I'm the toss with the official most terrible opener to date in that last game, haha! I was so thrilled to play vs you captain that my brain switched off. Hope we'll have a rm one day and i won't ruin your video this time ;)
Harstem: Doesn't scout Also Harstem: WHYYYY WOULD YOU ROACH RUSHHH?!?!? WHO DOES THISS??? FIVE minutes into the game, and you've only scouted his 3rd base?!?!?!?
One thing I noticed after switching from Zerg to Protoss is a drastic increase in salt, even after a completely regular macro game i’ll get a “fuck you” lmao. I think Protoss is just annoying to play against sometimes?
Yeah. AOE damage and harder to scout. It's not imbalanced but it feels much harder to fight for most people, which is also why protoss dominates except at pro lvl@@ZerglingLover
game 3 against the protoss, his plan just continuously evolved into "I'm going to get more corruptors". "Ah yes, he's done this thing... the proper response to this is to get mass corruptors"
Beating grand masters with stupid stuff idea: You have not rushed out the overseer yet. I've heard that the contaminate ability is very good at delaying upgrades and is a very good harrasment tool.
@@shadowling77777 Thermy did it a lot in his ghosts only and cloaked units series, denying scans. The thing about it vs structures is it removes 100 shields and energy, not all shields and energy, and buildings tend to have a lot of shields.
Zerg ideas - mind control an SCV long enough to build a CC, then ... 1. Float it to a corner after opponent loses all air. a. use the CC to ferry the SCV(s) around to mine random minerals/gas b. Can a Zerg CC ferry around drones also? If so, extractor trick to avoid total destruction. 2. BC rush. 35 minute BC rush for BLH submission. 3. Proxy planetary in opponent's main. Bonus: Do this against Florencio, to take out his depots. 4. Set up a planetary contain AS ZERG. Send the game to Rank roulette.
'Is that... Team Archon pulling a miracle counterattack against mr Corrupterpee? AND FROM THE SIDE COMES THE WHOLE ULTRAGANG WITH A STEEL CHAIR OH MY GOD WHAT A BATTLE!'
Corruptors are really strong in plat. I've had surprisingly good results with ling-bane-corruptor vs Terran. They're much less squishy than mutas, and in a league where most players don't have the best positioning or reaction times, it's possible to snipe bases and do similar economic damage to mass mutas. If the Terran turtles you have an easy transition to brood lords.
Against Protoss that probably just ends up with you losing your handful of Brood Lords to Stalkers with Blink, then still being behind because you have no ground cover.
>ultras come out >smash the puny archon force with their giant manly claws >run circles around the enemy in victorious joy >'broodlord better, make broodlord' Ultras just cannot catch a break, can they
In 3rd game seemed like morphing a couple of them into Broodlords FOR DEFENSE might have been a good idea, so you get a ton of dmg on those archons for free.
Thinking about your second game - could you hide a drone and build an extractor somewhere while you destroy the opponent's structures. He had no anti-air counter to you and the win condition is to kill all the buildings.
okok what about beating grandmasters with a fake retreat? Make them think you underestimated their army/tech and are running away, so that they chase you. Then, swoop in with the rest of your army and wreck their main/nat as soon as they do
Never understand why people scout with hallucinated oracle. The oracle is much more scary and deceptive and only slightly slower in flying speed, wouldn’t it make sense to scout with hallucinated oracle? And then every once in a while you have a real oracle and it opens up more damage because eventually they think it’s just another hallucinating scout
@@matth1005 ik, but with 20 corrupters I think you could split 1-2 on each building and have enough to fly around looking for more and maybe distract his his biles. Enough money for a few extractors too.

Harstem: Doesn't scout

First opponent plays like every Protoss ever: "He plays like a massive prick"
prick and protoss are basically the same word!

Protoss has the strongest a move deathballs and static defense. Thats why theyre the most homo.
@@sakesaurusas a first born Protoss i can confirm this is true.
BGMWSS really makes you think how much strategy space there is still to be explored in sc2
game 3 against the protoss, his plan just continuously evolved into "I'm going to get more corruptors". "Ah yes, he's done this thing... the proper response to this is to get mass corruptors"
"if i didnt die right now i think im fine" XD
We all came for the gameplay but stayed for the wisdom.
"If I didn't die right now I'd be fine" so relatable, Captain
This could be the most stupid strategy yet. Great stuff!
Peeepee corruptor strat

I want to see the mass orbital emp drop style. “No scans/mules for you!”
@@chir0pteremp doesn’t work on structures.. wym o.o
@@shadowling77777it works. uThermal has used it in his ghosts only challenge to remove energy from Orbitals to deny Scans.
@@shadowling77777 Yeah it does, ask any Protoss who failed to recall to an expo cuz the Nexus got emp'd

Tried this a bit on the ladder today. Had success in ZVZ on NA plat.
Corruptors are really strong in plat.

Anyone else want to see harstems reaction to the hailstorm? 😂 post some out takes!
I think you need to rush out the broodlords faster so that you are ready for a groundswitch
Silver league zerg be like
Against Protoss that probably just ends up with you losing your handful of Brood Lords to Stalkers with Blink, then still being behind because you have no ground cover.
gglord always give all race a illusion how powerful they are. But in reality they are only good as they only take 4 supply.
>ultras come out
>smash the puny archon force with their giant manly claws
>run circles around the enemy in victorious joy
>'broodlord better, make broodlord'
Ultras just cannot catch a break, can they
If the Captain is saying it that way, I'm quite certain I wouldn't appreciate you either, Rob.
In 3rd game seemed like morphing a couple of them into Broodlords FOR DEFENSE might have been a good idea, so you get a ton of dmg on those archons for free.
instead of canceilling your ccorruptor ground attack, just shift a mvoe your other corruptors
I’ve been watching you for a long long time. Recently started watched uthermal as well. You should steal is corruptor rush build
>corruptor vs phoenix/oracle
"I got countered"
He meant the blink followup.
Thinking about your second game - could you hide a drone and build an extractor somewhere while you destroy the opponent's structures. He had no anti-air counter to you and the win condition is to kill all the buildings.
It reveals your structures when you have no hatch
“Meme yt” lol these mid GMs are onto you and uthermal
wow, ultras are actually useful in some situations
"God, I hate people like you!"
So....people like yourself? Lol xD
sad that first guy didn't try guessing :D
Try medivac rush next.
Every marine need to consist with one medivac
Lmfao
If you're comfortable losing a corrupter to kill a base, just keep peeing on it longer. The attack gets stronger over time.
7 damage/sec for 4 sec, then 35 damage/sec after
@@jackryan6446 oh really? wow
I have felt like ever since wings of liberty corrupters have hard countered everything protoss wants to do.
You didn’t rush workers like bill gates though, that guy is a total chad
Pee rush. Nice.
This really does look strong

actually stupid! very enjoyable.

but thats not stupid
@@bullpup1337 hmmmm right that is literally in the Art of War, huh
Nydus drone rush?
Nydus spine rush!
This is an idea 1 game 2 build order

Call the video where you review BGMWSS copy games "Starcraft Clone Wars"
Vroege gang!
Vroege bende!
In 012 😂
Gg counter?
Wrong series fam
“Who roach rushes?!!” literally every zvz is roach v roach xdd
This is more viable that it should be 😅
In game 2 vs z, could you not Win the base race? build some extractors and pee on their remaining buildings?
The corruption pee has a cooldown
@@matth1005 ik, but with 20 corrupters I think you could split 1-2 on each building and have enough to fly around looking for more and maybe distract his his biles. Enough money for a few extractors too.
"meme yt?"
Well, he's not very far from the truth tbh
@Harstem how did you find a gf with your commitment issues? lol
My Dream. One Day. Is for Harstem to call me a "Missive Prick." #lifegoals
😂😂
Lol
sucks to be Rob
Maybe a SPINE rush!!!
Nydus spine rush. Shame you can't put spines in a nydus.
