    The Wings of Liberty Speedrun is a fun mix of preparation, RTS skill and crisis management. If you're interested in running yourself, you can watch the full run here: • Wings of Liberty Speed...
    Or check out ZPR's World Record run that I learned the strats from here: • Starcraft 2 WoL normal...

    Just to clarify what is bound to be confusion: When on the "Faster" speed, the game and clock run at 1.4x speed, this means that a "30 Minute" defense mission on faster takes 21 minutes and 45 seconds real time.

      @@sigh6140 No it isn't. Believe me, I've done it and the mission continues. Zerg keep spawning out of nidus worms that appear constantly and flyers come from the corners of the map. You're probably thinking about "Welcome to the Jungle" or "The Dig", where destroying all the protoss structures will indeed end the mission early.

  • @WrathOfMega
    @WrathOfMega 3 роки тому +392

    The bridge in A Sinister Turn extends either at a certain time (3:30?) or when 5 units are produced - and it counts units the AI makes, so it trips early because you used the DTs to kill a bunch of Tal'darim in the right base and then the AI replaced them, setting off the trigger. I figured this from copying the strategy from the 'hard difficulty without producing units' speedrun on youtube for the 'Hurry up it's raid night' achievement and because the Zeratul missions are kinda shit so I like to just get them out of the way ASAP.

      you're gonna be in for a treat though. Grant has been doing a "community challenge run" of wings of liberty and twitch chat is not kind.
      The rules are as follows:
      Every story arch twitch chat gets to ban 2 units ( except for the 1st arch which only has 1 unit ban)
      Twitch chat chooses Grant's research and mission order
      every mission, twitch chat comes up with and votes on some sort of challenge. this can be anything, and is only limited bytwitch chat's willingness to watch the same stupid mission for 2 hours (outbreak, moving out only at night, with hellions, hellbats and medics is not easy)

    Grats on 3rd place! Going to watch the full vod soon I hope.
    Side note.
    Seems your making up for all the units that couldn't die in the last series.

    Great video! I've really enjoyed this as well as your deathless runs. Have you done any starcraft remastered challenges, or would you be interested? Also another heart of the swarm challenge/speedrun would be awesome, I love my zergy bois

    got scared thinking of how many times you had to reset when units died
    then i realized it didnt matter here
