Episode 5 of season 2. NOOBS IN DISGUISE IS BACK BABY Your 7th favourite starcraft II duo lambo and harstem are back to give you some insane Noob in disguise action. Email for replays: Harambosc2@gmail.com
This was so wholesome to watch 😂 this is how sc2 was meant to be played: 2 dudes having no idea what they're doing, just trying stuff and having a great time
this reminds me myself when I was 11-12 years old and I didnt understand english and I played starcraft1, ofc as terran with 1factory on 1base, maxed on tanks :D yeah my first understanding of stim was they were losing hp but I had no clue why. But those guys knew about youtube, about this channel. Which means they know progamers which means they either had to watch previous episodes or Harstem/Lambo playing. So terran had to have some knowledge of the game. Imho they were kids, just having fun playing this awesome game.
@@nonamenosurname8516Yeah, I thought stim was bad. Had a weird understanding of hp and loved to not have wounded units, as a bit of a perfectionist/OCD type. There were no healing units in non-broodwar sc1, so I preferred regenerating Zerg and Protists shield. Never considered the "small" stim boost to be worth fourth of my hp and my cute portrait/schematics getting all injured and red.
Games like these often are way more entertaining than pro matches. They can have drama where the players spend half the time typing to each other. They can have suspense, where you are just sitting there hoping that a player will FINALLY attack with their army or something. They can have plot twists, where a maxed out army is traded to kill a singular pylon or depot. Love it.
The thing that low MMR games have is just sometimes there is a bond of brothership between two struggeling players and they start to chat and they become friends.
As someone who recently was subjected to watching someone play their first game of sc2, I can wholeheartedly say these guys are waaaaaay too good to be that new to the game. They could move their screen for one. And knew that units were a thing that could be created.
That makes me think of an idea. What if as part of a time filler for a tournament there's a few matches between like the parents of some of the players? Like just put them on a chair in front of a computer without ever having played sc2 before.
The help menu (F12) was actually what got me into the game. I would just see my opponent's units, check F12 for what units counter it, check the tech tree on how to reach that unit, build them, then figure out how they work. Slight problem with Dark Templar was the first step of "seeing my opponent's units" :'D but I figured it out eventually.
I remember back when I didn’t know meta or builds or what units did. The game was so “wondrous” back then and the possibilities were endless haha. It’s almost like the more you know the less magical and more predictable the game becomes. Seems these two had a great game.
The Terran knows exactly 2 things. He's supposed to expand, especially against a 1-2 base opponent, and that marines are the best unit in the game. He doesn't know the context of either, but that's what he knows, and he's sticking to it. I do have to give him credit for not panicking during the canon rush though. He ignored it, and expanded away from it instead of throwing thousands of resources at it like many players do. He also clearly took the time to figure out detection in the middle of the game so that he could both make ravens and have attack move them to properly follow the marines instead of running to their death ahead of the rest of the army.
Wow. That sure was a game, don't think I've been as enthralled by a game in a long time, though in this case it was due to just not comprehending the decisions. To the submitter, cool on ya for actually submitting this, I don't think I'd be able to do that, and thank you for a good laugh.
Bro is right clicking his Ravens to follow marines, moving marines in separate control group AND spliting his army and guys think this is bronze. Unreal!
I totally get the real mmr if we look at the protoss, not amazing, but seemed aware of what was going on. The terran just made a build so incredibly insane that it worked
27:36: Before they make their guesses, i will make mine. I thought all game that Hypothetical was a smurf in lower leagues than he belonged, with a dumb challenge for himself, inspired by Harstems Beat GM with stupid stuff. Although, he might be around platinum or maybe high gold himself (he studderstepped his marines in the end so probably not silver or low gold). Although, the protoss seemed VERY low and is the one being trolled. I think the protoss is silver though. EDIT: Yeah the techlabs are a very good point. A plat with a mission would probably have made reactors actually :D Well, at least my silverguess was correct :)
This falls into the category of: How many people do these builds just beat straight up. Cannon rush gets you out of bronze. Planetary rush on 82 bases gets you out of bronze. They are rubbish builds but those builds are super strong and just win games with no other sc2 skills.
I can see the progression of this players through the leagues and the imbalance complaints. This was the 'MARINES ARE SO IMBA' phase. A bit higher will be the 'CARRIERS and DT IMBA'. Then we figure out detection and it's back to 'MARINES IMBA'. Then we figure out colosus are in the game and it's 'COLOSUS IMBA'!!!
Cat took two gasses immediately but waited until five minutes to build his first gas structure. This was a high-iq play designed to confuse the SCV scout. Harstem, take notes
What should we put in the email apart from the replay(s) ? Should we spoil the game ? Not say anything about the game ? Tell the league ? Not tell ? Basically what do you expect in the email apart from the replay ?
i have the theory, that the terran is a campaign enjoyer, you can easily finish the terran campaign on normal with marines only and i also believe that stim activates automaticlly. also in the campaign the techlab and reactor are getting merged togheter
I don't know if anyone ever gets placed in bronze - even if they lose all 5 placement matches. These guys may have artificially inflated MMR and are gradually working their way down to where they'll be competitive. Good on them for having fun though, SC2 pretty quickly runs out of fun once you start caring about your MMR.
BTW your MMR range call of how low it goes is wrong: I got 938 MMR on my Terran on one account because I lost so many games on purpose on it the last 2 seasons :-D Bronze 3 and the MMR bar is empty even though I've won 6 games on it already this season lol
