He LOST To An AFK Player?! | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck

Harstem might not know it yet, but we do. This dude seems to have gone afk in the middle of the Match. And todays guest still loses?! What the hell is going on with these complains? Smash like to help me recover from that!

Protoss too weak in TvZ

[@seri-ously8591]

Just from the form alone and seeing the words, "Perfect", "Micro", "Macro" and "Multi-task" from a Terran already sparks entertainment. Then I saw Hydra-Corruptor and I knew Harstem wouldn't miss the chance to not let Lowko live that down. Most passive Zerg I've seen and as expected from a product from Wish(TM), it's a botched job.

[@nightmareTomek]

"I'm a gold player with perfect micro and macro."

At 12:30 there suddenly is a Protoss player in the game and he lost 850 Resources. Is that Harstem did Harstem through watching this game lose brain Resources??

You know it's going to be good when a platinum player says he did everything perfect!

[@Jordan-Ramses]

But he responded to a tech switch by changing the balance of the two tier 1 units he was making. Or at least in his mind he did.

[@beckerzineo]

Lol exactly my thoughts, guy is Plat and says everything was "on point", on top of that even talks about "multitasking", I'm yet to see multitasking in Diamond, let alone Plat 🤣

[@beckerzineo]

@@Jordan-Ramses I mean, he's Terran lol, those two units are pretty imba (still not enough for him)

[@tommydashed4205]

@@beckerzineo Yeah even in low to mid master league multitasking isn't really a thing. they might split their armies more and have something that approaches it but multitasking is the pinnacle of skill in this game. When you can control two armies and macro at the same time nearly as well as you would normally while focused just on one of those things, even if "normally" for you isn't absolutely amazing, you can probably get to high master. I'm in high diamond and I play against masters all the time and I know from that personal experience that neither me nor my opponent are multitasking really, if we split our focus it becomes very apparent during the replays.

[@Quantincodontirontu]

Or: you know it's going to be platinum when the player says he did everything perfectly

[@CatacombD]

The interesting thing is that, even though he didn't micro at all, if he had simply sent his "multitask" groups out with A-moves instead of move commands, he might've won. So many of the fights were his units dying without ever firing a shot as they try to walk through the zerg army. Also, it would've helped him if he just stopped making any mines or tanks. They're great units, sure, but I think you can count the number of times the mines and tanks were actually able to fire on a single hand each.

[@ruffianeo3418]

I agree - he move-commanded his squads to some random locations for a new, "surprising" attack angle. But due to map layout and creep, the Zerg saw it coming from miles away. What I do not get is, that his camera was looking at it. Whenever I rally troops to some spot on the map and my troops just die, I usually look at my base, building stuff etc.

[@_..E]

21:21 really characterizes this entire video. Mines trying to path past hydras while unstimmed marines lose a fight they should have won. This guy's obviously not entirely incompetent, but really really needs to work on micro.

[@ultimaterusemaster]

I swear every one of these submissions only makes the race of the submitter seem OP. In this case, terran had negative micro in every single fight, somehow managed a 10k resource lost deficit in a TvZ, and still managed to be kind of in the game still. This is something I would submit as the zerg player for terran being imbalanced.

[@kozatas]

For a Plat player, he's focusing macro so hard that he was able to stay in the game. I remember when I was in the silver league, I always try to blink micro, try to fungal, storm, feedback etc. Even I was floating in minerals. He simply produced more stuff but threw them. I think he is on the right path, he can later add micro. Macro is more important in lower leagues.

[@eulefranz944]

Replays like these remind me how efficient Terran army is. It's insane how much value these units trade for

[@emissarygw2264]

Surprisingly good trades considering no stim and medivacs not even in the fight most of the time

[@mh-fh2vy]

Now compare the difficulty of terran micro to zerg aclicks. Zerg dont have to micro at all and make a good fight with the these aclick compositions.

[@TheCrawlingBananas]

Found the platinum player ^

[@mariomolnar3184]

This dude: "kevin, i threw all my units almost for free and still somehow lost. Is it imba or do i suck?"

[@ParleLeVu]

Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen worse micro in my life. Just pressing stim and standing still would be infinitely better.

[@10Neon]

I wish there was a "deaths witnessed" stat just for those medivacs.

[@danielskrivan6921]

I like that the Zerg not only went with the Lowko build, but went with the Lowko anti-air build against a pure ground army (with medivacs).

[@ParleLeVu]

And got scared every time he won a fight, and retreated with a full army vs 6 marines and 2 liberators or something similar.

It's not that he lost to an afk opponent, it's that at 26:05 he lost a fight against afk units.

[@saxus]

9:05 it's impressive to see that this is a TvZ match and Protoss lost money on the fight. I think we all can agree that this is IMBA.

[@johnvavryshko7241]

Almost 100% of his widow mines walked to their death without ever being burrowed. I'm really confused why he even built them.

[@ferallhamster970]

I do it a lot too (as a pathetic diamond Terran) it’s bcs u press burrow then a move the army and they walk instead of burrowing when u a move. Just mistakes that happen in a game

[@zwikki]

I like that protoss is that much undertuned currently that they somehow managed to loose resources in this games ^^ 12:22

[@SZRLM]

I really love how we start this game with raising a depot last section and to block the path of the SVC making the second depot and move commanding the first two marines this leaving the overlord at like 4hp causing a scan to be used later. I also like the pro move of going up to 5 tech labs after all research is done and then only making marines from them for another 8 minutes.

[@AnotherOne11111]

12:23 this dude traded so bad his off race lost resources...

[@Raxmei]

Yeah he does mule a few times. At around 11:15 when he floated down his third base he called down a mule while the base was still airborne and it did a full trip carrying minerals from his third to his natural. Then later on after the base has landed he drops some more.

[@sechsauge]

12:40 "The three medivacs" comment got me. Laught my ass off. Wasn't prepared for it. Thanks for that :)

[@EdselsBakedGoods]

This reminds me of my BIL. We were Masters 2v2 both Terran. I controlled the whole army, so he could focus on Macro. His build order wasn't as clean as mine, but in the late game his Macro was on point. He didn't ladder 1v1, but I figured he was at least Platinum. We entered into a 1v1 friendly tournament and he lost to Sliver/Gold players. He Macroed well, but just sent all his units to their death. I realized he didn't know how to control units at all (A Move would've been better than what he did). I didn't notice in 2v2, because he would just defend his base with Static D. I also realized that if I'm doing 100% of the Micro, then of course his Macro will be on point. There's nothing else to do!

[@hairold5680]

I love how the zerg could have just rushed his base at anytime with great success, but he never did lol Only at the end when his army was beefed up

12:21 -850 Resources for Protoss in a TvZ. Now that's an impressive trade.

[@Galahad54]

It looked like Clem was doing a speed run for the GM to Bronze challenge. Macro was Diamond 1 - Master 3 (except for the lack of mules),, but the micro - what micro? Also, stim, siege, burrow, add liberators, kill creep. Burrowed mines alone would have made this a walk in the park.
