- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.พ. 2022
- This game is an absolute slugfest. We have ASTRONOMICAL trades. I did not even know that you could lose so many minerals in so little time. And of course there also is a whining Terran... Smash like and enjoy, I'm off to my well earned vacation after this one!!

'My advanced bio army of mostly marines' Only a Terran.
Well, would be strange for a Protoss or Zerg to say. Right?
To be fair he used a lot of ghosts later on
@@Krarilotus He *had a lot of ghosts later on XD
I had advanced army of pure ling and I lost. Is it Imba?
1: he probably means he uses a ton of ghosts later
2: he might also be referring to being ahead on upgrades
Captain, you asked why the Zerg wasnt winning. The answer seems clear: Terran is imba. The guy was clearly carried by F2 and stim.
He needs to stop making mines. In his army they are just Marines that don't shoot.
@@Jordan-Ramses The mines are absolutely viable, inferior to tanks when the zerg plays this nonsense with hydra/lurker only but he would still be completely owning if he learns to control his units.
@@henningbreede6428 sure. If you actually bury them. He just f2's them around with his army as moral support. Well he did bury some. But he F2'd a lot of them to their death. The ones he did bury didn't seem very useful. Just seems like mines were a big waste of APM and resources. He could have just had more Marines and medivacs.
@@Jordan-Ramses moral support is important, just saying
@@idodeclare6804 I do declare that you have a valid argument.
The Hydra rave was by far the best part of the video. Thank you Hamster.
HydRAVE
They're take the hobbits to Isengard!
I love the "Ingame decision making: non existant" and we only hear it, left in blank
:D I was just confused, when I heard the sound and nothing was there :D
I flinched when they started running toward the lurkers single file.
I creamed myself but then again I’ve seen it happen more than once lol
The funniest thing about it. He doesn’t even have to rush. He can just scan and use snipes.
I get it if your a protos at the lower levels. Cause you actually need a unit to detect them.
Also made it even worse when he complained about his tanks dying which serve the same purpose and then not say. Hm how can I copy this
So the Zerg takes like 10 bases and you take MAYBE 5, so the Zerg mines twice as many resources as you, and you barely lose in a very long game and that means Zerg is Imba….. this really makes me think this has to have been submitted as a complete joke, but maybe they’re just delusional.
Not delusional, just narrow minded, ignorant, and arrogant xd
No he just plays terran...it seems to hold true that for terrans unless they stomp their opponents in a crushing victory, the other races are unbalanced. They can even win and still complain!
@@tomatodamashi that was the other option I was thinking as well… seems to be a common trend
I'm like 90% sure that the primary purpsoe of those five evo chambers was to mentally dominate Paladin, with Viper fodder being secondary to that.
Loved the invisible stamp for non existing spliting 😂😂😂
absolutely lost it there :D
My smooth brain thought it was an editing mistake for like 20 seconds, before I realized that it was "nonexistent".
this was so golden
20:51 I'm gonna be honest I fell for this one for a solid 20 seconds as I tried to figure out wtf the settings had to do with it, I had paused the video and everything, successful troll.
Mr Editor I too need help. No cogwheel to be found send help. TYIA also I too can't split units or make buildings I also move command my army into lurkers in a nice big ball. Help with that too XD
@15:10 "The hydras are going to Isengard"
The hydras the hydras the hydras the hydras
To isengard! To isengard!
'the lurker has an attack which goes in a line'
Man ive heard this sentence in IODIS a thousand times
i can only imagine seeing the zerg from this game sending an IIIODIS form regarding the terran and how much damage he managed to do and barely won .
GG from the zerg though, great reaction time !
the zerg didnt really win, power wise terran won. He was just too stupid to realize he was winning.
@@atticus2581 Maybe it is because "winning" from the player's standards was having a big fat army. He didn't realize he had many opportunities to recover or expand the economy.
Yeah the Zerg won because his opponent was too stupid to finish him off. Not that the Zerg didn’t make good moves but hydra viper isn’t the comp to use against bio. Maybe it works vs mech heavy comps. I mean the blinding clouds aren’t a bad idea you can cut their surface area down significantly but you need actual DPS in the army just hydras ain’t gonna cut it. LBH + Viper is a great you’ve got blinding cloud to mess up bio DPS or knock out tanks and yoinks to kidnap their valuable units as well as PB to melt their medivac ball.
Lmfao when he said "non-existant" and hamster made the stamp sound but without an actual stamp. Well done
Such a good detail from Hamster.
"that's like saying that magma is too strong , because your neighbour walked into a volcano" that was priceless
i was honestly baffled how this zerg lost all the fights until the end, he seemed to be so much smarter and quicker than the terran
he needed more banelings
@@Sidecutt3 yeah
Today I rekt a 3600 Terran with lurkers. He had a habit of unsieging all his tanks at once, while I was looking at them.
Nothing feels better than seeing that
Hey you put a lot of work into this video. I found it to be very entertaining and I enjoy it more than your regular casting. Really appreciate your love for the game and your patience and will to share your game experience as someone who is playing on the pro level. Big shoutout
You and Hamster were absolutely wonderful this game, I loved the editing, from the dance to the non existent stamp.
Genuinely baffled as things kept going, but it was a hilarious way to start the morning.
Thank you.
this comment should be way higher - the very two things I wanted to highlight as well, the dance to "taking the hobbits to Isengard" and the nonexistent stamp - simply brilliant editing from Hamster
@@csontiMEGAhimihumi Ayyy.
the audio mute made me laugh really hard, too. good job hamster
@@Jai-xv5gz Made me smile.
Alright, starting my day with some IIIODIS, gonna be a good one
Free good day
31:50 Terran be like: Lurker detected. Panic mode enabled. "Snipe" command unrecognized. Back up plan "F2 stim" command executed.
I think around 35:35 the Terran thought he had won and that he only needed clearing creep tumors. That's why he made the ravens. He never realized that his opponent was mining from 3 hives
Did you say mining from 3 HIVES?
@@Ole_Rasmussen problem?
lurkers are just the kind of unit that the lower the players rank they become exponentially better
I mean, once you get low enough the DT just outright wins the game vs T and Z because no detection.
True which is why at certain level lurkers and dt is imba. At highest level Zerg is or at least was also probably imba considering tournament results.
44:10 the nonexistent-stamp has to be my favorite one so far
I think the most what this replay shows is how strong terran actually is.
That 21 min “just messing with ya” 😂
Man I got freaked out real good since I'm below diamond
Hamster really is on fire this episode :D
got me good
After watching for nearly two hours (I took math at the same school where Paladin learned how to round), at 41:20, he just rage-quits after he accidentally right-clicks his entire army into medivacs while 15 hydras are camped out directly underneath them. I think I died even harder than all those marines did when that happened.
The micro wasn't the problem for paladin, using snipes that much is very good job in low diamond, I can't use them with my offrace terran. Him staying on 3 bases with 33 workers on 1 line was the reason he lost. If you are reading this, start using camera locations so you will automatically start to pay attentention to your bases. That way you will transfer workers, expand more and remember to build planetaries so you don't lose your bases.
As other commentors mentioned his mine micro was a problem, he F2'd many to their deaths and burriied most others in places were they were of little to no use. Better micro or building some units that could at least shoot when F2 A-moved instead of the mines might have helped make up for bad economy.
His micro was a problem
Even in ghost phase becayse he kept having his snipe canceled 90% of the time by A moving army with ghost instead of just ghost tactically moving out, resulting in lurker attacks incidentally hitting ghost and canceling majority of snipes
@@allhailderpfestor4839 I didn't know that. I guess that's the reason why my sniping sucks :D
Yeah. This guy needs to learn control-groups - then he can graduate to learning camera keys. I hate the default keybinds. He needs unbind f2 completely. As Terran, I keep my bio on grp1 and my tanks & ghosts on f1 (I use the first few function keys as control groups for my casters). I strongly recommend getting a gaming mouse cuz the extra buttons are almost required to master SC2. I use the side buttons on my mouse as stop and attack commands, so I don't have to waste those keys on the keyboard. So when I engage with my bio, I just spam right-click (move command), & side-button (stop command) in order to kite. Makes my micro look godly: but, in reality, I'm just clicking 2 buttons back and forth on the mouse: middle-finger, thumb, middle-finger, thumb, middle-finger, thumb. And cuz it's all on the mouse, my whole left hand is freed up so I can be ready to jump to any of my other control groups or whatever and I don't have to keep my fingers glued to the a or s keys.
@@realdizzle87 wow thats actually pretty helpfull
The trade info at the left at 12:41 says that "zerg lost 450 resources" but the stats show the terran did. Rip typo
No one can replace Harstem.
wnder if Sheldon from BBT is any good at SC
Haha, I'm pretty sure I've versed this guy once before roughly 1 and a half years ago. Interesting to see him here.
I think he had an army of like 40 marines and 4 marauders, he had been playing better than most terrans I had faced and actually got ahead of me (a protoss) in the early game which is unheard of in diamond league.
But then with this army... he had no marauders and lost the entire thing in 5 seconds to 2 collosi because he didn't know well... how collosi worked.
Hi, I'm Paladin (can prove it if you want), what's your username? I can check my replays :D
@@akpaladin6835 It was a while ago... My username could've been either [YD2K]You or dairyproduct I think.
At the very least I recognize your name so perhaps it was from team game or arcade game but yeah.
@@You-ul8qw Can't find the game but I can look more later
@@akpaladin6835 love how your letter did not match the gameplay at all. delusional analysis lmao
@@ppjerry420
This Zerg reminds me of me. We just keep chucking dozens of hydras against a bioball on creep that'd get solved by some banes :(
Hamster, that LotR rave was amazing! Your editing is just better and better, Harstem should pay you more :D
I love that the dancing hydras music was LOTR
I can't imagine being a terran and not going for siege tanks. It's one of the best possible units. Of course all terran units are imba so you could say that about like 6 different units.
that this guy almost won by only looking at his army is impressive and just shows how op terran is haha
Did anyone realised yet, that "Hamster" is an anagram to "Harstem"? (Maybe it was his intension in the first place, but I just noticed that now XD)
I know its an old one by now, but I just saw it today, and almost died... the creep and hygiene comparison at 17:22 had me on my knees... the smelly friend - what a legend... and one of worlds greatest pragmatists as well... 😂😂😂 I'm starting to like this dutch guy... hope on one in Vienna notices 😱
24:20 I literally said out loud "oh please back up. Please back up. oh no."
Haven't heard they're taking the Hobbits to Isengard in 10 years, it's still funny, thanks Harstem 😂
9:01 i dont have to imagine that
funny how the terran made himself sound really good in his letter, only to get exposed
What a great way to start a day with fresh IODIS series! Thanks Captain!
Your analogies are the absolute best in the world man. They make me laugh so much
"your ingame decision making was non-existant" _non-existant stamp noise_
Love it
12:35 Why did he go back to the confusing "minus X for the winner" format?
16:40 And now going back to normal lol
10:08 My best guess is that the wall is supposed to accomplish the same goal as a star fort IRL, funneling attackers into a "kill zone" in the center where they can be targeted by more ranged defenders on both sides. The problem is that a smart opponent will just target the supply depots on the end.
That guy is just legit using F2 and A move most of the time lol
Got me with the taking the hobbits to isenguard….. got me good
Harstem you should do a BGMWSS as a Terran but you're not allowed to build a marine
This game was actually pretty good! I enjoyed it, how the zerg pulled the terran apart just by building on all sides of the map at the same time, without the terran realising he could scout multiple angles with singel marines and such if he didn't use f2 all the time
-> I would argue, the actual OP strategy here is, that zergs get too much free scouting with creep + can burrow, hence use the f2 hotkey without moving their scouting units away from critical vantage points
It is very true, that zerg has the best vision of the races, by far. But as Zerg is the only reaction based race, it is absolutely a must, to see what your enemy is doing. As you've seen, with double the APM and the brainpower, the zerg barely won this game, struggling the whole time. So if there is something op, that is the terran Tier1-2 unit composition armes.
@@drtomo5548 the Zerg was not very good either you are just saying that because we watched the Terran perspective so we are biased to think that the Terran was worse because all we saw was the Terran’s mistakes … watch the replay from the Zerg perspective and tell me again he was vastly better then the Terran…
@@drtomo5548 @Dr Tomo The Zerg threw super hard by making hydra based armies and barely making any banelings against bio.
The terran basically stopped doing anything after taking a massive lead, then stepped on enough legos to kill himself, but the zerg really should have lost the game.
@@madness2488 Zerg was trying to practice Viper IMO. His attacking composition was 5 evolution chamber + 10 viper + 15 hydras :D vs marine-medivac. If he did want to win so bad he'd go ling-bane.
It is actually allowed to clear creep. Spreading it is a whole macro mechanic for the zerg. Especially bio terrans have outstanding tools to do so at a pretty low cost, as marines and medivacs almost always get away when attacked.
Terran tears are the saltiest… 😂😂
My first video of this series, I don't play but it showed up in my algorithm. I absolutely loved it.
The stamp that doesn't exist killed me.
If Harstem retires, I want Hamster (finally) on the show as host! Not just this one, but ALL of them. That includes race switch, grinding all 3 (especially toss) to high level! :D
Noone can deny Hamster's hard work...noone! One of my favorite, if not my favorite editors! Spices up sc2 content even more on top of Harstem's methods of sarcasm, bad puns/jokes that are actually good and knowledge!
Keep up the good work! :)
Actually lol'd from "non-existent" stamp and the mute trolling)
13:25 misplaced third? Op terran
Hamster : Captain Disillusion to replace Captain Harstem perhaps? :D
This was great fun to watch. One of the most entertaining ones for sure! Thnx for sharing :)
I actually wouldn’t recommend 2 1 1 for lower league Terrans. BC opener would be the number 1 but any sort of battlemech opener is extremely hard to deal with for how stupid easy it is to control. Then transition into Thor Lib tank, hell Thor hellbat will win most of the time but Thor Lib tank (with maybe some mines or hellbats sprinkled in). You then rotate your factory/starport units as needed to deal with different comps. If you get tank/lib sieged up with 10 Thors at the zergs base there’s not much a diamond level zerg can do to really stop it. I think the only issue might be timing attacks like a really aggressive Zerg that hits before your on 3 base and stable to take a 4th. Well placed tanks + sim city are hard to break with lair or hatch tech.
Honestly I find mech waaay harder to deal with than skytoss even. Like bio I find challenging but I really feel like I need to be playing beyond my skill level to beat Terran mech.
jajaja I just liked the video as how epic you read the imbalance report!
Lowko should host Is It IMBA Or Do I Suck after Harstems passing
Ok lets look at what he build:
widow mines, liberators, ravens, ghost and marine, medivac and morauder...
he didn't use liberators and WM properly (sieged them up in a big cluster) used ravens only as detection (and mindless turret spam) and the ghosts were used like marine (just A move only sometimes used snipe)
so his main composition is stim-a-move marine marauder medivac + he even used F2 and almost wins...
I was saying before that terran is imba or just really like really easy to play as but this.. now I am 100% confident that if we are not talking about grandmasters and masters terran is just too strong overall, just look at the poor zerg he played really well and just barely managed to win
Ahh, the elusive invisible stamp.. that's a rare sight ;-)
I almost passed out from laughter when you said he could blindly a move across the map go make dinner and come back to the victory screen🤣🤣🤣
12:35 "We're going to have water for dinner for the next three weeks or we're not going to make rent." That really made me laugh. I can just imagine:
"What's for dinner tonight?"
"Water."
"Again? How about tea, or salt soup?"
"Sorry. Gotta be water or we won't make rent."
Hey to be honest that stuff with 4 lurkers butchering the entire lined bio terran army around 32:40 happened to me a couple of times. I just felt so ahead that I was like "meh I'm gonna just Amove these guys and win, what could go wrong" . Not saying lurkers are imba. Maybe probably the worst unit to blindly Amove against (maybe banes are even worse).
Wow, taking the hobbits to isengard remix was a blast from the past. Thank you for that
Harstem now wearing the Rebellion. Nice
"I wonder if he's ever going to snipe any hydras or he just doesn't believe in it" epic.
Is it just me, but Paladin has been in one of the past IODIS episodes
I don't think anybody could take over IIIODIS if harstem retires.
That person isn't born yet, or maybe somebody like reynor would have to get into youtube
reynor still quite behind harstem in showman skills :/
@@MrMcMuggel he's young he's got time to get better
44:05 took me a moment xD
44:10 At first I thought Hamster missed a spot in editing this, but then I realised I've got wooshed
i would like to see a Is it IMBA or do i Suck with someone like Lowko, so that you both "casting" it.
He's done one of Lowko, maybe 2, and Lowko has responded. 😅
the editing realy on point this video amazing job :D
Honestly, your entire channel could be Is it Imba or do I suck, and Cheesiest Man and I’d be so satisfied
Obviously, Hamster is the only possible replacement.
[Non existent stamp noise]
WELCOME TO THE WORLD of F2 TERRANS my FRIENDS!
Terran has something called battlecruisers
is it just me or do I see nova as a ghost at around 22:58
You can also make a engineering bay after your 4th supply depot and it lines up with combat shields
How do you always make my day Hamster? You really are great at making the Cap funny
Glad you guys enjoy it ^^
A couple moments in this one were a bit too intrusive for me (namely the dance party and the fake muting), but still, more great than bad :)
@@Sara_Feingold I mean I loved those parts but each to their own :) Great to hear that the overall experience was good
Imagine if lurkers' attacks would stop at the first unit it hits.
Actually we have this unit in campaign and it is far more powerful than lurker
wow that zerg was clowning on the terran sooo hard - hydra danceparty, evo chamber cluster in the middle of the map - they really didnt care about anything XD
Trade info at 12:38 is wrong or i am blind not sure should be - terran
21:40 "cut it in half" :D
Harstem, one of my favorite youtuber by far, way too underrated.
44:09 took me a second to realise why nothin appeared😂
My God this series is GOLD
Libs are probably fine vs lurkers but I like that his reaction was “Libs + ghosts” and not you know siege tanks that can also hit buildings >.
15:05 Ah, a man of culture.
The terran refused to use snipe OR cloak... i get he was all army or 1 hotkey so he cant use ghosts and stim so he only uses his stims. So at least just use the cloak when the zerg is out of money barely any bases and a pittance of detection.
towards the end i dont think he moved his army in. i think the marines werent on hold position so when they saw the ghosts get attacked they attacked
I will admit, for the first time, i just started jumping forward the starting... book?
Paladins lack of a mech transition after obliterating most of the zergs tech offends my greatly. Mech is very powerful, and the zerg just didn't have the tools avaliable to trade properly against it.
But congrats to the zerg for playing it out. He read paladin very well, and knew that he'd kill himself on lurkers if he was left alone.
Omg harstem that was amazing "muted for people below diamond"... what, he can actually do that!?!?
oh...
*slow clap*
Ty harstem u make my mood at the point im wanna try sc2 again:)
I think the zerg player was purposely taking it slow with the terran player and giving them battles they could win but which would feel like victories. The capability of the zerg's macro was just utterly unmatched by their aggressiveness (or lack thereof). I also believe that such kind opponents may be common in Starcraft 2 tournament because, while I have very little experience there myself, in my recent five placement matches, four out of five of them slowed down to give me time to catch up, while two of those four really stuck around to give me time to try to do well, one of those two even specifically coaching me along. But the terran player is likely a young teen, and is unaware of their lack of skill vs. the opponent who clearly outclassed them, much like how they were unaware of most of the map due to virtually zero scouting effort. I think that's why they chose to submit the report. An adult would not have fooled themselves into believing that their own skill was good enough to justify an iodis report, not at that level.
Your sarcasm is off the charts Hamster😂😂😂
