It's a lot of fun watching these old matches.

UNBELIEVABLE skill by both players, but man what a BEAST Jaedong is

Wonderful defence by Jaedong. I would have died to the first push. It was unbelievable how he held the aggression in this game.

Look at JangBi's face. Confidence oozes from him. The most confident SC:BW player ever, even when he was losing he didn't lose his face.

no dislikes. I shall repeat that: NO DISLIKES. AT ALL. Long live Broodwar and may it continue to bring the joy it has for the past decade...

갓제동.. 허영무가 울트라 의식해서 아칸 비중높이고 리버 추가하니까 그냥 러커 수 늘려서 버티면서 저글링 히드라 기본 유닛 물량으로 소모전 반복시켜서 결국 말려 죽임ㅋㅋ 허영무 입장에선 저그가 4가스 무난히 먹었고 당연히 최종테크인 울트라가 나올법한 상황이었고 센터싸움을 위해 아칸을 많이 뽑았는데 지키면서 소모전하니 답이없지

I miss how spread out brood war fights were. Made the battles seem so much larger than they really were x.x

이건 보면서도 어케이긴건지 신기함

Seeing this match I even get my palms wet, so much action in this game!

One of the greatest game my eyes ever seen

High skilled game, beautiful

No entiendo nada de lo que están diciendo, pero transmiten toda la emoción del momento, es genial ajajaja

lol that egg and also the gg timing is so perfect right when the two control groups of lurkers burrow next to all of his archons ... great game love zvp

If anyone was going to come back from that, it was jaedong. Jangbi almost had even bases and complete map control the whole time. Mistake was letting jaedong expand like 3 times for jangbi's 1 expand.

Dark Swarm casts a cloud over an area which prevents both friendly and enemy units (but not structures) under the cloud from taking damage from ranged attacks. Units under the cloud may still be damaged from splash effects. Lurker, firebat, and reaver attacks are not affected by the cloud. Units outside the cloud may still be hit from ranged attacks originating from inside the cloud.

That was a really amazing game, but I didn't think Jangbi couldve pulled it off once I saw Jaedong having so many lurkers.

Even though I like executor JangBi very much, Jaedong is also a very good person (not only a great player), so I'm not sad after *SPOILER* the protoss lost. JangBi has also put really great pressure on Jaedong, so it was a great close game. And he was having fun too. So, a really rare great game to watch.

such a higher skill cap in brood war then sc2. jaedongs talents are wasted in sc2

It's good to see such great games still taking place. BW forever !

SCBW is fucking EPIC !!!!!!!!

Wow... Jaedong and Jangbi = best game i'd ever seen

Amazing game.. jaedong is the best zerg player. He definitely is the master.

such an exciting match. it went back and forth for quite a bit until the last 5-10 mins

@ChronicRecords Also, there have been tournies with 100k + live viewers in korea.

Is archon attack a melee attack, i mean is it affected by dark swarm? Or is it a range attack that can miss?

Best game I've seen in awhile.

Love Korean hairstyle like some video game or anime characters

@ChronicRecords You meant not cluttered with fancy effects and sharp?

이제동의 눈물나는 감동 드라마

@ChronicRecords A sport is an organized, competitive, entertaining, and skilful activity requiring commitment, strategy, and fair play, in which a winner and loser can be defined by objective means.

@BloodKnightXII and will be, there are HoTS and LotV to be released, later balance changes. SC2 is very young so there's no point comparing it to bw as the game isn't full yet.

Jaedong doing it like a boss.. Playing ZvT vs Protoss and rapes.. It was pretty tense about 10 minutes or so though.. And so awesome as well.. :) :) :)

@Ko8e8 not just this map. I'm saying overall. Typically its zvp favors zerg, pvt favors protoss, tvz favors terran. Obviously that changes with player skill/ map/ etc

@ChronicRecords the key word "generally speaking", but starcraft is a special case, that's why it's classified as e-sport

it cheers me up when jaedong is enthusiastic :)

Jaedong unbelievable play

@Raz0rIG That's a good point, but remember that Zerg needs to stay a few bases ahead as well

Starcraft 1 had a long time to develop into the game it is today, you just cant expect starcraft 2 to be just as amazing after just so little time.

So it is affected by darkswarm? and what is the range?dragoon's is 6 with upgrade.

I think that the suspicions about JD's current state of ZvP can be forgotten now? His lategame is just untouchable, even after a serious disadvantage.

이제동 진짜 .. 이걸 역전하다니 ;

why did Archons move away from the Dark Swarm at 28:46? I thought Dark Swarm benefits all melee units and Archons are melee, aren't they?

29:29 Why did JangBi seemingly abandon the top left expansion?

there is also armor type system in bw. it's just not indicated if you mouse over their armor type. but there is, actually.

이제동을 잡을수잇는토스는 김택용밖에없군역시

Maybe should have put in a couple of ensnares near the end as well... That particular unit combination sometimes bugs out under ensnare

@kuukiyomenaihito my initial thoughts regarding the PvZ balance is that Zerg is a bit more favored in the match up. Unless someone brings up a convincing point of what the Protoss can do to stop a Zerg who plays perfectly. If Protoss and Zerg both play optimally with no mistakes, who would win? I currently believe Zerg would. if zerg controls their units perfectly, dodging storms, etc, compared to protoss predicting movements, and babysitting each unit to make sure they stay alive longer.

this is what i notice alot in protoss users too... they tend to make more units that they think is enough to break in then the next thing they know they're actually forgetting to expand....

holy fuck this was EASILY the best match of the entire year so far!

how could ever sc2 match with this pure awsomeness?

폭군>허느님

둘다 잘하긴 했는데 이제동이 너무 잘했네;;

@mognite i watched the video and it does display a case where protoss can keep the zerg down, but you're counting on the fact that the speedlot aggression would do dmg, if it didn't bisu would be behind and it would be 4v2 base ZvP. So if you assume that the speedlot works, only then protoss can keepzerg under control. if protoss can force zerg to make a mistake and find a crack in zerg's defense then he can win, otherwise if zerg plays optimally, protoss can't do much harassment.

안녕하세요 친구가 내가 라틴 아메리카 호의 원인에서 오전 노래나 아티스트의 이름을 알고 질문입니다.

range is 2 ( Muta is 3 for example ), don't have tested if it's affected by DS, but it must be. Even probes rave ranged attack of 1 range.

OMG WHAT AN AMAZING COME BACK AND PLAY GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Damn, that was beautiful. I wish there was a FPVod of it, from the perspective of Jaedong.

but archons do the splash damage under a dark swarm , right ?

@Lakegogo lol you're calling Jangbi young? You don't make a lot of reavers against ling/lurker/defiler. You'll just get constantly out-positioned by a more mobile army. If you go shuttle tech to carry the reavers then you risk the chance of getting taken out by scourge. Jangbi's army was very powerful but it had little AA capability.

와 역시 이제동;

허영무가 절대 못한게 아닌데 이제동 미쳤네;;;

the best game in starcraft history

You guys have to admit by watching this game, that zerg is a bit op in ZvP match up, Jangbi did all that he could and was harassing Jaedong and won every early game battle, yet zerg manage to just hold off his 4 bases for a while and recovered like nothing happened and slowly just kept overwhelmed the protoss despite that he won every battle before. Think about it strategically, zerg has nydus canals that can make every zerg base easily defendable while protoss has large but slow army.

I like protoss and can not believe Jangbi lost. it seems have won every battle

It's beautiful yes but I still prefer the graphics of BW. They are so RAW, I love them. You cannot tell me that the carrier or the archon for example look better in SC2.

SPOILERS --------------- @clifferd2001 however, the map appears to be very balanced. before this match pvz was 15-15. im really not sure how you argue for imba when protoss and zerg have had their share of great players. players like bisu and jaedong just make pvz and zvp look imba when they play. that said, jangbi played an incredible game, amassing archons like no one's biz. jaedong won simply with great map usage (lurk eggs) and placement (nydus, sunks, lurks)

@torridmankind not even in graphics. Too flashy, sometimes hard to see what's what, etc etc.

20+ years newer technology? you any source for anything you say? you cant upset anyone when you dont have an argument

why there is no subtitles? :\

Due to its complexity to play and microing, 100% agree

its fun to see only so few units fighting and only a few units mining the minerals after playing tons of sc2 where the macro is so much easier and automatic

thought jangbi had this one. jd played well to the maps strengths w/ those lurkers. gg

Why don't brood war players cast Ensnare on the Archon/Zealot army 28:49 let your units escape 29:17 split the army in two 29:35 split the army in two/ force the player to engage up the ramp 29:49 when the archons retreat you could have sniped some with your hydra/lurker

@lionelchu Did not see that. Still, I think it would have been best to try to save that expansion. He probably would have lost anyways.

jaedong is just a monster with lurkers and zerglings and defilers...

Perfect game from JD. For those bitching about PvZ consider how long JD was 4 bases vs 2 and still was only barely able to hold on. It's not the races as much as JDv is generally imba.

If people are comparing starcraft 1 with starcraft 2, you have to first compare it to were it was after two years, and also compare them without expansions. Starcraft BW is an amazing game because how the races differ but also because of all the choises each race has. If you compare starcraft 1 (w.o. expansion) with starcraft 2, I would say there are about the same. But I cannot wait for the final expansion for starcraft 2, I think it'll be way better than BW if blizzard does this right.

Wow that was an awesome game!

when will sc2 be this exciting???

I'm not playing Brood War...(only few games at weekend) but it seams mass lurker spam will work against anything that your opponent trow on field...off course you need to have some units around if siege tanks appear. Protos player played good but it seams nothing worked on this kind tactic.

@harizotoh7 there was a lurker egg blocking the entrance for him to defend it

awesome game by jaedong

Ive watched this so many time already I know when the commentators are going to scream

@mognite this is the game I was referring to Jangbi vs Hyun kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJ2Yq5CVzdiwmps.html see for yourself how behind zerg was and how easily it was for zerg to bounce back with the amount of larvae that can either be workers or units. as i stated before zerg is an exponential type of race, they spread like a virus,they are the type where if you let them grow to big, you'll lose. Jangbi should'vescouted the third better but it was so hard to kill that base when hes clearly ahead

자꾸 송병구래 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

the winner has been on fire lately but no match for the beast

@odiumisfun mass ultras verse mass archons is not a good idea. Mass lurkers are good because, they do splash damage, they are more ranged than archons, and tears up zealots (which usually accompanies mass archon composition). Not to mention the fact that mass ultras are very intensive on gas, while mass lurkers are not as much

HOLY CRAP JAEDONG IS BEAST!!!!

when a map is big, how much time does a protoss have to defend a far base from their army in order to react to a swarm crackling nexus snipe? in comparison, zerg has nyduls canals even faster acess to all their bases. as if their zergling speed wasn't enough. zerg can much more easily defend while protoss has to think ahead of zerg in order to give the proper defense because of how fast zerg army moves, or just make the zerg deal with protoss harassments, but again zerg defenses are tight.

4:25 Start

i'm happy to see sc bw match today, i love sc2 but bw is more nervous,more exotic =)

@mognite ok if you want to be technical, ill say this, if a player plays protoss and zerg the best a human can possible can, then zerg would win. I recently saw a game where Jangbi was against some zerg and he 2 gate zealot him and killed some drones and expanded as well when zerg was still at 2 bases, however zerg held his defense much more easily at his third base when he decided to get it than a protoss would if he was behind. it took a while for jangbi to win a game he should've easily won.

@Lakegogo seriously.... they are pro... and they are pros for a reason... i think they know the gameplay and strategy better... and its so easy for people to write what they should build... but its not the case then your actually playing the game!

이걸 이겨??

이제동이 가스멀티 한번도 깨진적이 없어 불리한적이 한번도 없었는데 댓글에 무슨 역전드립이지? 3인용맵에서 남은 스타팅 하나 먹으면 엄청 유리한 게임이구만

The game is like watching a typical hots pvz: Stargate opening>>Phoenix/corsair Mass gateway>>>denying expansions. Zerg eco crippled Lurker/swarm host.>reaver/collo/archon failes to push. Viper/defiler supports the rest. So why is what we see here better?

이걸 이기네

jaedong the destroyer of worlds!

Wow best game of the month :P

@mognite and i know ofc no human can play perfectly but when it comes down to it, if you see a long PvZ game who most likely wins? Zerg. Why? because there are more opportunities for zerg to snipe protoss fragile bases that don't have the defense power of sunken,spore,lurker. I've watched many games where protoss had to sit one full control group of units in front of one of his bases just to def it, when zerg could just throw lings everywhere and reinforce really fast.
