"He's going to scout this and he's going to go into robo. He's going to go into robo because he think's it's DT drop but it's not going to be DT drop it's going to be way dumber"
Hello Harstem. Storm drop is one of my favorite, but since I don't have your skills, I just suck with it. One game-changing idea is to take 1 sentries with the templars in the prism, so that you can force field both exits of the mineral line, and then storm the drones (that can no more escape). That way, you can kill the whole mineral line in one drop. Since I don't have the APM to do that correctly, can you please try it and see if that can work? Thx, and.... bravo! :D
@@MeesterG the way harstem gets a lot of the harder bgmwss to work is to make an attack that would win him the game, but instead go back before the opponent taps out, which gives him space to do whatever silly strategy of the day. any strategy can work if you're 4 base and your opponent is rebuilding workers on their natural
The micro in the first game for that hold was actually unbelievable. Saving the 2 archons with yellow health. Morphing an archon to prevent bile killing templar and then grabbing the 2 immortals. Crazy
@@karamabdulla4209 True ever since harstem started playing Terran you can see how he can't micro as good since it's harder for him compared to ez race protoss
That might require too much gas to hit early enough. Maybe, instead of storming, you warp in chargelots to the mineral line after force fielding the workers in.
Dragon has this funny HT only troll game on yt. The opponent brings marines. HT only looks so stupid he obviously made a push and kited away from the storm and went in again but there was more storm. It got really hilarious when the remaining marines had almost no health left and the HT started chasing them down with their epic normal attack and their incredible speed.
A BGWSS suggestion for your new year Harstem: Abuse the fact that shield batteries refill even when unpowered. Do any warp prism harass you like (immortal drop/colossus drop/distruptor, whatever) with a catch: sneak or ferry a probe with it and us it create hidden "recharge stations" out of shield batteries with no pylon (to make them cheaper and harder to spot, naturally), and then recharge your drop's shields as needed by briefly powering them with the warp prism.
BGMWSS idea nr. 2. - Sentry Century: You need to do as much shenanigans with Sentries as possible. Use non Phoenix hallucinations to scout. Forcefield the enemy into his base. Forcefield drop your enemies minerals. Forcefield the base location where your enemy wants to expand. Use guardian shield in every fight possible (even if it's only like 3v3 units xD) etc.
BGMWSS idea: Achievement hunter. I don't know if you have all the 1v1 achievements or not but try grinding some achievements vs opponents. Like with Terran destroying a bunch of workers with Raven auto-turrets etc.
This is the funniest way to play SC2, I do the same, it certainly made my play better constantly tying these crazy strategies with all races. Keep it up!
Challenge Idea: BroodWar Game Engine. You can use whatever units/strategy you like, but you must play as if SC2 has been ported into the SC1 engine. This means: No multiple building selection (also applies to control groups) No more than 12 units selected at once, or in a control group (might be difficult when boxing an army in a big fight, but try your best not to go over 12) No auto-mine. Probes must be rallied next to the Nexus and then manually sent to mine. btw, I've been suggesting this nearly every week for months. Let me know if you think this is a terrible idea and I'll stop repeating it and wasting our time.
BGMWSS idea: Drawing on the minimap. Place buildings and/or units in a formation that when scouted reveals a message or a picture for your opponent to appreciate.
I have also been going one gate into robo and starting immortal production immediately. Having that Immortal out early has helped a lot. I can get 3 stalker and 2 immortal really quick. I defend the first push and it is game.
Hey Harstem, stupid concept I just thought of and if anyone would make it work it would be you. PvP against masters Observer with pheniox to clear up any detection, then mass DT to kill army
Idea: "Fake cannon rush" You run out with an early probe but you build a gateway at home. With your probe, you try to build at least one pylon (and cancel it/them) to cause enough missing mining time to gain a little advantage. And maybe you go for a timing push after that idk
When you recognized the queen walk, just as he's about to start his attack, why not drop the temps and feedback all the queens? You get guaranteed damage and completely eliminate his ability to transfuse. Seems more damaging than the storm itself.
Amazing videos still - just discovered you 3 months ago. Thanks for the entertainment. I just submitted some content for you in the form of a super entertaining cannon rush game. Feel free to use in rank roulette or maybe pretend to be my opponent and make it a IODIS!
Next BGWSS: Every unit you want to use first have to make a 360 degrees once. Example you want attack with a stalker and you haven't controlled the stalker before, the stalker has to make a 360. After that whenever you control the same stalker, no 360 is required. Same for your probes.
Harstem, have you considered a video series called, "Getting Grandmaster with Stupid Stuff", where you take the stupidest of the stupid stuff and try to raise a new account all the way to GM with that one stupid build order.
The terran game was a win, one base full of probes (could take just one make a proxy nexus and gg) 700 minerals in bank, while terran had 0 workers on either bases. it would have been a lil painfulk and slow sure but.. that wasn't a loss, i hate how starcraft 2 has this mentality of surrender ASAP ( way way too soon ) . part of why i wouldn't even enjoy really playing it.
5:05 - Protoss is such garbage that you can fast tech great cast, still have 3 bases at 5mn and even defend the counter to your failed timing attack with 3 units... Do you know what happens to terran doing fastest banshee cloak opener, and fail to kill opponent? At 5mn, it has its natural not mining because the scvs repair the stupid wall preventing opponent's army to roll over its lonely tank and 4 marines. Shield battery is a fucking rape, battery overcharge is a rape (just a free 14sec to get immortal or void out and ceal the deal), Immortal barrier with free 100damage points absorption is a joke, protoss air is a fucking rape (only answer is: don't let the toss go there), DTs is a joke, obs and Oracle revelation are free maphack, HT storm is fantastic, no energy? No pb, let's morph archons. Terrans have ghosts. Vikings die to anything, BCs is fucking expensive for anything else than an early-game harass ability (tactical jump) that protoss has for free in the nexus. Banshees are useless after 5mn, ravens are one-shot support cause they die straight after spell-casting. Ooooh libs can be good with range. But they are also made of paper, and without shield to be recharged by batteries. I played litterally less than 10 games as toss, and I reached same level as terran.... Doing stupid stuff, no build order.... Look the protoss proportions in higher leagues. Top10 GM us server: 7 P Top10 GM eu server: 5 P But hey, all I said before is trash. Game is balanced when you have 600APM.
Can we stop calling these builds "fastEST"? Yes I understand why you delay things based on what makes sense for the build order, but it's possible to have 2 templar with a prism about 1 minute earlier. "I don't think it's actually possible [to get storm faster]." It actually is.

Harstem have you done the most classic of all BGMWSS: neural parasiting a probe and then beating them with your superior PVP
That happened to me once in the ladder :0
That's not just BGMWSS that's holy grail of SC2.
That would only work against a diamond or lower I think

imagine thinking microing Protoss is hard
@@karamabdulla4209 True ever since harstem started playing Terran you can see how he can't micro as good since it's harder for him compared to ez race protoss
Lol @ this salt. Can't even give the dude a compliment
@@karamabdulla4209 imagine thinking you could do the same
Excellent magic trick, I would even go so far as calling it glood
Idea: Add a Sentry and use Force Field to prevent the enemy from evacuating his Probes/SCVs. Than you Storm the s**t out of them.
That might require too much gas to hit early enough. Maybe, instead of storming, you warp in chargelots to the mineral line after force fielding the workers in.
@@Slynk YOU'RE LOCKED IN HERE WITH ME!!!
@@Slynk or take a zealot that can finish off the weakened scvs after the storms
That's exactly what I do!! And the feeling of adding dirt over dirt is just.... out of here :DDD
@@Slynk What if you drop with 2 templar instead of 3 since Harstem never had energy on the third anyway? Like the zealot though
If I get 5 min storm dropped in ANY of my matches this month, I know who to hold it against

I think its quite good, a real challenge
13:55 "His pants should be full right now"
Yo, @6:26 Harstem killed all his workers and larva. That play forced him to all in. Interesting
You always try your best, Kevin. We're proud of you, buddy.
13:59, you got me good
Well done Harstem. Thanks for all the terrible ideas to use in low diamond.
That troll face at 8:27
Best BGWSS Concept in quite a while, here
I KNEW IT WOULDN'T BE CRAP, only semi bad
Very gas intensive, dropping those templar stinkbombs all over those smelly smellers! :D
Where is your hoodie? Where is iiiiiiiiiiiit? MINDBLOWING
this series is the best captain
I was just watching Mana play against you haha; he's still live.
one thing I believe... is that people love to watch the fire burn...
Saw it on Mana's stream, and it was really confusing...
adding in warp prism speed wouldnt be a bad idea, but a fair bit more gas needed obviously
Harstem's burdens weigh heavily. Sick plays tho
BGMWSS idea: Drawing on the minimap. Place buildings and/or units in a formation that when scouted reveals a message or a picture for your opponent to appreciate.
BGMwSS: 1 supply depot! 2 months and counting
I used to drop reavers back in the day.
Can you just drop those exploding balls which mimics the Reavere gameplay?
9:06 wow!😮
So funny when all european players/casters say "Ayayai"
You could say that harstem is the best... stormtrooper
"1 base" proceeds to build early second every game.
6:26 you know soooooo many workers died that was so satisfying haha
llllll's g key was out for repairs that day.
To be honest I wanna see more of these
I remember parting doing a build like this I think
The commitment.
Hey Harstem, can you try a ling flood with burrow first? Hoepfully be able to waste scans or overwhelm any enemies early on.
I thought about templar storm drop yesterday LMAO
I have also been going one gate into robo and starting immortal production immediately. Having that Immortal out early has helped a lot. I can get 3 stalker and 2 immortal really quick. I defend the first push and it is game.

Im curious on whether forcefield, storm drop would be fun

Nice!!
with this magical trick i am going to lose 60 mmr watch me do it kids
Idea: have to build double tech structures before you can use them
Fungle man

Try nexus first. No pylon no drone first...lol
I was able to get 4:26 storm drops.
Harstem, have you considered a video series called, "Getting Grandmaster with Stupid Stuff", where you take the stupidest of the stupid stuff and try to raise a new account all the way to GM with that one stupid build order.
how do you know you got 8 worker kills?
Every unit has a kill count when you select it
The terran game was a win, one base full of probes (could take just one make a proxy nexus and gg) 700 minerals in bank, while terran had 0 workers on either bases. it would have been a lil painfulk and slow sure but.. that wasn't a loss, i hate how starcraft 2 has this mentality of surrender ASAP ( way way too soon ) . part of why i wouldn't even enjoy really playing it.
but he had no production left and terran had a superior army. Could he hold the base?
Could be faster. Proxy the robo
Could also be dumber, proxy the robo
