StarCraft 2: Harstem's TERRAN Clown Fiesta!

A battlecruiser costs approximately 3 mules. And mules are free.

[@joshuahutchins5651]

The opponent was playing random, and Harstem was trying to trick him into admitting what race he was by blindly accusing him of being Zerg.

[@RogerValor]

So the maphacker accusation was a funny joke showing voluntary admittance of a correct guess. This is so meta.

[@masumasumasu]

that match was hilarious and clutch as Fuzz!

[@adicacid]

Dang that was so close. I feel that Harstem could have won if he managed to safely escort that first Factory.

[@jasonlynch282]

He could have won if it was a mobile OC to drop mule to repair. Also mine. Though zerg had map control and drones to mine faster. So Zerg probably would win anyways.

[@thetraveler010]

That's true but you can see why he made that decision, since Zerg was still mining and had enough to make bases the longer he took to kill the structured the more units they could make while he was stuck with what he had left. Since they structures fly so slowly all he could do was try and kill the enemy as fast as possible and hope they were close enough to defend

[@MagicMan3K]

Kinda wish Zerg had their own capital ship like the BC/Carrier-Tempest (& Mothership) that was actually worth it. Sure you might count Vipers/Brood as such but those aren't really capital ships... Err, units. Would be nice to have a miniature leviathan that was 300/400 that specializes in anti air, that would help immensely with PvT. It'd be limited like the Mothership but it could also be given a slight buff like a bit more life regen and/or increased armor (maybe with it's own upgrade in an upgraded spire) which would be nice. I would also like to see a bit of a rework with the BC, maybe give it a special upgrade in the armory after getting +3/+3, maybe a slight buff in terms of damage to buildings, possibly +2-4 more.

[@brasshouse-og]

I probably think Harstem calling his other account 'The Cowboy' is funnier than he does. I just always imagine him wearing a tiny cowboy hat and furiously mashing the keyboard.

[@Dimythios]

This was a great game. I've been watching starcraft since 2010. I personally think our "Cowboy" was limiting himself on purpose. I do this all of the time when I play Overwatch. He could have upgraded anytime during the game but limited himself to +1/+1. I he was working on his game mechanics as well has having fun in the process.

[@Axeiaa]

Who knows, he might have been trying some BGMWSS (Beating Grand Masters With Stupid Stuff) challenge and sent it to Lowko instead of using it for his own video. Or just Harstem being Harstem and forgetting something haha

13:40 "And this is a _really really_ expensive army for the terran player here to lose" so he says *while the zerg loses like 27 mutalisks or so* And I guess his point was also that terran has less eco (and zerg can rebuild units quicker as well), but still.

I mean, 400/300 for a BC and what, 350/300 or something for a carrier, but half the interceptors have to be built? Those numbers are close. Ultra is about 300/200 or something like that? Imo those numbers are easy to remember because they're all pretty similar and kinda make sense.

As a silver random player I believe a battlecruiser costs 400 minerals and 400 gas

[@Necroneer]

Felt like the Zerg would have killed the army of Terran there if he made use of the 3000 minerals in his bank to make unupgraded lings, guess he didn't have larva though and he won anyways so gg, also first time seeing a contaminated structure flying like that.

[@rob3at896]

Lings could not kill that army. too many Hellbats. And even without them you wold need a lot of larva for enough lings, especially since the lings were not upgraded further than speed.
