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

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

[@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

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]

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

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

[@altonito777]

Yea I was wondering too XD

[@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."

[@schlaagi]

I am not a football fan but I hear fans call 2/3 of even their own team bad all the time😂

[@thomascook8096]

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

[@Erebus2075]

i honestly LOVE energy overcharge for Protoss, honestly make it even better, allow protoss energy units to use a ton off spells, make all spellcasters heavier in supply from all races. so we get protoss=only race using lots and lots off spells, terran just strong all around and lots off range etc op as usual, and zerg should be refocused into waves and hordes off meatshield with none, autocast only, or extremely little spellcasting support and ONLY supportive abilities, no pulls, etc. they can keep mindcontrol as limiting spellcasters to 2-4 in an army limits the potential broken off it.

[@Erebus2075]

energy free ability for protoss. free units for zerg, only larva and tech limits production. permanent mules and scan for terran(reserves the energy, so 200= max 4 perma mules; scans (each orbital can hold 1 scan permanently at the energy reserved cost)). Lets get some diferences on these races again LETS DO THIS LEEROY!!!

[@Erebus2075]

extra's; (pylons and creep creates deadzones that doesn't show on scans, can see its blocked). all terran buildings have a marine auto-turret gun attachment. creep autospread, queens limit 1 per hatch and autocast heal, like campaign; protoss gets Dark-Archons in all their glory. battlecruisers becomes limit to 1 like mothership, mothership and battlecruisers revamp into extreme support aircraft, limit their aggressive capability and increase their survive and their support ability, mothership perma energy shield its army, like a sentry, giving them a +1 range buff and a low energy recharge like a battery, ability to invis and teleport the entire army a Short distance with 1 sec delay) battlecruisers, becomes very very tanky etc. some terran lover can come up with some cool stuff. zerg dont get super units; SWARM!!!

[@blandragny9152]

there was a tournament in Bulgaria?!

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

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.

[@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

[@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

[@altonito777]

Nah I'm pretty sure you cant use it on a nexus

[@Erebus2075]

9:52 protoss often fail hard in stalker numbers, the moment you got too many to effectively micro and engage continually with, is the moment you should get other units, and static. stalkers are not supposed to be a big scale army unit, its a strike team unit... ofc, protoss doesn't have anything else shooting up with any range and dmg sooo yer.

[@leinis80]

Regarding what Harstem said about not being able to win tournaments anymore: YOU ABSOLUTELY STILL CAN! It's just unlikely. Like, very very very unlikely. Like winning the lottery kind of probability.

[@ambion19]

The possibility that every opponent is struck by lightning is remote, but it could happen

[@Erebus2075]

8:55 wish such fights was just how zerg pushed, like maxing free units sending them to die to higher tech and throwing more at the grinder to keep it back while evolving ever more dangerous things, instead only Terran can survive a big army loss -.- op terran

[@ferocious_r]

it'd be so sick tho if Oracle and Dark Templar could also cast Stasis Ward

[@EthanLeventhal-d4i]

With energy overcharge, if you put two Nexus next to each other, would you have infinite energy?

[@itsBalder]

25:43 🤡🤡🤡

[@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?

[@tomfooleryV2]

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

[@Erebus2075]

24:20 cant sentry just spawn some archon to tank? you need ridiculess good micro to avoid hitting the halucinations and early game there is no effective invis scouting

[@Erebus2075]

harstem can argue his a couple hundred higher elo due to him playing with full graphics so much to please us, and that diff adds a lot off extra ranking handicap :P

[@Erebus2075]

14:52 age and wisdom, if no new good players come up something you love and loved and used most off your adult life on would dissapear forever. and also as we get older we enjoy meeting true talent, especially with something we mastered+- bc we get older and the time between people and experience that impress or make us widen our eyes become longer and longer.. still frustration can always come if you lose bc WE did something we would never fail at before, thats an annoying feel and it doesnt get much better hehe

[@F1ng0riginal]

Harstem's oracle harassment is top notch

[@lethuliv5500]

Why don't you build a Void Ray when you notice that they are all ining you with roach/ravager?

[@Floxxoror]

This would surely be the year of Harstem if he played just a little better.

[@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)...

[@davidd6660]

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.

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

😢😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉😢🎉😢🎉😢🎉😢🎉

[@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]

[@owenhodson7921]

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

[@StpMakinMeChangMyNam]

For the same reason why Khaydarin Amulet was ultimately removed, I have a feeling Energy Overcharge will also be removed. It would be a decent ability with good use cases and interesting builds if it were only used for Oracles or Sentries, but once you get 2 storms instantly warping a single Templar, it's too strong.

[@ambion19]

Just change overcharge like they did transfuse, smaller initial energy but an accelerated energy gain rate for the difference, that way it becomes a micro contest of save the Templar/dive the Templar, and 5 seconds later somebody wins that

[@StpMakinMeChangMyNam]

@ambion19 if all you needed was a 5 second window to snipe the Templar, you could do it during the 8 second warp in. It's not realistic to expect the Protoss to never have to plan ahead for defense and then give the enemy player 5 seconds to counter a Templar warp in they might not even be able to see because it's a little ways back in the Protoss' base.
