This year is really the year of Harstem. I'm glad to see that you've improved so much. You've been showing very good results this year. I'm already preparing myself for the next year of Harstem. I believe that the road to rank 1 might be finished at some point if you continue your hard work.
You're on fire lately in your gameplay... It's so cool to hear your feedback... it might be a unique benefit of being a streamer other pro gamers don't have... because coaches can listen to your thoughts and feelings and help you practice some calculations, or address when you feel demoralized after setbacks, or overconfident if you ever lose that way... I dunno it looks like you're training, and feels like you're an athlete working their rear off everyday.... you can only get so far on your own... and sometimes someone bored in a chair can point things out that really help be scrappy or tougher... either way, I'm so glad you share your snap decisions during high MMR play into the mic in realtime... I dunno, I'm a scrub... but my armchair insight is be open to accepting help on improving whatever things you could point out need a little work... cause it's amazing seeing you on fire
Dear Harstem, thank you for another amazing video. Several videos ago, you took your time to explain the history of Dutch cheese making and it's relations to organized crime. I a fellow viewer, shared this fact with a Dutch female on our first date, in an attempt to impress her with my multicultural knowledge. To my surprise, she looked rather confused, correcting me on said facts, smirking, birthing into laughter the rest of our evening, making me look like a complete dofus. I will never ever trust anything a StarCraft player shares that is unrelated to build orders again. Thank you and have a nice weekend.
Armchair comment here, but you are clearly a much better player when you are confident. I think you knowing you can take maps from Hero and Clem etc. has made the difference. Comments you make now like "hunting for MaxPax" on the ladder legit pumps me up bro. I believe you will be top 5 in the world VERY soon.
Harstem, I love you, you're fun to watch. Please do not fall into the big gaping mouth video thumbnail trend, it's utterly cringe even as a joke. Nothing will make me want to unsub and stop watching you more than that. Don't be one of those people.
