Is NA Strong After All?! Chinese Top 100 GM vs NA Diamond Pleb | Is It IMBA Or Do I Suck 

He didn’t even run out of novas, most of the time he just never shot them. The low mmr instinct to just spam them all is bad but it’s better than letting all your ruptors die without shooting lol

If you can't control your disruptor just build colossi and A move

even pro players do this im starting to think im wasting my time messing with a separate hotkey

His disruptor shots were not good. Some were decent, but many of them didn’t zone the terran at all and he just ends up running his disruptors into his army. He uses his disruptors like my 3.4k toss.

I put my disruptor on hot key 😄

woah why is the server being shut down?...

@@iamLI3 Blizzard decided not to work with the Chinese agency company(Netease) as they want more portion of income in China. They also want Netease develops mobile games under blizzard's IPs as they saw how much money they could get in Diablo immortal. However, Blizzard probably said they want complete control of mobile games (gain all the revenue) and will not pay Netease any money. The very first sign was around December, Blizzard suddenly announce that they will not work with Netease without finding the next agency company. And then we know some meeting information (between Netease and Blizzard) when we hear from the Netease announcement. For the majority of Chinese players, Blizzard shows their dishonesty and laziness time and time again through disappointing decisions (for example: getting political in e-sport) and less promising updates over the passing years. As a result, Blizzard games are not likely to gain much revenue if any Chinese companies want to the agency (due to the losing fan base). I wish this information could help you understand the reasons for shutting down the server in China and why not a single company in China want to agency Blizzard's games.

@@iamLI3In short The fucking blizzard want more money and the Chinese company said no

@@stormavenger3728 wow , so after all that hard work they did to destroy their brand so they could gain access to the chinese gaming market , they went and destroyed that relationship too because the chinese wanted money and control and with a surprised pikachu face blizard said no they want all the money and control , good i hope they all crash and burn......

@@iamLI3 The law in China requires foreign companies to have some form of agency or joint venture to enter the Chinese market. Netease has done a great job in the agency, for example, maintaining servers in China (CN server), holding e-sports events(even after Blizzard stops updating their games), and keeping workshops in the CN server (for WOW, now we see many workshops destroy the environment of other servers). I think it is fine if Netease takes some money and the meeting between Netease and Blizzard was all about this issue. I think the real issue here is Blizzard being too greedy. Overall, we shall see want will Blizzard do in January.

Or he's a smurf GM that is trying off race.

Thanks mate, same back to you!

@@hamster_designs thank you

I think you're giving a diamond player way too much credit

@@space_orphan I'm mostly being sarcastic. There can be advantages to weird timings, but what a late widow mine drop gains in out of position stalkers it loses in increased map vision and lower percentage economic damage, so it's utterly pointless even if it was intentional. The lack of a 4th mine is also just stupid, a diamond protos isn't going to realise there should have been 4 mines.

Agreed, great information in this one

Those Chinese noodle bowls are tall and mighty

Why are you hounding others to provide validation?

I'm sure the no GG made the Diamond's victory even sweeter

I really don't get this stupid obsession with "gg" that people have. It's a tournament (and I guess highest level ladder) thing, most people on ladder don't say it. I usually don't say it either, I'll sometimes say "wp" when I'm in good mood and don't feel like the game was annoying bullshit but that's about it. People on internet watching scII replays always acting like it's some super meaningful thing is kinda cringe to me.

@@kadiea8664 It's called good sportsmanship something that I realize is probably dead these days. But yeah just forget about being a decent person.

@@Broformist I think you must be facing a some salty opponents, it's generally the assumption that leaving the game without a word means you mad

Are you a SCV ?

And especially great with the editor’s visual additions!

Yeah, that was very good macro. Can be hard to tell from resources banked because terran queuing, but even with losing big chunks of marauders they very quickly got up another sizeable bio force, got pretty fast upgrades, amd Also had a pretty good army comp, with a lot of marauders, a few Mariens, transition into a good number of +2 liberators and a few ghosts. Made far to many medivacs, but aside from that it was bassically as good as he could get.

You're automatically better though because you know you suck and dont claim anything is imba

Including TheSeed from that Purity and Industry game?

@@lelouchvibritannia7809 I don't remember that one by name, but I'm already giggling from imagining the utter clusterfuck that game must be if you point it out like that xD

even the silver league Protoss who lost to widow mines?

Because most decent players on CN server doesn't actually play on CN server. Instead they play on Asian/Korean Server. Some of them plays European server as well with around 200 ping. But mostly when they are training they play on KR server. So on CN server, there isn't a huge difference between diamond and grandmaster.

Can confirm, that's canon!

How ... is ... that ... even ... possible??? I am not joking, or judging, just, how???

Did you mean lair? Don't some of the missions start you with hydras?

I know he's complained about sensor towers before... not in IMBA, but in one of his games or when he was talking about balance patch... forget where, but I know he's mentioned them before. Also the guardian shield and anti armor thing that he mentioned in this video he's made comments about before... other than that I don't think so hah.

ghosts / EMP are extremely strong, BC are hard to deal with at lower levels, widow mines get way more value than they should sometimes, but he's never said it's imba

I prefer cheese for my burger. So I kinda wish this had been a cannon rush :p

If this was rank roulette i would guess master 3 or D1. By my observations, usually master is a league, when players starts to have micro and macro. When harstem is not flaming too much the build order. But the difference between low master and high master is understanding the game mechanics, and having a good plan. Understanding what is happening on map and responding. Here we had a good micro and macro. Micro and macro was way better then mine. But ... God. Seeing how this dude just exposed stalkers realy seemed like a gift to a Terran.

He probably has rapidfire enabled for the liberator sieges

which Type of food? Burger? Pizza?

"I've always wondered how the skill levels at different MMRs compared between different servers. " I mean, you can just play on whatever server you want (except CN). The general rule is KR > EU > NA > SEA. Although anecdotally (back during heart of the swarm) the gap between EU and NA was not that large, like maybe half a division. SEA...I never bothered connecting to SEA but from all I heard it was a joke. I remember someone saying that everyone on SEA just connected to KR or NA anyway, so anyone who wanted to could basically go on SEA and get GM if they just played enough games. And KR was miles ahead of everyone else, as you might expect, like...probably two divisions higher at some points on ladder. CN, of course, you can't connect to, due to the great firewall.

*Grandmaster. Top 100 - supposedly.

Found the terran

Yeah but he ignores that so it's fine

I would suspect it's uthermal if the micro is excellent.

Wait this literally happened though, in an episode where the Protoss complained about cyclones and mines.

They don't really play Starcraft there. It's probably top 100 in his city and there's only a few hundred players.

Half screen big. Diameter of 5 inches

Yeah America is a pretty sexually depraved place. Modern day Sodom and Gamorrah. Jesus said if you look at a woman with lust you're committing adultery in your heart, what a strong start to a marriage.🤦 And ya'll probably confused why divorce rate is over 50%

Came here to say that.

Units ignore them until all nearby damage-dealing units are dead. If you want to focus Medivacs, then you target multiple Medivacs with individual small groups of Stalkers so as to not overkill. That's super hard to do in the middle of a fight. And I don't even think it's worth it, sometimes it's best to reduce the opponents DPS outright by killing a few frontilne units. In a long, non-bursty engagements, Medivacs provide a lot more value

As a pure sc2 viewer: If you kill the medivacs, the enemy has their dps units left and will walk over you. If you kill their dps units, the medivacs will fly away, but they won't destroy you. Maybe that's part of the reasoning?
