Guys, I really recommend SC2Casts if you want even more commentaries, including HD's. It's a really convenient way of looking at games since it puts multipart commentaries on the same page. Take a look at Huk vs TLO when you're there, you won't regret it.
@RockYourSocks0ff What gave it away there was when he was lifting/landing the barracks - neither player had vision of each other there. Masq couldn't see the lings outside the base and Idra couldn't see that he was lifting/landing the barracks... unless of course BOTH players were using the maphack. *eye roll*
@lassek85 If you notice whitera's nexus can't build the second probe untill the first one is finished, if you split normaly and just right click a mineral patch with all the probes selected then its more effiecent, not by much but pro's like whitera can use every second they can get, just watch near the beginning, the first probe builds then a second later he starts the second probe, when i split normally i can build my second probe 2-3 seconds before my first probe is done.
@Manfennas I think the metagame is about the evolution of a game strategy-wise, for example at the beginning of the beta people didn't used much banelings, but a few weeks later people started to understand how to use them correctly THAT is the evolution of the metagame....I could be wrong though :P
@jemmani22 Yea, I watched how he microd the stalkers with the blink and how he used them and it is only above average, Im a platinum player and even MY micro is better. What makes Whitera good is that he isn't scared of trying extreme things, going behind the natural and so on.
@lassek85 Ahhh ok, I was really just trying to get across that whitera has been splitting wrong this whole time, and honestly I can go on to say 2x3 does take more micro and thus causes you to build your first probe slower, but I do understand that 5x1 has a disadvantage that 2x3 gives, where probes do get to the minerals faster, but the thing is when you 5x1 you get enough minerals to build a second probe before the first ones done, thus making it the easiest/most efficient way to split.
ahhah i was just watching some WCG stuff of starcraft 1, do you know what would be cool, Husky and HD being the english commentators at the next WCG when SC2 is officially out =D
@KnightKiller1000 lol this is completely not what we were talking about; we are talking about the time of scan...which happened before the stalkers attacked lol.
@ceebass he was hoping not to lose any of those stalkers, he was a little sloppy. His thouht might have been"i'll try to save this army instead if blinking it into a sure death at the line" The difference of losing all the stalkers vs only taking out a few SCVs isn't very enticing,considering Masq already had his exp up. What YOU were talking about would have been sacrifice,suicide. White-ra made the right play, he also gaine dintel on masq's base. Derp.
@Soulzityr Masq already knows that there is a Twilight Council cuz of the Stalkers Blinking... You can know these things by the actions of the units doing it...
@graog123 oh i see. thanks :). well i guess that makes sense, but whitera loves those blinks, and loves to hide, so i think masq would still expect it.
@lassek85 Its inefficent, and its not really micro heavy as its just kinda slowing down how fast you can make a probe and continue to build the second probe, it takes extra time to split the probes and even more time as it gives you minerals slightly slower, iv seen just doing 5x1 and 2x3 and 2x3 is like 2-5 seconds worse depending on how fast you do it, but its never better, thats what I am trying to say.
It seems like Whitera's harass was more showy than it was productive. At 6:18, why does he blink BACK and then dance to the other entrance, get snared up at 7:02 and force the front door? WHy not blink behind the mineral line and get on those SCVs originally at 6:18? If a harass fails to do economic damage, then it becomes detrimental; it becomes sacrifice.
@blgdinger3 I think you miss my slight tongue in cheek... a lot of people don't when I use caps like that... should have added a smiley face or something. Right, I have heard that, but that's not the same use as whatever HD is doing- that's the "easily accomplished goal" use. Not the dance use. "It can't be so easy for you to enter here" is a paraphrase. The main point is, the way he uses "abuse" incorrectly (and so frequently) really distracts for me... things like that are why I prefer Husky.
![The moment we stopped understanding AI [AlexNet]](/img/n.gif)
I have never played this game or starcraft 1 but the commentaries are very entertaining. Especially with a commentator this clear and enthusiastic.
@Arphyn I think that spreads them out more so you can evenly harvest your minerals..
I like Masq style gonna be one of my favorites to watch from here on out please continue to post more of this guy.
This was educating. I learned that once a clip is published there might be other resolutions on the way, brilliant.
Music in the beggining is awesome!
"He does have stim. He does have sh.."

Lol @ the ending. "HE DOES HAVE SHIELDS. HE DOES HAVE SH [cut off]"
Lol, WhiteRa say hi hi. I'm having goose bump
"And he does have SHHH~"
what a cliffhanger D:
this is honestly the most amazing game i have seen. especialy in the second half
i have to admit, masq is amazing with his micro
alrighty then. ladies and gentlemen .. welcome back to another hd cast
6:45 HAHAHAHA.
HD you're amazing, that was a fantastic noise
I like watching SC2 games more then playing them.
Masq seems like a really great guy. hope to see more
@dooshsayswhat
Totally agree, great commentary.
HD thanks for listening to us! Masq has a new fanbase now :D
HunterStarcraft casted one of Masq WhiteRa games. It was interesting
LOL! HD saying stalker waltzing 4:15! He has been watching to much dancing with the stars!!!!!! :-D
@RockYourSocks0ff What gave it away there was when he was lifting/landing the barracks - neither player had vision of each other there. Masq couldn't see the lings outside the base and Idra couldn't see that he was lifting/landing the barracks... unless of course BOTH players were using the maphack. *eye roll*
@bluefire66 FE - "fast expand". No specific build actually, just means he's going for a second base early
This should be interesting.
We should see Masq vs TLO too.
@bluefire66 FE - fast expand. there is no specific build, just means going to put up another base early
the stalker is christoph waltzing across the map, ha!
YESSS FINALLY UPLOAADS!!! MOAR MASQ YEAYUH!!
Man i need to try and remember what videos ive watched and what i havent.
@lassek85 If you notice whitera's nexus can't build the second probe untill the first one is finished, if you split normaly and just right click a mineral patch with all the probes selected then its more effiecent, not by much but pro's like whitera can use every second they can get, just watch near the beginning, the first probe builds then a second later he starts the second probe, when i split normally i can build my second probe 2-3 seconds before my first probe is done.
ROFL at the very end of the clip: "He does has stim. He does have SHI--
@Manfennas I think the metagame is about the evolution of a game strategy-wise, for example at the beginning of the beta people didn't used much banelings, but a few weeks later people started to understand how to use them correctly THAT is the evolution of the metagame....I could be wrong though :P
THE BUNKER!!! UNGHHHHHHHHHHH SO CLOSE
rofl I love hd.
Can't wait for another :) checking your subscription everyday HD :)
almost sounds like he's gonna say "and he does have shhhhhhhhhhhhhhitloads of units" at the end of the vid
MAsq BETTER be invited to the next HDH, because these games prove, he would have ravaged that tourny.
I miss starcraft 2.
@dooshsayswhat you really should get both this and starcraft 1 its a very fun game andi'm sure you'd enjoy
God I wish I had some more money, I'm so close to getting enough to buy this!
wooooow that was sooo nice blinking-micro by whitera in the start of the video o-O
@Soulzityr 4 gate traditionally excludes an early twilight council
thumbs up for buying this at midnight
@jemmani22 Yea, I watched how he microd the stalkers with the blink and how he used them and it is only above average, Im a platinum player and even MY micro is better. What makes Whitera good is that he isn't scared of trying extreme things, going behind the natural and so on.
@Petersaberros that would be a human drinking some from of liquid.
Im in love with masq. Hes my favorite.
ONLY 1 DAY 'TIL THIS GAME COMES OUT, YAYYAA WOOOHOOOO
i dont even pay computer games at the moment, but i love to watch these replays. its like football. but i dont watch football either. ^^
@lassek85 Ahhh ok, I was really just trying to get across that whitera has been splitting wrong this whole time, and honestly I can go on to say 2x3 does take more micro and thus causes you to build your first probe slower, but I do understand that 5x1 has a disadvantage that 2x3 gives, where probes do get to the minerals faster, but the thing is when you 5x1 you get enough minerals to build a second probe before the first ones done, thus making it the easiest/most efficient way to split.

Keep on keeping on HD
his first expo was actually safer because it is easier to fend of quick voidrays
@KnightKiller1000 lol this is completely not what we were talking about; we are talking about the time of scan...which happened before the stalkers attacked lol.
TLO and Masq are my personal favorites :)
I'm gonna get my copy in 3 days can't wait !!!
good casts boys, really enjoy them :)
@ConMusician They were, of course the beat is closed now, im sure there will be more tournaments nearly as soon as the game is released in full.
"HE MIGHT GO FOR BLINK STALKERS" dude you already saw it...
I wanna see Masq vs TLO, that would be the coolest matchup EVER, with the two more inventive players on SC2
whiteRa is prbly a reference to the best toss player of all time, Nal_rA
@AVangarDIsrael Likely a spin on the "H to the usky Husky".
@ceebass he was hoping not to lose any of those stalkers, he was a little sloppy. His thouht might have been"i'll try to save this army instead if blinking it into a sure death at the line"
The difference of losing all the stalkers vs only taking out a few SCVs isn't very enticing,considering Masq already had his exp up. What YOU were talking about would have been sacrifice,suicide. White-ra made the right play, he also gaine dintel on masq's base. Derp.
at the end of the video, you do kind of wonder what is HD going to say: "He does have shi...*cut off*
@TheFabianpm idk zerg is gonna be focused on the first expansion heart of the swarm
@sirmousalot11 Husky would have a constant nerdgasm through that whole event.
this commentator is just epic...nice vid
Holy crap, you and Husky each have more subs than MLG. Gratz!
@Soulzityr
Masq already knows that there is a Twilight Council cuz of the Stalkers Blinking... You can know these things by the actions of the units doing it...
I want more of DeMuslim :'( only seen like 1 replay btw Husky and HD and he gave WhiteRa a woopin!
That Masq guy is awesome! Great Terran player
i dont understand why masq would not suspect a tucked away twilight council after scanning and seeing 4 gates, 2 of them warp...
masq , masq , masq !!!
Thank you HD !!! :)))
woo....! cast more masq vids HD! :D
suggestions for new catchphrases:
- Here comes H-Dee with the com-en-tar-eeeeee
- Welcome to HD TEE VEE!
- or just: hey guys, this is HD lol
Masq definately making a name for himself
@Kaelsyd yessssss!!!!! more demuslim!!!
and more masq of course!!!!!! wtb masq and demuslim in HDH #2
@TheFabianpm there is one mission where you use zeratul only
the only protss misson maybe
@Markurn i agree with u but its better if HD mix both of those together, he does mention alot about what the players are doing tho
@Verd254
Hydra with range upgrades and speed lings.
I am confused as to why a blink squade of stalkers would be breaking rocks when they are the only ones able to jump up and down at the time.
Ace Ventura on the mic?
ALLLLL RIGHTY THEN
Best sc2 match so far
man we need to wait a lot fr just one tiny bit of awesome (zerg expansion) and im not crazy about protoss
It would be really helpful to have a TvZ or TvT or ZvP etc... on the video titles. Many people want to watch games between specific race.
@graog123 oh i see. thanks :). well i guess that makes sense, but whitera loves those blinks, and loves to hide, so i think masq would still expect it.
@Kanthalas same!
@dalonelybaptist i think its easiest to be average with toss, terran & zerg seem to have alot more options.
I'm 318th and HD will arrive shortly, its just how youtube converts.
@lassek85 Its inefficent, and its not really micro heavy as its just kinda slowing down how fast you can make a probe and continue to build the second probe, it takes extra time to split the probes and even more time as it gives you minerals slightly slower, iv seen just doing 5x1 and 2x3 and 2x3 is like 2-5 seconds worse depending on how fast you do it, but its never better, thats what I am trying to say.
@TheFabianpm Nope. No 3rd party speaking program can be connected to SC2. They can however run in the background.
ring around the rosie
@torm0
Must've been a Zerg unit in HD's room then!!! xDDD
@Petersaberros He was taking a drink. Does it every cast -_-
YaY more Masq and Whitera is a cool guy too, at least he dont rage quit or rant >.
Last time I saw whitera play was when he got owned by TLO
i think we should see whitera try zerg
wow hes rly good at scouting
It seems like Whitera's harass was more showy than it was productive. At 6:18, why does he blink BACK and then dance to the other entrance, get snared up at 7:02 and force the front door?

In a day 75k views???
Wow^^ Respect.
@MzS7 he was telling us to shush in the middle of his sentence
More stalking blinkers please!
I wanna see more PvP, TvT, ZvZ...
Masq is the epic chatter.
@blgdinger3 I think you miss my slight tongue in cheek... a lot of people don't when I use caps like that... should have added a smiley face or something.
