[@geuros]

In that case it's better to have colossi instead of disruptors but yeah, Protoss army even unobserved, with this much of an advantage in supply, no way he wouldn't win

[@Junebug89]

@@geuros Against a turtling terran, it's very likely he wouldn't win. Disruptors doing nothing, templar just autoattacking, everything clumping into tank fire, zealots wailing on depots. No thermal lance either. He's only up 30 army supply . No reason not to try it though.

[@TheHadMatters]

@@Junebug89 What if you invest another minute or two replacing as many workers as possible with military before you go afk? The Protoss player has double the income, so it's not like the Terrans can rebuild more than Toss can bulk up. I'm pretty sure if you build an army that's bigger than it's supposed to be possible at this stage in the game, you can power through a Terran. Source: I suck at this game and this is how I win against Terrans (granted without going afk, but there's not a lot of difference in mechanics.)

[@steveABCDEFG]

I wish I knew how awesome and funny Harstem was back in the hayday of sc2. I would have been cheering for him so hard.

[@manthe3711]

Yeah, for me he was just Rotterdam with bigger lips. Boy, how wrong I was. He's the best SC2 content creator on the platform.

Same here. Saw him once in a tournament going on the stage. Did immediately dislike him for some reason. But man, Harstem is one of the coolest and funniest dudes out there.

[@dariensisko0]

Okay, I admit: that title actually wasn't clickbait.

[@CyrilZhe]

I would give poor old Dessem a break. He was the first sword of the malazan empire and the knight of high house death. Apointed by the Hood himself.

[@Planky-The-Plank]

A fellow Malazan enjoyer 😊

[@ragemydream]

Honestly, this was quite refreshing and well done Harstem for taking it humourously. Harstem, it would be great to see you review one of your pro match ups and analyse with us, where you went wrong and why? At such a high level, it is quite hard for us mere mortals to understand why when you made a decision it didn't work out. Keep it up Captain

[@Silhohen]

That hamster edit with the stamp was actually godly. I had a similar game as zerg v terran again on moondance, the terran GG'd out at the 28min mark cuz all I could do was deny their 4th for 15min till they literally ran out of eco. Feels insanely unfair imo. Would be nice to know how to actually kill them :[ I was using vipers on tanks as much as possible but turrets are pretty good lul Great video in general, I do feel the toss's pain tho.

[@bos7522]

From my experience, if u give them enough time to turtle up, theres not much u can do actually break the turtle besides run down the clock, keep denying expansions, until they run out of steam. Usually their first natural is cake to march into because it doesn't have a high ground, and the 2nd natural in the back is also free to straight up walk into. If u ever get infestors onto those sieged up tanks, the game ends immediately. U can take constant losing fights, remax, and go again since u can expand forever while he turtles up on 2 and a half mineral lines all game.

[@fixihartmann2793]

Should i build a crypto named harcoin?

[@amir.r1639]

Omg me too I played 45 min game , all of the map was creep !!!! And I had all of the bases in the map . Terran just had 2 base and IDK he was just idiot or what that he didnt leave the game. At last I killed him by broodlords XD

[@Silhohen]

@@amir.r1639 Yeah I was considering broods, just the turret count was pretty high so wasnt sure if it was the right call ey. Also had the whole map creeped, with macro hatches in all the base locations too incase I accidentally walked into a sieged position. Brood/viper/queen is prolly the idea, blinding cloud the turrets/tanks, heal the vipers through the turrets, send the broods in while the turrets are blind. Any amount of thors prolly counters it tho no?

[@imzesok]

Generally that's how I end up winning ZvT. Just starving them out sucks. a lot of times it feels like you can ever really engage directly if their base is properly setup.

[@TheBrutaline]

[@SaiKisaragi]

I’m so glad that I learned how to a-move as a Protoss. So glad that I played the first mission of the LotV campaign that taught me that a-moving a fucking deathball is how to win games. Maybe delsim should play that mission again because he could have just won so many times over. Or at the very least, weaken the Terran.

[@benjaminhoeft908]

I think a cool series would be if Harstem and a pro picked up an IODIS game from the time that he says "this is practically a free win" and see how it plays out!

[@aikenPL]

Haha, I haven't watched your clips for some time already and suddenly decided to watch this one to procrastinate at work a little bit longer and I don't regret it. I laughed so hard at that ending and your reaction was pure gold. Kudos to Dassem for that bait. I understand that he would eventually win this game but he hesitated too much due to those 3 tanks in the high ground and being out of time due to family stuff he was forced to forfeit.

[@SageSagara]

Man that 4 tank turtle is brutal. When I think I've seen it all, this is truly the reason why terran is imba. (Jokes aside I just feel toss could have ran in and just poke at the defense )

[@Jordan-Ramses]

If you're never going to attack into a Terran with a ground army then why build one?

[@EternalHappElements]

He doesn't have Lazer extension and Intel of enemy setup. It's a good call to stay out after getting 4 well positioned tank shots.

[@balazsfenyes3880]

You do realize that when wife asks to look for the kid and you dont go immediately that's a no-nuts week by default, so the MMR loss is justified.

Ive not been watching a lot of SC2 or followed the E-Sport for a while but somehow stumbled upon these IODIS videos and i must say. This is Quality content and i really enjoy it. Thanks for the entertainment.

[@bencheevers6693]

Damn I love this series, my favorite ignorant trope from this series and salt mines from PiG is the idea that the opponent should have left because it was obviously over, that's the tastiest Himalayan pink salt. It's just chef's kiss. The player goes on to think the only reason they lost is because they're the only gentleman on the ladder and the opponent was just a bad mannered dirtbag. They don't even go through the calculas that the opponent won a game they claimed was over. These nerds play at such a low level that anything can and frequently happens during games and they think that if they get a lead the opponent would just leave as if they were Serral and would never make a mistake despite throwing away their lead immediately.

Totally understand the "my wife needs me upstairs to watch the kid", but yeah, probably not the best thing to send in for an IODIS.

That's kinda to be expected unfortunately, so can't really blame it on terran being IMBA so much as people just being dumb

17:40 Dassem actually sucks (I do too). He is afraid of THREE Tanks on a high ground. Pure Zealot (A-Move) would have won the game. 77 probes to 28 SCVs Perhaps Miko holds the the first three waves of Zealots (I doubt it), but in the end he loses Natural and Third. With a little Micro at the ramp, he would loose the Main as well.

[@basicuser54]

Harstem, in order to further embarrass the submitter: please make a quick follow up vid to show us how you would have cracked this turtle and made him into a nice soup, and you would have done it in time to watch the kids before the wife yelled at you.
