As a fellow wood leaguer, I tell exactly what happened with all the stim issues. First drop: he wasn't sure did stim finish so he didn't try to use it. Fights with ghosts in the composition: the mental loop of press-stim -> notice ghosts are selected -> press tab -> press stim takes legit 2 seconds. That's why army doesn't move and multiple storms hit. Once storms hit, panic sets in and furious move-commanding ensues. Also, once panic has hit, stuff like spreading becomes impossible because your mind already shut down. And once mind has shut down, the rage sets in. Yup, been there. So. Many. Times.

Your turtle analogy is just awesome….. I’ve never heard better analogies in my life…… it’s been a short lonely life but so far best analogies/stories/immaturity/imagination from you dearest friend

what I find very unique and outstanding for this episode of IODIS is that, aside from many other SUCKy aspects of his play, the Terran actually had a pretty solid macro and unit composition and adaptation. If not for hs terrible unit control and several illogical decisions/engagements, he actually played on the level of someone at least 1000 MMR higher.

A terran complaining about vision?

Wow the Dutch guy is becoming a regular on Reynor's show

Lol that bird comment, I'm dying man. Laughed until I cried, that was the tastiest sarcasm.

"I don't think Canada has much oil." -Harstem 2021 Top three countries with largest oil reserves as of November 2020: Venezuela - 304 billion barrels. ... Saudi Arabia - 298 billion barrels. ... Canada - 170 billion barrels. ...

Oh my god I laughed so hard my sides hurt when he landed those vikings.. the look on your face. HAHAHAHA

The terran here shows an impressive representation of "I will get there no matter the cost" on every offensive he ever did. His plan to attack the nexus for exemple, succeeded and failed at the same time : The goal : Reach the Nexus with my army.(He succeeded) What actually happened : he lost everything by trying so hard to reach his goal. Also his army composition is akin to having a bucket of terran units and dumping it on the floor and build whatever comes out. Turns out, he had only 3 medivacs in his bucket filled with marine/marauder.

17:15 - where the game was lost. The Terran accidentally move-commanded instead of stutter-stepping, leading to immense army losses. Otherwise he was just killing the toss. But wait... he was actually still with chances, until 21:12.... MY EYES !!!

I was just now watching Scarlett vs DRG's BO3 (that one where she offraced as Toss), and I just saw you jumping in excitement after Scarlett won the second match

typo in the info popup at 27:44 - of should be if awesome video btw. Very informational and funny!

Spellcasters on a different hotkey or stick with a comp and tab to the right unit. This guy is probably better than me, so I have to assume he doesn't notice he doesn't stim when he owns Ghosts. He just looks back and thinks it wore off already which is why when he *does* stim, he does it every 5 seconds. I can only imagine this is why he doesn't build a Raven to kill the imba Observers. His Ghosts would suddenly stop working.

Shoutout to those storms honestly those templar were doing WORK

I smashed like as soon as I saw the Imba stamp. its beautiful

I actually had to pause within like 30 seconds to vent to myself. The submitter lost to Zealots (ground melee), Colossus (ground+air anti-ground), High Templar (ground splash caster), and Dark Templar (ground stealth melee). There’s this wonderful unit called a Banshee that is actually almost invulnerable against that composition, while also having enough mobility to avoid the caster effects. :) And you can even mix in these other units called a Raven and a Viking to safely find those pesky map hacking robots and assassins.

Was planning to visit my grandfather's grave in Groesbeek War Cemetery. Would love to grab a pint with Harestem when I do!

I love the popups and all the infos and all amazing.

That turtle metaphor was brutal and hilarious and also true

Man, a lot of these terrains complaints boil down to two things: either sheer incompetence or the lack of foresight. Terrans are getting themselves into uncomfortable positions then try to fix their mistake by overmicroing a lot of moving parts. It's better if I ilustrate this with a Harstem Analogy: Imagine that a Terran is playing Tennis and his opponent is about to serve to start the game. Instead of having your Racquet in hand, being crouched, already prepared for a fast ball that has a limited amount of directions in which it can bounce, and already visualizing how it is going to play out. He waits until the ball is already in his side of the court, watches where it bounces first, and then complains that it is literally impossible for him to run back to his locker where he left his Racquet, run all the way back to the court, locate the ball, get into position and then backhand with his non-dominant hand. He needs super human speed and reflexes compared to the player that has to serve and that's completely unfair. I blame pro players for selling this mentality of having to have 600 apm to do anything, when you can just literally siege up and pre-split your army then poke with a handfull of marine/marauders in less than 4 seconds and literally just win

Pros have never advised that you should have high APM - pros do need it but ladder players don't. In fact all pros like Harstem and GM coaches have said you should *never* focus on high APM but instead learn a freaking build order.

EmL is a case study of the long-term psychological effects of being constantly in a state of panic.

I think that's the standard now. Just bragging, people are cringe.

A super insightful moment in this game happens at 21:05 video time that really shows the difference between a pro player and a regular Joe. P has just lost 2 colossus for free a few moments earlier. That's obviously bad. But it wasn't super bad, because the rest of the army was not immediately at risk as a result of losing them. The real fight was still a few seconds away. At 21:05 Harstem gets a lot more interested when watching that flank coming in. That's his focus. Meanwhile, T is focusing on taking out the base. Harstem notes the flank coming several times, reinforcing where the focus should really be. A moment later we see why, and here's the key point: Harstem reacts with a desperate groan *before* the storms are cast. Before! Because of his experience, he knows what's about to happen. And unlike the loss of the colossus, this *is* a critical moment, because the whole terran army is put in danger because of the way it moves, and indeed the whole terran army gets wiped out by the combined splash damage of the colossus on the high ground (now lasering with absolute impunity because the tanks were left undefended) and the psi storm that the terrain practically begged to be cast. Notably, Harstem wasn't saying "this is a bad attack, strategically". No, the attack could have been fine. The problem was the specific micro in response to the specific situation. The rush of blood to kill a base, the loss of situational awareness. My intention here is not to say "the Joe should have seen this coming the way Harstem did". No, Harstem is a pro player with orders of magnitude more experience. I just think it's a perfect example of just how much more is going on in the mind of a pro player.

It's actually a classic diamond/platinum Terran move in TvP. HA! FREE BASE! NEED TO KILL!!! And usually they trade an army for a base. One time I asked a Terran what did he trade the army for. The answer was - don't know. I am shocked by this, because this was a thing in WoL, HotS and still is 10 years later in LotV. Same with drops, they trade the drop for low damage. Like this replay had it all - sacrificial useless late drop. Had he returned with few killed probes, it would be a good damage. But nah, let's sacrifice the drop into the main because reasons! :)
