This Build Is REAL!! | Is It IMBA Or Do I Suck

[@Athelas952]

I'd also like to point out that the form said that the zerg had ZERO awareness, but in game there was an overlord over his natural for the whole time seeing the forge and twilight being chronod.

[@SapphirosCZ]

If you look at the form itself, this dude is simultaneously claiming Zeg are OP because of ulimited vision and that his Zerg opponent had zero awarness. Im not Starcraft Engineer, but something tells me those two thing are bit contradictory.

[@MagicRabbit]

@@SapphirosCZ I think what he meant was that Zerg is so op that he didn't even use the awareness he possibly had and still win. Like, hey I know he had complete vision, but I know for sure that he didn't make anything out of it. Or, to make a Harstem analogy: Imagine you have have a gun in a fist fight. But you use your gun to hammer on you enemy instead of shooting. So you waste all the potential of a gun and it is still so strong that it gives you a major advantage.

[@blackholeinacan]

@@SapphirosCZ I am a profession StarCraft engineer, PSE+*$ certified, and you are correct

[@DiverDrive428]

The Zerg is literally 500 MMR higher. It's like difference between Serral and, uh, you know, other very good professional player.

[@zhshsG7]

Your comment is gold

[@Alex-pq2fv]

That MMR difference in this replay feels like when a Bronze/Silver player claims something is imba. Like.........my guy, you're just starting to learn the game. You not understanding how to counter doesn't mean something is imba

Harstem, you are one of the two best commentators in SC2. Others just chat on irrelevant subjects. You are on point with the match you are commentating.

Dunno if possible but I would love to have "blind-state-dates" as a format: You bring f.e. Serral at a unwinnable stage of a game in a fight between two master-players and see what he can do. Like drop him in the middle of minute 13, the next big attack happening in 60 seconds, let's see if he can change the course of battle just by his magic :D

[@testie__111]

Harstem already did this and he won in every scenario even the "unwinnable" ones. Quite handedly actually

I'm not used to a Protoss complaining in a Terran fashion, except a Terran would never say they have "a nuanced" build, rather they have "a finely crafted galaxy brain build".

From the intro image I thought the game will be pvp and author toss is hiding his probe near the opponent's gas, mimikring to its own mining probes. Thus gains vision on the base for entire match

[@AntiDoctor-cx2jd]

I've noticed that in the ZvP matchup, there are certain gimmicks that can help each race. But when either of those races play terran, terran can match those gimmicks.

[@Growebz]

[@-Raylight]

[@roywallach6838]

Hey Harstem, You said something about Twitch in this video (around min 12:20) . I agree with you, but im not sure that it's for the same reason. can you expend on that point ?

[@tommydashed4205]

I'm just starting the video but I already see the cognitive dissonance lol. His build is simultaneously OP while zerg is also OP because the build fails. It isn't his build that's bad, oh no, its all because zerg is OP lol. This probably occurs because when it works it gives him a positive feedback loop but when it fails he blames an external source.

[@petersmith5624]

With unlimited vision how does he not see him coming?

you should add a new rule to the balance complaint form that your complaint cannot contain completely controdictory statments. it just shows that they dont actually understand what happened in the match or why you lost. if you say zerg has unlimited vision and then in the next breath say they have zero awareness, you are obviously clueless as to what you think is imbalanced.
