Harstem complaining about cannons being used for defense while also can in rushing is probably my favorite new thing.

Harstems constant shit-talking is so goddamn entertaining. God bless you, you mad canon rusher.

Whenever I'm cheesing on the ladder, I hear in my mind "Here comes the cheese" (to the tune of "Here comes the sun") sung in Harstem's voice

That second game with the immortal rush was so funny hahaha

Agreed. I think robo/immortal would've been better but if you build a fleet beacon you gotta use fleet beacon tech

On the post youth map you can actually use quite effectively gasses from natural base cos they are so close to main, while cheesing-so youre not getting natural base. This helps to get higher influx of gas without the need of investing into another base that early.

the "serral" game is SpeCial like you guessed, it's been passed around a bit

Well played!

Excelente bro. Me gustó

sick games well done

I would build a forge vs. cannon rush every game if it was necessary. Cannon rush is a strat that's easy to execute and hard to counter, so having counters like that that make the rushers cry is genius for me.

OMG, non-stop unfiltered Harstem stream of consciousness 😂 what a treat. Thank you Captain! 🫡 Also lol at the forge response (me forge = good / you forge = illegal! 👿😂)

The observer was actually visible at 30:08

GG Fun games, how dare cannon defenders defend against cannon rushers!

an Observor gives you observation.

the immortal opener was brutal for that terran

I think on game 2 a good distraction to pull apart his stalker ball would be to mine out the wide ramp

Harstem about to get it on: 1:24

"Floating like a butterfly is pretty useless if you don't sting like a bee." Wise words, Cap'n 🫡

what earbuds is harstem using?

Also, if you have ever actually watched a butterfly, they don't look like the greatest at flying. A lot of flapping for very little movement or stability.

Harstem, why are you always letting your units take so much hull damage? It ended up costing you the void ray game. You had critical mass at 5 void rays, and lost 2 for no reason because he could target the weak ones.

ok, i don't agree with the 'illegal' or 'easy way' analysis here - it's a game of survival and he survived without cheating the game in any way. I don't care much what has to happen in the game of survival, I just want to be sure I am on the right side at the end. 😉

Lol, Harstem being butt hurt bc they owned his silly proxy with a forge is pathetic

Even if it's as a joke, imagine bitching about defense cannons when you're doing the lowest of noobs moves : the cannon rush. I can't believe people are still doing this sewer-tier shit in Master League.

I cant stand it when they just put cannons in their base. It is such a dumb response.

wuuuuuuu

Cheesiest man alive? Idunno about that... Uthermal cheeses during tournaments.

"We don't count this as a loss, it was a mental victory..." I haven't played since 03, looked like the op made a counter, maybe not a conventional one, and the streamer didn't like that and hit the gg.

21:26 Goes for a cannon rush and gets salty that his opponent destroys him with the same thing. Classic protoss cry baby.

*WORST* Harstem episode I've ever seen... Like... wtf was all that man? O_o
