I cant play on battlenet cuz my is very unstable atm (wireless)so I played trough some single player maps. and I allways thought it was kinda fun to do that 9th map on expansion with Zerg. The one you have to do on a 30min timer. and if you do it with more than 5mins left you get to the bonus map. So I often just play to try it out. Before it was defo the hardest map in single player imo. To kill a toss defence with so little gas. So now I only try to improve my timer. I've managed with 11:34 left the timer, not a biggie but for many, but its a huge improvement on that map for me (D+ Terran player). Just curious how fast you have done it, or can do it?

I thought you had to do it in 15 minutes.

And is it really harder than Omega? I mean you jsut sit there and build Guardians until 18 minutes. Its not like The Toss' script lets them attack you

Lol I have honestly never once played any of the single player campaign. But then again, I learned how to play sc just by watching my little brother like 7 years ago.

A lot of the people who do these speed runs are probably D rank, and if someone with a higher level was to try, I bet they would beat those times really easily.

He had pretty good micro. He even pulled drones at the end so that the could kill the buildings a little faster.

I thought the Zerg mission where you get DTs and you have to kill the overmind was the hardest one. I thought Omega was pretty easy since you have land access to everywhere and alot of money to work with.

I remember that terran mission in vanilla where you had to 'hold out' while the zerg forces attacked you... until they could come pick you up. The first couple of times I did it, there were 100s of units in my base while I floated a few buildings away to make it to the next mission.... and then after learning some melee I went back again and just killed the zerg with marine/firebat like nothing lol

It's the strategy and the way they complete some missions that are ingenious. But then, I feel like if I just copied their strategy and used my superior speed I could destroy most of those records lol.

Maybe when I have a computer powerful enough to record the screen without lag Why don't you do it? Probably because it's a waste of time unless you're bored without b.net like the Op ^^

I was toying with setting up a user stream to record a play-through of the single player campaign for lawls... but like Chef said it's just not worth it...

The speed run for the BW mission where the map starts out with like 30 mutas and you have 6 valks, some floating buildings etc. That stuff is ingenious.

Here's the link



Here's the link for ground zero... another ingenious secret
