On 23 November 2005, Blake Piepho finished the seventh Zerg mission on StarCraft: Brood War (Blizzard, 1998) in 4 min 23 sec.
The hallmarks of Zerg strategy are speed and overwhelming numbers – the “Zerg rush” – but Blake struggled to successfully employ such tactics on this level. In fact, he found it so hard-going that he only managed to complete it twice in five hours of attempts. Even after passing a key part of the mission, involving crossing a bridge with full health, Blake estimates he only had a 35% chance of completing the level.
