Backstory: During IPL3, an SC2 tournament, the internet in the venue died. Because SC2 has no LAN mode, this meant the tournament had to be put on hold. To kill time, HuK (an A- rank with Terran on ICCUP apparently, as well as an SC2 pro on Team Liquid, now EG) decided to play BW against Boxer. This was broadcast over a phone camera, to the interest of the BW community.

So I thought you guys might be interested to know that SC2 commentator HD Starcraft got a hold of the replay, and casted it.



I don't know, thought you'd like it. The commentary's aimed at introducing BW to SC2 fans, so it's maybe not the highest level, but it's still kind of neat.

It was disappointing to see 2 things
1: Huk got completely owned (tried 2base vs 2base)
2:Made me miss boxer playing BW

I'm pretty sure Huk was like B- rank, not A. But this is cool for HDStarcraft to do, hopefully it will get some SC2 fans interested in BW.

Against expectations, the Youtube comments are fairly sensible.

Not to diss on Huk, but I'm pretty sure HDStarcraft is misinformed when he said Huk was an A- player. If I remember correctly, Huk said it himself that he was like B- player (which is still pretty awesome), but not quite an A- player. All A rank players were pretty known in foreign BW community.

Besides that, there were also a few blunders in HD Starcraft's cast (like saying you couldn't OBS games in BW and had to be a Terran player and lift your c&c to obs), but all is forgiven because seeing such a popular figure in SC2 community cast some BW action again is damn awesome!

+ Show Spoiler +
More on topic, Huk had that game. If only he handled the Boxers 2nd drop better while he was attacking and didn't lose like 20 probes to only couple of vults and a tank (to be honest, I would've lost just as many probes myself vs Boxer lol).

Still, pretty fun game. Would be really nice to see more showmatches like these

Bad ass match-up, the match itself was way cool (at least it seemed to me), but I have a couple of questions:

In BW does the fire actually burn the Terran buildings (slowly damage health)?

Those "Arbiters" I think they were called. Do those cloak like Mothership does?

How does the Terran scan? Is there an OC or something else?

It's a play around game, HuK and Boxer were bored during the down time and HuK shouted to Boxer, "play me in broodwar", laughing. It's not super serious business so don't be disappointed

I think Huk is the only name SC2 player to not have previously played another RTS (BW or War3) at a high level, so that sounds about right.

We should tweet people and try to make this happen. I want to see Artosis vs Idra BW suddenly.

If the building is only in yellow health range (moderately damaged) then it will show as on fire but won't take damage, if it's in red health (very damaged) then yeah it takes damage over time.

Arbiters do cloak units, scan is from the comsat station which is an addon you put on the Command Center.

Yes.
Only units, not building.
There's a specific add on on the CC, which requires an academy to be built.

Pretty cool, even though the game is not exactly the best... Yeah, I know Boxer <3 etc etc

Same as SC2; but the fire animation can start a bit before the building is low enough to burn down. (Protoss buildings also catch fire in SC1, but that's purely cosmetic)

Those "Arbiters" I think they were called. Do those cloak like Mothership does?


Not quite; they only cloak units, not buildings. They have recall (which is a bit weaker than the mothership's Mass Recall, but arbiters are much cheaper and you can have several at a time), and Stasis Field, which freezes units in crystals

How does the Terran scan? Is there an OC or something else?


Comsat Station, an add-on to the Command Center. It doesn't do anything else (no mules), so BW Terrans scan a lot more than SC2 Terrans because there's nothing else to do with the energy. I think the BW scan reveals less area, but I'm not sure. It reveals quite a bit, though, and it detects like the SC2 scan.

Wow... Boxer is as impressive as ever. At one point he had all of Huk's probes dead. What a boss

From pPingu's video:
Boxers girlfriend holds Huk's eyes at one point and messes with his mouse. Totally BM
