I love the "oh hes 2 base all in'ing me, I'll just get a 4th base then"

*splits* -doesnt split until after banes explode *those splits where perfect* -harstem 2023

^^ doesn't represent the eyebrows but the shape of your eyes when you smile. We do it in France too.

As a German I feel very called out^^

I like what the last guy was doing with the adepts, using them as a cheap way to keep your gateway units running around the map while he teched up to disruptors and archons

First game was closer to a "greediest man alive" instead of "cheesiest" XD

Great video! ^^

I like how in the last game at 41:24 (15 35 game time) you mine the last of your 2 gas and you decide you just don't need any more past that. Gutsy

We’re just happy to see you ^_^

It's unbelievable how much you look like a classic Kevin. Sick play my man. Low gas is extremely entertaining to me

the eyebrows emote is a german keyboard thing. its just super convenient to do. Its the key below escape. No modifier key needed

^^ the germans send their regards ^^

nice video ^.^

@harstem 19:30 you literally used to "glgl" all the time you're the first person i remember doing that when i first watched one of your videos in 2020

I believe ^^ are actually the shape of your eyes when smiling. So it's the Japanese version of :)

bro that last game was so intense. back and forth, peekaboo around the map, constantly morphing compositions on both sides. fun.

@16:02 I think beastyqt played a series where his alias was “Zerg” and it was a Terran or Protoss challenge.

Gutes Video! ^^

has is unbeatable in the cheese category

18:57 "More GGs, more skill"

greetings from germany ^^

If I could choose to have a beer with any two people, they would be Harstem and his clone. Thanks Captain.

no one else looks out for the 5-6kish bar codes like you, captain. Truly legacy building

I've seen herO doing this kind of double gold into mass chargelot style as well. Edit: (^^,)

What you called "flower" formation, I've also heard it often referred to as "pinwheel", usually in age of empires with mill + farms

^^ means just *g* means 😊 means smile. Learned it in battle Net of Starcraft 1 and bw

@Captain the emotes ^^, ^-^, and ^_^ all are just like very big smiles with closed eyes

"Ask not what you can do for your opponent, but what your opponent can do for you"- Abraham Washington, 2077

A good one against zerg is a sentry immortal timing push on 2 base with a warp prism. You proxy the robo and go sentry immortal. The reason for it is cutting the army up with sentries so they cant run or engage on you (whichever you prefer) and you reveal sentries early to force roaches then hit em with immortals on the back end. The minerals will mostly go towards your immortals and gas will go towards your sentries. You can constantly produce 1 or 2 robos with 3 gates on 2 base.

I have a 2base, 1 gas zealot all in cheese, at 5 min you have 21 zealot, 7 gates, charge, a prisme in the main base. very good against Z So if you are interested, im here ! (idk if it work on high lvl im diamond)

^^ is not eyebrows going up but eyes of a smiling person

could have a 10min compilation of harstem writing glgl at beginning of match.

Next time I play, I will open up with "eyebrows". Thank you for teaching me, Harstem!

OMFG... Hahaha! Good Luck Harstem on your matchup against Reynor 😂

Harstem with a German accent never fails to make me nearly shit myself laughing.

The important thing to have in any melee rush is as much surface area onto the enemy.

Harstem ^^ when you were like 5 years old ^^ this is what they did in korea ^^ when playing starcraft brood war ^^

can confirm, im german and used to do these ^^ a lot haha^^ edit: they are not eyebrows, they are laughing/happy eyes, they go well together with haha^^ or lol^^

I have to agree, ^^ is the best, Harstems unconditional love is completely justified.

"I have a bit too much gas in my mind." Clearly.

the amount of adept runbys was hilarious

Life is a series of moments that either feel nice and feel not so nice

Nice video ^^

Harstem is blowing my mind right now

33:40 Omg "Kevin de Koning" Face palm its " you think you're cooler then me" BY "Mike Posner" but you should never give up on a remix one day ¿

WhiteRa is watching this and grinning from ear to ear :P Special tactics lives on!

Stellar games! Much entertain good Ser!

Should one G be considered a 1/2?

The german acceent had me literally cackling

When harstem say I don’t even know if it’s possible, then it will be good

With Has in the title, I've liked the video before starting :))))))

I just tried the flower proxy, and 20 lings a-moved straight to it unscouted - it is what it is

I love this red shirt you're rocking, cap

I think young yakov does glgl, but couldn’t find where I saw it

^^ comes from Anime, lots of germans watch them apparently

great games ^^

Hairsteim is all hopped up on the goofballs in dis vid

What happened to the family and the other creatures of the sea?

GGs!

i know harstem said he was going to go low gas... but i didnt expect him to play half the game with no gas at all XD

Was the GG analysis done?

The "^ ^" ? I've always used that to symbol agreeing with whatever was said before you. Pointing at the comment above you in agreement. I did that a lot when I played, and I'm not German :)

"wrong with his head in all the right ways"

"61 workers, yet it feels like we are rich" You do get a lot of minerals when you havent been mining gas for 3 minutes straight.

This last game, can you check the replay, oracle movement ? I think his plays don't make sense to harstem, because he plays reactive. Looks like maphack to me, also it feels like his actions don't match his mmr. Or do i just suck?

Hello from Germany ^^

Welcome to a new episode of the greediest man alive

I'm claiming responsibility for the skeleton incident.

"GL HF" Harstem : "These people have no shame."

BigIQProtoss vs the IQ Toss. Legends have foretold this battle for millenia

I expected more Zealots.

Thanks for playing protoss! This is my favorite series when not zerg or terran.

...but this emoji is sooo efficient! ^^ 😂😂😂

"what if I just had too many zealots for him to kill?"

These are actully the eyes of a cute emoji ^_^

ahhh. the classic pickle eye joe once again…😅

I feel personally attacked by this video ^^

Gold was precious even in Bronze age.

How in heck did he stay on 2gas for the entire last game there. I need to rethink my life.

MY LIFE FOR AIUR!!!!

I miss has, the only bronze leaguer to make it into wcs

Has CHEESE-A-LOT!

Nice R ;)

because they love anime ^^

i approve of this message

i think the eyebrows are supposed to show that you say things in a friendly, upbeat manner. and ":D" or such might be too over the top for the mood youre trying to convey. also waaay easier to type than smileys at least thats how it's started, is my guess. by now, i add it to sentences unconciously ^^

ah man I am a hfhf guy

win a game building at least one of each unit

ze A LOT

^^ are the eyes not the eyebrows, also nothing to do with being German. Its you who is backwards here captain.

hey harstem hfhf

^^

low gas high testosterone builds

29:07 Def when it comes to balance you don't say what the ppl think and its bc pro protoss players overestimate their ability, and fail to preform at the same time. Its ironic and moronic, quite like how marines and mines can shoot at sky units. So nerf that plz. And buff the skytoss/land death ball against zerg deathball somehow a cheaper comp is stronger in late game pvz makes abs no sense. Sc2 was most balanced in WOL. The extra cost of toss units was justified then and the game had less gimmicky units. And the proplayer results reflected that. Often when I hear you read patch notes any toss buff is followed by a nerf and i hear you say oh that's still playable not understanding that the objective is to balance to parity and not play from a disadvantage and try to makeup the diff. The last few patches have been incognito terran buffs, somehow the cyclone comes on top, and upgrades are cheaper. This is why proplayers shouldn't balance the game bc they're delusional about their own skillset and viewing the results objectively. Like instead of brain dead terrans building a raven with their bio armies the infestor gets nerfed??? Make it make sense. And the reason the game gets balanced this way is bc of hero syndrome most casuals relate to the human terran units and want to be the terran white knights that win against the other 'evil races and save the day,' thus winning the big tournies. So a T vs X is the most desirable outcome in attempts to grow the game.

B)

Oh dear Kevin... ^^ is totally common, no german specific behavior. It only means you are born late... Pls say cringe - then all 30+ guys will turn it the other way round...

if you're happy and you know it, type out ^^
