- You know an SC2-Player isn't that great when you can beat him with a plastic straw. Today's guest is very very glad, that we are getting rid of those so that he can attempt to stamp around on the chess board once more! Like and subscribe to clean the ocean of plastic! (this does not actually work)

"If they were a bird, they'd really struggle with cats." --> Instant classic
I actually laughed so hard out load at that
That was great!
To be fair I'll think ostrichs struggle with leopards. So they are actually birds struggling with cats out there.
@@asddasdasdasdadsa ostrich are the turtles of birds !
would be a kiwi XD
14:10 "I don't think Canada has much oil"
Canada has the third largest oil reserves in the world
Don't say it too loud or their neighbors will come and take it
@@Harstem YEEEEHAWWWW DID SOMEONE SAY OIL??? GET READY TO BE LIBERATED EHH!!!
They are mostly polite people that don't annoy anyone that's why no one touches their oil, I assume.
@@Harstem We sell most of it to the Americans already. Canada is the second largest country in the world by land area next to Russia and we have a lot of resources for that reason. We're world leaders in uranium, zinc, nickel, potash, asbestos, sulfur, cadmium, and titanium production and we have large reserves of iron ore, coal, petroleum, gold, copper, silver, lead, and many ferroalloys. Beyond that clean freshwater and timber are also major natural resources we enjoy in abundance.
@@AlvinY4kitori They sell like 70% of it to the US
The turtles stomping around on a chess board is actually a genius analogy
For balance not mattering at most levels of play?
@@klarthkoken1925 for how anyone in GM picture most levels of play and for how balance doesnt matter in that context
when you're an olympic athlete, you kinda see how invalid are arguments made against a sport, when they're made by high school players...
Its like listening to your kid say how much his life sucks and hasn't even begun working and acquiring debt..etc
anyway, yeah.. pretty funny and cool turtle analogy
@@netghosta
Arguments may be flawed, but sc2 isnt just an esport. Its also a video game. I suppose most of these complaints could be restated as "X is excessively furstrating to play against"
@@sweetmarshmallow7146 absolutely right ab that.. but I gotta also confess that it is hard for me to see SC2 as just a video game, although it is! can't argue that!
I think it is so compelling that it drives most of our competitive nature.. and sometimes we get caught up into it that we refuse to see/accept that we're not as good as we wish we were.. and end up blaming the game or strats or players or hacks...
but yeah, absolutely with you.. we should own our frustrations! not the other way around.. plus, it allows other people to relate and bond.. instead of cursing and harassing..
in the end IT IS just a game..
He just doesn't want his boys to overdose on those dangerous drugs
he clearly stated so in the cocaine addicts sentence
@@LvGbLiNd i think the problem was the ghosts in the selection having priority, you gotta tab to marines to press T, tricks me every time also, same with raven, BC
ok harstem figured it out too, i was writing the comment after seeing the first fight
I've been a Terran my whole life and I've yet to see flying buildings.
As a fellow wood leaguer, I tell exactly what happened with all the stim issues. First drop: he wasn't sure did stim finish so he didn't try to use it. Fights with ghosts in the composition: the mental loop of press-stim -> notice ghosts are selected -> press tab -> press stim takes legit 2 seconds. That's why army doesn't move and multiple storms hit. Once storms hit, panic sets in and furious move-commanding ensues. Also, once panic has hit, stuff like spreading becomes impossible because your mind already shut down. And once mind has shut down, the rage sets in. Yup, been there. So. Many. Times.
At least you're honest about it :)
Stimmed marines are the fastest unit in the game dood. Move commanding without stim is essencially suicide.
29:40 friendship ended with turret.
Now depot is my best friend
Haha, that was my thought there too
If EmL did not make ghosts, he probably would have won.
I love how he keeps scanning for DTs on top of turrets.
Well, maybe the turrets were to busy looking for the cats.... You know, those birds need some protection, don't they?
Hahaha, YES. This was my favourite part that Harstem didn't commentate on. Does he know that scans don't do damage? They can't save your orbital from DTs. :P
I'm here to stan for hamster and thats it
Harstem's great content is just a bonus
me too, im also a harstan
@@Willdroyd Hamstans rise up ✊
@@fulldisclosureiamamonster2786 “Hamstan” made me laugh waaay harder Than I think you meant it to.
Ya know "Stan" is about a murderous stalker right?
@@SenseiRaichuss not really but k
In the 4v4:
Toss: I’ll be going airtoss obv
Zerg: RUSH RUSH RUSH
other toss: I’ll cannon rush to help Zerg
Me, as Terran: 🎵tank and turret🎵
"Dear Harstem" - best words to hear every Thursday
3 expense reports to do. Numerous conference calls. Emails to send out. Is it Imba or do I suck drops.....Cancel all my calls, I have a priority emergency to attend to.
"Tank and Turret, are best friends" Great, now that's stuck in my head! ;p
cognitively limited turtles playing chess needs to go on a T-shirt in the Harstem store.
With that adorable turtle stamp
I'm frequently astounded that so many IIODIS games are in Diamond. Like, where are these people when *I* play on ladder, giving me MY free wins!?
This is how you play too :D
If you do not meet them, most likeley you ARE them .... The alternative is: Matchmaking is very good, unless you deliberatly mislead it, the matchmaker will present you with with enemys that fit your Playstyle, so to meet the MDTurtles you have to be one of them ...
@@archangle2988 yeah, gotta love the good ol’ “I’m in blah blah league too and I play waaay better than that!!!”, and just causally implying that they should be ranked as grandmasters.
@@MrShitthead Still not impossible that he's right though. Maybe he's a Dune 2 veteran, who now decided to switch game, and already was quickly rising ranks, only slightly slowed down by unlucky match making. He could be the new world champion soon.
How do you think I feel? I’m bronze and I’m way better than this guy
the turtle stamp is adorable. please make this a permanent declinced stamp.
19:57 great work hamster!
EmL: I’m a bird and cats are IMBA!
The cat line had me dead!
Tbf they are, though. IMBA and cute.
I assume you suck at flying then. Or maybe the cats in your area can jump really high.
In the player's defense, they asked if they sucked more than their opponent. Turtle asking if it sucked more than another turtle. That question, at least, seems valid and something you could answer. Love the vid!
24:31 I love how he stims right after the fight is over hahaha
IMBA because ghosts take priority over M/M and Tab button too far away.
"I don't think Canada has much oil." -Harstem 2021
Top three countries with largest oil reserves as of November 2020:
Venezuela - 304 billion barrels. ...
Saudi Arabia - 298 billion barrels. ...
Canada - 170 billion barrels. ...
Is It Imba Or Am I A Cognitively Limited Turtle
TANK AND TURRET, ARE BEST FRIENDS
"If EML was a bird he'd really struggle with cats" might be Harstem's greatest line yet
Thanks for the vids Harstem. I appreciate your insightful analogies. And props to Hamster for the edits. Its easy to tell he put a lot of work in.
Wow the Dutch guy is becoming a regular on Reynor's show
@3:00 me: -Take your hat off! That's the IMBA stamp!
@14:10 "Why do you want to go to war with Canada? There is nothing of use that you can get there. I don't think Canada has much oil."
28:35 Every time Harstem did this I died laughing 🤣
I just love how the video editor roasts Harstem when he incorrectly criticizes the player.
what I find very unique and outstanding for this episode of IODIS is that, aside from many other SUCKy aspects of his play, the Terran actually had a pretty solid macro and unit composition and adaptation.
If not for hs terrible unit control and several illogical decisions/engagements, he actually played on the level of someone at least 1000 MMR higher.
Most popular children's show in the Netherlands: Tank and Turret are best friends!
17:15 - where the game was lost.
The Terran accidentally move-commanded instead of stutter-stepping, leading to immense army losses. Otherwise he was just killing the toss.
But wait... he was actually still with chances, until 21:12.... MY EYES !!!
Looks like winner submitted the replay.
I think that's the standard now. Just bragging, people are cringe.
Might be 10 years too late, but someone should link the terran player to Temp0's All I Do is Stim song to give him some good ideas.
One game alone will never be enough to prove imbalance. Also, absolutely everyone has room to improve and "sucks" to some degree. IODIS could be renamed "How Everyone Sucks".
Shoutout to those storms honestly those templar were doing WORK
Canada has a ton of oil, nuclear fuel, rare metals and about 10% of the worlds renewable water
This guys move commands are to die for
13:33 probably the funniest moment to me :D
GG Cap, thanks for the great IODIS episode again!
Just burst out crying there as well
Friendship ended with turret, depot is tanks new nest friend.
>Has a button that lets him see any part of the map
>Calls observers a maphack
He clearly has his Ghosts on the same hotkey as his Marines/Marauders, and doesn't realize he needs to tab in order to use stim. I can't believe this is 3.3k.
Lol that bird comment, I'm dying man. Laughed until I cried, that was the tastiest sarcasm.
This series is the BEST series of SC commentating i've seen. Keep up the good work !
I think it's criminal that Harstem is having this much fun
Your turtle analogy is just awesome….. I’ve never heard better analogies in my life…… it’s been a short lonely life but so far best analogies/stories/immaturity/imagination from you dearest friend
Spellcasters on a different hotkey or stick with a comp and tab to the right unit. This guy is probably better than me, so I have to assume he doesn't notice he doesn't stim when he owns Ghosts. He just looks back and thinks it wore off already which is why when he *does* stim, he does it every 5 seconds. I can only imagine this is why he doesn't build a Raven to kill the imba Observers. His Ghosts would suddenly stop working.
I actually had to pause within like 30 seconds to vent to myself. The submitter lost to Zealots (ground melee), Colossus (ground+air anti-ground), High Templar (ground splash caster), and Dark Templar (ground stealth melee).
There’s this wonderful unit called a Banshee that is actually almost invulnerable against that composition, while also having enough mobility to avoid the caster effects. :) And you can even mix in these other units called a Raven and a Viking to safely find those pesky map hacking robots and assassins.
13:28 Those medivacs knew what was coming and decided not to get involved in that fight.
best first 3 minutes ever :D the turtle chess talk made my day :D
I need to see 2 turtles playing chess
This is the most arrogant and funny SC analogy ever. Love it :D
Saying "map hacks" while having scans and sensor towers XD
Oh my god I laughed so hard my sides hurt when he landed those vikings.. the look on your face. HAHAHAHA
As a Dia Terran I simpathize with the struggle to stim. Ghosts have a higher selection priority than Bio. You might forget that and be wondering why your stim hotkey is broken in a fight
Only if your keyboard is broken.
Getting a new Tab key is not rocket science....
@@MrNicoJac wow big brain here
those guys are not medevacs, they are coroners - they are here only to confirm time of death and say "he's dead, Jim"
A super insightful moment in this game happens at 21:05 video time that really shows the difference between a pro player and a regular Joe. P has just lost 2 colossus for free a few moments earlier. That's obviously bad. But it wasn't super bad, because the rest of the army was not immediately at risk as a result of losing them. The real fight was still a few seconds away.
At 21:05 Harstem gets a lot more interested when watching that flank coming in. That's his focus. Meanwhile, T is focusing on taking out the base. Harstem notes the flank coming several times, reinforcing where the focus should really be. A moment later we see why, and here's the key point: Harstem reacts with a desperate groan *before* the storms are cast. Before! Because of his experience, he knows what's about to happen. And unlike the loss of the colossus, this *is* a critical moment, because the whole terran army is put in danger because of the way it moves, and indeed the whole terran army gets wiped out by the combined splash damage of the colossus on the high ground (now lasering with absolute impunity because the tanks were left undefended) and the psi storm that the terrain practically begged to be cast.
Notably, Harstem wasn't saying "this is a bad attack, strategically". No, the attack could have been fine. The problem was the specific micro in response to the specific situation. The rush of blood to kill a base, the loss of situational awareness.
My intention here is not to say "the Joe should have seen this coming the way Harstem did". No, Harstem is a pro player with orders of magnitude more experience. I just think it's a perfect example of just how much more is going on in the mind of a pro player.
It's actually a classic diamond/platinum Terran move in TvP. HA! FREE BASE! NEED TO KILL!!! And usually they trade an army for a base. One time I asked a Terran what did he trade the army for. The answer was - don't know. I am shocked by this, because this was a thing in WoL, HotS and still is 10 years later in LotV. Same with drops, they trade the drop for low damage.
Like this replay had it all - sacrificial useless late drop. Had he returned with few killed probes, it would be a good damage. But nah, let's sacrifice the drop into the main because reasons! :)
Fun fact, Canada has one of the worst largest oil deposits and the largest amount of fresh water
NPCs in stealth games: must have been the wind
Canada is just an escalation of the US server dishing.
When I saw the medivacs not healing the army that was being stormed i died.
Hamster, your use of excessive "!" instead of plain dots is just mind boggling.
I know! Right?!!
@@hamster_designs My mind is usually quite boggled, so do not take too much offense!
"Better APM" - obviously only when nothing was happening.
the fact that this is diamond makes me want to take a stab at being a intellectually limited turtle again
I think you invented a new type of stand up comedy :)) so much fun … better than a “friends show” - mentally slow turtles - epicc
I smashed like as soon as I saw the Imba stamp. its beautiful
When no micro at all is still better
Umm Kevin, Canada is the world’s fourth largest oil producer
"If EML was a bird, he would really struggle with cats" is possibly the funniest thing I've heard in IODIS
27:48 Thanks Hamster, that could be really helpful
The impa stan XDDDDD
*heroic music plays*
That turtle metaphor was brutal and hilarious and also true
I was just now watching Scarlett vs DRG's BO3 (that one where she offraced as Toss), and I just saw you jumping in excitement after Scarlett won the second match
100 supply at 10 minutes with no damage to econ, matchmaking working good
This type of videos make me hopeful of reaching higher leagues someday.
Good marco can get you far in SC2.
@@jtsyo8364 I just died to 26 lings through a nydus @ 5 min so good macro can't always get you wins but yeah, I agree it does get you further than stupid cheese ever will
@@alexsavastru8125 Good routine for scouting, not getting supply blocked, and spending your money to stay below 300/300 will get you to masters, fellow zerg companion ♥
"A game of chess between two cognitively deficient turtles."
Please Hastem, some of us are eating. Seriously almost choked. 😂😂
does any1 have a link to this "imba-confirmed" video mentioned in the beginning ?
Protoss Mass AIR unbeatable!? | IODIS
haha I love how he zooms into the units...
Harstem: 'Am I a turtle...' F*CK that was the wrong start but I will finish this one! '...or is it imbalanced'
Poor vikings watched their friends die but were safe from zealots until terran player ordered them to die
I love how much fun he has creating the analogies
The BO looks like a ViBE B2GM one for bio. It is ok if you suck at micro (like I do) and you want to just try to outmacro your opponent. And the drops are glorified scouts in that scenario. It is good to get macro skills, but as you advance in leagues you need more micro of course. But that doesn´t mean you can´t suck while using it. :P
typo in the info popup at 27:44 - of should be if
awesome video btw.
Very informational and funny!
the turtle stamp is cute tho
14:10 - Uhh, excuse me, Captain, but we have the THIRD most oil IN THE WORLD. Number one is Venusela, number two is Saudi Arabia, and number three is Canada (we overtook Iran in 2018 to take the number three spot). For comparison, the Netherlands is number 63 and the US is number 11.
Why do the turtles have to also be cognitively challenged on-top of being chess playing turtles? That's a bit mean Harstem.
I want a reversed iiodis. Hamster presents, Harstem uses prompts. :D
I'd be very curious about how those would look when the King of Premiere himself does them xD
27:33 Thank you Hamster!! :D
This is a diamond Terran? They don't even need to try. HE DOESN'T USE STIM! WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL
Calling observers map hack is rich from someone who has scans. :D
like the turtle stamp
9:50 This is just savage.
An 8 marine drop for two probes.
Yeah, you suck 😆
23:56 im surprised this guy isnt getting flamed for his continuous absolutly useless scans.
We call it ding dong ditching
hehe harstem says hope its not suck awhile he is smiling and then i skip to the end SUCK!!!!!! XD am like deying of loughter
when was the last time hamster awarded an imba stamp
My depression went away for 33 mins 58 seconds. Will recommend!
That opening burn...
