"I am the Swarm. Armies will be shattered. Worlds will burn." Swarm, indeed! The beauty in this well-laid trap was how subtle it was. Nothing would appear amiss to the Terran play until very late in the game. And, by then, the trap has already long be sprung, and it would far too late to dig out of that hole. It just really takes the macro game to a whole new level - the patience and intelligence to make such long-range economic forecasts and use that as an effective weapon! Really amazing strategic thinking! Also, new Zerg unit: Infested Investment Banker.
versus a nearly idle terran. How about this: After realising the containment put in another strategy. You run very low on minerals with lets say 1k left spread out on 2 bases sacrifice all your workers. Kill them yoursefl quietly, max out and all in. I would have tried building cattlebruisers and use them to backdoor. but in hindsight everything is easier.
The problem is Terrans can produce just as fast as Zerg and overrun you with their endless amount of harrassment and area denials. Like Mass Ghosts, Banshees, Hellions and defending with Liberators and Siege tanks how are you supposed to win as Zerg?? D:
I really liked this video. Getting the game showcased instead of live commenting and listening to your analysis instead of your live reaction made this video so much more interesting for me. In most pro games i think: "Yeah, they can play", but seeing the thought on which the strategy was based really made this video for me.
Agreed! Listening to this analysis of Darks tactic and style was really cool! I'd love to see an attempt at analyzing Bombers style next (notably how nuking your own army wins the game)
wow, yesterday I played identical game... Except it was like bronze league game style and i contained terran on two bases. He maxed on battlecruisers and I didnt know how to counter but denied expansions. I won after like 30m when i made three vipers ( for the first time ever :D ) Slowly but surely i am getting there :D
Yeah but he had to Zerg the map first which is the harder part.. Felt cool though, like a brutal challenge of PvE TvZ where Terran couldn't do anything to get outside of a contain :P
I like it from their perspective with all the apm. Puts things in perspective on how hard all of this is to pull off and how good these guys really are. Great casting anyway. Best caster ive ever heard
Fact:umoja was the first of the planets to be colonized by humans,there society was known for being prosperous with their own government and cutting edge technology(example their marines),they never supported the confederacy nor the dominion,though they did have personal ties with arcturus(it was actually here where valerian spent his first 7 as a child)after the confederacy brought tyranny some planets sided with the government,essentially making the"umojan protectorate".
when will we get a umoja related mission pack or skins or COOP commander tho. seems like wasted assets. Seems like they were suppose to play a larger part in heart of the swarm, but the zerus missions seems to have took too much time to make. Umojan marines skins would be nice.
Amazing type of video, loved every second. Also, your face on the cast surprised me for good, i liked that change. Hope you can bring more of these types of videos if something interesting happens in the Nation Wars or other competition. Cheers!
that is beautifull execution from Dark jesus, Zerg has the potential to be the most amazing race to watch take over the map, the literal swarm in the right hands. Thanks to lowko i gave them a sincere choice like a year ago, your videos with them were allways awsome,a dn now they are my favorite race to play on multiplayer, even thouh i'd allways love the protos units.
I really like how you take into consideration not to spoil. It must be kinda difficult when u wanna point sth out but at the same time don´t wanna give too much info. Love your vids man, keep it up! And yeah, more vids like this!
Ah! This style is easy peasy ... I just need 4-5 extra guys on my side... 1 for Queen injects of 4-5 bases and unit production 2 for creep inspector who can make sure to spread the creep and build new bases 3 for controlling spell casters, brood lords 4 I can manage with ling bane and hydra (HOPE!) 5 oh and yes one over all inspector who can analyze what oppn is trying to do...!! See I told you I can play this .... ❤ Lowko did you upload your journey video yet? You will not be paid for this month otherwise boy!! ;)❤
thats the swarm play, i love it. it really is how zerg should be played with. it really defines the all of what we see, when the zerg threatening the galaxy and then when kerrigan takes over.
This is such a swarm style I really like the game analysis videos it helps a lot when strategies get broken down so I can attempt them or try to counter them :D
I am a mere Console scrub, but my god this game looks great, been watching for several months and I’m still just as entertained as I was when I first started watching, thanks Lowko
I would definitely enjoy some more elaboration about the individual playstyles of those progamers and their strategies. So yeah, please go ahead and do one of Maru next. I would appreciate it!
Lowko, I'm very interested in seeing a breakdown and analysis on the best plays in the last tournament. Like take your top 5 and do 5 videos on those. It;s fresh in your mind and you'll more insights looking back on the games.
Unsure of the addition of the facecam... I know why people like it, and I do too normally, but for watching high level Starcraft matches it's a bit distracting. I only say that because, well, you're such an amazing caster, dude! You're super emotive and it's amazing! Of course that means a lot of movement on the side of the screen that's always there when I want to pay attention to something else. =p Lol. I'd LOVE to see the facecam in lower league casts though, or when a bunch of dumb cheese is taking place. That'd just add to the insanity!
Even if i don't play terra i want to see maru's view... We generally see the two player at once and it can get confusing but having only on player to focus on rrally helps understand the decision making Tl;dr make more ;) you're awsome
This has been one of my favourite of your cast videos. Not sure if it was because there was much more overview tactical analysis or if its because I'd just recently been wondering if any games ever went to the stage where the minerals were all exhausted and then this came along. Great video though. Do you have links to where the tournament videos are (assuming they are available to view somewhere)?
the caster very carefully avoids saying in the video is that "the requirement" of Dark's strategy is by default a great imbalance, and they still chose to not nerf hunter seeker.
"I am the Swarm. Armies will be shattered. Worlds will burn."
Swarm, indeed!
The beauty in this well-laid trap was how subtle it was. Nothing would appear amiss to the Terran play until very late in the game. And, by then, the trap has already long be sprung, and it would far too late to dig out of that hole. It just really takes the macro game to a whole new level - the patience and intelligence to make such long-range economic forecasts and use that as an effective weapon! Really amazing strategic thinking!
Also, new Zerg unit: Infested Investment Banker.
So what Dark does to win against the Terran new style is go tru the Kerrigan book of "We are limitless, and your numbers are dwindling by the minute"
This can only end one way.
Playing zerg how they are suppose to be played, overrun the entire map :p
Fear the Swarm!

You got five bases? Good for you: I assimilated whole planet while you did it.
Extra /like for taking control of the camera to stop us having seizures :)
Dark is litteraly an overmind.
But can he beat InoVatioN though? (idk how to spell his name)
i honestly think it could go either way, both are extremely good
not AN, THE!
Well , There are first overmind (original) and second overmind (The cerebrated version) so...
I really liked this video. Getting the game showcased instead of live commenting and listening to your analysis instead of your live reaction made this video so much more interesting for me.

Dark vs maru is this, Dark vs Innovation = WW1 trench grinding
Now THAT is the swarm. I was more of a (casual) Zerg player in brood war, and this gives me nostalgia for that.

He maxed on battlecruisers and I didnt know how to counter but denied expansions. I won after like 30m when i made three vipers ( for the first time ever :D ) Slowly but surely i am getting there :D
great game thanks for casting and congrats on being invited to commentate at the tournament. please share more games from this series.
This was a fine lore-friendly zerg-tactic :D
And just please make a Maru-video aswell Lowko :)
mmm the good old "send wave after wave of zerg" strategy.. never fail
Yeah but he had to Zerg the map first which is the harder part.. Felt cool though, like a brutal challenge of PvE TvZ where Terran couldn't do anything to get outside of a contain :P
I saw your casting. The match was great!
Definition of a war of attrition.
Brilliant video. More of these, please!
I like it from their perspective with all the apm. Puts things in perspective on how hard all of this is to pull off and how good these guys really are. Great casting anyway. Best caster ive ever heard
You are doing an amazing job Lowko! On behalf of most, if not all of your viewers - THANK YOU!!! :)
More of these game analysis. They are awesome :D
Any video content that gets you super excited is awesome, be it game analysis, build orders or cat videos, is worth it. Keep it up
Fact:umoja was the first of the planets to be colonized by humans,there society was known for being prosperous with their own government and cutting edge technology(example their marines),they never supported the confederacy nor the dominion,though they did have personal ties with arcturus(it was actually here where valerian spent his first 7 as a child)after the confederacy brought tyranny some planets sided with the government,essentially making the"umojan protectorate".
Darth Vader Don't forget that Valerian's mother was an Umojan.
when will we get a umoja related mission pack or skins or COOP commander tho.
seems like wasted assets. Seems like they were suppose to play a larger part in heart of the swarm, but the zerus missions seems to have took too much time to make. Umojan marines skins would be nice.
Lowko is thinking outside the box!
Amazing type of video, loved every second. Also, your face on the cast surprised me for good, i liked that change. Hope you can bring more of these types of videos if something interesting happens in the Nation Wars or other competition. Cheers!
More zerg analysis, very much please :D
I like that kind of analyze replays!
I’d love to see more vids like this
Yes! I would love to see you do a video from Maru's perspective of this game :D Thanks Lowko for all you do! Keep up the good work!
that is beautifull execution from Dark jesus, Zerg has the potential to be the most amazing race to watch take over the map, the literal swarm in the right hands. Thanks to lowko i gave them a sincere choice like a year ago, your videos with them were allways awsome,a dn now they are my favorite race to play on multiplayer, even thouh i'd allways love the protos units.
Lowko! This was awesome. We are all interested. Yes and please!!
Make a video showing Maru's playstyle
I liked this style, great idea!
I really like how you take into consideration not to spoil. It must be kinda difficult when u wanna point sth out but at the same time don´t wanna give too much info. Love your vids man, keep it up! And yeah, more vids like this!
2:33 - "Without spoiling the tournament result for you out too much he played extremely extremely well "
11:30 - Spoilers
Classic Lowko
i am interested to see more of the game analysis videos!!! loved this so effin’ much with dark’s playstyle. superb
Ah! This style is easy peasy ...
I just need 4-5 extra guys on my side...
1 for Queen injects of 4-5 bases and unit production
2 for creep inspector who can make sure to spread the creep and build new bases
3 for controlling spell casters, brood lords
4 I can manage with ling bane and hydra (HOPE!)
5 oh and yes one over all inspector who can analyze what oppn is trying to do...!!
See I told you I can play this .... ❤
Lowko did you upload your journey video yet?
You will not be paid for this month otherwise boy!! ;)❤
thats the swarm play, i love it. it really is how zerg should be played with.
it really defines the all of what we see, when the zerg threatening the galaxy and then when kerrigan takes over.
This was so amazing to watch. Watching a Terran slowly starve while they play their little turtle style. Love it!!!!
I was waiting hours to see you post a vid. And to see you^^
This is such a swarm style I really like the game analysis videos it helps a lot when strategies get broken down so I can attempt them or try to counter them :D
ty, as always lokow & these vids rock
This is beautiful!!!
Yes please! More analysis, more detail, more nerding!
Amazing in depth analysis very interesting video we want more like this lowko
I also very like embedded camera of the 2 players. We are more in their mind
Let’s see more of this. I’m diggin it
please do a maru video as well
Hey Lowko, really liked this style of video!
seen live. what an insane game
I liked it, really showcased the strategy a lot better. thanks for thinking about preventing head aches!
Phenomenal! Thanks for the analysis! I'd definitely love to see more of this.
I'd like to see more of these kind of matches explained in detail.
please show Maru, your commentary makes this so good.
This was an incredible game. Definetly interested in more!
I would like to see more videos like this its a lot easier to learn from them this way to me.
Awesome video. I would like to see Maru get a similar treatment
WELCOME BACK SAFELY. GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
Yessss please make a highlight video of Maru! Good video as always 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes! Please cast the Terran strat!
More of this sort of content!! ^^
I would love to see more of this, I hope you consider it, Cant wait😊
Finally lokwo gets credit for being such a great commentator
I am a mere Console scrub, but my god this game looks great, been watching for several months and I’m still just as entertained as I was when I first started watching, thanks Lowko
Man, this was an intense match!
Great vid Lowko - would like to see a similar video for Maru.
So the Zerg finally for once is more of a Zerg than Terran can be.
One of the first times lowko has seen the game beforehand iirc.
Yup, show the Maru play style too please.
Awesome vid Lowko :) And yeah, I would rly like to see Marus point of view
I would definitely enjoy some more elaboration about the individual playstyles of those progamers and their strategies. So yeah, please go ahead and do one of Maru next. I would appreciate it!
That's one PHENOMONAL video title.
Gefällt mir :D
Niwo mir auch!
Niwo is
Danke!
@@LowkoTV Bist du ein Deutscher?
go for it lowko
Awesome game and awesome analysis! Would like to see more videos like that )
It the first time I see Lowko reveal his face when casting xD
I'd like to see you cast the bo7 and this game was awesome btw!
Lowko, I'm very interested in seeing a breakdown and analysis on the best plays in the last tournament. Like take your top 5 and do 5 videos on those. It;s fresh in your mind and you'll more insights looking back on the games.
Interested in more videos like this. I learn a huge amount of stuff even doe I will never be able to pull this type of stuff out successfully.
Ik wist eerst niet dat je Nederlands was Lowko, ik herken dat accent nu wel, leuke video trouwens.
I'd love to see more!
"My forces are numberless, and yours are dwindling by the minute. This is only going to end one way." -Dark
hey lowko i saw your stream the other day it was awsome ^^ keep it up
Holy! That's beautiful, brought a tear to my eye
Would love to see Maru's style, Lowko!
i was really glad to hear you casting at ESL, ..as well. 😂
"this is the nerdiest kind of videos I can upload " lol lowko
keep up the good content!!!!
Unsure of the addition of the facecam... I know why people like it, and I do too normally, but for watching high level Starcraft matches it's a bit distracting. I only say that because, well, you're such an amazing caster, dude! You're super emotive and it's amazing! Of course that means a lot of movement on the side of the screen that's always there when I want to pay attention to something else. =p Lol.
I'd LOVE to see the facecam in lower league casts though, or when a bunch of dumb cheese is taking place. That'd just add to the insanity!
If I can be completely honest I prefer the cast without the face cam, but nonetheless I enjoy your content, so ty!
holy shit that was INSANE! Pls do a maru video too
definitely want to see Maru's game
I like nerding out on games.
Great video!
Even if i don't play terra i want to see maru's view... We generally see the two player at once and it can get confusing but having only on player to focus on rrally helps understand the decision making
Tl;dr make more ;) you're awsome
This has been one of my favourite of your cast videos. Not sure if it was because there was much more overview tactical analysis or if its because I'd just recently been wondering if any games ever went to the stage where the minerals were all exhausted and then this came along. Great video though.
Do you have links to where the tournament videos are (assuming they are available to view somewhere)?
How the hell does Dark always manage to do this? He's awesome
Lowko's back boys, btw Lowko, do you record the videos like a day early or on the fly?
Ofc we want some maru play
I think one reason for Dark to not engaging Maru till the 6th base is that he don't want to fight off-creep.
this is a new kind of video, but i like it pretty pretty much :D more of it pls :D
Lowko! Amazing! do one of Serral's playstyle!
I'd rather have the cast be like it usually is tbh. Where you just have the replay going, no pausing or speed-ups.
the caster very carefully avoids saying in the video is that "the requirement" of Dark's strategy is by default a great imbalance, and they still chose to not nerf hunter seeker.
