nostalgia

Wow. That was one of the most amazing SC games I've ever seen. I can't belive how fast July's micro is. It was so fast it made me dizzy. But it was a good video. Gave you July's perspective which is what I liked.

I think the reason why boxer was so successful was because of his ability to not only micro harass and do serious damagewith very few units(as evidenced by this vid) but also to seriously outproduce his enemy at the same time. a true legend.

Boxer... a true legend on Starcraft...

Wow... boxer is amazing in the clinch. I kept saying to myself the whole game "great, you've found a weakness July, now rock his economy!" but he never did. Still july is the best zerg player I've ever seen. The control he has over the swarm is astounding and I've never seen anyone throw boxer for so many loops with such varied attacks. wonderful, thanks for posting (well all your vids heh)

oh. my. god. This dude is so good at SC, love watching these pro vids.

I like to watch to FPVOD videos :D

One thing I'll always admire boxer for is his ability to harass his enemies mineral line, keep most of the units he uses for it, not interrupt his own builds and be planning another attack simultaneously. Imho july has the better recon of the two, boxer just has a sense of when he is keeping his opponent busy enough that he doesn't have to scout around too much. Really fascinating to watch. Thanks for these and your MANY other uploads violet.

the last attack was awesome! irritiating his own vessels.... man that was really nice

golden era of progaming.

geeee geeeee!

This is unbelievable play by both sides. Boxer is not normal.

wow........amazing

I remember this game from Boxer's point of view, AND the VOD... These two were just Monsters. Pure, unadulterated beasts. Boxer's TvZ is just too brilliant.

Julyzerg is f***ing fast man. love the part where he use dark swarm to push the terrans back.

awh man... I wanted July to win lol Good vid!

Could anyone tell what July's upgrades were this game? I may have missed it because his APM is insane, but I think that may have been a deciding factor.

He did group those scourges by pressing shift key, de-selecting 2 scourges from original group of 6 scourges. Then did the same thing again, making 3 groups of 6,4,2 scourges each. Of course later 4,2 scourge groups are part of original 6. The purpose of the control is to make it easier to target units that move in groups - target one with 6scourge group, then target another with 4scourge group, then another with 2scourge group. Then you are targeting 3 different units 2 scourges each.

@Roobiin111 Yes, the Defiler (after Research) may consume a fellow Zerg unit for 50 EN.

Epically great game

Over a decade old and still going strong.

Man I can't believe boxer pulled that out, that was awesome

what you're saying can confuse people. in order to get to a certain part of the map quick there are 3 ways i use: 1. shift+F2(or F3 etc.) which noobs don't use at all, 2. hot keying and then pressing the number twice to bring the screen to the group, 3. just clicking on the mini-map. spacebar brings you to the most recent transmission so it's not a set location.

that was freakin insane

Wonder if there is a JulyZerg vs sAviOr match ...

any news on that information??

smooth fpvod. what kind of software did you use for this? mine drops fps and sometimes lag

epic battle here. julyzerg at his prime, versus the emperor. what more can i say?

oh wow good point. I just stuck with what i felt comfortable with. I never really thought about that.

You're correct, but just FYI, late game Z can be played more macro style. The whole game could be played macro style if you can contain T, but he has siege tanks, so that's really never an option. You can contain him with muta micro, but that requires micro, which you don't want :P

Hey, I need a bit of help. It it seriously inefficient to get an evo chamber just for spore colonies? If july had ONE of those, no wraith harass.

I find it amusing that boxer apparently knew exactly where the first Zerg drop would be. *cue Admiral Ackbar*

gg! : )

great game.

holy shit gg july had the game in the bag, but couldn't hang on to it. nicee boxer!

@angelos7 yeah this video seems smoother than the original game

@Roobiin111 Defilers have been known to cannibalize other zerg to fuel the metasynaptic processes that generate the biochemicals, often accompanied by zergling escorts for this very reason. (source: starcraft.wikia.com) So yes, it does give the defiler energy.

Insane micro with the defiler.

boxer fighting , great game

those damn science vessels...

alright i looked at it again, the OL continued moving as units dropped.. my new theory is that he spammed through the hotkeys and clicked the first unit slot for each until they were all empty. 1click2click3click4click repeat.. it could be done pretty quickly since you don't need to move the mouse from that spot unless u want to burrow lurks right as they come

The spore is still the one of the 3 with the more HP, and that sure helps. Also, he did try to make one at 5:15 but it failed because there was always a drone in the way. Still, even if you think that the spore is the worst anti-air building, is it a reason not to make some? He sure wasn't gonna build a turret or a cannon instead..

there both really fast and good at mm, i was surprised that july lost.

wow, now that I think about it, I should do top right to bottom left. If I end on the left, it'll be easier for me to reach the minimap and the unit selection. Hmmm something to think about

whats the name of the map? this looks gr8 :D

that was cool)

wow a dream match. this is like seeing shaq take on wilt chamberlin

watch scourge ctrl micro at 15 min mark Im kinda confused exactly what he did; seperate them into diff ctrl groups? nehow he did it very quick

lol. That's because the Emperor's strategy is about comebacks :P

fun fact about July he has the longest winning streak of all time, smashing Nadas previous record.

is there a BOXER version on this??

July is the master of low economy fighting.

There has been many pros in Starcraft that come and go buy BoxeR is still my favorite. Probably because he's so good and a Terran player for the most part.

i used to think the same way; zerg is more like just-build-and-send and terran is more unit control than anything. but i'm starting to realize how wrong i've been. first of all there's a huge difference between micro and being busy. terran is the most work-requiring race in my opinion but when it comes to micro, in order to reach zerg's full potential, zerg needs more micro than the other races. the base-building and unit-creating is the small part and micro is the big part when it comes to zerg

Its making me dizzy watching this.. how can he go so fast?! >.O

HOly shit...that was FAST!... I hear 10 unit sound effect in 3 seconds time!

@ lezii (second page if you're going from newest first) you obviously havent seen any of julyzergs other games

Who won?

so who wins?

haha! july's drop got totally annihiliated. all hail the emperor =]

@jorumpl I think that the Protoss are the easiest to play. Micro wise, they have little to do, the peak coming around Storm or possibly Reaver drops. Macro, they also don't have too much on their hands to deal with, as they don't expand as much as Zerg or Terran. Terran are medium (Zerg being hardest) as they require little macro ( Stims is not that hard to remember) and they require a lot of Micro. Zerg require a very large amount of macro and a bit of micro. Macro is hard due to larvae

im really surprised that julyzerg lost that one. from the mid to end game he simply devastated boxer, wiped out practically every expansion boxer had, and decimated his army repeatedly. And he lost.

You DO know that toss is the "weak" race right now in the metagame?

what this map`?

its weird, in sc2 the zerg base seems so cluttered and every base does but in sc1 it just feels so empty

lol. o, there they are at 6:30. And then I was like, NO tanks? and then, there they are!

@Roobiin111 yes,an ability called consume

he is labeling 6, 4, 2 scourges so he can spread em when he attacks

whats july zerg's apm in this video it doesnt seem as high as pros these days

who wins ?

boxer isnt retired, he's playing in pro league right now for the air force ACE gaming team..

he had the ol hotkeyed separately and told them all to unload all units in 4 different locations, something like 1-u-click, 2-u-click, 3-u-click, 4-u-click.. thats just a guess..

July doesn't scout enough, he ovie drops into a deathtrap

spore colonies hard to make?

Basically, only melee attacks and splash damages will hurt the units inside the orange gas. So if you were to say... attack zerglings inside the orange gas with dragoons or goliaths or wraiths or hydralisks, they won't do any damage. However, with siege mode tanks, firebats, zerglings, zealots and other melee attackers / splash attackers, u can do damage.

The Zerg is so aggressive.

how they dont get dizzy or epilepsy playing like this :/

anyone kno what happened to boxer?

aga :)

I understand the mechanics of it I was just questioning if its what he actually did considering how fast it happened plus you dont see him clickin the pics to deselect. And again even if he did it doesnt even seem like he created new ctrl groups considering how fast it was. Unless ofcourse he had made the groups earlier on and i didnt notice it

wuts the "one missing" something they talk about which lead july to lose? they talk bout it when july is attackin for the second time boxers base. anyway, the way i see it, he just got too cocky. i thought he was gonna win though.. XD

i can't believe july lost that game

but wouldn't you just use hotkeys for the abilities anyway? O.O

And more advanced artillery and ordinance is also tech, as is infantry technologies. Sorry, but you're wrong. The prolific use of caster-units is definitely not "Terran-like", at least in terms of how Blizzard probably intended the race to be played in the majority of cases. Seriously, just take a look at it. There's clusters of Science Vessels. It's almost Zerg-like in number.

@STarCRAFT4BRITS You can't really have maphacking in a proleague game, they both sit in the same room and have live spectators and people watching the actual screens they use. Plus, I doubt they install SC on the computers they play on themselves :P

@RMJ1984 I miss the old Hydra 75mineral, they looked like frigging sharks and tore crap apart very mineral efficient and small

yes, bluejay is correct, so while usually ineffective, sieged tanks can, on occasion, deal damage to unit bunches under dark swarm.

get your heart of the swarm!!! :)

amazing comeback by boxer, i was amazed at july's macro and micro. im just wondering how does boxer get the money to come back like that? first harassment by boxer. then a come back by july but not good enough to crush boxer then i guess the tables and favors turned to boxer. GG indeed.

uber good game, thought boxer was gonna lose=)

I wonder why this was marked as spam.. It's called splitting, you can find a few videos on KZread to help you, but you select all 4 workers, and move them to a mineral patch. Then hold shift, and unselect one of the workers so you have 3 left in your control. Move them to another patch, and so forth, repeat until all are split. Hope that helps, considering I am answering you 6 months later..lol

dark swarm, durrr

because toss has the simplest concept off the 3 races

@FoXMaSteR001 Starcraft2 OST surely is bad, we missed all the voices D:

Insane Terran micro...

Always hated the fact that a race supposed to be as "gritty" as the Terrans relied so heavily on a caster-type unit to win games, rather than good ol' firepower and infantry.

aye, i saw him try a low econ build on monty hall that was crazy but unforunately he lost

i miss hydralisks so much

I noticed that most progamers select from top left to bottom right. I select top right top bottom left. how about you people?

woe ive never seen him do cloaked wraith raids
