It rarely happens to me but I'm pretty much speechless... The maze, the timings on removing banelings without missing a beat etc. etc. Like damn, whole run is both neat in terms of execution and clearly the preparations took some solid considerations like finding extra space to put production out. Happy new year man, you already made man ever so slightly better!
I really waited this one it’s obvious you can’t really speedrun this mission but boy im absolutely not disappointed by the the results this is peak content sir.
kinda too bad that Blizzard never thought to include extra voice lines (even just some kind of easter egg) for the handful of people that would push past the 3 billion mark
2.2 on brutal with a bunch of cannons and monoliths for air didn't realize they are good for ground too. Space was the main limit for me though should have done the funnel like this guy.
@@rustyshackleford3396 That's awesome too! I've played through the campaigns so many times I lost count but that mission was always one of my favorites. Yeah the monoliths are awesome for bigger targets, ground or air. The micromanagement is kinda key but for me at least it's impossible when you hit the 1.5b mark to efficiently do target control. I tried grouping up the monoliths to target the hybrids, ultras and guardians but yeah it became too many when they start attacking multiple sides.
Haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure is going to be awesome. Happy new Year! Edit: You know, I knew about the top panel timer bug, I never expected you to use it at the last moment to decrease your timer for just a bit. Just when I thought that this speedrun wouldn't be so different from others.
Who knew the secret to blowing up 4.073 billion zerg was building 4.073 billion shield batteries and treating dark templars like an antacid? Helluva job. Also, petition to see you do this from the archives with full tech and see how much farther you get
Isn't even 4billion zerg still a pretty tiny number for intergalactic super numerous species? Like less than a half of human living currently on earth, so a futuristic setting with so numerus race it's basically not even 1 planet worth...
@besNait Oh yeah dude writers are funny in how off they’ll be sometimes. It’s like 40k writing armor dimensions for super futuristic tech that our modern tanks outclass. Writers != Specialists
@@besNait good point. If there was any logic in it other than giving us a cool tower defense like mission with the highest number challenge, I'd guess that it's not all the Zerg in the galaxy but rather what Amon possesses. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Kerrigan take over majority of the Zerg by that time? If that's the case Amon's Zerg may be more limited than an intergalactic super numerous species as you said. After all they have so much larva economy to produce at the same time :P
@@besNaitAmon doesn't have control of that many Zerg thanks to kerrigan. This is why it was so important that kerrigan survived. Without her he'd have access to the entire swarm across the sector. But she is a competing hive mind and thus he only has access to the ferals he was able to acquire. Which is likely just the ones on auir. While infested, since auir Zerg have been feral for 4 years their numbers are natural rather than a garrison of forces. Amon likely only got control of them when he revived after kerrigan was defeated on char.
Well done indeed. Honestly this should break the lore of the game with the amount of Hybrid you slaughtered But that's nothing new in Starcraft. Everyone has made sure to crush the zerg assault against Kerrigan at least once in their life
Fantastic showing! My biggest take is how Dark Templar are effectively ranged spellcasters, with their Shadow Fury. Never did I think they'd trade so effectively well, especially vs. Banelings.
Well played despite the poor unit tech and arsenal given for defense. I've seen couple of Korean players reaching past 4.4 and *over freaking 8 billion* but all kept Shakuras missions for the last. I wonder how far you can go with robo units and extra Spear panel available.
There are so many little techniques going on all at once that just blows my mind. The little hit squad of DTs trimming down waves, the constant Shadow Furies on the Baneling waves as they start to approach the Nexuses. The level of skill is mind boggling.
There’s so many little things about this that are absolutely mind blowing how smart they are. Using shadow strike to burst down the monoliths, so they kill the mutts, and then hiding your production structures there is so smart I can’t even
Те, кто посмотрели видеоролик после миссии в русском дубляже, получили невероятный экспиреэнс. Русский дубляж Зератула настолько лучше оригинала, что не призновать это - быть моральным униженным недочеловеком. Вы можете поссмотреть его с субтитрами, однако напостоянку слушать рууский дубляж вы не сможете, и оочень много поткряете- настолько он лучше и эмоциональнее, это не передовать словами
happy new year and you are my favorite starcraft yt and man i can hardly beat brutal so i kinda be like wait what when i see you do this shit in like 2 minutes your my favorite happy new year
Zerg is Making The Planets go Down in Under A Year No matter what you got on any Planet see the Problem or Lose :) Great Play must have taken a couple Years of Practice
Me: You can't speedeun this mission! Stu: Endurance run it is then. Me: But you already did tha... Stu: ...with next to no upgrade! Salty Spitoon Bouncer: Ri...Right this way, sir!
The new canon: the Nerazim valiantly defend their homeworld against unsurmountable odds, forcing Amon to sacrifice billions of zerg and even his beloved hybrids. Despite the aid of Artanis and his wandering Spear of Adun, hybrid flyers prove to be overwhelming, but on this day 130 dark templar and their phase-smiths stood against billions.
I don't think there's an official record. Also depends a lot on how early you go to Shakuras, and there used to be helpful glitches that have been patched out.
Прекрати это, это как наркотик, я наслаждаюсь, а мой мозг не может отследить картинку. Респект за идею и контент. Сколько времени потратил на проработку плана и тестов?
* Artanis and Vorazun be like: let's hurt Amon, but as soon as the temple is overload, we will retreat... * Stu: Don't you see I'm "feng shuiing" this temple and ending with the whole Amon's army?
Nah brooo, even the normal map, i only win it because of pure luck of several time trying over and over, somehow i manage to have few percent left in the last second after all of my troops got decimated. All that try so i can have a drop of blood left 💀
Этот парень закончил на 4 миллиардах просто потому, что у него кончились минералы. Если бы у него было бесконечное количество минералов, то он смог бы продержаться гораздо дольше. Например до 8 миллиардов.
Impressive as always, leaving us with high expectations for the new year. Does anyone know the absolute (glitchless) record for this mission? I haven't found a video demonstrating higher than this, but a bit more should be possible with full juice.
@26:28 he was about the place the structure but can’t, goes to snipe some banelings and guardians, then @27:01 he is magically now able to place the structure. What am I missing??
4 billion is crazy.
You dropped this, king👑
ua-cam.com/video/v6vpDzXq704/v-deo.html
This dude got 4.4 billion
he did NOT drop it. 🤦🏼♂🤦🏼♂🤦🏼♂🤦🏼♂🤦🏼♂🤦🏼♂🤦🏼♂
Stu's priority: Campaign Speedrun.
Also Stu's priority: As long as possible. 🗿
It rarely happens to me but I'm pretty much speechless... The maze, the timings on removing banelings without missing a beat etc. etc. Like damn, whole run is both neat in terms of execution and clearly the preparations took some solid considerations like finding extra space to put production out.
Happy new year man, you already made man ever so slightly better!
Anyone who watched this video will have no choice but to respect you.
how couldn't you be right ???!!!!!
what does "minimal upgrades" mean? that he didn't use the forge?
I only lasted to 1.9 bil
What about his computer?😂
@@__Mr.White__ Means he went to Shakuras first, lesser solarite, lesser unit variant and unit unlock
Forcing the enemies to go through a narrow path is the most tower defense tactic i've ever seen. Massive respect 🔥
To be fair. Thus entire Mission is a Tower defense Mission.
I have been walling off all the entrances for For so long 😅
That was AWESOME. What a great new years gift for all SC2 fans. Hilarious show. Greatest game of them all. Thank you.
You’re so friggin good it was actually kinda neat watching the final part breakdown in apm and resources just limiting you.
I really waited this one it’s obvious you can’t really speedrun this mission but boy im absolutely not disappointed by the the results this is peak content sir.
Finally the LotV speedrun!
kinda too bad that Blizzard never thought to include extra voice lines (even just some kind of easter egg) for the handful of people that would push past the 3 billion mark
True
Look at the numbers!
It's dosent matter!
Your runs are always insane.
Thank you so much for all your work and what u do ! I am master in SC2 but you are a genius !
This is amazing! I managed 2.5 on easy, with full upgrades, and struggled hard. This is insane planning and dedication. Good job man.
2.2 on brutal with a bunch of cannons and monoliths for air didn't realize they are good for ground too. Space was the main limit for me though should have done the funnel like this guy.
@@rustyshackleford3396 That's awesome too! I've played through the campaigns so many times I lost count but that mission was always one of my favorites.

impressive and epic. happy new year Stu and thank for your amazing video.
Well done! Holding that much long is quite impressive!
I remember how I barely managed to survive main object, not the bonus one :D
Happy new year! 🎉
Props bro 👏
Haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure is going to be awesome. Happy new Year!

Amazing! I've never thought dark templars could be so powerful!
Awesome run and best lotv cutscene❤
I can hear Amon crying in a corner
Nah he can always make more as he please
Fantastic!
Really enjoyed this video
Saludos desde Perú
Well done indeed.
Honestly this should break the lore of the game with the amount of Hybrid you slaughtered
But that's nothing new in Starcraft.
Everyone has made sure to crush the zerg assault against Kerrigan at least once in their life
Yea that mission you can easily turtle with bunkers and seige tanks and the zerg has no chance to break it
Fantastic showing! My biggest take is how Dark Templar are effectively ranged spellcasters, with their Shadow Fury. Never did I think they'd trade so effectively well, especially vs. Banelings.
Love the micro strategies in these vids like putting buildings outside of the defense area and keeping DT's in the corner to harrass
Amon: Power Overwhelming
*45 minutes later*
Amon: What the-
Lmao 🤣
STU King best of the best! Happy new year!
Lore accurate Protoss last stand. Hats off to you sir.
FAF watcher tuning in, this is what we call in the business as "comprehensive turtle city"
Insane. Great work
Vorazun: so you mean to bleed him?
Stu: nah, i"ll just cut his arm.
Well played despite the poor unit tech and arsenal given for defense.
I've seen couple of Korean players reaching past 4.4 and *over freaking 8 billion* but all kept Shakuras missions for the last.
I wonder how far you can go with robo units and extra Spear panel available.

thumb up! 😄In my opinion, this was multiple times better than every time that I played this mission.
Really well done, appreciated!
He truly hit amon’s forces hard with this one. 4 billion zerg, *poof* gone
Watch every minute. He’s back! 🎉
STU новое видео - прекрасный подарок твоим фанатам к новому году, 4ккк!!!! ВАУ!!!!
one little two little three little zergling...four little five little six little zergling...4 billion zeeeergling
Amon: "I will overrun Shakuras with Zerg and Hybrid."
Stu: "Haha. Monolith and shield battery go brrr."
"stuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu*"
this is the sound of 4 billions zerg burning in space instantly.
Humanity defending the Black Hole Bomb from Space Monsters living in the galactic core
-circa 2048, colorized
Sim City: Batteries of Shakuras
Wow no way! Now that was 4 Billion Zerg alright! It's insane! You done did it! Well done! That was very long you survive! Well done! You won!
"Whats that probe doing? Theres a huge hole in the middle?"
"Let him cook"
"But--"
"LET. HIM. COOK"
Amon at the end of this timeline. "Holy infinite cycle, I made these things too smart."
There’s so many little things about this that are absolutely mind blowing how smart they are. Using shadow strike to burst down the monoliths, so they kill the mutts, and then hiding your production structures there is so smart I can’t even
You've earned my respect, Templar.
actually there's 2 options btw speedrun and defending in WR 🗿
what a great job
Gg. And this end scene is so epic

The UED ended their Zerg kill counter on a mere 1.5 billion...
Как обычно великолепно!
minimal upgrades루트라서 빨리 끝내기만 할줄 알았는데,
try to hold out for as long as possible 했다니 정말 고마워.
stu 넌 정말 멋진놈이야!
다음 영상도 기대하고 있으니 빨리 내놔!
새해 복 많이 받아라.
Stu. You're amazing.
May you forever be bound by the Khala, and Adun Tassadar warrior!!
с новой годой!
Goddamn, over 4 billion?! You gotta try that again with full tech!
Great, as always! Happy New Year!
Incredible gameplay.
Great work!
FOR THE EMPIRE, DOOM TO ALL WHO THREATEN THE HOMEWORLD!
... Do you need a hug? I hated this mission hahaha! Well done!
This is brilliant!
amazing skill :) this level was always a struggle for me :)
THE ABSOLUTE MADMAN HE'S DOING IT
insane
The amount of those pesky flyers you were able to withstand is mind-boggling. They were always the demise of all my tries.
Watching it in Korea you are awesome Stu ..!
Amazing my friend.
And here am I, only playing on Hard and save scumming a million times, and only barely making it through with 1.003b zergs. Very impressive.
Zerg is Making The Planets go Down in Under A Year No matter what you got on any Planet see the Problem or Lose :)
Great Play must have taken a couple Years of Practice
Amon: "Blizz nerf OP Protoss, plox"
"power Overwhelming"

Stu: Endurance run it is then.
Me: But you already did tha...
Stu: ...with next to no upgrade!
Salty Spitoon Bouncer: Ri...Right this way, sir!
Holy shit I have nothing but respect for you, you hold out until your gas depleted👍 I tried many many times and only reached about 2 billion.
What a gamer

That was incredible! I also forgot how cool that ending cutscene is. Is there a world record category for maximum Zerg on Shakuras?
I don't think there's an official record. Also depends a lot on how early you go to Shakuras, and there used to be helpful glitches that have been patched out.
Greetings, Stu. Fun new video, we are wait for it so long. Do you know who is Executor Nral? What do you think about him?
This is one of the most annoying achievements to get... very wel done!
"you wont last 5 minutes playing this game on brutal".
i think 3.8 was my best congrats on hitting 4
Daym, what a work!

If you look closely, they're actually sweating here. 😂
