AWESOMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Effort's move at 29:42. He turned a hydra into a lurker egg to survive the mine explosion, then cancelled it to save money but still drag some more splash damage onto the tank. Wow!!
22:30 The queen shenanigans against terran is probably the smartest move, also one of the hardest to execute... This has probably been the best queen manœuvre I have ever seen, effort didn't give up because he lost a couple of queens, he kept pushing on (I think queens are cost-efficient, only 100 minerals and 100 gas, but the energy is the problem, they should require 100 energy for spawn broodlings, since it's a bit limited move). The only thing we missed here was an infested terran command center. 😅
No way.. 100 energy would be too good. Probably even 125 would be too good, since you would be able to cast it twice. Maybe something like 130 so you can cast the 2nd a little after the 1st, in case the queen survives. If it were changed to require 125 or less, then the spell should be nerfed in some way (e.g. less range) or maybe make queens more expensive.
Love this match. I did see parasite being used in the match. So cool. Also, I remember using queens in the past and if the queen dies before the spell has reached its target. Then the spell fizzles and does nothing. Great job casting. :).
it always seems like people are a bit surprised when they see Hydralisks vs Mech but really if you run the numbers, it makes sense: 1. both cost-efficiency wise and supply-efficiency wise, Hydras are more efficient with their HP and DPS than Goliaths are, and Goliaths are Large, so there is no size dps disadvantage between the two of them. 2. hp and dps are identical to a Vulture. they are more supply efficient, but less cost-efficient. in Vulture vs Hydra, Hydra does more damage to a Vulture than a Vulture does to a Hydra due to Hydras having Explosive damage and Vultures having Concussive. 3. they are ranged and thus can clear spider mines out without theoretically taking damage, unike any other Zerg ground unit (other than Lurkers and, i guess technically, Drones). 4. they are larger than Zerglings by a decent amount, and thus take less splash damage from Siege Tanks when clumped up. they are Medium, though, so they take more damage from a Siege Tank's attack, which might cancel that out. 5. just like in TvP, if you can trade a Dragoon for a Tank, you're coming out on top of that trade. Same thing with Hydralisks, but, frankly, better, because Hydralisks are much cheaper and can be replaced even faster than Siege Tanks or Dragoons can. While Dragoons do take 1 more hit to kill from a Siege Tank than a Hydralisk can take, Hydralisks are also slightly faster than Dragoons, so this might end up cancelling out.
God I love watching Zerg win versus Terran. I always thought Jaedong was the best of all time but at the end of Effort's big run I think he put up a good argument as #1, especially in that OSL win vs Flash.
WOW. Every time I thought one player was winning it suddenly swung in the other direction. Had no idea who was gonna win until the end. Definitely deserved the epic tag. Great video!
i have been watching for over a week now, gotta say i am liking the content each and every time, the runs and the fights and all the sets.. great content . Hearts !
I'm pretty new to your channel but this must be my favorite match so far. Absolutely amazing. Your casting was excellent (as always), the level of play was out of this world, and the queens... the queens!!! I don't know if there's anything more satisfying in Brood War than using them to pop siege tanks en masse. The count at 20:00 went from 8 to 1 in the span of literally two seconds.
this is another example that queens work :) i managed to win ZvT with queens sooo many times :) queen is the hard to snipe and if zerg player gets enough resources to produce them 8-12, they make every major battle win for the zerg side. anyway i think you guys get it 😆😆. Superb match, Superb presantation as always :) Thank you 🙂
I can confirm ships will often try to retain morale after crappy news by giving out some good eats. The Galley keeps a small underway stock of the good stuff just for those situations. Mongolian beef, lobster, steak, chips/salsa. They usually break out the ice cream and like bagels with cream cheese and just leave it out for everyone to grab as long as it last. It does work too. For that short moment the crew will kind of forget about the suck they were just informed of and enjoy some leisure time if your not unlucky enough to be on watch during.
first time I see a Zerg actually win with Queens being useful, most time I see people win with Queens usually due to they are already winning. They should buff Queens by making broodings last 5 seconds longer and a bit faster move speed.
Effort couldn't have done a more in the moment yet it looks like textbook design. Starcraft just shows that utilize each unit effectively using age old tactics (like mech which is powerful in its own reason). Superb by both players
What's amazing is how insanely fast effort used that spawn broodling, even running on top of science vessels. He knew if a group of them got EMP'D more than once, he'd lose the game
Not gonna lie i would’ve unsubbed if this didnt get an epic tag. My mouth is still dropped from this game. Was an honor and a privilege to hear you cast it! Phenomenal game.
who noticed the lurker egg the zerg made next to the tank in case the tank didnt die the other tank would hit the lurker egg and kill the low HP tank from splash damage, but since the tank died he cancelled the lurker egg! Sick play!!!!
That was awesome. I hate hydras against terran but I guess if you broodling all the tanks they can at least handle the rest. Big if though... I like the little pokes with the queens and not just send like 15 at once, they get one spell and die. He would send little squadrons. 👍
People who dont think this game is at least relatively balanced is crazy. Love this game, happy to come back to old casts and give them some love again
I lagit "whooped" out loud when I saw todays match up. Light v Effort or in other words, my favorite player of all time v my other favorite player of all time. 50 mins ...... "That's the stuff"
Man, I just can't help but root for Zerg. It always seems like an uphill battle vs Terran. QUEENS. Edit: You know what, fuck it. I'm joining the Patreon.
Dont know what the yellow was doing most of the times. Many fantastic openings and micros, just toying with purple, just to the next second standing unattended and lose momentum... EVERY TIME... What was that?
Another z v t in the early morning?! A perfect excuse to stay awake even more! Thanks Paladin. Love your videos!
AWESOMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love Effort's move at 29:42. He turned a hydra into a lurker egg to survive the mine explosion, then cancelled it to save money but still drag some more splash damage onto the tank. Wow!!
Seriously gosu!
Excelent move you saw there God level micro👌
Dude I love how the tension never drops at any point, great play, great cast, thanks Pal !
One of the best zvt matches ive ever seen. These guys deserve a standing ovation for how well they both played.
44:05 that's sick fight! 151 / 109 supply turns into 59 / 93. Gosh that's so powerful

No ultras, no wraiths, no battlecruisers, no guardians, no devourers though.

Only person to do it better was Larva, with his feet.
That was probably the best SC game I've ever seen!
Coz someone used queens.
What a game this is. EPIC in the best sense of the word. GJ Falcon, keep it up. Fantastic.
Love this match. I did see parasite being used in the match. So cool. Also, I remember using queens in the past and if the queen dies before the spell has reached its target. Then the spell fizzles and does nothing. Great job casting. :).
That was pretty freaking epic, nice casting FP! Really loved this match!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love how zerg won by coming back to the fundamental units: zerglings and hydras. The true power of the swarm!
So proud of Light for transitioning.
In all seriousness, it's one of the few matches where i couldn't guess who would win until the last minute.
That queen control was so impressive! I don't remember seeing queens used so efficiently before.
it always seems like people are a bit surprised when they see Hydralisks vs Mech but really if you run the numbers, it makes sense:

The Queen play this game was insane! Love it. Definitely deserves the epic tag.
nutty game. For sure thought Zerg would fold. That queen play though was the game changer.
God I love watching Zerg win versus Terran. I always thought Jaedong was the best of all time but at the end of Effort's big run I think he put up a good argument as #1, especially in that OSL win vs Flash.
Zerg crushed terran with ground troops? Using Queen very effectively, at the same time. Respect to Effort!
WOW. Every time I thought one player was winning it suddenly swung in the other direction. Had no idea who was gonna win until the end. Definitely deserved the epic tag. Great video!
This was like Tyson vs Holyfield. Lol great great match!
Holy fuck that was intense. Already 49 minutes?! That shit flew by... tension didn't drop once lmao
When Obama was watching the Bin Laden raid one of the things the White House did was specifically remember to order generic pizza that day.

Hey, welcome to the channel! This is totally one of my favorite matches for sure. :D
dudeeeee back to back epic uploads, we are spoiled this week
this is another example that queens work :) i managed to win ZvT with queens sooo many times :) queen is the hard to snipe and if zerg player gets enough resources to produce them 8-12, they make every major battle win for the zerg side. anyway i think you guys get it 😆😆.

that almost fiddy minits... im down with it...
Falcon's genuine chuckle towards the 🕷 mine/drone mayhem. Epic. Haha
That was truly an Epic battle. That was non stop. For 40 minutes straight
This was beyond amazing. I could not stop watching it :)
When Effort enters beast mode, is such an amazing Zerg player to witness.

Best 49:03 mins of my life! 🤘🏼
Effort couldn't have done a more in the moment yet it looks like textbook design. Starcraft just shows that utilize each unit effectively using age old tactics (like mech which is powerful in its own reason).
Superb by both players
Lmao love the into commentary Falcom
Awesome, another great queen usage, beautiful comeback, exciting from start to finish, GG!
One of those few games that a zerg player wins out of queens 👑💯
what an awesome game. pleasure to watch. thanks falcon!
Incredible game!!! Thanks for sharing!
You bet!
Dang, solid game here. Nice cast Falcon
What's amazing is how insanely fast effort used that spawn broodling, even running on top of science vessels. He knew if a group of them got EMP'D more than once, he'd lose the game
Not gonna lie i would’ve unsubbed if this didnt get an epic tag. My mouth is still dropped from this game. Was an honor and a privilege to hear you cast it! Phenomenal game.
Truely EPIC game. Amazing how much Zerg can keep pushing.
33:18 zerg swarm, ok this is insane
On Navy ships, if the captain has bad news to share, the ship will serve steak, lobster, and ice cream
So I have heard, yes.
The top players are so good it blows my mind how they can do everything so fast
who noticed the lurker egg the zerg made next to the tank in case the tank didnt die the other tank would hit the lurker egg and kill the low HP tank from splash damage, but since the tank died he cancelled the lurker egg! Sick play!!!!
35:52 effort triggered mines and ran a hydra into the vults 💯
I love your videos. You're my favorite caster and a great person in general.
Wow, thank you!
I think this might be the fifth or sixth time ive had to type out "that was the best game of starcraft ive ever seen." on your channel. Thank you!
Of course!
I think this is the first game I’ve seen that queens actually worked epic game indeed
Colorblind here. Blue/yellow is good!
Falcon Paladin comin' at yah!
beautiful lol thank you for this
You're so welcome!
everything has been so crazy lately that i was not surprised at all it was december
omfggg whatt a godly game ! ! ! my heart was racing lolll hilarious fp voice n commenting too woww
Nice game! Not often you see a queens play in starcraft
If queens spells cast and immediately die, before spell being reached to its target, the spell will not work. Its the same with all queens' casts. =)
I’m in the navy falcon it’s true. If we ever get the lobster and steak night it’s bad news because that means we aren’t going back to land on time
Longest TvZ lol 🤣💯🔥
Queens pulled it off!!! Awesome!!!
That was awesome. I hate hydras against terran but I guess if you broodling all the tanks they can at least handle the rest. Big if though... I like the little pokes with the queens and not just send like 15 at once, they get one spell and die. He would send little squadrons. 👍
Still watching old videos , good game is good game even if its old replay.
this deserved the epic tag for sure!!
19:21 do they have speed?
I'm laughing my butt off at giving armed forces personnel good food :-D
I don't think I've EVER seen emp used in a TvZ. Holy shit.
People who dont think this game is at least relatively balanced is crazy. Love this game, happy to come back to old casts and give them some love again

This is the way I like how you pronounce "remastered " 😃👍.
Keep up the good work brother!
FalconPaladin is going to star in CSI: Koprulu Sector XD
TvZ is classic. The brave humans pew pew the yuckies!
Man, I just can't help but root for Zerg. It always seems like an uphill battle vs Terran. QUEENS.
Edit: You know what, fuck it. I'm joining the Patreon.
Thanks for joining! ❤️
AMAZING MATCH!
wow that was an intense game!\
terran should have pushed before 20 minute mark. at 22:00 he loses his whole army
this game was just amazing, zerg micro was great !
Some say early morning, others (myself), say it us the reason to stay up late!
P.S. I am in CA and have 4 children
Terran dwellers we must unite!
I just started playing again looking at playing tips
Great game! Wow!
while i watching, i realized i missed this one
How old is this replay ? ...
Amazing game!)
i am the future. i am zerg!
Circuit breakers is a barren wasteland filled with the broken dreams of thousands of South Korean youth...
Dont know what the yellow was doing most of the times. Many fantastic openings and micros, just toying with purple, just to the next second standing unattended and lose momentum... EVERY TIME... What was that?
What. A. Game!
even the observer players have more APM than me in a game :)
What a game!
Holy. Shit

respect.
who is more pro, falcon or madden?
Holee good freaking game!
I AM A STARCRAFT FAN!!!!!!!!!
