This is why I love view submitted games over the pros, you can't predict shit. Everything you know about the pro players goes out the window and the entire game is a complete gamble, I love it!
That protoss has potential. Everything he did, he did it badly and he did it slow, but he DID do THE RIGHT things. He did the bare minimum of micro with his expensive units. He built workers, he defended fine, he attacked fine, he tried to counter the opponent. If he plays more, he'll climb the ladder real fast.
Man, what a universal reaction to that "protos op" from Illion, jesus. I legit cried from laughter. And these kinds of games are why you cast Silver from time to time.
@7:20 - Lowko: "I think it's time to uproot all the Spines at once, plant them next to the nexus, attack with the Roaches and transfuse with the Queen." Ilion: "So, how do you uproot more than one Spine at a time? How do you avoid them getting shot one by one while they move forward individually? Also, he has Cannons so my Roaches will get shot at! And what in the name of Jebus is a trans fuse? Sounds like a Terran upgrade. Silly Lowko, I'm playing Zerg. You see, your plant would never work!"
Hahah we’ve all been there “why doesn’t he just stim and stutter-step while simultaneously sniping the banelings and macro at home?” Mean while when we play: *angry confused typing noises*
@@maximuscalistopontifice1042 i'm talking about before he switched to the top-left base. lowko was saying that he should switch to voids or DTs to clear the spines but he did neither.
last weekend i went with some friends to Amsterdam, and while they were all like "yeah we gonna get wasted yayyy" i was like "omg what do i do if i meet lowko on the street, i don't even have a pen to ask for an autograph"
I think the adrenaline from actually managing to trap his enemy in his starting base within the first 5 minutes caused ilion's brain to short-circuit and he basically turned into a vegetable for the next 15 minutes.
You're an extremely amazing caster man, I mean to make this silver game that entertaining. I'm gonna submit my own, I would love to see you cast my game lol
i really wish lowko harstem and the rest would do more coverage of matches like this on the lower levels. Watching the pros go at it is fun and all, but watching low level matchs are a riot, and far more entertaining, along with being alot more informative as you can actually see what bad plays look like, where as in the pro matches, if you see a bad play, its still a great play compared to what a lot of the lower levels do.
Easy to armchair quarterback a silver game as a plat but I still like to frame stuff like this as "even if I was bad at splitting my attention, even if i was bad at micro, even if I didn't know when to expand..." all the zerg had to do was start cranking out 4 queens and piles of hydras and then a-moved. Seems like his biggest issue was NOT a-moving because he'd walk past stuff without shooting at it while also taking damage, like giving away half your hitpoints for free while doing no damage. I guess the silver lining is it would be pretty easy for him to improve his play - spend your money, and know when to a-move (which is very close to always when it comes to zerg, especially at this level).
I have a replay that I wish I'd saved. Did a ling rush that got thwarted by early siege tanks. Ten minutes later I won through sheer determination and because my opponent refused to build a single air unit. LoL :)
It was a lot better than it should because I read the comments where the zerg said "protoss op" so I knew the tables would turn one way or another hahaha
This is like the how the tables have turned meme reminds me of that terran vs zerg where terran allowed a few drones to get away and managed to build an overwhelming army
The opening was half decent for the zerg. The middle and end were epic for toss. Protoss op? Lol. You got lazy after taking, scratch that, during, the toss base take over.
As a Platinum Zerg player who likes to 12 pool, I find it harder to rush a Protoss who builds close to their Nexus because the probes are more easily able to defend the pylon.
honestly? that protoss wasn't half bad. sure he got absolutely ruined initially, but instead of panicking and giving up, he took his probes, went ahead and rebuilt in an unexpected spot, defended like a champ, didn't wait for the protoss death ball to build up but instead did genuinely good smaller attacks which in the end won him the game, he knows what upgrades are, he micro'd a bit, and he was constantly producing, or at least trying to, and he didn't even get cocky once he got a lot of void rays but instead was fully prepared to go carriers and tempests if his void rays were pushed back, he had the confidence that the void rays will clean up, sure, *_but he had a backup plan._* good going, tricks.
"And with that silver league is still sliver league"
Truer words have never been spoken
"Is Protos going to win this? They're both terrible players, but is Protoss winning this?"

The "cheesing pos" response cracked me up.
Lowkos troll laugh in response to that killed me
Protoss is not op , but the zerg(player here) is too weak
@@AngusCNH That's what makes the message so funny
@@abumustafa4651 yes🤣
“Wtf. Protoss op.” While floating 5k resources
My rush failed, so instead of spending 5K resources on Mutas and an army to rush his rebuild, he just sits and does absolutely nothing while Protoss is losing his mind trying to power-out units and buildings with the Nexus.
@@donhartfield mutas are the last thing he needs lol
He had the perfect cenário to play the perfect sim city and cover the whole map
@@declanhiller4902 he could've won with 5k of zerglings. Even drone rush. Literally anything after the Protoss lost their nexus would've worked ;D
@@donhartfield lower leagues dont know how to max, they think its league of legends or sth where u have to micro only a dozen of units.

You're crying... Actually crying. Just found it soooo funny you're crying. stfu.

i think you learn more on these games too. plus there a riot compared to pro games.
13:39 Out of the 160 or so apm he's got right now, at least the 120 had gotten to the Spine Crawlers
I died lmao

Yes, he’ll climb his way out of dirt league and into wood league
Good point!
He just must watch Vibe b2gm and Will be fine
I think the most impressive thing about this match was a zerg with almost 5k resources having less than 100 supply. OMG. XD
How could he let the toss rebuild while toss had no army just need to check all expo and don’t let him expend

The satisfaction of watching this is unreal.
Zerg Cannon Rush?! With a bunch of arrows would have been a perfect title
never thought i'd see a Spine Crawler vs Photon Cannon duel
the toss could have had DTs AND voids, but ofc he went neither.
What do you mean? He won with void Rays didn't you watch the match?
@@maximuscalistopontifice1042 i'm talking about before he switched to the top-left base. lowko was saying that he should switch to voids or DTs to clear the spines but he did neither.
So this is why Zergs complain about skytoss? Perhaps submit this to Harstem as an IODIS.
last weekend i went with some friends to Amsterdam, and while they were all like "yeah we gonna get wasted yayyy" i was like "omg what do i do if i meet lowko on the street, i don't even have a pen to ask for an autograph"

eyy...same
I don't watch a lot of Starcraft 2 atm. But still I check your Channel everyday if there is a new viewer game. Pls keep them coming. I love it.
You should cast more of this type of gameplay. Sometimes it is freaking fun to watch gameplay that make you rolf~ hahaha!
Hell Yeah! A viewer game!!! This is what I tune in for!!
These are the best casts. Anything can happen!
"Protoss OP" comment at the end was really the cherry on top :D
“Protoss OP” killed me😂
"cheesing pos" LOL
Reminds me of that meme where the guy puts the stick in the bike wheel and falls. "Protos OP"
Ahh I missed viewer games
Best toss player Ever.
I tip my hat to him
Viewer submitted games are my absolute favorite to watch!
The roll laugh at the end…kills me!
"protos op"
That soda I was drinking nearly out right out of my nose when he said that.
Lowko this comment has nothing to do with this video but you and Harstem should do 2v2's and destroy everyone with the worst and cheesiest builds
Lol, that may have been the best angry tag out I've seen so far. Glorious.

The Zerg player is saving his resources for the next game i think. Dude's sitting on a pile of minerals and gas but he chose to do nothing with it.
i love the fun trash talking at the end.
I remember this series from back in the day called 'When cheese fails' and this reminded me of it hard. I forget which YT did it though.

This is the best title on UA-cam. :))

Best episode of "Is it IMBA or do i suck", ever! ... oh wait. :D
2:39 is the Zerg trying to stutter step zerglings? Against a zealot?
That ending was perfect
I was a zerg player. Bad memories of Protoss echo in my head after watching this video. It's scary.
Lowko cannot play our feelings like a roller coaster. From yesterday's GuMiho's GOTY match to today...rando? HELLOW??
Lowko, you need to do one of these where you have the person playing live with you to explain what they were thinking as you ROAST them lol
"Protos OP". That got me.
The pain of watching this
Love how the zerg player made a fuck ton of spore crawlers in its oponent's main even tho there was no starport or air protoss units
This game was glorious
There isn't a problem you can't solve with some photon cannons. If the going gets tough, put them in a crescent moon and you're golden.
MORE SILVER LEAGUE CASTS!!!
Game of the year, right here
It looks like the arrow is pointing to the spine which is pointing to another spine which is AGGRESSIVELY pointing to the nexus
That "Protoss OP" comment, oh my god! XD
Did that ravager just casually walk trough a queen there at 17:35
I missed that, but it's freaking hilarious. Looks like it walked through 2 queens.
This one was really fun! By the way, you haven't used the classic intro in a long time, I miss it
I don't play ladder and I know I'd be gold, platinum at best, if I practiced...but I take great comfort in knowing I am not THIS bad.
Despite the man’s pylons literally flys!
Nice pun Lowko
When probes escape iliot literally has no unit to chase them down lol
Protoss discovered void rays and now sits in platinum with every other protoss player.
That feeling when you've sent Lowko equally good replay and it was never shown.
Nothing could be this good (bad)
Let's be real, it's the birth place where new meta defining moments are born
Good lord that battery overcharge is insane.
The opening was half decent for the zerg. The middle and end were epic for toss. Protoss op? Lol. You got lazy after taking, scratch that, during, the toss base take over.
This was like preschool toddlers trying to spell anatomy words while you make them spin. Quite funny xD.
Queens are armoured so making the beams thick on the voids has a huge impact. Am I wrong?
New to your channel. Definitely my new favorite. I have a question, was Husky an inspiration to your casting?
As a Platinum Zerg player who likes to 12 pool, I find it harder to rush a Protoss who builds close to their Nexus because the probes are more easily able to defend the pylon.

good going, tricks.
wondre what the reasons are for the decsions
It must be hard to play a game where all the units are better than all the other units.
I was curious as to why I made it in the masters pool but the more of these viewer games I watch the more I understand why
Ahahahahha I laughed so hard with this game. Matchmaking working as intended indeed
amazing.
As someone stuck in silver league, I've never played vs players this bad before. Otherwise I would not be in silver league anymore.
I've only started SC2 last week, but half of my youtube screen is invaded by SC videos😅, I understand stuff but can't beat Medium A.I yet xd
Harstem should cast this with his am I am imba or do I suck series :P.
its very obvious but i would love to see harstem reaction
@@ZeroMetal He could make it about the units. About the voidrays, the ravagers and the queens, asking themselves am I imba or do I suck.
I actualy have pulled something like this with the spines
but with a zerg opponent
The Kala is strong with this one.
I think the zerg version of the cannon rush should be a spine or crawler rush.
this makes my beam thick for no apparent reason 15:12
I always thought Queens were armored.
Guess not, it's jut psionic and bio.
as a plat player, i have had this same response at the end of the game.
I'm watching SC2 games commented by Lowko while watching bitcoin pass 60K commented by PlanB.
My two favorite dutchmen haha
Zerg could have won but failed to close the Ramp.... Yeah right Protons OP.
Protoss always OP...
gooood morning lowko, i just woke up personally, i hope ur tea cup was heartwarming and delicious :>
i might make choccy melk personally idk
