Hey Kev, I've been trying to come up with some truly stupid stuff as suggestions, and I think I've got 3 really dumb strategies that could make for some really interesting games: *1) All your Gas belongs to me now* - Aim to steal every gas on their side of the map (whether they have a base there or not), you can only attack your opponent once they've killed 6 of your gasses (increasing with each victory). This should include, as much as possible, stealing the gas in their active bases early in the game. _Bonus Challenge: Using 2 warp prism drop immortals + a probe to snipe their gasses, only to steal them again)._ *2) Coach yourself* - Play as if you're controlling starcraft through voice commands, or as though this is a coaching session. Every major action you take you have to say (in full) before you carry it out, in addition voice commands have to be a single command, ie. "Fly the warp prism into their main base" and "Warp in zealots at the warp prism" should be separate commands. I have no idea how hard this challenge will be, but it feels like it will be extremely difficult to multitask. *3) All blink errething* - Blink stalkers and blink DTs. Simple premise: can only build these 2 units, but since we've all seen you win games with blink stalkers alone, to make it slightly more challenging Stalkers can only be used on defence, Blink DTs can only be used on offence (this means until you have dt blink they can't attack). EDIT: Changed 2) and 3) since some of the other commentors pointed out they were duplicates of previous challenges. Hope these are suitably stupid to prove challenging, and dumb enough to make your opponents think you're an idiot... I know you've already used one of my comments for youtube plays, so if you need to pick someone else first I completely understand, wanted to give you some content thought :) Thanks for everything you're doing Kev! Tim
That stealing gas at start and with immortals would be very interesting against some races: Just snipe tosses stalkers and keep sniping gases, even without stealing hes income will be too low. Might also work against terran
2 & 3 have already been done in some capacity, might at least be fun to rewatch th-cam.com/video/-SYHitEMkGc/w-d-xo.html - basetrades + ninja bases th-cam.com/video/Jj0eDTL7fwo/w-d-xo.html - 1 of everything (he gets up to 2 of everything in the last game!)
@@noobo56 Thanks for pointing this out! I tried to think back to all the BGMWSS but it was hard to remember everything, I've added 2 different suggestions instead, let me know if you can think of any that they're too similar to! :D
Challenge: Be terran, pretend to be afk, when opponent starts killing your cc pretend to come back to the game, then fly cc to corner of the map, opponent will now spend time and resources making flyers to take out your cc, meanwhile you build up from your hidden bases! = Win
Stupid Strategy: You can only use the all army hotkey and except one brave worker every worker has to stay in the circle that a nexus makes. So probe transition has to happen with prism or recall. If you want it more hard: Make a hotkey for the brave probe, if it dies, you can actually only take a new base with building a nexus path, because of the circles.
I don't know how it's called where he lives but in france a garden gnome is litteraly called garden midget so maybe he just translated from his language to english without knowing the true name
New Challenge: Play for a draw. That means you have basically two options: 1. Try to kill all of your opponents workers and make sure that he can't build new ones, either through destroying all his hatches/commandcenters/nexus or make sure that he has no minerals left to build new ones. Then stop mining as well and just do nothing ( no building of units, research of tech,etc,... , the exact conditions for a draw are here: liquipedia.net/starcraft2/Stalemate_Detection ). Wait for 3 minutes and hope that your opponent doesn't leave ;). 2. completely mine out the entire map asfap and try not to die during this process, but also don't kill your opponent. After some time there should be a point reached where your opponent has no money left to do anything and you also have to do nothing for 3 minutes ;). Maybe there is also another way of doing this, if you find one, feel free to try that one as well. I believe the main challenge here is, that you have to make your opponent believe during the entire match that there is still a chance for him to win this game, so that he doesn't leave.
Mr. Harstem you should try "Retaking Aiur" for one of your series At some point you should have 20 or so active warpgates at the same time, while banking A LOT of resources. Mass prisms and get them to the enemy main and do a massive warp-in. You cannot attack (maybe only harass) until after you do this massive warp-in. Just keep warping in en masse til you run out of bank (or if you lose your base). Doesn't really matter how you get to it, I just want to see massive warp-ins and some salt. good luck Executor Harstem :))
Here's an idea! Yin Yang/Air and Land challenge: 1)You must have your army units split into exactly two groups. Flyers in one group and ground dwellers in the other. 2)Their vision should be kept from overlapping. 3) Their respective supplies should be kept as close to equal as possible (i.e. if one army takes an engagement and drops in supply the other must trade out to balance or refuse fights until the other is brought back up to speed). 4) All other elements of gameplay not explicitly listed remain at your discretion. Cheers! Love your stuff
I've got an idea for a challenge: Play Starcraft 2 in BW mode, meaning you can't select more than 12 units at a time. More hardcore versions are selecting 1/3/6/ units at a time.
Stupid stuff suggestion: Misplaced nexus Start by misplacing every base by one hex. Every time you win increase the amount of misplacing by an additional hex. Hopefully you will have ridiculous mining by the end.
What about if you make two lists of 6 toss units, assign a number 1-6 on each list. Then roll two die during loading screen to pick main two units for your army. Same unit could be on both lists but cant be repeated on a single list. Wouldnt need to be a purely two unit type army, just try to feature those two units.
With those roach all ins, a couple more shield batteries could have made the difference. How about a shield battery-is-my-pylon challenge? must have 1:4 ratio of shield bats to units (cyber counts as 1, so you get up to 4 units after getting that, not counting probes of course.
come gather round zealots I expected you to roam , don't you come back till you kill me a drone, with this stupid build Im not gonna be chilling quite a surprise to hear you sing Dylan ^^

How does this strat sound: *Combined Arms* -- you are only allowed to attack using armies that contain at least one stargate, robo, *and* warp gate unit.
I posted a comment with the link to the twitch of Yogo, to the video where he played these games, but when I logout it doesn't appear. Are links blocked, or am I shadowbaned ?
Oh, I just realized I can probably just cut up the link and TH-cam will not mind. Not the most convenient but oh well. ww w.twitch.t v/videos/646614014?t=00h04m17s Will it work, will it not ? Let's see ! (Spoiler alert : he's not nearly as fun and energetic as harstem)

Quality commenting lately Tim. I think I'll have a go at #3 next week. And perhaps #1 at a later date.
Keep 'em coming!
I love Harstem, and his jokes. You could drink too much and steal my "garden midgets" all you want. You're the king

That o face
"Battery overcharge won't be useful" *has to defend continual roach all ins with archons*.
Kevin, Kevin, my dude
I feel like the point of this challenge was to a-move and not micro your army and these were the most micro intensive matches I've seen in a while.
Wall the natural to make it un-scoutable and take the third as your natural to confuse the opponent into thinking you are playing extremely greedy.
This is genius
That's how i play normally. I just don't wall off. Money comes first
Have you forgotten that overlords fly??
12:44 you naughty boy

"If I don't know what I'm doing how can my opponent know?" That perfectly sums up my game.
No one going to comment on how he called called them garden midgets instead of garden gnomes at 18:16? lmao
I don't know how it's called where he lives but in france a garden gnome is litteraly called garden midget so maybe he just translated from his language to english without knowing the true name
Harstem is like a robot programmed to have a really funny sense of humor
"Garden Midgets" bout dropped me, funny because of mental image and that Harstem clearly wasn't trying to offend anyone...Love this vid
lmao harstem when you went on that tangent at 18:00 about your jokes I was dying

This is very opponent dependant
Also he said that he doesnt want to do challenges that make his opponent feel bad
You can A move me anytime 😜🌈
I wasn't going to put the rainbow in but predictive text suggested it 🤣😂
Predictive text must be run by AlphaStar xD
The fact that you know nearly anyone of note on the ladder... with personal notes, experiences, and histories. How do they not know its you. Lol
probably the name |||||||||||||| is having a pretty big role in that
A-move only army - proceeds to juggle archons in warp prism every game lol
"English is a pretty crap language" - most native speakers would agree with that assessment I think
Definitely
I didn't watch the whole video so I don't know why he said that, but as a non-native speaker I like English.
Harstem: no one likes my jokes.
Also Harstem: Garden midgets
Me: liked, subscribed

Yeah I like your jokes despite them being kinda oddly specific
The self-roasting from like 18 onwards is just gold i love it. you got my subsribe
new idea: pick a strat which you wanna play and tell your opponent at the beginning of the game :D
he dont like things like things like that which can insult the other player / make them a bad day
26:23 Harstem Ahegao Harstem Ahegao
I love that you make challenges and jokes in this sweaty game.
lmao these jokes @19:00ish are too good
"I wonder if anyone likes my jokes?"
hahaha
This one was pretty fire when he insults your build order. And the drawing with the shadow
Came for the quality builds, stayed for the jokes. Keep it up, man!
Here's an idea!
Yin Yang/Air and Land challenge:
1)You must have your army units split into exactly two groups. Flyers in one group and ground dwellers in the other.
2)Their vision should be kept from overlapping.
3) Their respective supplies should be kept as close to equal as possible (i.e. if one army takes an engagement and drops in supply the other must trade out to balance or refuse fights until the other is brought back up to speed).
4) All other elements of gameplay not explicitly listed remain at your discretion.
Cheers! Love your stuff
I was laughing my ass off this whole video, you're content is next level
Next strategy for the new patch:
Proxy Nexus for offensive Battery Overcharge. Can proxy a robo or stargate with it.
This vid title is literally the best rhyme by far
I've got an idea for a challenge:
Play Starcraft 2 in BW mode, meaning you can't select more than 12 units at a time.
More hardcore versions are selecting 1/3/6/ units at a time.
Nexus recall in the enemy base. That one was a classic
Love the friendly banter
That overcharged battery heals 2 archons to full shield for like 3s, that is so good.
I have a challenge. Only 1 pylon. Supply can only increase by building nexi.
Came for the SC. Stayed for the jokes.
Stupid stuff suggestion:
Misplaced nexus
Start by misplacing every base by one hex. Every time you win increase the amount of misplacing by an additional hex.
Hopefully you will have ridiculous mining by the end.
I love your jokes though. ;-; Dry humor is my favorite.
"Your build was stupid" 🤣🤣🤣😵
should have told him "thats why its called beating grandmaster with stupid stuff" when he says your build is stupid.
Absolute gold content
I am sensing a theme here lol
ur jokes is THE reason i tune in x)
Suggestion: the first unit you build is the most expensive unit you are allowed to build the rest of the game.
now you must caustic spray multiple buildings at the same time. you can still have an army out on the map.
Petition to officially rename garden gnomes to garden midgets.
i was literally laughing when he was questioning his jokes
FYI Harstem, Garden Midgets = Gnomes. I got you fam.
6:46 - NEVER WRONG!!! LOL
Very satisfying seeing you beat him with the "stupid" build
I feel like those were some perfect games to showcase the shield overcharge and we only saw it once :(
I don't think the super intense archon-warp prism micro counts as A-move. 😂
in the second game an overcharge on your archons would have been great, but I have to admit, your jokes were on point....again.... :)
Your jokes are key to my viewership
A move is an Alpha move when it's harstem
"...cuts charity fund. Still spends 12 thousand euros on strawberries, though" XD
I have amazing idea but it would require you to play Terran are you open to playing other races for BGMWSS?
22:00 "in general English makes absolutely no sense, must have been invented by a complete idiot" =) >< such a good point😂
WHO HAS THE STUPID BUILD NOW
Harstrem for prez asap.
you can hit on my mom anytime hars, no matter how many joints we've smoked
thats why we are here, for the strawberry jokes xDD
12:38 sneaky sneaky
I love your jokes, carry on
nice intro
2:19 bug. "Base is under attack" when zerg attacked probe. 2 times
12:28 another bug with batteries
Can't wait to see the next exciting episode of beating Yogo with stupid stuff :-p ggwp
What about if you make two lists of 6 toss units, assign a number 1-6 on each list. Then roll two die during loading screen to pick main two units for your army. Same unit could be on both lists but cant be repeated on a single list. Wouldnt need to be a purely two unit type army, just try to feature those two units.
Says this is A move army. Also does ghetto blink prism micro like a g lol
I was waiting for mass Muta flyover archon until the end. Then I reread the title
With those roach all ins, a couple more shield batteries could have made the difference.
How about a shield battery-is-my-pylon challenge? must have 1:4 ratio of shield bats to units (cyber counts as 1, so you get up to 4 units after getting that, not counting probes of course.
New season this will be fun
me Ice and chrome is the only stage I've lost on so far
Whenever I get the same person a few times, I hold off on hitting the go button for like a minute.
come gather round zealots I expected you to roam ,
don't you come back till you kill me a drone,
with this stupid build Im not gonna be chilling
quite a surprise to hear you sing Dylan ^^
Suggestion: inspired by the last game, win with any build, but you must announce it to your oponents before you execute it.
Harstem must be top 1 EU trash talk 🤣🤣
I'll really get mad if I lost to stupid builds but if it was Harstem I won't be even mad.
