  • @toddgreener
    @toddgreener 6 місяців тому +10

    I think the thing that Lowko's missing is that the mutas weren't just "against terran late game". Dark was very specifically hunting down tanks and ghosts, i.e the things that would kill the ultraling composition that he would swing to after the mutas. He was essentially repeatedly clearing out the counters to ultraling so he could do damage with that.

    I am surprised Lowko until the end apparently didn't fully understand what Dark was doing with the Mutas. He got SO MUCH value from one-shotting the siege tanks and harrassing the ghosts - which are good against almost everything, but Mutas not so much! - before walking in with the Ultras. It's a brilliant idea, which I feel has even more potential to give Zerg another option in late-game ZvT.

    Hey Lowko, Been a fan for years. I've probably watched about 75-85% of everything you have produced over that time. However I have found myself not watching as much lately, maybe just all the tournaments that have been going on. Not a criticism at all, just giving you some feed back on my watching habits if it happens to relate to a trend. Always enjoy seeing you cast at the big tournaments.

  • @Owlr4ider
    @Owlr4ider 3 місяці тому +1

    Terran does have very good units to counter mutas. For bio builds it's the humble marine, for mech it's either the cyclone or thor depending on the version: battle and standard respectively. There is also the viking of course. However when Terrans enter the very late game they typically stick to mostly ghosts and liberators, neither of which is particularly great against mutas. Actually making a late game muta switch a very viable tactic as Dark showed in game 1.

    • @MarlotteTR
      @MarlotteTR 7 місяців тому +6

      The word "meme" is a concept proposed by Richard Dawkins long before memes appeared on the Internet. In his proposal, the "meme" is the most basic element of culture to share, like a "gene" with genetic information or a "bit" with computational data.
      Later, in the early 90s, the "internet meme" first appeared when Mike Godwin talked about how such "memes" were spread through email, forums, etc.
      Finally, during the new millennium, globalization allows people to access the digital era where social media have a great impact on the way, speed and breadth of dissemination of these "memes".

    Dark's muta usage was brilliant in game 1 but I was so frustrated by him throwing away 30 banelings for an orbital at a base with few minerals left. He just needed to focus on mining out the bottom right base as much as possible, as long as he mined two more bases than the Terran he could afford to simply sit back, defend his bases with baneling packs while harassing the Terran and keeping him on the back foot with his mutalisks. If he had mined out the bottom right base it would have been completely over after Byun failed to kill his top left.

    Maybe draws should be worth 1/2 point for both players like in chess. So, if you have two draws, it will be 1 to 1.

      The score is tied to the best of between dark and byun as I understand it, so whether they get zero, one half or even one whole point makes no difference.
      In chess, you get 1/2 points for a draw because you usually play in large tournament settings against a multitude of different players.

    instead of 'rock paper scissors' -> 'ling bane bane'
    one doesn't beat the other its just catchy to say / hear
    "ling-bane-bane , ling-banebane"

    I wish that after agreeing to a draw, they just played it out anyway. So much buildup of tension, and such an anticlimax.

    I would assume that Kevin is around normal body temperature, so that 24 C is about 0.66 Kevin.
