Hey Simon, just wanted to say out of my 26 subscriptions you have the most reliable upload schedule, even when you take a freakin' vacation! I imagine it's difficult even on good days, so thank you so much for the work you put into these.
I agree, I usually click on his videos either at lunch break during work or after the work day has ended when I'm cooking dinner. Really enjoy the content even if I haven't played SC2 in ages, his commentary reminds me of the whole routine you get into when you used to play 1v1 ladder. Of course, I was terrible, so I didn't climb very far. But I remember the names of units, buildings, and terms like "proxy" so it's just mostly fun to watch/listen to.
those first two games were absolute bangers! Also, I love pros playing on new maps, you can see them making all kinds of mistakes since the maps are not "solved" yet :D
I imagine the map creators wiping happy tears out of their eyes when they hear Lowko praising the art/design of their work in addition to the nonstop commentary. You're still the tippity-top of the commentary ladder, Lowko.
All added maps are high quality and enjoyable to play on or watch,i think we can look foward to some of the best times of SC2 in next year and i believe some of those maps will become classics
fun fact: (in case you arent good at math) the area between the income disparity graph line and the horizontal line gives you the total resource advantage for that player. for example you know that the bottom player has come back in total resources collected, when they managed to make the area below the middle as big as the area above the middle.
About the symmetry, what is disturbing is that it is looks like a rotational symmetry and not a vertical symmetry. Put a dot in the middle of the map (the middle of the middle bridge) and rotate all the map around for 180 degree and you will see the 2 others bridges coming one on top of the other
The fight at 15:35 from Nina is fucking insane, she went from 50 army supply behind to 20 army supply ahead. She wiped 70+ army supply without using really any. That’s nutty efficient
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of tanks I take a look at my supply, and realize there's nothing left Cause I've been injecting and droning so long That even the brood mother thinks that my army is gone. Been spending most our lives, living in the Tropical Sacrifice
great games, great casting! and great new maps. I love to see where SC2 scene is going, and it's definitely not going away! next step: map creators also add their own soundtrack to the map? :)
23:32 actually gumiho make 2 fusion core at the very beginning of the game, but suprice that lowko didn't see that. 5 mins didn't have it, 9:29 u can see the fusion core in main base i don't think the "income advantage" are that direct linkage to the unit count and who is stronger, the worker count seems better, and i dun know why they trade the base like that, not sure is it worth it.
I thought as a Protoss players a few more photon cannons would have helped immensely and force her opponent to move away from dedicated aerial harassment.
Casting from Excel spreadsheets you saying, huh? WE are going to FIND where YOU live and eat all your food from the fridge! Everyday. La gente esta muy lowka 👼
Lowko, many times you said that decorations make the map less 'legible'. What does 'legible' mean in this context? Also, thanks for the reminder to thumbs up! I always forget and feel bad.
Those new graphs certainly are shiny and cool, but they block most of the screen. Perhaps make them 1/4 the size and stick them in a corner so we can still watch the game?
Why do pro gamers not use their command centers to drop miners across the map to heal things like the BC's when they get injured? I never understood that, it seems to make so much more sense than flying home
Hey Lowko, can you mix up the naming of your videos? I believe you name your videos after whomever wins the set of matches you cast. If that isn't the case, then it is almost all the time. I personally would prefer to not know who wins the set.
Am I the only one that thinks that the Stargazers map look like a dog or something? Like the middle star is a nose the two to the right and left are the eyes, the upper bases on the far sides abopve the ears and finally the bottom centre base is the mouth! =)
I don’t understand your casting sometimes, when a reaper goes in and kills 2 drones sometimes you were like oh, that’s way more damage than that should’ve been done, but this time now 9 probes go down and you’re like oh, it’s not that bad….
Hey Simon, just wanted to say out of my 26 subscriptions you have the most reliable upload schedule, even when you take a freakin' vacation! I imagine it's difficult even on good days, so thank you so much for the work you put into these.
@jeff pentagon yes
Same I literally look forward to them. I don’t even spend time on UA-cam either
Lowko, you don't look like a simon 😂✌️

Simon 🤯
The classic triple engie bay into double fusion core
Name a more iconic TvP strat, I'll wait...
makes me wonder why they used the one way down the map for that upgrade if they had one in the main..
I see Tempest
I read Battlecruiser
I enjoy Lowko's casting
Simple and clean
You know what they always say: eleventh Battlecruiser's the charm!
I've never heard of this Nina before, but damn she really held up against GuMiho very well. Respect!
The artist formerly known as Puck
Yo, Checking out her sc2 liquipedia page says she beat Scarlett, 2-0.
@@Dr.Tropen Man that takes balls from both scarlett and nina in that epic match ;)
Puck decided he was a women.
Is nina trans?
Thank you. FINALLY a game where you told us where it is from. Thanks alot
those first two games were absolute bangers! Also, I love pros playing on new maps, you can see them making all kinds of mistakes since the maps are not "solved" yet :D
The Reason why Tropical Sacrifice confuses you is because it doesn't have mirror symmetry but rotational symmetry.
Like how an "S" has symmetry. The middle part Lowko is just a "S"
Thank you for casting Nina's games! I love seeing her play!
I imagine the map creators wiping happy tears out of their eyes when they hear Lowko praising the art/design of their work in addition to the nonstop commentary. You're still the tippity-top of the commentary ladder, Lowko.

22:02 BatttleCruiser: You gonna die for some probes 😏
PhotonCannon: Someone is 😐
Nobody:
Lowko: Look at this graph
>18:05 battle with massive 3 way surround
Lowko : lines go Brrrrrrrr
fun fact: (in case you arent good at math) the area between the income disparity graph line and the horizontal line gives you the total resource advantage for that player. for example you know that the bottom player has come back in total resources collected, when they managed to make the area below the middle as big as the area above the middle.
You gotta love lowko's childlike wonder at observer tools that winter has been using for years lol
Tropical Sacrifice looks amazing, going to look forward to playing on it soon enough.
It's a fun one! :D
About the symmetry, what is disturbing is that it is looks like a rotational symmetry and not a vertical symmetry.
Put a dot in the middle of the map (the middle of the middle bridge) and rotate all the map around for 180 degree and you will see the 2 others bridges coming one on top of the other
46:53 that shade was amazing
Appreciate the casts Lowko! Thanks for sharing.
We dont need a Lowko Creature!
What we want is a Citymap with a Trainstation & a Lowkomotive!
The fight at 15:35 from Nina is fucking insane, she went from 50 army supply behind to 20 army supply ahead. She wiped 70+ army supply without using really any. That’s nutty efficient
I live in subtropics, can confirm that's dirt. The geological term is "red soil".
Great cast and great set of games.
Tal'Dareem skins would look sick playing on tropical sacrifice!
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of tanks
I take a look at my supply, and realize there's nothing left
Cause I've been injecting and droning so long

great games, great casting!
and great new maps. I love to see where SC2 scene is going, and it's definitely not going away!
next step: map creators also add their own soundtrack to the map? :)
It looks like Stargazers will be a lot better than what I first imagined. It's a really interesting map.
Nice looking maps. Looking forward to playing them. The second map reminds my of a custom map I made on sc1 similar to big game hunters.
What memes of a game were the first two. and the maps are truely awesome
Gumiho is one of my favorites, and tempest rush games as well!
23:32 actually gumiho make 2 fusion core at the very beginning of the game, but suprice that lowko didn't see that.
5 mins didn't have it,
9:29 u can see the fusion core in main base
i don't think the "income advantage" are that direct linkage to the unit count and who is stronger,
the worker count seems better,
and i dun know why they trade the base like that, not sure is it worth it.
I am pretty sure the bridges on the tropical sacrifice map are point symmetrical from the center of the middle bridge
Tropical Sacrifice gave me a big Halo vibe similar to the forerunner levels on the beach.
gumiho strategy was the same as warfield:
Send in another gorgon!!
Finally casting Nina. It was about time
Time: it's Gumiho, not me
Lol the disappointment in lowkos voice. "Carrier yeah sure"
When you mind control the Tastetalope and the Artosilope you can merge them to get a caster archon!!
I thought as a Protoss players a few more photon cannons would have helped immensely and force her opponent to move away from dedicated aerial harassment.
Hey Lowko, did you know that in the SC 1 map editor there is a Tassadar/Zeratul Archon? It was a hero unit.
Did someone else notice the Ewok playing at the pond at 53:15???
Love this!
I'm really liking the last map!
Can someone make a compilation of every Lovkos OOh when he sees disruptors bowling?
What is the difference between the new and the old income graph?
Casting from Excel spreadsheets you saying, huh? WE are going to FIND where YOU live and eat all your food from the fridge! Everyday. La gente esta muy lowka 👼
i love the new maps so far
Nina playstyle looks like SoO one but with protoss, like "a little bit of everything of all the time"
Interesting fact: in platinum league there are only TVT matchups
In the third game gumiho brought he banshee home while the obs was on his side of the map! He could have killed the entire mineral line 🙃🙃
Long live the Lowkolope.....!!! Where is the reddit thread where folks draw it?
How many stalkers do defeat a cattle bruiser?
Which that first game played on a little longer!
Lowko, many times you said that decorations make the map less 'legible'. What does 'legible' mean in this context? Also, thanks for the reminder to thumbs up! I always forget and feel bad.
5head second fusion core to keep nina from suspecting the proxy :)
YEEESSSS TEMPEST! TEMPEST! TEMPEST!
wow finally a *new* and good Map.
What is a Zealot that smoked weed?
A High Templar.
Who is this UA-camr? He didn't introduce himself!
Gumiho just kinda didn't use Yamato on his Battlecruisers. He could have picked off a decent number of stalkers over the course of the early game.
perhaps he was Saaving eqnergy to move across the map? Yamato takes a lot of time to fire
yep love the cup of sugar meme
some really inefficent battlecruiser use that 1st game
A yes the reaper drop into 3 engie bays , classic builds very meta
I think you were singing gangstas paradise for the 3rd games map name
Who is the person narrating this video? I was not informed at the start.
So are widow mines out of pro play now???
Those new graphs certainly are shiny and cool, but they block most of the screen. Perhaps make them 1/4 the size and stick them in a corner so we can still watch the game?
Tactical jump must work like mass recall.
37:15 stand-off
How can you zoom out so much? When I play, I can't zoom out that much.
"disruptors absolutely perfect" -blown up zealots
lol I saw that
Gumiho just shows who is the daddy here
Ah, feel so uncomfortable seeing those probes standing near the gas of main nexus and doing nothing
why is this rendering so low? is your graphics card messed up?
First game that i watch Nina play, awesome Protoss, i hope to see her more often
Perhaps you've seen Puck before? same person.
Cringed back into my bed after hearing that tropical sacrifice joke 😆
I can't hear "Stay a while and listen," not in Deckard Cain's voice.
Data Sea is about 80% dead space, so that's fair.
third game was calm
That was some diamond league multiple unupgraded barely microed BC usage on game one, jeez
multiple opportunities to Yamato some units too and none were ever used in the entire game!
i kept thinking the red protoss is cheesing in the last map...but there´s no red protoss, just yellow. =p
i swear to god lowko every time you miss a major fight on the map going over some trivial things *&@!$%$
nina had more army but terran had more SVC. Interesting.
Lowko show GRAPHS more often XD
Rest in peace Steve the scv
felt like gg on game 2 was a bit early

yep, that is the Horde symbol. lol

Like the middle star is a nose the two to the right and left are the eyes, the upper bases on the far sides abopve the ears and finally the bottom centre base is the mouth! =)
I didn't know there were any female pro players! Awesome!
Edit: She's good too.
I don’t understand your casting sometimes, when a reaper goes in and kills 2 drones sometimes you were like oh, that’s way more damage than that should’ve been done, but this time now 9 probes go down and you’re like oh, it’s not that bad….
