Hello Captain, I'm an up-in-coming Diamond Zerg showing immense talent. Some of my friends even call me Cyril Jr. However, ProDos is just too imba for me to make it to the big leagues. The 4-Gated Depp with War Prism is just so broken. I don't know how it hasn't been removed from the game yet. Adepts can just teleport around your base on repeat, with seemingly zero cool down. After you finally think you've recovered, the shimmery boys just waltz into your base, wreaking havoc. Immortals are OP versus roaches, and ravagers are just weak. please help Kidder Kit. Alright, Kid or I will refer to you from now as Cerell Junior or Junior. I think Junior is just fine. So the claims here are going to be Forgate Glaive Adept is too good. The shimmery boys, which I assume to be either High Templar or Dark Templars, both of them shimmer a bit, are also too good. Roaches, I mean Immortals are O-P versus Roaches and Revedgers are just weak. Just weak, you guys. So that's four claims right there. I'm going to be able to remember probably a solid 25% of them. So I will be focusing on the claim for now that the Furgate Glave is too powerful. Now, Forgate Glave is a good build. It's a build that has been used a lot in the past few months. I made a guide on it, a couple of months back as well. I absolutely love this build. I think it's a good build order. It puts in a good spot against the Zerg, but there are certain responses from the Zerg, which have been pretty well figured out over time, as is usual, if a new build becomes really popular. And the way to respond to it is, I've alluded to this before, is you stay on a single gas with a crap ton of lings. You get a spine at your third base, and then you get a roach war at some point. They start producing roaches from a single gas. You have a lot of lings, five queens, and once the roaches are out, it becomes pretty easy to actually deal with the adept. So first of all, we're going to check how the response of Kidder Casor Jr. is against this Forgate Clave. And we're also just going to take a look at his unit movement, his overall drone count and his follow-up responses, basically. That's going to be the main goals here. So far, it's looking pretty tight. I mean, he's a diamond player. This looks all fine. He knows how to play the game. His opponent, who almost messed up the build order. It's still messed up the builder. He almost messed it up and then did mess it up in the end. But that's okay. We're not focusing on him for now. And it's actually not the biggest of deals with this build, a complete order of buildings. You can randomize it a bit. So, this first adapt is gonna be too late. I guess this is a Nexus Earth or something. I'm not sure. It doesn't look like it. You just forgot to build an adapt. So our man Jr. gets the scout in, sees the lack of a pylon. I saw the second pilot over here, so he knows the only location for tech could be here. Decides to just let the tech be, what it is, goes into the main with four adepts or four lings and no defense. Decides to just walk out again. Yeah, he should be scouting. Okay, yeah. He could have done this with a single or with two lings earlier, but I mean, this is kind of okay as well, right? He gets the information in the end. He knows it's the Twilight Council. There's no about the robot follow, but I think he can kind of guess it. So the best response here would be is to drone up to 44, 45 maybe in this case, because everything seems a little bit late from the toss side. Then just start producing lings, five queens, roaches, you got your one guess. Okay, well, this is a mistake. But if you have the natural on the natural rather than it being blocked, this actually is kind of okay as well. I don't even mind this too much. It's poor. I am not entirely sure of. he saw the complete lack of a dark shrine at like 3.30. Dark shrine takes 71 seconds, which it hadn't even been built yet, if it ever is going to be built. So that's at least, what, 70 seconds, would be like 4.40 when your spores need to finish, not even adding the warp in time and then walking. So like at five minutes. So this spore is way too fast. This port is way too fast. By a solid 30 seconds and it's a small thing, but it's still a detail that does matter. How the hell did this guy get here? Wait what? Is there a prison? How did he get here? There's no walls? Now I'm curious. This is all fully walled? This is fully walled? There's no prison? What the hell? This is way more interesting than the rest of the replay. Let's go back. I want to see this. The rest of the replay can suck it honestly. What magic trick did this guy use? Where's your stalker mate? Oh, he warped it! Well, it's slightly anticlimactic. I'm not gonna lie. He really got me good for a second. I didn't know this could reach. That's ridiculous. Alright, sorry. I just absolutely mesmerized by this stalker. I thought I saw a magic trick happen in front of my eyes. I once had a guy do this with rope while I was eating at the Ike. with my parents. When I was like seven or eight, this guy had many tricks with the rope and he did make it go together and go apart. And I remember it, wait, what is this? Oh, there we go. And I remember just being extremely mesmerized by how to do it and he just wouldn't tell me this guy. Like, why would he come up to my table, show me all these tricks and don't tell me how to do it? That's a weird flex as that to do. That's a problem with magicians. I got a guy in high school with it as well. Came up to me a deck of cards and then start doing tricks and not explain. how they were like I didn't ask for this but at least if you're gonna trick me explain to me how he did it absolutely ridiculous magicians I love man this stalker is great I love this this is a big play now remember what I said about the proper response to this was going to be single gas roaches even without a layer but honestly this hits so late that I don't even mind that he has a layer but there's no lings he only has four roaches at the six minute mark. He has no clue where the prism is coming from exactly. So he needs to respond now. Eight adepts in your base. So a couple of things that are wise to do is probably to pull away the drones. Even if it's only temporary, yeah, this is a good move. Yeah, this is exactly it. You don't even send them here, you just send them to the site. And then once the adept shade out, it's all good. You see the adapt shade, you split off half of your army to go there. Otherwise, If you send away your whole... He's attacking the pool. I'm not a massive fan of that move, but it is okay. So so far the defense hasn't been brilliant, but it hasn't been too bad either, right? We mainly see some poor control here from the Toss as well who is focusing too much on roaches. Okay, yeah, come on guys. Let's keep our head in the game. Let's keep our heading in the game. Yeah, there come the roaches. You split up your army, perhaps? No? Just keep... keep running in one ball. All right. We're just going to be following the roaches. I mean we'll see the worker count go down. So. Here, here. No. Guys, hello? Are we paying attention as well? Don't split up. Yes. Oh, oh, oh, here come. Oh, gone again. Oh, come on, guys. Do the other side. Right now we have 21 roaches against seven adepts, perhaps a 7-7 split in every base or just half splits. One following the shades. Oh, there we go. We're following the shades. Good. job guys come on come on come on here we see follows the shades for the first time kills all the adeps I wonder if you realized that this was the that this was the trick you know that perhaps the movement wasn't too brilliant here or do you think we're gonna see more of the the previous movement where he moves his entire blob of roaches to one side that's like oh crap he shaded to the other again here once again we have the roaches oh one massive blob here we go guys cancel no finishes If only there was a way to deal with four adepts if you have 30 roaches. Like my friend, my grandma has more fluid movement than you have and she's 90. Like just split your units. It's really not that difficult. It really is not that difficult. Adepts finally do get semi cleaned up. Except for these four, I guess. Here comes Roachman again. He's still building drones, by the way. It's a fifth base or fourth base already. Plus one is done. Like, please cancel, yeah. Hmm. Hmm. What is he doing? He thinks they're in the prism. Oh no. This is like a guy getting tricked by the coin behind their ear for the 20th time in a row. I got a freaking coinette. He keeps feeling his ears again and again. And the magician isn't sure if he's still like, if the guy he's talked to is an actual idiot or if he's the one being tricked. It's like this guy with the adepts, like I know he has 35, like he's 37 roaches and I have five adepts. Like does he not know that the coin is behind his hair? Like it's just in my hand and then I pull it away. They're like, man, must have so many coins behind my hair. No, my friend. Like, imagine being a drone and these are the guys in charge of defending you. You're working your entire life, mining minerals. Just once in your life, you want something like, this guy is absolutely pooping his plans. He's seen all his brothers die while the guards just stood there, like looking around where the shades went this time. Like, just split guys where with 40, like, It can't be this hard. These are the absolute stormtroopers of this game already. Like they don't hit a single shot. He's still not in a terrible spot. Like he needs to do some damage now, but he has plus one. He's up like 30 army supply. There's nothing here for the Tulse who already is taking a forward base as well. Like this game is completely over, actually. Yeah, this is actually a game. I was supposed to desert. yeah this is i mean in okay in so i guess in theory this is his game right he's up 60 army supply and upgrade this base is completely undefended this base is completely undefended this base there's an immortal and a war pin it's sometimes a bit tricky to get into to to walk up into ramps like this so i'd actually suggest killing all the workers for free like if you think of the rewards at the end of the trip here right so basically here, this isn't too difficult to break, but let's make it a bit extreme. So here you have, you have climbing Mount Everest. And at the top of Mount Everest, there is a suitcase with $100. And the other thing is, like, you need to walk to the park. And not even to the park. You need to think about walking to the park. And there's a suitcase with $150. And this guy decided to climb Mount Everest. It's like, I'm not sure if that's the play, my friend. Like, I'm, I'm actually, not sure if that's the play. Well, I know that's not the play. So you lose all of his roaches. He did manage to equal up the worker count not because he killed workers, but just because he's been building drones. It's building an infestation pit as well. He decides that plus two perhaps isn't necessary as... Is plus one finished like a sort of four minutes ago? I love the oversaturation as all. That's a big play. They work harder when they're together, guys. them drones okay prism falls up 60 army supply still so perhaps oh the ravagers are out and here okay shivory boys are gonna be dark shrines I guess or the dark templar dark shrines four dark shrines on the ravagers just moving across the map uncontested I'm not gonna I don't yeah no roaches with it just ravagers I love it This is the first time he split his army when he's attacking. It's brilliant. Who attacks with 11 revergers and leaves 23 roaches at home to defend against nothing? He just literally gifted his opponent like 2,200 resources. Like here you go my friend. I guess he's not going to lose all of them. This is actually the sick... What? That was a beautiful move. I love that. Guys, we've escaped. Alright, let's go back. Oh man, if this guy was in prison break, the show would be way worse. We made it out of the prison guys and then he just knocks on the front door again. Can I be let in? Oh no. Oh, that would be a terrible show. Junior, what are you doing here? Wait, did you... Did you just attack your own roach? So some high-level cannibalism? Okay, this guy, what's this guy doing? Hi, Chief. It's my soul mate. There he goes, turns around. Um, where was I with my brain? I had a great analogy coming. It's okay, it'll come back later. Plus two finally on the way. Builds a bainling nest. No upgrades for bainlings, though. workers, 1800 in the bank, up 60 supply. So even though his entire early game was executed by someone who seems to have a single-digit IQ, he still is in a pretty decent spot. Oh yeah, I was wondering who his friends are and how they think he is Cyril Jr. Like if this guy is Cyril, then, like I have no clue what I'm going to be but I'm a lot better than this guy with my assert. What is this movement? He just walks through immortals. The recall? To the 4th. Oh, to defend. Okay, yeah, I like that. That was a good move. Yeah, that was not a bad move. So what do we have here? Yeah, just entire... I mean, Immortals, I'm sure, are extremely strong if you never attack them. Like, he actually has doubled the army supply. I'm not saying, you know, I think he actually could win if he just fought with his entire army against the entire army of the other guy. The thing is, he never seems to do that. He didn't split one time in the early game, and now that he doesn't need to split anymore, he keeps, like, only standing in half his army and just move commanding through immortals, which is absolutely bonkers to me. I don't even understand why he would do that. Like, in what world is that a good play? He's still maxed. He's transitioning now. Plus three could start. He's on Hive, right? Yeah. New Stage with Hive. Lurker Dan. Sixty-one workers. Or 63. I mean, he could build a couple more, but he could also just fight for once. Like, the thing with roaches, they get so much worse, right? After a while and you just need to use them. Like, the moment you hit maxed or you hit a good power spike, like you just got to start using them. Like, you can multitask. There's no defenses here. You can send three. here, three here and then your main army kills this base. Or you could walk up a tiny ramp without any vision, luckily managed to get up and then start fighting into immortals. Like this actually could be a pretty decent fight. The way you want to be fighting this is you want to be stutter stepping forward to kill immortals. What you don't want to be doing is right-clicking this while there's a bunch of immortals on the right side. Or attacking with a what is this move? Oye, there's 12 detees, let me just warp all my units into reverber so they can't fight anymore. Oh no. Oh no. The glimmery boys, the shimmery boys are just wreaking havoc in my bases. The adepts destroyed him, the immortal's own roaches. And then he doesn't have detection. No detection. He still has the spores from early on. Sport was built at the three minute mark. These sports are like the guys that comment first in the YouTube section. I know there's a couple of you do every single time. I absolutely love it. And spores are the same. These are your soul brothers friends. You guys saying first. The best part is there's going to be a couple of guys in this video saying first and they're going to hear this later on. They're going to feel a little bit ashamed of what they did. That's okay. I'm glad you are. Like this absolutely has to be one of the worst losses and the thing that pisses me of is is if you think back of what he said is he said that Glaive adepts and then Immortals was it? Oh no no Gigi no Gigi no Gigi Oh no, a rookie mistake. Cyril Jr. without the Gigi. I see adepts can just teleport. Shimry boys just waltz into your base. Immortals are OP versus roaches and ravagers are just weak. All right. This guy, imagine you have these people that work for the firefighters. And they have to investigate why a fire started. If Aram and Cyril Jr. here was one of those guys. like the fire inspectors, we would be in for one hell of a rough time, honestly. Like, he'd find like a handful of mattress and a can full of gas. And you'd be like, huh, perhaps it started with the microwave. It's like, mate. Like, this is arson, like this, the guy is over there. He's like two cans of gas sneaking up. It's like, yeah, I think we should definitely investigate like this, this weird looking sandwich here. It might have caught fire in the oven or something. and I say, mate, that's not the reason. Like, the reason you lost is not the glaver death. Like, you have no clue. Like, the reason you lost, hey, you move like an idiot and you never split your roaches. Why? Why? Why don't you just split your roaches for once in your life? You only start splitting your army. Once you're up 70 army supply, you could just right-click probably his nexus and kill it. You went into his natural when his third was completely open, his fort was completely open, and his army supply literally consisted of an immortal and four stalkers he just worked in it was like 12 like five stalkers you just maybe had like a salad somewhere or prison I don't care like it's actually insane the opportunity you had to win this game were so big for the entirety of the game even though you lost 35 workers duel but seemed to be like 10 adepts while you had 35 roachers like I was going to complain about your build order being bad and it is bad like it sucks I already give you that and then on top of that you still had enough units to deal with his pressure. He had 37 roaches to deal with seven adepts. And you managed to always be at the base where he wasn't. Like, you could literally hold position 10 roaches in each mineral line, and it would have been fine. Like, that's not a way to defend this, but it still would have been better than whatever abomination of a defense you just did. Then to follow up, you never scouted, like not once. You had no clue what he was doing. you're just, and you kept building rogers and raverages. You were floating like 4K resources. You forgot your plus two. You never had an overseer with your army. And then in the heat of the moment, as you were getting killed by DTs, you morph your entire Roach army into ravagers. And then you left without GG. Because this somehow was in balance, man. This is nothing to do with imbalance. You're just ultra bad. Oh wait. You suck. I forget. up the premise of the show for a second. Like, the things you've done to my brain here is like, incomprehensible. I have no clue what happened, but I have difficulty thinking normal thoughts. If this lingers for the rest of the day, like I'm, you're in trouble, my friend, you're in trouble. I'm seeing you in court. Like, this is actual brain damage you caused to me. And you didn't even have to be in the same room. Like, I absolutely pity the people right around you. your friends your family man that must be rough what a roast what a roast and what a time to hit that like button right now don't forget to smash it or uh johnny recco will come and build spines in your natural thanks everyone for watching i hope you did enjoy it don't forget to hit that subscribe button up there there more videos in the boxes that my editor made the time some time ago that's cool see you all next time bye bye I'm


DIVING into the IMBA Tank Push | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck

We didn't know yet but let's be honest; The Beatles already predicted the unfairness of tank pushes on this map with their classic song Yellow Submarine. I mean, what else would they have meant? So crash your submarine right into the like button right now and use the subscribe button as a lifebuoy so that Pamela Anderson can fish you out of the throbbing cold water right now!

Hi Kevin, I have something a bit different for you today. We already know that Terran is in balance, so no need to beat the dead horse on that one. But, I believe the map submarine is even more imbalanced. The insane short rush distance, super open third base with a tiny ramp to high ground, I've only gotten two base pushed on this map. Now this guy decides to push with five tanks off two base and a crazy amount of bio. How is it possible on this map to hold such a push when I know it's coming, but he can arrive instantly and set up an insane position. I got Arconnes and Charged Lot out quickly for the push, but it just wasn't enough. Master 1, 5K MMR, N-A server. Thanks, Lone Wanderer. And here we are in the game. With my friend, Lone Wanderer. All right, Lone Wanderer. Now, let's have a look. So you already assume, you assumed that Terran is overpowered. I can live with that, you know, for now. We're just going to assume what you said. And then afterwards you say that the map is broken. So you say the third base. What did you say exactly about the third base? Third base with a tiny ramp to high ground. I mean, this isn't really that tiny, but... I think he's taking the wrong third guys. Okay, so this is not the right map to take because, well, there's an insane high ground with a ramp there. This base is way easier to keep. I'm not even sure how he thought that this was the correct third base, but that's irrelevant for now as we're just going to have a look at his opener, see what he does exactly. what he does exactly. And then from there and now, we'll see if, A, if Terran is overpowered and B, if tank pushes are too good on this map. Submarines are a difficult map to play. I'll give him that. I don't like it too much against Terran myself. I still think it's better than some of the maps, but it really, it could be worse, honestly. So we see him building one too many probes. You're supposed to get 20 Cybercore, 20 Nexus, 20 pylon, and you piss off back with your probe. You start a probe and then a simulator at 21. Now it's going to happen is he's going to build a pylon probe while you forgets this probe and then you're supposed to build an assimilator after but Yeah, I don't know it's not it's not great if you have your cybercore in time. You're gonna get a small supply look in this case, but I don't think he had a cybercore on time so perhaps it's fine No, cybercor was a bit late. It's okay for now. I can live with it. He opens with stalker Usually you go into warpgate straight away because you're not playing Stargate if you open stalker, but I guess maybe he forgot. I don't know. We're not going to be too nitpick. Even though this guy is pretty good, right? Masters 1, I think he said, 5K MMR. That's high level stuff, it's high level stuff. No, it's a Twilight. Okay, then in that case he definitely should have started his word bit. That's actually a very big error. He starts scouting around because he saw a full wall. I appreciate that he's doing that. I think it's definitely a good call. His opponent is opening Marine. into fast factory reactor more Marines. That's nice. I can't live with that. For how safe he is with scouting around. He's really not that safe with his unit movement. I mean, if like a Reaper comes by at this point, he doesn't have a second unit, still no start on the Warpade. That's actually really quite bad. If he gets blinked before Warped, I'm gonna be real upset. So he gets a second gateway. That's a good timing for a second gateway. He chronobo boosted the third unit. You never have to do that, honestly. He also sees the second gateway. also sees the CC timing, etc. So he's going to be completely fine. He gets a robo. So this means either DT drop or it means Robo and then blink could be the four gate if he hadn't forgotten Whartgate. We can also just be three-gate blink honestly. Okay. So he gets Robo and blink before Warpgate. I'm not going to be too mad about him forgetting WarpGate, right? Mistakes happen and and that's just that's just something, you know, that just that happens. Mistakes happen. That's it, guys. That's it. Leave him alone. He tries his best. He's 5K MMR on America. So he gets a third gas, no fourth gas, indicating then he's going to take a fast third base. I guess over here. It's important when you play this build that you get very fast observes and you use one chronobo boost on the first observer. Second observer stays at home. I even like to get one battery in one of the bases in case you're playing against Benchy, especially if they play either gas first or barracks first Marine. That means there are any kind of tech is going to be a little bit. bit faster. He's not chrono boosting this. Third base goes down, so he's going to be going into charge slots behind this. The third gate is on the way. Where? Over here. And he has started his warp gate at this point. So him actually missing the warp gate in this case is not going to be that big of a deal because he's playing against banshees. Still hasn't chrono boosted the second or supply block. It's a little of a nasty supply block, honestly. It's not that nice. Yeah, it's not great. We see... What's the opponent actually doing? Opponent, well, he was going to do a five tank push, if I recall correctly, is what I meant. Now, Benji is coming in, is going to get spotted by this pilot, so... Should not be too much of an issue to deal with, right? Observer could just come into position. Where are the... I don't think he saw it. Okay, then this is really going to suck. Robo Bay. Okay, so this Benchie is doing a lot of damage, which that's really bad already. This is why I usually save one battery. What? Why would he... I didn't have energy here. Okay, I can live with it. He probably also could have just started an observer and be done already, but... What was it? Nine kills. Nine kills on the Benchie. Now, the reason this... me off this robo bay is because now he's not playing a proper build order anymore. Whenever you play robo bay you need to take four gas before third base and get a robo bay. Otherwise you just can't afford all of this. All right, this is a bit. So the reason why it's important to follow build orders properly is because otherwise bad things happen. Like he's just not going to have enough gas for any of this basically. His Colossus is going to start way too late against a regular three racks, he would have died as well. Usually you're supposed to have two colossi against that. He's barely going to have one. Now this is a bit like imagine you're a cook, okay, and you're going to make a tomato sauce for your pasta. So you boil the water, you put in the spaghetti, start chopping up the garlic and stuff, you know, your onions, maybe a carrot, like a stick of celery, whatever. You throw it all in there. And don't forget making some tomato based sauce, right? You fry it a bit. And then instead of using the tomato, you use horse poop so you throw in the horse poop you know put everything together you you spin the thing you know to make it all real small and then you serve it to your family your family goes what the hell is this is well it's tomato sauce it's like no that is not tomato sauce what you're doing here is not blink Robo Bay this is horse poop mixed with garlic my friend that is the real issue that we're having right here because you're not gonna have enough enough gas. Like, if you're following a build order, you need to follow it properly. You can just use some of the things that you think might be good. Like, if you're following someone else's build order, your thoughts are pretty irrelevant. You're just going to be using that until you're familiar with the build order, and then you can start thinking about changing things. You're not going to be changing how much gas you need because you're always going to need more gas. You can't afford anything, dude. Like, you're struggling to get a first colossi out. You can't even afford thermal lens yet. Your first colossal, usually a three-rex push, hits at 6.30. 6.30. You have 7 units. He has 21 Marines. This is nothing to do with the map. You could be playing on Earth, and this guy could be playing on the moon. And he would still be in time to kill you, because you just have absolutely nothing. It's just... You also took the wrong third base. I knew that after I read your email, obviously. Like, how is this possible, dude? Like, you have no units. You just build nothing. thing. Oh, press the wrong button. I'm back. Oh. I'm gonna keep this in. Armour, charge. A cannon because, okay, like, look, I love cannons. Don't get me wrong. I think they're great against mind drops and all of that. But you just scouted a dude building like five tanks, right? You saw it with your observer. Like, you know he's on two base for now. Like, like, you're, you know, he's on two base for now. Like, your priority is not getting cannons. Your priority is getting more than three units out in the next five minutes. Like the first seven minutes haven't been too hot, my friend. Like the next seven better be something for real. I actually, I didn't even completely mind this. You know, there's not that many marauders. If you know how to guide, if you have gas, well you have gas now, but if you had gas at the time for thermal land, this is not a move, I think. I can think he can just kill you. But no, no, okay, he's just going to set up his blue. position. You have vision over here. You might want to keep the vision before we go into an engagement, right? So you see kind of where the tanks are positioned. Now, what you're doing here is, first of all, you need to get thermal lens. It's very important with this build order. I like this flank, though. This is a good flank. You might want to sync it up with the rest of your arm, though. Hey, you'll get two things, but this is not supposed to happen, man. You got to be kidding me. You're lucky this guy. I wasn't paying attention. I would have thanked you for this move. No thermal lens yet. You keep your observer here. You think that having detection around your colossal is going to be more important than seeing his army move with my friend. I don't think so. You actually had a decent hold despite everything. Not because you did anything right, but just, you know, sometimes even clowns get lucky. It is where, you know, the gambler wins the jackpot or something like that. You know, it was a bad decision to go gamble, but you won. like it's some weird type of fallacy I think not sure which one you guys in the comments can figure it out now no vision whatsoever what's happening you don't even know if he has a third base or not just casually taking a fort I don't mind you taking this fourth base by the way because then you can transfer your workers away from here you don't have to deal with this position anymore okay so you meet them in the middle randomly you have no vision you get shelled down lose two colossi for free lose three Closai for free. And this is it. Do you send me a 9 minute replay? I really should start checking how long replays are. Oh no. Four tanks in position. Maybe this guy just sits back for a bit. You can get a game out of this. So you start a Colossi or... He was not on 2 base. You told me he was on 2 base. I was expecting a 5 wrecks, my friend. This guy is just macro. He's getting plus 2 and everything. Just doing a couple of pushes here and there. And you're down 40s play. This is one hell of an engagement. Yeah. up the ramp in a choke. I'm confused who led you in Grand, or in the Masters One League, my friend. I feel like we should keep a guy at the gate, just like they do what happened, you know, so we have someone to blame if someone like you get let in. Like, holy crap dude. This is very, very impressive. You still have absolutely no vision. Okay, you have a little bit of vision of his army now. for once. Like you'd be, no, are we gonna go? No vision of where the tanks are. No, just going. It's working out. I absolutely hate that this is working out because, okay, this makes me happy then that he's gonna do a drop here. That's good. What you're doing here, imagine, imagine you were a soldier in the army and I'm the general. And after a while I'd get a call. general I have good news and bad news the good news is I know where the enemy is the bad news is in order to figure it out I had to get shot like the way you're figuring out where your opponent is is by rushing into an area then you meet them you go like ah okay his army is here now I have to decide whether I actually want the fight or not most of the time it's already too late you're like seven tank shots um you're already in the fight no no real decision making beforehand just oh oh crap I guess I guess we're fighting now. Some casual chilling here. I mean, there's actually no hurry for you to do anything anymore. Despite all your shortcomings, you actually managed to get into a game somewhat. Like, you're still behind, or well, you're still, you're behind now. I'm not a massive fan of this attack, though. Into a siege position. Once again, you do the same thing, you know. You get shot in there. I think you're like oh I guess I should have been here you just like 15 supply they realize it probably wasn't the fight to take then we have I mean you know four base it is I you're in trouble man you're gonna need disruptors or something at this point you're gonna need secondary secondary tech you're gonna need to start harassing with Zellats you're gonna need some damn vision on the map my dude look at this move so I I have I we almost missed I almost missed this though we've been so sad so this guy so first of all we have this move right he pulls back loses 20 supply we've seen this then you see this single marauder on the left side have HP 1-1 upgrades zero vision on the map okay we have we have some vision here what does our hero decide to do stances his entire army to the left side entire Sorry, look at the vision, look at the vision. No clue what's going on. Pompiom. Kills the marauder, moves back over here. Still no clue if the opponent is siege here at this point. Is there a drop coming here? Is there a four drop coming here? Like, no clue. As I was ever just moves across the map again. No clue if there's a run by. I think, man, this guy is absolutely loving life. Hey, that's an interesting EMP. And this is a good run by. I appreciate that. I actually do appreciate that. That's good stuff, dude. I'm proud of you for that. This part, I'm not quite sure if Proud covers the load here, right? Lose your entire army for it feels like the fifth time this game. There's a look like seven Colossus. Five Colosses have gone down. How can you be losing traits if you're playing Colossus? That's not really a thing, usually, my friends. That's really impressive. I am... I'm truly impressed, yeah. You can say that. You definitely can say that. It's a good run by. He gets a couple of worker kills. Problem being, of course, that he has no units on the other side of the map. He's fighting against two-two upgrades, while he himself only has plus one armor. And I think this is going to be it. This was a good replay, though, man. I love it. Masters 1, 1 America. That's just absolutely great. Absolutely. I can really master's one. That's very impressive. I guess our hero is going to stay in front. a bit longer here he's down a hundred supply me might as well try right still has the annoying base with the tiny ramp up didn't think of clearing the rocks either you know after being pushed here seven times with that these rocks they you know might might come in handy later on in the game haven't really come in handy but definitely would have been handy to kill those big mulege i don't we're just going to skip through this a bit like he's he's really just wasting our time at this point we we don't want that long one there You've already wasted my brain power, you've made me mad, and now here you are wasting my time as well. I am standing for it. So a couple of EMPs, good Viking Shultz, and Gigi gets caught. Now, quick look at the email once again, right? The map is in balance. The map is difficult against Darren, I agree, but not because the third base is hard to hold. You just took the wrong third base. Your build order was worse poop. Let's not forget about that. your micro was interesting your vision was non-existent your unit movement was I'm sure interesting it's quite as rare I haven't seen that before the way you decide to move across the map the the confidence you had in your army despite it being terrible I also find something that was great you know it's kind of as if you would go to the auction house for like high level art and you show like a macaroni painting you know you had to glue the the macaroni's on the paper i remember doing that when i was in elementary school that's kind of what your army movement felt like i just honestly like the map really isn't like it's bad but it's not it's not imbalanced um and Terran also isn't imbalance my friend you just really really really suck all right that's going to be it for today if you did like this episode don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel up here I have other things up there and more over here which you can all click so thank you very much see you all next time bye


Is It IMBA or does he CHEAT?! | Is it Imba Or Do I Suck

Today we have a special DOUBLE accusation since this Zerg might be either imba or a dirty cheater.  If you don't smash like real fast I'll Call the Karak-riding anti-cheat police and they will blast your fridge like it wasn't even there in the first place.

Hi Harsden, I'm a Diamond 3 Terran player. Today I played versus a platinum Zerg player. No matter where I moved on the map, the Zerg army was always able to find me. And I wasn't able to harass his bases due to this. I was ahead on upgrade, but this Zerg player was able to shut me down completely. No matter what I tried, the Zerg's ability to gather information is too easy and overpowered. Either that or the Zerg player was cheating. And I accused him of this in game due to frustration. Is this player cheating? If not, I believe this Zirx ability remix, their army, and together information due to decrease red and overlord to be far too easy and overpowered. So the question is it Inba or do I suck? Thank you, Anonke. All right. So is it Inba or do I stop? Welcome back to a new episode. As today, we have a replay from a Terran player who truly believed that not only the Zerg player might be cheating, but also that if he isn't cheating, his race is overpowered. I like that he said that, you know. He's either cheating or his race is overpowered. So if we actually find out that the Zerg is cheating, then his race apparently all of a sudden isn't overpowered. The ability to remix as fast as possible seems completely fine at that point to Anonke. So he is a very interesting way of framing things in his head, but I'm very curious to see. I think part of the frustration as well for Anonke here is that he's a diamond player and he lost to a mere platinum player, right? so it hurts the Evo a little bit and then of course if this guy is a different race then you definitely have to get him so we're going to have a look at the build order that Ananke plays so he plays command center first barracks refinery second depot there's absolutely no need for the second depot when you play command center first I'm not even sure if you should ever build the command center on the high ground. I don't think so. Maybe against the 12th hole, but that's not even a build. You see that the depot did nothing. So he wouldn't have been supply blocked. This is the beauty of the command center first is that you can literally just wait for your command center to finish. It allows either for a faster second gas or just allows you to gather a little more minerals with that first SUV. So factory off position, but I guess I can live with it. This is not really a builder, so I've seen... I've seen build orders before, but this is not one of them. Throws down a mule. CC finishes up. His opponent is playing some... I think this was a pool first with really fast speed, which also is not much of a build order, but... You know, we're here to focus on one man and one man only, and that's Anang Cave. Still has the CC in the main base at this, I've never seen this before. No scout whatsoever. No Reaper, just straight straight to cross. cars and then CC in the main base. I don't even know what this would be good again. So the reason why you'd get the CC in the main base is if there's like a Ling flood or something like that, but there's absolutely no clue what's happening. So you can just keep the CC at least in the natural, you know, there's nothing wrong with that. You use it for extra mine. It's going to be slightly oversaturated now. Factory and barracks should switch over here. and yeah should oh by the way the things we're going to be looking at in this game obviously are the first question is is this Zerg cheating because to me that seems well after reading the email it seems very likely that the Zerg is cheating so we're definitely going to be having a look at what Ultimate is doing in this game and second of all is the ability to remix overpowered from Zirg so we see four buildings going down at the same time here two extra barracks to ebays at the 350 mark, before he gets the units from the star part, which is going to be the Viking. That's not really a thing you do. So a majority of the time, what you'll see is you see fast third command center, after an opener. Like, it is a reactor. Oh, this is not all you're supposed to do, my friend. This is supposed to be a tech lab so you can start stim. So if you get reactor first, in order to get stim and combat shield in time, you're going to need to get two tech labs but in tvz you want as many marines as possible so you get your tech lab so you only need one tech lab and then you get two reactors on the outside barracks so you get more marine production it's denying some scouting so far ultimate has seen the entire base knows exactly what's going on so he has good information due to scouting i i don't think there's any hacking going on yet here i haven't at least i'm not quite aware of it couple of supply blocks perhaps, but hacking not yet. Anonke has done absolutely nothing this game. He left all of his halions at home. And even though he's been keeping his halions at home, he's been getting supply blocked. So it's really quite impressive. He's focusing really, really hard at the double tag lab. This is a classic. This really is a classic. Like, oh, you get Stim and Combat Shield at the same time. But it really limits your marine production going further along in the game as well. Yeah, the problem with what he's doing is he's really focusing on the macro and then he's failing the macro as well, which in that case perhaps it's just, you know, it's time to realize that you're not the greatest player in the world, maybe cheating at nothing to do with it as we are approaching the six minute mark. We're also approaching the thousand mineral mark here in this game. Ding, ding ding ding! Annount K has reached a thousand minerals. Congratulations. You can collect your price of minus 35 mmR in the shop located at the end of the venue. This is the kind of stuff that is an IOTIS classic at this point, right? Player complains about Zerg Remax ability, floats, 1.5k resources at the 6th, what is he doing? Hellions don't shoot up my friend. They don't shoot up. That's a proper Roofing mistake right there. I think he's just actually F2ing around the map to look for overlords. And in his mind, he's doing a great job denying scouting. Oh man, this guy has absolutely no clue what I'm doing. Like, I killed like, how many did he kill you already? I killed three overlords. Like his scouting is going to be terrible. Meanwhile, his opponent actually, all he really needed to see was these three barracks before a third command center and he's going to be pretty fine. We take a look, however, at Anonke's visions. He's the only thing he's aware of is that there is a base at the third location. I'm not even going to say there's a third base because he doesn't know if there's a natural. All he knows is that there's a base at the third location. And you could say, well, it's way harder for Tarrant to Skild, which it might be true, but it's not like Anonke tried. You know, he ran once over here with his helions. Then he was like, oh, there's a queen. Let me just move that back. I don't want to be there no more, guys. I don't want to be there no more. As Anonke is really kicking up the production here a notch. He's going into, I think, seven barracks. That's good to two starts as well. This is kind of solid fourth base is on the way as well. And Creed spread is slowly but surely pushing forward. The good old seven-minute lift towards the third base is also a modern-day classic. Anand-Kastil blissfully unaware of everything that's happening. It's the ostrich approach to Starcraft. If you pretend that there can't be anything happening, then there probably isn't. There's a lot of good examples of this, of course. Back in Wings of Liberty, there was a Swedish jerk player called Forsen, who invented the thing called the Forsen Mutas, where he would ostrich is really hard into the mid game by getting five bases and 10 gas without scouting, without building a Roche Warren, and just praying that the Protoss player wouldn't attack. And if the Protoss player wouldn't attack, this guy was the absolute best Mura player in the world, because he just had like a 45 drone lead and he was always going to win you know and then if you're immortal in dim or he did any type of pressure he would lose the game and he'd flame you so either way he'd never had the responsibility of uh of losing the game on himself you know either he completely out macroed his opponent having way more workers and you know with with good mind games or otherwise he'd just flame you so truly was a win-win for him um don't think he plays the game anymore i haven't seen him around in a while while at least. What we do have is a couple of mutas and these were no force and mutas as our friend Ultimate has been scouting around. He gets two Metavex over here. His upgrades kind of suck though which might be an issue here for Ultimates. There's some decent micro. Quite the opposite of what our friend Ananke is doing here. I'm not sure what these guys are doing. He's having a blast standing over here. Bumpidum. He's dealing with the mutilisk a little bit. He lost a couple of workers, not too many. So I actually think Ananka, even though he scouted absolutely nothing and his macro has been pretty horrific this game, he's still in a playable position, I feel like he has way superior upgrades, his 2-2 is about to finish, while his opponents 1-1 is about the finish. Really the only issues I see is that he's not aware of anything really going on. Upgrade, complete. It's really the kind of guy where his wife tells him that, you know, she's making over hours at the office and she comes home smelling of a different man every night. And Ananki is like, yeah, it makes sense, you know. But there's loads of men working at the office. Every time she goes to the late night office, you make sure to do her makeup, puts on her lipstick. She comes back. Her hair all messed up. And Ananki is like, oh, good work at the office. And right, yeah. Great day at the office. the office. That's her boy Ananka for you right there. Completely unaware of anything that's happening in his life. Except for what he's seeing right in front of him and those are those mutaliskas. We now have a flank coming in which, it's not really a flank, just the entire army about the bum into Ananke's army. You see some nice micro-ing into a position. I'm not sure if that was an attempt to split or what happened that. An interesting fight to say the least. He loses absolutely everything to a couple of banings. And he's done. I mean, he's still had a decent supply, so that's what really gets to me, you know? He has two to upgrades. He's losing a lot of SUVs, but he's actually been doing a decent job compared to his opponent building workers. I actually have some micro coming out of Anante as well, which is the first time I think this game we've seen him do that. just control his units rather than just stimming and standing still. Very, very interesting. 3.3 is about to finish up. 54 more lings on the way here for Ultimate, who... Oh, I completely forgot that we were looking to see if Ultimate was cheating. I mean, I don't think so yet. I've seen nothing that indicates cheating. He took a fight after he saw the Marines move out of position. He's actually been scouting pretty well the entire game. Ultimate hasn't been spending his money too well, but the one thing he's been doing extremely well, has been scouting, he's been completely aware of everything that's happening. His upgrades have been a little bit late. His muta control hasn't been perfect, but you know, really he has been spending a lot of effort into scouting, and Ananka has been spending a lot of effort in walking into corners, just walking into random locations on the map. It's really the wrong thing to do. Spelling after him. Yeah, he's going to lose a lot of SVs once again. He's just, oh, that's a big mine hit. I mean, he does have that going for him. Like, I, it's very, very weird why sometimes people believe that they deserve a win or just anything, when they're really not doing something related towards working to towards that goal. So the main occupation of Ananke here seems to be walking into corners. He walked over here earlier, then he walked here, then he was in the corner over here. And I don't understand how he believes that entitles him to a win. It's a bit as if your job, wait what? A psychic cheat. Fricking abracadabra over here. I was about to have one hell of an analogy. Let me tell you. Imagine your name is Ananka and you have a job. You're an architect. You're supposed to be, your occupation is drawing. I'm not sure architects. They draw and they make buildings and stuff like that. And you want a promotion, which, you know, you've been working at the company for 12 years now. And everyone except for you has been getting promoters. been getting bigger jobs. You're confused as to why you're not getting because after all, the thing that you've been doing to work hard towards that promotion is every day you bring in four different types of coffee and you have a little coffee tasting with all your colleagues and you force them to do it. Hey guys, I got four new coffees every single day for the past 15 years you've been doing it. Every time you have one of these promotion rounds, you go up to the board of directors or there. I've been working really hard. Like I've been bringing coffee like four different types of coffee and the coffee tastings you know and everyone's been loving them and the guys are like what it's like yeah like so i would like to get a promotion it's like well like you mean like two drawings in the past four years like don't you think you should work more towards that's like no no no like the coffee though like i think that's really really important that's like my friend ananka that's not what is how it works you know just walking to the side of the map into a wall does not guarantee you a win what we need from you to do is we need you to control your you need you for once in your life to scout. I mean, literally your opponent could be on two... Always going to my army of creep without vision. You've never moved on creep. You've literally never were on creep. How is he supposed to fight on creep if you never go there? You've got to be kidding me. Overlords? No. It's cheating. How is this possible? He would see them with his meta effects. He's making good points. I mean, if there's one thing Ananka has been doing well this game is making sure that there's no overlords around. Are you seen every corner of the map here, my friend? Catches Ananka out of position again. Once again, completely cut out of position. How is that possible? I mean, if we analyze this situation, really, quickly. We see that Ananka has his army positioned smartly in the middle here, where he's defending nothing. So this base, he's a bit close to it, but it's still vulnerable. This base is extremely vulnerable. The main base is vulnerable to Muras as well. So the three main avenues of attack right now are vulnerable. But in Ananka's brain, it would make more sense for Ultimate to just attack straight here. Like, why doesn't he just walk up the ramp? Well, the explanation for Ananka here is. It's very obvious. It's because this guy isn't. It's an obvious cheat. How else does he always catch his army out of position? Sometimes over here, sometimes over here, sometimes over here. He's always there where his army isn't. Except when he is when his army is. Then he's cheating for finding the army. No matter what Ultimate does, he is cheating. And it shows in every move that he makes. I think we should actually grant Ananka this because I didn't think it was that obvious before, but now I see it. as well guys I mean he always fights off creep which you know that is indicative of cheating for certain reasons which I cannot share here because you know you don't want to give away all your secrets but as a cheater hunter to me this cheater hunter this seems pretty clear cut to me honestly once again rallies straight into his opponent's army like he knows where it is you know what I mean here Gifting him 30 40 lings for free. Would a non-cheater do that? No. I think Ananka figured it out. He's still up by the way. He's absolutely winning this game. 3-3 upgrades against 2-2. There's no Muralis. He has 40 workers against 59. And he's about to drop like 35 mules. So if he wasn't super oversaturated in his main for so long, I actually think this game would long be over already. Oh, we're gonna see some micro here. I'm not quite sure he'd consider that micro, but he moved so much of his units. So it's progress of a kind as well, right? If you compare it to previous fights where I remember this one he just stood still, but now there was some movement. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not, but we at least saw something happen there. He has a mine spread around the map as well. He's still winning, by the way. They literally double the army supply. They actually doubled the army supply. There's no bailings right now. He has nine metaphics and he's better upgrades. The thing is that Ananka doesn't know any of this because the last time he saw anything on the other side of the map was at the four minute mark with four Hallions and then he saw a queen and got scared back to his own base. How many mines does he have 40 mines? He's alright quick prediction here. He's going to clump all of them up and he's going to get killed by two bathings. I don't actually see how he can lose this game honestly. If he spreads the mines, I feel like the mines would just be able to win this as well. It's literally just lings. There's not a single bainling at the moment. There's four on the way. 25 Marines, 9 Madovacs, 3-3 upgrades against 2-2. Like he's absolutely winning. All he needs to do is make sure that the mines participate in the fight. The only way he loses is all of his Marines die. Before he reaches, he overstimped a little bit as well. Three stims. Oh, my. Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm. Oh no. Stim's army four times, his own mind shoot it. Still all in a club, by the way. It's going to cancel this way. He's still in a spot where it... Like, honestly, it's just... just impressive. You could give this to an actual caveman and he'd still be able to win this, I think. Like he's not in a bad spot, guys. He's not in a bad. He still has mules and everything. Like he's mining like a madman. He's a couple of SUVs doing nothing. He could be mining more even. He's gonna pump up like the marine, the mean marine production air. Oh my god, once again ultimate with a run by. Here it triggers the mine, losing only 15 lings per mine. That's something, definitely a map hacker would do. So... Oh, look at this move. Ah, come on, man. This is not a report that. word that. Let me grab the email again. I kind of want to... What did he complain about? No matter where he moved on the map, the Zerg army was always able to find me and I wasn't able to harass his bases due to this? Is he really going to pretend like he was trying to harass anything here? He moved out four aliens at one point. That's literally it. He did nothing else. He was ahead on upgrade. But the Zerg player was able to shut up. me down completely no matter what I tried like guys I moved into four different corners and every single time my army got caught by 35 valings like well only is his cheating his race is broken I don't know my I that you can be serious this this this I the worst for this that I believe this guy is actually serious sometimes I get emails where I'm like alright this this can be serious right the email is too much but this guy in the game flames him as all for cheating so I mean you did absolutely nothing, right? Like, your build order was terrible. You never moved on the map, never cleared any creep, did zero harassment. Yeah, you didn't spend your money. You forgot the micro every single time. Your unit movement was actually the worst. I've seen in a long time. Everything you did, actually just was terrible. So for me, you're going to get two stamps. First of all, you do suck, the standard one. Second of all, you're an idiot for thinking that your opponent act, because this guy definitely wasn't hacking. He just was better than you. I mean, that's, if everything that is better than you is a hacker, that's putting the bar very low, my friend. So two stickers for you. Congratulations.

He Thinks It Is SINGLE PLAYER?! | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck

We get a replay from a player who accidentaly queud up a ladder game and was surprised there was opposition in his game. Lets see how it works out for him in an all new episode of IODIS.

Dear Harstam, I'm a big fan of your YouTube channel and a regular Twitch viewer. Even your knowledge could not guide me to victory in this game though. The Zerg plays extremely saved the whole game, pool first, very late Fort Base, and yet he never falls behind in any way. It is impossible to attack into this play style because they have too many units in the early mid-game, and in the late game there is creep everywhere. I am just not allowed to move my army or expand until I inevitably have to spell out Gigi. Thank you for showing this imbalance to the world. Aki. Welcome to another episode of Is It Inba or do I suck where we have Aki from the... I hope he's from the UK. Or maybe it's just because the letters UK are in there. But for some reason I believe him to be from the UK. The server at least is Europe. So from now on this guy is going to be British. Our boy Aki in the Pickpan. It's, I believe, the clan of PIC, another content created. A lot of the people that send him replays to IOTES have been in the pickpan. They all sucked so far. So I hope Aki might be able to change my mind on everyone in the pick pen. But so far, every single one of them has sucked. So we're going to see an SCV scout. He sees the pool first. Like he said, pool first, late fort base. And yet impossible to attack into this play style, which, you know, those are big claims. Those are big claims. impossible to attack into a play style. Now, it's not very often that I hear something like that, because every playstyle, of course, has its downside. Now, I'm also curious to see what the playstyle of the Zerg is going to be. Like, is it going to be something revolutionary that we have never seen before? Is it just going to be standard link bay muda, hydrabane, perhaps? We'll have to see a couple of lings, of course. We'll be able to shoe this SUV away. Let's have a look at the build order here of our, uh, of Mr. Aki here. he's going to take a fast third command center. On a map like submarine, a lot of the time you'll see a faster second gas around 220. You don't see the straight command center as much. Factory goes down. Yeah, refinery. Makes a lot of sense, honestly. It's such a small map. Roach rushes are quite common. This is one of the better Terran maps, though. So a lot of zergs will actually attack on this with like an early Roachal Inn or that kind of stuff. So Terran needs to be a little bit afraid. perhaps get an early tank, or play Helium Benchie is also fine, of course. Two lings are on the other side of the map already. Reeper stays at home. Wait what? What happened here? So this is something I've never actually seen before. The way you're supposed to play, if you play Barracks Gas, is you play... or Reaper Marine, then Reactor, and then you can just swap the factory, but he went for two marines. I'm not quite sure, but this is not the build order as I know it. It's just a small difference, but just something to keep in mind. First Mew goes down, Starport starts as well as Stim on the way. A little bit of oversaturation in the main and not a lot of scouting info yet here, right? right he doesn't really quite know what he's up against mr. Aki he's going to move out with the first two halions of course afraid of run bys as well as he knows there's lings out on the map already doesn't know quite where they are 30 C should come down soon then we're going to see how many cars it's going to be is going to be four is it going to be six perhaps even eight well he's playing bios so most likely not going to be eight most likely just going to be six cars or four cars actually looks to be four cars and then we'll see a command center go down, followed up by two barracks, most likely. SCV production looking solid indeed. As the four aliens keep moving in, 30C comes down. There's quite some creep being spread already. Nothing really has been killed so far, two tumors. Just a very standard game, honestly, for a start. Viking starts working at things and we have a overlord. We have an overlord scout coming in for Della Beta. A bit of a supply block. Well, not a bit of a supply block. This is a big supply block. This kind of thing actually matters. This is a full supply block is what I like to call it. As he's full supply block. He also loses two palliants. But that won't actually get him out of the supply block. He's still pretty supply blocked. You see his SUVs in building. So you should have had a couple of more SUVs already. Like the full supply block is basically when you only start the depots. after you've gotten supply blocks. So you hear the we need more supply and then you go like, oh crap, we need to build deepos rather than the anticipation. So that's going to cost you most of the time in SCV and a half, right? Every single time that happens. So we could have had a little more workers already. And we see double eBay's on the way, no worker production on the natural starting at 520. I think we should run a timer for how long CCs don't build SEVs here because that's actually kind of a big deal. feel like he might have missed some earlier as well. Main also not building so that doubles up the timer twice the speed right now. E-Bes are starting. I mean, this is the type of thing you see a lot, right? People are confused as to why they can't kill the other guys. Like, oh, he's playing so safe. Well, you're not playing safe, you're just macro and poorly right now as well. So the other guy can play as safe as he wants as long as he's just spanning his larva in some kind of way. He's kind of going to be fine. All right, SCV start again. we'll keep the timer on just in case later on they'll stop building SCVs again, which might actually, all right, this is triple. Jesus, that's really bad actually. If you have triple CCs and you're not producing anything with any of the orbitals, that's not good. Now, there is a build where you get triple CCs and then just use the mules, but with that build, you build four barracks at the same time. So you cut workers very early, four barracks at the same time, and then you try to hit very hard with one one, and five barracks production really early. That's not the case. So it's definitely a mistake here. We see the halions have achieved truly nothing. Three helions died, killed eight lynx, Ovalor died to the Viking, and three tumors have gone down. So, I mean, he's still pretty much in the dark as to what's happening here. His first move out is going to be a little bit late. It's floating eight, 900 minerals. So is the Zerg, but we're not here to judge the Zerg player. we're here to judge the Terran player. So the question is, hey, what would have happened here if he actually would have spent his money? Now, we can translate this money perhaps in, well, what is it? 15, 16 more Marines, something like that. That probably would have been quite helpful in this army. Well, quite helpful. Probably would have just straight up one in the game. Of course, it's not a one-to-one translation money to Marines, but I think at this timing, he probably could have had 10, 12 more Marines, It's two more Matterfax as well. What? Ah, this is the Goody Way. So there was this famous Macing Terran who used to trick people that he actually had good macro and he did it by building CCs or queuing up four units at the same time. And he'd only play Mac as well. Good old Goody. Yeah, this is not how you're supposed to play. But I still prefer this over floating the money. So a lot of the time people will just be floating 500 resources. it's still better to build something with it, even though, you know, it's like tricking yourself that you're macroing better. But I don't really mind the extra CCC. That's fine. That's completely fine. So actually, our Terran here is in a pretty decent position. He has a decent amount of units. He has tanks in nice spots. He can scan some of these creep tumors away. Now, the thing we're really missing is... It's a lot of workers, though. Like, this army gets cleaned up. But that's... They shouldn't have been the biggest of you. I'm having difficulty finding my words here, because he should not be at 51 workers at 9 minutes. If we compare this to any other pro game, or just any game in which nothing happens to the economy, I think we're going to see a Terran that's going to be at least at 65, maybe even 72, 73 workers with the fort base probably already going and saturated. I've seen innovation play games, definitely with bio, where he's up to 80 workers at this point already. This should be flowing towards the fort base and be building into a planetary. This should be being built into an orbital. 2 is on the way, which is fine. We see no second factor yet. So the way you want to be playing in TVZ is usually whenever you're, you're building a fort base is that you play five racks, second factory, and then you go, well, you get the second factory while you're building your fort base. You don't go six racks. So this one is a little bit late. It's not the biggest of deal, but just a small note. Also, he hasn't done any harassment whatsoever. Very common in this matchup is to do the frontal push and then have a drop on the side. The boat clear creep there and to make sure that the Don't do that, please. And to make sure that the Zerg is a little bit distracted, and maybe you can do some damage, you know, you can clear Crete at two sides at the same time. He completely stopped his tank production and he went straight into drilling class. Now this is the sign of someone who has no clue what he's doing and just copy the pro player which I'm not even necessarily a... Oh, decent splits. I can live with that. I can live with that. Probably should just move back, though. I don't think you can fight, but the splits weren't that bad. So what I'm trying to say here is that he's seen a top player go second factory, drilling claws and mines, and he gets the reactor on this factory as well. But that was either against Ling Bane or Ling Bane Muda. If you're playing against Hydra Bane, you'll see almost every Tarran, 99% of the Terrans will play. tanks. They'll make many, many tanks because tanks are really, really good against Hydra Bane in general and that's how you want to be playing. Now, sometimes they'll still throw in a mine here and there to deal with run-bys, but in general, the main army composition is going to exist out of tanks because tanks are just extremely powerful against HydroLISC because there's no mutas on the way. You don't need TORs. The mines are okayish, but not quite as usual because high rust can outrange him of course now once again we have Aki moving a little Kufar forward loses another army basically on creep sieges up two liberators floating a solid 2.6k minerals and 12 minutes into the game don't forget first we were at 53 workers and now we're already at 61 workers and I think that was at the 8 minute mark so he managed to produce 7 workers off of five orbitals in four minutes. In four minutes. So that means per orbital, that is about one worker per three minutes. Now, that is very impressive, because you know that you can build five workers per minute with Terran. So I'm just a little bit confused exactly how he thinks his opponent I mean, if I was him, and I wouldn't pay attention to building SDVs either, I'd also be confused, like, man. Like, my trades aren't even that bad, and he's playing so safe. Like, his fourth base was super late. Man, like, your third base is barely saturated. Your fourth base hasn't even really started yet. Like, it doesn't really matter how late your opponent's fourth base is if you're never getting a fourth base in general. It's like complaining your opponent doesn't have a third when your one base all innings. Like, mate, he doesn't need to. You literally have no workers. Like, what are you going to do here? Well, the answer is absolutely nothing. Mines are being spread. The Liberators are out as well, which I'm not the biggest hater of Liberators, but... I feel like it's a bit too soon, you know? Usually you see Liberators later on in the game once the Terran has a good position, a decent tank count, and perhaps starts thinking about Ghost as well. you see stuff like Ghost Liberator, but in this case I mean there's just a single tank. Oh, we're actually going to be seeing a drop. Now this is kind of intense. Fly straight into the Overseer. Nice. Oh wow. Is that a French voice? Amazing. So we have what you call it? Advanced ballistics on the way as well. another double drop heading out right now. And actually he's doing a fine job macroing, right? Like he's spending his money a bit better than the Zirch is. The Zerg is floating 6K resources and our UK Terran is only floating 4K resources. So really he's doing a way better job when it comes to that. Of course he's also mining less. So the rate of spending is probably very similar. Now we actually have two drops on the way and this is where the multitask of the Tarran comes in. Let's just have a look at the famous. Terran multitask. So he's maxed. Comes the first macro. Seize that it dies, gives it up. Fair play now. Actually, it gets a little bit of damage now. That's good trade. Good first trade. Second part of the army. Dyes, but it gets a hatchery. Altogether, pretty good. Pretty good, right? I'd be happy with this if I was the Terran, honestly. You killed the fifth base, once again denying one of the outside bases, absolutely destroying the Zerg. The Zerg actually has... what the hell? Why does he have so little supply? He has a lot of painlings and he lost all of his hydros just now. I just love this move-out. There's not a single META-fact with this army. There's two metaphacks coming back now. Liberators are still just defending this part. So there's like 30 supply defending this area, then there's 30 supply defending this area. Nothing is defending the fourth base. So any type of run by Woodwin. He is right though. There's infinite creep. And there's infinite creep is because he hasn't one tried to actually kill some creep. I don't think he's actually... Like how many tumors have like maybe 15? But he has 60 tumors killed. Jesus. Creep is broken guys. I mean he killed 60 tumors and the game still isn't over. isn't over. That's actually surprising. Look at this. This little 4.3K Zerg player over here, literally better creep spread than Sarah. That's quite something. I think Uki might be onto something. The creep? No, I was going to make fun of him for not killing too many tumors, but damn boy, was I wrong. Actually, nothing has happened this year ago. Aki is literally playing the campaign, and he's angry that the AI has improved so much, and he can beat the AI anymore. There is missions where you just need to hold on against waves of Zerb. And that's pretty much how Agi plays latter as well. It's like, all right, what's the next wave? You know, and he tries to craft the perfect army to deal with everything like Marine Marauder, Liberator Mine, single tank, no planetaries, but I want more money for mules. And then he just keeps holding back wave after wave after wave and he just hopes that he gets the win eventually, that the Zerg takes such a bad engagement, that he can counter it. without really having the micro ever again. I've been flying forward some solid joinks, but... Honestly, once again, I don't think this was too bad a fight for Akki. Like he just, he clears everything. He finally has his fort base up. He right now is mining from one... One and a half base. Literally one and a half base. So, no matter how good his traits are, he's always going to be in kind of a crap spot, right? So no matter how good his traits are, he's always going to be in a bit of a crap spot, honestly. Like he's mined out his main, his natural, his third is about to be mine out. So he actually mined a decent amount of minerals, but he's just always going to be bases down, as long as he doesn't get to clear any of the creep. Because what Della Beat is doing is he's just taking base by base, staying on a pretty low worker count as well. But at least he's always going to be able to get bases. I mean, if you compare it with Aki here, who is having trouble establishing a fort base with an orbital command. It's just sad to see that like three, four tanks here would be super helpful. or the 7-8 tanks would be super helpful as well. Or even using all the mines you have in the back or the mines that are at your army just burrowing them. You know, there's so many things that are going wrong here. That's really quite painful to watch. I mean, he's just wasting so much supply from things that shouldn't be happening. Once again, no meta-facts at all the matter. Like every single fight, he just stays until he loses every single unit. And he's like, okay, I've lost every single unit. Now I'm allowed to build a new army again. And he starts from basically from scratch again. every single time it's super frustrating to watch because it makes absolutely no sense as well it's like why the hell would you play like this dude it actually makes zero sense the way you want to be playing is you want to try to preserve as much of the good units from your army as possible if you realize you're losing a fight like you can just fly back with the matter of x right katie's building more liberators nothing else floating 4k minerals 900 gas now you could say sure the Zerg also is floating but I mean, Cirque has worse units lost, but just mine more resources. And still has a pretty decent army. How many larva is there? 20-2 larva. This is one of those things I can never understand. If you have the larva available, yeah, you can just spend them. Like the injecting is the hard part. But, sorry, back to the Terran. Another command center could be helpful to maybe try and take a fifth pace here with a planetary at some point. Like a double drop over here. I mean, there's a couple of spines, which you could just kill that. should be no problem. You have three three marines. The one problem that Yuki, that Aki has over here is of course that he has no meta-vex. So any kind of pressure is going to be with Marines that are completely overstimmed, with liberators, which will be spotted a mile away, because actually the entire map is covered in Creep. Seventy-seventh creepers have died so far this game. I'm actually honestly quite impressed. Seventy-seven creep. Creep might actually be too strong. I'm leaning towards it, guys. If this guy who is a 4.4K player who can't spend his minerals is building this much creep, it might actually just be too powerful. My boy, Aki here has been working hard on killing the creep. Sure, he doesn't have no matter of fact, sure. His macro hasn't been perfect. Sure, you forgot to produce SEVs for majority of the game isn't really getting gas on the third or the fourth base. And I'm sure there's a host of other problems with this play. but the creep man it's massive oh here comes the the classic marine mine run by onto creep big stim how many more times can he do this before they just fall down due to exhaustion oh what more scan here we go a couple more tumors who mine shoots no does not shoot if there were metaphics here perhaps you could have picked it up that would have been real nice actually two more Vikings on the way right now. I feel like if you realize you have to build this many air units, it might be wise to just throw down a second starboard. But then, you know, he would actually need to take gases. Oh, he does it. He realized that as always, I have wait a second. I only have four meta-fax playing against eight broodlords and tanker rafters. Perhaps the answer would be to get gas because right now I have zero gas mining. There might be an issue. I'm not sure if this guy is trolling or not. Are you mean what is a big fight here? I don't even know what to say. This game is so good. Yeah, Bainix will roll in, there's no micro whatsoever, Gigi. I mean, I'm not sure if Aki is serious, right? Maman Aki, first of all, what we need to work on over here is, um, the first minute and a half or the first two minutes. You had some weird builder. I didn't like that very much. Second of all, what's up with the SDV production, man? Get it together. You're building no workers. You have three CCs. You're slow as crap. Third, the way you build your structure, double CCC, late second factory, six racks, before 4CC, no gases on the third base. Unit composition, where were your tanks? You can just get ghost if you see Viceroy. as well. I know P-EMP or snip, whatever you want to do with an enhanced shockwave. It's really easy to hit. So against Hydra Bane, you could just play like tank lip, a ghost or something like that. You're gonna be absolutely fine, my dude. But yeah, tanks are good. Like if you are getting mines, use them rather than having them to defend the third base with 14 mines and four liberators. You could use sensor towers as well. Don't forget that. You could wall at your third base, which is helpful. You should take gases at your third base. You should multitask. You completely forgot the clear creep whatsoever. Well, okay, wait. I catch myself once again. That's actually not true because you did try the clear creep, but there was just too many tumors. Now, that possibly could be, and this might just be a suggestion, that you are literally playing the campaign. Like you actually never attacked. You were just defending wave after wave after wave. And I'm telling you, even a gold or, well, in this case, a diamond player, is going to have the best creep spread in the world. if he's going to just be allowed to sit there for what seems to be 30 minutes straight. He just literally sat there, like, all right, you're not going to clear my creep, or you're not going to move on the map, or distract me in any type of way, all right, another tumor, another tumor. Like, this guy had so much time. He was just slowly taking bases. He was, you know, he probably was doing other things at the same time, honestly. Like, you were sweating over there, like, sweaty micro and Marines forgetting to build SCVs, and he was feeding his kit, man. This guy was having an absolute blast. so yeah all together yeah you suck suck pretty hard that ain't too nice all right if you did enjoy this episode of is it in where do i suck don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel up there and otherwise check out some of my other videos over here nice
