WE NEED A LOWKO VS AVILO MATCH SOOOOOO BAD!

Can we get more classroom videos? Where you take a short match and explain what the timing of a building or upgrade means, or what would counter your opponents army?

Messed up Phoenix timing in the first Game, all in - headsmash to the desk wich was your air defense... obvious play in the second game but yeah... you were to blame... Lowko the fact you AGAIN explained why you didn't have to cheat but made it clear how you knew... you... you're just a saint. ...can i hug you :'>

Man, sometimes I wish that my opponents were high enough level that seeing the warp-gate timing could give me that much info. In silver, it probably just means they took their gas late (or they momentarily forgot warp-gate existed, lol). Of course, silver Protoss have there own meta that is pretty easy to read: It's void rays. Whatever you scout, it doesn't matter, they're going void rays. Now how they get there varies. Early game could be cannon rush, or 2-base turtle, or gateway aggression. But as long as you survive to the mid-game, it's going to be mass void rays. That is the only strategy they have.

Good title, looks promising. Thanks for the great content, man!

Love this content. Enjoyable both from the side of better enjoying this game, but also to understand how pros can anticipate as much as they do based on such minimal scouting.

That was awesome. Nice video , Lowko. Super interesting to get a glimpse of the high-level thought process.

This is a really clear guide! You should probably pin this on your channel's homepage until the next meta shift in protoss openings.

That is very interesting. It's amazing how much attention and knowledge goes into high level games.

Love lecture style videos like this. I learned so much. Thanks for the great content!

I like that you use your own build order! Not like others that they release a build order, And then end up using another one.

LOL i love the transition to the classroom / lecture room lol

Lowko, blizzard should give you a SC PHD

He left w/ claim "you didn't scout" lol he will feel stupid when he sees this vid. THIS WILL BE ON THE TEST... haha well done! really enjoy the tutorial style of play,,, great job Master Lowko.

I love this so much, its so fun to watch and its helpful! :D

hey man, i suck at starcraft like badly but i cant stop watching ur videos cos ur funny af keep up the good work

I haven't been playing SC for a while and I have never been in masters. And still while watching Lowko's pov it is really obvious at some level what this guy is doing.

Thanks Lowko this video helps a lot with scouting. As soon as I saw no gasses on that natural, I knew it was a zealot all in. :D

Loved the break down of why this was not a blind counter. I feel like I'm getting lectured by my friend back when we would play 2v2. He knew all the possibilities just by minor scouting (usually using my lings).

lol I love the lecture hall switch!

ILOVE UR VIDS MAN. ALSO DO MOR COOP MUTATIONS PLZ

*Thank* *you* *Lowko,* *very* *cool*

Nice lecture hall!

Great breakdown, thanks.

The majority of Starcraft content creators piss me off.. they have this arrogant nature about themselves. But you are a very humble, likeable guy Lowko, I've been loving your videos since WoL and I hope you continue to make more informative and educational content. Scouting for me is a particularly useful topic, as a struggling Zerg

Awesome battle-tutorial Lowko! Just wondering. Do you run a stop clock do keep track of the timing? Or relying on sort of internal bio clock.

Man, you’re a really good teacher!

Nice video, I guess most of the players (Bronze - Diamond) scout only to check if their opponent is still in the game, but being able to read what his strategy is or at least crossing out some is very important and may very well win you the game

Is it just me or has it been a while since I've seen Lowko do a serious/teaching game of his own? My last memory that comes to the top of my head of Lowko doing something like this was when it was toward the end of SC2:HotS and during the earlier days of SC2:LotV. Either way, it's neat to see something like this from Lowko again.

Humble as always

very nice video!

hey Lowko Today you upload early

Awesome video, so informative. Only problem is, I'm in silver league so I scout and see something like a delayed warp gate research and think "well, he's probably just bad".

nicely explained

YASSSS MORE VIDS OF YOU PLAYING THX

4th! You go, bro! was missin' ya videos today!

Map hacking makes you into a much weaker player when compared to honest skilled players. You lose your 6th sense that Lowko was teaching us about in this video that can only be developed through time and continued practice. I'd rather assume my opponent was just more skilled in that specific match and there was something to learn from it then automatically accusing them of cheating to make myself feel better after losing. You learn nothing that way. I picked up this mentality way back in the beginning years of Broodwar. It has served me well in all my competitive game play over the years.

I love Neuro and Winter photos in classroom 😁

You are a natural teacher

The usual timing for optimal 2 base DTs with a warp prism is 4:45 - at this time 4 DTs finish warping in a prism and attack.

this is actually the first time in a while i've seen a youtube video of a part of a twitch stream i actually watched. 🤔

So sick all those deductions

Please make an Scouting guide for all matches pleeeeeeease!

I like ur classroom teacher Lowko

Everyone is impressed that professional chess players can predict their opponents entire game - but compared to that THIS is the real galaxy brain

Wow lowko is better at this game than i thought...cool.

The software you used to make this video is so cool, what is it?

In the second game, he still can crack lowko, if he moved his Prism inside main and warped there and kill lot of workers there or kill his third in mean time ... He can pull workers out of gas, to have minerals for extra gates and big zealot warp ins ...

Lowko, it's simple. You were hacking.

lowko's lecture hall!

It's not always about what you see. What you don't see is just as important if not more so.

Does map hacking exist in StarCraft, please tell me it isn't so? Lowko you did an excellent job, I can understand why beginners might think you have "hacked" knowledge, they just don't get the detail that can be gleaned... I play a lot of 4v4 and the lack of scouting usually causes an unstoppable carrier fleet!

Protoss are so by the books in terms of put this here this must be made now and so on and so forth that minimal information is all that is needed in most cases. Ofcorse there are exceptions but they are just that exceptions. This being said its not a bad thing just how they are played is all and understanding this will make you a better player on both sides just like Loki X3

its the same thing for zerg and terran really.. like gases taken, timing of lair, timing of expensions... or 1-1-1, #barracks, stim, cloak, gases taken etc. If you get to the level where people play efficiently, this is what happens.

Amazing...

One thing i've been experiencing a lot lately is pylon/gateway in the protoss main while still taking a natural. Haven't had a chance to see and analyze why they'd choose to do that cause it makes you weaker against ling all ins. Any protoss here who would have ideas why that's a strategy to use against a zerg?

Basic Protoss logic.

why do you get double gas In your natural rather than building the final extractor at your main? I see this a lot

Any summarized zerg tips? I started playing 4 months ago and somehow got to Platinum and I got my ass kicked a lot of times.

I would recommend you go into a solo match as protoss and just take a good look at the cybernetics core. Start researching warpgate or +1 upgrades and cancel them pay attention to how the animations on the structure changes. If you have difficulty with any other building in the game do the same thing for that make a unit or research an upgrade from it and look at the animation changes.

Flash backs of Battle for Auir

every time i play for some reason i prefer playing blind rather than scouting LOL

One dislike from salty toss player.

what's that "GRAVE" button?

What league was this? Master's? I'm guessing that the opponent only perfected certain build orders down to the exact timing and never worked on his game senses or his micro. That was clear in the first game where he basically gave away his two Oracles and never bothered to save them for map control, scouting, harassment, etc.

Love too see protoss salty
