Hey guys. Ive watched every Harstem’s videos since the original Pretending to be AFK and this channel has been the most important community to me. Well, I have the biggest interview in my life in 3 hours. This will determine if I become a doctor. Just wanted to share this, and I hope everyone has a killer day
The Captain's existential crisis during cheesiest man alive is what keeps me coming back. There's nothing like watching a guy begin to question his purpose and meaning in life while attempting a cannon rush or trying to figure out why the opponent is playing nonstandard.
It pains me sometimes to watch it. I feel that if Harstem looses, it is very often because he becomes either very scared and thinks he is behind and then does not use his army for far too long time, or he becomes crazy optimistic about how much he is ahead. In all cases his emotions seem to be his worst enemy.
I love these. Since i stopped playing myself i dont enjoy watching the super high level play as much. No longer remember all the players and the pro meta. These are just pure sc2 fun. High level but no drama or technical plays that are over my head
In the third game, you did not give a GLHF. This actually gives your opponent a clue. If you're in too much of a rush to give a greeting, then you're going to do a cannon rush.
When someone doesn't say gl hf I immediately scout for cheese, it means they are busy, potentially tilted or an asshole so cheese is like 3x as likely lol. It's funny seeing those people shocked when I find out when they've clued me in themselves
WAKE UP cannonrush and put a little makeup cannonrush to fade away the shakeup cannonrush the keys up on the table cannonrush creates another fable (you wanted to)
I've never seen a cannon rush start so good then get thrown so bad lol. It happens though from personal experience. The cannon rush goes "too good" and your brain shuts off since youve "already won"
There has to be a math to this, im not good at math or at starcraft but pylons take X time how many workers does he have to pull to get through a pylon screen and a cannon before both are active, and will it be able to fire enough to redeem its worth. Thats the math you need to have from my perspective. Also alternatively if you can build and cancel a certain amount of cannons/pylons before gateway/marines/zerglings/queens comes out can you meanwhile net a higher mining count than the enemy and then just always do that to always get a headstart into a standard game? If so i think you can change the meta on some maps to just always do that and enemy has to respond or die while at the same time get behind on mining.
is there a reason you dont build a shield battery while you cannon rush? seems like that could seal the deal if its in the back? Again, im a noob though
interesting insight that immortal/voids is good at 170 supply, for me I feel differently, if I take any amount of harass in the early game this is my obligatory all in composition and I spend no time waiting to attack my opponents
The older I get the more I realize that real life is exactly like high school. All the b******* that existed in high school is just more extreme as an adult.
Worse than high school. People in some workplaces act like inmates from jail. or toddlers. The gossiping, envy, the backstabbing, the childish behaviors... So glad you have your own business and don't have to deal with any of that.
I'm 29:00 and i think you had the win. I'm predicting now that you lose since you're not keeping the pressure on. Lol i hope I'm wrong but i have watched too much Harstem and i notice when you out think yourself. Edit: lol i knew it. And you say you shouldn't have been on the map but you should've been. You had to know after showing void rays he was going to make something for it. You gave him like 5 minutes free to do it
XYlove could be a chinese player, since the chinese server shut down all the high level players from there have had to move to other servers, whilst EU would certainly be less popular than NA or KR, you could expect a couple people to try it out a bit I think.
Ok this has been bothering me for a while. How does he know at a glance how many workers he has? At 11:50 he said "I have 76 workers already". Where is that info?
Why clickbait with a failed canon rushes? Please start watching PrintF and learn how to. (ps spending over 500 minerals to kill a 400 mineral nexus puts you behind, and you spent like way more).
i laught because in recomended i see these videos of chessiest man alive, im always busy so i dont click on them . i thought like a casting about byun or raynor idk. but you meant yourself xdd

Good luck @Jeawon kim
Hope your interview goes well
GLHF
GL and we support you if you decide to become a sc2 pro instead
It’s easier to become a doctor lol (but seriously)
Fellow SC and Harstem fan. Managed to continue playing SC2 throughout medical school.. far less often during residency. Good luck!
Cannon rushes then says “I just wanted a standard game”
Well I mean it is PvP... Building in the other player's base is a standard game :P

The moment Cpt said his comp will be unbeatable, I knew the ending of that story :P
Haha, I'm German and I laughed very badly as you sad "Schadenfreude" 😂 you're the best
Massing units and not knowing what's going on seems like a normal StarCraft game to me
That story with DiMaga was so sweet. Be kind to each other fellas!
Dimaga
Lol. Man you know The Beatles's "Help"! Not bad for cannon rusher, bro! xD

Harstem usually does it before the game starts.
@@gmurph623 Yeah, if you play a custom game but it's ladder so how?

WAKE UP
cannonrush and put a little makeup
cannonrush to fade away the shakeup
cannonrush the keys up on the table

3:14 Maxpax: they like cheesevideos?
H: they love cheesevideos. and it's fun and easy to make. nothing better than cannonrushing some poor fool.
My favorite thing about you cannon rushing is to imagine Printf's reaction while watching this disaster :D
There has to be a math to this, im not good at math or at starcraft but pylons take X time how many workers does he have to pull to get through a pylon screen and a cannon before both are active, and will it be able to fire enough to redeem its worth.

More cannon rushes from Harstem is always a good day
is there a reason you dont build a shield battery while you cannon rush? seems like that could seal the deal if its in the back? Again, im a noob though
You're a content MACHINE!
Dude, wtf, how did u tilt so much in the first 2 minutes, u had it on the bag xD
interesting insight that immortal/voids is good at 170 supply, for me I feel differently, if I take any amount of harass in the early game this is my obligatory all in composition and I spend no time waiting to attack my opponents
I like seeing how Maxpax wishes him a good day.
That highschool rant was too real tho
If you are regularly struck by old friends, I understand why you are confused in regular life. Real friends won't abuse you.
Your follow-up’s should be cheesier… after a someone successful initial attack, you should go for carrier or tempest rush..
Honestly watching you do a cannon rush with German accent is s tier
Watched lowko casting her0s phoenix cannon rush against maxpax earlier today. Harstems first game is kinda a twisted version of this
Mass phoenixes melting to a greater mass phoenixes is a sight to see.
The older I get the more I realize that real life is exactly like high school. All the b******* that existed in high school is just more extreme as an adult.
I think like SC2DAY is due to one more episode. I would love to hear what you have to say about what happened in Katowice.
You are the Ben Finegold of Starcraft 2. I'm sure you've heard that a million times before
Schadenfreude is my favorite German word. Maginot line is my favorite French.
I thought that last cannon rush would result in a win!
No offense, but the first part (5 mins) of the first game reminded me a lot of the Brone League Heroes games from Winter :D
I like waking up and cannon rushing
So apparently, us creatures of the sea aren't welcome on this video?
This is not HarstemCasts
He opens (almost) every Cast with that but (sadly) on his main channel, he never greets the creatures of the sea.
Worse than high school. People in some workplaces act like inmates from jail. or toddlers. The gossiping, envy, the backstabbing, the childish behaviors... So glad you have your own business and don't have to deal with any of that.
that first game was excellent
There's 2 phoenix wars. In one of them he made phoenixes.
For the cheesiet man alive Harstem knows nothing about cheese.
Confucius would be happy about this game
Finally!! My favorite Harstem episode! 😃
Mass phoenix against mass phoenix is beautiful to see
28:14 🤣👌🏼
"what could go wrong?"
working in congress is basically high-school
I'm 29:00 and i think you had the win. I'm predicting now that you lose since you're not keeping the pressure on. Lol i hope I'm wrong but i have watched too much Harstem and i notice when you out think yourself.

*Schadenfreude* Grrrreat conversation peice there!
"this is the suicide of a lifetime" he says
thermy cheese would be on game 7 by now :D
really sad not having an iodis for a while
Would love to hear harstems views on TIME.
I work at a highschool and it's just like highschool
Give us your thoughts on IEM Harstem!
Love your videos!
If ± was a game of SCII:
XYlove could be a chinese player, since the chinese server shut down all the high level players from there have had to move to other servers, whilst EU would certainly be less popular than NA or KR, you could expect a couple people to try it out a bit I think.
Gess you were right, I saw him in bilibili
Second game, should have stuck it out- while they defeated your rush, they also had not mined in about a solid minute...
The AI generated thumbnails look uncanny.
Are they really?
@@HappytreeLuis That is not an actual human face.
@@ludisnemo887 Lmao it's literally easier for him to make a goofy face for a thumbnail than AI generate one. Clown
@@nR00R *WHOOOOSH*
@@ludisnemo887 Oh it was just a dogshit quality joke, /Whoosh indeed. Sorry, I have a hard time picking up jokes that stupid.
Can't lose Pylons if you have no Pylons.
TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hello i am a creature of the sea and i feel very unwelcome why was i not welcomed harstem
oh good. It looks like you're streaming in a higher definition now. I'm glad that you stopped gambling.
hahahah cannon rush into moronic phoenix fights. This should be the title of the video.
lol thumbnail
YOSH
the first game was really the worst cannon rush combined with the worst defense in SC2 history.
Ok this has been bothering me for a while. How does he know at a glance how many workers he has? At 11:50 he said "I have 76 workers already". Where is that info?
If you hover your cursor over the unit counter in the top right it'll show you a tooltip with worker count.
@@corey.shuman No shit... !! Amazing. Thanks my dude.
Not very high MMR... 5.5 -LOL, Ha! I only wish...
lol! A cannonrusher is never the protagonist.
First
4th
