dkingmarco Of course? Are surgeons paid if they fail to save someones life? Ofcourse they are. Are lawyers paid if they fail to win a case? Yes. Thats how it works
In this case, about 20 battlecruisers was inside the vortex. Let's say the archon damage is about 25, it means that in the moment the vortex is released, each archon will do 5000dmg per attack. The reason this moment was epic is due to the fact that its very hard to get so many battlecruisers inside one vortex in pro-level games. It was actually a huge mistake by Mvp, as he forgot to split the units.
Vinemaple This kind of excitement doesn't just translate across physical sports. I wish there were Super Starcraft Sundays or something lmao. Professional gaming should be much, MUCH bigger in the US.
The first ever competitive StarCraft II match I ever watched was this one, and not only was it the best possible game for getting into it, but I saw it live in person at AX-Korea in Seoul. I might be the luckiest gamer on the planet.
Yeah to everyone who comments on how the terran sucks... MVP is a legendary SC2 player, he didn't play correctly here but none of us would even have the chance to even lose like he did
Well, to put it simple, the archons (The blue balls) attacks has splash damage, so if you group too many units in the same spot, each archon will do tons of damage. The vortex makes all units in an area disappear for a few seconds, and then every unit is released at the same time in the same place. So, if you throw lots of archons in the vortex, when they are released, each archon will do damage to every unit that was inside the vortex.
I still come back and watch this from time to time... just for the Archon Toilet and to hear everyone from the commentators to the crowd just losing it..
i dunno wtf was up with MVP. You could just A-move to victory with that huge number of battlecruisers. It's freaking easy to split bcs and avoid huge splash from archons, not to mention almost 1/2 of Squirtle's army was trapped, mothership dead and void rays weren't existent. He freaking decided to become cute and make nukes and just gave the protoss time to remake Mothership and charge energy for vortex and enough time to make enough void rays. I mean.... i really don't know what's up with MvP
This was not the greatest moment. This was one of the saddest and most heartbreaking moments in SC2 history. MVP absolute dominated him throughout the ENTIRE game then decided not to split up his BC's even though he knew he had a vortex and lost the game. It was so tragic.
typical blizzard balancing 1: Streamer does it on a big event "wooooow that was so epic 2: a couple of weeks later everybody does it on the ladder "wooooow thats so overpowered" 3: blizzard nerfs it "woooooow its absolutely useless now"
When I saw this video, and saw this many battlecruisers, I got excited. I though, "Hey, this guy will have to do something pretty creative, skilled, and interesting to get out of this." Then they mentioned the archon toilet and I was like "oh, right. Protoss."
Good for the Protoss player for not giving up, but lets be honest the Terran player lost this game. This is a perfect example of one player losing the game instead of the other player winning it if you know what I mean. Why the Terran player didn't push when he had the vastly superior army I will never know, but if he had pushed when he should have instead of just pussy footing around he would have won decisively.
This is more of an epic fail on the Terran players part rather than dominant play from the Protoss player, but hey a win is a win. The Terran player should have played better until the end.
"this is a good example of one player losing the game instead of the other person winning it." I don't know about you, but doesn't every game end with one player losing and the other winning?
+Mason Bliss Mother ship used to have a vortex ability that sucked everything near it into it, when the units come out they are clumped up. Archons have AOE damage (area of effect) so if you flush them down the vortex with the enemy army (that is why it is called archon toilet) you can kill the enemy army almost instantly because archons just do an extreme amount of damage. Voidrays also east battle cruisers if they are not in the masses, so with the vortex the protoss player separated them and let the void rays finish off the escaping battle cruisers.
+Mason Bliss They fixed the vortex ability backin the Wings of Liberty days. Units that leave the Vortex were immune to damage for a short amount of time. Idk if the ability is still in LotV.
Pretty sure you are thinking of the final game between NesTea and Mvp during the final match of Blizzcon 2011 Invitational. The game lasted 42 Minutes, involving epic baneling/nydus/drop, ultralisk, nuke, ghost snipe, and broodlord play.
George Bush To be fair, Voidrays at that time were literally designed to kill Battlecruisers, and he tossed a bunch of storms on him while they were still spreading after the Vortex. In short... Battlecruisers die to a protoss anti-battlecruiser strategy and unit combo? PROTOSS OP
It's called an "Archon Toilet" because when everything pops out of the vortex the archons deal splash damage, and everything is forced to pack together so the splash damage gets obscene.
lol, the fact that you did not pressure enough to let protoss to own a mothership and did not even use yamato cannon to snipe it down is protoss fault.
It was cool, but Tastosis hyped it up a bit too much. It certainly wasn't an Archon toilet - it was a vortex with a bunch of units nearby, waiting for the BCs to pop. If anything, you'd call it a Templar Toilet, given that Psi Storm seemed to do the most damage after the pop. Also, I saw a few comments here, but toilets have been done in various iterations over the course of SC2. In particular, in team games you can throw Zerg and Terran AoE damage into the mix - I've seen Baneling and Nuclear Toilets myself, and in particular I find the Nuclear Toilet quite impressive due to the timing involved.
Am I talking like someone in code S? I just thought I was talking like someone who, y'know, doesn't call a thing a name it isn't just to hype it up. I wouldn't have had a qualm if they were like "it's as close to an archon toilet as we've seen in a pro game", as that's actually true, whereas straight up calling it an archon toilet is, being generous, a huuuge stretch.
Haha, I wish; that would be hilarious. :-P I actually really love the archon toilet and love seeing it in action - that's why this was disappointing to me. ;-)
You're defining the toilet as the unit that goes into the toilet. I disagree with that - while you couldn't split the difference between a Baneling toilet or Archon toilet as both those units need to be in virtually-melee range to deal their damage (and thus go into the toilet), a Ghost/Nuke toilet is named as such due to the AoE damage that is dealt to the units. As such, the name is based on the AoE damage/unit, not the units entering the toilet. In this case, there were barely any archons at all (from memory, and I'm not watching it again), and while I love a genuine Archon toilet, this was underwhelming at *best*.
Mark Harris yeah, they were overly exaggerated back then. In WoL, they're annoying. Overly biased (cough, NesTea), overly exaggerated, overly selling things... right now artosis and tasteless are great technical casters. They are not overhyping things anymore. at least they improved.
Huh... that was... kinda boring. maybe if I had watched the whole match I might not have been bored, but I doubt it. I don't know why, but, something about that battle just did not entertain me.
Not sure how a boring starcraft match makes me a sociopath, but, OK, I will roll with it. I have actually questioned my sanity a couple of times. At about the time you fantasize about ripping a person's throat out with your teeth, I think you may have slipped a little bit beyond crazy. Though, I am not sure what starcraft and me going crazy has to do with each other. I would ask you to explain your logic in that statement, but I would prefer not to have a migraine today. Side note, please tell me that your "virgin" line was not meant to be an insult. There is no way you were trying to hurt my feelings with something like that, were you? Cause, wow that is pathetic. If you want to insult me, choose something that I give a crap about. I am a virgin, I PLAN to die a virgin, and I am 100% OK with that. Seeing the relationships my brother and sister have been in, the bullshit that comes with a relationship is just not worth it. But hey, if you want to give another attempt at insulting me, just say so and I will gone you all the material you need. Bring on your best insults, I wanna see them. Maybe for the first time in years, I will actually see something good.
Devon Stark You know, I knew there was a major difference between the two, but I couldn't remember what it was. But, put that way, just wanna say, I actually used to have a friend that I am pretty sure was a little sociopathic. Little wack job was hoping that his dog, the dog he had since be was, like, six, would go rabid just so he could get the chance to shoot it. He WANTED to get the chance to shoot his own dog. That... that kid kinda scared the crap out of me some times. Only thing you can say to a person like him is: "Dafuq is wrong with you?" I only went on that little rant cause I wanted to screw with the guy. Apparently it worked cause it quite effectively shut him up.
Mikanoes I think your friend might have been Psychopathic going by your description rather than sociopathic. A Psychopath would be eager to kill or mutilate his dog. To destroy it on some level. A Sociopath would have had that dog for all his life and seen no (or little) difference between killing it and stepping on and ant. Or killing a friend. Because the emotion of attachment would be a mystery to a sociopath, or other emotions might be. That's why its not typically easy to diagnose sociopaths, there's such variety.
Guys help me out. There was a Terran vs Zerg macth at MLG or a major gaming event. I believe it was a Shakura's and it was like a hour long game. The Zerg and Terran both had huge armies but didn't want to fight, every base was taken, and I believe the Terran had nukes and started to nuke the Zerg's bases, and he didn't know what base it was cause he had so many. I hope you can help me, it was a one of a kind game. And hope i gave enough examples about the match.
Should add that this moment was made possible by the one and only Startale_Legend, the GSL spectator. If he had shown the mothership pop or the mothership before the vortex...
MVP had a shit ton of battle cruisers. Squirtle teleported a portion of his army to destroy one of MVP's base where they was no other way to get out but to teleport back. Everyone thought that Squirtle was going to lose but he came back with a mothership and fought against MVP. He used the mothership to suck in most of the battlecruisers and summoned the rest of his army. He destroyed the cruisers and pushed to win.
I probably play more physical sports like soccer than video games but StarCraft is the best spectator sport ever, hands down. The thrills, chills, plays, suspense and tension man
It wasn't one spell... It was vortex + void rays (bonus to massive) + Some number of High Templar Feedbacks+Storms on BCs with full energy + 3/3/3 Archons after vortex + 3/3/3 Stalkers (bonus to armored)
With that many nukes being made, he was either in a use it or lose situation He had the game in his hand but decided to fuck around and not just wipe out his main and paid the price
Sky Terran is one of the best unit compositions in the game. In TvT if you're in mech stalemate, your drops are ineffective etc. BCs can break siege lines. You need more than 1 or 2 though, and Vikings can help kill the other player's BCs. This situation takes a while to develop. That hour long Boxer vs Rain game is an example with BCs, Vikings and Ravens against each other.
This game is so innovative. Look the diverse and unique army compositon that consists of BattlecrusierBattlecrusierBattlecrusierBattlecrusierBattlecrusierBattlecrusierBattlecrusier and the opponents ArchonArchonArchonArchonArchonArchonArchonArchon
Yep, exactly. A good way to think about it is imagining a player who is magically given control of a maxed zerg army with all of the infrastructure. He will need significantly less APM to control a big ball of infestors and BLs (which can be very effectively A-moved, with the occasional press of the F key) than a terran army, which must be stimmed, split, kited, microed, focus fired, etc. Also, this terran player must remember to build units, depots, drop mules, etc. It really is quite unfair.
MVP (The red guy) has a fuck ton of BattleCruisers (Or BC's as the casters call them), Squirtle had a bunch of weaker units but a Mothership. Theres a trick called the "Archon Toilet", where the Mothership casts it's Vortex ability (An ability where the Mothership creates a black hole, and sucks everything nearby into it). Archons do splash damage, so the BC's were sucked in, and Squirtle (blue guy) threw his Archons in it, with Voidrays and storms as backup and dismantled MVP's entire fleet.

He's probably the person getting f***ed up
***** to your suspsize ,no he was the protoss player
look at him =o= the whole time...

"Rock is so OP, scissors and paper got no chance." ~Said every shitty scissors/paper player ever.
Yeah to everyone who comments on how the terran sucks... MVP is a legendary SC2 player, he didn't play correctly here but none of us would even have the chance to even lose like he did
Plus he went on to win the series, and the entire event anyway. No doubt he is a legend.
I was surprised he didn't just start destroying everything.. he played too careful?
I don't know how I'm just discovering this video now. I'm stunned by the awesomeness.
Well, to put it simple, the archons (The blue balls) attacks has splash damage, so if you group too many units in the same spot, each archon will do tons of damage.

Remember like it was yesterday, what a great game
This was not the greatest moment.
This was one of the saddest and most heartbreaking moments in SC2 history.
MVP absolute dominated him throughout the ENTIRE game then decided not to split up his BC's even though he knew he had a vortex and lost the game.
It was so tragic.
It was still one of the greatest though, as the hype of this climatic match has gone wild.
I still get goosebumps when I see this, freaking insane, unique game.
Everybody here is talking like a professional, and I'm just here making pylon jokes
Pylon jokes?
Alexander Holmes
"You must construct additional pylons" and shit like that
Oh lol, like "We require more gas!" *farts* Well I think that's taken care of now. ;)
YOU HAVE NOT ENOUGH PSI, CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS
I think that between the commentators and that crowd and other noises I could hear the Protoss player say "I have returned".
typical blizzard balancing
1: Streamer does it on a big event "wooooow that was so epic
2: a couple of weeks later everybody does it on the ladder "wooooow thats so overpowered"
3: blizzard nerfs it "woooooow its absolutely useless now"
his biggest blunder was never using the infinite scans he had available to check the area for a mothership.
love the korean screams from the background lol

it was brilliant angle from which sqirtle brought the mothership in because he drew mvps attention up left. you gotta give crddits to sqirtle.

is a-moving a mistake? And if he didnt bring it from bottom right would it have worked?
You did not understand what he meant by that, did you?

i have no idea what just happened!!!! cause i dnt play the game but it still looked pretty awsome!!! :D
u should check this game, some time it is just amazing
KiidDBuU Play Starcraft 2. It's awesome. Campaign alone is worth it.
this almost makes me mourn, is the most epic I've seen in sc2, and a sentence in which I always think before starting a game, BY AIUR!!

Wow! Looks like he didn't push his advantage fast enough and got wrecked in that ambush. Great play!
almost 4k!
I saw that live streamed at a barcraft - absolutely mental. Definitely the greatest moment I have ever seen in SC2.

come on. they absolutely got faces. Not just = 0 =

naaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Vortex was an amazing mechanic, its whoever gets stuck in it's own fault for clumping up their units so much.

Ha.
lol, the fact that you did not pressure enough to let protoss to own a mothership and did not even use yamato cannon to snipe it down is protoss fault.
He had no way of knowing that he had another mothership core up, all he knew was he was sniping out all of the archons and had him on the run

Well the whole point is that Mvp was not expecting another mothership to be made so fast after destroying his other one
"If we see an Archon toilet against battlecruisers, I WILL LOSE IT, TASTELESS!"
from watching tons of game of SC2 and playing them, this IS one of the craziest games ever..
Squirtle was uber composed even after he saw all the BCs. Mark of a pro gamer right there.
seein this live was nuts
I probably play more physical sports like soccer than video games but StarCraft is the best spectator sport ever, hands down. The thrills, chills, plays, suspense and tension man
terran guy's face at 3:33 is priceless
It wasn't one spell...
It was vortex + void rays (bonus to massive) + Some number of High Templar Feedbacks+Storms on BCs with full energy + 3/3/3 Archons after vortex + 3/3/3 Stalkers (bonus to armored)
this game NEVER DIE , this moments remain in the history
i actually got a goosebump watching this
With that many nukes being made, he was either in a use it or lose situation
He had the game in his hand but decided to fuck around and not just wipe out his main and paid the price
Sky Terran is one of the best unit compositions in the game.
In TvT if you're in mech stalemate, your drops are ineffective etc. BCs can break siege lines. You need more than 1 or 2 though, and Vikings can help kill the other player's BCs. This situation takes a while to develop. That hour long Boxer vs Rain game is an example with BCs, Vikings and Ravens against each other.
he had that expression the whole game
you're right it was actually only 15 seconds, but this was just slo mo. like the super focus time warp in the matrix
I'm surprised people actually watching this in 360p
I feel like the announcers are screaming at me, "watch this while you're high!"
I love how he did nothing with the BCs for like a year to give his opponent the opportunity to pull that off.
Timing is everything.
that game took place where the 1.5 sec invulnerability was already in effect.
This game is so innovative. Look the diverse and unique army compositon that consists of BattlecrusierBattlecrusierBattlecrusierBattlecrusierBattlecrusierBattlecrusierBattlecrusier and the opponents ArchonArchonArchonArchonArchonArchonArchonArchon
the guy on the left was like " :O " from the start of the game all the way to the gg
Yep, exactly. A good way to think about it is imagining a player who is magically given control of a maxed zerg army with all of the infrastructure. He will need significantly less APM to control a big ball of infestors and BLs (which can be very effectively A-moved, with the occasional press of the F key) than a terran army, which must be stimmed, split, kited, microed, focus fired, etc.
Also, this terran player must remember to build units, depots, drop mules, etc. It really is quite unfair.
i think the only people who dont know about the delay are the people who have just started to watch/play the game
At that level of starcraft, there is more going through your head than any sports star would be able to handle, errors are expected.
MVP (The red guy) has a fuck ton of BattleCruisers (Or BC's as the casters call them), Squirtle had a bunch of weaker units but a Mothership. Theres a trick called the "Archon Toilet", where the Mothership casts it's Vortex ability (An ability where the Mothership creates a black hole, and sucks everything nearby into it). Archons do splash damage, so the BC's were sucked in, and Squirtle (blue guy) threw his Archons in it, with Voidrays and storms as backup and dismantled MVP's entire fleet.
Mad audio/video desync here... "huge psistorms!!!!!" is said a second before any storms appear.
I feel like Stephano vs ForGG just created as great a moment.
