Imagine being a marine pushing on to creep.
You're walking over unnatural goo while having to attack invisible organs in the ground that [whoever sends the mules] is telling you about. Occasionally being told to run up ahead of the safety of your tanks to lure hordes of lighting-fast bug-dogs or giant cockroaches - where at least and handful of your comrades will die. All the while reports come in of your bases back home being overrun by hordes of the bugs - a swarm bigger than any that you may have never seen by that point.
And you keep going - pushing further and further in - until you see a wave larger than before charge you... Your squad falls back in waves, shooting as you go, returning to the safety of your tanks. But as you get closer, no blasts from your distant artillery come, no holes in the enemy lines appear -- as you reach the fortified positions, you see that it is covered in a dense fog. You might even see the massive insect slithering around in the sky... and receive cool orders from above to prioritize its life over your own.
And as you fight for your life, no order to retreat comes... The tanks are torn to shreds by a sea of insects and those standing ahead of you are disintegrated in seas of acid and volleys of spines. You may even find a virulent fungus growing in your suit - eating away at your flesh.
Eventually, if you're lucky, you might find a place on a medical dropship - watching the last of your army become engulfed in a sea of shell and claw.
Yep it’s a very miserable life. Zerg, on the other hand, live in a permanent state of happiness.
So pretty
that was truly beautiful
very poetic. I like it
It could be satellites in orbit to support and it explain mules, supply drops, and scans.
It's like how OSIRIS-Rex dropped the pod off at Earth and kept going, but the Terran mamaship would launch the first CC down to start off the game and then circularize its orbit for the upcoming orbitals and other support. Or it could launch the CC and enough satellites to support any upcoming orbitals.
well that explains the cooldown - you gotta wait for the next orbital pass
4:37 The Brood War opening cinematic answers this question. Huge battle cruiser above a battle
"Admiral, the colonist space will be overrun in a matter of minutes. Shall we intervene?"
"Take us into orbit Mr. Maalmsteen, we've seen enough."
Battle cruiser then abandons the ground forces. Yeah pretty morbid
Like 4 no spoiler

“Why aren’t they helping?!? 😂😂😂
PROTOSS WINS
Nerf zerg pls
Thank you
4:37 let's just imagine that the war happening all over the planet and nearby terran army busy helping other terran bases and only can send you mules, scans and depo addons
terrans expect their commanders to solve their own problems lol idk
It's all automated. Unmanned mule and depo supply ships
It's called an Orbital Command, tho, so you have to assume the things it provides are commanded down from orbit. That's, at least, where my mind first jumps.
I always assume there is a space station in orbit supporting the guys on the ground for the supply drops and stuff. I always picture the station in that one SC1 cut scene where they plant a nuke in in the infested science station
Pretty sure that was a science vessel
Interesting fact. Load landed Vikings into a medivac with an SCV on auto repair. They get repaired in the medivac.
Does this work with all mech units, like a tank? Or just a bug?
It works, and it is not a bug, it's been in the game since the start, you can even do it in the wol campaign
@@goh7440 in fact, SCVs can repair SCVs in medivacs or command centers if set to auto repair.
It was on LagTV. It's wild
Does is also repair the medivac itself?
There is almost no reason for Interstellar armies to clash on planetside unless the Navies are in Stalemate. There are probably huge Zerg and Terran fleets in orbit just daring the other to attack.
In this case, a naval battle would destroy them both, so they deploy armies instead in a sort of involuntary mutual agreement taht the winner of the Ground battle takes the planet. Plus, whoever wins will definitely make groundside defenses which will make a naval battle disadvantageous for the loser.
@LowkoTV - Thanks for another great recap! If I might make a small request: there have been a lot of times recently where you are focusing the camera on base building for an extended period of time while significant fights are going down elsewhere on the map. I'd love to see more of those fights rather than trying to guess how they played out.
The Hyperion in orbit doesen't help because this platform woulden't be anywhere near a priority target. There's less than 200 zerg here, so they would focus their efforts on locations with like thousands or millions of zerg.
2:15-2:22 I didnt realise hatcheries can now be made in 9 seconds!😂
4:40 - "If there's a massive Terran army nearby, why aren't they helping!"
That's YOUR army, though! The troops you train on the ground is the cost to build their equipment and suit them up so they can go out and fight, and you need supply to keep them well-fed and well-equipped while they're on the ground because it's too inefficient and time-consuming to ferry supplies back and forth from the Hyperion.
ok, but why wouldnt they shoot some nukes and destroy all zerg activity on the ground? why bother sending hundreds of marines to be killed on land?
Probably the orbital command center calls the mules that are built in a space station that serves the role as a satellite as well and just floats around the orbit.
They're fighting the big space battle while the low tier commanders battle to secure a location. You can't expect Raynor to micro every single unit in a massive fight.
Raynor as in the lore hero, not the player. You can definitely expect Raynor the player to micro everything in a big battle.
10:19 Oliveira lost both of those full medivacs at the six o'clock, I just wish I could have seen how. Probably hydras though.
If you follow the zerg army on the minimap until lowko shows it, it was hydras.
Creep spread was nuts
those widow mines in the end hit nothing but overseers xD
It's quite a trick to push a rabbit out of a hat
the ones creating and dropping mules also scanning is the science vessel that has cloaking ability 😅
Landed Viking inside medivac is how you know they are messing with you
Due to the new draft system with 9 maps you get to pick a map after the first pair of bans so I guess terrans ban radhuset as first ban and then zergs pick equi as first pick (could be wrong tho)
4:47
I assume bc there’s also an equally powerful Zerg or Protoss force. Like you’re just the ground part of a larger engagement
Did anyone else see Solar make a hive and then cancel his infestation pit at 28:10?
Olivera games are awesome because they are so funky.
They really wants to help. But the energy from minerals, is nedded to teleport them down.
Aggressive killer instinct bio play is how olivera took down reynor in the world championship
Please make a video with a brief explanation why that particular and another maps are bad/good for each race?
It depends on strategy. Generally Zergs that like to macro prefer large maps with more open spaces as they can engage against sieging armies easier and have more opportunity to create a surround. Zergs that cheese would rather play on smaller maps because the rush distance is short.
Terrans prefer maps with plenty of choke points, ledges, and difficult to reach airspace (libs).
Protoss prefer maps with closer expansions and more difficult entries into their expos to better defend them.
Those are just some examples. However these map designs rarely ever offer any substantial advantage.
@@carlmarl6531 cool, ty!!!
Idk if I have seen a cast of Olivera winning any games since he became world champ
Perhaps Oliveira likes getting a delayed hit of minerals hehe
To be able to load a landed viking into a medivac is just ridiculous and imbalanced. Instead of risking to loose my vikings I load them into a medivac instead of transforming back and flying away. Also it just takes 2 places in the medivac, what the hell is this? Why is Terran the only race that has abilities from the other races (self-healing, burrow, blink/teleport) but Z and P don´t?
As a competitor he might be playing equilibrium just to challenge the meta
I think Oliveira refuses to stop practicing Equilibrium for future tourneys. I think he’s playing for the late game.
Does anyone else keep thinking that with the name of Oliveira, the dude is from Brazil or South America? Just throws me off everytime! Haha
Woooooo!!
i know the answer is likely to be 'cause its inefficient' but is making zerg hactheries just for extra unit production really that bad of a move?
Used to be very common, known as macro hatch.
So reapers can heal themself now?!
been that way for years..
what does macro play mean?
Orbiting terran command craft sends MULEs down in exchange for terran players boosting the reception for their TVs.
The only Terran win rate Oliveira cares about is Oliveira's. Statistics be damned!
Thumbnail says 75+ but title says 60+?
pro-gamers are sensitive to small changes, and statistics are tricky things. shaving a few seconds makes a huge difference for pro-gamers. for statistics there are nuances that are missed by most people, one well known one is gun violence. banning guns lowers gun violence, but violence in general goes up when it is banned and people typically argue using general violence stats then when a ban happens use gun violence stats without realizing that those are two separate stats. a UK set of stats was used for a long time which showed a drop in violence after banning guns, however when looking at the more granular statistics there was a short lived spike after guns were banned which corresponded with the increase in police which followed shortly after the ban on guns, and we know that more police means less crime. we could talk about false accusations of rape or any other subject in which statistics are often used to show how statistics are nuanced and used incorrectly. we probably don't need to get into silly things pros do to give themselves a small edge, like the extractor trick, that most end up using because they work and make a big difference in the long run. this is why when a pro does something that isn't backed by statistics there is a 50-50 shot that they know something the statistics aren't showing.
Gods it feels like Terrans are always in such a sorry state. The only way to win is to take control of the game from minute 0:00 and put on so much pressure that you never lose control of it.
Widow mines kill your own shit. Tanks kill your own shit.
Banelings don't kill your own shit. Fungals don't kill your own shit. Disruptors don't kill your own shit unless you are very, very bad. Storms kill so much more of their shit that it isn't even worth mentioning.
All of our tools for dealing with deathballs and swarms are so lackluster, that in a 1 to 1, the enemy gets a split, and terran loses, or the enemy is protoss, and terran loses. Cause protoss units are chonky and strong, except stalkers.
The only time Terrans can win is when they never let the other race get off the ground.
Lowko bro please stop putting endings in titles. Love your vids
First boiii
Lowko could take these noobs 2v1.
22:18 but you where right, if not bc z got so over extreme nerfed and t constantly gets buffed this wouldn't have happened, and honestly when you fail so hard on your first all in that you lose everything except 1 medivac and some marines then it should be gameover, but no, T just push, stem 3 times before the engage even happens and still win fighting surrounded on creep outnumbered outplayed, against their counters, outresourced and out supplied, ow and outmicroed as Z is microing two fronts...
honestly its hard to watch
You have to take statistics with a grain of salt. Yes, the average win/loss percentage is bad for terrian, but that is based on the average player. Some players' abilities are above that average. If Oliveira wanted to be practical about it, he should consider the stats. However, every pro player in any category will do their own analysis because the statistics aren't as clear-cut as many might believe.
For example, I wonder why pros are fighting for gold bases. Wouldn't it be ideal to just grab those minerals with your workers and rally back to a safer drop-off? I'm sure this concept doesn't work in every scenario, but you have to admit that there are at least a few where this approach makes more sense. I mean, you are getting twice the minerals. In a way, it does pay for the delay.
u know the 38% stat is from pro games
@@rattusgrenadus8291 How many players do you think are in that category?
@@kingsgambit7098 the ones that matter
@rattusgrenadus8291 The answer is 100's. Maybe even a thousand, if not more. Oliveira is the world champion. He should be challenging the statistics.
Algorithm comment
LowKo eats a COUPLE of boogers for breakfast 🍳
You are a freak nobody on this planet wants
The maps are terran penal colonies, so the terran army in orbit oesnt WANT to help.
so bullsh*t
