As someone who does competitive kickboxing training, I appreciate that Harstem was honest about not knowing what he's talking about for the boxing analogy (at 6:00) despite making perfect sense with it XD

The zerg constantly losing 60~80 supply each skirmish is so mindblowing despite having the advantage. But the poor decisionmaking literally makes them lose it all.

Getting burrow & then not using burrow to cancel the Cyclone lock-on/save the Roach was painful. This was Diamond 1, so the micro should be decent, this guy should have won almost outright with the Roaches, burrow hurt Roach, reinforce with lings, after Roach unburrows & while behind the other Roaches use gas to morph it into a Ravager & heal it, repeat that until game ends in a win.

There are so many micro mistakes that someone might think it's his micro and not his macro that lost him the game. If he just reviewed his macro fundamentals be would dominate this Terran regardless of all the micro mistakes he made

He just didn't build viable unit composition, in my opinion. Not a single baneling was built in this game and they destroy both Cyclones and hellbats

After seeing Serral vs Spirit on Winter's channel right before this video, I can tell you there is a way as a zerg to trade efficiently against mech. It's not easy though, but doable.

It's not necessarily doable for a ladder hero if it's serral. Ngl controlling viper investor roach ravager isn't something anyone under GM can do efficiently

Harstem, I know you're GM, but... don't recommend Vipers to a guy who has ZERO creep spread. Gotta learn to walk before you run.
@alttilehmusmetsa59262 сағат бұрын
In my opinnion you can learn to use vipers in fight even though you are not fast or precise enough to spread creep every cycle. I think they work different times if that makes sense
@abyrvalg_6 минут бұрын
The funniest thing is that he could just built ling-bane-ultra and be fine against that composition. Not a single baneling was built in this game. Ling-bane destroy mass cyclone. Ling-bane with infestors (with neural in case of mass thor transition) to support + ultras and spire in case of BC transition. I'm a Diamond 3 plebs and actually much worse than this guy, maybe I'm wrong, pls correct me. Also it is a good practice to build 5 spines a little bit FORWARD of your base, not behind defending absolutely nothing like our man Harstem loves to say.
