When they tell the story of the Punic Wars, people are always amazed how the Romans did so badly. But they fail to mention how Hannibal crossed the Alps with his army of Widow Mines and the Romans just blinked straight into them.
I love how Hanibal completely locks the toss in his base but doesn't take a single additional base himself either. Despite having the entire map to himself. Guess he wanted to keep things fair?
To recall Harstem's advice from the past: as soon as he had the contain the bases he should have taken were the 3 right outside his opponent. If you can mine out your opponent's expansions, it almost counts for double; your opponent will never mine those resources, and you still have your own expansions still in your pocket.
This was like watching one of those "dumbest criminals" videos where they get stuck in a building, not because the door was locked, but because they kept trying to push a door that would have opened if only they had pulled
That process of blink into mines into recall at 15:00 was simply precious. Like a toddler that ran into a situation it didn't want, making a shocked face and then waddling away.
Sadly as soon as you leave metal leagues, there's no going back. I would've demolished that T, so i can't play in those leagues anymore. And higher up it's mostly tryharding :/
@@Spaminator3000 To be fair to the Terran in gold league at pretty low APM that reaper was more useful as a distraction so he can focus on his macro while making the protoss lose more mining time and disrupt his macro even more.
Because gold is like little league - the kids know some of the basics of the game, but are just as likely to score on themselves as they are to score on the opposing team.
@@drawnsequence to be fair, you see this kind of stuff in plat and diamond. In Diamond, I lost ~22 drones from reaper harass and a Helion run by before 5 minutes, but I just focused on macroing and had a comeback because my opponent didn't know how to close out the game and also made mistakes in his macro while microing the harass.
One of the best episodes ever!! He literally had all the tools but yet he couldn't calm down, he freaked out and did panick moves! I can relate to that 😅
Can't believe Harstem references blueberry muffin attacks in Hitman 16 hours after my oshi plays Hitman, although she has transitioned from blueberry to wrench
Since there are some videos Hamster is justifying Harstem jokes with "Guys this clip was recorded 5 months ago". Probably this video is old, or else he will live in a cage again
OMG 🤣that reaction following the @15:00 blink down the ramp followed by the donkeylaughter after the panic recall is priceless!! ❤❤❤❤ We love you Captain.
20:49 at this moment, you are running head first into a fully formed terran defense line. You looked at a wall, searched for the strongest spot and tried to run head first through it
We, who actualy learned how to play, will never again experience this pure destilled fun those games give. Noone has any idea what is going on. I love it.
Harstem, if you want more games like this then you should do a bronze league hero's series. It's my favorite series that I always return to by WinterStarcraft.
09:05 I think it was intentional... if you pay close attention to the scv, it does a little turn. If it was going for the minerals it would have made a straight line, but it doesn't.
Now, after I've seen second recall, I think DrkEcho considers it a timetravel mechanic, so when he made mistakes and recalled units back, everything that happened before recall never happened. That's why they wrote about failed probe rush so nonchalantly.
Ok, so youtube tells me I have already watched this video, but there is no way I have seen this before. I would never and will never forget this video. Hamster's edits and the captain going off his rocker - perfection.
Well, it's Gold, so not much of a surprise there. But you know what this reminds me of. Me, back when I was starting to play Broodwar with friends - often vs the AI. Sooner or later, after often having Observers killed as they move forward together with the group they are in, you eventually learn to make a separate group for them. The Zerg AI always had Spores and Lurkers everywhere. Seems this Protoss has never quite learned that concept. Aside fromt the fact that he seemed like yet another player that thinks he should be trying to be fancy, even though he had thousands of minerals. He could literally just have sent forward a bunch of Zealots to activate most of the Mines. Instead of trying to do lots of Micro that he isn't capable of yet.
Props to DarkEcho, he is not able to handle something and he writes for help. I like these videos from you Harstem, It is nice to help and sometimes make fun.... I am not even on the level of having a build and anyone would beat me - so I respect everybody who is attempting pvp in Starcraft....
Harstem! I went on a 5/5 win streak last night thanks to watching your vids, just a humble brag and thank you >_< you make learning this game very fun, you're a great teacher. Youre jokes and roasting make the mistakes to avoid easy to remember! I just imagine what would Harstem say about this move? lol
Really good pick for a video, really liking it. One thing that I see commentators really skim over is how they have perfect information on what the enemy does. You know their economy, how much they spread across the map, etc. I often wonder if viewing a game like this without seeing the opposite player's state (aside from what player scouts) would change the commentary. Either way, have a like
I played a game like that long ago. A good solution for a low level player is Tempests. They out range the mines and can fire upon Siege Tanks and Liberators.
it feels better to write on paper but I will literally never go back and look at it. if it's in digital notes i can search it when i need it again later. also perfect roast hamster with the ipad 🤣
Managing your observers individually and not with your main army. *spotting* your own observers and clicking on them when explosions are happening on your screen. Noticing where enemy mines burrow while not looking *constantly* on them (you have to manage your own base sometimes). This is harder than you think! It is above gold-level play. Mines are IMBA at gold-level.
I think he doesn’t recognize what options they can actually play at this level. The mine (at this level) is actually kinda busted. The options he listed for clearing the mines all involved controlling multiple units, correct spacing, and tech decisions. Like I am sure that 3 second recall was the Protoss doing it as fast as he could. Maybe he doesn’t know how to/can’t use control groups well. There is a gap in the required difficulty to use vs the difficulty to clear the mines. So when player’s skills exist within that gap, a unit can be unbalanced for that skill level. It’s doesn’t mean that it’s unbalanced overall or unbalanced if the player responds correctly. But it is unbalanced at this specific skill range. So yes the player sucks, but he seemed much better than his opponent in every aspect of the game, except dealing with mines. I believe he definitely had the skill to use them at least as well as his opponent. But he still lost because he exists in that skill gap, good enough to use a mine, not good enough to deal with it properly.
that analysis at 3 minutes XDDDDDDDDDDDDD I'M DYING XDDD Kevin has soooooo funny analogies, that's one of my favorite things about IODIS and about the Captain in general XD
One thing worth noting is that he's floating like 1K minerals even at the end and he could totally just warp in like six zealots and walk across the map and kill everything while the mines are on cooldown after he previously walked his entire army into them
I had look at my match history after this one, ive played hannibal barcia 3 diff times in the last week. The reason i knew is he walls off this way every single time, thats what made me check lmao
what do you think about add "atttack" for detection unit for all race i mean not "attack" but behavior like they attack so they will avoid flying into mines/enamy army this will be quality of life improvment becouse for non pro players its actually hard to avoid loseing a detection vs mines ( so add "attack" 6 -7 range for detection so at a-move they will just stay in good range for make detection but will not die (:
The funniest thing about the 20-second delay in the probe rush is that if it weren't for that delay, he probably would have made it into the Terran main before the wall went up. So it wasn't just a waste; it was a waste that wound up dooming the rush.
Harstem, it's worse than you say. He lost to static defense, with almost nothing but artillery. This is like giving a guy a shovel, pointing, telling him to dig a grave, and you check back to find him dead, because instead of using that shovel to dig a grave, he somehow managed to erect a skyscraper with it, and and fell off the top while putting on the finishing touches.
am i wrong in thinking maybe a few scattered cannons would have hinder the mines from moving forward and obligated the terran to mix up his troops more,.?
It would be overkill, but have you considered playing out replays yourself against expert ai or whatever, just to show how to salvage the situation? Like from 23:30 for example
When I first started playing StarCraft and didn’t know anything I had a game as toss where Terran just put a mass of mines in the middle of the map and I kept running my army through it. It felt Imba but I definitely just sucks 👌🏻
on a side note, at around 10 mins, why was the liberator the biggest issue? there were alot of mines around the libertor, if he tried blinking stalkers(to take out the liberators), wouldn't they all be killed by mines? i do agree that the mine clearing was really bad...like the terran wasn't doing any bs mine play like mine drops etc.
Because once the Lib dies the mines are all free kills. The win condition is therefore "Kill the Lib". Yes he would lose some stalkers, but he could blink past the majority of the mines and only lose 3-4 stalkers. If he has at least one stalker alive he kills all the mines, so that's all that is needed.
The counter is to simply go around and take a prism to drop off a probe outside the contain anf build a base. Then pincer from the new angle. Or just pincer from warped in units....
oh yeah the pain of DrkEcho is totally relatable, many games in gold-plat PvT go like this, where the terran does the worst most ridiculous crap you've ever seen on top of completely horrible macro, and you KNOW that what they do is so bad it is 100% loss, but it throws you off your game so bad you just fall apart. worst feeling in starcraft, worse than being cheesed
I would complain about one issue regarding nukes. Immediately after a nuke lands, the attacking player gains vision of the nuked area. He was then able to launch another nuke, even though his ghost was on the low ground. Are nukes OP? Only when used by gold league players on 2 bases.
The ending was priceless!😂😂😂😂 I'm a Protoss player but now I want to go in the game and do this play as terran! XD This was a episode of GOOOOOoold League Heroes!!!!!!! These guys took away my ladder anxiety

Maybe it's a grandpa. Relaxed and sent nukes for regards in good old fashion.
Maybe more than two bases for him is too much

but why save money for a base when I can just build more nukes?

The rest of the game had so many hilarious moments that I honestly forgot that it all started out with a probe rush into reaper ring around the rosie.

This is the funniest IODIS i have seen ever. The comedic value is unmatched
The prism carrying the Colossus is probably the best part
Watch the mines vs Broodlords as well. such a classic
For the first time in starcraft history, dropping everything to micro the single min 3 reaper would have just won a game XD
That's pretty common in proxy gate scenarios, especially vs 1rax proxy reaper.
I feel like every widow mine IODIS complaint has lead us to this point
1:20 To sum up, his Gold League build order is BGMWSS into herO. This should be a good one!
That ending though...the warp prism and tilt.
I wonder how Harstem's first meeting with his father-in-law went 🤔
well he just told us the story
Gold Leaguer talking about doing GSL build orders.
This is how you know that this one's gonna be a banger.
You can almost feel his soul leave his body a lil bit with every mine hit 😂

Wow, that finishing blow really made me laugh. I almost never laugh watching an SC2 match but that was really, really funny.
Two maxims, opposite, yet balanced:
"There's no way (something this dumb) can really happen." and
"Only reality can be this dumb."
19:20 This gotta be the best response to a nuke ever played in Starcraft 2.
The best part is after you hear the ghost die, if he moves back, he'd still be fine
