I actually got an insight from cinematic at the end of the video. So, Overmind possess enough psychic power to open Warp Rifts for the Swarm. That means, they can cover huge distances very quickly (how fast they've taken over Tarsonis, Antiga Prime etc.) *Spoiler* I wonder, does Kerrigan had such powers herself when she was the ruler of the Swarm? (I guess - no, that's why she ordered the evolution of Leviathans)
A W After SC:BW events Kerrigan ordered Abathur to create a reliable vessel for space traveling, I think. Leviathans seems to be evolved from completely different, maybe unknown, strain, but considering their sheer size and functionality he had applied a ton of efforts into it, I suppose.
A W They were large creatures that were capable of surviving the harsh environment of space, so Kerrigan assimilated them into the Swarm and repurposed them as space vessels.
Jesus, no, space-faring creatures in the Swarm already existed WAAAAAAY before Kerrigan, the behemoths, that's exactly how the Zerg escaped Zerus, attacked the xel'naga worldships, and travelled across the galaxy... Kerrigan DIDN'T ORDER ANYTHING ABOUT IT, in any case the Leviathans MAY be an evolution over the behemoths because they are bigger and can create rifts, but both existed simultaneously as both were present during the Invasion of Aiur, so she didn't made them either...
Useful note if put a rally point from your hives onto the nydus any units created will automatically go to them and move through them to the exit and you can even chain the exit of one nydus to the entrance to another. Also a short Sc1 law if your interested, the overmind was created by the xel naga in response to their failure with the protoss in their search for purity of form which they felt had been sullied by conflict of essence, hence the overmind was created to be a semi sentient being to represent the primary drives and instincts of all the zerg, but developed personally and intelligence. It later lured space fairing creatures to zerus and after consuming them into the swam, took to the stars to continue its quest for the evolution of the swam at which point it learnt of the xel naga in orbit of zerus and broke its psi link with them to hide its self from the xel naga before attacking and overwhelming them at which point it learnt of the protoss and set out from burning lifeless world of zerus to consume them and add their power to that of the swam laying waste to every planet in their path, all the while searching for a way to counter the protoss's psionic abilities the zerg found humans and their psionic potential and so the overmind sort to add this to the swam which brings us more or less up to date with story so far (as is printed in the sc1 manual by Blizzard entertainment 1998 "Zerg History")
19:50 if you look at the protoss colors, you'll see that the base you just destroyed was blue and the rest were teal. The only the blue one was a dark templar base that you had to destroy; the rest were some other protoss.
I love the SC: Remastered content. Please upload it more frequently and make the episodes longer :D I could spend the whole day watching this series. You are the best Lowko!
I love the content as well, but the day or two in between episodes always has me excited and looking forward to the days a new episode will be uploaded. It's the perfect pace, IMO
I love how vulnerable your hero characters are in missions in SC1, much more realistic and makes you more cautious. In SC2 the only way you're gonna lose your heroes is playing on brutal during campaign, and even then it's a stretch
Jay Taplin When do you ever use heroes in macro missions in sc2? There's HotS, but kerrigan revives in every. Single. One. Micro missions in sc2 are also super rare. In WoL, there's the 1st mission, the secret mission on the space platform, and the alternative mission on char. In HotS, there's the Protoss infiltration one, the primal Zerg and the prison ship one In LotV, there's the temple of unification and the aiur infiltration mission. So basically you only get a hero once every 10 missions. Vs sc1 and BW, where you get a hero every other mission
Mainly mutas, guardians, and hydras. Took me 45 minutes to beat this one mission. I envy how Lowko deals with failure or a bad engagement. We are so use to autosaving, I can't believe he doesn't loose his cool, unless he edits it out lol! Naw For reals, Lowko seams like a really cool person!
I love how Lowko is just like ,,Wait what are these beacons for?" It was 1997 dude, they are just like markers-hey here is the important shit...defend it :D Or like teleporters...simply stuff that didnt have a model became a beacon :D Edit: Also Lowko forgot that Kerrigan can use Psionic Storm :D Also the way to deal with Reavers is...go air :D atleast thats the only way for Zerg...those damn Reavers (nicknamed Caterpillars by my sister) deal so much damage to clustered Zerg units its insane.
Funny because thats exactly how i call reavers too :D i love these caterpillars of doom! They look kind of funny, sound cute and absoluty BUTCHER everything you throw at them!
Everyone hates reavers in the campaign. Even inexperienced toss players. If you're vs reavers, they will murder everything you have. If you use them, they'll drain all your minerals on single zerglings
Thats why you throw air units at them AND use them for big units/buildings. They are basically siege tanks that you have constantly resupplied. I learned that pretty fast (i played the protoss early on so i learned that quick)
I'm only at 15:57, but a better unit composition for this one would of been Guardians for taking down those bases, specifically to render the Reavers useless. This is how I approached this mission and a single control group of Guardians and a control group of Mutalisks have been enough to take down all the bases. Nice video regardless, glad you're still uploading great content :) Have a nice week.
Lowko, in case if you don't notice, reavers were basically Collosus and Disruptors and Immortals combined. They are for the late game protoss. The only hard counter was siege tanks.
I remember when I first played this level, I lost in the first few minutes. I wasn't watching one of the escape points so a Dark Templar slipped right past it.
How to fight an amazing unit that does crazy damage to ground units, but it cant shoot up. I wonder how to handle this? Maybe use air units? Nah, just build more and more ground units... :(
Seeing those unprotected beacons was a bit nerve-wracking. I was constantly expecting a sudden defeat, because I'm not sure the Dark Templar have to be warped in at the bases...
its been so many years since i played SC. the remastered certainly looks great. Reaver is a pain for ground units so our best friend for reavers are guardians/mutas :D
regarding Reavers: From experience I can tell you that no land force in the game except siege tanks in siege mode (due to their superior range) can deal with a large mass of Reavers. However, Reavers are expensive, and eat minerals like small children eat candy. The 'easy' solution for them is to use air units (Guardians are particularly good at it for Zerg).
I thought you were playing 2 missions an episode? Nooooo!!! Lowko pleasse! either a mission a day, or multiple missions an episode every other day. As it is, every 3 days is agonizing.
Ways to deal with reavers: 1) Attack with air units. 2) Bait out the scarabs with single zerglings. 3) Swarm them with cracklings. A bunch will get killed by scarabs but an entire control group of lings is cheaper than the reaver.
Scourge? Pretty sure it's Scourge. Seriously tho, it kinda makes no sense that they can't latch on to ground units and buildings. It does from the balance point of view because otherwize air zerg would be the only playable race in the game unless countered by super-early cheese, but it's still kinda sad that they're restricted to air.
snopphaka I'd say it does. Against ground they're, like, a marine and a half together with more health. Hydras also do have their reinforced carapace since they're a 2nd line assault unit. After all they're _scouts,_ not proper combat units, they're not even supposed to attack ground army, they're supposed to make use of their speed and only engage single pursuers(hence the reasonable AA on this thing).
1:52 "We know very little about him" I wonder if Lowko has read the original Starcraft manual; it includes the very core info about SC universe, including history of the Zerg & Overmind. You can view & download the manual here: ftp.blizzard.com/pub/misc/StarCraft.PDF
Yes, until people learned to build defense adjacent to their mineral patch. But yes, that was very effective. Good for the 5 min game, until people learned how to stop it. I had friends who told my I couldn't play Protoss in multi because I used Reaver Drops on them so effectively.
Ultralisk upgrades (armour and speed) are BW only. I know there's a goliath range upgrade too, in BW. Don't think Protoss get any upgrades for pre-BW units though.
As kid, I mostly used single strategy for each race: Terran, mass cloaked Wraith. Occassionnally I'd get bored, and use mass Battlecruiser. Zerg, mass Mutalisk. If bored, mass more Mutalisk. Protoss: Mass Dragoon into mass Carrier.
Like Siege Tanks, Reaver's can't effectively target units that are adjacent to them, so target rushing them with Zergling's or better yet Ultralisk's are the best way to go at them (with groudn troops). The problem with Using Zergling's is that Reaver's have a long range, and their scarabs are seeking so even as the Zergling's move, the scarab follows them and kills them in large groups 'cause that splash damage is nasty. Ultra's though can take a couple of hits before they die so they will reach the Reaver's. Of course, Muta's are also a good option as Reavers can't fire up. When I first tarted playing SC1, I crushed my friends in multi by rushing Reaver-Drop Ships and dropping 2 Reavers in their mineral patch. I'd wipe out all their SCV/Drone/Probes before they could get their troops back to their base. Once my friends learned to build air defense adjacent to their mineral patch I had to find a different approach, but that was THE early Protoss 5 min strategy.
The Protoss at the top left is more of an outpost than a proper base, I'd say; they have no Nexus for instance. Hence why you don't have to destroy them.
You don't know how to engage Reavers? Can't you make a Spire 2 control groups of Guardians clean up the entire map easy, later combining them whit some Devolvers would be a pretty strong unit composition.
The zergling contain highest DPS in SC1 try to use few ultralisks as tank and mass unit of zerglings you find it give incredible damage than mass ultralisk
Currently, I'm playing this mission on hard difficulty in Starcraft: Mass Recall. Everytime the Protoss attacks one of the positions, they send a whole bunch of Zealots, Dragoons, and Scouts, mixed with a couple DT. Not very easy compared to the normal difficulty of the mission.
Actually, you only have to destroy all the Nexus in this map to win. Kerrigan and Zeratul will play their dialogue for every Nexus destroyed. Oh, and Dark Templars in this mission spawn from the said Nexuses.
I remember finding this mission incredibly easy, back in the days. I didn't much like the Zergs so I basically cheesed my way through the campaign with mass Mutas and Guardians... Those Reavers never stood a chance. :/
But, but, the high templar, the blue Protoss has them at mass, well they start producing them later when Zeratul addresses Kerrigan that they can as well strike from the light, if rushed enough then would work I guess, but if done with slow pushes like I did with hydra/spore and stuff = could get tricky really fast :P
Lowko, just to let you know, Hero units are not standard, and hotkeys are only set for standard units. So the hotkeys for Hero units usually get overlapped with another, i.e Cloak being Z while Storm is also Z.
Before you push with Kerrigan, I was thinking, why attack with her? zergling\Ultralisk are so good also without her :) ... And after you lost her lol, anyway I love your videos Lowko. :)
Sup Lowko. I've got a nice replay of a game that I won in what I would consider an unorthodox way :P I'm in Platinium Rank and its on the Heart Of The Swarm expansion. Will you upload it anyways if I submit it to you?
Just wanted to mention that I noticed a fair decrease in the amount of useless hammering of random keys and clicks. And for that, Lowko: THANK YOU! Keep it that way mate, the constant clicking is okay (necessary, even) in multiplayer, but in the campaign it caused way too many distractions already in your previous videos. Again, thanks for hearing us out on that one. (Or, well, if it wasn't done on purpose... thanks anyways. :P)
Did you read my comment? I mentioned how necessary it was in multiplayer. And I expect that to happen in a multiplayer match, the other way around would be... well it would be unheard of for a pro player, no denying that. I'm simply thanking him for (possibly) trying to keep it down when playing a *single player campaign*. In that context and setting, clicking everywhere like a hamster on speed is annoying and unnecessary, so him going that extra mile is appreciated and deserved to be mentioned. Now maybe it's just a coincidence and he's making no effort whatsoever, but I choose to believe he's doing it on purpose.
People just love badass characters in general unless that character is doing something unbearable. Overmind, SC1 Kerrigan, SC2 alarak, and more. I would like to see how many times lowko will miss a dark Templar.
@Lowko: just a minor nitpick, but when you say that the base is saturated, it is not. This fills me with nerd rage, as you can easily put up to three drones on one patch and still see incremental increase in your income up to that point. You barely go up from one, and this is why you constantly hear that you do not have enough minerals. As a rule of thumb, if you have more gas than minerals, you're doing it wrong. Especially in vanilla, where you rarely have more than one gas per base. INB4 you're owned on the next two missions cause you do not have enough minerals.
Zeratul: "Though we strike at you from the shadows, do not think that we lack the courage to stand in the light." Meanwhile both Zeratul and Tassadar continue to hide from Kerrigan like little bitches :)
I think, they're just smart enough to not expose themselves. Plus, there's Raynor bro and his fellow comrades sticking around with them. So, no reason for another bloodbath :/
Dhurak57 Well it is proven that she is tbh. I mean she was basically born just a few episodes before. I actually love the whole cocky and fuck everything attitude she has! Also kinda unique attitude for a female lead villian to have at the time.
inb4 Kerrigan dies to scarabs. Yep,there she goes. Micro vs Reavers seems to be just "Keep the hell moving". Btw, you can see a bit of an infantile stage for Kerrigan here , what with her being edgy and pretentious. She grows up mentally over the course of the story.
Lowko. Lowko ma man. Rookies; freaking noobies hide thier heroes in the base when they must survive, what was Kerrigan doing inside a Protoss base full of Rivers? xD
3:10 "So far I'm not seeing a single dark templar yet" - That's how you know they're doing their job right
Gabi2gabi3 i get it lol
Good one.
If you can see the dark templar, they have failed already. :D
The famous assassins are never the best assassins.
When you sent Kerrigan back in after you lost your entire army to reavers I just knew what would happen next :D.
There is a lot of lore about overmind and everything else in Starcraft Manual. I reccomend reading it. It's great.
1:50 - Lowko is such an Overmind's fanlarva.. :D
"Reavers are terrifying" - Lowko, 2017
"They try to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back" - Malcolm Reynolds, 2517
tybofborg is that a Firefly reference?
Agent Orange No it ain't, you gorram purple belly. ;)
God damn glorious
Agent Orange "Anybody gets too nosy, just uhh... shoot 'em."
"Shoot 'em, sir?"
"Politely"
I actually got an insight from cinematic at the end of the video. So, Overmind possess enough psychic power to open Warp Rifts for the Swarm. That means, they can cover huge distances very quickly (how fast they've taken over Tarsonis, Antiga Prime etc.)

waaayyy better than that prophesy nonsense in sc2.
16:04 Top 10 brutal anime deaths. Quality content as always Lowko :P
wait so he decloaked her lul, was wondering if the Protoss had an obs
VArsovski10 the decloak was accidental, due to his hotkeys.
19:50 if you look at the protoss colors, you'll see that the base you just destroyed was blue and the rest were teal. The only the blue one was a dark templar base that you had to destroy; the rest were some other protoss.

*Kerrigan uncloaks*
*Lowko move his screen up, unable to see the reaver behind her*
RIP Kerrigan. XD
Lowko, in case if you don't notice, reavers were basically Collosus and Disruptors and Immortals combined. They are for the late game protoss. The only hard counter was siege tanks.
I remember when I first played this level, I lost in the first few minutes. I wasn't watching one of the escape points so a Dark Templar slipped right past it.
This conversation between the cerebrate, and over mind looks like a family gathering
How to fight an amazing unit that does crazy damage to ground units, but it cant shoot up. I wonder how to handle this? Maybe use air units? Nah, just build more and more ground units... :(
I was waiting for a second lose where a single dark templar goes out the unprotected area xD (thats how I lost 4 times in that map :( )
On my playtrhou I just put some zergling\hidra\ overlods on each becon meanwhile push with another force... + exp etc was pretty easy :)
The problem with me is that I hate to lose units, I remember that in that map I won using sunkey colony rush xD
i lost like that a lot at the beginning... without understanding what was happening
+ibm5155 nice strategy :)
I'm at 3 losses for that exact reason, am not looking foward to the 4th :(
Seeing those unprotected beacons was a bit nerve-wracking. I was constantly expecting a sudden defeat, because I'm not sure the Dark Templar have to be warped in at the bases...
its been so many years since i played SC. the remastered certainly looks great. Reaver is a pain for ground units so our best friend for reavers are guardians/mutas :D

As it is, every 3 days is agonizing.
AtrumDelorox We can't really force him if he doesn't feel like playing SC:R campaign.
Wait so why did Lowko decide not to use mutas? 😂
he saw ultras and forgot asbout everything else)
I go full air and guardian everything. Only some mutas for defense.
Ways to deal with reavers:
1) Attack with air units.
2) Bait out the scarabs with single zerglings.
3) Swarm them with cracklings. A bunch will get killed by scarabs but an entire control group of lings is cheaper than the reaver.
Lowko only one thing from me you are FREAKING AWESOOME
The easiest way to deal with reavers.. Aerial units.. and you know what aerial unit I'm talking about.
Scourge? Pretty sure it's Scourge.
Seriously tho, it kinda makes no sense that they can't latch on to ground units and buildings. It does from the balance point of view because otherwize air zerg would be the only playable race in the game unless countered by super-early cheese, but it's still kinda sad that they're restricted to air.
snopphaka I'd say it does. Against ground they're, like, a marine and a half together with more health. Hydras also do have their reinforced carapace since they're a 2nd line assault unit. After all they're _scouts,_ not proper combat units, they're not even supposed to attack ground army, they're supposed to make use of their speed and only engage single pursuers(hence the reasonable AA on this thing).
1:52 "We know very little about him"
I wonder if Lowko has read the original Starcraft manual; it includes the very core info about SC universe, including history of the Zerg & Overmind. You can view & download the manual here:
ftp.blizzard.com/pub/misc/StarCraft.PDF
Reaver drops into mineral lines were a sc1 game winner... Lol
Yes, until people learned to build defense adjacent to their mineral patch. But yes, that was very effective. Good for the 5 min game, until people learned how to stop it. I had friends who told my I couldn't play Protoss in multi because I used Reaver Drops on them so effectively.
17:05 storm doesnt damage buildings :3
Ultralisk upgrades (armour and speed) are BW only. I know there's a goliath range upgrade too, in BW. Don't think Protoss get any upgrades for pre-BW units though.
As kid, I mostly used single strategy for each race:
Terran, mass cloaked Wraith. Occassionnally I'd get bored, and use mass Battlecruiser.
Zerg, mass Mutalisk. If bored, mass more Mutalisk.
Protoss: Mass Dragoon into mass Carrier.
Like Siege Tanks, Reaver's can't effectively target units that are adjacent to them, so target rushing them with Zergling's or better yet Ultralisk's are the best way to go at them (with groudn troops). The problem with Using Zergling's is that Reaver's have a long range, and their scarabs are seeking so even as the Zergling's move, the scarab follows them and kills them in large groups 'cause that splash damage is nasty.

"Ultras do take about 4 and a half years to produce!" Haha! Love it!
The Protoss at the top left is more of an outpost than a proper base, I'd say; they have no Nexus for instance. Hence why you don't have to destroy them.
I was using separated group of guardians/mutas just to hunt down reavers, when they were killed, ultralisks marched in.
For the time being, I shall enjoy this excellent video. Cheers Lowko, bring back the Ladder replays! :P
On the 2nd try, while some of the paths weren't covered, I was just waiting to see "A Dark Templar has escaped." and a fail.
Can anyone please tell me what happened to the liberator upgrade "advanced ballistics"?
This is the first Zerg mission I failed to complete 20 years ago, it made me look up the cheat codes, so I at least could contenue the story.
Went with 12 guardians and mutalisk and Zerglings for left-over minerals, worked out this time.
You don't know how to engage Reavers? Can't you make a Spire 2 control groups of Guardians clean up the entire map easy, later combining them whit some Devolvers would be a pretty strong unit composition.
The zergling contain highest DPS in SC1 try to use few ultralisks as tank and mass unit of zerglings you find it give incredible damage than mass ultralisk
Whats with overlapping music in the first briefing?
what do you mean?
it sounds normal...
or not (just watched that moment)
Currently, I'm playing this mission on hard difficulty in Starcraft: Mass Recall. Everytime the Protoss attacks one of the positions, they send a whole bunch of Zealots, Dragoons, and Scouts, mixed with a couple DT. Not very easy compared to the normal difficulty of the mission.
Lowko I am smiling just for you buddy.
Actually, you only have to destroy all the Nexus in this map to win. Kerrigan and Zeratul will play their dialogue for every Nexus destroyed.
Oh, and Dark Templars in this mission spawn from the said Nexuses.
15:58 lol!!!! whyyyyyyy???
A beacon is just a visual sign of an important point. In this case, do not let the DT reach the beacons.
Beacons cant be killed/destroyed
if ground attacks are ineffective, use your fliers to take reavers out. they don't stand a chance against guardians and even mutalisks.
arghhhh seeing the protoss defeated hurts so much man.... entaro zeratul!
How to deal with Reavers without Ultras?
I remember finding this mission incredibly easy, back in the days. I didn't much like the Zergs so I basically cheesed my way through the campaign with mass Mutas and Guardians... Those Reavers never stood a chance. :/
But, but, the high templar, the blue Protoss has them at mass, well they start producing them later when Zeratul addresses Kerrigan that they can as well strike from the light, if rushed enough then would work I guess, but if done with slow pushes like I did with hydra/spore and stuff = could get tricky really fast :P
Mutas and gaurdians but more so the gaurdians are what you take out reavers with. Their aoe is slower then SC2's but just as effective.
16:05 priceless face hahaha
Lowko, just to let you know, Hero units are not standard, and hotkeys are only set for standard units. So the hotkeys for Hero units usually get overlapped with another, i.e Cloak being Z while Storm is also Z.
I explained it already, but he may not read before he made this episode.
Arkontramps yeah, I kinda figured that someone would have said it before, but I kinda hoped that he would read again anyways
Love these cast lowko! NonAder :D
I'LL REMEMBER BEFORE I FORGET
12:12
if there is big amnount of ground splash damage, why did not attack them from air?
Before you push with Kerrigan, I was thinking, why attack with her? zergling\Ultralisk are so good also without her :) ... And after you lost her lol, anyway I love your videos Lowko. :)
Lovko, you're using "zerg radio" while at briefing room. It puts two different soundtracks at the same time and makes briefings less climatic.
16:06 ROFL that face
If my memory is correct, Ultralisk upgrade is in broodwar.
16:04 "Alrigh- "kerrigan exploded by reaver" " ... XD
Sup Lowko. I've got a nice replay of a game that I won in what I would consider an unorthodox way :P I'm in Platinium Rank and its on the Heart Of The Swarm expansion. Will you upload it anyways if I submit it to you?
all of your video is awsom
How to counter Reavers? Mutalisks Lowko, Mutalisks and/or Guardians.
16:13 isn't that fenix?!?
No. They just have the same color scheme the campaign uses for hero units.
no xD by that time, he was still alive, and he wasnt under Tassadar´s command, back then, he was still in Aiur, not in Char
Calm down, it was just a joke XD
Concubine of the zerg = DAMM !!
14:47 for most people game crashed at this moment if you don't skip that conversation with "Escape" button
Never happened.
meaby not that most of people and thats a rare thing but I duno
I think they fixed that in the remaster.
Just wanted to mention that I noticed a fair decrease in the amount of useless hammering of random keys and clicks.
And for that, Lowko: THANK YOU! Keep it that way mate, the constant clicking is okay (necessary, even) in multiplayer, but in the campaign it caused way too many distractions already in your previous videos.
Again, thanks for hearing us out on that one. (Or, well, if it wasn't done on purpose... thanks anyways. :P)
Did you read my comment? I mentioned how necessary it was in multiplayer. And I expect that to happen in a multiplayer match, the other way around would be... well it would be unheard of for a pro player, no denying that.
I'm simply thanking him for (possibly) trying to keep it down when playing a *single player campaign*. In that context and setting, clicking everywhere like a hamster on speed is annoying and unnecessary, so him going that extra mile is appreciated and deserved to be mentioned.
Now maybe it's just a coincidence and he's making no effort whatsoever, but I choose to believe he's doing it on purpose.
Reavers attack only ground units. Mutas or Guardians should easily take them down
I'll consider a few lings to waste their scarabs tho
People just love badass characters in general unless that character is doing something unbearable. Overmind, SC1 Kerrigan, SC2 alarak, and more.
I would like to see how many times lowko will miss a dark Templar.
@Lowko: just a minor nitpick, but when you say that the base is saturated, it is not. This fills me with nerd rage, as you can easily put up to three drones on one patch and still see incremental increase in your income up to that point. You barely go up from one, and this is why you constantly hear that you do not have enough minerals.
As a rule of thumb, if you have more gas than minerals, you're doing it wrong. Especially in vanilla, where you rarely have more than one gas per base.
INB4 you're owned on the next two missions cause you do not have enough minerals.
In SC1 Original Campaign, the Protoss one is the best.
Yeah maybe some air might help you with the reavers :P
You can’t kill zeratul, and the best way to deal with reavers is to use guardians, or mutilisks.
Zeratul: "Though we strike at you from the shadows, do not think that we lack the courage to stand in the light."
Meanwhile both Zeratul and Tassadar continue to hide from Kerrigan like little bitches :)
I think, they're just smart enough to not expose themselves. Plus, there's Raynor bro and his fellow comrades sticking around with them. So, no reason for another bloodbath :/
Pretty sure Zeratul and/or Tassadar could beat up Kerrigan, why they don't no one knows.
Hmm... Possible, but I still think sh'ed win in a straight-up confrontation.
+DrVoodoo123 's just a prank, bro, JUST A PRANK :DDD
There's bravery, then, there's stupidity.
And then there's Kerrigan of course, Queen of Teen Edge.
while sc2 artanis is cringey
sc1 kerrigan is an edgelord she sounds like a teenage girl in her emo phase
Yeah a lot of sc2 characters were fckn cringey but noone surpasses the original emo infested kerrigan !
Dhurak57 screw you invested kerrigan is a princess
She could really back up her words in Broodwar though
Dhurak57 Well it is proven that she is tbh. I mean she was basically born just a few episodes before. I actually love the whole cocky and fuck everything attitude she has! Also kinda unique attitude for a female lead villian to have at the time.
I hate how she becomes godess in sc2
Don't attack reavers with zerg ground units. Just...don't^^
best way to counter reavers is to snipe them with air units
how come and no dark templar escaped with lowko not knowing what the beacons do?..
because Blizzard nerf'd the AI for the Remaster.
ADUN TORIDAS!
No air units vs reavers? At least lift your ultras when the scarab come in.
Lol Kerrigan, talk shit get hit! That reaver exploded her ass
Lurkers didn't show up till broodwar :)
I just realized how much the graphics changed from sc1 to sc2:) They schould remake sc1 in sc2 engine. Would pay any money for it:)
That has in fact been done! Check out "mass recall."
16:03.... gg boyz ez
You can win that mission without killing any enemy bases, by the way.
inb4 Kerrigan dies to scarabs. Yep,there she goes. Micro vs Reavers seems to be just "Keep the hell moving".
Btw, you can see a bit of an infantile stage for Kerrigan here , what with her being edgy and pretentious. She grows up mentally over the course of the story.
im gonna play this 2day in sc mass recall
Lowko.
Lowko ma man.
Rookies; freaking noobies hide thier heroes in the base when they must survive, what was Kerrigan doing inside a Protoss base full of Rivers? xD
Uhhh Reavers can't shoot air, so just use Mutas?????...
hey, Lowko, have you been demonetized??
MARCH OF THE REAVERS! :D that was funny :p
His accent's like mixed between American n' British, is he Aussie? or Dutch?
Dutch.
reavers? dts? certainly not going skyzerg ;)
GET REKT 16:03
Omg this is worse then Game of Thrones ! We need the next episode !
