You help me get to sleep almost every night with these. These are stressful times and instead of thinking a thousand thoughts and keeping myself awake, I just lay there and watch a replay and eventually I'm falling asleep.
btw thanks for not swearing ever during those casts. Really appreciate it taking into consideration modern youtube trends that allows me to listen to the casts out loud while doing cleaning up or some other mechanical things
The first game was a clinic, holy shit! Edit: so was the second game. Any new Protoss players should study it, because 3 base hydra/lurker will be the most common Zerg build you will face on the lower ranks of the ladder and this is how you handle it. The move out with 8 +1 speed Zealots and the DT that went for the third are especially important to pay attention to. Moves like that keep the Zerg honest by forcing him to invest into sunkens, allowing you to secure your 3rd before the Zerg macro explodes.
Just want to say thanks for introducing me to brood war. In the beginning of my subscription to your channel I was like, “eh I don’t play brood war” but it has been fun learning about this version of sc. THANKS :)
Woah, your voice was a lot different 6 years ago. Man, it is cool to see how you have managed to keep it up for more than 6 years and actually improved and raised the energy up after the years instead of lowering the quality. Saludos, hermano!
I like sports ball! But only when you use your feet. Ended up here after seeing one of your more recent casts, and the on plus side of the Corona situation is I've gotten around to finally watching my first pro game of pro-Brood Wars. Very nice.
If you want to make your tracking smoother while observing there are a few things you can do. 1) Press space bar when you select a unit and it follows them so you see their vision. Good for following scouting probes etc. 2) Take your time to click on the mini map where you want to observe. A delayed jump to the right spot is better than moving the camera over from a bad location. 3) You can set hotkeys to jump to just like the players using the same buttons and f1 f2 f3. This allows you to set up specific zones you can flick back and forth from to cover multiple things happening at once
@timothy thao Pro matches in sc2 aren't very good even to this day. The reason why is the outcome tends to be pretty obvious most of the time. There are exceptions of course, but those matches tend to look more like Brood War then sc2. I think it's just the way collision works. The flow of units is too smooth, so only sim city ever really effects a fight all that much. Except for battle cruisers, their unique attack style is quite interesting. Overall, I would say sc2 just needs more time to develop as a scene. The balancing isn't really , well, it's not very good. It's pretty clear that Protoss stands no chance in tourney and zerg dominates. Serral and Reynor tend to compete against each other more then anything else.Clearly Blizzard hasn't quite gotten the hang of their newest RTS. It's a tricky thing balancing. But more then any of that my biggest problem with sc2 is that it just doesn't feel as grand most of the time. It's just...less impressive. Lot of little things. Hard to explain why exactly. But it definitely feels smaller. But maybe the newest patch that gave zealots their legs back and took out infested terrans will be better. #makestarcraft2broodwaragain I'm only mostly kidding.
@@yamchadragonball6983 Broodwar is good, but it get old so fast, and the diversity is laughable... always the same thing. What brings me back is the grim ambiance, and how strategies primes more often over macro, even tho said strategies are quite limitied in what they can do and on what they're based.
StarCraft needed an upgrade. It was time. It went super strong for 12 years. I do wish SC2 would have been closer to the style of BW though. With BW being remastered not to long ago it still brings in thousands of fans for pro tourney play entertainment. The game came out in 1998-99 & it still has a huge active fan base & big tournaments. But it’s mostly older fans like us that grew up playing SC & BW. I was 10 years old when I first played SC/BW on dial up Internet & that was in 2000 😂. I remember having to buy several SC discs at Walmart because the previous CD-Key not working or being stolen 😂. They needed to upgrade the game to bring in more newer younger fans. That’s what business do, evolve.
46:02 Jaedong was luring him into a hold position lurker trap, which you were looking right at. I love your energy but this is a big commentary miss man ;)
I'm really used to being just "Jaedong" as addressing him as a player or as "The zerg player" as addresing him as the zerg player, but "The Jaedong" feels like there would others out there... feels weird for me.
this chat in the beginning is sometimes because of lag. One player pauses and says lag. Could be real lag or could be a tactic to throw the enemy a bit off. In the replay you don't see pauses of course. And sometimes they just chat, but I think normal chat is unusual in korean matches..
35:28 I think this was more-so for his own sake than because he felt like he actually lost that game. He probably could have kept going, but I feel like he must have felt that he made a big dumb-dumb move that he would never normally make because he came out of Game 1 with a lot of extra confidence due to just how much he completely manhandled Pure in it. Then he made a big mistake by initially starting to pull back and then redeciding thinking he could totally take that army, which is just a very uncharacteristic move of him, and I think he realized that and just wanted to take the L and reset and stuff.
Dude, love your casts. Your gentle voice makes it fun to watch. I mainly watch PvZ so you won't see me on other matchups. Maybe make more of those? Maybe try to make a poll which matchup is most often watched?
I have found in Terran vs protoss gameplay that a good counter to ghosts from protoss is dark templars. Their speed plus permanent cloak allows them to snipe Terran ghosts. Against Zerg the protoss speed lots and reavers work best against mass hydralisks. I use high templar in late gameplay not early cause they are very hard to micromanage in the heat of battle.
Hey, just a tip, but when you do these best of 3/5/7 series, if one player wins and it doesnt come down to the final game, maybe add some blank space to the end of the video so the outcome isn't spoiled by video length :)
was just reading comments looking if anyone else noticed that he missed some of the crutial moments in match, just because he is rumbling all the time, following scourges arround the map, not looking in minimap. To be honest i wanted to know who will win but i stopped watching after 3 fights..i caught myself cursing during match because i saw in minimap something fishy going on and idiot just kept singing or whatever he was doing..omg
For example, in 7:50 he's following a Corsair along the entire map while is followed by scourges, meanwhile, the pure's zealots are in JD's base. I mean...Falcon, take care of the important issues.
I've been following @Falcon Paladin for a couple of years now.... he's been constructively criticized about the minimap A LOT! He's getting better, but two years along, I suggest casting at slower game speed (I play fastest but replay at fast or less) or hiring a commentator to keep him from humming the game music while shtuff goes down on the minimap!
Falcon Paladin is a moron. I turn the sound off when I watch his replays because he's such a goof most of the time. If you watch enough of his replays you'll notice he routinely makes factually incorrect statements about the units and game mechanics as well. The thing is, if he didn't put up these replays who else would?
Ted Green no need to be a jerk about it. I haven’t noticed anything factual incorrect about units in any casts in the last year and very few in any even before then. Plus he’s gotten very good at following the action on the minimap
I have checked few videos, and this is THE Starcraft I want to watch - I'm subscribing. Just a question: are there others channels upoading SC1 pro matches?
Long time follower. Haven't had a lot of time for Starcraft or RUclips Starcraft. Was interested in the current SC2 meta and came to the first place I thought to check, and all the most recent videos are SCRM? Is SC2 dead? 60k subscribers, congrats! I understand the chances of this comment not being responded to are mathematically against me, and I don't hold it against you. I was hoping for some SC2 though. Awesome caster as always though, and keeping the community alive. Thanks for all you do.
Believe it or not I think that Zealot might have actually been microed anyway in order to tank the static defense as long as it can so that the other Zealots can fight longer. 29:00 Or it really is just bad pathing lol
If you want to follow stuff slightly smoother, you can always click on the mini-map and slowly drag the box around. It's not the most ideal tool, but it might work for you :)
Hey falcon I would like to point out dark swarm only blocks range attacks not melee and splash zelotes are pratacly immune against hydras in it if they get on top in the swarm
As much as I love watching e-sports, I have a hard time getting into sports. I think the main reasoning is that I personally am not athletic (2x spine surgeries nipped that in the bud) so I don't have a full respect for how skilled an athlete may be, but as someone who plays a lot of video games I can fully understand the skill they are exerting even if I can't put out remotely the same level of power.
I really like when you zoom the camera out. It's really cool to see more of the map and the positioning. Have you done a cast completely in the zoomed out option?
Ooof those storms.. Ouch.. I love every race, so I usually go random.. However I have like "phases" where i favot pickin a certain race for a certain period of time, and right now that race is Zerg, so it feels extra painful to see Zerg get mauled by psi storms lol
To the music i kinda expiremented with it ^^ and came to a conclusion ... it always the music of the person who saved the replay... exept a 3rd person is spectating then you got a 33,3∞ cance of any music
Zealots vs. Zealots (Zerglings), Zealots vs Probes (Drones), etc. You are a talented commentator. You make me feel so much better about myself. Thank you.
kinda curious, just found your channel. I feel I have a decent knowledge of SC-BW. How would I go abouts doing starcraft commentary? is it as easy as recording an audio track and putting that over a recording of you watching the replay? I'm super tired and atm I figure asking would be easier than interneting.
YEAHHHHHHHHH!!! Broooooooooooodwaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Ppppppppppppppppp0

You help me get to sleep almost every night with these. These are stressful times and instead of thinking a thousand thoughts and keeping myself awake, I just lay there and watch a replay and eventually I'm falling asleep.
I'm glad my casts can help. :)
Same broooo
@@FalconPaladin same here man love you ! ❤️
@@FalconPaladin yeh bro ur vids are relaxing. 💤 For sure !
same here
I love the casual commentary you give during the whole thing. Like discussing TV shows and stuff is super chill and it's awesome. :)
Glad you like my style. :)
Yeah, SC2 commentators are a bit over-the-top and loud, Paladin commentary is very relaxed and comfy
PLAYGUUUUUUUUUU
Whenever I'm at work and we're getting stuff done. I hear the Terran Music.
Yes! It's the best "OK, let's go to work people" music that ever existed!
Same!
30:55 the way he sacrificed that scourge so that lurker could advance without it getting attacked... so brilliant
39:34 you made me cough up laughing "Fear of zerg into the protos opponent's heart" :D
btw thanks for not swearing ever during those casts. Really appreciate it taking into consideration modern youtube trends
that allows me to listen to the casts out loud while doing cleaning up or some other mechanical things
You're welcome. I've tried to be really family friendly since the start. :)
I can never unassociate "high ground" from Anakin Skywalker, and it brings me endless chuckles in my brain matter
@ 7:57
Corsair Pilot deserves a medal of honor for superior flight tactics!!!
Jaedong? Best of 5? You spoil us, Falcon.
You know it. :D

Woohoo!
This is not a version of sc, it's sc
Love best of 5 series, I make a point to catch all your broodwar casts!
Woah, your voice was a lot different 6 years ago. Man, it is cool to see how you have managed to keep it up for more than 6 years and actually improved and raised the energy up after the years instead of lowering the quality. Saludos, hermano!
BEST OF 5!? Thank you so much Falcon Paladin
You're very welcome. :)
Excellent game, thanks for casting this. I would love to see you cast that classic FBH vs Savior game from 2007
I like sports ball! But only when you use your feet. Ended up here after seeing one of your more recent casts, and the on plus side of the Corona situation is I've gotten around to finally watching my first pro game of pro-Brood Wars. Very nice.
1:02:19 is one of my favorite plays ever in SC
Is you liked that see bisu vs jeadong first game the play by Bisu was insane
Falcon thanks for this. Your casting is getting really good at casting! And an hour and a half of Jaedong vs Pure is just wonderful
Thanks and you're welcome, Rocco. :)
If you want to make your tracking smoother while observing there are a few things you can do.
1) Press space bar when you select a unit and it follows them so you see their vision. Good for following scouting probes etc.
2) Take your time to click on the mini map where you want to observe. A delayed jump to the right spot is better than moving the camera over from a bad location.
3) You can set hotkeys to jump to just like the players using the same buttons and f1 f2 f3. This allows you to set up specific zones you can flick back and forth from to cover multiple things happening at once
That sneaky +2 muta carapace transition was so cool. 0 anti air
@37:25 we talk about starcraft and we talk about... MOOVIEZ lmfao nice voice crack XDXD
warcraft 2 music was also great, I still listen to the soundtrack sometimes
Mmmmm yes.
Falcon your commentary is really good man keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Ive hardly played this game in the last 20 years but Ill be damned if it isn't exciting to watch.
great games to watch and your casting is pretty cool!
sometimes I wish sc2 never came out lol.
it really took away a lot of hypes from sc1...and I like sc1 much much more
@Valek O'Keefe Brood war is way nicer to watch. Quit SC2 after WoL.
@timothy thao Yah. Sc2 has a much more dynamic game-play with major changes every year to the meta.

Thanks!
I love how he is target firing those Templar with the Hydras.
Thanks for the Expanse! SGU is my all time favorite. Thank you for the content good sir!
That Princess Bride reference had me crying with laughter
:D
I love the casting with the exception of when you say "The Jaedong", "The Pure", "The Flash"...
why?
I'm really used to being just "Jaedong" as addressing him as a player or as "The zerg player" as addresing him as the zerg player, but "The Jaedong" feels like there would others out there... feels weird for me.
whoa that's deep man
Plus it's incorrect grammar.
I often think SCV, probes and drones listen to Bee Gees Staying alive on little tiny headsets :)!
And they only die when their tiny little headsets are not playing the chorus!
cool i was watching this before a year or so back gl to meet you in game. peace

1:03:40 dts/sairs were out and those lurkers by Pure's 3rd would've gotten killed for nothing
Thank you man , ur great! Beautiful games!
I pop out at your party like a zerg-ling
You might want to tuck ur chain
Dang Falcon, this cast has a ridiculous amount of views. Awesome my guy!
Looking good! :D
Dude, love your casts. Your gentle voice makes it fun to watch. I mainly watch PvZ so you won't see me on other matchups. Maybe make more of those? Maybe try to make a poll which matchup is most often watched?
The matchup that is most watched is definitely Flash v Anything. :D
Lololol@@FalconPaladin
you are a really good commentator, congratulations
congratufreakinlations
I play Star Craft 20 years. Best ever game!!
can close my eyes and still be in the game, well done!
To get zerg music, try a ZvZ :D
One of the best storms i've seen so far...
32:19 the grinch grinches the cat in the hat

8:20 the overlords realize they’re late
Yes. Also WHAT THIS IS ALMOST 200,000 VIEWS
Falcon Paladin Heck! I didn’t even notice that! I just saw this in my recommendations and went back and watched it
37:30 I didn't know Infinity War was an expansion of Starcraft! Consider me a brand new subscriber. :)
Haha thanks for the sub. :)
Believe it or not I think that Zealot might have actually been microed anyway in order to tank the static defense as long as it can so that the other Zealots can fight longer.
29:00
Or it really is just bad pathing lol
U are the best starcraft commentator !
Greetings from Poland!
Greetings! Happy you're here!
"send in units forever and ever amen" i laughed aloud!
beautiful singing voice also!
If you want to follow stuff slightly smoother, you can always click on the mini-map and slowly drag the box around. It's not the most ideal tool, but it might work for you :)
Good idea! Thanks!
You're welcome!
Falcon Paladin you're better off using arrow keys, that's really smooth as well.
Grabbing the tile set moves you with the mouse, very very smoothly?
Classic rivalry thanks
No problem!
Hey falcon I would like to point out dark swarm only blocks range attacks not melee and splash zelotes are pratacly immune against hydras in it if they get on top in the swarm
EXPANSE is very niiiiiiice! Good job! Just like your battlerep! :)
As much as I love watching e-sports, I have a hard time getting into sports.

I get that. :) To each his or her own.
Archons are approximately 97.15% shields
You should cast some brood war from this season's map pool, for the first time in awhile it includes island maps, really amazing games to watch
If you can send me some of those replays, I'll definitely cast them. :) falconpaladin at gmail dot com. Or maybe point me to where I can get them.
Not getting the leg upgrade for Zealots' like skipping leg day at the gym.
thanks for your comments!
I really like when you zoom the camera out. It's really cool to see more of the map and the positioning. Have you done a cast completely in the zoomed out option?
Hahaha not yet! Interesting idea.
at 46:03, lurkers glitching, not attacking zealots?
sees title... hits like.
Ooof those storms.. Ouch.. I love every race, so I usually go random.. However I have like "phases" where i favot pickin a certain race for a certain period of time, and right now that race is Zerg, so it feels extra painful to see Zerg get mauled by psi storms lol
vintige falcon.
I believe the color is light purple based on the colors you can pick on the game
The shields are off-centre because the attacks are coming from that direction, at least I thought that's how it worked?
To the music i kinda expiremented with it ^^ and came to a conclusion ... it always the music of the person who saved the replay... exept a 3rd person is spectating then you got a 33,3∞ cance of any music
The Jaedong
"...this is what it's like to live on Auir..." 😂😂 3:46PM 9/16
this is how master plays
37:26 MOOHvies hahahaha
Zealots vs. Zealots (Zerglings), Zealots vs Probes (Drones), etc. You are a talented commentator. You make me feel so much better about myself. Thank you.
Can you link the Brood War Best of 5 you solo cast? Thanks! :)
It's right where you think it is.Thanks! :)
I like your casting very much :) im a noob and i would appreciate if you show the life bars of the units more often
I wish they made a version of SC2 with same units and parameters as in SC BW, but with SC 2 graphics
that corsair wasnt a illusion?
kinda curious, just found your channel. I feel I have a decent knowledge of SC-BW. How would I go abouts doing starcraft commentary? is it as easy as recording an audio track and putting that over a recording of you watching the replay? I'm super tired and atm I figure asking would be easier than interneting.
I use the GeForce Experience screen recording software that came with my NVidia card. All-in-one recording audio and visual.
You placed the ads well on your vid im not even angry
Does anyone know what jaedong and pure were typing about?!
love to watch broodwar pros playing toss
46:02 wtf ??
why are the lurkers not attacking ?
He is spamming the "Stop" command, so he can hide them and trap the protoss army.
