Finally a game of my league! It actually is very peaceful, you build some buildings, warp in some troops, f2, a click, and watch a nice battle hoping for the best.
Fill in the blank IODIS form: [Unit] is IMBA. I did [thing that SC2 casters get excited about] and [use of unit's ability] then pulled back for 6-10 minutes so I could build [favorite unit]. All he did was build [IMBA unit] and it completely destroyed me! I know I [acknowledgment of fundamental weakness], but at least I [end-game score screen statistic] better than my opponent. Bonus points if the IMBA unit is a worker/production building (because more stuff counters less stuff), but you put anything else in the form instead.
A friend of mine once won a game in early WoL by building 3 DTs and hold-positioning them at the top of his ramp, then watching and laughing while the enemy slowly fed his entire army through the invisible meat-grinder.
I like how Harstem imagines Heavensblade as a 7 year old playing his first game of SC2, but he also has a second monitor to have the game menu pulled up. 😂
"He saw an immortal - back home for him it is!" We should always consider the effect of units having a psychological impact on peoples mind when we evaluate if something is imba or not Kevin!
Maybe he thought immortals were literally immortal. That would be cause for fear! Is it really worth it to take out a base if the invincible immortal will be firing for free into your army the whole time?
10:11 made me laugh way more, then it should have. Brilliant! "He doesn't even know how to build carriers. Right now, he is reading the game manual. Sometimes pressing the F12-Button..."
I guess the protoss player thinks marines + medivacs are imba. But he is to smart to file a complaint. He just builds bases everywhere until he manages to get a carrier fleet at one of them. It may be not the most elegant solution but as we see, it works so good that his opponents think he is imba. Honestly I don't think I'm really better than that, I can either micro or macro. If I try to do both, I just stop working entirely. I like the way the protoss realizes his weakness and works around it. The terrain player on the other hand is like 'I watch a lot of pro gamers on TH-cam, so I'm better than that and if I still loose, it has to be imba'. They both suck at star craft, but the protoss player may still be an intelligent person.
@@balazsfenyes3880 well, doing drops and getting an advantage is not a bronze move. But doing drops and doing 10x damage of a drop to yourself is pretty much a definition of bronze. Instead of doing those "fancy drops" he could've just spent those 6-12k minerals and a-moved 200 supply to win. In time it takes him to drop 1 base he could've won bo3 with a-moves.
@@matszz yeah, they didn't realize what a tech tree was... If you played for ten years without knowing that some tech unlocks other tech and units....... You haven't played. Idk what to say. You've only made probes and pylons for ten years.
You missed the best play, he had 2 mines at the end, which almost killed the whole shield of the mothership. That was the most damage he did to the army.
I felt so sad for those poor marines beeing forced to load into an almost "crashing down by itself" medivac in deep red health while carriers approaching. they must have known what was about to happen :(
A fun stat is to look at EPM, or Effective actions pre minute. Often it shows that people who spam like this don't actually make useful clicks. Instead, they just spam in a location multiple times when a single click would've worked, inflating their "APM", but not doing anything of value.
@@BucksterMcgee as someone with relatively low apm even back when I was masters, it was always so funny when people would insult me over my apm after I won. Like... What do you think the point of those actions is lol
19:32 DTs? That's going to be the next IMBA claim. "I was winning the game, when all the sudden he attacked my base with invisible units that were impossible to target and just killed everything. Totally IMBA"
I get Allan's mindset, I used to be in that space as well. There's that limiting belief of what a good base looks like and after that you don't need to build anything more. It takes a while to push through that and develop an instinct to keep spending, keep building and keep producing no matter what happens to your army.
How can one person be an extremely talented progamer, hands down one of the best casters in the world and a comedian, who makes me laugh every 12 seconds. Your content is giving me so much quality of live, honestly keep up the GREAT work!
as someone who played only campaign i totally understand both of the players even the lowerst 1v1 sc implies you need - to understand difference between light/heavy armor, anti-air/ground units - to have a situational awareness and understanding how to counter enemy's army - to plan your game depending on your micro/marco skills so when you transitioning from campaign to multiplayer you have a lot of new things to learn, and it can be hard
To be honest, if you played campaign and finished it at like hard or brutal. You are more than capable of playing multiplayer, probably equivalent of plat or diamond.
LOVE the "Trade info" statistic. Despite it not showing who is in a better position after the attack, it helps see why some attacks are more devastating than others
I don't even play SC2 and I was asking wtf Harzer was doing with so many minerals. It's like a basic tenet of RTS to spend your resources as fast as possible.
This bronze player has definitely watched PiG's bronze to GM - exact build order and ideas. However, PiG's series (at that point) only end up at a two-base and there is no transition in the series (yet, now there is one), so this guy is just doing what he saw. The fact that he even has a build order gives it away (compared to the other guy).
You had fun at least ;) Although playing against 'Toss capital ships, a lot of people have told me as Terran to build Thors, especially High Impact Payload. They do need some micro (to target down ships unless you have really good micro and mouse control where you kill all the interceptors then you use the Explosive Payload mode).
Yo, Heavensblade is my kinda player. You just know he's playing while watching a stream, taking care of his macro and building big bois. Totally chill.
I was trying to imagine how Terran would lose, but I certainly did not expect him to lose to 3 carriers and a mothership. Thats actually badass for the Protoss not gonna lie
Both players simply wanted the engagement to be lore accurate. 3 carriers in the lore would easily wreck a bunch of shooty bois even without the mothership needing to be there.
I remember a match I was playing zerg during HotS addon. After attacking a protoss base I cracked his defences and destroyed 2 of his 3 bases, I could finish the game right there but I decided to buy overlords and move them to his base and poor creep oh his base. Hell of a shitfest it was. Somehow he managed to build a 150ish supply flying army and killed me :D never played again ever since.
My theory is that the last time Allan played Starcraft 2 was in Wings of Liberty, and he was a Protoss player. Back then the marauder was a super overpowered unit that could defend against a 4 gate which was the only build order that Protoss had. Now when Allan plays this game years later he remembered being traumatized by marauders as a Protoss, so he knew that as the Terran player he was required to build them. I can't blame him, I think anyone would have done the same.
I think that Allan/Harzer didn't notice that his average unspent resources were like 7-10 times higher than Heavensblade's and workers built like 2-3 times lower.
@@asharak84 lol i didnt watch if he did this, since his vikings were shooting wildly at interc its most likely possible, but in THEORY he had the right mode lol
This was really entertaining. I hard laughed at this. Thanks for the replays and commentary Bro. The classic 3-pylon opener. As a protoss I died at that.
3:10 "Aaaaah, this is kind of a classic, honestly. I've never seen it before, but..." - This is kind of a classic Harstem, honestly. I have never heard it before, but...
It's better to have no habits than having bad habits. The terran would be a better player if he also just zerged around the map, using his income to make more income and just build marines that he a clicks across the map once he is at 200/200. Looking at a terran army is helpful, but our friend did worse than just not controlling them. Stim was late despite looking at the army and right clicking a single unit is worse than move commanding and then pressing stop. The way he does it, he should never look at his army ever, as he does none of the good things and several of the bad things.
"He has a timed switch for macro or drops" Now this....this sounds like a good harstem challenge.You can either only build units and micro probes, or you can only micro units - swapping every 30 seconds.
Back in 2013 when I started to play SC2, I was in gold. My opponent was massing void rays. I remember I was opening unit tab quite often, just to see which unit should I make. I previously played WC3, where units have a hard counter. He initially came with 2 or 3, I barely defended. I opened the unit tab, phoenix counter void ray, it's produced from a stargate. Next time he came he had like 6-7 voids, I already had 4-5 phoenixes. To my suprise, I lost that fight...
Learning the hard way that some of the recommended counters require micro to act as a counter. I legit learned Carrier rush strategies simply because I could not pay attention to both micro and macro, and counters were hard for me to pull off because of that.
@@GeneGear You can't really micro phoenixes against void rays, unless you have a range upgrade - which I didn't have for sure. I could both micro and micro - that was the only reason why I started from the gold league. I knew very little about the game, just liked the commentary on some esport event. There are some hard counters, like stalker vs immortal. Probably that's why I thought it'll be the same in the case above. You can't really read during playing the game, that unit does bonus damage against light/heavy/biological etc - no time for that. There is no good counter to void ray - that's why this unit was pretty weak for a long time, to prevent massing them in PVP. Pretty problematic unit. People got better, they know how to play around it, so it was possible to make a void ray stronger. Phoenixes surely can beat void rays - void ray is over 50% more expensive. But when the numbers are equal, or you have less phoenixes and the numbers are small - no upgrades, then void rays can win.
Another thing about the "several drops" they were just mineral farms basically, maybe a little bit of defense but they were just nothing bases that he rebuilt with ease. Yes it is where the game spawned him as his main base but he quickly made his first proxy his main base which was never touched. Not to mention, as you said, EMP that is how you combat carriers, as soon as you see carriers being used, make something that can emp them.
i had this "A strain of any of the layers of the intercostal muscles can cause pain and difficulty breathing" for a couple of days now,cant really laugh without pain(severe pain) you almost killed me . well played sir. well played.
The best part of that Baseball / Football joke is "This is how Soccer works now!" Edit: Like seriously, Harstem came up with that in a millisecond and it's such a deep multi levelled joke, he really truly has talent for this and he's really good at it.
@@Leonhart_93 I wasn't thinking of storm, was definitely thinking of disruptors. Base trade would be an easy win. Of course, he would need to hold back to succeed in this challenge. He could very easily destroy me before I even get DTs. It would be like in an MMORPG, when you have a quest that requires you to get an enemy to low health and then use an item on them. And then you kill them and go, "what's the next step?"
The irony lies in he complains about his oponent "just a-moving" and winning. But there were several point in the match in which if he a-move he would´ve won
That comparison of this game with football and baseball players is the most correct description of bronze and low silver league games. So accurate that i almost died
I've literally never played this game and I'm pretty sure, from Harzer's position at like 7k minerals, that I could not lose this game. I've been yelling at the screen for like 3 minutes. Opponent has literally nothing, how is it even possible to lose?
This video made me want to play the game even tho i know i suck at it just on the off chance i could have my ineptitude be revealed and drolly lampooned by this man... so good >.
I enjoyed this - almost more - than the elite fights... Because I will never.. ever... in a million years... have anything to do with the elites. Getting some hints on what foolish players could have done better - is MUCH more useful... ...also - the sick burns were funny. :)
Watching for 6 minutes and i think i have the answer, Carriers are imba when noob A attacking noob B because my bet noob B does not use shift + attack on the carriers, so in this scenario noob A have a big advantage because the default nature of the unit.
And you were wrong, he lost because he didn't scan at all when he could have just a-moved with marines. Killing interceptors is usually better with marines anyway.
HeavensBlade was 4k+ ressources down in trades, and as soon as Harzer went for the outer bases, he is down 4k+ ressources (in trades again), a single base (unless we count the base with 2 SCVs mining gas) and almost no units. That is, my friends, the proof that mothership is imba, getting an ~8.5k positive trade, so op !!!1!1!11! And in one drop the terran is only 25 resssources down in trades ??? Also, HeavensBlade's so much more interesting to watch lol
@@SaiKisaragi Sometimes getting up from the desk to do some exercise, maybe take a refreshing walk, get a solid 8 hours of sleep. Then when you're in top condition you get back to the game and blast your opponent.
I remember years ago my friend asked me what my APM was in this game, I bet something like 40-60 since I had no idea how to play. What I loved is in the test they averaged about 80 by the sheer power of clicking fast through useless move commands.
Finally a game of my league! It actually is very peaceful, you build some buildings, warp in some troops, f2, a click, and watch a nice battle hoping for the best.

Normally the terran TPM goes crazy after seeing airtoss but this Terran doesn't know about TPM (turrets per minute)
well, pro terrans don't build a lot of turrets, why should he?
This was truly a game of "I do whatever I want" vs "I do whatever I've seen pros do"
@@dominikmagnus I mean low ELO players usually do a lot of panic turrets as Terrans
2:45 At least he isnt supply blocked!
Hamster! I need the ‘pings’ when you add your insight to the game. That sound is my cue to pay attention!
The irony lies in he complains about his oponent "just a-moving" and winning. But there were several point in the match in which if he a-move he would´ve won
Harstem milking the timer by explaining all the game mechanics xD
The putting the screenshot in paint thing made me laugh so much.
Pure gold! Especially 35:10
But they're bronze
Yo I always get so happy everytime I watch your really creative videos. Much love from the Philippines!
0:00 Where has this guy been?
I'm puzzled why he didn't plaster his base with turrets, it's the bronze league thing to do, no? Also, the Planetary broke me
6:38 I thought that's how Scottish people play (European) Football...
That comparison of this game with football and baseball players is the most correct description of bronze and low silver league games. So accurate that i almost died
This gives me a "Bronze league Heroes" vibes, hope we get more of those.
I've literally never played this game and I'm pretty sure, from Harzer's position at like 7k minerals, that I could not lose this game. I've been yelling at the screen for like 3 minutes. Opponent has literally nothing, how is it even possible to lose?
This video made me want to play the game even tho i know i suck at it just on the off chance i could have my ineptitude be revealed and drolly lampooned by this man... so good >.
the chad Heavensblade
-never seen a guide in his life
-doesn't know what a build order is
-just makes the funny pyramid 3 times before scouting
35:10 Vikings going like this. I lost it.
Those info cards are next level, really nice format with the opening letter as well.
I enjoyed this - almost more - than the elite fights...
Because I will never.. ever... in a million years... have anything to do with the elites.
Getting some hints on what foolish players could have done better - is MUCH more useful...
...also - the sick burns were funny. :)
I love this episode :D. Havensblade is my hero!
This reminds me of my first few games :single tear:
I love his analogies and metaphors so much
Watching for 6 minutes and i think i have the answer, Carriers are imba when noob A attacking noob B because my bet noob B does not use shift + attack on the carriers, so in this scenario noob A have a big advantage because the default nature of the unit.
And you were wrong, he lost because he didn't scan at all when he could have just a-moved with marines. Killing interceptors is usually better with marines anyway.
lmao he was so mad I love it "hur dur I can press lots of buttons I did amazing outplays and killed empty bases he just has op units"
LOL Fantastc job my friend!!! this is why your views are going up up up!! :]
HeavensBlade was 4k+ ressources down in trades, and as soon as Harzer went for the outer bases, he is down 4k+ ressources (in trades again), a single base (unless we count the base with 2 SCVs mining gas) and almost no units.
That is, my friends, the proof that mothership is imba, getting an ~8.5k positive trade, so op !!!1!1!11!
And in one drop the terran is only 25 resssources down in trades ???
Also, HeavensBlade's so much more interesting to watch lol
The nexus alone he got is 400 minerals.
Heavensblade is basically that meme guy eating chips, the whole game
I'd believe that HeavensBlade is a bot. Either that, or he was afk most of the game watching HarstemCasts on the side and taking notes.
Honestly, I play like HeavensBlade a lot. I check my discord while playing, changing my music, helping my mom get a drink.
@@SaiKisaragi Sometimes getting up from the desk to do some exercise, maybe take a refreshing walk, get a solid 8 hours of sleep. Then when you're in top condition you get back to the game and blast your opponent.
@@1august12 Ironically, I might get a person that does the same thing, which is why they don’t react to me destroying their bases or losing the game.
HB read him like a book, he skipped warpgate for the entire game because he knew the answer here was Carriers
His vision became reality !
We all wish we played the game like Heaven's Blade. He's having a great time building carrier's, momma, and shield upgrades for them.
39 minutes of roasting, hmmmm
I remember years ago my friend asked me what my APM was in this game, I bet something like 40-60 since I had no idea how to play.
What I loved is in the test they averaged about 80 by the sheer power of clicking fast through useless move commands.
