I realize that almost all of these is it imba or do I suck guys have a crazy advantage that they throw away. They never press their advantage and hate moving out with a massive army. They get so passive when ahead and so aggressive when they're behind.
But the name is without space between "ein" and "stein", so it woul translate so "astone". Since "ein" is also "one", you could also translate it to "onestone". 🤓
Quick note for the editor: youtube algorithm notices bleeps and count them as half a curseword, harstems own sound effects could be used instead. Also much easier on the ears and funnier imo. Keep up the great work!
Really good content mate. Just got back into SC2 again after 5 years and I'm having a great time with Protoss - your builds and videos have definitely motivated me! Thanks and keep it up!
Can we do a Harstem reacting to people who suck series? Just people, like me, who admit we suck and are in low leagues getting absolutely roasted by Harstem while he gawks at the ridiculously stupid stuff that happens down here?
@@PropheticShadeZ you are 100% correct, it is insanely hard, I meddle at around 4500 as random, after every loss (and some wins) I am reminded of how much I suck at the game. I always watch the replay and the amount of mistakes I make is hilarious.
You understand that the first tanks were infantry support, with the sole purpose of being anti-infantry. Unless humans can now magically move at 70km/h
@@hamster4sale Yes, but what reason is there to compare Roman Infantry to the first tanks when they are already over a thousand years apart, and the difference between the modern tanks and first tanks is less than a century?
@@EstrellaViajeViajero I mean it's a silly analogy in a comedy video about sc2. So pointing out that modern tanks can pull 70km/h not only misses the spirit of the analogy, but is also factually incorrect since you feel like ignoring that slow tanks existed.
Harstem, thanks to your critique, I learned enough about SC2 to finally challenge the multiplayer tutorial. The concept of multiplayer was always a bit too stressful, but thinking about things the way you break them down helped me calm down and organise things. I wasn't only able to win, but I was able to realise how much of the tutorial was superfluous, and end the match quickly.
A suggestion for your next Beating Grandmaster with Stupid Stuff: You can't build Pylons except for base construction. For supply, you are allowed to build Nexii only. Each Pylon is allowed to support 2 buildings. E.g. once you have a single Pylon you must build Gate/Cybercore (example) before your next Pylon.
The "I'm your host Kevin the Koning is going to be the best mic drop for my beats, thanks Harstem. I love Harstem Also I thought I got a text message when the mid game review sound came up.
This guy wanted to make an A-move army for a free win, but instead he failed at A-move and attacked the rocks. Like, this is how bad that shit was. You failed to A-move, dude. Also, the storms were as timely as me going to the beach this year. (I have NOT gone to the beach yet)
This one was really good, but i still enjoy the one with Lowko the most! Thanks for high quality jokes! Your humor is very intelegent and i like that! (sorry for bad english)
Julius Caeser was only ever consul / dictator of the REPUBLIC. The Roman empire didn't exist until his nephew Octavian, whom he adopted as his son, became Emperor Augustus.
What i get from this series, the angy coaches from winter, the fact that there are hundreds of build order guides, casted pro games , Streams of the pro gamers themselves and the replay system inside the game itself is. If u actually want to get better in SC2 you have everything you could need to improve BUT to many of us are just too FUCKING LAZY :D
23:00 Julius Caesar is pronounced Yulee- us Kaisar. You got the first name spot on. All c’s in Latin are pronounced as K. Thanks for the vid as always 😁
Everyone's posting Serrral content today. I don't want to watch serral, it's boring, you know zerg will win. Thanks fo saving my evening with this one, Harstem.
16:12 "I have way better creep spread than him!" I said it before, and I'll say it again: It is super imba how Zerg is supposed to have map vision WITHOUT OBSERVERS! And how is 'Toss supposed to see anything without creep?! And don't get me started on Terran, who have NO Observers AND no creep?! Wow this game is imbalanced left, right and center!
Literally the answer to this game is to 1. build more carriers. 2. a move 3. spend literally 100% of your focus on controlling your high temps and just storm the fucking zerg. 4. ez win gg. Carrier Archon Storm needs to a move and micro 1 set of units. Blord Corruptor Viper needs to a move and micro 2 sets of units. That means in Diamond, the protoss wins every time because the zerg needs to micro more than 1 selection of unit so they'll always fuck up.
Hey Harstem great analysis of the protoss player but tell me how to counter BroodLord's + curroptors + infestors + vypers. So basically zerg endgame spellcasters + free units ?
After watching a few of these IODIS videos. I think that only playing Starcraft 2 when it first came out and not for long (basically just the campaign on easy no multiplayer) but keeping up with videos of Starcraft I could beat some of these players just because I played Dawn of war a lot and I kinda know the units in Starcraft from watching Harstem and Lowko.
Well To be fair After a bit he clearly should have switch back to ground that like 40 corrupter or something was just way too much for 2 carryer. His early game wasn't too bad tho but his unite movement was the bigest flaw (seeing all the time the templar where like 5 years away form the army was just sad like some time they wear even the last one being retreateing like If you got Templar you need to protect them whit your army you can't just Yolo them)... And yah that hiting a rock on creep was not a good idea (at less do that off creep tho it probably help zerg more overall in general) Any way it much easyer to know the mistake whit perfect intel for sure tho. (much harder to read whene you don't got good scouting) And I suck at SC2 so I wouldn't say I would have done better. SORRY FOR THE BAD ENGLISH
Kill the god damn overlords near scouting your base. Information in war is HUGE. After those overlords are down hunt any on the map.. you want your opponent as blind as possible. Edit: After watching, how did he loose??
Lowko is self aware enough of his own faults/mistakes, plus he's high Master consistently and GM occasionally. He'll be self-coaching while also still happily trying other SC2 and RTS stuff.
Just look at his SC:Remastered gameplay. Practically 80% of any episode are people flaming him for applying SC2 pro league logic to the first game's campaign lol
Late game zerg in PvZ is actually imba though. Obviously this guy just played bad, but a lot of pros in the last couple years have said in interviews that if PvZ goes late, Protoss autoloses (even harstem said it's very hard on his stream). There's a reason everyone goes for cheese or gladept rush in pro games. Really fun episode though.
It's weird. It seems like nothing in this game is over powered, there's so many variables that is user-dependent that it's always your fault if you lose a game. I've never honestly seen this in a video game, where the mechanics of said video game are all seemingly...Rock paper scissors. Yknow? Corruptor+broodlord army, scissors. Many stalkers, rock. I haven't played the game besides co-op, campaign, arcade, and some joke 1v1's with friends so I don't really have more insight than Harstem's videos. The only thing I see that's super obnoxious is stuff like cannon rushing someone's base. I felt second hand frustration watching Harstem get cannon rushed in some of his challenges. (Also, I heavily appreciate whoever draws the lil doodles in the IMBA cards, thank you for that)
14:15 is the funniest thing i've seen. The zerg just sneak in from the left, yoink a carrier and leave without the protoss reacting at all. Love it
YOINK TriHard
19:18 Zerg yoink one carrier and then kill his own viper instead of carrier
@@crazy_man7578 Punished for yoinking a male carrier instead of a female
@@rykehuss3435 that's a pretty racist meme
Sidecutt3 Ok
Loved the subtle addition of tropical beach music when Harstem panned over the army supply idling at home
It's holidays man, feels good to chill. Don't be too harsh on these archons and hts enjoying a cocktail :)
"We need to first find out if the birds are wearing...anti-bullet armor."
Heavy from Team Fortress 2:"I've yet to meet one who can outsmart boolet."
Some Disjointed slow birb boi:"Haha MMR go burrrr."
I realize that almost all of these is it imba or do I suck guys have a crazy advantage that they throw away. They never press their advantage and hate moving out with a massive army. They get so passive when ahead and so aggressive when they're behind.
Probably the safety of the big army vs the pressure of being behind xD
I'm winning. Time to retreat!
"Broodlords are OP"
Broods don't even attack anything until 29:50
Pretty sure Broodlords are the slowest unit to tech to of any race. And then they're not even that good.
I just want to add that “Einstein“ literally translates into “a stone“ from german. Be careful of those rocks, their smarter then you think
But the name is without space between "ein" and "stein", so it woul translate so "astone". Since "ein" is also "one", you could also translate it to "onestone". 🤓
Computers are just rocks we tricked into thinking.

Editor is really going off in this one
I dont even play SC2 but this series is the best! Thank you Harstem
You should. More challenging than it looks. I'm sure you would suc... I'm sure you would succeed in having fun :) Just like the rest of us.
Give it a try, even just at a casual level-- it can be quite fun if you enjoy strategy oriented games
Quick note for the editor: youtube algorithm notices bleeps and count them as half a curseword, harstems own sound effects could be used instead. Also much easier on the ears and funnier imo. Keep up the great work!
I love this series so much. The constant barrage of mediocre jokes is so funny to me.
The analogy at the begging was the best thing I ever heard

Call it "we really suck, please make us IMBA " XD
BROOOOOONZE LEEEEEEEEAAAAAGUE HEEEERRRRRRRROOOOOOESSSSSS!11one
You mean bronze league heroes? :D
That would be really good. I have a very good clip where me and my opponent absolutely sucked and we just killed each other at the start.
Loko do (did?) a lot of replay review. Alas, he never speeds us the game even when nothing happens and he's not as rude and funny as Harstem :D
14:15 This was fabulous.
"toss is broken, I even had better creep spread than him" you got me Harstem, you fucking got me
19:54 I love the tropical music playing. That 25 supply is on RR duty.
That fight at @29:45 when he went to save the nexus instead of winning the game by killing all the naked brood lords with his air...
"...IQ of a rock." Shows picture of Albert Einstein 😂😂
You should do an Is It Imba? video for that “gl hf” guy from your Stupid Stuff video 😂 just continue to rub it in his face
Is it BM or do I suck?
Oh yes please haha that would be non-consensual roasting though, so not sure about the ethic side of that but I still want it.
actually looks like protoss is OP in this lategame. Problem is that the protoss seemed to go afk a lot.
AFK mentally***
ftfy
@@samneal7679 haha ye :)
Yea i dont really blame him, starcraft is super hard, and unit counters and tech switches are really hard to see without extensive game knowledge
@@PropheticShadeZ no it isn't. It's super simple. How else would 90% of the twitch chat be in the top 1% of sc2 ladder?

23:47 Wow, Julius Caesar had the world's fastest infantry if they thought a 70km/hr tank was "slow".

19:55 I have never laughed this hard in my life
The Zerg creep was never cleared either. It was all the way on the other side by the end
What a beautiful analogy to start the video off lmao
19:54 cue the beach music...
The editor was on point this game - you can tell he had fun
The editor always seems to have fun. It's great.
It's the last bit of fun that gets down into Harstems.. I mean masters dark and lonely basement :(
Me: Keeps pushing F10 at the end game screen on a SC2 TH-cam video.
Also me: *Score screen is imba*
harstem my main man you just saved me in 13:50 with that heads up i am very thankfull

This is probable metaphorical bullet proof bird he was referring to originally.

i'm so early that my opponent 6 pooled me

is there a Harstem DIscord? if so I hope there's an "analogy" channel

fantastic editing btw. just the right amount

The name of the sender tells me we've got something speshul on our hands here, errbady
We think the same thing in the korean community too. There were some nurf on the banelinhs but i think the queen needs to be nurfed.
Dustin Browder wasn't just a fan of desttructible rocks, but also of Einstein I guess
in terms of "storming their own units" maybe they have been playing the arcade game Direct Strike... there your storm replenishes allies shields xD
Honestly, this is free coaching from Harstem. These players are geniuses.
