Dear Harstam, I am writing to you today that Terran is so imba. I admit that I am just a low-level platinum two player, but even at my skill, Terran shouldn't have won this game. Throughout the game, I had good storms and good army compositions. The beginning of the game was bad, I admit, but I got ahead eventually. The reason it should be imba is that I had a really good army composition, it's the second time he brags about his army composition, at the last fight, but just because I didn't storm him, I lost the game in an instant. Even my mid-game engagement, in which I recalled, should have ended him but didn't. Is it imba? Or do I just suck as a platinum level player? He throws in a lot that he's a platinum player. I'm not sure if it's like a brag what a lot of the Americans do when they went to like an Ivy League school. He's like, actually I went to Princeton. It's Ivy League. It feels like he's doing this. But, well, you know, we'll give him the benefit of the doubt for now. By the way, nice new imbalance complaint from him. We finally updated the 22. 20 regulations to 2021. And we're only 11 months into 2021. So that promises a lot for next year. Platinum, Protoss, North America, it's the Holy Trinity of Idiocy. So let's just pop straight into it. As we have Assisto here, the top left, who starts with a Kronoboose. Well, this is not promising a whole lot. And we have Judut here in the... I wonder if this guy starts every single game with this. Judith used the rock throw. That is dedication to the part, I have to admit, it is dedication to the part. I like that. You know what? We're going to see if Assisto is going to be capable of catching this opponent of guard. Catching, Pokemon, nice. Or this builder is god awful to start with, all right? You chronobo boost your first workers just to get supply block so that the chronoboose didn't even matter. Gateway at 16, gas at 16. It's going to be one of them games, huh? All right. Well, let's not try to look too closely to the Billsoram. We're still going to, you know, have a quick, a quick look at it, but we don't want to focus too hard on it. It's all I'm going to say. We're not going to focus too hard on it. Second Kronabood. Good Lord. I've had a rough day already, okay? I went outside for a walk and it was raining. and I don't like the rain. It gets me wet and my hair becomes all fluffy afterwards. So now I have to deal with that. And now I'm dealing with a platinum two Protoss who chronobo boosted before his first pylon, gets two gases before the cybercore and still somehow has a cybercore that goes down at 1.30 six seconds later than it should be. Well, okay, platinum two. I'll keep it in mind. Platinum two, I'll keep it in mind. Terran, meanwhile, my man Judeut. He's not only been studying the art of po- No, what is this? It's not only been studying the art of Pokemon, but also the art of build orders. This is an actual build order. Even puts the first barracks in the correct position, and it makes me extremely happy. Why would you do this? I don't even understand what this... Is this the block? the... is it... This was to block the thing, the add-on. He goes factory before ad-on anyway. Does the game look very slow to me? Yeah, it did look very slow to me. Meanwhile, he got supply block at home, but... How is this stalker not out yet? This cybercore finished 30 seconds ago, but he was supply block the entire way through. is floating 400 minerals, gets a battery. This battery might finish before his first unit does. Oh my God. He catches the Reaper in the probes around. Okay, I need to readjust my expectations for this game right now. I need to move down a couple of levels. I started here at the Platinum 2 level. Right now, I'm off camera already, okay? And I think I'm going to eventually, I'm just going to have to move my camera down bit by bit so I can show you guys how far down we are. You'll actually maybe even get to see the floor by the end of this recording. Looks fine. Okay. Terran continues going with something that resembles a build order. It's not the tightest. It's not the greatest, but he's building the buildings semi-correctly. He's loading a fair amount of money. He's getting a third depot when he shouldn't, but the third pylons going down already. After getting supply block for the first time, he got so shocked by that that he decided he'll never be supply block ever again. Because Twilight into Robo, double eBay out of the TaremD4 Barracks. Now we're seeing some build orders. Warpgate will finish. This is just to show how bad the unit production has been. Is that I think he crono boosted two of the Warpgate units and still the Warpgate finishes at the same time as the third Gateway unit finishes. It means, yeah, well it was just a 30 second delay on the first unit. It actually makes complete sense. It actually does make complete sense. It's going to go for four gate blink. Now, for a point of reference, when I would play forgate blink, I can hit on the other side of the map at 505 with blink done and 11 stalkers, a prison, and an observer. 505, okay? I'm very curious to see what this Protoss has in store for us when it comes to a timing. He's on 29 workers. I think I also have 38 workers, by the way, like 39, something like that. Yeah, 39 workers. Let's see what a good friend Assistol has going for him. It's a battery going for him. It starts with an immortal rather than a prison. It's a classic fourgate blink here, where you can't warp on the other side of the map, but you do have an immortal. You can tank a couple of tank shots. One more battery. After not scouting for a long time, he decided that two batteries is now the way to move forward. I don't quite see it, but once again, we'll let him play for a bit. Gets more stalkers. So this is the point where I'd be on the other side of the map with 12 stalkers and a prism, 39 workers. Well, I'd be there for the past 10 seconds already. Right now, a systol has seven stalkers and an immortal and six less workers. Also, no prism. And he's not killing his opponent yet. I'm so curious what the plan is. I also like that he praised himself multiple times on the unit compositions. And so for all he's doing is building stalkers and one immortal. There's no sentry to complement this army. There's no adapt for scouting. He now goes into a dark shrine to get DTs, which is, this is an army that doesn't trade well straight up with pure bio. Okay? It's just, that's a fact. Unless you're near a battery or you're with a choking and you have a bunch of sentries, this is not a great army comp. Adding in another thing that won't help with either AOE or boosting the strength of your army and straight-up engagement like charge wood or like stormwood actually is bad army. It's actually a bad army composition and it doesn't help you whatsoever. Now we see charge coming down. A couple of zealots are being produced. But charts can be done at this point already. Charges started really late for no real reason. You have a third base on the way, which is also very late. but I'm honestly not even going to mention the time anymore because at this point I do not believe that a systol has a timer because if he has a timer and he knows how to benchmark anything he would know that this build order is complete garbage and no matter how brilliant his unit compositioning is he you know he could just have so much more crap than this that it doesn't and even his unit composition is good There's no sentry for Guardian Shield. I just don't like this army. Just not a fan of it. Just not a fan of it. No sentries whatsoever. When you have a majority range army, it's just bad. What is this flank? I just have no clue what this flank is. Okay, now this comes in. Okay, this gets scanned. He could have killed this army like five years ago. Now he's gonna go. He's gonna get it good though. Good start. Blinks forward with four stalkers. Then fights in the choke. Realize his charge finishes up. I don't even... How did he lose that fight? I feel like if he would have moved commander across the map, he would have gotten a better fight. He killed like a tank and lost five stalkers there. He lost more resources so far. That was a hundred percent win that fight. He had much, much more than his bonus. His opponent didn't even have... combat shield yet. I think he was matching Stalger count with his opponent's marine count. This is absolutely phenomenal play so far here. Goes for... What's it called? Shadow Stride? So Shadow Stride on the Dark Templar before getting any form of splash. Ah, this is... If you ever need a guy that does the unit compositions for you, hire a systal because he has something that all the other guys that make unit compositions for you don't have. That is the lack of a brain. Because holy crap, how can he be eight minutes into the game without building a single sentry? Look at this. What has he lost so far? An observer for Zellas. He literally's just been building Zellet Immortal Stalker. Brilliant unit composition. That's what he said, no? I'm going to check again. I hate this when this happens. I had a really good army. The reason it should be Inba is that I had a really good army composition. I had good storms and good army compositions. How dare he say that? This is like a Terran bragging about that he managed to throw out some Marines and marauders, a couple of Mavecs. Like the Terran unit composition is very easy because you just get any unit that starts with an M and you're probably going to be fine. I guess in that way the Protels does have a more difficult job. You have a zealot starting with a Z, the Stalker with the F and the Immortal with an I. That's already three different letters in this army. I wonder if Assisol knows how the alphabet works. Did he also do the alphabet song as a kid, like all of us? I'm not sure. I'm not sure if he did. Oh, scout out of Judeoot? She's the gas? Where's he going to go? Then starts patrolling this. I love that. I love that. It's just scouting for a forays, the entire game through. Neither player is actually doing anything either right away, except assistal is creating the great wall. Here is one, two. All of this is just touching vision. I kind of like it, but it also looks very odd. Just an entire wall with pylums here. His army composition still nine minutes in, no splash. Also, no upgrades, by the way. His opponent is on 2-2. His 1-1 halfway done. And he didn't really take any probe damage, right? He lost three workers, but I think that was all to the Reaper. He just hasn't been. building workers, hasn't been building nexite quick enough, like he's still on three bases. And he has a garbage armours. He also hasn't been harassing. I'm going to go first person here. I want to see what this man does. Is this piling going to get sniped before the DTs finish? No shot. No shot. No shot. No, this guy's just going to scout. Okay, look at this. Okay, so he's controlling these DTs. Okay, maybe controlling was a big word for what he did to those DTs. I want to watch that again. I just want to note that he was doing nothing for the past... He... I didn't even realize this, but he, after he warped in, he just waited for them to finish. Okay, so you're gonna warp in. At 16 day warp in, this is a slow warp in. He just sits here and wait. 16 APM. 0. He's just watching it. Then as he sends them in, he decides this is the time to focus a little bit more on this pylon rather than moving my camera screen to the right. Look at this. Rather than seeing the fact that there's a turret here, now look, let's go back to his vision, he's still paying attention to the matter of fact. He loses both of the DTs, watches in disbelief as both of his DTs go down. He just sits there going like, oh no. I think he's watching this like it's a sports match, you know? Like the sports fans go, no, I can't believe my DTs. So then there's a little bit of a delay. He accidentally hits his mouse with the elbow as he's starting this. And now takes a look at the rocks. Like, oh, there's rocks there. This area is still dark. I can't see anything here. Let me move my entire army here. Oh, he's looking for a Madovac. Oh, he's killing the S. and the MEDAVec. He found it. Yeah, this is a game-winning move. Very nice. Very, very nice. Floating 2,500 resources during all of this, by the way. That's just fantastic. 2,500 resources. For a full minute, he just paid attention to this pylon and then to this dark spot to catch a Madovac. Just didn't macro. That is prioritization, my friends. That is something we don't see every day. Meanwhile the Terran, casually, a hundred minerals, okay? A hundred minerals float. That's a pretty big flex. That's a pretty big flex. Toss still about equal in supply for whatever reason, though. I managed to actually spend some of his money. Army composition, let's just do a quick, yeah, new segment. This is the army composition check. Welcome to the army composition check. Zellet, stalker, immortal, Templar. So, after having Zell. zealot immortal stalker for the first eight minutes. I think he got a stalker and immortal at like the five minute mark. Then he started adding zealots at six. It took him five minutes to get Templar out. So now we have Templar. That's great. Thanks for watching this army composition check. This was sponsored to you by VIP Grenad's not. No free sponsorship for you guys. If you want to sponsor the next army composition check, be sure to send me an email. Fort base going down for... Ford base going down for Judud. As our rock thrower hasn't really done much. I thought Joods would be a little bit like this is great sensor tower positioning, by the way. I love that. He's like really focused. It's like this guy just love Van Diagrams, you know. He just loves them. Except he doesn't know how to get circles in paint. So what he does is he takes a screenshot of StarCraft in game after he builds sensor towers. Then he photoshopps out all of the units on the mini map and he has a van diagram. That's actually what he does. Then he post it as a meme on Reddit. A true story. It's all the true story. I love this movement as well. This is pretty smart because he has vision everywhere else. And then he thinks rather than building another 100 mineral structure, I can just move my entire army here. So if anything comes over here, my entire. army will be here to welcome him. It of course has one small downside and it is if the opponent decides to move over here, your army is completely out of position and by the time you get home, you will have lost two of your bases and probably all of your production. But I mean, if you consider that small downside with a huge upside that if anything ever comes here, which is very unlikely because this is the least popular area of the map, he's going to destroy it with this great army composition. Oh my god, it's time for the army composition. position check. So he has a DT, Arcon, one immortal, seven Templar, actually five DTs. And zealids, still no sentry, by the way. A cybernetics core tech unit, which provides two armor upgrades to your entire army, or at least everything that stands within the Guardian shield range. Oh my God, I can't believe this is happening. I was on the other side of the map without scouting and now my opponent is on my side. Oh, she's going to attack into this. This is Brilliant. Okay, so this is half the army of the Terran. See how this fight will go. EMPs actually hitting. Okay, storms his own zealots. I just want to plant the flag here so everyone can see it. He said great storms. He just had a fight in which there were four ghosts and four zealots and he stormed both of them evenly. So far the storms have not had a net benefit for anyone in this game. He just managed to lose a fight against half of the army of his opponent. I didn't know that was possible. Okay. These were good storms. Well, they were storms and the other guy had mass marines. They're going to hit. Why would he recall? He killed all the ghost. He's like 15 storms remaining. And he goes like, his entire army is bruised. I'm destroying his natural. Now would be a great time to recall my army home. And do nothing again. You've got to be kidding me. This actually can be real life. This actually can be real life. I love that the Terran just completely got blasted in the fight. And he's like, ah, you know, it's time for me to move on the map again. There's no way. There's no way. Oh my God, what a huge error, by the way, out of Assistol. If right now Assistol had his entire army positioned over here, guess what would have happened to this army? Would have gone down real fast. Oh, what a huge error out of him. That's so dumb. God. I wish his entire army was over here. Actually, would have won him the game. Here you see it, guys. It's a predictive moves, except he only did it when it wasn't necessary. Now it would have been great. If only his entire army was there. Okay, here comes the pilot. This army, actually, Terran's macroing really well. Like, he loses a fight and then just spends his money. This is a foreign concept to assistal who wins a fight and then decide, because last fight was so easy, I can probably cut the spending a little bit more even. This is what tends to happen a lot in companies as well, is that if your department functions too efficiently is rather than thinking, hey, this is a very efficient department, let's give them more resources which they then can spend efficiently. People tend to cut the budget of that department even more because they already do so well with so little money. And then they send more money to the departments which aren't efficient. It actually true. There's a word for this, but I forgot it. Ah, idiocy. That's the word I was looking for. No ghost in this army, which means that storms are going to be absolutely bonkers broken here in this fight. Good storms as well to start with. It's one tour completely. Hello, Storm. How are you running away with six full energy Templar against 30 Marines chasing you? That doesn't make any sense. That actually just doesn't make a storm. Storm again, please. Storm everything. Just blanket it in storms. Just blanketed in storms. Just blanketed in storms. Running all away from Marines when you have high templar just makes no sense. It's like if you're a sniper and you see a guy running towards you with a knife like 2,000 meters away from you. You see him just coming and he has a sign saying I'm coming for you sniper and then rather than shooting him you start like undoing your position. You know you start packing up like all right guys I'm done this guy with the knife is coming for me. It's like the storm is honestly is the ultimate a two. That's not a good move command. Still a better fight though than the first fight that the assistal took. He just doesn't use his abilities. Okay, here comes a storm. A couple of feedbacks also good work. He just morphed too full, well half full high templars to morphed to morph into an arc. I didn't like that. 3K in the bank, 1700 gas. This is banging. This is actually banging. And he's going to move across the map and try to kill his opponent. Worker count is equal, but he's on three base. The other guy's on five. So the income is better for the Terran. Okay, storm. We can storm, we can storm, we can still storm. There is still a storm. The storm has now disappeared. There's no prism ever with the Tirm. There's no prism ever with these armies either, so reinforcements are just something that happens at home, you know. A mothership. The master of the army composition does it again. He looks at his opponent's army, consisting of tanks, marines, marauders and a ghost. And he thinks to himself, the best way that I currently can spend my resources is not on immortals, disruptors, colossi. More Templar. Dark Templar with blink. zealots, sentries or stalkers. Yes, I named every single unit, bar the Stargate units, but it instead is to get an 800 resource unit that cloaks my army and does very little DPS. That is the type of army composition decision making that I just absolutely love. I thought that he was joking when he said he has brilliant army compositions, but he really does. I mean, this guy is completely lacking any colossi. I don't even think he has a hotkey for disruptors. And he hasn't built a sentry yet, this entire game. No. Free two armor, the sentry. It's a hundred gas, two armor, extra, for all the units in the Guardian Shield. That's beautiful. That is just beautiful. I love this. This is the type of decision-making that I wish I had in my life. This is like having the ability. to get a full free ride on like some scholarship to an Ivy League university. But instead, you decide to become a pro gamer in a 12-year-old computer game in a genre that is that, like RTS. That would be some really bad decision-making. And that is kind of what we're seeing here from Asistel. If this works, I'll actually be upset. He just sieged up on a man's army. I didn't even know that was possible. That's like building a house over someone. Or a prison. Like building a prison cell around him. Like, ha ha, caught you against. I'm going to damn flabbit. I should have ran away after I saw the bulldozers and the machines that build buildings. I don't know what machines built buildings. Dropped out of high school. All right. Storms. Do we get them? Complete invisible army. Gets everything he impede. Loses the fight. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the king of the army composition. This is long fight. It was a long fight, dude. It was a very long fight. You were all out of PP, my friend. All out of PP. I didn't get my storm up? This is the level of analysis that I need in my life. While I'm floating 5K resources and having a mothership in an army, I need to think to myself, I wish that I could have gotten my storms up. In this last fight, if he would have gotten the storms up, it wouldn't have mattered. He was actually dead. He was fighting into seven tanks. Well, actually more. There's like infinite tanks here. This was not it. And honestly, it's funny. You know, you see Judeut in the loading screen and you think, ha ha. I'm going to catch this bad boy, but the only one doing the catching here was Judeo. And he caught some MMR. Assistol, let me read your thing again because this is mind-numbing to me. I admit that I'm a low-level platinum two player, but even at my skill, Terran shouldn't have won this game. No, that's incorrect, especially at your skill, Terran should have won this game. Because at your skill, nothing is happening. You do nothing. You're floating money. You're watching two DTs run into. to a turret for a minute straight and then you stare into darkness for another 50 seconds. You had good storms and good army compositions. There were some storms which were good. Well, now let me say it like this. Almost all the storms that you cast were good. But you just didn't cast a lot of storms. This is like if you're a football player and you have two shots at the goal and one of those goes in, you know? You look at the statistics and you say, well, you know, I shot twice and I scored once. It's 50%. I had a good game. And then your coach knocks you out because you also decided to not shoot 10 times while there was an open goal straight in front of you. Like, technically the sentence that you had good storms is not incorrect or false, but in the context of the game that we just watched, it is just not very genuine to say that you had good storms. It had good army compositions. Well, you didn't have multiple compositions. You had one composition with Stalker, Zeal at Immortal Arcon, and you added Templar and there was one or two colossi at some point as well. It was a fine composition, but there were no disruptors. Immortal count was lacking once the tanks were out. Immortal count was lacking once the Thor's route. You never transitioned into carrier either, which you could have done if you wanted to. So, I mean, it's not really, like you just built every unit that Toss had, except the San three. and then you went, ta-da, good army composition. Also, you didn't build a disruptor. So actually, if I were to compare you to other toss players, it wasn't that good of an army composition. Like, the Terran also didn't have the greatest composition, but you also really didn't. So on the army composition, you're going to get a big fat, you lied, stamp, because you lied. You lied to me. It wasn't a good composition. At the last fight, just because I didn't storm him, I lost the game in an instant. Now, I'm going to, I'm going to play this last fight one more time. Okay, I'm going to just play this last fight one more time. And you can tell me if you lost this fight because you didn't storm, okay? I have a feeling that wasn't quite a case. So here comes the mothership. Please note, 72 army supply against 113. Okay, let's see what the storm. You fly into or you walk into six tanks. You move command forward. You move command into your army. guy, you catch an EMP with your entire army, all of it, you clump it up so that the EMP can hit everything at once, and then also you don't storm. If you would have had 15 storms, all being covering your opponent's army, you still wouldn't have won the fight. The other guy literally had 11 tanks. There's 11 tanks in this army with plus two vehicle weapons. The issue here wasn't that you didn't storm. The issue was that he beat you already, and you thought you could still win. This is not the reason why you lost. So you probably wanted to, oh, Terran can win games instantly and Toss needs to keep pushing like little damage out. No, you, my friend, were just dead. This is, this is not it. Your mid-game engagement in which you recalled should have ended him but didn't. Because you recalled. Like, obviously. It's like a boxer saying I could have catoed him, but I stopped hitting. So he didn't get catoed. He's like, yeah. So keep hitting. Why didn't you do that? Also, for that, you lied again. Boom! Well, technically it's not a lie. It's just so weird to say. It just doesn't make sense. They're technically not lies, but they're... It's just wrong. It's just wrong. You, my friend, it's not Inba. It's not Inba. Terran is not broken. And this Tarrin didn't play that broken. And you had good chances of winning. You... You just sucked. That's the reality of things. Poc. All right, that's going to be it for today's episode of Is It Inba? Or Do I Suck? I hope you had a great time. If you did, don't forget, did the like button, subscribe to the channel.

MY ADVICE MADE HIM WORSE?! | Is It IMBA Or Do I Suck?

Our good friend Diabolous is back! I don't remember him. I also did not check, if he really was on before. So technically, I don't even really know, if he is a second timer. But whatever, I will flame him - I mean, find the imbalance regardless! Also: Smash like & subscribe!

Dear Harsham, it is me, your loyal fan Diabolus. After my last IOTIS roasting at your hands, I have re-emerged from the murky depths of any platinum with another balance complaint. While my MMR has not improved, my macro, and fundamentals have, it is for this reason that I submit another Iyotis complaint against Zerg, because I am so much better now that the only reason why I lost this game is because of imbalance. Zerg is completely broken, despite having a nine, 90 supply lead at the 12-minute mark, Bainlings eviscerated my army. Zerg's ability to quickly remax and spread creep meant I had no chance to respond. I attacked effectively, destroying three Zerg bases, and having an advantage in bases over my opponent throughout the match. Despite this, Zerg waltzed over my army, as if I was playing against Seral, so Harstem. Is it Inba? Or do I still suck? Now, first thing to notice here, is that this guy is abusing the caps lock like it's a YouTube title and I do not approve of that my friend let's uh let's keep the capital letters for the start of the sentence and and that's gonna be it let's keep the capital letters for the start of the sentence but once again i'll have a look at one of your games here diabolus as you're complaining about Zerg let's see what happens this time around i'm gonna be real with you i can't remember your game from last time at all Bera, bera, bidip. Turbo Dap. That's awful. A lot of good decisions being made here with Diabolus. Not. My man Diabolus is going to be the most jealous boyfriend in the world as well. You have to start from zero. You have nothing. You need to create these things out of thin air. That's going to be a difficult and long process and I don't really want to help you with it. and that usually when it comes to IOTUS is a positive thing. It probably meant that you weren't one of the top five idiots because I tend to keep a list of top five idiots in my head that if anyone ever anyone ever shows up in real life and says, hey, I am this guy, I know a top five idiot and you can just keep walking, don't have to shake the hand, you know? This is the types of you don't want to touch these people because that is dangerous. They might try to steal some of your IQ or accidentally you catch what they have. which is a low IQ. So you didn't make the list and that tends to be a positive thing. We're going to see what you'll do here in the early game. As your opponent, Life of Adam, that is the less popular version of Life of Brian. It's actually made before Life of Brian. Not a lot of people know that. Not quite as successful though. Start with a drone scout. You start with an SCV scout as well. So you're going to be able to get some type of information and you'll immediately see the lack of a quick, hatchery. So this is not a hatch first. You should be aware of this. After you scout this, oh, you are aware of this. He's like, hey, wait, this hatch isn't done yet. Let me double check and leave again. All right. I'm completely down with that. You know, if you weren't sure, that's completely fine. You're going to get a second factory. Beautiful lineup here, by the way. Look at that. So I just want to note what happened here is this SUV in the depot was about the finish. And rather than using this SUV to build a factory, they built a factory. here, you decided to send an SCV from your main to walk over here so that this SCV could go straight back to mining. Now, this is the type of inefficiency that Germans have nightmares about, you know, or the Swiss. I think the Swiss might be more efficient. Now, Swiss are precise, Germans are efficient. And then he walks back. Okay, this was insane. This SUV, finished the depot rather than building the factory, walked to the minerals, and then from the minerals, rather than mining anything, straight went and built a bunker. Beautiful. Absolutely love that. That's so great. Rather than using the Reaper to go across the map, you use it to kill the extractor. Now, people could say, ah, what a stupid move. But actually, that's not a stupid move at all, because your opponent is playing a pool first, and thus it's very possible that is hiding lings on the map. Going across the map with the Reaper would actually have been potentially a pretty big mistake. Something that I would recommend is scouting with your Reaper after building two marines. The bunker is a good call, but you go two marines before the reactor, and then you can go tech lab on the factory. In case you see roaches, you go for a cyclone. If you don't see roaches, you just swap the barracks with the factory, you go helions, and you can just put the barracks on that tech lab and you can start stim or something, get your star port up. Rather than any of these things, you had no units in the bunker that you just, oh my God. How did that even happen? Okay, well, you're still going to lose the bunker. You have no helions on the way whatsoever. You didn't start a unit from this either because your gas was too late. You're floating 600 minerals. Well, your star port is finished. Now, your early game build order here, I'm going to have to be real. It's a bit of an embarrassment. And it's not just an embarrassment for you. It's an embarrassment for NA. And it is difficult to embarrass North America when it comes to bad. builders because they've seen some bad builders all right that is all that happens on the american server but you my friend you pushed it again double barracks and third cc going down at the same time an absolute classic of someone floating 800 minerals at the four minute mark just love to see that base is lifted now you could be thinking kevin you're being a little bit negative is it really that bad yes this is this is really bad um it just yeah it was awful you have a tank now which is practically useless because you're not facing roaches. You could have known that you weren't facing roaches by sending in your Reaper earlier after the second Marine, which you didn't do. And now you're going to lose all your Marines on the low ground one more time. You're going to lose this mule most likely as well. Yep. Another SCV goes down as two. So this is just been terrible so far. Okay, this has been, we could classify this as a bad start. The only good thing here is that probably because you weren't microing your Reaper with 900 APM, like sometimes you see platinum players do, rather what you did here is you actually build some things. I'm just a fan of people that do things, you know? Even though they're late, even though they're slow, you do have a third CC and you're actually macroing. And this can actually be an advantage. I have a theory. This is a theory that is not based on much data yet, but I have a theory that when Terence in lower levels get attacked and they're forced to stay at home that they have a higher chance of winning, even if they're behind after the attack, purely because they have no units to micro, because the average Terran player, like they think they're clam or Maru, but in reality they're still just platinum. So what happens is they'll spend the entire time focusing on their Reaper and two aliens, making sure that they can deal 25 damage to a queen while taking as little damage as possible. in the meanwhile floating 1,700 minerals at the 5 minute mark, forgetting their e-base, even forgetting their second and their third racks, their third CC, no SUV production. But this guy, look, Diabolus hasn't been focusing on anything aggressive, and he's just been building SUVs. He has e-base ready. Sure, the timing isn't correct. He doesn't have any gas to start any upgrades. He accidentally opened up with two tech labs to go Stim and Combat Shield at the same time and thus completely limit his own marine production. But all of these things are details. Okay. Oh no. The first liberator is out. But the Ebola just shift clicked it in and isn't actually paying attention to it. This is beautiful. This is the type of terrain I love to see, you know? The Terran that says, I know that I'm not good and I'm not going to pretend that I'm good. I shift clicking in the liberator and what happens happens. Oh no. Oh my God. He looked at it. He thought he could micro it. See, there's no use, my friend. Just keep it there and don't pay attention to it no more. It will do. You know, Terran sometimes just kind of plays itself. You got to trust that. You know, you got to trust the race in this case. Trust the Terran. Now, we have Life of Adam, actually a little bit behind after that. Not quite sure how, but he's not in a great spot, honestly. Even though as we speak, we're getting two marauders produced from two barracks. Now, that's obviously not the way you want to play. You always want to have as many Marines as you can, even from the Tech Lab, that you usually have to get stim and afterwards combat shield. Don't produce marauders unless you're playing against roaches. Marauders don't really do a lot against Ling Bane. They're good against tanking versus Bainlings, but honestly the damage output of the Marine is so important that you just want to get as many Marines as you can, as long as there's no roaches, of course. Spires going up. Another reason why Marauders not as great at the start. Hmm. Because they don't shoot up, obviously. It's really just... as simple as that they yeah they just don't shoot up so just got to kind of keep that in mind all right two meta facts are now coming out of this changeling is hiding well look at that changeling looks a lot bigger though than the others now it does look slightly bigger is it always looking bigger or am i just going wild in the head might just be the angle that it's at oh over here in the main base he's basically everything here for a life of adam first six Muralisks are on the way as well. We're going to be looking at what the possibilities are for Diabolus here. He said around 12 minute mark. He was up, I think he said 70 supply or 90 supply. Now he said 90 supply. Was up 90 supply. We'll see if that's actually going to be the case. Or if he lied. You know, sometimes people lie to me and that's completely okay. Except I do need to know that, you know, so I know what kind of person we're dealing with. officer flies through the turret all good let's take a look at this control over here if there's going to be any control of course all of it getting spotted here by the changeling banning run by is not quite going to succeed i always like to pass my army on the edge of creep as well just to make sure that my opponent can really get that boost on the banlings until they truly reach my army this should be a really bad fight for the Terran it is a really bad fight for the Terran you just kind of forgot the micro there they just didn't do you just walked over and took it not ideal okay you do need to use stim and probably split a little bit siege your tanks all of these things tend to be very useful it feels like diabolus is pretty much just almost dead at this point honestly it's just very far ahead in eco for whatever reason we see live at them add a couple of extra drones right now This Muralisks will try to take out the refinery. We'll attack this turret as well. And I mean, a repair should be possible. There we go. Repair will be able to take out this Muralisk. Individual Muta Lisk micro. This is something we don't see every single day, especially not when it comes to the lower leaks. A little bit of oversaturation is all. I wonder what's going on here. So we have a couple of supply depot drops. Look at oversaturations. You just keeps building workers as well. That is way too many. workers for the amount of mineral patches that there are my friend it's like the gold rush holy crap there's only so many spots we can mine from guys not everything here is made of gold 31 SVs out of 16 that is truly oversaturation more workers less income absolutely good grief threat by the way to be fair we haven't seen a single scan yet out of Diabolus he's been using all of that energy on mules and he's been using his army to basically function as bait for bainlings. Not quite sure what the bait is there. It's like, hey, explode on these marines. They're very tasty. He's like, well, that's kind of what the Zerg wants as well. So I'm not sure if that's the optimal play here. Life of Adam's floating a little bit of money. I'm going to say a little bit. He's floating about 2.5K right now, and also 800 gas. So you could say, man, my opponent is so much worse than me. He's floating so much. while I'm also floating a lot, but a little less. But then it's like, well, if your opponent manages to survive while floating 4K resources, really it is you who sucks. Like, it should not be possible for your opponent to be down 50 supply at the 11 minute mark and there to be no consequences because you're just not attacking. Because let's face it here, Diabolus did one attack over here. He got completely destroyed. And ever since then, we haven't seen a drop. these tanks aren't sieged either so it feels like he should be moving out any second at this point actually have no clue what he's doing at this point it's just adding more turrets always like to check first person he's an orbital on the fort as well this is the type of move that switzerland would pull as another war is about to ensue it's like hello we're in a war zone here in switzerland and it's like no no we're staying neutral i'm not quite sure what a swiss accent is It's like a semi-German accent. No, no, we stay in neutral. That's a Swiss accent. I know it. I know you, Swiss. All they care about is money. See, he's mining. Making sure they get the optimal resources while the rest of the world fights. You don't give a crap, but really get a planetary at your fourth basis, guys. It's way better. Tank siege? Good start. This is the 12 minutes. This is the 12 minutes. He's not quite almost up 90 supply. It's 80 supply. Oh, well, 70-ish. 74 supply, it's almost 90 supply, the 12 minute mark. That is pretty good. It's going to be taking out a couple of these drones. Scanned creep as well. So he's taking out a bunch of the creep. Didn't really take out the first part of the creep, though, just the middle part. I know you guys have heard of the cutting off the head of the snake, but Diabolas here is inventing a new one. That's cutting out the middle segment of the snake, because that's really the body of the snake. You know, what is a snake without its body, you could ask? And that's the type of question that we need to ask here. It's going to be taking out this basis. Honestly, this game feels really over. 35 bailings on the way. It's hard for me to believe that all of these banlings will connect, especially as there's four tanks. And we could just clear some creep, send the next reinforcements, see these tanks a little bit more forward. I would recommend using the tanks that right now is your only form of splash damage in this army. And then, I mean, you can just have a really nice position. you're he never really was up 90 supply but yeah 80 supply then you know we'll walk out he'd say 90 right if it's 70 I'm actually gonna lose it the yeah 90 supply lead at the 12 minute mark that is yeah that is well count that okay walks back over creep towards the right side I love this so much it was like okay I just spent the past four minutes clearing every single creep tumor on the left side taking out this base, basically getting to the head of the snake, but then he remembered all of a sudden that he was going for the middle of the snake, so once again he wants to start clearing creep on the right side while keeping the beginning and the head intact. This is absolutely brilliant. This is high-level Starcraft. If Clem is watching this, take note, Young One, because this is the type of stuff we need to see at the high level. This rotation was fantastic as well, by the way. I think we might actually have a fight here. I'll get to that rotation in a bit. Tanks could have been sieged. They're going to siege as everything runs in. They get one shot off. Clumps every single unit on top of each other as much as possible. This is very impressive. So, so far we've seen two fights, and Diabolus is starting to convince me that he might not actually have hands. He might be playing this game with his feet. The level of micro that we are seeing here is so insanely. low, that I really would be surprised if you could actually perform a trick like this. These banlings also were completely unexpected. I think he saw the entire path from the banlings here to the command center over here. That's like a 35 second warning that he had. He's like one of the slow friends. If you ever do the thing where you throw an object at Diabolus and you say catch quickly, he won't even realize that something hit him until like 30 seconds later and you can always blame it on someone else. It's like the ideal franta prank, the ideal franta prank. That rotation, by the way, that we saw, I want to come back to that. So he went from here, walked back over the creep, not even through this middle area, because the creep here is more dangerous. It's the middle segment of the creep. Let's not forget about that. Walked back to the head of the creep, over here, on top of this, then go here, clear the creep tumors in the middle, not the active tumor, the tumor in the middle, to walk into a base without being sieged. This entire rotation was so insanely slow, it just gave the Zerg so much time to prepare. I'm not even quite sure what the goal was either. It's like you really like killing the edge bases. Rather than just sending a double drop here and keeping this position, you decide to run your entire army around the map for a minute and a half. You're the type of guy in the gym that between his sets just browses to. fitness reddit for 35 minutes. By the time you start your second set, your body doesn't even realize anymore that you did something in the first place. So it's completely pointless. It's like people always say rest well in between sets. Like you might as all take a nap in between it made. Like, you're freaking resting in between rotations. I've never seen something like this. The point of rotations is that they're quick and that they confuse your opponent. You might have all had like a massive sign on your head saying I'm going to attack the middle creep segment on the right side right now. You just don't control your units either. Like you're just standing still. I don't actually understand how this is possible. Like what were you even looking at here? What was more important at this point? Oh my god, you have 9K resources. I got so upset at everything you've done so far that I completely missed the fact that you haven't built a single unit in the past five minutes. Okay, what are you looking at? What is this? Are you building a star part? Looking at the barracks? Your entire army gets blasted. You're standing on the edge of creep. This is brilliant. You don't even realize until your army is completely dead. This is absolutely fantastic. Your opponent is moving... Is this the game? What even was your complaint? I don't understand this at all. I think you complained about your opponent being able to remax and spread creep. Your opponent spread creep all right, but mainly because you didn't take out any of the creep tumors. But remixing, your opponent hasn't been maxed once. Your opponent hasn't even gotten above 130 supply yet, I believe. Maybe 140 once. You just... You just ignore your units. It's like a first date gone wrong and you just ghost them. It's like, oh, I don't actually want to talk with you guys no more. That's not the way, my friend. Free Max, he said. I can't believe you complain about it. This guy's 1.23 supply. You're just not controlling. What are you doing? How is this more vital at this moment? As 12 Ultralesk, if your country, wherever you live, well, America probably, judging by this game and the server you play in, If America ever gets attacked, the guys are knocking on your door with the guns. You hear grenades explode. You're the type of guy that checks on his tomato plant to make sure you'll have tomatoes next summer. It's like, hello? We have a slightly more important business going on right now, buddy. Grab your firearm, start shooting. Okay, once again, we do get some units out. Up in supply, one more time. We've been consistently up in supply. opponent hasn't remixed once because in order to remix, you first need to initially max, otherwise it's just a max out. Life of Adam hasn't maxed out yet, and thus a remix is literally impossible. You just lie to me. This is not a remix. And it's such an obvious lie as well. You could have just seen this. This is like telling your wife you're going to the strip club because they make a mean tuna sandwich. Like, it's just not true. I know it, you know it. Your wife knows it, who now left you for a more successful person. that can micro is units. This is just painful to watch. Infinite energy as well in your command centers. What even is this? 5.3-t-t-tete-t-t-t. You're like 12 mules. Okay, I can't... No, actually, 12 mules, maybe. Very possible. You might have actually 12 mules. Okay, here we go again. Seach the Liberators? How? Okay, we get a stim. Liberators are fighting. No control back. This is actually bonkers to watch. You're just not doing anything. Okay, I'm gonna watch this fight again. I just wanna see what you see. I wanna look at the world through your eyes. Are you actually from Switzerland and you just wanna remain neutral? I know that Switzerland is like the mandatory military service as well. So they train all these soldiers that they don't really use and feel similar to you. Like you have a lot of money? They have a bunch of soldiers but you don't really want to use them. Like you're looking at the fight, okay, now you start seething. You just don't look at your army ever. And you probably have the mini map turned off or something like that. I wonder if that's an option that I'm just not aware of. Probably to put in a lot of work to get that going. Three tanks are still siege in the back. It's like, oh wait, tanks don't actually shoot up. If you keep attacking with this army, I'm going to be extremely upset. Please send it back home. Or just leave it here. I don't care either. Another first date ghosted. Back to the new army. I like this army more now. Oh my God. Good Lord, you're awful. Oh, here we go. F2 did it? Nice. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. Uh-oh. The moment I see something appear on the mini map, I just get extremely afraid because I know what you have shown before. Okay, tank siege up. Your army is huge. Your army is way bigger than your opponents. You actually feels like you're kind of in the lead here. Honestly. It feels like you should almost be capable of just straight up winning this game. Your opponent is at 171 supply, so really close to maxing out for the first time. I'm going to be able to take out this base. Do these broodlers have any upgrades? Plus one on air and the broodlings will have some upgrades, which is nice. Okay, you scan. You see... What was this scan, actually? You just move there and you see there's no creep. Rather than scanning up the ramp. Now you see the brute lords. Okay, huh. I have about 35 marauders in this army. 25 Marines. I bet this is going to be great. A great idea. This is a brilliant blink. I love that. Brilliant teleport. I don't think your units are stinted anymore at this point. Not targeting down anything, really. Just fighting the broodlings. The broodlings and the hatchery have priority here, by the way. This is great. Now the Ultras come in? These Brutlords are actually going to win the game, aren't they? Battlecrues are the answer. No Vikings. No ghost. No Thor's. He's almost plus three on the armory. Continues building tanks. It's like, huh. I feel like that tanks have really been proven to be worthy so far. I'm sure I haven't sieged them up yet at all this game. My opponent right now is eight Brutlords, but I feel like more tanks is really what we need. There's no Thor production whatsoever. Two, three Thor's would absolutely destroy this. Four Thor's then. Four Thor's would absolutely destroy this air. There's no ground army, except for a couple of Ultras, but no lings to really annoy your units. So Thor's would be super good. They wouldn't be getting bugged out too much. Okay, you don't stim, no meta-fax? Like, you just don't use your units. And I don't understand it. It's really like your... you're just playing without hands. It's like, are you playing with your feet, Diabolus? If you send me an email saying that you play with your feet, I will put up a rectification next time around. I'll be like, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for making fun of you, my friend. I didn't know that you were one of the first feet players, you know, and that you just like to juggle at the same time as playing. But you haven't controlled your units once in a single fight. You haven't made any good decisions. Hey, you're an actual donkey. And although I do look a little bit like Shrek, if you and I would be starring in a movie together, I'm afraid you wouldn't make it out of the swamp because you'd probably drowns. Like, no, I can swim with my feet. It's like, mate. This is not it. Your opponent might actually hit Max though for the first time in this entire game by the time it ends. by the time it ends. You're actually behind in supply for the first time in a big way. You still have a terrible army. You continue building battle cruisers rather than Vikings or ghost or Thor's. This is a good fight if you stim. If you stim and control, this could really be a good fight. This was not a bad fight, honestly. You killed, what, three, four ultras? This is probably more that you killed with 200 supply armies against like 90 supply earlier. like it really is as easy as just stimming and controlling your units a little bit but you decided not to do that i i respect life of adam by the way creed rat marvelous um unit control of life of adam yeah has been pretty good unit compositions have been pretty okay as well life of adam guy has some real potential here it's not the quickest when it comes to spending money not the greatest early game but i yeah i definitely suggest playing more like life of adam than playing like diabotia But then again, I really would not suggest playing like Diabolus whatsoever, ever, in a million years. You think Diabolus is just dead, no? I like that he stays in as well, till 26 supply. Mate, you didn't manage to win with 200 supply against 90. What makes you believe that now you can win with two Marines and one marauder? Usually as well, when Terence stay in with very low supply, they start microwing their units, like a creptle, you know, I have like five Marines against 35 zealads and they're stutter stepping and they're picking up. individual Marines, except Diabolus doesn't know how to do that, so he's just standing there and still looking at his unit. Like with nothing else to do, he still didn't manage to stim his Marines immediately. This is just extremely impressive. Ah, we're not going to, we're not ever going to hit Max. Quick Gigi out of life. He had it ready for like the past five minutes. He was just sitting like this, you know, getting ready in the moment his opponent type Gigi, you go, pop, Gigi, got it in. All right, Diabolus. Let's have one more look at your imbalance complaint for you said your micro, your macro and your fundamentals have improved. Now, if your micro has actually improved from last time, then I'm going to have to go back and look at your micro from last time because this was honest to God, some of the absolute worst micro that I've seen in my entire life. I've watched gold replays, I've watched silver replays, I've watched bronze replays, all players worse than you. But this is just, you just didn't control anything. anything. Didn't stim, majority of the fights, almost never sieged up, or never sieged up in time, and some fights you didn't even siege up during the fight. You complain about Zerg's ability to quickly remax and spread creep. It doesn't matter because even the fights of creep, you still lost because you didn't control. Creep only matters for speed, but the speed of the Zerg army doesn't matter if you're not controlling your units. So the two things you complain about the remax and the creep spread are completely irrelevant. Remax didn't happen, and creepspread doesn't matter because you're not moving anyway. You attacked effectively. What do you mean effectively? You rotated a five-minute rotation where you could have just killed your opponent by seizing forward. How is that effective? Destroying three Zerg hatcheries. Just because you destroy three Zerg hatcheries, that's not very good. Imagine I'm in a boxing competition, okay, and I knock out my first three opponents. You might think, wow, that's pretty good. Then I get knocked out in my fourth match. And then I say, well, I had a good performance at my boxing tournament because I knocked out three opponents. But then later, if you learn that I was fighting against three-year-olds, all of a sudden you think, wait, how did you get knocked out in your fourth match? And that's what I'm wondering. Why did you only kill three? You're freaking a 90 supply lead, a better army your opponent had like, 30 banlings and six mutilisks against an actual Max Terran army Why wasn't only three hatcheries? Why didn't you eat his hive as well? Like you should have eaten this guy alive with what you had and you didn't You played freaking terrible, this Zerg waltzed over your army as if you were playing against Cyril, no, this Zerg waltzed over your army as if you were microing with your feet So Harsham, is it Inba or do I still suck? Diabolus, you've gotten worse This is not imbalanced. You suck. You suck. Real hard. All right. That's going to be it for today's episode of Is It Inba or Do I Suck?

The PERFECT 14 Pool Response! Or Is It? (of course it's not, but I have to clickbait you guys!)

Dear Harstam, in this game I was ahead since my opponent opened with an early pool, so I reacted correctly against that. I also built a battery to be safe because he had an extractor. I don't know why he didn't detect me. For this reason I sent my units across the map and kill some drones. In the scouting I saw no third base and a weird build order focused on upgrades. What a weirdo, god. In the midgame I had three bases and a high-tech army. Zerg had no micro and was constantly rebuilding his entire army. I had some favorable battles with huge disruptor connections. But then he showed up with another 200-200 army on my side of the map. Maybe my mistake was the counter-attack before having more reinforcements or waiting for my upgrades. I don't know what to do against that type of stuff. Is it Imba or do I suck? Name Raul, race, Protoss, league diamond, surher, North America. Indeed. So we have Raul who struggled with an early pool. Well, no, he didn't struggle with an early pool. He had a good time against an early pool. He was very far ahead, gone into a high-tech army, and then still somehow managed to lose the game against some weirdo that opened up with lots of upgrades. So, yeah, let's just have a look what exactly happened here. And now I'm inclined to agree with Raul already. I mean, his iotis form is very, very compelling. I have to give it to him. And I'm almost feeling like shipping. I mean, this is an early pool. This is a 14 pool. This is one of the faster pools that there is. You have a 12 pool before that, and then you have a 14 pool. So it's the second, oh, this is not a build. I am whatsoever aware of. Okay, that's a quick extractor as well. That's cool. Raoul, like the safe player that he is. and superior intelligence, scouts his opponent and wants to get some good reactions going. I like that. Opens up with a gate expand on the low ground. And this is looking fantastic already for Raoul. I'm a big fan of Raoul already personally. I also like the little thing that he has on the U. I don't know what it's called. I'm sure loads of you will make fun of me for not knowing what it's called. But I like that. The little dish, you know, it gives his name a little bit of character. Okay, so he scouts, sees that there's a single, a single larva turning into eggs okay sees the lack of a hatchery right right now if this was a regular 14 pool and your opponent is pumping out six eight or ten lings this is a good response no this is not a good response you're not supposed to chrono your salad you're only supposed to get a single zealot. However, if your opponent goes a 14 pool and builds two lings, you actually have nothing to fear. You can get a zealot if you want to, but in my opinion, you could just get a nexus out for all I care. This is a little bit like seeing a wasp flying around and calling the exterminator, you know? It's just you don't want to be that type of guy. There's a wasp and they go like, like you mean a, a hive, a wasp hive, is a nest? And like, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I just saw one. It's like, all right, buddy. And they hang up because they think it's a prank call. Like, you can't be discautious in life, my friend. Like, you overreact. This is like when your girlfriend's spirit is two hours late and you start construction of the baby room already. Like, calm down, sit back, relax, you know? It's just two lings. It's not the end of the world, all right? Like, we, we can, we can perhaps respond more strongly in the future if we have more information. If he does indeed throw down a road corner, we'll 10 will he, he got a battery to adapt, three pylons. It doesn't even make any sense. 2832, 31 he could have been. Now he's 2839 and gets the Nexus after that. This is like installing airbus. bags on your shopping cart like nothing bad is going to happen to you my friend trust me all right like one salad would have been fine and you didn't even need the crono with you really did not need the krono it but you know i'm absolutely glad you did i'm i'm glad you did um the one thing that is nice is that if you ever oh speeding it up a bit too fast if you ever stay over you sleep at raoul's house he is for sure the guy that checks his uh monoxide detector batteries every single night you know just changes them into the new ones just making sure never living life on the edge just slightly cautious slightly cautious all right so let me open up that stupid form again what did he say i reacted correctly against that i liked that he just stated that like that was fact um i was ahead since my opponent opened with an early pool so i reacted correctly against that he would have gotten me if i didn't have a brain. He is very unlucky here that he sent it into me and that I do indeed have a brain. Because this is obviously not the correct response. You're down 10 workers. Like, in what world are you ahead? The only thing you're ahead in is in idiocy, maybe. And if the competition was to have the lowest possible IQ, you'd be a solid competitor as well. Because this is not the response. Battery, double gate, three adepts, nexus. Your tech is insane. late like everything just sucks for you at this point like everything you scout with an adept you see an evo chamber okay you see a layer like even if you didn't watch the replay which I'm assuming at this point you haven't watched the replay back with this scout you should have been able to figure out that you're basically dead you're then you're down 10 workers he had an Evo already and he has a layer like major wood is completely busting you here oh a couple of pauses look at hate to see it okay three adepts you send your units across the map this is why you always need to drink five coffee before i owe this it's because otherwise you might miss the details look at this look at this not the first shot but now no no no no Look where he shoots. This guy. She got hit in the face by two of his mates. Decided to rather go for their mate than for another drone. Did he hit him another time? No. Okay. So he loses three units, maybe four even, and kills five drones. That's impressive. That's not good. It's not good. Um, he's not going to... One upgrades on the way as well. He saw the fact that there was no... How did he even see the fact there was no third base with this? He scouts with the void rate. There could have been a third base, and my good friend Raoul would have been non-the-weiser. This is... He's been lying. Just a lot... Let me open this thing again. So the first sentence is incorrect. In this game, I was ahead. Since my opponent opened with an early pool, I reacted correctly. That was a lie. I don't know why he didn't attack me. Well, I do know why he didn't attack you because there was up 10 workers. For this reason, I sent my units across the map and kill some drones. In the scouting, I saw no third base and a weird build order. He saw the third base with the void ray. We'll count it as part of sending the units across the map. You know, you... On the edge there, though, Raoul. I won't push it too much further with your lies, you know? I wouldn't push it too much further. Just be careful. A layer is still up, as always. It's very rare that you see Zerg buildings demote in rank. I haven't actually had it happen before, so I'm not quite sure why I mentioned that. Gas is going down here for Raul. Second battery, a good call. Scouts with his void rays, the fact that there was no units, there was no third base. So early with his units that there was no units. And he thinks, you know what would really help me right now is a second battery in my natural, while I have complete map control and I don't have a third base yet this is the type of decision making that I'm personally I'm a very big fan of three void rays are out okay the follow up is going to be more adept a twilight council maybe a forge could be a possibility and Raul is pulling ahead at this point in the work account so that's nice the mechanics have been pretty solid could maybe be using this void to attack. This is an interesting patrol move as well, isn't it? Just keeping an eye on this hatchery. Well, we'll forgive him for that as well. Major wood currently on 1-1 upgrades. Good upgrades. Down in workers, though. And a quick infestation pit, man. Major wood really has a... Once they get into the 3-3-A-sap, you can feel it, you know? I wouldn't mind a big round of drones. He has some larva already as well. So just a couple of notes. Probably is just going to go into hydras and attack, though. Oh, God, I love this Zerg player. The builder doesn't make much sense, I have to admit, but I'm just a fan of people that do things, you know, and Major Wood definitely is doing things. He's making moves, all right? He's making moves. At the same time, we have Raoul, who is, what is this? Three gateways, five gateway, so seven gate with charge. No gas yet here. I wouldn't mind if they gets staking. can also need some way to get rid of that gas in the future. Wouldn't mind the Templar archives. He's seen Hydras. So Templar, either for Storm or for Archons, is going to be a very good call. Oh, here comes a move out, out of major wood. And Raul, slightly too slow with that Voidre. I don't mind that too much, though. I mean, it happens, you know. He got some information with it, and it is what it is. Centries? Good Lord. I'm not a fan of sentries personally too much against Zerg. Like, you need to do something with them, you know? Sentry is an investment into the near future, not into the long-term future. Templars are always good. There's not a moment in a PVZ where it go, dang, I wish I had less Templar. No, it's always I wish I had faster Templar. With sentries, they're good for sure. It's very useful, but it does become less useful. full over time. Okay? And like the bigger the armies get, the more creep there is. Once ultras are out or once lurkers are out or once ravagers are out or once ravagers are out or there's a lot of banlings. Centries just lose a lot in value. And also, I've seen Raul control his unit so far. I'm just afraid that the sentries just aren't going to contribute very much here to the fight. So you have a guardian shield, a single force shield. This army arrived completely after the zealots died. a good move as well. Personally, I'm a big fan of that. It's where you send the support after the entire army has died. There's not a lot of armies that do this, by the way, where they send their entire infantry and then after their infantry gets wiped out, they start sending in the medics to try and revive the dead bodies. But I see that Raul has you write a book, The Art of War and how not to do it. Not by Sun Tzu, but by Raul. And maybe he could have like the the prologue or like the first word by a major wood and he can for sure confirm that this guy knows nothing about warfare all right Raul leaves a couple of units behind that's fine scout units of course I wanted to check what the upgrades of his opponents are 2-2 he saw so Raul now knows to go back home he's like all right I don't want to engage into a 2-2 player while I'm getting only plus one myself. So I do appreciate that. We have roach speed going on. There's 22 roaches. I didn't even realize that. 2-2 upgrades, 3-3 on the way in an Ultra Cavern. It is indeed quite weird, all right? You open up with 3-3 upgrades for range, plus-3 range upgrades, and then you go into Ultra. The Lurker than, or Vipers, in my opinion, would make slightly more sense. but I'm not one to doubt major wood very quickly. So I'm not going to start doing that right here. You have a couple of disruptors out. I don't mind that. It's probably a good call. Now, Raul is he aware? Now, he's kind of unaware of his opponent's adventures into the hive territory. He's not aware the fact that there's ultralisk either. Raul is kind of unaware of most things happening on the map, though, to be fair. So I feel like it's unfair to just stack everything on top of each other. there you know i could have just said his scouting sucks but instead i went on this massive list of things he isn't aware of it's like this is just kind of mean you know close to bullying i apologize to that for that raoul right we have a couple of cannons going down this guy hasn't moved out once either a major wood major woods a macro player doesn't attack mate just sits back waste till he gets attacked and then bang destroys you with his superior upgrades to disruptors extra is seven disruptors out already, nine disruptors. Now, disruptors generally are very good against Roach Hydra. Roaches and Hydras are not great at splitting. They're easy to hit and they're pretty expensive. However, disruptors aren't great against ultras because ultras, they kind of get on top. You need a lot of shots to kill one Ultra. And because ultras are so fat, they basically cover your entire screen. So it's difficult to hit multiple ultras at the same time. Good start of the fight here, but now you need to run anyway. I'm not even sure if this was like a good trait. I don't know what this was before, but I feel like this was maybe a semi-even trade or slightly in favor of the Zerg. Like, I mean, yeah, this wasn't actually a good fight. The Zerg remains pretty much maxed out. Okay, this was not a good fight for the Zerg, though. It's going to lose a couple of ultras. Of course, not helping, the fact that these ultras don't have any attack upgrades either. Still, at the end of the day, Zerg is 2K up or 2K downing units lost. So Zerg has been trading better, mainly because of the upgrades, but also because the army composition of Raul just isn't very good. I mean, now he's moving out immediately. After scouting Ultralisk, like after you see a tech switch so significant like this out of your opponent, you probably want to be switching yourself into something different and you don't want to stay on your stalker disruptor army no you want to add more immortals and then wait for those to join your army then once you're maxed out and once you have confirmed that your opponent is still going for the ultras maybe you can move out eventually this is going to most likely be another good fight if super battery it's not available currently but otherwise this could have been a really good fight still is a fine fine engagement down 2k not the greatest i mean for how bad it started it ends up okay Now, if you're a TOS player here and you hold this push and you saw a massive army over here as well, I would say we max out, go into storm, make sure we get plus three going because we're down in upgrades. We have a massive bank, like 1,200 minerals, 900 gas. Like, we can get a transition going. We can get a fifth base. I mean, we're on 90 workers. But instead we're moving out. I'm not quite sure how. Or why? excuse me WTF I mean you can't really be surprised anymore at this point that there's ultras and lings like you've walked into ultras and lings twice already and now you walk into it again and you go what the hell what happened here guys it just doesn't make much sense to me Adrenal's not done yet for Major Wood but Raoul seems not really be responding and also doesn't have the army ready. Plus three is on the way finally. Super battery. Can be cast? No. Can be. Yeah, actually can be. Yeah, we can use super battery here. Could be useful. One of the greatest spells in the game. Yep, there we go. Thank you very much. It's actually going to be capable of maybe even holding this. But only, he did lose a lot of workers here. And his opponent actually did get quite of a bank. Not necessarily because the opponent was mining more, but because the opponent is up like 7K in trade so far. And if you're, oh my God, he rebuilds 39. hydras. I love that move. I love that move. Good deck switches here out of the Zerg. I do like that move a lot. So if you take a look at the current army value, I'll just pass the game here for a second. Okay, just let's get this straight. So we have an army value of about 3k here for Raoul. And he is down in the units lost by about 7k. That means he lost this army. two times, two and a half, 2.2, 2.3 times, something like that. Extra. If he would have this army two and a half more times, he'd be at 150 supply. Probably make a pretty, have a decent chance here at winning the game, I'd say. At this point, I mean, he's going to walk into a person who just has been saving money because Majorwood hasn't been losing a lot of units. forgets to Gigi as well leaves the game Raoul very odd Raoul very very odd alright let's get some thoughts together here okay so first of all let's go over let's just discuss your early game let's discuss your early game so I'm going to judge you on your early game your army composition and your micro so that's three things number one your early game you mentioned that you reacted correctly to the early pool. That was incorrect. You did not react correctly. You reacted the worst way possible. You completely overreacted the later nexus by almost a minute and a half for no real reason. And you were just down 10, 12 workers. Like your early game was actually probably by far the worst part of this game. Well, not by far. Your micro, well, we'll get to that soon. Yeah, it wasn't by far, but it definitely was the worst. worst part of the game. Your early game was awful. Honestly just terrible, really terrible. So for that, you're going to get the suck. Number two, let's do the micro. So we saw your first pushout. First we saw your first push out with the adepts and the zealots in which you targeted your own adept, somehow managed to kill five workers, but lost four units. Your second attack, you walk in with all your zealots first, before your sentries arrive, lose all of them, then have to move back home. And then the next week, the disruptor fight was good. You actually control the disruptor balls relatively well. Like you split them separately, even though you fight them very quickly. You control them. That was not bad. So, yeah, for that, I mean, two awful fights and then one okay fight. Still pretty awful. So you get the pretty awful stamp. Not great, not terrible, and more leaning to the terrible side, honestly. Final one, unit composition. This is really where it kind of fell apart for you in the later stages of the game because you did come back economically even though your early game was terrible and your micro in the first few fights was awful. You just didn't have the unit comp to deal with your opponent's unit comp. Every single fight you were just a step behind. You attacked into someone with mess hydras with pure zealot. Well, you had sentries, but you didn't use them. Then afterwards, you finally had your disruptor, so you had something to deal with the Roach Hydra. Your opponent had ultras already. you had nothing for that and then in the end you finally had some immortals and this guy switched back to Hydras you never really were ready for his units you just kind of got outbrained so for that you're gonna get a pretty massive incompetent stamp put all three of these stamps together and you my friend do suck as this was absolutely not imbalanced all right I think that's going to be it for today's episode of Is it Inba or do I suck if you liked it don't forget to let me know as well by hitting the tombs up in the thing and subscribe and comment down below what you told of Raul's performance in this game and of course how much you guys liked Major Wood shout out to your major and yeah that's it chaochao So,
