The pure joy Harstem shows when the opponent went to 0 APM at 13:42 just brightens my day - every time an opponent is seriously fooled, or has some crazy response to a cheesy play, Harstem's joy comes out.. If it turned out Harstem was in fact Loki, the trickster god, i would not be surprised.
I flew to Korea last year to see GSL live before Artosis left. I wore my Day9 shirt I've had since like 2010. I got on camera and Artosis mentioned the shirt. Day9 and the legacy he left behind is still alive and well. Love you bros.
I feel bad for not even questioning the pronunciation of AZZRHAPIST until like half way through that replay when I finally actually looked at the name and was like wait a minute...
Your "pretending to be afk" vids are among my favourites. A true classic or a well matured cheese. But the fact that these are viewer replays mean we get serious variety in the execution. I'd live to see another episode of this, or maybe some mineral stealing challenge.
This was a real treat. Enjoyed the game by mcj. And the glgl was awesome by bumzz. Good challenge. 👍 Would like to see more cheese from the community to see how well the captain has trained.
This challenge is all about fully committing to a fiction, and in the spirit of this, Harstem is the consummate professional as he does not once deviate from his dutiful pronunciation of ozzerhoppist. A thousand times, I salute you, Captain.
When I saw the name AZZRHAPIST I was sure he would be the person trolling. I think Crosshair wins easy that last game too if he doesnt panic and pull SVCs before his 4 cyclones are back, he needed to do the opposite and run them away and try to buy time, if he wants to kill your infrastructure let him.
I tried to get a W doing this challenge last night, really wanted to send you a replay of a gold level fake afk, probably lost 5 games before I had to go to bed. I don’t think any of my opponents ever realized i was “afk”. Sad I couldn’t catch a W to send in, but was still fun and super cool to see all the success from others ! Great community challenge 👍🏻
If you roll up on a base and it looks like they player is AFK. Pause the game and say "you look AFK unpause when ready" AND THEN THE TRUE MIND GAMES BEGIN
very good video, i loved it. surprisingly interesting to see this strategy in action, never thought about it when playing the game. wonder if anyone has tried it in brood war?
If anything this shows how repetitive starting in known positions can be in Starcraft. The loss of predictability is the most tilting thing to the opponent because early game play tends to assume you know where each other are. It'd be interesting to see how random spawn locations would affect the meta, and this is common in some other RTS games.
A Terran AFK-er, SHOULD come back when enemies in their base... And say "omg my bad I was afk" then fly cc to corner and say "draw please?" And continue to play.
