Self-Proclaimed MACRO GOD Finds Imbalance?! | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck?

A LITERAL GOD Sent us his replay. I wonder if I can find anything wrong in his play...

They're Harstem. I'm having a huge time seeing how to deal with lurkers. They are stealthy, long range, dirty bush dwelling pests. And nothing I do seems to counter them. They seemingly outrange all ground units. And since they're always accompanied by hydras, any air units I manage to fart out get ruined before I can get a decent count. Clearly, I am not the problem, as I have literally perfect macro. I am a macro god. That's why I have achieved the pinnacle of platinum bleak. So is it imba, obviously, or do I suck? Impossible. I am a god. Cheers, Jack. Send from mail for Windows 10. I don't know why, but for some reason that makes me smile. If you're too dumb to remove the send from Windows email 10, I feel like it's going to be hard to take you seriously. But, uh, quick note, to my editor, the name Jack the Funk is going to turn into either macro god or literal macro god. You can have your decision there. Then we can continue into this game. So first claim, well the only claim really he makes about his own place that he's a literal macro god. We're of course going to have a look at it. What the hell is this? Oh, this is pig. Nice. Beautiful. Let's have a look. Alright, let's see what this fella is doing. It's a decent time. Use diamond three. Diamond three. I say this because people in my, in the YouTube comments are always very mean to everyone. I'm gold three. I'm better than this. No, you're not. No, you're not. All right, Stargate coming down. Pretty standard timing, perhaps a bit late. You can see a second adapt. warpgate on the way it's all looking okay I don't mind this build order so far this is looking pretty tight now from the Zerg perspective just standard link openers this is a this what I call a flat wall now the problem with flat walls is actually a pretty big one because you need two structures especially if your piling's placed over here to wall this this little place you You need a pylon here and a pylon here. That's why you always want to stagger the wall. Is that what you call it? Make it like a stairs. You want to be able to have like a bit of a dent. So put this gateway one block to the right or put this one one to the right. That way it's very easy to wall with a single building. Helps a lot. Now, Phoenix first. A little bit of chronobo boost not being used. A little bit of probes not being used. probes not being created but all of these things you know we can we can live with I don't care too much about them I'm not gonna you know I'm not gonna complain about this kind of stuff anymore you know we've we've heard it all we've heard oh no you forgot to go probes for three seconds and no one cares what the hell is this though oh you've got a third pilot oh no okay so if you forget the third pilot that's okay but you just cancel your units like it's bad to not have a third adapt than it has to not have any pro production for three minutes or well in this case 30 seconds okay bad start he also takes his extra gases before he takes the nexus i'm not a fan of that i think it sucks he plays phoenix oracle which i also think sucks he should play at least two oracles before he gets any type of extra attack like the difference between one oracle and two oracle is so big that it almost feels criminal to not build a second oracle because list it is if you go from one oracle to two oracles you increase your efficiency or your yeah your effectiveness by 50% because what first by a hundred percent if first you need one shot two shots now you only need one so you increase efficiency by a hundred percent no you decrease the time spent by 50 percent so at first you spend two seconds now you would spend one no so then you increase efficiency by a hundred percent you see guys I did finish my math courses good so yeah this is why you get two articles always because it's very good you can just pop pop pop drones really easily it's very nice don't want to be the guy with a single oracle see you got zero kills that's typical of a single oracle absolute loser it's a nice animation he has there I saw holy crap no um now what else are we doing here mr Jack the Funk so far you haven't really been too busy but you did get a fortune at twilight I like that you're scouting this general area so in case there any type of nigh display over here that would be very easily spotted which i'm a big fan of honestly i think it's good to have this kind of stuff prepared you know he's just thinking about the niche attacks that his opponent can can throw out him now four adepts are going to move across the map and the thing you want to do with four adepts is usually you want to use them in unison with your oracles so you can either clear creep or maybe you can even try to go for some drones but usually you split them up to two but I guess this also seems to work another quick trick with adept is try to move into these mineral patches so that this kind of surround can't happen as quickly but once again this all seems pretty reasonable so far this I mean these are decent shades for getting some damage done with these adepts this is what eight workers going down now there is a classic thing here where Usually when a player below Masters 1 is doing things that isn't macro, it's usually worse than if he would have actually macroed. Now, I'd like you guys to think back off about a minute ago when these four bad boys shaded in. And I'm going to assure you that he probably was at 50 workers, or 49 or something like that. Probably one more worker finished up. He hasn't made a single macro action. He's floating 2K resources. And he didn't produce a single probe. So even though he killed 16 workers, even though I don't think there was all of it with just the four adepts, maybe he had some before. No, wait, he didn't because his Oracle was completely useless. Yeah, so it must have been just these adepts. I still feel like his position in the game didn't improve very much. Because he just kept floating money, didn't build any workers for himself. So you see, he's still down 10 workers, which is impressive. Also getting your gases down at 7 minutes and 40 seconds is almost 2 minutes later than I usually get them, which is also impressive. So so far our literal macro god is about 2 minutes behind in an 8 minute game. And that is 25%. Unless you calculate from the 6 minute to the 8, then he's down by 33%. See how it works? percentages are a very wild thing. Did I just hear a robo bay being queued up? Alright, all right, all right, all right, all right. I thought we were gonna have one hell of a game, but I guess not. So he's gonna get a storm, second Robo, Robo Bay, without mining any gas on his third days. I have no clue how this is gonna pan out, but I'm a fan already. I am definitely a fan. The problem with getting this, yeah, throw the dark shrine down as well. I mean we have plenty of gas anyway, right? Jeez. How is he gonna be able to pay for this expensive habit of just buying everything with gas? It's like the type of guy that has seven credit cards maxed out, gets called by his bank, like I made you have seven credit cards max out. That's annoying, but could I get an eighth card? Because I feel like I really need that dark shrine right now in my life. Like, I really feel a strong connection as I'm a, what I called? Gemini. The astrology signs. I feel like people that max out more than seven credit cards usually are into astrology. I think you have to be a special kind of stupid. it. Actually, that's such a Leo thing to do. No, that's not a Leo thing to do. Stupid Gemini's. Where else? Ah, Colossus. 1400 minerals, 200 gas. He's going to be able to work in a dark template, like a single one or something. And the rest of his army is just going to be pure zealot. So you can actually afford a lot of gas units out of special structures. The problem with that, is that it just leaves you with such a big zealot army that you're just going to die the moment your opponent has two or three banlings this actually is a very good army though against anything that isn't banlings which at this level it seems like people don't really make banlings which would explain the by a little lower plat lower lower lower what was that You heard about stutter stepping once? Let's have another look at this stutter step. What the hell? So the reason why people stutter step is because you want to get in range of your opponent, or when you're chasing, or when you're running away, right? You stutter step, you shoot while running away, so you still do some damage, but you also get away from your opponent. This guy just move commanding. into units that have less range. This is anti-studder stepping. This makes sure that your opponent doesn't need to have. Look at this. What was this move? It's like, oh, you can't reach the immortals on the back yet. Let me just move a bit quicker. Closer. That's fantastic. That's a good move. I completely lost my train off. I write the low-level dudes. Because no one builds banlings. Stuff like Immortals and Colossi are really broken in this, usually. in this league or in this player bracket I don't know how you want to call it this guy's just actually just maxing roaches I don't quite see how Jack the funk here is gonna lose this game but usually these guys manage to find ways that I haven't even thought of so even just speculating would be kind of ruining part of the phone now imagine there was a prison with this right and What? What the hell was that? So this was what? 20, 24 roaches, maybe? Okay, it says 41, but a lot of them weren't there. I think that was 24 roaches. There was freaking five immortals in the Colossus there. I think he could have just fought that fight. He just moved commanded away. He lost like five, six units. And now it's like, again, now that I've recalled, I can go again. That's not quite how this game works. Like he probably could have already filed before. This is absolutely wild. Fort base goes down. I mean, that's a big road to run by. This circus expanding life is like his life depends on it, though. Now going into Lurkers. Kind of like it. I think that's kind of cool. You know what? I think that is kind of cool. Gets to two upgrades. It's funny because Jack the Funk thinks he's a literal macro goal. Meanwhile, he's been floating at least 2.5K resources consistently since minute 7. But this Zerg has actually been expanding absolutely everywhere. You know, he's even as a base down here. He's trying to screefe spread. He's just playing very basic units and just focusing on macroing. You know, he's getting his injects done. He has larvae everywhere. He has a lot of money in the bank because he's been mining so well. He does a run by here and there, but there's nothing fancy in his play style. You know, it's just good old solid Roach Hydra. And sure, it's not the best play style. And sure, there's no banlings. And yeah, the creepstrat could be better. But he actually has a, you know, it's not a bad style. It's, it's solid. You know, he's a lot of money. He's working on his macro. I like it. I feel like the actual literal macro god here is Protoss OTP. And our boy Jack the Funk here is, it's not doing Okay, here come the Lurkers. Now, this is a key moment in our literal MackroGault's life. Because this is where stuff starts to go wrong for him, or at least where he believed stuff starts to go wrong for him. In my mind, stuff has been going wrong in his life for a while in order for him to even get to this point. Sending a replay complaining about Lurkers while you're Diamond 3 and constantly floating 2K resource. Maybe he doesn't have the A move button. like bind, bounded, bind it or something. Like, make your armies like five times the size. Just fight! How can one guy be this bad at judging fights? So right now he has 34 workers, our literal god. He's still floating 1,800 minerals though. Does he not realize he can just aim of this army? He has six immortals. Like, I know going down ramps is not the way to go, but I think even going down this ramp, he would be able to win. He's been able to win for the past five minutes by just aim moving, I feel like. And instead of it does, he moves commands around, loses seven more immortals, and then decides, oh, I just lost seven in mortals. I probably can't fight this. It's not because your army sucks because you keep movement-commending around. This is painful to watch, honestly. I mean, this army is complete garbage at this point. There's seven lurkers. There's nine immortals, dude. And there's two colossi. There's storms available. Circuit's floating like madman as well. Holy crap. No ford base on the way, 47 workers again though. No gas being mined. Our literal god hasn't probably looked at his base in the past five minutes. He's just going to aim move across the map with a massive immortal army. No, he's not going to aim move. If he would be a-moving across the map, he probably would just be winning. He's going to be doing something dumber. It's working a couple of zealots to deal with the threat of zerglings. With no adrenal glands yet, so zerglings can actually be beaten at this point. Oh, all right. Now what we do here, Jack, this is. We regroup. We get an observer with our army, if we don't yet. Okay, we do. And we make sure that our whole army is together when we attack a base, okay? And then whenever this guy comes to defend, we kill him. Another point of contention, by the way, is the complete lack of upgrades here for Jack, who's on plus one. our macro god who has been floating money since minute six, minute seven, who has the money for two extra oracles, but can't afford a plus two upgrade. Observer speed, so his observer can fly into spores faster or into overseer ranges. I feel like he's also F2 in his life away, isn't he? Dude, just go and fight for once in your life. You can clear the rocks as well. You don't have to walk down only this ramp. You can also go through the middle, man. How is it possible that you can do absolutely nothing in a game when your army is... ...lose the observer because he has overlord speed. Oh, Jesus. He's getting a fleet beacon on three bases. He actually got every single tech structure on three bases. He's not even mining gas. How is it even possible that his main base is not mining gas properly? And now his natural is... Oh my god. The macro god does it again. I get... what are these DTs doing? He's actually gonna move down. He could have. I wouldn't even mind it. He really could have. Does he have blink? No, he doesn't have blink. Our literal macrogoth on three bases. With two K minerals in the bank. How do you even get two K minerals? He gets 1,100 minerals a minute. That means if he doesn't do anything for two minutes, macro wise, that's how he gets a bit. tank. Which literally you could spend 1200 minerals by building by like one warp in cycle. One warping cycle is done within like two seconds. You can't even spare two seconds to macro. What are you doing dude? Move command into move command. I feel like he hasn't actually fought. Look, this it is. Immortals and Colossi are fantastic units, right? But they're mainly good at fighting. Like, really. Their strength is their power in straight-up engagements. Running away isn't their main strength. They're not French built. This is like investing, imagine you're a country. Imagine you're a country, you are Belgium. Imagine you're from Belgium. And you invest, as the government, you invest a lot of money into a tank. Now this tank is a great, is a great stationary tool. You know, you can siege it up. It has crabt tons of damage. It has long range. It can shoot fire missiles. It can do basically anything. It's the ultimate unit. Then when you're in a fight, you decide to just run away with all your tanks. And then the commanders go like a ball like this tank is you know it has no speed. You know, we have to push it or like it's being pulled by gorillas, you know? Like this is a stationary thing that does the most damage of standing still. And they're like no, no, no, I feel like we should be sending these guys back, you know, back, back, back. Back to the capital just to make sure like now, sir, we have a good position here. We're outsizing our opponent's army about 15 times. Really, it's just one guy on a horse. I feel like we should keep this position. But instead, what you do is you run your 15 siege fire tanks back, or while they're being pulled by guerrillas, they're being pulled back, while the guy on the horse with his bow and arrow is slowly but surely whittling away on him. That is kind of what this game feels like. You've had the absolute best army in the world against what he could have. This is the meme with the guy that puts the stick in between his wheels, you know. He's like, ah, fucking lurkers, man. He's like, dude, it's not the lurkers. Like it's... It's you. Why would you use the gorillas to run back? You have the best stationary siege tank in the world. I'm just gonna have a conversation here? This is not what I signed up for. This is the ultimate circle jerk. Two guys in diamond tree talking about how much lurkers are broken. I tried with the DTs. Ha ha ha ha ha. Oh no. All right. Our literal world, my friend. I'm sure you meant well. well. I'm sure you meant well. The problem is you had no macro. You're honestly, everything you did was terrible from your macro. The first four minutes were tight, except the supply block. You forgot your third pilot. We'll forget about that. Okay. But the first four minutes were tight, minus the supply block. Then you went into double robo, immortal colossus, storm, dark Templar, Stargate, fleet beac. You had everything. Like, just. try to go with a unit composition and stick with it. We have a unit composition called Charge Immortal Archon. This unit composition is absolute king, my friend. Like they beat everything on the ground. We can storm. We can run in with Immortals. We can A move. It's like a little party just by itself. And here you are with your 17 different tax structures. No, man. We run by with zealots and we just kill the rest of their army. What immortal charge Archon? That's the way it is. That's the way it's going to be. even if we think of if we don't think about your army composition we just look at how good your army was and how you handled that army like the amount of it started with the move command into the roaches like you won that fight but it still made me angry then you had a move command away into a recall from 20 roaches while you had six immortals with with plus one um you stopped upgrades completely the one thing you should have been investing your gas in is definitely upgrades. You tried getting a Ford Base once. After it got cancelled once. Well, never mind. It's not possible, guys. Like, I actually can't do it. It's too much for me. This is the kind of people that attempt to go, not even a marathon. I was going to say a Marathon. I was going to be nice to you. But taking a Ford Base is not like a Marathon. Taking a fourth base is more like going for a 5K run. You know, the first run you're going to do. And there's these people, they go like, I'm going to go on a run. And then they can't find their shoes. And it's like, I can't find my shoes. Like, how am I going to go on a run? You know, no shoes. I can't run. This is just logic. You know, they call their, their husband or their, their wife. And they go like, no shoes, no run. The husband's enabler, of course. Of course an enabler goes like, yeah, no shoes. Can't run. Back on the couch. Just like that. No running for you. That's what you did with the fourth base. I'm not sure who your enabler is. maybe you should visit a therapist for that couple counseling might be useful there but yeah it's uh it's rough man i can't remember where i was going with this um to cut things short really terrible unit composition terrible unit movement no micro negative decision making negative IQ decision making I have to I have to say and then at the end you complain which shows a weak mindset a bad brain and just poor personality trade in general we can zip it up here boys you suck you suck very very hard all right thank you everyone for watching for to this amazing episode of is it in bardo so if you did enjoy don't forget to subscribe to my youtube channel And if you didn't like it, then follow me on Twitter because they do very different stuff there. I also have more videos like this, which are over there and over there. And I'll see you all next time. Bye-bye.


His Micro Makes Me MALD | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck?

In today's episode we discuss many things.  The speed of sloths, the power of not storming your own stuff and perhaps the imbalance of the remax.

Harsden, I used to suck, but thanks to your build order tutorials that is no longer the case. I'm now a Diamond 3 Proloss player, MMR around 3.2K. I attach a replay of a PVZ, where I dished out critical damage in the early game, killing my opponent's third, as well as his layer. I messed up the build a bit, it happens to the best, but clearly the damage was done regardless. I then managed to defend his counterattack, destroying his entire army. However, no matter how many times I killed my opponent's army, the hydras just kept coming. Sirk's ability to remix is imbal. Inball? Even after critical early game damage. Best, that word. P.S. Terran tank pushes are in ball too. Even with your colossus opening, destroying Terrans, beating a Terran that builds tanks is near impossible. Okay. Well, so two claims, the Terran tank push, I obviously can't help you with, but what's the other one? The remix. The remax. I think this is a common. team and a lot of people have been asking me, it's like, hey, what's up with the remix of the Zerg, man? It seems completely broken. How is it possible to win? Well, we're going to have a look at that, won't we now that word? We're going to have a look at that. Thank you very much for sending in your replay. And the main claim we're going to be looking at here is indeed going to be the, is the remax? Nothing else. Just not a specific unit. He said the Hydra remax, but I think it's just the VMAX ability in general. Like, he did critical damage in the early game, guys. Not just regular damage. I sometimes do regular damage. I kill four or five workers with my horacles, but my boy, that word here, he did critical damage. Now, that's new. That's very new, because I haven't seen that before. Critical damage. What does that look like? Critical damage is like when nothing else can happen anymore. You know, if you're hunting for deer, Like the deer is just laying there. You already shot it twice. All you need to do is finish it at that point. That's what critical damage is. I want to see how... What the hell is this build? Oh, he's playing Nexus first, full wall? That word. That word, that word, that word. Why would you do this to me? Not a full wall. I don't even mind the Nexus first, honestly. Just put this side row, one to the right side, one one little square to the right and you actually have a wall. What is this useful for? What is this good for my friend? Okay, we're going to see a Twilight Council. I guess adapt, adapt. Stalker. Okay, it's a stalker. Continuous worker production at least, so that's nice. Yes, two in gas here. I'm not sure if that's intentional. I say usually that kind of stuff is intentional, but with this guy, I'm not too sure. I'm not too happy with how this is going already. Why is this version of that out of 324? Even for a Nexus 1st, that's late. That's really late. Linkflot hits at this time. I don't think he'd be able to hit with just a single stalker mate. So his opponent is going road for him at 340. Too far his opponent is probably just confused. How the hell is this clown on? I have no clue either, Pax. I don't know either. So you see a third gateway, glaves, a robotic acidity, and a fourth gateway. Then we have a third gas. I think he might be playing a glaive adapt drop. Huh. Well, this is one way to do it that I've never seen before, and I hope I never will see again, because if anyone actually watched my glaive adept video, just a little bit with any kind, you know, just slightly detail-oriented, you might remember that I say that around 425 or 426, whatever I say, is a good time to do your first warping on the other side, of the map with the prism. My man, Deadward doesn't even, hasn't even started the prism yet. This guy's going to be so late. You know what Deadward? That would do. He'd had a wife, and they're expecting a kid. His wife's in the hospital, and Deadwork is still at work. You know, he's working, because they're not sure exactly when she's going to give birth. He's like, you know, they don't want to miss it, but also, you know, have an important deadline at work, My boss has been a real dick to me lately. He said, what the hell is this? Are you ruining my analogy with more bad things? Just let me finish roasting you here. So, wife's in the hospital. And he's, you know, that word, you know, he has to work. Then his wife was like, you really need to come right now. Like, it's going to happen within the next 30 minutes. And that was like, all right, I'm ready for it. You know, I've been preparing for this all my life. My man, that word, you know, when he shows up? He shows up after his son graduates college. That's how late that. That's how late this prism is deadward. What the hell are you doing? Five minutes and ten seconds. It's not even out yet? What the hell is wrong with you bro? You have a kid man, take some responsibility. But no, you show up. After he finishes college. It's over now, man. What did all that overtime get to you? It's a nice house but you haven't even met your kid yet. Pathetic. I kind of just want to ignore this Stargate, honestly. Just pretend it didn't happen. I feel like this game might have had some potential, but... I feel like it just got thrown out of the window straight away. All right. Let's have a look at the timing. 5.40. 41. Come on, man. Don't that make me count. Up to six minutes. Oh. Warping mode? All right. At five minutes in 50 seconds. Hence, my boy, Deadworth managed to get out six adepts. I get eight adepts at four minutes and 22 seconds or 23 seconds these days. Which means that Deadward is absolutely the slowest individual I've ever witnessed playing. On top of that, he's floating 2K resources at the 6 minute mark. He has a full wall. The worst part is that the full wall is actually going to help him this game. I think there's nothing worse than watching people like Deadward. and good things happen to them because they don't deserve it at all it's it's like when you're annoying neighbor who like cheats on his pipe wins the lottery I remember John I remember Ella didn't deserve that you know and then he leaves with his new hot secretary to some to some island tropical island it's just insane that's that That's what that word is doing here. He's getting damage, but he doesn't deserve it. This guy doesn't deserve anything. It really, really doesn't. Oh my god. Just dancing the bouts. This is floating 4K resources almost, man. It's seven minutes in the game. I didn't even know you mind that many resources in the first seven minutes in the game. Like you're learning all these new things about Starcraft that I really wish I didn't know because Ah, this is just so... These DTs are doing great defense, honestly. You killed what? You didn't kill the third base yet, but you killed 15 workers. I mean, you're just up 20 workers. And you have a bank account that Trump would be jealous of. Like, holy crap, my dude. You have so much money. How in the hell are you going to lose this game? that you could actually start a two-base carrier transition while taking three bases at the same time, and you'd still be floating 1K. Like, this is not normal behavior, man. If you get this base, I'm actually gonna be upset. If these three... What are you doing? What are you doing? Ptoeing packs. I know we're not allowed to flame the other guy, but what the hell, dude? My boy, Debtred over here, just... Ah, okay, gets a couple more cannons, which I guess isn't too bad. It's just... How is it possible that you're on four gates, a robo, a stargate, a forge? You haven't used your forge at all except for cannons. not using your logo whatsoever, you just build void rays and warp in DTs on the other side of man, get a third base, get some immortals out, get like, okay, if your macro sucks, that's okay, but at least admit it, you know? Like, just, just admit it. Like, you can build four more gateways or six more gateways if you have trouble spending your money. You get your, you get your charge, you get your upgrades and everything. Like, that's, that's fine. But you're pretending like you're having the pro gamer layout you know it's like oh i've seen i've seen zest and and harsom play with with four gateways and a robo and they don't float any money so i should just copy that no like what you should be copying is our it's our early game build order but if you're floating 3k minerals at the nine minute mark you you add six gates i don't give a crap man that's a good decision in your case like that's gonna help you spend your money Instead, you're, like, it's nice that you're doing damage, but, like, the difference in income is all in your bank at this point. Like, you could literally be at what? Like, 100 minerals is usually two supply. So, 2,500 minerals would be 50 extra supply. You could be up 30 supply right now. And instead, you're down 30, 23. It's just impressive, really. more cannons like i really quite don't know what to say here you just keep doing the same thing over and over more ds more void rays and at this point that you could even use this prism to put the probe over here and build a nexus that would fix so many issues just get your immortals get further upgrades you're getting storm and single stargate void rays immortal man. What's the APM like? How do you have 250? Like what is happening right now that you're pressing 250 buttons at the same time? Let's have a look at his first person. Bumpidum avoid right. Let me queue up two more. Tompidom. One more over here. Oh, pom, pom, pom, boom, boom. This is a little. absolutely fantastic to watch. This is a man that has no sense of priority whatsoever. The only priority this guy in life is right-clicking spores. He just looks at it as well. He's just looking at his DTs do work. It's like making sure that they still keep auto-attacking even if he isn't there. He just literally looked at DTs. Wait, is he... anything. He's looking around. Two more pilots. Here we go. Finally some gateways. He's a massive army in front of his base. I don't understand. I suppose he keeps attacking as well. Okay. Battery overcharge here would obviously be fantastic. You know, that actually definitely would help. Put it on one of the backward ones. I guess it's not completely necessary. It probably would have saved him two, maybe three void rays here. Okay, so once again, A fantastic fight because Pax decided to make an attack that I'm not even sure of what that was exactly. Okay, so you completely slaughter an attack. You have 4K resources in the bank. You're sitting here. You're getting more gateways. Do you have charge yet? No, you do have stormed now. You've had a forge for seven minutes now. You've had a robo, which so far only built a single... I think it built two prisons, no? I think you lost one. No, just a single piece. I'm sorry. It built a single prism this robot did. And now we get plus one. Plus one air weapons is almost done. Dude, how about this? What? Can you just do something normal for once in our life? Like, what's wrong with this or with this? These bases are fine. This is further away, harder to defend. I don't care if it's hidden or not. Like you're light years ahead. What does this have to do with his opponent's ability to remix? You're the kind of guy that joins a car race. It's like, you know, you have the, I think it's called the Dakar Rally or something going, or the, yeah, the Dakar Rally where you travel through the desert, you know, with your cars, and it's a rough race, it takes very long. You're the guy that absolutely is like 10 hours ahead of everyone in this race, right? You're like, you're just destroying the competition, like literally 10 hours ahead. Then, on the final day, when you're about to finish, what you decide to do is you go for a 25-hour nap. after your 25-hour nap, you wake up, and you go like, oh, everyone else finished? Man, they must have had way better cars than me. Like, it can be possible. Like, I was so far ahead in the early parts of this race. I don't understand how it's possible for me to even lose this. Like, I just was way fast. I'm like, mate, yes, you were faster at the start, but they took a 25-hour nap. Like, you've literally been doing nothing for the past five minutes. Like, actually nothing. I've seen slots more active than you. And that's impressive. Because I watched the documentary once about slots. In fact, sloths are one of the most extreme animals on the planet. And not just because they poop, only once a week. And these guys are really lazy. So in the first part of the documentary, like this sloth just forgets to join his family. And then as a result, he joins up a saber-tooth tiger and I think what's called a mammoth. and they travel, they have to bring a baby back to its tribe. It's one of my favorite documentaries of all time. It was released on, I think, Pixar or Disney. I can't quite remember. It's a really good documentary called Ice Age, if you haven't seen it. But yeah, so I know quite a bit about slots and Jesus. My boy, you are so lazy, it's insane. You actually did manage to spend your money. you still have a million times better army than him if you just hit any of your storms what the hell was that can you get that in slow motion editor man Let's just have a look at that in slow motion, all right, in slow motion all right? I'm gonna do it in slow motion for myself as well. I'll speak in slow motion. Bhoa... Okay, storm hits two hydras and hits four zealads, now three zealots, 3DTs, some of the void rays. This storm hits nothing. How is it even possible? It's an instant cast spell, my friend. How can you hit nothing? Alright, I'm gonna make a recommendation that I wouldn't make too many people, but... for you that work, I don't think Storm is the spell that you want to be using. Just perhaps the idea of the High Templars, it should just be used for Archon for you, okay? I think anything that requires more than five brain cells should just be, you know, locked in the box for you. What? What was this? I mean, you win the fight once again, like don't get me wrong. It's absolutely impossible to lose these fights even though my man you're trying you're trying your absolute best to lose these fights like If this was if this was a broadcast game I knew you would be match fixing like There would be no discussion you'd be you'd be banned for life. Hey, this is not normal behavior Once again you're you're up 10 workers. You have a better army I like that you go back this is the first good move you do and we're We've only been 16 minutes in, so that's pretty fast. Good, good, okay, that's a, that was a good storm as well. So actually get some decent storms in. You're absolutely light years ahead again. You have four base against, well, I guess three base, well, four base as well, but it's not mining. I mean, you're not really mining either, to be fair. You decide to move out with a single immortal, three void rays, and four attempts. Then you don't cast storm. A couple of storms go down here. Once again, good fight. Just go back, remax. You have what? Seven gateways. Still haven't used your robot except for that one prism. Might want to get a couple more templar at this point as well and just really just produce anything at this point. Getting some probes. I do like that. I wonder if you have an immortal. You just forgot about it. That's nice. Casual scouting void ray. Who doesn't know? know it. I don't. I've never heard of the casual scouting voider. Don't do it, please. This is just, I am just impressed, honestly. The level of play in this game by you, that word, is so low that I always wonder what happens below diamond. If this is diamond, then what's happening in the lower leagues? And do I really want to go there? I think I know the answer to these questions and I don't think I want to go there. Now, you're actually getting a decent... What the hell? Single Stargate Carrier. I thought I'd seen it all, boys. The Single Stargate Carrier, A. An all-time classic. Zellet, Voidre, Arcon, Single Immortal, Templar, Carrier. Map control, zero. Map Vision, zero. Any idea of my opponent's tech. Zero. Any idea of how many bases my opponent has. Zero. Ways to detect my opponent's army. Zero. Brain cells. Three. On a good day, maybe four. For my boy, Dadward here. Lose his fourth, but... Oh, this is going to be one hell of a recall, isn't it? Okay. Actually, it was a nice recall. That was a good recall. I was going to make fun of him because I thought he just was going to reco. What? What the hell? Okay, let's look at this one again. How does this even happen? First person deal. First person view. Like these guys haven't seen enough yet. May they have 12 and 10 kills. These guys are veterans. And this rookie just throws a storm on them. This like literally everything you've done so far in this game actually constitutes a negative micro. I think almost every single fight would have been better with you just not doing anything. Just A moving in, closing your eyes, probably just walking away from your PC. It's not like you do anything else. Like, it's not like you macro behind this or you're actually, you know, making progress in this game. This is so insane. You're actually... I'm not even sure if you're behind. That's the thing. Reality doesn't mean much to me anymore at this point. If I was in this position, I'd probably feel ahead. But I've seen you in a position where you're up 20 supply and up 10 workers while floating 3K in the bank. And I still felt that you're just so far mentally behind that it doesn't really matter. So I, like I said, I think this position is okay for you. I just, I just think there are things wrong with you as a person that make this whole expedition a lot more painful than never should be. 2DTs, okay, we haven't seen those in a while. Maybe we could harass a bit with them, that would be cool. Good storms, very good storms. This was nice. Ooh, this was very good. Fantastic fight. Okay, like, how is it possible that sometimes you storm your own army and other times? You actually storm the other, yeah, the other rays. It's good stuff, man. That was good. Good job. I feel like I'm kind of getting Stockholm syndrome into giving him compliments, you know? He's abducted me and forced me to watch this replay and in order to kind of bond with him and try to make him release me. I just give him compliments and hope that that's going to help and that he won't send me anything anymore. Just kind of feel like giving this the imbalanced one, you know? So he just never emails me again. He's like, yeah, mate, this was completely broken. This definitely looks too difficult to beat. Let me run by, doing some damage. Honor was like to play like this. We have absolutely no goal in the game. Just kind of sit there and stuff happens to you. It's like the passive way to live life. Like never proactive about anything. I wasn't sick before this. I just started coughing randomly. I didn't know it's possible to actually get sick from watching this game. Like you're making me feel ill physically. I was gonna go for a run after this, but I don't think my legs will be able to move very far. I actually can't believe the things you're doing to me, man. It's really painful. constitute some type of abuse or assault. It's actually insane. How little I want to go? Another first person shot here. Dumb-pum-pum-pum. Dime, couple more units. Maybe you get some vision now. Let me just... Oh, plus three. Is he actually gonna wait until? he gets the money for plus three. I can't believe it. This guy's a legend. Look, he just has this cybercore selected. This is the beauty, I think, of the game at this level. If you don't have the money for something, instead of coming back in 10 or 12 seconds, you just sit there and stare at the mineral counter until you have enough. And he clicked the plus three upgrade. Then you chrono boosted once. It has nothing to do with StarCraft. This is a different game. I don't know, I don't want to comment on the storms anymore. But I keep beating a dead horse. The dead horse keeps showing me the dead horse. You're like, here where it is, man. Here's a club, like, just battered. I don't want to be beaten this horse enough. He's like, no, no, no. It might look that, but you can keep going. I don't want. This army is so bad. No, it's not true. This army is good, but... Okay, three bailings would absolutely destroy this. But if there's no bailings, this army actually has some potential. I'm just gonna speed this up a bit. My patience is ending. I don't understand how that would actually manage to play this game if this is how it looks like for him. Like, you send a run by or something at least. I think if all you care about this building stuff, you should be playing SimCity, my friend. Like roller coaster tycoon. The lion has escaped. And then Debtor just gives up because it's too much effort. Starts in a new zoo. No wait, that's not Roller Tocococoon. That's Zoo Tycoon. I also used to play that. Fantastic games, really. Spent way too much time with those when I was seven. That word never really grew out of them. 25, 26-year-old man. Sitting here still playing Zoo Tycoon. Just with different skins. A couple of stalkers for diversity in his army. Oh, okay. He hits 200 and he moves out. Okay, we at least know his trigger now. We know his trigger. Now this fight actually should be relatively easy. There's only Hydras and he has 12 Templar and all of them have full energy. So all he needs to do is make sure he doesn't lose his entire army charging in and storm the Hydras. But what's gonna happen is he's gonna A move in into this army with everything and then once all the zealids disappear he's gonna storm his own void rays and dark templar then he's gonna lose those then he'll only have templar left he'll still kill all of these hirass and then he'll lose to the remax and that's when he thinks he lost because of the remax this is gonna be it boys i can feel it okay let's show me those storms of that okay it's good storms fantastic strong a couple more can you have couple more here well good storm you know actually not bad storms i'm not gonna lie 3k in the bank that's okay oh lose all his dTs because they're moving forward i think what that work needs is a slower army he needs his entire army to be the speed of high templar so that when he's chasing an army the high templar can always storm because he lost 80 supply of zealads for no reason whatsoever which is nice but also kind of bad so he killed absolutely everything he had the fight of a lifetime he's up like 10k in units lost I have no clue how with his micro but he managed to somehow do it perhaps because his opponent decided to only build hydras against 35 Templar with storm if that word goes back now let's not forget by the way he didn't do a single macro action during this entire time he fought for two minutes he was busy looking at his army guys he's just gonna sit back and and macro up again isn't he I can feel it already. I still don't quite understand how he's going to be able to lose this game. Like his opponent literally only builds Hydros. And he has 4K in the bank. If Deadward wins this game and I just wasted 30 minutes of my life, I'm actually gonna flame him in some emails. And I'll record that process as well. I just can't understand how it's possible to lose this game. It seems not doable, right? Like this guy just keeps moving through storms as well. I guess the storm count is getting lower every time. And with the complete lack of macro on that word side, maybe it's possible? We have a run by, but there's three cannons. I wonder if that word actually ever looked at a replay. Just not this one, just in general. If he saw his mistakes, then wonder if there's anything he can do to improve. He has 3-3 upgrades. He's going to make fun of him for his crap upgrades. To be fair, if you only have plus 3 plus 3 at 30 minutes in the game while constantly floating 5K resources, that is pretty crap. He's going to lose it. He's going to recall. He's going to recall to this base. and he's going to lose all of his templars to five hydras is that what's going to happen? No Warps and DTs instead I mean this replay has to come to an end at some point right I remember I thought that once before and I was stuck in a 50 minute game between two guys that I don't think made it quite out of bronze too yet issues okay we have an attack from that word Now he's the famous zealots going forward move. His only mining base has just been destroyed. This one, okay, this one still is barely mining. There's what? 14, 2,800 minerals there. 2 times 1,400. I did that very fast in my head. If you guys were wondering how I calculated that so quick. I impressed a lot of people with my quick maths like that. So I saw 700 on one patch, then I clicked the other, 700 there. So the 2 times 700, that's 1400, because I know that 2 times 7, is 14. I have two zeros. Oh my god, are you joking? This is it. He a-moved his Templar. He lost because he a-moved his Templar. I actually cannot believe it. Please flame him, that word. Please just say something. Show me a sign. The euphoria of Pex has to be insane at this point. Kind of validated Pex's place though, which I'm not too happy about, because this guy literally only built Hydras and upgrades. Ooh, it's 20 Templar. Ooh, let me get some more Hydras. Ooh, that didn't work. Let me try another time. Hmm, more hydras. But you know, at least Pax isn't a complete it. yet. That seems to be reserved only for people that sent every place to me. In this case, Deadward. I am just going to scroll for it. I actually can't be bothered to watch him lose every single problem. He's actually going to stay in. He's actually going to wait for him. Gigi. It's over, guys. It's over. Holy crap, Deadward. What a train wreck of a game, my friend. Did you do critical damage? Yes. Yeah, you did critical damage. You killed him multiple times over. If this was a street fight, what happened here? List to this. A street fight with weapons. You had a knife. He had a knife. You stabbed him multiple times. He lost his knife. He was on the floor. He can't move anymore. He can't do anything. Except back for mercy. You stood there with a knife, claiming victory already. Then as you try to stab him, you fall over, accidentally cut off your left arm, your left leg, and step your big toe on your right foot. Rookie mistake, you might say. That's correct. Then, to continue the street fight analogy, you're still fine because you still have one arm and you still have one leg where only the big toe has gone missing. You decide for fun to stab your own stomach a couple of times, that you losing the charge of the analogy stops here my main point is is that everything you did this game was terrible your build order was literally a minute and a half two minutes late you floated money like your life depended on it like my friend like he's going to do banking or something save some cash like I absolutely no clue what you were doing there it's it's just impressive no map vision You had zero harass. You didn't even know he had a layer, I think. The only reason you know he had a layer was because this guy literally only built hydras. I don't think you built an observer to clear creep. Maybe you did. I can't remember. Your storms were something else. It was actually terrible. It hurt me to watch. You killed more of your own units than his at some points. Honestly, mate. The ability to remix of Zurich is strong. I can give you that. Like roaches are in hydras. They can come out fast. But you were so bad this game that you should actually never be allowed to complain ever again about anything in your life. You've been banned from complaining. I, you suck and you suck so hard, dude. You are so bad. Honestly, this is terrible. You suck. You, like, really, just really suck. I'm sorry, dude, like, yeah. I don't know guys, I don't know why they keep sending them to me. Why do they do it? If you like this, don't forget subscribe to my channel. More of this is over here.

Grand Theft Mutalisk | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck?

In todays episode we have a complaint about mutalisk. I obviously wanted to get to the bottom of this and used all my critical thinking skills to figure out if mutalisk are imba or if this guy sucks.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/harstem My second youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmwOm-YjCmcddE9xe9sEpUg Twitter: https://twitter.com/HarstemSc2 Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/harstem Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/harstemsc/

Dear Harstam, I've had to deal with Zerg for what feels like ages, and I'm not sure what to do. I feel like every time I get ahead with a successful push, they just stack switch and win the game anyway. Are Muda Zimba, or do I suck? Because it feels like every time I'm in a winning position, it's stolen from me. All capital understolen, of course. All right, Mr. Basherslis. Let's have a look to see if Zirq is Inba or if you suck. and specifically Muralis, I think, what's the issue here that you mentioned. So let's hope straight into it here on Simulacrum, one of the older maps actually. Curse how we got a new replay on one of the old maps. That's going to be interesting to think about. All right, we have ourselves here. Mr. Basherslice was a 4.4K player, a pro, Not sure what server he's on, but maybe my editor managed to find out and there will be a little pop-up now. Now, he's struggling with mutalis. Now, whenever you see someone struggle with mutilisk, this is usually because a couple of reasons. A, they don't build anti-air. B, they don't have base defense. And C, they attack into someone who has Murales, then lose into a base trade. These are the usual reasons why people lose against Mutas. a lot of the time the correct play to do against mutas is just to do nothing and get cannons and batteries and just sit there till you have max supply and then you move out while chronoing out phoenixes basically off of a single stargate majority of the time this is going to be enough against phoenixes so the main things we're going to be looking at here is of course the early game then see how he transitions into a midgame what his economical position is and how he deals with muddhas eventually but we always start with the build order and so far this is looking absolutely fantastic voice voice i'm loving this so cybercorps sound at 160 minerals see only 10 minutes late see only 10 minutes late this is something i could do as well 21st probe gets an assimilator please uh okay assimilators one supply late Oh, gets a pylon before the assimilator. That's definitely an error stops work in production. It's a bit yikes here. It's a bit yikesy. You're supposed to get a 21 assimilator, 22 pylon never stopped pro production, of course. But we can forgive him for these minor errors. If what he says is true and Muralisk are actually broken, then it doesn't matter if you have an assimilator three seconds earlier. Like, I mean, if they're actually broken, then it doesn't even matter at all what you do, because Muralisks are going to win. anyway so the Stargate man I'm actually this is the second week in a row where we have a guy actually doing sensible stuff in the first three minutes which is just fantastic to see you know I almost feel like I need to speed this up a bit because this just looks so beautiful it's like there's no real point going over this because it's actually correct like he's he's doing the correct things he's following a build order he's making sensible moves look he doesn't lose his probe he has an adept for scouting a third He has a stalker for clearing this overlord. He's going to get a second gate a little bit too fast maybe. Okay, there's some... You're not supposed to get a probe cut at this point. That's not good. You're all supposed to get a second pylon before your second gateway. That way it's easier to get a third unit and a second oracle. But we can forgive all of those minor mistakes in the build order because the general idea here is just working for him. know it's wow my god that's a battery oh no he's an idiot it's gonna be one of those games huh all right the reason you don't build a battery when you're playing oracles because you have a freaking oracle an oracle kills everything you've seen a third base what are you gonna need a what are you going to need a battery for what's he going to build over three bases it's just going to be lings it's worst case scenario it's bay lings and even then you're going to have two oracles. Oh my God. I hate it and people will be like, oh, it's only 100 minerals. In general, it's a good investment. I don't care. It's a bad investment. It's not a good investment. You're wrong. You're not supposed to build a battery at this point. You're supposed to be getting a faster third base and you're floating 400 minerals already. Why is this overlord not being cleared? The peeping Tom is in front of your window. It is. My boy, Basherslice here is a good. girl changing or a man changing can be either just coming out of the shower he looks out of his window and he sees a guy in a long letter coat you know one of those that goes all the way down to the legs camera in the hand and my boy basher slice you know what he does he just stands there you know it's like continuous with whatever it's doing now you could say oh that's not a bad that this fella is taking pictures and everything. Like Bessor's Lice, cover up, close your window, call the police. In this case the police is this stalker. They could just walk here and shoot the peeping tom. Like this is not what you're supposed to do. My friend. Take out this overlord. Why would you give someone free information when you can make them pay for it through an only fans account? That's the real question I have here for you. Uh, where different Bres Gies said is quite the the supply block as well 830 minerals third base is way too late um should be going down generally not after 410 4 minutes and 10 seconds if you do it after 4 minutes and 10 seconds you've made a mistake already now i realize that you've made many mistakes in your life so this seems to just be adding on on top of a pile of why do you have two batteries you know a battery was wasted if it only uses two energy if you can't even see that it used energy when you zoom in on it. There's two batteries. What's wrong with you? It's such a terrible structure to build this fast. To be fair, for me, it would be a mistake to build this battery. But for my man, Batcher Slicer, it doesn't matter because he seems to be very happy with just having a 1K bank at all times. A little bit of a buffer, you know? How anti-American of him. actually have some savings. Huh. Two gates going down, Robo, Twilight. He's absolutely lost. Man, I can't believe how quickly this went from, man, this guy actually plays a build order. This is going to be great. To him just throwing down all the buildings that he knows the names of in rapid succession. Because he, for some reason, is incapable of taking extra base. Like, literally what you can do. You can just move. here with five units. Oh, okay. If there's 20 lings, you can move here with three adepts, two oracles and a probe. And if he jumps on top of your probe, you can kill eight lings. Like if you activate the oracles in time. But instead, what my boy Baxter Slice does, Besser Slice, yeah, Bester Slice. What my boy Besser Slice does over here is he just sits, sits at home, you know, just sits here, just behind his batteries, behind his wall, gets a prism. 8 gateways is absolutely fantastic the thought process I'm not sure what he's thinking is like oh that's a lot of lings like opponent is 23 workers ahead right now we do have some pretty decent production I have to say which is I guess something to have eight gates no tech well charge is tech with no forge nine more drones for those it sure really doesn't give a crap either by the way holy. Circus is two base. It's like, you know what? Probably is the right call here. I just add a sport on my fourth base and get a couple more gases. Overlord speed, road speed, bailing speed, plus one. 74 drones, seems all right here. It's literally up 30 workers. Literally up 30 workers. It's just absolutely amazing to watch. The best part is there's going to be some guys in the comments going, I can't believe this is 4.4k. Man I'm high gold and my game is way better than this. I'm gonna have to break it to you guys, but your games don't look much better than this. It's gonna be so much worse. This is the, it's absolutely the best part about reading the comments that is it in Bardoosakis, the guys, they're high silver and complaining about the Masters 1 player suck. He's like, man, this guy is so much worse than me. I can't believe I'm stuck in silver one, lol. All right, we have a... enough bashing on the lower leaks we have a little move out here as a bachelor slides managed to take out this forfeit now in theory this is something that looks quite nice right but this is the this is the tuned-up car without an engine move is what I call it it's like it's like the car that can make the they can go up and down you know to go myr-purn and and as like Real Niles, do you call it a body of a car? I think so. It's like a good car body. Like you know it's gold or red. It's shiny, no well cleaned. And then you ask Bacher's Slice, hey Bacher's Slice, that's a good looking car man. How fast does it go? And it doesn't drive. No engine. No inside. Just all outside. And that's the same with this move. He walks across the map, kills the Ford. And people go like, wow man, he denies and he denies. afford this game is looking tight and then you look back at what my boy basher slice has and he has an army consisting of five sentries barely getting 60 workers not a single attack upgrade and he's getting storm which that's actually something i like i'm not sure why i was was hating on that and i do get storm a lot as well i take back the hating on the storm and i'd like to formally apologize to basher slice and oh i'm other protoises who might have thought for a second there that storm was a bad. Storm is always a good call. Let's have a quick look at what my boy Basherslides doing here. Just this scouting information at the nine minute mark. So so far, Basherslice is aware that this base is being rebuilt. In Bashers' mind, there is, well, this gas isn't even done yet for Bashar. There's no gas here. There's no gases here. So right now, Zerg is on three gas. and on hatchery tag. I doubt Bashar had the clarity of mine to click on one of the units, so it probably takes this zero zero as well. Now in reality, we have a six gas, that's on layer, has a spire, two evos, which only one is being used, but I can't forgive him for that, a road warren and a bailing nest, and bailing speed done, and road speed done, and someone with 198 capacity who's still building six more overlords. So, If Pacheles was aware of this, he knew for sure to not target overlords in the next fight. But he also would know perhaps that's wise to build a couple of phoenixes, perhaps a cannon here and there. Now, this is always one of the key moments in a Produs's life, is when Muras fly in and you're not prepared. This is where we separate the boys from the men. This is where we separate the GPL 2016 winners from the non-devil. GPL 2016 winners. What is the reaction to the Muta? It's actually pulls away. That looks pretty decent here. Attacks across the map and he's going for the base trade scenario. Now the beauty of the base trade is that it never works against Muta if it's done like this. Like it only works if the base trade was a decision. This wasn't a decision. This was oh crap, I'm out of position. I think I'm going to attack. Now, I'm not saying that batter slides necessarily gonna lose, but I don't think he's winning either, because he just lost every single gas unit he had in his army to four bailings. This is just absolutely great. This also, by the way, was only six minutes. Oh wow, the game's actually over. Man, I thought it's going to be a real long replay. Let me talk a bit more though. So another thing I want to talk about is the, it's not just him. losing everything for banlings but also six murals so this was six i can count seven seven murals this is what i call the the muta reaction that people always do is they see seven muras and they go oh i can't believe he managed to get out 25 muras it's time for me to base trade because there's no way i can get on the air well if you actually warp in four stalkers against this you're probably going to be fine and you can just play it out normally because seven mutas actually isn't that much he still had a single phoenix as well so four A forestalker and a phoenix can probably just push this away and probably give it some chase as well. And then all you do is you clear this base and then you piss off back home when you're on four bases and probably still at 65 workers. But instead, evacuates two bases completely because of seven mutas, then walks up a ramp. I can't honestly see this one in slow motion again because this is one hell of a fight. Now let's count the force shields we have available here. All right. wait i need to open my my thing for that that is oh i can't see energy when i'm when i'm on bus okay so this is about well that's four four eight six let's say 18 force fields it's a rough estimation he also well he used to have about maybe five storms let's see exactly what he does with his spells here okay five storms i think it's all right four storms okay four storms 18 forces no five storms this guy comes in okay so No force fields yet, no force fields yet, no force fields yet. Storm number one. Boom, boom. Good storms. Getting a lot, getting a lot of lings, a lot of damage. No force field, no force field, no force field, no force field. Storms, pretty decent storms. Doesn't really kill it. Every spellcaster just died. Well, well, Mr. Bressor's lies. This ain't it, Chief. This ain't it, Chief. This ain't it. It's time for your evaluation. Now, you said mutas were OP, but really your early game was absolutely terrible. You were down 30 workers, was it? 44 to 74, right? Yeah, that was it. That was it, like the 6 minute mark, 640, 7 minute mark. Not very good. You didn't know harass at all with your oracles. You didn't manage to take a third. Your build order made no sense. Forge was too late. Never did a single run. did a single run by scouting was atrocious. I dislike your name. I think it's not very good. I'm sorry. That's at home. I'll take that back. Your name is nice. You're good boy. Your micro was terrible. Your car doesn't have an engine. How are you going to pick up any girls basher? How are you going to do it? You can't. Well, no one can't COVID and all. everything yeah and then you completely overreacted to the mutas it was seven man it wasn't mess mute i was seven mutas how can you lose that that's just impressive you're impressive at sucking because you suck all right that's going to be it for today's episode of is it imba or do i suck if you did like this don't forget to subscribe to my channel and if you didn't like this don't forget to support me on Patreon, Twitter and Twitch.

Roach Printer Goes BRRRRRRRRRRRR | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck?

Hello Kevin, big fan of all your content. Your guys help me learn a lot. I know I don't execute them perfectly. But hey, why should I? If I'm a 4.4K, you brain that Protoss player has been touched inappropriately by roaches too many times. I play different styles. Clave adepts, DTs, blink DTs, Blink DTs, Stargate, two basal lanes, but all of them have one thing in common. The bug on the other side of the map just holds the R button for too long and kills me no matter what I do. This game I have a near-perfect build-up to six minutes, losing nothing early, staying ahead of my opponent's ego the entire game, while I scout my opponent perfectly, and I'm able to pick off a few drones here and there with oracles. Without losing them, don't forget about that. He doesn't lose his oracles. What a micro god. Hell, I even expect a roach attack from him, and he walks up in the worst possible choke. But it doesn't matter, because the roach printer pumps out so many units. I just can't deal with it. Much love, Brady. The title of this is Roachpinter. go brr welcome to is it imba or do i suck where today we will be investigating whether roaches are overpowered or of brady sucks now it's a very difficult question to answer usually but it's just the main the main claim that i want to be looking at is the first six minutes right he says i played the first six minutes near perfect which i have pretty high standards for near perfect so let's have a look at exactly how near perfect it is what he's truly doing here he's playing against SRBS is a Zerg player seems to be aware of what is the proper opening here now gas first coming out of Brady which is completely fine if you're not scouting it allows you to get slightly more gas rather than rather than getting more minerals or sending out a scout because the moment your gas finishes, usually you get an extra worker. So right now you can rally it straight into the gas. Usually you want full saturation on the mineral, so you don't need the gases early if this probe would go across the map to scout. I hope that made some sense. It's going to be a no scout. And this opening all looks pretty tidy. I love it. I love it. Overlord's flying across the map. You have a wall that actually looks like it might wall something. So, you know, already big improvements being made over the guy from last week who I think forgot to walt for what was it the first eight or nine minutes of the game so we're already seeing some resemblance of an actual video game which is nice to see you know it's nice every once in a while to see a game where at least the first one minute and 33 seconds seem somewhat normal I do have to admit that the core is a little late which means this gate must have been a little late as well this is a full wall it doesn't look like it but it is how the rocks work. I believe it is at least. And we'll figure it out later otherwise. Moves to the watchtower. Get a second pylon at an appropriate timing. So maybe the first six minutes aren't near perfect, but at least the first two minutes are indeed absolutely fantastic. And I am starting to get this weird feeling in my stomach voice. This might be the week. This might be the week where we figured out that the roaches are actually overpowered because this guy, he seems to be right. I mean, he's doing everything correct. So, far. This is the perfect game. Okay, he's getting Warpgate before any tag. He's not getting any tag. Warpgate before attack. Even this, I don't mind. This could be a trick. Tricking your opponent. Hey, look, I'm getting Warpgate before any tack. This is not Stargate. So it's a little bit of a trick. I don't mind that. I don't mind that at all. Stalker as a second unit makes sense. Almost constant pro production. Man, this actually is looking good. We're three minutes in game. and we might actually have to approve his claim that this is the best six minutes that is possible. This opponent's couting around the map. This is a good level game. It's very weird that sometimes I watch like the 4K players and they play like they're, you know, it's like they're playing Red Alert or something. Like I've never seen a game like they apparently play on a daily basis. And then this guy is also 4.4. He's playing a fantastic early game. Nothing wrong here. Forgets his Oracle for a little bit. So that's not quite perfect. Yeah, it's on the way, it's maybe 10 seconds later or so. Honestly, I'm not too disappointed so far here, my friend. I'm not too disappointed so far. We have no chronobo boost on the workers though. I wouldn't mind seeing one or two extra chronobo boost on the workers. Get a little more probe, get a little more money. I think a second gate usually is necessary as well. Third gas is too fast. Okay, it plays Oracle Phoenix. A lot of the time when you're going to be playing Oracle Phoenix, it's better to play adapt, adapt, adapt, rather than adapt stalker. Because the phoenix basically does what your stalker does, and that's denying scouting. So there's no real use in getting that stalker in that case. Get a robo, relatively quickly. A third base as well. I mean, this is a bit of an old build order, but it's still a build order of some sort. So first four minutes, near perfect. I wouldn't mind that. I think we can agree on that. I think we can agree on that actually. Phoenix is getting some kills as well. He got some kills with this Oracle. Like the start here is looking absolutely fantastic. I'm getting afraid that we might have to approve his first claim. Of the almost perfect first six minutes. Okay, here's a big supply block. This is a painful supply block as well because this is with the second Oracle. That's a little painful. Okay, it's not near perfect. It's not that difficult to not get supply blocked. It gets a forge. If he gets a twilight, yeah? The build order here makes a lot of sense. This is very close to what I recommend it to casually explain as well to do. It's one of the better build orders. Whenever, this is a mistake. It should always be right in the little nuke over here or over here. And he still gets a pretty decent trade here. I'm happy with that. He continues his worker production. He is not getting an observer or an immortal. This actually is a huge error because you want to be seeing what your opponent is doing as fast as possible with that obstacle. server. And Brady right now, yeah, this is really late. Okay, so this is, this is actually kind of a big mistake. Also, not having the second Oracle yet is kind of annoying. General lack of map vision. I mean, the Adepts are really not doing anything. They could be either holding this tower over here, or the adepts could be trying to do some damage on the other side, perhaps move to this tower, clear creep over here, or maybe in unison with these two or try and do some damage. He's not doing any of that, which I'm not a massive fan of. Now, we actually are seeing a lot of money floating right now, so it is not perfect. Let's be real here. We're going to pause at six minutes and do a small mid-game review. We don't usually do that, but I think he made such a strong claim on the first six minutes being near perfect that I think we're just going to have a look at the state of the game at six minutes. So midgame review. Ding da-da-ding, ding, ding, ding. That's the theme song for the mid-game review. I made it myself just now. We have an observer staying at home, not scouting anything. He's been at home for quite some time, at least 28 seconds. Now, you could say, how do you know he's been here 28 seconds? Couldn't it be a chronobo boost on the robot? And the observer's only been at home for what? 20 seconds or 18? No, because we see chronobo boost hasn't really been used at all. whatsoever. I mean, it could be possible in theory, but I don't think our main character, the protagonist, has been using chronoboose. So that's another mistake. No scouting, no chronobusing on probes, no chronobusing on upgrades. Near perfect game, but floating 1200 minerals. Near perfect game, but floating 460 gas. Near perfect game, but not producing workers from one of your necksi. Harass has been pretty okay. He killed six workers. of lings I think he's actually up in workers which he said he was but he's he should be at least up to six gates by now he should probably have gas five and six on the way if you actually follow the proper build order were the first six minutes near perfect the answer is no definitely no let's continue so the first claim has kind of been disproven lots of money floating lots of Chrono floating, not constant pro-production, poor scouting. So these are the first three points we have. SimCity here looks pretty terrible. You want to be walling off part of your nexus, not the entire part of your nexus. Because now imagine the Zerg positions himself over here. All these gates are going to be three real estate for him, where he just can kill them and you can't move through this choke. You're creating a massive choke for yourself. So most of the time you only build one or you build two gates. So you have a lot of space for your army to move through to defend those gateways as well, necessary. So you say you scouted roaches or you knew they were coming, but you haven't really seen that much. You don't really seem prepared either. The scouting info you have so far is that he didn't take the gases on his third base and you know nothing about the main base. And then all of a sudden, what is it, 20 roaches show up, 14 roaches and 6 ravagers. You have a single immortal. Like, this is not quite what you want. Now, in this kind of situation, we look at the response. What is the panic response here from our ProDos player Brady. Now, he should be getting void rays should be Crono boost. He should be getting Immortals, should be Crono boost. Perhaps a battery here or there. Perhaps a cannon using your war pins as efficiently as possible. Using your oracles to target down ravagers because that gives a, they give more damage to ravitors. None of these things is happening. Instead, he builds a prism, which is definitely a wrong call. But this roach push actually gets completely destroyed even though a lot of the responses weren't very clean he didn't really scouted and he wasn't ready he still managed to completely destroy the roach bush which you know is a good thing so now what you would think is well you keep your observer here and you see more roaches coming what is the response to more roaches coming probably immortals probably an extra cannon probably uh avoid ray warping in units not getting supply blood not floating 2k minerals all of these things are usually quite good to do, especially the not floating at this point, two and a half K resources, basically. As we see in a response to floating this many resources, he builds gateways. Now it's easy to say, well, you don't need this many gateways on three days, which probably is true, but in this case, it's better to invest into something and into nothing. I'm just going to go back into the replay. I'm sorry because okay he has a good position here all he needs to do is force field the ramp you know one two three doesn't happen bios just standing in the bios do you see that he just attacks his own stalker here so first of all he misses his forcefield he attacks his own stalker he stands in the bios if he just puts down three forcefields this game is completely over again even if he just gets a single void rate this game is really really good for him I feel like there are so many things here that Dredi already could have been improving on that his first six minutes weren't good but minutes six till 830 were quite awful mostly with negative micro we call it negative micro in the pro scene when someone micro something but it would have been better left unmicroed and I think in Brady this might be the case because whatever he's doing with his unit seems to actually make them perform worse than I thought was possible. All the while floating 2.3k resources. Losing a third base. At this point the game is pretty over. Brady has shot his shot. He has lost his third base. He's lost some probes. There's not much he can do anymore. At this point, Brady is fuming at home. boiling his head is becoming all red and he's probably screaming to his friends that are watching him play live because he told him he's so good at this video game I swear guys I'm very good because the roaches meanwhile the other guy playing with one hand injecting with his eyes closed a moving roach across the map and our boy brady calls G G G G not brady brady brady brady brady brady brady brady brady brady brady I kinda wanna have a quick look at the email again. Flashback. What did we read? The bug on the other side of map just holds the R button for too long and kills me no matter what I do. This game I have a near perfect build up to six minutes. Losing nothing early, staying ahead of my opponents eco the entire game. Well I scout my opponent perfectly. Okay, so first of all, you might have scouted your opponent perfectly. You did see the Roach Warren. Actually, you didn't even see the main base. You didn't know the drone count. You didn't know how many gases he was on. And actually, just scouting perfectly, even if you had, which I think you had enough information to know something aggressive was coming. You saw less than six gas, only four, usually indicates roach aggression, or Ling Bane aggression, or just pure Ling aggression. So you saw this. The problem is you don't react. Like, you scouted it, and you didn't react. That's not a very good thing to do in life. That is not a very good thing to do in life. You're the kind of guy that stands on the side of the road and you see like a car coming your way and you go, there's a car coming my way. He's like, oh, that looks kind of dangerous. And you just keep standing there. Until the car hits you and then you complain in the hospital. What was I supposed to do? Like I knew he was coming, but he's like, well, yeah, if you know the car is coming, you move to the side, you idiot. Same here in Starcraft. You scout the roaches are coming. and you just jump in front of the car this is the wrong move what you're supposed to do you're supposed to get immortals get your cannons get your batteries get your spent your money in general void rays for all i care um you macroed pretty terribly you forgot the force field the ramp your oracle control is pretty good i'll give you that i like your oracle control i did like your first six minutes except for the fact that your gateways were too late um but yeah honestly just no micro not enough units macro to poor are vouchers imba no they're not you just really suck my friend that's the reality of the case all right everyone thanks so much for watching if you did enjoy this video don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel up here if you want to see more videos like this go here if you want to see my latest video go here also I have social media in this corner, Twitter, my Patreon and my Twitch, Twitch, I'll be streaming daily from around 4pm Central European summertime till about 9 and in the weekends, usually a little less, but check it out if you want to and see you all next time.
