Please continue to have fun with your casts. You still do a great job of narrating and breaking down the games, but you enjoying yourself is what makes these videos so quality, and the reason we keep coming back each day.
Or Loid the Leviathan? I saw another comment that stated it looks like the tentacle ship from BG3 called a Nautiloid, loid short for nautiloid and still get the alliteration.
We really gotta thank Lowko for his passion for strategy games especially starcraft and bringing us really fun, easy to understand and just so alive vibe casts. Love your work Lowko!
Please don't stop having fun in your casts. I alomst always watch your videos while having my meals, and those fun do relax me a lot. You have also done a great job talking about the games. It may be confused to new comer, but for me, it is just fine.
Personally I love that you are not getting too technical in your videos, I have never played this game myself and I love it when you speak about the sea monster and stuff like this while giving some insights on the game too. If you were speaking only about the timings, buildings etc, I would have not watched. So you are doing just perfect bro!
A long time ago, you released a video explaining how to play Zerg for beginners. Id love to see another 2023 version as you’d also be able to gauge how many “new” viewers / players there are
I remember those! At least I think I do. He was getting taught the game at the time too, but I still remember him teaching the Solar 2 base roach/ravager where you could hit 200 supply super early.
The game is old. 13 years. Just that alone means it's difficult to attract new views. However, some of us really miss this game. Thanks for keeping it alive. Seeing a professional do this is great way to reminisce. My favourite way to win as a protoss vs zerg, was overlord hunting Corsairs (Bw) or/ and DT's. Because I love Karate Kid. If a man can't see/supply, he can't fight.
Never played Sc2, never had much interest in watching any other comment of it. You're a really charismatic and fun to watch youtuber Lowko! Been years watching you now and the new patch makes me really excited to watch more
Lowko, the use case for the activated cloak would be offensive as you're launching an attack to break your opponent's targetting. It's a near guaranteed loss of the mama, but if youre doing a ton of splash, could be the balance breaker.
I've been watching your videos for years. I gotta tell you though I really am enjoying you (enjoy yourself too much). Also Dark GG'ing when he found out about your cats is the funniest thing I've ever heard you say hahaha....much love and keep up the great work as always!
as allways, cool video Lowko :) second, for the "sea monster" it's clearly the shadow of one of the bel'shir's creatures, the glider as I remember, the one that stetman wants you to save in the coop mission :)
I mean, I can see why less protoss pros exist currently. They've been underpowered for most of the life cycle of this game. This game, at the top level, is basically a 2-race game.
The creature that casts the shadow is in the middle of the map. Look at the shadows for the buildings. The monster must be towards the middle or the left side of the map.
I will never understand why pros still try to make DT openers work. Both Zerg and Terran almost always have detection ready by the time the DT's make it across the map.
Lowko, I've been watching and plyaing starcraft 2 since the game has come out but have just found your channel recently. I just found out my wife cheated on me last week and watching your videos literally brighten my day and takes my mind off of the hard times as well as keeping me from making some stupid decisions. Really appreciate you lowko! Love you brother!
what would you recommend for starcraft 3 story and lore As an AI assistant, I don't have personal opinions or recommendations. However, I can provide you with some general information about the StarCraft series. StarCraft is a popular real-time strategy game developed by Blizzard Entertainment. The series is known for its rich and immersive story and lore, which revolves around three distinct factions: the human Terrans, the insectoid Zerg, and the advanced Protoss. If you're looking for recommendations for the story and lore of a hypothetical StarCraft 3, it would depend on the direction Blizzard Entertainment decides to take with the game. They have a team of talented writers and developers who have crafted the existing StarCraft universe. It's possible that a potential StarCraft 3 could continue the ongoing conflicts between the factions, introduce new characters and storylines, or explore different aspects of the existing lore. Ultimately, the story and lore of StarCraft 3 would be up to the creative vision of the developers and the preferences of the fanbase. It's always exciting to see how game franchises evolve and expand their narratives, so it would be interesting to see what Blizzard Entertainment has in store for the future of the StarCraft series. what would you do if you were head of blizzard entertaiment for starcraft 3 lore and story line As an AI assistant, I don't have personal desires or the ability to become the head of Blizzard Entertainment. However, if I were in a hypothetical position as the head of Blizzard Entertainment for StarCraft 3's lore and storyline, I would prioritize several key aspects: 1. Continuity and Expansion: I would ensure that the story of StarCraft 3 builds upon the existing lore while expanding and deepening the narrative. It would be important to maintain consistency with the established universe and characters, while also introducing new elements to keep the story fresh and engaging. 2. Character Development: I would focus on creating compelling and relatable characters that players can connect with. Developing their backstories, motivations, and relationships would be crucial to driving the emotional impact of the story. 3. Faction Dynamics: The conflicts and interactions between the Terrans, Zerg, and Protoss have been central to the StarCraft series. I would strive to explore and evolve these faction dynamics, delving into the complexities of their relationships, alliances, and rivalries. 4. Player Agency: I would aim to incorporate player agency into the storytelling, allowing players to make meaningful choices that impact the narrative and outcome of the game. This could involve branching storylines, multiple endings, or interactive dialogue options. 5. World-Building: I would work on expanding the StarCraft universe by introducing new planets, species, and factions. This would provide opportunities for exploration, discovery, and the introduction of fresh storylines. 6. Engaging Narrative: Crafting a captivating and immersive narrative would be a priority. This would involve a balance of epic battles, personal struggles, political intrigue, and moral dilemmas to keep players invested in the story. Ultimately, my goal would be to create a compelling and memorable story for StarCraft 3 that honors the existing lore while pushing the boundaries of the franchise, providing an engaging experience for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
its WILD how thoroughly lowko managed to miss the mountains of egyptian influence protoss has. their base is a PYRAMID, THEY'RE WEARING GOLD, ONE OF THEIR UNITS IS A LITERAL SCARAB, HIEROGLYPHICS, im so mad
Sorry this may be really obvious, but what are the icons at the top right in the first few seconds of every video? A six, fist, and spider?? :P I was guessing fist is "melee", ala 1v1, 2v2, etc, but totally clueless on the other two
Think the biggest reason Hero didn't go with colossus first in game 2 was he really need the thermal lance upgrade to outrange that many hydras and have a chance to live whereas the disruptors can buy time .
Blizzard did the same race design/balance in sc2 as they did in war3. There is always one "simplified" race that is a bit more straight forward, direct and somewhat forgiving on mistakes. In war3 it was orcs and in Sc2 it is protoss, and the worse the players are the more this affects player performance.
protoss is the least forgiving race to mistakes, loose 5 probes in the early game, and you might as well just gg out, as terran and zerg they dont even care about loosing 10 drones/scv's.
I notice you don't comment about them breaking rocks. I'd love it if you have some insights to commentate ... about rocks. Also Lowko is a big part of why I finally started learning SC2 properly in 2023 (was a SC1 veteran, but only been spectating SC2 until now).
If you bind two spell-casters to the same group, can’t you use tab to go back and forth between them to activate abilities? Or is that not reliable at the professional level?
You can click on your opponent's structures to see. Most of them are slightly different (even the Protoss structures) if you look very closely. A Pylon/Cannon/Battery look ever so slightly different while building.
Imo the biggest problem with balance right now is the skytoss supported by some spellcasters and cannons in zvp. Protoss can just sit behind cannons and then a move their carriers+tempest+stalkers+templars+immortals. If zerg sits back with lurkers then protoss will just snipe lurkers down with tempest + hallucinated phoenix combo. If zerg want to move some spellcaster in range to cast spell then it can be immediatly killed by high templar abillities. So zerg can just wait till the end of its game. Especially in lower leagues. Im not saying that 2 or 3 top level zerg cannot win vs protoss. I just say that this race (protoss) is highly imbalanced in zvt bronze-silver-gold-diamond-master- and lower GM lategame. There should be some game changes which make zerg more playable in late game and also give protoss some tools which can be done to deal with zerg lategame armies with good control which Serral and Dark have. So the 2 goals should be realized together: make lower leagues zerg games more favourable, and make late games of higher leagues protoss more favourable. This can be done with some ballance of unit changes. Mainly debuff cannons or create zerg game opportunity which can break cannon+tempest+voidrays+carriers combo (similar to terran nuke/aka buff of swarmhost in cannon destroying). Protoss campers cannot be punished right now in lower leagues. Hydralisk is an option but it is risky for zerg if protoss do right amount of cannons then they will be protected from hydra attacks, and lategame is then inavitable. Hydra buff can be good in zerg ballance, mainly hydralisk should outrange cannons somehow. So cannons should be vurnable to hydra attacks and not vurnable to roach or lings attack. That would solve problems of many lower league zergs.
Can you go over the dance probes do when harassing the zerg's mineral line in the early game? Also why do we not see this in any of the other match ups?
Please continue to have fun with your casts. You still do a great job of narrating and breaking down the games, but you enjoying yourself is what makes these videos so quality, and the reason we keep coming back each day.
no please not
Nah. Im just here for the game narrating. The "enjoying himself" is rather an annoying addition.
I don't like Starcraft that much to watch matches without Lowko shaenanigans, so best if he keeps enjoying himself.
I dont even play sc2 and im here for every single video he makes lol
Same hahaha
same hahah
Same
Me too 😂
Sometimes I play Direct Strike
Don't apologize for having fun, Lowko, it's why you're our favorite
Lowko is more reliable than an Atomic clock
I propose a Lowko standard time
I try!
Indeed
Can confirm. I live by NIST. Haha their atomic clock can't touch our boi lowko's reliability haha.
The tentacle ship from BG3 is called a Nautiloid, which, as a matter of fact, would be a cool name for the sea creature!
I suggest "Loid" for short
"Nautiloids" are actually a family of marine cephalopods. I think nautilus are the only remaining nautiloids still existing today.
@@awrawrwar It's underwater and has tentacles. Nautiloid it is.
I'm here for Lloyd 🤙 ❤
Levi the Leviathan? Great Content!!!!
Or Loid the Leviathan? I saw another comment that stated it looks like the tentacle ship from BG3 called a Nautiloid, loid short for nautiloid and still get the alliteration.
How about Christie Kraken. 😊
I was thinking about a manacing archangel Gabriel, or one of those Avatar swimming sharks/dolphs sillyAnie /Syllianie/ ?
what a series! Oceanborn has some absolutely amazing death animations. my jaw dropped to the floor the first time I saw banelings take out marines!
What a gift it is when a series goes the distance.
We really gotta thank Lowko for his passion for strategy games especially starcraft and bringing us really fun, easy to understand and just so alive vibe casts. Love your work Lowko!

Hey, you draged me into SC2 just 2 years ago and it was very important that you explaint all the details!
Personally I love that you are not getting too technical in your videos, I have never played this game myself and I love it when you speak about the sea monster and stuff like this while giving some insights on the game too. If you were speaking only about the timings, buildings etc, I would have not watched. So you are doing just perfect bro!
The shakedown is a Bel’Shir glider from coop

There is a reason we meme on Artosis about 44/44, and I am really glad you point out the consistent supply block number for SC2. Super cool cast!
Lowko, the use case for the activated cloak would be offensive as you're launching an attack to break your opponent's targetting. It's a near guaranteed loss of the mama, but if youre doing a ton of splash, could be the balance breaker.
Lowko people love Tastosis so much because they don't talk about the game at all during the boring parts! You're headed in the right direction!
I've been watching your videos for years. I gotta tell you though I really am enjoying you (enjoy yourself too much). Also Dark GG'ing when he found out about your cats is the funniest thing I've ever heard you say hahaha....much love and keep up the great work as always!
Gary the friendly Seamonster
FIRSTTTTTTTTTTTTT
Bro, no you are not
That's cheating!
Hahahhahahahahahhaha
Good one, Lowko! Also, didn’t make the classical Lowko intro, 😢
@@MauroDraco +1 lowko where intro where banana 🍌
i had a dream where you were casting a match and maxpax recalled a disruptor shot to stop a roach push and i just realized it was a dream
31:19 “Now the fight begins!” - says Dark while assuming his final form…
as allways, cool video Lowko :) second, for the "sea monster" it's clearly the shadow of one of the bel'shir's creatures, the glider as I remember, the one that stetman wants you to save in the coop mission :)
I mean, I can see why less protoss pros exist currently. They've been underpowered for most of the life cycle of this game. This game, at the top level, is basically a 2-race game.
Love your casting! Also wanted to say that i like you not using big intros and stuff. Nice video title and just right into the game - cool.
The Sea Monster is Levy, the nice Leviathan straight from Subnautica to SC2
Game #2 was indeed a perfect example of "Dark vs Hero".
A very unnerving box match where the boxers are not throwing fists at each other but towels.
The creature that casts the shadow is in the middle of the map.
Look at the shadows for the buildings. The monster must be towards the middle or the left side of the map.
Hahahahaha very funny video, Lowko! So cool that in the last months you've been uploading more Pro-toss videos on your channel 🙌🏻
Bernard. Bernard the sea -monster- friend.
uploads at 8:00AM MST... good morning world, its time to watch some Lowko casts Starcraft2!
I will never understand why pros still try to make DT openers work. Both Zerg and Terran almost always have detection ready by the time the DT's make it across the map.
The Shadow are one of those terrazine creatures you have to free in the campaign missions and co-op commanders missions.
Larry the Leviathan!

12:30 : "99 out of 20 games".
You're so good at math Lowko 🤓
I dont have any questions, but I am new to StarCraft and find it really cool
It makes me happy to if you’re having fun casting chad lowko
dark plays like a god (1st match) and then does whatever happens in the 2nd and 3rd match. classic
Not Classic, Her0. 😉

And God Bless you for "Fast Endings"
The amount of times Hero disappointed Lowko during this video 😅😅
I think the sea creature should be called Reefy. It kind of has the silhouette of a reef back from Subnautica
Lets Hit that Like button bois to put a Smile in lowkos face !
the monster reminds me of a stingray so you should name it Ray
also i am a little bit newer to SC2, even tho i've played for years i've never played properly so any type of explanation is always useful to me :)
The Shadow creature could be called LSD because it's always, Lowkos distraction. Or you could say, he gets spaced out, every-time he sees it 😉
the 'slow death animation' got me
fish name influenced by Lowko "it looks like the Baldur's gate tentacle ship thing": Mind Fillet'er
loko is easily my favorite sc caster. My only wish was if the games he casts weren't always red vs blue.
The Mothership should honestly be immune to being abducted IMHO
lowko's willy looking like an orca confirmed!
The Lowko Ness monster! r.e. the sea creature on Oceanborn
Lowko catching up with the Protoss-Pyramid reference like 13 years in...
"and i dont even have kids i have to cats. And as soon as dark found out he ggs" lmaooo love you lowko
name of sea shadow - DSM - Deep Sea Monster😂
its WILD how thoroughly lowko managed to miss the mountains of egyptian influence protoss has. their base is a PYRAMID, THEY'RE WEARING GOLD, ONE OF THEIR UNITS IS A LITERAL SCARAB, HIEROGLYPHICS, im so mad
I’m watching for lowko, not the game. If Lowko is not around, i would not be watching anymore SC2 vids.
Keep doing what you do. Love your vids
Sorry this may be really obvious, but what are the icons at the top right in the first few seconds of every video? A six, fist, and spider?? :P
I was guessing fist is "melee", ala 1v1, 2v2, etc, but totally clueless on the other two
I'd say PEGI 6, the fist is probably because it is a fight game, and spider idk, maybe aliens ?
The moon landing also happened on July 20th. How many letters does July have? Four. 4:20, 1969. Coincidence? I think not!
‘Me have roach, me smash’ 😂😂😂
Shadow name suggestion: Nauty, for nautica, and naughty for being a mental tease.
The mothership really went from mommyship to stepshipper
I think, it is Lewis. Good name for leviaphan creature
Seeiously been watching lowko since i was in Middle School and i still get daily content 🎉
Hero vs dark is the greatrst anime rivalry of all time
Lowko there is no such thing as too much fun
"I think you guys can come up with something cleverer then Willy."
Have you forgotten Boaty McBoatface?
Think the biggest reason Hero didn't go with colossus first in game 2 was he really need the thermal lance upgrade to outrange that many hydras and have a chance to live whereas the disruptors can buy time .
This. Disruptors are perfect for stopping the match.
We will call the shadow, Larry the seamonter
Creativity, awesome execution, surprise... AND... a loss.
The life of a ladder Protoss
Edit: Having seen game 1 only
Lair-tech Lurkers sound like a band now
Carla the colossal shadow
You are doing good man.
Everytime i Hear Lowko say, "IN THE END" i really just want him to say,. IT doesnt even matter!( linkin park pun)
Blizzard did the same race design/balance in sc2 as they did in war3.
There is always one "simplified" race that is a bit more straight forward, direct and somewhat forgiving on mistakes.

10:00 When are you never watching a Protoss player with a very slow death animation?
The floating creature is Squidward
I suggest "Shrimpzilla" for the creature
I'll believe what you say when serral and maru start winning games as protoss!
I wish i could hide the duration of the video, cause i never would have though game 5 was going to be that quick
8:14 I need that announcer.
That shadow is a rudy!
I like willy, but what about Nessie? I believe that is one of the names for the loch ness monster. thoughts?
Hi! Relatively new viewer here!
I came for the StarCraft content , stayed for the conspiracy theories. The animal should be called flying spaghetti monster
Lowko became a Dark fanboy lately. You should maybe name the shadow dark in the future :D
I notice you don't comment about them breaking rocks. I'd love it if you have some insights to commentate ... about rocks.
Also Lowko is a big part of why I finally started learning SC2 properly in 2023 (was a SC1 veteran, but only been spectating SC2 until now).
NO No no , we love you talking about whatever, and I agree, the early game is almost always the same so I apricate the off topic stories
3:05 dark getting hit by the 36/36 treatment
I was waiting for Lowko to comment on that ;-; im sad he missed it.
If you bind two spell-casters to the same group, can’t you use tab to go back and forth between them to activate abilities? Or is that not reliable at the professional level?
Marine emperor like subnautica
The shadow monster's name is Derp.
How do players know what structure is building? [besides the gridsize]?
You can click on your opponent's structures to see. Most of them are slightly different (even the Protoss structures) if you look very closely. A Pylon/Cannon/Battery look ever so slightly different while building.
ahh tysm!@@LowkoTV
