34:05 - Imagine that as a cinematic. A squad of marines raid a Zerg base when they get a report the Swarm is coming. One of them sees the zerglings coming and shouts to the others. A dropship quickly drops down from the sky and opens its entry ramp, the Marines use grapple guns to hoist up onto it. Only eight of them make it, the last one's malfunctions and he's left on the ground. He runs after the airship shouting, the Zerg chasing after him. And ahead, growing distant, his comrades aboard the dropship look back at him sadly as the ramp closes. The marine slowly stops and realizes he's been left behind. He feels the ground shake and looks over his shoulder, and sees an ultralisk coming at him, the Zerglings running about its feet. The marine grimaces, his visor closes, and he raises his rifle and opens fire, not letting up even as the Ultralisk reaches him and lists a massive foot over his head...
Would be really interesting how Clem and Serral do in Code S, but I doubt it will ever happen. And Koreans historically haven't performed as well in international tournaments as they do in Korea. But at least it's good to see that Starcraft is still alive.
I haven’t seen your SC2 vids in yearssss Lowko. But I’m so glad you haven’t changed a thing. I forgot how much fun I have watching these matches and hearing your commentary/feedback. I was on twitch for the first time in years and saw these SC2 matches. And I thought… “hmm I wonder if Lowko is still around?” Sure enough. That signature style is still there. Glad you’re still doing these!!!
Merry Christmas, Lowko, everyone! Thanks for this cast, get to use my new headphones I got for Christmas today. :D 7:33 Serral's so good he can kill 2 drones in a ZvT, while playing Zerg
30:13 Serral had to finish Clem, but he gave him time to collect huge amount of minerals with mules, that time gap of one free minute cost Serral a win
Been watching you for years @Lowko, this was honestly one of your most blind/Serral-biased casts I've seen in a LONGG time. I'd say you've been very good about it over the past 2 years. Breaking it down: - Outside of the early game, Clem was hands down stomping Serral through the entire match, Lowko: - "I favor Serral in this type of match", instead of seeing what's happening in the game based on merit of cost-efficiency, position, and tech it seemed like you were somewhat blindly picking the person who you wanted to win based on his "GOAT" status. I don't disagree that Serral is the GOAT, in this cast though you let that title outweight your analysis of the state of the game. - "Serral's using the banes to zone the Terran ground army" => No, Clem out played Serral and moved/split faster than Serral and Serral missed. He wasn't trying to zone him, he was trying to connect and he got outplayed. - "I don't like this at all" => You don't like this for your favorite player in the world. - "It's starting to look desprate for Serral" around @26:00. It's been looking desperate since the @19:00 minute mark after he's lost to Clem's fantastic chokes, and even dropped a base to his pushes. - "it's still a disaster for the Frenchman" => he lost like 3 ghosts and made perfect pickups while taking down more corrupters. The game was amazing, but this was less analytical than you normally are. Hope you stay focused on the merit of the game rather than worry about who's "supposed" to win in the future. Takes away from fantastic plays of other players when you cough it up to "Serral doing bad" instead of "Clem doing amazing". This game wasn't close, it was stomp by Clem and he deserved that level of appreciation in this game.
Amazing game! Oh my God, beautiful Christmas gift, thanks Lowko. I enjoy your chill and professional cast and more with the game of the year o maybe the decade. I love your videos ❤!
I see lots of folks talking about balance. The reality is that these are new strategies and better micro. When I first started watching I would get irritated with how easy zerg seemed to have it; however, given enough time, new strategies and better micro have stopped everything that I used to think was annoying. I think it’s just crazy that the current meta strategy is to starve the Zerg out.
Im hands down to Clem's intuition on the lurker drop , if zergling wasnt there , Clem would manage to kill some of it. I think Serral shouldve gone for broodlord even swarm host when Clem started turtling.
Hey Lowko Shoutout from the middle of Kansas in the US. Just wanted to wish you and this awesome community a merry christmas. Love your content- you got me back into watching SC2. Appreciate you sir!
Terrans seem allergic to ravens, which is very weird. They could go hellbat + medivac to counter zerglings and add in ravens with some cyclones to destroy the larger units. Not only could you easily transition to this comp after a hellion harass but it would also save more energy to be used for mules (instead of constantly scanning the creep). Now that's something I would love to see!
Should be good vs. Roaches, too, since Cyclones are basically Mechanical Hydralisks and Hydras wreck Roaches and Hellbat+Cyclone approximates Roach+Hydra.
It 's because Zerg would just click the Raven with 5 Corruptors and you cant hold on the Raven. Corruptors are ridiculously tanky. Ravens are too slow and micro intensive on top of ghosts and MMM , and mostly be used defensively against Zerg. That mean Zerg can just retreat when it use its ability. I figure Clem could just Scan his location whenever the Zerg twitchs at his directions and it ahould be good. Asingle fungal is not good if there is no army around to take advantage of it.
I remember watching a Serral vs Clem match back when Serral was in one of his eras where he was unbeatable. It was almost a forgone conclusion that Serral would win any match he played, but Clem just kept his head and dismantled Serral piece by piece.
Where is the video Game of the year of the game of the year?! :D There were so many game of the year. Love your Videos and your passion. I have never played SC2 but i always like RTs games ( i play SC1 often). Dont know how i found your channel, and now i'm hooked!
Hey @lowko, have you tried doing a series with each game being a video and then ordering them in a playlists? It might spoil the result, but might be a way to please all audiences. I do like long videos os SC2, but usually split viewership of a long one across different moments in the day and stop at the end of a game in general. Thanks for the content!!
This was a great match! But am still salty that they nerfed Zerg cause of the greatness of serral earlier this year. This game wouldn’t have been close.

Reading this comment took more time than watching that clip lmao. that was so anticlimactic
Kerrigan had felt that before.
Exactly, it's basically sc1 cinematic. Also zerglings won't run over your feet. They'll run over you. They're only tiny in game.
@@Diogenes2077 I meant they were running around the Ultralisk's feet
@@Diogenes2077it says ultralisk, not zergling
Not exaggerating at all in the title! Nice cast again, thanks for that christmas treat on these lazy days, Lowko!
Any time!
Would be really interesting how Clem and Serral do in Code S, but I doubt it will ever happen. And Koreans historically haven't performed as well in international tournaments as they do in Korea. But at least it's good to see that Starcraft is still alive.
@@LowkoTV
StarCraft 3 high budget looking fan movie teaser came out about a week ago on youtube from rando. Check it out.
Serral vs. Clem is freaking artwork. Love watching them.
Just gonna throw it out there that I love watching Lowko cast long SC2 pro matches and would happily watch a 2-hr Bo7.
same bro
Easily one of the best games of SC2 I have seen. Brilliant play and great casting!
This was game of the year contender
This is the third cast I’m seeing for this game and I’m not tired of it at all

This was an incredible Christmas present. Great cast as usual, Lowko. Happy holidays to everyone who celebrates anything this time of the year!
goddamn that was crazy patience and mind games from Clem
Mules op
mines op
clem is really really really good tho lol
Cats OP.
So glad I got to watch this live. What a game!
Merry Christmas, Lowko, everyone!
Thanks for this cast, get to use my new headphones I got for Christmas today. :D

"Imagine owning this IP and doing nothing with it" - the statement of the decade (though admittedly there's a ton of SC2 modes I've never played)

Same to you!
Clems mind games at the end won him the game. GG
love watching different casters take on this game.....this series or game 3 will go down in the lore of SC2....legendary
Man, what a game! Thanks for the cast Lowko, we appreciate it so much!
Hey Lowko
Shoutout from the middle of Kansas in the US. Just wanted to wish you and this awesome community a merry christmas. Love your content- you got me back into watching SC2. Appreciate you sir!
Another Christmas with Lowko... Gotta grab some eggnog!
Merry Christmas Lowko
Great game! Merry Christmas, Lowko!
Let's go Clem! Such amazing unit control it's wild.
Nothing better than a christmas cast for the legendary lowko! Thanks man!
Lowko is rocking! Great cast
I really like the interface upgrade of showing both players' vision on the minimap simultaneously so you can see how quickly and actively they play
🤩 Clem had some amazing moves, like anticipating the lurker drop
Is so weird to see Serral make mistakes. Clem is so good.
I honestly thought: "Really Lowko? Every month or so you have 'Game of the Year'". But this one really *is* the game of the year 🙂
Great game, they are both are amazing players and your cast was on point which made this game even more impressive, happy holidays
Seriously, game of the year. Merry Christmas Lowko!
Merry Christmas Lowko.
What a banger.
Great match & cast. Merry Christmas!
Game of the year !!! And on Christmas Day what a treat thanks Lowko. Hope everyone has had a merry Christmas
wooo merry christmas, week old lowko!
Thanks for the great cast! ^^
Thank you for providing us our daily SC 2 fix. Marry christmas, Lowko.
What a wonderful Christmas present from Lowko!
Thanks , Merry christmas lowko !
This deserves the title such a good game! Casting top notch too
Christmas lowko cast
No problem 😊
Merry Christmas Lowkow!
Merry Christmas Lowko, been great watching you all these years. Another great cast❤❤
Ajajajaj 😅 what a game, though I am big Serral fan boy but it's nice to see that he is actually mortal sometimes! Great cast, amazing game, gg
We enjoy your material Lowko. Keep it coming my friend.
I love Clem, my favorite Terran. I love Serral also. When they both play unforgettable games are played

imagine how much more energy they would have from hundreds of wasted scans. lmao
@@bensiok They'd be so rich the map would be infested with turrets and fortresses.

pretty sad terran detection is only scans then@@nguyendi92
surprised that there is no "game of the year" in the thumbnail
Merry Christmas errbody!
Merry Christmas lowko! Love the videos, pretty bad at the game but because of your videos I'm getting better :D
this game was wild! happy holidays lowko and everybody :)
I knew you were going to cast this ! I was there watching it live , my comments are there
Merry Christmas Lowko😁
you wished me a merry christmas on Feb 19 2024. Guess I’m behind on watching every second of Lowko
34:26 good thumbnail indeed 👍
You had to try about 10 times this year, but this really is the greatest game of the year. Merry chrysler!
Here i am. Ten months later. Watching one of the first games of the year of the year lol
Wow can't believe the comeback!
Yes another game of the year they always fun to watch
there needs to be a lowko playlist that just includes all of the "game of the year" every year
It exists ;)
I remember watching a Serral vs Clem match back when Serral was in one of his eras where he was unbeatable. It was almost a forgone conclusion that Serral would win any match he played, but Clem just kept his head and dismantled Serral piece by piece.
The thumbnail did not disappoint!
Another game of the year? Well this about to be a banger
Missed oppotunity to put game of the year clickbait title
Fine, I’ll change it 😂
He’s saving it for the News Eve
Best thumbnail ever!
What an amazing game from both players!
Merry Christmas 🎄
Haven't watched any pro SC2 in years. This was very great!
Those last 5 mins were really crazy
thanks for the Christmas gift!
lmao this vid was uploaded 1 min before midnight of december 26(11:59pm of december 25) here in my country so Merry Christmas indeed Lowko!
I have enjoyed every game of the year for the past 35 years!
Feliz navidad hermano, espero que la pases bien.
Great great game!!! Clem is a absolute legend!!
Fudge Yeah!!! what an epic game!
entaro adun executor! this is my game my college days 90's. now im 47 i still playeds it!
It's my third time watching this match. It is truly insane.
Yes please. More best of 7s. Oooooor sneaky PvP st the end of a shorter game
So exciting! Wow!
Where is the video Game of the year of the game of the year?! :D There were so many game of the year. Love your Videos and your passion. I have never played SC2 but i always like RTs games ( i play SC1 often). Dont know how i found your channel, and now i'm hooked!
MULEs are such BS lol. Great game from two amazing players.
Serral not upgrading flying unit armor to max likely cost him this. The Corrupters were getting smoked by the Vikings for a very long time.
As a French, was surprised of your smooth pronounciation of "Clément" haha
Hey @lowko, have you tried doing a series with each game being a video and then ordering them in a playlists? It might spoil the result, but might be a way to please all audiences.

Merry christmas to all my SC2 fans. Let's keep this game alive for many more years so I can watch more banging games casted by the GOATED caster!
Merry Christmas!!! 🥳🎄
My favorite is best of 7s. More lowko the better.
Drinking game:
Everytime Lowdo says "Okay!" take a drink.
If you don't want to die, I recommend something relatively mild.
I think even just drinking water would result in water poisoning :P
Wow what a game
Merry christmas y'all!
Maybe for 2024, the last episode of the year can be a recap/montage of the games of the year. 🤔
This was a great match! But am still salty that they nerfed Zerg cause of the greatness of serral earlier this year. This game wouldn’t have been close.
Bro should've gone for brood lords!
Great game
Great game! any tips for new esports casters?
like always good cast but i'm still disappointed how difficult is tp push into terran and how easy they can turtle or slowpush....
Clermont was like "well, you can try" all the way since 6 minute mark like Serral was his younger sis and not the No.1 SC II player lol
