According to the transitive property of MMR, Paxters beat ShoWTimE and took his points. GGWP to him; if only he knew of his accomplishments, including securing naming rights to Harstem's firstborn. What an absolute legend.
@@RileyEmmons no, it was german, probably because it was against showtime, he is dutch but we learn german in school and tend to find it verry funny, especialy sentences like "was ist loss". loss is german for wrong, so it means "whats wrong" but loss also feels like the dutch word los, wich means unattached, i always find it funny because it feels like you insult someone by implying their brain is unattached, but i dont know if that is a universal dutch people thing, or an autistic me thing
Hello Harstem. Fellow Dutchman protists since launch day of SC1 i've been watching you play for years and years. This game against showtime is the most beautiful expression of protists I've ever seen. You are a dangerous being.
@Dmitrii Selivanov He usually starts at diamond with his alts and makes it to GM in a few dozen games and continues playing from there for a while. He also plays tournaments against high level opponents.
Ideas for challenges for the future, I have 1 for each race and a final stupid one. I am aware of the guidelines, but I am also an Idiot at heart. Z: God save the Queen challenge. Your first queen gets its own control group and must be kept alive, if she dies you must gg. You may play as normal outside that condition. P: The Back before Unification Challenge. You may only play either Templar units (zealots, Adepts, immortals, High Templar, pheonix, tempest, carrier) or Dark Templar units (Stalker, DT’s, Void rays, Oracles) on the field at any given time, no matter which you choose either side can use the unmentioned units like sentries, warp prisms, disrupters, tempest, etc. other than that play however you want, all builds/buildings etc allowed. T: The Cruisin’ for a boozin’ challenge. For this one, some liqour is required. You must play Battlecruisers, at least 1 per game. When a BC is lost, a shot of liqour must be ingested. Please Cheese Responsibly. Beer substitutes acceptable at whatever volume you’re open too, for a sobriety friendly option drink club soda/sparkling water by itself, that stuff always sucks. The stupid anyrace one: Don’t Rank and Drive. You must carry on a phone conversation with a friend, relative, or other creature of the sea about something unstarcraft related while playing. Favorite Movies, Favorite Desserts, funny memories, the subject matter is up to you as is your build. I’d wager you’d be Masters 3/Diamond 1 if you had to talk to your grandmother or your best friend on the phone every game you played. Love the content! You rock!
9:13 Imagine if Harstem sent a GLHF at this point :D. It would've been the ultimate BM similarly to the Zerg who GLHF him after seeing his weird pacifist zealots :D.
maaan i used to be pretty decent at sc2 like years and years ago.. i played ladder and unranked 1v1's for hours every day, looked up builds, wrote down builds, watched replays... just popped the game open after binging your videos for weeks now and lost to a silver league terran on one base as zerg hahaha guess this stuff doesn't exactly stick with you unless you play a lot!
na brother I disagree, I mean obviously you're correct to an extent but I took a 10 year break since the release of HoTS and when I came back a few months ago I was diamond 3 initially, even after crippling my hand in the meantime so you still retain a lot of skill and understanding, I dont think someone who was Masters ever in sc2 could ever lose to a silver no matter how long a break they take, because at the end of the day they have trained the basic muscle memory and game knowledge. It's like if a great guitarist stopped playing guitar, they might be shit compared to how they used to play but they still wouldn't be comparable to a beginner learning to play if they've mastered the instrument at any point
but obviously if you've only played one game then your muscle memory and memory in general will come back very quickly if you play a few more games, it won't all be there after one game but it will largely come back if you play a bit more
Unrelated dumb video idea... starts with a coaching session between you and Lambo. He helps you go over a game where you'd tried each other's favorite race/build-order. He's very encouraging, very professional. Then it switches to an Imba session, where you're by yourself, and you critique his performance in a similar match you won. Very blunt, very Harstem. It'd be funny if he didn't know about the second part...
Hey Harstem! Why I have seen games when you invest in phoenix, the opponent goes for an early attack for the kill, and you lose all defencive forces before phoenix arrives. For example in this last game of the series th-cam.com/video/IYvPfwCJwJ4/w-d-xo.html, tanks got 10 unnecessary hits in siege mode on your defencive units, before the phoenix arrives. 10 hits are massive amount of damage. Ofcourse the attack may have been too strong anyways, but wouldn't it be more effective to allow structural damage, keep the defencive units from taking damage as much as possible and warp units in safe position. 5 phoenix can lift 3 tanks atleast for the time zealots get in, and they also absorb a lot damage Well, probably you tried to do it, becouse the units in third were moved back, but probably went in becouse of the cyclone. But the 2 zealots in the natural were clearly sent in to die, and the warp in the third was in tank range
Nope, it's not grammatically wrong. You can use the 1st Personal Subject Pronoun to refer to yourself in a Predicate Nominative statement. While "It is me" is correct and more common. "It is I" is considered to be a formal.
You just did 4 gate blink stalker all-in 10 years later, after professional starcraft just took such a massive loss? This is how Protoss killed starcraft first time.
In the early stages of the game, they noticed protoss is basically hopeless against early game bio in small numbers, so they added shield battery overcharge, and overpowered pylons for a while. but what happened is, terrans kept complaining that protoss wouldn't die to early bio in small numbers, so they keep nerfing it. Shield battery overcharge is the most worthless thing. All it does is let you live 10 seconds longer if it causes terran to pull back briefly. Terrans are so embarrassingly pathetic.
I once say a terran get a lot of units stasis fielded. They won 3/4 games still but lost that one when they instantly withdrew. I suspect Terran would have won if they stayed in, but they'd been winning so hard despite being outplayed, that I think they felt guilty and wanted to lose one. So my point is, that stasis needs to be nerfed, and if there is another patch, I bet it will be.

Protoss brain: "We're not going to proxy anything, that's right we're not going to build anything out on the map! Wow that is exciting"
“Terrans are practically Zergs, just different” - my boy Harstem 8 Mar. 2023 😂
Kevin, your reaction after the third game had me dying laughing 😂😂
When you are so excited that you start speaking german. I like it :D
Huh huhuhuu? Aha! Ja! Was ist los?1
I reckon it’s because he just won over ShowTime 😂
Wait isn't it dutch?
@@RileyEmmons no, it was german, probably because it was against showtime, he is dutch but we learn german in school and tend to find it verry funny, especialy sentences like "was ist loss". loss is german for wrong, so it means "whats wrong" but loss also feels like the dutch word los, wich means unattached, i always find it funny because it feels like you insult someone by implying their brain is unattached, but i dont know if that is a universal dutch people thing, or an autistic me thing
@@ariebaudoin4824 to be correct, "Was ist los" is closer to "What's the matter?" Or "What happened"? Usually implying something bad just happened.

@15:15 smart strategy to bait the enemy away from the front. Nice little move there 😄
Yea I think that won him the game. Or if he blinked into the main I think that could have worked.
16:30 when you are so excited you accidentally speak german :D
I thought I heard an exuberant was ist los? there at the end. That's pretty funny.
harstem saying "was ist los" mady my day
"And the cheasiest man alive is [ay ay Captain]" should've been the intro 😁
18:05 internet remembers
So after 13 years, we've finally gone full circle. The 4-gate lives on.
My oh my....isnt that the cheesiest man alive???
I do love the classic 1 base 4 gate blink all in.
It makes me happy that harstems every other upload recently has had cheese in the title😂
Harstem you'll always be cheesy in my heart, but after watching some uThermal he's just built different. We need a cheese off.
Uthermal cheeses at low mmr. At that level - Harstem can play anything.
@@anarios-ryd he’s literally cheesing in the weekly ESL against elazer, maxpax… not sure what is high mmr if they are low.
@@WhoTFstolemyname ah, then I missed it. Last time I watched him - he was creating alt accounts and cheesing at relatively low mmr.
uThermal is cool, but I find Harstem more entertaining

Thanks!

Last game you killed the little capicabra giraff thing, that's why you lost
2:00 what if it were 2 adepts? do you just full wall or wait for faze?
That came so late i was almost retired Harstem 2023
I can stop it
** Presses the pause button **
master harstem, please let me witness a turret rush
Is blink stalker really a cheese, I am thinking more of a tomato sauce, but not sure about cheese ;)

Whats the blink all in build order?
>Still wearing that black sweatshirt
Lol how many videos did Harstem make in a row for us (not that I don't wear the same sweatshirt everyday)
I love harstem

Blink all in isn't cheesy. That's bread and butter for metal league.....lol.
Harstem are you going to take on dota2 like grubby? It'd be a lot of fun! I'd watch =)
Is it imba or do they suck?
"Was ist los?!"
You're a content MACHINE!
Nice games!
TopSpecnaz tribute?
I clicked on this video because I had no way to tell what was that darkened structure in the thumbnail so I had to find out
It definitely takes a StarCraft lore expert to determine that building simply from the silhouette
Woooo
Hey Harstem, could you cheese next time with a build that ChatGPT is recommending you?
@16:31 Harstem I think says something in Dutch anyone know what he says?
Was ist los Means What’s up? Or What’s happening?
he says it in German, because his opponent ShowTime (DieMauer) is German
@@vlandorrackhum5420 @Mason Neville ty
i'm engaged!
All im waiting for is the next Iodis. And yet,
week after week it gets pushed further back.

The cheesiest man am I or is me, isn´t it? Im not native english speaker and it sounds very wrong how harstem saying it. gl hf Floppi
“Is I” is a valid way of saying it. “Is me” also works but “is I” gives it a more poetic feel
Nope, it's not grammatically wrong. You can use the 1st Personal Subject Pronoun to refer to yourself in a Predicate Nominative statement. While "It is me" is correct and more common. "It is I" is considered to be a formal.
Yup, wanna sound like a b1/b2 - say it is me. Wanna sound like c1 - it is I :)

You sound like a noob.
@@henningbreede6428 you sound like you jump to conclusions on very little information.
The whole point is so the protoss can survive just a few seconds longer to buy time for their response/counter to come out.-
@@tambaz2276 and then terran also has reinforcements so that cancels out to no benefit
