neko neopolitan...welp, I'm terrified. same opinion on battlecruisers, they pretty much always make for an interesting game...unless they just end up showcasing how powerful vipers can be like in those mass cyclone games, it might make sense to force vipers to only eat units instead of letting them munch on buildings.
@@ilikememes1402 I have it installed on my PC (which i barely open) - even have a 144hz screen, but time is of the essence. Have 2 small kids, gaming was my life before haha
@@e4Bc4Qf3Qf7 yeh, this is true. once you've got a thorough understanding of the game, it's pure fun. it can even be very fun if you're not the type who gets frustrated when they're learning something new. if you're the kind of person who gets angry and upset when they lose, RTS is not for you (unless you turn that anger into drive and dedicate yourself to getting better at it).
I swear I've been hearing you get excited about battlecruiser's since early Hots. Your accent has really changed since then too. I actually still have print out build order guides you used to put out, keep doing you.
TaeJa's widow mine drop at 30:19 was absolutely gold. Even though being way behind, Taeja proves that micro can change an uneven fight. I was almost 100 that he was going to GG, and altough he did, that play kept him in the game for another 5 minutes. That's what makes Starcraft such a good game
battlecruisers and carriers are the two most hype units for anyone old enough to remember the glory days of brood war. makes me feel so much nostalgia. honorable mention to goliaths, dragoons and lurkers
Lowko, that game was FANTASTIC! Never have I stayed an entire hour for a SC2 match, but that BC swap was incredible. Even at the 50 minute mark I could've sworn Scarlet was gonna pick up the dub, but seeing that squadron of BC's come right at the end to save the Terran force brought a huge smile to my face. I'm always rooting for the BC's after the latest update, and it was awesome to see it overcome one of the greatest Zerg players of all time! You're the best, Lowko!
Love this! Hope you are doing well, my first SC2 UA-camr! You have inspired me to work on something I love, thanks to you I could work on alpha star which plays SC2
I mean you can allow it do that, like to make it truly terrifying, letting it pull the data of the CPU (am not sure about exact location it’s either RAM/CPU. I believe it pulls of something from the memory bus while it’s in the CPU and not off the RAMbut don’t take my word for it) is OP-OP. So like for example, as soon as you target a stalker with your bunch it knows, and before the stalker laser hit yours, it blinks.
@iohan Kellerman, like letting it do things outside is screen is pointless unless it playing against another AI, it will just like kill you with a perfect micro and triple drops. Like just pull the data of the CPU it’s tracks units and projectile everywhere, it can blink on two sides of map, use fungal growth and parasitic bomb simultaneously with like perfect, to just wreck you. I mean it looks cool but like it’s an unfair advantage
@iohan Kellarman, I don’t think we plan to play giants other AI, but here’s a cool thing we are aiming for, so like it will have micro of someone normal great like innovation or Gumiho, will make micro error but will always win because of great scouting and perfect build order understanding and very unique play like it does for chess. That will truly be scary because like, Starcraft is all about shouting and understanding where enemy army is and we have seen something in the networks ! Keep your fingers crossed, we may win the next GSL, without godlike micro on stalkers
these is one of the most beatiful series i've seen ever. also the last jump was just the PERFECT tactical jump. i wonder if there is match like teja vs solar (or other top 5/10 whatever protoss)
Goliaths are useful. Why doesn't anyone use them? Aren't they still capable of attacking both ground and air at the same time? Does more damage to air than ground so add some firebats and you'd be covered for a decent counter attack. 47:00 lowko didn't seem to notice the production tab.
This comment is pretty late, but Damn Man, I remember watching TaeJa all kill some teams in early SC2. By far my favorite sc2 player of all time. And I'm a protoss player
i wish there was a "total resources gathered" just for these early game attacks when scvs are forced away, just to see how much resources behind you get. especially when the zerglings are not even actually killing them to see in the "lost tab"
@@mynillywita9milli exactly! context is everything. "i really hate girls..." "i really hate girls when they get emotional and irrational" see? context matters.
i love having 2 bc teleport to main of the opponent and just snipe the tech.Like,it looks like you have to make the infestetion pit again.Or you really want to make 2 cybernetic cores even if you are not going into air.Having fun with tech labs?Guess what gone now.
Since the nerf of ravens i havent seen a single game where terran had equal ccs as op and still win in late game. That was a amazing. Junping across the map and really using mech speed to outrun oppenant, abd using tsnks like immortals was cool.
Neural Parasite is ridiculous. Even if it cost the Infestor its life a bit like Scourges and Infestors cost as much as a Carrier, it would be ridiculous.
I fucking love watching taeja when I was first getting into sc2 back in 2011 he was the reason I choose terran as my race of choice, his control is truly something to marvel at, in that first game he was picking off banelings like it was easy. Essentially what im saying is I hear bcs I watch I see taeja I scream.
I suppose this shows that if there's enough battlecruisers, even if you have enough infestors and vipers to control them properly, you simply might not have the damage output to actually kill them. Fungal growth keeps them in place but it doesn't stop them from shooting. As long as tactical jump is a thing, battlecruisers are going to have a use; the ability to be anywhere on the map at will is always going to be a powerful ability.
Would be nice for the other races if they made the jump to location, you have to have vision. So terran would have to scan or send a unit out to said jump location.
Do you think a proxy expansion could work well with early Battlecruisers? That way you can jump them in from production in the main and return them closer to the enemy base.
This was great to have on while getting through the enormous pile of dishes I've got! Even if it frequently distracted me from the task. ;P Thank you for the stellar content!!
Could have should have, taeja expanding later rather than sooner ensured he got a bank and scarlett didnt, zerg cancelling units looses the larvae, while terran and protoss can just cancel and make something else as long as they had the infrastructure, basically the zerg race is less kind when mistakes are made, lets also not forget that in a time long past ( starcraft 1 ) mass battlecruiser/carrier was the ultimate deathball of which taeja is most familiar with
Battlecruisers are only useful when the other player doesn’t build any Vikings, corrupters and void rays. Also here is what I used against Zerg players: 8 siege tanks 8 thors 8 battlecruisers And 16 Vikings to win but I usually get hit by Ultralisks for out of no reason when I have those units.
so glad the BC sealed the deal. like 9 out of 10 games, mass BC would get wrecked by zerg so bad. Never even thought Taeja would jump the BC into the zerg army.
53:10 oh man, some of the worst management by a pro of battlecrusers I have ever seen in that one fight. Also some great control of the zerg army. 55:25 that is how you use BC's, strategically jump around the map, sweep across mineral lines, and get a GG.
seems like the difference on the "best" and top players are that the best rarely/never seems to die to single pushes anymore, with the best there is a constant push from both sides and need several fights to get the win. go one step down to the top players and everyone dies to 1 bad move, to much micro which is too punishing if not the absolute best players in the world (like 3-4 players can do it). ^^
21:58 that's not exactly correct. The terran focus fired the first tank shots on banelings. The zerg lost a significant amount of them basically for free.
Terran: Battlecruisers and Tanks. Classic units. Zerg: We got infestors and vipers. Nothing in the game can stop it. We don't even Zerg anymore. We Mind Control. Blizzard: Yes. This is how it do. Me: Who at Blizzard is intentionally working to destroy this epic game? Stop thinking. "Uh, let's just switch everything up and change it all around!" Do not fix what is not broken.
The alpha level moves. "Oh, the strategy is to yank my BCs into your army? Okay. We'll play that game." *tactical jumps 10 BCs into the Zerg army* XD
lol
But the ALPHASTAR level moves are just to use mass stalker.
@@FlyingDominion if you can micro your stalkers perfectly, that's as good as unkillable units right?
Im a simple man.
I see Battlecruisers, I click.
same.
Néo?
neko neopolitan...welp, I'm terrified.

Me too :)
All crews reporting.
Love watching BC's in action! They are really fun units
Only when operational.
Battlecruisers, truely Lowko's true love
Video about battlecruisers published on Valentine's Day. Coincidence? I think not
ahhh they ALL LOOK ALIKE
As a zerg player, Lowko can make Battlecruisers
if you can bottle cruiser you has good economy!
I thought it was Scarlett
Mass Battlecruisers? This is the best Valentine's Day gift ever.
12:10 Those are some godly splits on Terran.
How did I not notice that
Pretty Standard for TeaJa. He was the best Terran in the World before he went to Military Service.
the magic words, "maxed out on battlecruisers"
guaranteed to be a good time ;]
cattlebruisers are my fav
Drinking game:
Drink everytime lowko says there is no denying
I'm out of booze...
"relatively easily"
"Hydralisk attack speed nerf"
you want people to die, don't you?
Aaaaand alcohol poisoning!!!
don't actually play sc2, but I really enjoy your videos ! keep going, new fan here!
you really should play the games its free not the campaign but the multiplayer is 80 % free except for the coop commanders

The AI is so op, wondering how would it be if you would let him do thing outside his screen to, in that case it would be for sure unbeatable

I need more Lowko acapella SC tunes in my life
Old school SC player from 90's. Love seeing the BC's back in action!
The Terran music in SC 1 is the FREAKING BOMB!!!
Yeah. Especially heavens devils. Every time i hear that track, i get childhood flashbacks par exellance.
I love battlecruiser games. I’m always on the edge of my seat
Love watching Scarlett play, please cast more of her!
these is one of the most beatiful series i've seen ever. also the last jump was just the PERFECT tactical jump. i wonder if there is match like teja vs solar (or other top 5/10 whatever protoss)
that AMAZING scv surround in the early game of those zerglings
Now I feel old because I know TaeJa and saw him in his prime.... (4:48 - 5:06) Thx Lowko...
I think the second match was my favorite of all time. Scarlett always has a surprise to pull out of her hat, and that swarm!
Man every time i see Taeja i remember the game when he played bio vs mech against innovation . That was the most epic game i have ever seen.
Boris Mitic do u remember which game this was?
I know that game your talking about, it's ridiculous good !!
Can I get some sauce?
can you send the link of that game?
7:47 Since when did Terran get Mutalisks? I must know.
Gotta love games where you want to root for both players. Those fights were tight!
Wow, that 2nd game in particular. Impressive play on both sides.
I like how you are a zerg player but have just as much enthusiasm for battlecruiser play as I do (I a filthy terran). Keep up the great content lowko!
I think this is the first time I've seen infestors+ vipers fail against air. Excited to see a strat that worked that wasn't 20 ghosts spamming snipe
that tactical jump on top of all zerg air units was legendary.
BC'S and cyclone/Hellion for bases into BC'S & Siege tanks for the kill! Man TaeJa is SO GOOD!
Sometimes when I am watching casts on the full screen, I would move my mouse or click on accident, but then realize that I'm not the observer.
Taeja is back!! loves his games
I think it is a testament on how demanding Terran is a race, so many top players wearing there wrists down.
Goliaths are useful. Why doesn't anyone use them? Aren't they still capable of attacking both ground and air at the same time? Does more damage to air than ground so add some firebats and you'd be covered for a decent counter attack. 47:00 lowko didn't seem to notice the production tab.

can we just appreciate that bc skin?
Note to Self: before "HELLO EVERYONE MY NAME IS LOWKO!!!"
This Terran 4 track which at the time you mention the Terran music, is in my opinion the best track of SC2.
38:08 Of course it is. Terran music is what I hear when I think Starcraft (that and all the Terran quotes).
I quote ghosts all the time.
"I'm thinkin' the same thing."
"I'm waitin' on _you_ ."
"Finally."
... Ok, it's mostly quoting Kerrigan.
i wish there was a "total resources gathered" just for these early game attacks when scvs are forced away, just to see how much resources behind you get. especially when the zerglings are not even actually killing them to see in the "lost tab"
If you can you should cast more of the upcoming pro player 'alpha star' :P
"I'd rather lose a drone than lose a creep tumor?" That's mental.
"...at this point of the game" context matters
@@mynillywita9milli exactly! context is everything.
"i really hate girls..."
"i really hate girls when they get emotional and irrational"

Everyone wants a Lowko announcer pack. I want a Lowko acapella music pack.

So glad teaja is back
45:30 That was Battlecruicist, Lowko.
That's the ghost battlecruiser that was mysteriously not counted in one of winters videos. Its come back
I don't even play Starcraft. I used to play back in brood wars but Lowko. Your sc2 and Zelda content and have made me a happy subscriber! :)
I haven't seen BC plays lately...
What I imagined where the BCs went:
vacation?....
What was actually happening:
waiting for TaeJa to play mech...
I fucking love watching taeja when I was first getting into sc2 back in 2011 he was the reason I choose terran as my race of choice, his control is truly something to marvel at, in that first game he was picking off banelings like it was easy. Essentially what im saying is I hear bcs I watch I see taeja I scream.
holy moly look at that creep spread in game 2
Scarlet always used to be known for good creep spread.
There's no denying that lowko likes the phrase "no denying"
I totally agree with you're announcement about terran music
Lars aka Krasiolet
5:11 THE MUSIC is right on que for that. lol
I suppose this shows that if there's enough battlecruisers, even if you have enough infestors and vipers to control them properly, you simply might not have the damage output to actually kill them.

What a cool game. For a zerg to hold off and beat so much heavy tech... Wow Scarlet is an assassin.
12:05 that Thor my man, is a hunk
If you wanna sweep the victory, bring a lot of guns, if that doesnt work, Bring More Guns.
Lol.. I can just imagine Lowko being a DJ at some ez rock station when he talked about the Terran music
Scarlet's creep spread is so on point.
Thx for mentioning the terran theme. Was looking for that exact theme the last couple of days but didn't find it...
That was some Admiral Thrawn shit right there at the end. Good Job.
after first game i was afraid "it was then for today" but then i watched time of the video and its 56mins
Quality content once more
beautiful commentary. I also love battlecruisers.
As Jesse Cox said "BUILD THOSE CRUISERS!"
Do you think a proxy expansion could work well with early Battlecruisers? That way you can jump them in from production in the main and return them closer to the enemy base.
lowko doing a perfect 2 base timing upload
That creep spread was insane in game 2. The creep was touching taejas third base before 11 minutes
I really think that quickly pushing your whole army into the zerg is the correct action. Otherwise your units will just get abducted one by one.
This was great to have on while getting through the enormous pile of dishes I've got! Even if it frequently distracted me from the task. ;P Thank you for the stellar content!!

Ah that tactical jump at the end. AlphaStar would make the same decision :D
What a epuc match! BC haras is gonna be the domain power!
Been missing Taeja!
Scarlett's defense is either rock solid or swiss cheese (usually in the mid game).
if you have BC, as soon as your enemy moves out, you delete their base.
Battlecruisers are only useful when the other player doesn’t build any Vikings, corrupters and void rays. Also here is what I used against Zerg players:
8 siege tanks
8 thors
8 battlecruisers
And 16 Vikings to win but I usually get hit by Ultralisks for out of no reason when I have those units.

Scarlet is scary with that creep spread
No way Lowko, Protoss music is the best. That Legacy of the Void soundtrack is the best in Starcraft (I know that is saying a lot).
Happy v-day lowko, you have an very big *smile*
i love me some good battlecruisers and wonderfull comentary as usual
Cant wait for taeja to go back to his prime
2:35 Scarlett should have held at the refineray gap to fight the SUV's. Would have got some kills.
I actually thought that Parasitic Bomb teleported with the BC..... looks like I was wrong! Hmmmm! Interesting. :)
21:58 that's not exactly correct. The terran focus fired the first tank shots on banelings. The zerg lost a significant amount of them basically for free.
