31:01 Harstem saying "I'm out of scans" as he looks at a nearly full energy Orbital that isn't in his hotkey is hilarious. You just know he'd have made fun of if it if this was an IODIS submission :P
Beating grandmaster with stupid stuff, send a bunch of nukes into the corner of the map so your opponent gets really confused every time he hears the nuclear missile warning but then doesn't see a nuke, then after like 10 times, just nuke like 3 of his bases at once
this is a fantastic idea. the anxiety would be insane. but he has to start by landing at least 1 nuke on the opponent, so the guy knows the threat is real
After the ‘missed’ nukes land offscreen doing 0 damage, have the ghost immediately poke the nearest building or a worker so that he gets the attack warning. Should amplify the confusion even more
@@Cawfeesomething hopefully hamster sees this and suggests harstem do it. the more comments and upvotes it gets, the higher the chances that it'll happen!
Going on creep there was definitely a balsy move... but.while terrran may not have recall; you did have a crapton of medivacs over those ghosts as the ling surround came in, and they have this cool pickup ability...
The real reason for the loss is no neosteel upgrade for planetaries. With extra 2 armour, lings would not kill Harstems income so fast and he would have much more ghosts
well yeah, I'd rather have him properly emp infestors before trying to snipe anything. Also he could fungaled even after emp-ing the infestor - because it doesn't take all energy (like feedback does)
44:30 Interesting stuff! If you do mines instead of tanks that could be cool. Seems like they could help slow down run-bys more cost efficiently. Overseers have so much HP but 2 snipes still take them out. Zerg nightmare if your whole main army suddenly cloaks! I know this isn't a pro move, but since you have free supply anyway bunkers might work. Rally some cheap marines in early, and you could even stash your newly minted Ghosts later, removing them when you have time to join them with your main army.
love how harstem was massing the 2 units that counter the lurker (ghost and tank) and the zerg still decides to go lurker, just shows how good the unit is in the matchup
Hey Harstem, love your videos been watching them for years now. It's what got me into playing StarCraft at all. Eventually I got into doing some ranked stuff were I peaked just above gold (very much just from suck, no imba). Anyways, you likely will not see this but I ended up finding some other SC2 content creators and feel like there might be some interesting things you might be able to get into with Giant Grant Games. If you haven't heard him he is big into Speedruns and challenge runs for SC2 and other RTS. I'm not big brain enough to think of the perfect synergy there, but I feel like the two of you would be able to make some killer stuff like the things you've done with UpATreeZelda
I think I would die inside if I matched with Harstem in the queue. How do you prepare for someone who'll literally build anything and everything hahaha. Lovely video as always (:
Harstem, that sound you made at 13:50 as your pushing to get the reaper out, I totally lost my shit.....LOL. Good work on the save. Thanks for the good old belly laugh 🤣
Ghost in Starcraft Broodwar was the strongest unit in the game if used in Mass. It had good damage but what really made it the strongest was the range.
ill just go ahead and say it , its really nice to see that you dont only post the games where you win. most poeple do that but loses are still content and not always bad content.
harmstem the reason why you make this noise is because you want the outcome to be different then reality. it is expressed in the body as tension. some people can get rid of it easy but it can also result in anxiety. you can not only get rid of tension with meditation but also get a mindset where you accept everything as it is and not even build tension. but this is just theorie we always will encounter new stuff. gl hf in life m8
thinking of the 2nd game, during his push, would a counter of sending a medivac with 4 ghosts to drop nukes in the main base to kill off spawning pool, bane nest or whatever be feasible?
The last match was a close one but when you stopped producing tanks you stopped trading favorably, it was a sick match and it would have been even sicker if you would have sniped his detection and let your opponent blind, it was so risky to do that when he had lost of bains but later on it was a good opportunity.
if you ever do this again and the opponent makes infestors u have to try to make a small hit squad of ghost try to emp them before u walk into creep i think, u seemed to have been blasting him up until the point where u started getting fungled left and right
Definately redo, I don't think it's wrong to start out the game with a really strong build so you can get into ghosts like was the problem in the first game but the problem is accidentally winning before crushing their dreams with ghosts.
young people fall for timeshares, too. i have been to time share presentations and the young families are the ones who get the most excited while me and my wife are just there for the free stuff and agree not to get hooked before walking in
@@henningbreede6428 observers, mothership-cloaked units, stasis wards? I guess can think of it that tumor counts as burrowed kinda, and emp does not reveal burrowed
I did some mass ghost not long ago because I realized I never ever build ghosts in match 🤣 and I needed to get used to their abilities. I didn't have to deal with the massive runbys you did, but interesting solution with all the extra CCs. Ever since, I now occasionally use Ghosts, but not enough, so the effort was not in vain.

That was driving me crazy, so many medivacs and only like once did he pick any ghosts up
@@Teferi66 he was role-playing them as kerrigan
You guys whining are probly gold silver max 😂
@@mightymcbeast3594 That's about the level of skill Harstem expressed that move to fit with.
@@Sunless1337 except he's GM and you aren't so 🤷🏻♂️

That's some blizzard forum level comment.
Needed ghost bunkers to wall
25:49 always cloak your ghost before you put them in the medivac Harstem
Rookie move
there is also a disarm option which is even more important
I wish Harstem pick up those ghosts with medivac, then it might have been a different game
well yeah, I'd rather have him properly emp infestors before trying to snipe anything. Also he could fungaled even after emp-ing the infestor - because it doesn't take all energy (like feedback does)
Game 1: I think I have a build order.
Game 2: None of it sounds very good.
The Harstem experience XD

Painful watching all your ghosts just die instead of picking them up with the 18 medivacs right there ?!? =(
Even his mom calls him Harstem. The only time he gets called Kevin is when he talks to himself.
no way
timestamp?
39:21 reality
Ghosts are good... but the range attack of those lurkers = snipe LoL
Harstem, that sound you made at 13:50 as your pushing to get the reaper out, I totally lost my shit.....LOL. Good work on the save. Thanks for the good old belly laugh 🤣
I find all of his commentary really entertaining. It follows that fine line of ridiculousness and calmness.
There is a pervasive fatalistic vein running through Harstem's life lessons. The hallmark of a true warrior.
“It really doesn’t look that bad”
Well if you close your eyes 😉
This was my favorite episode so far. The third game was so much fun to watch.
Ghost in Starcraft Broodwar was the strongest unit in the game if used in Mass. It had good damage but what really made it the strongest was the range.
Yah, mass ghost in broodwar if you could get to it was crazy
They also had the lockdwon ability which was also crazy
25:00 We've noticed 🤣 your voice goes down to a hushed whisper when you're doing something tricky. Love it!
ill just go ahead and say it , its really nice to see that you dont only post the games where you win. most poeple do that but loses are still content and not always bad content.
Idea:
Play whatever you want and however you want, but you have to tell your opponent your strategy and timings
Haha!
"Hello, this is harstem. My viewers said I have to tell you my build and timings. Here ya go. (Etc) also my stream is (url) Please watch along."
He said he wouldn't do anything that requires typing in chat.
"Drones by themselves are not actually good"
GGG in the background:
Hahahahaha "he threw a gg before I left too, so that's a double win for him!" Hahahaha brilliant
As a toss and Zerg player, watching mass ghost doesn’t feel stupid, it feels imba lol.
03:05 that semi-Dutch bit killed me. Keep it Roffa.
That was a sick game at the end lol. Snipes are my favorite spell I think
I love that you took BGWSS to the other races, let the fun continue!
HARSTEM i SUGGESTED _this VIDEO about 4 or 5 days AGO thankyou for DOING IT!!!! :D
greetz from germany UA-cam to you!
Harstem transforming everything into a planetary - 5 minutes later "Why don't I have any scans available?" (and something I don't want to repeat here)
Baaaaaahahahaha.. I had to laugh at that comment. "tanks have been disappointing me, because they don't burrow instantly" Priceless!
Week 3 of asking Harstem to harass enemy workers with Collossi
13:50 ngl I clenched a bit watching that reaper

"Solo operative right?" 35:16
Bad news for this guy
You may not have won the game, but you won my heart Harstem.
Thoughts on that first game: getting an armory for hellbats would have made a world of difference.
The ghost screams sound terrifying.
2:30 I was just noticing this myself! The Ghost Academy being cheap, not the timeshare stuff...
Now THIS is stupid stuff 💜 good stuff Harstem!!
thinking of the 2nd game, during his push, would a counter of sending a medivac with 4 ghosts to drop nukes in the main base to kill off spawning pool, bane nest or whatever be feasible?
As soon as you hit 30 your APM starts to go down 40-50% every year. So get it to like, 5000 while you can.
You're a content MACHINE!
Awesome gameplay and personality, great entertainment.
Is there any way we can have this again with a Hamster "NukeCam™️"?

mass sentries next :D
Medoed-HAS nation wars 2019)))) xD
Ghost academies have to be reasonably cheap in order to encourage building multiple for nuke storage.
Can someone explain why not got for hellbats. Just spit when bangs come because they can deal with lings just fine and ghost with everything else
You should do a bgmwss where you slow push and build supply depot walls (the easiest wall) wherever you push too
bgwss idea: mass baneling drops and runby's. no attacking, only baneling counterattacks. lets see them workers explodeeee
try ghost bc vs zerg like someone did to you in your Zerg series.
snipe queens very early and then bc into gg!
32:30 OK, Arcturus
Good try, Harstem, it was close!
As a creature of the sea, I disapprove of this video.
"Trying is a first step to failure"
some high quality shift-nukes in this game
in the first and last game I was wondering, why no blueflame?
if you ever do this again and the opponent makes infestors u have to try to make a small hit squad of ghost try to emp them before u walk into creep i think, u seemed to have been blasting him up until the point where u started getting fungled left and right
was not getting 3 3 part of the build?
When we're 75 let's all go on a busrize! Watch some sc2.. buy a time-share.. eat some kickjar with smokesausage!
These Videos make me afraid to ladder. dont wanna end up on another one of these
Harstem plays in professional tournaments as protoss, off-races terran to GM, yet has his enemies in "his little claws." What does this mean?
Harstem is sus, definitely the changeling
cant believe you nearly won with mass ghost without rapidfire snipe binded :D
0:00 LOVE off-race stupid stuff!!

Another great video in the best starcraft series !
I can't wait to find out if ghosts are truly IMBA
Holy shoot you upload often
How does harstem keep forgetting the unit names?
So many ghosts ... Can you emp a creep tumor to uncloak it? xDDDD
No, only works vs banshees, other ghosts and dts.
@@henningbreede6428 observers, mothership-cloaked units, stasis wards?
I guess can think of it that tumor counts as burrowed kinda, and emp does not reveal burrowed
Harstem is a good boi.
I hope he does this again, but with medivac micro. So many Ghosts coulda been saved if medivacs took em up.
"solo operative right?"
Nah fam.
18:45 REPAIR YOUR FKN HELLION DUDE, HOLY $HIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy how similar Dutch and English are
ggs this was a fun strat
Why not get blue flame hellion? The only unit he had in his army that is not light is the baneling (early game). Imo blue flame is so strong...
its not stupid stuff, its ruffcraft!
do mass command center/planetary next
Viking hellbat/car only!!
Mass tank + viking next
avarage twitch chat gm here: try nuking 2-3 places at once, maybe even 3-5 (with medivacs)
How many times will Harstem say he needs rapid fire and then not set it up for the next game...
delusions i am in god position u did not attack
Incredible how poor the control was in this game. Maybe concentration was low for this one.

Might as well upload these vids in 240p.
Why tryhard with the low settings when making youtube videos?
I can't watch this I'm afraid of ghosts. To spooky for me.
codebar says hello
noob question: i know EMP reveals cloaked units, but does it also reveal burrowed units?
"I'm not old"
How come you only got 3 nuclear silos, and you never tried to nuke his army.
"Solo operative, right?"
Nice video
