Dear harstem, I have, in my mind, greatly improved your version of the 2 rax maurauder proxy. By cutting 3 workers total, and getting one killed, I managed to get concussive shell finished at 2:29 and have the 5th maurauder pop at 2:50. which is significantly faster than you reach these cruicial powerspikes in your video's (7-10 seconds and 5 seconds earlier respectively from what I can tell). allow me to explain we start with a 13 depot (this way the depot is quicker making concussive shell quicker as well) you take the gas at 0:30 then you make 2 barraks still at 13 supply after building the 2nd rax, we can pull on gas and start a 2nd scv when the first rax finishes you build a techlab and an orbital instantly obviously we build the 2nd techlab for the 2nd barraks as soon as it finishes, but you also murder one of your proxy scv's with the other one as a ritual sacrifice (this is important) now we build maurauders and throw down mules as soon as we can we only start the 2nd supply depot after queing the 3rd maurauder this will make it finished in time for the 6th maurauder to start without a supplyblock, while minimally delaying maurauder production now as you can see though, the 5th maurauder brings us to 23/23 supply, which is exactly why it was cruicial that we lost one scv, because if it were to be alive it would delay the 5th maurauder. I have a replay I do this in as an example, however I can unfortionatly not attach it to a youtube comment so I hope my explanation suffices
Harstem you actually played the 2rax in main wrong. if you leave a 1 tile gap your marauders can retreat to it making worker pulls worthless, as he always has to pull back
i love your stuff harstem, you make the ladder look so easy haha :) im glad to see that the campaign video you released yesterday got so many views, im excited to see more captain!
Captain, how do you come up with these amazing builds but then manage to execute them like you have final stage brain rot? Building the barrack next to the mineral mine for "extra speed" where you gain 0.1s but risk being spotted? Placing the barracks on the easiest to spot place if the SCV decides to go for the mineral line. Keeping the lowest health marauders in front.
well, youtube keeps deleting my comments that have links in them, but i used a very similar strat in 2010 and got rank #1 diamond with it in May of that year. No masters or GM ranks at this time of course so #1 diamond was the highest you could get. The timing at 12 marines was the sweet spot, and the mules made it so you could keep mining and pumping out marines with the all-in rush
Can you try a novel idea? In a match where your opponent had a more interesting game than you try casting the replay from his point of view. I have noticed in some of your weird videos that your opponent was actually really interesting and creative and your side of the story was predictable plus you got owned. Do the opposite of what uthermal uploaded today. He picked the one win he managed (to his credit he says so openly) from a series of attempts at maxing out BC. Can you instead pick a loss and cast it from the winners side?

Dear harstem,
I have, in my mind, greatly improved your version of the 2 rax maurauder proxy.
By cutting 3 workers total, and getting one killed, I managed to get concussive shell finished at 2:29 and have the 5th maurauder pop at 2:50. which is significantly faster than you reach these cruicial powerspikes in your video's (7-10 seconds and 5 seconds earlier respectively from what I can tell).
allow me to explain
we start with a 13 depot (this way the depot is quicker making concussive shell quicker as well)
you take the gas at 0:30
then you make 2 barraks still at 13 supply
after building the 2nd rax, we can pull on gas and start a 2nd scv
when the first rax finishes you build a techlab and an orbital instantly
obviously we build the 2nd techlab for the 2nd barraks as soon as it finishes, but you also murder one of your proxy scv's with the other one as a ritual sacrifice (this is important)
now we build maurauders and throw down mules as soon as we can
we only start the 2nd supply depot after queing the 3rd maurauder
this will make it finished in time for the 6th maurauder to start without a supplyblock, while minimally delaying maurauder production
now as you can see though, the 5th maurauder brings us to 23/23 supply, which is exactly why it was cruicial that we lost one scv, because if it were to be alive it would delay the 5th maurauder.
I have a replay I do this in as an example, however I can unfortionatly not attach it to a youtube comment so I hope my explanation suffices
Everyone upvote so we can get hamster to make harstem try this and see if it works!
Harstem you actually played the 2rax in main wrong. if you leave a 1 tile gap your marauders can retreat to it making worker pulls worthless, as he always has to pull back
I come for the cheeses, I stay for the beautiful singing.
I like when Harstem laughs at his own stupidity instead of getting frustrated.
Haha, the Beatles cover was lovely
10:14 thats so ratty i love it
I love his laugh every time they scout
You seemed to have a whole lot of fun playing those games. Love to see it.
I can't wait for the "beating Grandmaster with stupid stuff" to get higher than the "road to rank one" account
Bless your heart for cheesing the ladder from the top, Captain. Ggs wp
i love your stuff harstem, you make the ladder look so easy haha :) im glad to see that the campaign video you released yesterday got so many views, im excited to see more captain!
That's cool sorts of cheeses!
Win or Lose the Laughter was Epic and the gameplay Awesome!
These games are so dam entertaining, so silly
So sad for the toss, also because how you showed him reacting, but he still gged
Last guy was definitely in a good mood after that game
Captain, how do you come up with these amazing builds but then manage to execute them like you have final stage brain rot?

Keeping the lowest health marauders in front.
Harstem sent me here.
same!
How do you defend against this all in as Protoss in the first game
Scouting, battery,
Stalker, if he jumped on barracks while it was building with stalker he would have been fine.
Glorious cheese 😂
that first 5k oponent not scouting harstem, big dick move right there, high testosterone.
This is genius idea! Why waste time sending units to the enemy base when you can directly make them there xD.
If mules can repair building then why can't they build building?
Because they don't know how to make the foundations of buildings.
@@Wirmish by my logic a mule should be able to build a BC from scratch
luckiest fucking man in the world on that third game. literally 1 tile away.
Flying barracks is 100500 move 💪
I used to do it in 2010 😂

Love it
Day 2 asking Harstem to do another SC EVO video
You can 4 rax zerg, but not like that. uThermal has a guide where he beats Serral with it, and if it'll beat Serral, it'll beat anyone
He knows, that wasn't the point.
What “h” in a 1st game means?
help
