  • Guys and gals. Today's episode is NOT for people with a weak heart since this imbalance complaint will skyrocket your bloodpressure! But don't worry, we dutch people have some ways to calm you back down again, so stick around til the very end for that! Also I heard that smashing that like and subscribe buttons is a very healthy thing to do!

      Harstem would have had a way to verify that this wasn't some elaborate troll, via the replay tools that he uses by checking player actions, so this can't be it.
      It could be that this game was between two friends who "arranged" certain developments and outcomes.
      It could also be that the Protoss intentionally played horribly so that he could get his point across.
      It could also be that Harstem knew perfectly well that this game was going to be a complete disaster, but decided to show it anyway, as it would have been good humor as well as a good exercise in rage & meditation. PLUS the IODIS rubric was in somewhat of a drought recently, so he compensated for that with a really, really long video to sate the audience's thirst for it.

      Well, like he said "I built stalkers"... I guess, when his friends told him to build stalkers they didn't specify how many.

    • @glowyboi7175
      @glowyboi7175 Před 3 lety

      ? That is actually normal for professional play. Blink is the safest opener to counter all forms of harass and give map control. You do not want to build many Stalkers after the early game, maybe later if you transition into Stalker/Disruptor.

  • @Shane2020xxx
    @Shane2020xxx Před 2 lety +1

    The true joy isn't watching the Protoss get punching bagged by the Terran (although that is delightful too.) It's watching Harstem's Sanity Meter enduring similar devastating blows. Peak might be at 24:49 "Ok! I still have 18 workers, my priority is to split them to-" ::probe explodes in a 1shot volley to the Siege Tank left behind to guard the minerals:: ::Harstem's face looks visually hurt like he got punched right in the kidney.:: You can almost see Harstem thinking "Well, there's a second probe coming, I can at least hope against hope that he'll pull it back so it, too, doesn't explode in 1 shot during this critical worker situation." BOOM 2. 😣

    got recommended this vid from 2 years ago, at first i noticed the contrast in quality compared to his recent vids and thought it'd be a weak and long vid, but the vid gets progressively better as Harstem slowly starts to get insane at the "sad" level of gameplay he's witnessing.
    watching it to the end was 100% worth it

  • @jeremysawa7075

    I had intense moments of hysterical laughter. I consider myself a pretty poor pvp player. I'm more of an achievement hunter. I've learned build orders and abused AI, performing outmatched AI crushers and every campaign achievement, and can execute brutal co op with random strangers with better knowledge and control than Harstem has shown of late with Dehaka and upatree. Still, I hit platinum back in late liberty, early heart of the swarm days, and would figure I'm a solid silver by today's merits- but I KNOW I would be able to play a better protoss or terran than that. I rarely scout, my creep spread is so so, i never inject past 5 minutes into the game, and build macro hatcheries instead, and have an average apm of 40-50, and I would love the chance to play a serious game against either of those two players to show I would win it. please comment back with some kind of discord or battletag id so we can communicate and setup a garbage league game of our own that hopefully harstem would comment about.

      I guess the making lots of workers thing can get you somewhere. In Silver/Bronze he probably faced people who just had less workers than him and didn't scan vs DTs and such. It's painful to watch someone make so many Probes and nearly no army though.
