OK here are the lyrics: The early game didn't go so well My roach push got send back to hell But my muta ling harassment did some damage To godness of victory smiled at me I though this MMR was free But then his tier one units kills my broodlords Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA Enjoy this masterpiece :)

When the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Zerg Nation is nearing victory in the War. My Harstem discovered a hero, a probe named Ben And although his fighting skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Ben can save the world.
So far, he's mastered mineralbending and particlebeambending. He still needs to master gasbending and warpinbending, ideally including the advanced technique of cannonrushbending.
So, what you're really saying is, a Zerg who never goes above 60 workers, stays on 3 base until they mine out, and picks the wrong army comp, can STILL make it to Masters! IMBA
That ending might be a bit harsh even though people sending in replays should know they're going to get bullied. I Would love to see a reaction of someone watching Harstem doing an IODIS of them.
What a nice intro song cover. :-) The roasting as crisp as always, but I also like that you give praise when it's deserved. All round great entertainment that needs more recognition.
slightly mean xD i think for his level the zerg did quite ok. He wanted to go broodlord, not lurker. thats why he researched +1 melee. and what do banelings do against archon stalker? I have no idea. Blow up prematurely. He had no Zealots after all. Mb it would have been a good move to kill the Archons with Broodlords and then swarm with Lings.
The sheer fact that he was able to regain control and put himself in a winning position after being completely dominated in the early game, ironically makes for a better case for Zerg being imbalanced in this match up.
24:20 that's fairplay right there, very honorable to let your opponent know that he should prepare himself you know? Give him time to stretch a little, drink some water, message his gf, siege his army. Not very wise though
OMFG, the first two minutes were brilliant, what a great song! And Captain, don't worry, you ARE recognized for your art :) (Which reminds me - I definitly need to gather more Twitch points for this postcard of you - maybe those will be worth millions in the future!)
tbh I honestly felt like this was a really, really good game by both players, with the Zerg simply failing to close the game properly. I honestly enjoyed this way more than I do 80% of the other IODIS's where the performance by the players is either cringeworthy, or it looks like the submission is a troll. Great game!
I agree. Other games are more like Bronze League Heroes. But in this the Zerg did okay...ish. He did some questionable decisions, headbutting through a forcefielded/stasised ramp.
They are skilled players. But they fell asleep at times and didn't do anything right. I don't know what the zerg was doing after his successful attack. It's like he handed the game off to his little brother.
Im about to go to a different city for an internship for 2 months and felt my heart turn upside down when I dropped off my girlfriend at her place before departing. I missed my train because public transport decided that it hated me really badly today and I'm about to punch that idiot that Blocked the escalator during my sprint to the platform. But my god, when you started singing I just couldn't hold back a smile. Thanks for making my day a little bit better.
24:05 @Harstem: The way to pronounce "twelfth" is to say "twelf" and then add a "t". Only make the "t" with the tip of your tongue against your front teeth, instead of behind them.
found you recently, really thankful for my luck this time. great content, love your entertaining personality. also, i get the vibe that you're just a humorous chill dude who likes sc2 (brain attached) which i didnt know i would need right now. thx for making my days better.
Another great IODIS. Good jokes, great editing by our man hamster. Still missing some of those hilarious analogies you sometimes come up with. Keep going. Ik hou van jou :D
Harstem, I love this content and channel. I choose to play Age of Empires over SC2 anymore, but I always come back to the channel to see this personality. In a perfect world that personality would influence multiple game titles but regardless I'm glad it exsists at all. Keep up the videos man they're a gem.
Couldn't resist... The early game didn't go so well My roach push got sent back to hell But my muta-ling harassment did some damage Do gods of victory smile at me I though this MMR was free But then his tier one units killed my broodlords Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA... Next game against the same guy I tell myself oh God oh why? But I embrace my inner zerg and build a 12-pool. I rush him with a zergling flood But he blocks it with one fucking zealot So I pause the game and type this with a caps-lock: Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA... Okey I'm done with this crap I'll pick Protoss and begin to rekt Everybody who meets me on the ladder I'll cannon rush and build only sky Then everybody will see why Playing Toss is plainly easier then sleeping 'Coz Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA... So I proxy a stargate and begin to smile The orcacle's gonna in a while Surely kill at least half of his workers After that he is just sure to fall Then I realize i haven't built a wall Now there are speedlings where there used to be my pylon Zerg is IMBA, Zerg is IMBA Zerg is IMBA, Zerg is IMBA...
Harstem you should just switch to a singing channel (no joke :) Every time you sing, i automatically like the video, whatever is after (even though IODIS deserves 10M views every episode)
I'm not defending his play itself, but this guy lasted well past the 20 minute mark against a decent opponent. I don't know that he earned the "I don't want to ever hear from you again" response, if that gets overused it will lose its value.
What are the ideal support units for BroodLords? I usually go Lurkers but I'd like to try BLs as well Btw, I'M DYING with the music, great content as always
"Oops, I played the wrong chord." The game hasn't even started and already I'm dying.

XD YOU HAVE THE BEST INTROS haha. thank you Harstem, you made me smile
Best intro by far, this channel is growing in quality.
I love it
Made me smile but also cried a little
I wish i could give two likes
This series is legit some of the best content ever to grace the internet.
Top 3 SC2 tracks:
1) "Where's your 2nd Pylon?" - _Winter_
2) "Build a f*cking Orbital!" ‐ _Winter_
3) "Toss is IMBA" - _Harstem_
You're missing Winter's Queens song but this list is great
You can tell this is a zoomer starcraft meme, because nobody remembers my man Temp0
Right when I was starting to skip through the intro you switch it up, you're a genius Kevin
the intro is always my favorite part
Harstem won the EPT cup and a Grammy in one week
and the EPT cup was the one that came up as a surprise.
When will the full version of the song be available on Spotify?
Next Thursday is April 1st. You should do one of your losses and declare the opponent imba.
When the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Zerg Nation is nearing victory in the War.
My Harstem discovered a hero, a probe named Ben And although his fighting skills are great, he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save anyone. But I believe Ben can save the world.
So far, he's mastered mineralbending and particlebeambending. He still needs to master gasbending and warpinbending, ideally including the advanced technique of cannonrushbending.
So, what you're really saying is, a Zerg who never goes above 60 workers, stays on 3 base until they mine out, and picks the wrong army comp, can STILL make it to Masters!
IMBA
Yeah holy shit I haven’t played in like a year plus and I was diamond. I feel like I’d be able to win this game.
It's so great that Harstem is supporting Hamster with these vids when he could be blowing up so much bigger with his music career.
That ending might be a bit harsh even though people sending in replays should know they're going to get bullied. I Would love to see a reaction of someone watching Harstem doing an IODIS of them.

@@hatshot6057 The banelings prevent the stalkers from blinking under the broods much better than roach/ravager would.
@@hatshot6057 i think it's mostly the roaches that were the problem. Banes weren't necessary but for the love of god why was he still on roaches?
@@BrEAcHxROWDY yea, pure Roach into Broodlords is like Adept all in into Carrier.
That intro, simply sublime - spiritual almost - and yes, what a fantastic vocal performance.
This channel slowly but surely improves to a music channel.
Keep it going
I recognize your artistic prowess, thanks for naming the legendary probe after me, I fought a lion last week while at work nbd.
The sheer fact that he was able to regain control and put himself in a winning position after being completely dominated in the early game, ironically makes for a better case for Zerg being imbalanced in this match up.
Zerg is IMBA, Zerg is IMBAaaAAaaAa
I'm so glad I make sure to watch every upload, because then I discover golden nuggets like that intro. Very good video!
One minute into the video and it's straight up gold, great job mr big lips
Wow and I thought his content couldn't get better. Man was I wrong. Best RUclipsr I found in the last time. Keep it up. ma neighbour.
The return of midgame review is worthy of a thumbs up on it's own
24:20 that's fairplay right there, very honorable to let your opponent know that he should prepare himself you know? Give him time to stretch a little, drink some water, message his gf, siege his army. Not very wise though
Please sing a new cover every video, captain🙏 seriously if you had an album you can probably market that
You need to let these things happen organically. They aren't as good when forced.
@@caloreen1992 agreed
i don't play StarCraft but still enjoy watching Harstem's videos. Very entertaining.
OMFG, the first two minutes were brilliant, what a great song!
And Captain, don't worry, you ARE recognized for your art :) (Which reminds me - I definitly need to gather more Twitch points for this postcard of you - maybe those will be worth millions in the future!)

Great game!
It was a high MMR game, so both playesr are quite decent and actually know how to micro/macro properly as well.
I agree. Other games are more like Bronze League Heroes. But in this the Zerg did okay...ish. He did some questionable decisions, headbutting through a forcefielded/stasised ramp.
The toss microed better. That balanced the losses and eventually won the game
They are skilled players. But they fell asleep at times and didn't do anything right. I don't know what the zerg was doing after his successful attack. It's like he handed the game off to his little brother.
Harstem I just cannot explain how happy your songs make me. You've quickly become my favourite youtube and please never change.
I know it's been a mainstay of the series but I still really love the art on the imba form.
Im about to go to a different city for an internship for 2 months and felt my heart turn upside down when I dropped off my girlfriend at her place before departing. I missed my train because public transport decided that it hated me really badly today and I'm about to punch that idiot that Blocked the escalator during my sprint to the platform. But my god, when you started singing I just couldn't hold back a smile. Thanks for making my day a little bit better.
when the out of tune harmony came in i bursted out laughing! Toss is imbaa (Aaa-aa-a-aah!)

Where has Harstem been all my life???? This guy is a gem 💎. Would not enjoy sc2 without him
Damn, I had no idea cattlebruisers could shoot while moving. Poor cows, they must be purple after all the bruising.
The song at the front provided me with all the entertainment I needed today
No cap, the Intro was beautiful😍
I think those are the best first two minutes of a video I have seen, so much good content in such little time.
That was unironically good quality music
Harstem you just made my day with the song!!
Anyone else replay 4:25 like 50 times just to hear Harstem say Van Gogh? Dutch sounds so cool
Okay that song at the beginning was insane :D. Huge fan
harstem you have been recognized all across the world, but you are right, it has nothing to do with your artistic abilities
holy crap that intro harstem is a LEGEND
Another great IODIS. Good jokes, great editing by our man hamster. Still missing some of those hilarious analogies you sometimes come up with. Keep going. Ik hou van jou :D
Infinit Gateways? That sounds like a good movie title.
i was obsessed with Harstem before... but after this intro song i am in love
Harstem, I love this content and channel. I choose to play Age of Empires over SC2 anymore, but I always come back to the channel to see this personality. In a perfect world that personality would influence multiple game titles but regardless I'm glad it exsists at all. Keep up the videos man they're a gem.
absolutely love you man
I don’t usually like, but when I do, it’s because Harstem singing the intro card
OK, like for the intro. Maybe I'll watch the rest too though.
i Really like that punching maschine part, it was the Best of the Video!
Amazing vocals. Would record album/10
Great song, good progress with ur singing/guitarplay man
I hope some day to called imba in one of these videos, a Starcraft dream
(but have Harstem tell the other party they suck)
After SC2 goes the way of the Blizzard I would still watch any of your stuff for the snarky remarks ;)
Couldn't resist...
The early game didn't go so well
My roach push got sent back to hell
But my muta-ling harassment did some damage
Do gods of victory smile at me
I though this MMR was free
But then his tier one units killed my broodlords
Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA
Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA...
Next game against the same guy
I tell myself oh God oh why?
But I embrace my inner zerg and build a 12-pool.
I rush him with a zergling flood
But he blocks it with one fucking zealot
So I pause the game and type this with a caps-lock:
Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA
Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA...
Okey I'm done with this crap
I'll pick Protoss and begin to rekt
Everybody who meets me on the ladder
I'll cannon rush and build only sky
Then everybody will see why
Playing Toss is plainly easier then sleeping
'Coz Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA
Toss is IMBA, Toss is IMBA...
So I proxy a stargate and begin to smile
The orcacle's gonna in a while
Surely kill at least half of his workers
After that he is just sure to fall
Then I realize i haven't built a wall
Now there are speedlings where there used to be my pylon
Zerg is IMBA, Zerg is IMBA
Zerg is IMBA, Zerg is IMBA...
Hamster, I love that you call them Cattlebruisers!
I concur, ben's are legendary guys...hmu if you wanna do coop commanders
Harstem you should just switch to a singing channel (no joke :)
Every time you sing, i automatically like the video, whatever is after (even though IODIS deserves 10M views every episode)
Man that song. I'm voting for you in the midterms.
Always a good day when there's two barcodes
Ravagers like bathing in psionic energy. It makes them feel excited for battle
I'm not defending his play itself, but this guy lasted well past the 20 minute mark against a decent opponent. I don't know that he earned the "I don't want to ever hear from you again" response, if that gets overused it will lose its value.
How could just one man have all that talent
being a toss is imba in more ways than just starcraft
all the best to you Harstem.
just wanted to say that :)
You should review more PvP replays in this "Is It Imba Or Do I Suck" series!
My man, you have the voice of an angel!
You know you are screwed when you are delivering POSTS in the jungle.
This is the content I'm here for!
What are the ideal support units for BroodLords? I usually go Lurkers but I'd like to try BLs as well
Btw, I'M DYING with the music, great content as always
sincerely, your content is amazing
You are a legend 😆 Still rofling from the intro song
That intro: if i could sub twice i would.
that opening song moved me to tears
Wow! What a fantastic vocal performance!
GG the intro so good xD
Mister, you are wonderful
I think Vincent would have been happy with 56k subscribers.
Best cover ever. Pleas do the whole song at some stage.
Every week, you deliver a better video for each week. HOW DO YOU DO IT?
Smashed like just cuz of the intro song.
Spectacular singing performance.
10/10 and I haven’t even made it past the intro
Very much enjoyed the singing/guitar intro
I want a compilation of harstem doing stuff like his intro. I'm dying 😂😂😂
Based on Harstem's Starry Starry Night analogy, I imagine that he wouldn't be a big fan of L.H.O.O.Q.
Should have 1 million subs no doubt
That song. That alone deserves all the likes! :D
Beautiful intro cap
Intro song was amazing man! :D
I would like this 10 times for the song alone if i could
I don't get why the bendling was a good call. There is a lot of stalker and immo and bend are just not effecttive against unit that are not light
THX Harstme. Love the Inro
tell me you have a record album coming out! Do not disappoint me.
Love the intro!
Have you stopped making Archon With Metal League videos or are there more on the way which you haven't uploaded?
Are you more a fan of Jeff Buckley's version of hallelujah than Cohen's Harstem?
