Dear Harstam, the current state of ZVP frustrates me greatly. I tried really hard in that game. I felt like my unit composition of Queen Corruptor Viper with 1-2 Ultras and a couple of lings was the correct match for the Skytos. However, it was really hard to shut down his expansions due to cannons and batteries. Despite all my attempts, I was out-expended and out-traded. Please tell me how this is not imbalanced. Cheers, RealGan. Realgan is a Zerg Grandmaster player from Europe. He's playing against Hulk, who is, I believe, a Russian toss. I'm not actually sure what country Realgan is from opening up with a 12-pooh, safe and solid macro play. Hulk, I know Hulk, also known as Genie. And I play against America now and then. He's a cannon rusher and a Skytos camper, basically. He is everything that everyone hates on ladder. So seeing a replay of these two guys makes me extremely happy. It seems like Relgan has some complaints about Skytals. Now, I do agree that Skytos can be very frustrating to deal with, especially Voidre Carrier Tempest, with a bunch of a mothership and a bunch of Templar underneath. This is right now the composition that Tos has, which actually is very good for Tos. And as a Zerg, it can be very good. difficult to do it. I agree with that. I'm not sure if that's what Hulk plays. It's possible that Hulk just plays pure Skydos like Voidre Carrier. That type of stuff usually just gets kind of easily countered by investors, some combination of investors and what do you call them, vipers. As long as there's no high templars really easy. But even with High Templar, if there's no tempest, Zir can almost always find good engagements. Now, opens up with a 12 pool, gets the hatch down. decent time. I think Hulk opened with Nexus first or something like that or tried the cannon rush. He seems to have a very weird opener here. You should cancel this forge. And then he's probably just fine. Okay, it doesn't cancel the forge. So this is a bunch of minerals there for nothing. Cannon is up though and this gate, oh actually the gate can be attacked at a certain location yeah it's just testing right now i think there's another spot over here up top i think two lings can definitely attack this oh cybercore goes down double hatch behind this i feel like if you see the cyber core as this late you can actually delay your second gas and you can play double gas later on so you can still get speed later on but it's not necessary to get it quickly because this cyber core is so late by the time two adepts are out you're going to have like five queens already so I'm actually not a massive fan of this fast gas. RELGAN also immediately sees a very fast third gas, which... This is 4 gas at once. I've never seen this in my life before. This is not a build. But the RELGAN did spot that, so he should know that most likely it's just going to be either MESS Phoenix or MESS Oracle, MES void, right? It's going to be something air with air that requires a lot of gas. So you just know it's Target already. I actually feel like at this point he... shouldn't be mining gas at all he has two queens so far he's not injecting with either of them there we go took his time moving into a supply block soon but for now yeah there's a lot of larva available he's actually just supply block yeah finishes up that's nice so a tiny supply block I mean these are small mistakes but they do add up over time but on the end with Hulk I don't know what he's doing it all basically doing random pilots make sure sure he doesn't die to Nidus. His eco is still slightly better than Rilgan for some reason. I have no clue how that actually happened. It's not like this. I guess RELGEN either wasn't injecting or macroing or just was supply block for a long time. Like he's supposed to be in a better spot worker wise than 36 to 32. He's now catching up of course as the queen start popping more and more larva out. Now we have the first Stargate plus one starts before the Stargate I love that. And this setup, if I'm real gang here, I mean I see a zealot, a sentry and a void ray. What you do here is you get like seven, eight lings like this and then you just get a bunch of queens, like five to six queens. You get a lot of drones, just constantly be pumping out drones, hitting all your injects, spreading a lot of creep. Never get a road to iron against. It's never in a million years. There's absolutely no use. You see this guy is opening up with Voidre. His tech is super delayed. You're not even sure if this is Warpgate. I mean, if it is Warpgate, it's gonna be the slowest warp gate in the world. You can just hold this with whatever layer tech you're planning to get. In my opinion, that should be Hydras. Unless you 100% know your opponent is playing Erichols, but then the Rotorne, the Rotorne never makes sense. Yeah, I think you just go to layer, get plus one and then get Hydras. And you can just, what you can do against most of these builds is you just get like seven, eight queens. then you get hydras with plus one and you get banlings and you just kill your opponent it's actually impossible to hold without storm you hit at like 740 750 uh with like 160 supply and you always beat these builds every single time especially if they rush straight the carrier it's awful because their dps is so little you can just kill the interceptors you have enough hydras to do that if you have hydras with plus one uh and you have a bunch of queens for tanking and transfuses there should be no problem So, Realgen build too many lings. This type of stuff, I mean, it can work. It's just gimmicky, right? If there's an Oracle here or there's two more zealots, you just wasted six drones, basically. It is going to work out this time, so it actually gets a cancel on the base. Hulk is like, okay, I'm just going to expand over here. We have a fort base on the way for RealGan. All of this so far is pretty good. If he was planning on getting Hydra then, he should have played a race. upgrades honestly these days hydra bane unless it's for a straight timing isn't actually that popular anymore because bainings lost a lot of their power like the macro variant of hydra bane now we have spire is this loco he's gonna play hydra corrupter 22 more things 22 more lings makes absolutely zero sense as well Should have been 10 more drones. Because there's no ground units, actually zero ground units. He's already seen the carriers now. So all he needs to do is not die against the carriers. And he actually... Like, he should be at 80 workers at this point already. On 8 gas, but instead he's building lings. And rallies them into a cannon and a void, right? Once again, this can work, but really it shouldn't. I actually think it's gonna work, though. Oh my god, he gets another cancel. I hate it when this happens. He's gonna lose a base in return. No way, right? And it's just two carriers. There's no way. Yeah, there's no way. Right? Just moves across the map with the three hydras. He's gonna trade a base for a base, which actually is a good thing. He's floating 2K minerals as well as well as 900 gas. I mean, I understand that he's floating a thousand gas because he wants to be getting corruptors, I guess. Or Muda Lisk maybe, I have no clue. His play style makes no sense. But the 1K minerals is pretty painful. He's not re-expanding to the left side or re-expanding here. Now finally my man Hulk is re-expanding. This is doing way too much damage. If this carrier dies, I'm going to be upset. Okay, doesn't die. He lost all of his queens now, so he literally only has 68 workers and 13 corruptors on the way. This is awful. Three more queens. It's like, ah, maybe a spore. I bet he's real glad about the plus one melee that he has right now. It's going to be real useful this game. Two carriers, three fighters, can he fight this? So, nine corruptors? I guess he can now, yeah. It's gonna get one two corruptors for free. There's plus one as well on this. That actually makes them a lot scarier. Three voiderers on the way Fleet Begin. I think Hulk is in a very, very good position right now. though he lost his third base three four times. Realgan has absolutely no eco. He has no units. He has no upgrades. And he doesn't even have any queens. I mean he has three right now. He's finally rebuilding this fourth base at eight minutes in. I guess he's going to be able to do a little bit of damage. Fourth base goes down for Hulk as well. This is good. So you get into the main base and then you can pick off like the guys that come to rescue it. So he gets two void rays. For a single corruptor, which is always a nice thing. I think now he stays a little bit too long and this straight ends up going pretty poor Plus 2 wasn't quite done yet, but it was close. I don't know I feel like at this point he shouldn't be be doing this anymore. What you want to do is you want to pick it off while they're So you do a run by to the third base or something and as they're flying you pick off a unit from the side because void raise are faster than carriers. You know. you can pick of a carrier from behind, something like that. No scouting out of real gang that there's a potential fort base. There should be a link here. There should be a link here. There should be a link here. Making sure that no extra expansions can be built. He's still only on 72 workers. And he's mining from a base that hasn't finished yet with his extra workers. It's like 10 more workers than his opponent, and he uses all of them to long-distance mine. So in reality, Eco is completely even. upgrades are way ahead here for Hulk. He has plus two against no upgrades on air. The ground upgrades are completely irrelevant. These lings are not going to be able to trade with cannons, most likely. If this base actually gets cannons, he said I had a difficult time denying base as well, yeah, it was because you didn't try. If you start denying a base, if there's 10 cannons, yeah, it's a lot more difficult. But this Nexus built, which is like 70 seconds, then he built pilots, and just now he's adding his cannons. It's like he's had basically two full minutes to try and deny his base, and he isn't even aware it's up yet. Just keeps focusing on whatever he's already doing. He finally gets his gases, but Hulk already has gas as well. So actually, income is completely even still. Worker count is equal. Zerg at this point should have his hive done. Should be a double spire, 95 workers, 10 gas. But a real gun just keeps building Ling Corruptor. and then just runs around the map trying to do damage. And every time he does damage, he'll kill like five workers, and then he loses three, four corruptors and 20 lings. So it's like he's doing damage, but he doesn't have more eco than his opponent. And he's losing more money-wise as well. So actually all of these trades probably, yeah, are not in favor of real gun at all. Right now, Hulk is actually ahead in trades, and I think the eco has been pretty similar. The only thing is that, that Hulk is investing so much in static defense that even though he lost more, even though Real Gun lost more army value wise, he's actually still in a playable position. Finally he's going up to 86, 91 worker, second spire, this is like, this is three, four minutes too late, two, three minutes too late, I think. When he started his fourth base, his fifth base basically should be saturated already with 10 gas, but because he kept building random lings, it didn't happen, also losing the Queen sauce, course a big pepeg move here we go 98 workers this is good then you just get vipers at this point once again this base is gonna go up without really being contested at all at this point another thing you can do by the way is if you have very good eco you can start doing bailing run bys like just busting like seven eight banlings in here then doing a ling run by but only after you have good eco so what real gang did here is he started harassing a lot and then got good eco but you can just do it the other way around so first get good eco and then start harassing it's exactly the same probably would do more damage with the second one and you actually have an advantage in that case so this is a bad fight most likely for hulk as there's a lot of queens there's a bunch of corruptors here as long as you just not fight into the prismatic alignment here you're going to be having a really good time as a RELGun. He did fight a little bit in the prismatic alignment, so I still think this fight was pretty poor, actually, for Valgun. On top of that, this upgrades still suck hard as well. But queens are extremely powerful against void rays. No transfuses being used. Yeah, there's one transfuse. Good. Yeah, this was a good fight. Like I said, if you just fight after prismatic alignment is gone, you're usually going to have a very good time. You're just... Corruptors actually trade very well against Voidray carrier if there's no prismatic alignment. and if there's a couple of queens around. So he loses a base and a bunch of workers. Another base for Hulk is up. And at this point, a real gun should be realizing that it's time to add some casters as well. You know, either investor or viper. What I like to see initially is viper, so you can fly around with your corruptor viper. You pull a unit to you, you kill it. And then you go into investors if you ever want to have a big fight. It seems like Ryulgan doesn't quite agree with it as he just keeps building corruptors. He's like, huh. I wonder what the counter is to mass Voidre. Maybe a unit that is armored and takes more damage from prismatic alignment. That sounds all right. Here come. 23 corruptors. This is a fight I actually don't know who will win. Okay, well if the Voidray's pop, then... Hawk is going to win. You see, Hulk completely outmining his opponent at this point, just by building cannons at base, all these bases, by the way, quick pass. You look at these bases and you think, hey, this is pretty secure. But in reality, this is just three cannons. So if you send a decent amount of lings here, or if you just, like I said, send a couple of bay lings, he already has plus two at this point, you're just going to blast this base. There's no walls, it's not 12 cannons, like here, also only three cannons. These bases are really really, really easy to harass and they're super out of the way for hulk to defend um like you said sometimes it feels as a Zerg player that there's not a lot you can do in these cases it's like oh there's cannons everywhere but then you look at it like well it's three cannons like you send in eight baylings here they're going to kill every single probe then you send like 10 lings and they clean up the cannons behind it as well like this is absolutely not a powerful defense at all absolutely not um two two upgrades plus three is done more Stargates on the way for Hulk. Real gun is just, I mean, real gun is just down 30 supply. I, yeah, he's just in a bad spot, honestly. He's really just been in a bad spot. Ever since the start when he decided that he didn't need a fort base to fight against the toss, that is camping on three. I feel like he's been in a poor position. He's also just been... He's also just been sending his corruptors around the map. Again and again without any type of finesse, you know. This is the caveman way of playing. Wait, what? Does he have lings and corruptors in the same group? I think he's just F2ing, honestly. Okay, no, he has a separate group. I think he just F2s a lot, because they were moving together. Now, what he should have been doing, like I said, is try to split up your opponent's attention. Like, these bases are like backdoor attacks. Imagine you have a scenario where your opponent has a fort, okay? And the fort is surrounded by land and it's not on a hill. And this, this fort is castle. This, it has a, it has one and it has two entrance doors. There's one in the front. that's where there's five machine guns in front of that front door. And the moment you walk in front of that front door, the machine guns start shooting. And then you have a door in the back. And there there's a guy with a revolver. You have six bullets in the revolver. It's one of the old-school ones, like in the Wild West. He's never used a gun before either. My Man Real Gun keeps trying to burst into the front door again and again, into the bases where there's eight, nine cannons and with the machine guns, the void rays, the carriers. While this backdoor of the castle of the fort is completely undefended, except for the one guy with the revolver that never shot before. And he just keeps going back again and again. Stupid machine guns so broken. Oh yeah. This castle is impenetrable. That's the word. Like, this makes absolutely no sense to me. And the beautiful thing is if you go through the back door of the castle, the machine guns will need to move. This analogy is going a bit too far. These guys will need to move. And then you can pick them off with your corruptor viper from the side. You have like a changeling over here, a changeling over here. You see a move. You see the carriers are behind. You can pick maybe a voidway from the front or a carrier from the back, whatever you want. Maybe you can pick off the mothership as this unit is so big. Like, if you accidentally click somewhere on the screen, you will abduct the mothership with your viper. Now, there's not a single sport either, but that's just because his eco sucks and has been sucking for a very long time. Still has the lings in his army, by the way. I love it. He builds 69. 69 lings. There's not a single ground unit here. He's like, huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Huh. Oh. If StarCraft had MVP awards, these lings definitely wouldn't get it. You know, through the process of elimination, you can quickly realize that it's not going to be the lings that win. Like, this army just had 35 supply in lings. It had 70 lings, right? That's 35 supply. 35 supply. Yeah. That did absolutely nothing in the fight. His total army supply was 90. One third of his army was useless. It just did nothing. It just was... It wasn't there. Like... And the rest of his army gets hard countered by this. Just like void rays and carriers and a mothership. Like void rays hard counter corruptors. I'm pretty sure if we open the corruptor tab. Look at this. Weak against the void ray. The void ray is strong against the corruptor. You see that? All Vielgun needed to do was open up the Blizzard Help Tap. This is... What does it say about the circling? At the circling, does it say strong against Voidre? Because if it does... I will apologize? No, strong against marauder, hydra and stalker. It can't shoot up. The circling doesn't have an anti-air attack. Do you understand that real again? This is important for me that you understand this. Now, what we could have built, look. It's the investor. Strong against? The Voidre. Also strong against the carrier. It doesn't say it here, but it is also strong against the carrier. It has this ability called Neurro Parasite in which. parasite in which for a two-supply unit, the investor, you can take the Protoss, big supply, six-supply unit, the carrier for free. And then after you use it, you can still throw a fungal as well. It will fight on your side. You get that? Fungal, great against units that clump, and then look at this. What does it say at the viper? It doesn't say it's strong against the void ray. It's also strong against the void ray. Parasitic bomb. But he still doesn't have a single viper? How's that even possible? He already started with Ultra. He felt like his lings last fight didn't quite do a good enough job of clearing all the ground. So instead what he decided to do was to make an ultra to clear the many ground unit that Hulk has. The sentry in the wall. This is as incomprehensible. He's just messing corruptors on a worse economy, wondering he's getting hard countered by a unit that hard counters the corruptor. You know there's actually a trick with Viper Corruptor? Let me tell you this trick. This works great against higher carrier accounts especially, and I mean this is just a higher carry What you do is, first of all, you send in the ultra first. Look at this guy. Look at the damage he's doing, the mental support he's providing. Dumpidum, Pidum. Pompidon. Is he actually winning this fight? I have no clue what Hulk is doing here, to be honest. I think he's going to recall this. No, okay. So there is a trick. Listen to this. What you can do as a Zerg player, If you're playing against someone that actually builds no Templar, this becomes even better. But even if they do have Templar, it's good. If they don't have tempest, which you can do, is you can paracitic bomb an opponent's carrier, then you fly into the carrier with all your corruptors. And then because of the splash of the parasitic bomb, all the interceptors that are attacking the corruptors that are within the carrier and thus the parasitic bomb will just die. And because interceptors don't have too much HP, the interceptors actually, die very very fast right now real gun is like dang it if only i could deny these bases somehow but real guy or hulk is just too fast i mean he built the nexus and then 50 seconds later he built the cannons i want to also get your guys attention that really relgun has been having full map control the entirety of the game like he had decent i say pretty good creep spread um he knew exactly exactly what was going on he just never wanted to scout for bases he only scouts bases after there's 17 cannons he's like the crappy spider senses you know he's like the type of guy whose gut starts tingling once he's already in jail but i caught by the bad guy if there ever was a spider man movie made about real gun you're like oh my spidey senses start tingling and he starts looking around just gets clubbed on the head the movie ends spider man died like oh this was crap I run angry box office 200,000 budget of the movie like 5 million but it should be a crap movie absolute spider senses of a donkey they don't have spider senses oh oh here comes yes I was almost afraid he didn't have an ultra with his army I was I wonder if he thinks that Ultras might have an a aura around them, you know, plus 10 attack damage or something like that. In Warcraft 3 you have the Kodo and there's war drums. You can get more damage. Let's just add some lings as well. It's like, you know what I'm really missing in my composition right now? What do you think? Investers? Maybe more vipers or extra corruptors? Maybe some bailings for her run by, yeah. Maybe an ultra and 30 lings. Sounds alright. Okay, here we go again. I like how he, I want to actually show this move because I thought this was great. So he just saw that there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. That there's ten cannons over here. Okay? And he's right now in this location. Okay, let's just follow this army. It's like, huh, I can't really do much on the left side. What was there on the right side again? take dumpy don't actually let's go into his vision like okay let's go I think we can have it okay he's cowled 10 cannons oh still 15 cannons now he added 5 well that's still too much 10 was too much 15 is too much maybe I should check again in half an hour it's like what are you doing like you're not going to break this with pure ling but ling ultra like you need something that does splash Bainlings, for example. Bainlings, for example. I love that the corruptors always fly with his army as well. Of course, they want to profit from that the war drums aura that the Ultralesk has. Did he actually... I thought he unbinded his vipers for a second, but he didn't. Okay, now this final fight, for once we're not going to follow the Ultra. Because the Ultra is actually doing damage. in I can believe it. Let's see what he's going to do with this army. So throws a parasitic bomb, one, loses three vipers, cast a single parasitic bomb. I don't even know how that's possible. I really don't. I find it impressive. I mean, this... This is a This is the type of game, you know. I always tell people, I think Skytos is quite good. I do think it's good. I think it's difficult to deal with. Don't get me wrong, especially at the lower levels. Like anything below like 6K, you know, like the top guys, they're pretty good at dealing with it. But even for them, it's really difficult. And Skytos can feel really easy to play. But this Skytos is not good. There was no Templar, there was no Tempest. Like the problem here was just that Wilgen, he tried to basically link all in in the midgame, then got behind economically, and then for the rest of the game tries to counter void rays with corruptors and ultras. I kind of want to make like a chart for him, where it's like, does it shoot up? And then do I make it versus Airtles? And then the answer is, no, if it doesn't shoot up, you don't build it versus Airtles, unless you're killing probes with it. I'm honestly confused why he sent this replay. I mean, he's a grandmaster player. understand at least the, you know, the interactions between units that can shoot up and can shoot up between spellcasters and carriers and not having a single investor makes zero sense to me, not having a single sport on the map the entire time, not rushing 95 drones in the early game and actually being behind in eco against a guy with zero ground units, why do you keep walking into machine guns real bad? Why? I don't understand. I don't think you understand this game either. So, I have two things for you. First of all, read on the unit counters a little bit. There's a very helpful help tap F-12 in game. You can see what unit counters what. It's not always accurate, but it's going to do a better job than what you showed us this game. And second of all, you suck. Pathetic performance. All right, guys, that's going to be it for today. I hope you did enjoy this episode of Is It Inba or Do I Suck? And I hope to see you all next time for a new one. Bye-bye.


Protoss imba? The WHOLE TEAM investigates! | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck

Today we dedicate ourselfs to an investigation into the most reported IMBA-matchup: Terran vs Protoss! But there is no way that I can do this alone, so I recruited the whole IODIS-Team to reveal the truth! Just like the truth of liking and subscribing!

Dear Harston, as always, I'm getting shred by protoses. This one was higher in MMR, but was doing me whatever he wanted, as to most of any other members of this Inba race, though I think I have played decent game. Decent game. Yes, I'm tereblah with supply blocks, but all in all, in 200 versus 200, they just do whatever they want. Don't have my APMs for controlling all mines Liberator Gov slash Tim, and they do just a move and storm. Do I really suck? Eat me. A Terran player in diamond on the EU server. 3.7K MMR. And he's playing against Mr. Mover. Now the question really is, does he suck or is Storm plus A move just a little bit to Imba? A good question to ask, of course. A lot of people complain about Storm. We see that a nice little conversation. This guy is very friendly. My man Mover over here with the question. where the opponent is from. Whenever people ask me too many questions, I'm a little suspicious that there might be a gate on my side of the map or a proxy star gate on my side of the map, but you see me scouting around this base of music, like, I am trusting this crap. Scouts as well. Opens up with a gas first here, by the way. It's a little bit interesting. Not a very common build anymore, but definitely still playable. Now SCV Scout with gas first is rather uncommon, but once again, Again, we can forgive him for this. Reaper starts, orbital as well as command center. On the other end, we see core first from our... Was this core first? It looks like next before core actually. Next before core from our ProDos player. Why is this CC? Legit 15 seconds too late. I don't know what happened here. And I don't know why my music isn't play. but this is really quite confusing for no apparent reason his cc is just 15 seconds too late and this is this is the level where I'm expecting cc's to be in time you know two seconds late well we can live with it but this this is pushing it factory reactor finishing up as well as we have my man movers gonna lose this probe for free. No, Eatme decides he has more important things to do, let's the probe return back to his family. Solid Krona was there. Classic. Absolute classic, I love it. All right. We see the factory actually, uh, finishing up. This is also really late. This, was he just AFK for the first 10 seconds? The Hellions are supposed to be out at like 304, 305, but they're only just starting. I don't understand why. I'm not quite the build order expert though. We actually, actually, we have a different guy for that. John? Are you there? Kevin? I told you I'm on holiday, you idiot. Don't ever call me again while I'm on holiday. I have one week off a year and this is what you do? When I come back I'm gonna punch you so freaking... ... your valuable input I guess. Yeah, let's just continue with the game as we have the first Oracle on the way. Did our friend Reaper Man see anything? Now, didn't see anything, of course. Didn't manage to properly get in playing against Stalker Stalker. Now he does have two cars which he decided instead of sending across the map he's going to leave at home. He follows up with two more cars. So it's going to get four cars, no starport, another barracks. Now, I've seen a build like this before, but in that case it was always played with a star port. He's also not producing marines consistently at all. He's going to need two mines to deal with this oracle. That's the standard. But because his reactor or his factory oscillate, I don't even think that's going to work. Doesn't he just lose to one oracle here? I mean... So he has three marines, no units in position. What? And then loses six workers. And his heliens kill. Okay, you get some kills with the helions as well, that's good. So seven workers killed on the one side. Nine workers killed on the other. But he's down 15 workers, which means he also hasn't been producing workers. He isn't producing workers right now. And he gets a tech lab for a factory on a cyclone that is too late for any air unit. This is like putting on the condom after the fact. It's like this doesn't help anymore, my friend. Why would you even do this? You already got your STD. This cyclone is absolutely nothing. Well, it's still good to have, obviously, but... You're already sick. Three more... It's just over. I mean, there's six adepts and three... seven adepts, three oracles. Six marines and a cyclone. And he's also like double the workers. He kills the turret. My man mover. P... Okay, these guys are out of energy. I guess that helps. Cyclone actually saving the day here. That's nice. I think she would cancel this, yeah. Just kill this. I mean, he's getting a third base as well. It's looking really good for mover. Okay, so this is gonna get cleaned up in the end. the end units lost up looking relatively even but my man eat me here hasn't produced a worker ever since the Berlin Wall fell so he's in a supply block as well I don't know how he can get supply locked after he's been attacked for this long didn't lose a depot right I wonder what this time supply block will be at the end of this game editor that's counted just you know we updated in in 30 seconds second increments so you don't have to do too much work Cyclone gets half repaired because nothing is better than a job half done. His wife must love him. Ah, so close, honey, so close. One one on the way here for Mover. Who is a... Movers continuing with his life, he knows. Like, well, I send over some adapt, some Oral and killed a bunch of workers, but he's not, he's not one to reminisce about the past. He's like, you know, what's in the past is in the past. Right now I'm happy just producing more units and making probes. My men eat me, still thinking about those adepts, absolutely destroying his life, the first Oracle taking out 10 workers. And here comes the cyclone, 43 HP. So half a shot of a sensory will get a boom. Nice. It's a good move out here. Maggially floating 1,200 minerals jutting all of this as well. Oh man, this is so good. Um... Thurcy C on the way. This is the Terran way of dealing and floating money. You just built like four structures. I wasn't, I was a floating cash. This was planned in the build order. All right, buddy. Four marauders are out. 101 supply against 57. 66 workers against 37. The fact that the Terran believes he's still entitled to this game. Should tell you everything about that race and the people that play it. Holy crap. Like, movers have been playing a good game. He has so many workers. He's getting upgrades. He's Corona Boosting Wall as well. Moover is... I like Mover. I'm not a big fan of the structures he's building sometimes, but... His macro is tight, like he's doing things, getting a fourth base. Doesn't give a crap... He also isn't like, alright, I don't want to finish the game yet, you know? He wants to get all the units here. Man, my man, Mover. I'm a fan. What do you have, charge, 1-222-2 on the way, Disruptor, maybe some Templar as well. He's just getting every unit in the boot. When Mover opens the game, you just goes through like the, you know, little guide you got with the game when you bought it in 2010. There's not even disruptors in there. He's like, well, what are you not sure I built today? And he just scrolls through the pages as the game progressed. This one looks cool as well. Bam. Builds it. It's get so sick. Armory, seven turrets, casual. Because he has plenty of money laying around anyway. He's down 30 workers. He thinks seven turrets at this point is a wise investment. Perfect defense against multi-prong. Only sacrificed two and a half command center for it. Actually more. Now it's two and a half, about two and a half. Hey, this is so sick. What the hell? One Viking here probably would have done a similar job and keeping a marine here and a marine here. I mean he's on two base. It's not like, like there's not going to be too much multi-prong here, you know. You can just move your army to your main at this point. I have a feeling Eatme isn't going to move out in the next 10 minutes either. He hasn't really done anything except for that one move out with the cyclone. Nice tank position. Never mind, guys. Yeah, okay, you realize, he realized. We can forgive it. I'll take back that I tried to make fun of you there. I'll take it back. I mean, he's just not doing anything. He's not scouting. He's not producing workers. But nothing is happening. So what is he doing? Is he one of those guys with two screens and is just watching anime on the other screen or something like that, you know? The final episode of Naruto. Like on repeat on the side. It seems like the kind of guy that would do that. It's on repeat, just looping again and again. Solid disruptor drop. We can forgive him. He has so much more money. Honestly, if I was mover and my opponent wouldn't be leaving, I just constantly be seen. sending in disruptor drops into my opponent's marine to tell him to leave. Something I do as well is just sending units for fun. Todd once showed me a replay, which he played against an N.A. Terra, where the N.A. Terran just wouldn't leave and kept camping on three bays, with a planetary as natural as a third. And he kept just move commanding, like 12 immortals and 10 Archons into his opponent's planetary, just dancing it back and forth, never attacking anything until eventually, I think Todd maxed out on one. 80 army supply just A moved into the guy that absolutely blasted him. It's like a 45 minute game of Todd just move commanding units in again and again and again. He sent me the replays the cap have a look at this. What do you think? Todd is so cool man. Double ghost academy. Because this really is the kind of game where he can afford a new court too. supply like he only has one thing to pay attention it's not like he's been controlling his army or thinking about what type of composition to get like how's supply a look let me start a CC gives more supply than a depot also only takes about seven times as long to build but it's got a double depot drop there we go and starts two depots that you will still supply blocked after Imagine being so supply blocked that you instantly are supply block again after. So he's going to be able to get one round of SCD. He's 51 SCVs. Oh my God. I'm so curious how long this guy has been supply blocked. This is really impressive. He's also, okay, he's getting 2-2. Why did he get the second Academy? All right. Little game show segment. Ding-da-ding ding ding ding bong dong ding Hello and welcome to the IOTUS game show Today we have a question for the audience and the question is Will we see any use out of that second Ghost Academy or is it just there for show We have two answers answer A Yes we're gonna be seeing both ghost academies used and answer B No we're not going to be seeing two Ghost Academies used Stay tuned for the answer. That sure is a good question. Um, let me see a couple of zealots. Just destroying a marauder here and there. I mean, this is, it's not looking good for a turn friend. Let's just be honest here, guys. This is... This is not looking to... I love the CC in here as well. Pretending that he still wants to expand. He has a single meta-vac now. Now, four meta-vex. Okay, that he's dropping. An empty one as well for moral support. The third. wheel. Well, your best friend and his girlfriend are making out in the backseat. This guy is driving the car. Completely sober as all, of course. Don't drive and drink, guys, that's messed up. He got left behind. They had better things to do. They really only use this guy for his car. If you're a person in that situation right now, it's still time to stop. These people are not your friends. There's more people out there. What's this? Okay, 24 Rother's, two to upgrades, drilling claws, because he's really been doing a lot of mine harass and he's been moving these mines around the bunch and it makes a lot of sense to get that upgrade. Float, another supply block. What? He's actually just constantly supply blocked. While doing nothing. Well, where was I? I was here. Maybe you should cut this out. This fight is looking interesting from the Prodos. I'm not quite sure about that one, but he's plenty of money. I don't mind it for now. It's literally one, two, three, four, five, six, seven and he's taking... Wait, I can't count. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight base, eight potential bases against currently three. He's ready for the double drop as well. I feel like he has a little bit of money to spare. But honestly, the fights, the one thing that Eadme has been complaining about, haven't really been going that poor. I mean, he's just, he's doing so much better in the fights, like twice as efficient. and he has an army composition of Marines marauders and unseed liberators. So I feel like he can't really be complaining about Storm here. I mean, maybe I'm the crazy one, but in my mind that seems like a bold play. We'll see if it pays off for him. Byron's going to go... Oh, the Disruptor drop. This is a classic. I like this one. Is this gonna be the second one that just insert... What are we doing here? Oh! Like how both players are just managing this little area. Forgetting about the rest of the game. This is the most important interaction they've ever had. And then the one DT just ruins it. Dang it, DT. Okay. This base gets cleaned up, so... Eatme is gonna be pretty happy about himself here, I guess. So right now it's only 6 base against 4, 55 works against 81. How is he up in income? I feel like my man movers should have sent in this replay. Hello, I have 6 bases, 81 workers. Terran just mines more than me. How is that possible? I wonder if I'm even if he's ever going to do something this game. Oh, mine hits. That's an interesting move. Coast Academy hasn't been used yet by the way. And he's not really hitting too many storms. So this... This fight looted really good for the... Yeah, 17K against 8.2K. I have a feeling, Eatme doesn't quite realize that the reason that he lost was... A, he was actual light years behind. B, he doesn't do anything in the game. See, he's been consistently... Oh, he can't get supply blocked anymore. I hope he loses a depot. Let's see how long it takes him to rebuild one depot. So this is most likely the final time of being supply blocked. But perhaps... He also, why did he speak about having ghost? When there's 10 Archons and he doesn't have a single ghost ready. Flies away with two metaphors. Oh, look at that third wheeling friends. Ding-N-N-N-N-N-N-N-K keeps doing it. There's not a matter-fax here either. 19K, he's literally twice as cost-efficient. How does he complain about? And all he uses is marauders without metaphax. And he complains? His arm, his opponent is like this, he's crafting these composition. Seven arc-calls here, some zealads, some storms. This guy just marauder. Marrada go brr. What the hell? He's building sophisticated compositions, my man mover here, with storms and a single disruptor. Like, how is Epe Me complaining about this? Actually, actually, I think I might know the reason for why Eatme is complaining about storms. This is a little thing called Terran Syndrome, Terran Whining Syndrome, and I could explain it to you, but I actually have a reporter who can do just that. Nikola's Kundening. Are you here? Yes, hello, Kevin. We're here in the hospital at a specialized hospital ward for the Terran Whining Syndrome. I'm wearing a mask this because the air here is filled. with sodium and if you inhale too much sodium there is a chance that you will dehydrate so just to make sure I am wearing that mess now Terran winding syndrome of course we've been seeing a lot more in the past seven eight years in which Terrans really believe that they deserve to win a game after sitting and doing nothing for five to six minutes they're defending their drops perfectly because nothing is going on and then they wind a lot they keep whining they keep whining they start whining to their friends their family, their spouses, their husbands, their wives, and it completely destroys their life constant salt pouring out of their ears and their nose. And that is what all of these people that are right here have to deal with. I'm feeling my lips starting to get a little bit dry, Kevin. And honestly, I don't think I can hold much longer. So back to you with the rest of this I-O-DIS. Always great a talk with my man, Nikola. Now, we have... Okay, look at this fight. No... No... No... No...me... No medevax? Okay, this... These tanks, have they seen any action yet? He's getting his first few shots in. This tank position has been atrocious, by the way. They should, of course, be on the low ground at this point. If you're defending this area... I mean... This fight still was... I think, semi in favor of Eat Me. Or at least... An efficient fight for both... Like, it's a fine fight, you know? And once again, just pure marauder against storm, Arcon, and a disruptor to end it. He hasn't built a ghost. Why does he keep, why did he refer to ghosts? Like it was something that he built. It's too much to control. I had battle cruisers and ghosts and liberators and Vikings. And the guy just builds marauders and mines. Well marauders and yeah, literally marauders minds and some leftover liberators every now and he actually has a good army. He probably it used to fight at this point if he just gets like two ghosts with this he probably would just be able to EMP and then win no scan I mean the way that mover is fighting is really you could have known it in the lobby screen because it's in his name like he's just moving a lot of the time it's not really fighting just moves in with a bunch of units like hmm interesting 30k against 20k. What's this 8 base? 7mage. Counting is so difficult. Holy crap. So glad I managed to finish elementary school. It was a tight call though. If I would graduate from elementary school or not. But I mean after I was done with that, I knew I never had school again in my life. So that was very nice. Nice run by. It's not going to do anything here. I feel like mover might just be throwing away his lead here a little bit. I mean his income is still nice. He's gonna try to expand over here again. Eat me, eat me, eat me. What do we have over here? Nex-I... nexus. People have been complaining that I say nexie instead of nexus. I'm not sure if I'll fix that. It's one of these things... Ooh, he actually lost the wheat. These are glaves? I love this. This is the type of harass I want to see. in the late game the quality 25 adept run by that's shooting a single lip or shooting a single refinery okay eat me is not allowed to complain his trades have been absolutely bananas he's up 15k in resources lost he has the super bunkers he's a bunker over here still tanks are still on the high ground this this ghost academy has never been used by the way i don't think it's ever going to get used it's now mining from the left side i think eat me is winning really hard at this point I think he can actually just move across the map and win the game. He has triple the army supply. You think he realizes? Why is he complaining? Man if I was mover I'd be fuming. It's like literally I'll mine my opponent about like 40k. Still can't win. And then this guy starts talking as well. It builds three turrets in case one wasn't enough for the detection. Like mover better start taking some real good fights or my man Eat Me is over you know it's that's it come some disrupt the shots you can do it move okay he's back on a hundred supply uh or 200 but a 100 army supply now this might be the fight that Eat Me has been referring to just forgets all the other fights that he had in the game it's like this one fight was really broke and I lost it Three Metafax? 31 marauders, 35 Marines. Why did he pretend like he was using the mines and the liberators? There's like 30 army supply on the right side here. Like legit just not doing anything. Was that like six liberators? Four mines? Eight liberators not doing anything. This guy's actually kind of shooting. Why was EidMe pretending like he was microing many things? He's microing a single control group. He doesn't have... He never built a ghost. And now he's gonna lose a fight, most likely, against a guy who's using three control groups, one for Disruptor, one for Templar. See, he is winning this fight as well. It's a semi-even trait. With the worst army composition and half his army on the other side of the map. He's not even replacing anything. What is he doing at this point? He's just looking at the planetary. Oh, I'm repairing it? Oh, it just died. What goes on in his head? Who? Send back my SEVs. I wonder if any units that I could use to defend this fight. What about these? He has them selected. He's just F2ing at this point, not realizing what he has. You don't really know what you've got till it's gone. I don't know what this is guys. I, he's dead at this point though. He's dead at this point, but... He had a single control group. Never... How does he complain about difficult control? He doesn't even know what control is. He literally just F-2ed with a bunch of siege units. I don't think he's allowed to... He's allowed to... He wins the fight in the end. 51K against 30... 20K difference. He lost Depot so he might actually be able to. This could be it. He could start getting supply blocked again. That's the dream. He's gonna move out now. See these DTs, they're like, oh, broken. Does he lose it? I'd be filming, I'm saying, go on shoot! This game is so close, holy crap. 80 supply against 17. But a lot of the supply is never gonna get used because he forgot the unseech hotkey. I have no clue what I'm watching, honestly. No Gigi, no skill. No Gigi, no skill! He left. While up, 30 army supply. apply, this is fantastic. No G G no skill. I have something for you my friend. But first, let's go for this musical interruption. Attention, they flew into sports, Marines what is a splash? I have 308 p.m. We keep pretending that I'm flash. I just nuked his entire army. Oh no crap that was mine Now I lost another letter game and it's time too Balance wine I almost forgot You suck dude Yeah, you do. Don't forget subscribe to my YouTube channel. More videos, thumbs up, and see you all next time for a new IOTIS. Bye bye. Full song coming out somewhere next week once I get my low e-string. My high e-string. Don't worry guys, I got it.


The FLYING DRAGONS BOI RETURNS!!! | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck

Something INCREDIBLE happened today! I woke up to an imbalance complain of our good old friend Derivative who once upon time complained about the IMBA-ness of flying dragons in PvZ! Now he is back with a brandnew case to crack! Will history repeat or will he redeem himself? SMASH like to find out NOW!

Hello Harstem, it's me. Your Flying Dragon Boy. Look, I found investors are so imba, even much more imba than the Flying Dragon. In this game I did a push with three oracles and one immortal when the Zurgis transitioning into Mutas. As my micro was stats alike, it was a great timing attack. He pulled out all his drones and struggled to hold it with a poor one-base economy remaining. While I have three bases and a healthy worker amount, I defended against innumerable mutas with shield batteries and stalkers, And then, I switched into Phoenix. Finally, when I reached a certain amount of Phoenixes, it's my turn to push back and make him pay. However, unexpected investors crushed all my troops and my dream of victory. Investors easily finished off my ground units and Armada, as if they were playing with a bunch of shiny plastic toys. How on earth can he make so many investors after producing so many mutas? I mean, they're all so gas-expansive, right? It's impossible for ProDos have Phoenixes and High Templars with six. team workers. Fungolos are fatal to all Protoss units as my units are all expensive and clumsy. You must watch this replay. Trust me. After that you feel the necessity to delete this broken unit or race as well. My friend is 5.5k in Korea server and this game which I had the chance was really broad on my horizon. I have no clue what the last line means, but I know what the lines before it mean. It means we have a second timer. Mr. Flying Dragon himself, the man who completely complained about mutas originally, my Chinese friend. Welcome back, first of all. Glad to see you're still playing derivative. He's called, sent me this replay, complaining about investors this time. Now, there was some mutas in here, but it seems like he learned at least a little bit from his last run-in with IOTIS. And he didn't complain about the mutas anymore. He built Phoenixes and was fine against it apparently. But now investors are the issue here. they easily crushed his units like there were some plastic shiny toys i haven't seen many shiny plastic toys but i'd love to see him i once i read this i got this email this this this this email and i was like oh my god this is so good i put on my my sweater which i bought in china last year in in chong ching i was like i got a you know i got a go i didn't really want to wake up this morning you know i was in bed i checked my phone and i see this email from derivative I'm like, okay, this is it. It's time to go. And here we are. Oh, man, this is going to be good. I'm really hyped for this. So yeah, obviously our main thing here is to figure out whether derivative sucks for a second time. So a double suck. Or if the investor is broken. And investor is a unit that has been broken in the past. So why isn't it broken still? You might be wondering that's a good question that's a very good question we see just standard openings coming from both players of course we have chronobust on the adapt good Stargate timing this guy knows what he's doing he's about 5k MMR on the Korean server like he's a solid solid player derivative even last time I remember his opening wasn't that bad Stargate probably just gonna go into Oracle's like he said and then the first thing of course we want to be looking at is how well does he do with the Oracle or ass is he just gonna be standing there is he is he going to be sleeping around this you know what sleeping around I hope but just he's going to stay there sleeping is what I meant I if your oracle sleep around you have whole other issues on your hands as messed up just how is your time with the Queen's yeah I was alright you got speed on the way first Oracle second Gateway a couple of adepts. Three, third adept, is on the way here. And after three adepts, he should be taking his nexus. If you're playing Oracle, Oracle as an opener, you should be getting nexus before you get your assimilators. Now, sometimes you see players, you're like, well, the Trap takes his assimilators before the third. That's correct, and Trap does that if he sacrifices his first two adepts. Because with two adepts early on, you're always going to be able to get that third base up very, very quickly. So I kind of expected this. This is a very common mistake for low GM players to high masters, where they take gases and don't focus enough on mineral economy. So it's a small error getting robo before third base. It's very old-school this. This is what we played in mid-2019, maybe mid-2018. I can't quite remember which year it was. I think 2019. So like last year, like 13-14 months ago we played like this. I'm not really a fan of it anymore, though. So it's kind of been figured out. The opponent gets overlord speed, which is good as well. We see four adepts being shaded down, so even warped into more adepts. This base is about 30 seconds, 35 seconds late. It's not ideal really. It's probably going to get a decent trade here though if the Zerg decides to fight this. I'm going to be focusing mainly on these oracles. I don't think... No, won't fall. Okay. So these two oracles. I'm not sure if they're sleeping around with the queens, but they were a little bit too kind for them. So zero kill so far. And he's just going to park them in this little area for... Yeah, for how long? How long are you going to... I like that he keeps selecting them. He's just spamming the hot keys. They keep selecting them again and again, not actually doing anything. This is... This is not good. So, the faster you do damage, which you're already... He keeps selecting them. Why are you doing that? Stop doing that. If you're not going to use them. Stop selecting them. Okay, there we go. The earlier you do damage, the better it is and then... I like this guy pulled away all of his works... Oh my gases are being stasis. They just pull all my works too less. What was this? What was that? Derivative, my man. Why would she do that? Six gates? So it's going up to eight, that's too many. Sixgate actually is the maximum you want to get with this push. I'm familiar with this push. This push is also hitting too late, by the way. I already knew that, of course. I could smell it coming. It's going to be too late. These should be moving across the map already, if you're really playing fast, especially with double Oracle. The problem with eight gate is that you can't really produce out of eight gate. If you continue producing out of six gate, you get the gates a bit earlier, it's fine. You can even fit in a couple of probes easier. Because if you're doing these big pushes, you actually do want to get some probes even if you do kill a third base now really all the harass he's done so far is kill tumors you actually killed not a single drone which is impressive because there's only four queens this middle base is really really vulnerable and even though there's double spores on the sides four queens is not enough because you're only going to have a double queen on one of the bases um oracle should be dealing with these lings very very important that you have some is that this is not how you deal with link run bys you can't just leave seven stalks at home dude what do you is you get a single battery and you leave both of your oracles at home or you even just follow the lings but this is not what you're supposed to do absolutely not it is half of his army against a run by that might not even happen he sends it over at the right again you still leave sword home yeah this is insane you should never play like this it's a no no that's a he lost an oracle he's playing his 77 drones if he doesn't straight up kill his opponent there's something wrong with the builder you know he's hitting at seven minutes and 20 seconds that's like a solid minute minute 10 seconds too late even with a triple oracle this would be a minute too late a minute and 20 seconds today mean the fight is going well the other guy literally has no units except 17 mutas on the way I feel like his opponent can just pull the drones with the mutas and probably win if he fights this with 70 drones and 17 mutas. He's probably just okay. But yeah, I mean it does look pretty good. There's no pro production behind this. Oh he lost his prison. His answer was to warp in eight Sentries ago. I love the decision making. Sometimes he's got to love the decision making. He sees the mutas. Do we have Phoenix production yet? No, not yet. So he still believes he can win. He's floating a solid 1k 500 during this. Now I understand why he's not building phoenixes in some ways where it's like ah come on there's no way i'm losing this right i killed everything i can kind of dig that it's eight Sentries making their way across the map now i mean this this should be kind of okay you just walk over here you kill the workers here you're going to the main kill some workers there and you're completely fine actually he needs to recall at this point yeah do we now have phoenix production okay he finally restarts Pro Production on one of the bases. Wait a second. He said 16 workers, didn't he? A little prick. Hey, check to be sure. 16 workers, one base. He said, why, he lied. He lied. This is 32 workers, that's two base saturation, and there's two bases remaining. This changes things. This is like, some of you guys probably have kids, yeah? When you have kids, and they got in a fight with another kid, the story of your kid is always going to be that he did nothing, he or she did nothing wrong, and the other kid did everything wrong. I remember, I was a kid. I always was like, well, he just started punching me for no reason, not telling the fact that he first threw sand at them and called him an annoying prick. But this is kind of what my man derivative did here, and I almost just skipped over it. This is not one base. This is literally, this is two base. There's two bases. There's basically two base saturation. You lied. That's not very nice. I don't like that. What do you have now? 13 muras, not a single phoenix. First phoenix comes out. About a minute after he spotted the first mura. So there could be about two, three phoenixes out already. Now, still fine position. Don't get me wrong. He's up 17 workers. The only thing really lacking is upgrades at this point is batteries in every base. A single, yeah, okay, maybe the main base is going to be a bit rough to hold without losing too many workers. Should send a couple of stalkers there. Some nice anticipation by my men derivative. I see the lessons from last time. I haven't been completely learned yet. Against the mutas. Anticipation is difficult to find in this game, but, you know, I dig it. We can live with it. He managed to, he lost six workers, okay. Unit loss still in favor of a man derivative, and his opponent is not building any drones. It's building four now, but that's really it. There's two Phoenixes, batteries are good, double Stargate production. I wouldn't mind seeing a forge and a Twilight being thrown down at this point. I mean, you've got to start thinking about the future. Also, plus one on air, probably is a good plan. If you're getting double Stargate Phoenix, plus one helps so much with these double attacks that Phoenixes have. I'd really recommend that. No worker production for quite a while now I feel like We just see very slow working no chronobo's being used For a second I thought we're gonna get three full energy Nexus I nexus XI But we only have two and then one half full so that's 300 energy Luckily there's nothing that is kind of urgent like chrono boosting health Phoenixes There we go. Yeah, good job We're doing it doing it together 42 works against 38 so income is relatively equal the one thing that probably this is what confused derivative obviously is this guy is on 38 workers but is mining from six gas and it's probably going to be mining from 8 gas soon so it's going to just be able to get a lot of gas out these units are very gas intensive that's actually correct both mutas and investors here we have the pathogen glands of course the energy upgrade for the investors and now at this point the mutas are practically useless if he had plus one at this point he's just going to absolutely blast Muralis yeah like it's it's just over you can chase them wherever it's just gonna end please that's that's it I like that he doesn't chase he doesn't quite know what's there might be hydras or something hello okay just make sure okay wait what okay he just moved out with everything he was like you know what I have a lead in absolutely everything let me give that up by moving out leaving nothing behind and having eight lings kill my eco on the third it's a good plan that's a very good plan where's this guy going i love it okay now warps in a couple of adepts okay set up mining again at this base you say continue worker production there's some slight oversaturation in the natural but it's all good Okay, you see spines on the high ground, you see investors, you see a base over here. This is over. Just kill these drones and kill this base, and the game is over. It's really as simple as that. No? You can lift them, yeah. Okay. Well, that's it then. Israeli probes across the map. It was probably for Manor Nexus. My man derivative here, he was looking into the future. It's such an easy win against these noob flying dragons. Okay, now this, this is one of those moments in your life where you have to make a decision. And there's really only one correct decision here, and that's recalling. If you look at this situation, right, we see two necks eyes still alive. We have 34 workers. four workers. And on top of that, this represents about 60% of the opponent's army, which is just going to be killed for free if you recall these phoenixes right now. Is recall available? Recall is available. So all my man derivative here needs to do is recall, chase these bad boys away, reestablish a base. And then you're playing against someone who has five workers in his main base and a bunch of investors and a NIDUS instead what we do we give up the third we give up the natural we move up a ramp into four I feel like he's just doing it to be on the show at this point there's no way you're telling me this is what a grand man ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I'm surprised he doesn't force shoot himself into a smaller square so the fungal can hit more. I don't think he's quite hitting enough yet and he still gets in. This is the worst part. But that is... What? So all he wanted to do was kill four. to do was kill four spines. Did he just lose his entire army to kill four spines and then teleport out. Mission complete. This is insane. He's flaming him. I really want to know what this has. I just can't imagine. He just walked up a ramp to clear four spines. he didn't need to death that's like if if this was a James Bond movie and James Bond does all the things that he does you know he just kill some bad guys lots of fighting gets poisoned by his potential girlfriend and then in the end he just grabbed like a butt scratcher It's like, oh, finally I got what I need and it scratches his butt and throws it out, then walks back. It's like, I feel like you could have just ordered one on Amazon. It's like, probably would have been easier. Like, was this all really necessary? I, he's actually just going to lose to the mutas. But the investor are still here, so under's anitis. This is... This is insane. He's still outmining his opponent as well. That's the best part. He even could have done that as long as he didn't just give away his phoenixes for free. He's going to move out again. I mean, he cleared the spines earlier. So there's no way these spines have been rebuilt, right? He comes back, there's five spines. Dang it, they grow back. There's no way. My man, the flying dragon. That's so painful to watch. 47 supply. Goes over, kills an extractor. I mean, what's he thinking? What goes on in his mind? Derivative. What? What? He thinks it's a base trade, but he forgets there's a base in the main. Or... I have no clue what he's doing. There's a storm on this? No, there's no, there's no, of course not. My way, it's for feedback. This is the feedback time plan. I just don't know what he's doing. He's gonna go back, no? If he walks up another... There's more! There's no way. If he keeps going, I just... I just know what he was going. doing why would he do the things that he is doing why is another extractor is the third extractor he gets is he's doing good business he left this on the life I believe this at 55 HM did they regain help yeah they go they do it dang it investors what now do you see 2 3 3 3 What am I supposed to say? What actually? Am I supposed to say here? His start was good. Well, semi good. A lot of things went all right. The start wasn't great. Some build order mistakes. But he got in a great position. then the first move out i already was a little bit suspicious of right he's up like 15 workers against the Zerg he hard countered the composition all he needs to do is just like if he gets like four char slots the game is just over you know he can even just harass with the phoenixes at that point but he sends his entire army across the map loses a base in the base trade but even then he's up one base against the Zerg that has no units that can fight it has support units and units that are good in base trades so what you do is you just sit at home you get a third third and you win the game. You just get your Archons out or whatever and you just harass with the phoenix if you want. You can keep him at home to defend the units. It doesn't matter. It didn't do nothing. Then he walks on top of a ramp, actually maximizing the damage the fungles could do, and he loses. I feel like the message didn't quite arrive last time, so I'm going to try it in your own language. You suck my friend and you suck real good. That's it for today. I hope you did enjoy this episode of I owe this. Is it? Or do I suck if you did enjoy it? There's more. Oh there, I don't forget subscribe to my YouTube channel. So I'll smash the like button as these things do help me a lot. Thanks all for watching and see you all next time. Bye-bye.


This Voidray did NOT get the buff..... | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck

Harston, I am contact you. And please be gentle. Love your void ray. Love your videos. Voidre the other way around, Kevin. After spotting Bredel... Is it Imba? Or do I suck? Welcome back to a new episode as apparently we were already a little bit too far into this replay. Oh my god. That's stupid idiot. Harsham. I'm contacting you regarding the seemingly unbalanced composition of bio with armored battlecruisers. I am not complaining about the overpowered nature of the troops themselves, but rather their absurd cost effectiveness. I am a 4.1K MMR Diamond Prodos who is rather flustered with the outcome of this game. After spotting battle cruisers early, I quickly rushed to counter, but my attempts were futile. pitiful attacks with my army were easily thwarted by a rag-tag group of battle cruisers and a few marines. I was flabbergasted as to how I could have possibly beaten this terrain without raising my IQ by more than 10 points. Let me know what you think. And please be gentle. I'm always gentle, Voidre. So the question here is, is it Inba? Or do I suck? Let's hop straight into this game. as we have a little bit of a little wall here coming out of our ProDos players on the low ground. Might be confusing this for a PVZ instead. So what did he really say? A rack-tag group of marines and armored battle cruisers, something like that. And he said he spotted the battle cruisers early, but really couldn't do anything about it. There's just some big claims and we're of course, we're going to be seeing if these claims do end up checking out, right? We want to make sure that these claims do check out. So he scouts, it's like, all right, what do I scout? What do he scout? No barracks at home. Hmm, is there gas? Is there gas? There's gas. All right. How much gas? You click the gas. You see, hmm, not that much gone. Reaper. Proxy Reaper. You know, estimation, proxy reaper. What do we do? Core, Nexus. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Pylon gas. Just a standard builder. Standard Corp. No. No. Pylon first. If you get the gas first, what happens is that you'll be supply blocked. Or you can't build workers. One of the two. Both are bad. So now he'll need to cut workers to get his adept out, which means he has two less workers than usual. So even if this Reaper does absolutely nothing, which. which seems rather unlikely as this is a 4.1k mmr diamond prolos player it will already be worth it for the turn killing two works is completely fine. It's getting a bunker please tell me this Reaper at least goes into the main first. Thank God here we go. Okay this is good for the for the terror at least our boy void ray is going to be struggling a little bit I can I can assure you that one two now don't forget this is plus two so every probe that dies you got to imagine the plus all right it's just a just a prob case so you kill three workers technically all right three workers are dead now the way you want to respond to this is not what an adapt but with a stalker and a battery stalker and a battery can clear this if you use the super battery um you're definitely going to clear it without losing anything sometimes i even like to get a battery in my main so when you finish the bunker sometimes they'll jump into the main with two reapers and start killing probes there which is annoying now void ray spots this and then go goes, huh, what should I do? Should I... Should I maybe attack the bunker, build a battery, get some defenses ready? No, just stand over here. Do not across the map. I like this. This is Voidre, the kind of guy that when he has problems at home, goes out to the bar with his mates. And he's like, as long as he isn't at home, there's really no problems at home either. Marriage and shambles. Sure. That's okay. No real big issue. issue what's the worst that can happen it's like the what you call it the the babysitter has to deal with all the trouble it's one adept is not enough the O pair it's gonna leave soon as well yeah what you just want to do is you just want to get a battery here buddy you don't get what four in a row Zero pro production as well. Just cancelled all of them as well. I was wondering where all the money was right? This macro is pretty decent. I guess Voidre is doing some damage on the other side, but it's denying the CC. That shouldn't happen. This is getting rewarded for bad play, and I don't like that. So, I can't believe that this actually happening. There's no way in hell, though, that this actually is happening. You know what I'm saying? this immortal surely is going to attack the bunker right i've never seen two reapers kill a nexus before it took him like two and a half minutes almost three to get it to this low imagine the effort these guys have been putting in like this is the equivalent of like a stormtrooper actually killing a jedi you know like while the jedi is asleep and the stormtroopers can't believe their luck. They keep shooting, keep missing. Like, eventually we're going to hit. And after three minutes, like, the Jedi wakes up and smashes them, that's the immortal. But holy crap, Voidre. You had two and a half minutes of not mining from the space. And sure, the Terran had the same thing, but that's his problem. You know, your problem here was that two reapers and a single bunker managed to actually completely destroy your eco. You're still behind. You're supposed to be up six, seven workers at this point. You're up only four, which is bad. Your opponent has double, uh, double mew, which gives him way higher income. That's, well, way higher. Should give him higher income, not way higher, just regular higher. I'm going to forge Twilight, you have an observer. Okay, so here comes the, the spalling observer that spotted the battle cruisers very early. Ding, ding, ding, ding, tin, tin, tin, tin, tin. These guys are so slow. They look a bit like jellyfish, don't they? Like a mechanical jellyfish. This guy's lucky SpongeBob is around. So we have the Fusion Corps done for the bunker positioning. It's absolutely brilliant as well. I love it. Prism, Robo Bay, Forge, Twilight. I think he's doing the get all the tech, but no upgrades challenge. Oh, here we go. Armor upgrade. Observer spots Starport getting something. He sees two barracks, a bunker, a single mine. Doesn't spot behind the mineral line. the mineral line he also sees something happening here so this is either drilling claws or the cyclone upgrades most likely I would think that this would be drilling clause but maybe he has a different lead as a experienced diamond player now he isn't actually spotting the battle cruiser is he he is aware that there's a tech lab but this could be a raven this could be a benchy technically could still be a matterback or a Viking as well but less likely and as long as he doesn't see the fusion core he actually isn't aware and we see no preparations no batteries no nothing usually oh the battle river could come in and snipe this base couldn't it big scan big scan okay we have an attack at the same time as well so this is going to be weird i think bc probably will stay home ah if it tepees though i think our toss is in a world of trouble here he doesn't actually have that much so all right i just want to pause here for a moment. I say that Armand Voidre said he spotted the battle cruiser early. Now, he spotted the battle cruiser as the worst thing in his life was about to happen. He was about to lose, like, I know, it's going to be like 12 pros. This is not spotting early. This is like, imagine you're having a conversation with your mate, yeah? And you just divorced your wife. And you tell your friends, it's okay, guys, like, I spot it pretty early. Then my wife was cheating on. me and they go like oh really you knew it fast like yeah yeah like when I caught her in bed with the other guy like I just knew it and you're a maze go like what like yeah yeah like I was so sure at that point that's not how it works buddy this is not spotting it early this is spotting it as it happens like I saw the bullet coming oh yeah he had a gun and then he shot you like you noticed a hole in your leg it's not how it works right I missed part of this fight. Salads. Wait what? I want to see this again. Oh no, my analogy was too long and I missed a good part. Look at this, look at this guys. All right. We got, let me explain anything about armor types here, Mr. Voidre. So we got this bad boy does a lot of damage to armoured. Okay. This is the big guns. Okay, there's like insane damage against the. armored. Banker, buildings in general, armored, all right? Look at the focus fire of this immortal. First shot on the tank. Second shot on the tank. Third shot on the tank. Perfect so far. Marine. Marine. Marine. S.E.V. SV. SV. Dem it. Banker has too much HP. move over to the tank. Don't actually end up killing the bunker. This is like having an anti-armor rifle and then using a stick to fight a tank. My friend, you're an idiot. Oh wait, that's at the end. I can't make judgments yet. Perhaps this is imbalanced because the SUVs, they get the aggression from the... immortal and it's difficult to target. Battlecruiser, 14 worker kills. I wonder if we actually move the probes. I don't think so. I think he just, no, okay, he moved some. It just makes me happy to see this battle cruiser absolutely ravaging this guy's life. Four workers up right now. Now, the logical response to this would be to get as much mineral mining as possible, because you're lacking completely. You want a very fast third base, you want to catch up as much an eco as possible, and then you're going to be working with one of the combat mechanics that TOS have. So that's either going to be very thirdly with Colossus or Disruptor, or it's going to be DTs. DT is a good combat mechanic. People make jokes about it when behind Dark Shrine. Yes, when behind you do go Dark Shrine. It's a good freaking combat mechanic. Like, that's just how it worked. Like, honestly, if you're playing like this, you're going to need one handle of a combat I'm getting to get you back into this game. And in that case, the Dark Shrine is a... Hello? What button did I just press? And in that case, the Dark Shrine is a fantastic tool for people like you. I'm also a big fan of the 10 Stalker Squad when all you have is charged. Four more stalkers. Why not? Should you get Blink, maybe? Yeah, we got charged already. One of the Twilight upgrades. This should be absolutely fine. Blink Stalkers also a good way to get back in the game, by the way. I can do a lot of a rats with that, especially in the lower leagues. very poor base defenses very often. So, poof, another big disruptor shot, good stuff. Battlecruiser going back home to be repaired. I mean, there's a motto on this. You can just get himato. I guess he goes for the observer, so I'd go for the observer. Just for banter. Okay, he gets to disrupt. His army is actually quite big. There's literally a tank, five Marines and a battle cruiser. And he sees all of this. I think he could just actually walk in and kill it. If he had blinker, he would definitely win the game. Here we go. So that's a good move. He gets 20 damage on the battle cruiser, lose the stalker for it. I like it and I see that type of micro. Micro, my stalker's real good there, Chief. Alright. You sure about that? I said, are you sure? No upgrades being researched after the armor upgrade. You know what? It's not that necessary anymore. Upgrades are old school. What we want now is a Stargate. Because... I don't know why. What we needed was a third base, a fourth base. He should have been on four base already at this point. He shouldn't have taken gas here and just straight rushed fourth base and then taking gas. And then going to Tempest Colossus or something like, or Colossus Blinkstalker, I don't care. Like his army comp of the Terran is absolutely terrible. He's no units whatsoever. So the only aggression that's going to show up is going to be like a single BC. Voidre Colossus? Voidre's are so freaking bad against battle cruisers. For some reason, people got it in their head that Voidre's are okay against battle crews, but Voidre's suck massively, dude. They get one shot by freaking Yamato, and then they just teleport out. And they're slow, unless you get Fluxvein, then they're pretty fast. I do like flux veins. It makes them pretty fast. I like how Voidre is containing his opponent, while I was a very fast. opponent is outmining him. And he's not even containing him because the moment his opponent wants to leave, he's like, all right, now you piss off. But he's like, oh, okay, sorry. I didn't mean to intrude into your territory. Colossus shows up as well. Three battle cruisers. Please blink in. There's no blink yet. Dish. He really believed he had him, didn't he? I always love seeing that. He's completely unaware of where this game is going. down in income the entire game worse units I think I could just keep warping in units and contain them on two base forever that was his plan here I can see it I can see that was his plan there's no way okay opponent still on look some opponents macroing well by the way look at it look at these the money that this guy's I guess he doesn't have too much income I like that still no blink plus two armor only gets units that benefit from attack. Gets armor upgrades. I love it. No double four cheater. The void ray. I had no clue what he's doing. After that last fight, he's like, I want some more of that. Let me walk into a couple more tank shots. I guess Yamatos aren't of cool down yet. Maybe you should wait for that. Yeah, yeah. Please do wait for that. If he waits for the Yamatos to come off cool down and then goes again, I feel like I might just want to quit this replay. You just pretend this week never, happened and pick up where we left next week you know like what is the use void ray what is the use you think he has a timer next to his PC whenever he gets the amount to put the stop wash and he's like oh he has the amount to again time to attack the least cost efficient man in the world void ray one hell of a guy to have in your company resource management Oh, yes, Yamato is of cool down, here we go. Whop, whoop. Voidres got absolutely blasted by the Marines and the battle cruisers. I don't think anyone could have predicted that now, could they? 1,200 minerals in the bank, no problem. You could say, well, his opponent's also floating 1,500 minerals. It's true, his opponent also has 40 supply, and has more than 50 IQ. So, you know, I've got to pick your battles a little bit here, guys. bit here guys. Fourth base, I like it. I enjoy this. I enjoy this. Now, you might be wondering Kevin, if you even knew my name, Harstam. Why is he still building so many Colossus? It seems like the need for Colossus is not that high here. And I would say, yes, I agree. Because there's very little bio-units. It's picking up now, but There's still very little bio units and it doesn't seem to be the main issue. The main issue is just that he doesn't have enough. Stuff. He has no units. Really? You know why they call me Voidre. I think this is, I think he should ask for a name change after this game. The idiot. Moron. Fool. Crapper. There's lots of names I have for you Voidre. And just because you build three Voidreys this game doesn't mean that Voidray is gonna stick. I feel like a name change here is on its place, Editor. Let me do the animation move. Ching! You'll have some fun with it. Sometimes you gotta give your editor something, you know. Just like kids. Throw them like a candy cane or something like that. Throw it really hard to... BAM! On their hat. No blink yet. Right now we're on 13 stalkers. This is a man who built charge for nine zealots, then lost 16 stalkers without blink and built 12 more. This is the kind of person we're dealing with. The kind of guy to go armor upgrades on his air on units that are going to get one shot by Yamato. the kind of guy that looks at this army of seven tanks and four battle cruisers. Actually, I don't mind the Coloss anywhere. There's 31 Marines. I was going to make a joke, but I stepped back. I looked at the situation and said to myself, no, this is not the time. And you know what? It wasn't. I love the Archons. This is how people that don't understand the game think you counter-battle-cruisers. is by building Archons and Voidreys. Because like well both Dijun's do a lot of damage. But the problem is that they just die before they ever get anywhere. Tempest actually is a good counter to the Battle Cruisers. Tempest, because you need to... Look at these Yamatos, look at that. Pop! Actually, this fight is going a lot better than I thought it would be for Voidray. I thought Voidre was going to get completely blasted here, but he's actually only going... That was a sick blink. I love that. That was cool. This was not a bad fight here for Voidre. I'm surprised. Honestly. I'm actually surprised. Dush! Usually what you do is, like you damage the Voidre a little bit and bam. You shoot it with the Yamato and then all the Voidre's died because otherwise Voidreys actually have insane DPS. But this is actually not looking too bad. Right now, if I'm Voyder, I'm like, okay, I just had a good fight. How about, instead of throwing my lead or my little bit of momentum, I just built 20 extra probes and I actually play a late game from here. He's actually winning. He's doing it. No? He's not doing it. Oh no, he could have killed. this entire base for free. He's still killing this entire base. He had such a good such a good opportunity here. For a second I actually thought he had it. Not due to his own competence, but due to his opponent's incompetence. Let's be real here. This was not because he played this well. His composition still sucks. Voidre coloss is not a composition, guys. Also, please get blink. And stop getting freaking armor upgrades for your... I understand why you want armor upgrades against BCs, but the thing is you don't. You want to just kill the BCs Asaph. When you're playing Stalker Colossi, you want to be doing as much damage as possible. You want attack upgrades. They're cool. Armor upgrades are for losers. Look, you're going to be killing Marines anyway. That's not really going to be the issue. Is this going to be the attack of a lifetime? If he catches him in the middle of the map, he still is absolutely going to get blasted yeah still by the way just a friendly reminder that not a single turret had been built detees at any point in the game would have been perfect I'm telling you guys dark shrines underrated they have this bad I like this this is a good move the base trade is a good move because he knows he can't fight it this is something I see a lot of people actually make mistakes but I like this this is a good move yoink yoink I like that name oh it's a good move Voidre. I like this. Now this is less of a good move. Do you have storm? Do you have storm? No, just had a Templar there. What is this Templar doing? What in this army made you think? I think it would be sick if I have a Templar on which I just save a lot of energy. Was it for feedbacking the Metafax? Maybe he thought he could feedback battle cruisers. It didn't realize not possible. Does he control the Templar individually? I want to see this. No, he doesn't just aim moves everything. One more Templar. This is absolutely fascinating to watch. You know how there's some famous case of people who have very specific type of brain damage and then they study these people to see what the exact effects are of the of the brain damage because you don't really to experiment with people's brains you know you can't just damage someone's brain and study it so what they do is they find people who already have brain damage and then they study them do loads of tests with it I feel like we might have a very valuable asset to the to neurologist here in void ray because I'm not sure what type of of damage this guy has but he is completely out of it we could do so many good experiments with him holy crap just staying on six less than 60 workers the entire game against a turtling Terran bro how do you have so much money all right imagine your void ray and you're sitting on your porch. You don't have a job. Okay. There's nothing wrong with that, but Voidre also doesn't want a job. Sits on his porch and drinks lemonade. He loves lemonade. She's his neighbor go by to his, to his job every single day. How do you neighbor? Howdy Voidre? Comes back at night, worked nine hours shift, back in his house, kisses his wife. They have a good marriage. Voidre doesn't. Next day, same thing. This same thing goes on for 10 years. Five years, five years. After five years, the neighbor comes over to Vojera, says, hey, I'm going to move, I'm going to move to a way bigger house. And Vojer goes like, but how can you afford that? Bro, how do you have so much money? Well, you worked, you prick. Freaking my man, Joink here was building SUVs and mulling bases while you were there drinking lemonade on your stupid porch. That's how you get more money by working for it. Unbelievable. Let me open up this stupid email again. I had triggered again. Quickly rushed to counter, but my attempts were futile. Futile. Futile. Yeah, it's because your immortal started attacking SEVs. He probably actually wouldn't be able to win with that counter attack. He also lost the prism to a cyclone, if I recall correctly. Like, everything in that attack went wrong. He actually forgot the micro, and he couldn't reinforce. And he lost 15 workers to a freaking battle cruiser at the same time. I was flabbergasted as to how I could possibly have beaten this terrain without raising my IQ by more than 10 points. Yeah. Doubling your IQ is a pretty difficult task. Honestly, I don't think Battle Cruiser bio is overpowered, my dude. You can just get tempers. You just get a lot of eco. Any type of harass would have been nice, but you didn't do that either. My friend, this is in balance. You just suck. Declinsed, declinced. All right. Thanks for everyone for watching. Don't go anywhere as we have a little special thing after the credits. But don't forget to subscribe and press the other things, like and stuff like that. See you next time. Start the tape.
