That can absolutely be the correct play as it allows you to give up a base that is being sieged while counter-attacking. Else losing the base can put you even or even behind when there is no need for that.
I like what the last guy was doing with the adepts, using them as a cheap way to keep your gateway units running around the map while he teched up to disruptors and archons
A good one against zerg is a sentry immortal timing push on 2 base with a warp prism. You proxy the robo and go sentry immortal. The reason for it is cutting the army up with sentries so they cant run or engage on you (whichever you prefer) and you reveal sentries early to force roaches then hit em with immortals on the back end. The minerals will mostly go towards your immortals and gas will go towards your sentries. You can constantly produce 1 or 2 robos with 3 gates on 2 base.
I have a 2base, 1 gas zealot all in cheese, at 5 min you have 21 zealot, 7 gates, charge, a prisme in the main base. very good against Z So if you are interested, im here ! (idk if it work on high lvl im diamond)
I think its a known build, you're supposed to hit with an immortal I think and pull off gas. The counter is if the zerg knows its coming they build spines. You then need to focus spines with immortal and maybe dodge spine shots with warp prism lift? Im not too sure.
Man... Trying to base race a Protoss seems difficult these days... You can warp in units inside his main, quickly generate sentries to block a ramp, and once his base is hollowed out you could even just recall to mop up his unreplenishable army.
can confirm, im german and used to do these ^^ a lot haha^^ edit: they are not eyebrows, they are laughing/happy eyes, they go well together with haha^^ or lol^^
The "^ ^" ? I've always used that to symbol agreeing with whatever was said before you. Pointing at the comment above you in agreement. I did that a lot when I played, and I'm not German :)
This last game, can you check the replay, oracle movement ? I think his plays don't make sense to harstem, because he plays reactive. Looks like maphack to me, also it feels like his actions don't match his mmr. Or do i just suck?
i think the eyebrows are supposed to show that you say things in a friendly, upbeat manner. and ":D" or such might be too over the top for the mood youre trying to convey. also waaay easier to type than smileys at least thats how it's started, is my guess. by now, i add it to sentences unconciously ^^
29:07 Def when it comes to balance you don't say what the ppl think and its bc pro protoss players overestimate their ability, and fail to preform at the same time. Its ironic and moronic, quite like how marines and mines can shoot at sky units. So nerf that plz. And buff the skytoss/land death ball against zerg deathball somehow a cheaper comp is stronger in late game pvz makes abs no sense. Sc2 was most balanced in WOL. The extra cost of toss units was justified then and the game had less gimmicky units. And the proplayer results reflected that. Often when I hear you read patch notes any toss buff is followed by a nerf and i hear you say oh that's still playable not understanding that the objective is to balance to parity and not play from a disadvantage and try to makeup the diff. The last few patches have been incognito terran buffs, somehow the cyclone comes on top, and upgrades are cheaper. This is why proplayers shouldn't balance the game bc they're delusional about their own skillset and viewing the results objectively. Like instead of brain dead terrans building a raven with their bio armies the infestor gets nerfed??? Make it make sense. And the reason the game gets balanced this way is bc of hero syndrome most casuals relate to the human terran units and want to be the terran white knights that win against the other 'evil races and save the day,' thus winning the big tournies. So a T vs X is the most desirable outcome in attempts to grow the game.
Oh dear Kevin... ^^ is totally common, no german specific behavior. It only means you are born late... Pls say cringe - then all 30+ guys will turn it the other way round...
I love the "oh hes 2 base all in'ing me, I'll just get a 4th base then"
That can absolutely be the correct play as it allows you to give up a base that is being sieged while counter-attacking. Else losing the base can put you even or even behind when there is no need for that.
also, his army was already stronger than the terrans; not defensively, of course, but the terran couldn’t push out quite yet
Literally 5 bases before 9' while having a big army. What a madlad.
When greediest man alive meets cheesiest man alive!
^^ doesn't represent the eyebrows but the shape of your eyes when you smile. We do it in France too.
Yep, it's just Manga/Anime style eyelids when someone expresses happiness and/or joy.

As a German I feel very called out^^
^^
We’re just happy to see you ^_^
I like how in the last game at 41:24 (15 35 game time) you mine the last of your 2 gas and you decide you just don't need any more past that. Gutsy
First game was closer to a "greediest man alive" instead of "cheesiest" XD
Great video! ^^
the eyebrows emote is a german keyboard thing. its just super convenient to do. Its the key below escape. No modifier key needed
bro that last game was so intense. back and forth, peekaboo around the map, constantly morphing compositions on both sides. fun.
@16:02 I think beastyqt played a series where his alias was “Zerg” and it was a Terran or Protoss challenge.
It's unbelievable how much you look like a classic Kevin. Sick play my man. Low gas is extremely entertaining to me
@harstem 19:30 you literally used to "glgl" all the time you're the first person i remember doing that when i first watched one of your videos in 2020
That's how he knows you don't mean it :D
I believe ^^ are actually the shape of your eyes when smiling. So it's the Japanese version of :)
What you called "flower" formation, I've also heard it often referred to as "pinwheel", usually in age of empires with mill + farms
^^ the germans send their regards ^^
no one else looks out for the 5-6kish bar codes like you, captain. Truly legacy building
^^ is not eyebrows going up but eyes of a smiling person
has is unbeatable in the cheese category
I don t know. SoS has pulled some insane cheeses, and lets not forget about Florencio and Printf
Gutes Video! ^^

If I could choose to have a beer with any two people, they would be Harstem and his clone. Thanks Captain.
greetings from germany ^^

@Captain the emotes ^^, ^-^, and ^_^ all are just like very big smiles with closed eyes
I've seen herO doing this kind of double gold into mass chargelot style as well.
Edit: (^^,)
^^ comes from Anime, lots of germans watch them apparently

I have to agree, ^^ is the best, Harstems unconditional love is completely justified.
OMFG... Hahaha! Good Luck Harstem on your matchup against Reynor 😂
Next time I play, I will open up with "eyebrows". Thank you for teaching me, Harstem!
could have a 10min compilation of harstem writing glgl at beginning of match.
Life is a series of moments that either feel nice and feel not so nice
Harstem with a German accent never fails to make me nearly shit myself laughing.
"I have a bit too much gas in my mind." Clearly.
the amount of adept runbys was hilarious
Should one G be considered a 1/2?
WhiteRa is watching this and grinning from ear to ear :P
Special tactics lives on!
can confirm, im german and used to do these ^^ a lot haha^^
edit: they are not eyebrows, they are laughing/happy eyes, they go well together with haha^^ or lol^^
i know harstem said he was going to go low gas... but i didnt expect him to play half the game with no gas at all XD
The important thing to have in any melee rush is as much surface area onto the enemy.
I just tried the flower proxy, and 20 lings a-moved straight to it unscouted - it is what it is
33:40 Omg "Kevin de Koning" Face palm its " you think you're cooler then me" BY "Mike Posner" but you should never give up on a remix one day ¿
The german acceent had me literally cackling
"61 workers, yet it feels like we are rich"
You do get a lot of minerals when you havent been mining gas for 3 minutes straight.
When harstem say I don’t even know if it’s possible, then it will be good
Hairsteim is all hopped up on the goofballs in dis vid
What happened to the family and the other creatures of the sea?
With Has in the title, I've liked the video before starting :))))))
I love this red shirt you're rocking, cap
I'm claiming responsibility for the skeleton incident.
I think young yakov does glgl, but couldn’t find where I saw it
Harstem is blowing my mind right now

Harstem : "These people have no shame."
Was the GG analysis done?
Welcome to a new episode of the greediest man alive
"what if I just had too many zealots for him to kill?"
Nice video ^^
Stellar games! Much entertain good Ser!
This last game, can you check the replay, oracle movement ?
I think his plays don't make sense to harstem, because he plays reactive. Looks like maphack to me, also it feels like his actions don't match his mmr.
Or do i just suck?
These are actully the eyes of a cute emoji ^_^
great games ^^
ahhh. the classic pickle eye joe once again…😅
GGs!
...but this emoji is sooo efficient! ^^ 😂😂😂
How in heck did he stay on 2gas for the entire last game there. I need to rethink my life.
I expected more Zealots.
I feel personally attacked by this video ^^
Gold was precious even in Bronze age.
I miss has, the only bronze leaguer to make it into wcs
Thanks for playing protoss! This is my favorite series when not zerg or terran.
MY LIFE FOR AIUR!!!!
i think the eyebrows are supposed to show that you say things in a friendly, upbeat manner. and ":D" or such might be too over the top for the mood youre trying to convey.
also waaay easier to type than smileys
at least thats how it's started, is my guess. by now, i add it to sentences unconciously ^^
because they love anime ^^
Not wrong. Mitsubachi Māya no Bōken, Chiisana Viking Bikke, Arupusu no Shōjo Haiji, etc. Being an Anime Lover is German heritage since the 70's
Has CHEESE-A-LOT!
^^ are the eyes not the eyebrows, also nothing to do with being German. Its you who is backwards here captain.
Hey, I am Polish ^^
win a game building at least one of each unit
i approve of this message
ah man I am a hfhf guy
