I got into Starcraft when I was 13 and I’m 33 now. I don’t play it anymore and watch these casts like you’d watch sports I guess. It’s impressive that young people are still getting into it.
Lol I also 18, my oldest brother got me and all my 2 older brothers into it around the time sc2 came out, he would bring his friends over along with all the dinky computers that could run it and they would play each other on lan, I Remer once when the map got mined out I convinced my brother to make infested Terren to break through seige tanks and bunkers. He still list, but he did kill some of the tanks and bunkers.... good times
Hey Falcon! Artosis’ casting so many Scan games lately got me thinking. Have you ever thought of doing one week of casts where you focus on just one player? A deep dive where we can see how they play the different match-ups, their tendencies, strengths/weaknesses. Could be cool to hear your thoughts about a player you’re interested in over the course or five casts in a row!
@@dragonsdynamite6403 protoss has high templar storms, zerg has plague both those spells hit friendlies. But terrans can have serious issues with their spider mines and tanks if the opponent knows how to drop units on the tanks.
Wow! Falcon I haven't been on your channel in awhile and I clicked on the first "EPIC" tag and I was not disappointed! Amazing Zerg plays, the Ling counter attack on the 3rd was the turning point, it make GG think it was a base race and walked his army into a corner.
loved it. dogboram is legend, and I will be looking this player up! Love these potentially unknown new, random legends. Especially with strange, unique names hahaha. GREAT match. These lesser popular ones if they are sometimes turn OUT epic.
In response to the lack of likes, I watch your casts in the morning before work usually with my breakfast and coffee. I'm usually not functional enough to remember to like.
13:40 - Me: Ah well, that's game, Terran took out all the tech structures except Spire. ForGG: "Lul watch me attack with Battlecruisers." dogboram: "Scourge go brrrrrrr"
In that point ForGG lose the game. Of course now from our sit is easy to see, in game is harder. In that point, when he go with battlecruisers he have over 30 workers and the zerg have 22 or 24. Terran have big army, the zerg armybalmost destroyed. I think instead batlecruisers, terran better should use it wraith. With six-seven wraith could hunt down the overlords. Combined with dropship to target the spire and hatcherys. Anyway, congrats to zerg player. Fantastic come back and turn the game in his advantage.
It's funny because the terran could have won the match with a more heavily committed drop, zero defenses at zerg main meant he could have gunned down the hive and all the tech structures. The battlecruisers were a really stupid choice the way he used them, they need marine support if you are only making two at a time. Such an excellent terran player otherwise though.
Love your videos Falcon! I wish you casted more team games as for some reason I really enjoy those ones, I’ve went through your channel and watched all of those haha.
I like how you recap the match after its done. I watch a lot of you and Arty but when he is casting the video ends before he even gets the "gg" out sometimes. Then (for some reason) he recaps the game on the next cast. I love hearing a recap after the match. Maybe include the turning point of the match, one moment that swings the whole thing and decides the winner... What the players did right and wrong. Things like that
Hi Falcon, In reference to your casting comment: I bought all the Strategy Guides for Starcraft and Starcraft 2, just for the sake of being a collector of Books 📚. Always enjoy reading them! Of course, hardly anything (The Units and Strategy) in those Guides are relevant now. 🙄 I miss the original Swarm Host! Lol 😆
Yo Falcon I haven't seen you in my subscriptions for a while, thought I'd check. Yep you're still doing daily videos IDK why they won't show up in my subscription feed...
Well, just know I post a new replay every single day. And I don't miss days. So if you ever think "Hmm, I haven't seen Falcon on YT recently," you can just come direct to ru-vid.com and I'll always be here. :)
I had a lost game from my big brother(z) where he won from a freakin comeback. I hate that feeling. I actually thought I won because I pretty much owned half the map, damn end games when you got. No more minerals hahaha
I just noticed while you were zoomed in on the SCV that when he's facing north west his drill's on the wrong arm. His sprite is just flipped from the north east facing sprite.
Love your casts Falcon. Have you been playing/casting/following Starcraft since the late 90's? just a general question. You seem to have extensive knowledge of everything about this game.
ForGG made a huge mistake 23:50 not evacuating any SCVs or lifting the CC. Obviously, it's easy to say while watching, but it seems like such a trivial thing and it that would not have taken much APM at all, and he probably still would have won. Of course, he would not have needed to deal with that if he made a better medic wall or just a bunker. Also defending the Ultras with FBs was a huge waste and if he just used those to reinforce his army he would have crushed the zerg, since he had no firebat support with his current army. I feel Terran needs to make HUGE mistakes like these in order to lose to zergs, but not sure I can say the same about the other way around.
@Lamp Boi Not sure I totally agree, it's true that it's tricky to break established zerg bases because of dark swarm, but that doesn't ultimately matter if the zergs have basically no chance of expanding late game (unless the Terran makes mistakes along the way). It seems like most of the time zergs are just barely holding on late-game with dark swarms (if they make zero mistakes, or else the Terran breaks them by poking at every single base the zerg has with their mobile bio units), and are eventually starved out by most good Terran players. Science vessels can stay alive almost indefinitely as long as they stay close to a group of marines - since marines basically insta kill scourges and mutas once they have full upgrades - and they'll continually irradiate important zerg units (defilers, ultras, lurkers) moments after they spawn. Marines scale quite well when they're in a group, so as long as the Terran uses good medic blocking to mess with the Ultra pathing, they're insanely cost-efficient vs everything the zerg has. Regardless no player is perfect and they eventually do make mistakes which gives zerg a chance, but I guess it feels that mistakes are necessary for zergs to win versus Terran and not really the other way around.
In regard to worker HP, the balance programmed into this game so long ago was a very good effort. To this day there is no “ best race “ which is impressive especially with 20 years to prove otherwise. I think Mutalisks should take full damage from turrets, Dragoons( I think they have same attack type ) and Goliaths. Scouts should hit for 1 more damage to ground. I think just 1 more damage would help them a lot. 2 might be too much damage. I loved that Overlord over the Lurkers to block irradiate. Imagine if they made Irradiate go away if you burrow. Zerg would wreck Terran so hard.
Im starting school on Monday so I won't be able to as active as I usually am but I still will be commenting sometimes and always log on to like the videos but I don't know if I can watch them all. bye see you when I return
Forgg sbould have double expanded when he had zerg on back foot. I dont know why more terrans dont do that. Anytime i see a zerg turtling in their 3 bases. I just keep them on 3 and double expand. Then just mass like crazy
I think the main issue with this match was how the terran ForGG used his battlecruisers. It was some of the worst battlecruiser use I have seen in a long time by a skilled player! Only making 2 of them and not supporting them with your marine/science vessel means they were just giant floating wastes of resources. Ideally he would have gotten that BC number up to 4, used defense matrix on them when scourge balls hit and focused the ultras with yamato shots which do go thru dark swarm. The only problem is the dark swarms mean the BCs regular shots wouldn't do much. Great terran player though, he used the science vessels well and protected them.
I wonder why in Starcraft you never had an option to fire, like tanks for example, just in the ground causing splash dmg instead of possibility of targeting only units. I guess it would change the balance in the game ( reavers splashing wherever they want etc ^^ )
Terran never truly switched gears... just doubled down on Barracks-centric force. *sigh* Another game in which mass Goliaths would've likely carried the day.
Ur awesome, and im super appreciative u put these out, but I have some friendly criticisms/critiques, and I dont mean any of this in a mean way at all what do ever.. Lol u r always non stop talkin and still make a bunch of noob-like comments, and prematurely calling every match constantly.. Multiple times per match even lol. I wish I could mute most of these most of the time but u miss so much stuff all the time cuz ur talkin that I end up gettin even more frustrated that I keep havin to watch alot of the games moments/interactions/builds/fights on the mini map, and if its muted then idk why at that moment ur missing other stuff for whatever random "commentary" ur giving. Ur awesome and a good dude, and I really don't mean to be mean, so I hope it doesn't come off that way.. just some constructive criticism. I've mentioned these things before but honestly, all ur vids goin back years, and the most recent ones all have these same "issues" for the most part lol. Thank you again for everything you do brother! Really appreciate you posting these, and especially listening to us/hearing us out.
forgg in my opinon, his biggest mistakes were when he lost his 3rd base undefended, his only source of income and the other big mistake was, spending so much money in BC's in group of 2 sent alone across the map instead of participating with the rest of his army. Such a big investement for a very poor decision. What a waste.

Why on Earth does most Terran players countinue with bio after the 10-12 minute mark?! There are virtually always defilers with swarm, and at 16-18 minute mark there are ultralisks out, and bio is virtually useless against both of those. In this channel alone we have seen maybe one or two times where such composition wins against the teching zerg, and 9/10 times such strategy is doom for terran. WHY??!
So I think that Terrans go bio because they're very mobile vs Zerg. But also I think you're underestimating the win rate of bio vs Zerg, wish they posted actual numbers on this, but after watching a lot of different channels it seems that bio actually ends up winning most of the time vs zerg. Bio with vessel support can easily starve zerg of resources late game and enough vessels can just irradiate everything the zerg has, killing all units for energy. Overall it's actually a really good strat and avoids the friendly fire of mech units.
