Epic Zerg vs Protoss: goo.gl/qeUdf6
A very fun match of Gold League Zerg versus Protoss. In this game the Zerg player decides to go for a strategy that is a little uncommon. Eventually, we see the Zerg player (I guess he's a Hybrid player now) teching up to Carriers and a Mothership.

"Hierarch. We've got a request from a Zerg-controlled Nexus to warp in a Mothership"
"Yeah, yeah, right... just give them a spare. I've got other things to take care of."
"its an old code sir, but it checks out"
isn't aiur a planet that was overrun by the zerg?
@@villaticlang4844 Lore wise, that is correct. Gameplay wise, things of course may not correlate with lore as you can imagine.

"Turns out that I don't know how to play Zerg so I switched back to Protoss mid game"
Just a casual switch
@@AdityaSingh-lp5rp pretty common, if I do say so myself

"Sir, an Infestor kidnapped one of our probe."

Zerg: "Hold my Nexus" *builds a mothership*
Well hes race fluid
Protoss: We fight with honor.
Zerg: We fight with your mothership.
And I thought the Flood was good at adapting to alien technology.

That's what your mothership said.

“Sir an infester is walking away with a probe”
Commander: acceptable loss
LOL!!!!
"Just one probe? Forget it."
"What could possibly go wrong?"
-_-
This is LITERALLY the story of Starcrafts xD
"It's just one probe. What can go wrong?"
Zerg: Hold my Spawning Pool.
Protoss to probes: never accept sweets from strangers.
"sees army of zealots"
"Pffft here comes the changelings again, what do they think we are, stupid?"

"yes but that's besides the point"
Zerg transitions to carriers while an ewok dance party is going on.

Okay, everyone! Goodbye Literature Club, hello Swarm.
More of this kinda game lol...
:D :D nailed it
Yes those are Ewoks, should have worn a welders mask before watching this game - my eyes bleed.
Else from that Brilliant thing of taking over protos tech, though not as well executed. Neither by DroneTMX, he had lots of resources, but did not build in the later part.

"So, you play zerg or protoss?"
"Yes."
"No Im a hybrid"
I like playing with zerg's early game but after that protoss is just the way to go.

Holy shit this game is the unicorn of starcraft games...it should not exsist, but..but here it is!
+Cory You are kidding me right?! Imba league is a ARCADE game. For the arcade thats very very tame..THERE ARE FPS IN THE ARCADE!
Its BEEN possible since SC BROOD WAR... Dark Archons can mind control things. lol i used to do all 3 races
Yeah BLaCK, and thank of that, Protoss can push max army limit.
I was a funny tactic ^^
ScorpioNoKardia and instead of 200 max pop limit you can have 400. becoz 200 of each race hehe
It's like old school cnc, transporting a bunch of engineers to the enemy's structures and then being like "this is my tech now"
Nothing better than PAC/hammerhead with rocket combo. To be fair CnC3 did a lot of SC2 things before SC2 did, CnC's veterancy system is superior imo (sacrilege on a SC channel I know)
@@Enkarashaddam CNC also never recived the balancing it needed IMO. Far too many "I win" conditions without the ability to fight back. Been on both sides, and both sides felt bad. A great RP game to fight the computer, but not a very great competitive game in my opinion.
@@jordanbauerly8843 that's sort of true. Each race had its own ace in the hole (though it could be said GDI had more inexpensive tricks like rocket squad/hammerhead combos and orbital strike/ion cannon combos for suppressing enemy superweapons). I actually found CnC made me a better RTS player because it forced me to multitask rapidly and efficiently, especially against its brutal AI. CnC's brutal AI is so powerful it makes SC look like childs play. If you don't manage your build tightly and precisely you get overwhelmed playing as any race. I know I got my ass beaten by brutal Nod more times than I care for before I got good.
@@Enkarashaddam SC get popularity cuz it less management. In CnC you need to manage even your damn harvester to harvest blue field while harassing enemy harvester at the same time.
Playing CnC is like playing Rhythm game but in RTS. If you lose focus once with versus player that nearly mean you lose.
And in generals it’s much more easier we if your gla at least
Tfw Monika has existed in cyberspace for so long that she can macro 2x harder than the average StarCraft II player.
Monika is fucking *gosu.*
That moment when Monika isn't satisfied with hacking only your life.
Awesome
"Monika is building a star gate!"
Knowing the reference and hearing Monika do that made me laugh hard.
Monika apparently is a skilled Starcraft 2 player.
-Amun, are you crying?
- No no! The is just something in my eye.
Underrated comment
"I wanna play like i'm random, but i also want to pick my race"
JustMonika assimilated the Protoss on Aiur.
Amon should've hired that guy instead of the Overmind.
He should have hired Monika to delete Tassadars ship before it would have wrecked into him
Memester Gaming - The Overmind wanted to die, that was the reason for creating the Queen of Blades in the first place. She wasn't under Amon's influence & would lead the Zerg. Sorta loophole in things
Azaerl What I really said in my reply was supposed to be a joke, I know the details as well as you do, I spent an entire day researching this stuff because I was bored during the summer
@@azaerl5640 I thought she was under a shadow of his influence? On Zerus when talking to Zurvan she says she "felt, an influence, a trace of something dark but long gone."

Werent they only in the LotV campaign ?
i thought it was that pokemon that has skull on his face

Once lost to mass battle-cruisers playing terran against a zerg.
Neutral parasite doesn't last long enough to build a command center though, so I don't know how that would work.
Get a group of Infestors gangbanging the same unlucky SCV so it's under control long enough to build a CC
Much harder than a Nexus but it can be done
Yall ever had to deal with ultralisks and medics?
I did that in the end of the terran cambing, was pretty OP
In StarCraft Broodwar, yes
Dear lord
Curious all the missions with enemy probes etc
Imagine the new MMM-marines medivaces mutalisks
I guess Monika got tired of the literature club and started playing StarCraft...Not that i'm complaining.
Just Monika!
Oposing player has been deleted.
Its just you and me now, player. For ever, and ever.
I will not let her Hurt You.
there's a reason sc2 is primarily 1v1 ;)
Monika breaking games one game at a time.
DDLC.
Reminds me of a reverse of my favorite Brood War strat. I'd start Protoss, rush Dark Archon, mind control some scvs and drones then drop a massive fleet of Carriers, Battle Cruisers, and Guardians under Arbiter cloaks on my poor hapless targets.
same:D
Can you do that in SC2 only the Zerg mind controls now?
@@tchivchiv2703 it's harder to mind control a terran SCV in SC2 unle you have a ton of infestors
@@tchivchiv2703 It's harder to do and it's a lot weaker. In Brood war the Terran, Protoss, and Zerg had separate supply pools while in Starcraft 2 they all share from one supply pool.
"this zerg player is slowly transitioning into protoss."
During Brood war this was a very common thing :D
When I remember correctly, in Brood War there was a time where you could have 200 supply for zerg, terran and protoss EACH. talk about overpowered x)
I remember reading the Brood War strategy guide's advice about Dark Archons specifically calling out that you get 200 supply for each race and thinking that was the ultimate dream. It was so tough to pull off, usually I ended up just doing it in campaign missions.
I would do it all the time in free mode just to feel super OP. Just a ball of death from each race and just wipe the floor lol
Sometimes you'd hit the max number of units on the map before maxing out your races.
Well, it wasn't 200 supply for each race but 90.
Yeah I used to play 2v2 and would take one of my allies workers
20:54 "Is this what the Xel'naga had intended all this time" :D
Even if im at an advantage, id be so demoralized seeing my enemy build my race units i would GG
Not as easy as in SC1... In SC1 you would receive a new 200 supply, in SC2 the supply is shared so you just get more diversity and a ton more costs of resources and time for the new upgrades.
That'd be very unprofessional
@@DekkarJr that sort of tactic is already disrespectful.
legend said niadra was on that ship
Aye
I was expecting a simple Neural Parasite on a Mothership. I was very pleasantly disappointed.
Now go join the literature club!
AtrumDelorox he builds a mpthership though
Me too
There no Parasite on a Mothership. Why are you lieing?
Infestor: omae wa mou shindeiru
Probe: Nani?!

When you accidently start playing as zergs so you just switch it in the middle of the game.
13:12 "I secretly hope that JustMonika is going to try again..."
Watch the southwest corner of the map. He's already setting up the limbo line.
14:22 the moment when the critical neuro-parasite began...
if you google Limbo Line, you can't find anything, what is a limbo line?
@@cookie1138 it's like they're forming a line behind and in front of each other
I was thinking like in the game/dance of limbo where people take turns trying trying to pass under a bar. You'll end up with a bunch of people lined up in front of the bar, waiting their turn (the "limbo line", but it's not officially called that).
JustMonica looked like very skilled player using a smurf account to troll lower levels with tactics such as this.
I'm not sure whether smurf or tanked his rating trying to pull this off. The effect is the same but at least the latter I can respect.
I've also had someone pull this off against me while I was on terran, except I eventually won despite going up against that hybrid. Fun fact, did you know medivacs heal zerg units?
@@daredaemon8878 medivacs also heal bio-units of other races in team maches
BerserkMan2000 then again his use of the swarm hosts and infestors was silver league.
Maybe a platinum player playing a gold level
Not likely. His production and resource management was clearly a lower level player
As a Protoss player, I must say, THIS IS A BLASPHEMOUS ABOMINATION!!!
mee it was basic SC1 dark arcon did the same
Lol I feel you. Guy almost did this to me, I marched in to his home base and saw 6 Stargates warping shit I'm and was like WTF???. Earlier I saw a Nexus warp bubble and I thought it was a changling glitch. Now I know why.
@@user-mw9cs3fj4t - Yeah, but that was the Protoss game. Blizzard now gave this ability to the zerg, while the protoss lost their Dark Arcon.
@@cainabel6356 yeap
i know, right? only protoss get to pull this kind of shit.
You can say that this match is what the Overmind always wanted, infesting the protoss into the swarm!
This was a glorious game!
Protoss:sir there's one drone missing!
Commander of protoss: Where is it?
Protoss:it's with that infestor
Commander of Protoss:Kill it now!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cue Astartes scene of smashing guys face]
I can't imagine what zelots feel when they see the golden armada lead by a zergling
like they are fighting Amon again
Imagine a carbot carrier with a carbot zergling at the helm.
Little notification popped up saying zerg mothership. Can't resist!
hahahha the drones mining to a nexus blew my mind
and the toss is named drone, how ironic
By the way in SC Brood war also the same is possible 😂 i have Probes mining to a Lair. All thanks to Dark Archons 😂
Infestor: I Can Controll Enemy Units
Starcraft BW Fans: Hold My Dark Archon
It's Protoss Vs Amon...
Huh, Neat!
Amon is just the pawn, Monika is the real final boss :3
Amon wishes he could be that good of a tactician. I mean, why waste time corrupting the Khala when you can mass-produce your own armada?
So it's the protoss campaign
20:00 Monika just achieve World Peace, wow
We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.
Carbot animation in real game, nice work derpfestor👏👏
Remember the Derpfestor from Starcrafts? The one taking the probe was him!!
I suspect Justmonika is not a Gold league player but a much higher tier player using a smurf account to goof around with these types of strategies against low league players.
Of course it's a smurf. JustMonika is a meme from Doki Doki literature club which debuted in Sept of 2017. There's 0 chances that said player has only played for 3-4 months.
Or you know, Monika did somehow come to our world. The real world with endless possibilities.
A little bit of Monika lives within every computer..she's chillin with Sophia in the Cloud waiting for her opportunity...2018!!
I like how he went all "let.me.show.you.how.you.win.with.protos"
Already played him once. 100% smurf, diamond or higher. I'm only half surprised he pushes the immaturity/trolling to the point of even uploading his games against lower leagues players.
Claiming Protoss for the Swarm FTW!
Bow to our talons Protoss weaklings!! Serve the swarm and you shall feel the glory of infestation!! XD In truth I've wondered how cool it would be in the Starcraft story line if there was a Protoss tribe that worshiped the Zerg Swarm. I'd dig that XD.
FOR THE SWARRRRM-I mean Aiur
This was one of my favorite things about Brood War, happy to see it implemented here
Zerg and Protoss: In a LITERAL war with each other.
A bunch of bears: aight we camping
Xel'Naga: Lets create two races that, in time, will form into one higher race.
Amon: So... forcibly combine them into one?
Xel'Naga: Amon no.
Amon: Well I'm gonna.

This reminds me of a match I saw on HuskyStarcraft’s old channel, the video isn’t around anymore but it was a match between Catz and Zion.
The match was about an hour long but it was ZvP and the Zerg was able to start up Protoss infrastructure by using an infestor to snag a probe. The map was split in half with tons of creep and spine/spore crawlers all over the map so the Protoss was getting lots of tempests. The Zerg was able to get tempests of his own and the final battle was 3/3 tempests for Protoss vs 3/3 tempests for Zerg. It was glorious, I wish that replay was still around.
I would have loved to see it. Only other similar match I know was in a Funday Monday episode with Day9. "Stop hitting yourself". The challenge being using an infestor and beating your opponent with his own race.
Even though Day9 allowed for 3 weeks to send in a replay, he only received a handful of submissions... It's still up on his channel though :).
These games are so cool!!! I hope there is an entire series of these...
This is one of the best replays I've seen lol. Starts as Zerg, wins as Protoss lol. Hybrid ftw.

Zerg: Alright, let me show you then................... Can you see how strong the Golden Armada is now?
Protoss: Well...Yeah...I just found Zerg can be Protoss and Terran at the same game. Zerg is indeed the most powerful race in Starcraft!
Zerg: .....................

This is just the kind of cheesy play I used to do as toss in sc1, grab an enemy worker with my dark-arcon, build a base, start a BRAND NEW pool of supply, and double, then triple, the supplylimit. Zerg bases defended by marines and tatonx in siegemode? Carrierfleets defended by zerg suicide-fliers? Ultralisks and arcons side by sied?? Business as usual!
I usually used the toss to build cannons all over the map, defending the bases of terran and zerg while the zergs pumped an unending stream of kamikaze on the enemy while the terran amassed siegetanks.
Me convincing my friend zerg is better just because I wanna be the only toss in the group
Oh man now I wanna see a mass ZERG battlecruiser army ! ! ! That will be so fun to watch lol

So much love for this video! So cool!
used to do this all the time as a protoss in brood wars. shame it no longer has separate unit caps. have ran terran zerg protoss 600 cap a few times back in the olden days. way fun!
Came here for the 'Zerg Mothership' title and stayed for Doki Doki memes. I see y'all even got Low to consider playing it.
Really enjoyed that approach !!
we used to do that all the time back in the day, in SC; although using dark archons mc spell (to steal a worker from another race) :)
yeah but then you had double supply count.
Damm that remember the brooadwar protoss that could capture the enemy unitis! Was very fun to do, get all 3 race at once
And that's one of the reasons why they were my favorite race in SC1.
darchons for the win
Now Blizzard needs to release SC3 where Terran gets to control the enemy units and have all 3 race at once.
btw, does it double your supply in SC2?
@@Zulfar-bd9tc Terran can manipulate zergs but only in the storyline of BW. They tranq the overmind and manipulate the whole colony of zerg. I wish we can do that to the hive as well
