The ULTIMATE Nydus Worms | Beating Grandmasters With Stupid Stuff ( StarCraft 2)

[@se1578]

I've watched your videos while stoned in bed for a month. Never played star craft and I've no idea what's going on, but it's so entertaining. Thankyou so much for the videos :)

[@squidikka]

Check out uthermal. He's my favourite. I also don't play SC, but the commentary he does makes it easy to follow and highly entertaining.

Hey captain, just wondering which level of players you could beat using a laptop and its touchpad instead of a mouse…great content!! I absolutely love it! Thank you very much for making SC2 so entertaining for your average Joe players!

[@Nova_Jan]

Use double nydus to spread creep. Pop 5+ queens in and out to spread creep across the map almost instantly.

[@phileas007]

Plumber Harstem be like: "I'm worst at what I do best, and for this gift I feel blessed"

[@sethwhite4635]

Beautiful. Always thought Zerg should leverage drops, nydus and burrrowing more

[@Junebug89]

I feel like this video shows exactly why they don't use nydus more lol. Being guaranteed to lose 75 gas no matter what you do is kind of brutal.

[@marcomahdi435]

HARSTEM SHOULD BE THE OFFICIAL CASTER OF ESL

[@Erebus2075]

32:56 use nydus to take weird bases on their side off the map. 300 for hatch, move drones through, mine as much as you can steal; you can even make a lot off it into static if you want to wasted his side off the maps resources, but else just evacuated before it becomes a danger, and use the hatch to produce units into the nydus; do it several places over the fight; and it becomes very hard to stop you from maximum mining all the time, also it would look AWESOME and feel super Zerging ;D

[@RadiantRedSteel]

Those roaches ambushing the tanks just as they unsieged was so hype

[@mynickisjal]

"If there could be ONE song i could listen to, for the rest of my life, it would be a CD" - Harstem, 2023

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

Both plumbing and electrical stuff have low risk starting points. For electric stuff, installing a ceiling lamp (IKEA style) is literally two cables. Next level is exchanging a socket. In plumbing, installinf a dishwasher or washing machine is level 1. That’s a single pipe and an electric socket. The next level is changing kitchen faucet, which is usually 3 nuts and perhaps a bit of plumbing tape.

[@magellanduchaine2555]

Want to see a Stratego challenge! :D 2 players hide a structure on the map that they have to defend

[@TritonTv69420]

Harstem where do i send you a replay. I fell in the shower the other day and came up with a build. Haha

[@princess_love9929]

Harstem on 12 gas completely broke making yet another nydyus worm " just some minor harrassment"

[@sc2youtube744]

Itd be really fun to see this guy play protoss

[@doublecrossedswine112]

he'd probably just go oracle every game

[@sc2youtube744]

@@doublecrossedswine112 lol so true

[@chir0pter]

I still really want to see proxy nydus network + nydus worm at home when opponent is present there, or just double nydus, combined with perhaps swarmhosts, so the opponent gets no warning of the first wave

[@Junebug89]

Hold position lurkers were actually invented by mistake. Someone figured out that if you grouped an overlord with your lurkers in Brood War, you could hold position the overlord and it would also stop Lurkers from firing. It was a big deal to happen several years into the games life! So the hold position option for SC2 lurkers is just copying that.

[@oliverhughes610]

God the amount of inefficient gas mining in that first game physically pained me lol

[@RadiantRedSteel]

Always nice to have front tower slots, never know when you might need them!

[@steveABCDEFG]

I love this podcast but this is the first time I watch the video. What is this game he’s playing?

[@zor8952]

Starcraft 2

[@Erebus2075]

32:29 ive been screaming this for Years!!! if you are serral or dark, sure you got 600 apm to work with, those 50 extra from using units to defend bases will likely not lose you a lot. but for Everyone else; those 50 apm you now got for other stuff, and not losing drones etc. are Extremely worth it.. and FGS start doing these on protoss as well, they got the best static in the game, good enough that with gate walls it can hold off 40-50supply armies without support at all. or for 2-3 warpcycles if they are dedicating tier and tech units too destroying it. also you should have one more in top, so it actually kills the medivac boosting in from top as they 100% will

[@zwingler]

If im allowed to suggest. Just like widow mine drops. Could Swarm host drops be viable ? Plop them out, quickly get your bloodlings out and fly away.

[@mothrahlurker788]

That used to be an actually viable strategy in top tier play, that is the reason why the nydus got nerfed to the current state. It takes longer to unload and each worm is more expensive.

[@moozoo82]

You can only fit 2 in an overlord, and one of the benefits is that they can fire from distance, but... it'd be funny!

[@PoneryBugsnax]

I have the greatest, dumbest idea ever. Proxy buildings as zerg around the maps using pooperlords, like an Ultra Cavern or a Spire into a muta play, just some really dumb stuff.

[@vietnguyenquoc9173]

21:46 we're really just here for a minor harrassment Man i hope no one take this out of context

[@anotherplatypus]

Was thinking of suggesting an idea for a series called Losing to Grandmasters with Stupid Stuff... but dratts, apparently you can't neural critters.

[@BucksterMcgee]

Question: Does the final opponent's team color changing to light blue as soon as they leave indicate this was not a ladder game? 41:41 Curious who the opponent was.

[@dustincintron1682]

Sick zerg performance last game

[@paulbaker8083]

Just an idea, but beat grand masters using mass nydus like sentry forcefields.

[@erkistan]

And idea for bgmwss - contain enemy and prevent them from expanding with static defense (batteries, cannons and such stuff) until they are out of resources?

[@josephfield6969]

What about dropperlord drops like they’re medivacs?

[@MantasJurkuvenas]

haven't seen locust in a while, is it still a unit ??

[@Erebus2075]

39:48 or use nydus to make bases in corners for safer income,

[@basicuser54]

Sadly this series is a solid tutorial at my level 😂

[@sylvannight6153]

Nydus worm goes BRRRRRRRRRR? :O

[@dschortz]

Bgmws simultaneous nukes

[@quineloe]

I'd really love to know by what logic burrowed widow mines are still visible when invisible lurkers with hold fire exist.

[@Erebus2075]

14:54 5+ ghost you lose unless T utterly fk up.

[@Erebus2075]

21:27 the point off the nydus is to use it, if he had retreating marines the zergling would have gotten them by running from the nydus, if you wanted to pressure it would be scary fast counter attack. but instead bc nydus mechanic are like playing an old dos based game; horrendously bad, so they are only used for cheese stuff.

[@Erebus2075]

22:59 T constantly adds commandcenters when ahead; Z never had macro hatches when ahead. it's one off those things that could be really good when done at the right moments ^^ like to increase production and future ensure larva

[@Erebus2075]

24:01 bc nydus use stress the apm and mind; you are floating 1k min and 300 gas, if this was into units, defence, anything; it is 20 marines and 2 medivac deficit for no reason

[@tatotato85]

Harstem iif you wanna try random bs and be succesful Terran is the race for it

[@NuclearCincy]

YOU ARE AWESOME

[@enymus3081]

Really cool to see Harstem cut out the two loses against Heromarines only Cyclone challenge i watched earlier today on Twitch? 😂😂😂

[@JFox4587]

I mean, it make sense cuz the video would be stupid long. Hero marine clearly would destroy his off race

[@nairydesaulnier6215]

No one came to see him lose

[@Ayreez1]

??? The series is literally called “beating GMs…” ofc he isn’t going to show him losing, that’s not the point of this series

[@NuStiuFrate]

Man the nydus worm just does not work. Harstem tried his best but it was just wasted money.

[@Erebus2075]

36:36 but mines are fine - disruptors are fine... come on man, only Z got hard screwed on EVERY new unit addition... its sad. P at least got the disruptor, which is op but lame, but yer all the cool stuff only went to T; neither P or Z got to utilize anything really new and cool from campaigns.... meeh.. stupid

[@DiverDrive428]

Ling drop into Nidus. Have you been watching too much Uthermal lately? That's like his thing. Not cool to try and copy it like that, man, not cool.😂

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

I think dark would have made this work.

[@zor8952]

Dark... and Harstem. That last game was epic

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

@@zor8952 I believe you, but are you talking about a dark v harstem game? Which one? I remember they played eachother in a "best of 2" where they split 1:1. It was some kind of team vs team I think. I believe Dark did early roaches both games, which I think is what he does vs people he thinks are worse than him.
