@@0815Snickersboy @razvanov LEGENDS! I have so many questions.. What's with the random switch to corruptors? Also clemfromwish do you know what mules do? Have any of you ever seen a pro sc2 game before or do you just improvise?
At 12:30 there suddenly is a Protoss player in the game and he lost 850 Resources. Is that Harstem did Harstem through watching this game lose brain Resources??
Just from the form alone and seeing the words, "Perfect", "Micro", "Macro" and "Multi-task" from a Terran already sparks entertainment. Then I saw Hydra-Corruptor and I knew Harstem wouldn't miss the chance to not let Lowko live that down. Most passive Zerg I've seen and as expected from a product from Wish(TM), it's a botched job.
Lol exactly my thoughts, guy is Plat and says everything was "on point", on top of that even talks about "multitasking", I'm yet to see multitasking in Diamond, let alone Plat 🤣
@@beckerzineo Yeah even in low to mid master league multitasking isn't really a thing. they might split their armies more and have something that approaches it but multitasking is the pinnacle of skill in this game. When you can control two armies and macro at the same time nearly as well as you would normally while focused just on one of those things, even if "normally" for you isn't absolutely amazing, you can probably get to high master. I'm in high diamond and I play against masters all the time and I know from that personal experience that neither me nor my opponent are multitasking really, if we split our focus it becomes very apparent during the replays.
21:21 really characterizes this entire video. Mines trying to path past hydras while unstimmed marines lose a fight they should have won. This guy's obviously not entirely incompetent, but really really needs to work on micro.
The interesting thing is that, even though he didn't micro at all, if he had simply sent his "multitask" groups out with A-moves instead of move commands, he might've won. So many of the fights were his units dying without ever firing a shot as they try to walk through the zerg army. Also, it would've helped him if he just stopped making any mines or tanks. They're great units, sure, but I think you can count the number of times the mines and tanks were actually able to fire on a single hand each.
I agree - he move-commanded his squads to some random locations for a new, "surprising" attack angle. But due to map layout and creep, the Zerg saw it coming from miles away. What I do not get is, that his camera was looking at it. Whenever I rally troops to some spot on the map and my troops just die, I usually look at my base, building stuff etc.
I swear every one of these submissions only makes the race of the submitter seem OP. In this case, terran had negative micro in every single fight, somehow managed a 10k resource lost deficit in a TvZ, and still managed to be kind of in the game still. This is something I would submit as the zerg player for terran being imbalanced.
For a Plat player, he's focusing macro so hard that he was able to stay in the game. I remember when I was in the silver league, I always try to blink micro, try to fungal, storm, feedback etc. Even I was floating in minerals. He simply produced more stuff but threw them. I think he is on the right path, he can later add micro. Macro is more important in lower leagues.
Harstem. Your content is so great. You make me happy everytime I see "Is it IMBA or do I suck?". I literally say that phrase throughout the day to cheer myself up. Thank you so much for your amazing content.
I really love how we start this game with raising a depot last section and to block the path of the SVC making the second depot and move commanding the first two marines this leaving the overlord at like 4hp causing a scan to be used later. I also like the pro move of going up to 5 tech labs after all research is done and then only making marines from them for another 8 minutes.
Haven't seen one of these in a bit and I forgot how enjoyable they were. It's really interesting to me to see how assertive lower mmr players about what's right/wrong in sc2. And love the way harstem covers it all extremely well (:
I do it a lot too (as a pathetic diamond Terran) it’s bcs u press burrow then a move the army and they walk instead of burrowing when u a move. Just mistakes that happen in a game
Yeah he does mule a few times. At around 11:15 when he floated down his third base he called down a mule while the base was still airborne and it did a full trip carrying minerals from his third to his natural. Then later on after the base has landed he drops some more.
This reminds me of my BIL. We were Masters 2v2 both Terran. I controlled the whole army, so he could focus on Macro. His build order wasn't as clean as mine, but in the late game his Macro was on point. He didn't ladder 1v1, but I figured he was at least Platinum. We entered into a 1v1 friendly tournament and he lost to Sliver/Gold players. He Macroed well, but just sent all his units to their death. I realized he didn't know how to control units at all (A Move would've been better than what he did). I didn't notice in 2v2, because he would just defend his base with Static D. I also realized that if I'm doing 100% of the Micro, then of course his Macro will be on point. There's nothing else to do!
Is your name Icarus? This feels really like an Icarus story. (Or that one marshmallow that you forgot was near the fire while trying to make a s'more.).
@@PenguinIceDelta you’re probably right, the issue too is when I play well enough not to suck, I usually win. Thus the argument for imbalance dissipates.
22:16 This guy should rename himself Zapp Brannigan. Two of his quotes come into mind, "When I'm in command, every mission is a suicide mission" "You see, killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness, I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down."
I would bet very heavily that he's using greenboxing the whole time and avoiding f2. So many people tell these players to get rid of the f2 key but they don't have the control group skills or green boxing to actually handle an army without f2 and tab so it results in them having absolutely no fucking control. I've seen it so many times in plat and below. When the marines went to hit a base and were surrounded and the medivacs boosted off leaving the marines to die I laughed so hard.
Dude you are the best comedian i've ever watched XD I'm loving every single Is it imba or do i suck video so much XD Saying "he was probably playing another starcraft game on another screen" made me ROFL XD
Hey Harstem, love your videos but I think your picture is way too large. It makes the whole video very unbalanced. You naturally move the camera so that the action is somewhre in the center. But with your avatar, the actually viewable part of the screen is the left 2/3 of which the left 1/3 naturally gets rarely any action. As a result the video part that the viewer looks at is very small and your mouse cursor is most of the time very close to the "new right side" of your viewing area. Check 03:59-04:45 It gets better if you zoom out but sometimes that does not even do it. Check for example 8:05 - 08:15, 11:20 Thankfully you corrected it later 11:48
26:06 classic case of microing the units made T lose way more stuff than just a-moving and stimming. If he just a-moved and stimmed, he would've probably killed the hydras on the right first and just won the fight instead of losing it :D
those medivacs where sadistic, this game reminded me of broodwar's opening cutscene whre Stukov and DuGalle are watching the zerg invasion from the safety of their BC letting the marines die without firing even a single laser and then leaving.
Harstem could you do a game mode where there's no Fog of War? I.E. both players know all the information on the map the whole time. Would be really interesting to see who could win in a game with perfect information.
It looked like Clem was doing a speed run for the GM to Bronze challenge. Macro was Diamond 1 - Master 3 (except for the lack of mules),, but the micro - what micro? Also, stim, siege, burrow, add liberators, kill creep. Burrowed mines alone would have made this a walk in the park.
About the monkeys with typewriters, that's called phase-space. The possibilities. In phase space, there is a player called ClemFromWish who is actually better than the OG Clem ! In phase-space, there is even ClemFromWish who makes the Iodis series and a 2.9k mmr Harstem who submits an imba complaint :)
12:21 the terran play was so terrible, it actually hurt harstem's protoss brain enough that it actually destroyed 850 of his protoss brain cells. the result was a loss of 850 precious protoss resources. they're gone now. all of them.. they're just.... gone.
@@swaggadash9017 no, the other guy just had 12 Marines to defend against 7 ultras and 20 hydras. I'd say it would be IMBA if 12 Marines with perfect micro (not this guy's negative micro) could beat 7 ultras and 20 hydras told to kill the fourth.
This is the first imba report I've ever seen! (I've never even seen that form.) It makes me want to play and enter one, but yeah this guy needs to Micro more.
12:25 Protoss got nerfed so hard in the last patch that they're losing resources in TvZ

Wow, you guys are pretty observant, I wanted to mention that as well.
Harstem's editor is awesome anyway, I can see why Lowko wants them.

Cheesy toss crying hard right now 🤣
I don't know which protoss gives the minerals to this terran, but clearly invested in the wrong player. Perhaps it was because of the name 🤣
12:26 is definitely an imba moment - Terran loses marines tanks, Zerg loses ling bane, and the net net is… “-850 Resources for PROTOSS”
Poor Protoss, so nerfed they're getting robbed in games they're not in.

You have to submit your Z-29 tech switch form in advance to the Terran hq.
You know it's going to be good when a platinum player says he did everything perfect!
But he responded to a tech switch by changing the balance of the two tier 1 units he was making. Or at least in his mind he did.

Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen worse micro in my life. Just pressing stim and standing still would be infinitely better.
It's not that he lost to an afk opponent, it's that at 26:05 he lost a fight against afk units.

Replays like these remind me how efficient Terran army is. It's insane how much value these units trade for
Surprisingly good trades considering no stim and medivacs not even in the fight most of the time
Now compare the difficulty of terran micro to zerg aclicks. Zerg dont have to micro at all and make a good fight with the these aclick compositions.
Found the platinum player ^
13:50 Just watched 2022 remake of Mengsk ditching Kerrigan at Tarsonis
So accurate instead of tactical jump from bc those medivac boosted away so good.
I wish there was a "deaths witnessed" stat just for those medivacs.
I like that the Zerg not only went with the Lowko build, but went with the Lowko anti-air build against a pure ground army (with medivacs).
And got scared every time he won a fight, and retreated with a full army vs 6 marines and 2 liberators or something similar.
9:05 it's impressive to see that this is a TvZ match and Protoss lost money on the fight.
I think we all can agree that this is IMBA.
Props to all the brave players who send their replays to get roasted
I feel like this guy was so inspired by marine splitting that he forgot everything else.
