There harsed him. In this game versus a Zerg, man, I was winning by a big amount in the early game, even killing his third. No matter how ahead I was, though, the lurkers kept bringing him back into the game. Period. Every time, no capital letter on that first E, pay attention hamster, every time they burrowed that spot, became an unbreakable fortress, fortress with a capital. They are so imba, captain, please, capital P, help. All right. Very, very interesting. Now, he says that the lurkers are becoming an unbreakable fortress. His name is innovation, so he is aware that there is professional players. This means that we can go a little bit harder, all right? You have a barracks first opener here into what seems to be some nice gas mining. You'll love to see it. Absolutely love to see it. See it, C.C. going down a little bit later. Is this off position? I'm not sure. This seems to be off now. This seems like it's nice in the middle. Is this one too far up? I think it is. This doesn't look correct. It's supposed to be in the middle. I think it's supposed to be one down. Nice. This is a good start already. You love to see it. Within the first five sets. We can spot a major mistake. We'll hope, of course, that he floats it later. That's always possible. We have the Reaper coming out. Dron is going to get the hatchery down. This is all pretty standard, okay? None of this is really controlling the Reaper is going to get one link. Maybe MicroZee is probably going to get two lings. Oh wow. It's actually doing a good job here. Look at that Reaper Micro guys. What the heck? This is extremely... Three? Okay, the only way this could get ruined if he now ends up losing the Reaper. Oh! Four lings. Okay, my decision, leave the game as the Zerg. If you're a Zerg and you're watching it, you lose four lings to the first Reaper, it's time to quit, you know? Time to go. Boom, next game. It's over. But our man, Innovation, told us that even though he got very far ahead in the early game, he wasn't capable of finishing the game. So I'm kind of curious to see what's going to happen there. Because, I mean, lurkers are difficult to play against, but if you even manage to kill the third base in the early game, then something's got to be up. Did he... Yeah, he floated it down, right? Something happened here. This is... It wasn't like that before. Okay. So he fixed this mistake. He's going into... Looks to me like... I think this is Benchy probably, right? Hellion, Helian. Oh, he's going straight into Stim. Okay. Fast Stim. Viking maybe then? Or Liberator? Could be both still. But he's... Oh. Concussive shell. And Marauders. Oh, okay, Mr.'s playing some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, some, so, some, some, I don't think it is, though. I guess you get the Viking to try to deny the scouting and then you, oh my, he's actually hiding in rods. Man, this guy is actually playing a, it's playing a good game, you know? Like this strategy makes sense. The fact that he's hiding it makes sense. He should fake right now another upgrade. Because right now you see this upgrade finish as the Zerg and you go, hey, wait a second. Is there any upgrade that finishes that fast? And you go, Stim, Combat Shield, neither of these. Aha. It has to be concussive shell. So right now, our Zerg player should know that something's coming up. He throws down a baling nest immediately, so he's doing a good job here. Our innovation has to throw down a supply depot. I can't remember the last time I saw the real innovation do this, by the way, where one of his first four depots was a supply drop. One of those rare moments where the fictional innovation is just slightly worse than real innovation. A Reaper comes back home. We have a bunch of cars, not being used once yet, by the way. he's saving them as a bit of a surprise it's not that great a surprise if the overlord can see everything but we'll still count it as a surprise Viking flies across the map as well didn't bother this Viking okay let's just think about it this Viking was supposed to deny all scouting but instead of denying scouting you stayed in the main base left this for overlord alive left this overlord alive so actually completely broadcasted to the world hey I'm moving out wee you I'm moving out We see our Zerg players getting bailings ready as a result as well. It's getting a bunch more lings. Sadly, it's a little bit supply block and the micro on these queens wasn't all that. Misses it transfuse here as well. And actually this is looking pretty bad right now for the Zerg player. He's down 10 supply already. If we see some decent splits, yeah, that was decent enough splits. I mean, the baylings didn't connect with all of them at the same time. Yeah. Okay, this is just actually game right now. We see the third command center goal. man center going down, barracks two and three are a little bit delayed but still should be fine. These halberts are still killing things up in workers, up in units. It's going to be up a base as well. He could actually just finish it most likely by going in here after killing this but I mean yeah this game is completely over at this point okay. No supply block has happened during all of this. He's actually kind of spending his money. I don't think the SV production was perfect. There's an SCV idling here and there, but overall, I mean, this is pretty freaking decent, you know. Unit lost, 3K lost for the Zerg, 800 lost for the Terran, Terran is upper base. No wait, he's not upper base. Wait, what? We're going to have to go back here for a second, guys, because now I'm confused. Okay, so he's attacking this base. Well, not with everything. He's also trying to chase these banings. Okay, he tricked me here because he said he killed the third. Maybe he believed he killed the third? Is he just clearing... Wait, what's he doing? Why didn't he just kill the third base? Does he think that he took out the third base? And that's why he was so sure that he should have won. Like, this base is still alive. I'm not going wild, right, Hamster? Well, I am going wild, but I'm not going this crazy. This is a... this one is still here. This is not a hallucination. I know you guys at home right now are thinking, did I eat shrooms this morning, accidentally, instead of drinking my green tea? No, you're not actually eating shrooms. This hatchery is still alive. We have been lied to in the imba form. This never happened. Usually at least they complain about things and then they'll lie about that they think that something is imba, but they'll actually believe it, so it's not lie. This guy lied. Get a light stamp out. Do we have this stamp? Hamster? Do it. You lied. What the heck? This base is alive. He tricked me as well. I was like, ah, the third base is that. I saw it get low. I read the thing and I just assumed it died and he already rebuilt it because I saw something on the meaning map. But we've been tricked here. We've been bamboozled by this imposter innovation. With a five-kill Viking, by the way. That's pretty big. Oh, he's actually going to get it. He's going to get it. Remove the stamp hamster. I'm sorry. Wipe it out, alright. Poor hamster. Put in like half an hour making a new stamp, crafting it in Photoshop, just to get removed after 10 seconds. This is the type of stuff that Hamster calls me about crying at night. Kevin, I can't do this anymore, man. I can't do it anymore. It's okay, Hamster. We'll make it together. This guy's playing off of two gas, by the way. That's not really a thing. You can't afford anything off of two gas. You see he's struggling to get more metaphics out at this point. He shouldn't be capable of getting any. any upgrades for tanks he shouldn't even be able to really get any tanks anymore after this like he either needs to make a decision how either tanks or matter-of-x he can't get both his three marauders are still going him the killing squad let's give them credit where credit is due come on nice okay well one guy died but i got a queen and they killed a hatchery so big big up to them you know big props i feel like this guy doesn't quite realize the power of gas. I've been talking enough with Stetman recently who keeps stressing the importance of that terracine gas. I'm not sure if this is Therazine gas. Oh, it's Vespine gas. I don't think Stetman can sniff that up. Can he? Probably can. Look at some stuff coming out there. I'm sure Stadman wouldn't mind getting that up his nose. It's this fourth command center. Three gas is being taken at the same time. Right now our friend realizes, this man is a real politician as well, like zero anticipation whatsoever. He's like, oh, I don't need the gas right now, so we're not getting more gas kizers. That's absolutely brilliant, my friend. I'm glad you do not look into the future. Because it was obvious to everyone involved that he was going to need the gas at some point. See, he can't produce any extra metaphics. He's struggling. He's getting a 4G really fast, actually. This is cool. I think he got this at the same time as Barracks 4 and 5. He's also floating 1,500 minerals. And he's still up, 30 supply. Now, I always call this the marine or the zealot index. I'm not sure I call it index, because my vocabulary is limited, and index sounds like a word that is difficult. So what I mean with that is that you can translate money into supply by using the zealot or the marine index. And the way you do that is by basically for every 50 minerals, you gain one supply because both a zealot and a, also a zergling. One supply is 50 minerals. So it's perfect for every race. Right now, my man, if he had invested this money into units, we'd have about 50 is 132. 64 extra supply. 132 plus 4, 6. 196 supply. If he could invest all his money into units, okay? I'm not sure if that would have been possible, but I think it might have been possible. He at least should have 180 supply at this point. So he's down about 50 supply from what I realistically expect at this point with the amount of money that he's already gotten during this game and with how production works as a Terran. Our friend is also forgetting to start his 2-2 upgrades, which is quite legendary in my opinion. He builds six depots at the same time because he knows he's going to enter the big boom here. It might be able to get above 200 supply. He's one of these guys again. I like eight depots, right. I like that he builds these in the front so he could at least pretend that it was a wall and then he builds two more in the back. So we now really are 100% sure he doesn't know how to do math. I'm always happy to see that because otherwise you know what happens. There's always these guys in the comments. And I know there's already people they don't finish this video and they'll go, actually these depots in the front where there's a wall and they function to make the circlings clump up more and then they flame me as well for like 3D pages about that I suck and I know these comments are out there. I want everyone who initially thought this was for a wall to put that in the comments as well. Okay, just play open card with me. Be honest, say, okay, I thought this was going to be for a wall. I'm sorry for doubting you, Harsden. Write that. I'm sorry for doubting you, Harsden. So apology every now and then. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with an apology every now and then. Okay, these Marines get picked up. As we see, our men, nine SUVs idling as well. How many is it actually? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. One more on the main, come on. Nine. Oh my God, I can count. Oh, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen SUVs idling. Oh man. Fourteen idling SUVs out of 69. Nice. That is a lot. It's like, what, one-fifth or something like that? I'm not sure why I keep trying to do math, but it's about one-fifth. about 20% of his workforce currently isn't working. That's not very great, I have to admit. Okay, he's mining gas with one worker in each geyser, which means he just built the geyser and that worker automatically goes in. This is just great. He looks at his bank account and he sees 1,200 minerals, 70 gas, that seems about right. Doesn't get a 6th gas, doesn't consider that he might not be mining full gas. He still hasn't started 2-2, by the way. When did his 1-1 finish? Like when actually did his 1-1 finish is my question here It must have been years ago Like I always feel like it's like four minutes ago or something like that That's so crazy oh it starts plus two Oh two two starts there we go good job buddy Moves out one ninety eight supply finally 2.2k in the bank Wait What one more time this I feel like this this replay is going to take like 40 minutes by the amount of moves that this guy does that makes sense okay so let's let's see the actual change in the location of the tanks so right now the tanks are over here okay here these are two three tanks over here they're going over there This maneuver cost him five seconds. Wouldn't it just have been faster to walk there? This is the guy that gets in the bus. Okay, listen to this. We all know these people. There's a bus stop and the next bus comes in 15 minutes. This guy waits 15 minutes for the bus, then gets off at the next bus stop, which is a two-minute walk. There's nothing wrong with his legs. He can walk there. He could have crawled there. Hell, I know there's people that can moonwalk there in that time. Actually, did you know that the record speed of moonwalking is something like five or six kilometers an hour, which is about as fast as the average human walks? I once saw this guy who, I think he moonwalked for an hour at like a high speed and he got like the world record for moonwalking. I watched like a little report on that. Very, very interesting. Hamster will do the research there. But yeah, that's this guy, my man, Innovation, the purple Inno. Okay, he's still in a good position, don't get me wrong, he's absolutely destroying his opponent. He has tanks, he has a crap ton of units, there's no creep. This fight is going to go extremely well. He just killed 40 supply and he lost three Marines. He could perhaps consider rallying all of his barracks to the front and actually producing units while this is happening. Can't he just move forward here? and just kill his opponent. So there's eight banlings, nine hydras and three roaches. And two lurkers. Where are they? Okay, they're over here. Can you just walk here and kill this? He has 48 Marines and 12 marauders. I think he could A-move blindly into this base and get it. No? Why is he moving so slow with these tanks? It's probably because he thinks you can only transport them by picking them up. Actually! He thinks that tanks aren't allowed to move by themselves. He's an idiot! Don't you love it when I say something and it... prediction correct, like not even half a second later. Here comes the drop. Look at this. Takes out the queen. Can we appreciate, by the way, the path that this man took to walk on creep over here? Okay, he went, I'm just gonna pass again, I'm sorry, but I have to. He walked from here, okay, he flew his MataFack, this path, then dropped on creep to show his opponent, hey, I'm on the left side, and then he walked in, rather than just stimming 50% of his army, taking out this base and going back. Brilliant moves, king efficiency over here when it comes to movement. You love to see it. loses everything to three banlings. Earlier I said, I think he can just a move and just win. Now, I think for anyone with more than three brain cells, that might have been the case, but I'm starting to doubt if our Terran actually would have been capable... What is he joking? Oh, no. Not into this position. Oh, it gets two tanks, actually. It was not a bad engagement. Okay, we have a drop here. Our man, meanwhile, floating 6K minerals, still not realizing. He only has 800 gas. Not the biggest of issues, because he still should be capable of... you know, spending it, spending his minerals. Actually, he's very long gas. Oh, he's another one gasser. This is great. Why isn't he macroing? Okay, he's getting more barracks now. I love that he doesn't realize. I have six gas. What are these guys doing? You need a gas guy at first, buddy. Oh, missing a fight. I'm not sure if it's a fight. This, okay, what he's? he just did is like the equivalent of like throwing a stick at a bear and then realizing that you can't actually fight a bear that's what he just did he's like hey hey hey killing the hatchery was throwing the stick at the bear here start running like a madman and realizes that actually bears are really freaking fast and they can climb trees like a madman as well insane like squirrels do the same but then the bear is massive and fast and kills you there's no matter of fact here Man, he really took out this extractor. Holy crap he destroyed this extractor. No! Extractor lives! Final shot, no, okay, well. Wasted money, that's okay. I wonder what the traits of me like. Still in favor of innovation here. This is fantastic, okay? Here we go. It's impressive because I feel like he hasn't microed his army once. He's going for the greater spire. I love the positivity that he has. He gets a greater spire. Next to this queen with the transfuse. uses, okay. That's, that's big. That is, that is, that is, that is some neuroplasticity. He, he managed to do that because he believed he could. Holy crap. 12 drones for the Zerg. 3.3 starts, 15 minutes or well, halfway done. I think he done a good job with that actually. Is he finally mining? Oh, he managed to put in three in this gas. The other gas can still suck it. I take a look at this guy. Oh, four in this gas making up for earlier losses. He went into Tor, goes. Viking. And it's still floating 7K by the way. Wasn't producing anything again. Half of his barracks are just not building units. He has 7K in the bank. You know what's better than not getting units when you're floating 7K? It's just getting units. Even if it's not the units you want. Like it's better to be maxed than to not be maxed, you know? Another one. Does he not realize you can queue up SUVs into a gas before it finishes? Take the gases body. Like does he not... How does this even work? Like how actually does this work? It's kind of lose this base. It wasn't in position. And there's no tanks in this army. You need tank... Tank ghost is really sick against this. He's just standing in the lurkers here. in the Lurkers here, trying to snipe half a Brutlord. Not realizing that his Vikings would have been able to do that without having to walk your entire bio army onto the Lurkers. He probably is an ends-justified a means kind of guy, you know? He's like, oh sure, I might have lost my entire army, but I did get those two Brutlors real good, not realizing that there was another way to Rome, as there's many paths that lead to Rome. I always like to say that. And this time the path was probably just Vikings, just shooting from a distance, because there was no anti-air except for three corruptors. That might have been helpful, but you know, who am I? I mean, who am I? We're on five bases here as a Zerg player. Well, we're getting a fifth base, 68 workers. Look at this, okay? These guys don't have the quick burrow yet. They didn't even have seismic spines yet. These were eight range lurkers. Wait, how is it possible that he lost that fight? Once again, I think that was negative micro. Just actually better not to have done anything there, just aim move. That's so crazy. It's actually crazy to me. He gets two tanks, he actually ced them in different positions. Can we get a scan? Can we get a scan? He's really lacking scans and I guess he just doesn't have the minerals to create a couple of extra command centers. I mean he could only build 20, 20 command centers. I guess you can't build orbital commands then. So maybe he could build 10 command centers and then 10 orbital commands. Would that maybe be a fair deal here? Oh, once again gets caught out of position. No tanks over here. Oh, starts trying to snip them. I mean, this is just sad. Why are there Thor's in this army? This is to be the biggest overreaction for three broodlords that I've seen in my life. The man sees three broodlords and he starts building Vikings and Thor's like his life depends on it. While he already had ghosts that would have dealt with them just fine. Still floating 8K, by the way, just daily reminder. reminder. When's the last time he built a marine, you think? Why isn't he just building marines? He still has equal in army supply? Is he mining full gas? Wait, he flew away his command center? This is brilliant. He was like, okay, I have two geysers here mining on this base. And I have 8K in the bank. minerals, 160 gas. What I really need right now is more minerals. So let me float my command center mining the one resource that I do need and then get the resource that I already have enough of, then build refineries on that base. Instead of floating this command center to this one, this is absolutely, this guy is clueless, clueless as to what's important in life. There's a type of guy that gets a text from his wife that she's currently in labor, and he decides that it might be more important to get drinks with the coworkers that he doesn't even like on the Friday afternoon. Like buddy, there's bigger things going on right now. One in gas again. Holy crap. Oh! Four. Well, better than one, I guess. I'm not even gonna complain right he gets gas here as well. Maybe float this base to the natural ever consider that, my friend? No. He's still long distance mining the gas. Everything he does annoys me. I hate everything about him. Just everything. Every single thing. Six more lurkers. He has adaptive talents now. He's getting three three upgrades. Lleaves plus three attack. 21 minutes into the game. He's building marines again. Now Marines aren't the correct... I'm getting Liberators. You have two Metavax. Just get... I mean, liberators are good to get, but you just don't have the gas for that right now. Like, you need to get healing for your units. How can you miss everything? Okay, more Cc's, more scans. Scans. Depo over here. Are the tanks in position? No, they're moving in position. I like that instead of like having two tanks naturally over here and two over here, he always just keeps moving everything back and forth. That way he makes sure that he's never in position. That's very, very, very bright. He's the type of guy that if there's two donuts left and there's a party of four, rather than giving two people two donuts, or splitting the donuts. in half, so everyone gets half a donut he just throws all the donuts in the trash he's like, I don't get a donut, you don't get a donut that's fair guys is the ultimate clown this fight was not it for the Zerg as none of the Lurkers were shooting but if he just keeps this position it's completely fine and the Zirg actually is mining well like holy crap this Zerg big respect big up to you Zerg player thumbs up dude you were dead Like that was the one part that actually was you were completely out of it. You were down 70 supply but you stayed in like a warrior. You fought yourself, you clawed your way back in man. Your fights weren't always great but... Big respect for you my friend. Sure your opponent made it possible. But this is really what something else. Lurker's going hand. Moving forward. Another scan. This game is just over. The game actually just ended. Okay? That is no way to speak to your opponent. As 11 actually wins the game after what has to be one of the worst start. in the history of Starcraft 2, one of the worst mid-game attacks I've seen in the world as well. So let's just recall quickly what happened here, okay? For the entire duration of the game, you had too little gas. You never mined gas properly. Whenever you realized that you needed more gas, you still didn't mine it quickly. It never was even close to in your mind. Your wife has already given birth, and you weren't there, my friend. That's what happened in this game. Second of all, your movement during your attack was so bad and so slow, you kept picking up units that could just walk to places. This is like the Terran dropping syndrome where they think everything needs to be a drop because then they can count it as multitask. The next time they're complaining on the Battlenet forums or on the Reddit, they can be like, well, I completely out multitasking. Look at all these drops. I picked up units and dropped them somewhere else and multiple control groups. Like sometimes the simplest answer actually is the correct answer. And not a single time this game did you go for the most simple answer. You always went for the most complex thing and always wrong as well. It's like, it's like the kind of guy who gets two plus two and you start writing out like all types of formula and you end up with five. It's like that's not how it works, my friend. Like you completely messed this up. Congratulations. Your late game was awful. You stopped building units whatsoever. You had no map vision, never really split your tanks properly. Your unit control wasn't good. Use your entire bio army to take out three brute lords. do I really need to go on Hamster give him the enlarged suck stamp okay you suck All right thank you so much for watching this going to be it for this episode of Is it Inba or do I suck where we had another sucker sucks to be him if you like this don't forget to smash the like button it really does help me a lot and helps Hamster out as well he does like watching the numbers grow leave a comment down below if you think this guy sucked or if you think I made a mistake, be sure to let it know in the comments as well. And we will definitely read that and look at it and respond. Thanks for watching and bye-bye.


IMPOSSIBLE At This Level! | Is It Imba Or Do I Suck

Today we have a very wise and experienced guest in IODIS who belives that Hydra Lurker and therefore Zerg is imba in PvZ. Of course I respect our elders and will investigate! Also press like and subscribe, so that I can buy more stamps for Hamster. This prick is getting very annoying about it...

Harst them! Exclamation mark. Big fan. I've been playing this game since 1998. Yes, I've been playing StarCraft 2 in my head since the original StarCraft came out. I'm 35 now, and I'm here to complain that Hydra plus Lurker is imba. I had a crap early game with my adepts, but I still killed 18 worked and a third base. Yet I lost to Hydra Lurker. This game is impossible at this level. Thanks, juice. this game is impossible at this level. This sentence makes absolutely no sense. He could say this matchup is impossible at this level, but this game is impossible at this level. That means that there's a certain level on the ladder where the game is impossible to play for whatever reason that he doesn't specify. I am not quite sure. He seems to be complaining about Hydra Lurker, but what else? He also mentions his age. He's 35. Maybe he's complaining that he's old as well. So we're going to go for three complaints here that we're going to be investigating. First complaint is that he's old. Well, that seems to be true, but we'll investigate that further. Two is Hydra plus Lurker is Inba. And three is that the game is impossible at that level. Whatever that means, we'll try to investigate and get to a conclusion that will satisfy hopefully most of you. So let's up straight into this game, all right? We have our friend Ice Called Juice. in the bottom right we have heasy ice called juice is the person who sent it in i believe he's a diamond player um can't remember the m m mr and it can't be bothered to tap out so um hamster will do some magic there okay let's let's just have a look he says he opened with adepts and he did a crapton of damage okay a crap ton of damage with adepts but it still wasn't enough against the imbalance hydra lurker which um it can be tricky to play against hydra lurker especially at lower levels People struggle against Lurker all the time. The reason for this is that they are invisible. And invisible units just tend to be very good at lower levels because people suck at getting detection. Listen to what I said. They suck at getting detection. They suck. Suck. And that's potential for a stamp right there, Hamster. But we won't do it quite yet. So put that stamping machine back into your pocket. Hamster's always very trigger happy with the stamps. You guys don't know that. But whenever I get the, we always talk about like the IOTish, you know. know and he edits it and he always just puts as many stamps as possible so every single week after tandem hamster no stamps now I'm like with Kevin it's so much fun and the noise that it makes I love it's like no hamster not not today so put it back in your pocket hamster we don't need it yet so we have a bit of a scout pylon block on the next row as well forced hatchery to be taken at the third we have was hello here we go this is a corps for Nexus? Oh, another probe? What is he? Okay, this is an adventure. He's a voyeur. He just likes watching people build things. Like this guy is a fake, not actually a worker. That's crazy. Crazy. Zellet? Core Zellet? No workers? No second gas? Okay, well, this is a build order that is interesting. Um, well, I'm not quite sure if interesting is the right word. I think bad is a better term here. Like, it just sucks. He's cutting a lot of workers in order to get a zealot out. and to get a second gateway and a third pilot. Wait, this is his second pilot? The second gateway he doesn't need. He needed this pylon, that's for sure. Gets an adept. Still doesn't build any workers. What is he cutting workers for? So he adds nothing and takes away a lot of economy. That's brilliant. You do love to see it. Also, this is actually very smart. This is a move which not a lot of people know, but if you're really confident and you want to show dominance in a game, you just always show your opponent your tech structures in your wall. Even though you're going to be building three buildings or five buildings anyway, and you can wall perfectly fine with two gateways and a cybercore here, just build the twilight in the wall as well, so your opponent knows exactly what tech you have. Then when you win, you can tell him, ha ha you knew everything i was doing and i still beat you that is very smart and gives you a mental edge next time you meet him on the ladder so he goes into my man called you here is playing the worst adept build in the world he's building two adepts from two gates that he has okay let me explain to you how the mathematics of this situation work okay i'm just gonna explain it real fast when your cybercore finishes, you have a hundred seconds of warp gate. I'll pause for this, okay? You have 100 seconds of warp gate, okay? In those 100 seconds, if you don't chronobo boost any of the units, you can build three gateway units, okay? Three gateway units, whichever one doesn't matter out of a single gateway. So if you build a second gateway before your warpgate research hits 54 on the timer, Gateway takes 46 seconds. That gateway needs to build a unit. And it needs to be built so early that can build a unit before Warpgate finishes. Otherwise, it is wasted effort. You don't need that gateway. This was a lot of math. And I know that majority of the ProDos players struggle with elementary school math, as most of us haven't finished elementary school. I feel you guys, but perhaps Hamster can make some graphics to explain it better. And if he didn't do that, it sucks to be you. So basically what I'm trying to say is he's cutting early workers and a second gas for no reason whatsoever. Also, I'd like to make everyone aware that he's cutting infinite works. He just hasn't built any workers. This is like a fake natural at this point. Like, okay, he's going to do damage with this, but it's still going to suck. I think he said he killed 18 workers or something like that. Now listen to this, okay? Listen to this. Imagine you have a situation where you get a free fight. Okay, you have a fight and both of you get to pick one weapon. It's a fight till not a doubt. death, but it's a fight who gets the most injuries. Okay? Your opponent's weapon is like a knife or something like that. And you pick a saw and you start sawing off your own arm. Then with that arm, you start beating him up. You viewed the arm in the other arm. You start beating him up and you give him a major bruising. Then at the end of this fight, the jury says, well, like you look. lost, you lost your arm and you're like, no, no, no, but I did this to myself. I cut off my own arm and thus, I should be the winner. That is kind of what Ice Cold Juice is doing here. Like he's merely bruising his opponent while he cut off his own arm in order to even inflict that bruising. Which makes no sense. Like, he needs to kill 16 workers and then it's an even worker situation, but he will have lost more units and he won't have the mind. that his opponent has had in the past two minutes. So in order to get ahead in this game, he needs to kill almost maybe 25, 26 workers, and then he might be had. I'm not even sure at that point. Let me stress that. I'm not even sure if he would be at it. He kills 25 workers. And he's just been losing adepts already, not doing anything. Also, a daily reminder that the fastest time you can hit with like 12 adepts or good time. is like 440 with a prism with like 39 workers. So basically he invented a new build order, cut out everything that is good, things like economy, a prism, a possibility to reinforce, and then replaced it with a faster second and third gateway that he doesn't use. This makes absolutely no sense. This build is truly the crossfit of bodybuilding. The crossfit of StarCraft. This build is to Starcraft what CrossFit is to bodybuilding. It looks fun but it's not actually that useful. I don't think there's a big CrossFit community watching my video so we can make fun of them a lot. It's like three guys. Most of them can't read otherwise they wouldn't be doing CrossFit. Nothing better than making fun of people to do CrossFit. Unless you enjoy it of course. picture a hobby, that's fine. So he's actually doing some damage. And I'm sad to say that he might actually be getting ahead. He killed a bunch of lings as well, and his opponent hasn't been mining for the past 10 minutes. His opponent also is mining from like with 30 workers, like four gases. It's not quite what you want. Slightly more minerals, but it's okay. I mean, the end of it, I actually think this game kind of resets itself and equalizes in some weird way. What's the follow-up? Okay, some zealots that makes sense. He's like, okay, right now my man, ice cold juice, was thinking, was thinking, I already build a lot of adepts now. I want a unit that gets countered by the same units that the adept gets countered by. So if you think, what beats the adept? You think, Bealing, Roach, right? Separate or together doesn't matter. And then you think, so what beats the zealot? Well, Bealing and also the Roach beats the zealot. basically if his opponent would try to counter the unit he's already been building, he would also have the hard counter to the army he's currently building. This is what we call a brilliant transition. It just makes absolutely zero sense. It's a worse transition, you know? Yeah, I just don't quite understand it. Okay, imagine this. Back in the day when people first wanted, The books, they were, we didn't have the print yet, you know, we couldn't properly print books. So what you have is you have like monks, they write the books themselves. They had like these beautiful letters that they draw as well. It's kind of similar here where my man, ice cold juice, has bought a printer. Sure, the printer isn't great, but it does a decent job in this analogy. The printer is the adept. Then the printer, you know, it kind of ran its life. lifespan and and and and my man ice school juice thinks okay i can do a couple of things i can either buy the same printer again or i can upgrade it but instead what ice ice cold juice does is he goes to the monastery and gets himself a monk to start writing books for him again that is the transition from glaive adapt into pure zealot sure um you do have some company but I'd still go for a printer. But I mean, that's just, that's just me. Of course, that's just me, guys. I mean, who am I? Just your average Starcraft player. Overseer scouts. My man easy is like, interesting. There's probes here. There's no third base. It must be weird to scout the entire main base and see a single pilot. My man's been building his entire SimCity and it's natural. Look at this. if he ever gets bainling busted like there's only like 35 banlings to go through the first row and there's like three more rows behind it okay is salads let's take a look at the opponent opponent has six hydras and 20 lynx against 17 zealots I'm really curious how ice cold juice is going to lose this fight I'm really really curious how is he going to lose this fight? How is he going to lose this fight? Seven queens as well. You still have... Nah, there's no way. 17 zealads. You can't lose this. Seven more drones on the way. Makes sense. Okay, queen goes down. More queens go down. More queens go down. Okay, half the army starts attacking three drones and extract her. Just right clicks the base. Smart. I love it. That was brilliant. He was absolutely destroying the fight. He looks at the fight and says, I don't think I actually want to straight up kill all of his units. What might be better is if I right click this hatchery with 1500 HP, take that thing out while my units are dying, then I can go home and I still am at a worker disadvantage. and my opponent is still outmining me. Good call in my opinion. It's the type of play we've come to expect here at IOTIS. Third base for ice cold juice. Fleet beacon, blink, plus one air. He's a, he gets every single, every single Twilight upgrade. Did he do them in order? Is glaves the first one and then charge and blink? Maybe he thinks you need to get every single twilight upgrade. everything in order. Now, then he would have gotten plus one air weapons before Warpgate. There goes that theory again. So he gets one void ray, gets a fleet beacon, and a carrier, a single carrier, while he's getting blink. I see a lot of interesting things, but this is definitely interesting. I'm also very curious how he's going to lose to Hydra Lurker when he's getting Airtals. Like that can't be easy. I mean, his opponent is pretty broke as well. It doesn't have a lot of supply. There is one upgrade for his opponent, but there's no infestation pit, no seismic spines. He's not getting a Templar archives. If he gets the dark shrine, a robo facility in a robo way, he has every single tech structure on four gas, which is something I haven't seen in a while. It really is something I haven't seen in a while. This thing is burning. Are both players just not going to do anything for the next five minutes? That would be something as well. No fort base here. Carrier, Tempest. He's actually just building every single unit. Two Voidre is a carrier, Tempest. After this he'll build two phoenixes, get Anian pulse crystals, then get Flux veins. Maybe get Dark Templar Blink and half a DT as well. hallucination scouts I wonder what he's looking at if he's lost his hallucination saw nothing with it this is okay this is no I want to press the B button here look at this this is the type of production tab you expect when someone is on five bases plus one air blink tempest the plus one attack doesn't make much chance but the rest and you also see an interceptor here like this is the most late game production tab I've seen in my life, but my man is still on five gas. I don't quite understand how he's affording all of this. It's probably because he hasn't been macroing at all, but... He's not getting a fort base. His opponent is going up to 74 workers. Some slight oversaturation issues here at the third, I have to admit. Storm, two two upgrades, plus two attack, plus to carapace. Investation pit. I guess he gets hive now or what? No. Okay, that's fine. I mean, we have loads of time. It's not like my man ice cold juice has been doing anything in the past five minutes. He's just been sitting around, literally doing nothing. Has he built any building jet in the main? What is his obsession with this natural base? Like he has so much face. Maybe this is like a green zone, you know, you're not allowed to build there. We have some of those in the Netherlands. We have a place called the green heart. If you want to build stuff there, they'll tell you no. It's like what nature protected. Maybe that's the case. There's some vegetation here. I'm not sure if these protected plant species. He's just a very environmental friendly person. Interesting. I didn't know that was also the case in Starcraft, but if you learn, there is some vegetation here as well, but I guess that might. matters a little bit less maybe. I'm not sure what we're looking at either, guys. Like the past three minutes, actually nothing has happened. He hasn't once confirmed what his opponent is doing. It's getting a second forge. But why? I thought it was going into Ayrtos. Does he actually have Templar with Storm? Okay. This is the weirdest army I've seen in a very long time. This opponent has four overseers. I'm just going to speed this up a bit. but you have no clue what's happening here. They're just sitting and doing nothing. He's like, okay, I'll build more buildings over here because it wouldn't want to get any in the main. Start spreading pylon so he can add more gateways, maybe. Maybe a second Stargate would be smart or going up to a probe count that's higher than 60. Also be considered a wise decision. I mean, if you're not planning on doing anything, at least scout what your opponent is doing or expand a bit faster. Okay, we move across the map. We're getting close to Max after all. You've got to be kidding me, right? He's not actually going to walk through this choke. What? Is this what I waited for for four minutes? What is this? What was he looking at during this? I was so curious. Okay. Imagine seeing this. He's full vision of it. And he knows there's two rocks. Why does he keep going? Why would you do this? They don't even have... Okay, they do have seismic spines. I don't think they had it at the start, though. It might be wrong. Holy crap. I mean, this guy could have had literally 35 disruptors, and he still would have lost the Hydra Lurker. I mean, if you're going to fight like this, the army doesn't matter. I'm starting to get impressed how he even managed to do any damage with the adepts early on, if this is what his army control looks like. Like, he must have realized that this isn't it, you know? I mean, this is unreal the level of play here. Sirkman just rushes in. I mean, at this point the game is just completely over. They're actually completely over. It's 200 supply against 110. Trolls down one storm, two storms, actually good storms, right away. I feel like if he actually just would have gone into mass carrier, he probably would have won. At least been in a better spot. Its opponent has good upgrades though, 2-2. Holy crap. Double force hasn't really paid off yet. I mean, it's only 15 minutes in game, so I can't blame the guy too much, right? Only having two upgrades, 15 minutes in a game in which nothing happens. Fort race. I mean, the game is over. We can... How long do you think he stays in? You think at this point he's raging, probably. He's pretty old. Maybe as a kid, his kid was crying and had to comfort it or something like that. It's also possible. Sometimes I always go for the worst explanation, but maybe he was doing something noble. Or perhaps because he's older, he's a little bit slower of understanding already. I think we're getting pretty close to proving that being all this bad for you. What was the other thing he said? This game is unplayable at this level. I don't know if this game is unplayable at this level, but if I was playing at this level, I think I'd make the game unplayable for me by uninstalling. All right, ice cold juice. the question you post the question you asked is is hydro lurker imbalanced or do I suck my sincere answer to this is is that you suck no big spiel before it I'm just going to tell you this sucked okay you attacked into a choke that was extremely tiny just it was like this you had full vision of what your opponent's army was And you decided to move your terrible army, pure stalker, Templar, which is terrible already against Lurkers, through this tiny choke. You lost all of it. And then you lost the game. Like, it really was as simple as that. There was, this was no rocket science, my friend. And the fact that you thought that this replay was a good example of imbalance to show me that your brain has been deteriorating a bit. So, gets me to the other point is that, yes, you are old. And the final point is that, yes, this game might be unplayable for you at this level. Perhaps it's time to move on to different things in life. Like you have these puzzles, you know, you can do with the pieces or crosswords. It can also be very challenging. I have some difficult one-star shudoku's in my little Sudoku book that I have. If you want, you can borrow it. I mean, I can send you some over. I can send you some riddles. easy difficulty. All of these things might be a better fit for you. You suck. All right.

Hi Captain, your Chinese fan here. This game, Dull started with an unsatisfying roach... Actually can't be bothered with reading this anymore. Let's switch it up a little. Hit the tape, John! The early game didn't go so well. My roach push got sent back to Albert, my mutiling. harassment did some damage The goddess of victory smiled at me I thought this MMR was free But then he still one unit killed my brute lord Toes him by Toes him Oh, hoi, I played the wrong chord. Wow, what a fantastic vocal performance. So yeah, he seems to think Protoss is a little bit in balance because Tier 1 units managed to take out his Brutelords and a host of other, he did a lot of damage with Mura Ling. And then what else was there? Right, his Roach Queen Pushfield. Now this form already, okay, it things start, going in my head. You know what I mean? So the thing's like, the cockwheels start turning. They're a bit rusty. My brain hasn't worked this hard since last week I owe this. But basically what I'm thinking right now is an unsatisfying roach push probably means his roach push gets absolutely slaughtered. Okay? His roach push got owned. And then he still thinks that he should be able to win. Now, imagine if the rules here were reversed. And we got a Protoss. to send me this replay. And the Protoss would say something along the lines of, well, my one-based four gate failed, and then I still managed to come back in the game through brilliant DT harass. Everyone would be up in arms, deservedly so. But with Zerg, somehow this is kind of understood to be okay. They do a very, very dedicated all-in or pressure. It fails, and then they still want to be able to macro out of it. Now, that is interesting to me. It's kind of the audacity that the Zerg player has, thinking, like, hey, I deserve to still be in the game, even though everything I did so far completely sucked. So these are some of the things we're going to be paying attention to when we will make our decision. Now, of course, we don't want to be too critical of our Zerg player. He already has diminished, you know, a mental faculty, as we are aware, most Xerks do have that issue. so we're going a little bit light on him he gets his third base blocked by a probe I didn't know this was a thing but you just you'd love to see this type of stuff all right this by the way is a master's game I didn't mention all of that because this form was honestly so good I thought this can be read out loud there needs to be something more and I think the delivery here was better than just your standard reading um Queen? What was... He got his hatchery before his second queen? Okay, okay, so it's like a 20 hatchery. This is kind of like... So usually there's two ways to play. Either you get your hatchery at 20 supply, which means it like 148. You have a faster creep at your third base. You can build a spore more easily. But then you have to delay your queens. Now what this guy does is he gets his hatchery. after his first queen, but before the second. So he gets none of the advantages of the 20 hatch, but all the disadvantages. That's pretty smart, I have to admit. I do like that. I do like it when people are just creative and make something that was good before, just a lot worse by injecting a little bit of their own thoughts in there. That's just cool. This is a bit, imagine if, uh, After our man Vincent Van Gogh, or as he's called, Van Gogh, had painted the Starry-Stary Night. And then someone else would walk over, you know, it's Starry-Stary Night, it looks nice, but what about I spit on it and just spits on it. Then, you know, it's a little bit of a cup of coffee. He gets out of his pocket, just throws it on the Starry-Starry-Nine and it says, now this looks a lot better. No, that's not the case. You just ruined Starry-Stary Night. He's a beautiful painting, by the way. Another fine piece of Dutch art. Good job, Vincent. I'm proud of you, buddy. He can't hear it, though. Vincent, I think, died in the 1700s or 1800s. Very sad story. An artist that was never recognized for that. A bit like me. Art is never quite recognized for his art. While he was still alive. We have two lings going down in the main base. Look, a probe got a kill. Oh, look at him. We got him. What do we call this probe? Because he's a warrior as well. He's both. He's not only a work. It immediately went back to work as well. Didn't even take any real damage, you know? Like it, this is like the type of guy. You sometimes read these stories like, man fights off lion in the jungle while delivering post. You know? like the postman in the jungle. And then in the interview, it's like, yeah, you know, and then I still delivered my letters that day. That is, where are you? I want to call him Ben, Ben the probe. Sounds like a good name for a postal worker as well. He just continues with his day job. Legendary guy. Legendary guy. Some dead reflexes over there. That's crazy. All right. Two adepts moving forward. I'm a big fan of the pros already, by the way. Three gate or, okay, I'm not a big. fan of what the ProDos is doing, but we're not here to talk about what the ProDs is doing. We're here to look at the Zerg. So far, the Zerg has lost two workers and has killed absolutely nothing. There's a pylon at the third base, so that will make up for the two workers lost. Never do it. If you're a ProDos player and you see this and you think, hey, that looks cool. I don't care if it looks cool. It's terrible. Okay, it's not worth it. Here comes an Oracle. Actually, gets a worker. Nice. Good job. You know, that's actually good. That's good. It gets a workers. Three workers down so far. Early game, looking. pretty tight for a prolos player, gets another Oracle, three gates, Nexus at a normal timing as well. This Tos build is looking normal. This Zerg build is looking normal as well, skipping spores where he can, which is the way that Zirc is kind of supposed to play. I feel like a bit too heavy on the queens too quickly, though, as he is floating a lot of larva and doesn't have the money to put it into drones, which is what you want. So he thinks he's being saved by building this many queens this fast, but in reality is actually cutting workers for it. it. He's just kind of worker with a Ling? I don't worry. We got Ben. Come on, Ben. I bet Ben is going to get a second kill. Ben. Come on, buddy. The world needs you. But when the world needed him the most, he disappeared. No, Ben? Oh, no way. Oh, he's poking the bear. He's... Ben is going again. Oh my god. Look at that. No real damage though. He scared him away. scared the line away the second he saw he's like oh my god this guy is like a notch on his belt killed the previous line as well he goes to the natural where there's some losers working need to get some friends to help him he also took real damage of course didn't fight back just took it what a wanker all right um where was i i remember where i was in my story oh yeah so this gets a couple of kills so once you only have two queens at a base you probably are gonna need a spore once there's two oracles out or you're gonna or you're gonna need to be in super good position the map vision is pretty poor overlord spread is hello where's my camera so so far six workers gone down on the side of the Zerg player but also an oracle went down so honestly not the worst traits he has seven queens three more on the way is going up to 10 kind of like it honestly i don't mind any of these moves his drones are going all over the place though. Usually you don't really want that. But we'll keep it real. We'll keep it real. We'll say, you know what? That is fine. It's a pile here. My man is preparing hard for a potential all in, isn't he? The pylon over here, the lack of gases. I guess he doesn't see a gas over here. So it kind of makes sense. Ooh, get some more kills? No way. I sees no gas over here. He thought he saw no gas. Right now, if I'm the if I'm the toss player, he gets four gateways. like I'd be getting cannons, not gateways, you know? I'd be super afraid. He's getting storm, Templar. Probably want to get some immortals or something like that. Maybe you even want to get like a robo way at this point, try to pop out some disruptors. I feel like this is such an obvious push though. He's skipping his fort base. He's lacking. Okay, if you're trying to hide that you don't have all your gases, perhaps this isn't the gas that you don't take. Like this is, this is the clearest gas. You know, this is the easiest to scout for toss. Like every single time the Oracle flies into the main or anything goes to the main, it will see the lack of this gas. Like, don't take this one or something like that. Or even this one. Like, these are way harder to scout for toss. Also, probably should fake a fourth base when you play something like this. Otherwise, your opponent will realize, hey, what's going on over here? We see the toss goes up to, like, freaking infinite gateways. Honestly, doing a fine job. I like this prolos player. He seems to be, he seems to kind of understand what needs to be done to win. games you know he's he's a winner get storm that upsook sends in two adepts again just shift clicks a couple of these workers now sees 35 roaches he's like hey that's off gets an immortal and a void ray immediately starts cannons three cannons a battery four cannons this is a brain is what we call this yeah i see a very good brain holy crap he has no units though How is it possible that this push had no ravages? Is this a joke? I thought he built it in front of him. To be fair, I think if you keep this one over here, imagine... Oh, he doesn't see it. I think now he's... Oh, he probably just barely didn't catch it. Oh, that's unfortunate. And then he walks on top of it. You can kind of see it, but I can see why it's a bit difficult. Pop pops open. So this is not a great start. Then he walks down and gets all of these caught as well. Not the greatest storm because it wasn't quite necessary, but I mean, oh, keeps walking down. It's like half of my army is still stasis down a ramp. Hasn't cast a single bow yet, by the way, to break the single force field. Forcefield almost runs out before the bile hits. Finally breaks the fourth fields, stasis is gone. Oh, here come the biols, almost instantly this time, but he's already lost like 15 roaches for free at this point. He hasn't even seen the cannons yet. Did you just go back home at this point or what does he do? Floating a casual 800 as well. This toss has a good defense by the way. Like honestly very solid defense. Good force fields. Good like zone control. Uh, it gets hit by a balder. This is one temper. Once again good force field. Really quite impressive. This push was a complete failure. An unsatisfying roach push. Very unsatisfying. So right now if we just have a quick look at the situation, okay? Okay, we just, we just take a, perhaps we do some midgame review. Ding da-da-ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. This is the mid-game review. Ping, ping, ping, ping. I just did that in case Hamster doesn't have the old tune still alive somewhere, and otherwise you can play both of the Hamster. You got my permission. Okay, so let's have a quick look, okay? So far, he's lost. 25 roaches, four ravagers. 40 zerglings and 10 drones. He is down 11 workers. Yeah, 11 workers. His army comp is a lot worse than his opponents. His fort base is probably starting at around the same time as his opponents. Supply is equal. He is completely that, ladies and gentlemen. This game, by any means, should be completely over. This is not a game that should be playable here for the Zerg anymore. As he decides, it might be a wise decision to keep pulling. pushing into this army with inferior forces. Actually gets a couple of decent traits. I'm semi surprised. There's an immortal idling in the back. Okay, this still wasn't great. Overall units lost, also massively in favor of TOS, but the main thing, of course, is that the mining for the TOS has been very, very good compared to what it's supposed to be usually for TOS. As he's actually mining more than a zerge opponent, that's never supposed to be the cake. The cake. Never supposed to be the cake, guys. Never supposed to be the case. There we go. You go in an S, not a K, not even that close in the alphabet. Oracle goes across the map, tries to get a little scowl in, Blink gets a research, Krono boosted plus two. This thought I like the way he plays honestly. It's like, you know what? I could counter-deck, but what if I go straight into roaches and then I might still lose that fight? No, I play it safe. I get a fort base, got a cannon, I get blink in case of mutilis. Start sending out Zellad runbys as well. Oh, this is beautiful. I mean, the Zellad Rambi shouldn't be able to do anything. but what the Zellad Rambai does is it checks the opponent's army. It gets to see, hey, what is coming out of the X? And also, what units are you using to defend? Stasis ward gets used. Oh my God. Those is queuing up things left, right and center. I think he missed the Mura Lisk flyout though, no? I don't think he saw it. I think there's something, because there's seven Mura's already. This is the Mita Ling harassment. Now, please do not be confused here, as this Mura Ling harassment needs to do a crap ton of damage, right? now is 62 against 78 workers. And the TOS has already been mining. So if he kills 16 workers with this, that won't be enough. He needs to kill like 30 workers with this to get, oh, wrong button. He needs to kill 30 workers to get back to a semi-even game. So Oracle remains alive. So I like that. I like that he doesn't show the Muras. I think that's a good call by the Zerg here. Probably the first good call he's had so far in this game. Um, Muralesk. I don't quite see what. where the lings are oh here come the lings things heading well they're gonna just fight into an arc oh they're gonna run into the natural look at that so this is a bunch of workers going down we're at 72 right now these lings are gonna kill a lot as well oh no okay this was a crap holy crap he gets a lot of workers remember when i said he needs to kill at least what did i say 30 or something 35 he definitely got that he got he got he got like 30 34 workers here we get a counter attack from the toss who loses half of his army while walking across the map loses his Templar most importantly does have a zealot run by though so even though the Zerg is Dishing out a lot of damage he's also receiving a fair amount of damage he already lost five whole workers um his fort base still isn't mining if we take a look at the income right now mineral wise it's actually still in favor of dos gas wise isn't the case oh my god this just gonna get cleaned up isn't it yeah plus two roaches a little bit too it okay this game is just over it's actually over. The main base gets absolutely ravaged. So Zirc can just literally move across the map and win the game most likely at this point. Right? 54. Yeah, probably. Yeah, it's just what he's going to do. Let's see what he does behind this. He gets two more overlords because he wants to be never supply blocked, especially this Zerg is very smart, okay. He is, most people just anticipate for what's about to happen in this game, but this Zerg, in case midgame there will be a patch where you can be above 200 supply, he's already building extra overlords just in case, just for that specific scenario. Instead of saying, you know, maybe I want 10 extra drones? No, he says, let me get three extra overlords. What if Blizzard patches this game, mid-map? This is just the brilliant type of thinking that you only get from these cognitively limited Zerg players. Okay, so everything dies. Now he's like, well, I could do a lot of things. I could, for example, not attack the cannons. He just, no, he goes here, this is fine actually. Maybe use a couple of roaches to clear the probes. Also not entirely necessary. That's nine more roaches. He does need to be careful here because if you do this, so the reason why very often this type of counterattack can be a mistake. You still have been here, that's everywhere. because he isn't on that high of a drone count himself. So if you don't have any anti-air, and let's find a hypothetical scenario where a Voidre, for example, would get 20 freaking kills, a majority of those roaches, yeah, that could potentially be an issue. If then your mutas are attacking the stalkers in the main rather than dealing with the Voidre that has been doing three damage for the past minute and a half. So now all of a sudden, this game, Isn't actually that good. He gets 16 drones at this point. Probably should be getting into like an infestation pit and carapace upgrades at the same time. I still think Zerg is ahead. I still think Zerg is in a good spot. Just simply because he's now up to 73 workers. He can go up to 8 gas. The Tos Army looks like crap. Like it consists of nothing. He's going to go Malay upgrades. I feel like it would actually just be better to either get carapace or infestation pit, Hydra then, and then go into lurkers. Like you're playing against a toss that is on one and a half mining base while you already have range upgrades. It's not like his army is going to suddenly consist of anything else than he has had for a while. And there's no way he can get a big enough army or a type of unit that can deal with lurkers. at this point I think. So what you do as the Zerg? Yeah, I don't mind this. Just kind of flying around with these mutilis, try to not lose them. Just keep your opponent at home. And you're forcing out stalkers. And then... Plus one upgrades. Like, this is the one unit that just doesn't do it all. You're either getting banlings or you're getting lurkers. Like, there's no... There's nothing else that... Well, there's many things you can do. probably could tack into ultra at this point with how far ahead he is but like the wisest unit composition would be either lurker or or bainling and if he isn't doing either then well he might actually make it a little bit difficult for himself okay dark templar gets warped in somewhere case a three dark templar we have no detection obviously very wise very wiser player he's like you know what I'm so far ahead right now rather than investing a minor amount of money into detection, I can just replace everything I lose because I am so rich. That is very, very smart. Yeah, this DT will die instantly. He has a creptan of money flowing money. He has 3K resources in the bank right now. I'm not quite sure what he's waiting for. He has 26 larva. He could just be building like either more drones or just any other unit and probably just move across the map and kill this base again. At this point, he could probably max out on Corruptor and just pee on this base. literally peeing on that base would be better than having it in the bank. I'm not sure if actually the 60s... I think he probably could, though. But also just like getting 26 or at this point 32 roaches, probably would just be fine. It actually would just be fine. He went down to 61 workers and he doesn't... Oh, he heard me. He heard me. He's getting eight corruptors. Eight corruptors here. Nice. I'm proud of you, man. Mura's still flying around. I think he's lost seven Muras, killing three workers in the past. five minutes. Look this. Look this. I love that how hard he's microwing. This is just great. I think this is, this is the, the pinnacle of lower level games. You have a guy floating 3K resources, microwing for Muda Lisk, against a stationary building and losing a Muda Lisk. Let's just watch this in slow motion. This is just great. Look at this. What's this APM while doing this? He's 309 APM controlling. for a mutilist against a stationary building. This is just great. You know the machines you sometimes have, where you can see how strong you are, like you hit it and you see the fire. This is basically like getting knocked out by one of those machines. As the ball returns, they hit, you get knocked out. He actually got taken out by a building that can't chase or can do anything. Well, all of his focus is on this, these three mutas are his life right. now this is just great is this is actually pinnacle pinnacle lower level play and this is in masters guys this is high level masters okay this is this is no joke all right this is no joke 16 okay loses one more murat to the stalkers that were just idling here probably uses all of his muras at this point now it wouldn't be surprised yeah oh drone gets popped out as well I feel like my game speed was not correct. That's okay. T.T. gets a couple more. He hasn't rebuilt any of his drones, by the way. Probably realizing, he's like, okay, I have enough in the bank. Why would I... He can't see into the future, right? Like, how can he know that this army won't just straight up win the game for him? Well, he can't, because he can't look into the future. So what he's thinking right now is every time I lose a drone, my army will grow bigger. Because, you know, once you hit their supply cap, I like this a lot. I also really love the plus one investment. in the lynx they're never getting painings just running around with lings because the Zerg player here thought about his opponent's army composition he saw Archons and storm and was like what i really need right now is units with low HP very vulnerable to splash damage let me upgrade those and then he built 40 lings with plus one this is the type of high level thinking that you expect from Zerg players that was nice that was nice you're not gonna hear me hate on that move that was a nice move he pop-op and boom out of the sky that was a good move you know what I like that move personally now he gets the lurker then this is just great finally starts plus three as well after he built what 12 corruptors maybe maybe lurker actually thinking about my opponent's army it's like a single immortal nothing that can really damage my lurkers at all gets in with the lings I wonder if this is a good trade at this I don't think it is. You just keep losing workers as well, by the way, which is fantastic too. I still on four bases, as his fifth gets taken out for, I think, the 13th time. I just said 13 because I know how to pronounce 12th. 12th. 12th. The 12th time. Moves forward with three corruptors, indicating that something's coming. Very often you see this with Terrans as well, when the Madovaks fly way in front of the army. You're like, aha. That's a Terran. coming is the same with corruptors like ah three corruptors the rest of the idiot can't be too far behind and that's a fact well actually not a fact because this is pretty far behind i like that he's already trading with it with his roach army he sees like storm immortal stalk he's like i wonder if i can weaken those already a bit with my my caveman roach ravager army takes out the rocks just maybe fight into this before the broodores drive yeah very smart now this is good so he's He's straighting out a lot of the roaches, so there's more space on his screen for the broodlord. He doesn't, he doesn't, I would keep them in the back. It's like a backup for when the broodlords die by themselves. I like those moves, honestly. I think that's smart. Roach Brutelard, of course, a unit composition with great synergy as well. See, the roach is really doing a lot of damage here. So far I've tanked two storms already. The roaches here aren't so much for dealing damage, I feel like, but more for just a general distraction. and making the opponent believe that you're a complete clown, which I think at this point that the toss is scratching his head. It's like, oh my God. I was down like 35 workers three minutes ago. I have no clue how I'm still in this game. Now here comes the same Brutelord push with Roach Reveager. So Roach Reveager tanks another storm. Then the Brutlords fly through an entire storm duration. Maybe if he does that two more times, you'll just lose them before the fight. Four lings take out this base. Plus one really coming in handy here. Good blink forward, actually, by this toss. Some decent storms. I mean, the toss is just microwing this very, very well. And the Zerg, I think it might have been better if he would have just taken a shower once he started taking his forward. It's just A-moved. I feel like the units by themselves have better AI than what this guy has shown so far. Loses all of his broodlords. and all of his roaches. Who would have thought? If you absolutely show zero micro, you have plus one broodlords without any real support. Well, you can't call roaches support, I guess, but they don't really are a support. They aren't really a supporting unit usually. Something like a bainling or like infestors here would have been sick, honestly. But bainlings also would have been fine. You can just bless these stalkers so well. Still six corruptors there in case the air switch of the toss on three bases ever dust commands. I still wonder what the unit lost looks like, 34K, which means that the Toss actually has mined almost as much as the Zerg, because the Zerg just completely forgot to rebuild stuff. I love that the Toss is going back home as well, he's like clearing some creep. He understands that his opponent will eventually probably attack into him again. Okay, two broodlords, the Tier 1 units. This is not a Tier 1 army, by the way. This is like stalker, immortal, Arkom Templar. Like, the Zerg army was way more primitive than what the ProDols have. It felt like the Zerg always fights in like little segments where he first throws half of his army away or tanks so much damage that his army is half useless. And then it's like, okay, now I can go again. She still has two Brutlords, sends them forward. Wouldn't want them to be supported by anything, obviously. That would be dangerous. Good blinks. His micro has actually been pretty good. The TOS Micro, that is. Now he just showers this in storms. He just be a little bit careful, yeah, good blink back. One more storm. Clears every single Rappager. Now micros forward. This is a close game still. Like this is honestly just been a crazy game. I don't understand. Oh. Wait, does the Toss not win? He's gonna attack with five roach and a brood, isn't he? Ah, he rebuilt lynx. That's brilliant. I feel like the thing I could really use is lings. Without adrenal glands, without any upgrades against the potential of plus three zealids. Like a single zealot would probably be able to take out. This army, oh no, please this Templar storm. Storm yourself, storm yourself. There's only one link. Sad. Dude, this game is way closer than I thought it would be. He starts mining again. TOS is still on mining because he has this base now. 62 workers. I love this move. Resources are scarce. He's like, you know what? What would be a good move? Sending my Zurglings into a dead trap. He's lucky that the Tos didn't pay attention. These Zirglings should have been dead. I guess a lot of them are kind of dead. That's like giving away a lot of money right there. How actually is the Zerg going to lose this? See, just sit back, do nothing and then lose eventually, I guess? I mean, he's up-im workers once this base finishes. He also still has a lurker then, doesn't he? I'm glad that that hasn't been used at all. That probably would not have been used for it all against stalkers. I guess there's a couple of immortals now as well. Brutlord Lurker though is a composition. Good luck killing that. It's not a real composition, but against this army it probably would do okay. A couple more ravagers, nice. He's just gonna get blasted, but the TOS Micro is very good. Individual Blink stalker Micro, like just the way he moves his units is actually impressive and this guy is just continuously standing in storm. I'm not too sure about that, bling. Eh, I can't live with it. It is just blasted. Completely over. Actually forgets the Gigi. Actually forgot to Gigi. My friend, my friend, my friend. Your queen push failed. And the goddess of victory didn't just smile at you. She basically handed you to win. Like, this game was so over. Like, actually, so extremely over. I have no clue how you managed to lose this. It is simply impressive, to say the least. you probably, you had so many options. Like literally anything would have been fine, but you just sat there, floated like three, three and a half K resources. I have no clue why you did that. You had larva available. You had buildings available. You started bleeding out worker after worker, after worker, after worker, never rebuilding them, never expanding towards a fifth, never changing your composition away from roaches. Why would you not just go into lurkers? Why would you not just go into banlings? Why would you not just add two or three investors into your Brutlord army? Like, there's so many questions that I have. And I don't even want to ask them to you because I feel like looking at this game, looking at your, the level of decisions that you make, your answers probably will just confuse me even more. I don't want to ever hear from you again. Got that? You suck. And you suck really hard, buddy. Nice. All right, that's going to be it for this episode of Is It Inbar?
