😂😂😂 😢

[@crimsonlanceman7882]

10:46 you can see that part of the reason it didn't work, was cause maxpax cancelled their zealot warp by accident.

[@KSmifune]

Dark templar are more effective harasser than zealots

[@theorochocz6735]

Lowko, you need to cover the recent zerg cheeses that Uthermal have been doing, ask him for like 3 or 4 of the best games and cover in a video, they've been WILD

[@redhotlead242]

Great video lowko, every day you make me hop on the ladder for at least a few games

The terrans benefit tremendously in terms of resources. Thanks to MULE, I spend less resources on SCV and only have 1 type of mechanic shield-up, so there is a lot of resource benefit The scanning range is also very wide. Blizzard have to block the Battle Cruiser for 5 seconds from using the Yamato Cannon and Tactical Jump LIBERATOR & Ghost Sniper so OOOOOOPPPPPP. On the other hand, Protoss & Zerg need to invest more in ground and air defense upgrades respectively Even Zerg & Protoss' defense towers cannot recover resources, but Terran has another resource benefit with the bunker recovery function In terms of resources, Protoss & Zerg are at a huge disadvantage overall The zerg is still garbage INFESTOR skill Deleted but Ghost skill always non Deleted!!!!WTH! Zerg units are expensive to upgrade and take a long time to complete The tech building is also expensive, but you have to invest 50 more minerals called drones there and pay 50 minerals again to produce the lost drone Are the zerg a cheap tribe? Fukshieeeeet. Zerg most expensive and inefficient tribe Zerg adds minerals and gas when transforming units No race is more expensive than the Zerg One last thing on my mind. Terran Cyclone & Battle Cruiser can auto-attack Protoss Phoenix & Carrier can auto-attack Zerg have no such units Blizzard needs to patch these issues quickly nonono, please delete the zerg SC2 only requires Terran and Protoss Blizzard Always just trash balance thank you so much!

When cure is not cheesing he’s so freaking good in his micro and smart in multitasking

[@daikatarokamegawa542]

Protoss: with a purification nova, if I aim it correctly, distract you and don't blow up my own army in the process I can take out several units at once! Terran: E, 50% the hp of your army is gone.

[@night4345]

Protoss: Once I have Disruptors you'll never be able to engage with a ground army again. Even if I come towards you I'll pick off at least 3 units for free with every purification nova.

[@daikatarokamegawa542]

@@night4345 Counterplay to disruptors: abduct or interference the unit. Destroy the unit. Force Protoss to pickup the unit. Kite out of the range of the very visible glowing orange ball. Once Nova is on cooldown, the unit is essentially dead weight. Counterplay to the less than 1s travel time EMP: preemptively split. Don't have energy or shields. Once EMP lands the unit can still do a ton of other things.

[@polca4love]

Emp should be nerfed in some way, by either making it do just a fixed amount of damage to shields or given to the raven. Disruptors should be either completely revamped or outright changed for another unit, because they make every match involving protoss a pain in the ass to watch. I'm all for foreplay, but disruptors take it to the extreme.

34:20 massive widow hit (natural mineral line)

[@hydraulichydra8363]

9 maps. Nice, now we can have 7 that are Terran favored.

[@Spartsou]

Yes, thanks Lowko! 9 maps?! maybe we'll get more Bo9 series :D

I cannot remember any protoss winning any game against Terran post mid-late game in months..

[@YuriLychacz]

its sad

[@crimsonlanceman7882]

i feel like it's just maxpax... Every time I watch them play, their micro just seems way behind their opponent... I hope they get better, cause I really like protoss in this game...

[@TritonTv69420]

Thanks for casting another. I cracked a bone in my arm the other day. I can't play right now. 😔

[@michaelavakian13]

Idk how lowko missed archon attacking its own gateway when hes sitting w cam right on it. Lol at it and the missed observation

[@velocirapper]

Seen max going for a lot of archons lately in PvT later in the game. Seems like a mistake against ghosts no? They all just evaporated in that fight at 16.45

[@martingregor2225]

Great video! ❤Pity we didn't get to see the units lost tab and the income graph near the end of game 2. They can beautifully illustrate how good Maxpax is with that opener. Perhaps next time? 😇

Terran OP.

[@stephaniebarrington8821]

If you never cast a Terran game again we wouldn’t be missing out.

Poor Black Lotus maker :(

[@EuroG100]

Colossus needs plus 2 damage and −1 from their bonus to light

[@ironmonkey1512]

MaxPax biggest mistake was playing Protoss

[@kentekeroth]

Terran is owerpowered once in the late game, against both Protoss and Zerg. This needs nerfing: - Medivacs - Ghosts - and perhaps other Protoss needs: - Something to ive them more long rane splash damage

[@frankwhite2072]

Cure really cut him down.

[@kcStranger]

lowko - Love your casts, watched the whole thing, very enjoyable. But PvT is just depressing right now. Personally, I'd prefer to see other matchups until the next patch.

switch to Protoss, you can do strange builds like colossus drop rush and annoy Terrans

This is the patch to learn Terran if you want to win.

Widow mines are ridiculous. Astonishing they've gone by this whole time without range nerfs. Annoying to even watch. They should cost 1 more supply and have at least .5-1 less range than the average ranged unit so you can shoot them with vision. They cost nothing, are invisible, do back to back aoe explosions, can be made two at a time, and cant be fought 1v1 with the average range unit even with site you just have to sacrifice something first to fight it so it requires a bunch of apm to even defuse. Just dumb all round and thoroughly abused in lower leagues. Cant even A-move fight them WITH vision with standard army comps because they have same range as rine or roach. Take some range off, it wont effect mine drops in mineral lines but they wont be so apm intensive to fight.

[@huygianguyen3448]

Nerfing widow mines would definitely makes zerg unstoppable, the problem is zerg and terran are relatively balanced right now, its just protoss might need some buffs

[@seppwurzel8212]

Game 2 maxpax plays just ridiculously bad in his final attack. He has like what, 25 stalkers and does not blink on the 6 or so marauders. In the end cure kills like 15 stalkers 1 by 1, because maxpax just decides to do weird blink macro. Maxpax could have decided this battle much faster. This is an issue that can seen in high level games very often. Some dudes killing like an armory or a forge, or microing 20 zealots/lings endlessly through the enemy base, while 5 marines/roaches/adepts just pick them off 1 by 1.

[@knivesoutcatchdamouse2137]

You seriously don't know what you're talking about. MaxPax would make you his bitch. He is one of the 10 best players in the world right now. Protoss isn't balanced for shit at the top of the pro level. It's so easy to sit there and act like his micro was bad (when it was actually insane) but you completely neglect that he's microing on two fronts AND macroing back at home at the same time. Try actually comprehending the difficulty of what he pulled off in game two because the number of other players in the world that can pull it off can probably be counted on just two hands.
