harstem i have a stupid idea for a viedeo can u let a game get castet and both player hear the cast but the caster dont know would maybe be funny or maybe not

[@danielskrivan6921]

Harstem & Hamster: I started watching this channel because of IODIS. Rank Roulette is now my favorite show on this channel. You guys do a great job. I think a big part of it is how much fun you're having with the series. It's infectious. Your guests have all been great. Keep up the great work!

[@Sara_Feingold]

Yeah, very cool show, and it's impressive to see how they refined the format from season 1 to make it even more enjoyable to watch :D This, IIIODIS, Cheesiest Man Alive, and SC2Day are the only SC2 things I watch because I don't even play this game but Harstem & Hamster do a great job of having fun and giving out some education :)

[@wuzzzzzzek]

Oh. Only when you typed it I realized Hamster is an angram of Harstem. Do Hamster even exists?

[@danielskrivan6921]

@@wuzzzzzzek Before Rank Roulette, most of us didn't think he existed. But that's his voice.

[@Sara_Feingold]

@@wuzzzzzzek Can any of us really say who exists? Perhaps we're all just dreams in someone else's mind, blissfully unaware of how fake we all are.

[@JurijLasic]

I initially thought that Harstem is editing all it all by himself, you know, getting almost the same nickname... but now I can clearly tell that Hamster is a highly talented editor that makes us smile a lot, thanks for that :)

[@allenamenbesetzt]

13:25 Harstem: "this guy controlled his reaper for a minute straight and wasn't floating a ton of money." 9:45 Meanwhile the Terran had 1000 minerals at 4 minutes.

Thats how the captain plays terran too so he sees nothing wrong with it obviously :^)

If i had a penny for every time solar lost his army to a nuke, I'd have 2 pennies That isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

[@danielskrivan6921]

Better than Maru, where it's his own nuke. That was only once though.

[@zbyszanna]

@@danielskrivan6921 Yeah, only once, but it certainly is worth at least a whole pound.

[@WeAreCatZ]

To address a few comments: I can definitely be competitive and activate a large ego, and while I want to win; I am not hyper-invested in my ability to predict people's leagues , more than anything to me this is about just banter, creating exciting moments in anticipation, having fun and putting up a good/fun show. By no means am I BFFs with Solar, but we've played a bunch of sc2 together, shared strategies, skype groups, met irl, played card games, and even shared a room at a Blizzcon. People assuming we're unfamiliar, that's not the case. Sadly we can't see each other's cameras during recording and that means judging body language isn't an option. I think that much of my sarcasm and dry humor for the most part went undetected by him and as a result I think I come of as a little more abrasive than I would've liked, apologies to anyone who feels offended on his behalf.

[@josefanon8504]

to me it just seemed like some banter and good fun :) dont worry

[@callelx]

Don't worry CatZ, you are awesome, keep being yourself! We all love you for that.❤

[@zhimzhim3547]

Friendly banter and good moments from both of you. Laughed the whole episode. Do not worry about some people without sense of humor.

[@BhuliBhuli]

And a good, fun show you produced. Harmless jokes and banter is what makes this show so entertaining. Keep it up, good luck on the next round 🐱

[@Beanybag2]

I lost my shit laughing at your sudden swell of overconfidence, especially when it almost bit you in the ass haha. It was such a contrast to your quieter focus from your first episode too, the success went straight to your head, i love it!

[@dotquack1]

solar has ungodly beyond-grandmaster micro skills that none of us can comprehend

[@You-ul8qw]

I gotta admit though in that first replay I was getting Diamond 3 vibes. I dunno what it was maybe the building placement but it just felt like Diamond 3.

[@miavolosss]

Solar does actually have some of the best micro in zerg. Especially ling micro he has some of the best around

[@mareksicinski3726]

well there are big differences in micro between pro gamers, Solar plays a lot of ppl a lot higher up than ForJumy

[@SaiKisaragi]

He was just freeing supply.

[@chaoxyz8183]

​@@You-ul8qw Nah, the second I saw red pull off the proxy stargate with on a relatively tight timing while defending the proxy gateway and counter-attacking all at once, I knew it was at least Masters. There is probably not a single Diamond player able to successfully multitask 3 things at once.

[@JP_Rockets]

Solar's reaction to losing his entire army to a single nuke is pure comedic gold

Holy shit what a meme of an episode! Catz dunking that unexpected GM first game, Solar getting roasted over two army-killing nukes from games just the past few months, and Catz nearly throwing those two middle games, and that confusing last game. Weeeew! Also peak video editing, episode was that much funnier.

[@ryfors]

Hamster you are such a master of making Harstem look funny. I really look up to you. Great episode, I lost it on the disconnect one

[@hamster_designs]

[@henryviiifake8244]

10:50 Wow, Harstem. You didn't have to do him like that 😭😭😭🤣

[@mar_sh4617]

Thats hamster doing that actually in the video, although bringing it up was harstem. Im pretty sure that game was picked or saved just for solar though because its pretty funny.

[@meandmyself1600]

So much roasting, feels like an IODIS/Roulette crossover. Well done and also great editing by Hamster again!

[@Riondrial]

After watching this episode, i now know, that the next season has to evolve into what this episode showed: 1v1vHarstem. After all guests played once, Harstem has to add all his points and divide these by how many rounds he played. Depending on the result, he can brag to many or just some guests. Well, whatever it will be, it will be a feast.

[@avsbes98]

This. 100% agree.

[@luukvankrugten7253]

I have never watched this series but it was so much fun. Its so nice to see a Korean player in a show like this because normally you only see them win and never really see their personality. Also the banter in the show is great. Such a fun and interesting idea for a show. Keep it up

[@KeppyKep]

This was a great episode. Harstem continually roasting Solar throughout was hilarious

[@ZDarabos]

26:39 you can see that Harstem never opens that curtain. No fresh air, no sunshine, true pro gamer.

[@AAkCN1]

WOW! The editing this episode is just in point. Awesome production quality. I think I'll rewatch it in the coming days

[@alexanderzaugg4484]

Game one just shows that pro level pvp can look like bronze league heros haha. The trick was how good the micro and spending was

[@mareksicinski3726]

it's more that solar has higher standards for micro, this isn't pro level in korea or at least not GSL level

[@andrerocka8135]

Or the adept shade blocked by the pylon, you don't see this in high pressure situation in metal league

This episode was incredible. It's been a long time I literally laughed loudly in front of a video. Thank you Captain, Solar and Catz.

No need for a cliffhanger! Ill be here next week unless something kills me til then x) Great show! Id love to see a season 3! My favorite episode was still the one with LowKo because of the crazy matches you were watching, Hamster really outdid himself there.

[@geuros]

OOoooh so gooood :D the first one though - they can see the APM not? Those were numbers completely out of reach for Platinum 1 whoever :D

[@codyheiner3636]

LOL, Solar's guesses had me dying with laughter!

[@danielskrivan6921]

17 Points. Would have lost to Catz, but did better than Solar. . . . R1: M1 - 2 Points (between Catz and Harstem, like Catz said, there's nothing to the left of GM, so I erred to the right) R2: P1 - 4 Points (was thinking like Solar's first guess, either D3 or P1; same as Harstem guessed) R3: M3 - 2 Points (things looked *almost* right, but there were just enough things off, was debating M3 or D1) R4: M2 - 9 Points (Like Solar, I got anchored by Harstem's play)

[@hamster_designs]

Damn... That last one really got you doubling your points ^^ We were not too sure, if this could really throw people off, but apparently it did :D

[@danielskrivan6921]

@@hamster_designs It's only fair. I'm pretty sure that in my game (Round 4 of Solar's regular season match), my opponent was a smurf.

How did these two make top four

[@halahmilksheikh]

This is why we need to allow 1 game to be dropped from the score otherwise there's too much variation/luck involved. For example, Pig was one of the best contestants but he got dumpstered by 1 bad round. Also allows more leeway for weird but entertaining games since it's less punishing overall.

Honestly how was the first game that high

[@jacobsvensson8193]

With weird games like that the build orders fall apart completely, you pretty much have to go on the unit micro and resource management alone. Also the difference between a low GM and even the worst players qualifying for DH ro32 is really wide, a low GM can look awful in comparison to the elite players. Oh, and it was on NA aswell
