Two extreme forms of completing RTS campaigns. Speed running (sacrifice anything for the clock), or keep all your units alive challenge (take as long as you need).
Raynor, having somehow lived through thousands of timelines where his revolution is met with varying degrees of success, has mastered all known possible art of being a commander, memorized down all events that might happen, and has had enough shit with Kerrigan.
The bridge in A Sinister Turn extends either at a certain time (3:30?) or when 5 units are produced - and it counts units the AI makes, so it trips early because you used the DTs to kill a bunch of Tal'darim in the right base and then the AI replaced them, setting off the trigger. I figured this from copying the strategy from the 'hard difficulty without producing units' speedrun on youtube for the 'Hurry up it's raid night' achievement and because the Zeratul missions are kinda shit so I like to just get them out of the way ASAP.
Also compared to regular runs of the play which involve sending huge armies to die in battle, he still only makes the minimal troop investment to guarante the fastest victory
you're gonna be in for a treat though. Grant has been doing a "community challenge run" of wings of liberty and twitch chat is not kind. The rules are as follows: Every story arch twitch chat gets to ban 2 units ( except for the 1st arch which only has 1 unit ban) Twitch chat chooses Grant's research and mission order every mission, twitch chat comes up with and votes on some sort of challenge. this can be anything, and is only limited bytwitch chat's willingness to watch the same stupid mission for 2 hours (outbreak, moving out only at night, with hellions, hellbats and medics is not easy)

Managed to obtain the speedrunning achievement of Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty in under 8 hours, your video helped a lot, thank you for your work. Keeping up the great work, have a nice day
Dude, this is really cool, even though I'm from another country, I can understand you and calmly watch your videos without straining. It also helps to improve my English. you deserve a like. And you play great.
This was fun, I found you on the WoL deathless run, and I have enjoyed all your stuff since then. I generally enjoy analyzed speed runs like this if you decide you want to do more, it is hardly the only option however.
Thanks for making these awesome SC2 videos. It's one of my favorite games and I enjoy your explanations of why/how things work instead of just showing us a speedrun with no commentary.
Fun facts since this video -- RedRyder (the other 5.0 run on that list, at 10th place) did a run a month later and jumped to 4th ('bout a minute and a half slower than GGG's time), and the month after that, ZPR (second place in this video) secured a faster time than Probe, securing first place. And GGG's still got third. And I... would be fighting a lot of people for 24th (aka not on the list) with my composite fastest times because I don't do speedruns, XD
And here we are, March of 2022. Since the video, they've moved to IGT (in-game time) times for Normal any%, GGG's now 6th, Probe and ZPR have both done runs and are second and third, and user Bloody is now first. User 'MasterMaul' is 4th, and 'blindseis' is 5th. WR is 1:34:55 IGT, 1:44:24 real time.
I remember both watching this the day it went live, and feeling super proud of myself for getting the "Hurry up, it's raid night" achievement way back before HotS was released lol
Whoa Probe is actually the first here that's unecpected if you guys don't know him he is a pro player / a nice Protoss streamer. Congratulation for the run, this is a really well made video !
I have a suggestion for a challenge, wings of liberty on brutal without buying anything. A joke could be needing beer money, or the TV at the begginning costing more than expected.

Your stuff is really neat, helped me wings of liberty on hard
Actually, 21 minutes, 25 and five sevenths seconds exactly. (Assuming the 1.4x speed and 30 minutes base time are both exact.)
Zero hour is skippable; if you clear the enemy bases the level ends.

Looking forward to more speed runs. It's one of my favorite hobbies to watch.

Also Grant "I try to avoid loses, but its inevitable"
"Jim Raynor's army on cocaine" should be the name of this run
Stimpacks for everyone!
... this is just kinda how Terran work by default?
Wow Man ! That was amazing
that's really impressive, especially for it being a very early try. Great work!

Dude I was looking for a speedrun for the last few days, this is beyond Google listening to me, you felt mt heart. Yeeeeeees
I remember that I finished the Moebius mission pretty quickly cuz I had the Hercules reaserched so I just flew it with my army to all objectives :D
Congratulations for the charity action and the awesome run ! Good continuation !
Man your content is so Pog, I'ts such a shame these aren't coming out faster
This run was so amazing to see it happen live :D
Thank you Grant! I got that Pesky achievement "hurry up it's raid night" by watching your video for tips to shave off my times.
Congratulations man, i'm very happy for you.
Thought i was watching a normal challenge run. End up watching a top 3 world speedrun. GG well played.
it would be nice to do a "KILL EVERYTHING RUN"
Also, Congratulations for being the third
