For people that wanted to know, Those zealots killed all of the vikings, including the one that got moved by the medivac. That zealot "runby" absolutely won maxpax that game.
Even despite that, it still seemed like Maru could have turned it around from that point. It should have been critical damage that ended the game right there, but it wasn't. Maru had to go on to miss another zealot runby and lose half his army to disruptors to finally be killed off.
Maru has been doing these weird all-in timings in every big series I see of him. It's like he just doesn't want to go late-game, where we've seen him thrive before. Not sure if the patch threw him off or if he can't be bothered playing high level matches. Same thing happened in GSL last week. So unusual!
Have to love tome zones. I do a decent amount of traveling to southeast asia. Always fun to confuse people when I get home saying, "I just got off a 12 hour flight from Tokyo and got to Chicago 3 hours before I left."
Honestly yeh, if you see Mary push out then he’s not expecting you to attack, what a beautiful side ship by MaxPax… I love Maru, but MaxPax absolutely stomped him here
Lowko thanks for posting these videos. I enjoy watching your videos everyday at the end of the day after I have done all my work, houseman, husbandly and fatherly duties. Live long and prosper man!
I know right. I am sure the 3 races are pretty balanced when looking at the statistics, but whenever I watch good terrans play, they just seem so much more powerful than zerg or protoss. Being able to do so much more with much less. Pretty sure it is all in my head, but I cant help smile when zerg or protoss give the terrans a run for their money.
@@allanlarsen3261Terran is designed as essentially a loe eco heavy agressor or a turtle race. This means they almost alwayd have lower eco& more powerful units. This also makes them very frustrating to fight as their stuff is just *better*.
I have a feeling Maru is really dropping the ball lately. Cant remember when i saw him win the last time against a top player. He was even the first player to get eliminated from the currently running GSL in the group phase.
Lowko, I am confirming I am watching this from the future. The world is still here, it is occasionally good, and I have smashed the like button. Please send out a repair crew, I may have cracked it.
Heya! I dunno if you want people offering advice on English in the comments (especially if it was just a verbal slip-up), so I'm sorry if this comes across as rude or pedantic. At 9:45, you'd just use "technical" instead of "technological." Technical would be used for describing the techniques and language around a certain skill, while technological is specific to technologies themselves. That said, fantastic cast! As a long-time viewer, I adore the personality you put into your content and your unique style of banter which makes each video feel conversational even when you do them solo
"If you're watching from the future..." I don't think there were ever anyone watching from the past (as of the time a video is created)😂 But I love how Lowko said that with genuine goodwill in his voice. Yes. I'm watching this from your future, and thanks for your kind words.😊
Those Zealot runbys reminded me of Serral's burrowed roaches, from his past games. In regards to how effective they were and how in most cases, won the game. It has to be said though, Maru isn't near his best, for whatever reason. You can only beat what's in front of you though so well played MaxPax 😀
122 army supply vs 88 from Terran, 12 skirmishes Chargelots only kill 1 Ghost, then the entire Protoss army gets decimated by Vikings, 4 Tanks, and a handful of 2-3 Ghosts and Marines. In the end, Protoss: 72 army supply vs 80 army supply from Terran. It's completely ridiculous; in every game I watch, the Protoss never win the battle when they attack, and the only reason they manage to defend is because of the Shield Battery."
6:26 Holy shit, MaxPax deliberately attacking marauders to drain Medivac energy. Same with the stalker dancing at the front. Those are some 300iq plays right there. 7:08 Lo and behold, they're bone dry.
Maxpax making protoss look OP is always a good feeling. I suspect void rays have much untapped potential. In a previous game maxpax ate several liberators while scaring drops with 1 void ray. Defensively that is a great payoff, using them almost like zerg queens. They also may have synergy with disruptors. The disruptor forces a retreat, void rays attack on pursuit, and there is no fear of friendly fire. That sounds like a spicy way to play.
Like Lowko kept saying, it really felt like Maru was playing them like the old patch. With their speed locked behind an upgrade they're just not fast enough to zone away the Void anymore. Once prismastic alignment pops they just disappeared.
@@jackinthebox301 i've seen a lot of new cyclone play already and since even uThermal and similar grand cheesers can't use it at least 60% as efficiently as the old one i'm considering this a huge nerf and ultimately a removal of the unit from the meta. new cyclones are okay VS zerg but you will be okay in TvZ regardless of cyclones if your opponent isn't Dark or Serral level good. in TvP, cyclones were a useful early push detergent but now... even pumping marines like crazy ignoring factory production at all is way more efficient
@@jackinthebox301 one little change would've made them imba though just remove the armoured attribute and stalkers+immortals no longer hard counter them
It would be fun to get a video explaining the pro players a bit. Serral is the best but Oliveira is the world champ? But Maru is the best terran? Would be interesting :) I know you mentioned how you like Oliveira's story also which I do not know!
Short version: Serrals zvt and zvp is godlike, but his zvz is mortal, he was eliminated through zvz matches. Oliveira didnt seem to perfom on the same level as when he was going for world champion, so yes, Maru might be best T despite Oliveira being world champion.
@@allanshpeley4284 It's a habit for me to scroll down to the comments basically right away, but I must always resist on things with winners, cuz the top comment will always be OMG IM SO SRURPRISED X WON or WOW THAT LAST GAME BY Y WAS AMAZING. Every. Time.
3-0 Maru is always an excellent feat but like... I felt like this 3-0 is a bit lesser than other 3-0 due to the drop from Maru form (dude just got eliminated from GSL Group stage) as well as several mistakes from his macro/micro ingame...@@ab-rw9jk
I really wish max would play in some offline tourneys. Him and serral are my two favorite players to watch. I enjoy hero a lot too, but i sometimes feel he is a bit more inconsistent (also him leaving his natural open all the time lol!)
Starcraf was once a family thing, we the kids used to play against a single adult, which makes me wonder. Are there matches where pro players (just one at the time) play against multiple players of lower leagues? I'd love to watch some of those, the nostalgia you know.
It's pretty weird to see most top terrans trying to use the cyclone like the rework did not happen. A lot of people trying to say that the new cyclone is just worse, but that's only true if you try to use it like the old one. It's basically a new unit that needs new build orders/strategies. Terrans will probably adapt soon, but I kinda expected a little more flexibility from the top ones.
Maybe its more weird to see comments not realize that pros practice new builds like 10 hours a day? An opener with Cyclones like Maru tried literally could not have been done on the old patch, you can't just use a unit differently. Also Terran can't just not do a 1-1-1 and not harass. At pro level the race is built around achieving some early game worker kills or they get crushed later.
Terran and zerg win: the player did really well and understands the game and mechanics. Protoss win: their opponent really didn't play well, are they ill? Out of practice?
Funny laser ships will always give me dopamine, no matter what tier they sit at
I know. I play Zerg main nowadays, but I still miss making the beams thick...
I miss the old void rays!
For people that wanted to know, Those zealots killed all of the vikings, including the one that got moved by the medivac. That zealot "runby" absolutely won maxpax that game.
oh hi Mark
It's weird how maru just decided yo not give it enough attention and completly focused on the main fight.
I'm not recognising maru in these games
@@rogal_dorn5600 Even the big players have to fall some day
Even despite that, it still seemed like Maru could have turned it around from that point. It should have been critical damage that ended the game right there, but it wasn't. Maru had to go on to miss another zealot runby and lose half his army to disruptors to finally be killed off.
That last game was wonderful gameplay by Maxpax. So fun to watch!

Don't want to strain his shoulder (or back) perhaps. Last time he got injured like that.
His micro was also terrible. So many big disruptor hits in the last game...
hello from the future. it's Tuesday 1:11am in Sydney
Have to love tome zones. I do a decent amount of traveling to southeast asia. Always fun to confuse people when I get home saying, "I just got off a 12 hour flight from Tokyo and got to Chicago 3 hours before I left."
Lottery numbers for proof?
The zealot chaos is becoming a MaxPax speciality.
i was just wating for it, i love it man
Reminds me a lot of Reynor and his zerglings. Haven't seen much Reynor recently....
Max Figured it out. Pressure at all time, never let up :D
Honestly yeh, if you see Mary push out then he’s not expecting you to attack, what a beautiful side ship by MaxPax… I love Maru, but MaxPax absolutely stomped him here

One of my best moments of the day. Video from Lowko 😂❤ Cook my meal and just relax watching or listening.
Great series! I would love to see more MaxPax vs Maru in the future!
It breaks my heart to see Maru lose this way
31:51 so satisfying too see those Ghosts explode
00:35 greetting from the future!
14:53 that adept shade enters the barracks to ride a siege tank then defect to the Terrans.
Are the lamps on either side of the entrance of the main ramps little motherships? Check 14:00
Great start of the week, can only go down after this
This game made me happy to watch. Strong performance by MaxPax. Thanks for the great casting as always!
The Cyclone went from being able to 1v1 a Battle Cruiser early to losing hard to a voidray. Ya they suck now lol.
Ikr

20:30 I miss the good old days of 2010-2011 meta where Protoss would just go mass void ray to counter everything because it was so OP
Lowko, We never watch your replays in the future, we always watch them in the past
Love the maxpax play. You serve the protoss players well in the last time
Love how low uses mamma ship instead of mother ship 😂 puts a smile on my face every time
Cyclones are now rocket-equipped go-carts.
Did I see the lights of the CC flash once it oaded with SCV, and they stopped after the SCV back to work?
I hope maru is ok, he dont play that bad usually
Looks that they made the cyclone out of paper this time around.
Lmao
The voids just deleted the cyclones. Interesting. How do you make them make cyclones?
Maru is waaay off these couple of series ey...
Maxpax, however, is just glorious: smooth micro, zealot runbys & stellar pressure-gameplay! Well-done!!
Maxpax making protoss look OP is always a good feeling.

maxpax is the hero we need and deserve for some protoss domination at long last.. feelsgoodman
Maxpax is playing so well god damn. His positioning, his strategy and execution were top tier this series, awesome.
Calling it "The Mama Ship" is deeply disturbing 😆
Where did you think the protoss are born? 🤰🤰🤰🤰
i just love watching Zealots played by maxpax, he does it so well
Hello back, i am watching from the future. I am a bit behind with the videos, cause of course i watch every single video of you!
For what it's worth I couldn't hear anything out of the ordinary when the microphone was hit. I even rewinded to make sure.
What a great series! Love the zealot runs!
Bring back Goliaths. Cyclones have no use anymore with this patch.
Some savage gameplay!
Whoa whoa. Loko shots fired. Minecraft can be just as stressful especially when playing on hardcore. Don't jab it till you tried it.
That last fight felt like deja vu for some reason. Cant quite put my finger on why though.
- Bo5
- 35min
- Maru vs Max
gona be interesting match 😆
The dark shrine is a giant sprinkler head.
Zealots used to be a fearsome unit! I love to watch Zealots destroying everything haha
balance council: "we are up to make Cyclones more viable VS Protoss"
MaxPax: "did you mean not viable at all?"

13:47 Feels like TvP is the new PvZ lol
Looks like Blizzard managed to successfully nerf Maru XD
Well MaxPax did play very well in any case.
Voidrays are such an underated unit, yes they are a bit expensive, but they hit like crazy vs armored
At one moment I thought Maxpax was playing against someone name Emaru 😂
Concussive shells is the most underrated upgrade.
Best video in a while boss. Love it
If you're a protoss player, the time-stamp you want is 17:55. Extremely satisfying.
LOWKO IT"S NOT SAFED IT"S SAVED!!!!1 2:58 "ALL OF THE SCVS ARE SAFED" IT SHOULD BE "ALL OF THE SCVS ARE SAVED"
Cyclones... more like cyclowns. They really suck now.

Lowko, thank you for staying based and redpilled on the evil wiles of mobile game companies!
Is it possible that the problem of Maru is that he doesn't know yet the maps to do the turtle stuff that usually does?
Man Lowko you are such a genuine nice dude! Lekker bezig pik! 🎉❤
Cyclones still count as armored units, which means voidrays just outright vaporize them.

Only 6 days in the future, but I'm watching lol
im watching from the futur.... but its still monday
Awesome
I really wish max would play in some offline tourneys. Him and serral are my two favorite players to watch. I enjoy hero a lot too, but i sometimes feel he is a bit more inconsistent (also him leaving his natural open all the time lol!)
theoretically, everyone is watching from the future
Everytime I see a MASSIVE disrupter hit, it feels like watching someone get kicked in the balls
I was thinking about that during the game too. Funny how we don't feel the same way about sustained siege tank fire, despite the high damage output.
Starcraf was once a family thing, we the kids used to play against a single adult, which makes me wonder. Are there matches where pro players (just one at the time) play against multiple players of lower leagues? I'd love to watch some of those, the nostalgia you know.

Exactly! Uthermal has a series dedicated to this:D

My beams are so thick rn
🤣🤣🤣 I agree with that take tho! Minecraft super relaxing ❤
When you said you'd be fanboying over MaxPax I swear I heard Femboying and I spent longer than I should have trying to make that make sense.
MAXPAX is the most innovative Protoss, this isn't a question, what happens w/ Protoss isn't a factor as the balance patch is still in question.
maxpax looked like a protoss serral today
So far MaxPax has had 14 wins and 44 losses vs Serral...
10:50 I know Chessplayers who lose 3 Kilogramm on a tournement day. Try this with golf...
I won't be surprise if Maru retires next year. Seems the man can't be bothered to actually try and do his best.
