Epic Starcraft 2 Battle: Terran vs. Protoss (w/commentary)

submitted by BoneyD

1 decade 4 years 1 week ago

There's been a lot of great Platinum League replays uploaded to YouTube, but this is definitely one of the best. An organised match here between Nazgul (Protoss) and TheLittleOne (Terran), both players put up a great fight. Employing multi-pronged attacks, diversions, economy raids and constructing counters to counters on the fly, it's hard to pick any obvious winner.

Husky and HD have commentated on many Starcraft 1/2 games and do quite a good job of explaining the strategies and reasons behind unit choices, since both are adept players themselves.

Enjoy!

Some of the terminology may be a bit obscure, but as a bit of a glossary for you, here are some of the common things you'll hear:

"Micro" - The control of individual or groups of units in combat. Such as moving units to avoid damage or focus on specific enemies and employing abilities at the right times.
"Macro" - Maintenance and growth of your base economy. Also managing new expansions to other resource areas.
"High ground" - Units cannot target enemies occupying raised terrain, unless being spotted by a flying unit. Also units on high ground receive damage and defence bonuses. (You want to be up there where possible!)

Also phrases like "12 expansion", or "15 barracks" basically mean how many gatherers you have out at the time you built a specific structure/unit. This is just important due to the second-by-second timing required to win in these high level games.
