Imagine hearing your military commander say: "We're a little bit like the military".

[@blaurvedrur]

Harstem: I don't wanna play mass blink stalkers, otherwise it would be too easy Also Harstem: plays mass blink stalkers

[@Supergoon1989]

New BGGWSS Idea: "The Protoss Snake" - Open however you like, but sneak a pylon out near your enemies third. From this pylon, you are going to grow the 'structure snake' towards their natural, backed up with your army slowly advancing alongside it. The structure snake is made up of all of the 2X2 sized protoss structures (pylons/batteries/cannons) of your choosing, but the next segment of snake must be built adjacent and touching the rest of the snake. - This works similar to the 'snake' game on on mobile phones, it advances in it's direction one pixel at a time eating food, and the snake grows. If you think as each pylon as the size of one pixel, your snake will be growing like this. It may actually be quite hard for the enemy to attack your snake because it defends itself (cannons) and your army will be at the head of the snake, defending it, and being healed by the shield batteries. The snake itself also will act as a surface area reduction, making ling surrounds on your units difficult while they are next to the snake. Keep advancing towards your opponents natural and break it open. If you like you can even build the occasional 3X3 gateway as a fat segment of snake, just to allow fast warpins to reinforce your army, if you like. Any destroyed structures of the snake MUST be replaced before the snake can continue to grow towards the opponents natural base, but i'll allow you to choose where you want the first segment to be placed, just try to put it somewhere they wont find for a while, I want the snake to be a large surprise for the enemy when the finally see it growing closer and closer to their base. Snake segments cannot be fully-diagonal, but you can offset the position by 1 square from the next segment (giving you 3 choices each time. exactly next to, or left by 1 square, or right by 1 square) to give you the option to advance slightly diagonally when you need it, giving you some freedom to build the snake as you like, but all segments must be adjacent.

[@Supergoon1989]

You may use a Forge as one of the 'fat' segments of the snake if you like, but it may be wiser to use the forge to wall at home instead. - Forge is actually optional; there is no rule against just having the snake comprised of just pylons/batteries as long as you obey the standard adjacency rules

[@tarvoc746]

I love this.

[@Amoeby]

Wow, the OG mass oracles build hits like a truck

[@damedley75]

What are the chances that on the very first game you're going mass oracle you run into a guy NAMED blink stalker??

[@Momo-96]

Still remember that Has game and watching the crowds reaction was soo good lmaooo

[@Dank_Lulu]

Hello, cap'n o7 ! BGMWSS suggestion if you decide to offrace as Zerg for whatever reason: 'It's a Zergling, Lester!' - Rush *burrow* and create an underground ambush earlygame, baiting your opponent's ground force with a few zerglings into a good spot where your own units will unburrow. This can be followed-up with burrowed roach harrass and might be usefull lategame for sneaky Infestor surprise-attacks as well... Have a good one! o7

[@godhandvoid9795]

Oh boy, this is gonna be good 😂

[@charlesjohnson7019]

This is my kind of stupid!

[@deathcraft2299]

PLEASE MORE MASS ORACLES

[@no1yourewrong]

BGMWSS Additional Research Required: In order to progress, the protoss race must expand and discover. Only one tech building per base location, eg gateways in the main the core is in natural and robo/SG at third, you don't have to take the base to build the tech but the tech must spread out to the base positions. Forge, twighlight council etc must be spread out as well. It is similar to your campaign roleplaying BGMWSS but I think more difficult as the tech is even more spread out.

[@Phoenix-zu6on]

what about proxi tech?

[@legoolass3]

hey harstem, can you make an episode with "fight fire with fire", where you build your opponent's forces (in mirror matches of course)?

[@swing9170]

hero played this against lambo's queenwalk on blackburn if I recall correctly ... I loved the mass oracle back in the days ... (obviously just watching it, not playing against it :D)

[@mikehawk3398]

Beating stupid stuff with grand masters

[@Roman500]

Terran or protoss, you can only attack via drops. No walking to the other side of the map allowed!! Ps. G E K O L O N… grapje.

[@guest273]

Mass Cyclone when?

[@Overander]

I recommend stealing Winter's name for this strategy: Moracle.

[@OhPonyBoy]

"Base Split (Polite Gamble Variation)" : all your expensions must be as far as possible one from the other. You have to politely inform your opponent when and where you take a base. Your sentence must start by "Breaking news !" Also, i love your content 😊👍

[@marknorrish2558]

Terran BGMWSS: marine-less bio. Rushing around, dropping reapers and ghosts ...

[@immortalshrike4122]

BGMWSS : As terran, you need to do harass with medevac, the only units that can be loaded are vikings and SCV. Continue the great work, I love the humor and the gameplay.

[@EvilSmonker]

Wait you can load vikings lmao?

[@charlesjohnson7019]

Absolutely loved the game vs Zerg. An inspiration

[@yeoldmanriver4881]

"14 oracles against 15 mutas". Didn't think I'd ever hear this comparison being made.

[@WindsorMason]

I was about to comment this... And the Oracles win too, so OP!

[@vmre]

this is a Florencio strategy.

[@michaelsamchuk8103]

I have a recommendation for beating grandmasters… You must kill all cleaning bots or critters before you end the game

[@zaccrowther4580]

This is genius

[@jtsyo8364]

Boy Who Cried Wolf: As Terran get 3 Academies and nukes. During the game nuke random parts of the map so that they start to ignore the nuke warnings. Then nuke either their production, probes or army when they are complacent.

[@damedley75]

28:10 ah the dreaded skytoss army

[@Supergoon1989]

You legend! You took my suggestion! :D

[@Amoeby]

It always feels great)

[@sirTribble]

Just thought another day - it will be fun to see BGwSS with mass oracles. Our Captain indeed can read minds! 🧠

[@OsOkod]

for a moment i just thought man there are comming the ultras... xD thats what happens to me when i destroyed all Zerg air Units and BOOM, 7 Ultras popping out ^^

[@Square-Watermelon]

Jesus is God & He loves you Jesus will soon be seen by all men, women, and children in the clouds. Jesus is returning now! Believe and be saved. Exodus 3:14 (God speaking) And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel - I AM hath sent me unto you. John 8:58 (Jesus speaking) Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. John 10:30 (Jesus speaking) I and my Father are one. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, *The everlasting Father,* The Prince of Peace. Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, *God with us.* John 1:1 & 14 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14 And the Word was made flesh (Lord Jesus), and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 8:24 (Jesus speaking) I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. John 14:9 (Jesus speaking) Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Hebrews 1:1-3 & 8 (God calls His Son "O God" because Jesus IS God in the flesh) 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds! *and every eye shall see him,* and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. Isaiah 44:6 (God speaking) Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Revelation 1:8 (Jesus speaking) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, *the Almighty.* Revelation 22:13 (Jesus speaking) I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. --- There Are None Righteous / How To Be Saved Romans 3:10 & 23 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Luke 5:31-32 (Jesus speaking). 31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick. 32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. 1 Peter 3:18 (The word “quicken” means “to make alive”) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Ephesians 2:8-9 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith - and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Lord Jesus died in our places personally to take the death punishment that sin deserves and then resurrected by the power of God. Believe this and you will have eternal life and nothing to fear.

[@corpsious]

Your combination of skill + charisma + ability to articulate your thought process + sense of humour is the best in the world. Much

[@kurzackd]

09:26 - shouldn't that disruptor shot have wreaked havoc? It dealt like 0 damage wtf...

[@michaellewis8849]

Units in stasis cannot be damaged or affected by any other abilities. It's the trade you get for keeping a part of the enemy's forces immobile.

[@kurzackd]

@@michaellewis8849 nah, it's not that. The stasis got destroyed before it was even up. I just watched it reaaally slowly multiple times: The ARCHON does get damaged. The Stalkers are like 1 pixel farther from the explosion range, tho, and don't take damage.

[@damedley75]

Suggestion: No upgrades! No +1, no blink, no charge, just the worst possible version of every unit. If that's not enough of a challenge, no units that have no specific upgrades like Immortals, Disruptors and Carriers.

[@danielsaraceno7299]

What about a game where you only make tier 2+ units so no zealot, adept, stalker, or sentry. Rely on Robo and Stargate. Templar and Dark Templar are allowed as well as Archons obviously.

[@derbisi9755]

Sounds like Tempest Rush or VoidRay with Batteries and maybe Immortal. In my mind it's nothing special or new. But proov me wrong or add some crazy playstyle to it.

[@user-pj2bt8og4y]

B(G)MWSS for TvZ: use early ghosts to snipe harass - queens, drones, overlords, anything "kerrigan origins challenge" :)

[@gabrielcotebrockman3220]

Sorry for the dislike, I'm trying to break youtube. So instead I'll leave you with nice comment. Love you Harstem, keep up the good content!

[@curtislarsen5950]

Harstem every time his opponent walks into a stasis ward: Oooooohhhh nooo!! How unfortunate! 🤣🤣

[@JWH741]

New Protoss build: Fist of Ulrezaj. You are only allowed to build Nerazim units (stalkers, dark templars, void rays).

[@madhvivenkatraman9318]

BGMWSS idea: Hamster picks some of the worst builds from IODIS and you have to play them

[@wellssellshomes]

I'm here because of the thumbnail dude :) well..... and I love your videos.

[@aaronpitts7638]

Mass ghost pls

[@eth5632]

BGMWSS idea: You have to do a push with +1 air armor (before warp gate) Maybe it's imba? who knows until you try.

[@vitorh3568]

23:02

[@ryankoh5914]

Suggestion for next video: tricking your opponent with hallucinated tech!

[@DelawareBrooks]

Oracles got a lot of nerfs. Stasis, revalation, armor class and it's microability. Those were all nerfed that is why it is not as popular.

[@dominikmagnus]

Wouldn't it be better to build voidrays instead of mirroring opponent tempests? On lower levels it usually works, since there's too much of an overkill with temptest shots and voidrays build fast, they are faster than tempests, so they can catch them and they have insane DPS and they cost less also.

[@quitte1505]

Bless me :D

[@kurzackd]

24:50 - I can't believe Harstem held here. Then again, I think this was rather more the zerg's mistake than Harstem's achievement -- he didn't seem to micro his queens at all !!! Incredible !!!

[@bisholia]

Has he done a BGMWST where a certain % of his army has to be hallucinations? I feel that could be entertaining.

[@lukaszkosiorek]

Try and win as Terran playing with only 1 orbital command and the rest of the bases only Planetary Fortress

[@dongsulee4169]

Hi Harstem - could you do a beating GM by neural parasiting the other races worker/beating them with their own units?

[@You-ul8qw]

Imagine how broken pheonixes would be if they could shoot down. Just think about it.

[@RomanShigapov]

"Accidentally" a really fun and intense match vs Zerg.

[@2019inuyasha]

Mass Stalkers with some hallucinate stalkers up front is not bad opponent feels overwhelmed no need for blink just a move a mix

[@Stefan-rg1ub]

Mass tank+thor. A rolling march of tanks sieging and unsieging forward with thors for anti air. Maybe something air as a spotter for the tanks.

[@Supergoon1989]

5:43 LMAO, he's gotta be so confused seeing this XD

[@Hugofse]

Terran mass viking only should be a fun challenge.

[@Icetemplar]

how about using infestors in overlords the way protoss use high templars in warp prisms

[@damedley75]

2:30 if opponent doesn't ragequit how will you finish him off?

[@stefanalenius]

30:02 Statis Party sounds really boring...

[@dumbeldombor]

@Harstem you should do an archon battery push!

[@Alcadeias01]

Mass Oracles? Only HAS comes to mind .

[@dingledln]

Would a stasis trap or 2 have helped against the queen walk?

[@AronGreenspan]

More stupid stuff. Only build 1 supply depot.

[@ConstructMorePylons]

I feel like Harstem would enjoy adding a “kill every critter on the map” challenge onto one of the less difficult bgmwss

[@philipschroeder5427]

Probably a nice beating grandmaster with stupid stuff: You can only attack if you kill a critter before moving out with your army. The number of critters on the map limits your chances for attack :).

[@grandpresidentofegemy5235]

wow, mass oracle phoenix is back!!

[@flljonh]

This is even better after watching hero in tlnet tournament

[@gschaaf713]

Harstem you're the king!

[@zaccrowther4580]

Come for the StarCraft stay for the humor. Uppa harstem!

[@soju69jinro]

mass oracles? uh... i think one phoenix will win it all

[@dmargarcelli143368]

Bring back some archon chargelot

[@jeremyklein953]

Awesome! I wanted to watch this suggestion

[@Bradman1978]

kind if wondering if mass vikings who do as terren

[@fate711]

Beating GrandMasters With Stupid Stuff - See how many times you can recall with Nexus and Mothership. I got 20 in 1 game.

[@ashot11223]

ahh yes the 14 oracle vs. 15 mutas. that is magic

[@jaff1842]

3:16 Bless you papa harstem

[@haggis6282]

Got an idea for Terran. Proxy your 3rd or natural on the opponents 4th or 5th base (ideally so there's a deadspace between the proxy base and their main) and play mass BCs from there. The proxy base can then be used to repair your BCs while they're close to the enemy base instead of having to move back and forth across the entire map.

[@j-pbouchard9672]

This series should be called ''Doing stupid stuff, getting my ass saved by Disruptors and beating GrandMasters'' haha

[@daniel.friedrich]

Good old KnowMe style builds.

[@mayliara4089]

I love the "zerg protoss" style of 90-110 probes and masssss zealot stalker on low gass count its just hilarious to play

[@DubbleTwice]

Colossus drops Mr H. MASS colossus Drops

[@solvital4068]

Hmm, I think if you adjust the definition for “massing” to getting a high number at one time. Maybe when you mass is more important than how quickly?

[@justins6458]

Go mass zealot Phoenix!

[@Saphemeral]

Been a few months since I followed any SC2 stuff, but I'm very happy to see these videos are still the same good ol stuff!

[@DragonsilverXGenesis]

Phoenix are always sooo cool

[@tomdabomb999]

Harstem with future sight channelling Zest vs Ragnarok

[@Rubenss1234]

make mass thors work xD

[@plutoburn]

Valencia Has was legit

[@ak-dy7ty]

So stupid. I love it!

[@propeacemindfortress]

sweet

[@mails65]

more like mess oracles

[@Dimythios]

Thank you for bringing us these games. They are fun to watch.

[@TechNichol]

Mass disruptors?

[@SciFiDucky]

I really like the idea of bringing back and testing old builds for this series.

[@quitte1505]

The kinda move up and down on your chair! i wonder how long the Chair will hold

[@Hotshotben]

Great content

[@idodeclare6804]

moracles!!

[@Frost640]

First game felt very map-hackery, there was something odd about his army movements and composition with zero scouting.

[@michaellewis8849]

Didn't you see the opponent's observers once Harstem got his own? Or hear Harstem repeatedly saying the enemy can see his army? It's easy to be everywhere and counter your opponent when you have observers everywhere around the map.

[@fuba44]

"everyone"... Alright I'll take it.
