettot]

that maru face in the last clip xD

[@a.e.richardson218]

recently hero lost his ENTIRE army to a nuke he didnt see

[@andrewskylakos3585]

What is going on with the self nukes? Is it just so much going on the player blunders or is there something I'm not getting? I don't play Terran and am a real casual player so idk why these self nukes typically happen

[@quickdraw6893]

It is really baffling, seeing the best players just forget about those giant ground indicators - even in the middle of a fight, the player who's calling the nuke gets that huge red marker on the ground, not just the little dot that the opponent sees. But they are pretty high stress environments. I think a lot of them probably treat nukes as "fire and forget" because ghosts have to sit still for so long that they've trained themselves out of giving them any attention during that time, but those battle nukes are the one situation where you really don't want to do that.

[@lzkmt4947]

amazing.

[@scw77]

The amount of self nukes calls into question the intelligence and breeding of terran players.

[@leaflotus6726]

Where'd you study tactics boy? This was clearly used to get rid of units they don't need anymore.

man I miss this period 😢 The energy of the shoutcaster and the enthusiasm of the audience was awesome. Why can't we go back to this anymore?! Damn all those fake fps esport like CSGO and Fortnite! Damn greedy Blizzard! And now Starcraft is official dead due to Stormgate, whose success is questionable because the market's dynamic has changed.

Only that CSGo ain’t a fake Esport

[@ondrejczechaczek6822]

Solar - the greatest nuke eater.

[@witnessme7593]

I started playing StarCraft in 2023 and I notice that armies seemed to have been a lot more full back in the day, from my experience nowadays it's mostly small scale gorilla warfare with the occasional big fights using more of the basic units. Or do I have the wrong image?

[@RisitasKEKW]

Alternative title: the best and WORST nukes in the history of starcraft2

[@dabdabdabi5]

Yo, question: why are a lot of these clips selff-nukes? Do the players forget the area that they just targeted? These are the top SC players right? For context and disclaimer: Im only a casual SC/SC2 player and the last time I played was around 5 years ago. I just happened to bump into this video in my youtube recommendations.

[@moparman2nd]

Surprised Stephano v Thorzain from Totalbiscuit's SCI wasn't included.

There's a red dot and a voice alert, as well as sounds on missile's approach, but sometimes with many nukes going on it's hard to detect the dot and the nuke

[@puliverius]

That last nuke looked like it was cancelled. The laser animation disappeared. At least it looked like that.

[@Dubanx]

I think it's because the casters switched views, and not that anything changed..

[@Jez4prez]

yeah the big round target only appears on the person using the nukes view, or if you'r'e watching a replay (or as a caster) when using 'all views'. For the person who has nuke against, they see a red dot. So when casters switched views and toggled to Solar's view it would have only been a red dot, but those are hard to see on creep. Solar knew where it was tho as he saw the ghost. But he moved his oversteers away from the ghost so lost vision of the ghost which is how messed up, the broodlords couldn't kill the ghost as he lost vision so he lost 1 round of broodlings (which is why it disappeared for a few seconds) before he got the oversteeers back and had another shot to kill the ghost, but by then it was too late. It was still so close tho, the ghost died as the nuke was landing basically, legit down to the second or milisecond. Def the best nuke in sc2 history hehe.
