@mamaj3016 diamond is low rank... But harstem also keeps mentioning he wants to see it with people who've never played star craft before. And I feel that be more entertaining lol
The Captain on Iodis or casting: "you suck so hard you're about to become a black hole. I have never seen worst micro/macro/whatever in my entire StarCraft career" The Captain when guiding his team after losing a unit "you are perfect in every way and did an awesome job my little underling UwU"
We need a real Protoss threat in live tournaments. Hero is ok but he makes poor decisions more often then other pros. IMO If Harstem would try diversity in his builds he could go far.
It's so refreshing to see someone who competes at his level, has a very competitive attitude, and is often very hard on himself treat these players with such respect and encourage them the way he does. I think he truly understands what is important in the moment, and how to build others up when they need it most. These games could have gone very differently if he would have let his face come across through his words. Congrats to all involved!
This is far and away my favorite video you have done. It is insanely good at showing decision making in real-time, while being very entertaining as well. Great job to all of you!
Now this is the way to share build orders. I've seen streamers explain only half the build order and assume us bronze players understand the rest. This is good work captain. More of this please, also fun to watch.
this was the most entertaining series of matches I've seen in a while. The games were incredibly close most of the time with plenty of mistakes and comebacks beind made. Watching Harstem's reactions to the mistakes (understandably) being made was peak entertainment.
Among all your videos and works I've seen, I think you being able to do your best to be wholesome to less experienced players and helping them trust themselves is by far my favorite. Also I imagine it helped you learn a bit, in that I don't know how often you do that, but having to see everything and *act* on everything without having the burden to do it might help gradually teach a few things ? Not denying your very good level in SC2, just a thought that crossed my mind and wanted to express in case it might be true. I'd love some similar content. Not necessarily the same, but it was refreshing. You're pretty wholesome in general but having to contain your frustration and try to help them thrive was very very heartwarming. Also just, Alexandria, I loved the way you managed a lot of things, that was impressive and even though i'm only a newbie watching vids mostly, the way you acted and expressed yourselves and did the thing was strikingly good, and I didn't think I would see that ! Other players were nice too, just, you're the one I'll keep in mind from this video I think.
This is just affirming what I was thinking for along time now. Harstem should become a tactician/couch for pro players. don't know if its a thing in SC2 like it is in LoL, but he'll be really good at it.
What a fun format! It would be interesting to pit Harstem and his team against a solo player of higher rank (eg. master or grandmaster) in a similar format. The player with the shrieking voice was trying to draw the attention to himself a little too often, but other than that I enjoyed it a lot and hope we'll see more of it.
They would destroy a regular GM with eZ! But with a little bit more practise and one or two more players in their team, they could take on a pro player and it would become very close, i think.
This is so funny, especially the match around 1hr 10min. The amount of times they messed up the main army or ran into a disruptor you were just staring at was hilarious. As well as your over the top reactions but just "no no, that was perfect, great job" to the most horrendous mistake you've ever seen LMAO
What Kevin said "that's okay, that's a mistake and mistakes happen" What Kevin's face said "if you just don't micro over a spore I wouldnt need to find your family" 😂 entertaining stuff
hahah love the play in the last game. Harstem sets up the strategy with an independently controlled Raven flank that manages to interference matrix the same colossus twice. Still wins the game, terran op. I'd definitely watch more tournaments like this! I'm sure it would create a great following & community if you could get some of your other pro-player friends to participate adopt some lower tier players and fight it out.
OMG this is so good but also so cringe at the same time. I Woudl also love to see the postgame coaching sessions and preparations, which would make this even more entertaining to see if everyone can execute on the perfect plan of the captain (or imperfect to be fair ^^)
people have such a hard time following directions...: "ang youre in trouble you need to leave" "should i leave" "yes you need to leave five minutes ago" as his entire army is wiped without killing a single unit... this was also insanely entertaining to watch
Harmstem you should do something like this with pro players. Like Mappax focuses 100% on macro, and then you have parting work 100% on microing his heart out on every attack
We neeeeed a whole tournament in this format of pros coaching diamond and below players. Maybe some tournaments can have different even lower limits. Can you imagine an all silver tournament? 😂
slightly anticlimactic last game, but amazing video. I hope you do this again. I think his name was Reaper, but the diamond doing macro was the hidden MVP
