[@thomasgrams9715]

I cannot stress enough how much it makes me smile when harstem is talking about how good of a position he has, only for him to get blown out of the water almost immediately after the words leave his mouth. As if on cue. Simply amazing.

[@Thund3rstorm]

The good old "I don't think I can lose this game" into the defeat never gets old 😂

[@sakesaurus]

he has a knack for comedic timing yeah

[@danwelch5913]

Happens to the best.

[@derpysean1072]

"It is impossible to lose this" - Harstem

[@princess_love9929]

The snake makes it really easy to see the build order! XD

[@sakesaurus]

Imagine if they were placed as far apart as they are according to the supply

[@simi752]

Laughing at the sneaky sensor tower in game 1

[@tarvoc746]

Yep, I just wanted to ask: Doesn't that have to be part of the snek?

[@joeldorrington7898]

Yeah he said only refineries and ccs are exempt

[@sc2youtube744]

Yeah haha it took like 5 minutes before he noticed

[@tarvoc746]

It does seem to me that this does have a few advantages, like making harrass in the main a lot harder. The disadvantages seem to come from the strict adherence to it because it takes attention away from other things, but if you loosen it up a bit, this seems like a semi-valid strategy for building placement.

[@bencheevers6693]

Fun animal fact for you guys, Snakes can hover their heart and liver and swap their locations, this helps in thermal regulation.

[@hugepriapism3377]

they also move their heart when eating large prey to protect it. Also the little pibe they protrude when eating is their windpibe, they push it out so they dont suffocate when eating

[@calebstimpson4412]

Beating Grandmasters But It's 1998: You can't rally workers to mine straight away. If that's too easy, you're not allowed to hotkey buildings.

[@XanderCrews4Prez]

You can only control group 12 units!

[@luminica_]

I think making it so you can build from any CC while also forcing refineries to be part of a snake would be hilarious.

[@sakesaurus]

tajt sounds so inconvenient

[@derpysean1072]

That would be called the worm strat. Which Zerg already has, and is inferior to da snek.

[@wild_shaman]

Next time "beat grandmaster playing tetris with my buildings" please.

[@mothra727]

do all the buildings get destroyed if you make a line?

[@wild_shaman]

@@mothra727 exactly!

[@Wwillswords]

​​@@wild_shamanokay but how big would the line need to be

[@laward5225]

Opponent scans main 4:45: What am I even looking at...

[@halqthedarktemplar]

Harstem discovering the discord thumbnails

[@eulefranz944]

I want more of the snake! In tvz it will be very funny to see the zerg struggle to runby

[@HexRox]

Multiple snakes should be allowed. Every CC is a starting point for any snake. So if you want to proxy you need a CC to create a new snake.

[@derpysean1072]

Has anyone tried to build exclusively on base borders? I call it "Da boxx strat". My 2500 MMR is not enough to execute it and not melt my brain though.

[@onyxthedark]

I swear if Harstem keep winning with this, Terran players are going to copy him

[@ArcadiaCv]

5:35 You cheated not only the game, but yourself.

[@qweytrop572]

it's impressive how the snake destroyed every reaper harass

[@ProxyGateTactician]

Harstem!!!! The man the myth the legend

[@0NBalfa0]

The bg3 channel with info I don't actually know is watching harstem

[@ProxyGateTactician]

@@0NBalfa0 lol my name is even a Protoss reference you should have known!!

[@0NBalfa0]

Yeah, for some reason I never fully read your name. I would just see your pfp and the name shape without actually reading anything other than tactician. XD@@ProxyGateTactician

[@Joppsta360]

That mine hit was filthy hahaha. BGWSS idea potentially? The bait challenge?

[@rustyskeleman]

Always a sucker for creative building placements.

[@michaelrusso8033]

Alright, let's get one thing straight: an old Nokia can NEVER break.. Great games as usual, though.

[@chir0pter]

18:31 lmao

[@sfire21xm]

I just realized this shows your opponent your exact build order as well.

[@FantasticForce23]

For centuries scholars debated to challenge the snake jumping down like a reaper vs using the ramp to this day no solution has been found so the meta is to copy harstem the father of modern snake

[@zes7215]

no such thing as chadx or bigx or imporx or etc, bigx, talx, musx 1uferiox bloat, doesnt matter

[@itsjustaname7311]

you, captain, are the only one person left that gets the giggles from playing starcraft II in 2023 ... what romantic memories that raises in me, arrrr!

[@erkistan]

idea1: launch at least 6 nukes at you enemy at the same time. Idea2: aim for the least amount of units lost by constantly healing, repairing or regenerating.

[@FantasticForce23]

Sorry Harstem I was already thinking gold player when you didnt seige tanks in the first fight.... then you said it. So this is ok now.

[@Cylindryk]

You say that you play snake, yet you still placed that expansion CC outside of order? That is not cool! :(

[@locmorningstar2740]

BLASHPHEMY!!!! Nokia can not be broken.

[@basicuser54]

@harstem if you get these ideas off a viewer you’ve got to plug them! Or did you think of this one?

[@JoducusKwak]

that single mine is now a hero unit in my books ... you should build a shrine for that mine out of depos the next time you do this chalange and give up when it gets destroyed

[@metalblobfish9178]

Good video! You should do the mass mines BGWSS again!

[@victornunes900]

No voice over intro? Who are you and what have you done with Harstem?!

[@MRBOOOYA]

I'm the worst SC2 player you will ever meet lmfao

[@AADNinja]

Harstem! Idea for the immortal. Weaker, cheaper, builds faster, shoots up. Perhaps with these changes there could be some rebalancing of the attack animation. (Not being able to shoot up makes me sad)

[@jeffreywarf]

You mean bring back the dragoon?

[@canijustgetanamealre]

How about a tournament where the players can make only one or two unit types?

[@wernerviehhauser94]

Old Nokias don't break. I tried....

[@darklajid]

Did I miss the point where a sensor tower can be standalone? 😐

[@ledrash6079]

5:38 Is this sensor tower properly snaked? :)

[@djinn_tseng]

now this is a cool bgwss idear

[@Supergoon1989]

You might have done this one before, but I love dropping landed vikings out of medivacs. It's so stupid! like, they can fly on their own and just land , why would anybody ever use medivacs to transport them??

[@edwardjens6829]

All command centers are snake heads

[@jamiechan5899]

5:36 is when the rule was violated.

[@FakeSquid]

Finally, Harstem isn't supply blocking himself because he's having to build depots for snake 😂

[@gustavproduction6397]

I really enjoy very long videos ( 2-4 hrs) in which you play tournaments. You can put them on an what’s them while doing your hobby. So if you come along one I would love a video

[@LDSG_A_Team]

what a silly idea. I'll have to try this

[@mh1593]

Good games. Should have used libs earlier. Should have used Marauders.

[@derpysean1072]

I think he should not run 24 marines into 12 sieged tanks, but that is just me.

[@Magdavian]

so,.my son, never played starcraft before, He misunderstood the game and built only 1 of each unit and each building, so my friend and i played a match vs AI to see if it was possible, against another player it fails unless the other player also builds only one of each unit, but vs AI we were unable to pass medium, even the easy AI was a bit of a challenge, especially since we could only build one cannon or bunker, and we were not permitted to destroy them to build them anywhere else, has anyone else done something like this?

[@sylvannight6153]

Great, now do it with Protoss.

[@slimpwarrior]

Sad snek noises

[@BeniBela]

This is almost like the Warcraft 1 build style, where you had to build a road first and could only place buildings at the road. You could do a Warcraft 1 episode one day

[@LoldemortII]

This is on similar level as Grubbys WC3 challenges, makes the games more entertaining!

[@chrisgangle17]

Beating Grandmaster but without using Rally Points

[@d3adagain385]

Technically you could build a command center to mantain snake formation and then move it into expansion 😂

[@clementj2005]

ThiS iS So funny

[@chir0pter]

this was a gem

[@killanaut8520]

Now proxy.

[@DarylMetzler]

what a chad

[@johan435]

4 min in xD

[@velocirapper]

I think Grant did this but with just pylons and cannons against the AI

[@pablovirus]

Chadstem

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

This some new troll 🧌! Nice 👍

[@InfinityDsbm]

Never a dull moment 😂😂😂

[@milanterpstra7904]

Maybe a little too difficult of an idea but could be done on a lower mmr smurf: Win by only defending, never move out on the map, just take expands and defend it like a maniac. Like "All in" in the Wings of Liberty campaign.

[@potatochipstreams1325]

27:02 is hilarious

[@reaLBERG]

🔥

[@lurchgurk7824]

greetings to that one marine guy that stayed in the medivac for the whole second game xD

[@d3j4v00]

Why no turrets or sensor towers?

[@robmoab3410]

This is the most ridiculous challenge I have ever seen. I love it.

[@Gardstyle35]

MiNeS aRe BalAnCEnd

[@MichaelLewis-fx8eq]

Git gud scrub😂

[@mishazerg]

Yes, they are.

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

I hate the idea of beating grandmasters with handicaps, but this is still a funny idea.

[@Auchtung]

At 7:05 you start the production of sensor tower which completes this is an instant failure and should have resulted in a GG

[@tatatatartine2588]

Nice! New idea for BGMWSS: the "cancel master". Each and every time you want to build a structure, you first have to build and cancel it, then you are allowed to build it again properly.

[@sakesaurus]

that would just make you a bronze league player

[@WeirdViking]

Cheating with the sensor tower half the map
