@@duderzguy1236 lol, it's the highest liked comment on the video "underrated"
the word underrated has been raped of all meaning.. like epic and literally before it, its soul has been lost to the darkest depths of the internet
i'm an asshole, by the way
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become printf.
sorry for the echoey sound. I am getting some things to fix that in the upcoming days, but moving been stressful for me and it kinda slipped my mind.
Should gradually improve over the enxt 7 days or so. Thank you for your patience
no problem we all likeyou sufficiently kevin 👍
Congrats man hope the new place is great
Honestly it doesn't really sound echoey to me.
it is ok harstem, i will forgive you this time. your in real life build order needs work
Video was great as always! The kind of top level content I expect from the best sc2 youtuber
I hope this is the beginning of a long series where you finally reach rank 1
It would be hilarious if he reaches rank 1 with his cheese account.
One of his videos a while back the cowboy account surpassed his main account, while he was doing a bunch of beating GM with stupid stuff haha
great...now the ladder will be full of protoss cannon-rushing
oh wait...
At what point was there ever no cannon rushing?
cheeses are one of the main reason i dont want to get involved with laddering again
"New house new me" -- Harstem enters his dark timeline.
What lifehack:
'If you feel like you're too afraid of do things, you just pretend like you're someone that actually have balls' so wise lol
"Then I realized, that is something that the old Kevin would have said. I'm a better person now, so I'm gonna go get a DARK SHRINE"
23:44
“I’m a better person now, so I’m gonna get a dark shrine”
Hahahaha I lost it there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"What would low skill players do"
Answer: after the void ray rush fails and dt rush fails, get both corner bases, hide behind a million cannons and batteries and start spamming carriers.
Definitely found out through research and not because I'm a low skilled player or anything
Can confirm.
Also definitely because of research and not being a low skill player
Also can confirm. Also definitely because of research (read: played against it)
Can confirm low skilled players, using static defence ;)
Can confirm. Because of low skill #lowskilllove
I feel personally attacked by this comment
"Im a better person now so I'm gonna get a dark shrine" LOL
I love that at every level of this game, there is both hatred and disrespect for cannon rushers.
Oooh this seems like a super fun series
Harstem, the inventor of the flanking Voidray. Wow.
"welcome back to a new series..."
WHAAAOOOOOOO!!!! COOL
New Year, new series. In June.
you sound now actually 100% better! finally the basses aren't breaking my table apart
YESSSSSSS! I've wanted Harstem to do this for so long. I feel like this is the missing part of his game and has been for awhile. A bit of unpredictable aggression will make him much scarier to play against. His transformation into PartinG is well underway.
You gotta flip the camera image captain; having you look at the game would be so much less distracting than having you stare off screen.
I'm a simple man: I see cannon rush - I like!
Chrono nexus right away, build pylon exactly at 100 minerals in position to full wall, rally 15th probe to pylon, make forge, try and get a 3 pylon wall close to their minerals, leaving a 2x1 gap in the middle pylon. If that pylon goes down leave room to make an additional pylon behind it. Enjoy the free mmr. TIP: If a probe is chasing your probe, hit stop really quick and let it hit you once then keep moving to gain space from the chasing probe
Your opponent's Artosis-pylon though.. 7:13
It doesn't really matter which building he targets because the shield battery will heal it anyway.
@@chaoxyz8183 ..and lose all its power before the enemy cavalry arrives...?
Ok Harstem, here's how you follow up if the cannon rush fails. Make some dice, and put various concepts for BGMWSS on the sides. If the cannon rush doesn't score the kill, then do the following:
Step one: Grab the dice
Step two: Roll the dice
Step three: Obey the dice
Imagine the shonen guys
Harstem starts cannon rushing and playing low skill builds for a youtube video, realizes he is the best at it and becomes the next Has!
@2:45 your probe that is allowed to live is unreal to me. Like Winter says, "Kill the probe, kill the probelem."
Harsteem singing Englishman in New York made my day. Pure gold
"New house, new me. So I started cannon rushing."
That is the funniest thing I've heard in months.
I want you to keep making series that will also make you a better player. I want to you eventually be able to make a "Beating Serral with stupid sutff" series.
Canons, beer and balls of steel. That’s how’s supposed to be.
"Also people who prefer my right side will be happy"
Anybody else feel like we should send Harstem some stuff to decorate the room? Kinda feels like he's playing in the laundry room right now. And Harstem deserves better!
I love it!! Harstem you need to make this a series. Definitely a high test way to play the game
Harstem, the Bob Ross of Starcraft.
made my day
I think we just saw Harstem's super villain origin story.
This is Great! 4 Minute games mean you are getting to Rank 1 all that much faster!
Harstem, also try throwing in a Tempest rush or two in this series. Try out different styles to complement your cannon rushes
I like this series, I think you can definitely learn some new strats you can bust out in tournaments. I laughed at the casters being so amazed, at all the hallucinations you made in the esl's, from bgmss.
@@yurimiyama9825 he did some against showtime in the best of 5. I know I saw him use hallucinations in a few other games as well can't recall which ones though.
I really want friends such as Lowko and Harstem. One that is always nice and buy me drinks, and another that is totally toxic and always make fun of me.
I'm so glad you made it out of that cave.
Exciting times moving into a new place Kevin! :) I'm excited for you to make this space completely your own
A series with cannon-rushes sounds AWESOME! And i'm a freaking zerg player!!!
If you could combine the craziness of Has with the skills of Harstem, I think it would go far.
Getting an episode of this once a week would be awesome
When I am Protoss I admit I do have a little bit of a cheese build.. Its a proxie 2 Oracle that goes into a proxie base+void ray+Oracle attack. I almost always keep my first two oracles alive and have them for the second hit that has void rays with them. ( Tends to be 4 voids if I felt I did enough damage, otherwise its 2 ) I know it sounds odd to proxie base but its due to how I build the proxie structures. Its rare that this gets spotted since most people do not even think of someone doing it.
If someone spots it, depending on when. I will give it up and go into something else. Often more of a traditional setup. Though I prefer skytoss when I play. Yes if the enemy survives the oracle + voids I will go into a Void+tempest+carrier build. I will sometimes keep oracles for detection. I almost never build a robotics bay when I do this.. ( I do build one sometimes for observers though. I just tend to like using oracles. Its been that way since they where added. basically. )
Keep in mind I am a random player.. An aggressive random player. Though I have lost my footing when it comes to Terran these days.. It used to be reaper hit into MM+ Reaper hit into MMM drop + reaper hits. I almost always kept my reapers alive. Now.. I am not sure why but I cant seem to go back into that mode with Terran. I did adopt a strange style for a while as Terran due to it that goes for the long game.. But then I eventually started doing a psudo sky Terran for a while.. Now I do a mech style.. But I never feel great about it.
Zerg is currently my strongest.. I prefer using muta but due to zerg flexability I adapt quickly to what I see my enemy doing. Most of the time when my muta's hit the game is done. But I sometimes do not go that way and the game lasts until the ultras come out or the lurkers or Swarm hosts depending. ( I have oddly won a few games with just going ground forces only.. I could not shoot air.. It was funny. Maxed lings+banes+Ultras just chewing the structures and ground units up. The enemy went air but just could not do enough damage to counter how fast their structures where going. ) I have also done queen only. Something that when I have I get hate.. Partially because of the healing..
I am a random player so due to that some openings from other players do not occur. It also tends to provoke early scouting. Something I am fine with as I scout early as well. I have to be able to play at a specific level at least with each race.. I am just currently struggling as Terran.. Partially due to surgeries I have had ( I am not as quick as I used to be with this game. Its also partially why my Zerg game is actually not as strong as it used to be.. But once in a while I am able to play them like I used to.. and in 2v2 I tend to beat both enemies by myself with the mutas.. Hitting two bases at once. two groups of 6 mutas.. That will grow into more as time goes on. I would expand and get more drones behind that, Same with tech. If my team member supplies me with resources its even faster. 1v1s I still tend to end the game quickly when I get mutas out. Most people can not handle the mineral line harass I am often able to do with them. At least so far.. and I say MOST* not all. )
getting into the mindset of an idiot really helps :D Life advice par excellence
"Go eat a phallus"
_Harstem 2021
Jesus what's that thumbnail!?
Please do nothing else but this series. Every day!
"No offense cannon rushers" I agree, they kind of attack with defenses.
My favorite kind of SC2 content...cheesy strats! More!
And this is how Harstem learned of his potential to win tournaments!
the cannon rush made me yak up in my throat a bit
12:23 I'm a Kevin de Konig right-side enjoyer myself so thanks
I can totally see Hartsem becoming the most unpredicatable player in tournaments. Like, you don't even know which units are real and which are hallucinations. Is this probe a scout, or is it a cannonrush? You scouted the forge, so it must be a cannon rush, but no: It's fast +1 weapons.
I especially liked the last game in this video. Forgot to cannon rush, cheesed anyway, and still won.
This doesn't need to be every week, but this has to be every day. Cannon rushing FTW
Imagine harstem's camera in a tournament with that ironing board in the background :D
If i remember correctly Zest has already done it. He played in some major tournament with i think an ironing board and some cloth thrown at it. The commentators were laughing about it abit, Zest looked like he doesnt give a f**k:)
@@firestarter000001 i'm lucky that nobody has to see my background :D
Cannon rush series is dope idea, btw.
'If we can't canon rush we're gonna do the next skill buid wich is proxy void ray" .....hahaha..... I love you man
You gotta get Parting to make an appearance! Protoss maestro himself. Has as well
congrats on the move kevin
This is what we need to get to rank one my man
Please get printf as a co-host for some episodes for this series!! Isn't he the best cannon rusher?
already love this series 12 seconds in
As you mentioned in this video, you were just going for cheeses just bc. Now you should do a series about what you learned doing these cheeses and how you think it can be incorporated into a legitimate game. How far is considered good enough type of deal, and what over extending ur cheeses.
I really felt that incomfort from moving to a new place. I hope you quickly get used to it !
One of my favorite videos I’ve seen everrr
I think you can mirror the image with the camera software, you won't have to change the physical angle, just do it with camera software.
big fan of the insane thumbnail
I need more of this lmao it's been a real shitty year for me
High-test, high-octane, action-packed gameplay. I'm loving it.
Keep these videos coming every day.
i was watching a vid 1 min ago about "how to defend cannot rush" and now ur vid pops up.. Matrix is real and Harstem is Agent Smith 😎
No, Harstem is Neo & he'll free all with his high mmr when he becomes rank 1 through this new series everyone was missing!
I would honestly love a cannon rush guide
so we need a guide on how to beat Harstem with the canaonrush :D :D
btw Harstem, you do skytoss wrong too. its supposed to be mostly tempest with some carriers and high templar behind cannon shield battery trenches. the trenches push across the map making caesarian walls to grab more land. army split into 2 groups of 5 tempest 2 carrier 4 templar. 1 of those groups behind cannon trench can take out any other maxed army without problems. both can man different trench heads to have 2 constantly pushing fronts that both require 100% of the enemy overmaxed army to even slow down. (in fact even against maxed army, the half army can still push the trenches forward, or force the enemy to consistantly take heavy losses every time they make you cancel a trench. by 5 base every base should have at least 1 cannon shield battery (i prefer 2 cannon battery). all of this, plus preplanning the trench directions/positions leads to some very very salty GMs
forgot 2-3 oracles as support running around keeping the enemy main group visioned, as well as 3-7 observers around the map keeping tabs on flanks
that last terran player, what a gentleman.
I LOVE this series
Also Harmsmtem: "This is the beginning of a video" *60% into the video* hahahah lul
Oh, yeah :) I've been hoping for this series since getting to GM with Terran started
Congrats with moving to a new place! Looks nice. But I would prefer old camera placement so we can see your face actually turned in a direction of game )
It's scary to be canon rushed by Harstem
Cap, this is a great series and i'd love it if you kept it going on !
I DO like the Idea of this series
Lmao depleting 5 batteries worth of energy instead of killing the one pylon powering them all.
1:35 you can place your probe on top of pylon and build the pylon which would push the probe across his buildings yeah?
Can't wait for PrintF's return!
The best part of cannon rush is that no matter you win or lose, you save your time while making opponent angry. If you win, you laugh. If you lose, meh. It is good for mental health.
Distracting your opponent with cannon rushes and dt plays while building up eco at home with multiple forges seems like its a lot of fun
Ok can i just state that thumbnail is terrifying
I could be wet like a dog in the rain and if the media tells me its raining I wouldn't believe them.
Great video my captain, please do more
I give it 5 episodes before this account becomes your road to rank 1 account.
Protoss player remains honorable for years, succumbs to the cheese side. RIP Harstem, hello Hellstem.
Absolute legend
That is a high level content I subscribed for
I actually like playing against Cannon rushes, idk why people get so triggered.
Its free mmr
terran?
Great idea!
Please more of this!
I think the answer is top 10 GM
Maybe Harstem will finally learn to cannon rush properly with this series.
Talk about muscle memory. I still try to build 3 drones before an overlord... :'D
you build 1... it aint that hard lmao
I could see that last game ending up on is it imba or do I suck
