I think flying the CCs towards the resources was a mistake. land the CC a bit away and drop the mules on the resources. even if the mules don't make it to your proxy CC (LoL) and get killed they will deny the resources for the zerg. I'm not a pro SC2 player though, maybe the CCs were just to scout at that point?

Some weird decisions by uThermal in this match. He was doing well at not engaging zergs super slow army. The switch to Thors completley hampered him because he then had to take straight up fights against a better army. Solar had way too much supply caught up in Broodlords. Attacking where they weren't was an easy victory.

Don't worry, Lowko, I got your obscure WC3 reference. Name your poison!

Amazing TVZ!

I have a suggestion. Make the Ultra way bigger in size and give it the ability to walk over ground units and climb cliffs, just like the colossus. It will still get owned by ghosts and immortals but it will be glorious and closer to the lore! Also a bit more useful!! Or make it a "hero" unit, like the Mothership. Wayyy Bigger, better, stronger, but really expensive and can have only 1 in the map.

I can't see them climbing cliffs, but yeah if they weren't bodyblocked by tiny units they'd be a lot better off. If Zerg got a "hero" 1-of-a-kind unit I'd rather see it be the Leviathan.

Nice but painful game to watch as terran, thanks Lowko!

Lowko is god of sc2 streaming💚

Ohhh lowko I am in the train for 3hours and have to wait almost 2h more hours that vidéo is saving my life .....

uThermy heard LowkoTV calling him "basically Maru". Proudly proceeding to build scans for days. 5 seconds of zero micro later... Me: Yep, the castor's curse struck again.

capturing those extra bases on this map is so critical. I wonder if instead of saving/sitting on all those extra scans, if uthermal just mass mule dropped mineral patches and let them long distance mine for 1-2 trips on those bases he cleared would have been enough to starve out solar.

Hey Lowko! do you consider trying SC2 reverse campaigns or Protoss-zerg-editions??

This is unexpected… I’m curious if they can do a zvz specific version of fastest map ever with full creep coverage already.

I think Ultralisk can have small buff. Give them the skill of Aberrations in campagn or coop mission with Zagara for give him the abiliti to not be block by the small alienated unit

Another case of Zerg needing Shiva 8 hands spellcaster gymnastics to win a late game.

General question: why are not banshees used in tvz or tvp? I can't remember when it was the last time I saw them

@xitaris5981

2 жыл бұрын

If I recall correctly, Lowko has said something along the lines of: The banshees are only effective in specific situations, which is why they were only used for early harrass for a while. But now the investment and timing is mediocre and pros know how to defend against it, so other openers are faster/cheaper and transition to the mid-game better. So, they aren't trash, it's just that they aren't optimal.

The reason they go 6 zerglinge is because with 4 you usually have to sack 1 before the queen pops. With 6 you can micro so you lose 0

1:45 @Lowko if it's easier for you to remember horizontal/vertical, I just thought of something: think of the "horizon", what kind of line does it have? Sorry if it doesn't make sense, I'm also not a native English speaker.

I wasn't ready for 'professional game of StarCraft II' after reading the title :v

Hey Lowko, I just wanted to say I redownloaded SC2 because of you. I have tried to get into it a lot of times, but I feel this time I am serious. Currently playing co-op to get accustomed to controls.

As a petty Toss player, I love this strat. However, from my experience, doing this with Phoenix's and Voids is a rather risky gamble and a fairly small window to do make it critical. If you do this too early, Zerg is so imba and broken that because the faction is designed to eat up tier 1 unit costs, a quick swarm or a Ovie transfer will counter any ground army I have amassed at that point. If I do this too late, it's almost a waste and any sort of transition or healthy expand behind it is tough. So much of those costs to defend and counter, just take away the ability to put the continuous pressure. And Zerg can just counter and swarm, move the overlords to a more defendable location for the queens and spores. Remember in the words and proven points of Harstem, a tier 1 Queen pull and hold can stop a BC and Tempest Rush. Which are by default at least tier 2 or tier 3 unit rushes. Sorry for the length, and while I am by no means a starcraft guru or pro, and my macro and micro are not perfect, the Phoenix Gambit is fun and has some potential, but you have to prepare and really think of the cost if or when the Zerg reacts. As for Terran, I would think the Vikings have more potential, but same thing I guess. Just not enough guaranteed damage and critical hits that can keep the Zerg down long enough. Hope you all can prove me wrong and learn from my mistakes! Happy Zerg killing!

I hope Solar never makes Ultras again haha imagine if he had Lurkers.

B-BUTBUT GHOSTS! SNIPES! SO OP! ZERG CAN'T WIN AGAINST IT! IT ARE IMPOSSIBLE!

29:50 Uthermal was out of ideas

Building 20 CCs does not make you Maru, confirmed.

I know free units are a touchy subject with the sc2 community, but what if they changed swarm hosts and broodlords to be more like the carrier where it costs 10 resources per wave or more. Carriers take 10 resources per intercepter so the change should probably be more like 50-100 per wave and it would still be cost effective but not 0 cost units for 3000 resources worth of enemy units. It’s a nerf to broodlords and swarm hosts so any buff they get would be a much easier to swallow change that anyone can understand. Would love to hear anyone else’s thoughts on this matter, I’m a Zerg btw so I’m a bit biased lol

IT IS TIME FOR....

I tried to play against ai(veteran, micromashine, Eris) and it is not possible to win without planetary fortress, aggressive planetary fortress is a key.

Looked like uthermal was kinda worn out in the end there, i feel. Also his control on that terran army was kinda meh. Pretty anticlimatic ending there, sadly.

He was oversaturating by fourteen on a base. He could've took those to make them repair the Thors. Outcome might of been the same but who knows, things happen 🤷🏾‍♂️ Edit: A Thor, planetary push. (shut up don't give them ideas.)

The skill difference between Mark and 99.99% of all terrans is ridiculous but the skill difference between someone like Maru and Uthermal is also ridiculous. I thought Thermy made tons of mistakes especially later in the game that Maru just simply wouldnt have made like building way too many command centers or literally thousands of minerals into spore crawlers and corrupters

Hii

Still don’t like the unbalance of Zerg. The creep alone is OP.. gives constant visual, won’t allow building of enemy structures, and then buffs the zerg creatures. Then there’s ability to gain huge army too early on plus it’s so cheap to build structures, without the need for add-ons to those structures.

Solar playing really defensive and conservative with his army this game. This is not a side of Solar I’m used to seeing.

The greatest country in the world is Canada? I dunno I live here and think it's pretty ok.

The heck?

They should really fix the ultras, when you compare it to "capital units" like BC and Carrier/Tempest.. The ultra is just not it for the bucks. It should be the "ultra" ground unit.. but instead its obstacle in your own army. Give ultra 1 range or smth so it can slash when zerglings are infront of it or smth. Or make walk over zerglings like colossus. Its sad to see ultra in SC2 compared to SC1

Parasitic fortress

More Zerg wins ☹️

Hi nice commentary as usual bit this game seemed quite stretched out and ended very anticlimactic.

From my point of view, guy who played starcraft for maybe 5 hours, but really enjoy watching it. Zerg seems to be really strong, but also very hard to play. The amount of almost free units he can make is amazing, and has many ways to kill most precious units of his opponents. But as you 've told many times playing zerg also requires 3 at least 3 hands and fast fingers.

Nukes are a total waste. I think they should either remove it from the game or buff it in some way. Also, nerf Vipers!

Kind of a weak game. Solar has this huge army of broodlords and sits back on his side of the map for half of the game instead of engaging. UThermal certainly could do more drops in the main. Maybe long day, not in the mood for multitask?

Day 101 of asking lowko to play Emperor battle for Dune

another example why ultras are trash....they reall need a charge upgrade bor something...they just derp around too much

Geez man, every game is on Blackburn lately, change the channel NERDS!

Lowko you are wrong the Terran player didn't took a bad engaement the Zerg player has an illegal unit called the broodlord with free units (which should be banned !!!) Called broodlings. Also Thors are way too slow in this fast pace game called SC2 !! Goliaths with AOE upgrades and Raven with the healing disk ability with firebats protecting from baneling would have hold counting that ghost would have their double snipe ability and not that cooldown thing (even 1 or 2 seconds is too slow!!) Doing their job to kill the infestors.
