GStar 2009 Videos

wow i expected those battlecruisers to be so much more of a threat. even the active defense matrix did nothing.

the zerg players are either missing a core unit in their strategy (the infestor) or the zerg are not very good compared to the other races

from these videos, i also think the thor is a little too useful. having that barrage ability, long range ATA missiles with little cool down and a good base attack with lots of hp. they cant have all this because they are gonna become too much of a must unit for terran and i really wouldnt like them that way.

i had fun watching it all.

i don't think that terran player used his bc's right. if i was that player i would have held back my bc's until i reached the magical number 12 and gave them all Y-cannon. then when he had ran into the zerg brood lord force he could have held his bc's back and y-cannon the brood lords and any other unit x12.

watching a pile of corruptors and seeing their shadows wiggle around in a single mass gave a very zerg hive feeling to me.

it looked the zerg cornered the terrans with either focus on the big zerg units tearing you apart, or you focus on the little zerg swarm tearing you apart. i guess they have been using the increased queen production to tech up faster.

the only thing the zerg didn't get were infestors and lurkers. i'd really like to see the new and improved lurker in action. anyone 2nd this? it's the only zerg thing we haven't seen.

FYI, according to Xordiah this build was from BlizzCon '09 and much has changed since then.

Glad you enjoyed DreamHack and especially gald you enjoyed StarCraft 2. Thanks for your feedback, though I have to put in a disclaimer, the build you played is from BlizzCon, so several months old and quite a bit has changed since then. These events are a bit more to give you an impression on how this game "feels" and not to let you get your build orders for release and figure out the best tactics.

Is the same build used at Dreamhack and G Star?

The videos on the SC:Legacy channel that end in .wmv. Are these actual .wmvs that can be downloaded, so we can avoid recompression artifacts and such? If so, where are they?

Those were uploading by another user. If you want the original, you'd probably have to ask him. The problem is he's Korean

We saw more units being used in play, but overall the quality of the games were lower. I know how units look, I don't need to see that :|

I like to see some nice games, which the BRs were. There was a couple of good games from G-Star, but compared to the video quality and commentating on the BRs it doesn't even come close to the same amount of entertainment.

Dreamhack had the Blizzcon Build. The Korean seems to have an older build (Stalkers use 2 streams rather than 1 from Blizzcon)

BTW, this is pre-beta still. I really can’t believe they haven’t released the game yet.

I like the fluid, natural, improvised feel of these games. Of course, the Battle Reports are going to be better in certain ways because they're hand selected from countless replays. It just doesn't feel the same to me though.

He could speak english.

I'm sure that people that speaks Korean had a lot more fun with the comments.
