Pro-Player VS Campaign Genius

[@IlBarbafluff]

I'm so happy GGG is getting more recognition. He is really making the game much more fun to play for us filthy casuals

[@amateurishauthor2202]

I think he and Jayborino both are the only reasons why Starcraft 2 has stayed alive as long as it has

[@SpencerJWang]

@@amateurishauthor2202 recently they have definitely brought around quite the resurgence, but I don't think they're solely the reasons that SC2 is still alive. I mean, Grant just started getting popular like 2 years ago!

[@orangesouls7112]

I just got into doing Co-op games a month or so ago from watching GGG and Jay. Sad I missed out on it when it was in full swing, but still having a great time.

[@namejsklava8276]

GGG made me reinstall SC2

[@zerglinglemonadeallergy4621]

So very true

[@danielskrivan6921]

I think GGG has the best radio voice of anyone in the SC2 community.

[@ingainloggningsnamn]

You don't say? 😉🤫😗😊

[@Mike-dm5ut]

Came for this comment

[@hamster_designs]

Yeah, amazing voice but also and amazingly clean audio setup!!

[@TheAmazingCowpig]

Every time I stop watching GGG for a few weeks or months, I get shocked when I hear him through the mic again. Wew, smooth voice and audio.

[@mbvglider]

They're both using the same Shure SM7B microphone, too. It tells you, the most important part of getting great sound is having a great voice, lol.

[@terekrutherford8879]

10:39 "I haven't thought a single thought in three seasons and I'm doing fantastic" -Harstem

[@jonathansolares8065]

this made me laugh too hard

[@-Raylight]

*"The problem with PvP is everyone is an idiot"* Guess nobody hates Protoss than Protoss players themselves xD

[@ondrejmrazek8209]

Well even in Starcraft 1 there was an enormous ammount of PvP missions.

[@AlexGrom]

Can confirm as a protoss player xD

[@pamsp]

I felt like seeing that scene from the Simpsons, "Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland!"

[@sergritm]

Zerg from 4th replay here Frist of all, GGG is my favourite content creator in all of StarCraft, and I'm thrilled that I got to watch him judge my game! Harstem, as my second favourite Dutch content creator, it's an honor as well. Honestly, I'm even flattered by their guesses! This game was so insane to me because we literally ended up on 0 workers each, and this doesn't happen often, so I submitted a loss nevertheless. Thanks to Hamster as well for choosing my replay.

[@serhiy_serhiy]

Respect

[@yayforjoel]

That was a fun game to watch, thanks for sharing!

[@hamster_designs]

It was a GREAT choice of replay ^^

[@Merumya]

kudos to you, being a warrior to fight to the end and feel no shame in submitting a loss. sign of a great guy, to even recognize their failures ;)

[@sergritm]

@@Merumya Thanks man, appreciate that :)

[@danielcusumano3889]

"Well their terran's so they've already got the salt" absolutely brutal I'm dying

[@dustincintron1682]

that was a great line

[@IgnatRemizov]

they're* Terrans*

[@nathangamble125]

*they're Terrans Grammar Nazis have more salt than all Starcraft races combined.

[@guibuni6926]

An unlikely collab to be sure but a welcome one.

[@mh1593]

cooking classics next year!

[@vasanthp.2737]

Grant is such a wholesome personality on this channel! This episode was a treat to watch!

[@matteofontana_]

the collaboration i never knew i needed. Also, seeing Grant from the front is pretty cursed.

[@nikitosha1000]

yeeeee

[@blafuckyou]

yeah seriously, they should cast together. Super fun combo

[@blafuckyou]

I could see them cast plat league heros, which I would find an entertaining format

[@danielskrivan6921]

I think this is the most fun I've seen Harstem have in one of these.

[@AndystanSmith]

What a colab!! My favorite two KZbinrs in one video!

[@derbisi9755]

Next will be Lowko, i guess. Lots of fun contestants this season 😍 And i like that Harstem is so smart to share infos to those who need them. So it's a competition but no one needs to feel left alone. This is what respect looks like!

[@jaktuu]

this was a collab i never knew i needed LOVE ME SOME GRANT AND HARSTEM

[@JFox4587]

***HAMSTER PLEASE READ*** A huge tell is that Hamster never picks the same league twice. Every rank roulette, Hamster makes sure that he picks four completely different leagues every single rank time. This is a huge advantage if someone were paying close enough attention. I mention it so that Hamster reads this and mixes it up a bit this season! Please like so we can get Hamster’s attention.

[@hamster_designs]

You might think that, but i choose em at random ^^

[@JohnAndJohner]

The tomato soup discussion was great. We all strive to be a tasty dip for grilled cheese, but sometimes we end up as water soup.

[@thallium5573]

Harstem forgot Winter's words of wisdom in the last round: "Terran and Protoss hit a wall at gold because they don't build one and zerg walks in."

[@tatatatartine2588]

Awesome: The 2 most smooth voices of SC2 scene! Love it!!

[@seri-ously8591]

Harstem thinking he voted on Diamond 3 when he said Diamond 2 then nonchalantly was happy about it broke me.

[@dashhy2543]

I need more Grantstem in my life

[@ingainloggningsnamn]

WOW you weren't kidding when you said we wouldn't be able to guess the guest the other day! This was truly unexpected, weird I watched him last night for the first time in a very long time. 😝

[@jayfrelink2930]

Grant is the best. This was a fantastic episode, keep it up!

[@neruneri]

Not being afraid to share your replays even when you lose is unironically a winner's mindset. Ego can be a brick wall people run into trying to improve.

[@artcrafter9941]

10:50 "I havent thought a single thought in 3 Seasons and I'm doing fantastic" props to you Harstem, you really are the best ;)

[@You-ul8qw]

Lets goo, this was one of my most hoped for suggestions and probably some others as well, such a friendly and super unique content creator for starcraft, because watching some of the starcraft 2 mods really brings fresh air to the game.

[@dylanbulley9468]

Haven't played StarCraft 2 in years, randomly a GGG video came up on my home page, now I'm climbing the ladder and enjoying the campaign again. Glad he's getting the recognition

[@mossblomma]

Yeah! Significantly sized Grant! Also Woooooo another rank roulette season! edit: apparently I missed the first(?) episode, so yeah...wooooo another rank roulette season!

[@dominikmagnus]

31:21 Whoever uploaded this one and whoever edited the footage for show did a good job. That's one hella confused Harstem.

[@MetalMan1245]

I'm so happy, I guessed Gold 2 on the last round (in Grant's honor for the bad guess the previous round) and it was WAY closer than either of them.

[@nnm711]

Wow, Grant is so savage on protosses. :D Harstem was on route for a great score, until he caught a torpedo below the waterline in the last round...

[@HellGoesOn]

Damn, glad to see that GGG got some recognition. Though what's more surprising is that Harstem is good at campaigns apparently? Thought he was hitting the ladder more, but I guess him being the Campaign Genius aligns more with his recent achievements. (i hope people understand that this is a joke)

[@garbuz3324]

I think GGG is the Campaign Genius I never click "Read more"

[@ZerglingLover]

@@garbuz3324 you can’t reply to a comment without reading more since it gives the full comment regardless

[@dodojesus4529]

Well if your good at micro/macro the campaign is gonna fold pretty well (this is definetly not why i had to reset on the evacuation like five times playing violets nightmare)

[@Kawa856]

''I haven't thought a single thought in 3 seasons.'' -Harstem 🤣

[@MythrilZenith]

The fact that I haven't played SC2 1v1s since Wings of Liberty is flavoring my takes. I was convinced there was no way that the first game was any higher than gold league. If this is all it takes to get masters then maybe I should dust off my rust and give the ladder another shot.

[@moritz252]

fantastic to see two of my favorite SC2 bois competing against each other! More pls!

[@ethanfullmer5547]

Woo! Two favorite SC II Content makers! I've wanted this so long!

[@aaronarmstrong406]

Oh God this series is fantastic xD You actually made me laugh Kevin. Not a single thought in 3 seasons. Pro life. I love you. Keep making that money

[@jeffreyburnwood8084]

Nice! Love Grant! Pretty nice to hear and see him :D

[@Halcyon_YT_]

Lowko next episode? I think he was in IODIS twice.

[@hamster_designs]

Maybe ;]

[@dojoisdead]

That voice though! I could listen to that all day.

[@wadeevans8815]

I got back into StarCraft by watching Serral and Maru play. And by watching GGGs content

[@EnemyN666]

Great to see The Godfather of SC campaigns GiantGrantGames!

[@juliengillet4047]

No waaaaaaay, GGG with Harstem that's so cool ! 😊 Happy that the master of the campaings get some visibility like that to the more competitive scene ! 💜

[@ikocheratcr]

Best episode so far, excellent synergy.

[@njdarda]

This episode was so eerily similar to todays one. grant missing ui thing, the mirrors, the reapers, the score, the comments about zergs in a cave unaware of the meta, "it could be one of my games". :D

[@Sparta-vu3jj]

Ahhh the Blunder right at the end, that could have been an epic game Harstem

[@emdeo]

Hell yeah love seeing GGG on the Rank Roullete.

[@SC2Anski]

I just want to give feedback on the community rank roulet site. The personal results page is impossible to read. Can you make it so we can see what league we guessed each round and what was the correct answer?

[@MrFlarius]

Wooh Grant, thats a nice surprise!

[@simonhrabec9973]

It is interesting to see my 2 favorite content creators (I hope not to offend Harstem by calling him a content creator and not a pro player :D), both from the SC2 world but focusing on completely different parts of the game.

[@alfonshasel1995]

Well, he called himself a former pro player if i am not mistaken ;)

[@XupyprKZ]

He's Grant, He's Giant, and he is Gaming.

[@Teal-c]

When they're listing all the attributes that make you not possible to be bronze and you do all those things but still bronze lmao

[@aidanchow1051]

Today we all realized that no one knows what is in tomato soup.

[@warsword4]

“I’m too dumb for your tricks to work one me”. Never change Grant.

[@LodeCos]

SPOILERS IN THIS POST. My guesses - Gold 1 (well, I guess that completely wrong. I am one level above this and I can't believe this is one level below me, why.) - Master 3 (NA really is a worse ladder than EU lol) - Diamond 1 (damn, they were worse than I thought, it seemed solid with all the stutter stepping etc.) - Diamond 2 (I am really not good at this) This was very difficult, lol.

[@hamster_designs]

Oof. Maybe your first guess just threw you off today. Better luck next time! But yeah, it is quite difficult ^^

[@LodeCos]

@@hamster_designs I'll comment every time. Here is to hoping in getting better!

[@hamster_designs]

@@LodeCos You'll get there! Even Harstem gets it right from time to time, so it can't be that hard ;]

[@loosos4699]

Man i went D2, GM, P2 and actually got the G1 at the end cause I still remembered a game in S1 when a player just knew how to micro reapers and nothing else and he was G1.

[@hamster_designs]

6 Points? That's on level with MCannings legendary run!

[@tambaz2276]

The only one I got wrong was the M2 one, because as someone said looked like they didn't have enough APM, but I guess I forgot they were Protoss. That G1 replay was the most G1 looking game I've ever seen.

[@balazsfenyes3880]

GGG sounds even more baritone in this video. he could cosplay Abathur announcer:)

[@killahlot]

This is my first time seeing GiantGrantGames. His voice is like Barry White.

[@CyRxJustin]

Got a 10! Fell behind thinking the Plat player was G3, but caught back up in the last round with a 0. I'm convinced I would do great at this game because I spent so long being bad at sc2 whereas harstems never actually played against anyone below masters on the ladder. Was just born into greatness

[@hamster_designs]

10, that's respectable! But even though you were born into greatness, Harstem beat ya :p

[@CyRxJustin]

@@hamster_designs I meant harstem was born into greatness. True, he did beat me though so I should've saved my comment for the next one :) :)

[@baltoandtogo]

Excellent content, Gentlemen! Harstem and Mr. Games had some great rapport. I hope he makes the playoffs.

[@qzump7989]

20:00 I wasn't prepared for that

[@Dedrexms]

My 2 favourite Harstem and giant grant games yay

[@ingainloggningsnamn]

"I go for Diamond 2. Locked in." "Last week I went for Diamond 3." wat ?

[@ingainloggningsnamn]

29:15

[@BrianKOliver]

Lol

[@drakorez]

I knew the last one was low when the reapers went too far in, threw all their grenades that they need to get back out, and then the lings just let them out anyway. That would not fly at higher levels. The lack of a wall just confirmed it. Harstem was asleep at the wheel on that one.

[@Fimbu1vetr]

Oooh Mr. Lowko coming back to reclaim his crown next week

[@JFox4587]

I got 6 points again this episode and guessed gold 1 on the 4the game only because Hamster never picks the same league twice in this episodes lol. 6 points back to back episodes!

[@hanrockabrand95]

Laughing so hard at the tomato soup 🤣

[@ZergIingLover]

Woah! What a surprise!

Man Grant got a insane voice.

[@Hikyu]

cannot watch this with his mic bass boosted like nothing else, going to the next video! xD

[@kurzackd]

06:30 - wait, why did Grant receive 2 (TWO) points when he's only 1 (ONE) division away from the correct answer ???

[@Zofi_Gaming]

Don't worry GGG, Winter guessed Silver 2 in the season 1 finals and was waaaaay off. You'll do fine.

[@mikeshivak]

LMFAO I would watch starcraft cooking

[@axh2]

- mister Games - mister Stem

[@saphironkindris]

Round 1 I was way off, Round 2 and 3 I dialed it in, and was off by only one point each, both times too low, so for round 4 I took my gut feeling and added one to it and got the perfect answer. I think I've got this figured out now lmao.

[@lylelee454]

I love both of your content

[@nathangamble125]

My guesses, made before Grant and Harstem's guesses: Game 1 - Plat 1 Game 2 - Master 3 Game 3 - Diamond 1 (I don't know how to judge terran lol) Game 4 - Master 1 (wtf seriously??? how does a gold player micro that well without forgetting their eco? If that's a gold leaguer, they must have been on crack or something)

[@SaulGoodman3D2049]

For game 4: Remember that the Zerg was actually macroing pretty heavily to the point the Terran was getting plenty of free shots off at his drones, and the Terran was floating 800 minerals and couldn't finish a wall on slightly less than 1 base. He also stayed at 17 workers even when his eco leveled out and he had no reason to cut workers for reapers, because he was too busy cosplaying Byun. I honestly guessed Silver 1, if not Gold 3.

[@nikitosha1000]

Oh god can I like it ten times! GOGOGO GGG GRANT!

[@robinjones5874]

Hey guys. What’s the alt hot key to split army? Can someone explain what/how that works pls? Cheers

[@SaulGoodman3D2049]

Holding the control key and pressing one of the hotkey buttons (1-0 by default but you can change it to be any key) binds whatever units or structures you have selected to that hotkey. Alt works the same way, except any units/structures that are already in a different hotkey get taken out and put in the new hotkey, in this case the example Harstem was probably thinking of was at 2:18. Red Zerg had all of his zerglings in 1 control group (let's assume it's the 1 key), sent the group to attack blue's hatchery, then selected some and used the alt key to split some zerglings into a different control group (let's assume it's 2), so he can press 2 and select only the zerglings he split off while zerglings in group 1 continue to attack hatchery.

[@yungpepega8055]

We need Jayborino now

[@esarel]

im a fan of calling him mister 3G

[@kurzackd]

Someone PLEASE explain something to me !!! For the previous episode (which was aiso the FIRST one) of this series, I input my answer "Platinum 3" in the platform. Turned out the answer was actually Diamond 3, so I was three divisions away from the correct answer. According to the rules, this should have given me THREE points... ...HOWEVER, I got FOUR points (4) instead, as if I had selected Gold 1, EVEN THOUGH THE PLATFORM CLEARLY DISPLAYS MY INPUT AS HAVING BEEN "PLATINUM 3", AND EVERY OTHER USER WHO HAS ALSO INPUT PLATINUM 3 HAS ALSO GOTTEN 4 (FOUR) POINTS !! ..... WHY ??? :((( ......

[@sward0483]

I wouldn't rely on knowledge of pros meaning anything. I watch a lot of pro sc2 and up till yesterday I had played a few games during wings, but not enough to get ranked. I played a game yesterday for the hell of it as zerg and I lost to mass hellion in like idk 5 minutes or something. Lol I had roaches and queens too! Brain just freezes though haha
