1:03 in fact, it was Clem doing the macro while in his online class, and everyone else spamming the depot. 😂 Harstem: “The Zerg players are probably discussing the best build order, and we got three people playing with the depot. 🤦♂️😂”
Oops! There’s an error in the second and fourth game. Apparently they switched colours in game two and four and I didn’t realise it when editing in the names afterwards. It is indeed Serral, Lambo, Reynor and Elazer playing the Zerg and Clem, souL, Kelazhur and Harsten playing Terran. My bad!
Wow that was fun to watch :-). Maybe you could switch a bit to 1 players (if that's possible) view to find out who is doing what, that would be a nice important
Fun fact, in first game everyone typed 'rock', then before clicking enter Harstem deleted it and typed 'paper', that's why his 'paper' was delayed. You can see on Harstem's channel, it's true
This match was very fun to watch from Harstem's point of view, you can watch it on his UA-cam channel. One of the games it was pretty hilarious watching one of the best Protoss player's microing just one viking killing map critters.
The two different views of both Lambo and Harstem are really awesome and fun to watch. Would recommend watching it also. The banter/strategy talk between the players is awesome.
@@IR-xy3ij You could still restrict it to something that the pros could actually match. Together they were hitting 2k+ pretty frequently. Know effective APM is gonna be lower but could still probably limit alpha star to something like 1k and have it be a good match.
I love how you can hear how lowkos voice go into fanboy mode a couple times in the vid. Its heart warming that he still gets so excited about this great game.
Some highlights from that game: Rock Paper Scissors was played for the first harassment group control rights. Not one guy microes supply depot but three! "Pyotr!" "They probably told Elazer to stop losing stuff, that's why they started to play better!" - Harstem.
I hope the players enjoyed doing this because this is fascinating to watch. I would love to see them working out great team strat styles. Doing micro that is mechanically impossible to do for an individual.
I just finished Subnautica and was thinking "wow what a great game, gonna be hard to match that feeling with whatever I do next" and then I see all-pro Archon, and *then* I see *eight* pro Archon and yeah let's go.
Last night me and my girl were fighting and I used a classic lowko line to make things better I said “we judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions”
What a great game and fun one to watch! It would be great If you could find and cast more of these games... I am not sure how many would be available... Keep up the good work Lowko!!
It's crazy to watch something like this because it makes you realize how much of the meta still is left to figure out and it's almost like looking 10 to 20 years into the future if the balance never changed. Because of the insane micro from the terrans, banelings become much less useful and zergs standard openings become weaker. You had these insane splits and medivak hot pickups. The Terran units are just infinitely more microable at least in the mid and early game, I was kind of hoping to get to see some crazy viper and infestor stuff but we just never got that far unfortunately. Almost feels like the zergs should have done some ravager openings to counter some of the micro tricks. Would love to see an archon meta develop to see what the ultimate game winning comps look like when a player has 2000+ apm.
Thats because the terran race is so good if you can micro properly, in fact in a Terran vs Any other race scenario considering that each part is equally good, terran is most likely to win.
can remember a mode kinda like this back in the day with sc1 multiplayer. me and my buddies would pick different races and then build the bases of each up for a little fun starting from just the one base. main person got that as the starting base and then you'd get one worker of each of the other races picked.
Epic archon mode is an understatement. It could be the start of a new era, hopefully. Hopefully because whoever profit a from this would rather have 4 matches rather then 1. But a team round robin would be truly legendary. In single combat each player battles each other for 2 points a win. And a team match worth 5 point a game.
I'd love to see a 4v4 Archon mode show match like this to kick off Homestory Cup! They could get some kind of bonus prize money. Or maybe have it as a filler/consolation prize opportunity during the last rounds to give the final contenders a break while their recently defeated rivals entertain the crowd.
Okay.. I mist not be the only one being crazy about this archon gamemode! Is it rare that these pro gamers play these? Cause this is soooo damn awesome and it would be extra fun if Lowko casted more of these cause these are SO GOOD!!!
"Unfortunetly" the races are balanced for 1v1 (2 players) - and that includes the how much attention one can put to wichever task. Maybe mirror matches would be better? - Just imagine 8 player TvT .. still not sure if it would be incredible or terrible :)
Bram Bora this case alone wouldn't be enough to conclude balance issues. that would downplay the excellent teamwork done by the terran team (see harstem's pov) and would neglect the disarray from the zerg side (see lambo's pov)
Yes, but zerg is generally more demanding of divided attention than any other race, with creep spread, larva injections, early casters, numerous speedy units benefitting from good spreading etc.
@@ineednochannelyoutube5384 Honestly a more standard zerg late game probably would have benefited the most from having 4 players with all those potential spellcasters. The problem is getting to those units when terran's most mirco-able units are going to be the marines they get so early (and aren't really going to want to transition out of). Also, gl finding 8 pro players from the same race to play a mirror archon match with lol
Harstem was making calls on build order and microing Vikings, drops and trolling his teammates in game 3 when they built 2 liberators instead of Vikings. It was very fun watching this game from His POV
Ok, we need to take this to the next level. Make give each team one of each race, and maybe 5 or 6 players? Let them divy things up and actually get some practice in... this could straight up be the future of starcraft. Letting each player focus on their strengths and work together under one commander? This could be some straight up battle school shit from Ender's Game. We need this.
I've seen from both harstem and lambo view. It was so funny and so much perfect micro done. Was glad the terran team won as I've recently loved harstem content
This video makes me feel such pride as a Terran main. Well, this and the recent GSL Super Tournament grand final between Maru and Dark. Like, whatever the forum posts may have told you, Terran definitely do not need any more buff, because with the right micro, they feel overpowered on almost all counts.
I watched this twice already on Harstem and Lambos youtube chanel its so funny listening to them all talk to each other. Also you find out what each player is doing. Lol in the first game serral was in charge of creep.
I'm pretty sure that Harstems the one putting down the artwork in the Terrans bases. After watching his games I've come to understand how much Harstem loves to put those down in the beginning of the games
Okay, Lowko. Hear me out. We make a special oversized map, like 30% larger than Simulacrum. The main base gets two bases. Players can mix it however they want. We get 6 players to each team.
I used to use archon mode to show my friends how to play. I'd start up a game with them, and 1v2 against someone else so they could "spectate" in game. Worked pretty well, actually.
Glory to the great generals of Terran Dominium!... And one random protoss leader... (Kate what a protoss was doing in our army? Are you jokeing !?)- This is how I imagine Donny Vermilion announcing that victory in UNN xD
Watched it on Harstem channel, their commentary and shit talk was superb. Harstem was microing the lone viking in game 2, and killed like 7 overlords, effectively capping Zerg limit.
Harstem: Where are my oracles?
Terran players: *sigh... have some banshees.
Game 2: Phoenix go pew pew on overlord.
Game 3: (T team to Z team): We made a liberator, put range on it and told Harstem it was a tempest.
"but we have phoenixes and tempests at home"
phoneixes and tempests at home:
Thank you. These comments made my day
A Warp Prism would be-
_Sigh_ Fine, you can have a medivac
1:03 in fact, it was Clem doing the macro while in his online class, and everyone else spamming the depot. 😂
Harstem: “The Zerg players are probably discussing the best build order, and we got three people playing with the depot. 🤦♂️😂”
This is how top level Starcraft looks like🤣
Harstem: Where are my oracles?
Terran players: *sigh... have some banshees.
@@jckiksass Wow what a great comment.... your not funny especially when you copy an actual funny comment and plagiarize it.
@@jckiksass you copied the top comment... what were you thinking?
You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.
The "Rock paper scissor" is about who can control the units for Harassment.
Oops! There’s an error in the second and fourth game. Apparently they switched colours in game two and four and I didn’t realise it when editing in the names afterwards. It is indeed Serral, Lambo, Reynor and Elazer playing the Zerg and Clem, souL, Kelazhur and Harsten playing Terran. My bad!
Thanks Lowko!!
Wow that was fun to watch :-). Maybe you could switch a bit to 1 players (if that's possible) view to find out who is doing what, that would be a nice important
Omg the video is in 4K I LOVE YOU
@Tarick's Scoutters He lives in the Netherlands at the moment, so kinda like a European pro player.
Ai ai ai
I want see 4 humans vs alphastar without restrictions (the one with insane hydra-micro)
man that would be super funny
Like a coop game
That would be something as gestalt vs AI!
@@dvnweak5171 It is not funny anymore IF AlphaStar do control Amon's forces!
Crazy idea
It would be amazing. And I think you could ask and submit your idea ;)
I would give him someone to build for him so he can focus on micro.
This is actually a dream come true
ive actually asked for this so many times in the comment section, finally some archon action
My reaction when Lowko said his name two videos in a row.
You literally said the exact same thing on Harstems channel yesterday... Lol
Lowko’s casted a 3 way archon before
“Is the guy still microing the supply depot” -lowko
Bro my supply depo micro is epic
Clem was Trolling Khalazar because he was still watching a teacher's stream for his class...
It was hilarious watching on Harstems channel.
In fact there were three players microing the same one 😂
hhh
That micro on the supply depo was topnotch
Index finger pushups. :D
I highly recommend watching Harstem's POV, the trash talk is hilarious!
That was so fun !
Where can I find it?
@@eulefranz944 lowko post a link to Harstem POV ua-cam.com/video/8GPupD6wP_o/v-deo.html
lambo's stream is better tbh 😂 a lot of banter and some funny control overriding at times
and yeah I watched both
top notch trash talk. depot micro
Fun fact, in first game everyone typed 'rock', then before clicking enter Harstem deleted it and typed 'paper', that's why his 'paper' was delayed.
You can see on Harstem's channel, it's true
We need more of this. This is the best thing to exist.
Go
I remember watching this on Harstem's channel from his POV...this is amazing and I am really happy you are casting this.
Definitely this!
Haha really enjoyable to hear them ragging on each other.
Tronous117 Rage or casual banter?
@@peterni2234 casual across teams, bit ragey on the zerg side between them haha
Indeed. I really hope Lowko cast the game. Well he actually did it.
If you have watched Harstem's video you know how much they flame each other in those matches.. it's pure gold
God these marine drops are so insane with these pros microing
This match was very fun to watch from Harstem's point of view, you can watch it on his UA-cam channel. One of the games it was pretty hilarious watching one of the best Protoss player's microing just one viking killing map critters.
"tumor ez" was referring to the reaper getting the tumor around the 3:30 mark
24:35
You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record baby right round.
The two different views of both Lambo and Harstem are really awesome and fun to watch. Would recommend watching it also. The banter/strategy talk between the players is awesome.
I would love to see archon mode pros against alpha star.
Restricted alpha star would get stomped.
Unrestricted
@@carbonbeaker409 unrestricted alpha star stomps all humans because it has infinite APM on all units and micros everything simultaneously
@@IR-xy3ij You could still restrict it to something that the pros could actually match. Together they were hitting 2k+ pretty frequently. Know effective APM is gonna be lower but could still probably limit alpha star to something like 1k and have it be a good match.
I love how archon takes like an hour to start but it’s so fun to play
Imagine, immortal juggling with 2 prism, on Archon mode
"I'm controlling here! No, I'm controlling here!"
I love these games, where the pros are just having fun. It reminds me of when day9 hosted the After Hours Gaming League.
Great games! I'd love to see more games like this. Imagine a Protoss game with Zest and Parting in the same team, that would be absurd.
I love how you can hear how lowkos voice go into fanboy mode a couple times in the vid. Its heart warming that he still gets so excited about this great game.
Some highlights from that game: Rock Paper Scissors was played for the first harassment group control rights. Not one guy microes supply depot but three! "Pyotr!" "They probably told Elazer to stop losing stuff, that's why they started to play better!" - Harstem.
I got ridiculously excited when I heard "Helllooooooo!!!" You're the best Lowko!
These are gold maaaan. Who would dislike this type of games. Weeee need more!
I hope the players enjoyed doing this because this is fascinating to watch. I would love to see them working out great team strat styles. Doing micro that is mechanically impossible to do for an individual.
Harstem: “do you think they were trying ?” Soul :”oh yeah” 😂😂😂😂
My first time seeing this game mode. So cool! You did a great job casting it.
ive actually asked for this so many times in the comment section, finally some archon action
I just finished Subnautica and was thinking "wow what a great game, gonna be hard to match that feeling with whatever I do next" and then I see all-pro Archon, and *then* I see *eight* pro Archon and yeah let's go.
Subnautica is an amazing game indeed
Played Outerwilds yet?
Try Hardcore-Mode in Subnautica, now that you now how to end it.
My last game was only Survival and I died 3 times :(
Serral playing Archon is what I actually wanted for the longest time, thanks so much man for casting this!
Yes! I'm so glad you got to cast this match series!
It’s like watching alphastar vs alphastar! One of my favorite series on this channel by far.
Serral: plays terran
Me: **visable confusion**
Nice seeing a different mode and it´s very interesting. 4th game was very nice; the others quickly ended up before getting exciting for real.
This match is hilarious, they're such a big memers.
I finally realized, why it is called Archon mode :D Took me a while.
Last night me and my girl were fighting and I used a classic lowko line to make things better I said “we judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions”
I watched it twice already, on Harstem and on Lambo channels. Still watching this.
am i one of the few people who absolutely wants to see moe of these kinds of games?this was hilarious and entertaining at the same time!
I like when you highlight games that win using different units. I love Archons
I love how you sing your intros, thanks for casting
What a great game and fun one to watch! It would be great If you could find and cast more of these games... I am not sure how many would be available... Keep up the good work Lowko!!

Love how in the first match the best Zerg player in the world is incharge of the creep.
Serral:"I'll be the creep guy"
This match is too hilarious XD Lowko please do more professional archon matches
I love how they started roasting each other in the fourth game XD
UNUS ANNUS'

40:30 The hellions know there are creep tumors there, so they're attacking the rocks to save a scan.
BaufenBeast lol, imagine requesting a scan to kill tumors and the others said “no”
For these Archon matches you need 8 casters.
This was amazing to watch!
Most satisfying match I've seen so far. Never seen this mode!!
I've seen from both harstem and lambo view. It was so funny and so much perfect micro done. Was glad the terran team won as I've recently loved harstem content
I saw the replay @ Lowko. Fun to first see the game with full overview @ Lowko. Then to see it from Ter side @ Harstem and from Zerg side @ Lambo
If you guys wanna listen to their calls, go visit Harstem's channel for their team's call, and go visit Lambo's for theirs. Great vid Lowko!

bb I’m 90% sure that was edited in
I edited that in. It doesn't look like that in game.

I love this ! it's like more of Maru's matches
This must have been so hard for Lowko. Harstem--his countryman--against Serral--Zerg legendary hero. Like watching your parents fight.
My sides hurt laughing from that supply depot going up, down, up, down XD
Next level SC2: Pro ARCHON mode vs AlphaStar with 1000APM limit
Would pay good money to see this!
24:55 - famous Aiur mindreading by Kelazhur. They never stood a chance.
Ty Lowko keep up the work
man i love these kind of matches. Hope to see more.
especially seeing players having a bit of funny chat in the game, which is not quite what we see often.
Harstem: so what should I do now mates???
other mates: u can be the BIG PICTURE guy
absolutely awesome commentary. without it, I wouldn't watch this awesome game :). regards
RULE NUMBER 1.: DONT TOUCH F2!
I was looking for this, hahahaha!
Why not it's a instant win 😂😂
terran and protoss players: you cant just make a billion apm and win the game
zerg players at 24:36 : haha apm machine go brrrr
"vroom vroom" sounds way more accurate with a Dutch accent :p
The lighthearted trash talk is the best part
That into gets me every time
Yaaaay! More archon! Finally!
