Is This Terran PRODIGY Whining Or Just Spitting The TRUTH?? | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck?

An up and comer by the name of "CuKu"recently reached out to me, since this Protoss player seemed unbeatable and made the race straight up look imba on his own. But once I saw this guy's name, I knew what was going on. The Protoss just is THAT good! Smash like and subscribe, so that this Protoss can win tournaments soon!

Dear Harstam, I am here to tell you that my brain, it's dying every time I'm playing a TVP, but especially this one. My opponent had no clue about my build order, taking massive damage from one Reaper at the start of the game, while behind I'm playing a fast TRIRCC build, but still this was aunt enough. My oops were better, my economy was better. My opponent, it, Stephen getting outplayed a couple of times and he was doing a mediocre job at splitting his army properly. But once Tos gets into late game and they're getting a massive number of disruptors and blink DTs, you can't do anything anymore. My conclusion, it as that TVP, it as unplayable as a Terran, but maybe I am a wrong. So what do you think? Lord, Harstem. Is it Imba or do I suck? Nice. Kuku send this to me. Kuku is a prodigy Terran player. Playing for Team Rotti. I just dropped to the chair. He's about 5-7-58K MMR. He's one of the up and coming young boys that we have on the letter currently. Like I said, recruited by Team Rotti. Very solitaire player. And his opponent is going to be someone we are all very well, very familiar with. It is the cowboy, also known as Harston. It's a me. So this is a game that I'm. I played against Kuku. He sent me this replay, I believe, a week or so after this game was played. And right now we're about two weeks after that again, because I kind of forgot about this. Then I opened up my Discord and I remembered this message. And I was like, hey, let's have a look at that. So here we are. Kuku, a pretty decent Grandmaster player. I want to say somewhere around rank 100, rank 80. I actually don't know. Maybe it's rank 70 or 50. I'm sorry if I said too low of a rank Kuku. I know you're a fantastic player. But we're going to be having a look exactly at what he does. I can't remember this game at all, so it's also going to be a nice trip down memory lane. I assume that I win this game, not only because I'm a fantastic player, but also because he submitted his replay complaining about Protoss. Even though I wouldn't put it past most Terrans to complain about the matchup after winning, I have seen it happen. I've had Terrence complain that they didn't win hard enough because ProDos is so imbalanced. This is the type of stuff that only Terrans come up with. zergs are happy to win anything. Proes are happy to win anything. But for Terrans, they need to win in a dominating fashion. If the game is even slightly close, that might indicate an imbalance. Okay? This Prodol's player is a little bit slow on the head. It's going to lose his pro to the Marine here. See, it's not too happy with it. Happs to the best body. Don't worry about it. We have a single worker here, mining gas. Okay, single worker here mining gas. so that tends to indicate that we're going to be working with a triple cc which is also what he said in his imbalance form i said i'll remember that he said don't forigate me please i said i won't and he said thanks there's some high-level dialogue um this this could be a hollywood movie with this level of dialogue this could be a ben stiller movie except i don't look quite as good as ben stiller and but i'm also not funny so still could be a Ben Stiller movie. Okay, I opened up with Stargate and I didn't chronobo boost my second adept. I am kind of an idiot sometimes. I might not. That actually is really dumb. I'm not a big fan of that. All right. Reaper pops in. Yeah, I'm going to take some damage from this Reaper. That much is obvious. So, even said that, I took big damage from the Reaper. I can't remember this at all. I always chronoboose my second adapt. I bet I was telling a great story at the same time to my stream or something like that. This Reaper's going to get what? Kills. Come on, this isn't big damage, this is two kills. Oh, fuck. That's messed up. You can't say big damage when you get two kills with a Reaper. That's okay damage. Like it's like it's like a mule not working. Immediately sends it into the main base though. I really like that. Rather than losing mining time and keeping it over here, he says, okay, I'm just going to send my mule and my two extra SDV straight into the main base and I'm going to be fine with that. I like that response a lot. That's a really cool response cuckoo. That's cool. That's definitely a cool thing to do. What else do we see here? We have a Phoenix being built for the cowboy. We have two adepts moving in as well. Two adepts. Oh, they're going to finish up. Am I also going to do big damage here? Well, it doesn't quite seem to be the case. I think I'm going to be able to kill what? Two marines? Maybe escape with two adepts or with one adept. It's an okay trade. It's like one adept against two marines. I think if you're playing Stargate, that's actually a slightly better trade for Protoss, but it's not going to end the game most likely. Mainly if you play Oracle, trading out Marines against Adapt's is a good thing, because then he has less Marines to defend the Oracle, right? But because I'm playing Phoenix, it's a little bit less of a big deal. Third Bay is going to be going down here, and this is all of a One Gate. So this looks like it's going to be forged Twilight for me, rather than Robo, maybe Twilight into... But once I see the third base, I think I throw down a Robo as well. It's kind of cool. I can't remember the game very well, but I can kind of predict what I'm going to do just based on how I know I think. Okay, we immediately see a robo. I'm surprised we don't straightaway see a forge and a second gate. Okay, a second gate is here and forge also should be going down soon. I think I'm not sure if I want to cut phoenixes here. Ooh. Now, this is actually big damage. All right, Cuckoo, let me explain something to you. Let me explain something to you. A mew, a freshly landed mew will mine as much as I believe. 3.54 workers or something like that. 3.5 workers, I always say. So, I just practically killed 7 workers, at least for the duration of the mule. During that time, you're going to have 7 workers less income. That is big damage, okay? And I didn't even lose a phoenix for that. You had to lose the Reaper to kill two workers. Sure, that damage was permanent, but you also lost the Reaper. And you always kind of kill one worker with the Reaper if you're going to sacrifice it. So really, you only killed one extra work. I'm not expected to get to Phoenix. Look how upset you are. Nice. Nice. Okay, so I scouted basically everything. Here, wait. Didn't he, what did he say? My ups, splitting. My opponent had no clue about my build order. What do you mean I had no clue about your build order? Okay, let's, let's just go back. The first time I scout. At this, I just, I scout. At this, I was, I was, I was a little bit. At this, I was, I, you mean, I had no clue about your build order. And what you mean? And I, I had no clue about your build order. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay Okay Okay. Okay. Okay Okay Okay. Okay Okay Okay. Okay Okay. Okay Okay Okay. Okay Okay Okay Okay. Okay Okay Okay. Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay. Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay. Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay. Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay. Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay. Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay Okay. Okay. Let's just go back the first time I scout. At this point, I have no clue about your build order, but it's not because of a lack of scouting. That's just because I cannot know. That's like me saying, right now my opponent has no clue, how many workers I have in my natural. It's like it's completely irrelevant because I don't have to respond to anything yet. Like there's no threat coming to me right now, and there can't be because I understand how the game works. It's like me pausing the game and asking you, hey, what currently is my work account and you're not answering the questions and then me writing an imba forming like my opponent didn't even have a clue how many workers I had. What an idiot. It's like it's irrelevant how many workers I have. It doesn't matter because I can't do anything even if you would have told me at this but I would have been able to do something with that information but I can't. It's not possible to get that information earlier. I saved up two phoenixes. Perhaps I could have gone a bit faster but I wanted to catch something. And then I decided, you know what, I'm just going to go for a scout. I see three barracks. I see the amount of Marines. And I notice immediately, okay, this is absolutely no problem for me. I'm not building a battery. So I realize this is triple C. I am not overreacting, thinking this is some type of three wrecks. I see the three racks. And I immediately realize, okay, I know what this is now. Like, I'm not taking any weird safety measures, any big prevent. Okay, I do get a battery here. I guess a little bit bad. I take back everything I said in the past 25 seconds. Maybe I didn't quite understand what I was going. I built two batteries. Okay, that's actually kind of embarrassing. I scout it now, though. Do I cancel? You know what? Is that even that bad though? Because very often, beyond when he would play this build, he would still walk across the map with Marines, with Stim, and then he tried to do damage. I think a battery is fine against this. I take back that I took it back. I put it back out there. Everything I said in the past 50 seconds, except when I said that I would take it back, has been untaken back. So it has been the truth. I play the Uno Reverse card. Second game, I don't like this, actually. This should have been a Forge. This is a Twilight and then a Robo Bay. Come on, Kevin. Get it. What am I doing? Oh, okay, I remember now. This is when I watch Showtime play Charge into Robo Bay. with phoenixes i thought it was so cool and no matter what was going to happen i would have played this so i'm not completely responding to everything but i'm responding a little bit all right a little little bit of a response i'm okay with that a little bit of a response you know sometimes you just got to test some stuff out and yeah i'm happy with it what is these two barracks i feel like this is a weird timing for barracks and i find it a weird location as well i'm also not sure about the single ebay but i don't mind it i like when terence nah i think single ebay is actually fine in this situation because you got it so fast. So then you get a nice push with plus one combat shield, high marine count. It's actually really good against big Phoenix builds. And because my colossi is actually pretty late, I kind of like his position for an initial push that he could potentially execute. He hadn't really made any major mistakes, except for losing the two mules where he wasn't really in position. He's hunting for Phoenix's finds of Phoenix. Honestly, he's in an okay spot. The only thing that I do have a little bit of an issue with is with the fact that, oh, I get another mule, that's really nice. he's floating a little bit of money at times where it isn't quite necessary as you see that i'm also floating some money but i'm a Protoss player so it's allowed because i'm waiting for my warpins so you see the moment i warp in i kind of spend it automatically you really do have to be careful here because it just means that you're not producing properly or you're getting supply block i'm not quite sure what the case was here but it there is no way for tarrant to quickly invest resources into something um if your infrastructure is too late yeah this is actually a pretty painful supply block. He needs the depot drop and gets another depot immediately. He already had two depot drops. That's two strikes already, all right? That's dangerous. Has to build three depots after he depot dropped. That is the anticipation level of a duck when he's eating all the bread being thrown at him. Oh, more bread. That's delicious. Idiots. The fact that ducks manage to survive makes me doubt evolution. Where were we? Five depots being built after. a Depot drop, okay? This is kind of messed up. I'm not going to lie. It's really kind of messed up. I don't think that is cool. This is nice move, Kevin. Yes, baby. Pick him up. Get him a router for free. Nice. Phoenixes are brilliant. Observer, also beautiful position. Now, I could say, I was going to say, you should scan this, but I'm not going to blame you for it if you don't, but you found it. So I'm going to give you credits for that. You did a good job there. Yeah. you did a good job there. So far, except for the massive supply block, I'm honestly, like, nothing really has happened. Except that I feel like your push is just late. It doesn't have that many units. I guess the supply block and it kind of does help with that. You go into plus one and then what is your follow-up here? So there's a couple of things you can do to follow-up, and all of these are valid follow-ups. So what you can do right now is you could throw down a fourth base, do a 1-1 push and get a second tech structure. So like Ghost Academy, Fort Base. Or you could get second Starport, Fort Base. Or what you could be doing is you get eBay Armory Fort Base. And you go into heavier upgrades and you stay on the map for a long time with two armies. These are all valid options. I'm just laying out the options right now. It's playing Fort Tech Lab, by the way. Which is kind of rare. Most of the time against Phoenix Openers, you have these Terran players that really like to open up with a heavy Marine force for the first two metaphics and then after the first two metaphics have hit, that's when they start sprinkling in marauders. Because they know that that's when the Colossi most of the time are going to come out. This was a really good trade for him and really poorly done by the Protoss player. Protoss in general in this game is a little bit in trouble actually. He's going to give up one unit. I am going to give up one unit. Speaking of third person is really odd. I'm having a very difficult time to get any type of map vision, honestly, over here. Nice. Send in a hallucination to tank the mine shot and tank it with your main dude. Alrighty, it's that time again. Today it's time for the very best of the very worst. Welcome to Bronze League Heroes. Absolutely fantastic. I think I'm going to go for a push now or something like that. Second Robo going down. I kind of like the way this toss is playing. I don't mind it at all. Good vision as well out of the toss. Okay, so this is the plan here. He's going to be going for double eBay Armory, Ghost Academy, and a fourth base it's a little bit too much at the same time i think i believe you're going to need a sixth gas for this no in order to afford this you can start two two and your ghost upgrades and ghost another supply block by the way it's a little bit painful did we have another supply drop as well no i'm keeping tabs on you buddy you're not getting away with any supply drops this game that i can ensure you you're just lacking gas no i think you're going to be lacking some gas it's floating a lot of money as well why you're not producing anything out of a lot of structures that's actually kind of bad like you I always like to translate units into supply and a thousand minerals that is 20 Marines 20 times 50 20 supply of Marines so you know you could be at 180 supply to be fair would only be Marines but you can some eroters in there as well which can be kind of useful you also could have already started your extra three barracks if you want to be going into that or your second starport whatever it is you want to be doing i think if you open with ghost double ebay i'd say probably want to be going into that eight racks first right um instead you decide to drop here do get the plus two this is a nice drop and the phil phoenixes are going to get at least one of holy crap this provost is a little bit of an idiot does end up getting the matter of fact though so it's not the end of the world salad's run by doesn't achieve much prism stays alive now a little bit of a supply block here for the prolos after his piling got killed on the right side ford base is about to finish up and now yeah you're you're lacking the gas buddy you can't afford this with five gas I think like he's going to be getting a so so basically the way I tend to this is your first real structure as a Terran okay this costs a lot of gas This costs a lot of gas to get ghost out, to get the enhanced shockwave. And then this is also going to cost a lot of gas. These upgrades cost a lot of gas. So doing all of that at the same time, while in five gas, is extremely unrealistic. You're going to have to cut something, and I'm afraid it's going to be the enhanced shockwave. You've been cutting a lot of air units already as well. Let's not forget we're 10 minutes in game. You've lost three MEDFX, and you only have six air units out. I think your first two MED of X finished at the 7.9. minute mark. Is that correct? Then you produce two every 30 seconds, which means you could have had 14 air units out if you had the money to continuously produce. Right now you have nine out. So I wouldn't have minded if there was three extra air units out, something like that. Would have probably been good. Second starboard. In that case, you also don't need such a fast second star port or you could get the a dregs first i still think in general the a dregs wouldn't have been bad if you're floating one k the entire time but there's just a lot of decisions where i'm not sure what is exactly best or what the complete correct order is but i really do believe a couple of extra barracks wouldn't hurt at this point especially because you're floating money like there's no shame in doing that you know even if sure you are grandmaster and you're supposed to be able to spend your money probably on this this is a good response by the way pull the workers away immediately while you're dealing with this crap that's really nice I'm a little bit weak here as well like you should you should be looking maybe to do something there could have maybe chased but it's tricky as well one disruptor shows up you lose your entire army that is something that that can be difficult to deal with so a nice pickup I thought he had Vikings as well though yeah these these bad boys probably should have been sent there a while ago to deal with that prism they will be going there right Now, your Ford base doesn't really have a lot of workers. I feel like you haven't been producing workers as well. I have to admit that. Your map vision ever since you kind of have been pushed back has completely decreased. And this is one of the things that I think sets good Terrans apart from Fantastic Terrans. It's that Fantastic Terrans always find a way back on the map to either get that map control or to deny their opponent's map vision. And very often these two things go hand in hand. This is an extremely risky drop and I'd even consider it. stupid. Like this makes very little sense if you don't know if I have this tower. I didn't have this tower. Yeah, so okay, but this is fine. If you do it like this, it's actually fine. You're going to be going here. The problem is you have no vision on any other side. My army could have been here and you wouldn't have known. You need to send out more marines to check towers, to check the middle area, maybe even something here. And then you can do things like that. Or you need to make an opening with a small harassment group. And once you have that opening and you force defense, So imagine you have two drops all the way going around here, going over here, walking into this place. Then you see me making a defensive reaction. Maybe your other army can start walking over here. But until, like, sending out such a big chunk of your army is just really risky, especially because your planetary isn't even done yet. Like, you really had no clue where my army was or what was happening. The only thing you knew is that there was a zealot here. It is kind of scary, I have to admit. It is kind of scary to more. move out like this. Two drops I would have been happier with. I really would have been. Because that also allows you if my army would have been coming from here, for example, to have another army going here, then maybe you can force a base trade if you can't defend. So a lot of the movement, I'm not the biggest fan of. Do you like these two Vikings there? I wouldn't mind if it's a single Viking. You're going to pull them back. That's annoying, but yeah, it's not the end of the world. And hence, shockwave, still not here. You're still kind of lacking gas, which really is kind of showing in your lack of air units. Another thing that I want to really put some attention on this is the fact that the way that it works for most Terrans, or the way that most Terrans see the game, is that against non-colossi, or non-colossi, you can survive with bio plus ghost, or just bio plus mine kind of wins that. On Stamplers are out, you need ghost, but if it's just Charged Lot Arcon, Immortal or something, you can with bio, marauder, marine, most of it, you're going to be fine. If you have a couple of minds, ghost will make you win that fight way harder. Once Colossi come out, you can survive with Ghost, but you want to start transitioning into Vikings. Okay? So you can, like, you can fight against Colossi with a Max Marauder ghost army, but it's difficult to win a fight unless you're in a very good position. You can most of the time just defend. Attacking into positions is difficult. With Vikings, without having a good position, if you have the correct amount of Vikings against the Colossi army, you will win the fight. Guaranteed. You hit the EMPs, you hit with your Vikings, you're going to be fine. Once disruptors are out, most terrorists like the transition into Liberators, liberators with range. Now, you might be wondering, why are you laying out the entire history of the PVT matchup? It's because you need to be anticipating these moves. Liberators gain a lot from ship weapons upgrades. So even though right now you might not be thinking about disruptors yet or you haven't even seen them yet, this might be your first time, you probably already should have been getting them. You have a lot of minerals in the bank. You should have been mining more gas in order to afford those ship weapon upgrades and perhaps even start considering throwing down a fusion core. Anticipation is key in this matchup. You always want to be a tech switch ahead of your opponent. Right now, even though you had a good position in this game, you've just been tech switches behind. You're still trying to pump out Vikings, well, I'm already transitioning out of Colossi because I'm believing that you should already have the units ready. I'm going into this Rupter. You don't even have liberators on the way yet. This is a fantastic move. Or a fantastic move. This is a fantastic situation for you. I didn't like how the move came to be. But I think the fact that it's here now is very good for you. I really do believe that. And it also forces me back. It's absolutely fantastic. Good job. You know, even though I'm not the greatest fan of how it happened, it happened, and you used it well. You also realized, okay, recall called. Now you move on the map with your second army, but we're seeing an issue here, all of a sudden, aren't we? You're lacking metaphics. Your army is extremely bruised. All of these medevacs are empty, not because you're over stimmed necessarily, even though you might have been a little bit too trigger happy with the stims at times. I've been paying attention to that. But because you're lacking air units. We're 12 minutes into the game. You have lost total four air units, and you're still only on 10 air units, six metaphics for Vikings. You've been in double Starport, but I don't think I've seen a single time where both of these star ports were producing. The fact of the matter is you've just been lacking gas for a very long time in this game, and now even though you aren't, you're still not really producing from that. You're getting your three extra barracks after your fifth base finished while you're starting your sixth base. You're just lacking production for bio units, and you were lacking production for your starport units because you didn't have enough gas. Sorry for that guy, some dogs started going, absolutely bananas in the background we'll have to have a talk with him later tonight all right this is a good move but the problem is it's not going to be a great move because this army is already so damaged so you're never going to be able to really get done what you want like this drop would have been really really sick jesus christ this guy's actually an idiot come on buddy this drop would have been really really sick had it not been that most of these units are already really bruised and you can't heal them up oh this is the f2 of a lifetime as well look that as a thing of beauty upgrade finishes nice good job Kevin we have a drop here as well I don't actually like this type of dropping I on do I understand why are you doing it no not really another stim yeah and we're losing even more meta effects and now because you're losing these meta facts you need to reproduce more meta facts and you're still not getting into the zone where you need to be and that is liberators you should already be having a decent Viking count Like I could switch back into three, four colossi at this point, and it would be really bad for you. You're lucky that I didn't, because, well, let's be real. The brain on this protocol isn't the brightest, but you had a good position, and now you kind of lost that good position. You, within about 20 seconds, look at this. So right now, look at the position we're currently in, okay? You're in a position where you have complete map control. You're going to be up. You can be up a base by getting this one. And you should probably already be, well, first of all, three, three upgrades maybe, getting some extra liberators, things like that. And you can do that because you have map control, okay? I can't move out until I have cannons and batteries up here. And I want to be taking a fifth base. So it's going to be very expensive for me to do that. I don't have that many work. I don't have that much income. I can't really do that. So if you just keep this army on the map, you can transition into an army. that you need. Unless you have 100% sure damage, there's no reason for you to do this. You're giving up your map control with this and you're giving up very, very important metaphics as well. Both of these things at the same time, giving up map control and your air units. That's a mistake, my friend. That really is a mistake. Okay, let's skip through. We already saw this. So this gets semi-cleaned up. Yep, that does get cleaned up. This gets cleaned up. What else do we have here? Now I start moving out. Now all of a sudden I have map control and this would be okay if you already had the units ready to deal with disruptors. Sadly for you, you haven't even considered building a single Liberator yet. You have zero ship weapon upgrades. I'm going to be getting blink DTs at this point because I'm getting ready for the next step. Once Terrans have liberators, it tends to be nice to do I get that shot off? No way, right? That was really close. It tends to be nice to get blink DT so you can snipe planetaries. And in that case, Terrans just need to defend properly and then if they can force a fight it can still be good for them. Now you don't really have anything to chase that already tends to not be possible against disruptors. So I would not recommend doing that, especially not against eight disruptors. With the army you currently have, I would say the only thing you can really do is either go for base trades, try to get map control back, basically, or, well, actually, there's no or. You can't chase this army. You need to force base trades. And ideally, with a couple of liberators here to hold positions, but you don't have that. You haven't taken your fifth base yet, which you probably should have had a while you had map control. Now all of a sudden you don't have map control anymore. So, well, yeah, you can't take your fifth base no more, even though this base tried is best. And now, yeah, you're just going to be stuck defending positions. that you don't even want to be in. Like, you're pretending like I'm a 5.3K Protoss idiot. You're trying to snipe disruptors from the back with an entire army, stimming while you have four Madovacs. Like, welcome to the Big Boy League, man. This don't work no more, all right? What you need to do is you need to start base trading like your life depends on it. Get a sense of reality, okay? I don't lose against a flank. It's not going to happen, okay? More than one thing needs to be happening for that to happen. And it won't. Because I know what these babies are worth. Okay. Okay, this is not the cleanest. Boom. Boom. Yeah. You flank. This is what happens. You were already in a bad position, but you can still make something better out of a bad position. This is kind of if you have like, okay, imagine you want to cook a nice arabatia, arabia, arabia pasta. Okay. delicious pasta, except there's a problem. You don't have any peppers, you don't have tomatoes, and you're lacking the pasta. Really, all you have is water and a little bit of salt and olive oil. Now, what you are doing right now is you're pouring the boiling water over yourself and spraying the olive oil into your own ice, and then you're confused that it didn't taste good. obviously it didn't taste good you didn't even try eating it okay what you should be doing is you should be making olive oil salt water and drink some of that stuff and in that case it would have been base trading far-fetched analogy but I think it lands I do think it lands at this point let's be real you're pretty dead okay you tried well you had a big lead but you didn't manage to leverage it okay that's just the way it is you had momentum at times but you didn't push it. You didn't keep map control. You couldn't control the pace of the game. The other player was faster than you. He was brighter, and that's a low bar to cross, my friend, because I know this guy a little bit. He's not the brightest man in the world. He's not the brightest man in the world. Fifth base going down right now for this Protoss. Your fifth base tries to go down. I hope I actually get this. Yeah, yeah, nice. Nice. That is nice. I mean, you're completely dead. We can talk long about it. We can talk short. about it. We could talk about it for a couple of days, but there's absolutely... This was a nice move, okay? You should have been doing this rather than trying to flank my nine disruptors with your tiny bio army. She's with two metaphax over here, boom, four through the middle, bang, a Liberator queued up on my third base, another Liberator here. Like, I don't have that many cannons in defensive positions for Liberators. That could have created some chaos, but instead you went for the sure play of losing, you know? Sure, the chance was low, but yeah, you made it zero. I gave you maybe 15 to 20%. And you were like, no, let me show you what I can do with that 20%. Boom, threw it down the drain. Out of this world, my friend. Out of this world. You're dead. You're dead. It's just the way to it. Gigi. You're a good man, though. You juggied. I appreciate your work ethic. I think you're a good man, good kid. You know, I think you're absolutely fantastic, but this game, you know, we'll judge you on a couple of things. First of all, leveraging situations or keeping good situations. Having an advantage tends to be, it is possible for everyone, okay? I can get an advantage in a game against Cyril. The problem is, I can't turn that advantage into a win, or I can't keep that advantage. You had the same problem here. Every single time you had an advantage, it felt like you got so nervous that you just threw it out of the window. It's like playing a game of hot potato. Instead of a hot potato, you got like a massive bag filled with dollars and you're like, oh, this is annoying, throw it out. You had the chance and you threw it out. When you have control of the game, you play out the game as it already was intended to be. So what I mean with this is if you have a plan that you start with and your plan is to win the game with liberators or with a 1-1 push and you get an early game advantage, try, the only thing that happens to your plan is that your plan just got better because your opponent's plan got worse. His defense, by definition, got worse. So if your plan already was good, now it's even better. So try to stick to that plan. That way you also have an easy way to evaluate whether that plan works or not, rather than just doing random things. Now every single time you got an advantage by playing well and playing proper, you decided to send four Metavex in here, three in here, and be like, let's see if I can accidentally win a game. Like, that is after Sarah loses his first two lings against me because I found them with my adept. I just pull all my work and just aim off across the map, then get upset when I don't win. No, you still need to play out the game properly. Just because you get an advantage doesn't mean you're entitled to win the game. That's number one. Number two is your control. Your control is not bad, but you seem at times a little bit, naive in that you believe that your opponents are all idiots. And now I can't blame you to think that your opponent is a bit of an idiot if you're playing against a cowboy. But I think I am good enough where I'm not going to get flanked by a massive marauder army. You need to realize where your chances are in a game and you didn't realize that. Trying to flank a nine disruptor army is just no use. Just go for a base rate, really. This is genuine advice. I care about, no, just kidding. But yeah, you should do base trade. It's good advice, do base trade. It's your best opportunity very often. If your opponent just has a way bigger army, don't go for the sure play. If the sure play is a loss, then go for the risky play. If you're winning, go for the sure play. If you're losing, yeah, go for the risky play, of course. And then finally, I do want to say something about your map vision. I think at times your map vision, not only that, but also the map vision that you allowed the opponent to have was a little bit much. You were very often in such a good spot and in a place where you had a little momentum, which tends to be the case against Phoenix Colossi, where Protoss plays very defensive. Terran can establish a network of vision, of having watchtowers, making sure they have two armies on each side of the map. It's very difficult for Protoss to defend these bases and to get any type of vision and to walk across the map. When Toss gets to walk across the map, they tend to be in a good place because the Toss Army tends to work around timings. Like I was talking about earlier, you have that Phoenix Colossite timing. If you don't have enough Vikings, you could just die because you don't have the correct units. So yeah, you're lacking vision. I think you played a good game. You got a nice advantage at times and there were some good moves in there, but all together, my friend, this had nothing to do with imbalance. This had more to do with you sucking. Would you playing a little bit atrocious? Would you being a little bit bad? Yes. You suck. right that's going to be it for today's episode of is it imba or do i suck thanks so much for kuku for sending in the replay much appreciate it and i'll see you all next time for a new video tomorrow bye bye

Dear Harstam, I've written you so many times that I'm starting to feel like Stan from that M&M song, LOL. Let's be frank, Terran Mac is Inba. Demp's Defects, homie. It's actually what it says. I will shout it from the rooftops if I must. So the other day I ran into the A-Taron player ably named Teabag, very indicative of the buttwipping I was about to receive, Winky Face. I fully acknowledge I ain't no awesome pro-pleased. Play, yeah, once again, really what it says, like you, my shameless attempt at flattery. Ha-ha. Build orders are kind of like guidelines for me, like parlay for pirates. But hey, I love the game and want to have fun. That being sad, I had a pretty sweet start. I felt like I scouted well, had good vision, but then the harassment starts. Silly benches are annoying and can cloak. What nonsense is this? But I rallied, even caught a few drops, and took out a few drop ships. and hey, started feeling good about myself. At a few engagements where I feel I traded well, I felt the game was about to be in hand. I even sent a DT run by, that took out a base. Then literally all Mr. Teabag does is make a few tanks, a few doors, and boom, my army is routed. I thought Immortals were a good counter. You referenced that silly infosheet that's in game, and hey, I made those bad boys. Guess what? Didn't freaking matter. My army is wiped out and boom. There goes the dynamite. Game over. Terran Mac is outrageously imba. Thanks DPS is nuts and Thor's when used in combination with them make them impossible to beat. This is literally my 20th letter to you. Don't make me throw my PC off a cliff. Please see reason and agree Terran Mac is imba. Sincerely yours. Stan. Isn't it your biggest fan? Stan. aka sleepless in Seattle. Name MS van G. Race Protoss, league gold. MMR, 2,600. All right. Let's hop into this replay after these balance reports are getting longer and longer. Just because you write more doesn't mean you're more correct. You could have probably tried to summarize a little bit, guys, okay? It's a little bit shorter. There's no need to write me entire essays about why you're. believe with your 2,600 MMR, my Terran is imbalanced. I'm very curious. He said build orders are like guidelines. Now the beauty of guidelines often is that you don't need to completely stick to them, but that you just have to kind of remain close to them. So that is how we are going to be judging MSVenge in this game is seeing how close he will stay with the build order. How close will it be? That's going to be one thing that I'm definitely going to be looking at a little bit. She starts with a low ground wall. Okay, that's interesting. It is a PVT, so it's not really necessary, but it's completely playable. I'm not flaming this. It's completely possible to get a low ground wall, a core before nexus, and just chrono and adapt across the map to deny your opponent's command center. That is a fine opener. Look at that. This guy's even going to go at the correct time. Well, almost the correct time. So usually what I'd say for the cybercourt to go down, I'd say 124 is a good time. 124, 125 the latest. This went down at 131, but it is what it is. You know, you can't always win and gets all the buildings down. We're talking gold here, you know. This is, we're not expecting the highest level. We're not expecting a lot, to be honest. Expectations are low. And yet I have a feeling that our good friend MSMG is going to be able to kind of dive under the bar that we already set at the lowest possible setting. Second piling is coming down. We have a chronobo boost on... Whenever I see a chrono boost on Warpgate, I immediately get suspicious because I don't think in my long time of watching Iyotis replays that I've once seen. a chrono boost on a warp gate that did anything, okay? Let me just remind everyone what a chrono boost actually does. A chrono boost decreases the amount of time in a resource, a research, or in a unit that is building by 10 seconds if it hits the full duration, which means that now a warp in will be 10 seconds faster. This tends to be completely useless because most of the time you're not even going to have a second gateway unit yet. So you're chrono boosting out warp gate for your single gateway, which makes very little sense. Like you're just going to, you just want to warp in a single unit real fast. Makes no sense to me. Second gateway is going down. This built, by the way, I'm going to be honest with you guys. This looks a lot. Well, I'm not sure about the battery, but a lot like. my robotics facility guide. I'm not quite sure what it's called. I think it's called Crazy Colossar or something like that. Very similar build order here. I'm not upset by it. Okay. Now we get to see what the Warpgate research is. Oh look at that. This is just a thing of beauty. Chrono boost the Warpgate research, so it's done 10 seconds faster. Then as the Warpgate research finishes, he starts another stalker. So his first warp gate is actually going to morph, what, a solid 20 seconds after the warp gate finishes, or what, 15 seconds. And thus the Krono was completely useless. It's almost like I can predict what's going to happen in these games these days, because I've seen it so much. I know exactly... Okay, this is not my crazy Colossus guide. Forged Twilight and Forgas. Now we're talking. I do like the observer position, by the way. that's looking tight. Okay, and so usually when you play Forge Twilight, what you want is you want a very heavy mineral army, because you're most likely going to be wanting salads. Just going two-base blink stalker with plus one is not actually good. So you probably want to get maybe like fast blink into charge, and thus you want a faster third base rather than getting more gases. Unless you're rushing storm or Robo Bay, you don't actually need to get four gases before your third base. or maybe if you play Stargate. So, yeah, okay. Well, wait, no. Why do I say okay? I wasn't expecting the charge, because the charge makes the least sense with this. You'll see that the gas count is going to rise, and he said, aka sleepless in Seattle, which means he's American, which then again explains his affinity for having big amounts of gas that he doesn't really need. Benchie's going to roll in here. This indeed is very annoying. Not the slowest response time. Also wasn't a quick response time, but it wasn't the slowest either. We need to keep in mind that this is Gold League level and that both players are just going to be a little bit slower. Super Battery could have been activated here. Not quite the case, but that's okay. Who could have predicted that the Benchy would fly back? If only we had a way to defend two bases at the same time. by leaving his stalker over here rather than running like a... I like that he did it again. You know he didn't learn from his mistake the first two times, then did it a third time. But luckily for him, the Terran decided not to fly back into the main base. Could have just kept ping-ponging in between the main and the natural again and again. Now this Benji, technically we could react to it, but we could also just idle our units in our natural for a little bit longer. That also makes a little sense. This is the one, this is the most ambitious Benji that I've seen in my life. You're like my friends, yeah, I know they went for workers, but me, I got a pilot and I started working on the gateway as well. I got like 200, 200 shields of that gateway, all right? I did a good job. This isn't even Mac. I've been lied to? Did he... No, okay, it's the correct thing. He said T-Back. He was talking about... Amnita. Am I going wild in the head? Terran Mac is Inba dams the facts, homie. He's playing bio! What? This guy has four barracks. I completely forgot what we were looking at here. What is this, by the way? way, there's another observer, another observer. I wouldn't mind having an observer here for full vision, get a unit at the watchtower for some added vision on as well. There's an awful small amount of things happening this game. I have to admit, Robo Bay finally coming on. Okay, this is, I know that you said that you see build orders at guidelines, but this is more like that if it's said that the guideline is to eat five potatoes a day, then we'll What we kind of mean with that guideline is that it's fine to also eat four potatoes or six potatoes. Okay. What you do instead is you see you need to eat five potatoes a day and put an eggplant in your nose hole, you know? Like try to stuff them. It doesn't make a lot of sense. It's nothing to do with the guideline. This is a completely different thing than anything I have ever seen and hopefully different than anything I will ever see in the future. This is a warning for everyone as well that is looking at this and thinks, oh, that's fun. This looks like a builder. This is not a builder. What is this cannon doing? What is this cannon defending? If you're going to get harassed, it's going to come from here. This cannon is defending, this population of fish. In that case, that's a good cannon. I'm going to let it be. Okay, here you catch a drop ship. You're very proud of that. You started feeling good about yourself. I actually can't believe that I'm looking at a game that is considered Mac. Just because he builds two tanks, doesn't make it Mac. This is bio. He went for Stim. He should have combat shields on the way, yeah. And he has four barracks. And he's getting an armory. Okay, maybe he's going to be going to some BioMack. You hate to see it. When's the last time you built a worker? There's one building here, so about five seconds ago. Well, that question got answered quickly. Very rapidly even. Plus two, thermal lens as well. Okay, I love the vision that you have. I find it very impressive that you have five observers and still manage to miss this move out completely. I feel like we could give you map and you'd still be out of position this entire time. Oh, I mean you're gonna win this fight, that's for sure. The other guy just wasn't even seats with his tanks. Okay. A thousand gas in the bank, as predicted. Who could have thought that taking four gases this fast with an army that doesn't require a lot of gas would get you to float a lot of gas? That really is wild, okay. So you managed to take out a big portion of your opponent's army. You decide, hey, I want to come out a lot of your opponent's army. Hey, I want to counterattack now and do some damage. I kind of feel like you should just win. There's no reinforcements again. So you're building a prism. Now this is absolutely fantastic. What is this? And why weren't they included? I want to see this again. This entire interaction, okay? So let's see. He walks up here, sees a tank. Yes, okay, he has full vision. I keep forgetting he has full vision the entire time. He just can't judge anything, but he actually has full vision. What? I missed that earlier. How did I miss that earlier? Some cannibalism going on. Okay, so he sees everything that there is. Get shelled by a tank and his opponent stims. Then he's like, oh, that is way bigger than I saw just half a second ago. Let me run back. I see my opponent is going back to doing nothing. Let me recall my army. Great sequence. This was a great sequence. I wish there was a second part of this. I kind of want to see. this again but no we can't just keep repeating the same thing over it's like the people that watch like a shrek 12 times it's like come on buddy you know that the ogre is gonna marry the princess now you don't need to watch it again people who do that why do you always watch the same movies don't you want to watch something new every now and then it's like the lifestyle of an 85 year old at that point it makes sense you know it's like you kind of want to watch that you know you enjoy it but when you're 12 or 13 why do kids like doing that. How does that make any sense? Kids should be the one that are constantly exploring new things. They seem to be you know, I remember when I was a kid I watched Peter Pan like eight times. It's not even that good of a movie. It's not like you're finding new things with every watch. You're like, oh, thinkerbell's wearing a pink dress. Like, yeah, no, like it's useless. Okay, now we're going into... This isn't Mac. This is a single factory producing factory units and because your opponent has so little bio unit it looks like mac but this is not mac how are you going to lose this game though you have 2k gas now as Protoss you have this structure called the templar archives which allows you to throw away your gas into a unit that it's extremely good called the arc on oh my god you have so many cannons the cannons will just be able to hold this won't they be at your response time okay robotic facility okay you look at the cannons pull away the workers maybe super battery it no not necessary okay well no super battery but the rest honestly not too bad i'm kind of okay with that okay the problem is is that you have 1800 gas you're not using it your fort base started at the 12 minute mark this a good d t that's not really a run by because it is on the sides but it is a dt attack and i like that you know like I can dig it I can definitely dig it these 3dTs they did a buzzing job get some vision again there's no way you're gonna no actually there is a way you have an 18 second warning but there's no way you're looking at this observer and you're dealing with these drops oh my god this is just like with the benshi do you not understand that if there is a dead space you can fly over it and come out on the other side it's not like it's a black hole where he goes in and he pops out I believe you don't actually pop out of black holes anymore and just dies no that space can begin here and end here and then you can fly back and forth and you have vision of it again how you can how can you have this much vision and be so blind at the same time it's like you get too much stimulation or something like that you know if you know too much too many things happening at the same time. See people that get over entertained, you know, watching a movie, refreshing their Instagram, talking with their sister on the phone at the same time. That's something like that. That's what you do while playing StarCaves. Just constantly looking around the things because you have so much vision. Oh, look at it, vicious. I'd also be kind of, uh, kind of distracted if I saw these fishes. Yeah, cool fishes. Anyway, T-back's moving forward and this is indeed is a massive Mac army. I can't believe that you thought this was Mac. Like immortals are not the counter to this. Well, immortal charge is fine, but I'd say Colossi or disruptor, just your standard army would do even better. You're lacking about what is this? Seven Archons that could be in your army. Let's not forget that. Finally you're going to get vision of your opponent. Five observers again. Five observers and now you get vision. Completely out of position. so you need to run back. By the time you arrive back home, you're already going to have lost your base. Yeah, this is actually the weirdest game I've seen in my life. It actually is. It just doesn't make any sense. Just none of it made any sense. Why is there DTs in your army? Why is there no Templar? Why didn't you morph these into Archons? Why are you still almost winning this fight? Why did you reinforce with 4 DTs? Are you winning? No. The answer is now. Now your opponent is actually playing Mac. Mac bio combination with a raven. This is... I actually have no clue what to say. The weird thing is that I'm not even quite sure what you did wrong specifically. Like it felt like you have some knowledge. It seems like you have a brain. well. Okay, well now I'm not so sure what is this move? It's a run by through your opponent's army. Like basically what you're doing is you played something that resembled a build order for the first two and a half minutes. Then you went and did your own garbage. It's like if you were in like one of these Bob Ross classes, you know, and you start by drawing one three and then you just grab your paint bottle and you just squirt it all out over your paper. you smash your face into it and then you start licking the paper like a complete idiot. I feel like that's kind of what I watched here. Like you started with the tree, okay? The happy little tree is what you started with and you end up licking your painting. Which is not good for you by the way. This is bad for your help, this type of game. If you play more than five games like this a week, I would recommend quitting. I really would because the amount of stress and frustration that you don't only give yourself but other people that have to watch this hot piling heap of garbage is very, very high. I was happy with that insult. All right, well, you're dead. It's time to leave. So we can get to the good part here. G. Now, I think this game deserved more than one G. Your opponent absolutely blasted you. with the weirdest army comp with the weirdest build I've seen in my life. Okay, quick look at the balance for them. What is they say? Mac is broken. Okay, first of all, we're going to make three categories. First is game knowledge. Mac consists of units that mainly come from the factory. This was bio with a factory to supplement into Biomech hybrid. You get an F, a massive. Huge suck. And an F. Two stamps for this one. Your game knowledge is negative. People that know nothing know more than you. Second. Your vision. For your vision, you get a good. Your vision was really good. You had observers all over the map, almost the entire time. You saw everything. I give you a good. Then we have a bonus category. using the vision. For that, I don't even know what stamp to give you. Freaking terrible, god-awful, the worst. Kind of like the worst. Pop, the worst. Actually, the worst use of vision that I've ever seen in my life. Then to end with, your unit composition, you are lacking Archons completely. I don't mind the immortals as much, but if you have some archons here for tanking, it's going to help so, so much. add a couple of zealids in as well, don't get DTs. As a fighting army, a DT is 125 minerals, 125 gas. Instead what you can do is you spend that money on zealads and High Templar. And you morph the High Templar into Arcon. That has really nice synergy. You get a lot of zealots and you get a lot of Archons with that as well, rather than having to build these very expensive DTs that are really only good for harassing. So on that you're also going to get an extremely mediocre, to atrocious stamp. Congratulations, my friend. Altogether, you suck. All right. That's going to be it for today's episode of Is It Inba or Do I Suck? Where once again we have someone who sucked. If you think that you don't suck and that it is indeed imbalanced, be sure to submit a replay in the replay submitting form below. Thanks everyone for watching. I hope you had a great time. I didn't. Bye-bye. Like.

Dear Mr. Flaming Lips, first of all, I want to stress that I am better looking than you, and second of all, Zerg is Imba. These are two claims that I find rather unlikely. The economy they can acquire through larva and in combination with those mega-cheap roaches make them unbeatable. I opened up with a classic D.T. surprise attack. I killed his natural while taking a third myself. After harassing with Arconnes, I saw he had four. basis, so I decided to attack because of my advantage at the start. Even when my disruptor had the most immense hit you could imagine, I lose my whole army. Hit after hit, I take away roaches with the disruptor, but defeat was inevitable. What should I have done better? Is Zurich with roaches imba, or do I suck? Orion. Orion is a master's Protoss player from Europe. Now, first of all, Orion, you really think you're better looking than me? Unlikely, but we can test this at the end, okay? Let's first have a look at your I.O. disclaim. Roaches are mega cheap, is what you said? I agree with that. They're extremely cheap. And you said the Zerg economy made it even better or something. I don't know. I already can't remember your eyes from, I'm too focused on you thinking you're a better-looking. guide on me, which I just find a ridiculous statement. Ridiculous. Opening up with a decent little thing here though, sending out that worker to go block your opponent's natural is something I like to see. It's always good to force your opponent to take their natural on their third base location, makes them drones walk a little bit further, cost them a little bit of eco, obviously also cost the Protols a little bit of eco to get that propout early on the map, but tends to be worth it for the Protoss player. On top of that forces your opponent to split his drones like farther away from each other. So if you're doing something like a glaive attack, it's going to be harder for him to defend his bases. If the Zerg does something like this where they're really keen on actually trying to take their natural and like they're, you know, they're not going anywhere, you should just throw down a pylon. Job well done if you ask me. Yeah. No? You do it. You do it. You do it. You do it. You do a have to go up into the main base? No? Why would you even scout if you're not going to scout? What? How does that even make any sense? That's like going to holiday to check out the airport. What's wrong with you? You went out. You went out. there already check the pool timing you moron good lord now he plays corby for nexus that's absolutely insane this actually now he goes back in sees hey it actually was hatch first with a late pool oh my god my corby for nexus for no reason corby for nexus is really bad against serg um it a fast adapt doesn't do as much as it does against taran and that's really the only advantage as is the fast adept, which means a faster scout and a faster unit to fight of the Reaper. This makes no sense. You rush out your cyber, okay, let me just stress how insane this entire thing was that just happened here, okay? He opens up with Corby for Nexus. In order to do this, you're delaying your second gas, you're cutting off two workers approximately, like you have to cut one of your workers here temporarily, and also because your next is later, you're going to miss about one and a half to two workers because every 12 seconds your Nexus is delayed, your Nexus is just missing a worker because a probe takes 12 seconds to build. You get, you rush out a core at a pretty big cost for Prodos in PVZ. Then look at what you do, okay? The advantage you get from Corby for Nexus is about a 10 second faster core. The entire sequence that Orion goes for here is a thing of beauty. loses the resources of going core before nexus core finishes at 205 which already is impressive because it's supposed to finish at two minutes at a low ground okay maybe 201 i'm fine with that this core is four seconds late already for the core first okay 205 it finishes then he doesn't use the core for at least 10 seconds Exactly 10 seconds. He just waits for the timing where it would finish on a Nexus first and then start his warpgate. This is like getting an insurance for your house. And then when your house burns down, it's just buying a new house and never contacting your insurance. It doesn't make any sense. The only advantage you get is either faster warpgate or a faster adapt. Your adept starts later than my adept starts. How is that even possible? And then to make it all worse, you make up the 10 seconds that you just lost by delaying your warp gate by chrono boosting it immediately. So not only do you waste initial minerals and gas by going on Corby for Nexus, then you don't start your warp gate, but then in order to have your warp gate finish at a timing that it would finish with a Corby for Nexus, you put on a chrono boost. It absolutely beyond me what you're doing here. Absolutely beyond me. Holy crap. I love how you waited, legit, 16 seconds to start an adapt, only then to chrono boost an adapt. A chrono lowers the building time of whatever it is your building by 10 seconds. So you're delaying something so that the chrono boost make sure that it comes out at the same time as it usually would have. is actually just impressive. Okay, Twilight Council. He said it went for a classic DT drop. The worst thing here is, let me tell you, the worst thing here is that for a DT drop, you don't even need a fast warp gate. You don't need a fast warp gate. And the reason for that is because you don't need a lot of gate units out. You're going to be getting two to three gate units. Most of the time you get two actually with DT drop. You can get three if you want. You get two gate units before you warping your DTs. And because your prison makes it to the other side of the map at around 4.30-ish, 432, 431, you're not going to get your warp. You don't need your warp gate done before like 420 or 410. So you can even delay your warp gate, pretend that it's a star gate. Is it possible to maybe also just put the darks right here now that you're showing your opponent everything in the future? Just make it easier. At least if you put your dark shrine here, you won't have any clue what's happening. He's like, ah, there's a dark shrine there. There's no way this guy is such an idiot. You know, it's tricking them, making them believe that there's no way you can be this dumb. But you, my friend, are four minutes in. You're already breaking records. Very impressive. It's going to get supply block as well. 43 out of 46. I'm kidding. What is this? This is Masters League, man. Get a grip, bro. Two probes to build a pilot? I thought they were going to go into the gas and I was going to say, ah nice, he's putting his workers in gas. Teamwork. Very buddy-body. Can do anything by themselves. Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I am a little bit pissy because he thinks he's better looking than me. I'm not going to lie. So I might be going a little bit harder on him than I would usually. But you know, it's a consequence of his actions. Maybe that's the one thing that he should learn in life, is that his poor actions have consequences as well, you know. Yeah, if you start your cybercore 10 seconds earlier, then not do anything with it for 10 seconds and then Kronobo boost it, that sucks. Just like if you send an email to me saying that you're definitely better looking than me, yeah, you're gonna get it. A consequence, mate. You're actually... Nice timing, by the way, on the DTs. Absolute clown. I'm sure you're real glad right now that. you got that cybercore first look at this look at it for 4dd finishes at 5 minutes we're 5 minutes into this game and his timing's already hitting a solid 30 seconds too late impressive very impressive he's not even walking them either oh here we go where are they going oh he thinks the third base is here does he now think that his opponent is on 2 base or what i love this broadcasting to his opponent that there's a prism here very smart This opponent has 31 lings, all of them out of position. Amazing. Gets the spore. His opponent also has a Ford base on the way already. This guy also is one hell of a dude. No spore in the main base. Okay, this game is actually just completely over, like 100% over. There's a nice supply block here at 6262. How long has that been going on? I hope that hamster puts like a timer on that. Just making sure so we know how long he's been supply block on 62. I have a feeling it's going to be rather long. So he walks into here, picks it up. I don't mind him not going into the main base because that can be kind of risky. You can get surroundings from two sides by queens. You don't know what's in the main base. Like you can know there's no spore here. So I'm completely okay with that, honestly. Like, I can tell you, okay, that is fine. Look at 200 energy. That's impressive. 200 energy on the Nexus. Six minutes, 18 seconds. Now, I once made a guide on a DT drop. It's called DT drop guide, I think. And I believe there I had a timing. First of all, my initial timing to hit with the DT drop is at like 4.30. Then my second timing I hit. Is it like an army that has about, I think it's like 115 or 1.15. 10, 120. And let's say 115. I think it's either 110 or 120. So 115, nice in the middle. 115 supply at seven minutes on the other side of the map. I think I might even have plus one, but I also could not have plus one. I can't remember that. Let's see what my good friend Orion manages to do at seven minutes. 88 supply. So that's about 20-ish supply less. No more. It's almost 30 supply less. And that's very good as well. See, this wouldn't have bothered me as much. If he hadn't thought that he was also better looking than me, and if he wasn't masters. If he was just, you know, a platinum player and he's hitting the timings late from builds that are invented already that have been made before. You know what he is? He used to do it yourself, husband. You know, the guy that rather getting a plumber to fix his, I don't know, like his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his, his. sink or whatever, decides that he can just do it himself. Even though he has no skills whatsoever in plumbing, just like Orion has no skills whatsoever in StarCraft 2 or the making of build orders, Orion says, you know what? This Harstam guy with his tutorial videos on YouTube and his explanations of what is optimal, probe saturation, you know, building adapt the moment your cybercore finishes. It's fun and all, but how about I just go, I just mess around a little bit myself. then i hit everything 35 seconds later it's like my friend you don't have to reinvent the wheel it's absolutely not necessary there's people out there for you with higher intelligence and better looks that already made build orders just a fact okay nice speed as well on 17 8 pm it's not bad no i can live with that let's take a look at this uh this arc of harass i remember him mentioning did he mention this arkana i'm gonna i'm just gonna keep towing back to this stupid to the stupid one I say. Arrassing with my Archons, I saw he had 4 base, so I decided to attack because of my advantage in the early game. That's what he said, okay? It's an interesting trigger as well, but I like it. I like it. The thing with 4th bases is, is that a 4th base by itself means nothing. This is a bit like if you imagine you want to know if another country. has nukes and what they have is they have a factory with a sign that says we make nukes here and then you go aha that's a nuclear factory and then you look on the inside and there's nothing there it's just an empty hall that they use for conventions or something like that you know it's a it's a fake to scare the world something maybe north korea could do it's the same very often with ford basis of a Zerg a fort base is only as good as the content of the fort base. In this case, this is actually the third base now. So you've got to treat it like a third base. And you look at this, you see he isn't even saturating his gases yet. Your opponent right now is on 71 workers while you're on 6. No, you're on 71 workers. Well, he's on 68. You're up three workers. You're up in income against Zerg. You're taking a fourth base yourself. And you have an army that is increasing in strength. every second. On top of that you have three upgrades being chrono boosted out right now. I hope at least one of them will finish before you attack. That should be blink most likely. There is zero incentive for you to attack right now. Anything that you're doing that isn't just harass is a waste. Look at this! You know something is a good timing when two upgrades are over 60% done and you just invested in a fort base that hasn't gotten you any return on your investment yet. Very impressive. I also like that you manage to hit three seconds before your blink finishes to really, you know, drive home the point that you absolutely have no clue how upgrades work in this game. Two zealous going, I like this move, this is a good move. Should have also sent like maybe a DT here or two zealots, but sending away two zealots from your main army is good. You had a big hit with a disruptor. But yeah, you attack into the Roach, which is the worst scaling unit in all of StarCraft 2. An army consisting of 200-200 Roach beats nothing. There's no other 200-200 army that Masroaches beat. They get a journey of this Disruptor. Mom, I'm being sent out into the field. I bet you're gonna have a great time. I think so too, Mom. controls me well. Did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it, did it. Kind of got Sarah Carragant here, once again. Aye, aye, this is just, it's immensely sad. Watching you play is immensely sad. It gives me a headache. It actually does. I decided to record a video in the morning for once and you already ruined my entire day. This is... People like you are why I can't record videos in the morning. He's destroying Mahmood for the rest of the day. It's unbelievable. This is a nice run by though. That's a good job. That's a good job. I don't use this one as well. It's the only unit you have after all. Starting at Colossus at this point, I like it. Deciding that a Colossi is better than Disruptors against a Masroach army. This actually is a good run by. It forces him back. I like this a lot. This is the type of of stuff, even when you're behind, can really win your games. Well, not in this case, because you're really dead, but, like, you can really force your opponent back. And if you would have done that earlier, when you still had the, uh, this pace as well, maybe you could have even survived a little bit. I think it might have been possible. It would have been hard, but perhaps possible. Zerg, however, is just my easy-e-moving cross-map. Doesn't give a crap. He's like, oh, man, look at this ugly Protoss. It's like, I don't know that he actually is ugly, but I have a feeling that he might not be the best looking guy. That's probably what the Zurich is thinking right now. No match. What a name as all. It's a good name for StarCraft 2 account. Yeah, you get absolutely blasted here, and you have no chance. Okay? No chance. You did get some big disruptor hits. But you're actually down in resources lost. Imagine having the most cost inefficient unit in the entire game and then being down in resources lost. That's also impressive. all right let's actually let's get let's just get into this guys let's get no before we get into it let's go for the other claim to see whether he is prettier than me or not and we're gonna we're gonna do this by statistical analysis okay we have a couple of factors he's a propros player that tends to put people makes people good looking propros players good looking people okay so he has got that going for himself. He watches harsh them on YouTube. A bit of a downer, you know, it's a minus 10, minus 15%, you know. Protoss naturally 100%, and minus 10% minus 15% or so. He's an idiot, minus 15. He probably doesn't know how to wash his face or shower or use towels or any skincare products whatsoever. So that's another minus 25. So I think a good, a good would be that he's in the top 50, top 60% of pretty people, just mainly because he plays ProDos. And now I found a test online, and I took a picture for it, and we can use this test to determine whether I am prettier or uglier than him. So here we go. Am I pretty or ugly? Face beauty analysis. So we kind of put our face into this oval. I can adjust the eyes later on here. The outright eye, that looks good. Left eye, that is my left eye indeed. We'll put it over here. No wait, more close to the white, somewhere over here. Then we put this here. I think it's a very, it's not even, it's not even one of my greatest pictures, you know? I just snap this picture randomly. I was like, I'm not going to try art. I could do a little picture with some makeup on and all that good jazz. But I'm like, no, I don't need that. You know, I... Oh, natural. I think I'm a good-looking guy. Well, at least better looking than Orion. Get the side of my face. The leftmost point of my face, man, I have a massive hat. The hair line. Forehead is a little bit big. I have to admit it. What's this? I'm looking for the nose. Okay, nose is here. Hop and hop. Jeez, this is one hell of a test. Middle of the mouth. The rightmost point of the mouth. And the leftmost point of the mouth. Now, all need to be is about 55%. And I get 84. So, my friend, first claim, is you prettier than me? I don't think so. 84%. Look at this. Good face shape, normal forehead size, good interocular distance, normal mouth size, small chin and poor face symmetry. Which idiot wrote this? Well, whatever. So yeah, pretty clear to me. Then the second claim, is this imba? You, my friend, hit 30 seconds late with a DT build, which is one of the easiest builds to execute, Especially because you did nothing with your early game adept. So I completely forgot about that. So let's define this in three parts. First of all, your build order. Your build order sucked. It was terrible. Look like you made it yourself. And if you didn't make it yourself, I'd beat up the guy who gave it to you. Awful. Never play it again. Get a real build order. Hit tight. Get actual units out in time. Secondly, your decision making. You scout his 4. base but what you forgot is that you killed his natural location base which was his third base which then became his fourth base which is the base you should have scouted to see if it had any contents what you did right now is you saw a sign that said nuclear factory and just started throwing bombs no my friend you had to stay at home and do nothing just sit back your opponent is messing roaches worst unit in the game you could have won this game with a single void right like you could you could have just continued building disruptors at well. Fantastic. Also, you decided to attack while three of your upgrades weren't done yet. So for that, you get the very rare and unique, ESS, boom, atrocious stamp when it comes to decision making. And last but not least, you're not a very good-looking person. Or at least, not as good-looking as I am. So you get the ugly stamp, pop! Three stamps, all negative. It can only mean one thing, my friend. You suck. Nice. All right. That's going to be it for today's episode of, is it imba or do I suck? And how ugly am I? Thanks everyone for watching. I hope you enjoyed it. If you did, don't forget to subscribe to the YouTube channel. And, yeah, that's it. Like and all this stuff. Thanks so much. Appreciate your time. Bye-bye.
