I found out for the boys. Normally with 16 workers, it's 950. one hex off is 900, two hex 850, three hex 790, four hex around the same as three... then I gave up.
Well done captain
FOR SCIENCE!!!
Did you go only in one direction? Because I think if you go two to the side, and two up/down like Harstem it seems like going 3 horizontally (two times square root of two is 2.82).
Thank you for your service for knowledge
Because.... #Math
@@Maarrk Only one direction yes :)
This continuous giggling over the thought of misplacing a building by 1 hex is something I didn't know I was missing in my life.
I couldn't stop laughing in the third game when the red guy started talking. He seemed absolutely convinced that this was part of some terrifying new kind of cheese strategy 😂
"This guy's gonna think I'm an idiot... Oh no, I forgot my second pylon I AM AN IDIOT!"... #QuotableHarstem
*Builds Nexus in the correct location*
"Oh, I built it in the wrong location!"
imagine if the opponent watched the replay and saw him cancelling the correctly placed nexus and rebuilding it a hex off^^
"Im gonnq keep playing until I lose a game"
52 minutes long video
I've got strong hopes for the later games.
proceeds to lose repeatedly
Now we know Harstem is a true Protoss player. He forgot his second pylon.
i literally forget it 1/3 of my games and i hate that :D
“Hes gonna think im an idiot. I forgot my second pylon. I am an idiot!”
Twenty-one Pylon,
Where's your second Pylon,
You need a second Pylon,
BUILD A FUCKING PYLON
Don't need a second pylon (at 23 supply) if you open nexus first :)
I wonder what Denver was thinking when he forced the cancel on Harstem's fourth, then he proceeded to misplace it right in front of his face...
At 37:00 the rocks shift upwards when he places his cyber core.
awimachinegun happens all the time... no idea why...
Harstem earthbender confirmed
Beating pro players with stupid stuff.
Yeah, but he's off-race.
Yeah, but I'm off-centered.
Two things. 1) this is the most wholesome BM I have ever seen. 2) "I wonder what he is thinking" my opponent is drunk.
This was my favorite challenge yet! I have a few ideas based around buildings that this gave me, some are much much harder than others.
1) Each building can only be powered by a single pylon. Artosis bases.
2) Every base needs a wall off.
3) 3rd before 2nd. You must take your 3rd base location before you take your natural.
4) Pylons OR creep, you must have every pylon "powered' by another pylon. That way new pylons can only be placed next to each other.
I also had that idea of the "pylons must power each new pylon" too, but I think it'd be very easy on its own. So I call it the "Simcity" challenge: first pylon must be in range of the first nexus, then every additional pylon in range of another pylon, and then any additional nexus must be in range of an already built pylon. Also Harstem has to take alteast three bases or the game doesn't count as a win, if he wins.
1) each pylon can only be built inside another pylon's field.
2) you can only build a nexus inside one of your pylons' field
3) you can only attack structures which are inside one of your pylons' field
4) if the pylon chain to your starting position is broken, it must be repaired immediately
In order to attack the enemy, you must build a "pylon highway" from your base to theirs
"Everytime I see red I"m like, oh I need to pull stuff out. No pulling out here boys, we keep em in"
Most famouse sentance this video: "He must think im just such an idiot" -Harstem
Immediately followed by “i am such an idiot”
@@BK557SC so true xD
2:35 imagine his opponent studying the reply and seeing that moment
The captain's pullout game is too strong he instinctively goes for it everytime
No pulling out today, boys
@@Shadowboost and just like in life, not pulling out seems to cause some problems lmao
@@jbx5709 sometimes to get a surprise present, sometimes you don't
"Microbial shroud is also called the 'storm here zone.'"
i love this man
his opponent might be playing “beating grand master with stupid stuff(microbial shroud)” as well
23:24 That was the biggest disruptor shot i've seen in my whole life !
Reminds me of an olddd Husky Starcraft video.. where he flew his CC 5 or 6 tiles back and tried to win like that. Kinda funny when you see 7 scv's on 1 gas. He won by the way.. lol
“Oh no he’s ALSO been doing drugs”
I'm excited this is gonna be good...
What a Wonderful corner of the internet we have found ourselves in.
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen
This is finally such a ridiculous brilliant idea. Love it! xD
I am also happy to see that you have more and more subscribers. You've earned it. Great content!
I can see why it ended since its 52 minutes long but now we need to see you do 3 hex away. We need misplacing nexus pt.2.
Brilliant, one of my favourite so far. Love these challenges where it's obvious to the opponent they are being trolled.
This is some really good stuff chief I laughed out loud multiple times haha what a challenge!
Probe movement speed is 3.94. With some trig, since most of the probes are crossing each hex at an angle, and they have to go both ways, and averaging across maps, is 2.915 hexes. Since the dropoff & mine times aren't affected, it's just the travel time impact. SO: an extra 0.74 seconds per probe works out to about 47.4 minerals per second less, per extra hex off. Lines up nicely with what Brock Watson found empirically. Gas mining is affected differently and harder to calculate because the angle of travel goes from being near-perpendicular with minor losses on the 3rd probe to angled, but with less lost-gathering time because the "3rd" worker isn't interrupted like standard locations. I will leave that math as an exercise for the reader.
Challenge: Beat Grandmasters with a Macro Nexus in main.
Yes I love the idea of macro Nexi, as well as offensive proxy Nexi for recalls. Maybe the challenge could be for each Nexus you build to expand, you have to build another for either Macro or offensive proxy. It'd be hilarious
Put one in your wall too for good measure
Play, but every time you want to warp units in, you have to type the first letter in chat. ZSA=zealot stalker adept. Advanced: if its too easy, buildings. If two names are interchangeable, you must type first two letters Caps, then lowercase.
Barcode Zerg: "I'm going to do a roach rush on your natural and destroy his economy"
Harstem: "I have no economy to destroy, therefore I win"
I love how much joy you get out of something so simple yet goofy. This is why we're here
Brilliant vid as always Kev, so enjoyable watching you having fun with these.
(was a bit early for me to enjoy watching with my dinner though...)
The fun in this is to hear Harstem laugh like a little girl so many times over those nexuses :)
Harstem, keep up the great work. Really like what you do.
Great video. Very fun. It's neat how you included the lego art. I used to love playing with Lego
39:26 the moment Harstem's subconscious was done with this challenge
hillarious! I love the fact that passions are heating up with every game!
harstem you're my new fav sc2 guy to watch, because you're really good, knowledgeable, but most important your manner of speaking is very laid back!
Your content is fantastically wholesome. Also the pulling out joke 😂 @8:50
I dont think Harstem pulls out though, once he's in, he goes all the way. No homo.
Hey Harstem nice to see you ! I told you this idea a month ago, wrote it casually explained named post’s comments. Glad to see it happening
From all the things that hurt my eyes in this video, the double 's' in the word misplaced in the title hurt the most
He's going with the theme
"it's okay, I forget things all the time.... WAIT I DIDN'T BUILD IT IN THE WRONG LOCATION!"
hey harstem i dont even play starcraft 2 but i somehow discovered your channel and really enjoy what youre making here. appreciate you brother,-from usa
"Ohh, I need to pull some stuff out, you know? ... No pullin' out here boys"
- Harstem
Love your improv on the last game when you wrongly built the Nexus in the right spot, haha!
47:47 I'd just like to imagine the op eventually scouting and seeing the nexus move from where they thought it was in the fog of war. Then try to figure out how they killed it without having vision
I love the childish laughing lol. This was so good!
YOLO challenge: Once an army/unit of yours leaves your base, it must kill the opponent or die trying. No retreating from engagements, no backward blinks, and no backwards prism micro.
2 base 3 base mass phoneix with 65 probes? Is that the new meta? It is now! I was dying laughing. :D Thanks for all your videos man!
Bunker countered. Misplaced nexus op
"We're not gonna pull out, boys!"
-Harstem 2020
Now the Zerg sends this to "Is it imba, or do I suck."
"My opponent was a complete idiot, he built his nexus off center, he took the wrong base at one point, but he just went carriers and won for free".
My Idea for BGWSS: Not without my mommy! You have to build a mothership and are not allowed any other stargate units. Also you are only allowed to attack when your mothership is with your army. The moment it dies, you have to retreat and wait until a new one is ready. You may defend your bases without one tough.
Keep up the great work!
Great video! In horizontal and vertical mirrored gas placements 3 probes are enough dough. 🙂
Great video man
Goed bezig! =) Inspired by your third/fourth nexus I propose a challenge: double every building! For each structure you must always order 2 simultaneously and (ideally) place them next to each other. XD
Yes!!! Excellent content
The art was so cool. Love what you're doing Harstem ive been cheating on Lowko, Winter, and even Beastyqt with your channel
This was just soo good.
Very entertaining video, thanks Harstem!
Challenge idea: use probes instead of zealots for runbys :)
"No pulling out here boys, we keep em in" Thanks for the advice Harstem I'm now a father of 4
this one is legendary already lmfao 2:30 LOLOL
This is the best shit posting starcraft 2 content one can find. I love you, Harstem. Thank you for this series
This is so perfect
Stupid Stuff Suggestions:
1. Every building requiring a pylon must have two before it can be placed. (Will completely mess up early game build orders)
2. Each pylon is allowed to power only one building.
"I built in the wrong location" - when building on the perfect spot is engraved in the unconscious
Love your videos.
What about an all unit challenge?
Once you start a push/attack, you have to have every protoss unit in that army at least once. (Including 1 probe)
If it turns out to be too hard, then you may ignore the mothership ;)
HF & GL
my god what a quality game parameter, i was screaming at my laptop when harstem didn't do it out of sheer reflex at first
23:20 nice shot!
BGWSS suggestions:
All the micro: Units with some form of active ability only. That means no colossus or archons, but zealots, stalkers and high templars are allowed. Optional hard mode: For units whose abilities need to be researched (like blink for stalkers), only use the unit after its ability is researched.
Disruptor only: Try to only build and use disruptors. Using warp prisms for transport is allowed. Building a minimum of other units is allowed to survive early game, but after that, only disruptors.
37:00 Rocks moved when you place CC on your naturals lol)
there are 2 types of BGMWSS. One where you just do a weird unexpected strategy like mothership rush, and then the other is really beating grandmasters with handicaps.
Haha just saw the title, this is amazing
Pythagoras theorem for building your base diagonally of-center:
1: 1.41
2: 2.82
3: 4.24
4: 5.65
Loving this series, good stuff!
Here's silly suggestion based on BW for the series.
No control groups larger than 12 units, no rallying base to resources, and only make units that were also in BW maybe?
Maybe thats the reason why the early Alphastar kept oversaturating the mineral lines in the demo games vs TLO and Mana. When it learned playing it first misplaced the Nexus and learned that 22 Probes mined more then 16. It eventually learned the correct placement of the bases, but it never unlearned the information that 22 Probes are better then 16.
this is true big brain stuff though.
when you put the nexus further away, then more probes can be mining before it's saturated.
more probes = more economy
GG EZ no re
LOL In the last game the nexus in the natural was so far off I thought it was part of the wall 🤣
this is a million times better than just doing "mass immortal sentry BGMWSS" or something
This stuff reminds me of good old Funday Mondays. I miss Day Jay's laugh.
Stupid stuff suggestion:
Industrial Miner
- The goal is to win by mining as close to all the resources on the map as possible. Minimal aggression to prevent gg-ing. A late game Mapwide contain.
This is so funny I love it
AHHAAHAH
That disrupter hit at 23:22 uhh ooops 😱
Ideas for future , some of them are stupid , but that's point , right?
1. Build nexus at 2nd base in a wall position and long distance mine from it
2. Never attack opponents not even harrasment
3. Hero colossus , you aren't allowed to attack if your colossus has less than : 50 kills vs Zerg , 25 vs Terran , 12 vs protoss. You can have 1 colossus and build only zealots for anti ground and pheonix for anti air.
4. Zerg specific , pretend creep is Lava and that you can only go on creep with air units.
5. You are allowed to kill workers and buildings on attack only. I mean A moving is not allowed but units will do that eventually so don't be hard on yourself.
6. Before attacking you need to have at least 1 of all units type in amry , excluding mothership , can add that one if you want.
7. You must execute all units which have took HP damage , no weaklings allowed.
8. Pokeball challange , You can't attack to kill your opponent before your 3rd base. Only harrasment option is disruptor.
Stupid stuff ideas:
1.) All buildings you construct must be in pairs or more, and built next to each other (including Nexus when you expand). Buildings must be constructed back to back, so it must be "pylon->pylon->gateway->gateway" rather than "pylon->gateway->pylon->gateway"
2.) You can only mine from one gas geyser the whole game
ily harstem my man
BGMWSS: Trick opponent into thinking you're going 4 gate, but actually it's proxy robo.
You're only allowed to use 2 warp ins from your 4 gate
Challenge: use a nexus as part of your wall off at the natural. Use it for chronoboost energy or shield overcharge, and make extra probes as necessary....use it as see fit, but must go down before 3rd base. Bonus points if you put it down before 2nd base.
"No pulling out boys. We keep em in"
Stupid stuff suggestion:
Every time you attack your opponent all your units must be inside warp prisms that you unload onto the opponents army. Keep tech units inside of prisms as much as possible for big tech suprises.
Lol great challenge. Try one where you put a pylon and 2 canons infront of mineral line next time. Lmao my older brother always did this and it became my pet peeve.
10:25 I mean, you were cool before, but now you're the best!
Harstem giggling makes this video
Tested mineral mining per probe approximately on 'Golden wall': Results
0 hex off (normal mining): 56.8 minerals a minute per drone (100%)
1 hex off: 54.3 minerals a minute per drone (95.6%)
2 hex off: 47.8 minerals a minute per drone (84.2%)
3 hex off: 45.1 minerals a minute per drone (79.5%)
4 hex off: 41.4 minerals a minute per drone (72.9%)
One of this days I was playing ladder in Platinum and I managed to do dmg early to my opponent, I was sure I was in a good spot and then.. I tried an all-in that partly worked.. And I was so confused the rest of the game.. Why I keep having not enough money and I lost. Watching the replay was the stupidest moment of my s2 life. I miss placed my natural nexus and I didn't even notice till the replay. Harsteam is so good.. He can to this to GM
quote of the day
"no pulling out ever" - harstem
12:19 “I wonder what he thinks when he sees this with his SCV, guys. Like, ‘Jeez, this guy is an idiot.’ ... I forgot my second pylon! I _am_ an idiot!”
46:30 I think you just want to add 8. 16 = normal (2 per mineral) 24 = Harstem mode (3 per mineral)
This is by far the most stupid/funny BGMWSS =)
This is hillaarious XD
New idea: all tech structures and unit production must be built outside of your main/natural (not as a wall either) basically only batteries/cannons/nexus/pylons in the main and natural
I love Harstem
Suggestion: Send half of your probes at the beginning of the game to attack the opponent. Micro your heart out!!
