Played by: JadedZerg
Hi, my name is Jaded (or JadedZerg) and this my first longplay. Starcraft is a RTS game that was published in 1998. It took off in Korea to such an extent that they have had professional teams/leagues broadcast on Korean TV since 2000. It is no longer broadcast on TV (Blizzard forced them to broadcast SC2 instead) but there is a large amateur league that still goes on. Starcraft is my favorite game of all time and I still play it online (on ICCUP/Fish Servers). In addition to the playthrough I'm going to write a little guide here on my thoughts for each mission the strats I use, or explainations of things I did in the game. I do try to show on screen the different effects of abilities and micro techniques so you don't have to read this to understand whats going on. With that lets jump in.
I wanted to note that my camera will jump around the screen occasionally seemingly without me doing anything. I am making use of the screen hotkeys done by pressing Shift+F2,3, or 4. This will save a screen location and you can recall it by pressing f2,3, or 4.
Also other than the mission names there won't be any story related spoilers in this.
Terran Mission - Tutorial: This tutorial is meant to get you somewhat familiar with the controls and a few of the units and how to use them. While I am very familiar with the controls/units I feel anyone who didn't know could benefit from this. Not much else can be said that isn't already shown on screen. I did however fail pretty hard in that I didn't build 3 supply depots before the vespene geyser. I was confused as to why it wasn't advancing after I got 100 gas. -
