Harstem: “Clem, whatever you do, don’t compare this game to previous games, it will throw you off…. Anyway, this game is way worse than the last game.”
The last game was on the host for not mentioning the lack of Bronze players during the replay/ discussion. Don't penalize Clem for not knowing stuff like that. Luckily since it's the first game of the season you can apply the same rule to all players, anyone guessing Bronze can up their guess to Silver 3.
Aight we're back! Thank you guys for the production level, it's superb! Wanted to share a couple of thought - 2nd game, i would ranked zerg as gold 1 bc that helion defense... That ain't it my brother in creep. Since we're rating terran it'd be fair to give him 1 rank higher i.e. plat 3 i guess 😅 - 3rd game again i rated zerg as plat 1 bc it looked like my typical plat1 ZvP game, in some aspects better: dedicated midgame attack on max supply and with moderate bank which gets deflected, and some time later protoss with a tailored composition storms his own army, then proceeds to steamroll my army with minimal losses anyway. Again, since we're supposed to rate Protoss, it's fair to give him 1 rank higher, diamond 3 😊
It's a banana Harstem, how much could it cost? Ten dollars? Props for the Arrested Development shoutout. I just started re-watching it and it holds up so well.
You need to add the Rank Roulette thing in the thumbnail. I would not have noticed this was an episode of rank roulette unless my friend had pointed that out
My score: 4 It's interesting as a low-level player getting such a good score, my lack of knowledge might have helped. guess 1: not floating, decent crisis management 280+ apm consistently on both sides, despite pressure both sides macro and get upgrades. My guess: M2 (+0) guess 2: I guessed d3 just because terrain was at least getting upgrades, and teching towards banshees while harassing where I imagined Plat and low diamond to stare at their hellions especially when getting so much value. I just ruled the entire zerg's oor defense to panic. My guess: D3 (+3) guess 3: I can relate to this zerg as a plat Zerg. it seems like these players focus on macro, but at the same time the Zerg upgrades are a little dodgy. The Zerg seems to just be going for a maxout and hitting. The toss didn't micro away from Biles which is bad, but I can see that happening in a plat game. My guess: P1 (+1) guess 4: This is the kind of stuff I know silver and gold players do. They watch a pro game, and think they can just do it. Not realizing they should not finish the e-bay, or gas, and that a gas block isn't a big deal in zvt. Plus the fact that the zerg didn't know how to deal with the ghost puts them below G1 in my opinion. I went with G3 but I knew it could be anywhere from S2-G2 (although at S2 and below I have a hard time believing that the terran would be able to have a gameplan like that and execute it within 6 mins) My Guess: G3 (+0) note on APM based on my limited experience: GM: 250-350+ M1-3: 200-330 D3-D1: 130-270 P3-P1: 80-200 G3-G1: 50-150 S3-S1: 25-110 Some players rapid fire everything so if you see one player with 500apm, and the other 150 apm, that's why. Zerg has higher apm than terran (I had over 100apm in silver, and over 220 apm in plat due to being a fairly fast zerg for my mmr) If zerg is playing ling-bane, also adds to some apm.
I liked these guesses but I might give you some advice, chaotic games generally look lower level than they are case in point last game where the player was gold 3 and looked like bronze 4
Changed the scoring system? Correct = 0 points and off-by-one division should be 2 points, right? Why change it to 1? Reduces the benefit of "exactly correct".
That is correct. The score system got slightly adjusted this season. The previous system never REALLY did what it was intended to do but confused a lot of people instead - even after multiple seasons. So after some lengthy discussions we wanted to test this simpler and more straight forward one this season.
@@hamster_designs The downside being that you now cannot compare the results of this season to the previous ones to calculate the GOAT, for example, which is what SC2 discussions are usually about.
I was today years old when I realized that Hamster & Harstem are anagrams of each other... A bit on the slow side there. What's not on the slow-side is that I ended with a total of 5 points this episode, even guessed the third game at exactly Diamond 3 *insert flex emoji*.
I got 4 points. The diamond game was pretty obvious to me on team comp alone: aint nobody below diamond building roach ravager hydra lurker. They out there sticking to two unit types
Didn't you guys change the point system again? Then i think we should recalculate old scores for "deflation" :D (It used to be 3 points for off two right?)
1. D1 2 2. P2 1 3. D3 0 4. S1 1 Being D3 makes it often easy to compare, being in the middle of the pile :D (and yeah micro is only something terrans think is needed here. Macro is king)
Hi Harstem As some guesses are and replay are harder than others Have you considered at any point the cup formula? From the start there are two contestants and the best get to the next round? it would eliminate some variance due to outliers replays and can some interesting dynamic through the season
Felt like a mid tier plat game to me, macro was alright, upgrades were going, spelcasters were used to somewhat decent effect, micro was very lacking. But to be fair that’s not far from D3, plat is the smallest league iirc.

Hamster is amping up his game, holy creep! Awesome episode and production!
That last terran was ready for the base trade, when he builds a CC on the opponent's former main he'll already have the 2 gases
5000 IQ gaming
Lmao
Hell yeah Rank Roulette is back!!! All of the new graphics and design work is really really well done Hamster
Harstem: “Clem, whatever you do, don’t compare this game to previous games, it will throw you off…. Anyway, this game is way worse than the last game.”
Glad someone else caught this lol
I don't know about that as a rule but you definitely don't compare with a game where your guess was like 9 divisions off 😁
While he was saying that I was thinking "sounds like the biggest load of crap I've heard".
clem in his ivory tower thinking "why they even change that disruptor nova that thing never hits anyways?"
Right?! 😂
From what i could find, the MMR difference between Harstem and Clem is bigger than between Silver 3 and Diamond 2
That's savage
Oh, it's Kybrit. Context for those not knowing, Kybrit is known for giving WinterStarcraft money and aneurysms in equal measure...
Damn... Should have saved him for Winter then ^^
All the names of the players have been changed. This wasn't really Kybrit. It was a reference by Hamster. :)
@@mh1593 Why would he do that? people want to see their own games, makes no sense, you sure?
@@boliveto they say that on the video in an editors note.
@@mh1593 The note said the player names are hidden for both contestants, not that the names were changed
these intros were so good. had me remembering the old intro inControl gave Harstem. 9 feet tall, 9 foot something else. truly the captain.
Tournie money has clem going from surfer to lord farquaad in a few months
Production level goes up every year, nice work!
I rate this as gold 4, like Clem!
Please keep them coming
Season 5, here we go!!!
"Perhaps the greatest thing to have come out of the Netherlands, if you don't count cheese, your boy Harstem" rip lowko
The legendary Kybrit strikes again
Winter would have lost his marbles in Game 4. And then get a PTSD Vietnam flashback if Hamster revealed the name.
Great that Rank Roulette is back, thanks!
Season 5 here we gooooo!

I was rewatching S4 just today thinking "when is the next season coming?"
Incredible
Aight we're back! Thank you guys for the production level, it's superb!

This show was where I found Harstem, so glad its back!
New Lift Goal, get to bronze, submit a replay.
Liked, Commented, and Wanting for more.
Also, holy cow Hamster is cooking with these UIs, keep it up!
Glad you guys enjoy it ^^
New season of rank roulette AND you have the world champ in episode 1. take my like man. clem is such a cutie :3
Amazing new graphics and designs! Good job Hamster!!
It's a banana Harstem, how much could it cost? Ten dollars?
Props for the Arrested Development shoutout. I just started re-watching it and it holds up so well.
15:15 i came back and played identical to this from silver to diamond so good luck to the audience lmao
Clem is such a cute french boy
Yeah he really is a sweetheart
He doesnt seems french
@@ignacioledesma6919 clem is french
@@МарсельМарсель-т9ч I know, thats why i said that he doesnt seems like one, because of how chariscamtic he is
Epic layout and editing as always.
Especially like the hex point tracks and player camera spots. Sharp.
Hamster you absolute genius
Good luck and have fun, guys!
8:10 ya, VERY dodgy! Those drones dodged right into every hellion flame thrown at them. x'-D
I can't believe this series is back! so hype
1:06 "Very interesting ! Wait you were talking ? What did you say ?"
Clem rocking the PartinG-Hairstyle :D
Welcome back rank roully! Been hoping this would be back!

Glad to see another season
My score: 4
It's interesting as a low-level player getting such a good score, my lack of knowledge might have helped.
guess 1: not floating, decent crisis management 280+ apm consistently on both sides, despite pressure both sides macro and get upgrades. My guess: M2 (+0)
guess 2: I guessed d3 just because terrain was at least getting upgrades, and teching towards banshees while harassing where I imagined Plat and low diamond to stare at their hellions especially when getting so much value. I just ruled the entire zerg's oor defense to panic. My guess: D3 (+3)

I went with G3 but I knew it could be anywhere from S2-G2 (although at S2 and below I have a hard time believing that the terran would be able to have a gameplan like that and execute it within 6 mins) My Guess: G3 (+0)
note on APM based on my limited experience:
GM: 250-350+
M1-3: 200-330
D3-D1: 130-270
P3-P1: 80-200
G3-G1: 50-150
S3-S1: 25-110
Some players rapid fire everything so if you see one player with 500apm, and the other 150 apm, that's why.
Zerg has higher apm than terran (I had over 100apm in silver, and over 220 apm in plat due to being a fairly fast zerg for my mmr)

side note, no pro is ever gonna gas steal a Zerg in a TvZ, Zerg doesn't need gas in the early game so it just puts you behind
Good guesses man. I had m3/d3/d3/s2.
Very upset that neither of them noticed the toss storming their own archons in game 3
+1!
Game 1: M2 0
Game 2: D3 3
Game 3: G1 4
Game 4: S2 2
Total: 9
bummer you beat my score
I think if one of those was a Florencio play, it would melt their brains.
This video is so well edited.
I love it!
Glad to see Clem's rocking that gandalf hairstyle....awesome episode but clem dude, get to the barber ASAP dude.

Who isn’t rooting for Clem this year!?! Great episode!
Ahhh my replay moved in and I get slaughtered by harstem and clem xd
I got 4 points. The diamond game was pretty obvious to me on team comp alone: aint nobody below diamond building roach ravager hydra lurker. They out there sticking to two unit types
Wild third game, that was such a trick
when you are gold 1 yourself it is quite obvious to you that 3rd game was far above gold 1 :)
God is good. Rank Roulette is back.
6:24 that’s it buddy. When Clem inhales and calls your reaper micro “so good”, can retire happy.
clem be like "mmh i think this is a 4k gold player"
I miss Bronze League Heroes
Id love to send in a replay but unfortunately i don't actually play the game
Re : THat final game: T buildings being built have zero armour. Completed buildings have armour.
Clem visits Starcraft Grandpa!
Rank roulette is back!!!! Hell it’s about time!
Didn't you guys change the point system again? Then i think we should recalculate old scores for "deflation" :D
(It used to be 3 points for off two right?)
Yes, it is one point less for every non-perfect guess compared to previous seasons.
Didn't even notice. I guess that makes a 10 more like a 14 of the past.
looks like RR is back on the menu boys
1. D1 2
2. P2 1
3. D3 0
4. S1 1
Being D3 makes it often easy to compare, being in the middle of the pile :D (and yeah micro is only something terrans think is needed here. Macro is king)
Hi Harstem
As some guesses are and replay are harder than others
Have you considered at any point the cup formula? From the start there are two contestants and the best get to the next round?
it would eliminate some variance due to outliers replays and can some interesting dynamic through the season
Clem doesn't know what linking park is lol
Funny enough he might actually, because they came back recently with a new singer and did a song for another esports thing
IT'S BACK, IT'S BACK!
Clearly, Harstem as the host of the show should have given better instructions to Clem, so Harstem should be the one punished in points... :D
my guesses watching this realtime:
1 m3 m2
2 p3 p3
3 d3 d3
4 g3 g3
Harstern should be punished for not telling Clem about bronze beforehand
huh so that's why i got placed as a silver at the start of my journey at 2020 good times.
9 points for me (1-1-6-1). That's a lot better than I usually do. I'm happy :D
I guessed plat3 in game 2 lmaooo i called it perfectly
Clem is very good with english for his age.
and nationality.....
I love Clem
Rank Roulette Let's goooooooooo!
D3 , G2, P2, S2 - my guesses.
Game 3 being D3 is WILD, I don't see how it was that high
Felt like a mid tier plat game to me, macro was alright, upgrades were going, spelcasters were used to somewhat decent effect, micro was very lacking. But to be fair that’s not far from D3, plat is the smallest league iirc.
zerg was maxed out before 10 minutes you dont see that in goal
* gold
i missed u Hamster
Was I gone? xD
@hamster_designs yes! ajahahha didn't hear you for a long time!
how did they end up at gold for round 3 the protoss was using storm and oracles ^^
I guessed the third match dead on
Got 4 !
The last game was just bait to guess as low as possible.
20:39 shit I was proud to be in Silver 3 after my placement matches 😂😂
I now understand why Silver and gold suck that much today
We are so back! (also lets cut Clem some slack and give him the 10)
Yeaaah season 5!!!!
Yes lets go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
World Champ for round 1 is a pro move
Lets be real, best thing to come outta the Netherlands is stroopwafels.
So far, second and third game I'm spot on :D
Clem's hair looks awesome
that kid has the frenchest haircut
CLEM IS SO CUTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
In game 2 terrans be like "Queens are OP"
WERE SO BACK
