Thank you for the advice Harstem, and your amazing personality as well. I look forward to trying this out vs mutalisks on the ladder now, and I think the roasting was a rather humbling experience but absolutely for the best. -Basherslice
Max Lapides In my opinion, the main problem was clearly the scout. U have loads of sentries, and you make nothing with them. Not even the micro that you can’t handle ! But the hallucinations ! Damn man make 2,3 of them so they survive spores and u shift click behind all Zerg bases and u’ll be just fine ! Dude u don’t even need 180 apm to do this. 150 is really fine for toss until a pretty decent level. Sending hallucinations like this takes about 12 clicks and 7 seconds. Scout timing vs Zerg is 7:00.

This series is my favorite thing on UA-cam atm. It's fantastic, reminds me a bit of Day[9]'s Funday Monday series, where each week there would a challenge (usually stupid stuff) for viewers to do and then Day[9] would cast the best submitted games. I would love for Harstem to be a driving force for a new series like that :)
Hey Harstem, I think this video was not quite ideal. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed watching it, however, I do feel like you could have pointed out things more relevant to the claim from the email you got. That is, he talked about how Mutalisks always kill him, and I think you could have pointed out things like the lack of scouting despite oracles and Stargate tech and what not. Things that would help player like him understand why they lose to Mutalisk. You did point out mistakes, but these were generic mistakes that can be applied in every situation, not really something specific to BasherSlice's problem. Mistakes you pointed out, I feel would be relevant if someone made claim like "zerg always has more than I do, zerg imba" That's my little bit of constructive criticism for you.
Actually it technically wasn't an email, I sent him a discord tell with the replay and a totally not over the top message about how mutalisks S T E A L my hard fought mmr from me (Kappa)
Well at least in the beginning he mentioned the three most common reasons to lose to mutas, and the replay basically ticked all of those boxes. No base defense, no flying units, and doing a bad base trade.
He did point out the scouting, and gave tips like cannons/shield thingies and or later game if they take you by suprise stalker + phoenix if you have access.
Obviously these videos wouldn't be possible without Harstem, but his editor is doing an awesome job, props to both of them for the amazing videos, keep it up :)
I love this series. Tongue in cheek is the perfect way to go about analyzing people's replays, never gets old. Not many scenarios where i will watch a lower level player as opposed to someone of legitimate incredible skill level. The shittier they are the more fun it is.
Hey Captain. Nice Video. I have a tip. The Information you blend in should be so long on the screen that you can read it 2 times in your head. Keep it up.
I'm curious. Why did we not bring up that wasted recall earlier that they COULD have used later to defend their base from mutas? I mean obviously they needed MUCH BETTER map vision to spot those mutas, but that recall, I'd love to know why they did that.
I'm 4000mmr in china server, I swear every zerg I met is much scarier than this, here is what happens on my routine: I do a 4 gate adept, then he maxes on roaches, I get double robo and 4 batteries and still dies anyway. I do a 4 gate adept, then he switch to mutas, I get blink and stalkers, and he just makes zerglings and banlings and kills my 3 rd base. Then I figured out that I need to transition to storm asap that's the only thing that can keep me alive. Storm can keep toss alive until lurkers or broods are out, after that it's just late game transition, carriers and storm and try not to be destroyed by infestors.
Plat. Zerg here. I usually have trouble with stalker, Templar, and Archons if I go mass mutas. My mutas just melt away, especially if I don't pay attention (a lot of the times) and fly my mutas right into your protoss ball (yes, i know i suck =P).
How do we contact you for things like this? I don't see anything related to it in the description, unless we are supposed to do it on Twitter or something.
01:02 You're supposed to know, Mr. Editor, by going to www.rankedftw.com and searching for "BasherSlice". That brings up a single result which shows that the user in question plays on American servers.
"Hi is doing the correct things. His making sensible moves. This is good [...] General idea is just working... His an idiot!!!" Well, that escalated quickly! :D
I can't speak for anyone else but you can clearly tell the difference between WoL/HotS vs LotV. The "high" ladder is simply not as competitive even compared to early LotV.
First of all, the thumbnail is awesome, couldn't avoid subscribing after seen this. Second, thank you for the detailed explanation towards the general build order and game plan of the fellow protoss, even though someone like me, in Diamond, would like a more detailed explanation about how to deal with the mutas harass, specially if the mutas were in a high count, such as 15 mutas. Anyways, when I started playing SC2, almost 4 years ago, I usually watched some videos and though I was able to play like masters in silver league. Then, when you jump in the ladder, you actually start to understand that you don't understand anything at all, and you'll be probably called retarded a couple of games. Then, you start moving out from Silver, because you have that general idea, and now you practiced enough in order to don't look like a retarded, while you're still one, personally I felt like that. Then you move to Gold 1, and you think you can execute builds and stuff, but still, you take your third at 10 mins, if you take it at all. When you hit Plat you believe you're the next pro generation of SC2, and start complaining about some balance changes, while actually, you don't know how to properly execute your build, or properly follow basic instructions. You believe you're better than the pros who came up with new builds, and start to free-style a bit, just to realize it's a disaster, and there you notice you're in Dia 2 already. If you play in NA, then you truly think you're masters... then, after watching this video you just confirm you're a mediocre player, not much better from the average SC2 player who was willing to actually watch some videos and understand the basics of what you can though, even though you struggle to do those basic stuff, those minor details. If you hit Dia 1 in EU, then that would be pure luck, or you got some bonuses from season changes. If you keep doing that, you might even hit masters after a year or so... those are my plans thought, until I realize I'm a mediocre player. Nevertheless, I'm really happy with that, because I'm less retarded than what I expected, and I started learning this game... even though took me almost four years playing casually to do so... So thanks a lot for clarifying my skill level and helping me out about what I need to understand in order to actually become a good player, not just farm the master's border, even though this was the first intention when I started playing this game. I even thought about submitting my replays, but it seems the majority of players are as bad as I'm, so it's better to learn from other's mistakes, that are my mistakes nonetheless. Again, my deep gratitude for the amount of knowledge you shared in this replay, from a mid-dia player, almost dia 1, but mid-dia!
I end up with an army of stalkers and archons in every mineral line, then blink-chase his maxed out mutas from base to base, joining up stalkers. Maxed out stalkers good vs muta. Also, sentry very good vs muta.
This actually looks like a lot of my games where I lost against muta earlier on - not prepared when they fly in, walk army into a baneling trap. For me the critical miscalculation was severely underestimating how well stalkers and cannons do against mutas when not distracted by ground armies and supported by shield batteries. Shield batteries are actually godsend in such situations compared to the msc days. Oh and I'm only bronze 3 but my games are so much better than this guy!!!!ONE!1
I'm a huge fan of this show, and I think your english is perfect, but why is every "s" sound in your words tends to be "sh" so that "BasherSlice" is turning to "Basherli" every time and so on? XD sounds pretty awkward when repeated hundred times in 10 minutes.. 🙂
"How anti-American of him - actually have some savings."
Laughed at that way harder than I should have.
My ex was from America - 7 credit cards maxed out!
Nah, this is the best comment he has maybe ever made
@@spokoman23 Dude, I didn't know that there are even so many credit card institutes around, WTF?
I spend all my money, then it doesn't matter if the government prints money and makes my money worth less.
Joke is on Harstem though. Household debt to GDP is extremely high in the Netherlands. Like top 3 in the world.

yes, perfect analogy

i didnt need to wait , I pushed the like , only after you reading the imbalance report form , LooL , i really enjoy these videos
10:36 “ I’d like to formally apologize to basher...” that got a chuckle.

I love this series it is up there with bronze league heroes and funday Monday.
One day you should have a stream where all donations go to your editor. Great work.
Hey Captain.
Nice Video.
I have a tip.
The Information you blend in should be so long on the screen that you can read it 2 times in your head.
Keep it up.
Let's just take a moment to appreciate the top-level editing in this video.
The production is really getting nice there!
editing is getting so good! keep it up :D great vid
I will recommend your channel. I haven’t yet watched the vid, just the thumbnail. So good
I must say Im really fond of the little drawings on the begining report :)
A classic episode of my favourite sitcom. And such thumbnail. Wow
I'm curious. Why did we not bring up that wasted recall earlier that they COULD have used later to defend their base from mutas? I mean obviously they needed MUCH BETTER map vision to spot those mutas, but that recall, I'd love to know why they did that.
Missed opportunity to use "Grand Theft Muta", otherwise pure genius
It truly is criminal that the awesome painting isnt mentioned!
Give MMR!!! :D
My fav part of this is that he had 4 gateways, a stargate, a forge and a templar archives on a single pylon at the main xd
Simply the best thumbnail in SC history
This is a high quality thumbnail
I'm 4000mmr in china server, I swear every zerg I met is much scarier than this, here is what happens on my routine:
I do a 4 gate adept, then he maxes on roaches, I get double robo and 4 batteries and still dies anyway.

Storm can keep toss alive until lurkers or broods are out, after that it's just late game transition, carriers and storm and try not to be destroyed by infestors.
dude that thumbnail is so good lmfao

Me even in Masters building a battery just in case to be safe
Harstem: Oh no, he's an idiot
god tier thumbnail coming up
How do we contact you for things like this? I don't see anything related to it in the description, unless we are supposed to do it on Twitter or something.
This might be the greatest thumbnail ever
Hey harstem, I was wondering how you are able to use all your hotkeys, can you make a video explaining how you are using your hot keys? Thanks!
to be honest 50 percent of why i watch these videos is because of the new editing
Love the thumbnail!
I admit: thumbnail and title got me.

"Hi is doing the correct things. His making sensible moves. This is good [...] General idea is just working... His an idiot!!!" Well, that escalated quickly! :D
Previous IIODIS : don't get Phoenix against muta. Good ! This one : build phoenix against muta ! Now I'm confused.
Hurray for the Editor!
why does the mineral count in the UI say minutes?
that report sheet is pure awesomeness!!!
Love the thumbnail like just for that alone
New replay on old maps ? Maybe it's part of an ongoing team league I know he plays in a lot of them so that would make sense
9:00 this man. People do it in so many things as well. Dunning-Kruger effect at work.
But for real though I could beat Maru if I wasn't stuck in silver. I just need that one chance!

That was a really good thumbnail
I love how he makes 1 mistake and harstem says he’s a full blown idiot🤣🤣🤣
what I don't get is that it's always a guy that loses but then somehow thinks a unit in a cheap pack of five is the reason they lose
Your editor is lit.
Heerlijk recht door zee.. je hebt gehakt van hem gemaakt ^^
these mutas could've been banchees or oracles, so it's the flying units that are op
I just do the dt build into blink stalker that harstem has, that zest did vs solar and no more problems with muta
If I was zerg and saw protoss playing like the giant pussy that basher is, I also would insta mass muta
That muta picture 😂 dude you got me 😂😂
Dude if you don’t make it in Starcraft....you definitely have a career in standup comedy.
Since when muta have juan deagle
well at least he didn't make us suffer through 55 fucking minutes of insanity
can we have zero scouting for beating grandmasters with stupid stuff (only info you can go off is what units your opponents attack/harass you with)
damn Harstem, you're a savage but I love it!
if u were referring to me on the last imba or suck video that i said im silver 1, i literally defeated a m3 a couple days ago lol

How do people submit this stuff thinking it's presentable lol
