I just want to say that I approve of the fast forward in the first couple minutes of the game. Obviously the live event casters can't do this and have to come up with something to talk about to fill time, but if it's recorded and you know that nothing interesting will happen for the next 2 minutes, by all means hit that + button.
From what I remember Immortals are the sc2 pendant to dreadnoughts in WH40K. A venerated warrior who is wounded too severely to fight on is encased in an immortal, so he can still serve. The Immortal is the dragoon technology from the broodwars, but they slapped a lifesupport tank on top, replaced the typical energy weaponry with twin linked heavy cannons and gave it the strongest shield available. The name comes not only from the reinforced shield and armor, but also because the pilot is a veteran from a hundred wars who refuses to die.
Dreadnaughts eventually fall to the black rage and go insane so they are put in a kind of stasis until battle to prolong the time they can get from the pilot. Tangentially, a dreadnaught (named Cassor the Mad) fell to the black rage and talked about himself in third person while fighting tyranids and screaming over his vox (loudspeaker) "Come traitor, come to Cassor. Come and fight. Come and die, but come all the same. Come screeching or in silence." A tyrannid Carnifex managed to pin the dreadnaught to the ground as a claw broke through its armor. "Pinned. Inconceivable. Cassor shall not stand for this, puppet of the false gods. Release me, so that I may wipe thy stain from this earth." (Carnifex opens its mouth to shoot a plasma ball). "Sorcery, you dare?! Suffer not the witch to live. So says Cassor!"
I know that's true of the dragoons. Probably the Immortals too. Fenix, in SC1, falls as a zealot and becomes a Dragoon. That's why they say "I have returned" when they are created from the Gateway.
I just love Lowko’s energy. Sometime he makes fun of the players and sometimes he flames himself but most of the time he is just commenting on sc2 games for us to enjoy. Thank you Lowko!
The Void Ray is 600m in length, 280m heigh. A Star Destroyer (Original Design) is 1600m in length. That is still large for a VoidRay, considering it's basically a continual plasma/psionic beam with engines. A gun with legs lol
for the caustic spray on the 5th base at 13:00 i think scarlett wanted the nexus to finish before killin it so astrea couldnt cash back the minerals but he did it before it finished building
Scarlett was the first SC 2 player I actively watched at the behest of a hardcore SC 2 fanboy. Then I got into Serral and those two are my fav Zerg players. Just awesome gameplay.
I on the other hand have Never heared of either persons before. I feel click baited into an 1h12m video. I dont have time to watch that entirety. do you know any highlights of the video where those 500+ zerglings are visible? Or was this just an clickbait title ?
Scarlet is a great sortof-underdog to root for. She's no T1 player like Serral or Dark or Maru, she's no world champion, but that match where Maru tried to skill check her and she made him look like a horse's ass for it was *iconic* she is damned good at this game, and there aren't enough women in esports, which is another reason all on its own to root for the few we've got, and she doesn't disappoint.
Immortals are the same as Dragons for SC1, great protoss warriors are put into a machine after death to fight once again for Aiur ( like Fenix for example )
Lowko: "...I don't think I could perform at my normal standard..." Me: "...I'm certain it wouldn't matter even if I could perform at my normal standard..."
Regarding the name of the immortal, I do wonder if it was at all inspired by the classic era elite Persian unit. SC2 came out in 2010, and the movie 300 in 2007.
@LowkoTV, Immortals come from Persian warriors. Immortals or Persian Immortals was the name given by Herodotus to an elite heavy infantry unit of 10,000 soldiers in the army of the Achaemenid Empire about 600BC
Scarlett is from my hometown, so I can't help but want to watch her games. I understand why she's popular on the channel though, it's a fun playstyle a lot of the time.
Looking up the void ray on starcraft wiki... Length: Approx. 600 meters, Height: Approx 280 meters.... for us non-metric people that's 1968.5 feet long (the length of 45-ish city buses end to end) and 918.6 feet tall (assuming wide too since the dimensions seem the symetrical). So roughly 1/3 of a mile long and 1/5-ish of a mile tall/wide
3:49 I always love when Lowko give one of his random opinions when casting because its always so genuine. Always gets a laugh out of me because he usualy justifies his out-of-pocket remark but this time gave 0 explanation and moved on
After having flown a lot recently, I wouldhave to agree with the immortals that wanted to walk across the map next to the plane. Look at how hard it would be for them to fit in there, it has to be uncomfortable.
I still think Scarlett's creep spread is #1. Other zergs have gotten close but hers is still the best I think, even Serral's isn't as good. Dark can be really good if he has a plan like a queen highway. Scarlett's spread is #1 imo.
To me it seems like the Zerg, just honestly sucks. Protoss can pump out Orcales, Void rays, and carriers or immortals in 5 minutes, and the Zerg just has no answer to them. Queens as anti air suck, Ravagers also.
I wish Scarlett would capture another probe like rush all the way up the tree as fast as possible and just change the whole game into zerglings and zealots vs the toss
Void rays are awful. So are tempests. They fill the same role more or less and neither does it that well. Basically anti armor flying units. Sure tempests can be siege units but toss generally doesn't have enough map control to really make use of that ability. Protoss is really just a patchwork of units to create some semblance of balance.
I have been really loving your content. I am a long time SC player, but I have never gotten to high levels, and never played continually for years, but came and went. Why do zerg players start and then stop the vespene like that?
We like your commentary when there is Zerg players and it doesnt have to be Scarlett BUT to be honest any zerg player than Dark is better as you dont simp that much 😂
Astrea and Scarlett are professional players... But I wouldn't put them anywhere in the same league as the actual pros. They make common mistakes every game and do not seem to be getting better.
@@IcariumGaming "actual pros" meaning outside the NA? Cause NA wise they are both in the top 5 iirc? You are right they aren't always consistent though. I do like Scarlett's style of dropping overlord creep and queen tumor's during her attacks. Allows for a faster engage/retreat that you don't see other Zerg doing very often if at all.
that sums up toss mains in general. ive seen scarlett or raynor off-racing as protoss and win games that actual protoss pros(and reddit) whine is "unwinnable for toss"
I think the attack pattern of the void ray needs changed... Have the damage tick faster (balancing damage per obviously). That way +1,2,3 makes it a lot better, kind of like the BC guns. Make it so it scales into the late game.
I also think they could maybe roll back the cost nerfs, but move the void ray higher into the tech tree. 2-gate void ray shouldn't be a thing, but if, for example, you had to build a Twilight Council first or something that could push it out of being a viable rush unit while still making it cost effective in the mid to late game.
Scarlett did the impossible it was so cool! Ya know what i mean ; ) She played with her Zerg vs. Protoss and guess what?! No Spoilers! p.s: Nexus hmm...
nice starcraft match, I like Starcraft, especially I like Scarletts games; However, I dont like your commentator skill. It is really annoying.. You are too much scream.. Best option is to disable your voice... dislike

I think a bit of it is that Scarlett is so fun stylistically when it comes to zerg. It FEELS like how zerg should be played
for real!
scarlet basically just plays stephano playstyle... he really figured it all out
I just love Lowko’s energy. Sometime he makes fun of the players and sometimes he flames himself but most of the time he is just commenting on sc2 games for us to enjoy. Thank you Lowko!
for real, his content is just silly fun and good match commentary imo :D

*void ray queues*
countdown to lowko talking about how much he hates void rays
Lowko we need more games in which Scarlet actually wins!
Yeah, i was thinking the same 😆
It's the reynor/Scarlett curse of lowko 😆
amazing series =) thanks for the cast and upload , GG
I see Scarlett, I click. I see Lowko, I double click
I on the other hand have Never heared of either persons before. I feel click baited into an 1h12m video.
I dont have time to watch that entirety. do you know any highlights of the video where those 500+ zerglings are visible?
Or was this just an clickbait title ?
so you like fake grlls
Scarlett is a guy.
You click just because of a name? You sound like you shop on TikTok.
@@skapunker1986it was clickbait.
The Queen of Zerg is at it again
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Glad your operation went well. Get lots of rest! ❤
Lowko: I don't like Void Rays
Me: Yup, we know.
I been watching for a better part of 10 years I own the game but never played it but I always like watching other play it so thanks man
i only play co-op commander but I still watch these pro matches :) played since the first SC came out when I was a wee lad
Scarlet is a great sortof-underdog to root for. She's no T1 player like Serral or Dark or Maru, she's no world champion, but that match where Maru tried to skill check her and she made him look like a horse's ass for it was *iconic* she is damned good at this game, and there aren't enough women in esports, which is another reason all on its own to root for the few we've got, and she doesn't disappoint.
I mean shes not a real woman
I dont care. She is most def the most entertaining for casual players like me.
Idk why she gg'd out of that 2nd to last game though. She should of just droned tf up!
lol, you are so funny. What woman?
@@4utoxic trans-women influence and encourage biological women too.
"All high level zergs are good at creep spread." Yes, and they learned it from Scarlett. :)
Lowko drinking game, take a shot every time he says "REEAAALLLLYYYY" and/or "you love to see it"
Don't forget "None other than" and "For example"
@@Markfr0mCanada oh man we'd be wasted after 1 video
drink everytime Lowko says "AY AY AY!!!"

Dog owners: My dog jumps to the bed everytime I wake up
Ganthritor owners: My pet keeps clearing the house off the map everytime i wake up
Immortals are the same as Dragons for SC1, great protoss warriors are put into a machine after death to fight once again for Aiur ( like Fenix for example )
Every time there's a Lowko pun I have to smash the like button
Thank you for casting this suggestion.
This cast was pretty funny 😂 appreciate the laughs + content 💪
lowko said void rays need a buff, confirmed
Lowko: "...I don't think I could perform at my normal standard..."
Me: "...I'm certain it wouldn't matter even if I could perform at my normal standard..."
great series!
Bro, every time you talk about the queens it cracks me up so bad! It's so fuckin funny!
lol damn man, seeing scarlett getting reverse wiped, never thought i'd see the day. very well played astrea!
Regarding the name of the immortal, I do wonder if it was at all inspired by the classic era elite Persian unit. SC2 came out in 2010, and the movie 300 in 2007.
I will nominate Scarlett for a Canadian Sports Award, she truly deserves it.

If im not mistaken, zealots who fall in battle are turned into dragoons and dragoons themselves get turned into immortals
Fenix wasn't an immortal tho
@@percyj.5091 but Fenix was originally a Zealot
I'm a huge Dark Templar fan. Great for defensive battling to counter ground pounders, and good for harrassing.

Love Zerg. Love watching Scarlet play.

i take it back he does justify it later, he just first lets it hang in the air first
i remember doing double stargate voidray every day like 8 years ago XD
Nice vid lowko
I don't really know how to play this game, but I still watch it, I don't know why 😂
So if somebody makes a mod that makes void rays cute and fluffy, will Lowko like them then?
He's my favorite commentator!
Just keep on going no matter the loss “Sanchez lay”
LETS GO SCARLETT ! OUR QUEEN !
"She's mah kween"
👏
After having flown a lot recently, I wouldhave to agree with the immortals that wanted to walk across the map next to the plane. Look at how hard it would be for them to fit in there, it has to be uncomfortable.
For as advance everything is, you'd think they would try out cool things called telescopes. (I know nothing about Starcraft Lore)
LOL. Protoss: High tech army. Carriers, Storms, Archons, Immortals.
Zerg: Roach + Ravagers. DERP. I WIN.
I still think Scarlett's creep spread is #1. Other zergs have gotten close but hers is still the best I think, even Serral's isn't as good. Dark can be really good if he has a plan like a queen highway. Scarlett's spread is #1 imo.
To me it seems like the Zerg, just honestly sucks. Protoss can pump out Orcales, Void rays, and carriers or immortals in 5 minutes, and the Zerg just has no answer to them. Queens as anti air suck, Ravagers also.
He said the thing..Yes!!
I wish Scarlett would capture another probe like rush all the way up the tree as fast as possible and just change the whole game into zerglings and zealots vs the toss
Nah. It has to be a carrier rush.
Astrea is basically a different player for the last match.
Love Skarlett games! ❤ 🌈
Idk who scarlett is, I don't play this game :(
but Zerg....creatures...Must watch!

Hey, I love the music in the background, is it just the base game music or could you please share us the playlist? Thank you in advance!
it's base game music!
Is it cause she's Canadian? Or cause she's a girl? Why everyone hating on Scarlet? Not hating really but rooting for the other guy? Idk

Haven't seen Special in anything in a bit. Is he still competing?
Damn i have been watching Scarlett play this game for like 20 years. Soon we are both due for our first prostate exam.
Music is very loud ^^

Yeah Scarlett is pretty cool
inb4 the transphobes start having a meltdown in the comments
Oath! I haven't watched any starcraft for about 5 years and I swear this didn't used to be a thing on her games. Maybe I was just blind back then.
