Every SC2 player's dream to have Lowko introduce them as "None other than..."

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!! man you are a legend for casting these viewer games

"Why are we having an epic battle here instead of... making more stuff?" Because then, Lowko, it wouldn't be an epic battle

Wouldnt be the ultimate counter to a planetary rush just moving a probe underneath the CC while it tries to land? 😁

not necessary, its quite easy destroy the planetary fortress therefore more loses for oponente

always a pleasant surprise to see a viewer submitted game, especially on a monday evening

Seeing these viewer games and their ranks gives me confidence again

I love your casts lowko ! Thank you for keeping us entertained and happy throughout quarantine and these past few years ! 😄

Photon cannon voidray is an amazingly effective strat in gold league

Such a great commentary!!! 27:25 Where are we going, dude? What are we doing right now? What is this?... Amazing!

My biggest fear is being the opponent to someone who decides to send our match into lowko and seeing myself on his channel

Wow that deep LotR lore photon cannon analogy. I dig it. I see you, nerdy Lowko.

2 players throwing the game, but neither of them can catch

The protoss in the PvP are both in my league.. playing against them feels so scary but watching them is comical. I must be hilarious to watch

@@obamagaming9456 I'm actually plat too but these guys would probably stomp me. I'm zerg with 65% WR against terran, 75% against zerg, and 35% against toss. If I was even 50% vs toss I might nearly be diamond but since toss is 90% of the ladder and I suck so bad against them I'm stuck where I am. I got beaten by a toss with 48 APM yesterday. I literally tripled his APM and lost. The only way I beat them is if they fuck up really hard and I swarm while they have no units. If they play the slightest bit safe then it's a guaranteed win against me for them.

@@TheAgavi Honestly I think you can just queen walk 90% of low elo tosses and double your winrate. Just do an early timing attack with roach/ravager/queen after +1/+1 finishes and you'll beat a fair majority of them. The only opener that would force you to go defensive instead is DT rush, but then all you do is defend with spore crawlers long enough to get a few overseers and probably wait for +2/+2 for your next timing attack.

@@ralfkinkel9687 In theory. In practice I rarely get it to work. Cannon battery with voids is just too hard for me to break.

I love how those DTs patiently waited for their attack on the natural UNTIL THE F*CKING CANNONS WERE BUILT! 200 IQ play right there...

leveling through STV as I am watching this, I feel your pain on the rogues.

Fun fact, ultimate end is the summon title for the secret summon Knights of The Round from the game Final Fantasy VII. It did 15x massive damage to all opponents.

To help anyone who doesn't understand clock direction: Directly South = 6 o'clock position South-West = in between 7 & 8 o'clock position Directly West = 9 o'clock position North-West = in between 10 & 11 o'clock position Directly North = 12 o'clock position North-East = in between 1 & 2 o'clock position Directly East = 3 o'clock position South-East = in between 4 & 5 o'clock position

protos saw it coming, scouted it. im cvonfused why he didnt just move 1 probe to block the cc from landing...

I believe the guy in the second game think you win if you destroy the Nexus/CC/Hatch from your enemy XD

as a terran player the first game was so painfull to me especially the lost of the second battlecruiser

that rogue sound in wow and the creeper "TSsssss" from minecraft. 2 of the most fear inducing sounds in any video game.

14:21 OH MY GOD THAT ROGUE STEALTH SOUND triggered my anxiety lol

Loving the regular viewer games, just remember, if it's painful for you to watch or makes you mad from very bad players, that's what makes it good. GLHF

HEY, THATS ME, IM ULTIMATE END!!!! I REMEMBER THIS GAME! Thank you @Lowko :D

Some of the best SC2 content on YT right here.

Those 2 players in the second game are very learn resistant.

how come none of my gold league opponents don't go proxy nexus into mass stalker without blink...

Wooooo! Viewer submitted games driving lowko nuts are the best!

Thanks for a beautiful cast!

Ahahahahahahahaah what an amazing video!!! Thank you so much for the fun!!!! :))))

Love the viewer games, they are always so wild.

great cast

Those "stupid pages" were from a very prestiged hunter man! Respect his work

Listen, I am by no means an expert, but these games man... I love that you're casting them but it's like watching a so-bad-it's-good-movie. It gives me hope that I can compete in gold league :D

Ivahn is definitely someone who will not go gently into that good night, he rages against the dying of the light.

Another viewer submitted game casted by the man, the myth, the legend lowko!😁 thank you. Viewer submitted games are fun to watch😀

I can answer the rogue question of 'why' .... the answer is: because rogue.

best Valentine gift ... thank you Lowko

As someone who doesn't ladder, I try never to think that I can play better than these people. But then I see things like loremipsum walking DTs past a bunch of cannons he already knew where there. As a bronzemaster Protoss main I couldn't possibly disrespect the most OP unit by throwing it away like that.

loved your STV - rogue gank reference. My first wow character was a rogue but i never ganked players in STV tho.. despite the temptation. Only when they are trying to kill my quest mob or attacking an ally. :D good times indeed!

LowKo's voice and attitude are seriously likeable.

I would love to see u cast old games. Like stuff in wings of liberty. And have u talked about the old strats vs new.

Love the content

I thought i was the worst SC 2 player in the WORLD. My keyboard skills are bad as an old man. This made me feel amazing!

I'm right there with you on the clock thing Lowko, that hurts the soul a little.

Awesome games!

Lowko Ramsey has returned and is on fire. Just like some of the terran buildings ;D

This is the kind of shit that I live for. Thanks for casting these.

I love your new style of casting viewer submitted replays (especially first one). I would give 10 likes if I could!

19:40 First time in SC history that probes take down an immortal

Awesome!

I actually thought Loren Ipsum might have had the win in that second game, considering his army was so much bigger after that first strike and the Prism wasn't scouted for a while. But sadly, no macro behind, and STV's wall of cannons seems to have made the red protoss indecisive. Then, y'know, there's trying to KILL DA NEXUS all the time...

Second game was definitely a "5min no rush".

"This is completely game over right?" - Lowko, 21 minutes before the game and video end

"I think building armour lets 8 people in, but I've never seen it rushed" Yeah? That's because you never cast the games I send you! And it's 6 :) I used to have a nifty 3 BC with 1/1 and Yamato teleport timing. The best answer was all in counter attack, so 12 marines in 2 bunkers was a good answer for that.

Love some viewer games!

PF rush will always have a special place in my heart

ultimate end with his ultimate well spaced sim city

that second game was . . . painful

What gets me every time is that if they only put 1 probe under their cc it can't land, and he scouted so he had the information xD

Going for the Nexus is a good idea. But you have to kill it. In one engagement, if he went for the eastmost canon first with dark Templars, he would eliminate the only detection from that side, and then he could just kill the Nexus without further losses.

Yes, I do. However I leveled up in different zones then when to Strangle Thorn Vale at level 60 to do quests and would still get killed by rouges. Sometimes I would kill them if; 1 their vanish/sprint was on Cool Down. 2: I had 15%> after their stun lock. 3: my CD were ready. 4: my shaman had their shield on.

I played StarCraft 1 back in like 2000. So, for 22 years I have not played or watched matches. Been loving these videos. Any advice for new players of SC2? Other than getting the game, is there any KZreadrs that give good novice/beginner advice? I'd like to create good habits from the get-go. Thank you

Hey lowko!!! Would you still cast replays from like older maps??

28:27 I knew that what you were gonna say. I may be a complete boomer, but since kids today only know how to tell what time it is from their cellphones, they have zero clue what the actual clock face looks like. It's like that scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, only there it was Sean Connery playing his dad asking "What happens at 11 o'clock?". Not only do I have still got a regular wristwatch, it actually doesn't even have any numbers on it, so I would totall confuse some kids with it.

14:15 yeah some still got ptsd from that, or from elf hunters with cat pets...

Lowko!!! ma boi!

Yeah, my nieces can't read an analog lock either. I was totally shocked.

As a kid we learned sun disks in school because we all had digital watches but they were a new thing back then

Hurray for viewer games!!

the terran had a ballsy move up his sleeves at the beginning but after that he was a very poorly one trick pony...

The young people will appreciate analogue clocks one day. Maybe when they inherit a grandfather clock.

Lowko, what if we were ganking anyone going into BRD? :) best memories!

Crazy IVHAN strat: planetary fortress rush your opponent

Ah, the fusion core dance. Reminds me of Day9...

That second game physically hurt me.

you made the rogue noise and I involuntarily shuddered...

stv reference, let's go!

The intern joke always gets me

Only in PvP where Protoss players were observed to offer the standard GLHF greeting. What a snobby race.

Either of these players would still kick my ass, but this is exactly what I needed today. Thanks Lowko.

I liked hearing Boomer Lowko talk about analog clock positions. Hearing him realize he is now "old" was hilarious.

These Dark Templars weren't born in the base LOL

Sauron lives in an obsidian tower

hahahaha! I love viewer submitted games!

LOWKO!! PLEASE REVIEW ONE OF MY SUBMITTED GAMES! You have my permission to bash it!

This is what gets you into gold nowadays?! I havent played on the ladder for quite some time but this makes me wanna play again lol

Seeing how these people play gives me hope that I can reach higher leagues. I haven’t played in more than a year, but I feel like playing now.

Ooohhh, now i understand what the one i was playing vs yesterday was after..i countered it by having a probe moving under the flying command center and after some seconds it was gg. Bronze rank here btw

A fellow watchguy ! nice and wolcome to the FAM!

Stv was bad but for my server atleast.. Hillsbrad was the big one... Questing there almost always resulted in everyone getting on their main and duking it out between tarren mill and southshore

that red protoss player must have been a League of Legends player, he thinks if you kill the Nexus you win the game.

I ganked STV back in the day lol. I was a warrior though, no sneaky shit for me.

Wish they'd buff neosteel bunkers, it'd be neat if you could get it earlier

Pro sc2 games are good but these viewer games are the real bangers

I'm pretty sure that guy was called Stevie.

The second match just hurts my protoss soul

@lowkotv youre right, STV is a bloodsoaked piece of jungle and yes that sound of stealthing is truly familiar.. every time i hear it some aliance scum dies! :D long live the Ravenhold finest!
