I donated to the prize pool! I was so happy to see you play so well... The youtubers that hosted the tournament was Laughin Games and Falcon Palladin. A couple good guys...
I think the Cheesiest Man Alive series has paid off. I recall Harstem used to be much more one dimensional and inclined to cut corners to get further ahead. Nice to see
I love seeing you win and I love the explanations you give. Especially in your third game against showtime, your reasening for not killing the probe, the poking, retreating and stuff like that.
BGMWSS idea: Terran played with zero scans. Scouting has to be via buildings or units and detection has to be turrets or ravens. Hard mode: Scouting has to be buildings, detection has to be ravens after early game or unless air is built.
I'm an oldschool player, and even if I dont play much anymore I still enjoy watching SC cast. All the other YTers annoys me except Harstem. But I noticed so many times he makes some easy mistakes and it seems to cap his level. This was not the day. He realized his true potential. Proud of you son.
I don't think there is a single pro that does better coming out of a patch change than the Captain. Top notch preparation and adaptability. Love to see it.
I have an idea for a buff! They should give archons an auto buff by giving them an ability called "electromagnetic field" which would take place as soon as you research "storm". Basically, this would allow archons to walk through all other units of yours (similar to collosus) but not allow them to walk through each other to keep them from stacking. This would help your zealots keep from getting trapped behind archons, and help your archons keep from getting trapped behind your zealots, as they are both a unit with generally less range than the units they are fighting. The micro potential would be that you could send your archon in to tank some damage, then send them back before dying by simply walking them to the back of your army (similar to blinking back). This would give the archon some nice micro ability, as they tend to have limited uses in the late game, especially versus terran.
ggvwp Your practice shows very well here. The theory was immaculate and you pulled through on the execution! Harstem fans are veritably rampaging in the streets with joy!
45:51 ive been watching you for a while and its small things like this he starts by EMPing your army and your play this very well even with shuffling the EMP'd archon towards the back of the army but then no battery in range, or just none at all can't tell. that healing could have been massive right there. I feel like if you clean these very suttle things up that you have been getting extremely good at your gonna start to shine in a whole different way.
Harstem in game 3 vs Showtime: sentries suck. 100 gas for a unit that doesn't do anything Harstem in game 4 vs Showtime: sentries are awesome. I love that they actually do something
Harstems blind spot is still that he is often too "safe" after winning a big fight. His goto is to build more tech / eco in stead of doubling down on the win with a push. Having said that, I do see the improvement that has been going on over the past year. I would LOVE to see him in some big tourneys.
I'm soooo happy you found this guy!!! He has griefed me countless times in team games despite me being masters 1v1 and all team formats. He acts this way in every match word for word then tries to kill his ally for not doing the thing he spams you to do
This is it. The Year of the Harstem.
Age of the Harstemtry
Were there any doubters about 2024?
Exactly what I was about to write.
Again!?
The balance council conspiracy theorist were right!
I love the delayed reaction to the win xd
Haha agreed xd
1:32:39 this one right here is doing it for me LOL
Best part of the video was the last 10 seconds yeah lol. Great games still, but the realization is funnier.
34:24 - Never fly with Harstem Air, their planes don't land, they burrow
Best 1 1/2 hours of SC2 I watched in a long time - your commentary and that level of play is always fun to watch.
Yes, most enjoyable.
The DT flank at 50:25, like walking into a wood chipper.
1:32:43 That happiness, good work man!

This is the tournament in its whole.
Congratulations! That reaction at the end was the cherry on top! The realization that you just won it!
There was probably hidden bug fixes in the patch notes that fixed the bug that made so Harstem used only 5% of his power
Great job! It showed how much work you've put in. And also knowing your opponents too!
I think the Cheesiest Man Alive series has paid off. I recall Harstem used to be much more one dimensional and inclined to cut corners to get further ahead. Nice to see
it's funny because the way you talk about this build reminds me of your maxpax rants
I really love the contagious laughter while pointing out his own mistakes. Man with a great heart
so proud of you
Fascinating how fast and in depth you come up with strategy on the fly. Good stuff Captain
I love seeing you win and I love the explanations you give.
Especially in your third game against showtime, your reasening for not killing the probe, the poking, retreating and stuff like that.
nice win. gotta love when patches matter and then the way you like playing becomes more viable. well played, sick reverse sweep vs spirit too.

Yeah it's sometimes hard to handle the nerves. Serral so seems to get through it by shear anger.
@@petermaltzoff1684 Serral is from Finland. Those guys dont get very emotional ie Kimi Raikkonen in F1
So happy that Captain shows what he can do :D amazing games, well done. GG
That micro in the last game uf. Major win. Cg
Congrats! Been here for the in between, staying for more tournament wins!
Congratulations captain!! well deserved
Congrats overall and finally taking a series from Spirit must've felt really good.
A+ on commentary lol, had my wife ask me a few times if I'm ok cause I just kept laughing randomly 🤣🤣
You love to see it: the patch of the Harstem!
WHAT AN UPSET in both games! A preparation and an execution! The Year of Harstem looking hotter than ever!(long time)
Congrats Captain! It was a very fun series 🎉🎉
That reverse sweep on spirit was insane
the sync of "why" is on point! 38:03 ^^
Great comeback against Spirit. You did a great job casting it too.
This was very entertaining. Congrats.
amazing stuff, you played so incredibly well in the finals vs Showtime, rooting for team Harstem is showing its positive effect
Who knew all it would take is a sentry buff and suddenly hartem is beating some big names like spirit and showtime. Proud of you cap!
Congrats! 🎉 Had great fun watching the series!
Lol, that reaction at the end not realizing you'd won
I don't think there is a single pro that does better coming out of a patch change than the Captain. Top notch preparation and adaptability. Love to see it.
The reaction when counting the replays is priceless.
Happy for you my friend..
Thanks man
Grats!! As the first pro gamer I have ever followed it makes me happy you won :)
Good games ! I had a blast with the nexus cancel and the observer friendly fire 🤣

Heck yeah man, happy for you. Always rooting for you
Well deserved victory! Thanks for the master class, it was incredible
I play Terran but I support harstem. This is your year man, can’t wait to see more
Harstem in game 3 vs Showtime: sentries suck. 100 gas for a unit that doesn't do anything
Harstem in game 4 vs Showtime: sentries are awesome. I love that they actually do something
That ending was cute, not gonna lie. Well done Harstem
Harstem make a lot of genius move this tournament. deserved to win
Great Kevin, i also knew that build will kill everyone, it even killed my low mmr for my incapacity of executing it xd Gratz for the tournament
I enjoy watching you play protoss the most out of anyone.

Great games, and way to not give up in the first set.
That series vs spirit was awesome. What a recovery!
Great job! I loved the narration!
congrats. Finally a complete sucess again. GO get them next time as well.
Nice job kev congratulations!
Could listen to Harstem all day, Harstem FTW!
God what a satisfying video. Well earned, well deserved, well done!
What a beautiful comeback vs Spirit!
Congrats, well done 💪
I am really happy for you. Nice games. GGs
I did not know, that planes burrow in Netherlands instead of landing. Not sure I want to fly there then..
The hallucinating Immortals strategy is so cool. I hope sentry's get more buffs so we can see more Protoss mindgames
The observer snipe was brilliant 😂
I'm soooo happy you found this guy!!! He has griefed me countless times in team games despite me being masters 1v1 and all team formats. He acts this way in every match word for word then tries to kill his ally for not doing the thing he spams you to do
I'm so happy for you capitan. I love Harstem
love to see your emotions - even if counting is required ^^ - GRATZ
