CrimsonDip yeah i got a blizzcon virtual ticket lol so i saw the trailer and a bunch of explanations he also has a building that spawns Infested for him but you can actually see the tanks launching Infested Civilians in the trailer they consume em then shoot em out the top like cannonballs and they explode on impact
How are we to move forward? *Armored column plows its way through the defensive line, supported by a tidal wave of infested* HAHA! BRUTE FORCE, CHERNOV! BRUTE FORCE!
And there I was thinking the numbers idea would overlap Zagara when i first noticed Stukov's preview, but then I looked again and saw... Diamondbiles?! Spine Tanks?!?!?!? Banshee spawners?!?!?! Contaminated Broodlings?!?! Battle Infestors?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I might pay $10 instead of the usual $5.
Definitely enough potential to give Yuri a run for his money even though Vorazun is the one with flyers on loan from Yuri's Collection Agency. lol Speaking of Yuri, I can just hear the brains inside Stukov's flyer... "Let's make some friends."
DuGalle killed himself at the end of the campaign, when the remaining of the UED were returning home...to Earth... right after Kerrigan win over the 3 faction that opossed her in the final mission...
Having mained Stukov in Co-Op for some time, he is my favorite. He starts out slow, but you honestly can just spam to win. All you need are your selectable units and your giant waves of infested and you can basically roll over the enemy, ESPECIALLY if they happen to be 'Toss.
JayborinoPlays As soon as I saw this video I knew you would've commented on it xD. Also as Kareem Jonson said we need Devours Children as a Commander, and also Jack Frost and Charlie Vane.
(This horrifies me. No, seriously, I find this army concept, and what I've seen of it, utterly spine-chilling. An army of the Infested led by an infested general, untold numbers of people who have been warped and demented, changed with to be Zerg, yet not Zerg, still partly human, but not enough to be called anything but a monster... the idea of a force like this existing and spreading, conquering and infesting others... it's the stuff of nightmares. Even more than the Zerg 'proper' to me.)
Siege tanks that can pull in infested and then turn them into leaping banelings that they can then shoot at enemies and structures while all the time use their spine crawler that they also have... in addition to deep tunneling. In siege mode. Wow.
Gotta say, the whole infestation thing really buffed out Stukov. If you've seen him in Brood War, he was fairly thin. (Probably just the SC2 art style)
i agree it will bring a whole new lever of strategy to pvp to add general ability's / army's into the frey. a lot worse if that info is hidden till you scout them an see what units they pump out lol
Leotox It would make things fun but it is simply too much to balance. The game is already hard to balance with just the 3 races, adding commanders will drive the team nutz.
이종현 my reason i nope. besides all the whiny kids who will be like oh stukov op or colossi op or muta too fast or ling speed op there is people out there that think that the tank rework is op i see it fine no more tankvac for me
Yes! New Zerg Commander. I can't wait to play Infestor, Infested Terran, Infested Marine, Flying Queen. And of course, Studov! I really can't wait to spam his Corrosive Blast.
stukov was never a front liner neither front liner support he is seen more as a commander or admiral since he is leading the army from his HQ so more likely he wont be on the front
Hello Duran, do you remember what you did to me? No, I am here to say goodnight, you sun of the beach! You say "never"? Nope, he was a front liner hero.
well i can give you that but you were using most likely zerg units than infested units apart from his infested terran spawning and healing(support) still not a front liner it was just a part of the mission he took as revenge if you knew the lore Narud or Duran killed Stukov then stukov got captured then became an infested and that mission he was more like a support unit that front line and it was personal for him. therefore who does not take revenge personal? He is a frontliner with zerg units but with infested he is not. zerg units require support but infested if they its ok since the reason of cost efficiency and when duran killed stukov he was in a ghost form(broodwar) and no ghost is front liner but sneaky flankers ehem. in the mission of Hots that stukov kills narud or duran he is a support units heals your soldiers corrosive to take out key units such as other supports and spawning infested terrans just like an infestor.
Look on Twitter. They have a poll of "Who would win: Stukov or Dehaka." I believe this is a teaser that Dehaka is the next co-op commander after Stukov.
So... Infested SCVs, and a range of Infested Terran buildings, Overlords, Diamondbacks that shoot /acid/, Siege Tanks with giant tentacles, that also fire infested terrans, infested Banshees, some sort of infested terran civilian structure that does mobs, the ability (top bar?) to infest enemy structures and spawn broodlings, Battlecruisers that can neural parasite and drop infested terrans. Oh, and Infested Terrans. You might have missed those. -- There's also been an Infested Bunker concept since HotS.
Finally, some proper infestation in the game. The Infestor unit, even in the Heart of the Swarm campaign, was underwhelming in its ability to live up to its name.
Anyone find it weird that Stukov despised his infestation so much so that Kerrigan Raynor and Artanis let Stukov finish Duran off, yet here Duran is infesting other terran? You would think he wouldn't want to inflict his own fate onto others
I do wonder which he is classified as, though honestly I would have to assume Zerg since there aren't many more good possibilities for Zerg commanders, while we still have a ton of terran NPCs that would work.
I wonder how a primal Zerg based commander can work. I mean, their life cycle is different to those of swarm zerg. Their primal hives were nothing like common zerg hives.
I can't wait for Stukov it come out. I always wanted to play as the Infested, when Stukov comes out, I will finally get my chance to use the armies of infested. I wonder who will be the next co-op commander to come out. I think they should do Arcturus Mengsk (or General Warfield) for Terran Dominion, Gabriel Tosh for him and his Spectre Army, Dehaka and the Primal Packs, and Carolina Davis (or Stone; AKA: Agent X74996R) for the Defenders of Man.
An interesting twist would be introducing Narud as a commander. He(?) would have to be debuffed a bit, sure, but it would certainly be an interesting twist.
Will probably be another terran just to balance out the numbers, Stukov is counted as zerg, which makes 4 zerg, 4 protoss and only 3 terran, and they do intend to keep them even.
I Mock ALL Hypocrites I doubt his buildings will require creep, or that his units evolve from larvae. And his workers will prbly be infested scvs... or maybe infested civilians xD I agree that he's hybrid but I think he'll play more like a Terran than a Zerg lol.
Broockle I think he spreads creep but doesn't need it to build on perce his units are infested bunkers and infested siege tanks so technically those are Terran units but his ultimate is a Ultralisk with Thor armor so that would be a Zerg units bit of both i guess
i could agree with your cause probs there be no inject but the massing of having melee units and zerg abilities will feel rather quite different from terran
when will it release? omg i wanna buy it coz em done with kerrigan and nova and I love both zerg and terran so this one maybe a hybrid or kerrigan and nova?
so...are stoky the terrans last co-op commander to "balance" the player base...and zergs last one 2? i still thought that he should hybrid the 2 factions but i am just curious, we are getting soon to the point wear the co-op commander are amount wise balanced.
The Shard The coop missions does not follow the actuall lore, some of the missions we got are literally impossible to repeat. And we got Queen of Blades Kerrigan aswell as James Raynor as playable commanders.

"I bring a whole new meaning to zerg Russian."
"my army might be monsters, but that make us strong"
I'll take that as a reference
oh my god Stukov was my favorite character in SC1 and I lost it when he came back in HotS. NOW HE'S A CO-OP COMMANDER IM SO HAPPY
I love Stukov's accent!!!!
Anyone else?
i like stukov and his accent
Where is the announcer cmon :c
'My army may be monstrous, but that is what makes us strong'.
11/10 best comment ever
OH... I want Stukov as announcer
THIS MAN KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!!
:( WHERE IS STUKOV ANNOUNCER
@@davidolofsson5231 ikr
Blizzard saw and missed an opportunity... how disappointing...
@@nuttmann worse - after this their victory is not assured.
Spine crawlers on tanks?? yes please.
nnot just that...the tanks can consume his own Infested Civilian units and shoot them like cannonballs that explode
Lavos2007 wut *mindblown*
CrimsonDip
yeah i got a blizzcon virtual ticket lol
so i saw the trailer and a bunch of explanations
he also has a building that spawns Infested for him
but you can actually see the tanks launching Infested Civilians in the trailer
they consume em then shoot em out the top like cannonballs and they explode on impact
+Lavos2007 is that a bunch of crawlers on bc ? I'm so confused
Those are not spines the're like the tube that the infestor uses to, well infest the target xd
How are we to move forward?
*Armored column plows its way through the defensive line, supported by a tidal wave of infested*
HAHA! BRUTE FORCE, CHERNOV! BRUTE FORCE!
hahaha I get the reference
comment of the year
Infested Resnov...the end days are upon us.
Only true players will remember this. Before it was ruined.
Kerrigan: Is it done, Stukov?
Stukov: No my queen, is has only begun.
He was the brains behind the wholenUED operation, making him a brilliant strategist figure. The swarm would be blessed to have him.
A Co-op commander that adds a Terran flavor to a predominant Zerg template? That should be interesting, and yay, Alexei's back! Again!
I wonder if Stukov will end up forming an infested Terran faction at some point?
Now that is a nostalgic character for me, from good ol broodwar
Edit: Those tanks shot out infested terrans!
Now this is my kind of Co-op commander *drools*
I want Stukov in Heroes of the Storm! He's such a babe
But he was.....
Edited for clarity
i think he will be like when alarak was new commander in heroesnof the storm he was new
Stukov is bae
He gives me the weirdest boner.
And there I was thinking the numbers idea would overlap Zagara when i first noticed Stukov's preview, but then I looked again and saw...
Diamondbiles?!
Spine Tanks?!?!?!?
Banshee spawners?!?!?!
Contaminated Broodlings?!?!
Battle Infestors?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I might pay $10 instead of the usual $5.
TheBrainandBrawn Siege spine @@
Definitely enough potential to give Yuri a run for his money even though Vorazun is the one with flyers on loan from Yuri's Collection Agency. lol
Speaking of Yuri, I can just hear the brains inside Stukov's flyer... "Let's make some friends."
Don't say that, Blizz might actually charge 10.
imagine if the UED Admiral was still alive to see Stukov and his new army....
Ẵłŧḿàx that or Stukov can turn him like him and probably kill himself again xD
Dugalle killed himself either after Omega or after To Chain The Beast in Brood War.
Biometrix it's been a long time since I remembered those campaign missions so yeah xD
DuGalle killed himself at the end of the campaign, when the remaining of the UED were returning home...to Earth... right after Kerrigan win over the 3 faction that opossed her in the final mission...
Polec Vlad Thanks. You're right.
Yeeeessss, my main man Stukov finally.
but alexei is a zerg or a terran commander? im confused
Gabriel Barsch Zerg
infected terran
Gabriel Barsch both
He is infested.
hes is TERG
Having mained Stukov in Co-Op for some time, he is my favorite. He starts out slow, but you honestly can just spam to win. All you need are your selectable units and your giant waves of infested and you can basically roll over the enemy, ESPECIALLY if they happen to be 'Toss.
I like how near the end when the infested battlecruiser not only has a tentacle in the the carriers but in all the interceptors under them too
Thk10188965 someone said the cruiser is the aleksander also. which is cool
This calls for a baddass cinematic with infested Terran hatching and swarming, New Gettysburg betrayal style,
Hahaha look great! Can't wait to have Spine Crawler hats :)
Never know who you can meet here)
JayborinoPlays eyyyyyyy
I want Devours Children as a coop commander
With the ability "Got em".
JayborinoPlays As soon as I saw this video I knew you would've commented on it xD. Also as Kareem Jonson said we need Devours Children as a Commander, and also Jack Frost and Charlie Vane.
spine crawler on the top of siege tank...what exactly did I just witness.
i feel u brotha
(This horrifies me. No, seriously, I find this army concept, and what I've seen of it, utterly spine-chilling. An army of the Infested led by an infested general, untold numbers of people who have been warped and demented, changed with to be Zerg, yet not Zerg, still partly human, but not enough to be called anything but a monster... the idea of a force like this existing and spreading, conquering and infesting others... it's the stuff of nightmares. Even more than the Zerg 'proper' to me.)
FINALLY!!! I was wandering when he'll be in coop. Cant wait!!
Stukov the infested terran. Now all we need are Matt Horner, Prince Valerian, Mira Han, Dehaka, and Rhohana
Yes finally our beloved Admiral
Omar Hesham vice admiral
Vladislav Morari yes, a little mistake :)
Siege tanks that can pull in infested and then turn them into leaping banelings that they can then shoot at enemies and structures while all the time use their spine crawler that they also have... in addition to deep tunneling. In siege mode.
Wow.
my favorite commander by far in both character and strategy.
well. ill drink to that.
He is just as badass as Abathur, but yet nobody tops Alarak on the badass scale...
Badass string identificated. Badass makes people select you more. Must evolve.
Evolution essential for the Swarm
I'm actually pretty stoked about this one!
Gotta say, the whole infestation thing really buffed out Stukov. If you've seen him in Brood War, he was fairly thin. (Probably just the SC2 art style)
Yes! Been waiting on Stukov!
Been waiting for this guy a looong time! :D
This is just great, I wanted to play an Infested Terran faction since Starcraft 1 :D And stukov is awesome, so hyped! :D
love you Blizzard
You proved that you are really listening to the player community :D
Yikes
I want this for the normal Multiplayer! XD
i agree it will bring a whole new lever of strategy to pvp to add general ability's / army's into the frey. a lot worse if that info is hidden till you scout them an see what units they pump out lol
nope...
Leotox It would make things fun but it is simply too much to balance. The game is already hard to balance with just the 3 races, adding commanders will drive the team nutz.
이종현 my reason i nope. besides all the whiny kids who will be like oh stukov op or colossi op or muta too fast or ling speed op there is people out there that think that the tank rework is op i see it fine no more tankvac for me
that would be basicly WC4
Yes! New Zerg Commander. I can't wait to play Infestor, Infested Terran, Infested Marine, Flying Queen. And of course, Studov! I really can't wait to spam his Corrosive Blast.
Stukov won't be on the field :(
GL vs Gal Samuel WHATTTTT? No Stukov? Oh my...Why take my NT150 with no hero?
stukov was never a front liner neither front liner support he is seen more as a commander or admiral since he is leading the army from his HQ so more likely he wont be on the front
Hello Duran, do you remember what you did to me? No, I am here to say goodnight, you sun of the beach!
You say "never"? Nope, he was a front liner hero.
well i can give you that but you were using most likely zerg units than infested units apart from his infested terran spawning and healing(support) still not a front liner it was just a part of the mission he took as revenge if you knew the lore Narud or Duran killed Stukov then stukov got captured then became an infested and that mission he was more like a support unit that front line and it was personal for him. therefore who does not take revenge personal?

I say we still need Gabriel Tosh, Selendis, Zeratul, and/or Dehaka for the future co-op leaders!!
I love all the new commander, they're all so original and different!
First video I've seen that has no dislikes :D
it just got one by some filthy noob
Wouldn't that be Duran?
Biometrix Duran is Narud :) and he is pretty dead :(
Vasily Selivancev not pretty dead. dead serious. get it get ir lololol
Jake Long Man I love hes voice."We will win this for mother russia."not for the swarm
i think that Battlecruiser is a hero unit(perhaps stukov himself) with the ability to control several enemy unit, like multiple neural parasite
Interesting point.
Favorit character for heart of the swarm
Awesome! Stukov was on top of my list for coop commanders! Can't wait!!
They should make Dehaka the next coop commander!!
Look on Twitter. They have a poll of "Who would win: Stukov or Dehaka." I believe this is a teaser that Dehaka is the next co-op commander after Stukov.
welcome back, old friend.
now to get him in HotS. I'm totally gonna dig him in coop for sure
Maybe we could get Dehaka next?
Can we please have Stukov's voice as a voice announcer?
So... Infested SCVs, and a range of Infested Terran buildings, Overlords, Diamondbacks that shoot /acid/, Siege Tanks with giant tentacles, that also fire infested terrans, infested Banshees, some sort of infested terran civilian structure that does mobs, the ability (top bar?) to infest enemy structures and spawn broodlings, Battlecruisers that can neural parasite and drop infested terrans.
Oh, and Infested Terrans. You might have missed those.
--
There's also been an Infested Bunker concept since HotS.
Chrono Pie They showed off the infested bunker monster a bit at Blizzcon.
Finally, some proper infestation in the game. The Infestor unit, even in the Heart of the Swarm campaign, was underwhelming in its ability to live up to its name.
My fav commander
I wonder if Stukov would restore or give sentience to the infested Terrans under his command?
This guy is basically the GLA commander of the Swarm
Anyone find it weird that Stukov despised his infestation so much so that Kerrigan Raynor and Artanis let Stukov finish Duran off, yet here Duran is infesting other terran? You would think he wouldn't want to inflict his own fate onto others
Russian accent very well...
Nu chto zh.... VO SLAVU ROYA!
Wait, he's NOT a hero commander? But... but... but... he was such an awesome hero to control in the campaign (for all of one mission)!
Don't worry, I'm sure we'll get him in HotS some day.
And those of us who don't play HotS? Bit of a moot point. It's still a huge disappointment.
So is he a "Terran" commander with Zerg influences?
He is special Terran with overlords and units with zerg skins and zombies
A TERG
A ZERRAN
jajaja
I do wonder which he is classified as, though honestly I would have to assume Zerg since there aren't many more good possibilities for Zerg commanders, while we still have a ton of terran NPCs that would work.
would be a good announcer too
Might choose his inevitable voice pack.
I knew it. It was either Dehaka or Stukov. XD
Wouldn't be the first time a UED commander used infested terrans.
I wonder how a primal Zerg based commander can work. I mean, their life cycle is different to those of swarm zerg. Their primal hives were nothing like common zerg hives.
my brain just exploded with joy and excitement!!!
i came too. no homo
Wow Co-Op is getting crazy! WaHooo!!!
Awesome !! but where is infested bunker ?
Perhaps this is a sign that in Nova Covert Ops pack 3, Stukov will make appearance
Where can I listen to new music that was added with Stukov? I'm especially looking for one that sounds little like music from star wars
0:30 Is... IS THAT A BATTLECRUISER THAT CAN NEURAL PARASITE?! AND SHOOTS LEAPING BANELINGS? WHAT
That's sooting infested terran like Infestors. xD
Oh reused animation. Shame.
is the same animation of popping infested terran eggs lol.
I can't wait for Stukov it come out. I always wanted to play as the Infested, when Stukov comes out, I will finally get my chance to use the armies of infested. I wonder who will be the next co-op commander to come out. I think they should do Arcturus Mengsk (or General Warfield) for Terran Dominion, Gabriel Tosh for him and his Spectre Army, Dehaka and the Primal Packs, and Carolina Davis (or Stone; AKA: Agent X74996R) for the Defenders of Man.
Okay, now this looks awesome!
General Stukov, you're shorter than i expected
YES FINALLY!!!
Stukov as a co-op commander = Zombie Invasion! I like!
I am so confused about what build order you would have.
and is it a new zerg commander or Terran?
Yeah but when can we hope to see him?
6 hours
he is not available on the na servers and they are already patched up to 3.8
Miracolieee
Wel SHIET
A commander so powerful it will bring your PC pain.
Sooo, which track is playing during this from the Starcraft OS? I can't find it.
I CANT FOCKING WAIT TO PLAY HIM! WHEN IS HE ARRIVING? :O
Алексей нормальный мужик, чёткий
Okay, that is pretty awesome
Welcome to the Nexus, Stukov!
An interesting twist would be introducing Narud as a commander. He(?) would have to be debuffed a bit, sure, but it would certainly be an interesting twist.
Martin Jurča narud is evil
Martin Jurča narud killed stukov in broodwar kinda. and infested him in sc2
So? Like I said, it would be an interesting twist. And I'm pretty sure that Narud does not consider himself evil - it's all about the point of view.
Martin Jurča the guy that resurected amon not evil.
Have you played Legacy of the Void? Amon does not consider himself evil either, he sees his doings as ending an infinite corrupt cycle of suffering.
Hope Dehaka will be the next co-op commander. Or Selendis.
Will probably be another terran just to balance out the numbers, Stukov is counted as zerg, which makes 4 zerg, 4 protoss and only 3 terran, and they do intend to keep them even.
Or Thrall....? xD
actually Stokov is both Terran and Zerg he is the first Hybrid class
which makes 3 Zerg 4 Toss 3 Terran 1 hybrid
I Mock ALL Hypocrites
I doubt his buildings will require creep, or that his units evolve from larvae. And his workers will prbly be infested scvs... or maybe infested civilians xD
I agree that he's hybrid but I think he'll play more like a Terran than a Zerg lol.
Broockle
I think he spreads creep but doesn't need it to build on perce
his units are infested bunkers and infested siege tanks so technically those are Terran units
but his ultimate is a Ultralisk with Thor armor so that would be a Zerg units
bit of both i guess
now THIS is a commander :D
When is we getting in the game? I want to play him .-. Lots of people too xP
stukov campaign confirmed?
I'm confused. Does this counts as a Terran or a Zerg Commander?
MarkaN half zerg half teran
Technically Zerg, but based on footage, I believe Terran players might be more comfortable with his playing style.
i could agree with your cause probs there be no inject but the massing of having melee units and zerg abilities will feel rather quite different from terran
both
TEEEEEEEERGGGGGGGG
when will it release? omg i wanna buy it coz em done with kerrigan and nova and I love both zerg and terran so this one maybe a hybrid or kerrigan and nova?
hybrid of kerrigan and nova*
He gives a whole new meaning to Zerg Russian
wondering if those infested tanks are bio or mech
Hi. When does this come out??? Thanks
Bringing a whole new definition to Zerg Russian.
Leviathan and battle cruiser mix? Sure sorry if my spelling is wrong
When is this guy coming out_
so...are stoky the terrans last co-op commander to "balance" the player base...and zergs last one 2?
i still thought that he should hybrid the 2 factions but i am just curious, we are getting soon to the point wear the co-op commander are amount wise balanced.
I know this is co-op, but can this be played as single player??
Put him on HotS! =D
I kinda like the ost...do someone knows its name?
so,when does he come out?
where is zeratul as commander??
Totally agree with you. I'm waiting for Zeratul, the master of the masters.
*cough*Zeratul's dead*cough*
Not sure how they would release him since Vorazun has taken the Nerazim commander role.
+Olav Lomeland and he's also dead.
The Shard The coop missions does not follow the actuall lore, some of the missions we got are literally impossible to repeat.
And we got Queen of Blades Kerrigan aswell as James Raynor as playable commanders.
So, terran or zerg? i mean, we got 3 zerg, 4 protoss, and 3 terran. So both?
