Harstem: Builds CC right in front of opponent army Opponent: Destroys CC Harstem: "This guy is not playing bad at all."

[@MichaelLochlann]

progamers do seemingly dumb stuff like build base right in front of the army they know is coming, attack with a unit with 1 hp, drop with a medivac that has 1 hp, etc. I don't get why you have 400 apm but then do stuff like that. but i guess it's harder than it looks.

[@esra013]

@@MichaelLochlann From my personal experience going from silver > low grandmaster. It's just about quantity > quality. 3 bad plays happening at the same time will more often than not, beat a singular good play. Granted that the bad plays are not so bad that they are negative micro.

8:46 - 27:17 - This game felt so bizarre to watch. At times, it almost felt like they saw what you were doing, like blind-countering your BCs with something that isn't a build. Then at other times, it didn't feel like that at all.

[@Mootek1503]

0:13 one gate playing terran, 2024 variety lol

[@bassboosted4025]

idk what harstem was doing he usually has such good calls. but he kept massing bc into mass stalker, he had so many of those bcs and they just sat at home while his opponent took free bases. his opponent literally built like 6 stargates to transition and harstem never saw them. he was harassing with teleport, instead of flying over and teleporting out. it's been a while since I saw a game this bad from him

[@mEtil5656]

The first game was a work of art. Sad that he forgot the gg, happens to the best of us

[@pinkmimic5942]

"Kak tak" means something approximately similar to "how in the world?" in russian. And if it doesn't, I should see a doctor, maybe that's the push I needed.

[@Matthew-uv6gl]

It is funny that his Terran is primarily builds which annoy him when he plays Protoss, and plays them just to annoy other Protoss players.

[@hamburgers7817]

Dear Harstem, one time I got something stuck in my eye, and the doctor had to put in a dissolvable strip into my eye to "melt" it I guess and it all dissolved into tears.

[@halqthedarktemplar]

is the doctor imba or do my eyes suck

[@dimitriyremerov]

@harstem re: second game: KakTak in Russian means "how come". Which is also a pretty accurate description of the game itself.

[@jinjurbreadman]

5:19 "I don't know what it's called in English... optician?" (like he just randomly guessed the correct word for 'eye man') what a flex

[@GaussLM]

It's the wrong kind of eye man for what he's talking about though. An optician fits you for glasses/contacts or other corrective devices. The eye man who actually checks out your eyes to see if there's problems is an _optometrist._ Should've just stuck with 'eye doctor', that works for both opticians and optometrists, and also ophthalmologists (those last are the ones who do actual medical/surgical treatment). Props for getting the right word for any kind of eye doctor in English though, way better than I could do in his language.

[@ukkiesc5087]

Thing is, he had the Dutch word in his head, which is the word adopted from French "Opticien". So he just pronounced that in English and it worked

[@QueenOfMud]

5:10 Optometrist or Ophthalmologist, an Optician is kinda like a clinic assistant. I will also accept eye-man

[@0z3k]

5:20 Ophthalmologist

[@soggycheese8485]

Or optometrist if it's just for contacts like he mentioned.

[@senatorhung]

1. opthalmologist is an eye specialist .. usually handles stuff like eye surgeries (laser, retinal, cataracts). 2. optometrist is an eye doctor who regularly checks your eyes for any issues and determines your prescription for eyeglasses or contacts 3. optician is someone who helps you select an appropriate eyeglasses frame and type of lenses (or contact lens) for your given prescription

Eye doctor - optometrist

[@thatkevin8792]

Ophthalmologists are the specialists. Optometrists are absolutely doctors, but they're not medical doctors like ophthalmologists are. If you just need a new prescription, an optometrist is generally all you'll need. But if you have a history of or start having eye problems, an ophthalmologist is who you want to see. *edit* a plural

[@icewrack9152]

KakTak means "how's that (happens)?" in Russian. Could it be Genies other account?

[@Conqueror933]

that protoss at ~15:00 does he have a robo and observers or is he maphacking?

Harstem does find and kill an observer at one point, but there's still a lot of suspicious stuff going on in this.

[@drewskiwest5284]

25:24 what is the EXACT counter to that many end game air from protoss (i can't think of the name of that air unit but its basically air siege) expensive, slow, but LOOONG range and obliterates buildings. what is the precise counter to them other than making a ton of vikings? is it a combo of ghosts for EMP and BC or do Ravens counter them with that ability that disrupts them? idk. terran is my least played out of all 3 races. i played toss during BETA only and then most of WoL until I switched to Random due to the fact playing Random would give you icons (if you won) in the race you got PLUS random race. so you were playing for 2 icons instead of just one. i ended up in top division on beta as protoss since most maps were super small except maybe one or two which could easily be veto'd cept i left one open (the OG version of lost temple - i guess SC2's nod to wc3's lost temple idk) but they remade it a couple times in WoL. then there was that map that IdrA is FAMOUSLY trolled for leaving in a BIG TOURNAMENT because his enemy made mass hallucinated voidrays and instead of fighting it or just backing up until it ran out, he just left game and people trolled him for years - hell i think they still do. forgot name of map but i had SO MANY games on that map and I lost a LOT to proxy terran marauder + marauder slow upgrade as protoss. this was also back in WoL. tbh that was my favorite of the 3 simply due to how simple the match ups were... mirror match ups, map match ups, etc. and it took FOREVER for people to have a consistent answer for the protoss beta proxy 2 gate zealot rush that literally gave me rank 1 top division in beta with 80+ wins and maybe 9 losses or 11 losses max before retail released. and instantly got to top division using that strat as well as the 4 gate strat and the 3gate/immortal rush. since expo's were not practically REQUIRED every game. you had your one-base players or you had the people who began the "macro" play by expanding. if i recall, zergs did this the most in the beginning of WoL since zerg was weaker in a 1:1 base match up so they essentially HAD to have an expo to compete against the other 2 races. really disliked the zvz cuz if you tried to 10 pool back then and they held it, or if they blind countered it with banes, you were just boned.

[@parkerbradshaw4122]

tempest moves very slowly so it's weak to attacking in multiple places at once, or having counter attacks setup that you send in when the tempest ball shows up on your side of the map

[@buttlord2223]

hindsight and backseat gaming aside, imo Harstem needed to be more aggressive with his BCs to harass workers, and once the tempests started engaging near the end he really should've jumped into them, he was getting kited hard af while trying to get yamatos off. I still don't think he would've won that fight but he might've at least held it off. A bio ball with stim might've been better for dealing with the stalkers and later tempests than the tanks since there weren't all that many, but I donno.

[@drewskiwest5284]

23:00 at this point you should have at least a 4th and 5th up and running + an extra base with some sim city action instead of having 2 orbitals at the new bases, i'd put at least 1 maybe TWO planetaries + sim city with depots/bunkers or other buildings to make it HARDER for him to attack your orbital that's mining since you aren't against banelines or air.

[@slowmomma7222]

I am nowhere near your level, but I think you sat your BCs at home doing nothing the whole game when their whole strong point is doing damage and teleporting out of danger/back home to defend. Even just yamato'ing stalkers whenever he's close

[@drewskiwest5284]

that 2nd game is super sus... on the protoss' end. but then again, if you think about it, if he's proxy'd you into a one base potentially all in that he doesn't scout EXACTLY but the blind counter of cannons in mineral line + batteries and having stalkers on the ready for a bc... i'd watch the replay for timing on it... cuz terran has to go ALL the way to end game tier for BC and he just assumes you're gonna go BC instead of delayed natural and third with a later mech or potentially bio + tank support. i'd watch replay...

[@drewskiwest5284]

ok phew you scanned it and got it, it did move but i swear it was closer into the mineral line/gas. i barely saw it due to your settings. i wish i knew how "pros" had their settings to see burrowed/invisible units better without having the REST of the map/building/units/minerals all maxed to ultra. i actually PREFER the lower end graphics of mineral patches and units and so on but i really wish i could navigate the settings to be able to EASILY spot invisible units/observers/burrowed units. if YOU or someone else could help me with settings... please do, ASAP, i'd genuinely appreciate it. and tell me in a way you'd tell a braindead child, as in step-by-step, PRECISE name... cuz the settings have changed names over the years and so many new things have appeared. lastly, i can run with all settings on ultra but i don't want to. so, someone please help a brother out.

[@douglasbessette6045]

At 18:00 You worry what your response should be when they turtle against battlecruisers. Expect Vikings.. try to follow this.. because they are responding to battlecruiser the answer is Vikings and a few turrets.. because of the Viking threat you must make 2 Vikings for every battle cruiser, and tech switch back to marines.. so anticipating Vikings make a balanced army heavy in marines. Whenever you play if you get lost .. visualize your best unit composition for the army you perceive he must be building. Tell me if I'm wrong.

[@douglasbessette6045]

So expect that marines and Vikings will protect you against whatever they get. mostly marines.. and if it goes air mines are preferable to tanks. the main reason for this is so you have enough gas for more battlecruiser Viking. Also.. try to keep a raven in your army. Have it follow the battlecruisers for protection so it wont leap forward first.
