3 matches that felt like pretty much the same replay xD
My favorite professional SC2 lore piece has been and always will be that the guy called innovation is not innovative.
How about Reynor is not Raynor or Terran
@@jkkim6928 who is Raynor? you might be confusing Rim Jaynor with Raynor
One thing maxpax seems to do better than most is leveraging the protoss shields. Other players are happy to run their units to red before saving them, but maxpax pulls them the instan their blue bar shatters. The second game really shows it off, the entire army was sharing shields and using their regen between waves and that is incredibly hard to break.
Maxpax micro reminds me of like colonial warfare. Like the musketeers shooting, then pulling behind the next line so they can reload for the next shot.
Well that was a stomp.
Came for SC2,
stayed for the maths. 😂
Game #2's micro battle was awesome. From 10:58 until the end of the match, both players were playing really well with that they had available.
Hey Lowko, I think you accidentally uploaded a MaxPax highlight reel, did you mean to upload a match?
🤣
Holy Cow!!! That's why we love MAXPAX!!! Someone make him play live events!!!!!
But in live events he won't be able to use his cat sitting on his lap managing his probes and buildings, which let him concentrate on micro.
at 13:00 matpax was warping in stalkers and picking them up with the warp prism at the same time.... idk if ive ever seen it do both functions at the same time usually just close together
MaxPax putting on a clinic over here
Me seeing its 21:45 seconds video - might as well watch this first
Lowko saying its a best of 5 series - What!?
En fait c'est pas un combat CS2 c'est le jeu " trouver les Différences " 😂😂😂
ahhhh I miss starcraft
Used to binge these videos daily years ago.
Welcome home.
Man those blink stalker micro is insane.
I actually went back to your early videos to show my friend how much your accent has changed over the years lol
xD
what makes pros look bad vs other pros is they have natural talent and skill vs just skill or talent. you see this in chess. you can become a grandmaster with lots of study, review and practice. but match vs one with an eidetic memory. it's 10x harder. maxpax seems to have a lot of raw talent.
That was a nice game... wait, it was bo5???
Always good to see MaxPax
Reminds me to watch the MaxPax shout out again
I think you're onto something with those warp prism Medivacs Lowko. I can see it now in a future balance patch; Medivac: Added New Ability Orbital Drop Beacon. Toggle-able ability, sieges the medivac and all barracks units drop pod around the beacon medivac when they spawn. If the beacon medivac is removed before the pods land the pods crash, exploding on impact with no survivors, no resource refund. Only one medivac can be in beacon mode at a time.
Yeah give Terran a warp gate might was well give marines blink while we’re at it
@@koced1 Blink widow mines (they instantly burrow after blinking)
"Stim is now finished but all the marines are dead so...."😂😂😂
Pretty sure Max Pax can kill a my maxed out army with five Stalkers. :D
100 supply of maxed out mutas, let alone more appropriate units, will destroy 5 stalkers even if they're controlled by MaxPax...
@@cyberkekosisNot only do you underestimate MaxPax' micro, you overestimate mine. I can lose 50 Stalkers to a single Voidray.
MaxPax showed why 'traditions get their values'
I dont think *ANYONE* has blink microed as well as maxpax
well, there is alphastar :D
@@christof4105 honestly i think maxpax is better at that too.
@@snowdrop9810maybe thats why he doesnt play any offline tournaments? 🤨
Opponent doesn't make any marauders make it easier though
MaxPax and HerO with this insane stalker micro are the reasons why the stalker can't get a buff.
Once MaxPax plays offline tournaments and wins a big one with stalkers they'll get a nerf at that point but until that happens the pleb protosses are safe..
MAX PAX!!!
I think MaxPax wins off of keeping the Terran in their own base for the first few minutes, not getting harassed, and then just plays super-aggressively and maintaining a really good economy. He sacrifices a zealot here and there just to buy half a minute more of not having a Hellion or Reaper in his mineral line, until he can get a critical mass of Stalkerz that can just outmaneuver the terran. I suspect Mauraders would do better against this than tanks tho
18:45 That siege tank is a traitor.
Stalker and prism juggle OP
Is there a map in the pro pool that has gold as starting base? That would shake up a lot of openings I think.
hear me out.. if there was only a terran unit from rax that did bonus vs armor and was cheap to make with idk... a slow effect
No idea why his opponent never makes a marauder, its not like he had no tech lab, he was literally researching stim pack and it never occurs to him that concussive shell+ marauder would be better
Should send it to harstem for Is It Imba or do I suck lol
me "finally a 20min game"
* see best of 5 *
wait i might not have seen properly....
Yes!! MaxPax! Thanks!
2 barracks opening into dedicated drops with medivacs or fast expansions after that? Have these openings fallen off?
"It's not clem" Got me shivers 😆
I think these guys practice together and MaxPax has his number.
I’m a french terran but MAN MaxPax is definitely my favourite player.
Just wild
My 🇩🇰 doing great work as allways!
MaxPax, so hot right now. MaxPax.

i got u now is from Korgoth of Barbaria anime
Protoss isn't weak. It could use some buffs, but it's not weak. The main reason it doesn't do well in tournaments is because toss players suck in recent years. When Serral rose to power, the only one that was a legitimate challenge to him was Stats. When Serral came to Korea for GSL vs the World in 2018 and 2019 (many people forget about this feat of Serral) Stats was supposed to stop Serral, not Maru. After Stats left for military, no one could step up. EU peak toss was Showtime. NA was Neeb. Korea was Zest, King of Throws.
Maxpax is currently Rank 2 btw. He's young and technically not that experienced because he doesn't play offline. Maxpax has a long way to reach his ceiling, and he's already Ranked 2.
Serral is going away to Finnish military service. Maxpax will become Rank 1 in aligulac. If Maxpax shows up in offline tournaments and adjusts to them (Clem for example took some time to adjust) he'll top events and be the undisputed successor of Serral. The perceived balance of races has a lot to do with the players. Check out the comments of Stats vs Serral 2018 finals video. No one was talking about imbalance even though Zerg was OP back then.
i think the problem with toss its you can do to much with low skills, for example i only was able to reach plat with zerg, but i had to play at least 150 apm, where toss players achieve the same with only 50 apm, they really live in a bubble thinking their race is weak bc they dont win enough tournaments and blame zerg for being op when the true op is Serral.
Maxpax may be the player that will show how powerfull toss can be and i hope for him being the reason more and more toss players start to get the juice out of the race.
spirit needs to get marauders. All other games (what lowko shows) terrans have some marauders that destroy stalkers.
Well that was easy money xD
Wow!
Why is MaxPax never playing offline tournaments?
When will you understand that MaxPax is a fu**ing BOT?!? That's creazy!
An absolute punishment!
maybe maxpax is a robot, hence no live tournaments
Max pax est peut être répétitif dans son style de jeux mais franchement pourquoi ne pas faire ce pour quoi il sais hisser au rang 1 mondial protoss ❤️❤️❤️
It's the open cup 217 and not 127 :P
Let's go!
I think this is ESL 217, not 127
omg i never realized that the Crystal on top a Nexus had his own pixely shadow O.O (just saw it right at the start of the video and no other time)
I can fisualize young lowko saying crazy shit like “forced to break his fault”
Tha's why i love stalkers
overpowerING
is what you and 99% of gamers means; overpowered means taken over by way of power.
The ultimate example of basic units looking OP was Life's zerglings. Good grief. Wish that kid would've played legitimately so we could see what he could've become.
When Genshin & HSR???
what makes the top pro players better?.. they are not human
Since he only play online have their been discussions about cheating or can that be controlled?
Just curious cause I have no idea 😅 only watch lowkos vids nowadays
11:48
maxpax made siege tanks look like a worthless unit in these matches
A best of 5 in less than 22 minutes? Whats happening here?
Bo5 with Spirit in 25min? I bet he is getting clapped... If it would go like spirit wants it, this Bo5 would take 2.5 hours
Spoiler Shield! Like this to make sure people aren’t spoiled by the top comment.
Its youtube , they need to implement spoiler filters based off content.
Good man
Dude Lowko already spoiled with the title lmao
This needs lore liles
god bless
1st game: Greed gamble gold base. (doesnt require skill), no reaper scout (bad play from terran), 5:10 first tank out (extremely trash timings considering at diamond people already have 2/3 tanks out at this time IN position) Granted he tried to go cyclones cuz he didnt scout and prepped for air, but this is just a stupid gamble especially in a finals?
Talking about maxpax not losing any stalkers... ofc he isnt losin any stalkers if the opponent doesnt have actually units out besides workers. (cuz he decided to go for aggro early game leaving his base without any defenses)
2nd game: Does scout with reaper, makes cyclones and tries a push that does nothing cuz it has no actuall meat to it. (allinning gives approx 2 times asmuch as that army composition with this timing) Again 5:00 not even having a single tank out or sieged. Unsieges at the worst time possible, wich basically auto kills the tank, while the second tank isnt even in position. Loses half his army because of these obvious mistakes. Then dies because maxpax micros vs much smaller army.
3d game: finally gets a reaper out, finally gets tanks intime, but does the dumbest thing you possibly can, loading up a medivac with units you need in your mainbase on that map to counteract the blinking in. (WICH HE SCOUTED!!!) Gets heavy supply blocked, doesnt even use supply drop vs a blink timing attack. destroying his own timings, and again doesnt make the tanks he needs. Eventually magically stabilizes after infinite mistakes. leaves his main base ramp wide open again by unsieging his tanks and having no units there, not even spotters. And loses the game.
Like wtf.
Spirit literally played this out like a diamond.
I mean i understand the stress of playing at the highest level, reaching the finals, gives mad anxiety and is infinitely harder to do then to ladder. So i can understand why he plays bad.
But this isnt a game you can cast and say maxpax is good when his opponent played like a diamond.
Honestly that’s why I think maxpax played like this. If this was against Clem game three, I’m sure maxpax wouldn’t have doubled down on stalkers for a third time in a row. Just felt like he knew spirit would get rolled by the same shit again.
BO5, 22 minutes video... let's go
Parece que ese jugador no ha visto jugar a maxpax
Siempre maxpax te llegará con blim al inicio
Spirit no tenía nada para defender 🤦🏻
The important thing is that Toss is trash, the weakest race, no matter what changes the protoss make, they always end up screwed. The corrupt people who make the patches are blind, poor Toss, they are screwed.
OK OK.. I GOT CLICKBAITED. fine. (Im mean obvs protoss isnt op 😂😂😂😂 behave) but alright i got clickbaited
😶🌫
Toss lose. But nice of the unknown to let toss win. Glad to have such supportive community in sc2
..overpowered? Naw...against spirit sure. Is there stats on clem vs maxpax? ..id wager clem is ahead
Protoss has no choice but to play blink stalkers every matches cause it's only power spike protoss has.
Try a gas block and pylon block at terrans natural. It slows them down. It's like blocking zergs natural expo.
If you pylon block terrans natural, sometimes they build a marine to kill it and you don't have to worry about reapers. It messes their timing up significantly
No way he is a human… seriously… I just don’t believe it.
Boring games tbh. Not even 1 close match
