For everyone who's confused about casually explained showing up, Harstem coached him for a bit a few years back after casually explained made his starcraft video.
A VERY disproportionate amount of my favorite RUclipsrs since years ago have a history with StarCraft lol. Casually explained theprimeagen and a bunch more. Really weird considering I only got into StarCraft this year
20:45 "That pickup was way cleaner than the game before!" What Harstem missed, is that there was in fact *no* pickup and he lost that fight because he had 15 marines AFK inside medivacs the entire time.
I think it’s hilarious that in the 4th game Harstem is complimenting the Terran on how clean his pick up and drop was, not noticing that there *was no* pick up, because he had an entire Medivac full of Marines just idling during the big fight. He only dropped when he noticed. 🤣
@MattMarshallUK I went for Masters 2, and felt vindicated when Harstem picked the same. Admittedly, I don't play. My strategy primarily involves watching the bank and the APM, and watching for good stutter-step to validate the APM. Second, I factor in any obvious flaws in strategy/tactics (ie: bad builds/dumb move commands). Lastly, I adjust my ranking based on the server (Masters 2 in NA ~ Diamond 2 in EU ~ Platinum 2 in Korea). It works fairly well, usually giving me a single digit end score.
I like it when Harstem helps smaller streamers get exposition. This guy looks cool. Does he have a preset list of images and frantically change them while he speaks? How does that work?
Remember when there was going to be streamed coaching for Casually Explained? I remember. But then Casually Explained couldn't schedule time for it and it never happened. Happy to see him on the channel again :)
What are you on about, probes are quite often destroyed by invisible units like mines, DTs and even lurkers. Just admit that you have a secret admiration for ghost invisibility.
I know I'm late, but I just have to say, I look at Hamster's editing compared to a lot of others and his is top notch. The smooth slides to show real-time standings, the color coordination, good stuff!
The world needs a Harstem + casually explained 2v2 to grandmaster series. You guys are literally the perfect duo. Nothing but pure clean fast paced witty banter.
Speaking as one of "those guys" in diamond, it takes genuine talent to weasel your way into Google with no coding skill and still not get fired this late into 2024.
The most amazing thing about Rank Roulette is that Harstem never actually gets any better, and he´s so good at gaslighting he is able to fool him self .... Every single time ±D
I have to say, this is one of the best videos in this series, I've never laughed so much :p Thanks to all three of you for all of the hard work you've put into this!!
Wait CasuallyExplained and Harstem?? Is this dream? The crossover we didn't know we need but now we do Can we hope that we'll get Casually Explained Starcraft or something? xD
I guessed Diamond 1 for that third game and then Plat 2 for the fourth. The issue with the third and fourth games was the opponents were clearly inferior to the terran. The third game the terran rushed ghosts at like 3:30, no one expects that and is going to win a bunch of games against Protoss who simply aren't expecting it. That alone is going to push him higher. THis was a game it worked. Watch him in a game it doesn't work and he probably is a plat player, but that rush itself is going to get points. The 4th game was the terran taking such a massive lead quickly he looked way ahead. THe problem was he kept getting obliterated during fights until he was so far ahead it didn't matter. Harstem always says rushers are higher than they look because the rush probably works more often than not. Even if that 3rd game player was "really" a plat player, that rush is probably enough to push him a lot higher. That fourth game looked better because the zerg fell behind early and got strangled. Being that far ahead can make anyone look better than they really are.
That protoss player makes me ashamed of my fellow diamond 3 comrades. Bro didn't cancel a single building even when he was cannon rushing until two spine crawlers
As a high-plat player at best, I feel like I have an unfair advantage spotting silvers, golds, and plats. The Diamond 1 threw me; I thought that was Plat 3, maybe plat 1 at best--so I was way off there. The rest of them I was at worst off by 2.
Replays 3 and 4 are so freaking cursed. You could swap the ranks and it'd be more believable haha. Game 3 the guy hugs the nexus while his probes get slaughtered one by one, how the hell is that diamond 1.
Bro, i was legit having a beautiful run with like 2 points but last game i was in the same headspace as harstem and choose masters 2 and had the same reaction when casually explained broke it down. I hated how right he was but i couldnt change my answer.
I feel really bad for casually explained. I feel Harstem will ban him, especially after that smart remark about invisible units while Harstem laughing his ass off having a good time and then gets shutdown with that comment 😂 Also just completely shutting down Harstem's theory about outcast replays 😂
As a guy who peaked in gold, I can confirm that anything up to that point is basically indistinguishable. I dropped from gold to bronze in a day and made it up the next.
Harstem, the D1 terran had his medavic join with his army. Like you know how pros do when they move out before their medavic is complete but they ralley the medavic to army and boost them immediately as they come out of SP. I think it was just a bad timed version of that thing.
me 2: S2=0, P1=2, D3=3, M3=7 TOTAL:12 I angry on that last one. All I kept screaming was, "PLAT 3?! FUcking bullshit! That's a smurf, fucking lying sack of shit!" I was thinking at most I'd be off maybe 2 or 3 placements? But plat? His unit comp was shit, but that micro reminded me of the split commands in some of the older RTS games like Aoe2 and Red alert.
Great content, love the handsome guest and quality banter
I think he could workout a bit. Those arms looked like it was straight from a stickman

@CasuallyExplained I'm in Plat 3 and on that second one, I was 100% with you. For sure it was plat 3.

Harstem already coached him a few years ago, if you didnt know
Back in 2020 him and harstem made some vids

Can relate bro
For everyone who's confused about casually explained showing up, Harstem coached him for a bit a few years back after casually explained made his starcraft video.
Thanks for the context i was surprised
You answered my question before I asked 👌
That's how I discovered Harstem :p
A VERY disproportionate amount of my favorite RUclipsrs since years ago have a history with StarCraft lol.
Casually explained theprimeagen and a bunch more.
Really weird considering I only got into StarCraft this year
And he's also randomly GM. I'm still mentally coming to terms with the fact that casually explained is just way better than me at SC 😂

Two of them. And from what we could see he left the one to die over the creep, even.
I had a total score of two for the first three games. 4th game completely threw me
Same here, it was pretty good until I said D1 at the last one. Just the fact he was close to 200 supply at 10:30 make this odd for me and I play P2
@@hanrockabrand95 Same dude. I guessed Masters 1 for the last one lol. Don't know how I was so wrong.

Casually Explained casually explaining the mind of the player in the last replay is pure gold. I want more!!!
I LOVE how harstem is talking about the good "pickup" while those marines were in the medivac the whole fight. thats the funniest thing i saw today XD
Yes, that's because his pickup was so fast that it even happened way back in time :)
"If you judge a goldfish by its ability to climb you will end up with a depressed goldfish" is an idiom I will definitely use in the future.

Holy moly this is a crossover i did not see coming, but im all for it!
I don't usually watch these but thew myself all over it as soon as I saw Casually Explained. Absolutely loved this crossover.
I like it when Harstem helps smaller streamers get exposition. This guy looks cool. Does he have a preset list of images and frantically change them while he speaks? How does that work?
Jamie drew a couple of images and then Hamster (editorman) put in all the hard work in post-production.

Lol yeah. Harstem got ghosted by casual hahaha.
Your chemistry is amazing!
This was by far the funniest episode yet.
Am I the only one that found it very cathartic to finally see a PROTOSS mineral line being destroyed by invisible ground units?
Justice does exist!
I often see this! When I got destroyed in PvP against DT! 😂
What are you on about, probes are quite often destroyed by invisible units like mines, DTs and even lurkers. Just admit that you have a secret admiration for ghost invisibility.
What game are you playing? Protoss has tons of issues with mines?
Yeah Noone has ever seen mines killing an entire mineral line in 2 seconds at the 5 minute mark😂
Harstems reaction to the statement 'they look like they're having fun which counts for something' was gold. Nobody enjoys laddering lol 5:10
this is most unexpected but greatest crossover i have ever seen
The cut-forward at 10:38 is the purest form of comedy. I wonder how many people don't notice whole joke?
yeah, I was laughing so hard at that
Plz explain
@@macurvello He said "I'm gona go with" and actually revealed his vote too early, so they had to cut it.
Or I'm imagining stuff.
God Casually Explained is so funny. This was your best episode yet.
Yoooo I remember seeing some of your old videos with casually explained (on both channels) love seeing you guys again.

this is the single most op crossover alive
It just occurred to me that Harstem has made a sport out of how well you watch a sport. I love that.
The most amazing thing about Rank Roulette is that Harstem never actually gets any better, and he´s so good at gaslighting he is able to fool him self .... Every single time ±D
The banter on this one was just out of hand... Loved this episode! Hopefully we'll see Jamie again
This is quite possibly the funniest ranked roulette episode ever. Bring him baaaack!
This is so good, love seeing Harstem and casually explained together!
18:09 "If you knock Serral out of my playoffs I am going to be upset" face
I love a lot of the guests we've had but Cas Explained really had some back and forth banter, this ep was hilarious.
I have to say, this is one of the best videos in this series, I've never laughed so much :p Thanks to all three of you for all of the hard work you've put into this!!
Holy that was my best score with 5 over all episodes until now. That was a good one! Keep 'em coming.
Damn, beating Winter is no easy feat!
@@hamster_designs to be fair, I had more tries than our contestants here.
17:30 the gaslighting is epic 😂
More of this pls. Been waiting on Jamie to make another appearance for years now. The two of you work very well together.
I loved the couching between Harstem and Casually Explained! Would also love seeing him play SCII again.
@CasuallyExplained have no fear we do appreciate the skill here on this piece of content!
Damn that was really fun, the back and forth banter was really funny. Thanks for the vid!
This was hilarious and my favorite one so far, thanks guys! Dear god you guys need to have your own youtube channel casting SC2!
My favorite anime character and casually explained.
Always love to watch CasuallyExplained
These two had the best chemistry! If game 4 is worse than game 3, harstem is going to explode!
Wait CasuallyExplained and Harstem?? Is this dream? The crossover we didn't know we need but now we do
Can we hope that we'll get Casually Explained Starcraft or something? xD
CE was so giggly in this haha, I have always thought he was pretty serious and stoic. Funny to seem him be goofy
I wish there would be a full season of CasuallyExplained and Harstem
that was so much fun to watch :D
lmao this episode is SO good again. You two have a good chemistry lmao
This is honestly some of my favorite content
This might be my favorite episode, and I might go watch Casually Explained now. I want him back, this was hilarious. And honestly a respectable score.
No way! Never in my years did I even imagine these 2 to collab
Casually Explained should be re-branded to Casually Gaslighting. 🤣

Did not entirely see this coming, but I did remember he did get some SC2 coaching (maybe from you) a few year(s) ago!
That is correct! Although it has been a while xD ruclips.net/video/FzoEcCD5ibE/видео.html
The crossover I should have expected but somehow didn't, this is amazing!
I thought I was being click baited so hard, but I'm so excited to see Jamie actually here. Now I gotta watch the episode lol.
listening to 4:23 while i was getting food and not seeing the screen made this so much better lol
I love this so much. My life has been on a distinct upper trajectory this past week and this just brings. the. fucking. shit. home.
loved this episode.
loved the art. Hamster did a great job. i don't think Harstem can have such artistic abilities.

i did not expect this but i am already interested
I want to see Harstem vs Hamster rank roulette.
The 14:11 interaction made me guffaw!
God bless this collab what a nice surprise!
This was by far my favourite episode
19:31
Captain: We have nice micro
19:33
Marines walk into the bunch of banes...
If that last guy built something other than marines, he would rank way higher for sure
The no losing replays thing makes me want to play a game just to get trashed but then I’d have to play *and* I’m so bad that I doubt it’d make it
(before watching)
Ok. Now this is the youtuber I did not expect here.
Nice! Nice!
I mean seriously - only Day9 would surprise me more
As a guy who peaked in gold, I can confirm that anything up to that point is basically indistinguishable. I dropped from gold to bronze in a day and made it up the next.

Harstem used to coach him back in the days actually. The playlist of that is still on the channel right here ^^
@@hamster_designs so, cool! Will check it out
I happened to click on my video right when Harstem froze.. It confused the hell out of me. I didnt know if the video was paused or playing
The terran in game 4 was up 100 supply on the zerg and he couldn't win the fights.
this episode was really fun
The first game was like watching a tower defense gameplay
Never have I seen this crossover coming
CE: I feel like if you could study the replay for 30 mins it would be way easier.

Can't believe CE got his rationalization for the last clip right, lmao
