Harstem, you didn't even mention the most egregious lie in his complaint form. He said he was up in bases throughout the match. Not ONCE in the entire game was he up in bases.
His replay actually proves Terran imba, because it shows possible to reach Platinum league with no micro and no knowledge about your own and your enemy's units.
this jus shows terran are good in low tiers. mid tiers starts to get harder. and highest tiers is not that good they get punished super bad, cause a zerg can destroy them and protoss too, if they are using all the arsenal.
Hamster was cheeky with that caps roast on Harstem, but you see Harstem had qualified his statement in a way that excluded RUclips titles from the rules of proper capitalization, so it was in fact you Hamster who the buffoon in this battle of the minds. *adjusts glasses like a nerd*
10:32 I really love how that changeling wasnt spotted for it's entire life duration...and then banelings wipe out everything on the ground and just the changeling remains...So Diabolous will see it with his medivacs flying above, realise a 'marine' is allowed to live...so he has been spied on by changeling! XD
Disappointed we didn't get a units lost breakdown at 16:02. That would have been something special. Guy just move-commands his army as far into a corner as possible, not even shooting
Diabolous, a little tip about dealing with Baneling at lower league: you can press control and click a marine in the middle of your bio to select all your marine, and only your marine. You can then put them behind the maraudeur. If the zerg is just A moving his Baneling, they will blow on the maraudeur, which is always going to equal okay/good trade, especially since you have protected the dps of your army and can finish off the remaining Baneling. Also, it is better to siege up the tank too often, as soon as you see a zerlging for exemple, than not enough, even if it means you are going slower. The way you lost all your tanks for free at the zerg bottom right base should be proof enough.
It's more consistent to control click the control card, where it's ordered by type. No lower league player has that kind of mouse click precision. Leap frogging tanks is also kind of high level. Honestly, if he had that 9000 resources in just unsieged tanks, it would still be enough lol. Harstem just has an unnatural focus on micro
@@benjaminchen8857 I'm not even talking about leap frogging, just siège em all like your life is defending on it! Leap frogging is the next step but it can happen when he reaches low diamond. I personally preferred the clicking a unit method but I think it's down to user preferences 😂
@@benjaminchen8857 I'm having a hard time seeing leap frogging being high level. It's not splitting marines away from speed banes. It's literally easier than all of the casting units in the game. You have to know the max range of your spells to effectively cast area spells correctly. You literally only have to know front from back, so you go the correct direction. Edit: I forgot to address calling middle clicking a marine high level. Bro. You can't make silver on any race but protoss without having the hand eye to click any marine in a group of them...
I find Hamster's corrections and in-depth analysis to be the best part of IODIS. No offense to Harstem, but every caster is there to tell me what the players are doing good or bad in real-time. Hamster's input is pretty unique.
Just pointing out here that Larva - a Broodwar pro was able to beat his opponent with while playing with his feet in an official match. Harstem is underestimating legs massively.
I mean, he did it at the end of a match he'd basically won just to give the viewers something to laugh about. Pretending to sleep at the start of the next match was the bigger troll :D
At first, I thought Diabolous was doing something like ViBE's B2GM series where he doesn't micro until diamond league, but this macro wasn't it either so idk what to think anymore
@@DeltaAccel It looked like Brood War Terran, where you have to research siege mode. Did he ever actually siege the tanks? Or put the tanks in a proper siege position? Or clear the creep to make sieging the tanks a good idea? No! Instead of scan/shoot, he scanned/move.
In the mid game he had negative micro that cost him an easy win. I guess he learned from that and just gave up trying to control his units at all. If he just a moves with his first army he wins.
90 seconds into this IODIS and I already nearly choked on my food because of the awesome editing. Lul Edit: Damn Hamster. 3:14 again. Can't eat while watching such videos xD
Yo Harstem! For your next "beating grand masters with stupid stuff" you should play the no warp gate challenge. You are not allowed to research the warp gate tech and must use gateway for everything plus your army must consist mainly of gateway units
13:15. "He has an orbital on the fourth as well. This is the type of move the Switzerland would pull as another war is about to ensue." Actually basis of their neutrality policy is conscription, strong army, shitton of military fortifications and all important roads and bridges already having explosive charges in them to not let the enemy take them. Oh and also pre-ordering their army to never follow order of surrender even by their own government if the enemy occupies their country and to keep on fighting and becoming guerillas. And also teaching soldiers guerilla warfare just in that case. So the Swiss would make all their CCs planetary fortresses and put extra turrets and bunkers around just so that no one dares to attack them.
27:30 --> I think that must be the Terran Entitlement that they should always win. I had a game yesterday, where i had 10k army value, and terran had litterly 0. He told me he thought he could still win, because i "had no economy".
@@Rooachie To be fair, at least these days the german system is anything but efficient, the bureaucracy is so convoluted, it can take you 3 days to get your change for a teain ticket, literally.
@@thrax1831 ...wat? Talk about a weird example. Train tickets are generally bought from vending machines that hand out change on the spot, and that's when you don't buy it cashless.
@@magni5648 Im talking about when you buy from a conductor in the train, he isn't authorised to give you your change, so he gives you a special slip that you can use to pick up the change at a specified booth, that works like 8 h oer day only on week days
20:00 He's got a massive bank and is being attacked but his priority is getting economy while he can't produce enough units as it is or even when he wasn't being attacked. 😂
Lifeofadam had an average 11 or 12 workers per base over the course of that game. He could've crushed that game a lot faster if he would just make workers. It's honestly amazing it took him as long to win as it did considering how Diabolous threw away his units time and time again.
19:45 best part of the video - Zerg is just crushing, been on 50 drones for 13 minutes, and decides now is the perfect time for 18 drones. I love it. He knows Zerg is imba so he waits 10 extra minutes to saturate his bases
it's so painful when anyone can see that literally all he needed to do after that first big attack took out two bases, was pre split and then creep his tank forwards and poke with a few units to compromise the route out of the natural, thus forcing the zerg to engage with an inferior army into the pre split. I mean with some actual micro he could have just pushed in and won outright, but a pre split and slow poke was the non-mechanical way to do it and would still have basically guaranteed a win.
What you said was literally just to much to do for 36 marines vs 35 banes all he had to do was f2 stim a move and split his army into at minimum 3 groups and he would have won the fight with legit 10 apm.
2:52 mark is the the perfect example of what to expect throughout this game. SCV scout to see a late Hatch and then doesn't use that same SCV to check if Zerg is mining gas.
I'm watching entire playlist of IODIS and I got this 25:54 after the story of the first feet-player in sc2. OMG, I can stop laughing. My stomach hurts, there is an unstopable flow of tears from my eyes, but I'm keep laughing xD
Next time my wife smells tuna on my breath after I get back from the strip club, I'll tell her it's because of their mean tuna sandwiches. Thanks, Cap'n.
nice episode but the real mvp today was hamster, i would love to see a new series with him making, i dont know, funny stuff, calling it "boss not at here - the hamster hour" ^^
13:38 Swiss (swiss german speaking) accent in english is actually quite different from a german accent. People imitating german accents typically pronounce the "th" as "s", but I have never heard a swiss doing that (instead it might be a "d" or "t").

I listen to the whole video every time... just because I get a good smile when he says "You suck" at the end :\ Someone should just make a compilation it'd save me hours...
The thing that surprised me the most about this one, is that the dude still didn't find the changelings when the damn things were just standing there as he was getting attacked, then stood next to his refinery and command center for their entire duration! I mean, when the changeling just walked around the front of his army he was literally controlling to get to the unit it was following, he didn't even notice then, but ffs!
@@chrisliu7334 switch to tower defense you mean. i don't think this dude can handle protoss macro since you have to click every single unit that's warping in and not just queing shit up.
@@pv2639 true, I played exactly the same like this terren player which I have no micro on my units and focusing entirely on macro, sometimes I out mine a base or two and I still loss lol.
i think this episode would had been a good opportunity to call in a very special amateur golf enthusiast to comment on the "like i was playing against Serral" part !
It gets even worse. 3:47 the bottom left SCV walks into the wall and stays there for a minute, before it finally get's lead to salvation by some zerglings.
I mean, swimming with your feet is an actual thing. In my language, it's called back swimming or backwards swimming because you are swimming face up, some use their hands aswell but you can swim with only your feet
I know in Vibes bronze to GM he says to ignore your army in fights and ignore your harass too because it’s better to macro then to over micro but this is something else
Gotta love Harstems rants... "Omg you got 9k ressources?! ... I got so upset at everything you did, i completely missed the fact that you haven't build a unit in the past 5 minutes." 😂
Today I found out that Hamster is a terran player which throws all my prejudice against terrans out of the window. How can I now say that all terrans are whining people who can't take a joke? Love to see the the side-roast of Harstem. Another great video Hamster, love it.
Actualy I don't think was some of the worst micro. We've seen plenty of negative micro in this series. This game, however, was just a true absence of micro. Not positive micro, not negative micro. Just zero micro. The confusing thing is that this time, cap's common refrain "what are you even doing?" was really the big one. If the army is just left to stand its ground hoping to survive, then surely the focus is on macro. But if the army is just standing its ground while there are 6000 resources being floated... huh?
The main fight at 16:00 was negative micro. He move-commanded backwards, so that half his army died without even firing a single shot, while also clumping up as much as humanly possible. On the whole you're right though, almost the entire rest of the game had a complete lack of micro.
There were 69 comments and now there isn’t. Very sad. But I’d like to see Harstem submit his own IMBA report now that he’s been climbing with the other races.
Notice how he remembers the top 5 idiots, and he remembers Lowko's IODIS submissions.

I feel like playing starcraft 2 again just so I can send in a replay.
Just make sure to over exaggerate your skills when you do. :D
Do like 3 shitty drop against toss then complain about Toss Warpgate imba doesn't need troops in place to defend drops
I know right. I was going to say for the first time for me but I did actually play some.
Men u steal my idea ! Hahaha dont forget to spend more time on the letter to complain instead of watching what u do in game xD
make mass adepts and then complain about how battlecruisers and siege tanks are overpowered
Harstem, you didn't even mention the most egregious lie in his complaint form. He said he was up in bases throughout the match. Not ONCE in the entire game was he up in bases.
Oh, no, you have to count all of his bases twice. Thats why he has them so oversaturated, because there's actually twice the minerals there.
What he meant was down in his basement. Close nuff.
His replay actually proves Terran imba, because it shows possible to reach Platinum league with no micro and no knowledge about your own and your enemy's units.
You kinda got a point there.
