this comment is so good that i now desperately want to see a situation like this but in RL so i can say it and make people think i'm super clever.

[@allhailderpfestor4839]

The funny thing is that he would Have absolutely demolished protoss if he went full bronze league and spammed battlecrusiers. He had better eco for like 80% of game with thousands of resources in bank He already got +3 air atk and fusion core for his libs The reason why he lost is entirely due to him not knowing what to do against distruptors. So all he needed to do was just spam air and laugh at stalkers because stalkers are only anti air this toss can have and etalkers are not good enough against greater volume of air units than single digit liberators. But instead this man repeatedly fed soldiers to glowing balls or run away so fast that his liberators are free pickups

2:30 The Phoenix and the Oracle are both from Greek mythology. So if you want to know if your opponent might build them, you just need to know whether the match is set in Greek mythology. Thankfully, Terrans have an easy trick to do that: You see, Hercules is also from Greek mythology. So if you can't build a Hercules, that means that Greek mythology isn't active, so you don't need to worry about Phoenixes and Oracles. By the way, the Zerg can check this, too, by seeing if Hydras are available.

The actual crazy thing about this was during the crazy drop in the main, he got 2 robo's and a robo bay at 12:16. The toss didn't have other splash than robo-tech the entire game and didn't finish REBUILDING THE ROBO-BAY UNTIL 16:32. That was over 4 mins where the terran could've just sniped the tech units and rolled over his opponents pure gateway, but instead he sits back.

[@mglegacy012]

Isn’t it weird how that always happens? “Well I’m maxed, better use this time to secure my 11th command centre” I also love how he’s up 90 supply and sees like 3 disruptors and runs for his life 😂

[@disieh]

TBF the tech units were all in a ball that he just could not go anywhere near without getting blasted by distruptors. Yoloing to snipe distruptors is risky in the sense that you need non-trivial chunk of bio to kill it fast enough. If you lose enough of them too quickly, it's a tell for protoss that bio ball is small enough to attack into. Then after you lose the whole army the game instantly snowballs out of control. That was what the Terran was really trying to avoid. Hence the so few attacks.

5k minerals but no battle cruisers to yamato disruptors and colosi? no hellion run bys? very few mines? no siege tanks for the stalkers? why so many marauders? yikes lol fascinating analysis, nice video

[@simeonpolet1307]

Battle cruisers could have been an idea at some point, but they take a long time to build and if there's too many stalkers they aren't really good anymore. He isn't gonna do helions run by because he plays bio. Mine are good against zealot, not stalkers-colossus-disruptors. Marauders are really good against protoss.

[@k3llym0]

@@simeonpolet1307 but couldn't the battle cruisers, in theory, base race faster with yamatos on nexi to prevent recalls, then stalkers could base race having to blink into siege tanks/bunkers/marauders/medivacs? i'd of atleast suggested he atleast try to base race at 5k minerals, easier said then done I suppose. he did a few good early game hellion run bys, perhaps a few more on the undefended flank bases? marauders are good units, damage and health wise, they just have range/mobility issues. they are so big, and fat, they often doom not just them selves but other units around or behind them as well. And they dont split very efficiently, because they have high ''outer radius'' values in the inner/outer radius data fields.

Disrupters might not be OP at top play levels, but I think you can make the argument that they are incredibly punishing to make a mistake against in a way that makes learning to play against them much harder than learning to play with them. I submit that that makes them overpowered at certain locations in the learning curve.

Its difficult to quantify something as OP if players are too lazy to learn the basics of how units work. This game is a great example - the reason he ate Novas was because he didn't know that if you run away from a Nova you have to Stim... or you can't run away lol. In that sense Disruptors look underpowered to me - because this guy made it to top Masters with such a massive hole in his knowledge of the basics, and he STILL WON this game several times - he just refused to finish it.

7:30 Hold up a second, Harstem. His micro was 0 out of 10!? Are you kidding? Now I know you're gonna exaggerate a bit for the purpose of entertainment, but literally no micro? No. He did better than average and a 5 is obviously average. Just because he could have done things better does not mean that his micro was literally that of a bronze league hero. He did a good job picking up instead of eating that first disruptor shot in the face. Doesn't matter that the perfect response would have been to snipe it. He did well to avoid it and well is above average. You are too focused on what the perfect response always is that if it isn't a 10 for you then it's a 0... A 0 is not even using interference. A 0 is eating that first nova to the face. He actually did a pretty okay job for a master. A 0 is not stutter-stepping while going deeper into his base to get damage done along the way. I'd say his micro was probably around a 6/10. Above average. He did eat that second nova, and yea MAYBE he should have waited to use those Interference matrices. But honestly, I think you were wrong about that. I think that it was fine to use those then. And just because it wasn't the time you would have done them, and he disagreed with you, doesn't mean you're right. It may very well have been a great time to use them. He isn't as good as you are and probably would have lost a ton of bio while getting hit with Colossus and Purification Novae at the same time. Maybe he would have just picked up and left and not gotten anything done at all, even if it wasn't a lot. I think it's a great psychological victory for him here, and a point where he can start getting on track. But whatever, the point is he was doing FAR better than if he wasn't doing any micro at all. Negative hyperbole isn't going to help him. He needs to know what he's doing right and not told that he's complete garbage, even if he does suck. Because seriously dude... "The protoss sits buying time!?" What the FUCK is this guy talking about LMAO. When he wins the game he just suddenly stops doing anything. He just like checks out and goes to take a dump or something. His army to the south just sits there doing NOTHING right on the Protoss' front doorstep FOR 12 FUCKING SECONDS, an eternity in SC2 time. And he should have been sending the rest of his giant army right through the center well before he decided to check out. But instead his massive army, 200 to 107 supply, just sits at home doing NOTHING for 44 seconds!!!

How do mines compare to disruptors tho. They can’t move, they do less damage in a smaller area most likely only once before it dies with less range. The only thing is they can hit air which is basically the best way to defend mutts until they have a single over seer.

With the amount of bank red had, he could afford to make a line of tanks with his army and whenever disruptor shots came he could retreat the bio while leaving the tanks there, protoss cant follow your units, you can regroup and allow your medivacs to heal your units then attack again.
