Do NOT. I repeat. Do NOT put a pylon there. Pylons do NOT have a base.

Love how Pig conveniently ignored that the turret he declared useless did massive damage like 3 minutes later. "Units don't spawn here". In plat, sometimes they do Pig lol.

Gotta be honest, the rectally-inclined pylon bit had me cry-laughing because it caught me off-guard.

...... Time to start up my 3d printer .... I have a great idea

"Oh my god, he's building silver league turrets. They won't hut anything, stuff won't spawn from the edge of the map behind his natural" 2 minutes later, the silver league turrets kill like 2 void rays and heavily damage another. They are still very silly most of the time, but sometimes things just work.

“Massive snipe on the starport to stop his opponent from building medivacs for his mech army” 😂😂😂😂

I like how PiG takes the scientifically accurate word 'anus' and replaces it with butt to make it more acceptable to the audience haha.

12:50 Hurtone only making probes from one nexus physically hurt me

15:33 funny you mentioned this... Always look at my replays and think "no matter how much i practice I can't hit this timing if the opponent rabdomly throws a wrench in my plans", so I'm grinding a build that is easy but failing bc I'm getting thrown off my game. Normally this would be humbling but this is actually not humbling and a 4th wall break for me Curtain gets peeled and i realized how low grade this is. This is exactly the reason i went back to sweating in single player games. The game won't do something unexpected to yank the mat from my feet. There's only gradual improvement and rage because I don't understand the game. My favourite things to do in a game.

for what it's worth with the whole silver league turret thing i'm pretty sure at low level people tend to try and fly along the edges to get to the mineral line so they do tend to do ok there. their still not good but a surprising amount of people will just send their flying hit squad down the side of the map and look away.

Loved the salt Loved the sweet commentary Loved the umami denial from chat

When you play with a barcode, you lose any right to complain about your opponent's strategy.

Ironically Pig's bullet comment was what Mcnamara, policy wonks came up with in vietnam. Hence a push towards the M-16 and 5.56 Nato round.

The whole over-clicking thing... you're describing paintball. Double triggers and shooting while reloading hoppers spilling 1/3 of the balls.

This is why I play SC2 drunk. This way if I ever did submit a reply to you I could be like "I normally am this shit, because I'm 3 sheets to the wind!"

as a plat terran, this is exactly what my games look like i was going through one of my better replays and realised my opponent flew a warp prism full of high energy templar into a bunker with 4 marines i had at my third base and it died with all templar inside during the actual game, i had no idea this even happened edit: that salt was worth the wait holy shit lmaooooooo

One of the best series on YT!

in these episodes can we have a count for each race that rage? X Zerg Y Protoss Z Terran

Funny how based on the insults you can tell where this guy was from lol.

I felt too friendly this morning so I had to come and watch the latest Salt Mines!

this is probably the hardest i've laughed in a salt mines episode

one of the best! Awesome commentary again PiG xD

Regarding The difference in servers: There is a difference. Asia is more difficult (probably because of lesser players). I was always playing in EU, Diamond 1. Moved to Asia, and have _never_ entered Diamond 1, but hard stuck in diamond 2. Now when i am struggling against terran (as a zerg) my mmr is as low as 3500 in Asia. Although, easily killed 3,8k people in EU when i went over there for a shorter session. There is not much of a difference, but there is one. Sidenote: Most Diamond 2 players in Asia average a lot more apm than me, and i have around 220 or so on average. They range from 300-450. The last time i was in EU, my dear protoss opponent with 3,8k had 100 apm. :)

Salt mines is the best SC2 series on the internet. This shit is gold.

19:20: You think DTs are gonna distract him? Have you forgotten the Reaper micro?? His brain is in attack mode! I doubt he's even noticed his base under attack for the last minute. This man is an unshakeable focus god!

That was extra funny with PiG commentating

tbf 2:25 making Barcode drill just 1 finished pylon cost him so much mining time it's a gain.

Missed opportunity! You could have told us about how railroad got railed! Possibly by a pylon. Thanks for the cast mate.

In real war - [dis]assembly and cleaning of weapons. That shit even has competitions.

23:06 i lost it LMFAO

All i can hear is Rick Flair going WOOH LOL

this one was absolutely wild 😂😂

We need the HOT balance patch analysis from you PiG

So does the upgrade for the tempest only work on buildings that are landed?

Not only an exciting game some nice salt to top it off at the end.

pretty sure the wildest insults you'd ever hear would be from a hearthstone match thank god there's no chat in that game, it'd be insane :)

That barcode strongly resembles to me the vocabulary of my barcode Salter that was casted by Pig about a year ago. (Salt Mines ep 11)

Seeing those famous Terran tears once again is a pure delight, especially those with high APM who are basically doing garbage at fast pace. Can't believe this was a Diamond 3 game btw

No way this is diamond 3 😂😆

"The more bullets you shoot the better" You're actually not wrong. Artillery kills, bullets supress

second favorite serie. Florencio files leads!

I'm a gold terran. last night I played against a plat and won. I watched the replay and saw that his macro was as shit as mine, I just won becasue I scouted his proxy bc.

YESSS time for my daily salt intake. Also, there are bots in the comments! Beware!

1:30 holy over reaction

14:21 are those chrome logos?

YESSSSSSS SALT MINES!!!!

Looks like no PiG webcam anymore for this year's Salt Mines

Pro paintball is like that, shoot even if you’re not aiming, the more you put down the more chance you have to hit someone lol but yea.

What is the 2ndary effect he was starting to talk about at 9:45 ?

best show on yt

Like honestly I was a bit surprised when PiG said high plat. Not because of the strategies, but just because the average APM on hurtone seems *really* low for high plat. Like, yes, it's not everything, but there is a point where low APM gets in the way of... actually doing things. If he's D3 on that APM, congrats, that's impressive!

That is the best part of SC....the flame game whithin the game. Kinda like hockey. "What, you wanna go bro?!".....punch punch punch......Alright, back to the game :D

Entertaining game actually

terran REALLY has problems with people placing their Dark Shrines wherever they like

Isn't the reloading analogy actually an accurate depiction of warfare with muskets.

Man as a terran mech player this shit is painfull, like I'm far from perfect but damm this video hurt my soul.

Pylons should transform probes into zealots.

This is so freaking funny. Sc2 is so stressfull...emotions are cooking after that match :D I dont know if there is a game, where u get instulted more than after a long sc2 match xD

19:53

That’s gold 1 at max. No way it’s plat.

You have a salt vault? Of course. Of course you do.

Nah, I was in high silver, low gold, and this is on par with what I saw on a consistent basis on the ladder. No way is this Plat.

Lol. Hurtone's username is entirely wrong. He was quite gentlemanly.

literally every time you mention silver league cannons the cannons do something important

PiG saying faj-oh will never not be hilarious.

I kept thinking he should hit his own unit with a splash from tanks and hope to kill the dt. Idk if it would have made a difference tho haha

New series - Viewers who are absolutely certain they're *way* better than the players in the video they just watched have a replay chosen and PiG makes them look like they're two rank tiers lower than they really are. But also, Silver League static defense continues to prove effective.

Unwarranted pylon insertion is a dangerous business. I wouldn't recommend it.

This is borderline between D3 and D2 btw

Zeratul strikes again!

Someone please tell that terran about using Hellbat splash to kill undetected DT's

Protoss are noble and stalward. They would never sink so far as to commit sodomy! (Legend says the Dark Ones may be an exception to this!) Terran on the other hand... Well let's just say all that time floating in the dead space in medavacs waiting for the toss to be distracted can get a little boring... Especially without female ghosts. Apparently the Dominion has a strict "Don't ask; don't tell" policy.

Yeeeees!

BOOF THE PYLON

ye this is silver league almost 99% sure as a high plat, so many mistakes that mainly are present in silver league maybe maybe low gold at the most.

This is HurtonesBronze To Master Micro Intensive Pylon Training..DT For The Win.(OP Protoss Ball/Viva la dirt league)4Those Who Know: ROFL

Well PiG, for arguments sake, that silver league spore has caught so many medivac drops for me, that I would say it's worth it. Maybe not so much vs protoss ,but as Zerg vs Terran definitely. :D

i mean that's kinda what war is until we bring out aircraft and bombs and mortars. just sayin.

pig: this is a silver league turret he doesnt understand the game. 5 minutes later "ohmygod is this a voidray runby?" sometimes you just gotta make yourself BS proof when you know your opponent is took cheeky. biggest brain is no brain.

Is it Hurt one or Hur tone

I honestly think DT should be blocked until diamond or master leage (included lurkers, ultralisk, carriers and BC), in lower levels is too easy to win games like this one with 0 effort, just built invisible/or high HP invencible unit.

Why do you censor the juicy pieces :D ?

I would vote for the r-worded response :D

I don’t understand why people stay in games and talk insults rather than just leaving. I think it’s more stupid to stay in a game you’ve clearly lost rather than just saying ggs and going next. It’s not even like League of Legends where you have 4 other people voting against your surrender vote; it’s just you and your pride. Pylon Buttplugs do sound pretty cool though🙃

i just encountered this IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII guy on ladder he worker rushed me

oh, artosis playing sc2 again

Terran could use hellbat splash to kill to kill DTs....

They did do something like that in real warfare: in Vietnam War the US rewarded their generals for high number of sorties (air strikes). So there were more bombs dropped on tiny Vietnam than in all of WWII, but the US still had to GG in the end. More on topic, I LOVE how Railroad over-commits on every counter: saw a few zealots? BLUE FLAME HELLIONS!!, a drop or two? SAM TURRETS EVERYWHERE!! It does feel campaign-y

I'm guessing like gold 1?

There is actually an equivalent to APM spam in warfare, it's large parade of a lot of people who don't actually do anything, you see this in propaganda videos from China or North Korea all the time. Hundreds of soldiers walking in rank, looks kind of cool. Totally useless. See also, though to a lesser degree, videos of them disassembling and reassembling their rifles, though at least that suggest you know your weapon which is useful. Honestly there's actually a lot APM spam style thing that people think makes the army seem hard but is actually pretty useless among most militaries. Remember folks, most of the stuff militaries put out to make them look badass is pretty useless, and you won't really see an actually badass military doing to much, cause they're to busy training to waste time on that kind of shit.

Guys, I now live in Russia, and I am sure with a 98% probability that this is a Russian player. This is literally the most basic, primitive bullshit that the average Putinist can think of. Thanks to the local television narrative. What’s especially fascinating to me is that all this is happening within the framework of playing the product of the “enemy West.” Great show. It hurt me not to see a massive warp of Zealots against a crowd of Thors, but it was wonderful nonetheless.

This no way high plat…. 😂 if this is high plat i should be mid Diamond 😂 Send this replay to Bronze league Heroes 😂👍🏻

Watching those as a queer neurodivergent person is always wild. Always wondering when the player's going to to talk about how much they want me dead because they lost at a videogame against some random person. I don't know if I'm glad their experience seems to be miserable or if I'm offended that they can't even seem to have fun, like, if you're going to be that awful at least try to enjoy it so it's not pure senseless misery lol

SC2 needs moderation.

I definitely vote for a switch back to the old replay overlay. I always loved that you used that one instead of the one in this video. And to be fair to Mr. Railroad Man, the mindset of some of the people here in the west really is sick. Some of the stuff they advocate to do to kids is horrific.

Why would you censor all the insults? Defeats the entire purpose of the series.

This is the worst sc2 Game of the year already. I watched the recent IODIS of @harstem which was painful already but this is really the icing on the cake 😂😂😂😂

Politist European Terran player

Sa peut pas être diamant c'est lvl bronze pas plus... Ou alors le niveau a beaucoup baisé depuis 2018

Gold league barcodes make me laugh
