    I'd like to see a variation of this, where you build a stargate and pretend like you're going mass phoenix or oracle, but instead build some proxy sentries and hallucinate the air units to get your opponent out of position while you attack on the ground instead. Or, you could really mess with them and hallucinate the air attack a couple times while you're banking air units, to lull them into a false sense of security before the real attack.

    2:52 Knappsack is a German word, too. It is just the "Sack" (depending on the context bag/sac/pouch) carried by the "Knappe" (which is a old word for Knabe which nowadays is in fact an old word for "junger Mann" or young men). It was usually used for those who just startet working as apprentice.
    Those people usually came from poor family's such that what little possessions they had fit into a simple "Knappsack".
    I am not sure how accurate the depiction with the bag on a stick is, but it is what the romantic storys about traveling young males with their few possessions depicted.

    I was thinking of that cast game you did.
    Peopel were spouting broodlords and infestors..
    I was like 20 bcs can do a lto of damage.
    So if you are clicking hero, and map clicker.
    This has ot be done in 9.7 seconds.. but technically you have 12 seconds, but you got to be quick. Warp ins are untargetable.
    You can group the bc's.
    The plot of path against an infester group lets say this last game: 12 infestors.
    It's Group BC's.
    Scan area where infestors are.
    Select group of Bc's. Move click on the map for a approximate short move, to T warp.
    Target Click each infestor.
    Have another scan and use.
    When the BC's warp in... the all target fire x, infestors in sequence. and hte second scan keeps it going so they don't lose sight.. as soon as they appear regardless of peopel attacking or neuro parasiting you, your commands are already on auto pilot.
    During this time, you can move and do other things..
    Then come back ot hte Bc's finsih off any air spupport. CHain commands are really effecient.. in targeting in warp-ins. Trasn warps..
    Aproximate casual click time is 7 seconds.. for scan, group select, map move (short) (t-location of infestors)3 seconds (chain target select- 12)3 seconds (scan again)1 second. I am giving it lots of time...
    hmm..

    Sick oracles. I like the stupid stuff, though I sometimes wish we got more follow through on a lot of these to see just how far you can push it. Ex. That fast upgrades as Terran video - it felt like you showed some of the possibilities but didn't optimize the build yet since it always had some hiccups in build or execution. I get not going as far as like when beastqt did x to gm, but a few videos where you perfect or enhance some could be cool.

    Idea for a new series: Let's call it "Noob Archon". The twist would be you playing Archon with a rather low level player against a single opponent and can only observe and live coach. That way you influence unit composition based on advanced scouting, you can verbally correct mistakes and so on. How far above the natural level of your average Gold player can the noob beat opponents when you tell him what units to build, when to attack and not attack, position stalkers and so on. It would be interesting to see how far relatively bad mechanics can be pushed by your pro level knowledge.

Carriers with oracle support and storm support are sick. Id really like to see harstem play more with that style.
