The games in GSL/ESL this season have been really good so far! Perhaps it’s the new balance patch or the new maps, but there’s been many creative strategies and builds. Highly recommend watching the tournaments, hopefully we get bigger balance patches in the future. New units introduced/re-introduced would be amazing.

[@ParleLeVu]

It's kind of a meh video when the headline strategy doesn't work.

[@ja3482]

Man, Harstem needs a sticky note on his monitor, "Stasis'd Units WILL begin moving and attacking again!"

It's always Harstem with the Mothership

[@botmushin8878]

Letting those hydras go cost him that match.

[@iusefacebookalso]

"Take a shot every time Harstem's gold base was denied in Game 1. How drunk are you?" "Yes."

[@Black_Weekend]

Harstem and Lambo is different levels

[@HenryTiquetLeyva]

This channel is like: The greatest Protoss strategy ever, but it fell in the end. Then, slightly different terran strategy, always win.

[@OldSpaghettifactory89]

You're confusing unique and greatest, I think. Theyre not synonyms. For example, Elon is out there inventing 'unique' ways to run the bird app

[@Kaboomnz]

Catz needs to explain why he thinks 5 base ling bane hydra is an all in. Dude is smokin some goooood shiz.

[@mynamejeff785]

We just don't see the mothership enough

[@spartanchief2]

Unfortunately it's because it's so bad and everyone is afraid of buffing it

[@williamcortelyou9072]

Would be a great way to buff up the toss a bit, if they buffed it. I think most ppl agree toss are a bit underwhelming at the moment. Which makes no sense lore wise. Toss should be scary, esp late game.

[@spartanchief2]

@@williamcortelyou9072 I 100% agree with you there

[@cowfishblobfish]

@@williamcortelyou9072 yh wer my golden armada. they need to add a nuke for toss. them mother ship beam

[@aloe7794]

@@williamcortelyou9072 balance > lore though, at least for the things that would completely break the game's balancing

[@AHAPPYBANNANA]

I feel like he should have tried to mass produce void rays instead and then fly the mothership along the side of the map and teleport them all into the mothership and use the void ray ability to just melt all the tech all at once.

[@AHAPPYBANNANA]

And also TP in zealots with it to help take care of the queens/ drones while the voids can easily shred the buildings and any corrupters.

[@nilsimmond6727]

Why does Harstem not split his high templars? He lost all of them at once a couple of times. I think clumping them also provides far less windows for good storms. Maybe he should get some HT micro coaching? Loved the mothership, though.

[@lawrencechrismedenilla3598]

Love the new observer UI. Finally big enough icons for 1080 people 👌🏻

[@Fjuczers]

YEAR OF HARSTEM! 2024 xD

[@Scawtsauce]

i kove how harstem actually micros his archons!! cathartic. you need a warp prism...

[@kristoradion]

Scroll to the end, zerg wins, skip.

[@romantroshkin3142]

nice

[@shwt321]

was painful to watch harstem play D:

[@mfranco25881]

Classic just did that build against dark in the gsl

[@SC2HL]

Check the previous video

[@m0xmAn]

After watching a few of these games. You can tell that whoever's name appears on the title, they lose :D

[@jamesbrown-wp1pc]

veary very nicely lol harstem sucked balls this game, usually alot better

[@Sir_Tomoyuki]

Yeah, I was surprised at how badly he was playing.

[@Brainsore.]

Ikr, he needs to play the tutorial again!

[@laureloneiros1500]

thank you for posting these games. With the recent changes terran are becoming more dominant than ever and their playstyle simply isn't fun to watch, so I'm glad there is a place to find interesting and unpredictable matches

[@Rath_9]

Harambo wins

[@Brainsore.]

Is Harstem even a pro player?! Lambo stomped him!

[@totallynotdsl8507]

First

[@jbwon2775]

Harstem is the Levy of SC2. Makes great videos and appears super high level to 90% of his viewers, but when he goes against an actual Pro, not even that high level, he shows his noobiness. Some of the worst professional Starcraft I've ever seen from Harstem. Imagine losing your entire ground army multiple times to slow lings in the first game. And then getting surrounded by literally frozen slow lings in the second game. Harstem is making Lambo look like Dark or Serral

[@mike4617]

Imagine shitting on both Lambo and Harstem. Go watch the Lambo vs MacroTerran.

[@153ridzzzz]

Protoss is just a weak race. Doesnt compare to Terran or Zerg late game. Blizzard and their stupid balancing.

[@masonmartinez9579]

I don't like harstem in tournaments 😅

[@user-kr9dq2un8r]

not worth it
