Just played the longest starcraft game ever

[MournSanity]

3v3 game, decided to play a money map. Big mistake. The game wouldn't ever end. Eventually two people dropped out (one on our side, one on the other). I was a protoss and my ally was a zerg. The other team were both protoss, but one of themmind controlled a zerg and had two armies. Held them off long enough with high templars and we must have had at least 60 minor skirmishes, along with about 5 large, all out ones. Eventually, I mind controlled a Zerg and a Terran and started building hydras and goliaths. Blue, the toss right under me decided to try at last ditch effort and sent dozens of carriers at my main base, but I destryed half of them with high templars and dragoons, then sent my hydras to finish them off. After this I attacked blue and killed him, then cornered the other toss and destroyed him as well. The game seemed like it didn't ever want to end. It was crazy. Forgot to save the replay though

How long was the longest starcraft game you ever played?

kthxbye

Back when I had starcraft, I had no net access. Played like an 18 hour game of star wars rebellion though against a friend. Now that was insane.

 

[flxnimprtmscl]

I understood nothing you just said. But I did just finish beating off for four hours. I'm willing to bet I had more fun.

Back in the day, we'd play 2v2 games... one of us would get almost killed, retreat into the other person's base to rebuild, and we'd still manage to come back to win. All about being sneaky.

Me and a friend used to 1v1 for literally 4-5 hrs at a time, mostly on New Gettysburg in the original SC when it came out 6 years ago

 

[Actaeon]

Dont' remember the longest SC game, probally close to 2.5 hours.

My longest Age Of Emprire game was 5.5 hours... I eventually won

 

[Orsorum]

Longest... probably somewhere around 6 hours.

So, how'd you get a terran if you were protoss and ally was zerg. One of the dropped players were terran? Second of all, are you guys any good? I've never seen games past 40 minutes, even on money maps, because evetually one screws up and if the other players are any good, they take control and can just overwhelm the other team.

In long games, it's good to have a terran on your side. When all fails, you nuke the crap out of the other team and start inching in on them.

I would say we were all pretty damn goodplayers, and knew how to counter each other's moves. And yes, it was 3v3 in the beginning, but my terran ally ran away like a little bitch because he got attacked by guardians, even though I had 20 corsairs scrambling to save him. Their other ally was a zerg, that is why one of the toss players also had a zerg army.

usually games that last quite long, someone almost always gets disconnected odding the teams, as well as some disconnecting intentionally who cannot stand defeat

Yea, I wished I mind controlled the terran earlier and made some nukes and tanks. I missed them in this game.

APM counts? You guys must have been pretty damn evenly matched for a game that long...

 

[MAME]

I can end a game in less than an hour even when I play some money map with a bunch of people who just bunker/cannon up

I have a crazy replay of just me taking on 2 protoss players with zerg. That went for just under 1 hour. BUT, I lost the fvcking thing when my hard drive crashed.

Man I rocked that game

Yea, usually money maps are really easy. I remember I once took on 5 people and won. It was 3v3 and I totally demolished the bottom team. Then the game wouldn't end and I realized I had two backstabbers on my team. I forgot what I did exactly, but I think I had dark templars and zerg hydras. They messed with the wrong guy to bs.

They always try some "haha just kidding, we were going to ally you!" thing if you get the better of them. And thats when you crush them. It sucks when they get you though.

I played a game a long time ago, 2v2 that I still remember. My ally was zerg, and not that good. I was toss, the two opponents were also toss. My teammates spotted one toss ramping up for a huge all or nothing zealot rush. He was expanding hard early, and leaving himself open. I rushed up the tech tree to get shuttles, loaded them with zealots and landed them in the back of his base, bypassing the cannons, just as his gateways were finishing the warp in. After I wiped his supply line and a couple zealots he dropped.

The other guy on the team asks if we will ally at end, I said sure and my teammate agreed because who cares? Well, I was a bit off from going hard for shuttles and my teammate wasn't to great...but I figured we still wouldn't have any trouble taking the last guy out. I was so wrong...he sent in this massive wave of dragoons and wiped us both out. The cool thing was he allied us both after winning with odds against him...class act that guy, and a real rarity on SC nowadays.
