- In this challenge run of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, we ask and answer one simple question: Can you beat the game on the highest "Brutal" difficulty without creating a single new unit?
StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty is a 2010 science fiction real-time strategy video game by Blizzard Entertainment. It is a sequel to the 1998 StarCraft and the Brood War expansion pack, and was followed by the Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void expansions. It follows the story of rebel Jim Raynor on his mission to confront Kerrigan, the Queen of Blades and leader of the Zerg swarm.

Kerrigan: I am the ..
Jim: No you are not, I'm the swarm.
Giant Grant Games will be proud.
Proud Prant Pames will be giant
Only if he does it deathless
Well, despite this run being very, very good and skillful, Grant probably won't include mind-control in his challenge run. I am pretty sure about that.
Grant is so bad lol
@@bsherman8236 Grant is the best lol
I like how the challenge is unrelated to speedrunning, but you still try to go as fast as possible
I think its also because more time means more units for the ennemy
@@vubhutoto8761 ok, but I wish to believe that this is just a strong habit Stu managed to develop
@@Cromlech sure
Final Mission was very close. You had the largest zerg bio-signature I've ever seen in your base.
i find it very ironic that queen of blades lost to her own forces
You mean the 10 fps part?
Damn that engine sucked from the very beginning at it still does.
@@tertozer3543 That is a log of units to render.
Most of them are the same so they probably are batch rendered.
Even then most game engines would struggle with it.
@@LittleRainGames When sc2 came out, quad core cpus were the standard. Game Engine only supported two cores.
Can't imagine the amount of time it took to route and test a run like this before presenting it.. Well done! Really impressive work.
What a nice way say that someone is burned
Raynor: "We'll need a lot more marines before we take on the Dominion outpost. Train 'em up at the Barracks."
Stu: "Naaaaah..."
Just imagine if Wings of Liberty had a "Train 5 Marines" introductory mission. The run would have ended before it could start!
Next up, Heart of the-oh wait…
I think ggg did that by creating and then immediately killing the units
Taldarim on balshir: they are stealing our gas! Wait they don't? They do! They don't...monitoring equipment must be broken, let's ignore it.
Wonder what was Warfield thinking when he got rescued by a flock of mutalisks.
A video with this caliber of skill combine with GGG's commentary style would be so nice.
Stu style of editing and just going pure business slightly more is slightly better for me. It's just easier to appreciate how precise some moments can be, feels more tense that way as well.
Personally when it comes to watching someone else gameplay how it's done on this channel is just perfection as I didn't ever had any extra questions beyond what is provided by the added text in the video.
Dunno, it just have that slick, professional feeling the way it's done here.
@@andrzejnadgirl2029 I think what Stu does is great for CZcams, since they're doing straight recordings as opposed to doing edited VODs from Twitch streams. Sometimes those are nice, say if it's someone just doing a 20 minute summary of something that took them several days worth of 6 hour streams (I don't watch Twitch, I don't know how long streams tend to last) and they're highlighting the good bits and a few funny things that happened.
When it comes to speedruns or similar challenges, I do like to watch the whole thing instead of just the good bits from a couple missions to demonstrate why it was a challenge. It might not get as many views, but I do prefer watching the whole playthrough as opposed to an edited down version
@@aceshighdueceslow Did you ever check out the giant grant games archives? That's the unedited versions of the streams, also of his speedruns.
@@gushlergushler I didn't know he had an archive, I'll have to check that out, especially because I've wanted to see the full, unedited versions of the WarCraft 3 campaigns
I love it just the way it is tbqh
Man... for as difficult as I find the Brutal missions to be, here you are making dreams happen. Massive props, Stu!
Your channel easily has some the best SC2 campaign content that exists. Would love to see a full "Destroy Everything" run of each campaign mission with your play style - my favorite missions to watch from your speedrunning series are those where you take this approach. Your clears of All In, Zero Hour, Sudden Strike, etc. are all absolutely impeccable.
I dunno if someone has done Destroy Everything on LotV, but that seems like a great idea, though I'm not sure how possible that would be (I guess Rakshir is the bottleneck). DaveyGunface and GGG haven't covered that yet (they only did WoL and HotS).
Haha Stu doing everything in his power to avoid Legacy of the void :P
Thanks for speeding certain sections up. It's appreciated. Godly run man. You're a legend.
A little bit defect is that you should not controlled broodlords because they spawn broodlings automatically in attack.
Dunno how possible The Crucible would be without Swarm Hosts if that's the case 😅
Normal no production on that mission was already crazy enough, what more Brutal with an extra handicap
A work of art and quality entertainment. Love the commentary too!
47:56
"we should just cover the place in auto-turrets"
> does exactly that
Это прохождение компании словно.. реалистичное? Это если бы Рейнор ценил каждого бойца и в конце дал медаль героя Стетманну.
Спасибо тебе за прохождение, ну и понятно дело ждём спидран legacy of the void легендарного Stu))
this video has got to be one of the most amazing display of ability I've ever seen! Very nice prep for the maps and the specific units/structures given at the start of every mission. Best regards from Costa Rica Stu!
very well done! I mean everything: micro, strategy, video content.I can't even imagine what tremendous efforts it took you to think of the best way to complete these challenge and how many attempts you did !WE NEED MORE OF THIS ON CZcams
And i struggle to beat it on brutal with no restrictions at all :')
For real though you're nutty, love your sc2 content!
I generally don't enjoy vids like this where there is no talking. Bit you adding context in a written form kinda was enough. What really did make it special is your play style and skill level. This kept me watching with your side notes. But rly impressive run your very skilled
For a moment I thought it's a no production run on the highest difficulty. 0 units produced is still a great challenge run though. Great job!
Would not have thought it was possible, amazing run!
So many details, such a brilliant move. How did you discover by cancelling 6 times of SCV in the mission"Welcome to the Jungle"
It's a known bug nowadays, a nice tactic nonetheless.
It's an old speedrunning trick, I'm not sure who discovered it first.
@@StuGamespretty sure it was grant
Absolutely nuts Stu, well done.
Very nice. The remaining missions would've been trivial at this point (planetaries and hive mind emulators for the colonist story line, and Odin carry on Korhal), while not giving any further advantage, so I suppose I shan't mind you left them out.
Biggest problem would be the final protoss mission. I don't think photon cannons are enough, but I certainly do not possess the skill level to test it. With these rules, interceptors can't even be rebuilt... Probably impossible, but maybe some day a brave youtuber will prove me wrong :D
This is just unbelievable. When i first time played WoL the last mission gave me so much pain on normal, that i even cant describe how Kerrigan humiliated my bunkers and battlecruisersю Since then i surely had seen a lot of tactics and good strategies, but your video made all my experience to be like a puke, like a joke. I thank you for the video.
I read the title and couldn't believe it was possible
This needs commentary!!!
Seeing this get done just after I slogged through brutal is really humbling.. Truly amazing work you have done here!!
We wait for the LoTV speedrun. Meanwhile, this is absurdly cool too!
Damn Stu gave us another quality content to watch. Thank you for making this vids! I hope your channel can grow more
Well, I guess you got 10th anniversary achievement of Moebius factor, huh.
Great run, as always)
What an effort you put in! Besides the great skill, the editing was really nice. Top notch video, man.
Now THIS is content
Your run will make a fine addition to my playlist and favorites
When I first discovered your videos I greatly appreciated them for the high skill expression and lack of nauseating camera micro that made the footage unwatched. And I still do thanks for this content ❤❤
Can't wait to see more of this. Absolutely amazing!
Subscribed to this channel bc of the funny and well-edited "who would win" vids. Stayed for the masterclass playthroughs.
No regrets.
Tosh: Good job! That's the first canister filled.
Raynor: That's over half the canisters you wanted.
Raynor can't count XD
(29:10)
Nice work mate! Bravo!
This is quality content!!! Keep it up mate!
Great videos Stu. Keep em' comin!
ok, the "All in" muta and lord takeover rly got me, lol. very good taktik
I'm very happy that it was uploaded at the moment I thought it would be nice if there was a video of the Terran campaign being tied together.
Any time you see all possible terran structures flying - remember that someone values his men's lives above everything. ✨
Stu... Man, what a brilhant performance, each stage, each plan. U deserve the best! Thx for that video!
Amazingly creat strategies. Great editing. Thanks Stu!
I cant wait to see the next campaigns. Amazing work❤
bravo STU! Enjoyed your video so well 👍
Amazing run. Well done.
Outrageous!!! just flexing on kerrigan in the last mission with the largest ever zerg army
Best vid that can pop up in the break 🎉🎉🎉
This is beyond impressive. The RnD behind this, respect to you sir.
you rock !!!!! years of trying for one vid !! congratulations !!!!
Amazing gameplay. I passed Brutal a few times before but so much stress and so many hours. Lots of great techniques and resource management. Plus you speed run this.
I can't imagine how many times you've studied this...
I have many memories in SC games because I'm korean. Thanks you so much. Nice explanation, foreigners also watched it comfortably!!
This was pure skill! You are officially crazier than Grant now
Thumbs up and subscribed. Love this type of content.
Amazing work! That is insane
GGG would be so proud. Hope you'll do more of this! xD
Great work. Hats off to you.
STU I have been watching you for years and this is truly a special accomplishment ❤
GJ!! I like your non commented video and your skills ! Give us more challenges and gameplays !
I never expect that.....
That's truly amazing...
9 supply, 200 mutas. Fuckin golden. Love it, amazing job my dude.
the videos are great, I'm amazed and definitely learnt a few new things, when are you going to play legacy of the void, I'll be looking forward to it
Nice challenge. I'm watching this like a real high end survival movie.
sick performance, stu is the MAN!
Thank for new SC2 masterpiece run!
next challenge is to complete on brutal without losing any single unit? XD
Thnks4share! This is so good!
Stu, you're crazy. I love it.
Wow, I did not think that was possible! Great job!
I think however that at the second mission, 11:37 - you can probably do better if you target the ranged units. They keep stacking behind zerglings and do more and more damage.
2 Questions:
1. how many Muta did you have at the end there?
2. Did you try and mind-control the Leviathan?
Leviathan is a heroic unit, cant be mind controlled
Молодец, справиться на брутале, без заказа юнитов. Ну ты мужик, на яйцах вывез. Жду такие же видосы по остальным частям
Great content brother I completed any missions from watch your play
Amazing....congratulations.
Bravo, it's impressive ! smart decisions only !
Absolutely amazing
This is EPIC!!
You make it look so easy! But when I try any of your strats myself, I have no where near enough APM to keep up. Also, that final shot with all the Mutas was awesome!
Very nice !!!
This is amazing
really, really impressive 😁couldn't even do that on easy. things like landing a building on a siege tank to unsiege it are really clever. learned some tricks for my own playthrough
Some of the best gaming I've ever watched...
I've just completed WoL campaign. Supernova and All in had me really stressed . The command center+4 banshees was a very impressive strategy considering the carnage the protoss has on the base. Observer in the artifact base. Templar psionic storm. Phoenix, 1-2 carriers , and a bunch of cannons and ground units that can target air, stress🤯🤯
I did not know that the mind control does not consume supply. That means you could mass the enemy units making them yours with no supply needed. That is a little OP imo considering how difficult is All in for many players
It is such a beautiful performance
sry for my english but.....i have no words.you are unbelievable,2 hours between shock and laughing.
Grant would be proud of ya.
Love the vids Still w8 for LoTV 100%
Я прошу прощения что пишу на русском языке, но это просто нечто. Таких незабываемых ощущений от данной игры я давно не получал. Я с нетерпением жду полный спидран Сердце роя и наследие пустоты. Желаю всего самого наилучшего тебе друг мой.
are you kidding stu? looks impossible, i even didn't know ways about that. Definitely like
demasiado bueno e ingenioso, te la rifaste
You deserve waaaay more subs
Absolute art!
This is crazy man. wow. 😲
impressive gj!
1:20:07 How many lives does Zeratul have?
Zeratul: Yes.
You are legendary!!
