@Senior Pug He was on the fronts lines in battle against them and even sided with the Protoss against the Zerg many times. Course he knows more than the experts.
Did you know that in Star Trek the next-generation the Borg were meant to be an insectoid race but due to budget constraints they were made into a cybernetic alien race I think The Zerg are what the Borg were meant to be
"Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me." I miss you, Overmind, you were so much more badass than grandmas queens and Kerrigan...
+Rafael Lopez It wasn't a complete waste of time, it whole de-infestation plot freed her from amon's influence. Otherwise she would've been a slave when amon returned just like the overmind was
The zerg can produce units at an incredibly fast rate and if your army falls in one battle you can just build another one in seconds, way before your opponent can rebuilt hes own, as long as you got the resourses.
I love this overview. I wish they updated each one with Swarm's and Void's new units. The Starship Troopers style of the Zerg was the reason I traded the boring Battlefield 1942 with OG Starcraft way back in 1998!
As a basic run down: The Protoss have few, expensive, powerful units with lots of special abilities. Protoss need to rely on conservative tactics: actively avoiding losses, relying on terrain etc. The Zerg use vast numbers of cheap, disposable units. Zerg need to rely on stealth and subterfuge. Try both, and Terran too. The differences between all three factions are too long to list. Until you try out each one yourself, you'll never know which one you're suited to.
My uncle Amrik Khella was so cool. He showed me Starcraft, world of Warcraft, and Diablo. What a fun guy he is... too bad he stopped talking to me. Thanks for the fun.
I always wonder if the carapace armor that the Zergs have is enough to protect them from solar radiation, especially when they venture into outer space to invade other planets. I think Blizzard should explain that :)
I Love Corruptor. Armored air vs Phoenix (although I switched to Protoss), destroys Collosus,observers, Ravens etc. Can morph into Broodlord and become almost invincible + beautiful design.
not quite as big, and the zerg more adapt pre-existing biological lifeforms to serve as troops rather than create whole new lifeforms marly based of pre-existing DNA. for example for the Tyranids created the Zoanthrope out of Eldar DNA to act as living phonic siege weapon. where as if the zerg where to get their claws on some eldar, they would repurpose their form and being into something else. perhaps some kind of very fast and agile phonic support form. maybe as some sort of commando lifeform. something that can strike and fast while sowing confusion through enemy ranks with mental powers or attacks. a more mobile version of a queen perhaps. also zerg are purely organic as apposed to tech-no organic. and also they tend to ack in both their biology and function more like a bacteria or virus. also also they have a far quicker and more resilient regeneration
Another thing is that these are put together to highlight where each unit shines. If you watch the Terran and Protoss ones, you'll see them ripping their way through armies.
Buuulllshit, corruptors were taking out bc's in like 10 volleys. PEOPLE NEW TO SC, srs Corruptors are the fucking worst, most inefficient unit ever in starcraft's entire history.
the great thing about them is that they can out mass any army but they die very fast and zergs has the most casualties then any other (takes one drone just to make a building) and unlike the other races they can only spawn by one building the hive thats a building to start with and where minerals are collected, making other buildings just unlocks more to spawn at the hives
@FierceLegoLink I agree that Zerg is a hard race to play because it is very macro heavy, You have to make sure you keep up your drone count, replacing drones you use to make buildings, make sure you keep your queen pumping out larva, and keep up with creep spread, all the while producing units to defend/attack.
Ah, yes. Forgot about the creep tumour. Although I've never seen a player building a Queen specifically for laying tumours. Players always (at least that's what I've seen) use the Queens that are placed next to the Hive in order to provide a booster for larva spawning. From time to time when there is no need of this, a player would send a Queen to place a creep tumour somewhere. All I'm saying it would make it much more realistic as to the nature of the Zerg. :)
@343TheSentient or actual locusts... which are pretty accurate parallel. Swarm in absolutely innumerable numbers, consume everything in an instant, and spread.
At a certain point - yes. But not for long. A hive has a single Queen, a few males and plenty of workers. Additional queens move to other places to expand and build new hives. Populations of two nests/hives (made by queens born from the same mother bee) will attack each other if necessary. So practically there is only one Uberleader (talking Wolfenstein-style here ;P) of the whole nest.
@Nightbaron61 The overlord was from the spacefaring creature called the gigantus proximae. You can look that part up. Those GP live in space. starcraft2 starcraft.wikia
@rusher38 Thats because Starcraft was originally a Warhammer 40k adaptation, but Blizzard and Games Workshop fell out before it was finished. I actually believe Blizzard still pays royalties to Games Workshop for using marines (which were obviously going to be space marines). I could be wrong about that though.
In the early years of Star Trek the next generation The Borg were meant to be an insect-like Race but due to budget constraints they were change into humanoid cyborgs at the last minute but I had a feeling if they had a budget they would be something like this!!!!
"they can kill a marine faster than he can empty his gauss rifle"
Yeah, he never does...
Ariel Hanson: "You know more about the Protoss and Zerg than any of experts i have read about Jim"
Depthcharger44 Jim Raynor knows more about starcraft then the game developera
@Senior Pug He was on the fronts lines in battle against them and even sided with the Protoss against the Zerg many times. Course he knows more than the experts.
Zerg are my favorite alien species
Did you know that in Star Trek the next-generation the Borg were meant to be an insectoid race but due to budget constraints they were made into a cybernetic alien race I think The Zerg are what the Borg were meant to be
interesting
Would've thought it was the Orks lol
Orks are a close second only because the zerg evolve so fast and could possibly absorb the orks and make them a cast of zerg
The zerg Swarm will infested Orks :)
"Awaken my child, and embrace the glory that is your birthright. Know that I am the Overmind; the eternal will of the Swarm, and that you have been created to serve me."

I like Zagara and the Overmind was realy cool
If they are not turn her into human again she will be infested by Amon ! Only with the power of Primal Zerg can help her against Amon infested !
Too bad Blizzard removed that player character concept. I loved the way SC1 involved you in the story.
overmind dead woohoo

Wait didn't the Zerg win at the end of Starcraft 2.
The zerg can produce units at an incredibly fast rate and if your army falls in one battle you can just build another one in seconds, way before your opponent can rebuilt hes own, as long as you got the resourses.
I like how you guys made Raynor narrate it !
In Polish version Matt is narrator
I love this overview. I wish they updated each one with Swarm's and Void's new units.
The Starship Troopers style of the Zerg was the reason I traded the boring Battlefield 1942 with OG Starcraft
way back in 1998!
Battlefield 1942 was published in 2002.
@@antoniousai1989 so boring it felt like came out in 1998.
😋
Anyone else getting Goosebumbs as soon as those Ultralisks appear? :D
Marco Pfefferl üzere iki gün Q ü
Forget the ultralisks. Wait till the leviathans and omegalisks get here. THEN you're in trouble.
Heeyyyoooo
Zergs are awesome
Agreed!
FOR THE SWARM!
my favorite alian is ZERG 😙
the SWARM
Chaos Gaming Live for the Swarm!

What's the Terrans like both?
I love how Jim sounds so haunted
FOR THE QUEEN!
I serve only the Queen of Blades... For the Swarm!
Who wouldn't, am I right fellas? Heh heh ;D
But in all seriousness, Zerg FTW
No, our true lord is the overmind

I still remember the times when Queens used to fly and spawn broodlings... Good ol' times!
Long live Brood War!!!
I love how they just swarm everything. *sniff* it's beautiful.
You are right...

The Ultralisks used to have an Ability called Ram. Which no longer exists in Competitive multiplayer, but it's shown in the vid.
I Love Corruptor.
Armored air vs Phoenix (although I switched to Protoss), destroys Collosus,observers, Ravens etc. Can morph into Broodlord and become almost invincible + beautiful design.
They don't have charge attack but the attack got increased a lot. From 15+2 Splash to 35+2
Anyone imagined this with the voice of Liam Neeson?
can i keap him he folowed me home please please
Yes, give him regular biomass daily.
I claim these minerals.
awesome. love that show. love starcraft, love raynor, love zerg.
I hope we have Kerrigan narrating the same sort of overviews for Heart of the Swarm. Going over the changes, new abilities and units, et cetera.
Is that Raynor's voice? ^^
yep
+Đức Tài Văn Nguyễn "An overview of the Zerg narrated by Jim Raynor."
No, it's Morgan Freeeman.
2:14 Never seen in-game
Yeah. weak players never do that and advanced players quickly counter!
Alexander Mill Its not about that. This was really stupid cause zealots didnt killed infestors instead they tried to kill colloses!
Alexander Mill I`m diamond too, maybe you could show me some replays with Infestors? Xllon#2548 (EU)
thxs 4 the vid, i was just getting started with zerg and wasnt sure enough of how they work...
Zerg are one of many of my favourite alien races
did he say xenomorphs at 0:15
yes he did. but xenomorph just means alien form.
2:26 why is the probe attacking the zealot
changling?
Changelings dont attack.
Oh yeah the Zerg was my favorite race since I started playing Starcraft I.
I just realises how cool zerg is
So Tyranids basically..
yup
Zerg ripped off Tyranids
Jack Of No Trades yeah but way weaker.
not quite as big, and the zerg more adapt pre-existing biological lifeforms to serve as troops rather than create whole new lifeforms marly based of pre-existing DNA. for example for the Tyranids created the Zoanthrope out of Eldar DNA to act as living phonic siege weapon. where as if the zerg where to get their claws on some eldar, they would repurpose their form and being into something else. perhaps some kind of very fast and agile phonic support form. maybe as some sort of commando lifeform. something that can strike and fast while sowing confusion through enemy ranks with mental powers or attacks. a more mobile version of a queen perhaps. also zerg are purely organic as apposed to tech-no organic. and also they tend to ack in both their biology and function more like a bacteria or virus. also also they have a far quicker and more resilient regeneration

Great Artwork
Space marines would crush the zerg
That is hardly fair, WH 40K crushes nearly everything.
Buuulllshit, corruptors were taking out bc's in like 10 volleys.
PEOPLE NEW TO SC, srs Corruptors are the fucking worst, most inefficient unit ever in starcraft's entire history.
Not true
That...I Don't Agree
Buzz light year would be so terrified
The Hydra rising is Just breath-taking!!
this is now my new motivational video
the great thing about them is that they can out mass any army but they die very fast and zergs has the most casualties then any other (takes one drone just to make a building) and unlike the other races they can only spawn by one building the hive thats a building to start with and where minerals are collected, making other buildings just unlocks more to spawn at the hives
Zerg master race, they're THE reason I am buying (not bought yet) StarCraft 2 for.
i missed you starcraft D: yay
SC 2 shows how visceral they are there the best looking Faction.
didnt knew that,. thanks for the info.
AWESOME!!
thank you for the upload, blizzard :)
woooot!!! jim raynor!
i like how they max upgrades on the featured race
Zerg
first time i saw this i wasnt sure it was jim but then he said someone i knew someone i cared about and im like yep thats jim

"where the facts, >>sunglasses onnnn
Zerg is one of the most hardest races to ever master

this didn't age well
My heart for the swarm
Funny thing is I always like playing the Zerg,
thanks, you are right
@343TheSentient or actual locusts... which are pretty accurate parallel. Swarm in absolutely innumerable numbers, consume everything in an instant, and spread.
no doubt the most important unit to a good defense and good economy
well you get queens used for creep spread. so an additional queen from a hive is kind of needed for creep
"Goes by the name - queen of Norway"
Nice.
@whatehell0 that would be awesome, and Zeratul/Tassadar for the 3rd one
@TheXeno2000 if you look at the air between the hydras and their target you can see the spines flying.
Very inspiring vid... for a Zerg player like me. :)
@Nightbaron61 They can use a more simple method of propulsion. The high pressure release of gas should do it.
They need to make a Starcraft full-feature movie.
Transcribe audio is funny as hell in this vid. Goes to the name...QUEEN OF NORWAY.
Raynor sounds like the narrator for Ancient Aliens on History Channel
@Fl4m30f3d3n that is when you change the zerglings into banelings and steamroll those light armored infantry units.
He is... he does that narration for it.
I'm a toss-player but i love the zergs, with low graphics they are so cuddly xD
At a certain point - yes. But not for long. A hive has a single Queen, a few males and plenty of workers. Additional queens move to other places to expand and build new hives. Populations of two nests/hives (made by queens born from the same mother bee) will attack each other if necessary. So practically there is only one Uberleader (talking Wolfenstein-style here ;P) of the whole nest.
totally!
the game would kick ass, even more than what it does now.
0:50 I cant bileve Raynor didnt get all emotional at that point LOL
@Nightbaron61 The overlord was from the spacefaring creature called the gigantus proximae. You can look that part up. Those GP live in space.

I love how most space games have the swarming faction: Starcraft - Zerg, Warhammer - Tyranid (much creepier then zerg), Halo - flood
@rusher38 Thats because Starcraft was originally a Warhammer 40k adaptation, but Blizzard and Games Workshop fell out before it was finished. I actually believe Blizzard still pays royalties to Games Workshop for using marines (which were obviously going to be space marines). I could be wrong about that though.
@ZergSwarmling mass air pwns the army you suggest, especially the extra damage voids do to massive units.
nice paintings
If you think about the SC1 Zerg quest the overmind talks about warping.
I think that even the Daleks would be rendered helpless against the Zerg.
the daleks would be overwhelmed by the sheer number of zergs
That is true. Zerg are huge and can reproduce at VERY fast rates.
Elijah Kelley the daleks would kill 1 for every 100 that spawn. unless the dalek empire fights. because the dalek empire is 4.5 BILLION daleks
i would love to see a battle between tyranids and zerg
Yes,but you need to finish a mission first and then check the evolution pit,click the ultralisk,click burrow charge
"For the Swarm!"
In the early years of Star Trek the next generation The Borg were meant to be an insect-like Race but due to budget constraints they were change into humanoid cyborgs at the last minute but I had a feeling if they had a budget they would be something like this!!!!
Raynor's voice, oh man
0:42 makes for a good wallpaper
@FinTheDew they are for DPS. you need roaches as meat shield/ tanks
the protoss are divided among eachother and they did fight together on many occasion against the zergs
@SouthbobParkpants Maybe Heart of the Swarm will have Kerrigan do all the overviews as well
the caption's gettinb better... still some fun to be had with it.
Ah yes, Hydralisks, everybody uses those!
00:59 for the overview of units
If you're good with the zerg, you're almost unstoppable.
For the most part, the races balance eachother out
