Looking at the cannon rusher, you would have been able to tell it was at least diamond. Low league cannon rushers don't know how to wall off their cannon.
@@LetterB2Yeah, just Zerg building a random number of lings for no reason gets me more than a twelve pool. Maybe if I forget to hold command my zealot.
@@AnimeFan-wd5pq lol I love it when a protoss doesn't hold command :D random number of lings only works if I scout your really greedy. Otherwise I shouldn't be doing that.
Yeah EU... I think the guy is probably just a 12 pooler, and so when his build didn't do anything for him he got wrecked lowest GM on EU is 4787 Lowest GM on NA 4611 M3 on NA is ~4280 no idea about EU
It feels like the main issue with the spore was that they were placing them on the edge where the immortals could hit them from the low ground. Would they maybe have been useful if they were placed further in? Just at preventing the toss from doing any immortal juggling inside the main base?
@@nopnopnopxd34 No, but they often look the same when facing someone of their own level. I can guarantee this Zerg crushes most diamond players if they face in a match.
The protoss already has a forge and pylon at the top of their ramp. If the zerg runs across the map, the protoss will throw down a cannon and full wall with 1 more 3x3 if they need to.
So the protoss then have spent 600 minerals at the proxy and have to spend 450 at the ramp. And your ravages will come out much faster then his immortal + warpprism
@@Grass89Eater The protoss only slows themselves down by about 190 minerals. 150 for the cannon and about 40 to cancel the gateway in the wall and replace it with a cybernetics core. Everything else is something the protoss wants to build. The zerg loses more than 190 minerals by building a spawning pool at 12 and using larvae on lings that early. Of course cannon rushes can be beat and aren't even that good, otherwise pros would play them more than roughly 0% of the time, but I don't think rushing zerglings and sending them across the map is the way to do it.
This guy is 2000IQ, Used his free name change to change to the username of his absolute nemisis. Then played such a bad game and wasted no time writing a long email which he KNEW would be aired. He used the time saved writing an essay to recoup the lost ladder points.
If he saw the pylon, while your lings are finishing up, take drones down and start working on the pylon asap. this will also stop the pylon from being covered and forced the probe to make another pylon elsewhere, at that point your ling will be able to work on the new pylon, effectively shutting this down.
I won't lie, I took notes from this game for when I offrace with Protoss. NO joke, my execution of the Toss' cannon rush would be probably worse than the execution of this zerg's 12 pool.
Sidenote: The opponents name reminded me of Alphastar. Is that project still going? I was wondering if it would have made improvement over nearly a decade. It was almost the DeepBlue of SC2 when it was released so I'd expect it to be there with the improvements to AI since then. Maybe it was just Neuralinked into Serral for additional training.
8 minutes is more than enough time to get a spire, and a round of mutas... which would stop this for awhile... often its more effective as zerg is relatively more mobile then terran with nydus's nad basing else where as its tech tree is different, the msot important thing if I am Zerg and being rushes is sending a coutner attack of some form of units to kill their workers so their means of assault is severely impeded. Air can help here... roaches... okay... ravagers... its a little late... the use of hte mutas, can allow you to stop teh juggling with the prism... 8 minute death... that has many paths to solve the problem...spine crawlers with lings infront of htem set bakc a bit can be useful.. but the only entry is the ramp and prism.. so... it shouldn't of gotten to that point.. and with no coutner attack.. you just havea free pumping station... no macro hatch.. zerg... needs a second hatch.. its about two barracks.. so the investmetn of hte protoss in buildings is so muc higher, so the weird no secondary base as zerg is strange... also you cna put up a huge fight and nydus out and expand and tech else where, so when they come to kill kill you, you nydus out and move workers... the protoss loses that initial investment and allows you to better counter the expensive less units of hte protoss... Every two cannons is a hatchery.. every 3 shield battery is a hatchery... the best units against this would imo, be hydralisk with range. because it has a shaper dps which punishes prism microing... as yo ucan bust it down and htey are much cheaper then ravagers, and can then mine freely defend and spike down... of course... often this sort of entrenchment is followed by tempests, so either or a spire is often crucial against protoss proxies since 70% of the time... its a stargate followup.... you will never will without as econdary hatchery, the protoss has to high of production, if yo ucan't get out, then nydusout iwth yoru overlords out there to a corner or macro hatch is needed... you just cna't get enough larva to production and would be starved out as zerg when sieged in by the enemy... but zerg has so many tools.... tha tare cheap... to remove the prob.e.
This guy is making the same mistake that Harstem made when he kept losing to a cannonrush. PULL those drones. Fight the probes so they can’t just freely build 😂
04:00 - I am not sure that Harstem is the ideal guy to tell us how a Zerg should respond to a cannon rush^^
To be fair, I don't think he ever blind countered, and he was up against arguably the best cannon rusher in the world.
@@unrighteous8745 DeepThought is a well respected cannon rusher in the community?
@@andrewadami3920 printf, its one of his latest videos.
@@andrewadami3920 He's talking about harstem vs printf i think
The protoss juggle was decent though tbh
I'm glad this wasn't rank roulette. No way I would have guessed masters.
and no way I would have not guessed Wood IV.
Looking at the cannon rusher, you would have been able to tell it was at least diamond. Low league cannon rushers don't know how to wall off their cannon.
And the juggling was well done.
@@hetaresgaming7771 Agree. Lower league cannon rush also build a ton of cannons. lol
The pickup of the immortals was high tier. He only had 23 workers at 6 minutes tho. It was actually close just because he didn't macro.
Bro meant to send this in for the rank roulette series to trick people into guessing he is silver.
💯
The consistency with which he is attacking the immortal amidst several already damaged batteries is impressive.
Wow, that was a roast and a half, allright
My lawd I was not expecting a SLAUGHTER LOL... but you right, the audacity to send that in.
I haven't seen Harstem this hard going in an IODIS in a while
What 7 games with Printf will do to you ^^'
Funny. Floats close to 1k minerals, cries that a 16% bump in queen cost means he can't build enough of them.
Pretty sure Balder only 12pools vs. Protoss, just to "blind-counter" a possible cannon rush. Maybe he 12pooled up to his 4.4k MMR ...
💯
Nah, a lot of Protoss's from 4k range know how to respond to a 12 pool quite well. You might catch a few here and there, but not as a grinding method.

Roasted AF. I think the cannon rusher is Harstem's alt.
Did anyone else see the thumbnail image and wonder, "Hmmm, what would Harstem look like with a mustache?"? 🤔
hahaha de metaforen die je continu maakt geweldig!
This is "masters 1, almost GM"?
Difficult to believe isn't it
no 4400 is m3
4400 is about 100-300 mmr away from diamond. It’s about 600-900 mmr away from gm
Yeah EU... I think the guy is probably just a 12 pooler, and so when his build didn't do anything for him he got wrecked
lowest GM on EU is 4787
Lowest GM on NA 4611
M3 on NA is ~4280
no idea about EU

No spores are not good vs cannon rush unless they are using voidrays for some reason
The prism pretty much didn't go over the high ground until the game was already over.
Doesn't matter you can still keep the prism a little further back and u don't need it for high ground vision then
Cool, first IODIS of the year!
12:54 Declinced?
I would have thought this zerg is low diamond. I'm 3500 and that zerg is pretty much most of the zergs I go vs.
Lot of times , the diamonds play (same / better) than the 5000 mmr people
@@nopnopnopxd34 no they dont, most of the time they dont even know what they are doing
@@nopnopnopxd34 No, but they often look the same when facing someone of their own level. I can guarantee this Zerg crushes most diamond players if they face in a match.
If hes spending 600 minerals in your natural then he has no wall. Just run across with 10 lings and win no ?
But that would hurt the feelings of the cannon 😢
The protoss already has a forge and pylon at the top of their ramp. If the zerg runs across the map, the protoss will throw down a cannon and full wall with 1 more 3x3 if they need to.
I know it’s just joking but the build order and the control of revenger is clearly at a higher than plat level
So the protoss then have spent 600 minerals at the proxy and have to spend 450 at the ramp. And your ravages will come out much faster then his immortal + warpprism

Harstem loses to a guy he knows will cannon rush him - SIX GAMES IN A ROW.
Harstem in next video goes on to flame a guy losing to a cannon rush.
cool video but why did you put Bob Joshua on the preview?
Alternative blind counter, I'll just point out that the corners didn't get scouted until the 4 minute mark.
Thanks for absolutely roasting this guy and for the good tips! love your content
Canon rush harrassing and cheese is fun af
Not a Zerg expertise, but I think that having an additional hatchery would had help with larva and queens production
Heck yeah, macro hatches ftw!
I won't lie, I took notes from this game for when I offrace with Protoss.
NO joke, my execution of the Toss' cannon rush would be probably worse than the execution of this zerg's 12 pool.
This Zerg WAS high masters and toss is your offrace, so I would think that would be the case for most people.
@@impishlyit9780 fair and respectable point. We're not Serral/Clem/herO
You need to update your balance complaint form to 2025. Happy New Year( of Harstem)!

No fucking way this guy is a master player lolll wtf
I think I would've guessed diamond 3 if this was rank roulette.
zerg moment
is this one of harstem's hidden replays on how to fight against cannon rush?
Why not the lings cross the map?
Toss had a wall already at their main, simply drop a cannon and you've wasted your Zerglings time on the map.
This game ended at the 2 minute mark where his “blind counter” failed. The rest is irrelevant
no there were plenty more opportunities to save it
It would have been irrelevant in a pro game, sure. The toss made plenty of mistakes too though, so there are other things for the Z to improve on.
I feel like the Protoss couild be Masters but that Zerg was definitely a boosted account
Never Expand Never Surrender Allways Cannon, u true cannoneer
Says the guy who sniped PrintF and lost 6 times ❤🎉
He never said he was good, just this guy was bad lol
so all real sc2 player. I have a question for you.
Is spore clawer s change of 33% hp reduction with 25% damage boost a subtotal of nerf or buff?
This is crème de la creme since Harstem just uploaded a video losing to a scripted cannon rush as Zerg 6x in a row for 2 hours. 😆
This video is so ironic considering Harstem just lost to a cannonrusher like 7 times in a row the other day L0L

Proxy Immortal build? What is this :Wings of Liberty?
Jk,it sure is a build that can pull the rug.
Dang, I thought he went hard on me... RIP Balder
13:00 - Does... Does Harstem think every cannon rush player is PrintF?
I love IMBA or DIS, but play more WC3!
last time I played consistently a few rotations ago. I main protoss. I'm gold 1 on NA. I could have defended that cannon rush
5:04 - 5:15 Im stiill trying to understad WTF did the zerg wanted to do
He went “let’s run past so I can get some pressure”
To
“If I snipe that probe I’m golden”
To
“Fuck”
YES!
9:50 Does he think Corrosive Bile does AOE? Those were god awful!!!
after what I saw about the captain's andwer to cannon rush, it feels weird to listen to the advice 😅
Oh, since when is the DECLINCED stamp back?
Bet the player got 4400 MMR only with 12-Pools and was suprised by the cannon rush. Because the macro was really, really bad.
This guy is making the same mistake that Harstem made when he kept losing to a cannonrush. PULL those drones. Fight the probes so they can’t just freely build 😂
If i was the one sending this i would def cry
goud
Bro, if u are all that hard with the guy sending the replay, no one is going to send anymore xD
Bro im done, what are these biles @8:10 💀 he cant possibly be masters
Dudes got one building to macro out of and fails so hard.
Wow, i see platin players response better to this cannon rush then this zerg!
Why not just run across the map
Noone can tell me eu is better than na after watching this...
Looks like just about anybody can get to masters nowadays. 😂
Harstem you're so mean to someone asking for help, you've been treated poorly through your life haven't you?
It's the premise of the show. People submit their games to get roasted.
Way too negative, Harstem.
I mean. ...regarding your last vidéo with printF, you also sucks 😢against canon rush 😅 unfare strategy imo
But Harstem isn't complaining about cannons being imbalanced.
@chloesmith4065 never spoke about complaining, OMG harstem has some personal internet Bodyguard, WTF 😛
To be fair, printf is pretty good at cr and zerg is harstems worse race, he also never said he was perfect against it
PrintF is extremly professional at cannonrushin and yes you can lose many times in a row against him
