Stalkers are tier 5 units. You need a Nexus for a worker, a worker for a pylon, a pylon for a gateway, a gateway for a cyber core, and then you have to build one.
Actually, you need a hatchery, drone, swarming pool, lair, infestation pit, neural, and an infestor, to then get a probe, pylon, cyber core and gateway… so it’s tier 11

What confuses me most is that the terran never got yamato... I would always try to go for BCs when I was in silver, but I would always get yamato, I've never heard of a terran not getting yamato with his mass BCs, this is the most important upgrade even in bronze league.
On the argument of Protoss units: Tier 1: Gateway/core units (zealots, adepts, stalkers and sentries) Tier 2: Stargate and Robo units (phoenix, void ray, oracle and immortal) Tier 3: templars, fleet beacon and robo bay units (HT, DT, carriers, tempests, mothership, collossi and disruptors)
Why are templars t3 instead of t2? I've never seen them classified this way. Tier 3 is usually the "big" units and templars are way more similar to normal gate units than carriers or colossus

I found myself also rooting for asfrog which made it fun to watch . Thanks again for the supreme editing hamster your good work is noticed
I haven’t laughed so hard at game play footage in such a long time. The fact that these two gems played each other is priceless. Mines into BC vs stalkers into observers 🤔🤣
Easily the funniest game I've ever seen in this series. Asfrog didn't build stalkers, he built lemmings. In fact, this looked more like a game of lemmings than a game of starcraft.
23:36 -- I actually gotta hand it to the Protoss player here... For a 2.5k MMR Silver league, that was actually a fairly decent split... Walking with a HUGE clump of stalkers into 6 ( *SIX* ) mines and only losing 8 ( *EIGHT* ) Stalkers ?? That's actually quite a FEAT ! :O
If only Protoss and flying invisible detector with a speed upgrade and a bunch of units with longer range than mines. Plus, with that much mining, just spam canons all over the map.
I would say both players performed very well for their MMR level. Also Starcraft IQ of protoss player has raised by at least 10% during this match, he learned so much about terrans for just half an hour!
T1 - zealot T2 - need core in addition to gate - stalker sentry adept T3 - need building after core - phoenix, oracle, void ray, immortal, observer T4 - need an additional building after building after core - dt, templar, tempest, carrier, collosus, raptor. T5 - archon as it requires you to build a pair of t4 units making it the ultimate protoss unit. Please flame if i missed something.
Honestly, this was one of the best IODIS ever! I couldn't believe my eyes. Great episode, now on to the next one (been away for some time, need to catch up)
Sure, the guys base was pretty looking, but was a HUGE disadvantage against the BCs. Only a few stalkers could fire at a time because the buildings took up the entire main base area
This was a match of the century. The base design was meticulous. 11/10. Also, quoting Supernova who is a former Korean pro: "200 supply 3-3 BCs have no counter" :)
I concur, as a terran player i was wincing over the mines. They shouldn't be that good lol. The only theoretical counters I can come up with to 200 supply bc is one of three. 1 Kiting with mass viking as they outrange a raven or two with anti armor would help too. 2 mass void ray over shield batteries. 3 mass infestor play. Stealing half the bcs and fungaling them might work. That's about all i can think of.
@@jimmyha1898 it's really hard to corner vikings since they're faster than bcs and outrange them. Still, you have to have really solid control to kite like that for an extended period of time. Although yamato is a really tough prospect if it's online...

Captain, got an obvious idea for BGWSS: build only beautiful-looking, symmetrical bases, make art with your buildings, because optimisation is overrated and winning with style and fashion is the real endgame of Starcraft 2, you're a protoss player after all, you should love shiny stuff. Of course you will need followers and audience to appreciate your architecture - invite an opponent to your base, he has to see it in one way or another.
Stalker is a tier 1 unit. All gateway and cyber core units are tier 1. All units from the next tech tree are tier 2 - Twilight council units (DTs and HTs), Robo units and Stargate units. Tier 3 units are then the extra tech on top of the Robo and stargate - Fleet beacon and Robo bay.
No! It's definitely a tier 2 unit! As you speak, robo, stargate are tier 2, unless additional tech is required. So, zealot is tier 1, stalker/sentry 1.5?, chargelot 1.5, blink stalker tier 2. But seriously, how do we count upgrades if some higher tech building is required?
you're super wrong, DT and HT are tiers 3 because they require another building after the twilight (which is a tier 2 building), just like the robo bay and the fleet beacon are needed for tier 3 after building the previous buildings (Stargate/Robotics facility) Zealots are tier 1 Cybercore and Stalkers, Adepts, Sentries are tier 1.5 Twilight the council (the buildings and its upgrades) are tier 2, as are robotics facility and immortals/prism/observers. Stargate and Phoenix/Oracles/Void rays are also tier 2. And tier 3 is the rest (Fleet beacons, Robo Bay and the 2 templar buildings)
@@Plajerity and Mirdclawer, there is no such thing as half a tier, though you could argue DT and HT are tier 3 yes, I do not consider them to be as if you're playing a more standard T1/2 style and the majority of your units are low tier gateway units, twilight council is essential to your play, and although tech tree wise it is more tier 2, it is more like a high tier 1 or low tier 2 building in gameplay because it is so essential to low tier unit compositions.

This reminds me of an old game I watched on Husky's channel casting WhiteRa and a terran player, right after the HoS beta released. WhiteRa just couldn't figure out how to deal with the mines and the opponent built like 50 mines and a couple of tanks and just marched across the map and won. Presumably they nerfed the mine after that time, but this game was reminiscent of it.
25:53 If someone doesnt understand why observers just chill together above the Archon, the guy is using F2 and as observers count military units they move with the army but they dont have attack so they just chill in front of the enemy. But the way he walks on the same mines the 5th time, I can't believe he is Silver or just NA is extremely low compared to EU compared to KR.
Can we take a moment to appreciate Asfrog not having a clue about the terran's 4th until the 6th popped up? And who builds swarms of observers, an ex-zerg player? Just keep one in the back in observer mode and the other with the army. Get a sentry or two against BCs, Guardian Shield works wonders.
its a tier 1 because if you count a stalker a tier two, then the ONLY tier 1 unit for protoss would be zealots and i guess probes, like not even observers
f2 would have helped since it would have gotten his observers into the correct position earlier in the game. Also, AsFrog seems to be the only Protoss player than doesn't transition into Skytoss :P Obviously, I'm being hyperbolic, but some people will take my statement at face value, so here's my disclaimer
I have to interject here. In Harstem's analogy near the end of the video, he implies that you could easily beat someone mining iron ore by just punching him. But an ridiculously incompetent oversight by Harstem is that a person mining ore would obviously have a mining tool in their hands, such as a pickaxe, drill, or excavator. This would make it incredibly hard to beat them if all you have is your fists. This is outrageous, and my immersion is completely ruined. I don't know if I will ever recover from this.
:14 google search bar jokes are so underrated. 14 seconds in and im already laughing and pausing to leave a comment. harstem just cant miss neither can hamster. cant forget about the most important person on the channel
4:36 not a huge thing, but your talking about the protoss first unit being built late, right after watching a zealot chase the matine through the main.
To be fair, that's obviously Hamster! After all, the recommended searches are in German (and Hamster is German as far as I am aware^^). So maybe we should judge the one behind the camera this time... But to Hamster: Genial gemacht!
Your more recent IODIS have been fun. Seemed like you were getting frustrated with some older submissions, but maybe these low level games have you enjoying the format again.
Big Stalker explanetion: a stalker without blink is Tier 1,5, Gate (tier 1) Cybernetic core still an early game and must have core building so its Tier 1,5. The Twilight council, Stargate and Robo are all Tier 2 buildings producing Tier 2 and Tier 3 units, but for Tier 3 you need one of the 4 Tier 3 buildings (dankshrine, Templar archive, Fleetpeeken and Robo-bay). Maths are done
OMG I'm laughing so hard I'm crying! Marching 40 mines into someone's base and just obliterating it and then moving on to the next one🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's the most get out of my game move I think I've ever seen
Best series on TH-cam Edit - back when I actually played this game, nothing made me happier than someone I beat telling me I play to slow to beat them lmao.
Love your videos man. These types of matches make me want to actually start ranked. Good grief, observers are so cheap to not have at least one with the army. Maybe I'll be brave enough to get out of coop today lol
I usually think that it would be fun to see more gold/silver/bronze in this playlist. After watching this, I understand that it's not that fun after a while, it is just to stupid! Hilarious video though :D!!
I wonder at what league you learn that you can build more than one type of unit. You know, getting something that hard counters your opponents army. Because in the last two silver league videos everyone is oddly insistent to build only one or two types of units, never ever getting anything else.
Though ironically, in this game, the mass stalkers would have been perfectly fine if he didn’t just walk into mines all game and clog up his main with buildings making it impossible to defend against the bcs.
Nobody commented on the amazing easter egg? @14 seconds, we see harstem's search history. Really worth it. (Edit: turns out, many people saw it. It really made me laugh)
My favorite Iodis episodes feature idiots, the cringe is so satisfying, the best part is how indignant this guy is that the game isn't fair when he was winning the entire game and just walks into mines. I can't do justice to analogies when this is a Harstem video so I won't try but this is just unbelievable.
Hey harstem, long time SC player, lover if systems in general... I wonder if you could do a breakdown of why building and sending a marine is less useful than sending a scv? I may be hung up on the wrong aspect but it seems to me that an scv gathering fulltime would generate more minerals in the time it takes a marine to run around and die than it cost to create it. a gain which would be totally lost by sending the scv. Perhaps the issue is of timing, not logistics? in which case it is entirely logical and perhaps I answered my own question. I enjoy your content and your stream of consciousness commentary. bravo
Carriers with their interceptor pew pew against Battlecruisers with their mini pew pew? LOL Carbot made a video about that XD Voidrays would have already countered the Battlecruisers.

as a terran this replay makes me giggly, and I am especially happy with the facial contortions of my favorite protoss player
The cutoff and facepalm at 26:12 I'm dying of laughter
Search history at 0:14 had me laugh really loud! 👍💣 I wonder how much editing it required? )))
f2 would have helped since it would have gotten his observers into the correct position earlier in the game. Also, AsFrog seems to be the only Protoss player than doesn't transition into Skytoss :P
Obviously, I'm being hyperbolic, but some people will take my statement at face value, so here's my disclaimer
This is the first video that I have watched from Harstem, and it is definitely not going to be my last.
that search history gag at the start was golden
I have to interject here. In Harstem's analogy near the end of the video, he implies that you could easily beat someone mining iron ore by just punching him. But an ridiculously incompetent oversight by Harstem is that a person mining ore would obviously have a mining tool in their hands, such as a pickaxe, drill, or excavator. This would make it incredibly hard to beat them if all you have is your fists. This is outrageous, and my immersion is completely ruined. I don't know if I will ever recover from this.
Harstem plays minecraft confirmed? he punched iron ore until he had enough, no pickaxe/drill/excavator needed.
:14 google search bar jokes are so underrated. 14 seconds in and im already laughing and pausing to leave a comment. harstem just cant miss
neither can hamster. cant forget about the most important person on the channel
lmaoo those search results @0:15
4:36 not a huge thing, but your talking about the protoss first unit being built late, right after watching a zealot chase the matine through the main.
What are those bing searches?!?! "LowkoTV Personal information" HAHAA captain got caught! Lul
To be fair, that's obviously Hamster! After all, the recommended searches are in German (and Hamster is German as far as I am aware^^). So maybe we should judge the one behind the camera this time...
But to Hamster: Genial gemacht!
When was that? I think I've looked away and missed a joke
I barely even play starcraft but you have the funnest fucking commentary ever especially on imbas. Its so good
I loved those 3 observers dying to widow mines
Your more recent IODIS have been fun. Seemed like you were getting frustrated with some older submissions, but maybe these low level games have you enjoying the format again.
Lmao, the fucking archon conga line into the base so filled with buildings! XD
Big Stalker explanetion:
a stalker without blink is Tier 1,5, Gate (tier 1) Cybernetic core still an early game and must have core building so its Tier 1,5.
The Twilight council, Stargate and Robo are all Tier 2 buildings producing Tier 2 and Tier 3 units, but for Tier 3 you need one of the 4 Tier 3 buildings (dankshrine, Templar archive, Fleetpeeken and Robo-bay).
Maths are done
OMG I'm laughing so hard I'm crying! Marching 40 mines into someone's base and just obliterating it and then moving on to the next one🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's the most get out of my game move I think I've ever seen
Did anyone esle see that +1 marine doin the last hit on that pylon? :D he truly made a difference!
As a child in SC1 I built three solid layers of photon cannons around my bases. you do not want to waste space for real estate!
"You're the guy that walks into the Santa while Santa shoots you with his lazer tag gun"
Best series on TH-cam
Edit - back when I actually played this game, nothing made me happier than someone I beat telling me I play to slow to beat them lmao.
The mining during a fistfight analogy is particularly great because SJtinyhats held off the fistfight by mining the Stalkers
Love your videos man. These types of matches make me want to actually start ranked. Good grief, observers are so cheap to not have at least one with the army. Maybe I'll be brave enough to get out of coop today lol
There's also unranked if you like
“How to take out TH-camr bigger than yourself” followed by Lowko literally ended me, you’re even on Bing 😂😂
5:09 its hot in their suit, they just trying to catch some shade. hot sunny day.
he may have meant friend of friend (FOF) since he described it as a "chill" game
7:03 lol so true, beauty is hard work! 🤣😂😂😂😂😂
the guitar analogy was amazing
That joke about aesthetically pleasing bases felt like a personal attack.
lol the "letting your opponent blacksmith a sword in a fist fight" analogy
I usually think that it would be fun to see more gold/silver/bronze in this playlist. After watching this, I understand that it's not that fun after a while, it is just to stupid! Hilarious video though :D!!
I wonder at what league you learn that you can build more than one type of unit. You know, getting something that hard counters your opponents army. Because in the last two silver league videos everyone is oddly insistent to build only one or two types of units, never ever getting anything else.
Though ironically, in this game, the mass stalkers would have been perfectly fine if he didn’t just walk into mines all game and clog up his main with buildings making it impossible to defend against the bcs.
I remember in low silver/bronze people build every type of unit, so focusing on something is actually a way to get better at that level
Nobody commented on the amazing easter egg? @14 seconds, we see harstem's search history. Really worth it. (Edit: turns out, many people saw it. It really made me laugh)
My favorite Iodis episodes feature idiots, the cringe is so satisfying, the best part is how indignant this guy is that the game isn't fair when he was winning the entire game and just walks into mines. I can't do justice to analogies when this is a Harstem video so I won't try but this is just unbelievable.
23:18 omg, those stalkers, lmao!
Yo, just leaving a comment here to support Harstem and Hamster. Also: very cute frog pic in the submitted form.
Hey harstem, long time SC player, lover if systems in general... I wonder if you could do a breakdown of why building and sending a marine is less useful than sending a scv? I may be hung up on the wrong aspect but it seems to me that an scv gathering fulltime would generate more minerals in the time it takes a marine to run around and die than it cost to create it. a gain which would be totally lost by sending the scv. Perhaps the issue is of timing, not logistics? in which case it is entirely logical and perhaps I answered my own question. I enjoy your content and your stream of consciousness commentary. bravo
On five.bases he could be producing five carriers at a time
Instead he mass stalkers
And then his beautiful building asthetics mazed his stalker
Carriers with their interceptor pew pew against Battlecruisers with their mini pew pew? LOL Carbot made a video about that XD
Voidrays would have already countered the Battlecruisers.
@@phelanwolf6747 the thing is he could have got to carriers a lot faster than the terrain got to BC
