Welcome back to Learning with Lowko! Today's facts: 1. Probes get reborn as observers or colossi. 2. A fully grown colossus can withstand a widow mine detonation. 3. Liberators and the Sentry can theoretically attack air units. However, this has not been proven. 4. Rocks are a carrier's worst enemy. 5. The missile turret is the new spore crawler. 6. A mothership's name should never be uttered. 7. Dark templars are naked, which is why they are cloaked. 8. 37:50 Pre-storms! Until next year! Cheers!

Thank Queem Brenda, you're back. I missed out on a lot of learning during your absence.

"Protoss don't die" was also part of a story in the comic book series. They have an emergency warp, but with limited range and some vulnerabilities. At least zealots have it, confirmed, so adepts, templars and pilots of all sorts should have something similar, too. Aside from Dragoons and Immortals probably, who wish to die with honor, robots of all sorts, and Archons... who are already dying violently.

Wonderful game! Would love to see more from NightMare

Love seeing some TvP at this high level

according to lore, bios like zealots have emergency warp when they're mortally wounded or on the verge of dying. some of them get to continue service as dragoons("i have returned" dialogue when warped in), immortals, some who only have their consciousness left(for heroic or commendable soldiers), get to live as AI on robotic units (purifier program). probes are robotic units that are expendable though.

Nerd moment: the Protoss as a race are joined together in the khala (mentally linked, basically every protoss can see, think, and feel what everyone else experiences, but they can keep things private if they want or need to.) When they die, it’s felt by the whole race, and while the individual themselves are gone, their memories live on in the rest The dark templar, however, decided to not join the khala to maintain their individuality and were exiled and hunted down for their beliefs and practices until tassadar met zeratul and brought the 2 back together

This was such a fun game to watch on company time!

Epic - I was screaming at Nightmare when he wouldn't engage with carriers... but he did it

I feel like the late game is getting so good lately. Like a year ago or so TvP lategame was just mass carriers/tempest vs mass BCs. But now there is a lot more variety in the unit composition, with constant skirmishes and back and forth. The same can be said for ZvP with Reynor's half-skytoss game recently and TvZ with the move away from Ghostmech. It feels like the meta as a whole is moving away from deathballs, which is very good to see.

@asdfasdf-mn8iu

5 ай бұрын

I mean, the T composition has not changed at all for years and protoss have gone from carriers only to a few carriers with many tempests and some ground army to defend them. I can't see how much changed? Mass BC was always risky for T because BC kills tempests with jump and yamato, but other than that, BC die to tempests insanely quickly. I feel like more protoss manage their army properly nowadays with oracles tagging and HT zoning, but other than that, the unit comp feels same-ish.

This was an incredible game to watch!

Wow what a game.

So many errors and so little drops, was this really Byun? Still a very fun game to watch!

Nightmare is selling dreams to the protoss and the viewers here. x) Thanks for casting. ^^

It's almost like NightMare allowed the macro game to happen to make a statement. Absolutely beautiful play.

It's been awhile since I watched a game of SC2 that was as enjoyable as this one. WP

You reading this, how does one keep track of upcoming / ongoing tournaments? One important detail: I'd like to have no spoilers for outcomes of matches that have already been played.

Crazy good game

This was an amazing dance of units between the most simple and the most advanced. Everything was built and used correctly by the Protoss player and I loved to see it. I might have a new favorite player:Nightmare

Probes are just robots their is nothing living in them unlike a dragoon or immortal. Up until Legacy of the void all High Templar Protoss units where connected though the Khala? their group consciousness so when a Protoss dies they still live on within the Khala. That was never true of the Dark Templar, and in legacy of the void the the High Templar sever themselves from the Khala. I don't know if they also have some kind of emergency warp system.

great game

Love nightmares style ❤️

Epic game!

this game is super fun

more nightmare pls

The only protoss to truly die is if they die in cutscenes

what a cool game

You just gonna start us off with “spawning here in the top right” and act like nothing happened? 😂

lol those suicide unit to the storm at the last

When nightmare pylon the pressure I cc two less cc’s

Protoss die like anyother living thing. They are turned into dragoons, stalkers,or immortals if they are *criticality* unjured, but not dead. This is how fenix came back in during sc1, but died later on along with tassader and zeratul

No over expanding economy zerg economy, no canon rush or carriers deathboll. But first of all i have some fun with every game, even in lose strike. That's why im here, not for winning everyone in the world.

Let's go!

Excellent job from the Protoss player, hope we see more of him in the future!

I wish nightmare built a bunch of cannon battery + a nexus to spend them excess minerals.. those would be so nice near the tower.

he really cooked diamond protoss players in 3:10

Zerg. More Zerg..... all the time Zerg.

Any actual biological unit gets warped back to try to save the warrior's life even if it doesn't always end up saving them. They did this because their population isn't that large which is why there are also so many mechanical units/cyborgs in the protoss army

Only one of the players is named in the video title. I wonder who wins 😂

In the pursuit of maximizing points within the same playtime, the Chad Cheeser's strategy of finishing games quickly with a decent win rate proves to be more time-efficient. TL;DR Not cheesing is a literal waste of time on ladder and as long as it's even slightly viable it's literally 3 times better than macro for gaining MMR
