The Wings of Liberty Speedrun is a fun mix of preparation, RTS skill and crisis management. If you're interested in running yourself, you can watch the full run here: • Wings of Liberty Speed...
Or check out ZPR's World Record run that I learned the strats from here: • Starcraft 2 WoL normal...

GGG went from "no man left behind" to "no cost is too great" very quickly.
the Mengsk transformation xD
He switch from the raynor commander to mengsk
- "Do the lives of your soldiers mean nothing to you? Are you that mad?"
- "Do yours mean so much to you? Are you that weak?"
MrGreen Tabasco is that a dawn of war quote i smell?
@@nagashtheundyingking4404 It is indeed, it's from the Tau taking the space marine stronghold in Dark Crusade IIRC.
GGG: "We will complete wings of liberty again"
Marines: "Yay"
GGG: "By any means necessary"
Marines: "...oh no"
"This is your plan?!"
- SCV, The Outlaws, 2020
@@jonathansmith1281 SCV: "Whut, you run outta marines!?"
Grant: "In my army, EVERYONE's a marine!"
@@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786 Mengsk co-op intesifies
"By any memes necessary"* big difference
Units in the beginning: hey, it's commander Grant, he's known to not lose a unit in his wars, what a blessing, we're safe!
Units after 10 seconds of gameplay: Oh no...
RUN! HES SPEEDRUNNING!
Eric Brown ooh if they run I can shave of 3 min
Got it! Go there and grab the artifact! Then what? ... Grant? ... uh oh.
It is a good day to die
@@mariaealfaro3300 the best
Imagine the Dominion going from "Zerg are attacking, everyone is going to die" to "The Queen of Blades is dead and we're saved" in less than two hours.
In a timeline where Raynor wasn't kidding when he said "I'm the man whose gonna kill you"
Moment of silence for all the units that were used as literal meat shields.
I'm having Ender's Game flashbacks.
Two extreme forms of completing RTS campaigns. Speed running (sacrifice anything for the clock), or keep all your units alive challenge (take as long as you need).
you are just used to no death runs :D
@@dailydoseofpuppiess that was a nice plot twist, wasnt it
That's so weird on this channel, where no-death has been the selling point for a while xD
Me, watching units die- Wait, that's illegal.
How about nova campain no dead :< im still waiting
@@TungNguyen-sp2qd we all are
Nova Covert Ops Deathless Run
First Mission: Stone being such a Dissapointment
Refer to rule 6
ITS BEEN ILLUSION ALL ALONG
Raynor, having somehow lived through thousands of timelines where his revolution is met with varying degrees of success, has mastered all known possible art of being a commander, memorized down all events that might happen, and has had enough shit with Kerrigan.
Just to clarify what is bound to be confusion: When on the "Faster" speed, the game and clock run at 1.4x speed, this means that a "30 Minute" defense mission on faster takes 21 minutes and 45 seconds real time.
Does calling the marauder upgrade kinetic form help?
Edit: sorry about the cringe, I couldn't figure out a clever way of mentioning that little detail
Your stuff is really neat, helped me wings of liberty on hard
Actually, 21 minutes, 25 and five sevenths seconds exactly. (Assuming the 1.4x speed and 30 minutes base time are both exact.)
Zero hour is skippable; if you clear the enemy bases the level ends.
@@sigh6140 No it isn't. Believe me, I've done it and the mission continues. Zerg keep spawning out of nidus worms that appear constantly and flyers come from the corners of the map. You're probably thinking about "Welcome to the Jungle" or "The Dig", where destroying all the protoss structures will indeed end the mission early.
First run: "No one is allowed to die! I will save you all!"
Second run: "Die so that I may save 5 seconds!"
Marine: GiantGrantGames is here! We're all going home alive!
5 seconds later:
To be fair, the marines got all kinds of VIP treatment because they do damage. It's the SCVs who got screwed.
Also compared to regular runs of the play which involve sending huge armies to die in battle, he still only makes the minimal troop investment to guarante the fastest victory
"So you know how we unlocked that orbital strike research? ...you're on suicide nuke duty."
"This is your plan?!"
- SCV, The Outlaws, 2020
The bridge in A Sinister Turn extends either at a certain time (3:30?) or when 5 units are produced - and it counts units the AI makes, so it trips early because you used the DTs to kill a bunch of Tal'darim in the right base and then the AI replaced them, setting off the trigger. I figured this from copying the strategy from the 'hard difficulty without producing units' speedrun on youtube for the 'Hurry up it's raid night' achievement and because the Zeratul missions are kinda shit so I like to just get them out of the way ASAP.
I love how you are in E-Mail-Contact with Mengsk 16:35
Good eye! Now that's a nice Easter Egg.
single queens near you btw
Tychus Speedo pics... Damn, he's sexy.
WebMD zerg infestation.
how DO you build probes tho?
14:46 The objective of Shatter the Sky is very unique...
The bookmarks and second tab at 16:36 are incredible.
Man, really puts a spin on the "Time to kick this revolution into overdrive" thing... jeez
Jokes were great. I especially liked that 'You can see the ueen of Blades' one.
*Queen
"my facebook group says the lava is a hoax"
"damnit karen"
This and the "no unit loss" videos are basically Mengsk's lore in a nutshell.
Sons of Korhal by itself was pretty much conviced to not take much casulties
I dont think Mengsk was caring about some "meat marinez"
@@tigran010 hello
"Yeah, the enemy just sorta waltzed into our base not caring about our overwhelming force."
"Fudge, that's scary. Let's just leave."
*meanwhile on Korhol*
Marine: Emperor Mengsk , we just heard the Zerg have returned and are wrecking havoc on the sector!
Mengsk: QUICK, consolidate our forces and secure Korhol NOW!
Marine: Wait milord, we just received a message that Raynor took out the Queen of Blades.
Mengsk: well........ Crisis averted then. Carry on soldier.
Korhal
10 minutes later the queen of blades bursts through the door, while the protoss have to separate from the Kala once again.
@@tonnentonie2767 imagine the heart of the swarm takes 10 minutes lmao
This is Donny Vermillion coming to you live from UNN studios on Korhal with a breaking news report: Notorious Outlaw Jim Raynor has just butchered his way through Zerg Space and put to death their caretaker; the self-proclaimed 'Queen of Blades' Jim Raynor. Have you no shame? Your actions have directly placed an entire *lineage* of animals on the Endangered Species list. We go now to Kate Lockwell for an update live in-progress!
Just when I thought I had nothing else to look forward to on this channel.
you're gonna be in for a treat though. Grant has been doing a "community challenge run" of wings of liberty and twitch chat is not kind.
The rules are as follows:
Every story arch twitch chat gets to ban 2 units ( except for the 1st arch which only has 1 unit ban)
Twitch chat chooses Grant's research and mission order
every mission, twitch chat comes up with and votes on some sort of challenge. this can be anything, and is only limited bytwitch chat's willingness to watch the same stupid mission for 2 hours (outbreak, moving out only at night, with hellions, hellbats and medics is not easy)
@@meeperdudeify we need vods of this on youtube
@@SargntSagara twitch has VODs gamer, and grant is making a VOD channel
0:37 "Prepare for the onslaught of jokes about units dying during the run"
Well, we got that part down
Marine: Ah... It's the commander from last time, we are glad to work under you again....
GiantGrantgames: Hey guys i have a different plan this time!
3:23 Underrated scv conversation there lmao
"Prepare for the onslaught of jokes about units dying during the run"
Let's get this party started!!!
"Jim Raynor's army on cocaine" should be the name of this run
Stimpacks for everyone!
... this is just kinda how Terran work by default?
Managed to obtain the speedrunning achievement of Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty in under 8 hours, your video helped a lot, thank you for your work. Keeping up the great work, have a nice day
1:36
I try to avoid deaths, but they are inevitable when I am Russian!.. Wait...
...
...
Stalin: That's right!
Grant "I beat all the campaigns without losing a unit"
Also Grant "I try to avoid loses, but its inevitable"
8:45 that was only me trying to close the help boxes like a idiot? XD
I've been rewatching your deathless runs recently, and am super hyped for this video. Can't get enough of Starcraft 2 campaign shenanigans.
Looking forward to more speed runs. It's one of my favorite hobbies to watch.
Wow Man ! That was amazing
Thanks for making these awesome SC2 videos. It's one of my favorite games and I enjoy your explanations of why/how things work instead of just showing us a speedrun with no commentary.
What an absolute legend, your content is something out of this world.
Congrats dude, waiting for your next video!
that's really impressive, especially for it being a very early try. Great work!
15:54
Damn that boy must have had infinite ammo and a godly gun to continuously shoot without running out of ammo or overheating
Great content as always!
This was fun, I found you on the WoL deathless run, and I have enjoyed all your stuff since then.
I generally enjoy analyzed speed runs like this if you decide you want to do more, it is hardly the only option however.
Congrats! This is what I call quality content~
Amazing video! Really hope to see other campaigns speedruns
it would be nice to do a "KILL EVERYTHING RUN"
Also, Congratulations for being the third
I love your Videos and I can really see the effort you put into what you do. Keep up the great work^^
Loving your channel, your sc2 vids are great!
The ending is too wholesome for my taste 😁 thank You man, for providing such an entertaining videos 😊😊
Congratulations on the great run!
I remember that I finished the Moebius mission pretty quickly cuz I had the Hercules reaserched so I just flew it with my army to all objectives :D
Amazing man! Waiting for your ascension on the list.
its really nice to watch!
Congratulations for the charity action and the awesome run ! Good continuation !
Great Stream, Great Video, Great Run... It's like you're good at this or something.
Keep up the great work GiantGrantGames
Something about your videos are so calming I cant stop watching them
Conrats on your placement!
Great run, well done!
i have never been so ready and exited to watch a video in my life
Never reallt been a speedrun watched but i liked this run great video
Dude, this is really cool, even though I'm from another country, I can understand you and calmly watch your videos without straining. It also helps to improve my English. you deserve a like. And you play great.
Yo, amazing work 3G, awesome work as usual 😀
Would love a speedrun on legacy of rhe void and heart of the swarm 😉❤️
This run was so amazing to see it happen live :D
Congrats the that time and personal best! Here's to a world record!
That was well played, congrats mr. GiantGrantGames.
Me, spending nearly 1 day or two on Achieving the raid achievement.
Grant: Done in 2 hours.
Really awesome. 😁finding out the best positions is one thing...but remembering it is a completely different. i couldn't even remember one.
Dude I was looking for a speedrun for the last few days, this is beyond Google listening to me, you felt mt heart. Yeeeeeees
awesome job!!
Your Speedrun Showcase helped me a lot for beating the game (WoL) with 100%
Man your content is so Pog, I'ts such a shame these aren't coming out faster
Congratulations man, i'm very happy for you.
"I put my SCVs and Medics in Front to soak damage"
SCV: You sure about that?
Amazing run
Congrats, dude!
I love your content, you're an amazing sc2 player aswell.
another awesome vid :)
That was insane, GG
I comment solely for the into. Thanks man, speed running is a niche thing and should be supported.
Great run
Holy shit! GZ, man!
Nice job man
the absolute mad lad's back!
that scan then dropping the mule was sick, great work.
Lol that was like the most obvious thing you could do on a starcraft speedrun
@@sexysalmon4411 I just thought it was kind of clever.
@@philip8673 not trying to drag you down, i just found it fumny that of all the exploited bugs you're impressed by the simplest thing :D
Emperor Mengsk: "Jim Raynor is a criminal, and will be brought to justice immediately"
Jim: "Time to kick this revolution into O V E R D R I V E"
*2 Hours Later*
Jim: "hey"
Emperor Mengsk: "NOT THAT QUICKLY!!!"
Gratz on 3rd place good shit
Also congratulations on the first actually enjoyable to watch starcraft speedrun lmao
Dude congrats. That is huge.
I feel like there's not enough people talking about how disconcerting A Sinister Turn would've been for Ma'ar.
Grats on top 3! Wow!
got scared thinking of how many times you had to reset when units died
then i realized it didnt matter here
The amount of strategy involved in this game and the skill cap that allows things like this is actually amazing
Good job!
prety cool. thank you for existing.
Hell yeah dood, congrats on hitting that top 3 spot guy
Top three, wow, awesome stuff!
Congratulations on the speedrun
I have a suggestion for a challenge, wings of liberty on brutal without buying anything.
A joke could be needing beer money, or the TV at the begginning costing more than expected.
Good job :D
Third place? Thats really damn good, great work man!
I've been watching a bunch of your "no kill" runs so seeing all these marines getting mowed down is terrifying.
Don't stop I love your vids
Grats on 3rd place! Going to watch the full vod soon I hope.
Side note.
Seems your making up for all the units that couldn't die in the last series.
