@@Gol_D_Rog3r eh, it will be fine and top protosses can adapt pretty fast (on lower level changes may be even positive), but I'm still salty that "balance" council in a bit hard times for P just nerfing them while straight up buffing terrans and ignoring community's consensus about ghosts. Changes wouldn't be so bad if you look at them in vacuum, but right now it looks like they want to make life for protosses harder without giving enough in return (energy overcharge in its current condition doesn't cut it, not even close).
TotalBiscuit didn't think BC rush would ever be viable in high level TvT. I'm sad he's not around to see how wrong he was. Truly was ahead of his time.
That first game was really entertaining. I don't know what it is about base trades that end in a full on base swap, but they're always really fun to watch haha
I think his general opinion is that most of the capital ships units sort of force the same playstyles every single time and have since the game began, which isn't interesting. The brood lord just doesn't fit most places on top of that, being interesting but underwhelming.
@@calebadam2576 I don't know. I feel like the BC always leads to very interesting matches, no? I mean 20 minute no rush and then battlecruiser jump in... not.. but the BC cheeses tend to be cool games in my book.
@@TheIardis The games can be interesting, but the specific point is that the counter units are pretty much always the same and lead to same style games if they get past the first minutes of them hitting the field.
@Harstem Video idea for you. The goal is to use a mothership to teleport a small squad of carriers (like 1, 2, or 3) and a warp-prism on top of terran production, while simultaneously doing a brute-force attack at the front.
g2 starting bc use was a fun style. bc like mothership should be limit to 1. zerg queen should be limit to 1 per hatch and fgs give it auto inject at least :P the micro on a queen is like a small skermish :P
Interesting! Hallucinated probes coming 4 at a time, I suppose if you were to have enough Sentries to cast it multiple times simultaneously, that could give that impression of an all-in. I suppose once they realize one of them is an illusion then the trick would fail, but if it caused a gg...
Harstem heres an idea for beating grand masters with stupid...mass mothership with the new patch. Stack those invisibilities and lasers and time bubbles.
It's crazy how hard ghost counters protoss. Imagine the following: a ghost and a high Templar cross paths. The Templar immediately throws down a storm and aa's the ghost. The ghost patiently tanks the whole thing than snipes the Templar. A ghost and a HT cross paths. This time time the HT learned his lesson and uses feedback instead. The moderately hurt ghost shoots the HT dead on aa's . A Ghost and a HT cross paths a third time. The HT brings a friend and activates their most powerful ability, archon meld. The ghost has a quick rest while the fusion goes on, drops and unmissable emp, than drops the archon in one shot. Then kills the emp decloaked observer with the second shot for free, just cause
@@mothrahlurker788 as much as i like Harstem, he was being overly aggressive and over stayed a the protoss doors not to mention he rallied most of his reinforcements to their death for free. The protoss kept his reinforcements in check and was out-microing Harstem, but 1 ghost fixed all of Harstems mistakes and problems, hell he was late with his concussive shell which is a must against colossus comps Sure little Timmy, sure
Hi Harstem, I've been a big fan of your channel for a long time. I particularly liked beating grandmasters with stupid stuff, is it imba or do i suck, rank roulette and I'm currently enjoying the LifeForce campaign. However, i've encountered a bit of an issue recently, which is that you have so many streams (which i don't usually watch, and when I do, it's on twitch) that my subscription page gets absolutely clogged with them. At any given time there 3 or 4 of the 8 top videos are from you, mostly stream VODS. It's gotten to the point that I'm considering unsubscribing and just searching out your videos every now and again even though I would rather stay subscribed. I did some very brief and biased research, and it seems like keeping old stream VODs in the main channel may be bad for gaming channels, as they cause reduced clickthrough rates and stuff. Here's a video about it: ua-cam.com/video/xsmIx0KpHdw/v-deo.html Have a nice day!
i dont get the gg thing? do people really think they are owed a gg? I though someone saying gg was saying they though it was a good game , i dont get why you would think they would think every game was a good one?
@@elliottg5987 Yep, exactly! The game exists to entertain you, but your opponent doesn't. His purpose is to _defeat_ you. He played a good game when he managed to do that.
Harstem practicing his switch to terran after latest patch.
He should switch. All protoss players should switch. That's the only way to send a clear message to the council.
@@faridmk3707have you tested the new changes Toss is gonna be okay man.

@rw6611 well they are already adapted to not winning, in that sense yes
Shut up small children, with balance patch or not you'll still be platinum league

i mean hes not entirely wrong, battle cruisers havent been used in a looooong time

Harstem: I hate Battlecruisers!

23:46 need to be a montage off every extremely strong early game terran army fighting :P
7:58 You could of loaded 5scv into that command center, rememeber that ;)

Call me lactose intolerant, because I'd be shitting myself if I'd have to go up against Harstem's cheeses!!
In g1 one scv wasn't mining. It followed another scv mining. It grinds my gears that this passed unnoticed.
Congratulations on the 300th gg!
"This second cc is bait"... proceeds to build a third cc 😂
Petition to change the counter from 'GG counter: 299/471' to 'GG v NoGG 299/172'
That way every game you only have to update one number
who called in the fleet?
that one marine in broodwar: i did! heck its about time!
playing zoomed in is great idea for bgmwss
Game Theory: 50/50 Harstem wins until he tells you there is no way he can lose. Now it's 80/20 in favor of him losing.
g2 starting bc use was a fun style.
bc like mothership should be limit to 1.
zerg queen should be limit to 1 per hatch and fgs give it auto inject at least :P the micro on a queen is like a small skermish :P
now I really want Lowko to cast this 😅
Hey do you think halucinated probes could work as a way to trick your opponent that you are all in with an attack?
Interesting! Hallucinated probes coming 4 at a time, I suppose if you were to have enough Sentries to cast it multiple times simultaneously, that could give that impression of an all-in.

beautiful green color
harstem if you send scv's with your army you can rightclick the repair button to enable autorepair. it saves apm. very handy
it also causes SCVs to waste minerals on cyclones and tanks
@@ddenozor i dont think its wasted on tanks
Did you learn thus from Marc? 😆
Interesting first game
Could've killed a bunch of Collossus if you had Marauder slow. GGs :).
New video, lets gooo
Not harstem switching races after the patch was annouced😂
Funny to see how the Protoss was holding out until Ghost came out to stat check him with no counterplay whatsoever
Lmao

@@ambion19literally, Harstem destroyed the protoss army with just 1 EMP, it's absolutely disgusting to see
The protoss was on 3 base, with worse upgrades and had lost his natural, if there was anything to complain about it's that he almost came back.

Sure little Timmy, sure
So, in second game it is needed just one ghost - gg.
"balanced" terran
He should have lost on purpose then :D Would it be then terran up ? :D

It's called politeness.
I think it's more to do with recognising that your opponent played a good game.
