Harstem, I suffer from depression and whenever you post a new video my mood lifts a bit. Your humor is hilarious, and it's so chill just watching you play some starcraft. All the best man thanks for the great content and laughs.
@Michael Lochlann I always try to rationalize my way out of it, but you're ultimately right. I do get caught in those spirals. Before you know it you're having a lot of confidence in some pretty dark thoughts.
@@ieaturanium574 moving the depo up and down the whole time while talking in the chat is hilarious. Say stupid shit like: That makes you wonder what is coming next doens't it?
Its so funny to see players surprised by their own race. A while back he got killed by a bunch of DT's. You just don't get to appreciate how hard things hit until on the receiving end. 1 flying disco ball, how bad could it be? haha
7:45 Did you just say Will Smith being better then Robin Williams? Bruh the disrespect is outstanding. He's looking down on your drapes right now in disappointment
dunno but "Stars" became kinda super cringe lords during the c-situation. never cared about the preaching of rich fucks but I care especially less since a year. if one of them gets insulted when compared to another... GOOD. they are all shit people or they wouldn't be in the positions they are in. just check out how your chances in society to rise, rise the more of an psychopath you are. fuck this system. fuck the society
Silver League Pro Tip: put a bunch of workers in each mineral line on autorepair: you always save money by pulling off mining and repairing, than not pulling and rebuilding lost units.
It's surprising that a such a high skilled SC2 player with such a high entertainment skill have less than 100k subscribers. Damn, take my sub and let us give him what he deserves!
In my Plat-3 opinion, your game against the Zerg was going swimmingly until you made too many tanks against the Hydra/Viper composition. That would have gone better for you with a handful fewer tanks and a return to Cyclone/Hellion periphery attacks. Hold the center like you did, keeping his main army in a defensive position while picking at the sides with a couple speedy groups of Cyclone/Hellion. You need the cyclones with the hellions to kill the queens or at least act as insulation so your fragile, drone-roasting hellions don't die so quickly. Your opponent was able to pull off the nydus because your composition was so tank-heavy and immobile that you had next to nothing in the way of a reaction force. Neither could you rapidly pick up and go home, nor take advantage of his weakened front line and push in. The tanks are just too slow without a more mobile support element. Bio is great for that, but in this case Hellion/Cyclone served you very well until your tank count rose to the point of pushing them almost entirely out of your composition. Okay, my lowly punk-ass has just tried to give advice to a grand master. Roast me. Roast me now. I can take it.
I liked the "misclick" sending the SCV with the banshees. It would be cool to see them repaired between engagements with an SCV chilling at the 5th or 6th base. How much more damage could you do if you didn't have to worry about taking some damage on the banshees?
"Do I want to drive my bike with a helmet, or do I want to drive my bike with money? Always go with money helmets are for losers" You should be an inspirational speaker
You kept your tanks just a little too far back of the high ground, if they were in range of the high ground, then the vikings could both spot high ground and force the Infestors back. Then the army would have been forced to attack into the tank fire, as it was, you were spotting with cars, and killing them with your own splash from the tanks.
I think u lost tanks vs viper game (game 3) because when your opponent used up all energy on vipers to abduct multiple tanks, u just stayed where u are, not pushing in - and I think that was the golden opportunity to start leapfrogging your tanks up the ramp, and pushing in - while vipers are out of energy, aka dead weight army supply. Instead, you waited and waited until they replenished their energy, came back and pulled more of your tanks, and then you waited again, and the vipers returned some time later once again, to abduct some more. Basically, you never pushed in, and just let your opponent abduct, replenish energy, abduct, until u had no viable army, at which point you desperately tried to start moving in, but at that point, just not enough units left on your side. I see this quite often in pro games, and I'm always curious as to why people don't push in once the vipers use up their energy? Why wait for them to replenish it? I genuinely don't know it there's something I don't understand, or it's as simply as fear of losing the battle (something along the lines of: "Oh no he just abducted 6 of my tanks, now my army is not as strong, I should not push in or I'll die, I'll just wait to rebuild my army"). But surely, pushing in is a much better choice than sitting and waiting for the opponent to continuously abduct your expensive units, generating insane value per viper, since they don't actually die and keep abducting.
He also had a compositional fuck-up. He had literally 20+ tanks, which isn't what you want. When you are playing this style of mech, with little airtoss, you want to stay on hellion/cyclone for a while and trade with the banshees, when your tanks come out you use them for a finishing push. He never did that, instead he traded away all his cyclone/hellion into the hydras and never made anymore. Cyclones get worse against vipers but they are still doable against a lone count, as they can kill them and are abduct bait for your tanks to push in faster. However just going hellion/tank is still viable with some vikings. Instead harstem used the vikings like they were attacking colossi and got them all killed, which was obviously a huge mistake, and he couldn't punish it either since his entire army was just tanks. He also tried to push up against a ramp when he could have just started a bit more south and ended the zerg on equal terms.
man... I have been practicing this build all week. You missed both the time for CC and second supply, as well as both Barracks placements and bunker. (Optional though) By the time you got supply blocked you should have had two supply on the way and then begin Engineering Bay- and save for the fourth CC... But- you are correct- this is a very good opener for Terran, and obviously has enough leeway to forgive building order as long as you get the second CC on time.
So is microing the SCVs when you build barracks by stopping and restarting the building process, to make them pop-out at the right side, less effective than lifting the barracks?
could have done BC's in the mineral lines to disjoint his army, those wasteful mellow tank pushes needed more vikings and bio mixed in in time I guess. How about thors also. :) you were using light units & tanks only
vipers counter both thors and vikings, and kev didnt have enough production to get enough vikings. i think he just needs to look at what he wants to do against vipers and jusr have a plan
Man you are supposed to make some thors to zone out vipers, they have so much range in antiair thats why if he grab your stuff he looses his vipers to thors or he cant rlly put units out of the range of your tanks
Well, now that we know what your capable of... we're gunna need to hear some more of that totally authentic German. Oh yea,... also gj with Terran or whatever. xD
i think u can waypoint scvs to the side you want them to pop out. also ist the "collossi" instead of "collosus" for a singular unit a meme? i thought i was on the inside.
What was that first build order with the double techlab? Pull SCVs off gas for more minerals and 2 extra rax right after natural before dropping factory?
If we're talking about the last build I'd say after scouting delay of the orbital command you should go robo first and add battery or two for extra safety on the natural and keep your units at home. Also simultaneously scouting the map to be sure what's happening is a good idea because in the Gold league your opponent can forget to make an orbital. At 3:10 you should have 2 stalkers and the third one is about to pop up, 2 batteries, start immortal.

Would love to see the replay file for 3rd game! Incredible early defense from Zerg.
36:01 that moment when you find your army stocked in your natural 😂😂😂 we all have been there
It was a beautiful moment :)
A humbling experience.
Good ol' traffic design failure.
Gave him more chance to get some ghosts and EMPs out on the vipers, instead of all the tanks getting abducted to death. oh wait lmao
Nothing quite like your favorite Starcraft 2 player doing a Dutch/German accent in English.
You have to love it.

He already is? Or are we here to watch him play? I cant imagine.
That quote could just as easily have come from Garry V
The German accent was very good and authentic. Thumbs up for not screaming.
Terran to rank 100 is basically harstem cheesing to grandmasters.
the german impression was the best, thank you
Harstem! did you suggest that will smith's geenie was better than Robbin Williams!???? UNSUB! JK
34:56 - I know what you mean, The Baneling is the Viper of *MY* existence. :p
"Lower level players...anything below the top 100"
Your definition of low is rather different to mine.
You kept your tanks just a little too far back of the high ground, if they were in range of the high ground, then the vikings could both spot high ground and force the Infestors back. Then the army would have been forced to attack into the tank fire, as it was, you were spotting with cars, and killing them with your own splash from the tanks.
2:40 getting it up is always a good thing vs. not being able to
The german impression near the end absolutely killed me. Great video!
You should play more Terran...
8:15 Ahh he proves himself to be a Dutchman
We gotta get this guy to 100k subs. Your content is great, Harstem!

36:05 happens to the best. Well, happens to me anyway.
Harstem speaking German is the best thing in life
I always smile a how Harstem refers to Hellions as 'Cars'
I would like to submit the game at 22:48 to "Is it imba or do I suck"
"Zwei Marauders xD. Das is night gut...."
The moment Harstem saying “Hardstuck”, it’s like a new nickname.
Hardstuck, the Jolly Rainbow German.
that expression on his face in the thumbnail already made my day XD
That last one was GOOD. Nice games, yes, MarineLord has some really good builds.

I like watching you play, you're good and funny.
I absolutely lost it at the end. That German accent omg
big fan of the german impression kevin
So is microing the SCVs when you build barracks by stopping and restarting the building process, to make them pop-out at the right side, less effective than lifting the barracks?
I thought about that too
I guess it's a bit more rng reliant since you can get unlucky and actually take longer than lifting would take.
Interesting. I saw Maru opting for it while proxy raxing. I guess I'd have to check, but don't think it's worth wasting time ;)
Lol, the rage pause.
He predicted the adept would come in 3 seconds. EXACTLY

I dont think Will Smith is better than Robin Williams just differenet...
i think u can waypoint scvs to the side you want them to pop out.
also ist the "collossi" instead of "collosus" for a singular unit a meme? i thought i was on the inside.
but kevin, that won't work, he'll see your delayed cc timing
Why not throw down turrets to create safety for your backline tanks?

Wärri gud jerman eksent, ju häw. :D

if you move in and out your camera the shimmer of the observer will move
What was that first build order with the double techlab? Pull SCVs off gas for more minerals and 2 extra rax right after natural before dropping factory?
As a Gold protoss player I would love to see videos on how to counter these terrain builds.
If we're talking about the last build I'd say after scouting delay of the orbital command you should go robo first and add battery or two for extra safety on the natural and keep your units at home.
