    "Terran is the race, kind of by default, for true people. And I'm not saying that to be funny, I'm saying it because I'm braindead" -Harstem 2023. Man i love this edit, good job hamster!

    Dear Harstem,
    I am a Diamond 2 player on the North American server, and am the greatest gift to StarCraft this world has ever seen.
    Despite this, I frequently find myself losing to my opponent’s units. This is peculiar, because it implies that I might be doing something wrong. Please tell me why all of my opponents are imbalanced.

      You got a point, you are an amazing gift. I worship your replays. I also installed harmful malware on your PC that allows me to see your games so I may be glued to the screen at all times whenever you play. I can confirm all your opponent's are imba.

      If your good with bio you can beat that.. add some mines ahead of your army.. nix move fast and crumble to some.. also If you had some tanks behind the mines.. could catch them running to pickup the tanks with the mines and rines.. once the nix fold.. use tanks viking.. on cols and keep the bio in the back to save them cause if you have enough rines they will shred the interceptors. If you think.about it pure marine will beat nix carriers, you just have to get the cols b4 they get your rings essentially.. it's ez:) * I'll also add harstem is right your could outmacroed more.. more barracks factories.. sometimes keeping it slightly more simple works

    Dear Harstem,
    I just started playing and always pick the xenomorph aliens. I make ants and use the blood bath. When they keep playing I use the curvy bat or the spider that does the line of spikes. If I get bored I make the umbrella that shoots ants or the wooly mammoth. I'm only winning 95% of my games in the GM section, how do I win 100% so I can get the best ending?

  • @vmgNarra
    @vmgNarra Рік тому +2

    Vikings will always lose to phoenix carrier in a straight up fight. If you are going to play mass viking, you need to snipe single units and then run away repeatedly while covering them with marines or mines so the faster phoenixes don't just catch up and kill them all (watch how maru does it)
    The only terran unit comp that can fight this head on is mass BC. You could use your bio from the early game to keep the protoss occupied and on as low eco as possible while taking a fast 4th an teching into BC at that point.

    Yeah protoss playes are really strategy masterminds, if they see bio the make splash. If the see mech they mass immortals and skytoss. While in any case being up in bases. 👍🏻
    Protoss units are so bad that you only need to control the spellcasters while a moving the rest, so hard😅

  • @Cheng798536
    @Cheng798536 Рік тому

    I think this combinations works until diamond 1 or maybe lower master 3.
    Concept are When Terran core bio units are not spread Before engage colossal really performs like siege tanks with higher splash range. Marine will auto shoot Phoenix Because they are faster and therefore closer to marine with same hostile priority like colossal. And when marine fail to kill all Phoenix before colossal killed them. Kiss goodbye to marauder And medivac Where both heavily countered by Phoenix.
    But if flank attack is done. Marauder tank colossal shots And trade with other toss ground unit or maybe get lifted by Phoenix where in reality is protecting them from colossal splash And minimize charge zealots damage. And marine bad stab from behind kills colossal Because due to their fire range they are always the most further back unit in the toss ball. The GM clearly knows the right answer is flank attack,but he just did it so poorly that the results is negative micro , even worse than whole army stim A move.
    Maybe this army composition create more advantage by fewer micro requirements with better results for protoss than Terran. But i think when you are a GM you shouldn't try to use that as a excuse to cover up. Quit complaint against a unit is platinum graduation. Quit army composition complaint is diamond graduation. For GM player it's unreasonable to say it's IMBA because you know the answers anyway.😂 But i think we all like to see that if even gm think it's IMBA. It added more credits for lower leagues player with the same point. This is a great game and great IODIS episode. I would rank this my top 3 episodes of the series.

    As terran player i think so little Terran players realize Battlecruiser is only direct counter to carriers in late game especially viking dont do the job when is enough carriers especially with bad vehicle armor upgrade when is 3 attack carriers vikings dont do the job anymore .Bc in this will be good call in this game :direct counter to carrier, Phoenix not even scratch and so much supply will be dead in collsouss.And when Prottos player swith to tempset just go back to vikings is comicall but paradoxly terran had air superiority over toss and so much Terran losing to skytoss, especially in lower leagues where game dynamic is relative low or games are slow, where they can easily setup BC, raven composition ..

    15:00 it never feels right to me that the graviton beam can pick up and stun vikings. Is that really lore accurate? the vikings can fly themselves, being in the air should not bother them. I think the graviton lift, should trigger their transformation sequence and make them airborn, and leave them in fighter mode.. Could you change that in the next balance patch?
