The imbalance between 3 races has had much discussion but there are also significant imbalance within the races. Starcraft 2 has so many "near useless" units in its roster. Adept and reaper gets made few times early and never again, void ray and swarm host overnerfed to oblivion, zerg t3 units are objectively worse than t2, terran mech are objectively worse than MMM spam. Hard not to follow the meta when it just straight up lose you the game on higher levels.
its almost like for years ive been saying that if they just made patches that changes the game drastically so it felt "new" again. The game would be sooo good. but instead I just get flamed for wanting change..... years later people are starting to realize oh wait the same patch for 7 years is kinda boring.
@@hetaresgaming7771 You are correct.. I don't really play, I only played with my friends 5 years ago. I still enjoy watching professionals play the game with mastery, but I just said that I have MORE fun watching these types of matches because they are not predictable, they use "strategies" that we don't see at the highest level.
@@ranzrumJojoJDDom373 It really depends on how well they are used and countered. They are more expensive than a hydra, and if you biff it you'll have to eat the cost. But if you can get 1 or 2 good waves off, yes they pay for themselves. Very high risk/high reward.
Aaaahh that's so cool to be on the channel as invariant! TBH I have terran as main, so I'm so used to mules and salvaging bunkers and stuff, that in this situation I just decided to give up on workers and focus on the attack. However, SUDDENLY, I don't have that as toss. And then... well... that happened :)
I really enjoy these viewer/lower league matches. I don't skip the first 5 minutes and only rewind if the build or supply looks atypical. Thank you Lowko!
It's replay's fault, sometimes the system messes the chat if the messages are really close in time, it's rare but it happens. Not a major bug or anything.
As a relatively new viewer and SC player, this is the first time I have seen one of these viewer submission replays from you and I absolutely love, love it! I feel like I learned a lot more and it was so entertaining because I could tell how entertained you were. By the way, I have seen quite a lot of your videos but not nearly enough, because I didn't know these ladder matches were a thing here. Love this channel. The passion for the game is inspiring.
Would love to see you cast more games like this Lowko! We love pro games with folks like Serral, Dark, Maxpax, Hero, Byun, Maru, etc...but I feel like we need to see more of the lower leagues in here! So much good content to be had in non-Grandmaster or non-toruney games!
I love viewer games. It's the spirit of Dark and Hero. No idea what you'll get, and there will be stupid mistakes, but the crazy ways they'll win or lose are timelessly entertaining.
Zerg player's name is pronounced [Smut'yan]. Which can be translated as "troublemaker'. It's an old'ish russian word we don't really use it today. Unless you wanna sound fancy.
After watching high level games for a long long time, watching a goofy game where someones flies around the map with an oracle sniping drones and creep tumors was very refreshing. Ofc this worked because these players were still pretty good, bronze and silver games wouldnt be as funny.
'He needs to recall. That's what recall is there for. Oh he hasn't got energy. He's been chrono-boosting this whole time. First Diamond player to have no energy in his Nexus' Lowko you're so mean lol
Every time i see Lowko comment user submitted games, i know 2 things : 1. im in for some real treats, and 2. i start the "lowko frustration timer". This time, he lasted 1 min 25 sec. :D
Viewer submitted games are so much fun. But it also brought so much pain to see the single drone mine so far away from the spore. Literally the only thing mod had to do was to mine next to the spore and win :D
I downloaded the game again after 10 months. I've been struggling as a terran in diamond since 2018 so now I started to mainly play zerg, so far it's been somewhat miserable, but still fun, maybe diamond is my ceiling or maybe with zerg I can get higher
I have been in Diamond league at best throughout the years, so who am I to judge, but: the decision-making and micro in the 1st match was Bronze level-ish. Good to watch though. Second game was nice, decent macro from the Zerg player Paul and the micro wasn’t bad either, actually. However - if the Protoss player used his brain properly, he would build a couple or two couples of Void Rays, and then there could be a completely different outcome.
It's funny you say swarmhost one base doesn't work above diamond, because pig was the one who popularised it at 5.5k GM, after his GM protoss got beaten with it 😂
This is always so interesting to watch. Paul had 1000 minerals but stays on 1 base forever. Imagine if behind the swarmhosts he just drones up to 3 base saturation. Or if his opponent built more probes, was tighter with his warp ins and just killed Paul.
He literally had drones and a spore to move... And it felt like he was trolling or he was so pumped with adrenaline he got completely blind and oblivious of his anti-air... Just move the spore in the middle of the minerals and let the drones win the game. Hilarious and makes you scream at the screen for like a minute or two, especially being a hardcore Zerg player since StarCraft Original... was painful to watch
I just want to say that I don't appreciate these kinds of spoilers on the video intro. It's probably an incredibly entertaining series, but I won't be interested in watching it because I'll now know the outcome of the most interesting part. I understand that my opinion doesn't matter to anyone, but on the other hand, if no one writes about it, Lowko won't know.
I Drazzilb, not Drazzil-B, did submit the replay. I was quite tilted in the moment I will admit, however, after watching the replay I deemed that it was a pretty good game even though I lost. Ik I need practice……. sigh
I have much more fun watching these types of videos than watching the same META over and over again.
Exactly, the by the book approach can get a bit boring over time.
The imbalance between 3 races has had much discussion but there are also significant imbalance within the races. Starcraft 2 has so many "near useless" units in its roster.

I assume you don't play the game.

This one had the best Lokow evil laughs.
Yessssss more viewer games
The last game was sick
The irony of Medivacs is that they’re meant to evacuate and heal troops but they’re used to dump troops in the center of the enemy base
"cheap strat" to literally probably one of the most expensive zerg strats" hilarious
I was thinking the opposite.... swarm hosts with free units being cheap

I love professional, min-maxxed, meta games ofc, but I ADORE these goofy ahh games too!

And I spent too much time hunting tumors as it was not clear where they are and if the opponent as an active tumor or not
I'm not sure if you noticed, the hatch had 6hp when the draw happened)
He still had yhe spawning pool@@alexshagraev
@@cuddlecakes7153 maybe, but that would have reset the timer. Still, I agree with Lowko, he couldn't have killed the spore.
"Run man, run" absolutely slew me 🤣
I hope you do bring more of these wonderful games to light - always love the chaos of viewer sibmitted games!
Viewer submitted games are so fun! They should be featured at least once per week.
смутьян - smootyan (troublemaker)
I think it's better to explain the word смутьян, its rather more "turmoil maker" then troublemaker.
I really enjoy these viewer/lower league matches. I don't skip the first 5 minutes and only rewind if the build or supply looks atypical.
Thank you Lowko!
34:16 Drizzle heard him and spoke into the future.

I've been sick for the last 5 days, and watching this has given me well worth it coughing fits. Bravo! Best SC2 replay I've seen in a long time.
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Hope your weekend is going well. These viewer games are peak comedy. ❤
Lowko and his endless crusade of him trying to keep Zerg relevant... as far as casting goes I mean lol :D
Feeling really sick . . . Thank you for the video. This will make my day better.
Love you lowko. been watching you for forever and starcraft 2 was actually the first game I ever played as a kid. 21 n I still love it.
These games were ridiculous(ly fun). Please do more viewer games Lowko!
I love this stuff. I'm glad you brought these back!
Really fun to watch NORMAL HUMANS having fun after school/work. :)
Hahahh agree!
I've been playing sc2 for 5 years and this is the first time I see that oracle can take energy from nexus :D
its a new feature from the latest balance patch. high templars can get energy too
lol it came out like last week😂
Would love to see you cast more games like this Lowko! We love pro games with folks like Serral, Dark, Maxpax, Hero, Byun, Maru, etc...but I feel like we need to see more of the lower leagues in here! So much good content to be had in non-Grandmaster or non-toruney games!

27:44 hero probe sacrificed itself returning the last 5 minerals needed for new nexus
Zerg player's name is pronounced [Smut'yan]. Which can be translated as "troublemaker'.
It's an old'ish russian word we don't really use it today.
Unless you wanna sound fancy.
I cant remember the last time Lowko had so much fun streaming :D :D :D That last game was epic!
Great sportsmanship in that first game, you love to see it :')
"eventually i kill the hatches and sport will bleed" is one of the funniest plot twists ever
Paul is a real one. I love the swarm host as a concept unit, but it's hard to use in any meaningful way.
After watching high level games for a long long time, watching a goofy game where someones flies around the map with an oracle sniping drones and creep tumors was very refreshing. Ofc this worked because these players were still pretty good, bronze and silver games wouldnt be as funny.
Amazing game, loved that nydus swarmhost one 😅
Lowko dissing the swarm host, saying it wouldnt work at pro level, never saw that game against harstem😂
for Lowko, everyday is a special day.
Viewer games are top :) Thanks for casting those
'He needs to recall. That's what recall is there for. Oh he hasn't got energy. He's been chrono-boosting this whole time. First Diamond player to have no energy in his Nexus'
Lowko you're so mean lol
YES! I love when you cast viewer games!
Every time i see Lowko comment user submitted games, i know 2 things : 1. im in for some real treats, and 2. i start the "lowko frustration timer". This time, he lasted 1 min 25 sec. :D
We need more of this!
i love the way lowko loves these matches
Yay, i love when you do casts of plat games
the last game was an absolute apotheosis
that last game was epic. user games are 10x better than pros 😆
20:00 I almost spit out my drink
I went from pulling my hair out to laughing my ass off. LOL.
that was a great video and its so fun to feel how much fun lowko had with these games
that last game is game of the year worthy
Swarm host game was good but Drazzil getting tilted really made it great
Just wanna say I love the casts of the amateurs.
Wow the last one was definitely one of the games i have ever seen!
Hello and welcome back to another professional match in starcraft 2 what I got for you today is ..... That's your signature man
0:30 - it'd be pronounces something like Smutian
There are two types of platinum players; those in their way up, and those in their way down.
Viewer submitted games are so much fun. But it also brought so much pain to see the single drone mine so far away from the spore. Literally the only thing mod had to do was to mine next to the spore and win :D
I did enjoy watching these games, something different than the pros is interesting
you had one job with that spore, I feel so sorry for the drones
I was hoping after he got 2 drones to save for a queen to protect the drones a bit easier
I see or hear viewer submitted games i click like straight away
gotta love those viewer games
Maybe not game of the year, but definately throw of the year :D
I may be having intense stomach pain and vomiting, but lowko made my day better with viewer games.
We need a lowko giggle counter XD
The third game was incredibly painful to watch
I downloaded the game again after 10 months. I've been struggling as a terran in diamond since 2018 so now I started to mainly play zerg, so far it's been somewhat miserable, but still fun, maybe diamond is my ceiling or maybe with zerg I can get higher
Im a zerg that has never broke 2.2k mmr. If you want a buddy to beat on and try new builds/strats on let me know
@@coldloyalty my battle net is Marinad # 21840🫡
Dejavu, I've seen this lowko before (on the corner thumbnail)

Finally, more games closer to my level... unranked(bronze)
Pls, more videos like this 🙏
15:20 i gues that was to prevent cannon rush. it should be like 99% of vs protoss games in that league
34:20 Here, we discover that Lowko is secretly an American
Ngl first time I ever see "TIED!" end screen
Damn it, this was definitly a game :)
What did I just witness 😂
It's funny you say swarmhost one base doesn't work above diamond, because pig was the one who popularised it at 5.5k GM, after his GM protoss got beaten with it 😂
I think Paul didnt know he can control the Loctus, he sends the Swarm near the target so the Loctus autotarget makes it work.
Seeing games like these actually make me think I can play ladder...
How cruel to give me hope.
viewer games! always a treat
BETTER THAN PRO GAMES
G3 truly one of the games of all time
The most exciting games ever
This is crazy fun, lol😂
To be honest I will like to see more crazy like this yes
This is always so interesting to watch. Paul had 1000 minerals but stays on 1 base forever. Imagine if behind the swarmhosts he just drones up to 3 base saturation.
Or if his opponent built more probes, was tighter with his warp ins and just killed Paul.
Swarmhost on thumbnail? I’m in
He literally had drones and a spore to move...
And it felt like he was trolling or he was so pumped with adrenaline he got completely blind and oblivious of his anti-air...
Just move the spore in the middle of the minerals and let the drones win the game. Hilarious and makes you scream at the screen for like a minute or two, especially being a hardcore Zerg player since StarCraft Original... was painful to watch
I'd love for there to be a viewer submitted game day. One or two days per week
Every so often I see these games and think I can do better. Then I go for a standard build and get cannon rushed.
It's like Drazzil was talking to Lowko😭
That last match made me sick
I just want to say that I don't appreciate these kinds of spoilers on the video intro.
It's probably an incredibly entertaining series, but I won't be interested in watching it because I'll now know the outcome of the most interesting part.
I understand that my opinion doesn't matter to anyone, but on the other hand, if no one writes about it, Lowko won't know.
Cyrillic player is called Smutyan - though I have no idea what that might mean, and in which language.
That was fun
Viewer games are the best ❤
I Drazzilb, not Drazzil-B, did submit the replay. I was quite tilted in the moment I will admit, however, after watching the replay I deemed that it was a pretty good game even though I lost. Ik I need practice……. sigh
If he didn't meander so much, he could have sniped the tumors one at a time from full shields i think.
I want to ask, is it possible to take entire map by using nydus worm, then expand like crazy?
Last game, best game ever.
viewer games are the best
Bronze league games can be more entertaining than pros😂!!!!
