Finished watching it and gotta tell that was the best game i have experienced in ny life! Awesome casting lowko keep up the good work tysm for this cast lowko!
Holy crap what a crazy game, reminds me of a game I watched where there was a crazy base race and seemingly the only unit left on the map was a Zealot, all he had to do was kill the enemy structures. There was a spawning pool and two evolution chambers, he killed one building, and the broodlings that spawned got the zealot to 1/4 HP. The protoss player knew that when he killed the next building, the broodlings would kill the Zealot and the zerg would still have one building left, ending in a draw. So the protoss started attacking both buildings alternating, so that he could kill one building, and then the other building right after, before the broodlings could kill him. He did so, but the zerg player had one drone left and right before he killed the evolution chambers, he started building an assimilator somewhere on the map, so the game had to end in a draw.

Lowko man, thank your for that Intro. I missed it so much! Sidenote: i actually kept watching your video because of that energetic intro during a time that was quite hard for me to motivate. I never played SC2 but find myself sometimes watching replays. Lately especially yours. So keep up the great work buddy :).
@@Tonatsi Thank you for your suggestion. I actually started playing the campaign after watching the matches again :D. And it is indeed a good story, really cool game. I'm glad that at least a the main game and a part of the campaign is free to play now. Nevertheless competitive 1v1 in a RTS is always a whole different experience.
@@slavicman-bd7jn The way it grabs and pulls capital ships like they are ping-pong balls doesnt seem balanced at all. I wouldnt change much, but tweak its Abduct so that in order to pull massive ships like Carrier, Mothership or Battlecruiser, it would need to get closer. It would still have its pull, but in order to just yoink mothership, zerg players would have to use tactics, either by using multiple vipers in a chain on having to pull their army closer.
I call the Tempest ability, 'Orange Ammo", lol...and Lowko...'Orange Ammo' hits both ground units and structures, not just structures, XD. That ending was insane!!
Your commentary is literally the best. F Starcraft was a popular game, then you would definitely be creator of the year. I hope you always make SC2 content. I’m literally a bot, but I love watching your videos.
37:11 I almost feel like leaving was worse because the tempests still can get their shots off and now you've abandoned them, whereas staying means you still take the shots, but maybe can save one from the corruptor cloud or at least get some kills of your own especially given the resource situation would have been favourable.
As you said many times, this match is a great example of unexplored territory and that's what I found most fun about. Unorthodox methods and tatics made for fun time
At that time Zerg might've had bank to counter zealots. I think that's why he hid them later, to run Zerg dry on other units over time and check if the switch will happen again. Since protoss couldn't take out air army and couldn't reliably have detection with last pushes Zerg missed last chances of adding lurkers.... :/
@@goatfish480 However as said Lowko, it's kind of balance late game between zerg and protoss right now (after many buff for protoss), if you add a buff for the zerg late game, then the toss are back to not being able to win anything past a certain point.
Just before Creator remaxed on stalkers i thought "hmm what does Dark actually have to defend vs. stalker zealots?" I think Creator waited so long because he didnt knew how Darks bank looked like.
It is awsome to to see how someone who saw thousands of variations, still can get hyped after al these years without faking it! (And yes, I also was dibbydabbing my feet for the last 10min)
Am I the only one who got chills when the zealots charged the mighty QUEEN horde ???? And them bad boys just sliced right through them !!! INCREDIBLE !!!!
I think if he burrow micro'd the weak queens once he was out of energy for transfuse he would have won. That was the turning point in the game. He only saved like 5 queens or something with burrow long after the battle.
12:48 How would it have anything to do with how they are queen injecting? Swarmhost is on A, next to both S and Z so it's just an easy miss-click to make.
I was like, you know protoss has shitload of minerals so zealots will come. Turtle up in a corner blocking a patch with evo chambers with queens behind them. + Transfuse to keep them allive. Use corruptor to destroy the buildings slowly.
rewatching this 1 again.. that last match was just insanity.. can only imagine what woulda happened if Dark had either 1 or 2 more lurkers.. or 1 or 2 more broods
Wow I thought this game was over so many times and I thought it was because of creator punting it with fighting with his split up army, but no, there was much more left. Definitely a great game!
I love the craziness of the late Late LATE game tactics. Hiding, obscuring, changling blocking and just outright swamping his last building was sensational. Can't kill him if you can't click on him, or see him, or even A move. Way to fight right down to the very last second.
Zerg building that costs 30 minerals, it's invisible mine in the ground which on impact spawns broodlings, as every Zerg building after destruction... that could make that function a bit useful even in "not clutch cheesy early" games...
I just like to point out the insane power levels Zerg still possesses, where they can be equal in Supply maxed out and the protoss can have a 10,000 mineral lead on the Zerg and it can come this close...
This was such an entertaining game and didn't want to start with balance whine but...yeah, Creator had control on 3/4 of the map and Dark almost came back with spore crawlers and queens? I know I suck in SC2 but I kinda feel like zergs has many small abilities that pile up and snowball (like being able to move static defense and repair it with only energy or getting "free" energy on vipers)
@@carepot6671 in the interest of balance Zerg should be very fragile minions which are efficient and can be replaced rapidly, you can't have a stout Army which take efficient trades and can Remax rapidly, there is no balance in that
I think it's just a matchup thing, minerals mean very little for a protoss player fighting a flying army, I do think that queens are very extremely cost efficient, specially for a minerals only unit, transfussion's nuts, and as we saw in that serral vs protoss game that Lowko casted, queens make for a stupid efficienct end-game mineral dump
I'm wondering about something. How effective do you think Dual nydus worm would be for base defense on wide maps? The main draw back for nydus worms is the load unload time required Need to get back to base? Take the subway A small hit squad is attacking your 4'th? Take the subway
What a game!! definitely one of the best games of seen recently. ggwp! glad creator took that one, by the skin of his... zealot blades? Dark was in hard Call of Duty camp mode in that ending haha!
At 25mins you were wondering why he used Prismatic Alignment, and I think I know why: If the Hydras chose to engage and not run back like they were, there was a chance he could have sniped some Overseers in the process. However, by turning on the alignment he basically guaranteed that the Zerg wouldnt stick around with his Overseers, and since Momma wasn't far that meant Hydras had to run as well.
Idea for why activate Prismatic something on Void Rays vs Hydralisks: to make them slower, so when Hydras retreat Voids Rays are too slow to catch up and end up in ambush, meaning they all would die.

thumbnail looks like something straight out of the campaign
The fight for that one base shows how amazing Starcraft can be. The game became a resource war at that point and I loved it
I just want to point out that 1 probe survived. Could it be the legendary Probius?
It was the probe from the legacy of the void cinematic trailer.
You can tell because the game was won by a hoard of zealots with charge.
@@flappy7373 Yeah it probably is
Who would win, a giant flying Protoss city or one grabby boi

Thanks for the incredible casts and back to catching up. ^^
Glad you mentioned this on Twitch today!! I've been hyped since then!
Incredible game
Incredible casting, your commentary actually made me laugh out loud
The best game of this year
"So they buffed up those protoss units" ... instantly 3 carriers get yoinked and killed
The yoink and neural parasite make no sense and shouldn't be in the game lol.
@@chamber20projects viper is a really cool unit tho and i think its balanced

Spoilers
I thought Creator was gonna throw his army away with that last fight, I didn't realize the last spore was also hiding there xD
Had he had one disruptor or a bunch of templars it would be a different story ;)
This game was incredible. Thank you Lowko for the great job casting. Hope we'll see more like this!
Amazing game, amazing cast
Long but awesome. Love the Mineout makes your decisions so much more intense and impactful.
I call the Tempest ability, 'Orange Ammo", lol...and Lowko...'Orange Ammo' hits both ground units and structures, not just structures, XD.
That ending was insane!!
It doesn't get any additional damage against units.
@@NuminorChanel then why does it activate/turn orange when the Tempests auto-attack a ground unit--just for visual effect?
@@Spartsou Just for visual effect. The upgrade changes the anti-ground attack of tempests to have +40 damage vs structures and become orange.

Started following today but met the channel three days ago! just started in starcraft weeks ago and seeing these videos is such a good time :3
I've said it before, but I am so happy to see void rays come back into the meta! Those have been one of my favorite units in the whole game since WoL.
16:25 lowko I believe that upgrade is called pyroblast.
Tectonic destabilazers, tempest anti ground upgrade, increases ag damage by 40. From tectonic plates, the Earth's crust, and what makes continents.
I don't know how to play SC2 but I keep watching these videos.. this game is fun to watch! I'm learning how the game goes by watching these videos
14:28 you're not fooling _anyone_ with that edit, Mr. Lowko!
Creator: why should win so easily when I can make it exciting.
:) Excellent remark!
I was yelling for like half the game. "Kill the broods and make a ton of zealots!" It took way too long to get there
It only works after zerg's completely broke on gas, so yeah it wouldn't have been a good idea 80% of the game.
At that time Zerg might've had bank to counter zealots. I think that's why he hid them later, to run Zerg dry on other units over time and check if the switch will happen again. Since protoss couldn't take out air army and couldn't reliably have detection with last pushes Zerg missed last chances of adding lurkers.... :/
Neh far from game of the year. PvZ to me is boring and seems stale. Zerg really need a true late game unit buff. The mine the whole map gets old.
@@goatfish480 However as said Lowko, it's kind of balance late game between zerg and protoss right now (after many buff for protoss), if you add a buff for the zerg late game, then the toss are back to not being able to win anything past a certain point.
