Mass immortal RUSH cheesiest man alive StarCraft 2

[@phoxcaither]

Started SC1 back in the day; don’t play now - but Harstem’s channel is just too much fun not to watch. Thanks for keeping the game alive.

[@themistercoolest]

its not a harstem video if he doesnt incorrectly sing cotton eye joe

[@Werkzeug-100]

Time stamp pls

[@space_orphan]

You never heard the classic track "Pickle-eye Joe"???

[@dba8211]

​@space_orphan ah that good old classic Pickle Eye Joe, really brings me back.

[@matth1005]

It's a real classic in the Netherlands

[@nnm711]

Harstem: "terrans stick to their old tactics... if they are thinking at all" Also Harstem: *uses ANCIENT strategies* - Can't teach an old dog new tricks I guess, lol

[@Norirane]

22:08 So, this might be a bug, but at the moment on this map you can't fit stalkers through on that ramp if you mine that particular patch of minerals (closest to the bottom left corner) same goes for the mirrored ramp, it's still the same patch that's broken. However if you mine ANY other patch of minerals you can fit stalkers through no problem, I recommend mining the middle patches so that you don't have to remember which one you're supposed to mine.

[@chloesmith4065]

This is disgusting, I hate these new buggy maps, they shouldn't be implemented in such broken manner. SC:bw had maps like this with pathing issues, and they just weren't used until they were fixed. But now we're stuck with these maps on the ladder.

[@Alejandro-fm5wo]

Yea it’s absolutely a bug. The main ramp on Alcyone is bugged as well. Tank can’t pass through one of the lowered depots.

[@ibiree]

I believe the same bug also manifests on Radhuset station, I was wondering why my units would move so weird

[@velocirapper]

Harstem remembered to add the replay 😮 production value through the roof

[@chir0pter]

28:20 I think you're right, build a second prism because with one you have more immortals than you need and if they build a viking you're in trouble! You could station it on the other side of his bases and warp in even

[@ParleLeVu]

Good episode. I count the second to last game as a cheese win. Yes, you lost 6 stalkers to a mistake, but you simply didn't know the map yet. With 6 extra stalkers at your gold base, you would've held and beaten him.

[@jjbasson]

game 2 immortal pickup micro: exquisite. immaculate.

[@sakesaurus]

he's about to get prism nerfed with that micro

[@chloesmith4065]

Prism pickup range already got nerfed. It used to have one more range

[@MuffinOrama]

We did it! In game 2 we finally found the guy who landed the viking infront of the ultralisk in the heart of the swarm trailer.

[@Aristocrat15]

Harstem doing god's work, giving us content and then REPLAYS to benchmark? WOW

[@patrickcampbell957]

Pickle-eye joe 😂

The better you are at the game the more gm you are, usually. Exceptions apply like idra or whatever but most excellent players are very gm

Love the content Captain. Keep it up!

[@ahoj1707]

You didnt even watch the full episode at this point... but same❤️👍🏼

[@mateuszchojnacki1889]

You got me ;) he is so consistent with the quality though, and I know that every piece of support counts

[@roarmalf]

Even leaving the replay, the hero the protoss needed

[@marverinno2965]

When Harstem starts rushing with your favorite unit, that's the sign to try out Versus to see how a professional does what you wanted to do for years.

[@chloesmith4065]

Immortal rushes are actually really strong right now. Immortals just got a buff, banelings just got a nerf, and cyclones just got a rework. So terran players are often doing cyclone openers, and zerg are usually going roaches. Immortals crush these both hard

[@velocirapper]

For that mineral wall, stalkers can get through the top side with only one mineral patch removed i believe 😊

[@Alejandro-fm5wo]

It’s gotta be a bug

[@velocirapper]

@Alejandro-fm5wo its consistent on both sides i think, hard to say. Lowko found it on stream the other day

[@Alejandro-fm5wo]

@@velocirapper Right, it's likely the same bug duplicated on both sides. There's no reason why that patch should be any different from the others.

[@velocirapper]

@Alejandro-fm5wo consistency seems to imply not a bug. Tbh the stalkers/ roaches fitting through when a single patch is removed might be the bug

[@MichaelLewis-fx8eq]

I literally thought to myself: "Where can I check to examine the build?" and then heard about the replay being dropped...as always Harstem is just awesome. o7

[@JerrySagamore]

My good god Pickle Eye Joe!

[@flaccidactyl804]

The funniest thing about that mineral patch is that if you mine out the mirrored counterpat you can walk through it. The same thing happened to Lowko and his roaches. It at least didn't cost him the game though. Literally Imba!

[@TristanOnGoogle]

Finally Harstem, u acknowledge 4 gates pumping stalkers is a valid cheese in PvP even in master :)

[@mothrahlurker788]

Of course it's valid in master, this is high grandmaster tho.

[@MichaelLewis-fx8eq]

Literally my favourite cheese. Basically a blind counter to Terrans that decide to rush BC.

[@Razerdawn]

crazy mirco, like immortal got blink

[@chloesmith4065]

Prism give everything blink. Even colossus

[@peterthepeter7523]

It's "cotton eyed joe" not "pickle eyed". Even though the original phrase doesn't make any sense.

[@NuStiuFrate]

Well it could talk about someone with green eyes...but yeah the lyrics are wrong.

[@peterthepeter7523]

@@NuStiuFrate no i mean the original "cotton eyed" phrase makes no sense unlike Cap's superior version. How scary would a guy with white sclera be? Or is it talking about how white Joe's whites are?

[@Alejandro-fm5wo]

The stalker not fitting through the mineral patch has to be a bug. There’s also one on Alcyone where tanks can’t get through one of the lowered depots in the main ramp wall. Typical new map stuff.

[@justinkingston2878]

Thank you for the build!!

[@robertw4411]

I think you should know that I wanted to make sure I knew EXACTLY what it meant before I regurgitated it, so I googled "opah" ... and then googled "opah dutch" ... and then I laughed and laughed... and then I figured out how to translate my question for google and got to the real answer, which I DID originally know but questioned my own knowledge... either way, I swear every time you say it from now on, in my ears, you'll be yelling GRANDPA!

[@DariushMJ]

2:29 I feel like you could have won right then and there?

[@momom6197]

Not enough dps to punch through the battery while taking hits from the immortal

[@ibfreely8952]

In game 2 the opponent ahould have sent the viking to land in your mineral line instead of sacrificing it to the immortals

[@mothrahlurker788]

No, he should have just killed the prism.

[@Alejandro-fm5wo]

Yea only send the viking across once you have a second one, I’d say

[@DFGdanger]

Double Robo all the way across the map Whoa-oh-oh-oh

[@kalin666]

Cotton Eye Joe . . . . though I do like pickles 😊

[@sakesaurus]

we must punish Templar Harstem for draining the division of zealot veterans without creating any of his own. Losing immortals is what spells doom for that noble cast of warriors, losing zealots is what creates them

[@nicolascra2625]

im gold and I just do the inmortal rush every game for the larst week, 95% winrate

[@mothrahlurker788]

In order to establish 95% winrate you'd have to play like 60 games, if you play 60 games in gold and win 57 of them, you are in master league. Your story just doesn't add up.

[@nicolascra2625]

@@mothrahlurker788 valid point, it’s just a way of saying, I also play a lot of games doing other stuff but I lose most of them (bc I kinda suck)

Could you try this against Clem a few times please?

The 2s countdown bar above the immortal showing his barrier duration is a new thing from 5.0.12 right ? (see kzbin.info/www/bejne/bp3YmmZ8erCEmacsi=CfBQd84rgHjtYXSu&t=581)

[@odnamsrazor2364]

Harstem proves once again that he can't count.

[@dmitry5319]

copying 2 robo build is pointless unless you can jungle immortals with a prism like a pro

[@mothrahlurker788]

If you play against terrans below GM it's just a freewin.

[@HellecticMojo]

I get why you said that the terran in the second game shouldn't have landed his vikings, but I gotta wonder why you said he should build siege tanks. It's quite possibly the last thing I think anyone will build when faced with bunch of immortals.

[@mothrahlurker788]

You're wrong, you absolutely want siegetanks as it means the prism has to fly in all the way and die and doesn't have the space to kite marines and scvs. This is a really really well known counter and has been figured out for many years. Tanks are very important, getting to 2 tanks puts a lot of pressure on the protoss to kill one else the game is just over.

[@HellecticMojo]

@@mothrahlurker788 do you even have resources to do that while simultaneously pulling SCV's?

[@mothrahlurker788]

You start the tank production before scvs are pulled.@@HellecticMojo
