One of the better matches I've watched this year, being completely honest. Sure, I love the rapid fire of armies going down and being replaced constantly, but this felt more like a strategy game than the usual (guess the S in RTS finally came around). By the last 30~40 minutes of the match (basically, more than half the match, haha) the game was about playing smart. Hit and run, save your units, be conservative. And Spirit played that to a T.
You noted that Spirit missed some minerals, and even some gas, but what I don't get is why Reynor stopped mining the minerals that were right next to his army for a big chunk of the lategame standoff. He just had six drones clumped up inbetween those two remaining mineral fields and the nearest hatchery for several minutes.
@@3d_win If that was the overriding goal it may have been more effective to kill all his own buildings outside of his main base, then retreat into his main base, the narrow ramp may have improved his odds of avoiding casualties until the timer timed out. And may have prevented Spirit from being able to leverage his advantage to cleanly win an army fight. Though I do acknowledge that that's not really an intuitive conclusion to come to, and maybe would have provoked any referees.
Maybe, just my thinking, in reynor's mind, those minerals would gave him nothing, the few extra basic units that those mineral could have produce, will achieve nothing vs Spirit's army or base
@@failiuredoofus There's 0 chance of managing 0 casualties. A ghost has just to move forward, and zerg couldn't stop it as it's trying to ... not do any casualties ?? The draw thingie is only good for ending a game where terran put his buildings in the air without having any army left while the opponent only has ground army
It must be incredibly draining to play such a long game, I can't imagine keeping up with everything for such a long time. Great cast Lowko! A fitting game for the classic intro!
im gonna be completely honest with u bro - i dunno jacksht about sc2 but every morning i put on a video and i listen to u talk while i sip on my coffee LOL
I remember that 3 hour long game. It was crazy, and somehow the map was not mined out. The casters were so bored they spent 15 minutes talking about ordering a pizza for anyone who posted in chat and guessed the exact duration of the game, to the second.
When you said “Ghost Transition” immediately followed by doing it in Sabaton “Ghost Division” voice don’t worry, that’s exactly what I did too when you said it first 🤣
This is the perfect example of why this game is dying. I legit see Spirits strat 7 times out of 10 on ladder vs every Terran I face. No one ever thinks of the noobs laddering being the people that watch this game. Its no wonder sc2 viewership is dropping.
did spirit even need to bother cloaking the ghosts on their sniping missions when there was an overseer and spores present? saving their energy would have allowed an even higher frequency of snipes
Better safe than sorry I guess. Sometimes it did feel like it was just wasting energy, but since he was coming from the bottom of a ramp against spores (high field of vision), better avoid the Broods sniping all the way from Brazil. (Seriously, what the hell is the range on that unit. Everything about it ticks me.)
@@hitlord Thors can hit Broods from Antartica. Broods are already severely nerfed from the BL winfestor days. A true nerf. Not like the "nerf" of ghosts that didn't actually do anything.
Reynor: whats the plan Spirit: i'm winning Reynor: alright Reynor complainging about the game, also doing nothing, relaying exclusively on Spirit to make a mistake. Would like to see Spirit saying something like "told you, i'm winning" everytime he snipes a unit
Yes because reynor was not in the position to do anything. For him winning wasnt an Option anymore it was just not losing and hoping for a mistake. He had no chance to engage without a nearly 100% chance of losing
@@MrZiva82 no you dont do that, if you don’t have any real chance to win you type GG. Reynor had a high chance to win if terran messed up the engagement, it’s all about the ghosts. That is exactly the problem there. You can’t win with your own engagement, you only can win if the terran is messing up his engagement, so that means you have to wait and hope for a mistake or you leave with a full supply of a high tech army and a running eco. And if you agreeing on that you agree to „play the game as long as your opponent build army composition XY, and as soon as he achieved that, leave the game“. Sounds stupid, doesn’t it?
Do you have consider casting an Age of Empires 4 game? Beasty, marinelord, demuslim, Themista. There are many playing it. I know it's way different than SC.
I think it's a bit underestimating Raynor, since he was in the final of next World Championship and was just 1 game of (including insead head to head final) doing what only Serral did.
Reynor hasnt been back to that beasty form since that IEM from last year. Yeah he showed up here and there at some tournament, but he has not lived up to the same expectation as being a world champion/finalist for while already. To be quite frankly, I dont think Reynor is even in top 10 of favorite player to win the coming ESL Summer.
Mutas are good at keeping terran "honest" so to speak. Terran static defense is actually static, so it become less useful as SCVs are moved to another base, while zerg can just uproot theirs and move them to more important location, so more time than not some marines will have to stay behind just couse mutas could decide to come by...
Great game. I built a full none Ikea baby crib while watching and I was done before the game ended
In the grim darkness of the extreme late game, there are only spellcasters and lowko-scan.wav
I lost it when lowko started doing that... "tehlellele tehellel tehellelle. thats the sound of the scan right ober dere" hahaha
51:08 That poor queen, tored apart by her own kids
Torn*
Another beautiful morning intro! You're the best lowko!
The tension was immense! I love these long ones.
That what she said
this game single handledly broke my sleep schedule and the casters brains watching live

When you see new Lowko vid and its 1:15h. You know its gonna be good

He just had six drones clumped up inbetween those two remaining mineral fields and the nearest hatchery for several minutes.
I think he was trying to let the game come to a draw, becayse I'm fairly certain harvesting minerals resets the draw timer.

It's to avoid a draw, if it came to that.
No kills for 5 minutes? No problem! Mine 5 minerals.
Rinse, Repeat, to avoid an Auto-Draw.
It must be incredibly draining to play such a long game, I can't imagine keeping up with everything for such a long time. Great cast Lowko! A fitting game for the classic intro!
He did it again 😁 talk about the best way to start my week
LOWKO! I stayed and watched the whole cast. I really enjoy your commentary. Keep up the great content!
Can't believe i sat here for a hour straight thinking "something interesting will happen" what a fool i was
Reynor left more salty than the ocean
I was watching Reynors video and I heard him complaining about this round 😂
It's been a long time since I've heard "Hello everyone, my name is Lowko!"
im gonna be completely honest with u bro - i dunno jacksht about sc2 but every morning i put on a video and i listen to u talk while i sip on my coffee LOL
🎉🎉🎉 When you see a new lowko video and he does the classic intro!
What an awesome match, thanks for the casting. Makes it fun.
Lowko is BACKKKKK FINALLYYYYYY
Yes! The classic intro!
Hellooo a free one 😎
now the classic outro. BYEOI!
That sound at 57:28 caught me off guard like a man on a beach when the tsunami comes
Thank God we didn't get blue balled! The tension, THE TENSION!!
I'm pretty sure Dark would feel totally comfortable playing this type of game : - D
OMG GUYS HE DID THE THING!! WOO
I have a confession, I'm one of the scumbags that LOVES spirits style this game. If I could play all my games like this I would
Great video as always lowko, keep being you and supporting sc2
Watch the whole thing and not fast forward. Good long game. Long live the Terran Empire. :)
The thing! He did the THING!!!
I remember that 3 hour long game. It was crazy, and somehow the map was not mined out. The casters were so bored they spent 15 minutes talking about ordering a pizza for anyone who posted in chat and guessed the exact duration of the game, to the second.
Play around with the classic intro be like "Helloooo everyyoonneee" and then subvert out expectations for an easy gag
27:40 yep, Mutalisks in SC1 were morphed into Guardians (Brood Lords in SC2) or Devourer (Corruptors in SC2).
Last 20 min of the video were hard to watch but great game to watch
When you said “Ghost Transition” immediately followed by doing it in Sabaton “Ghost Division” voice don’t worry, that’s exactly what I did too when you said it first 🤣
He did it! He did the intro!!
Instant like for the intro.
He said the thing going to be a great episode. 0:41
Watched the whole thing without fast forwarding XD but had to pause twice :)
The more Lowko the better!!!
They went nuts at the 28:00 mark !!
Took a break and tuned back in at 57:26 was very surprised by the sound xD
I enjoyed every minute till the end
This is a perfect example of why I watch at 2x speed.

@@Konranjyoutai turtling is not the same as going to a super late game
you missin out.
I blame the Brood Lords. Similar to when it comes to the Protoss Carriers xD
@@G00dN1ghT If you are going mech/ghost, it is the same thing. I play in Masters/GM, it isn't like Im playing gold leaguers.
"..that's a lot of juice right there..." Lowko 48:08
Congrats for the video!
That passion of name introduction made me giggle.....
did spirit even need to bother cloaking the ghosts on their sniping missions when there was an overseer and spores present? saving their energy would have allowed an even higher frequency of snipes
for those that were out of wight of dection it prevented the brood from killing the goasts

@@hitlord so 10 Range is to much for a Siege Unit? LOL.
But Tanks, Thors and Range of Ghost abilitys is ok for you?
wow, a hour and fifteen minute game?!
this'll be interesting
incredible thumbnail
Started watching this match in high school and just finished before graduating college.
I had a 3v3 and I went mass carriers and Liberators killed me so fast.
Libs are splash units if you split the carriers you kill them so easy
Had to turn my phone back to upright to comment...
HE DID THE THING, HE DID THE THING!!!
dat intro!❤
make sure u cast the next matchup between these two… i feel like this is a rivalry for now on
The only reason I wasn't skipping through the video is cause I'm multitasking
I literally skipped to the 1:07:55 part, when you talk about skipping to X part LMAO
that was fantastic
You talk about how you don't like Muta's for anybody but the best of the best. But this is Reynor.
Stefano vs Lucifron in 2012 was like 2 hours game
Lucifron also didn't know how to play a mined-out game :\
wow the last 25 min was mind numbing but I watched it alll
GHOST DIVISION
Reynor: whats the plan
Spirit: i'm winning
Reynor: alright
Reynor complainging about the game, also doing nothing, relaying exclusively on Spirit to make a mistake.
Would like to see Spirit saying something like "told you, i'm winning" everytime he snipes a unit
Exactly! Have to agree here.
Yes because reynor was not in the position to do anything. For him winning wasnt an Option anymore it was just not losing and hoping for a mistake. He had no chance to engage without a nearly 100% chance of losing
@@st4ndby that is when you type GG and congrats to the opposing player

ON A SUNDAY WHAAAAA
HELLOOOOO EVERYVON…
Ahhh, the best way to start a sc2 replay video
Oi Lowko think you've got a fake Lowko here
[36:18] it's snake from MGS ;)
High Quality Content
hahaha..... great intro
Spirit is a Beast!!!! Wow 🎉😮
O_O)
me who also fastforwarded the video when the stalemate began.
Damn bro, raynor got cyberbullied.
I was robbed of my last 75 minutes and I loved it. What the...
I can’t believe I watched that whole video
Reynor plays zerg like the lore zerg and I love it
Feels so good to see that many mutas
@57:28 lowko starts going loco 😅
i geniunely think... that spirit is my... spirit animal. *csi: miami theme goes here*
Poles like to "take it slow"
Every time I happen to glance at the YT timeline I always wonder how there's still a ton of time remaining in this game 😂
Do you have consider casting an Age of Empires 4 game? Beasty, marinelord, demuslim, Themista. There are many playing it. I know it's way different than SC.
I enjoy the stand offs
Helloooooo Lowkooooo
why did I watch this without skipping anything?
Intro :D
@The_LowkoTv2..2 ??? Ok troll or real ?
I love this game haha
In the late game, the vipers should be consuing dead extractors FIRST! Bro.
idk why UA-cam don't recommend SC2 video to me anymore
I think it's a bit underestimating Raynor, since he was in the final of next World Championship and was just 1 game of (including insead head to head final) doing what only Serral did.

If you want Viking with splash damage, just don't siege your liberators, same thing right? :P
Ghost Division!
Spirits natural also had a geyser with gas
Gonna support Spirit in the upcoming IEM series - Go Poland :)
Turtle: the game.
Mutas are good at keeping terran "honest" so to speak. Terran static defense is actually static, so it become less useful as SCVs are moved to another base, while zerg can just uproot theirs and move them to more important location, so more time than not some marines will have to stay behind just couse mutas could decide to come by...
Yes I am I just can’t stand the early game too simple for me this is what I live for haha 1:08:06
That was tough to watch. Attrition StarCraft only looks good on paper.
Hey, Lowko I didnt use the fast forward spell....cause i didnt have enough energy...
@The_LowkoTv2..2 Oh...well that is incredible ❤:D But what should I do?
Brood Lords are way too iffy. With the nerf that’s even more apparent
A salty congrats. Best way to end this hour long saga
I like it
Longest Stc2 match i ever seen 😂
The 3 hour one is up on UA-cam in all its dubious glory.
I love all that salt.
