Too bad Harstie's response to anyone is "well he didnt play like a gm so he just fuckin suck!" What's the point in anyone sharing their league/mmr if the answers always just "macro like gm or die"
Agreed. Less is more. Editor nailed it this time. No weird guitar sounds or too much random info. Just a nice little % that was cool to follow and a shot of last weeks failed wall and stuff. GJ Editor
You know what Bready? You're the best so far. It's true that you made mistakes, but it's also true that you did several good things. Take the free coaching, improve those things and you'll get to be an excellent player. You're already a good player, you can do this.
Agreed, the fact that he didnt straight up cry about imbalance, and basically just wanted to understand how to improve is a sign of someone with good potential
@Jackson Seiter This video Harstem put out. Sure it's fun and entertainment for most of us, but Bready actually gets his mistakes pointed out and how to improve on them.
I believe he is doing something else when the roachs are moving up the ramp, so he didn't force field the ramp, it just so minor mistakes that makes him lose the game
As a zerg player, I still love brrrrrring protoss players. Never gets old. It's like drowning someone in garbage. MY garbage. Edit: I want that "PERFECT" meter for my ladder games.
I want to see my %perfect score whenever i watch my replay. This edit was really really good. especially liked 8:41 syncing up the keystroke sound with list switch feels very nice.
I love how you went from "Yeah he's doing okay" to "you just stood there while a car was barreling at you and complained in the hospital" to "Are roaches imba? No you just suck my friend". Hahaha
Useful way of gauging if what I died to was imba is to see how much minerals I have in bank. In other words, if I have 1200 minerals and die to an all in, then it's clearly my fault for not spending that money on units.
Another way to think of it -- what if those resources in the bank was 3 more immortals? If he had 3 more immortals and a handful of zlots against that roach push he would have decimated those roaches without a fight
14:15 I've been executing perfect movement all road and was scouting the map left and right, but I just couldn't stop my opponent's car push at the 4:30 minute mark. No matter what I do, I end up at a hospital! Cars are OP! Please nerf!
Hey Harstem, as everyone I've been loving the content in the last few months! I was just wondering if it is you who is adding all of those effects and overlays on the videos? All the edits are really stylish and add to the quality of your already amazing game knowledge and commentary. Love you.
IIRC it's a guy with UA-cam channel HamsterDesigns that offered and started doing these for the more recent IODIS vids. IMO it was a little intrusive on the first video but it's getting better, overall his work so far is really cool :)
Vince Lombardi "Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect." ... Or the Harstem-Perfect-Meter ... brilliant idea! Shout outs to you Harstem and your editor. THANKS!
I really liked the "printing roaches" thing, along with the drawing:) . Its true as Protoss i am alwoys belidered by how many roaches a zerg can throw at you. On the other hand, with proper units comp (immortals most important), you can as Protoss kill them as fast as they are spammed...
Love the style of the report card and echoing everyone else's praise on the awesome new editing paired with the perennially awesome Harstem commentary, great job!
He also didnt use the supercharge when attacked.... These days hwen i see roaches i drop a second robo fast, then build up my immortal count and its usually enough. Ah keeping the presure is also important if he doesnt attack, so he doesnt get time to switch to mutas, cause fun fact, immortals dont shoot up...
Used to play sc2 a lot and was mid masters years back and am thinking of returning. I see the game has changed a lot but the fundamental still hasn’t. Scout and use your resources (macro) will win your game over over-microing till this day. I’ve noticed in low league people try and copy fancy stuff / builds from pros too much and forget their core basics. Yes build orders are important and micro is, but in low league macro is far more important.
micro got a whole lot more intense since lotv, one isnt superior to the other, they really go hand in hand more than they ever had. id take a look at printf, he's a good example of winning on micro alone. a good, well structured rush will destroy anyone who tries to focus on macro before micro. im one of those guys who used to win on macro alone in masters 3 a few years ago too, im now a pleb in mid diamond.
Hmm... If I were to give just one suggestion for him to improve on FIRST, I think it would probably be: don't get supply blocked. It happens multiple times throughout the game, some cases forced (i.e. opponent destroys pylons), and, in some cases, unforced (just blatant forgetting to put more pylons down in advance). Harstem's analysis is solid: his "panic reaction" needs practice.
I wandered here after seeing Harstem in a couple of casts. This is very useful stuff, in the meantime it sounds very harsh. I know, it's not, just sounds like. For transparency: I've never played a minute of this. :D
@@AAGEnzee Might be "Counter"...I translate everything into German after I read it, then memorize it and translate it back in to English before I write it...so there might be some loss of accuracy in my quotes of famous persons of contemporary history.
It's REALLY hard to micro in Red Alert when only 3 tanks can drive over a bridge at a time, and the rest decide to drive all the way around the ocean instead.
How do you know when to have a given number of gates? Harstem said at 6:00 that he should be up to 6 gates. Why? How do you know how many gates to have?
Before I even watch: Last time I checked, roaches can’t shoot up and immortals counter hard. I stay curious. Edit: Was right. Barely air, barely immortals.
I lost a game and it was clearly IMBA. I was going to send you the clip, but I figured I have seen enough of your videos I would save some time and just do a summary. I played perfectly, literally SCII God, but I lost so clearly it is IMBA. You then point out every single thing I did wrong. End result: I suck.
I'm a diamond Zerg player and playing against toss is really fun cause you always make like 40 zerglings and attack him then you make 30 roaches and attack him again and then you build a bunch of hydra lurker and toss cant do anything. 5 out of 5 would recommend
Just started playing again after 10 years, and at this point, I know I suck, but ... there is this sick fascination that I almost want to know how bad, but that may actually be too much for poor Harstem, my current score is 5/2 against the AI, is it IMBA or do I suck?
Yea so I've been here many many time. It's just need more practice multi tasking and keeping tabs on all your buildings and still have the map awareness to forcefield against those roaches when they attack. I would actually debate that he's scouted. It looks like he scouted but he didn't know what information to look for so thats essentially not scouted. The information about seeing only 4 gas and knowing that something aggressive is coming is the piece of info he was missing and that's why he didn't react.
loving this series. I can't tell if the quality of games have gone down or if people are just lying about their ranks. I think in wol or hots these players would probably be plat.
I'll have to send in a replay. I can generally tell that my protoss opponents are playing this badly, but struggle identifying what I should do better. I know I suck tho but somehow it's a blindspot purely for toss.
Just a question: I'm new to watching Harstem. Protoss is the only race I don't play, and my Protoss friend suggested him. Can I have a basic run through of what the "Is it IMBA or do I suck" series is? Edit: Grammar
People submit replays of games where they thought they did well but still lost. Harstem figures out if the opponent's strategy is imba or if the person sending the replay sucks.
I like how nicely it's worded. No full-on complaints about "roach imba", just "I am not perfect, and I need help."
What a guy.
Pretty sure he said he was near-perfect, as well as complaining about holding r
