Hey guys you are in for an epic match today between the best Zerg player in the world, SLush, and the best Terran player in the world, SeleCT, according to the official Top 200 list. This is the highest level play you will ever see. Matron is the commentator.

Great harassment by the Terran using Thors and Dropships. Incredible use of Banelings by the Zerg. Both players get three bases which is very micro intensive. This is a game you should not miss. Hope you are doing well, happy Halloween!

Hey guys here is a match between some of the best players in the world oGsCool and JangMinChul. They are playing as Zerg and Protoss and the commentator is Hunter. Both players expand early, with the Protoss sending in Phoenixes to harassment the Zerg.

The Zerg gets Mutalisks while the Protoss masses Stalkers and Sentries. Mid way through the match the Protoss sends in some Dark Templar and is able to destroy many of the Zerg workers. The Protoss then attacks the Zerg players second expansion but a counter attack of Mutalisks comes in to destroy the Protoss players only expansion which really hurts his economy. Smart play by the Zerg but too much teching by the Protoss.

Hey check out this Diamond level match between KawaiiRice and Bubba. They are playing as Zerg and Terran. The caster is Achaia and this match has many great battles. The Zerg fast expands and the Terran attacks early with four Hellions.

Spine Crawlers holds off the Hellions along with a Queen blocking the entrance of the Zerg base. Both players then mass their armies until the Zerg moves in with a ton of Banelings and destroys a lot the Terran army along with many miners. Mutalisks then come in but they are held off. This is a very nice look at how a mix of Zerg units and creative play is the key to high level play.

Have a look at this quick match between LiquidTLO and Dimaga playing as Protoss and Zerg. They are both extremely high level players. The map is Steppes of War which is small and good for rushing and the caster is burgback.

The Terran starts the match by immediately building two Barracks in the middle of the map. The unsuspecting Zerg fast expands while the Terran starts pumping out Marines. Once he has a small group of them he attacks. You have to give this a try.

Here is a high level match between Psy and ShowGood playing as Zerg and Terran. This is shot in live first person perspective so you will be able to see how a high level Zerg play thinks and plays in real time. Watching matches like this is the best way to learn.

The Terran goes for a Banshee rush but the Zerg handles it well with good Queen micro. The Zerg then masses Mutalisks with Zerglings and begins to contain the Terran. You have to see this. The level of thinking is intense.

Tournament Match Protoss Versus Zerg

admin — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 07:26:48 +0000

Hey guys here is a match from the Homestory Cup between Dimaga and WhiteRa commentated by burgback. They are playing as Protoss and Zerg on Scrap Station. These are two very well known high level players that you will learn a lot from by watching.

Both players start to quickly produce tier one units like Zerglings, Roaches and Stalkers while doing small back and forth attacks. Expansions also go up quickly. The Terran gets a big army massed and pushes at about the 9 minute mark. His is met by Roaches and Hydralisks for some fierce fighting.

Pro Match Psy Versus iEchoic

admin — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 09:25:56 +0000

Hey whats up guys here is a very good Zerg versus Terran match between Psy and iEchoic. They are both extremely high level Diamond players and the map is Lost Temple. Psys ranting about the noisy chip bag is quite funny.

The Zerg builds Roaches to prepare to defend against early Reapers or Hellions which are common especially in high level games. The Terran does build Reapers along with a fast expansion with two bunkers for defense. Both players build up really large armies before attacking, but when the fighting starts it is intense and worth the wait.

Zerg Nydus Network Attack Against Protoss

admin — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 07:56:47 +0000

Have a look at this interesting Diamond match between Dimaga and Kiwikaki playing as Zerg and Protoss. The map is Scrap Station and the caster is Blitz. The Protoss starts by walling his base and his natural expansion and builds Void Rays. The Zerg sees this and gets Roaches and a Nydus Network to get past the wall.

The Zerg gets his Roaches into the mineral line of the Protoss and is able to destroy a lot of Probes before the Void Rays are able to take care of the Roaches. Hydralisks then come through the Nydus Network along Queens while the Protoss counter attacks against the Zerg main base. This is some great play watch it now.

Here is a match you are really going to like. It is between two very high ranked Diamond teams both playing as Zerg and Protoss. The players are Protech, Schism, Sublime and Sorcery. The caster is Aleesa.

The game begins with all of the players focusing on getting tier 1 armies as soon as possible. The fighting starts right away and never stops. Incredible micro and macro by both teams. Colossus sure are devastating when utilized well. This might just be the best two versus two match you have ever seen.
