All Time Record Holder ARTOSIS vs Season 1 Champ LOWKO - The Grand Finale | Rank Roulette Season 3

The discussion for the second match was the best. Artosis saying "Alright, hold on, I got this." while Harmstem sees Lowko's guess in disbelief and then trying to hold in his laughter when Artosis continued with "[...] if I see a 2 come in from you [...]". Then Lowko revealing his guess and Artosis commenting "[...] I was like "I'm gonna crush him, he's gonna put something dumb like Gold 2" [...]" and that ends up being Harmstem's guess. 🤣

I was watching the second game and I was like "man, this game feels so familiar! I bet this zerg player is in the same league as me", and it took me a while to realize that was the raplay I sent them 😆 Loved to see my game on the show! Thanks for all the videos! PS: yes, I have serious issues spending my resources and I don't know how I still manage to win games

[@jacksonmcdonald5443]

Have you considered building macro hatches?

[@black_squall]

You really bent me over on that one, i've never seen such disregard for spending resources in diamond Lol

[@xitaris5981]

@@black_squall As someone who just reach Diamond, I can assure you that GM players aren't being hyperbolic when they say that Diamond players have just figured out the very basics of how to play. If you learn the basics of how to macro, you can get to Diamond without scouting or micro

[@ushift]

So inspirational, really makes me want to get back into this game. If you can make it to diamond anyone can :p

[@broodlingg]

lowko passed

[@Alloran]

Artosis and Harstem's committment to the idea that zergs do not have to macro is what really gets me here, Lowko is trying so hard not to get baited. You can feel years of suppressed anger bubbling beneath the surface.

[@benismann]

no irony tho. I tried terran - holy crap making units is so stupid hard it's unreal. Not to mention u need to build shit where units are build, like wtf is that how is this playable?

beautiful stuff! congrats lowko! artosis, youre looking older than than someone born in 82. retirement is knocking, you've done good work

[@darnokx9277]

Hilarious, and excellent entertainment overall! Thank you for another season. Now just do Lowko/Artosis/Harstem co-ops, they are just THAT good.

[@chrisliu7334]

talking about the last game, there is a famous uploader on bilibili named 大刺蛇 aka the gaint hydra. He is a gm zerg player who always uses the 2 base swarmhost against protoss after his early game went wrong. Apparently there is a lot of zerg player flowing her style.

[@MKu64]

I do this as well - however I have to be honest (just purely assessing this game and not attempting to compare to me) - the micro of the SH of this player seemed very low for that build - just all SH launches / no locust micro / nydus was late etc. The DTs are a problem of course but it wasn't a good example of what 'can' be done with this build.

[@chrisliu7334]

@@MKu64 true. This build became some sort of meta build at the plat diamond league on the cn server

Artosis can always try casting the ranked roulette...

[@xTobsecretx]

We really need to see a game from Winter’s low APM challenge runs sometime

[@timothy5403]

If Harstem and Julie Roberts had a child we may just have a world record mouth

[@kurzackd]

that "Gold 3" game actually demonstrates a serious flaw within this otherwise AMAZING idea of a series... ...namely that a lot of games might come from otherwise really strong players who are climbing the ladder from a brand-new account, and thus, -- -- still have a lower placement than the one they actually belong to. Thus, any serious attempts to accurately predict the league / division would be in vain...

[@SaulGoodman3D2049]

That's kinda why it's Rank Roulette, not Solve the Rank. You're never gonna get the full picture from a 2 minute clip, especially from a game like SC2 where skills develop asymmetrically. We could just be seeing the best or worst 2 minutes of either player's performance, or there could be hidden factors in the early game that could throw off your guess, like that Gold game in UpaTree's episode where both players thought it was much higher than it was because they macroed really well (because as far as the comments could tell both players left each other alone for like 20 minutes). And this is all assuming there's no external factors outside of the game, like smurfing, or climbing the ladder with a new account as you've mentioned, or trolling. Just like a casino game, Rank Roulette is stacked against the players, but that hasn't stopped some from having great scores.

[@kurzackd]

@@SaulGoodman3D2049 you're right of course. Still, I think it would be to everyone's benefit if such cases were as rare as possible.

[@Ljokerz]

9:38 Artosis was about to pick his nose lol it was kind of removed, also Harstem talking to loko the moment loko takes his head set off -_- he cant hear you bahaha

[@NikksTV]

This series is one of the best on youtube purely because harstems commentary

[@rodrigoff7456]

Not even a 4 page winner's speech ready? C'mon! 😜

[@IAmBael]

The takeaway from this is that if there seems to be a big difference in skill level between the two players, you should (probably) always go for a league fitting the lesser player. A player is more likely to be in a league below their current skill level, than in a league higher than their current skill level. A player can also have a very good aspect of their gameplay, such as a clean early game, but be terrible at other aspects, like mid-to-late-game transition and closing out games, which will more often than not lead to them staying in a lower league.

[@bencheevers6693]

Really like Arty and I was rooting for him, happy to see Lowko succeed though and in the end not watching Harstem's amazing content, especially his premier I^3odis series, really got Arty and that's a good lesson to learn. How could he pass on that content it's friggen amazing?

I wonder if next season you should have the main season include two guests per episode as well. It could add a lot of banter to the show.

[@xitaris5981]

I think the biggest thing the Rank Roulette proves is that people are actually wildly inaccurate in their assessment of other players :)

[@ToTheNines87368]

It’s funny how these players are so good they have no idea what lower league play is like from bronze to diamond. 😂

good shit season 4 when ?

[@ToTheNines87368]

What is Harstem talking about? The second players were way better than the first. The reason the first players weren’t floating as much was because of the bad eco 😂

23:53, round 3. Okay, I'm going to go ahead and call this complete bullshit, protoss if he is in gold 3 , then he is 100% smurfing. I'm diamond 3 EU toss and if there wasn't my reluctance to put tech structures in the wall in PvT and the fact that I don't like disruptors and I have no skins, this protoss player could've been me playing. Absolutely serious.

I haven't played starcraft in over 6 months, but I strongly suspect the second game was me. A lot of that game felt very familiar, and all the mistakes highlighted were the usual mistakes that I make. But to be fair I guess a lot of games at my level will look similar to that. Either way, it was exciting to watch!

[@Norzel7]

My guesses were d3, s1, g3, and p2. 10 total. I expect my queen-sized solid gold trophy in the mail by next week. I want to say hello to my mom, and tell all of my fans that what brought me here was not hard work, but sheer, pure luck. Git gut, nerds!

Would love to see a rank roulette where you just throw an absolute wrench into the guessing and just use a bunch of IODIS replay submissions for it (perhaps come clean and put the submission text at the end to prevent people getting too salty, and call it a special unranked episode outside of the regular season)
