StarCraft 1 PROTOSS vs StarCraft 2 ZERG! 

The fact that this wasn't a thing earlier is beyond me, this mod is such a good idea

This honestly was so fun to watch. I played SC and SC Brood War so much as a kid.

Love your casting, more weird games like this please

You are correct, this is a banger. Please, more of these mods!

Zerg sc2 vs zerg sc1 next please! I really want more of this format

damn i want that storm animation in sc2, it looks like an actual storm rather than a lightning net also better signals that it hits air too

God i loved dragoons! Probablynmy favorite unit besides the firebat.

Really miss the dark archon, use MC to abduct a SCV and build command center lol

This should be official and with matchmaking!!!

It's nice to see the protoss with some control abilities in sc2 when you play against protos you can run freely they are not stun nor slowed nor frozen nothing garbage toss in sc2

Please make a video, SC1 Zerg vs SC2 Zerg.

So cool

I would very much like to see more of this game mode. This looks like super fun.

Dark archon used Confusion, it's very effective... Lowko hurts himself in it's confusion!

SC1- Protoss: We are undefeatable! We got Maelstrom, a real Psi Storm and Stasis. Our Spellcasters will tear you down!! SC2- Terran: We still got EMP. On our Ghost. SC1-Protoss: ...

Assuming they didn't change any abilities, Dark Archons in BW had 3 abilities - they came with Feedback, which works the same as the SC2 version, and you had to research Maelstrom and Mind Control. Argus Talisman is indeed their increased starting energy research. So Maelstrom only works with biological units, but units hit by Maelstrom can still take damage, as you saw. This differs from Stasis (cast by the Arbiters, those hexagonal crystal prisons) in that units in stasis cannot take damage, but you can stasis everyone and their mother. Mind Control costs 150 energy AND all of the DA's shields, which makes it a very costly ability in more than just energy. This was a really cool mod, and I would love to see more. Mirror match ups on this mod would be insane to watch.

I'm already fan of non-professional wacky games, but this game mode is just fun on overdrive!! Please more of this!! I wouldn't mind seeing some pros trying this mode, maybe some tournament SC2 team vs SC1 team..

This effectively doubles the number of playable factions in the multiplayer, that alone has a lot of value. It helps that the SC1 factions are as cool (and brutal) as they are. Keep em coming, these matches are very interesting.

loved using arbiters in SC1. using recall to move your armies around constantly was so much fun. I wish he used a dark archon to mind control a drone!

Maelstrom + Storms are so OP lol.

SC1 psy storm is in another level, it deals 112 damage!

I've never even played SC 2, but still sometimes watch your videos anyways so cheers. I'm 38 and used to play Brood War and the OG Starcraft. Not at a high level or anything. I remember zergling rushes were terrifying. And those suicidal scourges wrecking the air units. Fun memories.

This is awesome! We need more of this in the SC2 scene! The zerg player playing the match like he was also a brood war zerg was a mistake

It would be very interesting to see high level players from both SC1 and SC2 play against each other. Here, it felt like the zerg didn't understand their race very well

It's incredible, this has a lot of potential. A few balance adjustments could even unite championships for Starcraft 1 and Starcraft 2 players and all their fans. It would be a delicious massacre!!!

Not even the dragoons make me happier, than hearing a zealot snarl as he rips things apart!

I seem to recall that at some point Blizzard tried experimenting to address the 12 unit limit in BroodWar. They tested a 24 unit limit and higher, turned out that such selection changes made Zerg incredibly overpowered, as having all your units moving is the key struggle in controlling them in BW, given that they have smaller supply costs in BW. So the 12 unit limit stuck.

THIS IS FINE WINE. The fact that this came in 2024, and not in 2014 just makes it a whole lot better.

Spoiler Shield! Like this comment to ensure other’s aren’t spoiled by the top comment!

Thank's for the video, Lowko. Happy Friday!

now i need to know this, is it posible to use an infestor with neural parasite to take control over a dark archon and use mind control to steal the protoss units?

SC1 vs SC2 Supermatch May 15, 2024 5:00pm KST on AfreecaTV Cure , TY , Snow , Soulkey vs Dark , Classic , Mini , Action

One of the important rules of BW is never let a Scv or drone go near a dark archon 😂😂

Hey Lowko, would you ask Clem + (his opponents as Archon Team) to play a custom bo3 or bo5 that you cast for content? I think its so insanely entertaining to watch those type of 1vs(X-number) archon matches. It always pushes the limits and thus very exciting to watch 😃👍

Oh we NEED more of this. I would love to see S1 Zerg vs S2 Terran! Infested buildings!?

SC2 Ultras being immune to mind control and maelstrom almost feels like payback for being hard countered by dark archons in BW.

The Infestor, with the original fungal growth, is pretty similar to the Dark Archon of SC BW, though on a different race of course.

I really hope this becomes an esport thing , just test the waters a bit see what happens

The Zerg player seems like a Brood War player that was trying out SC2 Zerg. Not using queens or creep spread more, the amount of Spine Crawlers made, and getting adrenal before ling speed are some pretty big tells.

SC1 protos feels more protos, it's more heavy, more realiant on tricks, I like this match, I hope to see more soonish!

Protoss looks completly broken here...

Its like a new game with 6 races have been created. The game phases feel very good as well! super nice

Brood War scene is actually better than ever now. BW seems to even be more popular in Korea at this point than SC2.

I'm a 36 year old Star Craft Boomer who got hooked at 11 and never looked back. This is glorious and I can't wait to get off work and try this out myself

This mod is genuinely the best thing that has happened to this community in a loooong ass time. I am absolutely in love with it the only thing that saddens me is that it wasn't made earlier 😂

Yo this video and mod is fun! (btw if you multiply negative by negative you get positive 🤓)

1: Please post more videos with this matchup and encourage pros to matchups like this. 2: Let blizz know they should have a online competitive mode on pro level which includes ALL units in sc2 from the sc2 campaign which has many legacy units like the dragoon. This would create a fTon of diversity of builds and add so much diversity and attention into the game with very little effort (aside from the balancing nightmare but they have a team for that!)

Best mod plz more of this, also mirrors broodwar vs sc2 =)

Korean GM Zerg that does not get lingspeed and does not creep?

Dragoon is strong than stalker

The broodwar player definitely has an advantage. The broodwar unit special abilities are overpowered.

Flash or JaeDong Vs Lowko Please?

Love the original BW sounds, make me feel nostalgic, is awesome 😊

I played brood war on the N64. What a time to be alive

Definitely do more of this mod!

what happen when dark archon mindcontrol the infestor that mindcontrol his unit hahha

The only thing the dark archons are casting confusion on is Lowko

Y this Zerg no spread creep?

I think a mirror matchup would be really entertaining in this mod. Just imagine a TvT with the old siege tanks

Dragoons are, in fact, mini Immortals - fallen warriors in a robotic body given a second chance to fight.

This is fun..sc1 vs sc2

This mod is incredible. Would love to see more high level players trying it out!

Pro gamer games are indeed interesting. But I also love to see more of this game mode! I'm glad more and more people are playing and covering it. I'll gladly watch more of this!

That is AWESOME!!! Could you do some kind of collab wth Artosis????? That would be two of many people's favourite RU-vidrs brought together!

I dont remember the arbiter cloaking units. Used to love that stasis cell. Man. That protoss destroyed that zerg. all game.

The balance seems to be in favor of the Protoss brood war due to the storms strength, the ability of maelstrom to freeze and kill (like an Over Powered fungal) and the arbiter and dark archons are insane. Mix in a half dozen reg archons instead of dragoons! Would LOVE TO SEE BOTH SIDES PLAY SC1 ON THE SC2 ENGINE!!!

Es increíble ver cómo Protoss SC1 hacen que el Zerg SC2 juegue en modo defensivo, jajajajaja...

"You can make the mamaship, not quite as cool as the Arbiter" An objectively true statement.

Your editing skills failed you. Khaidarin Amulet increases Maximum Energy of High Templars by 50 and Starting energy by 12.5 or something like that.

SC1 Carriers, the interceptors dock and get redeployed constantly, temporarily becoming hidden/invulnerable so missile attacks can miss and any target locks are lost. Making them even more powerful. Unlike SC2 where they are always deployed, easily picked off. I guess that's why in SC2, they do 5x2 damage instead of 6. A buff because they are unable to code the SC1 interceptors.

Psi-storm was BS in BW. Anyway, wonder if damage "quirks" from 1 are applied, like dragoons doing half damage to zerlings and mutas, etc. Edit: Reavers would have destroyed both the lurkers, the swarms and the ultras.

Put my vote in for seeing more of this. And I really miss the StarCraft 1 Brood War Protoss abilities, including the way the energy upgrades work; this particular game was a reminder of that. It reminds me of how what I really wanted from StarCraft 2 was StarCraft 1.5. By the way, in StarCraft 1 (not sure about this mod), the energy upgrades increased the starting energy a little bit (from 50 to 62.5), but they increased the maximum energy more (from 200 to 250 in each case), thereby benefiting units already in the field. I don't think they increased energy generation rate, but that would have made sense. In contrast, the StarCraft 2 energy upgrades only increase starting energy (but increase it more, from 50 to 75), which means no benefit to units already in the field (and in the case of High Templar, made them Storm-ready immediately upon warp-in, which is why that upgrade was removed in one of the Wings of Liberty patches -- if they had just made it work like in StarCraft 1, it would have been fine to keep).

Would absolutely love seeing more Broodwar vs SC2, I miss so may of those old units. SC1 Queens!! BRENDAAAAA will be vindicated; "Back in my day we use to fly!"

Would love to see SC1 zerg against SC2 factions, since SC1 zerg was heavily hampered by unit selection limit :D Also, dark swarm, my beloved

Zerg SC2: Yesssss, we control protos probe. We will bilnd the Golden armada. Protoss SC1: Haha, drone build hatchery. I want to see ZvP, when Zerg use protos technologie, and Protos use zergs units.

I'm honestly surprised the SC1 versions can keep up with SC2 versions. SC1 versions suffer from: - no macro boosts (i.e. mules, queens, and chrono) - smaller quantity of unit options - less cost-effective defensive structures - casters begin with only 1 spell

Interesting. So you can't mind control an ultralisk, but you can neural whatever you wish. Carriers, motherships, archons, anything.

MC! There's a name I haven't heard in ages. Also, possibly pedantic pronunciation - maelstrom is pronounced MALEstrom, but (and this may have simply been your accent) I was hearing it as MILLstrom.

16:30 zerg just lost 6 broodlings, which is huge, through a good combination of ability casting. But LowkoTV commentary was no where near the level of the scene, i expected more passion about the game lowko.....

Wow, Darkhons seem so broken. Are the stolen unit counted towards protoss supply? Even if they aren't "nice army you got there, it would be shame if your supply turns from 200 to 150, and mine from 200 to 250."

The crazy AOE of Protoss in SCI plus the cluster mechanism in SCII...PIMBA

Overtime the meta will become very interesting between BW & SC2, as both will have to change their playstyles. BW - Slower and costlier but more powerful SC2 - weaker but faster and more diverse.

I wish there was a mod to permanently move all the old voices over from "SC1" to "SC2". The Zerg Overmind voice in "SC2" is unbearable....

HELL YEAH Dragooooons! Reaver drops! Dark Archons! TBH, it's not a true SC1 game unless you agree on a no rush timing, lol

This mod looks really cool, although I am not sure it will last long competitively unless they are willing to make some sacrifices in authenticity to balance some things. Although it would be cool if there was 2 mods 1- With the broodwar units JUST as they were, and current units JUST as they are 2- One where they make changes to either/both to somewhat balance them As for you casting it...I would watch more games~

I'd love to see more! I do have a question, though: won't dark swarm be totally and utterly broken in sc2? It's already crazy in sc1. Give defilers sc2 unit pathing and smart casting: that's insane.

No way that's a zerg GM, more like gold league at best. Both the execution, but especially the strategy, were garbage. MC stomping some scrub, basically. I would've liked to see a more balanced match between similarly skilled players.

Questions... if you mind control a different race's worker and build a townhall, do you get their 200 supply as well, like in broodwar? Or do you share 200 like sc2?

It was fun to watch. But I think Brood War races are more powerful than their SC2 equivalents, maybe with exception of Terrans because Brood War Terrans are really difficult to play.

SC2 Protoss sucks, Warpgate forces gateway units to be weak as shit. SC1 toss normal rally from production building so much better. Who cares if you lose a “unique skill” it’s over a decade old it’s not cool since WoL

Need to have ALL BW building aesthetics so as to make BW even more distinguishable from their SC2 counterparts. It's a nitpick but it would go a long way to make it look like there are 6 official races in Starcraft. Also no nerfing of BW, allow the meta to sort itself out.

Smartcast feature makes broodwar spells much easier to use. If you had 4 high templars selected in broodwar they would ALL cast psistorm on the same spot if they had mana. Psistorm does not stack in broodwar also. So that would be a lot of mana wasted. To balance this out spells were strong. The balance between sc1 and sc2 seems to be quite good already. I think bw spells are still underutilised. Irradiate vs zerg. Lockdown vs toss and terran. Plague darks swarm spawn broodling. Should ensnare disable blink though🙃 This game was a good demonstration of bw protoss spells.

I suppose that this mode leads to Starcraft: Regorged with 6 playable races. That should be developed 100% So it's kind of time singularity happened and Old versions of races moved to the future or contemporaries were thrown to the past.

Due to the super excessive monetization that forces me to watch (I counted them) 8 unskippable 60 second ads in this video, I will be unsubscribing. Sorry lowko. But when I can watch the exact same content but without wasting my time with ads, it's not worth it. I hope you change your heavy monetization on your content. Until you do I'll be watching winter's, or another casters content instead.

They never should've removed dark archons from SC2, man. OP, sure, but tune them down a bit and they're just so fun. Mind controlling an enemy worker is still just the coolest-but-most-impractical thing.

honestly, surprised the zerg didn't get more vipers. i don't know what bw toss can do vs vipers beyond DA, which maybe....are just soft counters rather than hard counters.

I'd really like to see SC1 TvP in SC2. I mean I could just watch Broodwar casts but I'm quite curious how they would look like in SC2. I am more familiar with SC1 than SC2 btw

The SC2 storm is very busy, foggy looking. SC1, like here, is sharp and thin! Much more striking

Absolutely love it. In general, I feel like the BW races are gonna wreck shop. On paper, all the stats are overtuned by comparison because the old BW engine was super janky and units were less efficient in their movements and apm. I can't wait to see defilers hitting things with plague and dark swarm with hydra's spitting straight damage.

Old factions. Protoss = The conclave Terran = UED Zerg = Overmind
