Dark is a dad?! And he still hasn't gone for his national service!

[@randomstarscape]

At this point Dark's SC2 success IS his national service!

Thank you!

Thank you for translating again. It's sincerely appreciated. I'm always so curious.

Thank you, this is exactly what I came to the comments to try to find.

[@dreamforgegames4776]

Big mistake not referring to his child's mother as a queen :)

[@bloodydove5718]

Yea calling her a spawning pool is wild lmfao

[@flexoking8047]

no way, he didn´t thought about that. I guess that was on purpose. XD

[@fitcrit]

thinking it might not be so offensive in Korean?

[@jesusbarrera6916]

- all women are queens! - if she breathes, she's a SPAWNING POOL!!!

7:26: That's Ariel Hanson from Wings of Liberty, I like the detail of the lamp above her head blinking.

[@Agent_Chieftain]

7:30 That artwork of the lady putting on the glove is actually of Dr. Ariel Hanson from the Wings of Liberty campaign.

[@proofofpower]

I’m glad someone said something …

[@krispiasek6731]

I love how Dark has two modes, he either makes drones for the first 5 minutes of the game, or he is like "you have two proxy hatcheries in your main, whatcha you gonna do?"

[@BigLeafyTree]

The darkest dungeon reference 😩

[@naunick4407]

Overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.

[@celestrius9197]

That last game was craaaazyyy. When dark built extra hatcheries at the end I was expecting him to do that like 3 minutes earlier due to bank.

[@tbird81]

There's something fishy about byun games, and maybe dark too. As if they're both trying to subtly lose. I wonder if the gambling crews are at it again.

[@HaploBartow]

21:00 I enjoyed island maps in StarCraft 1, but the thing I miss most is probably snow maps, which were added in the SC1 Brood War expansion. I don't think the SC2 editor even supports snow for some reason; I don't recall seeing snow in SC2 ever. 8 year-old me was blown away when I saw a snow map depicted on the box for the Brood War expansion when I got it.

[@christof4105]

there are snow maps in LotV and the Nova DLC

[@HaploBartow]

@@christof4105 Thanks, I have never played Nova. I don't recall them in LotV either; I'll have to go back and look for them.

[@bloodydove5718]

@@christof4105 HotS too i believe

[@christof4105]

@@HaploBartow in Nova DLC you play on a snow map where you got the reaper jump pack and in HotS, not LotV as i recall now, tthere is a mission on an ice planet where you play as Karrigan and have to attack the Protoss during an ice storm that periodically freezes the protoss units. Edit: Also there were ladder maps with the snow theme like Fracture LE

[@hetaresgaming7771]

32:00 Lowko tries to do a Nappa but channels a Babidi instead.

[@martinrossel547]

The problem with watching those Byun games as they go live, there is not yet the korean translation TT

[@Spartsou]

jeez, I love Dark and BuyN! congrats, Ultra Dark! ;D holy cow, that last game was insane!

[@hiddentruth1982]

so many dark dad jokes to be made.

[@youngsix6teen391]

island bases just brought so many memories back xD, i was prob around 12 or 13 years old when i played sc2 and i loved island bases, they were just soooo cool to take

[@theculturedgentleman3699]

I look forward to the Dad Jokes and memes from dark being a dad. He needs to also call his son Dark and then Rank him number 1 in the world

I wish, when I play as Terrans, my fights could be so easy, lol!

[@NovusGM]

Dark is playing some of the most strange SC2 games lately. That game 3 was crazy to watch.

[@jkkim6928]

Lowko enunciating ㅈㅈ as geegee is wholesome

[@martinkaleczinski9481]

The picture of the lady with the gloves is actually an artwork of Dr. Ariel Hansen. Btw, I wonder how many viewers got that really premature calculator joke.

[@yamilabugattas3895]

I honestly did not expect a gg with 15k resources in the bank, an unexpected ending.

[@Mikivericks]

Thanks for the video, Lowko. Still weird to see a 2v2 map used in a 1v1 situation.

[@PashaSlavaUkraine]

No wonder it’s eclipse dark had a child born, makes perfect sense

[@Zslone2]

Lowko I regret to inform you that in 2014 there was a SINGLE map with Island bases in Season 2 of WCS 2014 and it was called "Waystation" . But it looks like it was the only map out of the entire map pool for that season. I did not check Season 1 though.

[@klubchez5224]

That last game was so weird from the Zerg. I hate when they play a long game only to lose.

[@tbird81]

Yeah, at least one of those two are on the take. It's a big problem in Korean gaming.

[@michciop8063]

you got me with this title

[@SageNDaBank]

I haven't seen a zerg win in a minute

I wonder why infestor didn't get toasted at 36:19 by that lib. It was clearly inside lib circle AND inside scan circle.

Terran late game OP as fuck

[@torotomika1911]

I love this map, it speaks to my soul, I only ever won on it. It just feels right.

[@DeMolition2208]

Imagine drones took the quickest path to a hatchery when mining - taking into account nydus networks and auto loading unloading into them

[@sitniky]

now Dark got his own swarm)

[@Doncoa]

So a Roach named Dark mated with a queen and made a zergling... good news indeed

[@thatoneguywhosaysstuff9529]

Isolated Lowko, Isolated

[@FlingyFlongyBouncu]

I REALLY love watching TvZ but it is always Bio Terran and I find it kinda sad that the only thing you really see is marines with medivacs and siege tanks and later ghosts. Some thors or other stuff would be so cool to watch for a change.

[@wyburp7970]

Well, if you go for WORKERS instead of TECH, your cost efficience of fighting will be less efficient, if you cannot overwhelm/surround your opponent and crush their army (map layout, ennemy army composition, general amount of units). From my point of view, zergs struggles until they get their tech units out, from where their opponent has to be more strategic in his move rather than brute forcing his way. Therefore, if you can survive as zerg until your tech is out with the minimal costs, your are on the winning side of the equation, especially since zerg have the mobility advantage.

[@proofofpower]

31:45 I once pumped an elite amount of gas - $5.00 for 1.337 gallons of gas - SOO 1337. I’ll see myself out now …

[@Jojakin]

Just looked it up and it looks like the last 1v1 map with island bases whe had was New Gettysburg LE removed in November 2016

[@StaySmirnov]

@lowkoTV you actually hosted a game with over 10k. It was a rage quit from Scarlet vs Terran? She had over 14 or something k resources and just rq

[@vince24sgo]

any unit dies - Lowko "that was sub-optimal"

[@suljo0183]

Isn't lady with latkes gloves dr. Hanson from SC2 terran campaign

[@348joey]

"Topologically isolated bases"

[@daethalion1725]

My only takeaway here is if your wife allows you to refer to her as a spawning pool and doesn't punish you for it, she's a keeper.

[@xblackenedSunx]

Blizzard really did an amazing job on this game. One of their last great works

[@boartank]

Gz Darkling pog

[@Forgetten55]

Byun kept his worker count at 69 for you for a while but you didnt notice i guess lowko.

[@randomstarscape]

Balance change proposal: If a Zerg player manages to make the map look like Dark did in game three, they automatically get a free Kerrigan spawn and the Terran player gets a single keystone charge.

[@anthonylaine6111]

Félicitations à dark pour avoir acceuillie son premier enfant 😊😊 pleins de bonheur à eux 3.. même si il va pas tarder à faire son service militaire 😢

[@CzedrickCatan]

This feels like a zerg map

[@Raziel1984]

34:50 ... does somebody else think that this stone there looks like a raven?

[@kopfschlog]

Terran OP

[@SimonSays-]

Terran late-game always relies so much on ghosts. I never understood why ghosts have more hp than marines (100 vs 45+10: marines have armored suit while ghosts wear stealthy spandex. Ghosts should be more of a flimsy spellcaster unit and bulk of army should be "real" units.

[@justinv4590]

They should reduce the build time of everything by 1 second across the board. Shake everything up

[@villjess77]

Shall we try Cavern bases? Landlocked bases? Bunker Bases? Anybody else for some terms?

[@Nozdormu1982]

So Dark went 16 pool hatch after acquiring the golden minerals.

[@miragenikita6329]

please honor the creep on game 3 at 11:45 - insane

Crimson Court is very difficult map for Zerg. Very little open space

[@AndrewYakovenko]

12:08 So, two to five reapers, right?

[@bb-ce7qf]

Games with byun... So hot right now.

[@jayurenos]

@lowko i know when the last of us 2 came out you did a stream of that game, are you gonna play ff7 rebirth? It is long but very worth the time.

[@thegoodthebadandtheugly579]

A spawning pool? Not a queen? 🥹

[@Kalahomoboy]

Hello Lowko❤

[@SolusEmsu]

honestly I am surprised that by this point they have not allowed Terran barracks factories and starports to choose to build the addon on the left or right side. It seems like something that would be added as a no-brainer like 13 years ago.

[@shanghigh20]

I love darkest dungeon I never did the Crimson court DLC but everyone always tells me not to freaking do it

[@QuintBlitz]

If you're good at the game, crimson court isn't too bad, but yes, that DLC makes the game at least 30% more difficult, with the blood curse and extra enemies that in a lot of ways are harder than the base game's bosses (you'll hate alligators forever).

[@Silvercruise]

What if they made the old island type expansion bases again but surrounded them with the flying unit blockers but give enough space for a dropship to pass through so terran is no longer favored 😅

[@Ehing113]

I will not tolerate darkest dungeon crimson court slander. That DLC is so much fun

[@josephfield6903]

7:35 I heard that as a sexually greedy game by dark

[@Van.Zhelle]

Lowko, I know that whas bait, but the Crimson court dlc whas amazing so I decided to bait the bait

[@snowdrop9810]

Crimson Court is an amazing map. The best from the new maps. Both exciting & innovative, while not going into the haha fuck you zerg, love you terran route.

[@hadescerberus8322]

Why's the video look so dark? No pun intended lol

[@Krzysztof_B]

[@StrawberryMechX]

As a Pokemon fan I can approve of the "ByuN USED CONFUSION!" joke. Big fan. 100/10, Love your videos. This is how I learn how to play this game lol.

[@HaploBartow]

"Why is there a 2v2 map in the 1v1 map pool?" Because of Dark, no doubt, who will benefit from the chaos this kind of map will allow more than anyone, I think. I'm already looking forward to the first Dark v herO match-up on this match-up. Also, congrats on dad-hood, Dark!

[@203fluffy]
