"Dear Harstem. I know you probably hear a lot of bad takes, but mine is beyond any doubt. Terran is OP. I had my opponent dead to rights. I performed a classic 0/0 no charge zealot rush into the enemy base taking him completely unaware. Just when I thought I had won, it turns out the enemy proxied a factory and used a widow mine to kill literally all but 2 of my probes! How can this at all be considered balanced? After that, my opponent used OP mules to mine more resources even though I had killed almost his entire base and from there proceeded to win the game. I don't care what anyone else says, clearly Terran is the most imba race in all of starcraft."

1. Your Macro was awful, 2. your strategy was nonexistent 3. Your BM was completely off base and mistimed, 4. Your followup was unbelievable.... no sir, you suck
That first widow mine won the game for CF. It was so triggering it broke Saber. This was one of the best salt mines so far. There was absolutely no reason for Saber to have lost this except for his inner doucheness. Shout out to CF for that Tank ambush at 17:15. That was a perfect placement.
When your opponent is so nice that he groups up his probes so your widow mine can efficiently wipe 15 of them out in one single shot. I don't think I've ever seen more probes die to one single widow mine blast.
I always wonder why nobody uses the best strategy out there to deal with people who are literally triggered out of their minds and just rambling nonsensical arguments: - Agree with them - Like actually agree with everything they say. "You're so stupid!" -> "Yes, you're right, I'm really stupid." "I play so much better than you!" -> "You play indeed way better than me." "Stop this ironic bs, you're the worst (insert race or whatever here) I've ever met!" -> "I'm not being sarcastic, you're just spot on with absolutely everything you say." I always do this to people in real life that are super annoying and just want to provoke and get you mad. The best thing is when they say something and you know it's completely wrong and even they know it's completely wrong, but you still agree. This drives them insane, guaranteed. And they will eventually leave you alone because it's super not fun to argue with someone who agrees with everything you say. Or they sometimes think that you are truly stupid. But that's totally fine to me if that helps stop being annoyingly yelled at. And it's way better than trying to ignore them or other things like that, because this often leads to this physical aggressive "Hey, I'm talking to you!" crap, that nobody wants or needs in their life.
The story about how PartinG has different hotkeys for every individual nexus reminded me of how I used to hotkey my queens. I put army groups on 1-3, Hatchs on 4, and then I used to put each individual queen at each individual hatchery on 5 through 0. This was before I knew about Camera hotkeys, so I would just double tap 5 to go to my home base queen, 6 for natural, and so on. Thank goodness for camera hotkeys XD Took me years to get out of the habit of putting the queens on those hotkeys. now they just all sit on hotkey 5 and sometimes I'll alt+6 a few, if I want them split into 2 groups. I did this change at the same time that I changed from Standard hotkeys to Grid. It was probably the most I climbed in the game, spiked 1.5k MMR after 2 years of practicing that way. Now I sit in lowly D1, which still feels a lot better than mid plat.
can you explain how plasma shield upgrade is bad? seems like it would be strong with shield batteries and everything you mentioned actually... especially if you ever plan on adding archon's to your army. armor upgrades would be literally useless on archons so it would only make sense to get shield upgrades, its also literally the only form of health that can be restored on all protoss structures/units so in theory in my opinion it would be the most valuable upgrade because they would have to die for it to lose effectiveness where as being low your armor upgrade is useless now. also for things like blink stalkers short trading and back out units it only makes them more durable. literally not understanding even slightly how its bad in any way.
@@VeryBadPlayerTV I'd say it's because, one, you lose shields so damn fast with early game units that it makes no sense and, two, if you're making stalkers/adepts, it's way more important to get damage because you can play keepaway and shields don't matter as much as getting shots in.
since this post is recent maybe you will see a reply. I started rts in 1995 with warcraft 2. my monitor is broken qnd before I remembered to be smart qnd play windowed with confined mouse I was playing with the right side unviewqble. meaning basically blind. clicking blind for units/upgrades that I didn't know the hotkey, can't see supply or resources. after adjustment of the screen I gained 20 apm lol. so I watched your b2gm. I used to micro probes, now I just rally from the nexus. adjusted my control groups. qnd it's amazing how you can duel (old war2 term for fast expand) qnd still be safe.from a rush. so thanks for the opening build. I like 4v4 coz no pressure and it's practice for your macro and orders. so I made a fresh account to do 1s placement. the range I faced was massive. first.game.was.vs.a.zerg with 7500 games lol. I use to proxy zealots out by the least used expand.path 4th base. it crushed. I try to play normal now vs.zerg qnd they beat me while I beat t and p. placed in Plat. my a key pops off too, so there is also that lol. you're great fun mate, gl hf
Hey PiG, Old StarCraft 1&2 campaign lover who has long since played a ladder game out of fear that I'm not good enough. I have just discovered this series out of hype for StormGate and I have to say it's instilling some confidence in me to possibly get on and start. I'm not yet really able to use location hotkeys, but I've known for a while how to hotkey multiple production structures. Maybe I AM good enough to win some games! Not a lot... but SOME!
Given how bad most people seem to be at the game, you can 100% win matches. Just focus purely on your side of the map, and macro real hard. Then Amove big A movy armys at your opponent. So many people try to be good at the game that someone being bad at game real good catches them completely off guard.
hey mate nice to see you're giving it a go! the most important thing is that you enjoy playing, so don't worry about losing any games at all, everyone loses games at all levels. If you need a guiding hand watch my bronze to gm series: Protoss B2GM Playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLOrKQEirgvjBJrKM31yhwA8v54pcBuXsx.html | Zerg B2GM : ua-cam.com/play/PLFUDU8AOevUd6ej64SOB429mHyuRL-XC9.html | Terran B2GM: ua-cam.com/play/PLOrKQEirgvjC6wYzKFAYaIBI5kaIS9NX5.html
In silver and the like, optimal macro is enough to win most games. You will just outpace them. So if you practiced that with the campaign you should be able to reach gold in a week or so
Ninja mine = the widow mine Not him mining somewhere after floating away. 180IQ smash my head against the wall. = I have 180IQ and when I tried to attack again after building up my economy I was easily repelled despite being so smart.
Imagine destroying your enemy to the point he has to move his main and you still have 4 stalkers reinforcing but you just go: That's it, we're done here. Let's go home, boys.
I am fairly certain that's a hard internet rule: The worst player in the match needs to be insulting everyone else. I think not doing that might be illegal. That's the most consistent type of behavior I could observe over the last 17 years or so. Started with DotA for me.
I can confirm, as i am currently on the run from the law for continuing to acknowledge that i am playing bad and being reasonable after the guy who was worse than me had left the lobby, passing the salt stick onto me.
Not true. Ive seen matches where the worst players are actually the most polite. there is no sure saying. The closest to truth you can say about toxic players is that, they are currently having issue with their real life no matter if they acknowledge it or not. To be more precisely put, most of the time it comes from jealousy/self insecurity.
Hey that was a dramatic game to watch. It was exciting till the end and the comeback was great. Way better than watching pro games and terran was so relatable with forgetting stim and shields and loosing his double drop. Protoss was like when you really try hard to rank up and already lost ten of ten but don't realize that you should just go to sleep instead of requeuing. You can really feel the accumulated anger and frustration.
I think you really put your finger on the x-factor for the Mines here. It's not just the salt by the loser, it's how it contrasts perfectly with the opponents calm and reasonable attitude that really makes the show
Aw shit, sick Black Books reference. Had to pause to pull up the episode and reminisce. Also that mine shot was the most satisfying thing ever. Clip it and put that on shorts!
Protoss would've won this game if: - He didn't pull his probes to the widow mine at the natural. - He scouted the factory - He kept monitoring that CC. Love the reaction at 4:15 and at the end LOL.
Pig took a 7 year break... I know best game ever what was I thinking right? Watched all of the b to gm from you vibe and winter. You guys are Champs love the content got into g1 Np ❤️. I loved the fact you all agree builds are loose depending, just don't float....ever. I would love a series based on timings based on scouting tvzvp. When can x unit be on the map that can break you early at what time etc. Early game pressure and it's defences. Banger series I think. You've taught me how to expand and macro I'll always be grateful. Hook us up with a mini series based off of openers and defense. (all races early all in one vid where it gives each race a chance to understand thier opponents and the counter ) what units can be built from this 2/1/1 what's his goal, early ling speed, blink stalkers etc I'll gladly watch a 3 hour mixed race opener/counter vid. Much love you're the best
I think that "180 IQ" thing means that HE has 180 IQ and still can´t play or understand that game... just a guess Maybe i should look for some salty games of my own... but if i remember correctly most players write me after the game in the chat... Nice Vid´s btw. ^^ thanks for making them :-) GGHF to everyone
Did they change the proportions of players across divisions at some point? I'm sure in the early days of SC something like 40%+ of players were bronze. I also don't remember people in platinum-diamond struggling with the bare basics of the game like I see now. I remember people generally had legitimate build orders and strats, although obviously not optimized to the extend of higher leagues.
People have played a lot longer now. When the game was one year old, the average player had played for significantly less than a year. Now, the average player has played for years and isn't bronze anymore.
Said glhf at the start of a match tonight vs a toss. No reply. I said jokingly “good talk” he said “np.” And when he killed me with a DT rush he types gg for me and then types “glhf*”. I don’t usually float the buildings but for this guy we floated the buildings
I have a 130 IQ, and so noticed the difference between how I think and others do, and 180 is literally Einstein+. It's a shame though, 130 it's smart enough to practically use for development. Like Jack figuring Christmas in Nightmare Before Christmas. I see more, just can't pull it together into that final thought.
if you replay it you'll see on the minimap he had an observer in the right place when the drop left the base. Saber knew there was a drop inbound the entire time.
terran scanned about 15 seconds before he got to that side of the map, and you can see and hear the enemy scan. there's no reason to scan unless you're just too lazy to scout or you're dropping. it's gonna be the latter 9/10 times

The last Remark was meant to be sarcastic I think.
Like: "Wow such an 180 IQ move, you just smashed your head against the wall and win."
Love the captain planet reference. The saltier they are, the sweeter they fall. Much love from Jonno Zomboid!

You need cooperation from your opponent to kill 15 workers with one widow mine shot.
19:25 I believe he meant his own IQ did a 180° turn and went into the negatives.
I love the analysis. Pretty accurate too. Awesome
If his IQ had actually made a 180 it would go into positives.
could have meant to say 10 at first, then changed to 80, but didn't press backspace
Omg that widow mine disintegrating fifteen probes was just poetic.

but the multitasking definitely on struggle street right now, for a player, who has definitely been struggling..
Well, 180 IQ isn't high enough to produce 400 IQ moves! ;)
edit: just had to add congrats for that EPIC widow mine!!!
Honestly the sc2 campaigns not having you build the tech for units prob screws up new players. It’s prob why the Terran forgot about stim shield
180 iq move right there.
Fun early game but the rest got fast forwarded
There is no way this is bronze! I am gold and i have way less APM and control group.
I love these hehe.
I have a 130 IQ, and so noticed the difference between how I think and others do, and 180 is literally Einstein+.
It's a shame though, 130 it's smart enough to practically use for development. Like Jack figuring Christmas in Nightmare Before Christmas. I see more, just can't pull it together into that final thought.
There are more smurfs in bronze than normal players.
captain face could be a starwars fan, reminds me of garik "face" loran
man these guys have the real 80 iq vibe
captain face is clearly a BRONZE LEAGUE CHAD
its funny how bad these players are and the salt that flows from them.
this is hilarious
Is 'maynarding' so unique a concept that people can't just use the word 'transferring'?
is blue hacking??? how did he see that move out?.
if you replay it you'll see on the minimap he had an observer in the right place when the drop left the base. Saber knew there was a drop inbound the entire time.
terran scanned about 15 seconds before he got to that side of the map, and you can see and hear the enemy scan. there's no reason to scan unless you're just too lazy to scout or you're dropping. it's gonna be the latter 9/10 times
this shit was hilarious hahahah
