I love these high-level IMBA complaints where you really look at the nitty-gritty of it. They compare themselves to Serral? Prepare to get compared for real!
Cathartic seeing F2 complainers getting torn apart by a 3-prong co-ordinated attack, while the complainer is unresponsive on 2 fronts and STILL getting outmaneuvered on the 1 front they're focused on. 😎
For real, the Protoss play is so sick... I'm myself a fan of chargelot-archon-immortal, but I didn't know it could carry to Grand Master with a bit of multi prong attacks.
The guy said that toss a-moved him while in the game toss created a zealot runby and warp-in while rotated his army and zerg was f2-ing back and forth to deal with these threats lol.
Zealot runby is the easiest runby to execute though. But yea how someone reaches master without being able to use 2 control groups is impressive. His micro must be dark tier.
@kurt7937 awesome, excellent point, can you explain something for me? I am somehow in the master league, but I have played less than 20 ranked 1v1 matches. My first 5 ranked matches I lost, my APM is less than 30, why in the hell did the game start me in Master league?? Please some insight would be great, and how long do I have to wait for demotion so I can play more comparable opponents, and does this often happen? Is it how they start every one?
@@matthewcaskey1051 lol. Likely due to mirror matchup, high mmr player not wanting to play ZvZ or just people deranking to stomp. I would either start a new account, if you don’t mind waiting to play ranked, or just queue up 20 times and leave the game instantly. Pretty lame situation. It’s normal for your mmr to start in plat, you just got unlucky/lucky with leavers I assume. It sounds like you’re around silver so it’ll take a bit. The demotion activates each season but does nothing realistically speaking, all that matters is your MMR, if you lower that you can have some fun. Sorry that’s your experience so far, but welcome to sc.
At 6:55, as Harstem moves to the Protoss to see if they are making any mistakes, he misses the probe following other probes in the mineral line, instead of mining
Prism was the stupidest thing this entire match actually and maybe stupidest thing he ever done. Should of died without even the Zerg looking but his queens were idk
@@Name-ru1kt the fuck you talkin about. The queens were obviously fighting the immortal army and slapping a prism there is 250 minerals, which is cheap as hell, and potentially killing half his main. Its one of the best moves
The Protoss still made some big mistakes and was lacking on the macro side. At a few points in the game he was floating 1k+ minerals and a few hundred gas AND was supply blocked for at least a minute total. Which is okay, because he wasn't the best chinese amateur protoss player.
Did you notice how the Zerg in the minute 3:22 plays with his/her drones to mine faster? And the way how the void ray moved to avoid all the overload? it is like the Protoss remembers every position and the sight of the overload, I was very impressed. Definitely a very good game, I laughed a lot with the commentary and edition!!
Did you notice the overload movement? Did we watch the same video? The captain specifically called it out and highlighted it. Did you watch this muted?
@@MrJinsue what is the point of being a jerk on the internet? do u feel better now? Yeah, I heard it but still I was impressed and I commented about it, chill out mate!
Captain, I have to admit I have been watching a lot of Uthermal lately, and not even 5 minutes into this video I realized I missed your sarcasm and wit more than I could have ever known.
Dear Harstem thak you sooo much for these videos i have been going to some ruff times and this always cheers me up. You made me start my starcraft journey and i am happier then ever. Keep it up i wish you all the best lets get to 1m subs ❤
I like how Harstem is criticizing the Z for supply blocks at 12:00 while P is hard supply blocked at 125/125 for almost 40 seconds while nothing is happening
It's because the complaint submitter claims to be the best chinese amateur whatever. The guy also compared himself to Serral. So Harstem is putting him up to a higher standard.
@@N0noy1989 But the toss is also higher on the ladder. It't not as if he claimed to be good and lost to worse players. I mean if it was imba as he believed then it would put the toss at similar mmr as the zerg so the toss should be hold to the same standard. Anyway it feels liek the only consequential mistake in the whole game was the zerg loosing rock paper scissors by sending his roaches alone into the immortals.
@@tnnetnattninuttn4627 It doesn't matter because the player complaining here is the Zerg, not the Toss. The Toss didn't complain about the game being imbalanced and didn't ask to be featured in a video, the Zerg did. This, together with what the others have commented, is why the Toss gets much more lenient criticism.
this one gave me an idea for BGMWSS challenge you have to wait until you get supply blocked before you're allowed to build another supply structure/overlord and you're only allowed to build one supply structure at a time. but if that's possible, maybe two at a time? or whatever until it's not impossible to win?
That Zerg was a fool to have submitted this complaint to begin with... His opponent is *(nearly) 500 (FIVE HUNDRED) MMR points above him !!* ... ...while the Zerg also has the audacity to mis-label his MMR as "5400", tho it's evident from the replay that he's actually 5200 ... :P Like... seriously *WHAT ?! :O O_o* This game felt more like a subtle brag, type -- *"Look how well I did against a player that's 500 mmr above me !! I survived for 11 minutes !! :D"* -- than anything else... .
I dont play ladder. If I were to guess, Id be in mid gold. But if you get supply blocked twice. Twice. before 9 mins, how can anyone say you have a perfect early/mid game?
The picture of the forearm was attached for the reason of showing just how *STRAINED AND STRONG it is, as demonstrated by its bulging veins and sinews !!* This *MUST* be a demonstration of the Korean/Chinese's proficiency with the mouse and keyboard !! :D P.S. *OR,* it's a reference to the "one-punch defeat" mentioned a few times in the complaint form... !! :D .
I couldn't find the right part of my math notes for a trigonometry question on an exam, so I found a protractor (angle-measuring device) that I had not used in 3 years of high school and just measured the angle so I could continue on the problem. The teachers were not impressed. I'm sure I got the right answer though!
i am chinese protoss with 5300mmr, this amateur protoss in video baotou is my friend, we always think soy（takanashi） is best amateur zerg in china（5600mmr）. No idea who this zerg is . And there have other strong cn amateur zergs around 5400mmr, no idea how can he call himself strongest cn amateur zerg😅
Harstem is cool UA-camr imho. I love his digressions when he starts talking like a bruised man and keeps going about some nonsense for like 1 or 2 minutes :) his videos are fun to watch simply. Besides that saying about professional youtuber is weird. It is like saying that a steak is professional food, but a banana is amateur food :D
Are you wondering what the picture means? Punch: an attack One punch: an extremely aggressive attack, usually has to do with an all-in So the picture means "the Protoss did this to me"(made one attack and killed me)
i hover like what, 4300 4400 or so a-nd have played people 5K + , but i swear t hat 99 % of that is down to mostly the fact I spend my larva way faster than people lower than me, its like I will some times sub-optimally build some lings or drones or whatever, but ultimately where I am at it was not as important as NOT spending them at all , attacking/ micro Q-z, Q-e, Q-q, q-h, just building and tasking, as long as you are just not floating and hit your benchmarks and get around roughly ballpark 55 drones or more at 5 minutes, 60+ at least by 6, just setting targets on watching Pro games and aiming to be at X Y Z at certain times, it just doesn't matter about anything else half the time and you just climb by sheer virtue of not leaving money on the table.
I fking love your content mate. Most people annoy me, you don't. Keep calling yourself and others a prick please - it's funny. I'm an absolute platinum noob terran but I watch more sc2 than I play because I appreciate how awesome pro sc2 is. I play when I am bored and I have a dirty cheese that I use 90% of the time. 1 trick pony but I don't care. The hate messages amuse me.
i'm considering taking up StarCraft again for the first time in +10 years. . just so i can call myself the "best Amateur player on the North American server".
It's like I always say about protoss "STOP BUILDING SO MANY STALKERS" equals win. balance is based around a high stalker count because there always is a high stalker count. So just don't build them, instead have 5 immortals and you win. Colossus better than archons though. And if zerg isn't building banelings, zealots are going to do big damange.
Harstem always way over-exaggerates how bad building a bunch of ovies in a supply block is. It's much worse as Zerg to not use larvae in a supply block, since it's really bad when passive larvae production stops. Protoss can't bank production like this, so in a protoss supply block it's better to spend cash on more production, or spam static, than build 7 pylons.
Whenever someone mentions how great they are, I always wonder what their win rate is. Like if you're the #1 amateur, you better be crushing on the ladder. But I suspect that's never the case.
Don't worry Harstem, you're the greatest amateur Dutch youtuber I know
There's actually some stiff competition there 😂 Lowko and uThermal immediately come to mind hahah

Nah, the dutch just tend to not beat around the bush
I searched for best Chinese amateur Zerg after this. Apparently they are all young girls. So clearly he was lying.

This was peak IODIS comedy
I actually got baited by the title and thumbnail, GG Hard Stem.
GG Allen
The brief "Yep pal this really is IMBA" green stamp at 8:32 really caught me off guard.
That drone transfer was pretty funny tho. I bet even the toss was scratching his head.
He thought the noob basher was just the right decision
It's ok Kevin, you'll always be the best Chinese amateur zerg player in our hearts.
funny thing is his drones ran behind the archones and arrived safely at the one hatch that could get attacked.
Decided to test f2 a move theory.
Just got a bunch of lings in my base.
But we'll keep testing
Congrats! You are as good as her0 now :-P
