After reading Harstem's nickname as 'Tolsengard' for months... I just realised it's a capital i and not a lowercase l. 5 IQ confirmed.

[@danyboyj]

You got in before the "well actually..." comments 👍

[@Tauramehtar]

😂😂

[@sar_ptolemy]

toisen, tolsen i think the latter sounds more interesting

[@sandorbiro5574]

I was about to say that but you figured it out!

[@tahmidt]

Okay I had no idea that Harstem was this good! This was one sick gameplay!

[@TrueThanny]

He's beat Reynor a number of times on the ladder, too.

[@goobrrrr]

check out his channel

[@funkyboy_22]

You should really watch his channel here in YT. He makes some pretty good humor as well.

[@TheDerpiestSir]

When watching the captain call himself an idiot over and over again on his youtube channel, we all forget that he is still in fact a top level protoss player

[@unixtreme]

He's become absolutely insane and he's genuinely entertaining to watch

[@timd7399]

23:47 If you pause at the right time you can see that the colussus had 90 Kills... Thats a pretty efficient giraffe I'd say

[@middlefingergunsyt626]

Ends up with over 100

They're taking the hobbits to Isengard!

Reynor should've gone Corruptor- Hydra. I hear its amazing vs Battlecruiser-Mech as well.

[@LowkoTV]

Too soon

[@trayanpeltekov5472]

And don't forget the lurkers, they also make crazy efficent trades or so I heard *smirk*

[@guilhermefeitoza6803]

I'm Zerg but I was cheering for Harstem soooo hardly... He played so well. The initial harass, the drops, the blinks in banes... Excepcional.

[@eplanti]

eh, i still think protoss units are so good they make their players lazy: disruptors work, lets stop making them

[@NeostormXLMAX]

[@davidholland4713]

That's one of the most fun games I've seen. Kudos to Harstem for making Reynor work so hard for it. The multi-tasking from both players was phenomenal.

[@HiopX]

Hello everyone, his name is Lowko.

[@jkobain]

And welcome back

[@leedawson8438]

It makes me sad that he didn't say it much anymore

[@jkobain]

@@leedawson8438 he's provoking our «Lowko, where's HELL-LOW EFFREE-VON!» comments probably.

[@dwukropek]

Also don't forget to smile.

[@NinjaAdorable]

Any other player irrespective of Race would have GG'd out at around 20 minutes. Absolute domination by Harstem. But like you said Raynor finds the APM needed to turn the tide of battle by run bys and new bases. Incredible match.

[@phamun6297]

I disagree here Harstem threw the game by recalling his military to protect the south bases even though he had momentum in the north. He could have develop two bases there and left the south to die. He evacuated the area and Reynor dropped two bases there winning him the game.

[@mZStarCraft]

Very honorable of Harstem to send in a loss despite also playing ridiculously well. Very enjoyable game to watch.

[@yummyzerg]

> Colossus Harass New series everyone, I call it "Beating Reynor with stupid stuff"

[@Alekouzos]

Next Harstem video he sould cast his game vs raynor on "Its Imba or do i suck?"

[@jayemmzz8301]

nahh, nothing is broken, reynor just too imba.

[@dragosenescu331]

Of course they do it is literally in the Patch notes

[@thatlogicmax]

Calling "They're taking the hobbits to Isengard" a 'boomer video' just aged every Millennial 50 years. I'm dust, Lowko. I just turned to dust.

[@marianofiorotto5538]

10:47 "nice dodging here as well" *immediatelly stalker gets corrosive bile in the face.. I would never be tired of life determined in making lowko be wrong hahaha

[@alltat]

The same thing happened again a few minutes later. It's the caster curse.

[@foxypoxi]

This video lacks 'Harsem you suck!' montage of random internet warriors at the end =D

[@mathieugrenier27]

Man that was the best game I have seen in a while ! So close

[@zachary8569]

Love the instant replay and I hope to see more in your videos!

[@jakegasaway8427]

Great video! I never think of how Imba Zerg is until Lowko starts talking sarcastically and making very valid points!

[@cobble3231]

23:35 colossus at 81 kills

[@purpleblck]

This game should go into the books, what a masterpiece!!

[@ak-dy7ty]

Totally agree. Strorm drops against drones? I love it. So oldscool. What a varaity of micro brilliancy!

[@garygolo1]

love your casts ;D this game was awesome x)

[@seanmartin7257]

I’ve been watching so many Harstem videos over the past few days

[@sabincioflec8413]

Not gonna lie, knew Harmstem is good but didn't know that good. Game was awesome to watch, interesting moves by protoss..but Reynor is just too good. Also, min 12:25 is when Harstem made his biggest mistake, he retreated instead of keeping pressure and making sure his 5th base is up and running. That's when zerg got map control.

[@Wirmish]

Banelings are too powerful.

[@revetsllik7773]

17:28 Bruh that colossus be vibing

[@pandainasuit2297]

It’s a good day when lowko uploads

[@paleviolent]

Now THIS! Is the protoss style i'd like to see. Very agressive, very active. Not as slow and sluggish as it usually be. Not focusing one one tech path. But utilizing many kind of unit in their arsenal. Almost zerg like. Really wish Harstem had this. But yeah reynor lings run by really does the job. Well done for both of them. It quite refreshing.

[@davidkim5462]

That was a sick match!

[@xMoff]

What an entertaining game, Harstem playing with confidence and makes the game so much more fun to watch. The disruptor drops get the adrenaline pumping!

[@martinstowasser8592]

Actually it's one of the best vids you commented. Pretty well played and the amount of apm kin so many different positions is awesome! Thank you for that.

[@pheonixz1533]

Amazing video love your channel

[@awooawoo9628]

Man Reynor's decision making at 14:10 was amazing. Sees the stalker blinking up to scout baneling runbys, Reynor then sells the runby well by sending a small group of banelings to the scouting stalker then rotates the larger baneling force around undedected right into the HT's.

[@woblywoo2]

one of the best games ive seen and i just got into Harstem a week ago. didnt know he was this good

[@ttrop]

i talked about this sometime ago in brood war reever drops were common, distrupters are basically reevers so i was sad not alot of protoss were doing distrupters in mineral lines

[@traviswilliams3034]

That's because scarabs in BW detonate regardless of if you pick up the reaver. If a disruptor dies or gets picked up, the disruptor ball doesn't do any damage, making drop harass a lot less viable.

[@ossdemura]

Great game! Thanks Lowko! Greetings from Luxembourg.

[@TacticalAnt420]

Lowko is the only youtuber that doesn’t make editing but I like it!

[@Keln02]

Thanks to your "Terran Imba QQ", I found out about harstem's channel, much appreciated :D

[@peterpankotai6611]

Love your vids!

[@yamilabugattas3895]

That game was impressive, I actually didn't expect such a great game. Awesome moves by Harstem! I love those disruptor drops.

[@jayemmzz8301]

This was the closest match i've every seen, like its anyones game at the last minute.

[@Treksh]

What breath of fresh air man!

[@cbryan3549]

Harstem is my absolute fav player to watch, thanks for casting his game! :)

[@christiandang8695]

at the beginning, Harstem was asking when Reynor would be playing Zest in the Douyu Cup, so Reynor was warming up for that, and Harstem ended up casting the series with Wardiii. You can watch Harstem's FOV of the game here, but it is muted in the middle. You can also watch Harstem cast the series right after the game: www.twitch.tv/videos/708899512?t=00h10m03s

[@UmerVakil]

Follow Harstem's channel & never knew he could get THIS intense. Can understand why he submitted this game - played impeccably. Thought he'd won for sure...but after the early game you couldn't tell who's ahead at any given time, nail biting.

[@ZirJo]

"-The power of Morgoth -What did you say?" I'm such a boomer xD Amazing game by the way! Loved it

[@user-zg6zc2zx4s]

This match was way more interesting than the zvp i saw yesterday for 2020 s2 gsl finals

[@CrimsonCrime2234]

I watched the entire video. Both player played so well it doesn’t matter if it’s win or not anymore

This is the last time I lookup a music suggested in a non-music related video! sheesh! lol

Imagine sending your friends that video of "they're taking the hobbits to Isengard" and then having to explain that a starcraft streamer made a video casting a game where he mentioned it to someone that doesn't know Lowko
