"Just because something exists, doesn't mean it should stay like that forever. Take for instance Belgium. Belgium has been around for quite a while. Most countries even recognized it as a country. BUT does it have any inherence value? I'm not so sure." - Harstem, a positive person. I'm so dead 🤣
Notice how he tried to kill the Nydus worm with nothing but SCVs in the beginning? Would be a terrible shame if all that was in there were... 2 banelings...
baneling nest and 2 banes would delay nydus by 100 gas, defeating the point of fastest nydus challenge edit: you're also investing 150 minerals, plus a mining drone... :\ so you're slowing down your 2nd queen, delaying zergling speed, and not for much value. Two banes could only kill maybe 4 SCVs surrounding the nydus which the queens and lings can do just as easily. Better to get 2 queens on time with ling speed to outmicro hellions and reapers.
The zerglings started running across the map because you were still hotkeying eggs into your main army. So when you issued a command after the zerglings came out of the nydus, all the zerglings and eggs that were hotkeyed were told to run across the map lol. I used to do this, and now i just rally the eggs into the nydus and not hotkey them.
I do a similar that opens hatch first against toss, and you pull 3 of the 6 drones off gas (Only need 3 on gas to sustain additional nydus). It hits a tiny bit later, but it looks more like a standard build and you can have 3 queens pop from the first nydus. 13 Overlord 16 Hatch 16 Extractor 17 Pool 20 Overlord 20 Lair1414 20 Extractor 19 Queen 21 2x Zerglings 22 2x Zerglings -Drone up to 24 28 Metabolic Boost -Mass Lings/Queens 34 Nydus Network (Around 3:04) - Pull 3 drones off gas. Keep building queens and lings. Inject and go into nydus.
The "take, for example, Belgium [...]" joke was the funniest thing I heard in the last two-three days (and I've been watching other StarCraft RUclipsrs constantly in the background).
Games like this really show you whats so scary about a really good zerg player. Turning that economy into a 5 base hive tech economy that fast while still applying massive pressure constantly. Insane to watch. Inspiring.
Marv, when Marv kept getting hit by bricks and Harry was still encouraging The Kid to throw them. I pissed my pants laughing at that scene. Just say no to throwing bricks, kids!
27:31 the general argument for why booby trapping your home is illegal is because it cannot tell the difference between a criminal making an illegal entry and law enforcement making legal entry.
I don't know but something always makes me smile watching Hastem. I guess it's his positivity and laugh. World needs more Hastem's everywhere.... Thanks for your content!
Also, Roach/queen Nydus early has worked better for me on ladder than ling/queen nydus just do queen first as soon as pool is done for inject. depending how quick you do it, you can also squeeze in a started plus 1 range dmg in a evo chamber.
21:30 "If he loses he will be thinking about this Nydus build for the whole day." said the man thinking about the Nydus cheese that happened this morning.
I got a zvz build that i came up with 2 years ago... 1 base do the extractor trick at 14 with 150 minerals to get 15 and 16 drones. Cancel extractors. Build overlord then pool by your gas. 2 more drones. Double extractor and fill asap. Get queen asap and at least 1 spine preferably 2. No lings until after you get 5 hydras. Spread creep immediately towards ramp. Evo block the ramp with 2 evos and move a spine to the hole in middle. As spon as queen hatches build lair. If enemy is bane busting more spine back and replace with evo. As soon as lair finishes build hydra den and then lurker building. Build 5 hydras. Once lurker den is done morph 3 lurkers. Make sure to build nydus asap before lurker den hatches. Then nydus their main if you can or between 3rd and natural. Enjoy 75% win zvz. 😎😎😎 Before nydus is done have at least 2 extra drones and load them in nydus right after a few lings. Then lurkers. Once you get a nydus in their base unload. Prioritize building spores with drones and spread lurkers out. Attack drones, pool, roach den or their ramp. If you cant get a nydus up you expand and tech to hive. You will need vipers because they almost always go mutas... or mass roach ravenger. Its such a fun build and you skip the annoying ling bane wars. Hahaha
I like Harstem, and I like cheese. I expect I’ll like these videos a lot. But I gotta say that I did have a moment of disappointment when I realized this was not, in fact, a video about Has. There is a truly high bar to be reached, but I have faith in you, Harstem!
So.. NoRegret had a mean arse nydus rush a few years ago, I think he qualified for GSL Rd32 with it if I remember correctly. You open the same as you but you stop making drones at 19, and your natural is essentially a fake that never gets workers and is only made for lings. You hit when you have 2 dropper lords and 32 lings all up. 8 in each dropper lord, one hitting the main and one hitting the far side of the natural, the other 16 hit the front wall and then immediately sprint back to your nydus in your main and why this is happening you spawn the nydus at whichever of the the two dropper lords is less defended. It was really strong and I almost never lost, I only stopped playing it cause I'm not really a cheesy player and it felt like it was just giving me a fake higher mmr then my skill was really at.
I rather stick with a bad plan than have no plan at all - Quote by Harstem A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week. - Quote by George S. Patton You kind of have the same train of thought as George S. Patton.
Game 1 was such a massive disappointment, you HAD IT. The times when you have one of these silly ideas that just immediately pops off in the first game is so satisfying. I was totally OK with it having not worked out immediately until you pointed out how many lings were behind! (Yeah, I clearly have no handle on the economy of this game.)
"This is the proper response, by the way. This is actually what you're supposed to do behind this....I think. I don't know, I'm just making it up right now" Yup
nydus worms is one of the worst designs, it would take like 50 minutes for the coders to make pathfinding use nydus entries as part off the calc and auto use them as pathways, making zerg mobility truly awesome and making creep much more worth, allowing for P to not be so weak (yes i said it, thefk is up with protoss the strongest, most advanced, most badass race ever getting demolished fighting same or lower numbers off enemy from Zerg late game.. thats just absurd, collossus 14 range, double shield hp, 50% increased dmg or something like that... seriously protoss high tech units should be monstrous to fight; not something you viper pull into instant death, its so dumb... ... also who the hell thought air units should stack? air units use up space same as ground units; you can't stack 30 vikings on top off each other at max range and expect the top to hit where to bottom can... it also utterly breaks the balance between units... sry, rambling bc it bugs me how bad blizzard have been at managing the setup and balance off sc2.... also biomass is what zerg need, they are basically a copy version off tyranids which honestly is cool as fk, so why are they gathering minerals, why is there no mechanics for them getting resources out of killing on creep or dragging dead bodies, animals, trees etc. back to the base, using maybe nydus for safer resource gathering but needing a much wider area for drones to split out to gether from natural spawning biomass resources... dreamed off the sc2 that should have been, or the sc3 that surely will never be :P
Wondering if your bane detonation on your drones at 30:14 was intentional :P Also, I wonder if vs zerg it would be better to rush nydus and then fill it with banes instead of lings. Sneaking a bunch of banes into their mineral line seems pretty decent. Or at least as one other comment said, put a bane or two in first so you can immediately detonate them on whatever is trying to defend the nydus (esp if they worker pull to defend)
my dude. if you've invested 99% of your economy into a giant muta flock... and the literal only way you could lose is to accidentally flying into widow mines, consider spending 100 minerals and 100 gas on overlord speed rather than building 1 more muta
I love how the closer you get to game 200 it's turning out to be a situation something like "will the cheesiest man alive barely finish with a passing grade or not?" 59% and get an F? Just above 60% and get the passing D-?
I'm like a 900mmr. So you probably should pay me no attention.. That said, I used to do this build like 10 years ago. The trick, imo, is to just keep chucking more and more into the nydus. I also like immediately going into banelings and keep sending them in. It becomes an attrition match at that point. The point is not let your opponent recover from the 1st hit.
The fact that you immediately go into banelings means that you did not play this build. Nor was this even possible 10 years ago because you started with 6 and not 12 worker.
@@mothrahlurker788 yea, it's called you build more workers.. It's a nydus rush. Not really a difference between a nydus rush now and then, perhaps it came like a minute later.. but the principles was the same.
Yes it does, that means every created drone will automatically go to the minerals. That's what you need to do for two reasons. First it allows you to saturate your bases efficiently, allowing you to get 16 on mins exactly before starting to rally to a new base, secondly it means drones don't transfer between bases in the earlygame, this is extremely important against adepts and oracles. If you look at any high level game they basically never individually rally worker outside of into gasses in the earlygame or later to not have to think about it.
9:00 - It looked like you're wasting a lot of time sharking around the front of his base with those mutas. Make a run around the back to draw units off the front and keep them out of position.
if by chance you see this Harstem, can you tell me your EXACT in-game graphical settings so that you can still see burrowed and invisible unit blurs? cuz i prefer the low-grade graphics over the ultra even though i can run it at max graphics and still pull highest fps allowed.
I literally main that build in team games ...I receive a lifetime of salt in return 😂 3min 40sec with swarm host. Need team mate to early defend reap preferably. If it ever loses people are so salty and go on about why I would even try it because it won't work.. then usually beat them in a rematch 😅 (Master 2v2).
"Just because something exists, doesn't mean it should stay like that forever.

I’d break a keyboard and then retire.

Wie geht's, товарищ? Cheers et au revoir! No that hard, see.
“I don’t think my opponent realizes how far ahead I am” … loses 10 mutas to mines lol. It happens to everyone

Wait...Home Alone wasn't a documentary?
You need to pull a baneling Nydus, preferably behind their mineral lines
I was entertained. Thank you to Jethro and yourself.
I think in ZvZ you should switch it to a roach nydus all in. Roaches main weakness is their slow moving across the map.
Kevin, the cops in Home Alone were literally the bad guys aka the robbers 😂
Some nice surprises in this episode for all those bedtime watchers out there

Captain I love your content. Keep up with the good work.
As a Zerg player it was hilarious, the strategy was bound to fail in ZvZ, the fastest Nydus play is Roaches and Queens and maybe some lings.

10:58 Harstem learns from his mistakes.
Does rallying to minerals with the hive (hatchery?) actually do anything?I thought you had to rally the eggs themselves.
Yes it does, that means every created drone will automatically go to the minerals. That's what you need to do for two reasons. First it allows you to saturate your bases efficiently, allowing you to get 16 on mins exactly before starting to rally to a new base, secondly it means drones don't transfer between bases in the earlygame, this is extremely important against adepts and oracles. If you look at any high level game they basically never individually rally worker outside of into gasses in the earlygame or later to not have to think about it.
9:00 - It looked like you're wasting a lot of time sharking around the front of his base with those mutas. Make a run around the back to draw units off the front and keep them out of position.
I dunno if this is noob advice but couldnt you send a drone across the map under an overlord pooping creep to proxy the nydus to avoid scouting?
if by chance you see this Harstem, can you tell me your EXACT in-game graphical settings so that you can still see burrowed and invisible unit blurs?
cuz i prefer the low-grade graphics over the ultra even though i can run it at max graphics and still pull highest fps allowed.
i hope you see this or someone else who knows and is kind enough to tell me
i'd greatly appreciate it..
No overlord speed 😅😅
How about a few roaches mix in the modus rush?
Maybe you should send 8-10 drones with this nydus push aswell? They are as strong as lings that early in the game.
They are not, not even close, they have way less dps due to their lower attackspeed and lower movementspeed.
I think you should try it with a baneling nest against zerg. Delay speed and get the nest instead
you know how to read cyrillic?
What resolution are you using? The resolution looks terrible.
I literally main that build in team games ...I receive a lifetime of salt in return 😂
