Thank you for humbling me, captain! I didn't even see all the errors I made. A lot of my build got messed up too because I was thinking about what I should even build in a situation like this, but I feel like I have a grasp now after watching this! With this feedback I should be able to get to at least 65% in my PvT! 😎 gg's!
Respect sir! You did well.
These sorts of comments are what really make the series. People expounding about how IMBA the opponent's build is, getting roasted for actually just sucking and yet still coming up and saying "thank you for telling what i did wrong and what i should have done, I'll be trying to do better in future with that advice in mind".
Glad you have a good sense of humor.
you're a good sport
@@Santisima_Trinidad bruh people only submit their matches expecting to be roasted, if someone submitted and then in the video came to the comments being like "HARSTEM YOU GOT IT WRONG, I DID EVERYTHING PERFECT IN SPITE OF WHAT YOU SAID AND I EXPECTED YOU TO AGREE WITH ME" my god I'd be fucking sent to the stratosphere LOL
Emil: "Do I suck or is UThermal Imba?
Harstem: " Yes to both"
can we just apriciate that there are still people out there willing to get absolutely destroyed by harstems strict fatherly reviews.
You can watch your mistakes over and over again and wont find cues. Different person (ESP more experienced) having different pov can point you light years ahead.
It's like Winter's Angry Coach series: mean but a very detailed breakdown of everything that happened.
Crazy that he thinks he would beat uThermal if he was playing a "real" match, considering uThermal's true MMR is in the 6.2k MMR range without the handicap of this challenge limiting him to 5.6k...
@@PT-qe2rb bro too obvious trolling ;)
A great counter to uThermal's challenge builds is to assume every Terran on the ladder is uThermal doing a challenge build.
🤣
czcams.com/video/Ue7v1rtr4u4/video.html here is uThemal playing this guy Emil… so this barcode truly was uThermal
Considering how imba terran IS... lolol the only reason terran isn't nerfed is all the fanboys that suck at the game playing the race :)
@@anjhindul Im dia 1-3 all "4" races. Terran is my lowest rank, same amount of games on all races......
@@anjhindul Atleast add that they are imbalanced in your opinion. Its the same as spreading fake news. Its a real problem these days you know.
"x to GM' series doesn't start in bronze, it starts with placement matches, which leads to Diamond and pretty soon - Master league. Same way BeastyQT used to do it. This not the first time I've heard someone say these series starts at bronze league, now that would be just inexcusably cruel.
İmagine a pro player begging his opponent Terran to stop stealing his time
I already find it not very fun watching uthermal absolutely own (not to say humiliate) diamond players, I’ll often wait when he gets to masters 1
@@nikokiko47 tbf he really tries not to obliterate them early with e.g. just a single reaper and he already lost to someone in one challenge during the placement matches so I'd say he's not that bad of a smurfing offender
@@geuros that’s 100% true, just the other day (maybe yesterday) he said he doesnt try hard with his reaper not to end the game quickly
Yeah in the early episodes he purposely gives himself extra restrictions on top of the challenge, like not using to Reaper to do damage, minimal Medivac use, no bunkers.
Harstem: MORE stalkers. You can micro them easily.
uThermal: Stalkers are ez. Just scan behind them.
Harstem: Why colossi? They bad.
uThermal: Is absolutely terrified of Colossi.
They're not really disagreeing with each other. It's just that uthermal thinks of ways he can lose to lower mmr players, while harstems thinks of how a higher mmr player would beat it. Harstem specifically says that INITIALLY a high stalker count is important.
A good example was Gerald just stomping uthermal twice in a row with stalkers by just executing a tight build.
Hahah..true
The funny thing is that the colossus would have been great if he had hold it back like 10 seconds and then used it to clear the mines.
@@ingrudmessenger1193 Colossi does seem like an interesting counter idea. Along with some phoenix
"I'm terrified of the laser giraffe"
Emil: "My PvT is 64%, I have the higher ground!"
uThermal: "And I'm the 36%, it's not probability, friendo."
Emil's PvUthermal winrate is 0% :P
Thermal has like 95% winrates in his challengesXD
I think it's more that he doesn't understand how Elo translates into probability. Assuming that SC2 uses a pretty vanilla Elo system, a 64% WR in TvP indicates that his TvP is 100 Elo higher than his actual rating. This means that there is a 500 Elo disparity between him and uthermal, which translates into a 95% expected winrate for uthermal.
I love how you caveat Mike Tyson with “in his prime” as if you would have a chance now that he’s older.
No, he was emphasizing ha vast is the skill difference between emil and uthermal.
My favorite part of this is when he said he'd beat Uthermal if he played standard lol
Right? Haha, you lost to disabled uThermal, now if he played to his full strength that would be better for me, hmm
Marc's main account hovers around 6.8k to 7.3k MMR... that's like 1-2k MMR above Emil. Yeah, that cracked me up big time.
Atleast he win at creaking jokes
He understands the format of the show. His stupid bragging made the video much better. 4D chess.
@@Jordan-Ramses the repeated 64% wr was the best joke haha
It was from the grand finale of cyclone mine, in the last video, starting 8:20 for people interested seeing uThermals perspective
*czcams.com/video/Ue7v1rtr4u4/video.html
I saw it... it was cruel ;)
"I lost to a guy who played better than me. What should I do?" - "You need to get better."
Well its like harstem asking how can I ever become the world champion and beat people like serral.
@@Name-ru1kt I think he did beat Serral once with a cheese lol
LoL, this is hilarious seeing uThermal here in Harstem´s video 'is it imba or do I suck' xD
uThermal starts wherever provisional MMR places him on his challenges, to minimize boring early grind
Yeah it'd suck to see Marc play 30+ games rolling bronze to plats.
I enjoyed this one so much. Thanks Emil for submitting, uThermal for the interesting challenge, and Harstem for the ridiculous metaphors and jokes. I laughed so hard so many times.
Plot twist, Emil is actually out here playing age of mythology and getting rolled by cyclops's
"No one likes jazz." *sad saxophone noises*
many protosses have beating him on this challenge with sharp 4 gate blink stalker timing..and many of uthermal's victories are based on mistakes like those forward blinks done multiple times in one game and/or the build order.
The editing cracks me up every time. Love this series
Just to be clear mathematically about the 64%. Assuming every person is roughly on the MMR he is supposed to be (improving takes long periods of time and may hit soft-caps), your overall win-ratio must be 50%. So if your TvP is 64%, it means the other two (TvZ and TvT) must be 86% in total, somehow distributed (43% if even).
The only place where this ratio is advantageous is on the pro-level (GM upwards), where your actual performance is somewhat obfuscated and open-ended, especially in tournaments. Let's say you win 70% of TvT, you may also win 70% of TvZ and TvP, because you are simply better than other pros.
This was fun. I do hope you're gonna get a good IODIS for Uthermal's marine-medivac challenge. Two units is one thing, but if it's one fighting unit - and a starting unit at that - maybe there's some validity to the complaint.
Mass Cyclone widow mine making its way onto other youtuber's channel. Marc you've made it. Not to mention your 50k subs, and I mean you already made it with your pro sc2 career, but on CZcams, you've made it for real now. Double thumbs up to Harstem, Emil and uThermal.
I liked how Harstem used a boxing analogy about fighting Mike Tyson and my immediate thought was: Harstem is a amateur that's really cool. Then a minute later, Harstem references the pokemon cartoon and then my thought was: Harstem is a Nerd who does some boxing. If you get a chance to make a hype video of your boxing that would be cool to see. Thanks for making a Fantastic video.
"the reason it's not used in pro play, is because itwould be nerfed instantly" --- legit logic, like all Terrans agreed not to win a major tourny to avoid nerfing this secret strategy :D
yeah, that is a really smart move :D
Can't get nerfed if you never win anything. Maru is ruining the terran plan for everyone.
"I'm going to keep this imba build in pocket so that I can pull it out on youtube challenge streams"
'Its like people who say they like jazz. I don't buy it.' 🤣
Awesome IODIS
the Mike Tyson bimp slap is the greatest analogy anyone could've ever thought of relating to this
iodis is the only show where i keep my wireless headphones on & the show running when going to the toilet.
What happens next is in your imagination
the crossover we didn't know we wanted
I regularly think about the Mike Tyson pimp slap analogy. This is pure gold 😂😂
That's a cool topic I was waiting for! Glad someone finally complained on uThermal's challenges! )))
Emil is GIgachad!!!! First featured in uThermal’s, now in Harstem’s… If only Pig or Lowko would cast him, his winrate against YT casters would be 75%… Awesome player!! xD
thanks to Emil for having Harstem cast one of these ridiculous challenge games.
Thank you for replay Emil. Enjoyed the comments so much . I now know why I such starcaft too.if only I had a 64% win rate. Keep the great video .
I've mass-cyclone meme'd way before uthermal did the series. I can tell from experience the way thermal lance colossus hard-counters cyclone mine is absolutely disgusting. The only way to outplay with cyclones in that case is getting lucky with multipronging.
outside too cold for Road race cycling traning,but i already wahe up 5:00 am... what i can do?.... YES i KNOW İT !... Watch İMBA or DO i SUCK SHOW! (note:Harstem thanks for good quality creative video , i love you men ! )
I've been waiting my entire life for this to happen.
"Pimp slap" lol :D you crack me up @Harstem - love your channel. Thank you.
11:20
hey man, i like jazz
So what's Emil's winrate in PvT?
"The guys who scream nasty things at me when I walk to the supermarket." 😂
hi, LOVE the special affects
There is a voiceLine of Cyclone , if you click on it enough times, there he says that he is called "Cyclone" not the "Cyclope"
He accidentally built a colossus, but funnily enough, colossus would be the hard counter to this. It's counter intuitive, but as long as you have things to protect them, the cyclones can never reach. I have a 5k friend that only plays cyclone every single game and i can tell you from experience that's how you counter cyclones only (widow mines here don't really change the equation)
With sentry, zealot, stalker? It's not as clear cut as you make it sound
@@oldoddjobs well yeah it's a bit more subtle but it's stalker colossus. Once you get 4 or more colossus they're forced to go into tanks, which just takes up money and supply and map control. the cyclone player wants to be on the map constantly pressuring. The reason is because cyclones aren't great defensively, and the cyclone player usually has less echo due to giving some up in the early game (cyclones off of a normal opener is bad , which is why uthermal went double gas). So once they are forced to go tanks you get map control back and then the game is great for you. You can go to skytoss or just take many bases and his army just kinda sucks (because it's cyclone and mech is bad in PvT in general).
@@cobble3231 cyclons are the worst unit in the entire game against protos. Unless they are playing stargate its straight up useless. Even then its kinda meh. Pheonixes can kinda just cancel the lock on. It pretty much is the same strength of a stalker but cost twice as much.
Its normally better to just get turrets and save the production for something else.
ok i have to say a few weeks ago I met a terrain who did this exact unit composition to me on EU as a diamond protoss. Now I have to doubt who I encountered in that game...
What Marc has (if you also watch his channel, like me) is an amazing game sense and incredible ability to adapt and toss in some random flair and just try little things to throw people off with some mindgames when possible. He does this all while narrating and explaining his thought process as well which I personally find incredible. Sometimes the builds he does pay off and end up in a very weird and entertaining match, sometimes he straight up loses due to the perfect counter and good scouting. Like Harstem notes, uThermal is a former pro player who has played against allot of good players who sometimes outmatch him completely as well, that sort of experience really matters in the end.
can i ask what people use to practice please thanks
Well, I must admit, would I have played Protoss (but sadly too much sodium in my veins, so Terran up the night it is :D ) , I would also not have the correct response to this cyclone/mines comp.
I kinda understand the Colossi move. Colossi have good range, and if cyclones are not microed "nearly individually", they tend to "line up " pretty decently to catch the thermal lance and die. AND they clear mines patch at range easily.
But at Masters level you should expect good micro. Still I "understand" Emil's logic here.
Cyclones are paper tigers. Big DPS but crappy armor for mech. I remember the time before tankiness got nerfed on these bad boys (2018 If my memory serves well), early pushes with them were a blast, as you didn't even need a tech lab to get them.
Anyway thanks Captain for the insight !
every video of you makes me spill my drink! Lovely.
I would say that speciality and confidence in a matchup implies the opposite of fundamentals, so it made sense to me that his build order and timings were off.
Lol I love the "if uThermal played standard I would've easily beat him"
Harstem, I think if Mike Tyson boxed a REAL match, you would be able to beat him. The pimp slap is just overpowered.
12:39 -- woaaah, hold on a second... Was the purification nova *NOT* in complete and full range of the Widow mines ?? :O
It appears to me like it CLEARLY *WAS* .
the disruptor is killed by a widow mine just before the nova goes off, cancelling it.
@@randommcranderson5155 you are absolutely correct.
Damn unlucky! :)
But nevertheless a quite entertaining ... "Western staredown duel!" type of scenario ! :D
Noone likes jazz 😅 mad respect captain. You dare when others pretend
Jazz is just sophisticated elevator music. Fight me!
This is why I like being in the metal leagues, because then my abomination I call a build, can be several minutes late and hit with 1/5th the units of an actual build and still win.
Pimp slap analogy might be best analogy
Not gonna lie, Cyclops definitely sounds like a name that would fit right into Starcraft.
Cyclops = Cylones with mines. This new build order is the cyclops build, like MMM ...
Harstem you have crossed a line sir. Jazz is amazing and we all know it!... as the background to certain inappropriate types of videos...... yeah, nvm judge Harstem, defense retracts it's statement...
u roasted him to the ground and game didnt even start properly! 🤣🤣🤣 i love u cap! ☺️
I love the Ash Ketchum analogy. XD
Imagine being completely blasted the entire game for sucking... and the result is a 50/50?! Greatest result so far. Well done Emil 😂
Don't worry Captain ! There can't be any nazi in the Netherlands, because they said they wouldn't go through it to invade France, so you can safely go to your local supermarket !
Sincerely, a french guy. (1939)
Hamster going ham and we're all here for it .... I feel like this is a deja vu comment ...
Person whose full-time job is literally playing this game smurfing at 5k mmr is super IMBA
Eh, cope
@@ferallhamster970 Cope with what? LMAO
@@ferallhamster970 Believe it or not, smurfing gives you way more content than playing in your own ELO.
@@ohlookitisacat7404 Smurfing is not a good practice. Imo having "content" doesnt justify falsely lowering your rating to get free wins (and often harm others' experience in the process, b/c they have no chance)
You have to love how when they play compositions that they tend to win with, they are "gurus" but if they play against a composition they lose against, it's an OP composition. Ego... People are so narcissistic these days. It's so fucked. Just toddler-tier narcissistic ego. You have to become self-aware and then self-caring. You have to invite your shadow into your life and care for it instead of it playing you like a marionette.
When he says pppimp slapppp🤣🤣😭😭
Emil seems like he doesn't understand the fundamental reason of why build orders exist... and how they were built.
If your PvT winrate is 64%, then you can pretty much just ask yourself: "Is Thermy within the top 36% of my match pool?"
Harstem was straight up at the end lmao
I really hope someone sends in the other side of one of his mass marine to GM games.
#suggestion of a new series: PROBE WAR
You invite a pro player and you are only allowed to build probes. Duke it out!
11:24 This is the most suicidal move and throw away that lower level Protoss players love to do . Blink forward to attack a larger army count. Now you cut off your own escape route, cannot evade widow mine shots, because blink has cooldown.
I have 65% win rate in TvP and average 8 score in IELTS, but every 3800 Protoss player I played with thus far rolled over me easily xD
LOL what a funny guy this game most of all is about who presses buttons faster and click mouse more precisely thus its nigh impossible to win against somebody who is just much faster than you...
(of course strategic decision matters that's why my win rate in TvT is only ~40%... I haven't figured out how to play it on my level yet...).
PS. Jazz is great! xD
I have a 64% win rate ZvT vs. hard AI at slowest speed, so maybe I could beat uT ... nah Cap would just be mildly annoyed by my 3000 mineral no gas queen drone build.
You're a content MACHINE!
It's tongue in cheek, geez
Emil, Harstem just told you to: Sitt ner i båten.
Harsten... harsten... harsten... harsten...
why diss on jazz captn? lol if you find the subgenres that resonate with you it's pretty thrilling music tbh
I too have a 64% win rate and I’ve only played one game!
Can we just say... "Uthermal is imbalanced!" xD?
I have been waiting for one of uThermals build to end up on IODIS!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sameeeeee
The king of analogies 👍
Uthermal never starts his series' from bronze. He generally gets placed in dia
He thinks cyclone/widowmine is bad? Save to assume he hasn't seen the penguin brothers then 😁
this one made me curious to see the "REAL match" where Emil the Viking roles up and smokes UThermal like a camel... or rather Emil gets folded like a IKEA camping chair ;) UThermal is not very funny, and talks way to much (like every tulip grower), but he knows his Terran shit and is an awesome player... Harstem should organize a match up (best of 3) with commentary ✨
You are the Captain of analogy.
I just recently started watching uThermal's CZcams channel and I've heard him call Cyclones "Cyclops" before. I think that's why our Protoss player called them Cyclops in the balance complaint. Although I don't know why uThermal calls them Cyclops himself.
Emil "I played my first match today, 100% win rate. Am I the new goat?"
It is still just BM for a GM like Uthermal to do this kind of series in my opinion. I am surprised Harstem did not do one of his similes:
"This is like if Ronaldo would show up at a football cup for 14 year olds in Amsterdam, and then crush them with his skill and doing tricks to make them look silly. He would just look silly and no one thinks he is awesome."
uthermal plays placement matches and just climbs the ladder. There's no smurfing beyond what anyone would have to do to climb the ladder. we're talking a mid 5k mmr protoss not a diamond league player.
Dude! Most types of jazz are unlikable, but try watching Dixieland Droopy. Aggressive, fast-paced jazz, the grandfather of speed metal.
Marc “Uthermal” Tyson
. Too funny. Love it.
Idk why you're not mentioning the fact that colossi is indeed a *really* good counter to cyclone widow mine. It just shreds cyclone and stops them from being able to get ez free shots
He's not mentioning it, because it's absolutely not true in the earlygame. Which is when he lost. This is kind of an important concept to understand.
@@henningbreede6428 He could have easily had 3 colossi out when that push hit and defended it.
@@patrickcampbell957 You should watch the video again, colossi are not required to defend vs that so early, stalkers are enough. Also, whenever you play a game, you can't pierce into the future and see what opponent is going to do with certainty, you have to work with the information you have while you are playing the game and so you don't really rush out colossi vs someone who is going for mech.
@@patrickcampbell957 That is total nonsense and makes me think that you don't play the game.
@@henningbreede6428 Are you sure you watched the video? Before you also accuse me of not playing the game, I'll just refer you to what Harstem said on the video. 9:36 carefully use your ears. Harstem said mass stalkers first because they're already a counter to cyclones. He also said colossi with only a few stalkers is bad against cyclones, so mass stalkers first then colossi.
It's like you're suggesting what Harstem said not to do. This is just a 9 minutes and a half game. Can't make 3-4 colossi AND the army needed to back them up. Sure, you might not listen to me. But Harstem himself said better to have mass stalkers than colossi with few stalkers at 10:07.
The first mistake I saw was the location of the first pylon... This against terrans is an unacceptable mistake...
After watching the video, I also saw exactly what economic damage this brought to him... And it has a serious impact on the development of the game!
Indeed, in such situations, I choose not to have my pylon part of the wall!
In the sense when I know that a terran is on a spoke game, and not another race!
uThermal smurfing for youtube income is like paying him to attack and rob trick or treaters on halloween.
Never clicked so hard..shoutout to marc
just block the hit with your lips and strike while mike is confused, gg ez no re (run away quickly)
i dont think Harstem covered it but the guy has a 64% winrate in PvT
A 50/50? Something new!
ugh... every match is a real match. those that do not think so, looked down on that match.
Jazz is good. Kenny g son.
