Feels good seeing old immortals, old collosus. Those units used to feel so threatening and powerful back in the days. Collosus used to demolish any ground armies while immortals were unkillable demons (the true nightmare of Terran mech)
I loved that one emp could completely wipe an immortal's shields. Great times
I've gone back to Brood War recently and I really think the thing that's been lost in LotV is how individual Protoss units are supposed to feel really hard to kill. Even one Zealot caught at a rally should kill a couple lings before going down in BW. Three should still close on a siege tank line and bait a couple splash shots before dying. That aspect of how Protoss feels, with the low number of extremely strong individual units seems to have decreased over time, ig with how units clump in SC2 it kinda changes that dynamic a lot too with how efficient splash can be on em
@@austinnutter3367just shows how protoss was OP back in the days
scarlett v bomber game 3 burrow banes for the win was pretty epic and one moment i will always remember.
That's legendary
that is not micro. it is more like strategic
May not be top 7 but I think one honorable mention would be MarineKing marine micro against baneling (I’ve forgotten who he played against but I believe it was the first time people were in disbelief that they can micro against banelings). It wasn’t the highest of levels if we compare to today’s standards but he was the pioneer and a gold standard back in the days.
was against KyrixZenith, sickest marines splits ever
It was a round of 8 match up. There were multiple good games, but the one on Shakuras Plateau is the one everyone remembers.
It's also why players started adding more zerglings in ling bane to make it harder to micro against.
Innovation's Helions vs. Life in the 2013 GSL group of death is up there for me. Bomber targeting seeker missiles onto his own Medivacs to pilot them into the middle of enemy death balls was amazing too, I think that was the 2013 MLG Winter Championship.
Hero showing some of the best Immortal+Prism micro of all time, holding against impossible odds, then proceeding to lose a Colosus for free and float 1k/1k is the most Hero thing I've seen this month.
this is a different hero though, liquid hero retired long ago
ByuN Reapers was some of the most ridiculous things ever in SC2.
These were epic. Here are other moments I remember. I remember a game were the ghosts looked like they werecaught out of position, literally surrounded as the main battle finished elsewhere and like 12 of them cloaked all at once and and the game ended right there. I remember a game where a zerg player was retreating with their lings and mutas, got down a ramp a suddenly a baneling bomb goes off and kills a huge chunk of the terrans; somehow in all the commosion it borrowed right on that ramp in plain sight and even playing it back I couldn't see it. I remember a game where the terran fleet was lured halfway across the map by an illusory army and a mining base was gutted in that moment. I remember epic Swarm Host, Brood Lord sieges with Queens and Spines that lasted forever and seemed unbeatable. Sadly I don't know who played in these games or when, I'm not that sort of fan, but I'm sure if it caught my eye maybe someone else may remember these moments too
Byun's baneling snipes also was super impressive, and any SC2 micro moments video without Clem is just ridiculous.
Clems micro is insanely good but he didnt make history with it in the same way they did back then. Clem was/is playing at the same time as Serral, Byun, Raynor, Maru and so on, its way harder to make a history defining micro play these days
Insane moments...
There is no other game in the world that can hype you like that.
❤
Shoutout to @Lowkotv for bringing us excellent casts of Starcraft 2 in these trying times
17:43 Micro Jackson goes god like
ZG is such a great caster. Loved her absolutely losing her mind in Serral vs HerO.
Scarlett's bane landmines versus Bomber. Man, that was sick! Also Serral's and Dark's infestors landing huge fungals would be cool to see (e.g., in Serral vs Maru the first time he got the 4-0 finals).
I'm glad ByuN Reapers were the highlight, dude is wild 🙌
The good old days when players were utilizing the Sentry
You forgot Maru vs Rogue in final of Dreamhack 2021 winter
Maru swiped off all those baneling, zerglings and lurkers with just bio units
(No ghost)
If you think it's hard to micro unit in starcraft 2, just wait until you try to micro a Dragoon up the cliff in starcraft 1.
Oh god, it's always such a pain 😂 Even worse wih those tiny-ass stairs in some of the campaign missions!
But I love SC2 micro too. It's got a different flavor to it. In BW, the players are struggling against the imperfections of the machine - terrible pathing, etc. etc. In SC2, the machine, the engine is smooth, responsive, basically perfect - so it's players pushing against their own boundaries, the limits of human speed and reaction times.
Oh, Has has had some sick micro moments too! It was always a nailbiter to see whether he'll get the cannon/pylon down or not. Mb look for some cheesy games with Bly or Dark too?
That was awesome, can't wait for the next one
Clem pulling Warp Prism bs against MaxPax is just heartwarming.
There are also many moments worth mentioning from TIMEs insane world championship run, a very clutch performance
Plays like this happen all the time nowadays. I want to see a play where a Zerg uses Infestors multiple times without losing them, that look rare even for pros, maybe drop Overlords could be used, Burrow and good reaction time and positioning, you always need an escape plan for Infestors. Micro in big battle is huge too, like for Zerg the way you go in with Zergling Banelings, running after clumps of units with move command and attack command while dodging mines while attacking with Hydra/Queen, Micro is everywhere this game it takes a very good eye and experience to see how hard it is to pull these sometime subtle moves. Best way to see Micro and Macro is with FPVODs. Nice compilation video. I actually played MarineKing and let me tell you his infantry control is just so sick, you think you got him and he splits perfectly at the last second, great game sense too. gg
There was this gamea year or two ago where the polish Zerg, Elazer, did some sick roadh drops in a ZvZ to snipe off queens. It severely hampered his opp's production and gained him the upper hand. I wanna say it was the same tournament where Oli became world champ? Or the European one where Clem took the whole thing? Damn, can't remember.
Mvp catching squirtles low stalker and zealot by baiting him into thinking the all in was over in their last game after Squirtle basically held was such a smart move, especially for that time.
I GOT CHILLS ON 10 SECONDS ( when you were there on 90% of these videos :D )
Noob: why are they named "Immortals"
hERO: "I'll demonstrate"
Partings Immortal Warp Prism Micro vs the Roaches. Insane Micro
Peak Byun, holly mother of god. It is art, pure and simple
There are San Zenith game(s) during season 5 that are mostly forgotten, but have some of the best original gameplay we have ever seen in SC2.
Also the Thorzain game on Tal'darim Altar against protoss in Homestory Cup. There has to be a top micro moment for Taeja too somewhere.
For some reason IPL created so many epic moments in SC history, although it wasn't that long around compared to other leagues. These tournaments somehow imprinted themselves into my mind, similarly to MLG
Hey hey! I didn't know Doa used to cast Starcraft! I miss him (and Monte) in the LCK scene.
there was one game that polt made a legendary bane snipe, I don't remeber who was he playing against with, but I remember it was an ice map
My top fav micro moment (unfortunately I can't remember who it was): Archon morphing in the middle of a PvZ battle, Ravagers throw a bunch of corrosive biles on the morphing archon and the protoss player pushes the Archon "egg" forward with his immortals, just enough for the biles to miss. Unique move, pure brilliance, within milliseconds of an intense battle.
I know this one. It was Stats...i can't remember the game though or who he was playing. Artosis was casting.
need Parting clips!
2:50 morph in DTs
That 1st game felt like gold league
2:37 the orbital could have scanned...
Great content !
Imagine body blocking a friggin elephant.
Great video!
These are some of the examples of why I think SC2 is best RTS ever made. Things that some players can do is mind blowing. Micro skill opens another layer of play in the game. Game like Age of Empires 2 in my opinion, is what comes out when SC2 takes a sh*t.
The Patience vs Trap base trade is probably my favorite moment ever
Parting slapping Dark fresh from him winning World Title with Immortal Prism micro is up there
Very very cool video, could you maybe show from which date and tournement it is ?
There are sources in the description if you want to watch full games!
@@EsportsStoryteller ty :)
Would you like to include the event/date of the match in future videos?
Recent Byun Dark game at ESL with reapers
Where is that play wintersrarcraft has like a meme, where sentries catch a massive ball of banelisks and high templar blows them away?
thats what we call content boys
For me, Parting's warp prism immortal micro against dark
Nice to see 😊
It was quite flashing when I saw the marine splits and the 'first' use of ghosts against brood lords. it was on shakuras plateau....was this both in one game or am i meshing up my memories? I think at some point you showed the match(es), so we good^^
Marine splits was a tug of war style game between kyrix and mkp on shakuras. Not sure about ghosts, maybe a nestea game on shakuras. It's been a while lol
It's pretty wild what was considered good micro back in the day, any diamond player today is capable of greater feats. Like the DT block, wow, he managed to click the DT around the enemy base every like 5 sec, what a great accomplishment. Hero's immortal micro is worse than mine, like wtf. It's really kind of embarassing to see these moments and the caster's reactions nowadays.
Where is Oliveira’s blink marauder against Trap?
Are you the SC2 voice overlay that I used???
I don't remmerber which game it was but MMA defeated a late game broadlord zerg army with only marines making a amazing concave (in form of a U) after a great flank
I hope to see to the big boy in The very next video.
Parting 4 gate blink against terran
Anyone remember that hots game on the beach map where a player made mass banelings vs mass thors??
It was Nestea vs Nada in WoL
Can you do legendary plays but for individual units?
I can but it'll be tough to choose the best marine/immortal/stalker and some other most common units
@@EsportsStoryteller Doesn't have to be the best, your video narration is enjoyable to listen to.
Бассет, это ты?
TLO running slow banes into marines and having them enter a nydus to protect them, then unloading them quickly into the marines.

Was an awesome play.
this video was too short ahah
huk vs naniwa
not to downplay that zerg micro ... but compared to the other footage it was the least impressive ...
but my god that reaper play :O
Nestea's hold was stupid. "congrats, you can just instantly perma-stun lock and entire Terran army. Great job.
