I mean this isn't the best game of the year. It's the best FINAL of the year. Different counter required :)

Spoiler alert!!! The chat at the end of game 1 says, Dark : Draw?? Byun : lol Byun : Not coming? Dark : Never Byun : lol Dark : Not even if you give a million won Byun : Let's call it a draw

@@anthonybarajas2838 What I believe they were saying is that both thought attacking was a losing move so both would just sit their side of the map. Nothing would ever happen because whoever attacks loses. So draw. Or play until 1 guy just falls asleep I guess.

First game reminded me of that Einstein quote: I know not with what weapons world war 3 will be fought, but world war 4 will be fought with sticks and stones

Using hellbats to damage a structure is “the Terran equivalent of keying someone’s car” lol damn Lowko that’s a good one XD

Lowko loving and hating the mutas in game 1 was hilarious. “31 MUTAS !?” “Ok certainly he’s done- MORE MUTAS !?” 😂😂

Best of 5, over 2 hour video. Here we go! :D

Lowko "Best Game of the Year?!" Also Lowko: "I don't want to overhype it."

Lowko. They didn't send you the replays because the replays are that good. They sent you the replays because _you're_ that good

Hey lowko. Love the vids. Suggestion: on match starts, describe the map advantages and disadvantages vs the specific matchup. Thanks for the vids. Love the 45min+ ones

he does that sometimes, but it doesnt usually give any worthwhile info. if a map has a heavy advantage, then pros veto it. otherwise its mostly 50 50

Parents: Have you seen that new Netflix show? Me: No, have you seen Dark vs Byun?

Not only a great series, also top notch Lowko commentary :) broodling rain was was my favorite!

Need some translator heroes!! Honestly, these games are making me want to learn Korean. I looked up a "how to read Korean" KZread video after some long chats in a previous match. lol

Gave Lowko a thumbs up for this one.. long matches, tough job! Well done, buddy!

Two hours of Lowko casting professional SC2 finals? Is it Christmas already?

Dark was playing with his feet, using his hands to lull his kid to sleep. It will take some time before he becomes as proficient as with his hands.

something lowko keeps forgetting: terran also has to build a shiitload of buildings which also cost resources to produce theor units, unlike zerg. unless they are destroyed they dont show up in resources lost, but obviously those are also resourses that do not do any actual fighting.

1:57:51 "we don't talk about stamina of programers very much" Also goodguy Lowko: *talks about it in each long match-up*

The word "meme" certainly existed in 2008. At least in the 4chan circles.

@MarlotteTR

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".

22:56 "HE MAKES MORE!!!" xD

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 love that they spent 40 minutes, just to re-play the map

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.

This is going to be one of the few series - and one of the videos over 2 hours - I watch on multiple channels just because it’s just that wild

Dark is matchfixing, not mining gas on 11 and 5 o'clock based deliberately to lose game 1. He's basically like Life, the only difference is he didn't get caught.

Lowko: aye aye aye, 24 °C, I'm melting Me watching at 40 °C in Mexico: it's fine🔥🐕☕ Thanks for the great cast!

That first match was just crazy. It's like to neanderthals saying ugh ugh, dropping their fists, and just slugging it out

when you open BO5 video and see 2 hours in timeline

The video duration got me concerned over each player's, especially Micro Jackson's, wrists.

Delightful commentary!

2 hours of Lowko casting a TvZ... and no wild immortal shinanigans, incredible!

1:41:00 I didn't take those attacks to be desperate, I took them as just trying to stop Byun from being able to expand ever: stop the deathball from popping up while mining Byun's bases

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.

Spoiler break > 50 minutes > 0- ByuN > 0- Dark > Game 2 I don't know about best, but it's definitely cursed.

SPOILER from the first game: I used google translate to translate the end of the first game and basically they said that none of them was gonna push, so they decided to draw, chat was like: TalonDark : Draw?? Byun : lol. Thougts? Not coming? TalonDark : Im thinking to come (joke) Byun : lol TalonDark : Not coming even if you give a million won Byun : draw. let's do it. gg

Queen, Ravage, Infestor, Viper, Broodlords, Banelings and walking spores. Dark is a madman!

1:29:16 Kelvin is the metric system! You ought to know how to do that conversion! Kelvin = Celsius + 272.15. Though to be fair, not many people in the US even know what Rankine is, let alone how to convert it from Fahrenheit.

​@@cyberkekosis See, that's what I thought, but I googled it just before commenting just to make sure it was 273.15, and it told me, right in the url bar, 272.15. I should go with my gut. :( "Modern reality" is a strange phrase. When did _reality_ enter modernity?

In todays episode of Lowko teaches science we talk about Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.

I already know what's going to happen, I just have to watch another caster cast it lol

Although it didn't amount to much, I have to call attention to Dark's 200IQ play of weaving the initial muta swarm through all the turrets and picking out all the tanks to clear the way for the upcoming ultras.

When you look at top level starcraft the micro and macro factors of the game make it next to impossible to comprehend the skill involved.

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"

Game 1 is crazy ! This game is amazing !

Game 1: why use creep tumors, just use hatcheries, keeps Queen energy up.

Omg that first game!

Hmm, I should watch your cast and Winter's at the same time.

Me oh a new loco video I can spend 20 to 40 minutes on this lowko How about two hours? . . . Me, changing my plans time to lay in the bed for two hours, watching Lowko.

that's amazing

great series

In the first game they were asking for a draw, and said they won't go away for a 100 million (currency)

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

AI casting a starcraft game would really be interesting.

Dark is just here for the lulz and I am just here for dark

26:35 je suis d'accord avec toi ! Malgré qu'on a l'impression que buyn est ultra Large en ressources et en efficacité il n'a pas de réserve et atteint difficilement son maximum Et que dire de l'économie de masse de dark qui est sans fin 😱

Lowko as usual rizzin up Dark 😭😭

I always liked Dark's play-style, but after that first game I'm a fan.

What a game!!!

New build order confirmed. 3 hatch, pool, 2 more hatch, bane nest, 2 more hatch, then make a unit. Should do great on the ladder.

Lowko, you should do more content where you talk about stuff with your cam.. ur a cool guy, would be good to see you expand into other avenues..

Nice to see Byun win for a change, lol :D

If mules cost 1 supply while they're on the battlefield, that might reduce the turtley-ness of Terran just a bit - they'd still be extremely powerful, without being borderline broken in the very late game. Also, Lowko, do you ever cast with the SC1 music enabled? The old Terran music is so freaking good

everyone is looking for matches with this mod! ive played myself a couple on my youtube channel! cheers keep it up!

freaking epic!

An agreed draw... super rare!

@10:02 "My God" - Lowko

Thanks for the video, Lowko. Happy Mother’s Day every one! ❤❤❤

Dark should keep it up with the mass muta strategy

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

all of these games were great, best set ive watched since innovation vs serral

In germany we use Celsius as well btw

"Oh Jimmy... no."

If you'd be brave enough to do math while streaming again, you may add 273.15 to any Celsius degrees and you'll get Kelvins :D

Serral went to the military? I hope they at least offered him the position of a general. Someone so intelligent would be such a huge waste as a footsoldier!

byun said "let's draw" said gg and left

you should do a top 10 game of the year at the end of the year

I think game #4 could have been a Dark win, if it weren't for terran comeback mechanics, like low minerals = mass mules.

Higher unit quality = better unit density

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.

@hardworkingslacker7233

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.

why is Serral doing military service? they have that in Finland too? 🤔

At the highest level it feels like TvZ isn't quite balanced. Bio seems so strong and ghosts can answer almost everything zerg has late game with snipes.

Byun really slowed this series down. It was really good, then Terran gonna Terran.

What a game 👍gg

Finally some 2hours gameplay 😆

would like… five swarm hosts be a good end game choice for Zerg? Just create some good guaranteed free damage?

I have never seen anything like that... ❤

Can we have full version of Broodling Rain?

Im a simple map. I see Dark, i click.
