StarCraft 2: BATTLECRUISER Openers Are Back! (HeroMarine vs Reynor) 

Gen z high 5 bro

You’re not alone

Same here, my daughter is asleep right now.

Mine as well. I watch your videos all the time.

Hahahaha lzr

Like protoss, when void ray failed, dts!!

Protoss has them cool cloaked observers. They can also scout with hallucinated units 🤷🏽‍♂️

non-player/only-watcher of 7years here: my take on it is a different idea.. i think protoss has to rely on tricking his opponent and thus is inconsistent, because protoss isnt that micro-able as other races. i dont think protoss-pros are worse than terran/zerg and i dont think thats the reason they have lower APM most of the times. i think it is, because you just cant get that much more out of the race just by being able to hit more buttons. i think terran+zerg reward the player much more for being able to do multiple things at once. and that also means, that protoss is hard to balance. in zerg and terran you have so many possibilites to screw your gameplan up even without interacting with your opponent (creepspread, queen injects, makroing out of multiple barracks, keeping your scans/mules up). protoss doesnt have that. and that's why protoss feels stronger on the ladder and lower ELOs.. to a certain point, sc2 is a skill-check at first. the first few ladders from the bottom basicly are "who can play their build better".. then gold/diamond follows with "who can play his build + control his army properly?" and then Master and GM the additional "how good is your crisis management?".. and protoss basicly skips parts of the first two essentials by being good with a-move and a solid built. but to me it feels like protoss cant really mix it up properly.. a pure groundarmy stops at midgame for protoss.

Oh.. so like... 90% of the game. Got it.

Except they're not good against most biological units though, only against high supply endgame biological units and only with very good micro.

Zerglings are situational! They are only good against small biological units, large biological units, mechanical units, collosal units, and spellcasters!

@@tambaz2276 Yeah the issue I think is that Marine/marauder is good against everything Ghosts aren't

@@InfernalAlice Like marines... Wait no. But large like lurkers... Wait no. But mechanical like siege tanks or WMs... Wait no. But colossal like ultras... Wait no. But Spellcasters like ghosts... Wait no.

Hahahah now that MarineLord is playing AoE4 I guess the Hero can become the Lord

beat me to it!

Agree, as a P, i feel like I was advantaged as a noob when I learned A click, but now at low master when people make encirclement and stutter steps, i feel like I'm punished more heavely for mistakes than Terrans (or zergs).

while micro is more important since Toss units are so expensive.. i feel like toss-players cant stand out with exceptional micro.. you can micro any unit with warpprism, okay. but other than that you have stalker-blink and disruptors..anything else? i wouldnt call sentry-bubble or hightemplar storming micro.. are we counting "keep your archons in front of your HT and your skytoss army above it" as micro? sure, it's easy to screw that up, dont get me wrong, but is it micro? i dunno why, but i want toss-players to be able to shine more with micro. i dont think they are worse than top-terran/zergs, i just feel like they lack oportunities due to the race-layout

Specifically the last game whereas finished off with 4 - 0 win, maru was just having fun at that point

Man why u Spoiler me

@@shishalavisha5822 It's the space for people to talk about the game, why are you reading it before watching ? Of course you'll be spoiled.

@@TyphoonJig He spoiled me too. You can't avoid reading top comment at the time because it's always show. I just opened this video and this comment slap me in the face.

Atleast you should hide it under spoiler

Multiple Orbital's to spam mules on mineral patches. An ultra late-game terran has few SVC's and gets their minerals from mules. I've never heard of it called the Iron Bank before, but as a ASoIAF/GoT fan, I whole heartedly endorse the name. EDIT: I had to put ASoIAF before GoT, or else I was giving D&D too much credit.

It's probably because he's trying to cancel his zerg main bias too hard.

@@rrbb5687 that, or he subconsciously assumes that whatever the zerg is doing is less exciting because he's more familiar with it

I mean, it generally is more boring. Zerg stay on tier 1 units for years, and teching up is really gradual. Most of their units need upgrades to be useful and stuff like Lair and Spire just take ages to build. Toss and Terran open by teching up, Z teching rewards hit with such a delay they tech behind the midgame gameplay. Like, what are you going to do? Ling speed and Void Rays occur roughly at the same time, the absolute fastest Spire is 30sec and a bunch of gas slower than a Terran Starport and single Spire units are garbage. Tunneling Roaches take two consecutive Lair tech upgrades to be truly useful. Zerglings are awful at busting in people's front doors. Zerg dropships require a speed upgrade to even move and even then they are slow trash. The only real questions in Z early game are "are they making enough Roaches to push a front door", "are they Queenwalking vs. Stargate" and "is the Z player's name Bly". Outside that, Z early game is dry as the fucking Sahara. Good defensively, but 0 cool things to do.

@@Komatik_ and that's why zerg has the ability to spawn 6workers at once and usually doesnt trade efficient. if zerg had the same possibilities and the ability to pump out that many workers, they'd be broken. and that's why it's always the job of P+T to keep zerg from doing their stuff in peace.

that would require more skill to use them

At like 3:10 Zerg started pulling ahead in drones. 4 minute mark, zerg is 9 workers ahead. 5 min mark when the marines touched the creep, the 9 workers lead was still maintained. I'm not sure how you count, but that doesn't look even at all. At their low level of workers, that's nearly 20% worker lead. It was only at 5:30 that the 3rd CC started. If this was a different build, the 3rd CC would've been finished already. Also, remember that Reynor was pool first there. If he was hatch first, the eco lead would've been way bigger, and he could still catch up in zergling production when the overlord spots the marine moveout. When the medivacs arrived, Terran still at 2 bases while zerg is at 4. This isn't even a two base all in lol. I've seen this build work a couple of times, but it was only when the Terran is fighting a weaker opponent. I haven't seen this work vs top level zergs.

mate you commented 15 seconds into the video lol

yea

Maybe Mutas? They would be able to counter their medivacs, have no energy to emp, are highly mobile, can pull back quickly to regen. But definitely not Ultras. Thats a quick way to throw a game.

U can for sure get gold bro! These videos contain a lot of great builds and how to play different match ups if you implemented just a 10th of what you saw you will get plat :). Don’t underestimate yourself!

@@isaiahjoy771 Ill try my best i guess hahaha

he did a like 1-2 a few weeks ago and i think he's actually thinking about it, the feedback wasnt bad whatsoever

I do cast live occasionally, but usually prefer picking and choosing the games/series I want to cover

If people just played better they would be fine. Zerg players just have higher standards for minimum apm to be good. Like if you were good enough to actually be constantly doing Terran drops like Zerg does ling run bys then you’d see Zerg isn’t all that good

Disagree. Zerg is just a more permissive race, that allows small mistakes and poor harass. But with perfect play, there is no way a Terran or a protists loose vs perfect play Zerg lategame. So maybe nerf defensive option might do the trick ( for aggressive early timing) but in this case something has to be done to make Zerg early aggression better at pro level. But if you make early Zerg better at aggro for the pro, Zerg will just roll over people until at least diamond with semi cheese
