Old man playing Starcraft Brood War
S rank maphacker pulls UNO reverse card
Opponent never sent a scout probe out.
However he did send a probe to his ramp right as mine arrived. Then he opted for 3 zealots with a pylon at ramp for battery (not needed), hardest counter to a 2 gate.
Followed that with a dt rush which I scouted and so he opted not to make any dts because he knew I had a robo (and also I guess he never actually checked which spawn I was at).
Followed that with expansion with no goon range no dts just ht and cannons.
Picked off some scout probes he couldn't possibly have seen and opted not to build any scouting pylons etc. because he had full vision.
His play was so weird that I was able to call it as hack pretty early and then optimize against an opponent with perfect vision. I cancelled the 3rd zealot because he can't see unit production (and so would still try to counter a 2 gate) and it was clear I would get no value from it, instead going for faster tech. Opted for a pure macro mechanics game because I couldn't surprise him with harass or strategy. Fortunately he just wasn't very good, his MMR was very inflated by his hacking.

One weird trick can make any Protoss 2400 overnight. Terrans hate this!
PvT theory discussion with Jumperer

I happened to catch a late night Jumperer stream on 5/20/23 and spent most of a PvT backseating. He was kind enough to let me get on discord with him after the game and flame him. Flaming session uploaded with his permission. www.twitch.tv/jumperer
Teaching an A rank maphacker a lesson 2-0
มุมมอง 329ปีที่แล้ว
I don't trivially make accusations of maphack but in this case it is pretty undeniable. Game 1 he sends one of his first 4 probes to make horror gates on a 4 player map, doesn't scout once for the rest of the game, and tries to attack a shuttle he hasn't seen. Game 2 he doesn't scout, opens blind cannons at natural vs 2 gate. Pretty damning stuff. Unfortunately maphack wasn't enough to save him.

Was a different session and I stopped doing the 2 gate every game every matchup thing but whatever. It's been a month or two and I wanted to wrap the F to S thing up so here you go. Let me know if you want any reps or have any questions.
KwarK vs Julia 5-0
มุมมอง 396ปีที่แล้ว
Julia gets extremely upset every time that I beat him. Unfortunately for him that happens a lot. It happened a few months ago when we ran into each other in the BSL Surprise Tour ro8 and I knocked him out. It happened during the Ascension ladder on Shield Battery. It's just how our games go. He has been insisting that I didn't 5-0 him, and also that he actually 5-0ed me but that he can't show t...

TvP analysis
มุมมอง 937ปีที่แล้ว
An example of identifying the opponent's win condition and loss conditions. In this game the Protoss hit a 200/200 power spike at 12 minutes but would see a rapid decline in his ability to win a fight as Terran upgrades improved and Terran army supply caught up. By identifying the Protoss's win condition we could adapt to deny the fight he needed.

Oh man, this is such amazing content. I try so hard, try to play so fast, and yet I lose game after game. To watch you take your time and destroy people simply because you understand the game so well is like magic. I wish you were streaming more and releasing more content like this.
I'll stream tonight for you then.
@ ❤️ Nice, looking forward to tuning in! :)
amazing vid. you can apply this knowledge to basically any rts or game with an economy
I hate this cheese in starcraft 1. I think it's pathetic and it kills the game. You can't well defend it.
Imagine if Artosis learns this.
question still stands
Baby killed my sleep.
Hey bro, can you please do StarCraft 2?
starting F and saying "just make probes" with micro agression and multi tasking is kinda the joke. He's clearly abusing smurfing to be honnest.
I mean, yea I agree with you on the micro agression part, but multi tasking is how rts are designed to be played.
get a job freak
Hi, Kwark. I don’t follow reddit or TL much, but I really want to know if you are ok and why you don’t stream for so long
Hi, thanks for reaching out. I have a new daughter and am tired a lot which has made playing bw pretty frustrating. Right now I'm playing a lot of EVE Online instead. But you can always reach me on discord (I'm on all the big bw ones) and one day I'll probably play again.
@@kwark_uk362 Happy to hear about your baby! Been there, know the challenge. Eve is good, have fun there :) Wish you all the best.
you sound very full of yourself

why there isnt any new video here?
Geeez.. it looks like you know everything about this game. You dont need to cheat to know what is going on in base of opponent XD
protoss so easy
more shit like this? or your own game analysis?
Thanks for this kwark! I've been playing vs comps 1v7 ect. just so I can still enjoy the game cause I had 5 wins in F rank in 100+ games (with terran though). Switched to protoss and have been following 2 gate and really enjoying learning the game again!!!! There isn't any chance you have these games as replays do you?
Message me on discord and I’ll see if I can find them.
Great analysis, bro! Keep it up!
much more useful content for beginners than 2 gating or "beginner" builds through ladder
kwark your the man. youve helped me with my PvT alot. thanks and subscribed.
Hi. I’ve been taking 6 months off of bw to play other games but people like you taking the time to comment is really appreciated. You’ve got me thinking about bw again and I think I’ll do a stream this weekend. Thank you for the feedback.
Nice game 🔥
Are you the guy that is obsessed with Artosis streamsniping him with new accounts all the time?
Nevermind, the next video is you bragging about it so I guess I got my answer lol
@@popsme11 I recommend against getting facts from twitch chats. Not queued to match Artosis since 2020. His viewers make it into far more than it is. I don’t even play bw these days.
more vids like this?
I’m mostly playing Eve online right now unfortunately.
@@kwark_uk362 Bro's mostly playing Eve online right now unfortunately 💀💀💀💀💀
@@Ball4184 one day I’ll get a good night’s sleep and then it’s bw time
Really great analysis! I’ve been playing this game for many years now but still can’t get past C/B Rank! I finally understand that it’s because of not thinking it through like you do there: ‚what is my winning condition here?‘ ‚if I do X what is he going to do?‘, or ‚what is his plan on how he wants to win this game and how would I stop that? Etc. I’m so surprised to see you having a low APM but BiG Brain guess that’s why you are S Rank! Wish you would continue to put out TH-cam videos and Protoss tutorials etc. All the best and many greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭:)
Thank you for your kind words. I’m taking some time off of bw right now but I’m sure I’ll make more content again one day.
This is so good! I love it … So the exact time I’m aiming for is : 0:48 pylon 1:13 gateway 1 1:48 gateway 2 Am I right here ?
hey, first off, great content! i gota ask though...at around 4:58:00 u won a huge fight bc the enemy forgot to upgrade storm... why did u pull back after killing most of his army w no lose??
There was no real upside to attacking the nat. He was far ahead because he’d built up a huge energy bank on his ht and would be able to dominate the middle of the map. I took a bad fight because he was going to force the matter but I was taking it to lose the game and go next. If I didn’t take it in the middle I’d have to clump units in my nat and get stormed to death so taking a fight I couldn’t win in the middle was slightly better than taking it in my nat. I could at least split units in the middle. When he realized he forgot storm he bailed with almost all of his bigger army intact. However his ht lagged behind and got killed. That gave me map control and a contain but he was retreating to his nat because it was a superior defensive position. He knew he couldn’t win in the middle but might be able to win at the nat because I had no AOE damage. My nat was a shitty defensive position vs his army because of all his storm so I try to fight a losing battle in the middle. His nat is a great defensive position vs my army because I have no AOE so I would be attacking into an arc. In that context there’s no real upside to attacking. I’ve already gotten what I wanted, I’ve avoided my nat being contained and being broken by storm. I’ve also gotten a big bonus, killing all his high energy ht. But I didn’t wipe out his army, he retreated it to a superior defensive position to take the fight there. Taking the fight he wants me to take at the location he wants to take it is all downside, no upside. Expanding with map control and building up my own ht count is the safe play.
@@kwark_uk362I really appreciate you taking the time to come back and respond to my question in such length… I thought you could just end the game there, but your answer makes perfect sense… thanks….. again great vid/content
this its great :D until max out :( idk what to do in max out:((
So that klauncher is the map hack he is using? Edit: yes it is the website where you can download the map hack so every time you see that message you can know it is a dog shit guy that thinks it is smart.
10 mins in still just defining “trade off” … Edit: okay flip flopping over the line - or maximizing the minimum line is neat
Gold! This may be my favorite clip in all of english BW. Would love some more content from your stream here.
Hey Kwark did you see my post? It got deleted.....
I only see 4 posts here but Discord is the best way to get hold of me.
Whats a prove boost?? Don't this 2 gateway builds straigt up die to 2.5 hatch muta? Great content.
Probe boosting or mineral boosting is selecting your crystals, angles, and pressing return cargo to optimize your income early.
These videos have been fun thanks for the content - Redmund
Artosis played this fella later in the night as well ... except RT managed to out-toxic him into leaving haha: www.twitch.tv/videos/1834384143?t=04h27m45s
So valuable
The difference is most players just mindlessly play, they aren't really thinking.
Hi Kwark. I'm a low ranked Zerg but actually found this very interesting, as your explanation of why the two gate threat is so powerful and what the Zerg players are doing incorrectly in response to it is insightful. Many thanks.
If he wants to map hack, chances are, he has no idea how to deal with a rush of units early on since he does not know how to play the game 😂
Artosis playing TvP isway too frustrating to watch and then double frustrating when he gives an opinion after. Especially as he follows the meta and his philosphy is to copy the current pro meta.. why is he moving out? little things like messing around with wraith, endless BAD MICRO in engagements, queuing tons of units, BAD UNIT RETENTION FROM ENGAGEMENT TO ENGAGEMENT I know we can't expect perfect. But you can refine this kind of thing. Fastest players have tight builds and play a lot of TvP and i find that to be good practice (and you see other people improving on there) outside of the 1v1 meta pressure
Wtf are these players doing with their 200+ apm
given you can just hotkey a building and hold down the key to inflate your APM, probably scratching their ass, checking their phone maybe?
That was me on the left at the end lol. I was super obsessed with getting more APM / faster mechanics and not actually learning the game back then
<-TJsuited on twitch so I love the poker vocab with it haha
I wanted to be your reddit friend many years ago to pick your brain but this is even better :D
Very excellent video! Hope you keep releasing stuff like this!
lol @ the "143 apm ㅋㅋㅋ" comments from kor gitc ... some things just transcend cultures
Didn't you put subtitles on this one?
Hello friend, by chance I was watching your latest videos and I received the notification of this one, super good thanks. At the moment I am from Cuba I play protos, what is your battle tag on the West server to send you a friend request? Thanks for your videos, they help a lot.
Kwark_uK on west
Nice game. Would like to see the full replay where you give comments on your thought process during the game.
I did a search on teamliquid and it looks like I actually streamed the game at the time. Problem is that the vod was deleted. www.twitch.tv/videos/1164888003?t=48m15s I’ll have to check old hard drives to see if I downloaded it. I can cast the replay but Sea just isn’t that good these days.
@@kwark_uk362 >>>>>> Elitist !!!! Sea is in ASL 16, who is now "isn’t that good these days" Long live clan Kwark though!!!
Amazing game. Kwark just always seems to know exactly what to do to win the game, and exactly how the opponent wins the game and how to frustrate it.
Select protoss?
What about being scared of playing him for 100$?
I’m happy to play him. Jumperer tried to set up a showmatch for last Sunday but Julia didn’t show. Get Julia to agree to a date and that any $ goes to a charity (winner’s choice) and I’ll be there.
I'm a lowly D Terran, but I really found this video very helpful to hear from your perspective. I always felt very scared seeing how big the Protoss gateway army can be by 12-13 minutes and felt like I HAD to attack a base or something to stay in the game.
The foreign scene needs as much of this as possible. Thanks!
