Bring Snacks. This Match between Cure and Classic is AWESOME! (StarCraft 2)

[@josemaurogomezrodriguez571]

Thanks to Lowko I can enjoy about 365 games of the year per year

[@ShazbotDesign]

366 on leap years.

[@Kevin-hq5ne]

Agreed.

Lmao love it

[@TheMightyNaryar]

This is only the seventh one so far ?

Wow what an incredible game. It cannot be understated how well Classic defended those constant mine drops. Then the perfect spot and defense at 17:54 is amazing.

[@NXValiant]

That moment was absolutely thrilling, yes!

[@christianherbst674]

Hi Lowko. Why don't you make a special cast in december and present all "game of the year" videos for the audience to vote?

[@josemaurogomezrodriguez571]

This is a good idea. Game of the Games of the year

[@NyanGeneral]

The games from january would never win, whereas december games would be much more likely to. Hes probably better off just picking one himself.

[@mattkuschel185]

I second this thought. Games of the "Year" are actually games of the month. Then the final GAME OF THE YEAR is determined in December.

[@RuskiTraktor]

Both of them, going down to 4 scv vs 4 probes at 22:19 is instane. What a great match!

[@JamesDevlin100]

Cure is on fire lately. Funny how both players - Cure and Classic - did not qualified directly for the world championship at Katowice only 6 month ago (!!) but now both (especially cure) are looking like top 5 material! (to be clear, both made it to the round of 36 event at Katowice and from there to the main event).

[@N0noy1989]

Cure is like Zest. He can go absolute beast mode, or absolute trash mode. Inconsistency is his huge issue. I think his peak is a bit higher than peak Maru, but Cure's lows are deep gutter trash. Classic is the surprising one. He hasn't really shined in years.

[@Daniel-Star]

Classic threw hard by abandoning the last nexus. He knew he was up against a much faster army with much higher building kill potential and could have easily guessed his opponent was out or low on command centers.

[@Thingymabob1000]

Lowko should do a review of any game labeled "Game of the Year" at year's end and crown the true winner of that category.

[@Cell8230]

This was the match I wanted you to cast, nice!

[@TrixterTheFemboy]

Lowko this is the seventh week in a row you've brought game of the year to class

[@HTSHereToStay]

I think Cure is researching the armor because he is making a lot of maroders

[@krzysztofkalinowski2998]

I was thinking, I see another "Game of the Year" on channel, so at this point Lowko should create playlist with Games Of The Year. And he did! Found It. Thanks Lowko

[@wyburp7970]

During this game i was like : wow, cute play. Oh. ballsy counter, its actually working. Welp, nvm he sneaked around. Ooooh really?. Damn this is close. Nice recover. Welp nevermind he is gonna win. Welp never min he is gonna lose. Welp its over. Or is it? ... REALLY? REALLY?. welp nevermind. oooooor? Great game. a true lowko game of the year.

[@pb01]

WHAT A MATCH! ❤

[@HaploBartow]

Man, that was a little frustrating to watch at 20:00. If Classic had sacrificed his army there he probably could have taken out the last CC, and Cure wouldn't have had any minerals to build a new one.. or at least he could've killed all the rest of the SCVs. I think he could have re-spawned enough units to defend against whatever remained of Cure's army afterward by the time Cure's army could have made it back across the map somewhere. That could've been game over for Cure right there... 38 minerals isn't enough for even a single marine.

[@YaYxster]

Nice entertaining cast! Thanks!

[@NeoN-PeoN]

I know micro is very difficult. But why do the Terran players seem to NEVER manually target their siege tanks? So much collateral damage is done by siege tanks shooting zealots, and it's so sad to see when there's a clump of stalkers ripe for the shelling.

[@ABS0LU7Egaming]

Am I the only one that thinks the fact that a Terran can wait a full 6 minutes to take their natural and still have an equal supply with a 3 base opponent is dumb? How is it that you can keep a contain for that long and not be well ahead of the enemy?

[@Blindsaplol]

Approoved game of the year sir lowko . That was amazing I really didnt think this was possible to end like this, I would have gg out but this guy fought untill the end .

[@vitortorquato1303]

I came in the air and in the breeze of the wind I became a grain of sand at the bottom of the ocean.

[@1987retroman]

This game just highlights all the persistent problems with Terran for me. MULES are just too stupid. Base races always go Terran because they can free map-wide vision and free mining.

[@knivesoutcatchdamouse2137]

They can fly their bases or turn them into powerful static defense, they can repair them, they can get free eco boost for no supply cost AND have instant map vision anywhere. Zerg gets near total map vision that makes its already fast army even more maneuverable and, in return, Protoss caaannn... warp in overcosted Gateway units, get out a Probe 50% quicker every once in a while (as long as they don't want to be able to recall to defend their base from a drop, since God knows their army won't get back in time to save it otherwise) and have to rely on low HP structures to power all of their buildings. Seems fair! /s

[@pocpic]

Ah, the monthly game of the year. Right on time.

[@yosefshemesh5246]

not being in position to protect his last nexus was the nail in the coffin. I think classic could've won if he defended it

[@josephmcallister2719]

I think the armor upgrade is for the marauders. Since Marines and marauders are basically opposites

[@superhawk6403]

Lowko I have been curious, why do Protoss players proxy a gateway when they already have warp gate researched? Since it can warp in anywhere there is a power field why not just make the gateway in the main base instead?

[@aeku_69420]

bc units warp faster in super power fields (i.e either next to nexus or gateway)

[@superhawk6403]

@@aeku_69420 oh I didn’t realize that gateways did that too, thank you

[@tenesenka]

​@@superhawk6403it was changed in early LotV so a lot of people missed it. It use to be 5 secs in any power field before then, now it's 5 near a gateway or nexus and 16 otherwise

[@StaK_1980]

The disruptor feels to me like some really expensive minigame of bowling, built into SC2. Instead of messing with the mommaship and the Cyclops, they really should rethink that bowling minigame.

[@AndrejD303]

yeah the bowling minigame is only thing that keeps protoss in game

[@tenesenka]

Sc2 is full of bad unit designs. Queens, ghosts, disruptors, widow mines, mothership

[@vallendrael]

19:33 "That's a Cure Classic." Haha, Lowko, you're so funny, I'm gonna click the like-button! xD On another note, I suggest you do an "inverted" cast. :3 (As an April's fools joke or something.) Where you take your key phrases and say the opposite when it's appropriate. For example: Instead of saying "That's nothing to write home about." commenting "That's something he will write home about." when e.g. a micro went really well. "He is crossing his teeth* and dotting his eyes*." devolves to "missed rounding his Os and capping his Rs" or something. XD "He's smelling blood in the water." -> "He's smelling water in the blood." when his opponent's attack is weaker than it seemed. "Creating as much chaos as possible." -> "Sorting as much out as possible." for beautiful sim city? * I know it's t-s and i-s, just the first time, I heard it I was like "ok, he's gonna say 'crossing his fingers'." and got really confused how you would cross your teeth. xD

[@WhereIsTheIntruder]

Cure didn't choose the armoe upgrade, it was straight up a mistake. He had two engi bays and for a while had armor 1 done and waited for the armory to finish to begin researching more upgrades. He definitely thougjt he had attack 1 done at that point.

[@danielwing6690]

Way too many risky decisions by classic, could have easily won if he didn't abandon the bottom Nexus.

[@inmanis2924]

i think we can all agree that classic threw at the end w/ the free bottom nexus, but wow can we talk about how busted terran is? classic literally wiped out cure’s entire mineral line, at the cost of his own, and cure just.. pressed the mule button for a free economy? and it cost him nothing? what the actual fuck is that lmao

Classic at 23:40 with a big blunder, chasing an army in a big circle, leaving his army completely out of position to defend his new nexus and the rest of his base. He really, really, should not have done that. No point in hunting an army down when your opponent still has an orbital command and SCVs and you only have one producing nexus and like 5 probes (and no minerals to make another one).

[@mathieugrenier27]

True but he didn't know that there was no mining bases south

Crazy how powerful novas are. If micro is not nearly perfect, they can wipe out entire armies with ease.

Cure didn't prioritize the Infantry Armor upgrade a second time. The first time was a mistake, the second time he had both researching (on separate eBays), so the +2 armor was still finishing after Infantry Weapons finished.

[@akatosh6299]

So Terran with plus 1 weapon and plus 2 armor wins against protoss with plus 3 weapon and plus 2 armor and they had the same amount of army supplies. Terrans are very balanced indeed.

[@simescoun22009]

So unfair for the Protoss, very painful to watch, that Terran just doesn’t spend money makes so little units and still kills everything and never dies, plus the orbital being repaired and lifting up… unfair

[@Kagutsuchi4]

Protoss up one base all game, up +1/+1 on upgrades, still loses to terran army. Disruptors are too gimicky, Colossi only deals bonus damage to Marines, gateway units lose to mass bio, zealot drops don't do nearly as much as Widow mine drops, can't beat terran at range battles, can't beat terran at base race, all air units inferior to terran air units (phoenix/VR/carrier vs Vikings/Battlecruisers), list goes on and on. Protoss needs help.
