I feel like this is 100% google translated.

[@williamduan2322]

loool, it makes sense that google translate would translate hellion into evil fire lol.

[@vjekobasic7059]

And creep into fungal carpet. Fuck it, I'm calling it fungal carpet from now on, I actually like that.

[@retarepo]

@@williamduan2322 The question is, what is it in the Chinese client. the game is not always literally translated.

[@williamduan2322]

@@retarepo oh, it's spelt 恶火, and the first character means literally means evil, the second one fire loool. So yeah, I'd say it was a pretty good English to Chinese translation (especially since Hell, translated literally into Chinese, is a two-character word, and not nearly as catchy), and a totally sensible Chinese to English translation from Google. Same with creep tumor, which is translated into 菌(bacteria, fungal, etc)毯(carpet)瘤(tumor), and hence the fungal carpet tumor lol。

[@SN-ym1sv]

i will open all my next ZvT with the words: "Your evil fire shall not burn my fungal carpets!" instead of "glhf"

[@Jordan-Ramses]

The Chinese wrote the art of war, but they also invented gunpowder and didn't make a weapon out of it.

[@vinnieg6161]

@@Jordan-Ramses China Black powder (or gunpowder) was invented in China during the 9th century; these inventions were later transmitted to the Middle East and Europe. The direct ancestor of the firearm is the fire lance. The prototype of the fire lance was invented in China during the 10th century and is the predecessor of all firearms. Don't know where you got that but China definitely made weapons with their gun powder..

The monkey poop stock picking analogy is actually quite accurate. Most of the time a portfolio of randomly picked stocks does just as well as professionally picked stock portfolios.

"You're a poor military strategist - and not only that my friend, you also suck." I mean, shit, if that doesn't sum it up, then nothing will! I'd be both honored and highly amused to face this critique from Harstem. LOL!

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

I like Harstems work ethic. I only saw him cut a replay short 1 time. He otherwise always sees it through even though they obviously suck long before that.

survivalship bias is another way of "trying to justify a bad play" Just because it worked once or twice in the past, doesn't necessarily mean it was a good play... It may work once or twice, out of 1000 plays.

Is it just me or does it feel like Harstem takes up more space on the screen with each episode?

[@InturnetHaetMachine]

There are some actually great life lessons to those actually listening. A Bad result doesn't mean it was a bad decision, it is possible you got unlucky. Similarly a good result doesn't mean it was necessarily a good action. Maybe you bet 1-1000 on something and just got plain lucky.

How is it that Zerg always has that much apm compared to Terran/Prot? Because of the Larva mechanic?

Holding down a key boosts your APM, and with Zerg there's a lot of key-holding (spawning units from hatcheries, morphing, etc.)

If you think about it, what the heck is "creep"? Fungal carpet is much more logical and realistic. It sounds funny at first, but it would give much more credibility to StarCraft lore if it was called fungal carpet from the start.

Seriously, if you only read two books/treatises in your life, go find a copy of the Art of War and The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli, the perspectives of two statesmen from two different sides of the world and separated by centuries who both had once-in-a-generation minds (twice in Machiavelli’s case, Given the fact that Leonardo da Vinci was around at the same time, give or take a few years)

Hospital 15km from the city center? That's kinda what we have no in the german town I live in, for they shut down the ones in the city center to relocate everything to the new big thing out at the far edge of the city. My hometown has a similar issue, where the main hospital for the entire region, not just county, is not even in that big hometown, but some village in bumfuck nowhere 5km from the town's edge. However, the road to the cemetery that is still in the town is well organized: stonemason, old people's home, flower shop, bus stop, crematorium, cemetery. It's almost a production line.

[@nfzeta128]

Prewatch: I'm sorry but Terran can't complain about Zerg remax. Terran is the most efficient at dealing with zerg, both in terms of units and also just because playing the defense king that is terran means remaxing is actually less of a threat than it would be to either Protoss or another zerg. Literally just have out a few tanks or libs and usually you can discourage most things. If you lost hard enough that they can just push out with everything and you can't slow them down then you were just supposed to die there.

[@stoobydoobydoo]

Our Chinese Terran here 100% used Google translate. Why even send in a replay if you can't understand the feedback harstem is going to provide lol.

Harstem, in another TVZ game you said it is not really necessary for terran to scout with SCV because not much happening on the other side, as long as you scout with reaper, its oK. So, now being ironically against this one not scouting right away, a bit contradicting.

Man! DECLINCED By grammar totally killed me! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@SharienGaming]

on survivor bias - there is a classic example from WW2, where the brits found that their planes after returning from bombing missions had almost no hits to the armored front of the plane and lots of hits on the wings, so they asked their engineers and mathematicians whether they should armor the wings instead, since the front is barely getting hit the answer they got was to armor the front where the engine is... because they were looking at the planes that came back... planes that were hit where the engine or pilot are...do not tend to come back to be examined
