Tournament played on 20-7/2020 Against the best of Europe. High level stuff Patreon: / harstem My second youtube channel: / @harstemcasts Twitter: / harstemsc2 Twitch: / harstem Instagram : / harstemsc
Harstem you saved me. I owe you a big one. I used to rage all the time at everyone and everything. Then i started watching your games on youtube. your series. And youve given me the golden ticket. Every time you said clown, i got inspired. Motivated. I wanted to be just like you! And now my rage has transformed into a circus, where everyone is a clown. Whenever someone cheeses me, i just call them a clown. Whenever someone trolls me. You guessed it. Clown! Ever since youve opened up my eyes im seeing clowns everywhere! Thank you for this transformative experience!
Hello harstem. I was wondering if you could make a short video explaining how to choose upgrades. I notice instead of getting attack2 in the first game you get armor upgrade 1 for ground. How do you know when to get armor or weapon upgrades?
Fantastic, would love to see more videos like this if you participate in a tournament again. I enjoy seeing you try hard and it's icing on the cake whenever you're able to talk while doing it.
Turns out Showtime is really good. No shame in losing to him but dang Harstem was looking good this tournament. In reality though, hes way smarter than the other pros for being on TH-cam and Twitch. Hes putting out amazing content and earning his money in other ways. If you cant win the tournament, teach the rest of us plebs how to get better. Thanks for the content captain and keep it up!
it is smart but he really needs to spread the word more somehow, his channel content is amazing but he has so few subs it makes no sense, i would never have found him if lowko hadnt plugged him over an is it imba or do i suck? episode
46:38 "don't suggest me any bad idea. I have plenty of bad ideas on my own... actually... on this map I could play... oh no the seed has been planted 😬" This is why I love Hartsem
I love that you're so scared he is making dts while you're making dts it reminds me of when someone is dating someone and cheating on them and then they're paranoid that their spouse is cheating.
@@sz-gn9id calling harstem grandmaster is almost misleading, because he's so much vastly better than most grandmasters. It's like saying Maru is a grandmaster. Like.. yeah, true, but your average grandmaster doesn't even hold a candle to Maru. Same with Harstem. Harstem is closer in skill to Maru than he is to 75% of GM players
Round of 64 VS Sweetzy BO3 Game 1 - 00:04 Game 2 - 09:47 Round of 32 VS HOLYHIT BO3 Game 1 - 21:07 Game 2 - 29:32 Round of 16 VS Aqueron BO3 Game 1 - 46:32 Game 2 - 1:01:45 Game 3 - 1:13:48 Quarter Final/Round of 8 VS ShoWTimE Game 1 - 1:23:33 Game 2 - 1:42:39 Well played Kevin :)
Great content, I’m learning a lot with your vids .Could we see you play with other races?? It would be awesome watching other players react to how you play with Terran or Zerg.
I really like your videos. Probably one of the better channels ive just found recently. The game is significantly louder than your voice, and your keyboard is louder that your voice too. I think if you could get a 40% boost on your mic output it'd be great
Harstem I have a build idea for later. start off harassing get to late game put down 4 robos, and make 8 sentries and make sure oppenent can scount the 4 robos put them all together. Then halluciante in as many collossus or whatever unit is gonna make him quit XD mind game win.
Kevin: Last games suck, oc. But if you look at your last games today what you have learnt from that time till now, what would you have done differently? I'm a n00b, so to me fighting Cancer with Cancer-strategy seems not logical. You're awesome anyways!!!

got a quick suggestion, make the video 3 hours long to avoid spoilers (and ofc, explain that at the beginning of the video). Or simply just tell people you "intentionally made it 2 hours long" :P
I hateeee when things are covering the bottom right, I mean yes it could have been positioned a little better but in its current position it really doesn't affect anything as you get more information looking at the units than you do looking at the wireframe view
Bro when he hit Aqueron with that shot on eternal empire and killed literally 17 units... i counted 13 marines 3 marauders and a ghost. That shit made me hard
seppo8383 to my knowledge, Content creators get more money if adds are clicked on and not skipped. I really want to support this guy, hence i watch stupid ads.
Your disrupter shots with Showtime were much too obviously bad. You were letting him win out of respect you cheesy bastard. You literally never hit anything with your disrupters, you consistently shot them from the farthest distance possible, NOT trying to zone, but definitely wasting every single opportunity to do real damage. You shouldn't lose to people intentionally, that doesn't get your respect.
You were literally born into the game and spent all your life playing it and you still get wrecked playing it. Not to say you are a bad player, far from that, and I could not even beat a platinum player who had been stuck at an island for 8 months. But this just hurts to watch. All that effort and every star aligns perfectly and you are still not the best.
Not very nice of you to say, especially when you don't know what you're talking about. Have you seen some of his recent videos? One of which he beats Scarlet in a best of 3..... who is considered one of the best non-Korean players in the world.... When top players face other top players, someone is always going to lose. That's how tournaments work...... you moron
Harstem you saved me. I owe you a big one. I used to rage all the time at everyone and everything. Then i started watching your games on youtube. your series. And youve given me the golden ticket.

bro dont go joker mode
Mucho texto
Ok clown
underappreciated comment
Hope you're doing well
Hello harstem. I was wondering if you could make a short video explaining how to choose upgrades. I notice instead of getting attack2 in the first game you get armor upgrade 1 for ground. How do you know when to get armor or weapon upgrades?
Would love this, guys upvote pls
He explains it a bit in his Colossus guide, in general vs Terran armor should be better
Always attack for protoss except for armour vs terran (and also attack)
Chargelots really benefit from armour
I remember him saying that you go armor vs Terran, unless you are going for a really aggressive blink parting style build.
Always attack. Except armor against bio terran (and attack if you can afford it).
"thanks everyone for watching, if you did-" -video ends
He isn't called "The King of Adobe Premiere" for nothing Kappa
harstem is one of the more underrated players. I think he deserves more attention! Keep on playing my man.
Doesn't he do this as a job because he's the 50th best player in the world.
nub dupre kinda yes, but I think not really. But the things he says on his streams about that topic are a bit cryptic.
Fantastic, would love to see more videos like this if you participate in a tournament again.
I enjoy seeing you try hard and it's icing on the cake whenever you're able to talk while doing it.
51:35 I didn't expect you to remember these lines

2:41 Harstem makes "gollum" noises.
Love your channel bud!!
lmao the whole stalker army at 37:00 and he's like "good eyes' and then one stalker shoots. What suspense xD funniest highlight ever.
46:38 "don't suggest me any bad idea. I have plenty of bad ideas on my own... actually... on this map I could play... oh no the seed has been planted 😬"
This is why I love Hartsem

it's nice to see simultaneously the manage of doble front with 2 big army. Your micro level is pushed and shoved only with Showtime :-)
Even though they're all GM, you could really see the skill gap between his first couple opponents and showtime. Aqueron played very well too
Harstem is a grandmaster btw :D

@@sz-gn9id i know harstem for almost 10 years now (dreamhack, nation war, homestorycup and so on...) More than showtime actually :-)
The poop man returns to his plans for world domination! Keep it up chief
"Were we in danger?"
Has 5k minerals, 3k gas in bank :D
Thanks for making these videos they make a bad day a little better
Meanwhile the question I ask myself is: can I win one game in a tournament
haha I ask myself "can I win one game" period. It's hard to press that find match button sometimes.
*Can I win one game, period?
The question I ask, is can I win two
Same haha
can i qualify for a tournament is far enough away from me
Oh, this explains the cannon rush practice the day before. Better safe than sorry. Love your content!
Dropping 8 mile lines in the middle of the games. Thumbs up!
Harstem, the absolute legend, quoting 8th mile while he’s outplaying his opponent lmao
Great showing man. Showtime is a beast but u put up a good fight. Appreciate all ur videos

Well played Kevin :)
Hey Kevin for what it's worth this is my favorite video of yours. More of these please :)
I literally CANNOT BELIEVE you survived the attack at 1:09:45... with literally zero disruptor hits and only tier 1 units
Protoss
Great content, I’m learning a lot with your vids .Could we see you play with other races?? It would be awesome watching other players react to how you play with Terran or Zerg.
Just checked, still the #YearofHarstem
I saved half of this video for in case harstem didn't post anything for a day he posted a video for the last 30 or so days
the final match was insane, harstem was down so much but was still holding on
AMAZING! I have to stay awake all night because of my stressed dog. (New hotel) So 2hours is a lifesaver
At 1:23:30 his fucking smile when he talks about cutting out the video kills me. You can tell he thinks its fucking hilarious but keeps his composure.
disruptors in the hands of someone like Harstem is a recipe for disaster to the opponent lol
your disrupter control is scary
This was a crazy series from start to finish
He even looks good when he looses it's nuts how hard he can hold
Harstem's trademark harumf warum protosss cough keep it up!
I think the second game was a map hacker. He was fake scanning to confirm what he already knew. Gj beating his ass.
“I play so little pvp these days”. Isn’t most of the Road to rank 1 consisting of PvP? :)
He meant protoss vs protoss
Lol this is a very common mistake to make don't worry most people don't immediately think protoss vs protoss
Congrats on 25k!
I would love to see grandmaster get cannon rushed 😂
That game around #1:00:00 the terran is so happy with the gateway crap :P
I really like your videos. Probably one of the better channels ive just found recently.
The game is significantly louder than your voice, and your keyboard is louder that your voice too.
I think if you could get a 40% boost on your mic output it'd be great
Clarence parents had a real good marriage!
Harstem: I hardly ever play PvP.
Me: I feel like the only thing you ever upload is PvP games 😕
AND NOW WE KILL IT
Never played this game but I enjoy listening to this man type 1000wpm while playing.
Nice first game!
And Clarence parents have a real good marriage
Harstem I have a build idea for later. start off harassing get to late game put down 4 robos, and make 8 sentries and make sure oppenent can scount the 4 robos put them all together. Then halluciante in as many collossus or whatever unit is gonna make him quit XD mind game win.
#55:33 he flew around your stalkers :)
Look at Harstems face when he is in the zone......
Beating Grandmaster suggestion:
PartinG's strategy on Deathaura. Proxy robo
Against Innovation? When artosis was orgasming over Partings micro? (to be fair, so was I, it was spectacular strategic play)
@@whirlwind872 yeah, jaw drop the entire series
Ugh last two games are almost physically painful to watch. The struuugggggle!
Well Showtime is one of my favourite players (thanks to the promotion by Lowko), so I'm perfectly fine with this.
Reason why i suck at this game; i like watching the fights; and stop multi tasking lol
like for the 8 mile reference.
Imo Harstem should rap more in his videos lol
What tournament was this for? I’d love to see some commentary over some of these games, wild stuff
nice work captain, keep up the good content!
I love Harstem
OMG I just saw him kill an innocent mini dinosaur thingy
The add scared the shit out of me
Kevin: Last games suck, oc. But if you look at your last games today what you have learnt from that time till now, what would you have done differently? I'm a n00b, so to me fighting Cancer with Cancer-strategy seems not logical. You're awesome anyways!!!
go to the end of the video.and let it finish. then restart it and all the adds will be gone. just a nice tip
I would be great if there were timestamps in the description or in the video! Love the video still though!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha harstem putting things in the description good one

Hello Harstem. Just out of curiosity, what keyboard and mouse do you use?
spoiler alert Harstem would deny all knowledge of the tournament if he didn't win
clown
good stuff keep it up
56:30 was a beautiful disruptor hit
edit: forgot to put an a
put the workers in a temp control group
41:14 😂
wow that second game was ...
got a quick suggestion, make the video 3 hours long to avoid spoilers (and ofc, explain that at the beginning of the video). Or simply just tell people you "intentionally made it 2 hours long" :P
Yeah, cuz I basically knew what was going to happen when he queued in against his final opponent. Like there was no way he had enough time to win.
Amazing stuff. I wasnt first but I was faster than the ads.
...the sponsorship thing covering the hp of units and buildings instead of putting it on the right next to your cam...
ayyyy
Riael Kratek ?? you can still see the units health on the color or on the screen above them, so it really dosent matter at all. 🤷♂️
I hateeee when things are covering the bottom right, I mean yes it could have been positioned a little better but in its current position it really doesn't affect anything as you get more information looking at the units than you do looking at the wireframe view
51:44 will the real slim shady please stand up?
I still listen to Lonely Island on spotify
Damn! Are disruptor shots even legal against Bio?
Bro when he hit Aqueron with that shot on eternal empire and killed literally 17 units... i counted 13 marines 3 marauders and a ghost. That shit made me hard
So close
whats the point of all the excess clicking?
Not even 2 hours...
😛
I sure hope so! But realistically speaking... ;P
Mate, too quiet. I can't properly hear what you say on max volume.
I can't believe how rude Kevin is... Never says hf at the start
this is not a tournament
Keyboard clicking is a bit louder than usual. Make your voice a bit louder or make keyboard quieter please.
Harstem i really like watching ur videos, but damn thats a lot of advertisement 😕
2 hours so pretty normal
I try to stay around 1 ad every 7-8 minutes.
It is the easiest way for me to monetize my content!
@@Harstem i watch the entire ad just to support you. Even if it is for some crappy pay2win game.
That's why I use adblock. If I was forced to watch ads I would just not watch anything at all.
seppo8383 to my knowledge, Content creators get more money if adds are clicked on and not skipped. I really want to support this guy, hence i watch stupid ads.
Can We Win A StarCraft 2 Tournament?
TL;DR No
Your disrupter shots with Showtime were much too obviously bad. You were letting him win out of respect you cheesy bastard. You literally never hit anything with your disrupters, you consistently shot them from the farthest distance possible, NOT trying to zone, but definitely wasting every single opportunity to do real damage. You shouldn't lose to people intentionally, that doesn't get your respect.
So this is the way Harstem makes money out of tournaments nowadays, I see...
I'm the 666th view.
EARLY BIRD GETS to comment first.....
even tho im not first :P
да
You were literally born into the game and spent all your life playing it and you still get wrecked playing it.
