The moral of the story is that a Terran on 7 bases who constantly produces basic units all the time will beat a 3 base Zerg who doesn't produce units.

[@minhducnguyen9276]

And when he produced units, he used the wrong ones. Roach and lings would beat marines any day. But he preferred to throw hydra at the giant blue blob.

[@MsHojat]

Yes, however zerg was trying to get more but was constantly pressured by terran. There's more at play than simplifying it down to that. This same strategy was also kind of viable in Brood War as well. A more clear issue would have been how he didn't build any roaches. Roaches with hydralisks will do well against unstimmed non-medivac marines, but only hydralisks will do quite poorly.

[@topanteon]

Well to be fair, the Zerg started losing when he was on 3 bases while his enemy was on 1 base.

@@MsHojat Zerg was pressured and couldn't handle it, but it began to crumble hard when he failed the defense of the 3rd base against 15 unupgraded marines. He was supply blocked for 30 seconds there, stopped queen production at 5, miscontrolled his zerglings, queens and spine crawlers. Zerg never recovered from that, he was shook forever. It took him like 2 minutes to rebuild his 3rd base. It's an economic game, the terran is just pumping numbers with 5 bases against 3 bases, while the zerg is wasting time hesitating and thinking.

This was so comical. I have seen this strategy before. I believe PiG showcased it- not sure who sent it in, but it was hilarious. Just built barracks and CC's, pumped out the marines by the hundreds! By the time he had three CC's, there were ten barracks up, and on the third there were 18... the flow of marines never stopped. It really is a hard thing to manage the build order and still keep marines flowing out that fast, so there is some management skill involved with the flood of rines'.

[@tommydashed4205]

It's not that hard. You hit the hot key for barracks and hold down the button for marines until one or two marines are q'd up in each barrack. takes less than 2 seconds. It's about as hard as hitting the hotkey for larva and holding down the ling button.

[@chrisgriffith1573]

@@tommydashed4205 I only mean that when adding new barracks, each one needs to be added to the hot key, then rallied along with the others, and along with managing the expo's, (for which without a massive income there will be no army) and micro'ing the troops, is quite a lot to keep up with- because an army of pure marines needs to be massive to have an impact if you want to win.

@@chrisgriffith1573 Just like when you make any structure you create a hotkey for it, the argument didn't get any more valid.. If anything its the simplest to just have the same structure type on one macro and add to it because then it is one hotkey instead of 2-3.

Marines are the basic unit for Terrans. Low cost, low health, low but fast ranged damage. In small groups they're not phenomenal but in large quantities they can reach a critical mass and wipe out everything. But they have a tendency to clump together, which makes them weak to Banelings, which deal bonus damage in an area to light units like Marines.

[@nerdlord2288]

The terran just falcon punched and the zerg walked into it

[@abebuckingham8198]

Most of the units have a counter and marines are no exception. Zerg has three really good tools to deal with them, zerglings, banelings and roaches. However a player normally moves on to other units, which this Terran never did so without scouting his opponents base he didn't realize it was pure marines. What's worse is that Zerg has really easy scouting with Overlords. They are a cheap, basic unit that can fly into their base and see everything. However what really lost him the game was that the Terran economy was much bigger. He took more bases and that gives more income, which gives more units and eventually that overwhelmed the Zerg even though he had a bad strategy.

[@kirktown2046]

"What was this? ... So outside of my house, there are a bunch of pigeons..." AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Miro_X]

This honestly just came down to the T having better macro. For the record, the Terran looked like he was doing a "staircase" drill where he makes only marines, but is only allowed to get upgrades and combat shields. It's designed to work exclusively on macro mechanics. The zerg never got a decent drone count, his creep was mediocre at best, and his spending even despite having low drone count was poor, considering that he was consistently floating over 1.5k minerals once he got his third base.

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

Mostly came down to too few banes and hydras being built against marines imo. If the zerg had double marines and put all the hydras into zerglings, he could've easily counterattacked after killing 90 supply of marines.

[@NestedQuantifier]

@@asdfasdf-mn8iu I think it came down to him using 20 larvae on lings to fend off the first attack instead of building 5 extra queens and using the larvae on drones.

[@EverythingYouNeedToKnowEYN2K]

yes, was just about to say that, must b a bot

[@NestedQuantifier]

Lol at calling people bots. It's called marine splitting and macro. And sometimes bad plays. The terran literally moved his marine before the zerg targeted it. Why the fuck would he know that the zerg was going to target it? The zerg played badly and the terran is now a bot? LMAO. You think a bot does marine splitting so badly that he lets a bunch of banelings walk past his ball of marines, then hit them en mass? And also use f2-a most of the time? A gold player could marine split better than this. This is literally just a normal terran practicing a macro build.

[@NestedQuantifier]

Seriously, what kind of shitty bots are in your imagination? Why do you imagine a bot would simply move a marine that is targeted by banelings back, and LET THE BANELING WALK BY HIS CLUMP OF MARINES? Did you know that a baneling could change his target, or just explode at any time? And what is "immediately have the marine turn around and start firing after the zerg player fixed it."

Of course, we both picked Allies to start with, and we just turtled. In RA2, Allies' specialty is Paratrooper drops, which is basically every... I wanna say 60 seconds? you get 5 free GIs (think: Marines). We simply turtled and let the other team slowly whittle away the stuff in the center of the map while the GIs piled up and piled up and piled up, and we hid behind Gap Generators of our own so the enemy couldn't see what was happening. We made a few tanks and other stuff to clash with them near the center and make it look like we were going to attack them and that we were doing poorly, but in truth, both of us had 100+ GIs that were deployed (they have more defense and do more damage when deployed but they can't move). Long story short, when they finally cleared the center of the map, they brought their heaviest tanks down... that got insta-shredded by the GIs. They had a few aircraft, but we'd also built ample AA too. They wound up quitting the match after they blew 70%+ of their resources on tanks that got destroyed within 10 seconds but yet they barely put a dent in our GIs and they realized that those GIs were _free of charge._

8:45 Harstem unleashing his frustration with banelings on poor pigeons made me laugh "This is the stone that I'm throwing, and these are the PIGEons while there's a massive loaf of BREAD or.. CORN or whaTEvEr that PIGEons eat." - Harstem

[@halahmilksheikh]

This Terran makes me want to play SC2 again

[@Wotan-Botan-420XD]

i think this dude played Beating platinums with stupid stuff hes a fan of you harstem

[@martinkrauser4029]

Harstem: "This is the dumbest game I've seen in my life." Lambo and DNS: "Hold our beers."

[@slinkytapz1163]

"if my grandma had wheels she'd be a bicycle"~ Famous words from Harstem

[@shutdowndll6140]

"So sadly i have to give u a Suck" Harstem i love you :D

[@Franpowah]

I love how much work went into editing, so funny and informative

[@宋延杰]

This terran is smurfing. Maybe he is doing "Beating 3k with stupid stuff" while he is master or GM.

[@plantex625]

Hes clearly doing something odd. Maybe practicing his macro by forcing himself to win with only marines? Or learning offrace and he watched a guide that said "just mass marines until diamond"?

[@CamaradaArdi]

You're chinese, right? what does the thing he said mean?

[@宋延杰]

@@CamaradaArdi The google translate is close. I think maybe he is talking about the skin.

[@宋延杰]

@GlowyBoi Well, I have played in CN server for quite some time and I know what 3k players are like. Both the micro and macro of the terran are way beyond his opponent. Maybe masters is too high, but he is no way near 3k. Players at 3k get supply blocked so often that he cannot pump out that many marines at this rate.

[@宋延杰]

@GlowyBoi Okay, good to know. Thanks.

[@pschafer89]

My god. I honestly never realized how many letters "marines" and "minerals" have in common. Thanks for the language lesson Harstem!

[@gilga888]

I came for harstem but stayed for hamster

[@Hylebos75]

I came for marines but stayed for minerals

[@kurusujann6660]

I love how Harstem is putting out notes and other info during the match up. Quality content there. Funny that the terran didn't even bother building reactor add-ons to those barracks and just continued pumping out marines like how zerg pump out zerglings and banelings... or to be more funny, like how Has just pumped out zealots and played protoss but with zerg strategies when he went against Dream and Cure. Lol

[@benjaminchen8857]

lol OP doesn’t understand the power of roaches. Roach gets 1 armor automatically, so very efficient as front line. I never fight if hydras are the front line tanking. I love this episode because the Terran zerged the Zerg this time

[@Leonardodeboni0406]

Its was Just too much Terran haha

[@stc2828]

Roach is not great against marines when there are way too many of them

[@sean-michaelconroy7686]

Basically Orcs helmsdeep bearers of the flame flame bearers blow up the thing those are the banelings blow up the banelings And in order to do that you need HUMAN SACRIFICE ZvT is a confusing matchup
