My thought when seeing this was protoss was just trying to meme. I have done stupid crap like this in lower leagues as zerg. Build nothing but drones spines and spores and mass expand with defenses everywhere. Players will more often than not focus to hard on killing one base while I take like 3 more. It's honestly a stupid gameplan and relies on the multitasking and macro of the opponent to be bad for it to work, but I assure you it does.

You would be surprised how often when someone encounters something new like a weird rush or massing a non meta unit or something they perceive as stupid, then their whole gamelan is suddenly forgotten and they just start trying to freestyle a build in their overconfidence or confusion. The usually correct answer would be stay calm and follow your build order/macro up. In the heat of the moment though people will make mistakes.

I strongly recommend Loozerg watch some sc2 tutorials. Not the official blizzard ones, but the higher quality pro player made tutorials. I think you have one Harstem. Me, I watched PiG's video and can now easily beat harder ai 1v1. I tried very hard and got stomped, because I am still making mistakes like failing to inject, expand, get more gas, fully saturate my first two bases (ironically I more often fully saturate my second base while leaving one gas unused in my main lol) and neglecting to continue getting upgrades. Mind you I don't get punished vs the harder ai for these mistakes, but the very hard ai certainly does. My goal isn't to rank on the ladder though, it's to kick my friends' asses lol and boy am I going to, very soon (this week).

I feel like this belongs more on an episode of "bronze league heros" than "IIODIS". nothing at all about this game indicates silver, much less diamond on any server. as a zerg, if you have only 39 workers by 6-7 minutes: you are ALL-IN whether or not you realize it. You should sneak this replay into the next season of ranked roulette, because once it gets all clipped up and the names anonymized, I don't think anyone on the show could guess the league correctly. good on loozerg though for gging despite the BM though.

[@xkdax8470]

Hello there, dear everyone, im the one who did send this replay. I see a lot of comments here about my playstyle, so I want to explain what was going on in my mind: 1. First of all, im not a Serral, and im not able to destroy 200 limit of carrier+archon/storm (i can have any upgrades and any army composition and i will lose to A-click/A-click+storm) 2. If i let toss to expand like a madman left and right - he will eventually get 200 limit of carrier+archon/storm for sure (and then see point one) 3. If i build drones then im not able to build lings that early (and then see point two) (actually you dont rly need lot of drones to make ling army) Thats why this game looks like this, i still feel like i went for best strategy to counter opponent strategy, surely did mess up some micro, but why nobody cares about toss micro (not found)? Harstem unfortunately missed a couple of my big attacks on opponent bases, which you can see on the mini map (so in my view i was actually ahead, cause wasnt aware of bottom base, and did see how i did kill pretty much every probe, also protoss didnt even knew about my 4th base, and i had some of drones there, so thats a reason why i didnt leave a game when had like 9 drones (some of you said that i did bm toss cause of no leaving) Roach warren obviously wasnt brilliant decision, but i felt like lings wasnt trade good enough against buildings, and i had bunch of vespen, so i thought some ravagers would be usefull to break defence with biles. I did transfer drones from main to natural when oracles come cause if you watch closely, those oracles did kill queen+spore in 3rd base in the blink of an eye right before, so 1 spore isnt enough to stop them, but at natural base i had queen and 2 additional spores in production I surely did mess up some stuff in this game, but i feel like if i will face this guy with same strat again, i will lose again, cause even after Harstem review i dont rly understand what should i do. Like i can trade banelings better, i can build spore in-time, but protoss also able to press atleast battery overcharge once or split probes against banelings at least once, or micro his oracles better and then im dead anyways. Anyhow it was a hilarious game to watch (but not to play). Big appreciation to Harstem for reviewing it, peace

[@genericnameinc]

As to what to improve on: take 2 lings and shift click every base location to scout? If you had done that, you would have found and could have taken out all of his super undefended bases with ease. Oh, ans spend the larva. You could have produced workers without sacrificing lings...you had unused larva all the time ;)

​@@genericnameinc When toss did build hidden base i was going into his base with 6 start lings, so i didnt had any free lings at that point, and even when i did shift click every base it dont show me every base cause ling comes into closest cannon and dies. Anyhow, he did build it at 3:10 and i did scout it at 7:10 and i did destroy it at 10 minute mark, so why do you think its scout problem, it surely not, toss base is just op, it defends wave after wave cause toss player did outplay me and did build 2 cannons pog. Bottom base is kind of joke cuz i had so much lings going through this base and they didnt scout it And now for larva, both times when Harstem said about larva i did spend all my resources right after it, even Serral can have 13 larva sometimes in a game, its fine. And i didnt build workers not cause of larva issue, but minerals, i did aggressive push at low worker count, like imagine to do 12 pool and then build 2 lings and go for drones, thats what you advicing. If i didnt build any of those lings i wont be able to stop this 10:30 o'clock base even at 10 minute mark. Thats ridic to me that lot of ppl actually think its not op to counter early aggression like ling bane flood with +1 attack by placing more nexuses(which i can see, you wont find any moment when i dont attack my opponent buildings for some time, i know about them, but i cant destroy them/or it takes too much time), most of you are probably protoss

[@yaboykirby7789]

Is it just me or was this Zerg not that bad? Honestly I feel this is the closest thing "OP" thing I've seen on Is it Imba or do I suck. The guy's baseline mechanics were NOT GOOD, like he spent way too much time doing things with his units compared to just building units and him trying to get his banelings to hit the natural was pretty cringe but strategically he was ok. I've watched High Diamond Zergs that don't know what the word scouting means and this guy scouted pretty well, he only really missed the one base near the end and there's no reason that Protoss should have a base there undefended so I can forgive that. the Zergling movement where he was getting into his opponent's base and he could have saved another Zergling was pretty unintuitive imho like I dunno in the back of my head I'm thinking "what if he blocks his own ramp?" even though I know that''s dumb. Also it's easier running that way and it's just one Zergling. He made a bunch of small and dumb micro mistakes but I feel like he didn't lose much by making those mistakes? He oversplit his army a bit but his opponent is building bases everywhere isn't that the obvious thing to do? With not building a Spore my view was that it looked like he wasn't expecting Oracles but instead something else that would take longer to build (idk what) judging by him building the spore almost instantly as the Oracles came in (showing he was at least thinking about it) I seriously don't know what he was doing with the Roach Warren though, that was weird as fuck (apparently he built them so he could kill buildings more efficiently? He clearly thought he was much further ahead). Some of the times you criticized him for not just hitting the pylon there was two pylons and two cannons sure he shouldn't have gone Cannon>Pylon>Cannon>Pylon but the zerg seemed to struggle just getting the right units in front The time he had 8 workers like yeah of course he just threw his units in he has 8 workers lmao Telling the Zerg he lost because he never went above 40 workers is kinda strange to me? Like shouldn't you be able to beat this Protoss build with >40 workers easily? And yeah you might say "wow the Zerg player was so bad" because in a lot of ways he was but Starcraft 2 isn't Broodwar, you can have pretty poor mechanics and get far as proven by the fact that he's High Diamond EU My first thought was it feels like the Protoss build kind of hard counters mechanically poor Zerg players but after thinking a bit longer I think Zerg lost this because he wasn't fully prepared for the stargates? He was even with Protoss on workers at that point and had a much scarier army so I think he just has to be a little less cocky and take the stargates seriously and he wins fairly comfortably. PS I don't really play SC2 so this is me trying to understand rather than me trying to inform, I know I'm a dumbass.

[@NestedQuantifier]

No, the zerg was terrible. You do need good mechanics. The zerg is not good because he is in high diamond. He is in high diamond despite being so terrible, which would be an argument for zerg being OP, not the other way around. I don't know why you think he should be able to win with 40 drones and zergling/bane despite not having been under any pressure for the first 10 minutes. A zerg can have 80 drones and be maxed out by 7 mins. Starcraft 2 is not a strategy game. It's a colony building simulator. Only when you can build 80 drones, 5 bases by 8 mins, do you ever get to play a strategy game. But speaking of strategy, you have some fundamental misunderstandings about starcraft. Most diamond players scout, but early drone scout is neither needed nor good by default. Focus on not tripping. For scouting to actually work, you need to react to what your opponent is doing. The correct choice against a forge expand is to expand, drone up, then kill. That's what zergs do, and that is why nobody goes forge fast expand. The 6 zerglings going in was a terrible mistake in the first place. You lose all your zerglings and map control, have sacrifice more drones, and can't scout and deny bases. More importantly, he sat on 800 minerals the whole time microing like he is serral. That's a whole minute of resources, by the 2 minute and 30 second mark! He deserved to lose at that point. When he finally scouted the expansions which he should have denied with his zerglings, he should have droned up, build roaches, then killed them. Instead, he killed more drones by building zerglings and banelings instead and tried to baneling bust. Zerglings cost larvae, and he didn't have very many because he didn't build 2 extra bases or inject very well because he was too busy microing 3 zerglings against probes. His micro mistakes weren't small. They were beyond idiotic. After smashing through the main base, he morphed his zerglings into banelings to kill probes. He did this multiple times. His losses weren't small, nor were they affordable since he had 0 economy. Every 2 zergling is a drone. Early banelings are just stupid, are expensive as hell, and kills your economy because you need to mine gas. Oversplitting his army is by definition bad. After busting spending an ungodly amount of economy to bust the main, he needed to send in his whole army to try to destroy the tech and 2 bases, and not allow the protoss to rebuild the wall. The protoss had nothing in the base, but he didn't know that. He criticized him when there were 1 pylon and 2 cannons and 1 shield battery. But let's test you. Is it better for the banelings to go into the defense, and allow the zerglings to kill the probes, or to send your banelings into the probes? With not building the spore, why is your view to defend him despite not having any idea what he is doing? If he was not expecting oracles... first of all, WHY NOT? Is his plan just to die if the protoss chose one out of three units he could build? And do you really think this zerg has the timing down pat to know exactly when a void ray would come? What was a higher priority at that point? Anything else, whatever is coming out of those 4 stargates? Yes, he started those spores the moment he saw the oracles coming to his base. I don't understand how you can conclude that meant he was "thinking about it". He clearly wasn't, and only realized it after seeing the oracles. He saw 4 stargates building and he just... forgot about them. Attention deficit zerg at the finest. He should have had 6 queens at that point, but he didn't. He should have built spores immediately. Roach warren should have came 6 mins earlier. He threw his banelings to get hit by the cannons the most amount of times possible, then into a nexus. He was supposed to go from the other side, and not through his cannons to slightly damage a nexus. Or even go elsewhere to attack a less defended base. He had 8 workers because he only ever built like 30. So if you've identified that that is bad, why do you think that only building 30 is acceptable? The zerg never had the protoss' economy, and is almost never anywhere close, despite killing 100 probes, so NOT even. The protoss had a scary army, while the zerg had a few zerglings and banelings. The protoss' build hard counters nothing other than attention deficit zergs who only got into platinum because they 16 pool and lower level protoss/terrans don't build walls. The zerg lost because he belongs in gold/silver league, and is up against an actual diamond player because good mechanics trumps bad ones. The zerg was never ahead, and could never have won because he was a silver/gold player. With the way you're talking, I'd almost think you were that zerg player trying to justify himself with another name.

"you're basically the creeps in tower defense" is like the best punchline i heared in a while

[@chloesmith4065]

There was a PvT where this came up also, tank was walled in and the stalkers took the longest route possible to get hit by the tank instead of just walking next to the factory and sniping it in two volleys

[@timbaleno9269]

If someone showed this toss the overcharge button, he could make GM.

[@bobhockey2509]

It only took Harstem 19 and a half minutes to find something more interesting than this replay.

[@ВладиславОстровский-й6ж]

Its impossible nn 3900 mmr Those player's are gold

[@asdaq6319]

When the game is already happening, please make your camera picture smaller. It was just so darn annoying because it felt like it took half the screen.

[@JosephParker_Nottheboxer]

Are we allowed to troll Harstem by submitting a video where we loose against the Very Easy AI by failing to build anything that makes any sense?

[@lmao_nope]

I love 13:00 on this video. The zerg just got done killing 85 probes... and he is still behind in worker count.

[@BIGESTblade]

Holy shit, how is this guy diamond. Builds banelings for a bust and loses his whole army to fucking photons anyway.

[@arksurge7084]

lol why are u even making these videos, all u do is complain about the players that email you, and harass them like you're taking their complaints personally.

[@TheJoe5212]

I mean not sure why everyone takes bm so seriously in online gaming, trash talking is common is every sport and is part of the competition mental fight, i mean I am not in favour of it and yes I hoped we could have sportsmanship in every game but its part of the game I am not going to rage or feel offended if I someone calls my airball or banters

[@leznets91]

If some of these diamond players were in my silver league I'd have more MR I feel

[@max_munzel]

the choudo chouda melody reminded me of the french advertisement for Géramont (cest bon, cest bon, geramont, geramont)

[@cavemantero]

maybe he should watch Serral destroy clem because queens and banes are imba instead of filling out the form...

[@Alex-d3l9b]

Is it overlord before drone? Like is that correct. I have been just guessing, new to z

[@videnz2664]

i never played starcraft but isnt it part of the fun that somethings are a bit imbalanced? i mean that would be basically chess no?

[@whateverppl1229]

I can't belive this is diamond, this feels like gold or plat.

[@SeanofAllTrades]

I play in platinum and I'm nowhere near as bad as either of these players. I'm so confused.

[@gradius22]

19:48 i remember this day9 lesson, it honestly improved my macro a lot :)

[@WidgeonTV]

Hastem's graphics are off the chart

[@VNGAMINGTV]

When i watch games like this i dont understand how it took me so long to get to master XD hahaha

[@reddragon7762]

Correction @4:50, Started with 6 lings, ended with 50% killed.

[@kiyokiyoko]

you missed the entire point of his advice which was path routing. he couldve kept 4 instead of 3 which is 25% extra killed

[@Golab08]

exactitude must be a one of Florencio's students. There's no other way.

[@whateverppl1229]

well, new cheese series I guess. Probes only for 20 minutes.

[@mauzytv]

The toss is doing the drill that Harstem thought us, but he decided to keep money low by building static defense XD I love it, tho I'd hate to deal with it XD Edit: offensive GG is just super rude.

[@celonnn]

Just realised that it was you who destroyed me on my first ranked game few days back.

[@FPVHans]

I think the gg was just in bis muscle Memory 🦔

[@YellowEllo]

Tbf, when he typed gg. It would have taken a miracle to get back in the game

[@Etropalker]

Cannons? BM? A disgrace to the AlbinoFly gambit

[@zeratulisthegoat]

Why was the outtro beating grandmasters with stupid stuff?

[@Misha4em]

Welcome to Bronze league heroes! Oh wait wrong channel...

[@ashra8281]

I half expect these to be sent by the people who win ngl

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

Does anybody else just watch and not even play competetive matches?

[@DragonBleu888]

Harstem do u play in 4vs4 as profile name Drwormer if yes okay ^^

[@DanielLewisDance]

For sure staged, dia is not this bad surely Also offensive GG sounds fine to me when the game so obviously over and zerg just refusing to leave 🤷‍♂️

[@mistaskate8715]

No way this is high diamond! Silver or gold at best ;D or staged!

[@wojurera3131]

Harstem with probes only is OP Please Nerfffff!😵‍💫

[@Trazynn]

Do another 2v2 but your fellow team-mate pretends to leave in his command center except he relocates to a distant proxy and quietly builds an army while your two opponents think he's afk.

[@jacko314]

honestly i think this is a troll zerg. this is how i play zerg and i'm silver.

[@HappyTwoBe]

24:25 OH! I was watching a GM game here, I must've been lied to about it being high diamond at the beginning. Thanks for clarifying at the end Mr. Harstem! :D

[@johnfridja]

actually tilted from IOTIS, finally

[@MoroseMoe]

Protoss gets discount on assimilator if they only have probes

[@matteofontana_]

this BGWSS video was truly amazing

[@jpVari]

I"m glad for your reaction to the offensive gg. I hate that shit.

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

I can't help but to think there's a zillion ways to beat this protoss strat.

[@chir0pter]

How old are the people that submit these replays? it really seems like they must be kids or sth

[@You-ul8qw]

4:45, Harstem lets be real here, who cares about losing lings to a cannon when your zerglings have 400 shields and 400 hp? that's plenty to tank against every single worker in the main and natural.

[@branhoff]

Who liked this comment? I don’t even know what it’s saying

[@RMJ1984]

Man, grandmaster players sure aren't what they used to be. This must be NA Grandmaster players in the video ? xD

[@HieronymousLex]

They’re diamond, not GM
