@@mariuspaulbayertz8783 The 89% win rate vs Zerg is for this year 'overall'. The 23 wins out of 31 games is only against the players listed. So he hasn't performed as well against these players when compared to his winrate for the whole year

This was a great TvZ match to watch

I'm a simple man. I see Lowko uploading an epic game and i watch it 20 times.

I think most people don't understand how hard it is to play Starcraft. Most people think Tarkov is hard...

I did not expect such an incredible game, and I certainly did not expect Clem to lose that after such a significant advantage. Impressive game!

Love the way he utilizes hellions.

Suggestion / hint for 1:10 When using text on top of a video, use a dim outline / background (even a light grey or simple black will do) to make it alot easier to read, especially on irregular background.

Love the additional stats on 1:00. P.S. I often keep an "aligulac" tab open while watching your videos. U might wanna consider (Obviously, hiring an editor, u cant do everything, Lowko!) adding graphics more often in videos (Player stats at the start, some end game graphics, tournament tag, etc...)

is it possible to do a Medivac, BC, Ghost and marines? Medivac picks up or drop ghosts to snipe anything coming to atk the BC and BC can kill all the lings, banes and lurkers and marines just be a buffer as a frontline

I love when Lowko breathes a little sigh of relief during a brief respite in the game. Shows how exciting the game is, now imagine playing it, if that's the effect it can have on someone watching it 😂 I would disagree just a little on the comment about Starcraft being clean to watch for new viewers. It wasn't until I started to practice playing and listening to casts that I truly got a grasp on what was happening in tournament games. It also gave me a huge respect for just how amazing these pro players are at what they do. When you try to practice a build order against the A.I. and even without harass, you find it hard not to mess up, it tells you alot about how good these players really are.

What a game!

I want another Clem vs Clam

The only Clem game I ever wanna watch ♥

that was an epic game

"Why people watch other esports?" Honestly, because nowadays the matchups are so formulaic that games look the same, outside cheese. Zerg especially - but protoss too, while terran at least has 2 viable and different end games in bio and mech - look almost coreographed with the same moves at the same times. The only difference is how skillfully those moves are made, but watch one and you've watched them all. I immediately cheer for anyone doing anything outside of meta, like tech switching to mass BC, neural parasite, blink DT hit squads, etc.

People love watching what they CAN do, but on another level. While starcarft is something not many people, or I daresay very few people can play and have fun effectively. They can't do it, so more chance they don't understand it, and thus, don't find it fun. A 700 APM moment of multitasking opponent to death is something not everyone understand to admire, let alone admire. It's like art. Secondly people love roleplaying a single character than being an invisible commander leading an army.

Uploaded just when I was sitting down to have lunch 🙏🏼

I saw today how rogue wins 3:0 against Clem ;)

As a former SC2 elitist, I now enjoy League of Legends just as much as well as watching it. It's the team aspect that makes it interesting it its own way. If there were huge maps with 3v3, 4v4, or 5v5 in SC2, that'd be so fucking epic, though. It'd be the best of both worlds.

There are, theyre just not... Popularly played. Also the game lags crazy hard even with good rig and net due to it not being optimized for such number of entities being active at once.

Observation: Solar is a master strategist of zergling rallying and zoning. His work ethic in relentlessly hunting down memes was the tactic that broke the infamous Clem memes contain. Lurker baiting done wonderfully with very aggressive ling flood. Never touch Roach, Muta, Queen (except for creep spread and early range defense), Nydus, Ultra. Just simple overseers, lings, banes, with lurker baits. Curiously, Clem did abandon the MMM way earlier than all of his TvZ matches. Maybe has to do with lurker baiting without any zerg flier?

16:50 bc Medvacs are now detectors

the thing is terran is higlhly micro intensive, especially Clem gameplay. So it is higly related to ping, Clem, with Byun are maybe the 2 players in the world which gameplay is impacted by Ping the most. So when he play vs korean player online, he struggle.

I feel like making so many ghosts was a mistake, should have went more siege tanks or mines

Why clem focused so much on ghost in the end game :( 2 more tanks and 1 more libe and he could have crushed that bane flow

@rockjock3

2 жыл бұрын

I think it was around 20+min mark that Solar took a fight at Clems 1st expo and main that Clem lost his only factory that was making the occasional tank and the low eco of the late game that prevented him from investing in more tanks instead of ghosts and libs. I wouldn't really blame Clem's decisions in the late game, he was doing his best and was trading pretty efficiently on defense but that's all he was doing at that point. He wasn't counter harassing or pushing back as aggressively as he did in the early game which is what ultimately lost him the match. Great solid slugfest all around.

Just back from a girlfriend's place. Got the rest of the night for myself. Got a cigar and some beer. Enjoy a phenomenal pro sc2 game commented by Lowko. What a great day.

How come terrans never move their production structures to their mining bases in the late game?

I think it's mostly because the add-ons can't fly. They're pretty important. And while they're not hugely expensive individually the total cost is quite significant. It's is enough that you really don't want to rebuild them just to move production location. Obviously this isn't a hard rule; in base trades the Terran will absolutely abandon the add-ons to relocate production.

Does Clem ever use nukes??

Does ping make a difference? When Clem plays Koreans online, both players will have a high ping. This is fair for both players, but it must detract from Clem's micro a little and make the games a little more weighted to other factors. I'm assuming that when Clem plays European zerg, he's at lower ping.

@mayastic9570

2 жыл бұрын

This might be critical, Reynor once said he hates playing ling/bane against Clem because his micro just makes it impossible. The zerg definately has the advantage when the ping goes up a bit, fully upgraded zerglings are easier to control compared to splitting and target firing with marines.

That terran play is extremely annoying but effective

why did clem insist on having 90 scvs? at some point he even rebuilt one at 89 even though all his bases were oversaturated

Fully upgraded zerglings are disgusting

I don't really watch many eSports, but SC2 is not a team game. At least, not most of the time. LoL/DotA/etc. *are* and the team dynamics is probably where a lot of the fun comes in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ However, my smooth brain can't even figure out what Clem did wrong here. How did he lose after that dominating lead?

I think it was just that Solar was able to keep up with Clem's shenanigans very well; preemptively pumping drones to nullify the early game harassment, keeping up with Clem's want to split his attention to multiple fights, and using Zergling's mobility to make pushing forward very difficult while he built up tech and materials in the background.

Not out until the bitter end….

I feel the same way. I'm also too far into my 30's and just started out playing Starcraft 2. I'm a big fan of C&C, especially Kane's Wrath. I used to play pvp back when the game was just out, but not anymore. I still entertain the thought of trying some multiplayer, but never do, because I'm just too slow with the hotkeys and stuff. I do play some Quick matches now and then in C&C Remastered and even win some games. But those old C&C games are simple compared to C&C3 and Starcraft 2.

Dont get me wrong, Clem is super great player. But he is one trick pony against zerg. Marines mines is must and later it is ghost time. Even when ppl knows what is he going to do, they cant punish it. Reynor tries to mix things up against him, but none of the mix seems to work great. This time I think he only lost because of that one ghost missplay. Is Clem really that good? Or is just this strategy really that good? BTW huge thumb up for Solar, his focus was insane!
