Triple Forge MASS UPGRADES | Beating Grandmasters With Stupid Stuff

[@sethmoyer]

I always thought it was funny that if you're doing triple forge, if you select all 3 of your forges you can type "GAS" to queue up all of the upgrades. It helps remind you what you just spent all of.

[@zaksmith1035]

You could also type "SAG", which is what happens to your resources.

[@kemptonholley6393]

[@1august12]

My favorite of the old challenges was the one where you tried to get a unit to the max rank, 20 kills or whatever it was. That was a sick video. If you're re-doing old challenges, I'd love to see it again!

[@plantex625]

Yeah it was an Immortal right and he just kept it alive forever with a prism and got like 35 kills? I liked the one where he was stealing minerals with probes

[@rozmarinideas5340]

The easiest unit for that is a BC I think. Whenever I make one of those I'm disappointed if it isn't a commander by the end of the game.

I just wanna say, that in the 3 years you've been here. You've grown so much and your lovely mood is just fantastic. Keep it up :)

[@jonbro32]

25:55 This is the type of fight that creates high quality balance wine. You just blasted through a massive tank line, multiple bunkers and into choke after choke. On top of that you force fielded half of your own army while preventing the Terran from taking a worse position.

[@ieaturanium574]

I think the forcefield was good instinct because it ends the fight sooner leaving his units closer to low hp natural nexus to help defend it faster. in this specific situation it didn't work out, but I say it's good instinct because most of the times in similar situations it would be better.

[@eth5632]

I legit love upgrade challenges. Sometimes they're complete garbage but one of the only self made builds I actually practised was a one base charge lot +1 all in into archon-sentry and +2 if you don't kill them quickly. It's just hilarious when your units deal so much more damage then you expect them to and win with just half of their army because of hidden numbers alone. One game especially I did it agains a zerg who was building roaches on 2 base and walling against the zealots. I had a hard time breaking until the archons came to the front and could break it down, at which point he had something like 10-14 mutas. Long story short guardian shield with +2 archons vs clumped muta-roach = funny haha. I slept well that night knowing I could never be sad again.

[@Eddyhartz]

For 100k special get some coaching with a top zerg player but get Reynor to secretly play for you instead and they can tell you everything he is doing wrong.

[@ehk5948]

Well if he has Lambo coaching he was Reynor's coach for a while.

[@sc2youtube744]

This is a hilarious idea

[@jonbro32]

This, but have Reynor do he coaching. Reynor, always speaks his mind and he's hilarious.

[@faridmk3707]

OMG this needs to happen. Get a top 7k zerg and have a 6.5-6.8k zerg coach him.

[@oOBlackadderOo]

I really like how Harstem describes what can go wrong but he has it counted in. 30 seconds later he loses to that very thing. And stays calm and entertaining despite. BGWSS basically is seeing him lose in a very enjoyable and symphatic way 8/10 times. :-) Keep it up!

[@Beanybag2]

"ohhh he's going banshee and I won't have detection! Oh, I hate having to build batteries." Hey Kev, I think you forgot about those forges you built, you can warp in the Photo Cannon and it gives a pretty wide detection range (I think it might do something else too, idk)

[@davidrobles1360]

haha that's what I thought, a single cannon per base.. but I guess he was thinking to maximize his minerals to get anything that was actually useful.

[@norberthiz9318]

cannons are really bad against banshee harass. Unless you build like 3 per base, the banshees will always find a blind spot without detection where they can kill probes

[@MythicalLemon]

20:30 "just hit my 3rd puberty, live on this channel" was hilarious

[@jacksonframpton7751]

That was an insane last fight I’m glad he watched it back in slow motion to reiterate how powerful those zealots were lol

[@JFox4587]

My favorite was the one where you built proxy bases around the map, and each base had a different kind of unit.

[@scotti-pequeno]

Would love to see a part 2 of this. 2 games weren't enough :)

[@JacekUW]

@Harstem these are the most internet data friendly channel. With your graphics settings there is no difference between HD and 480p lol. Love your channel! Keep beating them!

[@thobrik]

Maybe you've done this in the past but: You can't attack until you have at least one of every unit that you can make. You have to attack with all of them in the army (workers not necessary).

[@Tryptic214]

Harstem: "When I [win], it feels really good but when I [lose], it feels really bad." Truer words of wisdom were never spoken.

[@soulman3494]

Hello Harstem, best SC2 content creator on YT. Have an idea for beating grandmasters with stupid stuff (or maybe more for cheesiest man alive?), not sure if this strategy could work in any case. Idea is to rush Nexus in enemy main base, meanwhile build some basic units behind it. When nexus finishes then recall all your stuff there (including probes) - this would be some kind of "Protoss Nydus worm". If opponent force you to cancel that nexus then just expand and play casual game (forcing cancel should cost him a lot of mining time right?). What do you think about it?

[@MeesterG]

When you re-started the intro from 17:50 I thought you decided against bashing American players and then you went and did it even harder xD Well done

[@thesilentmajority2765]

ive never seen someone make an actual wall of units to protect their base. very cool

These types of challenges are my favourites, it's really nice to see how massive upgrade leads actually are.

[@Supergoon1989]

25:42 This fight is so sick! Upgrades clearly matter so so much, i'm gonna start chrono-ing my forges like All the time: as soon as 1 chrono expires I hit it with another. Without upgrades you would have been absolutely slaughtered here!

Idk why I just love seeing highly upgraded units shredding low upgrade units. I guess it is because of my quick +2 armour with guardian shield adept build against Terran back in lotv beta where they had like 160 health.

[@peterm4905]

I don't know if you have ever done this.... but beating grandmaster series... you have to tell them what you are doing. Example: before you start...I going 1 gate expand... then when you attack you type attacking your right flank doing a zealot run by and warpgate in your main. It would be so funny to watch you win doing this.... blink Dts on there way to your forth haha.

At 100k subscribers, Harstem fights all his subscribers 1v1 till someone is able to beat Harstem. No sleep or life for Harstem and if he throws a fight so it ends then everyone unsubscribes and he starts back at 0. Whoever beats Harstem gets a segment on Harstem's KZbin channel. Possible Nonsense Titles for the event could be: " Harstem vs The World: Battle for All the Marbles" or " Harstem vs The World: Battle for All the Dutch Tulips"
