you guys got printf the legend. Something I love about Rank Roulette is that you guys bring the whole SC2 community together, Players, Streamers, Casters, Pro's it's really awesome.
Adding a really inspiring comment about how us protoss look up to and respect Printf which simultaneously boosts this video's rank in the algorithm and earns brownie points with readers.
There’s never not going to be euro hate on the US, it’s chummy like picking on the little brother who grew too tall. Maybe they’ll start paying more for nato soon? Netherlands definitely not 😂
i am na diamond 1 and went to europe and diamond and master in europe are a lot worse than NA, i got master 2 easily, . something i havent been able to do in NA. GM is a lot better in europe but normal players are a lot worse. kinda backwards with korea, where a diamond in korea is masters in both na and eu.
I guessed D1 on the last game. I think they let the tunneling claws get to their heads. One guy was so terrified of mutas they build spores everywhere before needing them, I think they didnt factor that in at the end. That alone put it below masters for me, and roach vs roach is super easy to micro.
Yeah I actually guessed diamond 2 pretty confidently, they tried a lot of micro like stutter stepping and ravager morphing but messed it up half the time and blead dps, whereas a GM wouldn't mess it up nearly that much, also the worker counts were terrible for a GM level mid to late game and they were still floating a lot, the 1 harass with the burrowed roaches they even ran through their army and detection and got hit a bunch going to the main, at Diamond players can harass, have comps that make sense and macro ok, idk how harstem thought this was GM lol, his zerg is low GM himself and this was much worse than him
You ever think about determining the playoffs by how much the contestant beats or loses to Harstem by instead of absolute score? It could help smooth out some of the randomness since some clips are just harder to guess than others
Just uploaded one of my games that was an experiment/practice. Learned a lot from watching Harsteem think out his games on the fly, Winter as well with his casting and uthermal with unconventional approaches even though i will never be anywhere close to that level I admire the skills and love the game. Would be excited to see the commentary on this game. Enjoy!!
As a diamond 2, that was just what i do as well, but i also focus fire (a rarity Harstem have never seen) :D Comment about triggers: What triggers me is when terrans mule the gold, just shows they have no clue. Just as protosses activating Void rays against the wrong targets, like hydras :D
I have to be honest. The last game was hard to guess. I would have guessed diamond 1 though. But I think, that diamond was still fair and no smurf. To add things, I would have been way higher overall in points.
the difference between gm and high diamond is consistensy, as a diamond i have beaten gms, i cant do it every day or every game but we can do it. in diamond they do execute perfect build orders and those sometimes with minimal micro can kill everyone.
I just went self cast Comet, it aint as fast, but it actualy clear quite fast. i group monsters up and wall them in and self cast a komet, got cascade and spell echo linked to it. And eye of winter with pierce, arcane tempo and soul drain. Tho soul drain i might swap for more dmg. i am current sitting at end of act 6 and doing fine. Takes some times to get used to. running with 1700 mana and archmage. Testing mindover matter at the moment, thats a little painful but saved me from oneshots if i kite too much. So it aint completely bricked and it clear zones fast enough to atleast farm gold for a full respec.
I guessed D2 on the last game, bc I'm a D2 zerg on Na and it looked like one of my typical games I would lose trying to get lurkers against a good roach player.
I like how the roach v roach caught Harstem off guard so hard he requested to check, while he and Reynor got scammed way harder in their episode lol Good guesses on both players discounting that last game tho
I'm getting like, 0 points on most of these. Maybe 1 at most. Yeah, the Diamond 2 game I got a 0 on as well. I used to play at that League, but they were definitely worse than when I played but that still aligns with my overall opinion that the ladder has gotten worse over time, not better.

Southern Netherlands well known for their plethora of handsome Starcraft players, it's truly a compliment to be 17th among them.

0:50 "Never expand Never Surrender" Printf T-shirt lol perfect.
Harstem sees 1 decent move on the US server: MUST BE GRANDMASTER!! always loolll
26:37 - For all those that want a highfive by the captain.
Pros being shocked by how competitive the NA Diamond leagues are triggers me.
nah we suck let's not cope
Yeah same. I’m in diamond and me and many of my opponents attack multiple places at once lol

@@patrickmiller6236 grew tall maybe, but still shorter than big bro

My logic for d1 too. Couldnt believe the GM vote xD

It’s fun to see Harstem trip so hard over my game 😎. Hard-stuck is an apt description as well, ouch
You just ranked up, brother, its your time, road to rank 1 here we go
Bro, I've been D2 since 2012.
It's funny. I pegged your game to a T. I would at most have had 1 point this episode.
NA stunning the pros once again, too easy
Wow Printf's method is insane!
the “cheesiest man alive” met the cheesiest man alive and even he was shocked
On game 4 they did not notice how the players were consistently floating minerals
This is like the best show on television no?

Diamond League is pretty ok on na idk what to say
You gotta invite MaximusBlack.
That D2 guy is gonna have a blast listening to the compliments from these two, Master league bro, you have to get it !!!
20:47 damn that moving protoss flag at printf's back made me trip
im mostly a printf fan but this harstem guy is pretty cool too
Omg printf!!!
No longer just guessing in the comments
0/2/0/2
I expected the last game to be master3, but gm was a crazy guess xD

Thanks for the great games! Love the series!
I got 3 points, I can finally say that I beat harstem at something hehehe
Hello from Bakersfield California
As a diamond 2, that was just what i do as well, but i also focus fire (a rarity Harstem have never seen) :D
Comment about triggers: What triggers me is when terrans mule the gold, just shows they have no clue. Just as protosses activating Void rays against the wrong targets, like hydras :D
Does printf have a youtube channel? I rly want so see more games of him
Yes, he created a number of videos under QuasarGamers. A series of minute micro teaching videos.
He also streams live every Saturday afternoon on Twitch
Those exactly the glasses I would expect printf to wear
I have to be honest. The last game was hard to guess. I would have guessed diamond 1 though. But I think, that diamond was still fair and no smurf.
To add things, I would have been way higher overall in points.

love u harstem
I just went self cast Comet, it aint as fast, but it actualy clear quite fast.
i group monsters up and wall them in and self cast a komet, got cascade and spell echo linked to it.
And eye of winter with pierce, arcane tempo and soul drain. Tho soul drain i might swap for more dmg.

I guessed D2 on the last game, bc I'm a D2 zerg on Na and it looked like one of my typical games I would lose trying to get lurkers against a good roach player.
I got 4 points this time.
I have to say, there have been huge differeces between na and eu in the last rank Roulette seasons, but not this time
I must be traumatized by UpATree, that whenever I see a Terran on Rank Roulette I think its Sal...
You put the guest as reynor
i've always assumed hamster is harstem's little brother
WOW i actually finished this one with 1 point!
I'm into this.
I like how the roach v roach caught Harstem off guard so hard he requested to check, while he and Reynor got scammed way harder in their episode lol
Good guesses on both players discounting that last game tho
I got 5 points. That last one got me. I had two 0's.
Is it really fair to add the Masters 1 league penalty point for Harstem if the league does not exist on North America?
No one tell him his math is wrong. He’s actually worse than before. The scoring system changed.
I'm getting like, 0 points on most of these. Maybe 1 at most. Yeah, the Diamond 2 game I got a 0 on as well. I used to play at that League, but they were definitely worse than when I played but that still aligns with my overall opinion that the ladder has gotten worse over time, not better.
love this thing
I'm Plat 2... is that how bad we look on camera!?
This was my best run ever, only got 1 point
sound quality from the early SC2 days/
ZvZ is easy enough that you look very good at diamond 1
I bet they would think my silver games are high diamond also
Wow
I hate cannon rush but printf is too likeable
Now I have C flash backs I hate printf / I mean the C version not the player
the sound quality of printf is 🤮
