Lmao, youtube put in 13 ads.
Big shoutout to the boys who watched them.
Removed them manually now, sorry for that ;)
Still got 14 ads here in UK captain 😂 enjoy your well deserved ads I suppose
Hamster removes ads on purpose so his viewers don't have to watch them, every other youtuber would put in more ads
Thank you harstem
YT AUTO ADS IMBAL
No worries, YT found another batch of ads to put back in...

Dystopia to the max. Love this!
@@nicholascox9547 He's being sarcastic but that is verbatum what he said lmao

liked your reaction when maru gged, hamster, keep it up my dude
no such thing as mistakx or wlx, doesn tmattter
@@zes3813 u good homie?
Soooo sick
GG Harstem. Maru is a beast and you were so close.
You'll get him next time.
At least Harstem can call himself the best Protoss in EU, seeing how Showtime just get absolutely wiped by Maru in the round of 8.
@@tigera6 Uhhh... if that's how you wana calculate it, then how do you factor in Showtime beating Serral?
@@tigera6 Thats just dumb
@@tigera6 It doesn't necessarily mean he is better, it just means the play style he went with against Maru matched better than Showtimes approach. Builds and playstyles matter at all levels, but are especially important at the higher levels where even the smallest advantages can compound on each other to tip the scales, and the smallest mistakes can put you on the defensive for the rest of the game.
He got him now hah
2-3 vs Maru is some serious shit poop man, much love from the UK
HE DID IT. THE MADLAD. BEATING MARU WITH STUPID STUFF
Dang harstem i didnt know you were good like that. You've been getting a lot better recently.
The series vs Maru was beautiful.
I was astonished how well you played!
(tbh I expected you to get rolled over 3:0)
Thank you for nice show! ^^
I love how he prepared specifically against Maru and analysed his play really well to come up with some great counter strategies!!
Harstem these play by plays are top notch. Hearing your thought processes has helped my game immensely - clawing my way into diamond 2 with an old man's APM.
I've lived to the day where the Harstem Hour covers a Harstem Series
Really cool of you to review a game that was difficult for you
Super cool to see you in action vs the best of the best. You put some serious effort into practicing and although you don't have to be satisfied, you should be proud with the results. Keep it up, I want to watch your journey to the top.
This video is more than an hour long. Is this even legal for this series?
This kind of analysis is great to watch! Thank you for sharing your thoughts so honestly.
This format is just phenomenal! Such a great thing to hear from an actual pro and his own thoughts. And delivery is very nice as well. Keep it up!
Thanks a lot for the analysis of how you played, your fails, and your successes. For me a mere mortal in SC2 it helps understand why pro players do what they do during the competition. Would to see other analysis like this.
45:06 My favorite part of the video!
Thanks Harmstem. I really like this format. You're playing at top form and we still get the great Harstem commentary :)
"... that's how you create a better world" lol so hard ... that's why you gotta follow Harstem and watch his analysis
Harstem, I love how you prepared specifically against Maru and analysed his play really well to come up with some great counter strategies!!
On one hand, Harstem is real-skill, and hearing a 1st person tactical and strategic POV is soooo cool; on the other hand, this would be super cool to be commented on as a "Is it Imba, or do I suck?" style video. In a perfect world, we would have both videos, rather than one or the other, : ).
Missed the livestream, so i am super glad you upped it here and talked us through. Nice games and love the analysis. Thx bud
45:05
This face... )))This is definetly the MEMish face of this tournament)
God bless you, man, it is always a pleasure to see your live reactions))
Harstem's reaction at the end of game 3 though...
This is the quality content I subscribed for
Sorry there was a typo
Super proud of you Harstem, loved seeing you have some great success in this series. Just wanted so bad for you to win the series. Can't wait for the next tourney you're in.
Hey Harstem!
I watched that banger of a close game on SC2HL's channel.
The funniest part was 1 guy in the comments wrote: "wow when a player like harstem is taking a game not to mention a series from a player like maru you know there is something deeply deeply imbalanced about the game. jesus hire back david kim what have they done to this game" 😂😂😂 ♋♋♋
Love your dedication to the game, and to creating great content for your fans :) Also the casually explained style deadpan humor is (almost) always on point lol. Very enjoyable analysis dude
oh god your reaction when you win that game i never saw someone so happy
Thanks very much for sharing, it really felt like you put 100% heart and soul into it!
Keep training mate you’re almost there.
Your insight into the games helped fill in a lot of context! I always watch games vs. koreans and assume the non korean was out classed. Hearing what your thought process and what you would have differently really showed the difference between the top is just these tiny choices. Amazing! Can't wait to root for you at the next one!
Loved your analysis, good games, congrats!
45:00 Thats how someone looks like if caught by suprise. Had a nice laugh, love this reaction :D
I’m really enjoying these tournament videos that you have posted :)
Lambo said it best, game 3 of this series really was a banger! Credit to Harstem for keeping his composure during that crazy game.
Veeery nice, and proof of a strong character to share your insights in game as well as in hind sight Mr Harstem!
Omg that second win was amazing. Hope you learn more, get better, get better micro. Harstem defeating Maru would have been highlight of 2020. Really amazing work, and really amazing analysis against Maru. You should probably be more secretive with what you say about high level opponents like this. High level analysis like that is a gift you don't want other people to steal.
Thanks a lot. Those were impressive games you played.
Eagerly awaited this video since seeing the gg reaction
26:50 "This guy's not insane, right?"
Your opponent here is Maru, I think its a given that Maru is 100% insane. :p
Looking at your reactions from this game and based off other games I've seen from him in the past, I feel like Maru probably gets in to people's heads a bit with his play, makes them feel more threatened than they actually are, and forces bad engagements that way. That's really interesting, because while he's an absurdly good player, half the challenge feels like its staying calm against him, recognizing he can't have everything at once, and realizing when you actually have more time than you think you have. Even with all your experience at the game, it feels like you're constantly being pressured to put more in to the main fight than you need to/commit everything, when the right move is often to stay back or pick off reinforcements while macroing up. That really explains why from a caster perspective, Maru wins so often when he's behind, if he just is a master at convincing his opponent that they need to walk in to bad fights.
GJ Harstem, you had him several times. I don't think they play phoenixes in Korea that much, but after this one maybe they will :)
There is a reason they dont play it that frequently, because if you put 20-30 supply into Phoenicis, you dont have a ground army and a 2 base Terran push can wipe your base off the map in 5 minutes.
@@tigera6 You've got a point but it's all about surprise, isn't it. Maru was put in an off foot two times and had to blindly counter the phoenix at game 4. If I were Zoun or HerO I would like to scout Maru asap and have the element of surprise. Bottom line, I think a great approach from Harstem. You simply do not play standard against Maru.
@@meeshuSC2 Actually early Phoenicis build has become popular in recent months, even in the GSL. I saw Trap and Zest did this a couple time, its becoming more a standard build, although still not as popular as the 4 gate blink stalker build in PvT.
I do agree that Maru got caught and did not react properly this time around though. Also, another thing would be that Maru often went too greedy with early 3 CC expansion allowing the Phoenix to do damage to his army and economy for too long as well. If you see the later game Harstem play against Clem, Clem just push out at 2 CC before Harstem even get any robotics unit out, and it was gg.
You keep it up. You are getting so good you are going to be world champion! Your biggest enemy is yourself xD pretty sure those guys have an intimidate aura for SC2
Good job your honestly the best youtuber
51:55 Wow, first time I've ever seen someone just walk mines into the mineral line. Usually see them dropping from medivacs.
good job Kevin, good result nontheles
Game 2 was one for the books! That was a great series! You will get em next time
very nice, loved this vid. more selfcast reflections like this please!
The perfect counter to anyone who proxies is to counter proxy to blockade them in their main. Don't attempt to kill them but starve them
As soon as you hassle the front of their main they are forced to fight their way out off one mineral patch.
They have no information on the size of your forces so they have to make a large army to fight their way out.
As long as you send one unit to scout the map and kill their SCV they cannot expand.
You want to start mining a second mineral patch as soon as possible.
The sooner you start mining your second mineral patch you can outproduce them.
Even if they do manage to fight their way out you should be so far ahead in resources it should not matter
Even though you lost the series, but everyone sees that you have put great threats to him throughout this. Not many players can do this to Maru and I think your pro SC career is in a good direction. Keep it up :)
That's what I've been waiting for the last 2 days.
favorite starcraft player, rooting for you man, so proud of you for taking 2 games off of maru! 💪💪💪
*Harstem hour is an hour long*
HarstemYT: What the heck is this
Harstem, we need more videos like this!
Its way better than you roasting diamond league players on their poor play
lol that surprise win was an awesome game
Me: what do i do against Carriers?
My coach: You die.
To go toe-to-toe with Maru like that is quite an accomplishment. The guy is a beast and one of the best in the world. GG’s!
This is my favorite podcast
Seems like Maru is saving his god-like micro; and just spam Turrets instead. But when he needs to win, he brings out his A-game.
Remember that group stage game where Raynor tried Code S. It was very clear, he went God-mode when Raynor took games from him.
Hell yes Harsteem! made my day man.
Man that game was really something else!
That live react at 45:00 hahaha
Close series, well done! You'll get 'em next time
Baby you a rockstar! Is Maru IMBA or do I sock? Seems socks are IMBA too. I'm playing in flip flops tomorrow to check.
Well played, was amazing to watch.
Good call on choosing strategy for the last game. Why bother with the winning strategies if you can go for the loosing one and hope to do better. Love the content, great job vs Maru, Harstem! Get him next time!
Well played mate!
You got a water bottle, progress. And yeah, it's somehow nice to see even better players mess up their plans and get carried away in the middle of a game. We all make mistakes.
Con gratu fucking lations brother!!! Well deserved win!
Close BO5 vs one of the GOATs. Good shit.
18:20 oh no u harstemed it again!
I saw that video on lowkotv lol. Grats on win lol. Although as a Terran Main i was hoping Maru would win.
Dear Harstem,
Protoss is completely OP. All they need to do is produce a load of Phoenixes and you can't do anything. They can roam unchallenged, eating up your SCV line and re-enforcements until they can get out the mother of all OP units: the carrier. Is Protoss IMBA with their AOE, air and super units, or do I suck?
Lots of love, Maru
What an epic game 3!!
Taking two games from Maru is sick. Lots of respect.
Cant wait for Harstem to punch Maru in the face for a good disruptor shot 🤣
Come on captain 2021 is your year! Btw why is need above you on the liquidpedia page for the tournament I thought you done better than him?
So impressive, wp Harstem!
Harstem hour but it’s an hour, who are you
You should re-watch this replay to remind yourself of these learnings and re-match Maru, would be interesting to see how you developed in 1 year.
great analysis
And I finally finished watching
Great game harstem!! Loved your reaction
FINALLY WE HAVE AN HOUR!!!!
What an incredible video! I don't think I ever have seen a pro player comment on their own tournament series. Really great to hear what kind of thinking goes into these matches.
Maru is a beast. "The kid is not bad at video games." You gave him a real challenge! Well played!
Oi Captain! It felt like charge was quite delayed throughout the series, even in games where you had the TC built. Was that intentional? Feels like chargelots would've helped to break some of those contains / drag mine hits / etc.
Would Tempests be good at 33:30 or is there a better way to break a siege line like that? Plz be kind I am Plat and dropping
YEh
Depressing Saturday today, so closeeeeeee games
Well played captain, I was rooting for Maru, but you really almost did it.
maru really really didn't think Harstem had the balls to commit to the armada
Oh, boy, I thought you're just regular talking some shit to the microphone guy I enjoy to watch. But ur actually good at starcraft. Believe me, I know. I play starcraft almost two weeks. So from gold3 I have a clear perspective.
Nica game Harstem!
Hi . beautiful games! at 32min and 39 sec, you broaden your vision .. how to do it? thank you so much !
I think you fire and forget too much with disruptors. When MCanning uses them, he spams right click with the novas till they pop.
Watching Maru always makes me wanna go ladder, but this time watching Harstem take games off Maru made me want to play even more.
We almost had him there captain!
Been waiting for it!!!!!!!! GG Harstem!
yes mr poop man make us fellow protoss players proud good job we will get those koreans next time
WOW you almost had him. Unbelievable. Game 4 should have been yours. That would have been 3 - 1. Sooooooo close. But then again, you were about to gg in game 3, so perhaps this outcome is fair. Next time you'll get him.
Before I watch this, I have to say no to this full hour of the Harstem Hour format. The Harstem Hour is meant to be watched two to three times to get the full hour. Now we're rapidly approaching a situation in which I have to break up the Harstem Hour in order to consume it properly. This is basic math: less content equals more content. I will now watch the entire hour of the Harstem Hour.
The full hour!
