@@moritzspruner2006 Uh yeah? There's definitely golds who think they are "good" lol. But for real, the skill ceiling on this game is so fking high, diamond is respectable.
"I will link the stuff in the description and maybe even an info card" I should be used to harstem baiting us, but every time i still have a glimmer of hope left.
“A little bit of relatively easy micro here, most people should be capable of this when you reach they grandmaster league” 15:18 Meanwhile that is the 1% or less than that of players who play the game.
thank you this is a dope build! learned how to execute it vs ai, just played 3 ranked games, won them all, it creates so much pressure while you're getting a great eco from how fast you have 2 bases and you can just keep expanding while you're attacking, but so far ive also beaten protoss and terran with it, im just using it every game lol kinda new to toss so i dont have any other openers. in diamond btw, just recently switched to toss from terran
I think a very simple but very effective improvement you could make to these videos is including at least the replay of you against the AI in the description. I'm sure it would help a lot of people, including me, because then it would be possible for us to be in control of observing the replay to figure out the minute things like what probes build what that isn't necessarily shown by you or things like how some things should time out.
Btw, serral def saw that moveout on the prism because he is freaking serral. If he cant get damage in with a ling run by he tends to always patrol them around the perimeters of the enemy base.
You put thumbs up for "Serral" at the end of the video - is that the name of the up-and-coming player you were talking about? If so it seems to me they have a bright future in SC2.
Brb, going to watch the first 3 minutes of this video on 2x speed then record myself losing a few ladder games and blame it on your build order. ;) Nice title btw, love the inclusion of the year to make sure we know it's current
Btw in the "for real" low tiers (Plat-Diam) Zerg will 99% of the times try to stomp your base with early pools or building a Hatchery in your main (spawn a Nidus asap in other cases). I wish I could use this build, but at my mmr feels like "IMBA air Toss" is a safer gamble
Damn Kevin, you gave it to that Very Easy AI real hard! Keep doing what you are doing, i enjoy all the build guides especially, even tho i quit playing SC2 long time ago ^^ I wonder when you will start making easy winning buildguides for Terran and Zerg, as you will know best by your recent experiences from getting grandmaster with stupid races, which builds are easy to do for a 'lower level' player and which are easier!
Also while i am at it (ye ii also hope 2 comments feed the algorithm even more) could you also add some info on how to counter the builds you present, and when someone plays them, which signs you need to look for to 'abort immeadiately' because your enemy counters the thing you are doing?
This seems much better than the 100% winrate build from 2019, and yet it only wins 99% of the time. Us Protoss players gotta step up our game, or we stop counting losses again.
Harstem, love the guides and the videos, especially us lower league players, you know low GM, but can you please provide the replays to help us lower league players.
He said in a previous video it only works for PvZ. It still has issues because you delay tech by a lot so vulnerable to things like mines and cloaked banchees
Hi, new Protoss player here, can someone explain how his warp prism control is so clean. I noticed he has it bound to 9 and it's not in the main army group. It's like he has a thought that it's time to warp in more stalkers in the middle of the heat of battle and they are instantly being warped in. For me, I would fumble around to find the control group the warp prism is on, then hit the warp button and even my warp in is slower. How does he do all of this so quickly? Any explanation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
He uses rapid fire to warp in lots of units The rest is just practice and getting used to the hot keys If you always have your prism on 9 for example you can instinctively find it But you can use 8 or 0 as well Find what works best for you
Yeah honestly harstem just needed to continue production Serral wouldn't have been able to keep building things because he wouldn't have had the income.
Would have loved a second warp prism to drop a probe out at third to try to expand and then use two warp prisms to keep pressure on and divided; if third is cancelled it took some supply to do it and the prisms should have more luck to find damage.
At first I was suspicious about the 99% win rate, but now that I see that it is vs the Very Easy AI, I wonder how Harstem manages to lose 1% of the time.
i find it funny how mutch of an epileptic seisure can be caused by whatching a pro player play this game... we have one on our espsports team, and tring to whatch him play is really figgin difficult.
Dear Harstem, I'm a big fan of your singing during your play. If I could make a request for a future video it would be Wheat Kings - Tragically Hip(ruclips.net/video/agr_wTBvhJs/видео.html) It is well within your range, thank you.

Oh hey I recognize that zerg player he's a professional minigolfer from Finland. Nice to see he's picked up playing starcraft during the offseason.

@@tastydirtydan988 You'd need to watch the video of Harstem roasting Lowko to get the joke
amateur* minigolf player. He's professional in some other scene, like a game or something. I can't remember what game though
@@jn278 he plays Blizzard games, so probably world of warcraft

When harstem says "I will put them in the description" with a little smirk, is the smirk because he knows he will not put it in the description? lol
6 months on and he still never does :D

did you submit a replay to lowko?

It's nice that you will showcase these "new small time up and comers" in your videos
I was thinking of trying this build but harstem lost with it to a small unknown zerg player so it clearly is not very good
Just beat a zerg with this build. the opponent replied "Harstem is rude"
XD
13:54 "It probably won't be easy against everyone"
It wasn’t until the 14th minute when I realised he was playing against Serral lmao

Yes, need text description
U missed an opportunity there, should have stayed and won the game, then get a "Is it imba or do i suck" from Serral.
Great videos bro. We appreciate you.
Btw, serral def saw that moveout on the prism because he is freaking serral. If he cant get damage in with a ling run by he tends to always patrol them around the perimeters of the enemy base.

"I will teach you to win 99%"
*proceeds to surrender*
I see some potential in this Cereal guy
Great! Now whenever I forget to macro during my attack I can just say that I'm "cutting workers."
"I actually didn't think this build would work" lolol after explaining the entire thing your the best
Btw in the "for real" low tiers (Plat-Diam) Zerg will 99% of the times try to stomp your base with early pools or building a Hatchery in your main (spawn a Nidus asap in other cases).
I wish I could use this build, but at my mmr feels like "IMBA air Toss" is a safer gamble
Did you just pull an IdrA against Serral? I thought I'd seen it all
Seems like the only thing missing in this build is the Confidence timing, LOL
Hastem whatever you are smoking you need to hook me up with some xD
Damn Kevin, you gave it to that Very Easy AI real hard!
Keep doing what you are doing, i enjoy all the build guides especially, even tho i quit playing SC2 long time ago ^^
I wonder when you will start making easy winning buildguides for Terran and Zerg, as you will know best by your recent experiences from getting grandmaster with stupid races, which builds are easy to do for a 'lower level' player and which are easier!
Is this one of the hitman's build orders? kinda looks somewhat like one.
Hi harstem! Love the build and game play man! And also gotta say your hair is on point! Has upatree been giving some pointers for the hair?
Also while i am at it (ye ii also hope 2 comments feed the algorithm even more) could you also add some info on how to counter the builds you present, and when someone plays them, which signs you need to look for to 'abort immeadiately' because your enemy counters the thing you are doing?
16:15 this build will do absolute wonders... just make sure you don't play against Serral
wrr
I hope Serral does make it big some day. He did okay against a pro like Harstem. ;)
Why he does not do a full wall on the natural ?
Such a gentleman. Thanks for doing this vid
Zerg guide videos : if you fight in your base your reinforcements will arrive sooner than the opponent's
Me : *insert meme* so that was a lie
Amazing video man i love it
one day harstem will remember to put things in the description
so that's how serral wins his game, by intimidation
This seems much better than the 100% winrate build from 2019, and yet it only wins 99% of the time. Us Protoss players gotta step up our game, or we stop counting losses again.
How does this do in PvT?
I tryouts this, it’s sick. Thank you
Lol harstem you never ceases to amaze us nice one bro :)
Harstem, love the guides and the videos, especially us lower league players, you know low GM, but can you please provide the replays to help us lower league players.
What happened to the new "How did we miss this for so long"-opener?
He said in a previous video it only works for PvZ. It still has issues because you delay tech by a lot so vulnerable to things like mines and cloaked banchees
He put out a video on it a week and a half/ two weeks ago. The other comment basically summarizes it
Hey harstem, are you a robo bay?
nice vid captain, how is it better than glaive adept opening though?
it doesnt flat out die to roaches
Not just gonna get hard countered, also less difficult compared to the damage that can be done
You can recognize good story by how it ends.
could this work as a PvT all in, at least in diamond/low master?
try it and let us know
I think you'd have to do the drops inside his wall-off(s)
Be honest, did you create the BO guide after beating Serral with this build as a way to brag?
As a diamond zerg I thank you captain for all the MMR I got from toss players fucking this up...
Nice vid, zerg player seemed like an absolute noob tho.
dunno I think he has potential...
@@catbertsis pretty good minigolf player in the amateur scene, right?
as soon as you mentinoned you were playing against a upcomer and you stopped yourself from clicking the player tab thing i knew lol
Day 2 of asking Harstem how his day was.
I like this build. Looks difficult to scout and powerful. Hope we see it again in the big leagues.
I love the way you smile so much haha
hey, can you make a guide using protoss againts zerg that instantly build their base across the map to the top?
Maybe a glaive adept all in
You shouldn’t trust me
But something to try out perhaps

Find what works best for you
Zerg’s petition to boycott this build
🔻
Mate it truly destroyes zerg, i have like 4-0 with this build
Remember that harstem sad 1 time: "Maybe serral will become great player"
So Serral my have not been the best person to demo the build with lol. But looking forward to trying it! How about a PvT build after recent patch?
Harstem was 20 workers ahead and still could've put enough pressure so that Serral couldn't regain an advantage. He would've won if he didn't tap out.
Yeah honestly harstem just needed to continue production Serral wouldn't have been able to keep building things because he wouldn't have had the income.
Would have loved a second warp prism to drop a probe out at third to try to expand and then use two warp prisms to keep pressure on and divided; if third is cancelled it took some supply to do it and the prisms should have more luck to find damage.
where are your guides to dealing with 14 pool vs 16 pool
At first I was suspicious about the 99% win rate, but now that I see that it is vs the Very Easy AI, I wonder how Harstem manages to lose 1% of the time.
Apparently Serral is the 1% lol
@@meadbert I hate it when I start a game in a closed lobby vs a Very Easy AI but then I am somehow matched with Serral instead. Happens too often.
Should've built a couple more gates, you were floating 800 minerals.
Man, I’d rather take the L over someone quitting and saying “we’ll give him the win... make him feel good.” With a wink and a smile.

i got roach rushed after i blocked his natural
gg, oh! He has 25 workers! xD

PLAYING against serall...
noone:
harstem: wont be that easy against everyone :D
u dint link anything. dissapointed
I'm punishing a lot of zerg with this build, the time to take my points back has come. The time of losing against queen walk is finished. muahahahaha
Who's here because of Lowko?
pvp guide plz
The lower leagues, anywhere below top 100
Man I wanted to see if that noob he played against has the strength to show up in the comments
Works 99% of the time - except this time.
gem video
this never works, zerg has 2 expos before im there and mass speedlings just make it impossible to do stuff...
Please don't do this to me, skytoss is already so hard to kill as zerg
Eh I guess calling a single warp prism "skytoss" is a bit of a stretch but you do you.
@@Пашинамузыка imagine doing this build and zergs on the ladder are like: waaaait, he surely has his void rays stacked up at home, hmmmmmmmm
“Struggling in pvz”
Why would you all-in a zerg, you already can win 99% of games under the profesinal level by just macroing skytoss and pushing
As he said, when they get bored of doing voidrays. :)
Despite the title this is no all in
25 workers :)
How is this a guide that demonstrates its failure?
Left the game just a bit early
Harstem was winning over Serral untill he gg:d.
