"Could be swarm host, could be hive, could be infestors... but I'd be very surprised"
Nice poem there Lowko. 💫
23:16
Rap God Lowko confirmed
Too many syllables for haiku or nah
it could be swarm host, I forgot I built a hive, I lost to Terran
@@shadowling77777 Haiku isn’t the only form of poetry weeb!!!
I came to the comment section to make this comment, lol
Makes me happy seeing a fellow Erik doing well.
As an Eric I share a simillar sentiment
With Dark having to leave soon for his military service, I am so happy that a guy like Erik is making his way on the scene.
The sc2 scene needs wildcard players.
I was today's year old when I found out that Lowko's name was Simon.
As a big fan of Dark, I can't wait to see more Erik gameplay.
This is exciting, been a fat minute since a new pro entered the scene... The rise of Erik
Amazing cast as always, Thank you Lowko
PIG mentioned a lot of pros are rethinking their starts now because of eriks build
Damn
Fact he was able to beat dark who is the king of these types of strategies is insane. If erik didn’t make a massive mistake of not spending his cash then probally would of won this series I mean
Two kings of off meta and struggled against him. Like if anyone is going to beat him it will be them right? Unless your a god like serral
@Isaac Steele The glorious part is that it's not Pool first, it's Hatch first. It's Hatch/Pool before making an overlord so that the Pool is done in time that 4 lings can sneak around the Reaper. If Terran only scouts for the natural & goes back home they'll get a surprise, they're going to need to get the SCV in the main & check out the Pool timing to see it's an early Pool despite being Hatch first.
@Isaac Steele I tested this build vs a 16 Hatch 18 Gas 17 Pool & raced myself to transition into a 2 Base Lair opener where I went into +1 & Roach Speed & with the Erik build I was only 1 drone down at the same time stamps throughout & hit with the same number of Roaches & +1 done like 6 seconds later. So if Terran responds correctly & is 1 SCV down the game is even as Zerg is also only 1 drone behind, however if Terran has basically any other response they're behind (kind of, losing low ground SCV, may also make it even if that's all they lose). Sounds pretty much like there are no drawbacks in that sense.
100% agreed on unexplored territory after 13 years. Ex. The way MaxPax has been using stasis has forced me to reassess the whole "Toss has no map control" or "Protoss player can't risk being caught out on the map right now" mindset.
Lmao who ever thought protoss has no map control early on? At least since lotv
@@zachariastsampasidis8880 the issue is protos has very few unite so anytime you split up your army then unless your only units are zealots and stalkers you lose so much firepower and protos mostly relies upon aoe so surrounds hurt a ton
@@zachariastsampasidis8880 Not early on, moreso once the zerg/terran starts to push them back, it's way easier to contain and control the way MP has been playing the past month or two.
Stasis on the arbiter from brood war be like
you could say when it comes to cool strategies, Erik got Kraken...I'll show myself out
Did anyone else hear that little "Yeah!" at 6:24?
I did
yeah, I thought it sounded like Mario from Mario Bros
I know you can't share the replays, but it would be so nice if you could share another video and go a bit deeper on Eriks build. I'd like to replicate it and use it aswell, but it's hard to get the grasp of it, by watching the casts.
Visually hearing Lowko scratch his head in disbelieve is absolutely worth it xD
Really fun seeing some new strategies coming up by a emerging pro, if he hones in his micro a bit he might shake up the meta a bit!
I love how excited you were analizyng zerg gameplay :)
6:23
...is that....Mario?!
YA!
Lmao is funny hoe lowko tries to understand eriks decitions.. i think with better mechanics he should be rrally dangerous
That was the best Reaper grenade ever
Eriks innovative build orders in the hands of a stronger player (no offense) should be something to watch out for
This is nice. Seeing new players pulling out new things that kinda work is refreshing.
erik is a old player. He playes a lot o time.
Would love to see more Erik games
After comment at 18:00, consider: a Starcraft game mode where you articulate your strategy to an AI, which handles all (or maybe most?) the mechanical requirements.
I'm loving the chaos Erik brings to the games! He seems to have some practice needed to catch up with the top-of-the-line pros APM and macro, but the strategies are awesome to watch!
As a kid I couldn't understand how ppl could listen to sports on radio..
and now I realized that I do practically the same thing listening to Lowko casting or even ppl playing themselves...
After these matches i watched that Erik vs Dark match up and damn 😂 its like Dark junior, play weird builds and all. We want more of Erik
simon, appreciate you rewinding to see what the exact build order was
Nice game love to see more erik games
A zerg that plays his own game like gumiho plays his own game. It makes perfect sense lowko.
Great Games!
Oh boy, Brazil again. Let's go!
Hope ee can see Erik vs Kelazhur again one day. Full brazilian spice!
great game!
That swarm hosts attack was a wtf moment.
Brasil agaaaainnnn keep it up Erik & Lowko!!!!
I love Erik style reminds me of MaxPax in his cheese era.
Is this the 15 15 opener?
I demand more of ERIK ;)
Hi Lowko, would you consider casting a game from one player's POV (not their camera tho)? I think that might be quite interesting...
Swarmhost should be more supply friendly
Nah....swarm host is already powerful enough
@@CatzyCatzy Haha. Yes, they are so powerful they win every game they are in, they really need a nerf!
@@ledrash6079 irrelevant comment. Swarmhosts and tempests are reverse siege tanks in a way: all have long damage range but the two have low total dps but are far less committed in their attacks
Or produce more units, or faster
Swarm host need more love
I think the Swarm Hosts were just a misplay, a hotkey error. He only made a couple of them and pretty much threw them away.
The one time I'm rooting for Zerg to win
YOOO BRAZIL MENTIONED (I am brazilian) :)
Let's GO ERIK!
Guys look ...whose...that....🎉
Honestly why is the double extractor trick into fast hatch and pool not considered standard? Sure you are down some minerals and larva production time initially but your injects are permanently ahead, your lings can dodge early zealot/reapers by good map movement without needing speed or gas in general
Edit
I guess because if you make an overlord, you probably get better eco, and the things come out at the same time anyway. Haven't tried though, but the pros usually try stuff like this out a lot.
It isn't standard.
@@hivetech4903 meant isn't will edit it for clarity's sake
Nice
Me, as a new player, watching this and having no other word in my head, beside "Cheeese"
Get em Eric
I spine wall the ramp and nydus roach into their base.
YOUR NAME IS SIMON?!!?!
I feel a bit dumb not ever thinking that Lowko is not your "real" name d:v
yoo nice dummy hat
Wc3 dota was so good
I was about to drop but heard BRAZIL!? HUEHUE
Let`s cheer for the Brazilians!
Erik= Extractor tRIcK guy.
i'm just so happy that there's another brazillian competing in a high level sc2, and even more that it's a zerg player.
hey simon
He cancelled gas he's mineral hacking
ravagers is such a dumb unit design for Zerg i hate to say...Zerg with a ground bombard unit just doesn't make sense. Every race had their own play styles, this unit really merkies the water. They also already have the lurker for siege, and Vipers has abduct and blinding cloud. Terran's more defensive playstyles becomes pretty useless with Zerg having so many options.
I gave the W to Erik this time...sori gumi but theres some underdog using unorthodox strat and he's fighting top dogs on even ground... who wouldnt love this kind of story
YOU ARE GOING TO BRAZIIL!!
My mom addressed me by my online handle once (not this one, an earlier one). I addressed her by her first name in response. The message was received immediately.
Hahahaha that's amazing
epic game
Keeping your money low? So if I don't mine I will win?
gumi god 😎
If I could make my own StarCraft game I'll remove Swarm Hosts because free units are too cost effective to exist.
...swarm hosts arent good lol
man they really did nerf swarm hosts into the ground. they are such trash units.
Those builds looked quite uThermal-worthy
Go Brasil
🇧🇷❤
This was sad to watch. Worse than an AI
So sick of all these UA-cam ads
Spoiler alert: game 1. Erik playes Erik's trick strategy and won.
Game 2: Erik played "standart", not Erik's strategy trick and lost.
Game 3: Erik played... watch the video
zerg op
wth terran wins on this one
After being a huge fan of your content over the years I find myself a little disappointed in you Simon, you are not PLAYING BAR "Beyond All Reason", I'm not a fan of winters starcraft content and will not watch it, coming here, you are the best and always will be in my eyes for SC2, but his BAR is great so PLEASE PLEASE do content on that, and play with or against winter and the others. It is surprisingly a very fun game "A TA and SC 'Supreme Commander' fan", once I build a new PC to run the blooming thing I can play it.
I like winter as well, but I watch like 4 or 5 guys in the sc community.
Jesus loves you all so much. Have faith and repent. The Mark of the Beast (the RFID chip) is here. Don't take it. It seals your allegiance to satan. You need to have a strong relationship with Truth (Jesus) because very hard times are coming. Evil will increase a lot, exponentially.
What is jesus MMR? Thats all what matters
