Energy Overcharge is INSANE vs Zerg

[@leeroyjenks]

It's always nice when these young players come by and visit Harstem in the old folks home.

[@liquid_cheese9930]

Not Harstem starting to drill his own pylon with oracles right after saying how he's gonna win XD 8:06

[@lawrencechrismedenilla3598]

I was gonna ask this. I was wondering if they have a new ability like the vipers 😂

[@danielbrannon8371]

"It's so hard, my joints still work... yea piss off". Never have I ever resonated with such sarcasm in my life. I am 37 my joints just started going out on me and I just hit Master league for the first time

[@abyrvalg_]

Nice! Huge achievment!

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

46 here. I’m gold lol

[@edwardjens6829]

54 and platinum

[@SawyerSGN]

They missed a big opportunity to name this new ability Power Overwhelming

[@letrolleurdujura5611]

This ability is as much usefull as the 9:02 chronoboost

[@minuteman21]

Balance council probably forgot the meme

[@朕是神]

Spend 50 energy to gain 100 energy. "I wish for two more wishes"

[@emctwoo]

Defensively vs ravagers the new overcharge seems so much better. The battery just got biled down instantly anyway most of the time and a more interesting, harder to use, dynamic option is so much better design wise

[@dpend]

It's really cool, allows much more creativity and skill from Protoss players (as long as they can actually hold certain all-ins which I'm still a little skeptical) I think it would be better if the cooldown was a little shorter, maybe 50 seconds or so

[@Appletank8]

definitely gives Protoss a much more mobile defensive option, and gives more scouting information which is more useful the better you are hold up you seem familiar

[@richardnary4572]

The best part about being old now is losing my hair at the same rate I lose SC2 matches.

[@edostenger]

"my joins still hurts" Ooooooh ooooooooooooh, "who is Arotosis?" Reference here lol "IMBA, IMBA world"

[@Wooteq44]

"He's that moss that grows on the tree that let's you know where the sun is."

[@hinney827]

Dear Diary, Today, I watched Harstem attack his own Adept. He thinks we don't write these things down. What a joker. Good chatting with you, Diary. -Hinney

[@emctwoo]

That last game seems like if you’d realized storm was done and gotten a single boosted Templar out vs the first hydras you probably hold it easily. Being able to skip the pre-warped templar before storm is so nice

[@mylucyrk]

Yeah I totally agree. i think that especially for lower levels (some of the F2 folk) to not need to keep the templar at a base to defend before hand. Just immediate warp in and storm may be strong

[@baronessthatcher3368]

We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful And If They're Protoss, That Makes It Even Worse

[@artemirrlazaris7406]

Protoss stasis trap.. is good for anti expanding timings,blocking it for additional time

[@yasedky]

2:15 You are the best harstem..🎉

[@iKeks99]

"I'm so young, my joints still work" XD Man harstem really is the best

[@thomascook8096]

Harstem is absolutely hilarious! 1:47 - 2:23 🤣🤣🤣

[@yasedky]

Ill be like harstem for the rest of my life .. Man, i watch you, not the sc2 .. You are very smart astute and funny 😂 Thank you ⚘️

[@fp6889]

That mothership has really good speed and maneuverability.

[@blandragny9152]

They call him 'Kev' and he's in the coning.

[@tomfooleryV2]

You're my favourite pro player Harstem, always rooting for you

[@paulll6461]

also turned 20 this year and can confirm it is so over

[@vonriel1822]

1:47 I think that's because of how people talk about pvp games any more. You listen to the streamers, they'll say that like maybe 50 people out of 5 million are "good" at whatever game they play. Not even amazing, but just "good". By that ratio, FIFA's estimation of 124,000 professional footballers worldwide would require 12,400,000,000 people of all skill levels regularly playing football in order to shake out enough people "good" at football to form just that pool of pros. When you realize that number is like twice as many people as are actually able to play football in the world today and like 50% greater than the global population, is it any wonder that nobody thinks they're "good" at whatever video game they play, when the bar is set so high? When you think about it, people who say that stuff about video games are legit calling like 2/3 of all professional footballers bad at football. It's wild. I will not apologize for the rant.

[@veen0s249]

The thing is with competition is when you're in that scenario of trying to be an up and coming pro, you have to have the mindset to be better than everyone. Sure, you have the Serrals/Fakers of whatever game you want to compete in, but you have to give yourself credit for getting there. But at the same time, you have to acknowledge that while you're good, you have to practice to keep getting better otherwise you're going to get surpassed. Part of the path is learning, and while you should try to have fun, half the fun is learning, grinding and trying to get better and consistent. Per a famous quote: "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

[@russelldeanharris4341]

why not move overlord speed to hive while we're at it

[@dythalis6566]

there was a tournament in Bulgaria?!

[@victornunes900]

Yes, earlier this year. Bellum Gens Elite in Stara Zagora

[@colinmoore7774]

Has anyone played around with the idea of putting a macro nexus next to your main so you can feed it energy overcharge? Like for extra chrono boosts or something? Is that a thing? Would love to see that in a beating grandmaster with stupid stuff lol

[@zergrush8709]

"he is usually floating 6.2k..." HUH this guy is GM??? "... MMR" oh

[@acolit1]

The battery overcharge really looks like a band-aid solution compared to this energy overcharge. It makes a poorly executed all in have greatly reduced chances of working

[@oguzcanoguz5977]

Why do I feel like whenever they nerf protoss it is something that barely matters for Zerg but is a big deal for Terran and whenever they buff toss it is much more significant vs Zerg than vs Terran?

[@itsBalder]

25:43 🤡🤡🤡

[@Hairintd]

i wander if energy overcharge would be better if it could give you half of the energy (50), but twice faster (30 sec cooldown)...

[@PavelAveryanov]

Harstem, you are the Hero, don't think you are some mediocre player. At least you have won HSC once!

[@patrickmiller6236]

Omg the mass oracle proxy with batteries. getting nerfed! Mark my words.

[@steelwasp9375]

Is Energy Overcharge cooldown separate for every Nexus? It is a huge bummer if it isn't. I mean, Terran don't even have cooldown on mules. If it is separate, there is room for new all-inns with early casters.

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

balance council - protoss and terran need "doors" to their base. Lets give terran doors.

[@russelldeanharris4341]

not okay. Zerg is getting nerfed in this patch. Its already hard enough to win as zerg now we will never win.

[@иваниванов-в4д1щ]

😢😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉😢🎉😢🎉😢🎉😢🎉

[@owenhodson7921]

Tempest dmg plus slow fire rate is so funny, just air unit does like less then a zelot slash

[@jamesurbanic1975]

yay

[@Bacthayong]

hi

[@alttilehmusmetsa5926]

YYYYEEEEEESSSSSSS

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

I like how everybody argued I said the new energy ability is going to be way better than the old one, because hte old one really sucked and never did much. In addition to getting this new ability, the battery got it's HP buff, so that's also a huge nerf, because it is usally the first target by the opponent. So it's really a double buff. I really like it because protoss is super weak to low tech from the other sides, bio and roach ravager. But, all those people are stupid, and if everybody disagrees with you, you're probably on to something.

[@colinlu9695]

People disagree that I should be grandmaster
