@55:20 a quick google search, most common mineral on Earth is quartz which is apparently around 200-300USD per kg, lets say 250USD or 231 Euros per kg.
A large block of mineral the SCV seems to be carrying could easily be 50kg+ considering how big SCV's are, which would be 11, 550 Euros.
Each harvest yields 8 minerals. 1 mineral is ~1443 Euros.
A marine would cost roughly 72, 187 Euros.
A 16 marine drop would cost at least 1.44 mil Euros.

Early in the campaign, Jim DID ask Tycus, 'Hay bro, why don't you get out of your suit?' And Tycus admits he's stuck in it. And then talks about it again at the end when he tries to betray Jim. It's a couple cutscenes.

Not sure if anyone remembers or cares, but a while ago there was a discussion about banelings and how they could have evolved to yeet themselves into the enemy and explode.

There are actually real world of examples of this. Two kinds of ants do the same thing. They have poison sacks they will burst open to kill other ants or bugs. They die after doing so.

Dark never ceases to be the most entertaining to watch pro with his bizarre strategies that work more often than you might think. I wish him many more victories!

[SkagulTV]

Horner does tell Raynor about it, from some kind of scan that shows the suit is locked and that Tychus has a gun to his head, the question was, who is holding the trigger

brilliant strategic play from dark in game 1. the bait base in the bottom, the instant retake of another base before he even lost that one, the off-meta use of ultras as "more mobile lurkers", the strategic capturing of the gold base as an opening into terran's main and refusal to allow it be set up as a chokepoint.

“ling bane hydras again a pure late game terran army?!?!”
the pure late game terran army: marines and mines.

Not the classic opening but I'll still hit the like button

32:55 It would make sense for tech labs to be separate structures depending on what they're attached to, so the game can easily reference what set of upgrades to make available for research. Probably just grabbing the tech_lab_barracks list instead of the tech_lab_factory list.

If you want to know why Hero upgrades armor first it's simple math.

Protoss has the most supply heavy armies in the game. Let's say that a maxed out protos middgame force is around 40 units, at an avarege of around 3 supply each.

Then we have terran, with about 70 units at about 1, 8 supply each on avarege.

Then we have zerg, which we put at around 120 units at 1 supply each on avarege.

Then we take into account that zerg and terran units has a bit faster attack speed on average, but that isn't even needed in this example, but the difference is even bigger.

Now to the math: 40 units with an attack upgrade would increase damage by about 80, for 70 units from terran would be about 100, for 120 units it would be 150.

Increasing defense instead removes that damage increase and subtracts it instead for the opponent.

This means that for protoss making damage upgrade results in a difference between your and your opponent at 80.

While upgrading defense as protoss would against terran get 100 more "power", and against zerg it would give 150.

Against other protoss it does not matter that much so might as well not disrupt the muscle memory.

I still think Ultras should get the ability to walk over smaller, friendly units. If that makes them too overpowered, lower it's attack speed, maybe reduce it's move speed to balance it out. The abomination does it in HoTS, steal it for the Ultra, remove the armour buff it grants to units it walks over, and there you go.

[jordanbraginton]

There was a whole discussion between Raynor and Horner about Tychus being trapped in his marine suit. They definitely knew about it, they just didn't know who was holding the trigger.

[andrewpan]

According to all known laws of Starcraft II, there is no way that Dark should be able to beat Clem with ultra ling bane on Dynasty. He gets hard countered by ghosts. Dark, of course, wins anyway. Because Dark doesn't care what humans think is impossible.

[hilliajf]

i the opening cinematic Tychus is welded into his suit. He literally can't take it off lol

[Raithen]

1 hour of starcraft on my thursday afternoon. Hell yeah!

Food delivery arrived, new lowko video ready, life is good.

[nobleman]

Raynor did found it suspicious and questioned Tychus about it in a cutscene and even found out about the whole death switch later on with Horner.

[doitean]

I miss when terran mech was a viable strategy. Now it is all MMM with siege tanks and ghosts.

[ttprophet]

that widow mine hit at 43:00 was satisfying.
