Beating grandmaster with stupid stuff, send a bunch of nukes into the corner of the map so your opponent gets really confused every time he hears the nuclear missile warning but then doesn't see a nuke, then after like 10 times, just nuke like 3 of his bases at once

[@flappy7373]

this is a fantastic idea. the anxiety would be insane. but he has to start by landing at least 1 nuke on the opponent, so the guy knows the threat is real

[@jacobfaro9571]

Do this on fastest map ever.

[@damedley75]

Now that really is stupid! Wonderfully mental!

[@Cawfeesomething]

After the ‘missed’ nukes land offscreen doing 0 damage, have the ghost immediately poke the nearest building or a worker so that he gets the attack warning. Should amplify the confusion even more

[@flappy7373]

@@Cawfeesomething hopefully hamster sees this and suggests harstem do it. the more comments and upvotes it gets, the higher the chances that it'll happen!

[@SaulGoodman3D2049]

31:01 Harstem saying "I'm out of scans" as he looks at a nearly full energy Orbital that isn't in his hotkey is hilarious. You just know he'd have made fun of if it if this was an IODIS submission :P

[@Teferi66]

So glad someone else saw that 🤣

[@eelcohoogendoorn8044]

Going on creep there was definitely a balsy move... but.while terrran may not have recall; you did have a crapton of medivacs over those ghosts as the ling surround came in, and they have this cool pickup ability...

[@Teferi66]

That was driving me crazy, so many medivacs and only like once did he pick any ghosts up

[@supermcspotty]

@@Teferi66 he was role-playing them as kerrigan

[@jn278]

it's hilarious how much he respects the "gg before win counts as another win" rule 10:20

[@DanielHsHu]

The real reason for the loss is no neosteel upgrade for planetaries. With extra 2 armour, lings would not kill Harstems income so fast and he would have much more ghosts

[@henningbreede6428]

That's some blizzard forum level comment.

[@andrewferguson6901]

Needed ghost bunkers to wall

[@Tyrouge222]

I wish Harstem pick up those ghosts with medivac, then it might have been a different game

[@geuros]

well yeah, I'd rather have him properly emp infestors before trying to snipe anything. Also he could fungaled even after emp-ing the infestor - because it doesn't take all energy (like feedback does)

[@dogfoot1874]

25:49 always cloak your ghost before you put them in the medivac Harstem Rookie move

[@veilnebula2411]

there is also a disarm option which is even more important

[@Sara_Feingold]

Game 1: I think I have a build order. Game 2: None of it sounds very good. The Harstem experience XD

[@Ty-bz7zx]

Painful watching all your ghosts just die instead of picking them up with the 18 medivacs right there ?!? =(

[@cmnatic3953]

I think I would die inside if I matched with Harstem in the queue. How do you prepare for someone who'll literally build anything and everything hahaha. Lovely video as always (:

love how harstem was massing the 2 units that counter the lurker (ghost and tank) and the zerg still decides to go lurker, just shows how good the unit is in the matchup

Lol underrated comment

[@vitorh3568]

39:21 reality Ghosts are good... but the range attack of those lurkers = snipe LoL

[@darthdeboplays]

Hey Harstem, love your videos been watching them for years now. It's what got me into playing StarCraft at all. Eventually I got into doing some ranked stuff were I peaked just above gold (very much just from suck, no imba). Anyways, you likely will not see this but I ended up finding some other SC2 content creators and feel like there might be some interesting things you might be able to get into with Giant Grant Games. If you haven't heard him he is big into Speedruns and challenge runs for SC2 and other RTS. I'm not big brain enough to think of the perfect synergy there, but I feel like the two of you would be able to make some killer stuff like the things you've done with UpATreeZelda

[@damedley75]

44:30 Interesting stuff! If you do mines instead of tanks that could be cool. Seems like they could help slow down run-bys more cost efficiently. Overseers have so much HP but 2 snipes still take them out. Zerg nightmare if your whole main army suddenly cloaks! I know this isn't a pro move, but since you have free supply anyway bunkers might work. Rally some cheap marines in early, and you could even stash your newly minted Ghosts later, removing them when you have time to join them with your main army.

[@apophenic_]

I love this idea. Would like to see it used by a pro.

[@bobhockey2509]

Even his mom calls him Harstem. The only time he gets called Kevin is when he talks to himself.

[@sycariummoonshine7134]

no way timestamp?

[@lucius8675]

This was my favorite episode so far. The third game was so much fun to watch.

[@benstevens1214]

Harstem, that sound you made at 13:50 as your pushing to get the reaper out, I totally lost my shit.....LOL. Good work on the save. Thanks for the good old belly laugh 🤣

[@tanguyvranckx1134]

There is a pervasive fatalistic vein running through Harstem's life lessons. The hallmark of a true warrior.

[@wking4699]

That was a sick game at the end lol. Snipes are my favorite spell I think

[@jackawaka]

I find all of his commentary really entertaining. It follows that fine line of ridiculousness and calmness.

[@OsOkod]

HARSTEM i SUGGESTED _this VIDEO about 4 or 5 days AGO thankyou for DOING IT!!!! :D greetz from germany KZbin to you!

[@blocklandia1770]

As a toss and Zerg player, watching mass ghost doesn’t feel stupid, it feels imba lol.

[@mr.quantum4543]

Hahahahaha "he threw a gg before I left too, so that's a double win for him!" Hahahaha brilliant

[@ebbethinggaard]

I love that you took BGWSS to the other races, let the fun continue!

Idea: Play whatever you want and however you want, but you have to tell your opponent your strategy and timings

Haha! "Hello, this is harstem. My viewers said I have to tell you my build and timings. Here ya go. (Etc) also my stream is (url) Please watch along."

[@Dismuth]

He said he wouldn't do anything that requires typing in chat.

[@thierryvaillant4629]

ill just go ahead and say it , its really nice to see that you dont only post the games where you win. most poeple do that but loses are still content and not always bad content.

[@Andrew-qu7lq]

thinking of the 2nd game, during his push, would a counter of sending a medivac with 4 ghosts to drop nukes in the main base to kill off spawning pool, bane nest or whatever be feasible?

[@garnetg987]

Thoughts on that first game: getting an armory for hellbats would have made a world of difference.

[@MarcFireHart]

Baaaaaahahahaha.. I had to laugh at that comment. "tanks have been disappointing me, because they don't burrow instantly" Priceless!

Harstem transforming everything into a planetary - 5 minutes later "Why don't I have any scans available?" (and something I don't want to repeat here)

[@XultanisDragon]

Ghost in Starcraft Broodwar was the strongest unit in the game if used in Mass. It had good damage but what really made it the strongest was the range.

[@Icetemplar]

Yah, mass ghost in broodwar if you could get to it was crazy

[@Icetemplar]

They also had the lockdwon ability which was also crazy

[@damedley75]

2:30 I was just noticing this myself! The Ghost Academy being cheap, not the timeshare stuff...

[@eliasjosephsson3994]

Awesome gameplay and personality, great entertainment.

As soon as you hit 30 your APM starts to go down 40-50% every year. So get it to like, 5000 while you can.

Can someone explain why not got for hellbats. Just spit when bangs come because they can deal with lings just fine and ghost with everything else

try ghost bc vs zerg like someone did to you in your Zerg series. snipe queens very early and then bc into gg!

[@ImoowhenIPoo]

Harstem is a good boi.

[@WhitefoxSpace]

Is there any way we can have this again with a Hamster "NukeCam™️"?

[@gameworldaim7609]

The last match was a close one but when you stopped producing tanks you stopped trading favorably, it was a sick match and it would have been even sicker if you would have sniped his detection and let your opponent blind, it was so risky to do that when he had lost of bains but later on it was a good opportunity.

[@retarepo]

in the first and last game I was wondering, why no blueflame?

Ghost academies have to be reasonably cheap in order to encourage building multiple for nuke storage.

[@scrappile5925]

Another great video in the best starcraft series !

[@haimmaik]

if you ever do this again and the opponent makes infestors u have to try to make a small hit squad of ghost try to emp them before u walk into creep i think, u seemed to have been blasting him up until the point where u started getting fungled left and right

[@blagovestpilarski8195]

cant believe you nearly won with mass ghost without rapidfire snipe binded :D

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

I can't wait to find out if ghosts are truly IMBA

[@xXiklititiXx]

harmstem the reason why you make this noise is because you want the outcome to be different then reality. it is expressed in the body as tension. some people can get rid of it easy but it can also result in anxiety. you can not only get rid of tension with meditation but also get a mindset where you accept everything as it is and not even build tension. but this is just theorie we always will encounter new stuff. gl hf in life m8

Definately redo, I don't think it's wrong to start out the game with a really strong build so you can get into ghosts like was the problem in the first game but the problem is accidentally winning before crushing their dreams with ghosts.

[@davidtuazon5381]

I hope he does this again, but with medivac micro. So many Ghosts coulda been saved if medivacs took em up.
