@@amateurishauthor2202 recently they have definitely brought around quite the resurgence, but I don't think they're solely the reasons that SC2 is still alive. I mean, Grant just started getting popular like 2 years ago!
I just got into doing Co-op games a month or so ago from watching GGG and Jay. Sad I missed out on it when it was in full swing, but still having a great time.
Zerg from 4th replay here Frist of all, GGG is my favourite content creator in all of StarCraft, and I'm thrilled that I got to watch him judge my game! Harstem, as my second favourite Dutch content creator, it's an honor as well. Honestly, I'm even flattered by their guesses! This game was so insane to me because we literally ended up on 0 workers each, and this doesn't happen often, so I submitted a loss nevertheless. Thanks to Hamster as well for choosing my replay.
@@hamster_designs Make a "defo unfair" edition of it for all the people that were lovable underdogs (i.e. losers). You can't just keep getting the champions back in, you need a "straight man" in the party as well - ya know, the fat 40 yo running alongside the olympic track for comparison. Gives you an oportunity to unleash your inner sadist, and since it'd be mostly people who can't guess anyway, it doesn't matter that it's unfair (and also they know what they're getting into).
Next will be Lowko, i guess. Lots of fun contestants this season 😍 And i like that Harstem is so smart to share infos to those who need them. So it's a competition but no one needs to feel left alone. This is what respect looks like!
***HAMSTER PLEASE READ*** A huge tell is that Hamster never picks the same league twice. Every rank roulette, Hamster makes sure that he picks four completely different leagues every single rank time. This is a huge advantage if someone were paying close enough attention. I mention it so that Hamster reads this and mixes it up a bit this season! Please like so we can get Hamster’s attention.
The fact that I haven't played SC2 1v1s since Wings of Liberty is flavoring my takes. I was convinced there was no way that the first game was any higher than gold league. If this is all it takes to get masters then maybe I should dust off my rust and give the ladder another shot.
WOW you weren't kidding when you said we wouldn't be able to guess the guest the other day! This was truly unexpected, weird I watched him last night for the first time in a very long time. 😝
Haven't played StarCraft 2 in years, randomly a GGG video came up on my home page, now I'm climbing the ladder and enjoying the campaign again. Glad he's getting the recognition
Damn, glad to see that GGG got some recognition. Though what's more surprising is that Harstem is good at campaigns apparently? Thought he was hitting the ladder more, but I guess him being the Campaign Genius aligns more with his recent achievements. (i hope people understand that this is a joke)
Well if your good at micro/macro the campaign is gonna fold pretty well (this is definetly not why i had to reset on the evacuation like five times playing violets nightmare)
Lets goo, this was one of my most hoped for suggestions and probably some others as well, such a friendly and super unique content creator for starcraft, because watching some of the starcraft 2 mods really brings fresh air to the game.
Yeah! Significantly sized Grant! Also Woooooo another rank roulette season! edit: apparently I missed the first(?) episode, so yeah...wooooo another rank roulette season!
This episode was so eerily similar to todays one. grant missing ui thing, the mirrors, the reapers, the score, the comments about zergs in a cave unaware of the meta, "it could be one of my games". :D
Not being afraid to share your replays even when you lose is unironically a winner's mindset. Ego can be a brick wall people run into trying to improve.
No waaaaaaay, GGG with Harstem that's so cool ! 😊 Happy that the master of the campaings get some visibility like that to the more competitive scene ! 💜
I knew the last one was low when the reapers went too far in, threw all their grenades that they need to get back out, and then the lings just let them out anyway. That would not fly at higher levels. The lack of a wall just confirmed it. Harstem was asleep at the wheel on that one.
I just want to give feedback on the community rank roulet site. The personal results page is impossible to read. Can you make it so we can see what league we guessed each round and what was the correct answer?
It is interesting to see my 2 favorite content creators (I hope not to offend Harstem by calling him a content creator and not a pro player :D), both from the SC2 world but focusing on completely different parts of the game.
Got a 10! Fell behind thinking the Plat player was G3, but caught back up in the last round with a 0. I'm convinced I would do great at this game because I spent so long being bad at sc2 whereas harstems never actually played against anyone below masters on the ladder. Was just born into greatness
Man i went D2, GM, P2 and actually got the G1 at the end cause I still remembered a game in S1 when a player just knew how to micro reapers and nothing else and he was G1.
The only one I got wrong was the M2 one, because as someone said looked like they didn't have enough APM, but I guess I forgot they were Protoss. That G1 replay was the most G1 looking game I've ever seen.
SPOILERS IN THIS POST. My guesses - Gold 1 (well, I guess that completely wrong. I am one level above this and I can't believe this is one level below me, why.) - Master 3 (NA really is a worse ladder than EU lol) - Diamond 1 (damn, they were worse than I thought, it seemed solid with all the stutter stepping etc.) - Diamond 2 (I am really not good at this) This was very difficult, lol.
I got 6 points again this episode and guessed gold 1 on the 4the game only because Hamster never picks the same league twice in this episodes lol. 6 points back to back episodes!
Round 1 I was way off, Round 2 and 3 I dialed it in, and was off by only one point each, both times too low, so for round 4 I took my gut feeling and added one to it and got the perfect answer. I think I've got this figured out now lmao.
the real game IS the campaign and skirmish vs ai harstem come on man =/ Thanks for having grant on, its interesting to get his perspective and insight since he mainly plays the real part of starcraft aka pve. thanks for the vid hastem
I'm so happy GGG is getting more recognition. He is really making the game much more fun to play for us filthy casuals
I think he and Jayborino both are the only reasons why Starcraft 2 has stayed alive as long as it has

GGG made me reinstall SC2
So very true
I think GGG has the best radio voice of anyone in the SC2 community.
You don't say? 😉🤫😗😊
Came for this comment
Yeah, amazing voice but also and amazingly clean audio setup!!
Every time I stop watching GGG for a few weeks or months, I get shocked when I hear him through the mic again. Wew, smooth voice and audio.
They're both using the same Shure SM7B microphone, too. It tells you, the most important part of getting great sound is having a great voice, lol.
10:39 "I haven't thought a single thought in three seasons and I'm doing fantastic" -Harstem
this made me laugh too hard
"Well their terran's so they've already got the salt" absolutely brutal I'm dying
that was a great line
they're* Terrans*
*they're Terrans
Grammar Nazis have more salt than all Starcraft races combined.
*"The problem with PvP is everyone is an idiot"*
Guess nobody hates Protoss than Protoss players themselves xD
Well even in Starcraft 1 there was an enormous ammount of PvP missions.
Can confirm as a protoss player xD
I felt like seeing that scene from the Simpsons, "Damn Scots, they ruined Scotland!"

That was a fun game to watch, thanks for sharing!
It was a GREAT choice of replay ^^
kudos to you, being a warrior to fight to the end and feel no shame in submitting a loss. sign of a great guy, to even recognize their failures ;)
@@Merumya Thanks man, appreciate that :)
An unlikely collab to be sure but a welcome one.
cooking classics next year!
the collaboration i never knew i needed.
Also, seeing Grant from the front is pretty cursed.
yeeeee
yeah seriously, they should cast together. Super fun combo
I could see them cast plat league heros, which I would find an entertaining format
Grant is such a wholesome personality on this channel! This episode was a treat to watch!
I think this is the most fun I've seen Harstem have in one of these.
Hamster, do me a favor and do like 3-4 games in a row of the exact same league. I want to see this break Harmsten/the next guests brain.
I choose the replays randomly so that its unpredictable and fair for all contestants ^^ but it could happen nonethless

Harstem forgot Winter's words of wisdom in the last round: "Terran and Protoss hit a wall at gold because they don't build one and zerg walks in."
What a colab!! My favorite two RUclipsrs in one video!
Next will be Lowko, i guess. Lots of fun contestants this season 😍 And i like that Harstem is so smart to share infos to those who need them. So it's a competition but no one needs to feel left alone. This is what respect looks like!

You might think that, but i choose em at random ^^
The tomato soup discussion was great. We all strive to be a tasty dip for grilled cheese, but sometimes we end up as water soup.
Harstem thinking he voted on Diamond 3 when he said Diamond 2 then nonchalantly was happy about it broke me.
I need more Grantstem in my life
The fact that I haven't played SC2 1v1s since Wings of Liberty is flavoring my takes. I was convinced there was no way that the first game was any higher than gold league. If this is all it takes to get masters then maybe I should dust off my rust and give the ladder another shot.

Awesome: The 2 most smooth voices of SC2 scene! Love it!!
10:50 "I havent thought a single thought in 3 Seasons and I'm doing fantastic"
props to you Harstem, you really are the best ;)
Haven't played StarCraft 2 in years, randomly a GGG video came up on my home page, now I'm climbing the ladder and enjoying the campaign again. Glad he's getting the recognition
Grant is the best. This was a fantastic episode, keep it up!
31:21 Whoever uploaded this one and whoever edited the footage for show did a good job. That's one hella confused Harstem.
I'm so happy, I guessed Gold 2 on the last round (in Grant's honor for the bad guess the previous round) and it was WAY closer than either of them.
Wow, Grant is so savage on protosses. :D
Harstem was on route for a great score, until he caught a torpedo below the waterline in the last round...
Damn, glad to see that GGG got some recognition.
Though what's more surprising is that Harstem is good at campaigns apparently? Thought he was hitting the ladder more, but I guess him being the Campaign Genius aligns more with his recent achievements.
(i hope people understand that this is a joke)
I think GGG is the Campaign Genius
I never click "Read more"

Maybe ;]

Oh God this series is fantastic xD
You actually made me laugh Kevin. Not a single thought in 3 seasons. Pro life.
I love you. Keep making that money
That voice though! I could listen to that all day.
fantastic to see two of my favorite SC2 bois competing against each other! More pls!
Woo! Two favorite SC II Content makers! I've wanted this so long!
Great to see The Godfather of SC campaigns GiantGrantGames!
Hell yeah love seeing GGG on the Rank Roullete.
This is my first time seeing GiantGrantGames. His voice is like Barry White.
I got back into StarCraft by watching Serral and Maru play. And by watching GGGs content
Nice!
Love Grant! Pretty nice to hear and see him :D
Ahhh the Blunder right at the end, that could have been an epic game Harstem
Wooh Grant, thats a nice surprise!
No waaaaaaay, GGG with Harstem that's so cool ! 😊 Happy that the master of the campaings get some visibility like that to the more competitive scene ! 💜
GGG sounds even more baritone in this video. he could cosplay Abathur announcer:)

My 2 favourite Harstem and giant grant games yay
20:00 I wasn't prepared for that
He's Grant, He's Giant, and he is Gaming.
I just want to give feedback on the community rank roulet site. The personal results page is impossible to read. Can you make it so we can see what league we guessed each round and what was the correct answer?
Best episode so far, excellent synergy.
When they're listing all the attributes that make you not possible to be bronze and you do all those things but still bronze lmao
It is interesting to see my 2 favorite content creators (I hope not to offend Harstem by calling him a content creator and not a pro player :D), both from the SC2 world but focusing on completely different parts of the game.
Well, he called himself a former pro player if i am not mistaken ;)
Got a 10! Fell behind thinking the Plat player was G3, but caught back up in the last round with a 0.
I'm convinced I would do great at this game because I spent so long being bad at sc2 whereas harstems never actually played against anyone below masters on the ladder. Was just born into greatness
10, that's respectable! But even though you were born into greatness, Harstem beat ya :p
@@hamster_designs I meant harstem was born into greatness. True, he did beat me though so I should've saved my comment for the next one :) :)
Man i went D2, GM, P2 and actually got the G1 at the end cause I still remembered a game in S1 when a player just knew how to micro reapers and nothing else and he was G1.
6 Points? That's on level with MCannings legendary run!
The only one I got wrong was the M2 one, because as someone said looked like they didn't have enough APM, but I guess I forgot they were Protoss. That G1 replay was the most G1 looking game I've ever seen.
Laughing so hard at the tomato soup 🤣
damn mr games has such a voice!
Oooh Mr. Lowko coming back to reclaim his crown next week
GGG Poggers
Man Grant got a insane voice.
SPOILERS IN THIS POST.
My guesses
- Gold 1 (well, I guess that completely wrong. I am one level above this and I can't believe this is one level below me, why.)
- Master 3 (NA really is a worse ladder than EU lol)
- Diamond 1 (damn, they were worse than I thought, it seemed solid with all the stutter stepping etc.)
- Diamond 2 (I am really not good at this)
This was very difficult, lol.
Oof. Maybe your first guess just threw you off today. Better luck next time! But yeah, it is quite difficult ^^
@@hamster_designs I'll comment every time. Here is to hoping in getting better!
@@LodeCos You'll get there! Even Harstem gets it right from time to time, so it can't be that hard ;]
I need me a Bane Boost Energy
LMFAO I would watch starcraft cooking
cannot watch this with his mic bass boosted like nothing else, going to the next video! xD
I got 6 points again this episode and guessed gold 1 on the 4the game only because Hamster never picks the same league twice in this episodes lol. 6 points back to back episodes!
my 2 favorite SC Influencer i think i dream
"I go for Diamond 2. Locked in."
"Last week I went for Diamond 3."
wat ?
29:15
Lol
Woah! What a surprise!
We need Jayborino now
im a fan of calling him mister 3G
06:30 - wait, why did Grant receive 2 (TWO) points when he's only 1 (ONE) division away from the correct answer ???
Heyy, Big G is here!
Oh god can I like it ten times! GOGOGO GGG GRANT!
Surprised to see no link for the stated sponsor in the description \m/
“I’m too dumb for your tricks to work one me”. Never change Grant.
No way my 2 fav sc2 content creators
HOLY SHIT IT"S THE CROSS OVER OF THE CENTURY!
Today we all realized that no one knows what is in tomato soup.
Excellent content, Gentlemen! Harstem and Mr. Games had some great rapport. I hope he makes the playoffs.
D3 great start for me lmao 🤣
I'm bronze and I watch pro games all the time!
I never play, but when I do I'm bronze.
- mister Games
- mister Stem
Don't worry GGG, Winter guessed Silver 2 in the season 1 finals and was waaaaay off. You'll do fine.
Giant has the sickest voice of all RUclipsrs.
First? Nice.
Also I'd like to assume that GGG is here just because I wanted him in a comment :D
Round 1 I was way off, Round 2 and 3 I dialed it in, and was off by only one point each, both times too low, so for round 4 I took my gut feeling and added one to it and got the perfect answer. I think I've got this figured out now lmao.
Big GGG fan. Love harstrm’s content. Great crossover
You're a content MACHINE!
Ah, this should be good!
yes this is what we've all been waiting for!
Love Grant, just so cheerful and funny.
Haven't heard of that GGG guy before but he seems super cool. This video was super entertaining!
the real game IS the campaign and skirmish vs ai harstem come on man =/
Thanks for having grant on, its interesting to get his perspective and insight since he mainly plays the real part of starcraft aka pve. thanks for the vid hastem
I love both of your content
ggg could have toned the lower frequencies a little
where can i buy some bane boost?
GGG has an amazing voice
