The overlord rally's was inexcusably bad play. He had full information of the stargate, what it was building, and he kept rallying them into it during low eco situation.
I saw it with winter too and whenever I see some other caster before Harstem I am reminded that none of them have remotely as good of a grasp on the game as a pro like Harstem (I mean makes sense but still)
I don't remember who I saw do it, but on this type of map, instead of the hatchery, build an extractor/refinery/assimilator on the closest geyser and you can then mine the minerals and then change to geyser, then when worker comes out with gas, return worker to minerals... sure the resources are lost, but it's on the enemies side, so win win, but less commitment!
@@brandonvarner7145 You can mine like this while the hatch is building, so by the time the hatch is finished the wall would be already gone and Shin would be in in no time.
@@WeItenspinner I don't think that was the problem with his build. The big problem was the lack of splitting the first round of banes, thus they all got blocked by one unit and couldn't evaporate all the probes. A second problem like Harstem said, after the first bane push failed he should've transitioned to destroying the 2nd base and the production structures on the low ground while sending some lings into the main.
No one giving Stats proper praise for his impeccable control and decision-making. Watching Harstem, I know for sure that Harstem would lose both these games. I think there are maybe 3-4 Protoss in the world that can hold these pushes and cheeses, and that's being generous.
That cheese was so good to start and then so bad. Way too many banelings, no split attack with them and then the overlord rally. Smh. Why did he send the drones in ???
I feel like bane busting the adept was a miss play. Nothing to stop the banes, should have ran banes in a pincer movement and focused on the probes. Shin really played like he wasn't sure what to go for

I've already watched Winter and Lowko cast this, but this game is so good I'm watching it again with Harstem.

@@anima94I feel like Lowko is great for the general audience who aren’t as knowledgeable in StarCraft while Harstem can provide a pros perspective

Less larva
@@brandonvarner7145 agreed, but it was faster and hits before the hatchery would complete...

3:05 -- wtf, how does the leftmost building *continue to warp-in normally* , even though the pylon supporting it JUST GOT TAKEN DOWN ?! O_o
.
I loved this bo3 I really think Shin could've won with pulling back slightly earlier and droning up a bit after good initial damage.

this was the most insane throw ive seen in awhile

I like cheesy Zerg!
Toss needs to be debuffed
Stats bossed this so hard
A proxy hatch with no queens, over farming gas, late speed, zero baneling micro.
I know Ragnorok hasn’t always played Zerg… but really?
zerg is so fucking weak
