Mass NUKES In Dead Space | Beating Grandmasters With Stupid Stuff

One of the hardest episodes I've ever done.
I don't think I've ever played as many games with 1 challenge as I have with this one. I hope you all think its worth it

I was just looking at the difference between sc and sc2 nukes and if you double nuke in the same spot resources equal it would equate to an sc1 nuke. Bring back the sc1 nuke!!!

kevin: "why am I not winning this game as easily as I should?" also kevin: *sends multiple nukes into nothing*

[@2019inuyasha]

He could just cancel and reuse same fake nuke

[@momom6197]

@@2019inuyasha Cancelling does not refund the nuke.

[@neonKow]

Let's be fair. He also tried nuking other dead spaces to see if that would help.

[@You-ul8qw]

Terrans always scan the base they're about to nuke, therefore scanning a base before you 'nuke' it would've been an even better play ;)

[@SWATEngi]

Scanning would probably focus the attention of the opponent more, might backfire.

[@Tbonesteak23]

You deceptive bastard😂

[@Tbonesteak23]

Imagine what the other side would think when they see the replay:”what the fuck was wrong with my opponent?”😂

[@danielmasters6928]

Kevin, all these intros where you're already halfway through laughing makes my day every time :)

[@apoth90]

Nukes can be so satisfying. I once had my opponent jump from base to base to base until he saw in the corner that the nuke was going into his bio army the entire time. You could feel the broken heart in his camera movement.

[@mastercoolguy2809]

Oh that gives me second hand heartbreak, but nice play Mr. Baggins

[@nicolasduguay4]

I feel like this is the stuff that answer the most the definition of "stupid" so far. God I'd love to see the other player's face live.

[@humanchristiaan98]

Random scans on his bases during a nuke can really throw the opponent off.

[@nekrosis4431]

This is one of the best BGWSS ideas you have ever done. absolutely glorious.

[@sircharlesvonpimpsmack7667]

This was not BGMWSS... This was "Pavlovian training my opponent to ignore threats." Captain probably made his opponents go straight to therapy.

[@berenger1002]

31:55 you can put an invisible ghost into the medivac so you can drop it out still invis.

[@giantmagicalduck3604]

If only storms could instakill in a large area aswell...

[@adcyuumi]

This is the best bad idea I have ever seen. The next time you try this idea, slip a ghost behind the opponent's army. Instead of nuking dead space or a base, nuke just behind their army and immediately engage their army. They will back off while they look for the nuke... into the nuke. It only needs to work once. :)

[@wedgeantilles8575]

Imagine nuking the dead space - and exactly when you nuke it, the enemy tries to drop there and the drop gets annihilated :D

[@BucksterMcgee]

The pure joy from causing such panic is 👌 Definitely need more of this. Would also love to see a finale finisher of nuking all their bases simultaneously after several fakes desensitizating them. Would love to see 4-5 bases lose all their workers at once.

[@stowgood]

Can you get the medivac boost upgrade and make people think you are dropping one spot and keep flying to another. Like bait their army out of position?

[@LenPopp]

17:50 Is this the most fun you've ever had losing a game? 😄

[@lantosrevial8846]

I think it would be fun to have a compilation of every single nuke launch, so we can see at what point the opponent blieves you've gone insane, and when he realises you're not (entirely) crazy.

[@berenger1002]

First person reaction was really funny to watch, I can just imagine the frustration in this face

[@Krarilotus]

why don't you micro your low health marines back instead of sacrificing them? Is it not worth the apm? Also i see you often cut worker production when playing 3CC, is the 3rd CC built that early even worth it in this case? Because you sacrificed map control for it by not getting theo ther stuff like tech earlier first...

[@doltecbyal]

1st suggestion for beating grandmasters with stupid stuff: PEEING ON BUILDINGS Corruptors are like dogs - they like to mark their territory with pee. The challenge is to use Corruptors' peeing ability (Caustic Spray) to destroy as many buildings as possible. You get 1 point for pee-destroying small buildings like supply, extractors, bunkers/cannons/spines etc. You get 2 points for pee-destroying medium buildings like production, tech, etc. You get 3 points for pee-destroying large buildings like Hatchery/Nexus/CC. 2nd suggestion for beating grandmasters with stupid stuff: THE FLOOR IS LAVA Try and win with literally nothing but SkyToss units (probes and cannons are allowed). If that's too hard, then play as if the lowest ground on the map is made of lava so none of your units or buildings are allowed to touch the lowest ground.

[@erkistan]

Nice! Perhaps you should always try to time the launch before attacking into him so his micro ability would be hindered.

[@SpeedyBozar]

Maybe my most favourite BGMWSS episode ever. Finally something that is truly stupid. Like pretending to be AFK. This is the sort of stuff I want.

[@TritonTv69420]

Love your ideas captain! I will swab the poop deck if you keep it up. Aye aye captain! 👨‍✈️🚢

[@garretthopkins7035]

XD That little poke at 8:30 was SO MEAN. I think if you do this more, aiming to make it seem like you “forgot” your ghost drop and cloaking it after hitting before running to your hidden medivac will sell it better, especially with a slightly more delayed nuke call.

[@paulpickett4522]

That's some Florencio quality stuff but a great mind trick to have up your sleeve x) I'd love to see a pro pull this off in a tournament. That much distraction has got to be worth something, right...? x)

[@YonoZekenZoid]

12:12 the moment when harstem became a terran player

[@matheuspinheiro65]

Sugestion for BGWSS: play without any upgrades

[@alphoxi]

Hello dear Harsthem ! I think you will never see this nor do it but it would be very nice if you could move the camera to the left between the units and the hotkeys that would be very helpful I would love to see how you actually build your units ( I.e I tried to see if you where switching between barracks and factory while building and what you where building and when ) but I couldn’t really I only knower when you where selecting the contrôle groupe of barracks and that’s it. I hope this isn’t a noob speaking and I missed some way to know that from some other way ..

[@aaronrobinson2121]

This is a truly great idea. Because it kind of worked, but your opponent really can't complain about you sending nukes into oblivion over and over :)

[@caiobastos9085]

"Beating Stupid with Grandmaster stuff" when ?? :D

[@blinkanddie3397]

My favourite episode. I would absolutely love to see a blind nuke hit an enemy army, but I don't play StarCraft and I imagine that's not exactly likely to happen

[@bipavlov]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWjJg4CYgraJnc0 two very good SC2 players from Korea (Maru is top 1 atm I think even). One of the best moment in top tier SC history.

[@leonfazulin]

Suggetion: mass probes illusions that makes your opponent believes that you have much more economy.

[@ChildOfDarkness85]

Hey another idea for stupid stuff. Imagine you would have enough Ghosts to block path on the map your opponent needs to take like a wall of ghosts and until he brings detection there he "shall not pass" because the way is blocked by invisible ghosts at least for a while. you only need to make sure they do not run out of energy way too early losing their cloak. Did something with phantoms on the campaign and wonder if this would work against other players too. Units would start to take a different route as they see the way as blocked but the player doesn't xD

[@emjizone]

0:31 Pure terrorist mind. 😂 A winner would save the nukes in order to simultaneously target more bases than the opponent can check. But here, no. Harstem isn't here to win. He isn't here to kill them. He's here only to make them sweat and wet their pants like never. 😂😂😂

[@retarepo]

how about doing a show match against another streamer, and you pull this off without him knowing, then we have the "other side" and afterwards you can ask him to give Hamster the video for some neat overlay xD

[@fahrradmittelfranken8207]

it's ridiculous how everything terran does has this insane setup time while everything the other races do is instant. Storm should also have a 5 second delay before it starts doing damage

[@PavlosPapageorgiou]

I'll distract my opponent, he says, then sits around doing nothing while the opponent is distracted...

[@Whoisthis911]

harstem made one critical mistake - he tried this tactic vs protoss players. You need a thinking man to fall for this mental bait, and the good ol' toss just doesn't do all that much thinking.

[@Fenpwet]

What is the correct way to find where a nuke is going ? I can never see the red dot, it's way too small and my color blindness doesn't help. Is there any way ?

[@justanotherspectator9]

didn't show the reaction to the false nukes :( kept all the enjoyment to himself 😢

[@emjizone]

Many virtual wild animals were mistreated during the shooting of this film.

[@Idiomatick]

Immediate upvote from the title alone. Now THIS is a stupid strat.

[@leafykille]

That was hilarious! The only way that could be better is to show a few nukes on random nothing arround the map before doing the real nukes.

[@MantasJurkuvenas]

You should have defensive nukes next time. As soon as he attacks send nukes at his army. He will have to step back, it crazy cause you have high chance of nuking yourself

[@codyheiner3636]

I feel like this could be a legitimate strategy if you time your nukes to tax the opponent's attention right when something important is happening, such as drops or a big engagement.

[@jeffr3773]

Creatures of the sea ?

[@hipser]

oh this is brilliant

[@Tamizushi]

Maybe one variation on this idea could be to nuke somewhere behind your opponent's army hoping that they retreat into it. Even if they don't retreat their army, it's still likely to screw their macro, but then you also have a chance to catch their army.

Notice second game, he only focused on the medivac and nuke sound... not checking his army. If you had a proxy ghost and nuked where he army might idle you'd win the game right there.

This is amasing 😅 How you like the idea of beating GM with the only one supply depo? (Other supply with only CCs)

[@HellecticMojo]

Isn't that just a rush of any kind?

[@zakonal3620]

No, why, you can reach 200 supply this way

[@HellecticMojo]

@@zakonal3620 because how are you going to get to late game when you don't even have supply to saturate your mining? Every expansion is going to need additional CC to barely get enough mining going and that's not even considering the army cost

[@adicacid]

Honestly though, throwing in some fake nukes is gigabrain. In the replay of the second game the opponent was just looking around the bases, floating lots of resources, not macroing, not paying attention to army, etc. for 13 in-game seconds. That's huge.

[@adicacid]

@@FatherNagic of course in this case the situation is exaggerated. But in a regular game if you already have a lot of ghosts out and nukes to spare then mixing in some fake nukes is a possibility.

You should throw a nuke outside your own bases nearby the opponent army all of a sudden and hope he retreats or flanks into one. 😄 Throw in a nuke on the enemy base, a nuke on/close to his army along with the deadspace nukes. 😊
