One of the first things I did on the internet was get my ass kicked in Backgammon by 12yo Turkish girls. Quit playing online games till StarCraft came out.
I actually played in the tournament just for fun, I was looking at the results afterwards and was pleasantly shocked to see trigger took the whole thing without dropping a single map. I hope he wins EWC to be honest, he earned a new fan. I saw him at dreamhack Dallas but didn't get a chance to talk to him, kinda regret that now haha.
@@SuperKnight263 that's kinda the problem for Scarlett, she is a main zerg player but Serral is SO DAMN good the zerg get balanced around him and 99.99999999999999% of players couldn't even compete at his level in his dream, so Zerg is completely dead for everyone except 1 guy.
He reuses a lot of pictures of the pros, and of himself. Though I do notice those change up a bit. If I had to guess, while Scarlet is a well-known player, she doesn't often place high in major tournaments, so there's probably less publicity photos of her.
@@Enruler I've heard a lot of people make that claim, but nobody's ever been able to give me example of Scarlett "bringing a lot of attention to themselves." (Except in the same sense that EVERY Starcraft player brings attention to themselves.) It's weird how they all make the exact same claim, almost as if they were being coached on what to say.
lol... internet was not much different than real life for me, except 007 goldeneye on n64. i was a god at that game in town, like, there's a spot in temple you can stand with a grenades launcher and hold down most of the spawns with only like 10 feet of movement. the last 2 stay pinned in by fire. i spent hours practicing the bounce shots alone. ended up disallowed to use most guns, or take the high ground or spawn control points. defiantly no explosives allowed for me :P internet, i was still often top tier and promoted to guild leader, won solo fights against top tier guilds in some games.
Don't Feel bad about the like thing. I hate when people ask for like and follow early in the video, but half way or at the end it's all good!! Also because you say it, i get reminded to do it!!!. I wouldn't have if you didn't mention it. Don't feel bad!
Statistically (in terms of maps - not matches! - won in all major tournaments), Terran is the most OP, with over 40% victories. I can see why: they got perfect scouting, most well-rounded starter units and several BIG get out of jail free cards.
Well just few seconds into that video is enough and a nice reminder of why I do not play 1vs1 anymore. I mean look at it, how annoying it is? It's basically some maniacs in front of a keyboard clicking non-stop to make micro movements all the time, back and forth back and forth back and forth over and over again, which is not only painful to watch, but painful to play. Stressful and not really enjoyable. At least for me. I do not feel any shame or regret by playing against AI while I'm relaxing and building a huge army.
Scarlett's only good at starcraft-like RT(S) that heavily rely on micro. She absolutely sucks at Supreme Commander and Planetary Annihilation (and to a lesser degree, Homeworld, 'cause its maps are sooooo damn small) that are true strategy games in terms of scale.
Might be just me but it seems like making a base outside those golden minerals in game 2 never seem worth it. You open yourself to an easy attack without an easy way to defend yourself. Getting reinforcements seems hard to do. Almost seems like it is designed to be bait. Could be worth it if the other person doesn't scout, but it seems like its always worth scouting.
I know what I'm about to say. Will be controversial, but I think ghost snipe ability should either be nerved or have a longer cool down. It would allow zerg to do a lot better against Terran. than I think void rays should get a 1 to 2 damage boost buff. To make a more viable for using against opponents.
Yeah I don't really play but the ghosts seem pretty busted. I think it being a hard counter to a unit like the Ultralisk is fine, but it seems like they essentially delete any late game zerg unit without any issue. I like seeing the Ultralisk out but I know they are generally useless. Bad enough their pathing is wonky, let alone being hard countered by a single unit. Maybe it would be less of an issue if they were more maneuverable. The EMP grenade is fine, but if they had an attack animation to show it went off. I think more people would be complaining about the unit much more.
Steady Targeting is not a cooldown ability, its energy based. Increasing its energy cost from 50 to 75 is a colossal change that would likely break the game. Its easier to adjust balance by just nerfing the ability's damage. Protoss certainly doesn't need a buff right now and Void Rays especially become easily broken in the early game when buffed, they tried that already.
@@hivetech4903 going to assume the total amount of energy a unit can hold is 100. So why not start with something like 55 and maybe brining it up to 60 cost? Idea is to prevent the use of them being used back to back, no idea if this is how they are actually used. Seems like when the unit is used on a mass scale, don't think they are cloaked because the other units will take the damage instead. Nerfing the damage would also probably work as well, as well as being simple.
@@kosmosXcannon The maximum energy that energy-bearing units can hold is 200. It takes an eternity in SC2 time to gain that kind of energy. Thanks to relatively recent patches, a ghost's snipe will get cancelled if the ghost takes damage while channeling. The original Snipe ability had no cast time and cost half as much energy, allowing a ghost to rattle off 8 of them at once, though it did a lot less damage. The traditional Zerg counter to the Ghost is banelings and zerglings. They're cheap and fast to produce, have greater sustained dps per cost, especially in the late game with the Adrenal Glands upgrade, and they are accessible far earlier than Ghosts are. Even with numerous full-energy ghosts, lings can out-swarm ghosts' killing power. That is of course not accounting for things like medivac pickups. One Zerg counter-ghost strategy developed by Serral is to use an infestor to Neural Parasite (mind control) a ghost in a group of ghosts and use that ghost's EMP Round on itself to drain all the energy from the ghosts. It's not easy to pull off, of course, since that infestor tends to die quickly. Like Lowko says "It's simple: just play like Serral!"
@@Kotaztrafee I don't go for that stuff. She's a she. Can't change it with surgery or meds. We dont' have to agree. We don't have to hate eachother. It's a simple truth of having a different opinion shouldn't cause someone to hate another. The world has shifted away from that... it's a nightmare waiting to get worse. Men are men, women are women.
@@Kotaztrafee Wow... You had to stretch REAAAL far, and pull some bullshit out of your ass, to get a trans bash in there, didn't you? You should probably be made aware that you are a bad person. Stop being that.
"People who are good at strategy games..." That's too much of a generalization. I'm good at strategy games. I get my ass kicked in Starcraft because I can't micro for shit. RTS and turn-based games are very different.
Sure she is. Those are the pronouns she wants us to use for her. You can ignore that, but that doesn't change her pronouns, it makes you a rude person.
@@Enruler Just out of curiosity do you think that people with XXY should dictate a chromosome combination specific pronoun. I know the condition is quite uncommon but if we're basing our pronoun usage off of chromosomes would you agree we need a new pronoun for this use case. This one can be more easily categorized but if someone has XX but the genes on the second X are not functioning normally and they have male primary and secondary characteristics. what pronoun would you use?
Best of 5... Video is under 22 minutes....
Lets you know real quick who the winner is
I am now imagining grown up Lowko walking through an elementary school chess tournament with his chest puffed up, beating every little player hahaha
One of the first things I did on the internet was get my ass kicked in Backgammon by 12yo Turkish girls.
Quit playing online games till StarCraft came out.
Video is so short I completely missed "Scarlett's incessant ZERG RUSHING!"
Yeah basically she COULDN'T STOP ZERG RUSHING and then she COULDN'T STOP ZERG RUSHING but mostly for me it was that she COULDN'T STOP ZERG RUSHING
@@MrBlueSleeves I'm sorry I don't get it ?
Holy crap, a ZvP featuring Scarlett that doesn't have Astrea on the other side?!
That was such a stomp, the younger players are getting better
And Scarlett is most likely not playing so much any more.
That's the way it works. The older players, video games or sports or whatever, slowly leave and new younger players move in.
Hello LOWKO and everyone else!
ngl, I appreciated this one wasn´t very long xD
That's what she... I let myself out...
A girl zerg that is the creep queen. Sounds like a good time 🎉
Lowko getting to real with the elementary school chess part
lol... very subtle on the **like this**. better then a 3 min monologue
So... you're point is you want LowKo to not hold a monologue? Sounds reasonable. Jk, i also appretiate it the way he does that :)
This is the qualifier for EWC, Saudi Arabia. No wonder Scarlett played like this.
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Appreciate the excellent content as always. ❤

I hope he wins EWC to be honest, he earned a new fan. I saw him at dreamhack Dallas but didn't get a chance to talk to him, kinda regret that now haha.
Watching Scartett games nowadays is really painful :(
Sad, but true.
Third series in recent memory where she got dominated by protoss
The game balance it's so bad now that O dont blain her. I'm actually surprise she even bothers in playing it anymore.
@@anibalbarca9549 and yet serral still dominates the game. the guys a monster lol

great series!

What's Scarlett's chess rating (roughly), anybody know?
76
What is the "six" "punch" "spider" icons that always appears in the top right corner at the beginning of every Lowko video?
It's the Dutch viewer guide (Kijkwijzer), basically the vid is rated for audiences aged 6 or older, has violence and elements of fear
I've no issue with you quickly saying like the video Lowko
"It's news to me too" xD
I see a hatch rush, I click the like button. I don't make the rules!
I'm simple, I see Scarlet and spike rush in the thumbnail, I click
Oh no, a less than 30 minutes video. oh no. This is going down down down
where's the water pumps? Idk, Forgot to Count on Caps a gain.,.
I expected more cheese, awesome game nonetheless, very entertaining!
If you look at for example THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD, he usually loses only2 drones...
Just a random example.
Dude, thank you for all your hard work. A fine set of matches showing that the most OP race - Zerg- can be countered and ultimately defeated.
Statistically (in terms of maps - not matches! - won in all major tournaments), Terran is the most OP, with over 40% victories. I can see why: they got perfect scouting, most well-rounded starter units and several BIG get out of jail free cards.
lowko use neural parasite on me to click the like button. 😂
15:00 But Lowko... the likes are 2222... i can't....

Keep doing the like thing, i just forget to hit like, ty for the reminder
I don't have many sports icons but scarlet is my zerg icon. Long live the queen
Has Scarlet won a game in the last 5 yrs? 😂 I told this before i watch the video. I always watch her hoping she will win haha
