7 roaches is an adaptation to the new cyclone.
Cyclone health: 110
Roach damage: 7*16 = 112
Makes sense!
24:16 That was the biggest Widow Mine betrayal I have ever seen.
there was a game Stephano vs forgot who, i think 4 medicvacs full of marines died the same way, was like a big turnament i think, was beautifull to watch
Neat to see the medivacs blow up differently when he reruns the deathly strike
vs ForGG@@TheProject87
I did not know that widow mines damage ground and air targets in the same area simultaneously even if only either of the ground or air gets targeted…😂
@@TheProject87 I think I remember that! Wasn't it one of the very first WCS EU playoffs?
24:19 There’s actually TWO traitorous widow mines. The first one weakens the Medivacs, and the second one finishes them off.
This cast turned into an episode of "The musings of Lowko". "In this episode... Is it a promotion or a punishment to be a drone and turn into a hatchery? A Corruptor into a Broodlord?" and I love it!
Can't agree more!
Luckily, the Zerg are all one consciousness, and so moral questions about individual sacrifice are moot. Is it punishment to trim your nails and cut your hair?
Someone should make a quiz with a bunch of questions like that and varying degree of "strong promotion" "weak promotion" etc.
11:55 perfect example of "god forbid every explosive units be nerfed but let's give the Widow mine a buff"
I think Terrans have to work very hard for their units and everything but you can end up building such a specific army with it that it's just crazy
But what do I know, Im out of the Game for 5 years now 🤔🤔😂
A "Gambit" is literally a play where you sacrifice something in exchange for possible advantage later. Queen's Gamit is a Queenside sacrifice to maneuver for a better position. Literally, exactly what it describes. This is exactly how Starcraft strategies are named, actually.
that solo jimmy being cared for by nurses and then redirected to a thor pilot is full duke nukem vibes :P
It’s time to kick gum and chew ass. But I’m all out of ass
-Dick kickem
Ok I have a new name for Zerg drops. Call them Zepplin Drops. They are slow like a Zepplin and kind just float there.
Also, a gambit refers to sacrificing a pawn for a positional advantage, which I think also is applicable to hatch/ebay natural blocks.
The crazy thing about the traitor widow mine is that there are actually 2 of them that consecutively hitting the medivacs. Like 1 of them could be a coincidence, but 2? Paid actors for sure
I really enjoyed the promotion v punishment banter 🤣
I've had similar thoughts
For everyone that want to see the traitorous mines, here 24:19.
Nah we want to see the game. Thanks though
47:55 Lowko misses the 10 banelings runby that you can see in the minimap at 12 o'clock because once the banes morphed and started moving, they all died at once (probably to a widow mine) That hurts... And at 48:18 you can see he moves his mouse to jump to that area of the map, but there is nothing to look at, so he saw something move there, but it's gone.
The gambit is good to use as a name, from Italian Gambetto, opening in which you sacrifice a piece with the aim of getting an advantageous position
Today I learned banelings don't deal friendly fire
Imagine if they did!! First two explode and kill the ones behind it triggering a chain reaction that destroys the whole army. Game might finally be balanced…
Ling, promoted to baneling, shouts: What a day! What a lovely day!
I was wishing for a PvP of Clem vs Reynor but i still love the treat! Thanks Lowko!
Game number 1 was a crazy match
amazing game !
lowko i hope you come with good names for stormgates moves.
You should have had made the widow mine explode in Lowko’s face for the thumbnail
"A man who had half his units commit Sudoku" - Lowko
🤣🤣🤣
I was rocking stealth banshee rush in the Wings of Liberty beta. 75% win rate over about 300 games, through all the resets.
Thanks Lowko!
56:40 as an American driver this is what I say all the time when people brake unnecessarily: "Don't brake, just go!"
I thought the widow mines friendly fire was intentional on some of those hits.
I used to sacrifice a few overlords/seers by having them hover over enemy troops ahead of my attacking army.
If you've got minerals to spare it can really work to your advantage.
1. If they're targeting the air, it means my ground troops reach them healthier.
2. If they're not targeting the air, it means there's a constant threat of widows hitting their own troops. Also means they're on cool down, sparing my ground troops.
Win/win!
I can confidently imagine this guy in a family meeting, as all of them sit down to eat, Simon randomly starts to narrate whats going on xD
25:55 face palms then commits SUDOKU
🤣🤣🤣
did you just say, "half of his units commit sudoku"?
Yea, he did :)
The algorithm would demonetize a video with the correct s__cide word, I'd imagine. Noticed a lot of true crime channels that won't say that word for fear of that happening.
best to not talk about the problem@@natecw4164
I dunno if seppuku would get demonetized. He may have confused the words or just making a joking.
It's a pretty old meme to use sudoku instead of seppuku

26:00 - Lowko.. not sure if it's some kind of joke I'm not privvy to, but this is the third video in which I've heard you use "sudoku" instead of "seppuku" lol
'commit sudoku' has been a meme for a long time, so it is most likely intentional. Mind you, at this point, I'm sure there are some people who *only* know the meme, and thus use it unironically.
@@Talyrionsudoku sounds better anyways
Did you say sudoku...? Think you meant seppuku 😂
It's sudoku, definitely.
22:45- Marines: Waiiiiiiiiittttt for ussssssss!!!!
Medivac pilots: They'll expect some of us to be in the wreckage brothers! 😂
great game!
Esl na open cup starts at 7pm est idk how long it takes to get to finals probably like 3-5 hours so starts at like 1am in France end arounds 4am to 6am
I was playing beautiful silver league... some guy massed BC's... I panicked once I saw and started doing vikings and widowmines. I put the mines throughout my base, had about 27.. just sprinkled where I thought he'd jump into. He pops in and losses almost half of his forces in 20 sec due to just 'boom, boom, boom'. he did not quite, but started trying to mass again.
I took the vikings like in that one campaign mission with the colinists and started landing next to expansions.. dead in seconds.
Was a fun 30 min game lol
Clearly Lowklo has never heard of the Penguin Bros attack
Lowko you may not know, but Jack Frost was a firebat in one of campaigns in SC1.
The way Rayor uses widow mines, anything becomes a baneling
baneling nerf content 6:05
can we please mention that widow movement at 11:50 to protect them? insane! xD
25:56 did you really said "commit sudoku"? lol
"Commit sudoku" :D
Rip Zerg, they’re definitely feeling that baneling nerf. Yet Terran can have the super efficient widow mine. Oof
Don't forget Ghost which counters every late game Zerg unit. Oh and is good against zerglings and trades well enough against banelings in resources lost to kill a ghost.
@@ryanj610 i dont play this game but the ghost are stupidly OP. snipe is more OP than Yamato cannon and they can cloak
this cast is so funny😂
6 am bedtime and 3 pm wake up time. That is with exceptions of if games are going well or a friend is online.
Baneling is punishment, you go from all you can eat zergling into a rolly Polly boom boy that doesn’t get to celebrate eating the corpses in victory as u would as a zergling.
Lmaooo... please tell me we are sneaking in a mention of the beneling nerf every game... lol too funny!
The Zerg regard all assignments, no matter how grand or mundane, to be promotions, for all they do is undertaken in service to the betterment of the Swarm.
Now, SCVs on the other hand, gotta wonder about the guy who gets sent out to repair bunkers under fire. Do they send their best to make sure they do a good job, or do they send someone low-ranked to not risk them? Do they draw straws? Or do the SCVs get together and chat "hey, Steve is a real dumbass and kind of a pain, next time one of us is needed on the frontlines, we're sending him."
EDIT - Canonically, Archons burn themselves out shortly after creation without some external force of psionic energy to sustain them, so merging into an Archon is seen as the highest sacrifice a Templar could make and the Protoss greatly honor them.
clem is microing mines in 11:50 like god
I noticed that too - I guess that's another thing that separates us from these gods!
26:00 pretty sure it's not sudoku lowko, p sure it's seppuku hahaha
Gambit was around before chess and easy could be applied to sc2. Alot of cheese is basically gambit
The episode was more of lowko just roleplaying
I'd just like to point out in the Wings of Liberty Days 🤓: We had what we called the "Destiny Cloudfist" build, so don't tell me Terran's can't have cool build names.
Widow Mines are so busted I can't wait for patch Terran to eliminate all top Zerg Player in Katowice 🙂
Nerf MULEs too. That game 5 push would have won against Protoss but Terran can brush off the SCV loss too easily
*Stephano vs ForGG* Flashbacks
Archons can go back into templars i thought
But if that Templar, who speaks and thinks only about football, with which you're merging - you'll be liking that football right away. It's like a stupid-ness pill - you drink it and you're happier.
Two high Templer to an Archon is a Promotion. But two dark Templer is not. Cause you loose your cool cape and stealth.
Jimmy in game 4 clearly the Master Chief😂❤ love to see it
So maybe its John and not Jimmy Lowko🤔🤭
Best of NA comes from Europe.
Good job, guys.
Tbh I prefer the simple names. It is wawaaaay easier to recall them as non pro player 😅
on that 3rd game, if reynor had just made like 20 reapers in the beginning. he could have won.
gambit is just an old word for gamble. so 'Queen's Gambit' wasn't as inventive of a name when it was invented, and if taxis ever fall out of favor then the 'German Taxi' might be a cool sounding name.
Do you guys think that Lowko saying the word “funky”, sounds a bit funky?
So many people commenting about sudoku, God I feel fucking old.
Lowko. Take your hand off your wand...
best reaper control should be Byun isnt it?
The name thing is because chess is several hundred years old and does nkt change, only the meta does while Starcraft is young and there are patches..
"Half his army commit SUDOKU"
Played games?
Hey Lowko, love your videos but can you lower the in game music. As someone with adhd, I end up listening to , and thinking about the music and missing your commentary 🤣🤣
Sudoku??? You mean seppuku!
one nerf on banelings and all zerg players crying their heart out, i remember the same situation for protoss sky and they were like "its not the end of the world, play something else blabla..."
FINALLY someone beat clem! Getting sick off him
So many younglings didn't get the ritual sudoku joke...
Seppuku not Sudoku LOL
24:20
Overstimmed marines to 1hp - punishment or a bliss :)
second by accident.dint know about the time:D
Friendly reminder to zerg player: use widow mines more often they're good unit 🐧
@lowko, Clem's units didn't commit Sudoku, lol, they commited Suppeku
Hydra to lurker is weak. Lurkers should have a ground to air 100%
Can lowko can a single cast without mentioning the baneling nerf? Someone seems a little triggered…
20:08 the best Terran build is obviously the Boomer Kaboomer.
suiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Omg stop saying sedoku instead of seppuku. 😂
Is reynor gonna stop being a B and win finally
😶🌫
Clem isn't better it's just that terrans over buffed
Second💪
Si jamais y a un fr qui veut jouer je suis débutant et cherche qq pour des conseils
It's not as epic as ForGG one, good though.
Seppuku not sudoku 😅😅😅
No no, it's definitely sudoku
*whoosh*
18:28 So how much? Half a million or five hundred thousand? .)
First!
not first?
LowKo eats a COUPLE (like 7 of them since he thinks 3 or more means a couple) of boogers for breakfast 🍳
Yooo I was banned on my political X account 🤣🤣🤣
Banelings banelings, good. The nerf was needed. Just how the nerf to voidray was needed.
"Committing sudoku" be like:
marine:
16373
27436
38364
28763
2boom
Lowko! Its not Sodoku! Its Seppuku! When will you get it right?
