How To Learn Build Orders And Get GOOD | Harstem Hour

[@shawnmoffit]

Hello sir... been watching your videos off and on for years now and just today started playing Starcraft again. You are entertaining, knowledgable, humble and humorous. Thanks for the consistent great content.

[@sonicmaestro]

22:20 Gold Terran here with a couple of degrees in Music... So true! Words I lived by was "Practice makes permanent", and at slower speeds, it is easier to achieve "Perfect". And a big part, is that the brain does not understand the concept of speed, but rather patterns. So if you can consistently pull off a build order at a slower speed, the brain will remember it at faster speeds.

[@ariatcowboy7066]

Thats why you have to practice perfectly, I was always told by my professor "Perfect Practice makes Perfect". If you practice bad habits it makes those permanent and hard to fix later

[@Jpirani00]

@harstem start the game in fastest and open options when its on the countdown screen. Then click gameplay and change the speed to what you want. It makes the clock slow down and accurate for your timings.

[@matthewreid6495]

For anyone crying that the build order isn't in the description, here is the build order from the spawning tool website. :) No need to thank me.

[@michaelross1464]

I've been playing for... lets just say many years. I've recently wanted to stop messing around against computers and climb the ladder. Thank you so much for this one. I saw build orders but hadn't been able to decipher them. Much appreciated.

[@anima94]

I wish Harstem would do more educational videos like this again, his guides were always really good

[@felisk4304]

this is a rare case of a full hour harstem hour! (on 2x speed)

[@lurkeymclurkinson1967]

Harstem the Bob Ross of Starcraft 2. thanks for the video, very informative and useful especially since i main protoss as well. definitely gonna do this from now on when studying and practising build orders.

[@danielskrivan6921]

9-10 hours a day? Those are rookie numbers. Gotta pump those numbers up!

[@kovasm.6088]

"build order will be in the description" It is never in the description guys, don't believe his lies.

@@xoby I think out of the dozens of videos he promised a replay, there's like one or two that actually have them. Actually insane!

[@brianschermerhorn7294]

Never would have thought to slow the game speed down. Great gem here.

[@饅頭象]

26:42 The classic Artosis Pylon

[@flathippo4997]

make sure you always BM the bot too, huge flaw he forgot to mention but this detail actually does make the whole build come together

[@SecondsFromDzazter]

Thank you for the guide. I love how flexible it is depending on what your opponent makes.

[@AB-xo3pl]

The 2 x speed demonstration is me playing at 1 x speed.

[@MrBoombast64]

And me on slow....

Lmao I was laughing out loud watching x2 it’s so true. How I’m coversating with myself just trying to do the build order at faster

@Konnor Ulises woah i managed to get with anders kanes girlfriend, it worked#:D

[@defriseout7427]

Ah, the good old Harstem (not even close)hour

[@FlodurT]

You were not playing attention. You should have watched the video on 0.5x speed :)

[@martinkrauser4029]

just watch it twice, geez. I am not coming from a place of hate or ridicule but genuine concern, you gotta shape up. This is kindergarten-level math, you need to think about working on this skillset. Or do you don't want to be a terran player instead?

[@henrykirby9972]

In the marine corps, when learning to aim a rifle we were told "slow is smooth and smooth is fast"

> this build order is an aggressive one > builds 3rd nexus at 3:30 aggressively

[@Tiogar60]

Aggressive macro plays

[@nikolatasev4948]

I did an Google docs sheet where I input the timings on Fastest and can turn them into times on lower speeds, so I can check against benchmarks while playing on Slowest. I don't mean to brag but I peaked at Gold 3.

[@dennisd1530]

I know harstem will never read this but I had to tell him I started using this build to stop mine drops cause I was struggling with them a bit. 1st game (opponent master3)Mine drop. Worked perfect. 2nd game (opponent diamond 1)He went mass cyclone *which blink owns* and was called a hacker. LolololoL thank you for all your help and videos!

[@MikeSpuches]

i just pulled off this build what felt like perfectly after a lot of practice and watching this and when I checked the replay I hit with 9 stalkers, 1 adept, 1 prism at 5:11 and it felt great to know I was dead on! thanks for the vid from a long time viewer!

[@sonicfirefreak]

I've been enjoying trying to kill Terran with blinkstalkers chargelots, and now I can learn a strong build for it! I never get +1armor first, I guess I definitely should sometimes against bio.

[@ToneFuentes]

Captain! It actually works. Destroying Terrans in silver II (just starting out). I follow up with Dt's and they rage-quit.

[@felixbermudez3782]

Appreciate the explanation on WHY its okay to go 20/16 workers.

[@MisterL2_yt]

4:30 that's not true actually mining increases until 24/16, it's only the 25th worker onwards on minerals that gives you no benefit the workers 17-24 mine at 70% the rate as the first 16

[@xquizitegaming7733]

I think his point is just efficiency. Yes, it increases, but marginally past 20.

[@nickpeh9541]

If you can play something slowly, you can play it quickly!

[@AntimaterieGame]

The 2x speed looked like my ladder games on faster feel for me XD

[@cowboyjoe6108]

Love the improvement videos and ofcourse want more. One can never get to Harstem. =)

[@soulofbook]

This Video is proof that if you can play it slowly, you can play it quickly.

[@dcstar8633]

I saw Day9’s commercial on your channel, so I watched it all the way through. Think it was a 2 minute commercial but never seen Day9 in a commercial before

[@soulofbook]

Now I want to actually see you play another GM on the 2x speed mod, would be just holarious to watch :D

[@arthursandomine5464]

I love that Harstem is ALMOST (but not really) as bad on 200% as me on faster

[@drewaforbes]

Extremely helpful! Thanks!

[@deconscious]

Where do you get the replays from? Is there a site you can download or is it not accessible for us?

[@clee89]

Several pros release replay packs on their discord if you subscribe to them on twitch. Olimoleague is a weekly korean tournament and is the easiest way to get access to high level korean replays and that is probably the best value. To get access to those replays you have to be a patron on the patreon at the $5 level.

i did some changes at this build with parting's start 14 pylon 16 gateway 18 mexus 18 assimilator 19 cyber core 19 assymilator ( 3 probes to first assymilator then from nexus one to minerals and again to assimilator) 20 pylon 21 gateway 21 adept then every things like in this build order up to building 3th nexus but we are doing 3th pylon faster and we don't need to stop probes production (chrono same as in this build) i did same timing as harstem with 3 probes more and i'm only daimond

Harstem you got to up the thumbnail game by adding the arrow to the probe

Go to 12:25. Listen to harstem speak with 0.75 speed. This is how normal dude talking speed should be like, unlike the hamster speed he usually has on..

Harstem terrans are complete crap at defending blink stalker timings, with a proper blink build you'd be able to beat up to about 4.9k terrans consistantly and still be able to use it against 5k< fairly comfortably. I don't even use a proper blink build (until now I like the look of this one) and I can usually snipe the 3rd and stim and I'm 4k (Diamond 1, higher than Diamond 2)
