19:18 I love how Reynor moved the spore crawler through the protoss army and planting it in the middle of the army to try to kill the prism Bravest spore I've ever seen
I think he cares about that after all.. at end of the videos he always say something along the lines of "hope you have a wonderful day, don't forget to smile"
Not only Lowko's videos are super entertaining the reason I like him so much is that he speaks very clearly and explains everything. I actually use his videos to practice my english (I have been hearing him for years now) and at the beggining I couldn't understand most of what he was saying, now after I took some english courses I can understand him perfectly. Hugs from Brazil Lowko!
Lowko: "I'm trying real hard to be unbiased here!" also Lowko: "I feel like Reynor has to try SO hard to win this game, despite being massively ahead." Neeb: "I'm going to try to hold on with static that will never finish, 1 disruptor, 1 mothership, 1 carrier and a dream."
Lowko I find it annoying when every youtuber tells their viewers to smash that like button, however gently caressing the like button? That I can get behind. We shouldn't abuse the poor like button it needs love too.
That game 5 was intense, losing the 3rd to the cannon rush, losing like 10 swarmhosts, and then losing the lair. Yet somehow Reynor pulls out a victory from that position. Thanks for the cast Lowko, super entertaining.
That game 2 was so tight. Such great SC in 2021. Love the decision to just go across the map and see if he has a ground army when the huge flock of mutas shows up. That was such a strategic fight in front of the ramp.
Spire into a double stargate can work if you catch your opponent by surprise and kill the void rays before the phoenixes spawn than once you force phoenixes switch into corruptors. Teching right after getting mutas is just too greedy Imho. Corruptors in turn force either mass void rays or ditching the stargates all together and going ground, which Zerg can handle much better than skytoss.
Lowoko about your thought for making carriers more microable so you can do more things, give them the ability to launch interceptors at an area and micro the interceptors as well after this the interceptors cannot be launched for some cool down. So you micro both carriers and interceptors, so they don't get killed as when a carrier dies the interceptors die.
I keep trying to pin down why I like Lowko more than most casters, and I think it comes down to three things: 1. A lot of casters focus on specific matchups at the start, while Lowko tends to give player history and current meta discussion. Small difference, but it gives context for WHY people open up the way they do, rather than just commenting on how effective it is 2. Trivia. Little things like "there's a dude in the missile turret. Why doesn't it cost supply?" and "I wonder where the critters are" add a lot of personality. Sure it doesn't matter to the match, but it does show the detail that went into the game 3. Relating things back to his own experience helps contextualize different builds and mistakes. Comments on mistakes and why they are mistakes (or why they aren't large enough to matter) or why somwthing is a clever play (or not as impactful as one might think) being talked about based on personal experience rather than just profesional meta is a bit more meaningful (and often more helpful). A lot of casters don't bring their own experience into it further than saying "in my opinion," and it's honestly a shame.
1:06:10 Good trade for the archon holy crap this game was on a knife edge. What a series. What a frustrating way to lose for Neeb. Reynor just put a paperweight on his 'R' key and facerolled for like 10 mins straight XD
19:22 Guess what Reynor..... I have 1200 gas, and you can't stop me from warping in right into your living room. "Today, we take back our homeworld. And with it, OUR LEGACY!!"
Neeb was awesome the play with keeping the hydra banes down the ramp with the force fields was phenomenal. He was going to win the last game but he got tired.
I think swarm hosts are the most fun units! The looks funny, waddle from place to place, and when played well can curb stomp more traditional fighting units.
Wait a minute... Around 32:00 Reynor is playing corruptor-hydra. Harstem insisted so much on the fact that this is redundant and therefore bad in his first is it imba video for lowko. Could someone explain to me what makes it good instead here, since Reynor chose to play it?
So most of the maps are made by just a handful of map makers, so thats why you'll see maps named in themes and weird things like that(its pronounced yag-uh-nah-tha by the way). People complain about critters being added saying they reduce the framerate and tax systems more. For an opposing side I'm aware Harstem in particular is aghast at not being able to murder defenseless animals on every map.
The fact that void rays are a literal hard counter to probably over half of the zerg units is a huge sign of how OP they are. Obviously counter all ground units except for hydras and even then I feel like that could be argued. They hard counter Corruptors (literally a zerf anti air unit) counter mutas, counter broodlords for obvious reasons.
Cool but a few notes: 1. Queens are called Brenda 2. When introducing need you need the USA flag and the sound of an American bold eagle 🦅 3. I love the fast transitions 😎
Lowko: "Up to 100,000 people. That's like two stadiums full. That's insane and you guys willingly actually clicked on this video and decided to watch it...." Me: "Wait. Willingly? I thought the subscribe button forced us to watch these videos!"
Void ray opener literally makes it impossible to prevent their expansion. It's the safest option by far. It's also boring and infuriating. There's literally nothing you can do without going pool first against protoss. You can't counter attack because of the void ray it shuts off lings / roaches.
I offer up this my sacrifice to the awe-inspiring algorithm that it may pour out its favor upon this video. I like I leave for it as well that the algorithm might be appeased. I supplicate and beg the dread algorithm to let this video be found that its high priest, Lord Lowko, might eat.
A big issue is that the mutas in game 2 flew over the army crossing the map. Neeb had time to start and Chrono out phoenix while holding warp ins for stalkers as they progressed. If he flew them the longer way around he might have got more damage done. Shame he wasn't able to kill off that warp prism though. That would have certainly helped a lot and possibly been enough
Lowko keep being yourself, we love when you make random jokes and break out into song. The comfortable and relaxed vibe is so much better than the overly excited nonsense tournament casters are always doing.
Lowko: u know whats crazy to me? that like up to a 100.000 people watch these videos and i'm feeling pretty comfortable just making really bad jokes. I'm literally watching these videos because of these bad jokes :D
Perhaps if you didn't reveal the mutas until you unpowered and hopefully destroy the stargates, that way pheonixes can't be chrono boosted out. You would need alot of mutas though and they would have to not be scouted until they start attacking the pylons, if it works though you might be able to win the game even.
I have a question: sometimes i what esport sc 2 or some. Sort of high level players, and at the Start they go for a Strategie, Like Thor or carrier rush, and even of something goes wrong they mostly Stick to it, is there a reason for it or is it just that you cant Switch to another stratagie at that level?
Queens are like Mobile spore crawlers
Spore crawlers are also like mobile spore crawlers
Queens are just a bit more mobile than spore crawlers.
However, spore crawlers are faster than queens.

Listen to super eye patch wolf or whitelight they somehow make anything sound so calming
Dutch accent is so nice.

Right? I love it too
I gotta say, I was surprised at the first stargate opener, and the second, third, and fourth... but I REALLY didn't expect the fifth!

Both things Anakin Skywalker hates

“Neeb really is the master of baiting.”
Honestly not sure if that was intentional or not. Still exhaled through my nose all the same.
35:34 I love Lowko's passive-aggressivness towards the Protoss opener. Such Variety Much WoW
Never played SC2, but I watch these every day
25:04 Glad to see Lowko applied the suggestions from that video last week, to seek the critters in the early game :)

It’s refreshing to hear an actual happy person performing commentary. Well done man.
I'm actually surprised that there's no critters on these maps....I agree with Lowko, put them back.
I've watched at least 100-200 lowko videos. never played multiplayer SC2 and I just realized that "Pillars of Gold" shortened is "POG". XD

There, I did it for you this time.

I have missed this game so much
Thank you for the great content!
You could really see Neeb was getting tired at the end.
Looks like he threw
