Beating GrandMasters while being AFK?? | BGMWSS #9 

I enjoyed the video until you cheated and used the energy from the main base nexus. Still liked because of the wink.

3:54 Your attempt to disgiuse the fart by coughing was unsuccessful.

it's genuinely hilarious to see how much fun you're having with these challenges. Especially with this one your laughter was contagious for me, Great content!

lmao from "xd" into no gg :DD

He cant atack me before I have a colossus out *marine walks into view* Seriously the comwdic timing is just flawless, this has to be scripted

Imagine... pretending to be afk vs pretending to be afk

This was a lot of fun. I would have liked to see your 3rd base be a "hidden base" at your original spawn.

Challenge idea 1: "No one left behind". Conserve units as much as possible, no intentional sacrifices or dice rolls (as in, "let's send two adepts there, maybe they'll live, maybe not, but they're going to get their money's worth"), and if it turns out you produced more than 400 supply worth of units, lose the next match. Using that approach, achieve 1.5:1 win/loss ratio over more than 10 matches, or get a smurf account to GM only using this tactic. Challenge idea 2: no scouting. Observers are only allowed to watch over units and own bases with approaches directly next to them. No sending units just to see what your opponent is doing. Challenge idea 3: "The Mass Switcheroo". The general rule: choose any combat unit and try to win using any number of them, but only them. You are allowed to make up to 5 gateway units above the rule (but that's just 5 across the entire match, so no remaking), and you can have up to 5 observers at any time (meaning, those can be remade). Every match, choose a different unit. You are not allowed to mass the same unit again until you run out of units. Using that approach, smurf to GM.

4:10 listening to Harstem cheeky laugh is the best thing that happened to me this year.

8:02 “the only thing he isn’t allowed to do is scout around” *gets scouted by probe

That play at 21:48... it was like you tempted the terrans with a "misplay" and slipped in a juke unnoticed haha.

For he's a jolly good Terran, that nobody can supply

Marine Marauder Marauder walk into Harstem's base... Harstem: "...After I scouted Marine Marauder Marauder" XD

Now do that in an offline tournament!

Opponent: *pulls all probes* Him: “so you have chosen death”

I tried this and lost a few games but ended up winning vs a protoss. Was glorious. He cannon rushed me but made like 6/7 cannons leaving him too far behind, in the meantime I had 2 bases up and got DT's out. HAHA.

22:18 When you actually managed to do it

so how about dem replays? :P that last game was beautiful, the terran should definitely submit it to IODIS

I loooove how you're geniunly excited and having mad fun doing this it makes it so much funnier ! Using the nexus's chronoboosts is fine but i'm also pretty sure that if you had 13 probes he wouldn't notice you could be cheeky harExtreme Also I had never seen a 3racks I do not understand the purpose of this build beside evolving into bio multi drops maybe ? But what's the point compared to your usual reaper expand ?

I think the problem is that this was a popular trick about 8 years ago. We are all trained to check around before writing it down as afk. A tip maybe to take different expands, the corners are too obvious.

this is my fav BGMWSS by far

try the "has left the game" meme with terran

Thanks for the wink

"I need a little more gas for that" ;)

Happy New Year Harstem and thanks for this gift! Karaks is low gm from Russia so he is quite suitable for this challenge

I would love to see two people face each other of acting they are afk xD

This is such a fun strategy, I love it! Oh, and you should switch out the cigarettes for some snus.

great content, my only feedback is that it would have been potentially funny to see through the opponents cam to see if they stopped doing or started anything after discovering the afk base.

16:33 the commentary and reaction was just pure gold LMAO

I seriously hope the next IODIS episode is "Protoss pretend AFK is way too strong. Collossus is OP! REEE"

I enjoy the video, if i may hv a suggestion. 5 minutes into the game if you still hvnt been scouted, i suggest u bring over all your probes and leave the starting probes back.

I love how dedicated you are to such a terrible strategy and don't even care if you win, as long as you trick him lol :D

Bless you! It's definitely soup season ❤️

awesome video ^^ thank you for your incredibles videos ^^

Hi Harstem, did you ever deal with wrist or arm pain from playing Starcraft so much? If yes, how did you combat it? I really want to improve but it's hard because my hands start hurting after 2 hours of playing.

This was amazing. Thank you so much you made my Day! That was awesome!

I would do a double afk and pop a base in both corners just for maximum troll factor

that reaction 16:37 hahaah lol

One of your best videos yet!

So fun

Here's a tweak. Just move to the Lower Left corner instead. Only left handed people search it! :D

Here's one. A viewer said "Kevin never stop building probes and bases either he's winning or losing" on your twitch stream. I wonder if you can win if you actually don't stop building probes for the whole game (for all of your nexus)! It may sound easy but I think it is really difficult.

Not sure why your 2nd proxy nex is so close to his 3rd. Why does Harstem like to expand towards the enemy too? Maybe it’s in case enemy scouting but not sure

Meesterlijk gast

why don't you start your gasses earlier? you don't lose mining time since you're toss, and it doesn't delay your production that requires only minerals (i.e. core, pylons, probes) since it's only 75 minerals. Had you had gasses earlier, you would have had stalkers earlier too.

That last game was epic! lol

I like your vids, subscribed

I really like harstem, he is so sarcastic and funny. But i hate when he does the cough-thing. It sounds really disgusting ^^

Love that you did an ICYFAR challenge

Idea: something like 2 gate charge You are only allowed to build other units than zealots/ different tech once charge is researched

Lol i used this strat today (MMR around 2500), and fooled 3 out of 5 opponents.

that was cheeky

People only click on your vids to see you wink

That was insane

Why are you saturating your main with your expo nexus? The distance traveled, would be better if they went straight to their expo minerals.

You should gl:hf the second he kills your nexus.

this is amazing

This was so much fun 😂

Great one as usual xD

4:51 watching this now after seeing the confidence trip he was agan on in his second video he tried and failed at this ... spoiler: he never learned. There is no advantage in losing your base for a 1s emotional damage ...

next gsl strat confirmed

lmao I would probs uninstall after losing to this bs

I am thinking a see "the joker" while watching this....

This is cool! Why so much clicking though? You are not even doing anything lmao

Here's one. You are not allowed to build a single structures in your main base. Not a even a pilon. This seems to be really stupid.

Damn I wish you would have gl hf him right after he killed ur main

睡梦罗汉拳

think dark shrine in the pvp even with one nexus will be also good

I cant even win qualification to get into the ranking plays and I played this game since Brood War... No matter what I do I just get destroyed on first attack or when they are poking me all the time i cant do shit and just leave :S

You should be a real magician and type AFK then just attack.... hahahahaa

The 2.0 version is here if you haven't seen it yet! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FLKc5wwo7a0.html

You remind me so much of Joltz

3:13 Horse Tim activated

What is wrong with that T? all he need is to mass tanks

should gl hf after the nexus kill

High apm but 80 percent of it is just doing nothing

is it a 2 player map¿

16:36 the realist face palm ever recorded.

dude i fucking love you

3:45, game start!

probe rush next please

at the start of the game pause the game and say afk and let it count down tilli t ends

We actually did it

Do this in a tournament LUL

You should type something like "ah lol" "nr10? =)" awhile after he scouts you, it will sell the afk and lower his guard also it allows you to micro the probes

ahahaha

lmao

What’s your advantage by making him think you’re afk? I don’t see any, you only handicap yourself

If you played like this, I'm pretty sure I could beat you, and I'm nowhere near GM lol.

the second guy was cheating, there is no way u send a probe this way in this situation and exactly at this place. Isimba.misery.ok

what an horrible button mashing yuck
