The ULTIMATE One Trick Pony Build for Terran | Getting rank 100 with Terran

[@TransTess]

I can imagine Harstem playing/reviewing a dating sim like he plays starcraft. "Open up with a two date expand. We wont flirt, flirting is for losers"

[@monkeybusiness673]

"Two date expand" x'D Nice!

[@CyRxJustin]

"If I can do it, then most people should be capable of doing it." -Professional SC2 player on his top 100 GM off race.

[@Feligresa]

I think that was meant more as "If it's possible against GM players, it should be possible against Gold"

[@CyRxJustin]

@@Feligresa Yeah, I get that, but also a Gold leaguers execution is going to be much worse. Harstem does BGMWSS but that doesn't mean that people in Gold league should try to emulate the build just because "If Harstem can beat GMs with this then I should be able to get to GM with this."

[@henningbreede6428]

@@CyRxJustin no but if Harstem can do it vs GM you can do it vs Gold.

[@Riceyes]

@@CyRxJustin Harstem doesn't tell people that his beating gm strats can work at lower levels, so why make the comparison? Those aren't builds, they're just for fun. Instead he recommends a build(i.e this one) that is an actual build. There is a difference. "Execution" of the build doesn't have to be GM level when your opponent is just as bad as you are.

[@kadiea8664]

@@Riceyes But thats not true, some people are much better than u are but worse in other aspects. My opening and macro is probably bronze level but my micro is better than my diamond friends so im placed low plat. So I believe that execution of sub-optimized builds do need to be at a higher level especially if your enemy is executing an optimized one (albeit poorly) An optimized build with bad execution would do better than a non-optimized build with bad execution.

[@Chris971.]

This video made me super excited to jump back into starcraft so I studied the way you played it, wrote the build order down and practiced it over 10 times against the AI. Then I went into matchmaking and lost 20 games in a row trying to play this build. Feels bad man.

[@hermeticinstrumentalist6804]

At least you tried.

[@qtest202]

Cheesing doesn't work in reality. What cheesers do is they only publish the one recorded video they have where they happened to win. You don't see the countless countless countless times they get destroyed into little pieces

[@mikekollin4271]

pls share the exact build order if u made it!

[@bbsonjohn]

I would like Harstem reviewing classic RTS. Warcraft series, Red Alert Series, Tiberium Series, AOE series, Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander, Empire Earth, etc

[@austinvitelli1528]

total annihilation was such a great game for its time

[@pallingtontheshrike6374]

uh... Rise of Nations 0-0?

[@bbsonjohn]

@@pallingtontheshrike6374 Ya, I forgot YoN too. I actually played RoN a bunch. Just getting piss of you cannot nuke town center (settlement) into non-existence as it aways allows you to rebuild on the same spot. LOL

Doesn't look like he could handle anything outside of cheesing randos on ladder, he probably wouldn't be able to beat a computer

[@marcoatzori92]

Ok, I guess we shall all agree that Harstem needs a new series, where he does game reviews... for ALL the games XD

[@DaveStarfire]

GTA 5 review when?

[@GingerDRan]

I would watch you do game reviews in a "is it good or does it suck" point of view

[@furse2190]

You know that we are going to need that game review video. This needs to exist asap

[@stagecoachrobbery]

That Widowmine hit at 41:22 took out at least 17 Zerglings, and then the follow up was another 25! I'm not saying it won you the game, but it was at a pretty critical part of that game in which your battle could of gone either way. Actually, hey probably won you the game. Nice playing!

[@kilburnsc]

Here are some more weapons of mass confusion :) oui = french sì = italian sí = spanish, catalan sim = portuguese si = galician

[@mithcio]

I see you never dealt with French descendants of Spaniards who grew in Galicia, they say "si" when asked if they want to go oui oui!😜

Si.

[@cdcspoon1663]

@Harstem, if you send the MULE to the far away patches it completes 9 trips, but does not have enough time to mine pick up the 10th load. This way you get the same money out of the MULE as you would on a near patch per life, but the trade off is it yields 7.5 less minerals per minute.

[@skipp3252]

I don't recommend doing that though. Because the far patches are always the once with less minerals and if you MULE patches they get mined considerably faster. So you are saving 25 minerals per MULE but you are lowering your income permanently much faster by having less patches to mine from.

[@brett2themax]

100% do game reviews like that

[@zes3813]

no such thing as surprise or know or x todx etc, do, can do any nmw s perfx

@@noneofyourbusiness4133 Haha, I loved all the factions music in Generals as well. I have everything saved in my playlist.

[@EdgeGaming]

Definitely heard the MGS Alert sound effect there when you sniped Vanya's best units. These are the high test plays we've come to expect.

[@Nuovoswiss]

It might be neat to see you playing off-genre indie games like Factorio or Kerbal Space Program. Could do that on stream so you can ask the chat for info, then have Hamster edit it down to something youtube-length.

[@qtest202]

He probably won't cause they don't have mulitplayer to cheese

@@qtest202 The cool thin about those games is that you can cheese in single player. For KSP, at least.

I look forward to Harstem's GTAV coverage. EDIT: Also grats on 75k subs!

[@PavlosPapageorgiou]

14:53 Do it! You'll tear them to shreds so bad it'll be funny.

[@jean-christophearsenault2104]

Harstem being like : "Gooood I suck". I know it's irrationnal but we all can relate!

[@furioni333]

Yeah, music makes the game. A valid talking point. I feel the same way about older games like heroes of might and magic 3 or Tzar burden of the crown. Like, I wouldn't enjoy it as much without the music.

[@alexandrdmitrievich550]

Harstem, about the mules dropping minerals, if you place them on the far mineral patches they won`t be able to mine those 25 minerals and will die before that, due to the longer time, needed to travel to the CC and back. In that way you will not lose those 25 minerals.

[@jirivaltr560]

"I'm huge fan of how I did that" :D :D :D

Harstem, you may like Command & Conquer Red alert. its a RTS classic, and was remastered last year in Steam, so looks great. Is fast paced as Sc.

That build damn! What have you done? Now I suddenly struggle a lot vs terrans in my trusty PvT, I blame you Captain Maneuver Man!

[@jrocker152]

This guy got me to reinstall SC2. I'm currently bronze, but I am incredibly slow of hand. It is just more enjoyable after his sense of humor. Thank you, Harstem.

You won't be able to get too far with cheesing it's just pretend internet points.

the french who eat pasta ,pizza and say "si" for yes

[@ZKav]

not sure if it works still, but if you send your mule to a far mineral patch instead of a close patch, you dont have that last haul being erased problem.

i i just made a build 3 rax hits at 3.35 with 5 marines a marauder and stim or combat shields about to finish and another stream of 4 marines and marauder crossing...you hit at 3.35 with the 4 marines to stop any bunker or before a second stalker. if they are greedy you win and you can micro any other early agression.

[@octav3k]

YES! I'd love to see you play other RTSes! Or any game, really!

34:40 jesus. I would lose here. My 3 racks plan failed. I mustered up 20? marined versus endless lings and 20 roaches.

[@maddie2267-t2j]

I have some funny ideas for a terran beating grandmaster with stupid stuff. Play hellclone mech with mines, and drop the hellions and mines with medivacs. Another idea is going bio but rushing fusion core for medivac speed, and trying to let the opponent scout and think its battlecruiser.

BGMWSS: Two base double expand challenge. Get two bases and from there, only double expand. Hidden expos are optional but give you style points.

Didn’t he already do this? I know I watched one where he must always double expand but not sure if it started with a single expand.
