I had a fun idea, and with the help of a friend I turned it into a short SC2 video for you guys. I have plans to do more, to try and creatively show neat tricks, tips, or small unknown things about Starcraft 2, but I wanted to see how this format worked. I hope you guys enjoy!



If you have any feedback on ways to improve, don't hesitate to leave a response. Some of the other topics I had in mind were:

  • Widow mine myths
  • Disjoint mechanics
  • marines
  • and more...

lol that was cute, I liked it.
Comparing BW with SCII is like comparing a beautiful three-master sailing ship with a modern battlecruiser. Both are beautiful in their own way, both perform the same task, but they are worlds apart in how they are built and how they are steered.

The only thing I think you missed is the easy opportunity to do something with the "SC" in science. XD

You are a genius, I'll see what I can do for the next one!

Small cool update, my friend who provided the voice work for this was really pleased with how well it was received so she said she was happy to do future ones as well. Thanks for your kind words guys!

wtf that's like nearly 1.5x the length of building a CC. I really wish they'd make it shorter, it makes denying creep so ridiculous sometimes T_T

Neat video though

How is that science? For a start the size of the creep spread is different, tumors spread a much wider radius and as creep recedes at a particular rate, of course it will take a lot longer for it to dissappear than the creep from an overlord.

If you allowed the creep from the tumor to get to the same radius as the overlord and then killed the tumor, it should take the same amount of time to recede as the overlord. That is what you should be testing.

Well done, you found out that three times the radius of creep takes three times as long to recede.

Nice voice over tho!

It was great, it is not something that strategical caster and videos oftenly cover and not something casual players is likely to test or try.

That's right folks, I definitely heard an ethnic twang in that voice, so everyone put your guesses on the screen. It's everyone's favorite game, it's Guess the Minority!!!

can't wait for the new mech unit for terran in LotV: giant space vacuum cleaner that can suck in creep and light units. If heavy units get applied it gets stuck, cannot suck anymore and loses half its hitpoints, can be repaired to full functionality.

on a more serious note, was a nice video until the weird singing. Then I checked out the site of Amanda, turns out she seems to be into that kind of stuff. Hope she had fun doing it, even though it still is weird.

and for some real critizism (if you are interested in any):
+ Show Spoiler +
There seems to be some sound cut off at the scv-mule-trollface-thingy, which interrupts the flow of counting down. Also it really sounds like her tone level is changing, maybe I'm just tone-deaf. Still sounds weird to me

Seems about right. Remember a game were the Zerg carried a Queen in an Ovie and was dropping creep tumors on all the empty expansions. So frustrating. -___-
