Hi, Harstam. I'm a big fan of yours. TVZ. I feel very unfair. I've been preventing him from developing fungal carpet tumors. My evil fire also burned a lot of fungal carpets. After the first attack, I went back to gather troops to fight the second attack. I played a double line. I knocked out one of his bases, although the main force of the other half was gone. It changed almost the same. However, his soldiers made up too fast and I couldn't stop it at all. It's unfair. If it is my problem, please teach me how to face these things. I absolutely have zero idea what you just said. None. I don't even know what matchup. Well, you said TVZ after saying I'm a big fan of yours, comma TVZ. And then period. I feel very unfair. I just kind of want to reject this one already. Hamster. Wrap it up. Poop. You suck. I was kidding. All right. I guess what he's saying is let's just try to decipher this message for a bit. I think what he means is that my evil fire is probably Hallions. So Helians managed to burn a lot of creep tumors. After his first attack, he went back to gather up more forces for a second attack. He played a double line. He multitasked. He knocked out one of his bases. Well, that was pretty obvious. Although the main force of the other half was gone. I guess the other half is his opponent. it changed almost the same probably means it changed nothing his soldiers remaxed too fast and he couldn't stop it at all so I guess the problem is that his opponent can remix too fast and produce too quickly got sent in from the Chinese server a master's player he has a name that oh I do not read Chinese so I can I don't know what it says 4.2k MMR it's gonna be on death aura and it's gonna be One hell of a replay I can feel it already. In the bottom left we have our man, well the subject, our Terran player, the man who is here with the evil fire, trying to destroy the fungle carpet, tumours. The red Terran. All right, in the bottom right we have IG Zau, which is the Zerg for today. I'm curious to see what we have. I'm really, I'm looking forward to this. The Chinese replays, not only do they always have great descriptions. They tend to be very very, very good. The Chinese server is a server that I, you know, I'd like to get a closer look at at times because these guys, they know how to play. It's of course not weird as one of the greatest military strategist of all time comes out of China. Sun Tzu is a world famous book, The Art of War, appear weak when you're strong, appear strong when you are weak. And loads of other, you know solid solid words of advice can be applied to starcraft let's see if our Terran friend also read the art of war or if you read the art of sucking which also is an interesting book do not buy that if you're below 18 um barracks uh i think this was a barracks first barracks first yeah barracks first depot and we have just a standard hatch first on the other side of the map so looking pretty solid here for opener wise you know just just your your your standard openers for for both players i don't mind this there's no s evi v scout but you don't need the s evi v scout every single game i'm not going to complain about not s evi scouting you know it's just the decision you make you want more money you don't as a v scout you know good for you i'm not going to complain about that if you like cash if you like the money you like a little bit of risk yeah don't siv scout you know where I'm not going to blame you for that. You know, I don't probe scout half of my games. It's just to show some dominance, showing that you're not afraid. I think that's a good play. It's a good play. See what it's going to do with the Reapers? Even going to keep the Reaper, is he going to keep it at home? We're just going to straight across the map. Straight across the map. No half-mashers here. She's just going to bang. Bang it out and then move. I like that. I do like that. Doesn't take the speed zones. You know, this guy just wants to take the long way around. To bottle whiskey for the way. He doesn't even need no sweet company. And he's living today. Leaving today. What do you say? And his Reaper's not going to be gone. Hopefully. Trows a grenade. Gets a drone. That's a good start. That's a good start. I like this. I like this. Start attacking the lings as well and piss us up. This is a good start. Not very often do you see people get a drone. Follow up at home is second gas factory. Barracks as well and orbital finishing up. Reap-Otakes out a creep tumor as well. What is this? Creep tumor and a drone. This is a very valuable Reaper over here. Look at this guy. It's the MVP so far of this game. It's looking healthy as well. Just healing up over here by himself in the corner. Hop one HP every half a second or something like that. It's going to go in for the second tumor most likely. Look at him. Oh, he sees it go down. He sees it go down. He sees it. whoop right clicks it throws the grenade takes the tumor loses his life not quite worth it of course but i mean he did a good job you know you you take a risk you know this guy he likes taking risk you know we we can see that already we can see that this this Terran players is not he's not a scare he's not a scared one he when he when he goes to an amusement park he goes into all the roller coasters you know he's he likes to live on the edge 4 Depot is a little bit too quick 5th Depot is way too quick 46 out of 62 is not quite what you need but I mean it's I'm not gonna it's better than being supply blocked you know we've had a pro player E Laser who was building 19 overlords at the 5 minute mark so it never be supply block again you'd send out your first void ray kill 4 overlords and watch the replay so he still had like 20 oversupply like what the hell is this creep tumors being thrown down get taken out so Actually, a lot of the fungal carpet is being taken out here by the evil fire. As this overlord gets taken out by, I guess it was this marine as well. Now, I did spot that there was cloak banshee on the way, so you shouldn't be able to do too much with these individual banshees. When you get spotted with cloak banshee, something that I think is, in general, very common at the moment, even if you don't get spotted, but it's also just very, very good, is to save up two banshees and then go in with two at the same time, because usually the spores or the overseer, well, it's going to be spores most likely, are going to be in time for that single banshee, and you're not going to be able to do very much with that first banshee, even though it has cloak, because, I mean, you got spotted, unless the opponent actually has no grain, you shouldn't be capable of getting any real damage there. Third C is he on the way, barracks three and two, two and three on the way as well. So you see four cars stay at home, four cars on the other side of the map. The Benchie flies in, it's going to get two drones for free, then decides to take a couple of shots to the head as well. I mean, why not? Two workers, I really think saving it up would have been better here, or just go for one worker and then run away again because I think that one worker was free damage. Now, he took so much damage here. It's going to be hard to go in later on. And once you have two Banshees, it just becomes way easier to one shot. drone. Well, it just becomes possible. If you have one Benchie, it's literally impossible to one shot a worker. Now this Benchie is doing a little bit of work still in vision range of the Spore. So honestly not the hottest control on these Banshees. Yeah, it's just going to lose it there, I guess. All right, Benchie goes down, flies into Spar of the Spore. Without overseers, you never really should be capable of losing banshees, but control not looking too hot. However, the creepy Nile is looking pretty hot. I am liking. the creep denial here we see a lot of tumors going down already i think we see maybe four or five seven tumors going down the banshee goes back in here so this bens she's actually going to be able to do a little bit of extra damage here as well uh gets what three more three more workers these helions are still all alive as well should be careful though don't really want to be losing that or even thanking any damage armory goes down stim has to finished up already combat shield hasn't started yet and the There's no real rally point on these marines and tanks. We see a supply drop being utilized. Now all of this is honestly sure it isn't great, but it isn't the worst thing. As long as eventually you do start your stim, I can kind of accept this, you know. The opponent is building two macro hatches in the main. It's not too keen on injecting it seems like. Overall, I think this is not a bad situation for the Terran. If I'm a Terran here, I'm going to be pretty freaking happy. We can repair our cars, we can move out with a little bit of a tank boot and we have two tanks. And yeah, it's just all around looking pretty freaking solid in position for the Ling run by. Hallion control, not brilliant, but, okay, lost, I think lost five aliens there. At least maybe he lost one before. There's a lot of aliens for against this many lings. Yeah, that's a bit painful. But we're still in an okay spot. Okay, first, sure it hits about a minute late sure he completely forgot about combat shield sure to two hasn't started immediately and he starts with armor rather than attack which is definitely not the play so it's not perfect okay but no one is perfect to be fair the Terran here really is is very far from perfect but let's just give him this okay plus two starts up sure combat shield is should have been done already at this point and hasn't started yet. Overstimming. Hello? What's this guy defending? He's holding the backline. In case there's a flank, he will die first. I don't even think they're in range of each other. He's like, if there's like two lings attacking here, this guy won't even be able to cover. This tank is defending absolutely nothing. He's vulnerable to everything, defends nothing. honestly at this point you might as well not take it you know this guy is just stay if you if you don't want to join in on the fight you just don't show up you know is the guy when there's riots against the police or something like that he's the guy in the back you know just just just just saying things whispering things like i don't like you guys i'm rioting too like just just just stay at home like you don't you don't have to be a bad guy you can you can do what you are just just the perfect spot for you is right over here, you know, maybe even a bit further to the back. So whenever this area, when there's lings over here, you can do some work, but don't pretend, don't join the forces, you know, like you don't want to be sent out. Just go home. This tank is completely useless, okay? It should be over here, or maybe even a bit over here. It kind of covers the front line, covers these Marines, covers this tank. Actually, can maybe shoot at a potential flank. This is pathetic. So we have these marines who are heavy, heavy stim addicts, completely over stimmed. Single bainling would be able to take all of the mouth. Luckily here, for our Terran player, it hasn't happened. Kills a lot of creep tumors though, only loses a single tank. And if he packs up now and takes this bad boy with him, I'm not even going to complain too much about this. You know, this wasn't a great fight, but he cleared a bit of creep. He only lost a single tank you can just pack up go home for cc on the way second factory on the way as well and he decided you know what perhaps getting those shields on my marines isn't too bad because i keep stimming again and again and again and i kind of would like them to be able to tank a bailing show at some point in their life so yeah i i do like i do like that a lot second factory on the way honestly the theory behind this is all proper right you're going to be playing five racks into double factory fourth cc two to upgrade what is This barracks musicianing. But you know what's possible? Is there a setting in StarCraft? I'm going to show you guys this setting. The setting is the... Where is that? The mouse and keyword is the mouse scroll speed. I think this guy has the scroll speed all the way to 100. And whenever he touches the edges, it just flies across the map. And so what happens is he goes into one of his bases, right? He goes over here, it's like, okay, selects his worker, clicks the build button. He has the barracks and actually goes over here. He's like, oh, barracks over here. Because his building positioning is just, this is not SimCity. Like, if this guy was a city planner, the hospital would be like 15 kilometers away from the city center because his mouse just went like this to the corner of the map again and again. like there's absolutely no logic like this cc what is this cc doing usually you build it over here second factory is supposed to be over here like you build your first barracks is at the ramp this is the only building that is in the correct position and the ebay's i guess i'm surprised that he managed to land the cc's in the correct spot because holy crap this guy has absolutely no clue uh of any type of city planning please i i hope to god for for the future of china Now, this man is never going to get a job as a potential city planner. That would not be good. So this is the double line he was talking about. We have that little bit of multitasking. He's doing a good job, honestly. Even without combat shield, he's picking stuff up. He's relatively quick, I think, at least. Yeah, he's fast, you know. 300 apm. As a turn, that's not bad at all. We have some unseged shenanigans here. He's going to seat them all in the same spot. Not a big fan of this. against ravagers because bios can usually kind of, well, if the Zerg would decide the bile, could do something about that. Half of the Marine Force is very focused on taking out these extractors while the rest of the army is being taken out. I guess the main priority here was ensuring that this hatchery almost goes down. Does take out this hatchery? I like that he shut down an extractor, half an extractor, like 90% of this hatchery as well. like you always got a kind of imagine in these scenarios is what would happen if that DPS was focused on the units okay so if you have a ravager that's what like 120 120 HP right yeah 120 HP on a ravager this hatchery is like 1500 he just basically he focused like nine ravagers down but instead he almost got a got a hatchery and same with this extractor like this extractor tends of like I think it's 500 HP right yeah 500 HP, he killed one, the other one is halfway down. Like, that's another three, four Reviters. Like, he probably would have just straight up won the fight. Now, it's still not bad because he took out the base. He has his own fourth base. His worker production has been a bit mediocre, but he has a good seeded up position here that should never be capable of being broken. I mean, he's up like 20 army supply. He has two-two upgrades, three-three on the way. I'm completely happy with this. He sees the move out from his opponent. He decides to counter-attack, and then you just kind of defend your seat's position. Or you move out on the map with all of your units unseached into banlings after you spot what's happening. He loses half of his army, he's like, hey, I think I can give you the other half as well. Yeah, he's kind of right about that. He's giving the other half of his army. He literally just lost 60 army supply for absolutely no reason. This absolutely makes no sense. This made no sense. You know what I think happened here? I feel like he's once done this before, you know? This fight that he did over here just now, he's had this before and he won it. And this is kind of what we call a dumb decision, okay? And this is based on a prior experience. And I think this is actually called the survivor bias. So what happens is people that have something good happen to them, or they just survive in general. That's why it's called survivor bias. They think that every decision that led up to that good thing was a good decision because the outcome was good, right? But that's not true. And I'm going to illustrate that with an analogy. Imagine you're into stocks, okay? And in order to decide what stock you're going to take, what you do is you go to your local, zoo, you start taunting the monkeys until they throw poop at you, and then you calculate the speed of the poop, and based on the speed of the poop slung at you by the monkeys in your local zoo, with a formula, you decide which stock to pick, and you pick a stock that rises a lot, and you go, see, the method works. But that's not quite how it works, my friend. Like, everything leading up to your decision was incorrect. the fact that you got the correct outcome doesn't necessarily mean that the process going towards that decision was correct and that's what you did here you already had this happen before but in reality you just had some monkeys throw poop at you and that's not the proper way to play starcraft um so i had to go very deep for that one um planetary fortress on the fort base i do like that even even you Even though that fight was god-awful, the situation still is somewhat manageable. The creep isn't great. Really, he truly has been doing a great job at kind of clearing creep in the early game. There's only four bases for this. He does the same thing again. But does he keep moving into the open space, the Siege his tank. He's like, I like defensive jokes, but you know, it would be better if the Zerg could just surround me and all of his units would be useful. It's very inclusive. I have to admit our good Terran friend over here, but not really the proper way to play. He's going to end up losing this planetary, but the Zerg is going to pay a big and hefty fine for that in losing his entire army. And honestly, they're both kind of throwing the game onto each other. Like, I wouldn't be surprised if either of these guys was baseball players, because they're extremely good at throwing. We have 3-3 about to finish up, and now that he's won a fight, our good Chinese Terran decides it's time to move out once again. 28 Marines, three marauders, three tanks as well. I'm kind of a fan of this. I'm a fan of this move out, okay? If he micros this well, he could potentially do something. You know what I'd like even more? If you just loads up like two metaphics and just goes to this area or something like that, there's almost no creep on that left side. And if you check, there's no fifth base over here. Maybe there's a fifth base over here. 4base versus 4 base tends to be quite beneficial for Terran. Did I lower the speed of the game? Accidentally, I think I had, yeah, nice. It's going to be one hell of an episode then. It's like twice as long as usual. Drilling clause starts for the currently zero mines, but honestly I don't mind it either because against big Ling bane count, getting a couple of mines can be quite useful. So if he eventually throws this onto a reactor or he throws this one onto a reactor, that actually could be kind of beneficial. We have a link run by, we have a link Bane run by being set up. This Zurich is playing well as well by the way. This is not a bad game. This was a master's game for a point two, but these guys are making very solid plays all the way throughout. I like to see it, you know, you love to see it even. The only problem right now for the Terran here is that the Zerkes is kind of outmining him. This is a good position. Now this is proper... Well, let's ignore these two tanks on the right side. Let's pretend that didn't happen. Okay, just make my camera a bit bigger so we don't. see that. Did this fight actually wasn't too bad. Sure he lost a crap ton of workers, but the way that he did this fight, he actually stayed in a defensive position. Also, okay, this is pissing off. Why every single time that he sees he's being attacked? He decides now is a great time to go and deny some creep on the other side of the map. Like, this is fine if you're up 40 supply, or you know you're going to absolutely blast a fight, but if the fights are as tight as this, you're going to need every single unit you can at home buddy like you're just going to need it how many workers did he only lost 25 workers which means he didn't really build that many workers overall and he's been very bad at rebuilding workers as well also his gas income is plenty you know like yes he is yeah just do you think this guy just does it automatically or actually looked at his at his resource tab was like 2.8k gas huh i think this with my 48 SUVs i might be going into a late game It might be best if I add two extra refineries here on the third. I'm surprised he hasn't rebuilt this one yet, but I see the SCV is already ready, ready, ready and in position, ready to go. There's an orbital here. Wait, what? Why would he build an orbital here? He keeps getting attacked into position by pure Ling Bane. You're going to get an orbital on your fortbase, buddy. I thought he flew over the main for a second, but no, that actually was, that should have been a planetary. So, okay, he's going to get his reactor now. I like that. It's going to be going into mites. He's taking defensive positions. All he needs is a little bit of counter-attack, a counter-harass on the other side. And he needs to increase his marauder production. He built some barracks over here. I like that as well. I actually kind of like the move this guy is making here. And these bailings are trying their absolute best to go to get to these rocks, but these lings are just kind of denying them. That's just sad. That's just sad. Can I take the fifth base with the orbital from the main? Income is pretty far behind here for the Tarrant. Once again, one of the tanks not sieged up. But Zerg is trying to look for an angle. It's not really going to be able to find it. I don't think, at least. I don't think he's going to be able to find it. Except I guess on this fifth base, but yeah, there's really not much to defend. Tank once again, not siege up. Hello? What are these splits? What are these splits? Okay, quick tip. If your opponent has banlings, which for the people not aware, explode on your units, the thing you don't want to do is you don't want to run forward into that. You want to be running back, kiting towards your tanks. Now, not all tanks are in position, but it's to be expected, right? You have to cover a big area here. What can help is a sensor tower, which is practically MEPAC, and it sees where your opponent is attacking. What you don't want to do is you see the bailings come in and then run towards them? Yeah, you'll lose the fight. Like, these ultras didn't even do any damage. You just literally ran into banlings. Gigi. Overall, units lost. still in favor of the Terran, even after those fights. I think, if anything, my friend, you might have been the broken race. Like, okay, let's, let's just, let's just go over this. Real slow and easy, okay? You said, you said, you cleared a lot of creep. That's correct. You cleared a lot of creep. You took out the base. That's true as well. Let's not forget about the, about maybe 1600 damage that you put on the extractor and, like, three-fourth of another, hatchery as well which probably would have straight up on you the game the forgetting of combat shield the initial forgetting of the plus to attack the the weird attack you know the the the monkey throwing poop at you in the middle of the map like i have absolutely no clue what you were doing there you kept taking terrible fight after terrible fight and somehow you're still up in units lost my friend i think the issue is absolutely not with Zerg being able to reproduce so fast It's just with you being terrible at taking fights. Like, Sun Tzu is looking at this and he's going to be real upset. You're a poor military strategist. And not only that, my friend, you also suck. And that's the way it has to be sometimes. All right.

Hi, Harstam. Thank you for picking this replay. I'd like to issue a formal complaint about two base terrans, specifically against the composition that the user Quackan, Mann, used in my recent letter match on 1115am, January 19th, 2021 on the lettermap Death Houra in gold MMR on the NA server. Medevacs, Marines, marauders, siege tanks and SCVs were all he made. In the attached replay, I had far superior economy, 7 bases to 2. And although I lost, I had more economy than the Terran throughout the entire game, with a more army supply, and yet I still lost. I had an unit composition that was supposed to counter this Inba composition using storms, and even Bill DTs to abuse the fact that he was on two bases, and therefore should be lacking scans. I do admit that I am terrible at the game and wasn't using the full extent of my income and getting supplied blocks several times, but there should be no scenario I should lose to a player who mines out two bases, stays on 30 SUV, flows his main for three minutes straight with no threat inside it, or making as many men. mistakes is this guy. I even sent several waves of harassment charlesles. And I would have won the game around the 22 minute mark where my charlors kill his third, which he built 15 minutes into the game and proceed to destroy the supply deep bow at his natural. Then kill it and all the SUV. Then he defends zealous with SUVs by repairing his buildings. Had he not used his unbalanced mechanic, I would have won the game there. At that point, he has 165 minutes. Yeah, right. We get it. I sincerely thank you for your hell. That's like, this guy wrote a freaking book, what the hell, dude. It's a small form. This is supposed to be a 25 second second. You're ruining my show. Basically, he thinks Terran is imbalanced because he lost the Taron while he was seven base while his opponent was two days. Now he had these situations before where people tell me, hey Kevin, I was on seven base and my opponent only on two. And then I watched the replay and they were like on three. and a half basis and their opponent was on three and then they're surprised oh i didn't win this game well yeah you weren't actually that far ahead so we'll see if this is going to be any different now let's keep in mind this is cold leak mmr okay um so it's not going to be the tightest game most likely but it still will be fun to to have a look exactly what goes down uh down here in the in the underground the caves the caves of the caves are necessarily on the ground the tunnels That's where they sit, the gold players, way under where the normal people walk. It starts pretty normal, honestly. Gate at the ramp is not necessary. This is something I see a lot with people that they've heard about walling, but they're not sure in what matchup and how to do it. So just kind of always build a gate at the ramp, which is not very useful in PVT and PVZ. PVZ, obviously, you wall downstairs. PVP you wall upstairs. But with two gateways and pvt, you either wall the Reaper ramp, you go downstairs or you just put it right next to your mineral line It's playing a build order though, which is nice to see. So it's going to be going 16 gate 20 Nexus which is actually a very standard build order like it's just going to be your your normal one gate expand the opponent is doing a build order that Well, I am not completely familiar with but maybe this is something new. Timings look relatively tight on the factory so I'm not gonna complain. Nexus, Cybercor, yeah, that Krono isn't supposed to be there because you need a simulator and pylon. Otherwise you're just gonna get supply blocked, which is exactly what's going to happen at this point. He also forgets his... Wait what? This is the one, this is the guy, who they watched one of my videos before with a build order and after a minute and a half they went i think i got the grasp of this i think i think i can play this how hard can this really be and then they followed up by getting supply block for 25 seconds and adding a second gate before he gets his first units from his initial gateway I don't know what this is, but dang, am I looking forward to this game right now? Okay, the reason I laugh is because I already know the timing on these gates means it's never going to be used before warpgate. None of these gates. Maybe one of them will build like a unit. Maybe he'll build one unit each. But it's completely useless to get the gates this early. This money could have been invested in something useful and nice, like faster probes, faster tech. Because pre-warp gate, your gateway 2 and 3 should never really be building anything. You can just do that from a single gate. All your gateway units in this matchup can just come initially from a single gate. The opponent is forgetting to build a reactor, but we can live with that. Okay, look, this second unit here could have just been built from the first gate if he started building units immediately. but instead he's doing like this weird staggered pattern. I can get four gateway units out out of a single gateway, three warpgate, and my warp gate would be finishing at around this point, like 350. So he's already laid with warp gate and he's going to get the exact same amount of units, which just means what he's doing sucks. I like the batteries here. Actually, he scouts, hey, there's no natural yet. Why would I get a third base now? Why would I continue with anything else? I want batteries. I'm probably going to be under attack. I think that's 100% the correct call. I'm pretty happy with that. This opponent is playing a game of the Flores Lava and loads everything up in this Medivac. Just drops into the natural... I mean this should never really work. It's just not enough units. There's batteries here. Can even use a super battery if he wants to on one of these two. There we go. He's not going to even lose any real... and any real HP. Just going to be shields for now. A little bit of a supply block, but honestly in my mind this game is completely over at this point. We're now at the stage in the game where if this was me against any player in the world, I'd be comfortable to call this game 100% win for me. Like, it tosses up 20 supply, or 20 workers. You have batteries for gas against a guy that is on two barracks, no stim, no tech lab. he does have plus one for four marines that's got to be one of the more useless upgrades I've seen but yeah this is this is just really really good for the Protoss right now and all all you need to do at this point as a toss is probably just get charged blink is also fine and then just get a bunch of gates continue building units and I don't really see a way for you to lose honestly but our man Aristal might might be making some some interesting place so what's his scouting info okay he lost his probe at some point and then he decided that scouting is it's pretty much for losers at this point he's just gonna sit back get a third base extra gas is going he's on what three gateways two forges templar archives i wouldn't mind if he adds like three gateways here starts his one one upgrades and throws down a couple of krona boost on this on this twilight council He's literally doubling his opponent's worker count. I have a feeling he might not have been lying about the seven against two base. God, that would be something. He's playing, what, four racks? Tank upgrades, okay. I love a tank position here, very far to the front. Kind of like a campaign, you know, truly like an outpost. Not great, but just give me that campaign feeling. No fourth base yet. No real scouting either, still by Aristotle. So he's completely blind about what's going on. He's absolutely zero idea. No clue about the unit composition. In theory, he doesn't even really know he spawned here. If he didn't know the map well, he could probably think that the base is here. I guess he did see something come down here, but he's absolutely zero info, which is fantastic. He's getting storm as well. It's not bad. Adding extra gateways, it's not bad. Spending his money, it's not bad. Still double work account as well. It's also not bad. but um dark shrine okay this is the dark shrine because he knows his opponent is on two base i feel like this is just one of those things he says you know he's he's just trying to justify it any way possible it's like i i i build a dark shrine because he's on two base and i could force out scans then if he's behind in a game it's i build a dark frame because i was behind and if he's ahead in the game oh i build a dark frame because i'm a hat so i thought it might be difficult for him to get detection. If the game is completely even, it's like, well, I thought I wanted to get an edge, so I got some Dark Templars. This is how it starts, you know, and I don't want to use some spells. No feedbacks. Storm wasn't done yet. Yes, there we go. It took his time, double drop doing slightly more than I expected it to. Because half of his army was just standing around now this is going to be a cleanup and let's have a gate count six gateways i need like one more unit here no never mind probes around also fine fourth base on the way 1,400 minerals in the bank could just add like two gateways it's getting charged which i like should start his 2 2 as well this guy's actually playing the floor is lava he just picks up everything i don't think he's actually touched the floor once yet He's like he's the ultimate dropper. Like the multitasking Terran, you know? All of his units always in Metafx. What's her? Arisol. Warps in as a slow pilot. 3DTs. There's a bunch of units here. There's defending this general area. To be fair, I don't even really mind that he's defending this. Look at this. Because he has absolutely zero clue as what's going on. He should be splitting his units. I can't make fun of him for trying to split his units. I can't make fun of him for the complete lack of vision on the map whatsoever. He knows absolutely zero. There could be 10 drops coming here. It could be a drop here, a main army here. Literally every spot is a viable attack path. And Armand Aristall has none of them covered. Just none. He probably thinks it's too much work to actually scout for what's going on. you know when he's like well if I have one weak spot it might be better to just have weak spots everywhere otherwise that the weak spot that single week spot would just get abused but now I have 10 different weeks spots so they can all get abused at the same time that just doesn't make a lot of sense that just doesn't make a lot of sense I don't like that at all Marines worker pool not really a luxury, more a necessity in the situations. Finally comes in action, but only with the DTs. The stalkers and the depth still holding guard over this general area, very important. DTs get scanned out, loses a base to four Marines and two marauders. This is truly something else. He hasn't used to single... How many Templars has he lost? He lost five Templars. I don't think I've seen a single spell yet. No feedback, no storm. Niantos. Nothing. I meant quacki man still chilling on a solid two basis. I'm loving it. DT's starting to move forward as well. It's going to do nothing. It's going to lose all 4Ds. So this is why usually. you send in one DT at a time to ensure that it's safe. That was something else. This entire game so far has been surprise after surprise. We're once again up to three bases as Aristol. I don't understand how his army supply is consistently lower than his opponent, even though his income is literally double the entire game. Still these units haven't touched the ground yet. I don't think they actually... He flies straight into the main base. This is the Artosis pylon of Artosis Pilons, by the way. Boom! Goes down. How many gateways is this? Eight gateways unpowered. Well, these two weren't yet powered. Response is to pull the zealots, obviously. I thought these units are ever going to participate. Maybe getting a couple of stalkers would be nice so you can shoot the main. Matterfax as well. He's not actually gonna do this, is he? We're not actually gonna watch this Benny Hill Sita. This guy is like the dog, you know? where you have your ball and you go like this and then you hide the ball behind your back dogs after you do it once or twice will realize aha the ball is behind the back my man aristol has no clue he's still looking for that ball to this day like where is it if the same thing happens again i'm gonna be so pissed he left some units okay good he left some freaking units just goes back home you know what I don't need to drop in this absolutely blasted this is why you just get a couple of stalkers he even has blink five stalkers would completely destroy it he's getting three nexai at the same time nexus I mean his opponent is still completely dead his one is literally down like six well one gay in bank at this point down 1.2k in income same upgrades smaller army there is nothing here that is looking good for the Terran there's nothing not a single thing here is good for the Terran I can't see it at least on vehicle plating the triple nexus like I have no clue what I'm watching here you could also start us 3 3 couldn't he You know, if I see one more slow warp, and I'm actually going to lose it. So if a pylon is close by a nexus, it provides a quick warp in which takes like three seconds. If the pylon is not nearby in excess or not connected to a nexus, it does the slow warpins. And so far I've really only seen slow warpins. He's actually up 20 supply. It's, or 20 army supply. And like double the worker supply still. Kills the third base. I think this is what he was talking about. Our main man still playing the floor is lava. Queque man. Come on, buddy. Keep going. Dude, we're cheering hard for him. Did it, did it, did it, did it, the only vision that Aristot has is in Nexai. He can also just spread out units, but instead he uses Nexai as a way to scout. Like, these bases are not meant for mining. They're just meant as scouting. He's like, man, it's really difficult for Tops to get any type of vision on the map. But Terran, I just used to use sensor towers. Oh, he did say he used to be a Terran main, by the way, in the description. I can't remember if I mentioned that because it was so freaking long. Maybe he thinks if you get nexus, nexai, you're going to be capable of scanning like you are with Terran. So that's why he's using that as a way of vision. Like, just use your entire... I don't think. he has any control groups at all. He's probably looking around the map for units to drag select and then right click into the opponent's army. Just build a couple of stalkers please. Yes stalkers. Oh, these guys have been here for a long time. How long will this last? Okay, storms, that's good. Feedback, maybe. Like, what's he controlling? It's another good storm actually. His storms have been on point. I mean, so far he's only lost while. he's only lost what five high templars and we've already seen two good storms he's still so far up he's legit floating 3k resources like at any point if he decides to spend half of his money get any upgrades any type of map this is the first time we're moving out he just insta wins Aristot he is legit on six base against two base he's up 50 supply and all of that is workers but he has so much what's the gateway he's 12 gates he could literally just warp in and be maxed basically this is this is a this is a decoy base it's not a you think this is the charge slot harass he was talking about if this is the charge lot i have i'm just constantly stunned by the things i'm trying to connect them back to the email right it's like this makes just no sense at all this is not charred lover ass this is just sacrifice sacrifice to the Terran god 5 dTs come in. The star has been good at scanning so far and as I say that of course he's going to lose every single tank for free. It does end up scanning. There's just no unit control. So I have a couple of working theories here. First of all, I think we might have a player here who doesn't actually use hotkeys. I think he just literally drag selects whatever units he needs. This has never moved. So whenever he warps something, in he immediately kind of selects it right because it's easy and then he'll just click it in or something like that what is the first person from someone like this looked like like there's a scan you see a lot of army let me continue right clicking the tank He sees the zealots here, look at this. The zealots, he's like, well, I am in trouble, but these zealots are kind of defending the left side right now. Maybe he's just a role player, you know? Just wants to defend the castle on the left side with this group. He cares more about the roleplay than he cares about winning this game. But then why would he send in the email? I do believe he's an actual role. He's larping right now. The actual role player live here on IOTIS. All right. He kills the attack, the DTs did their job, but now he's only on four bases. He only has double the worker count. He's only mining three, four hundred minerals more than his opponent. Like these are all things that are an issue. Sure, if we look at the... at the grand scheme of things, he's still light years ahead. But this guy doesn't need to be light years ahead. Like, this guy just needs to be in a completely different dimension if he wants to win a game. Like, he is so insanely bad. He just doesn't fight. He just keeps using DTs again and again and again. He's 3K in the bank. He has 12 gateways. He could spend that twice, and he'd be up like, he had double the army supply he would have double literally double the army supply right here he's he's owning the Terran with a single dt again there's no matterfax here by the way this is an army without matter of x where's the rest of the army it's all spread out that's the issue i have Okay, the initial zealad sacrifice. You think he's going to realize his units here? Like I just don't know what he's... He just keeps standing in single DTs. He didn't build a dark shrine because he thought his opponent wasn't going to have scans. He built a dark shrine because in his eyes, zealots are useless. But that's because he keeps sending in like squads of 20 zealads. Sir, we have enough to surround our enemy. We're outnumbering his forces, 10 to 1. How do you want to continue here? Mement Aristol goes, send in five at a time. Make sure that the opponent can rest in between waves. This is actually how it goes in the campaign and in co-op. Aristot is an actual AI. Like he's just sending in waves of units. I'm surprised he doesn't like, There's no pop-up coming on Quequamon stream. Amon is sending more units to our base. How are we going to be defending this? Like, that's the only thing missing here for Arista. It's just the warning that he's feeding him ten more salads. And this is not the campaign on Bruton, my friends. He is the normal. He's the normal campaign. This is not even hard. It's maybe even casual. He might actually be the casual campaign. Almost got a storm up. Oh, got another storm. I have no clue what happened here. But he has 21 workers left. 3K in the bank and he's down in army supply. If this base bill burns down, I'm going to be so extremely sound. so extremely sad you won't even believe it okay this iron this looks bad okay but in reality he's still on four neck size so he can very rapidly produce more unit or more workers um he has a completely fresh base he still's mining a bit here he has 3k in the bank he never got any upgrades passed to too by the way I love that it's like, you know what, I have 18 workers. My priority is going to be to get another base to really split those workers. Like, this just makes me sad, honestly. That's in a DT again. If I see one more DT go in to clean something up, that your freaking army of 35 zealots could also do. Why is he expanding to four different base at the same time? How about we saturate the one base that we already have? He's like the guy always aiming for more, but never truly using what he already has. He's the ultimate consumer, Aristotau. Like 17 different purses, doesn't use a single one of them. Oh, that's a nice new purse, let me get that one. uses it once. It just doesn't match my other outfits. Gets a new purse, except the purses are bases. There's no such thing as an outfit in Stark. It actually kills this base. Use all of his units to kill an opponent base. Now, let me give you some Starcraft theory here. If you are up to two mining bases, okay, and you have 26 workers, and your opponent has nine workers and has, basically half a mining base. What you can do is nothing. You can just sit back and do nothing. You're actively winning the game by doing nothing, okay? What you can also do is send 25 zealots across the map and then lose every mining base you've ever had to 10 Marines and 8 Mavax. That's also possible. Now, if these were two options in a quiz, I'm pretty... This is celebration time. These two adepts and stalker, they've been here for about 20, well, about 15 minutes, I think. This is the first time they moved. Just to be sacrificed to the gods. It's just sad. Another successful engagement. He is looking at this, right? right? Because where else is he looking? Like, I don't understand how that is possible. How is it possible that you can be looking at something and not wanting to change if the fight is looking so terrible? He's going to probably get the CC as well. You think he knows how to recall? I don't think so. I don't think we're going to see a recall. I'd love to, though. He actually might be losing at this point. And I know that sounds dumb because he still doubled the opponent's supply. But he just lost, I think, three bases to six or seven marines. He gave up. He actually went back. For a second I was going to be afraid. He was actually just going to keep attacking the wall again and again and again. Until he lost every single salad. But no, he sends them back. warps in a d t there's full full scanning full scanning possibility at this point okay so what really is there left let's let's quickly make uh evaluate the situation okay so we have 16 marines one tank one templar 20 zealads three dTs two stalkers he could split his army and win on both sides okay that's important here it's important to realize that he could split his army and win on both sides like probably without even microing all he would need to do is just a move that's literally all he would need to do I... I... Okay. Riddle me this. Why do people do this? I don't mind if you play like this, okay. Power, power to you. If this is your type of that's completely fine. I don't give a crap. But why do you feel the need to send this to me? Honestly, what am I supposed to say here? Like, what even was this? Like, what is this? You queued it up from here. It walks all the way over there to cast a storm eight seconds late. There's no upgrades or there's no control groups. You forgot to upgrade for 15 minutes. Like, what do you expect me to do here? I just don't understand why I get this. Like, you're double supply. Why don't you just aim move? He's still winning so hard. That's the worst part. He's like light years ahead. And I know he's going to lose this somehow. I think I could legit win this game with my eyes closed. And my opponent would be beyond. Like, all you need to do is find the F2 button and you can just aim off on the mini map and you'll win. It's not actually possible to lose this game. It's also absolutely fantastic that the first time he starts spreading out his units, is by the time that all he needs to do is defend his base. I feel like this would be the perfect replay. If you have just any type of player, it doesn't matter if you're new or old. It's like if you really want to know what you want to do in a game, you just watch this game and do the exact opposite, every single action he makes. Like just every single action, do the complete opposite. Because holy crap, this is awful. I love to stare him by the way. Like his passion for dropping is truly showing. It's something I can appreciate. This man just has one passion. That's to load up the units and then drop them again and load them up and just to drop them again. Okay, this move, okay, this actually does it for me. I'm not sure if I want to finish it. Just appreciate the brilliance here, okay? I'm going to actually take an alternative angle. He is being dropped. His army consists of mainly zealots. And his response is to build a pylon here to ensure that the zealots go in one by one, rather than five at a time. Look at this. He creates a choke for himself because he didn't think the game would be hard enough if that choke wasn't there. This is beautiful. Did you sacrifice his Templar? He actually... man, he's actually winning this fight. I think he just sacrifices his Templar. This is something else. We're in Nexus? Into the nose, out through the mouth. Holy crap. My blood pressure is actually insane right now. Like this is not good for me guys. This is shaving years of my life, this single game. single game. This should come with like a warning with a warning like cigarettes, you know. Smoking kills. Like Aristol is going to be the biggest killer. There's going to be like one of these big researchers in like different populations and people who were subscribed to my YouTube channel will just die 15 years earlier all because of this single game. This is actually Actually, I don't even know how... I... I'm gonna do the responsible thing. At the end of this video, after everything is said and done, I'll give all of you guys a two and a half minute meditational exercise, okay? We'll just do it together. Let me make sure that, you know, we can get back to normal levels, normal levels in her head, our brain doesn't explode. our heart doesn't start pounding so fast out of frustration that it might actually burn a hole in our chest. Okay, if we once again honestly evaluate this position, we have Quequaman who is mining zero. Okay, we have an income of zero. We have Aristotel who has an income of 1,000. Which means every minute this game lands. he's gonna get 10 zealots okay that's the theory here well if he would repower these gates versus units oh he still has some spread out this is great all he needs to do is defend this base okay if this base stays alive he actually can't lose it's not possible well theory it's not possible so far aristol has been showing me again and again that it completely is possible How about we build a pilot? What is he doing? I'm just so curious. You know what I really need right now? It's more workers. Because I have a single mining base. How is this the play? He's seeing that there's no expansions of his opponent. He's actively realizing that he... you have vision everywhere at this one how is the play here to build two more next eye it's like his opponent is on his last legs like this is it you know all you need to do is not die and you're gonna be like you'll actually just win the game and what does he do just builds two more next eye Just built some pilots, please. I still have absolutely no clue how he's going to lose this game. He could... He could literally aim of his opponent at this point as well. Don't forget, the army supply looks big for the Terran, but it's nine Madovacs. He has seven Marines and one tank. Against 10... 45 workers. He's so oversaturated. Okay, this is once again a warning nexus. This is the nexus that says, hey, you need to move to the right side to defend it right now. How does he not have any money? Like where's the money going to? Just more probes? How is that the thing that he really needs right now? He's going to have two mining bases. He has 45 workers. He's massively oversaturated here. He's long distance mining. He pulls the probes. That's something. He's actually losing this game. He's actually unironically losing this game. I just can't believe it. I just actually can't believe it. It's getting dropped again. These drops, man, I'd be going bananas if I was Aristotle at this point. I just don't... I have no worse for this. He's not even losing still, by the way. Like, it's actually still playable. He can just get Templar. If he gets too Templar out, who he warped something in. two stalkers, where did he warp them in? Over here, smart. Got a pile on here, but I'm just gonna follow him right now. What is the play here? Is he attacking? Sees a zealots, he's a zealotness and I won't need that. Stalkers? Nah, just doing a small attack. I'm gonna still leave like four, he's 48 workers against four, 50 workers against four. How many workers died this game? Holy crap. Oh God. What is the units lost? He just isn't looking. He's an ostrich. If I don't see it happening, it's not happening. He's an actual ostrich. So far, he's been an AI, an ostrich. I feel like I called him another thing as well, but I can't remember what. This is pure insanity. This is what pure insanity is like. It just starts expanding to the right side. He's actually lost the game at this point now. Right now, the game is actually over. He actually lost. It's Marines in the main base? It's... I can't believe. this. I don't think I've ever seen this in a PVT before in my life. Because A-moving is going to get you better ratio. Like actually, it's just not possible. I just never seen it. Let's just repeat this part up a bit. Oh, here we go. Final fight. That's it. He has no units. The thing is, he doesn't know that he has no units, because he never has them hotkeyed anyway. What? He's getting a Stargate? Probably, he's like, you know what the issue here is? It's the drops. The drops is the issue. That's really what got me. Not the trace, it's the drops. The drops got me good. Oh my god. You gotta be kidding. You actually gotta be kidding. He's building a Stargate, 35 minutes in the game after being completely abused by drops. For the past 25 minutes of this game. Actually, ever since the start, the first attack, don't forget, hit at 4 minutes with like 4 marines in a tank and a Medivac dropping over here. I remember. Do you remember? Actually mining again. He has no clue that he lost. He's still looking around the map for units, but he can't find them. What actually is he doing at this one? Gigi! That's it! Holy freaking crap dude. Holy crap. My friend said I should have built things that shut up and killed his Menevex, as he had no gas. But I built stalkers and high templars with Storm and still lost the fight. even though I wasn't able to defend my basis properly, I had so much more banked than him that I thought I would win for sure. Okay, even though I wasn't able to defend my basis properly, this sounds like there was a reason why he couldn't defend his basis. That's not what happened, okay? What happened was, is he didn't defend his basis properly. This is like when your teacher asked you why he didn't do your homework and you go, I wasn't able to do my homework. work and then the guy goes why not like did like did something bad happen like were you sick and like no I just wasn't able to do it like I I didn't sit down and I didn't do it I guess that's different you know he's trying to trick us through language but you're not tricking us my friend I almost managed to finish elementary school I know how to read I had so much more bank than him I thought I would win for sure I'm new to pro post as I was previously a Terran main my friend I don't like giving this advice but honestly it might just be best if you go back to Terran there's no no future for you in this race or perhaps in this game in general like I love you platonically but this is not it this just is not it whatever you do just enjoy the game by yourself but don't ever ever send me a replay again. I will fly over to where you live. I will find you. And it won't be fun. You suck. And you suck really hard. That's going to be it for today. Don't forget to subscribe and like. Get ready for the meditation. Become comfortable in your chair or your cushion. Perhaps loosening any tight clothing. Removing your glasses and watch. if that is appropriate. Settling in with a relaxed, but erect posture, straight but relaxed. Shoulders, relaxed. Noticing your sit bones on the chair or cushion. Finding a balance between your sit bones. Equal pressure. Centered and balanced. Settling in here now, relaxing. Perhaps moving your upper body slightly forward, then slightly back to find that balanced place in the middle, with no stress on your lower back from being too far forward, and no tension in your abdomen from leaning too far back. Finding that centered, balanced, natural posture, allowing your arms and hands to rest comfortably in your lap, gently closing your eyes now, or if you prefer casting your gaze downwards to the floor, a bit ahead of you. Not really looking at anything, rather partially closing your eyelids, and looking gently with a soft gaze, neutral, relaxed. Allowing your body to become still now as you focus your attention inward, your shoulders, chest and stomach, all relaxing, bringing your awareness now to the breath, not controlling or manipulating the breath in any way, but noticing your breath as it enters through your nose and moves all the way down to your belly and back out again. One breath following the other, the in-bread and the out-bread, following. Noticing how each breath follows one after the other in a never-ending cycle and flow, letting everything else move into the background, allowing the breath be the focus of your awareness. No need to think about how the air moves in and out, just peeing with the breath, allowing the breath to breathe itself. Now, allowing your awareness to rest on the path of the breath that is the most natural and comfortable for you. It might be at the tip of the nose, noticing that the air is cooler on the in-breath and warmer on the out-breath. It might be in the throat area as you feel the breath move through this channel to support your entire body. Don't forget to smash like on this channel as you breathe out. Hit the subscribe button. And don't forget to tell all your friends about it. That's going to be it for today. I hope you're all calm, ready to take on your day. And thanks everyone for watching. Thank you, Aristotle, for sending in the replay. You made me a stronger human by being capable of controlling my own emotion. my own emotions in the face of pure idiocy. I do appreciate you. I see you all next time for a new IOTUS, a new video. Bye-bye.

Dear Harsdam, after showcasing you the incredible strength of Hydra Corruptor, I've got another beautiful game for you. At the highest level, it's popular to play Hydra Lurker, Viper, Infaster, Queen Spore, while doing counter-attacks with Ultra Ling Bane versus Skytos. But because I'm only able to average 350 to 400 APM in the late game, I can't really micro that army well enough. You're not tricking anyone here, Loco. 400 APM? You? Instead, I've been playing Ultra Hydra. microbial shroud slash fungal and it's been working really well in this game I clearly should have switched to lurkers instead of ultras but did he really win because he played better than me or is it imba loco all right a repeat defender here in mr loco himself that's kind of interesting let's have a look to see exactly what's going on here in this game as in the bottom right corner spawning as the blue zur it's going to be imposter which I guess is a loco's smurf account and in the top left spawning as the red proto it is oh oh oh oh it looks like two eyes with the eyebrows above it a little nose in between so he says he's struggling with sky dolls he has a he has a composition against it so we already got a you know we got to we got to give some credit to a local where credit is due of course because it seems like he managed to finally stick with the program. Not only did he start growing in size, but also he finally managed to actually keep it a unit comp, and maybe he can then improve on it. That's, of course, the best way to always improve in StarCraft is rather than swapping your unit composition around 17 times a game because you don't think it's working, you just try with one unit composition, and you can kind of adjust it if you don't think it's working. So he said, hey, hey, Kevin, here I played, what was it, Ultra Hydra, investor. I think I should have added Lurker instead at the end. But can you have a look at it? Or was it imbalanced? And you know, these are fair questions, loco. We're just going to have a look at it. Is Keitel's imbalance? Now, a lot of people struggle with it. We had a real gang earlier this year who struggled with it and complained a little bit. So he even made a video response to the IOTIS. That's the first. But that's not what we're here to talk about. Now we're here to talk about Mr. Loco, opening up with the standard hatchery, scouting around, with his first overlords as any good Zerg would do. We're going to see that there was a forge opener, but I think this probe got pushed away by a drone. Loco is quick on the responses there, so so far, I really just want to say good job, loco. Your opening looks absolutely marvelous. I am a proud Protoss player. I'm a proud content from one Dutch content creator to the other. I say, good job, loco, you're fantastic. So we have the first overlord going in and sees, hey, Canon going up, cybercore, there's about three minutes too late. Hmm, I wonder what this could be. Now, Loco, the smart man that he is, rather than checking the second pylon, he decides to just go back. So if you see a cybercore this late, probably the tech is going to go down the moment the cybercore finishes. And at that point, there can't be a stalker out yet because you see the cybercore finish. Now, this is a tip for people who play against people that play bad build orders. Like this, what OO is doing here, is a bad build order. But that means you should be abusing them. that this overlord should be scouting that Stargate for free because the stalker couldn't have been out yet. So you just go to wherever the second pilot is. You have plenty of time to look for it. And then you can escape to the back of the base. Just a little bit of advice, not going to be the biggest of deals here. I mean, if at the level that Loco is at, which is I think about 5-2, 5.3K MMR, maybe a little higher even, 5-4, I'm not sure. That level, the moment you see a forge in the wall and you see someone build a straight cannon, you know it's going to be aeratols. and Local probably knows it's going to be Airtles at this point already as well. We see the toll open up with a straight Voidre, and I mean the Voidre is just going to get rallied to the Overlord, so Locke is going to get that information eventually, but obviously you'd rather have it sooner rather than later. I like that he's patrolling. He had a fast speed, by the way. Holy crap, 333 has speed finished. He must have pulled in gas. He really cares about getting that speed fast. What you usually do is you rally drones into gas, and you get your speed at like 3.45, 3. You're going to be pretty okay with that most of the time. But loco, no, no, no. He's a fast man. He wants to finish things quick, my friends. He's bang, in and out. He didn't even notice he was there. Yeah, so it gets the speed very, very rapidly. Voidre starts kind of patrolling along the edges of this map, trying to look for perhaps a second overlord. Locke wisely pulls back his overlord that was above his main base. It's like, you know what? there's a void ray here is probably going to be going for double evo chamber okay that's interesting so usually you don't really see double evo chamber because a single void ray isn't necessarily an indicator of like hey i'm going skydolls it could also mean hey i'm following this up with a glaive in and then double evo chamber is kind of useless you want a rotor on against that uh so you kind of want to get a safety rotor on whenever uh any every single game actually has a Zerg just in case of like some delayed glaive depth timing. Loco is going to get that road to iron, albeit a little bit late. I can kind of live with it. As we see, this tool's very focused on getting this extractor. I'm not sure what this extractor did wrong to him, but yeah, the logo is going to be like, oh, that's awful. You're going to take that out. I'm just going to take it over here, I guess. And RICO, man, no half-mesters in this game so far. And Locos is actually going to get a scout, and I love this. He managed to hide this overlord, kind of in plain sight. And he's going to see, hey, storm, a single void ray so far. Did he spot the Oracle yet? Now, the Oracle is over here at the Natural. So he sees quick storm, and Locos' response is going to be, hey, you know what? I see Quick Storm. I'm sure there's a void ray, but I'm just going to be going into range upgrades and probably go into roaches and a couple of hydras from there on out. Maybe keep a couple of queens to get a creep spread, by the way. Man, loco is actually improving. This is not looking too bad. Now, I must say this is not looking too bad, but maybe someone else will disagree with it. As I heard, yeah, our new reporter is ready with a little bit of the early game review. What is your name again? Okwal? Okwold. What do you think so far? Hmm, I think this guy is doing great, whoever he is. And I believe if he loses, it's probably because of imbalance. Back to you, Kevin. Very, very interesting. I feel like I've seen that guy somewhere before, but I can't quite put my finger on it. But if he says it looks fine and it looks good, then we just got to trust him, right? These new young reporters are lots of enthusiasm in them and love to see it. Just love to see it. Continue with the game, 67 workers here for our main man, a loco. against the 51 so it's looking healthy now you could say perhaps a fort base would not be a luxury or it would actually be kind of a necessity at this point so even though roaches are good to kind of to kind of build you still want to know for sure hey this is not going to be an actual sky toss follow up right because if you're just going to be focusing solely on roaches and it is a sky toss follow up you could be in a little bit of trouble so even though at this point It's all looking great for Loco. I'd love to see, yes, this follow-up scout. This is absolutely beautiful. I'm definitely a big fan of that. I think that's good. Follow-up scouts are very, very important. He also keeps scouting with this Ling, his crease thread is looking solid, his upgrades are going fast. Locco is on point. If we compare this to old Loco, this guy has improved a lot. Throwing down a Hydra then as well. What is it? Sands back the overs here. You gotta be kidding me. Loco. I was just praising you so much. Loco? He's gonna put it with his main art. Are you joking? We need to know if there's air units. There is now a second void ray. Locke's gonna go for a pure road rush against someone that's making more void rays. This is a little bit how the US gets their intel. You know, they kind of get close to the country. They wanna invade and like, yeah, Vietnam. looks doable with what we currently have. Let's go in. Let's see how it will go for Loco. Locco, of course, man of big preparation, last thing he saw was a Templar archives, and that was only four minutes ago, so that's probably still pretty accurate, right? He's first into his stasis. A couple of cannons, he sees a Templar. See if he tanks the storm with his face as well. Yeah, sure. It's not too much you can do there. And then the void rays show up. Okay, wait a second. It's kind of annoying. It's two void rays and the Oracle there? I guess I kind of do need units that shoot up. So after last time getting hydrant corruptors to beat battle cruisers, this time he decided to go the other way around. He's like, ah, he's air units. I remember last time Big Harsden told me that I had too much anti-air. Let's try it with just pure roach this time. I'm not a fan of that And you could say, well, what Loco tried to do here is he just tries to poke with the roaches to see exactly what's going on. But poking with the roaches into a couple of void rays is like stabbing yourself in the stomach with a knife to check if the knife is sharp. Like sure, you're going to find out if the knife is sharp, but surely there has to be a better way than this. Overseer, stays alive, which I'm kind of happy about. He's going to go again. there's a couple of hydras. This is a good addition. He has good upgrades. His supply is good. And his creep thread is fantastic. Just pause and zoom in on this. Like, holy crap, loco. I'm not quite sure what he's been taken. I do know that he's from the Netherlands. So you never know what these guys put in their coffee in the morning. Like he's on fire, man. There's creep everywhere. It's like seven, what is it? One, two, three, four. Five roads of creep. Five creep lanes. Five bases already. Sure, he's a little bit supply block. Sure that the max isn't as quick as perhaps Sarah would have done it, but, you know, this isn't bad. This is looking pretty good. It's moving back, moving forward, sniping sniping Templar, left, right and center. Man, he's absolutely destroying his opponent here. This is almost textbook. I love this. Local. Now, that's the good news, of course, for us. The bad news is that Loco somehow manages to still find a way to eventually lose this game, which looking at the current situation is almost more impressive than sad. Almost. It is probably still going to be more sad than impressive in the end. Ten more hydras on the way. Well, 10 hydras, 17, 18 hydras. All right, Loco. Relax their buddy. Calm down. What do we have? I think we already have. Yeah. saw pathogen glens, so infester is the next move. He did talk about hydra, hydra infester, right? We did hear him. We talked about hydra infester, ultra. I'm not sure what the ultras are for, but you love to see it. No, piss off, Reynor. It's not your turn yet. You got to wait your turn, man. Just sit back and relax, okay? No, no one really cares about your opinion. Go away. fans right we're worried a bunch of hydras he said he was going to go into he's getting a sixth base or a man loco you beast you macro monster you injecting idiot no wait you super good player pulling the queens we're going all out here loco I am loving it I'm loving what I'm seeing here carapace upgrades No extra range, that's fine, ultra cavern. Okay, loco, let's do it. The final march. This is like when the trees start hitting the tower in Eisengard, man. This is about this epic, except instead of the trees, it's the queens. And instead of Eisengard, it's a Protoss base. Instead of cool guys in Lord of the Rings, it's Loco. But I think it's pretty close analogy-wise. If a stasis wars going down, he's micro-man, Locke is on fire. Holy crap. I know he's big on coffee, but this can't be just the coffee. Look at that, man. It's unbelievable. He's taking out everything. He's up. 60 supply. Sure, the Queens was a bit of a wild move. 11 minutes in. He takes down the fort base. Perhaps we could get some target fire on the Templar, but I don't even mind all of this. I don't mind any of this at all, loco. You're playing a fantastic take, putting him back on three, he's on six. He's on six, we can just go back. Sure, we can chase onto the ramp, but is that really what we want to do? We don't quite know how many storms there is. Okay, back up local. Breathe in, breathe out. Now, if we evaluate this position, we're local in this case, right? That's the three. I'm sure what he wants. A little bit too much coffee this morning, Loco. Evaluate this situation, right? So Loco has seen, I think, two immortals already. He's seen two immortals, eight Templar, eight, eight or nine Templar, and like five to six carriers, okay, and like a single Arkon. this army is largely designed to kill ground. This is not an army that attacks well into the air. You could say, well, carriers are kind of okay against the air, and there's a single arc one. If we have like a solid 15, 20 corruptors here, that's going to be very, very rough. Or even if you start playing with like vipers and pulling them into your hydros, that probably would be pretty sick as well. The one thing I wouldn't recommend against a guy who's making an anti-ground army is to get ultras because there's going to be immortals in it. Now, Locco only saw a single or maybe two immortals, so he can be completely aware of it. But you've got to be very careful with these things. I always say you want to stick with the composition, you want to have a plan, but through the experience, getting better in your plan, you need to be able to be kind of flexible with your plan. You've got to make small reactions. Now, this doesn't mean that from MESHydra, all of a sudden you start sacrificing all your hydras just to rebuild 35 corruptors. No, you kind of want to use the units you currently have and slowly try to trade them out for an army that is more adept at fighting your opponent's army, basically. That's kind of what you're aiming for when you're into, in a late game situation like this. I like the Investor Edition, microbial shroud, what's it called? The Entangle? Holy crap, neural parasite. This is what happens. Play this game for 10 years, 12 hours a day. I can't even remember anything of neural parasite. The amount of units I lost to that spell is insane. But yeah, you always got to be a little bit careful there as a player that your tech switches aren't too quick. You don't want to be like, okay, here you go, here's 40 hydras. And Loco isn't doing that. Locos doing this solid. He's going, okay, I got my hydras. I just had in a couple of ultras. Now, what you want to be doing is you probably want to be setting. up a good fight or be just a little bit patient look look look at what loco currently has okay he has everything the entire map is his he is on six bases one two six okay creep everywhere he could take this basically he's going to out expand his opponent like a madman he has more money in the bank and he's not been fighting poorly but he's going to be able to take like two bases of his about three bases of his opponent, it's going to be legit 10 base against four. Okay. Now, Locus Micro isn't known to be the best. This game, it hasn't been bad, but in general, isn't not to be the best. But if you can't win with 10 bases against four, perhaps it's just time to switch to a different game. Like, just go play some casual Tetras or something like that, you know, just start beating the neighborhood kids in competitive Pac-Man. But it's just a Those games are pretty difficult. An easier game. The game with the raccoon where you have to build stuff. That's more for you. I can't remember the name. It's the scummy raccoon. You guys know what I'm talking about. Attacking into this, we'll see how it goes. We'll see how it goes, Loco. So we see two ultras are almost continuously fighting. They all die because there's like 17 immortals. the carriers don't actually have that much DPS they're not the main DPS in the army that's going to be the storm and the immortals so Loco goes in he's like, ooh who lost all my ultras for free killed like three zealids hmm six new ultras all right interesting call here Loco interesting call indeed i'm not quite sure if this is how it works this is one of those times where you kind of want to switch something up and if you want to rebuild ultras and then wait for your opponent to move out and then fight into him i can kind of see it more but you just saw he had like five six immortals he's on four bases your opponent isn't going to be the one that's going to be quick at tech switching he won't really have that much money for that he won't have the gas This is pretty much the army. This dude is going to be stuck. He isn't even max yet. Like, this is not looking tight. What you want to be doing here is local. Probably want to be getting either into some corruptors. I don't even mind the Lurker call, but at least try to add a couple of vipers. So you can try and take either Archons, Immortals, or even some carriers into your units. And with vipers, in theory, you have infinite time, especially if you have your opponent contained on four bases, and you have access to a potential 10. Vipers can't really die against feedback so you can heal them. Sure, you're going to lose time, which is also a resource, but Loco really has plenty of time on his hands. The longer the game goes, the better it's going to go for him. I like this. Quick rotation to the other side. It's kind of smart. I feel like he's also not quite understanding how microbial shroud works. So microbial shroud, for the people to know, it reduces the damage by about 50%. from air attacks. Now, contrary to popular belief, or at least contrary to Locos believe, immortals are not flying units. I have made the suggestion multiple times on the Blizzard forums, but so far no reply from anyone at Blizzard. This means that microbial shroud does absolutely nothing. As ultras are mainly going to be attacked by the immortals and get their main DPS from the immortals, perhaps don't cast it on the ultras and just use your investors for for for neural this is like to a man with a hammer every problem looks like a nil and for loco with microbial shroud every unit looks like an air unit we can we can count this as a seven out of ten joke it wasn't my best Not my best work. But yet, you probably just want to be working on your neuroles. There's really not that much air damage, especially because this guy is somehow on plus one attack while you have plus three carapace. I don't think the carriers are going to be the real issue. And this is really the painful thing in this game for me is that this isn't really airtos. Loco isn't dying to carriers. Not really. he's losing to a ground army and ground armies we know how to deal with we can build lurkers we could play Brutlord Corruptor against this but perhaps we shouldn't be playing microbial shroud against the ground army loco I am not sure what this microbial shroud is but God I'd love to hear what this was for this is what sometimes you see Tost storm their own units. This is like local thinking it's a fungal. It's like, ooh, look this big orange fungal. I said a couple of good fungles by there. It's not a bad fight. It's not a bad fight. Some debatable decisions, but not a bad fight. I can kind of dig it. Now, there's a lot of storm here. We have a lot more hydras on the way, because 36 hydras wasn't enough yet for a local. He's like, I see there's about 35 storms left. Is there any way I could play into my opponent's hand more yes he tells himself as he presses down the hydra key for the next five minutes loses the hatchery literally just get stormed please note that these carrients aren't actually doing that much these carriers are not the ones dealing the main damage do not forget that this is not a loss against airtles this is a game against ground three support of six supporting carriers seven supporting carriers that wasn't really the issue now loco kind of has been building up up this entire bank all game long so for the past eight minutes he's been building this bank now that he needs to spend it hey he's lacking some larva because he's about to lose absolutely everything and maybe some static defense would have been wise to if you ever lose a fight with your invincible composition that perhaps you would be able to delay your opponent a little bit we just see him die to storm this guy's just bummered what is actually oh loco oh loco oh loco oh loco oh loco loco loco loco loco loco loco We could talk for a very long time here, Loco, about how, sure, you had good creeps red. And yes, you took many bases. And sure, the opponent perhaps didn't play as beautiful as you did, but your opponent also didn't walk into the same choke three times with ultras. Your opponent also didn't try to counter immortals with ultras. Your opponent didn't think that 47 hymnals. was a good call against 12 Templar. So that can only lead me to one conclusion, Loco. So basically, Loco, what I'm trying to tell you is that, Hey, what is this? Let me answer this. Hello, who is this? Hello. What's up, idiot? Reynor? Yeah, it's me. What the hell was this? Well, I mean, it's just a replay with Loco. I mean, the late game doesn't look that bad. I mean, sure, Loco played well, but the TOS also did some nice moves. The late game isn't that favored for it. for Tos, right? What do you mean? That was super one-sided. Loco did everything he could. He was clean, 100%. I couldn't do any better. This was great. Tos late game is absolutely nuts. I was just about to tell Loco that he sucked. Like, what's wrong with you? This is my show. Piss off. Just leave, man. What the hell? What do you mean? He sucks. Just leave. This is my show now. I'm supposed to go? Yeah, just leave. What the hell? I told you. It's my show. Leave. Just leave, man. Leave. What's up guys? Like I'm here to tell you, Loco, that was completely imbalanced. I get you 100%. I couldn't see that. Like my eyes are bleeding. Like you did everything you could. Good job, Loco. Protoc is just broken Hello You hear Kevin He actually left guys So yeah I was telling you Like yeah He did everything he could honestly Like I feel him 100% Like since since the late game buffs and everything and the Zerg nerves This is completely one-sided Like a local you're a beast Don't worry about the comments man You got it Hello guys don't forget to like subscribe and yeah just wine a bit more so maybe we we get a one guy at blizzard to buff us a bit yeah it's a bit sad honestly see you guys subscribe
