I can’t get over the fact he dedicates half his army supply to phoenixes to make absolutely sure all those banshees are killed then he immediately flies the phoenixes over the thors, sacrificing all of them to kill like 1 of the 5 banshees. 99% sure dude literally just all army A-moved into the mech death ball and accordingly died
A masterpiece of literature and presented accordingly! Maybe there could be a series with just the poetical stories of Imbalance complaint forms. Some of them surely would make shakespear proud :D
Shakespeare would be proud. As Harstem stated in one of his previous vids, he enjoyed games of Starcraft II. Even based some of his plays on replays from SCII tournaments.
I haven't watched anything past the intro yet so I'll eat crow if I'm wrong here but at this point I feel like this series is more. "Kevin, here is a game of mine in which I failed & claim IMBA. PLEASE....explain why I suck." PS: I love this series.
I was just thinking "wait a sec, the Phoenix also can't lift massive units, right?"... and then the editor added a lovely reminder at the top with unit details. LOVE this. Keep this up, this is fantastic editing for your viewers. So damn interesting to have those in there, love, love, love! More of these, please! :) edit: omg, and there's "Trade info" as well. I love this series. NICE!
One of the gentlest, most genuinely helpful iiodis I've seen, I appreciate that you're harder on the GM's and give this diamond player a bit of a break. Even if he still sucks.
I think this guy thought he was playing the Legacy of the Meme mod for single player - turns whirlwind zealots into anti-air while whirlwind is active.
At 20:00 Harstem says Golozo's clawing his way back, but I think Golozo's already blown his chance with that DT harassment. Golozo needed to invest that APM and unit production time in scouting and preparing a counter for SaMsonOD's attack that moves out at 21:00. It's coming and Golozo doesn't know it, and it's going to put him on the back foot. He needed to seize the initiative while he had the chance and squandering his gas bank on that run-by wasn't enough.
Still waiting for the day someone sends him a replay where they're playing against a content creator doing a ridiculous challenge. Also, Happy birthday Captain!
I have an idea for the next season of Rank Roulette (which I hope is on the horizon). You could have one round where you just have the build order chart of each player, and try to guess from that what league they are in.
I think as a bonus round we're it's a 3 choice multiple choice would be a cool idea. It'd be three choices so there's no huge guess gaps because a bronze player knew their build orders.
This is an interesting concept... I am not sure how interesting it would be to only guess from the build order for the viewers, but maybe providing it as additional information could be interesting as well! And if it is on the horizon, no, absolutely not. It is way closer than the horizon already ;)
Happy birthday cap! Thanks to you and Hamster for doing these videos, I'm watching them for a few months now with the great pleasure, and are eagerly awaiting your 100k. All the best wishes -- loyal friends, lots of health and happiness!
"if you don't want to pay attention to your units, you should be playing zerg", seems like reynor hasn't flamed him enough when harstem sends in zergling runbys and forget about them.
Wait is that - no it can't be, can it??? 100K subs??? MY man! Congrats dude I'm not sure 100K people still play this game. You have the best SC content and I will still be here when you hit one million!
Kevin, he is playing perfect race for those who dont want to pay attention to their units. I cant believe you forgot everything you learned from Reynor and Lambo
yea I had to puase after that one his literally playing the a move race. the entire reason zerg only has one production structure is so that we have to focus on our unit more. so much so that our macro mechanic is literally a spell from the queen.
@@henningbreede6428 most protoss units benefit less from micro than most Terran and zerg units that's why it's the a move race. secondly it didn't say that zerg pays less attention to macro than the other races I said that they pay more attention to units that Horsham is implying since most of zergs macro mechanics literally revole qround a unit which is the queen. I'm sorry if you didn't understand becuase I will admit that my first comment was written poorly.
Building workers is too hard for player in the lower leagues? Seems that way ... I rarely see an IODIS, where the loosing player has 50 workers at the 6-minute-mark. This toss had 44 at 9:43 .... brrrrrrr.
12:42 are we in big enough number to kill enemies? yep - do we have energy to lift? yep - are we in danger of getting killed? nope - what do we do now guys? wave the retreating enemy good bye!
at 25:14 he basicly would have won the game if he fell back. at 25:20 he lost the game xD and thanks for the humble commentary Harstem :D very soft and metoring, nice ;)
Happy birthday Harstem! It’s my birthday today too and I always get loads of laughs from iodis and tons of insight from your harstemcasts channel. Even though I have nightmares of floating resources, I know one day we will have to micro our kids and be floating money while trying to counter a diaper rush
The Dramatic Reading of a compelling story made me feel deep sorrow for this Poor Defenseless Protoss. My heart goes out to him and I havent even watched the replay yet.
You know what planetaries can't do? Shoot up. I don't even play, just watch, and if I see a terran going mass planetary then I would go skytoss primarily. Thors? Tempest out range them. Stutter step with revelation with enough to one shot a thor each time.
Thors outrange tempest and going skytoss as response to planetaries is very stupid. Just listen to Harstem, he generally lists all or most of the viable options. It's really showing that you don't even play.
@@henningbreede6428 Which I stated! Never headed anyone mention that thors can shoot beyond their sightline, while it's often mentioned for tempests. So you know, it was a logical thought assuming all of the units have the same LoS.
Dear Harstem, you praised Macro Hatches in your other videos and Gateways are basically small Macro Hatches. So shouldn't an early Gateway be good a good thing? I hope you can explain why a small Macro Hatch was not a good idea in this game. With best regards -Mr.Bronze
Every time Harstem makes the Gateway rant, it's always about Gateways before Warpgate tech. After Warpgate he doesn't complain about them. Before Warpgate there's this awkward phase where starting a unit in a regular Gateway can actually be worse than just waiting for Warpgate to finish, because Warpgate is THAT much of an upgrade. This doesn't apply to builds that make two gateways immediately, before the Nexus, because those builds are intended to use both gateways for the entire time until Warpgate is ready. In this case the second gateway finished just barely fast enough to make one extra unit before Warpgates, which is...not a total waste, but still not very efficient. Making the 2nd Gateway a little later, and putting more effort into keeping the 1st Gateway busy more consistently, would have given this player the same size army while getting the Stargate up faster.
I got multiple brain aneurysms in last 10 minutes of replay. Thanks, Harstem and Golozo. Hopefully I won't die soon due to one of them rupturing. Adios.
Lets see: I am a complete noob. I mean: I do not play protoss and I play at silver - gold level. It is as noobish as I can imagine. I would like to throw in what I would do. If anything I say is dumb AF: Please correct me. 29:00 Okay. I see battlecruisers. I see they have 2/2. I have a lot of minerals, very little gas. My imediate reaction would be: Warp in a few zealots, add another cybernetics core, get 3 Stargates and upgrade air. The zealots I warped in would be to try and buy time so that he does not run over my base with BCs. The DTs I'd combine to archons for the meanwhile. 30:00 Now I would start my fleet beacon and produce a few voidrays. That would put me at about 1000 minerals and little to no gas compared to what he has right now. 30:26 These DTs would be zealots for me. Continue to harrass with zealot runbys and build more voids untill my fleet beacon is finished. Maybe add a 4th Stargate. 32:00 Now I would have 6 Voidrays and start Tempest production. Continueing zealot harrassment. Tech would be 2/1/2 Air now, starting 3/1/3. 33:30 At this point I would have: 5 Archons (from earlier) 6 Voids. 4-8 Tempests and a ton of zealots. With 3/1/3 Ground, 3/1/3 Air and still quite a bit of minerals. So that would actually work out as a switch. The idea I have here is: From my zealot harrassment I saw that he has a lot of tanks and thors with quite some BCs and a few ravens. So zealots should do well here against tanks and thors because there are no hellbats. Meanwhile the voids / tempests can deal with the BCs especially with a bit of splash from archons. It is quite A-movy of an army (mainly because I suck) but I think that would work. 35:00 Now terran moves out. So I would have 8 tempests guaranteed, probably would throw in 4 more voids instead of another 4 tempests. So my army would be: 5 Archons. 10 Voids. 8 Tempests. 15-20 zealots. With 3/1/3Ground 3/2/3Air [Oracles maybe, but then again: I suck. So I tend to leave out casters ... probably a reason behind my suckage. 2 Oracles could be fit in easily] That is what I would do. Just going from what is currently out there and the time and information that Goiozo had.
Like it how the analysis was more empathetic, to the point, and not so harsh...in some past IMBA videos there were comments like: you should't be playing this game. Harstem is getting older :))
Before watching the video I have to agree that Battlecruisers are OP. At some point they take litterally 0 damage from Carriers. And as a low league player I dont even know how I can counter them. I tried with Stalkers, but I cant kill them when they fly away or teleports all over the map. OP
Tempest will do like 60 damage versus massive. Get 5 and you two shot bcs. Get 10 and you one shot.They have huge range, farther than their vision, if you can get another unit provide vision you can poke and take out bcs from range. If they teleport on them use a nexus to recall them away. That's my advice.
Learn a build order and play normally - best advice you will ever get. Gateway expand into Blink is the safest PvT macro build & makes BC openers useless. If you actually need to make Tempests its a good indication your early game was complete @#$% and you could still lose.
@@hivetech4903 it might just be because I'm much better now, but I never felt like 2 gate blink gave me enough to deal with the mass BC shenanigans you encounter in the metal leagues, whereas teching into tempests (and I think techning into a counter to the opponent's build counts as normal) always tended to work. Once you get high up enough you stop seeing it any more, so it could have just been my execution haha
@@tomdabomb999 I maybe should've used the phrase opening standard instead of normal lol, i.e. standard Gate-expand and 6 Blink Stalkers is the best counter, shuts down the first BC which appears around 5 mins. They can't make another BC if they want to stay in the game, but yes I understand how in lower leagues they can get away with it because builds are so shonky.
26:12 Don't believe his lies
Lol
Golozo: "I've tried nothing and I'm all out of ideas!"
Happy birthday Harstem! To another year of malding over replays!
happy bday captain!
From Mee to happy birthday
Happy birthday Harstem, mon capitaine.
O Captain, My Captain have yourself a very happy birthday!!
Happy birthday big man
He should have played zerg. Zergling would leap up and chew on his battlecruisers
Evolution complete!
That’s incorrect, the right unit is swarm host, because locusts can fly.
Just destroy the battlecruisers, then they will fall down, right on the zealots' blades
I like how the toss is behind 50 supply after 8 minutes in a game where nothing happens lol
Harstem: make sure you control your DTs
Uncontrolled DTs: kills 41 workers in 30 seconds
those were like 20 dts. 2 scvs each is not wow.
@@LiviuGelea the loss was 18 supply, so 9 DTs
i mean, zealots would have done just as well if not better, which is what Harstem was saying.
I can’t get over the fact he dedicates half his army supply to phoenixes to make absolutely sure all those banshees are killed then he immediately flies the phoenixes over the thors, sacrificing all of them to kill like 1 of the 5 banshees.
99% sure dude literally just all army A-moved into the mech death ball and accordingly died
the dramatic reading of the complaint form was actual top tier content, i was in tears
A masterpiece of literature and presented accordingly! Maybe there could be a series with just the poetical stories of Imbalance complaint forms. Some of them surely would make shakespear proud :D
A slow dramatic reading with some piano in the background x)
Shakespeare would be proud. As Harstem stated in one of his previous vids, he enjoyed games of Starcraft II. Even based some of his plays on replays from SCII tournaments.
If he thinks PF was the issue, Tempests have no problems with PFs. So the only answer against all his questions at the same time was Tempests.
You need some forward vision for that to work but he had none
@@vinniechan Actually tempest can fly directly over a PF and still kill it.
27 minutes in and he just fought the first pf only to melt it at little to no cost.
Idk what the person sending the complaint was on
I haven't watched anything past the intro yet so I'll eat crow if I'm wrong here but at this point I feel like this series is more. "Kevin, here is a game of mine in which I failed & claim IMBA. PLEASE....explain why I suck."

Happy Birthday!
As always, awesome content, good analysis, I enjoyed every second of it.
I wish the 100k subscribers hit as fast as possible :)
Damn this guy is almost up there with the guy who sent a rap complaint.
Wait is that - no it can't be, can it??? 100K subs??? MY man! Congrats dude I'm not sure 100K people still play this game. You have the best SC content and I will still be here when you hit one million!
Terran has like more than double APM in this match.
Kevin, it would be really nice to take that into consideration in these IMBA matches.
Dang this guy had the best balance complaint intro ever... Happy birthday Harstem!
28:17 Did not expect that irl advice
Welcome back. Happy birthday.
Happy Birthday Captain! Thanks for all the laughs and great sc2 content! Hope you have a great one!
The fact that the game didnt end at 10 minutes should make terran send a balance compaint form lol
Happy Birthday Harstem! Thank you for all the laughs and great content, I'll be here enjoying the laughs and great content throughout the future!
Love your videos, happy birthday and thank you for all you do.
Happy birthday Kevin. I do not see him having a planetary issue. His decision making sucks
Happy Birthday from Western US, Kevin! Keep up the awesome casting!
Your reading of the complaint form was epic. As usual, I haven't even gotten to the game yet, and I have to like and comment.
Happy birthday Harstem! I don't play SC but I still enjoy your vids
That end was awesome! If bonking your head against a tree doesn't get rid of the tree, just try 5 more times!
Happy birthday! I hope you make it to 100k subs very soon!
Complains about Terran static defense; doesn't use Super Battery.
Kevin, he is playing perfect race for those who dont want to pay attention to their units.
I cant believe you forgot everything you learned from Reynor and Lambo
yea I had to puase after that one his literally playing the a move race.
the entire reason zerg only has one production structure is so that we have to focus on our unit more.
so much so that our macro mechanic is literally a spell from the queen.
@@creeperkingdom3190 Zerg generally pays the most attention to macro and your "a-move race" comment sounds like a low league complaint.

I'm sorry if you didn't understand becuase I will admit that my first comment was written poorly.
Countless years of evolution and zealots are still being used against BC's
After watching all these IODIS videos I feel like one of main advices would be: don't be shy to retreat
Building workers is too hard for player in the lower leagues? Seems that way ... I rarely see an IODIS, where the loosing player has 50 workers at the 6-minute-mark. This toss had 44 at 9:43 .... brrrrrrr.

Tempest have 14 range vs Air but only 10 vs ground
SO CLOSE TO 100K SUBS AAAAH
Happy Birthday Kevin
Sorry Professor Harstem, you read that wrong: They said "Im glad the prof is out now", that means they are referring to you as a teacher!
That man has a powerful tool, called sky toss, and he is unwilling to push it. What a legend!
Planetaries are OP indeed, every zerg knows that.
I've missed it, but Congratulations on hitting the 100k subs! 🥳
this jump in the beginning to minute 3 of the match was kind of overwhelming. How shall we recognize the shittiness in his BO?
Gefeliciteerd Koning Kevin
I am Dutch but sadly was too late to cover my ears. Completely shocked that the orange color in SC2 is not to support the national football team 😱
This protoss DID remember their upgrades, though. Good job!
Actually, wounded zealots evolve into dragoons but it didn't work because that unit wasn't available in this game.
Happy birthday kevin! 🥺❤️❤️❤️
Harstem: You should control your 9 DTs way better, that control sucks
41 dead scv: Am I joke to you?

Okay. I see battlecruisers. I see they have 2/2. I have a lot of minerals, very little gas.

The zealots I warped in would be to try and buy time so that he does not run over my base with BCs. The DTs I'd combine to archons for the meanwhile.

Now I would start my fleet beacon and produce a few voidrays. That would put me at about 1000 minerals and little to no gas compared to what he has right now.
30:26
These DTs would be zealots for me. Continue to harrass with zealot runbys and build more voids untill my fleet beacon is finished. Maybe add a 4th Stargate.
32:00 Now I would have 6 Voidrays and start Tempest production. Continueing zealot harrassment. Tech would be 2/1/2 Air now, starting 3/1/3.
33:30 At this point I would have:
5 Archons (from earlier) 6 Voids. 4-8 Tempests and a ton of zealots. With 3/1/3 Ground, 3/1/3 Air and still quite a bit of minerals.
So that would actually work out as a switch.
The idea I have here is: From my zealot harrassment I saw that he has a lot of tanks and thors with quite some BCs and a few ravens. So zealots should do well here against tanks and thors because there are no hellbats. Meanwhile the voids / tempests can deal with the BCs especially with a bit of splash from archons.

35:00 Now terran moves out. So I would have 8 tempests guaranteed, probably would throw in 4 more voids instead of another 4 tempests. So my army would be:
5 Archons. 10 Voids. 8 Tempests. 15-20 zealots. With 3/1/3Ground 3/2/3Air
[Oracles maybe, but then again: I suck. So I tend to leave out casters ... probably a reason behind my suckage. 2 Oracles could be fit in easily]
That is what I would do. Just going from what is currently out there and the time and information that Goiozo had.
