What an epic battle. That part where TheSeed not only purposefully, but strategically held back his queens to give the banshees a false sense of accomplishment was really commendable. Some edge of your seat gameplay we had here. A once in a lifetime viewing experience. Truly.
Qikun Xiang It always is. I don’t think there is a video in this series which has concluded IMBALANCE, because you can always find mistakes. Having mistakes doesn’t mean your opponent’s race isn’t imba
@@spencerx7963 It's not about whether there are mistakes or not, even pro games have mistakes. It's about whether the "imbalanced" thing could have been beaten with minimal skill. No, not pro skill, not Serral-level micro, just doing the minimal thing you're expected to do to counter a strategy. It's like calling Protoss "imbalanced" because cannon rushes exist. A cannon rush isn't an automatic win, and if it's not done at a level printf does it, then you don't need to be a pro to break it, and actually come up on top. But people are bad, so cannon rushes work sometimes. Doesn't make them imba.
@@spencerx7963 The thing is, it's not just an analysis of the person's skill. The person is allowed to make a claim as to what caused them to lose, and Harstem actually explains how they could have countered it. For instance, if someone lost to a cannon rush, and sent their replay going "cannons are imba", then Harstem could explain how to correctly counter a cannon rush. This is an important element of this series. If it was just generally commenting on people's mistakes, and not evaluating how much one specific element contributed (or didn't contribute) to the loss, then it wouldn't be "Is it imba or do I suck", it would just be angry coaching.
I was 32 when I started watching this video. It just finished and I am 85 now. I'm pretty sure, they considered to use this replay as an interrogation tool in guantanamo but decided it was too inhumane. I love that usually in the end harstem lists all the mistakes the guy made, but this time he just didn't even try cause he knew, that the viewers won't stick arround for another 30 minutes haha. You could clearly see the pain in his face.
I watched the whole thing and I feel some type of brain damage after it. Everything seems to be moving in slow motion now. Please don't watch the entire video, count grains of sand in 1 gram weight instead, it will be more productive.
I watched the entire game. I think we should appreciate the game knowledge bombs displayed in this game. Not only does the Terran know exactly how many nukes it takes to kill a hatchery, the Zerg metagames him by getting a second lair.
Harstems personality is perfect for this series. Just started watching him, he is hilarious. Also this shit makes me feel like I can be gm after not playing since Wings
“It’ wasn’t just regular suck”. “Doh’t ever send me a replay again...”. Bawhahaha, the funny thing is they both sucked!! Loved the last 5 minute roast.
I'm getting ready to go to bed. I saw the title, and figured "Ah, why not. One quick video before I go to bed." I made a terrible mistake, but I did watch it until the end.
Watching this game was like watching supply depots go to war against overlords. If there wasn't a limit to map resources this would have gone on forever.
Damn. Almost nothing makes me laugh but you made me laugh to tears and made me unable to stand straight. Watching Harstem loose his sanity is just what we need. Oh and please turn game sounds down a bit - it was hard to hear you over shots and explosions. I couldn't get what you were saying about what you would do after being released from jail.
"It must be really difficult living with this low skill" "this is not regular sucking" love it. Want to see more the seed games! 5:45 my favorite moment in "Oh no, he is moving. Glad I got to witness that. It's one of those things you got to witness once in a lifetime is the Seeds overlord actually scouting. It's like the moon blocks the sun or like a meteorshower, sth like that. Now he is like 'oh triple starport, how the world should I have known. Terran is so OP hiding these'."
"hi!" still watching to the end! We started a zoom-screen-share and turned it into a drinking game at 20 minutes though, figuring it would be a fun idea. We took a drink for every 5 seconds that nobody did anything. We are all now plastered. Should have started the drinking game at 35 minutes instead.... None of us are getting that 47 minutes back, but at least my friends and I are all set for a virtual party!
This isn't bronze league skill level mate, this is something below it. Its called the ceramic league. You won't see it ingame because they play for them alone. Don't bother them or they will place missile turrets and BC beside you and take a screenshoot of you with all the beautiful stuff around you.
The moment when Harstem watches him drop a dozen MULEs, then send 6 marines in to fight the zerg army, and realizes this game is going to go on for several more hours at least. Then, for just a few seconds, he thinks about taking a nap.
This made me laugh so much that I was afraid I was gonna wake my kid. The first two nydus killed me. I was just amazed at how many times I thought this would be over and realized I still had 20 minutes left to watch.
I think they were using the Nydus to provide vision for the next Nydus... Or maybe they were using it as creep tumors? I honestly can't tell... The most difficult thing to understand in the universe is the mental process of an idiot
Omg this is so entertaining, I was already losing it as Harstem lost his sanity, but his disappointed demeanor when the Terran Teleported 20 BCs to defend 5 lings was the last straw for me, I can't contain my laughter.
Watching your initial joy at this game turn to absolute despair as the game broke you is one of that beat and darkest things I’ve witnessed in a long time. Well done.
stumbled onto your channel recently and been watching many of your videos, its awesome to see how much your videos/personality evolved from these earlier videos. Well done.
Dude, I always played SC like this with my friends, except we would be a bit more aggressive and always play on the map where each crystal had 50k minerals, for obvious reasons. And also, we would normally play Protos or Terran as Zergs are clearly inferior race since they don't have the ultimate air unit that would hit both air and ground (Mutas obviously not ultimate). >if anyone is still here, please, say hi Dude, I'm watching it at 4am even though I have work in 4 hours, why someone wouldn't watch it.
really liked ow harstem went from his regular relaxed voice to dying of boredom to being absolutely in despair and you can only pick it up from subtleties
There's a game casted by LAGTV called Will Cheese Fails Biggest Handicap Ever Edition. Summary: A Terran tried to pretend he didn't spawn by floating his command center at the start of the game.... Except, his opponent, with an APM of six, never left his base, and it stayed there for the first half hour of the game. He then re-landed his command center, built an army, and just rolled over his opponent.
Harstem's voice + Winter-level harshness = bliss. Harstem, I hope your impending prescription of antidepressants proves effective. TheSeed, you are my hero for sending this in.
I can't remember the last time i laughed this hard. From both the quality of play and your great commentary. Thank you for the entertainment and the ab workout.
104 comments on 2000 views, this engagement rate is off the hizzy. RUclips, put this guy on everybody's recommended list! But not this video, this was a complete waste of everyone's time.
Thank you for sharing this replay with us, please make it tradition show more of Seeds games each year, I think there is potential there and want to see how he is improving. Thanks once again I like it.
I'm glad I got through this just to hear Harstem roast him so hard. I'm sad he had to do something so painful like watching this replay, but the ending was worth it so much.
This will always be a classic. My first harstem video and boy did i appreciate his patience. This game is like when i play my son and let him build until he's ready to fight lol
27:50 "It is just me talking to myself" Still watching, but I put double speed on YT while you speeded up the game :D You are too quiet in comparison to the game sounds BTW :P
I thought i was gonna watch a game, but nah, its a monologue against a background from a terran airline commercial. Btw did he mute the music or did it just run out? Also hi!
With all the quarantine that's happening in the world, I was looking at RUclips videos to fight off boredom. After watching through this slog, I can't believe I'm still alive. I've never been so thankful for being alive. It feels like my soul is slowly being dragged out of my body, and I'd wager that you're feeling the same thing. Thank you for the sacrifices Captain.
All of humanity has ended, the world is barren and empty save only Harstem and his SC2 gaming computer. Harstem bends over to pick up his keyboard and his glasses slide off his nose, breaking on the ground. "No!!! There was time! THERE WAS FINALLY TIME!!!"
There's Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning", and there's this video. They stand shoulder-to-shoulder in man's attempts to grapple with despair and suffering, and to experience the meaning of life against a cold and heartless Universe. Thank you, Harstem, for surviving and making your brave contribution to the culture of humanity.
You're a champion for enduring this whole game. I couldn't do it. I had to skip ahead many times. But you watched all of it. And provided commentary. You're not the hero we need, but you're the one we deserve.
-what i thought... "What a rude, arrogant headline" And what I saw... "Oh god, oh...god. how can someone be so terribly bad.That was the prime example of "you're meant for Simcity!"
On man you're sooo funny!! 😂 Said they sent you part 1 of the game and were still playing the second part 😂 plus the roast at the end lmfaoooo. I wonder what league this was tho hahaha.
Hey Harstem, in fact for me as a zerg it was actually helpfull. I as a platinum player never use spellcasters because control issues, but I guess after that video I will probably actually use them against air toss or terran. Parasitic bombs actually deal damage to capital ships as well as ships with low HP, which is sick. Watched a whole game, that death of BCs due to corruptors and parasitic bombs was actually awesome to me. It was like a perfect tutorial on unit compositions to engage those braindead air doom armies. I usually just leave or basetrade when I see that shit.
The one-time Harstem took a page out of wintersc2's handbook, did 6 minutes of a harrowing angry coach video without swearing, and then went on with his day. He even did it without swears, it was pretty crazy.
"I feel like both of them accidentally went to do a multiplayer game"
rofl that comment broke me
The box art follow up got me
Sim city life
And never realized it was multiplayer.
Just wanted to build up by themselves, pacifist RTS style
Watching Harstem slowly lose his mind over the course of 45 minutes has got to be one of the most gratifying experiences I have ever witnessed
Bring the seed back!
Just Yamato the lings!!
It would be, except I was also losing my mind.... This was so weird....
I watched through the end, when do I receive my Order of Valor?
So much pain in his voice. LMAO
"if anyone is still here, please, say hi"
hi
Hi
Hi
Hi
I will say though, I definitely fast forwarded to get to this point. This drug on way too long, lol.
Hi.
What an epic battle. That part where TheSeed not only purposefully, but strategically held back his queens to give the banshees a false sense of accomplishment was really commendable. Some edge of your seat gameplay we had here. A once in a lifetime viewing experience. Truly.
My favorite thing I've heard this week.
"No one know the meaning of life, but I think we can rule out some options. This is one of the options."
Is this series turning into “tricking Harstem into casting stupid stuff”?
Qikun Xiang It always is. I don’t think there is a video in this series which has concluded IMBALANCE, because you can always find mistakes. Having mistakes doesn’t mean your opponent’s race isn’t imba
right on !!

That was the most emotional 47 minutes I think I've ever had to go through. I'm not even sure if I'm crying or laughing right now
i'm laughing.
I watched the entire game.
I think we should appreciate the game knowledge bombs displayed in this game. Not only does the Terran know exactly how many nukes it takes to kill a hatchery, the Zerg metagames him by getting a second lair.
"My vital organs are still working, but it can't be for much longer."
-Harstem
the last 6min where harstem roast the shit out of him 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i was legit crying
6 Minutes? last 40 minutes you mean ;).
I like how at the beginning he says "this is quality, I wanna see more replays like this" and by the end he's lost his mind just watching it
21:19 "He's playing Sims City at this point" hahahaha
Harstems personality is perfect for this series. Just started watching him, he is hilarious. Also this shit makes me feel like I can be gm after not playing since Wings
“It’ wasn’t just regular suck”. “Doh’t ever send me a replay again...”. Bawhahaha, the funny thing is they both sucked!! Loved the last 5 minute roast.
Yeah, if the other one was playing against someone else, he would get about the same level of roasting. He should have won in the first 7-9 minutes.
I'm getting ready to go to bed. I saw the title, and figured "Ah, why not. One quick video before I go to bed." I made a terrible mistake, but I did watch it until the end.
Imagine your one of Europes best players being able to compete with the best in the world and then you find yourself casting that replay :D
"The depressions skyrocketed worldwide because of this game" :):):)
This is the most scathing review I have ever seen
Thought he was reviewing batwomen for a minute there.
thanks for improving my vocabulary
LMFAO I lost it at the box art remark XD
Watching this game was like watching supply depots go to war against overlords. If there wasn't a limit to map resources this would have gone on forever.
Watched whole game, game sounds were too loud when fighting but commentary was awesome. More seed replays but just more fast fwd imo
Speech was absolutely fine.
It was a bit hard to hear Harstem's (honestly brilliant) roasts over the game sound
There was no fighting. What are you talking about.
agree, sometimes can't hear voice
@@Hrummjke agreed
“He could Yamato lings for all I care” - legendary commentary
Replay was sent 2 weeks ago. On April 1st? Was somebody trolling you, Kevin?
"replay was sent 2weeks ago but they are still in game" LOL
Damn. Almost nothing makes me laugh but you made me laugh to tears and made me unable to stand straight. Watching Harstem loose his sanity is just what we need.
Oh and please turn game sounds down a bit - it was hard to hear you over shots and explosions. I couldn't get what you were saying about what you would do after being released from jail.
I was witness to your suffering Harstem. Thank you for your service.
"It must be really difficult living with this low skill" "this is not regular sucking" love it. Want to see more the seed games!

@@Go-ah-oold sadly, the memories of this one are fully intact.
Welcome back, TO BROOOONZE LEEEAGUE HErr... Oops, wrong channel. My bad.
Man he is the ultimate dork now eh?
this was what i thought during the game. He should have send this one to Winter instead of Harstem.
Btw i wachted the video right to the end.
This isn't bronze league skill level mate, this is something below it. Its called the ceramic league. You won't see it ingame because they play for them alone.

@@Lord_Kazzak calling it ceramic is pushing it...that is like wood 3 level play.
What channel?
It's funny, but when one is actually at this level it feels like everything is moving so fast and one can barely keep up :D
41:15 Still here. This is agony. Thank you for your service.
We got flying dragons
Sword ninjas
And terran happy ship
We expanding
Trust me, there's more
How did the exact same comment happen twice lol
@@slimbeatz4125 Trust me, there's more.
That last 5 minutes is the funniest shit I've ever seen in 15 years of watching youtube lol
LOL Kevin watching a replay so bad he loses faith in evolution. 11/10
i come back to this video multiple times a year despite its length, my favourite!
36:45 - 37:07 bottom right corner of the screen. Best part of the game.
allmhuran lolhis face?
The moment when Harstem watches him drop a dozen MULEs, then send 6 marines in to fight the zerg army, and realizes this game is going to go on for several more hours at least. Then, for just a few seconds, he thinks about taking a nap.
I like it when he clicks on the Lab Bot thinking...if this creature becomes sentient it could kill both these players.
This made me laugh so much that I was afraid I was gonna wake my kid. The first two nydus killed me. I was just amazed at how many times I thought this would be over and realized I still had 20 minutes left to watch.
ahah this is basically exactly my thinking

I've watched this twice now. Great reactions from Harstem, this is possibly my favorite video on this channel :)
The back end of this video had me almost die laughing. Good stuff, man.
I watched the entire game. I feel for you man. Your commentary was so entertaining, as was your reaction to... well basically everything going on.
It's insane how good you're video quality has gotten over a year
I can't remember the last time i laughed this hard. From both the quality of play and your great commentary. Thank you for the entertainment and the ab workout.

This had to be some Bronze action.
This reminds me of games I played when I first started playing WOL.
I'm glad I got through this just to hear Harstem roast him so hard. I'm sad he had to do something so painful like watching this replay, but the ending was worth it so much.
"you're starting to doubt reality when you watch a game like this" Hahahahahha

You are too quiet in comparison to the game sounds BTW :P
9:10 he pulled drones to attack banshees. Peak Starcraft
Dude I love this series! I am crying out of too much laughing!
I like that Harstem just slowly dies inside while watching this game
Starts out by pointing out minuscule errors, later he is like "bruh do something"
I thought i was gonna watch a game, but nah, its a monologue against a background from a terran airline commercial. Btw did he mute the music or did it just run out? Also hi!
30:53 the moment that kevin wanted to be a monk at monastery, doing some deep meditation, getting more on mindfulness
Terran happy ship ^^
That nuke at ~ 25:25 or so really sums up this game. The drones trying to kill the Ghosts before they land lol
39:19 zerg has 32 minerals and 0 income, this has to be over
Video is 47 minutes long
Thank you for having the patience to see this train wreck through, you’ve made a fan. This was hilarious!
"you made all of us dumber by watching this" -- so true :)
10:20 i absolutely love how in depth he goes with his metaphors, he just keeps adding to it and adding to it for no reason xddd
Don't watch this! I laughed for 35 minutes straight and now my spouse wants to divorce me ...
I have re-watched the last minutes (the good roasting part) for like 4-5 more times. I can't get enough of this.
With all the quarantine that's happening in the world, I was looking at RUclips videos to fight off boredom. After watching through this slog, I can't believe I'm still alive. I've never been so thankful for being alive. It feels like my soul is slowly being dragged out of my body, and I'd wager that you're feeling the same thing. Thank you for the sacrifices Captain.
3am here in Japan O7
edit：Decided to go to sleep after seen the first nine minutes
Skip to 42:30, that's the greatest part of the game.
All of humanity has ended, the world is barren and empty save only Harstem and his SC2 gaming computer.
Harstem bends over to pick up his keyboard and his glasses slide off his nose, breaking on the ground.
"No!!! There was time! THERE WAS FINALLY TIME!!!"
If I had ladder games like this I'd eat bat soup too.
I literally cried in the end with laughing. I've seen a lot of IIIODIS but this is one of the best.
ingame sound was WAY to loud - it was hard to understand you.
btw worst game ever? xD
Bro... I can't with you 😂. Your commentary is golden. I'm really glad I started following you.
hi, I would like to ask for a refund. 47 mintues of my life :D
🤱🏽
Take a number and get in line buddy ;)
This was one of the funniest matches I have ever seen, great job
There's Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning", and there's this video. They stand shoulder-to-shoulder in man's attempts to grapple with despair and suffering, and to experience the meaning of life against a cold and heartless Universe. Thank you, Harstem, for surviving and making your brave contribution to the culture of humanity.
44:44 xD Harstem after a traumatic experience of watching the replay. I felt that.
This and the Deadward one are the two funniest videos I have seen this year. Keep up the good content.
PS - Wasnt another TheSeed video
the comment on them just wanting to take pictures and being the ones who make the box art made my day
You're a champion for enduring this whole game. I couldn't do it. I had to skip ahead many times. But you watched all of it. And provided commentary.
You're not the hero we need, but you're the one we deserve.
"You made all of us worse by making us look at your replay." I lost my marbles completely by laughing so very hard after this remark.
-what i thought...
"What a rude, arrogant headline"
And what I saw...
"Oh god, oh...god. how can someone be so terribly bad.That was the prime example of "you're meant for Simcity!"
I Don t know why I watched this 9 months later but the commentary was worth it XD
Hi Harstem, I had to wait for a process to finish on my machine so I sat through it with you too. I feel your pain my friend. Its real.
On man you're sooo funny!! 😂 Said they sent you part 1 of the game and were still playing the second part 😂 plus the roast at the end lmfaoooo. I wonder what league this was tho hahaha.
this is so great Harstem! KEEP IT UP!
Hey Harstem, in fact for me as a zerg it was actually helpfull. I as a platinum player never use spellcasters because control issues, but I guess after that video I will probably actually use them against air toss or terran. Parasitic bombs actually deal damage to capital ships as well as ships with low HP, which is sick. Watched a whole game, that death of BCs due to corruptors and parasitic bombs was actually awesome to me.
It was like a perfect tutorial on unit compositions to engage those braindead air doom armies. I usually just leave or basetrade when I see that shit.
28:00: Okay. That is genuinely the most overkill reaction to a 'ling runby I have ever seen.
Hi!
Harstem's endless suffering was a great podcast while I was gaming.
These series are amazing. I love your sense of humor.
@26:10 "Only the Curroptors are fighting, I wonder what the Vipers are waiting for..."
The commentaries are just gold. :D "They are still playing and just send me the first part!"
Dude, I never watched an entire sunglasses ad until your channel. Lol, great job man! 😂
I can't believe I've watched this until the end, as my lifetime is limited. And I'm a big fan of those 10h-Driving-in-the-Rain-Videos ...
legend has it this game is still going on somewhere
The one-time Harstem took a page out of wintersc2's handbook, did 6 minutes of a harrowing angry coach video without swearing, and then went on with his day. He even did it without swears, it was pretty crazy.
I just subbed for this new commedy channel, the ending is so priceless.
