I really, REALLY would love to see an OFF-RACE TOURNAMENT - Lowko, you could make that happen! The rules: 1) regular tournament bracket 2) each game players play the race of the OPPONENT 3) in case of a mirror match, the two other races are assigned randomly, and in a series are swapped each match (so no mirror matches at all!) Get some sponsorship for it or crowdsource it so big names come - each match would be a blast to watch!
don’t make it a tournament, just pick 6 players whose main race spread across the 3 races. Have them fight the opposite races (4 matches for each player) but swap race. After that, we might have the answer if a race is OP
Great casting as always. You really got the talent of keeping the audience engaged even beyond the highlights of the match. Appreciate the quality content Lowko.
I never played star craft, the game never came to my country. But I fell in love with the game cuz of the commentating. Lowko is a commentating genius.
I mean, everyone can feel lowko fanboying when he mentioned him being mentioned by reynor. He's also excited to watch his two favorite zerg players, except, one of em is protoss.
I just liked the video because of the matchup. Not because i enjoy watching boring Zerg vs Zerg mirror matchups, no but because i love seeing new crazy stuff in SC2. --> Like Reynor playing Protoss against Serral^^
this game is just great!! raynor playing protoss and building no Sky-toss (just those 2 oracles) and playing this great ground-army style, makes you think is this could be a kind-of-meta that was always there but rarely played because of the sky-toss meta maybe the strategy is very good on this map only,and not that good on larger maps? who knows. i hope to see more Raynor-toss! keep up this amazing casting job Lowko! cheers from Argentina
Very good job Lowko! When playing Toss, both Clem and Reynor have a somewhat different playstyle compared to almost all professional Protoss Pro's, but still they are extremely good with it. Reynor out-macro'd and overwhelmed his opponent, similar to his Zerg way of playing. Since Toss is my favorite race for 22 years now, I love to see such variations. Isn't it incredible, that after so many years the SC series still manages to surprise us by means of possible efficient strategies? Or just think of the incredible styles of Has and Florencio. Hopefully, there will be a SC3 in the future...
When I play vs terran, I focus on armor. When I play vs zerg I focus on shields. Terran EMP so want the armor strong. When fighting zerg archon do bonus vs bio. So want them as strong as possible to splash damage all that zerg bio. Protoss vs protoss depends if I go robo or stargate. Robo gets armor and stargate gets shields.
Reynor is a chad jeez, watches your videos and wants you to cast him winning. So he send you a video of him beating the best player in the world, that he stream sniped, while he’s off racing. I love Reynor
the banes, 20-25 banes can kill several archons, but the second the archons are split or even the banes are split, its extremely inefficient. overall its a vulnerable fight with archons vs banes, let alone storm and biles. Thanks for the fun game Reynor, serral, and lowko!
The large surface area of the archons alone makes it so that the banes can't hit more than 4 or 5 at a time and the archons really need to be intentionally grouping up for that around the banes, considering you will need 19 banes detonating on archons and each archon can kill a baneling before it even gets into splash range. You will need each baneling detonating on 3 or more archons at once in order to trade equally with archons without archons even fighting back.
Random players have no chance - they all get destroyed horribly by the top 200 players. Playstyle had nothing to do with this win - Serral wanted to humiliate Reynor by beating him with a slow baneling anti-timing. Everything pretty much snowballed from there and Serral was not even trying to micro.
Bruh, we're fucked. One of the balance team members is Harstem, literally one of the most Biased Protoss casters in this game. Hence why we got a balance patch that did literally nothing to change the meta.
You just watched Serral, the best ZvP player on the planet, lose to the new Zergtoss style of Reynor and Hero, based around rapid Protoss expansion, mass gateways and continued massive runbys by zerglings, Im sorry zealots.
Lowko! I’ve been watching literally every day for about 6 weeks since I found you. Thank you for the content, you’re the only SC2 caster I watch and I can’t imagine anyone else
I am a protoss-main player. And Reynor is my favorite zerg player. Seeing him playing protoss and making it work, without void rays, from that balance patch, looks really good. Really nice game. Plus the end, with the Archon vs Banelings test.
Usually when talking about upgrades you mention attack first and armor second. So when someone talks about +1 +1 they usually mean +1 weapon and +1 armor upgrades. IN this case, Reynor went for weapon and shield (which technically is 1-0-1) so i guess that is why Lowko clarified that :)
I don't dislike Serral, but I don't usually like watching his games because it's almost always a "Serral Game" and you can tell by about the halfway mark he's got it in the bag, which just means he's a really good zerg player, but this was genuinely surprising. Maybe its just my tendency to like watching reigning champs lose, but this was a fun game to watch.
lol...Can we get a fucking balance patch already? Just because there aren't enough 10+ year old Protoss players dominating the scene like Terran/Zerg doesn't mean Protoss isn't extremely overpowered at every other level.
That seemed like Serral was playing with one hand, not even close to his normal game. Or Reynor have just stolen his account and making this game look like it is against Serral, but it was actually Reynor on two keyboards and monitors. 🤣
I really expected Serral to completely TRASH Reynor, but damn... I guess the map layout is more Protoss-sided. I would love to see them playing again on another, more "normal/standard" map with the same races.
Its nice to see that protoss are so underpowered (they never win anything right?) so that an offrace zerg actually can go toe to toe against Serral. Or MAYBE, its a mostly skill based game? And people should abandon all their whine? (Me included!)
Or maybe Protoss is just extremely overpowered and the reason they don't win the top tournaments is because they don't have any season vets that have been playing 10+ years straight like Zerg/Terran have?????
I really liked that demonstration of the Archon's tanking abilities at the end, really puts the fights with them into proper context.
I really, REALLY would love to see an OFF-RACE TOURNAMENT - Lowko, you could make that happen! The rules:
1) regular tournament bracket
2) each game players play the race of the OPPONENT
3) in case of a mirror match, the two other races are assigned randomly, and in a series are swapped each match (so no mirror matches at all!)
Get some sponsorship for it or crowdsource it so big names come - each match would be a blast to watch!
Or just watch people play generals zero hour, everyone plays random since the factions aren’t balanced against eachother B)
I don't agree with the rules about mirrors.
don’t make it a tournament, just pick 6 players whose main race spread across the 3 races.
Have them fight the opposite races (4 matches for each player) but swap race.
After that, we might have the answer if a race is OP
Your rules seem unnecessarily complicated and plain bad
@@jkkim6928 Well then how about giving some better alternatives?
Really cool to see off-races from Pro Players and also a fantastic game with nice casting, thanks Lowko.
amazing that reynor interacts with you and this community. makes him even more admirable aside from his stellar playstyle
Great casting as always. You really got the talent of keeping the audience engaged even beyond the highlights of the match. Appreciate the quality content Lowko.
I never played star craft, the game never came to my country. But I fell in love with the game cuz of the commentating. Lowko is a commentating genius.
That ending of showing the trade between archon and banelings was really nicely added
I would love to see some strategy game that meets the standard of starcraft ... I wish they make a 3rd one ..
Machines is a old strategy mech war game we're you also could go into the mech for a first person shooter action :D
It's glorious 👌
With they way blizzard is right now I wouldn’t want them to lol
Appreciate the demonstration of banelings against Archon at the end - nice touch, thanks for sharing!
Archon focus toss is really cool. Would love to see Reynor playing toss more.
Now I’m just imagining these guys using these accounts as their mains and the SC2 world championships are Simphunter Vs Napoleon
I mean, everyone can feel lowko fanboying when he mentioned him being mentioned by reynor.
He's also excited to watch his two favorite zerg players, except, one of em is protoss.
“SimpHunter” lol, I love Reynor
Hey Lowko. Thanks for your casting man. It really cheers me up on a tough day and I love that you've stuck with the game. Thanks again.
Man those two orcales got some work in. They survived to just shy of the 12:30 marker...
I just liked the video because of the matchup. Not because i enjoy watching boring Zerg vs Zerg mirror matchups, no but because i love seeing new crazy stuff in SC2. --> Like Reynor playing Protoss against Serral^^
Nice, always great to see the Protoss Ground Army!
this game is just great!! raynor playing protoss and building no Sky-toss (just those 2 oracles) and playing this great ground-army style, makes you think is this could be a kind-of-meta that was always there but rarely played because of the sky-toss meta
maybe the strategy is very good on this map only,and not that good on larger maps? who knows. i hope to see more Raynor-toss!
keep up this amazing casting job Lowko! cheers from Argentina
Toss has the best units in the game. They can make anything they want, make a unit comp out of it and win with it.
Very good job Lowko!
When playing Toss, both Clem and Reynor have a somewhat different playstyle compared to almost all professional Protoss Pro's, but still they are extremely good with it. Reynor out-macro'd and overwhelmed his opponent, similar to his Zerg way of playing.

I really like to go for shields. Especially w blink stalkers the value is immense.
When I play vs terran, I focus on armor. When I play vs zerg I focus on shields.
Terran EMP so want the armor strong. When fighting zerg archon do bonus vs bio. So want them as strong as possible to splash damage all that zerg bio.
Protoss vs protoss depends if I go robo or stargate. Robo gets armor and stargate gets shields.
You were my brother! You were supposed to end the protoss, not join them!
Serral, maybe.
LOVE the “simphunter.” Apparently, I just became a Reynor fan. Didn’t think that’d ever happen, but here we are 😂
Reynor is a chad jeez, watches your videos and wants you to cast him winning. So he send you a video of him beating the best player in the world, that he stream sniped, while he’s off racing. I love Reynor

You will need each baneling detonating on 3 or more archons at once in order to trade equally with archons without archons even fighting back.
So cool to see Reynor win that as Protoss (the race I'd never seen him play), although I have to say, Serral was looking a bit off for Serral.
Wait why is the workers killed counts not appearing at the left side of the screen anymore? Same goes for the upgrade icons on the building
Sick plays by that Reynor guy!
That was an amazing display of multitasking by Reynor!
POWER OVERWHELMING
This is the reason why I think in SC II a random player could actualkly have a shot. Playing in a very unique way.
It helps when that random player is also top 5 in the world :)
Random players have no chance - they all get destroyed horribly by the top 200 players. Playstyle had nothing to do with this win - Serral wanted to humiliate Reynor by beating him with a slow baneling anti-timing. Everything pretty much snowballed from there and Serral was not even trying to micro.
@@hivetech4903 No, Reynor is just that much better. Simple
@@vincemeyers2064 😂5/10. Not bad, but it needed more.
@@hivetech4903 Haha
That was hot. Want to see more of Reynor play protoss
This is all the proof we need, PROTOSS OP, go get em Blizz- oh wait.
Bruh, we're fucked. One of the balance team members is Harstem, literally one of the most Biased Protoss casters in this game. Hence why we got a balance patch that did literally nothing to change the meta.

Hey Lowko! You know Zergs are always changes/mutations race. Reynor is top zerg, and he evolves to Protos
Lowko! I’ve been watching literally every day for about 6 weeks since I found you. Thank you for the content, you’re the only SC2 caster I watch and I can’t imagine anyone else
Harstem and Pig are both very good at It.
Harstem is more precise but less fun (he's a pro player)
Pig is the adult one with alot of swear words
Reynor coming out of the wood works to get a winning game cast xD
This was great!
Reynor plays protoss vs Serral, that's a bold move, let's see if it pays off;
Why are you writing like the that lol
In a beautifuly executed strategy Reynor does indeed take the win.
@@Stealthydoughnut Cause I'm bored and easily entertained :P
Those storms were sick.
Hello lowko, I just joined your membership tier 2 and just wanted to know about where and how can i access the replay packs. thank you.
Nice! btw, I started playing SC2 after being your fan.
0:45 ooof
I am a protoss-main player. And Reynor is my favorite zerg player. Seeing him playing protoss and making it work, without void rays, from that balance patch, looks really good. Really nice game. Plus the end, with the Archon vs Banelings test.
The test of archon's may need to test when 2 archons as 2 hit at once may kill a group of banlings the economy gain may much more
whats the name of that game at the end to test units, I can not find a good one like that
LotV unit tester on custom game mode.
Btw, can someone tell me please what “+1 +1” upgrades means. I’m sure I could google it but…
Usually when talking about upgrades you mention attack first and armor second. So when someone talks about +1 +1 they usually mean +1 weapon and +1 armor upgrades.
IN this case, Reynor went for weapon and shield (which technically is 1-0-1) so i guess that is why Lowko clarified that :)

Man! Raynor plays like a Machine, I mean who splits stalkers like that LOl!
Imagine playing ranked and then going up against a serral Smurf. Is a good way to become big deceased
Epic Protoss and the epic end
That was fucking awesome
lol...Can we get a fucking balance patch already? Just because there aren't enough 10+ year old Protoss players dominating the scene like Terran/Zerg doesn't mean Protoss isn't extremely overpowered at every other level.
This is what happens when Kerrigan takes control of the Protoss
Serral definitely goofing around.
Reynor best Protoss in the world?
so we know right from the start that reynor is gonna win, because i doubt it he would send you a replay where he loose :D
Reynor is a treasure.
9 thousand more sub until 500k gl lowko :3
playing very greedy versus the defensive serral, classic
Since i was watching SC2 i never understood why people went to HULL upgrade and not shield. Like... shield grow back prividing more value
Serral, the greatest zerg player→
Renor beat Serral with protoss→
Renor, the greatest protoss player…?
back to the last decade, the greatest protoss player(s) was MC & Huk
star craft would still be my best tho I never played it online
Отличный видос!
Shouldn't Clem be Napoleon?=)
Shouldn't Reynor? Napoleon was Corsican
That seemed like Serral was playing with one hand, not even close to his normal game. Or Reynor have just stolen his account and making this game look like it is against Serral, but it was actually Reynor on two keyboards and monitors. 🤣
Yeah, Serral has a god mode lol
I really expected Serral to completely TRASH Reynor, but damn... I guess the map layout is more Protoss-sided. I would love to see them playing again on another, more "normal/standard" map with the same races.
Go watch King of Battles 3 grand final.
Tell me Protoss is overpowered without telling me that Protoss is overpowered.
simphunter looks like a really good player, he should try and compete in sc2 tournaments, probably his style would do better with the zerg race
So second 27, and quit watching….. don’t just upload any video my man, you are better than that 🤗💯
No need to spoil the result in the intro tho
noooo
Golf player vs starcraft player :D
Me every time seeing Serral in the title. Skip to the end to make sure he loses, then I'll watch the video.
wooo
who else laughed when they saw Reynor's name?
Its nice to see that protoss are so underpowered (they never win anything right?) so that an offrace zerg actually can go toe to toe against Serral.
Or MAYBE, its a mostly skill based game? And people should abandon all their whine? (Me included!)
Or maybe Protoss is just extremely overpowered and the reason they don't win the top tournaments is because they don't have any season vets that have been playing 10+ years straight like Zerg/Terran have?????
I think Reynor is going to Reyn Supreme for at least a while now, while Serral can take the backseat😎🤙
I doubt either of these will take the backseat.
Lowko. I hope I'm not annoying to you. Please play Immortal: Gates of Pyre.
If I'm of annoyance. I will stop.
Attempt #5
Protoss weak plz buff.
first lol
thats for telling us who wins from the get go?
