I don't think anything summarizes this series better than it being decided by a fight between 2 immortals + a stalker + 2 archons vs ~12 zerglings + 11 drones
Feels like psi Storm should be able to be cast on a lurker before you die. Maybe increasing the range is too much of a buff but...I think it would make more sense.
Love seeing more matches of the captain. While not as fast as the other players in terms of APM, he is very technical and patient. I heard someone (artosis, but not sure) say that starcraft is more of an action game, rather than a strategy game... Well, Harstem puts the strategy back into starcraft with his scouting and decision making regarding compositions before the fight even starts. I missed this part of the game. Would like to see more of it in the future.
Sir, I have to say you provide some of the best background noise. For the last weeks I've been running your videos more or less nonstop while I work. These videos are nostalgia overload for me as I use to play SC:BW and SC2 religiously and frankly, continuing to watch this makes me want to play again.

@@ondrejhabina7163 Yeah sure. Game balance-wise, it would be OP if mothership is a detector. But realistically, why wouldn't a mothership have the simplest technology like detection? It has cloaking, so the reverse technology only makes sense.
Looks at watch. "Yeah I can be a creature of the sea for an hour" Also being Winter I was wondering at 13:38 if you were going to talk about SOOicuide. Perhaps opportunity missed. That was truly amazing. All the rollercoaster of a movie in a tri series with an epic finale with neither prepared to tap out.
10:10: OMG LOL xD Their whole race paid with blood to give them time to build their strength, only to watch them commit suicide without firing a shot! 23:01: Not stutter-stepping the Broods back here cost him big. 42:38: Brooo... this was so bad from So0. He could see the Toss army moving to flank and chose to keep all of his Ultras attacking a Nexus, when 1 would have done the job, leaving his Broods and detection out to dry. Then he tries to fight AFTER losing the detector AND doesn't even split the Ultras to flank... what a travesty. As if making Ultras wasn't bad enough to begin with ;p 49:21: I can't believe how much time Harstem wasted, letting Soo build up an overwhelming force. He had such an easy win back when it was just Immortal vs Ultra. All he had to do was force the fight. Instead, he just danced around, knowing he had no mining, while the opponent built up another 60 supply. Baffling. That first Fungal on the Immortals, activating the Barriers, made all the difference. They were defenseless right as the Ultras reached them. 1:00:39: CLUTCH! =0 1:01:27: The banelings learned this from my middle-school teacher: "I can wait" 1:03:01: 🤣 1:04:44: It's so ridiculous how often people - pro players even - do this. What are they thinking? 1:05:24: So0, you have Lings and Banes, he's got Storms, and he's in a kill-box. Why are you attacking from a single direction?? 1:07:12: Dat base layout doe! He been plannin' for defending Ultras from day one ;p 1:07:57: Again. This was better but if he'd sent a few Ultras around the top, or even run some up on move-command from the bottom, to flank the rear, he would have won.
Harstem certainly wasn't yanking our chains when he said "best game no one saw". That was epic. And with the superb casting, it was even epicer. (VOD from the original cast was posted some hours ago, but after watching this, I can save some of you the time - It isn't worth a watch. Watch this cast instead).
DAMIT! Just yesterday I had a brainstorming/theorycrafting session with myself and came up with exactly this army composition that Harstem employs here lol
28:31 "whats next?....2 gases at 4:20... as he blazes a path..." Based on the lack of a comment mentioning this, clearly most people are missing your little micro-jokes. Well played sir.
yes but hows he forgetting basic stuff like placing pylons to power unpowered cannons? knowing fully well more baneling run bys will happen? also im glad he didnt go too many carriers again because that's a terrible idea with so many corruptors on the field.. secondly why does he stand around so much? you cant just stand around and wait for zerg to build its not in the protoss's favor.. idk man. the guys kinda basic
50:11 i think that fungal won him the game, that was f***ing insane value, triggered every single shield and slowed them into place, hoooooly, sad winter didnt mention it, legendary moment
I want to see void rays again and being used the way they are supposed to be used for. 5 of them can sniper a building quick. And you don't have to mass them just use them.
Haha I only watch your content just for the poor queen. It ain’t her fault she was use to rule over all but now have to crawl lol thanks for the great videos! Please keep them coming
Best Harstem i ever see. In 90% of cases Harstem is like uTermal. Take few battles against the best but all most all ways LOSE the war. NOT THIS TIME :) Love the Under dog.
wow harstem is still pro playin protoss eh? I havent played since the final expansion and/or the worker change (was grandmaster protoss) Its nice to see guys like him and her0 still around
Both these players seem to be unable to expand while attacking, presumably because they need to micro the fights. It's especially bad in game 3 when Soo has late-game map control for 5 mins and doesn't creep the rest of the map for later expansion. 59:10 to about 1:04:20
Spoiler: I think Harstems only mistake in game 2 was not to go for a full basetrade. He had the army to beat Soo, but running around on the map, while being heavily outmined gave Soo the chance to build up an army to beat Harstems. But great games 🙂
I don't think anything summarizes this series better than it being decided by a fight between 2 immortals + a stalker + 2 archons vs ~12 zerglings + 11 drones

@@chloesmith4065 "when a unit is down to 10 % or less hp, the unit will cast 25 % faster, and have its range increased by 5"
well hey at least no more student loans, amirite
Where did that Archon come from?!?! Well, when two Templar love each other very much.....
"Templar with storm already...ready." Winter is truly a caster of the people.
That's the the difference between...... book smart.... and spine smart. What a save hah
"Ultralisks are so inefficient they almost qualify as mineral laundering."
Aaaah Winter, how do you come up with such gold comments?
Receeding faster than my hairline.

I gotta agree with you, he plays differently. His use of spell casters is on point as well.
Harstem’s card got upgraded from 3/3/3 to 5/4/6 in a matter of days. Impressive
"If I want to lose a game I have already won, I build Ultras"
Great 3 games, thank you!
Captain is cooking right now
Harstem's Tempest play last cast he was in was incredible to watch.
Cooking a soop

One of the best matches I have ever seen. Congrats Harstem, you have improved so much
Did Harstem just got a Mana buff on his card? :D
He went from a 3/3/3 rare to a 5/4/6 epic congrats to him!

11:04 Perfect Oblivion reference 👌
13:19 The Infestors do less damage, they don't have infested Terrans aaaannnnd.... They take longer to unburrow now! 🤓 You're a good teacher, Winter 💜
The chart of general knowledge and confidence was funny af. Naturally, people on twitch know everything, even beyond. :D
haven't ever played starcraft in my life but your videos are quite fun to watch, especially when zergs are in play and brenda makes her entree.
came for the clickbait, stayed for the impressions of middleaged women
Boggles my mind that the mothership isn't a detector
Has this ever been discussed to change? I don’t believe it’s ever been one
I, too, think it should be a detector; I've mentioned this in a lot of places but I don't think anyone with any power over balance has.
@@chloesmith4065 Toss already has good detection though. they dont really need anything else
@@chloesmith4065 It just feels a bit too powerful to give cloak AND reveal the enemies cloak :D
@@ondrejhabina7163 Yeah sure. Game balance-wise, it would be OP if mothership is a detector. But realistically, why wouldn't a mothership have the simplest technology like detection? It has cloaking, so the reverse technology only makes sense.
ClickBait : Spellcasters 20% stronger but have Taunt. Just love this skills.
Never played the game, but I enjoy listening to your casts. I like it when you drop the more “R” rated commentary from time to time.
Amazing, dramatic back-and-forth fights. Excellent stuff!
That was an insanely exciting game! I feel like the games have gotten waaaaay more interesting in the last month or so.
Looks at watch. "Yeah I can be a creature of the sea for an hour"
Also being Winter I was wondering at 13:38 if you were going to talk about SOOicuide. Perhaps opportunity missed.
That was truly amazing. All the rollercoaster of a movie in a tri series with an epic finale with neither prepared to tap out.
Damm that last game was nuts. Literally both sides throwing everything including the kitchen sinks. Harstem’s sink was just stronger.
Well it feels like another 12 shield batteries helped out harstem's sink lol
Who was it you quoted a few months back who said Ultralisks are great for when you're ahead and want to lose in dramatic fashion?
Idra said that when he’s ahead and wants to lose, he builds ultras
28:34 "2 gasses at 420, as be blazes a path through the tech tree". Winter's casting is 2nd to none.
"I'm not playing Zerg to cast spells" - Famous Zerg player's last words
33:00 I know that reference. Great taste in music, Winter.
Probe: Captain, how many shield batteries do you want? Harstem: All of them
At 54:30, this idle probe (not working ) hiding at the mineral mines, pretending to be working..
Hurt me so much
"Susan, this is just game one.."
The Meta is strong in this one.

Is archon immortal templar tempest IMBA, are do you just Soock?
Did everyone miss the "Two gases at 4:20, as he BLAZES a path through the tech tree" xD
at 28:30
Those no-shield Archons had me stressed for the last couple minutes of the cast!
I would recall them to recharge at home
It will get better now Winter, thanks for another video from you. You do make my days better.
I do believe this series was cast on the B stream. Super late at night, was the second to last match of the night/open bracket.
Incredibel last game. Soo was ahead for so long and Harstem managed to win with so few units. That was great to watch.
DAMIT! Just yesterday I had a brainstorming/theorycrafting session with myself and came up with exactly this army composition that Harstem employs here lol
He said other creature of the sea, he said it. Stars aligned in this profession match of star craft 2. Just fabulous.
what a game, well done harstem! very fun to watch!
28:31 "whats next?....2 gases at 4:20... as he blazes a path..."
Based on the lack of a comment mentioning this, clearly most people are missing your little micro-jokes. Well played sir.
Wow. That last game. I had no idea who was going to win. Crazy.
Harstem, my favorite Dutch player.
The 8 feet tall captain by day, Maxpax during the night.
The Batman of sc2!
Lmfao 1:03:00 "harstem retreating faster than my hairline right now"
Your side commentary stuff yelling out to "Brenda" and such is so dumb...I love it so much. :D
That might’ve been the best series ever
harstem is a funny guy...love both your channels...thnx for casting some games of his
I like Harstem, what a grounded person
yes but hows he forgetting basic stuff like placing pylons to power unpowered cannons? knowing fully well more baneling run bys will happen? also im glad he didnt go too many carriers again because that's a terrible idea with so many corruptors on the field.. secondly why does he stand around so much? you cant just stand around and wait for zerg to build its not in the protoss's favor.. idk man. the guys kinda basic
He's got +3 ground attack, very grounded
Awesome series!
Great series!!
What a damn barn burner. . .
As a man wiser than I said... One absolute banger of a game
50:11 i think that fungal won him the game, that was f***ing insane value, triggered every single shield and slowed them into place, hoooooly, sad winter didnt mention it, legendary moment
When winter casts the Cap, it's the crossover I like 😊
fine, i will watch that again... for you, winter.

Nobody really wins at StarCraft... But he definitely was the last man standing
And Winter quickly corrects himself and says Harstem *survives*
