I think an interesting spin-off series would be to have games with well-known players and their names obscured (i.e. Pros, Casters, Content Creators, etc.), and then you have to guess which person it is.
Dear Harstem, the Rank Roulette Season 2 was very fun. No need to apologize for the rule changes within the season. You are the boss and you make the rules. If anyone complains, let the winner of the game of SC2 set the rule square and fair.
can you add in the slightly awkward length for the intro poses again please :D I love the extra few seconds where they have to hold their pose a bit longer than necessary
I think you did a great job adjusting the "punishment" for not guessing every week. As you need an amazing score to be top 3 and that's all that matters the +1 is, as you say, a big punishment but not too punishing to slop someone who just missed a week from competing. Great job Captain. Hamster, you're great as always. Keep calling Catz out on his SheNaningans. Thank you both for this great series.
For the rules of Harstem vs the world. I think a really good idea would be to only count the top X amount of guesses for each contestant. So if there were 10 episodes perhaps only count the top 8 guesses each person has. That way people can miss a couple of weeks and its not punishing at all, but if you guess every week you get a small advantage. Then like a base punishment of 4 or community average+1 whichever is worse, if you have to fill out guesses if not enough people hit the determined number of guesses. But could also just lower the amount of guesses required to fit as needed.
wow interesting to see how each player shows their competitive spirit. Guess if you were or are a sc2 pro you have to have that grit in some form or fashion
Great show! Great contestants! Also, not a big deal, but the standings at the end have some small mistakes. Upatree, Lowko, ZG and Wardi are tied for 5th place, etc.
Only thing that beats it was this past weekends StayAtHome Story Cup, only thing that could've made it better was if Harstem was a featured caster aswell
I absolutely crushed this one with 4 points only! Diamond 2, Gold 3, Masters 1 and Plat 3. I think being a mid tier diamond player gives you a pretty huge advantage compared to being a GM when guessing this though. Judging if someone is much better, a little better, a little worse or much worse than yourself, instead of having to figure out if the players are 1k MMR or 5k MMR lower than you
I think your 'solution 3' is a great solution. Yes, having rule changes mid-competition kind of sucks, but your reasoning was fully justified. And it's not like this is a super high-stakes tournament or that we signed a big, complicated rule book before entering. The fact that the community does so well is a common phenomenon known as "Wisdom of the Crowd". Basically says that lots of moderately smart people are often, on average, smarter than a very smart person. There's a really interesting video on the topic here th-cam.com/video/lPnik1VamSM/w-d-xo.html
Wisdom of the Crowd? Is it even real? I have seen many examples of mob mentality in my life, but that is pretty much the opposite effect. And it has a well established equation. The intelligence of the crowd equals to the intelligence of the most stupid member of the crowd divided by the number of people in the crowd. ;)
@@lazaruslong697 yes, wisdom of the crowd is real. We all have a tendency to either overestimate or underestimate. Having the average of the crowd makes it such that those who overestimate will balance out those who underestimate, which is why the community will always perform better than one individual
Great series, really enjoying the finals this time round as compared to last season! It's a massive improvement! Keep going Harstem & Hamster!! Hope I'll win something from rank roulette some day lol
wow.... 1st i thought Solar would win... and Catz knocked him out... then my 2nd choice was Lambo.. and Catz knocked him out... so now against all odds.. i gonna say MCanning
at game one it looked like something I would do, perfect execution of Uthermal 2 base all in and then I choke because I have no idea what I am doing, so I guessed Diamond 2 where I am at, and they like "Masters 2" lmao Oh I went 2, 2, 2, 0.
Lez go, CatZ~! NA pride XD (I went diamond 3, gold 2, masters 2, diamond 3, which I think gives 9 total. Been making some good guesses during the finals :D)
Woo-hoo, I can't believe I won something! This is a first for me, I'm super happy with my final score this half of the season. Earlier when I saw the email in my inbox I thought it was a scam, lol Thank you, Captain o7
im gonna say mccanning against catz is going to be good vs evil. the fun cool dude, who has it vs the evil mastermind. maybe i just think that because catz has this coat.
11:00 "You bump it down I Bump it up" - Catz, The Guy who said NA Players are better, decides to guess the rank even higher after finding out its NA MMR. Damn, his mind is an Enigma.

Yo what is this roasting me in round 2
LOL 😂 we're just jealous we don't have announcers is all 💟😇
hey lowko
@@tobiashou7044hey tobias
"Oh he's using the Lowko announcer" "That's already a couple leagues down" 😂
#savage 💀
Lowko: and I took that personally.
CatZ getting featured in 4 different videos of rank roulette in just 1 season is already a massive win for everyone! :D
I like the finals much better this season than last season, because we actually get the banter between the competitors.
I think an interesting spin-off series would be to have games with well-known players and their names obscured (i.e. Pros, Casters, Content Creators, etc.), and then you have to guess which person it is.
lol yeah this could be good. needs to be multiple choice, of course
And how would you score it in case noone gets it right?
He kinda did something like that on his HarstemCasts channel for a bit.
@@freshjori Maybe multiple choice. Maybe just a point for guessing right and see if anyone gets any points.
Basetrade TV did this. They hosted and casted some tournaments where the names were unknown. It was 2 or 3 years ago.
Catz casually brushing his fur coat, what a guy.
Katz saying that they could remove Grandmaster & Master since Harstem was coaching them was subtly the most savage burn
Lambo roasting me was the highlight of my day. Thanks for choosing mine!
Thanks for sending in this amazing replay ^^
@@hamster_designs Welcome Hamster. I was about to send in a good game from recently, but I wanted to throw them through a loop.

CatZ outfit 10/10
The best part was when he was combing his coat lmao
When he took off the tinfoil... that haircut is crazy
can you add in the slightly awkward length for the intro poses again please :D I love the extra few seconds where they have to hold their pose a bit longer than necessary
This was my favorite rank roulette! Just hilarious banter
there are so many good ones, and this one is up there for me too
I lost it with the tinfoil hat
😂😂😂
All your guests are great personalitys. High Level entertainment.

Hamster, you're great as always. Keep calling Catz out on his SheNaningans.
Thank you both for this great series.
Lmao, catz you are hilarious bro! Glad to see you finally getting some laughs outside your channel, been a long time fan since the WOL days
Rank roulette is more about having a laugh between mates than a challenge and this is why we love it!
Catz combing his fir coat I have not laughed this much watching any sc2 content LOL
This is the best SC related episode i have every seen. Just absolutely fantastic. What was that game 2!?
Always a laugh when Lambo's on the channel. Need more casting with the cap and Lambo o7
Isn't the guy from the second replay EchoSoldier the mod/vip in Lowko's twitch channel? I feel he's going to be happy getting called bad by Lambo XD.
Maybeeeeee. Lambo is my hero. Im very happy he roasted me.
@@EchoSoldi3r !echoshush XD
@@haste953 Dang it. you beat me to it... by a day xD

catz too good! Catz will take the championship
20:25 LOOOOOOL the face and zoom oh my god I am in tears
4:20 The meta goes deep in this episode.
I love Catz's sheer silliness🤣🤣🤣🤣
That was such a fun episode. I was laughing all the way through. Hope that finals are going to be a banger as well!
wow interesting to see how each player shows their competitive spirit. Guess if you were or are a sc2 pro you have to have that grit in some form or fashion
LMAO THAT SECOND GAME! RIP all those poor marines.
This wasn’t Rank Roulette! This was Lowko Roast episode! So funny 🤣🤣
Round 1 was the weirdest TvZ I've seen in my life.
Great show! Great contestants!
Also, not a big deal, but the standings at the end have some small mistakes. Upatree, Lowko, ZG and Wardi are tied for 5th place, etc.
What race are you playing? Zrotoss
Lol, for the second game. That was just amazing. But also bronze and silver don't build lurkers. Rip marines
Hey I just hit plat, it's ok.
I can’t put into words how good this show is. DH Winter was entertaining but this is peak sc2 content.
Only thing that beats it was this past weekends StayAtHome Story Cup, only thing that could've made it better was if Harstem was a featured caster aswell
The person that kevin coached will prob go from masters to gold in a day
Catz is such value, such a great personality for the show!
holy crap that round 2 last engagement massacre was insane, reversed heart of the swarm trailer cinematic???
Great to take a shot at Lowko while he's casting stay at home story cup 😂
Mi Causita is becoming too overpowered as episodes go by!
I absolutely crushed this one with 4 points only! Diamond 2, Gold 3, Masters 1 and Plat 3.

Judging if someone is much better, a little better, a little worse or much worse than yourself, instead of having to figure out if the players are 1k MMR or 5k MMR lower than you
Now thats the QUALITY content, baby!
Catz will win this, he obviously is prepared 🤡

These pro players thinking people below gold play lurker... I'm a gold 3 player and i don't play lurker!
This game was actually my first time using lurker. It was a 33 minute epic and I ended up winning.
@@EchoSoldi3r We want to see the full thing, looks awesome.
Tfw you guess correctly because the replay looks as bad as your own games.
I play T in g2 on NA; that was not a usual game. I was sure it was s3 or s2.
Ukkie is back!!!! Nice
and Shoutouts to my washed up Lowko
Pure entertainment right here
Great series, really enjoying the finals this time round as compared to last season! It's a massive improvement! Keep going Harstem & Hamster!! Hope I'll win something from rank roulette some day lol
Catz is such a cool guy :D
Your videos are just awesome, comedy is gold, just laugh alltogether.
I thought the Protoss in the last replay was way better than Plat 3, that guy is gonna climb. Good job coaching him, whoever he was.
Who was the guy he coached?
wow.... 1st i thought Solar would win... and Catz knocked him out... then my 2nd choice was Lambo.. and Catz knocked him out... so now against all odds.. i gonna say MCanning
I mean, MCannings score dominated th regular season.
@@hamster_designs thinkin Catz done ran out of lives
@@hamster_designs nice fix btw on chapter pics.. no more spoilers
12 points today; I split Catz and Lambo.
.
.
.
R1: M1 - 4 Points (Catz' guess)
R2: S3 - 5 Points (Harstem's guess)
R3: M1 - 0 Points (Catz' guess)
R4: G2 - 3 Points (I over-estimated Harstem's coaching)
One more and last chance to beat CatZ next week ^^
@@hamster_designs The Catz in the finals of Season 2
Little boy blue and the McCanning moon...
I tried.
This show just gets better with every episode 😆
Great chat this episode!
20:21 That burn. No amount of Aloe Vera will heal Harstem.
that was great thanks guys
at game one it looked like something I would do, perfect execution of Uthermal 2 base all in and then I choke because I have no idea what I am doing, so I guessed Diamond 2 where I am at, and they like "Masters 2" lmao
Oh I went 2, 2, 2, 0.
I really enjoyed that. For the next season i wish for 3 Players right from the start. Thats so much fun.
I love this series :D
Catz is such a try hard lmfao
The type of guy who always wins the sex race against his wife/gf LOL
@harstem, only build units that the F12 menu says are weak against whatever your opponent is playing
When I was bronze back in wings of liberty I thought that sensor towers were the best buildings in the game.
My question : Why Catz is wearing fur ? Is there any reason for that astonishing style ?
I really like the chapter/block things in the progress bar. I am assuming that Hamster put them there, if so, thank you!
I hope Lowko makes a revenge video outta this 😁
Love the hat Catz!
just some dudes talking shit dissing each other and having fun with a game, i love it. almost feels like im chilling with my boys:D
Lez go, CatZ~! NA pride XD
(I went diamond 3, gold 2, masters 2, diamond 3, which I think gives 9 total. Been making some good guesses during the finals :D)
I am high af and I legitely got just 5 points omg plus I would rly like to know who won game 4 the terran or the toss
The game went on for like 15 more minutes but the toss won on the end
is tin foil hats gonna be the new meta of rank roulette?
So good
Got the first two dead on, I should be on this show
Captain, my captain where is archon mode????? Pls bring back archon mode my High Templar Harstem
Woo-hoo, I can't believe I won something! This is a first for me, I'm super happy with my final score this half of the season.
Earlier when I saw the email in my inbox I thought it was a scam, lol
Thank you, Captain o7
Catz showing up a fur coat and a tinfoil hat is just peak fashion and I'm tired of pretending otherwise
This really is NA's revenge
RANK ROULETTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
unlisted but still watching B)
Can you ask Lambo what he thinks of Lambodado?
Yes.
im gonna say mccanning against catz is going to be good vs evil. the fun cool dude, who has it vs the evil mastermind. maybe i just think that because catz has this coat.
if lambo would have been perfect, he would stil be 1 point behind, as catz would have gotton only 3 points in that case!
1:00 PartinG plays NA haha
Next season you should have a metal league player on the show. I wonder if they could do better than the pros on low-level replays?
roast of Lowko, the video
Protoss pretending to be zerg in that first game
o shit i won! damn i got lucky this time
Congratulations! Make sure to add a few tips and tricks for Harstem when you reply to the email ;]
9 to 6, not 10 to 6 ! Or does guessing GM instead of masters 1 gets lambo 2 points ?
Yes, it does.
@@hamster_designs oki 💕 makes sense
I hope you feature Catz in other content in the future! He's a riot, this season has been amazing
Nice!
i love it
11:00 "You bump it down I Bump it up" - Catz, The Guy who said NA Players are better, decides to guess the rank even higher after finding out its NA MMR.

Why did Harstem stop guessing mid way?
I have no idea ^^
