Goddamn, I've already seen this series once before on Winter's channel, but couldn't help but watch it again. That control in the first game is fucking insane. I think 99/100 games end with that opener, but Stats was just absurdly clean. Both players played admirably, but it would be hella demoralizing to have your enemy on the ropes multiple games in a row and have them fight tooth and nail back to victory.
About the Immortal-recalling-to-Aiur thing, iirc they're called Immortals because they've been saved from death twice: once as a Zealot recalled put into a Dragoon, and another being moved from a damaged Dragoon to an Immortal.
Harstem been doing it, he build the proxy base behind those mineral lines, put a stalker there to stop SCV from mining them out, and stargate voidrays Tempests
STATS IS THE SHEILD OF AIUR YOU CANT BREAK HIM!!! Insane micro he feels so much stronger now and has his killer sense back. Cant wait to have some more crazy Protoss games. Stats is probably my second fave over hero now, I mean…too many all army hot keys.
You know the games approaching BW level of refinement when 90% of the balance updates are simply the map pool. I was worried a couple years ago when things got turned over to the Balance Counsel that the game was the gasping for air... I feel pretty darn good about the state of the game.
Sneaking in through the backdoor on the first map seems like it would just take too long for professional play. Now, I'd definitely fall for it, but I'm certifiably terrible.
My respect to Shin for his thoughtfull strategies. Though he missses something to be the best zerg like Dark or Serral(sheer speed i guess), he clearly would kill almost eveery single opponent with his cheeses. P.S. By the word. What's up with Bly's strats on this map pull? That would be entertaining i believe
I believe in the second round Serral would have had double the amount of creep, SHIN seems to kind of stop spreading creep (no wonder, from my amateur point of view, the top level players' APM is just ridiculous). I think SHIN lost twice due to impatience, pushing too much. Nice match, anyways, thanks to both players and Lowko!
Your commentary on the immortal at the end of the first game gave me a thought: What if making immortals in-game required giving up a zealot? The idea being you are sending an injured zealot back to Aiur to be placed into an Immortal shell?
I dunno, I feel like both games came down to Shin just completely throwing hard - and hilariously enough for the exact same reason both times. Should have gotten Queens instead of that baneling nest in game 1, would have helped close the gap and put more pressure on with the creep spread and then WTF was that last attack in game 2 spending so much gas on banes. Sure he got the mineral line but who cares when you have a huge army at your front door that's at least 2 full upgrades ahead of you?!
I'm watching the 2024 GSL S1 and the Stats vs Dark Bo3 was also an absolute banger, Stats was on fire. I wonder how he'll do against Shin ! [EDIT] I heard that Rouge is back ?????!!!!!!
If I could crisis manage like Stats in real life, I'd have no worries. Man is a legend
Shin noob with lots of mistakes
The crisis management was impeccable. I can’t believe that match became playable.
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Stats’s defense and counter attack was very impressive.
Your content is literally the only thing keeping me calm through an awful last 2 weeks. Ty so much Lowko

Bro. What an epic match. Thank you so much for casting it!
Also, did I hear your washer in the background?
Hahahaha nope!
Harstem been doing it, he build the proxy base behind those mineral lines, put a stalker there to stop SCV from mining them out, and stargate voidrays Tempests
bro you should have the button on hotkey 😂
Bind it to "all army". 😂
@@vanityplates_se So you can instinctively find it haha.
These matches were so exciting! Knife edge fights with some great crisis management. More like this!
Game 1 lesson : scouting is key
It was like watching someone take an entire round of punches only to end it with one counter punch with the force of a truck.
It's awesome
What amazing games. Both of those looked like complete losses, grabbing victory from the jaws of defeat. Incredible
Wow, didn’t think that all in would have worked. Thanks for sharing the game.
This was a banger of a series! Keep you the good work Lowko and share the good wibes! Always makes the day better when you mention to smile :D
That probe dies off screen 26:30 RIP
STATS IS THE SHEILD OF AIUR YOU CANT BREAK HIM!!! Insane micro he feels so much stronger now and has his killer sense back. Cant wait to have some more crazy Protoss games. Stats is probably my second fave over hero now, I mean…too many all army hot keys.
Maybe it's just me but I'm always on the look out for the 69 announcement. Its like finding Waldo in Lowko's videos.
Lowko your commentary is on point lately!❤
stats looking really good right now these new maps look exciting too,
Wow, I didn't realize being down 50+ army supply was survivable.
That second game was chef's kiss.
A series so good I watched it twice. Lowko's commentary more insightful then Tasteless and State's.

Can really see how the paneling nerf and shield battery overcharge let him just barely clutch that game!
How did he mange to hold that, damn that defense
I'd love to see the stats on how many people could defend like Stats 😁
That was amazing Protoss defense.
Finally, a new video
I have no idea how he blew that... he had the first game in the bag
Those battery shields are super op 😂
Stats seemed super dead when Shin had a 50 lead in (army) supply but what a comeback
I thought it would be impossible to come back from this, but once again Starcraft 2 surpassed all my expectations.
Disgusting, I lost my will to watch the remaining games after the first one and I am going to watch something non-starcraft.
As much as I don't like Stats' passivity, he's a surgeon with how precise and flawless he plays
I feel that game1 wouldve been an entirely different game if shin didn't suicide 5 overlords into the void ray
OMG THAT WAS BRILLIANT!
Shin is doing an ALL-IN but this defence he cannot win.
When you used to watch Serral all other zergs expect Dark look Diamond league
Aren't immortals robots with consciousnesses of dead warriors? Like when Protoss die they live on in their sort of hive mind right?
Swear I thought you weren’t gunna do the “Nice” and I was gunna lose my shit
Stats: you are not Serral!!
Impressive defending 😮
Sneaking in through the backdoor on the first map seems like it would just take too long for professional play. Now, I'd definitely fall for it, but I'm certifiably terrible.
Madness, I love it!
SHIN be like; are you not entertained? Are you not entertained!!!???
Rogue is BACK WOOHOO
Oops wrong vid
If shin killed the shield battery I think he just wins right there
The Shield of Aiur is back, boys!
RIP DADDY IMMORTAL!

My respect to Shin for his thoughtfull strategies. Though he missses something to be the best zerg like Dark or Serral(sheer speed i guess), he clearly would kill almost eveery single opponent with his cheeses.
P.S. By the word. What's up with Bly's strats on this map pull? That would be entertaining i believe
what a game, nice one
Couldn’t believe the second game
It's not even that much of a bother to clic the like button, so I won't forget to smile! Thx again!

hi Lowko, nice video. Would love to see more of your face here on youtube
The shield Protoss

Can you make a video of 3 vs 3 jaja. Nice to have the 6 top players playing in a 3v3 .

great game!
masterpiece
Nice always gets a like.
