Thread: Thoughts: What is your favorite gameplay to watch

    Default Thoughts: What is your favorite gameplay to watch

    This is more or less directed at people who watch streams. What gameplay do you enjoy watching? Is it a specific strat? The use of a specific ability? Units you rarely see? Nuke wars? High micro standard play?

    I'm just thinking about how to pull out new strats or what strats to refine and figured I'd ask the public "What strats do you ENJOY WATCHING?"

    Ready... go!

    I like to see people use rediculous strats and win with them

    example - Cannon rush resulting in victory and the loser going "WTF I HATE YOUUUU" and the winner just lol'ing cuz he/she won using a rediculous strat

    1) A strategy (preferably some kind of attack) built around Hallucination! I do not see nearly enough of that!

    2) Hydralisks. I never get sick of seeing masses of Hydralisks. I loved seeing it in BW, and I love seeing it in SC2 .

    3) Cracklings sniping buildings. We see this in BW, but not in SC2. It's probably largely because Cracklings aren't as powerful in SC2 as they were in BW, but it's still something I'd like to see .

    4) Viking ground assaults. Vikings in assault mode are so cool. <3

    5) Ultralisks being used to win the game, as opposed to being a unit which you build when you're already ahead.

    littleone type tactics. period. enough of this is it a 4 or 5 or 6 or7 spawn pool or racks. no no. I want Omfg...he just...built a hatchery in the natural of the other guy! like really crazy stuff. and less also of the counter units wiping out the other guys army because they are counter units. there was a match sahara casted between two terran players that were just trench warring each other on kulas ravine i think it was? but man they were just streaming rines and maurauders at each other. like bloody kulas ravine. stuff where its really trench warefare. yeah theres a decent amount of that. I guess i like more primitive play. but i have seen some of the platinum players just all out rines lol


    anyway idk, just an opinion.
    drac summarized it perfectly. OMG its like world war one!

    said in 1..2..4.
    6 words lol
    i can count.

    When they do something that isn't out of the norm, but something people don't generally do. For example using snipe to hunt down wandering units, or actually using Carriers for something other than massing. I'm yet to see good use of the Mothership and Infested Terrans as well...

    I just love massive battles. Micro and macro. Zealots and stalker beating the shit out of everything, while high templars and sentries bring the sparks. And on the terran side, marauders and tanks fights, with ravens and ghosts.

    My favourite games to watch are Terran vs Protoss. SO much diversity, a lot of units, a lot of stuff to watch. I don't care about zurgs. They are just boring. Boring as hell. And dont get me started about Zerg vs Zerg... JESUS CHRIST. The roach battles are B-O-R-I-N-G.
    Waiting...

    The damned will return...

    I like 1v1s and rushing stuff to win the game as early as possible with a smart move. Smart, micro intensive games.

    Using blink ability with stalkers.

    You know, this is actually one I see quite a bit of .

    I think this had very convincing use of Blink: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pETcAm82vXU

    This KiwiKaki fellow also seems to have a fondness for the Blink ability, and he seems to try and find uses for it, even though it may not be traditionally used in whatever situation he's in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r22A-PyblRU

    Finally, I see Blink used very effectively as a means to kill Brood Lords. I was under the impression that this was the #1 way for Protoss to kill Brood Lords - Blinking your Stalkers underneath them and them focus-firing them down.
