Damn those last 10 minutes were just a constant back and forth of "there's no way this game isn't over" and "Am I about to watch the biggest throw possible".

[@IcariumGaming]

That final nuke, was because the ghost academy was being killed. He would rather use it then lose it.

[@Pedalbored]

I’m a simple man. I see nukes and I click.

[@sethstriker]

Same lol

[@vonrheinland4924]

Just nuke the entire site from orbit, it is the only way to be sure

[@liveinamber1307]

10:40 "SCVs killing their natural enemy, like a mouse eating a snake." I guess you've never heard of the infamous grasshoper mouse a known snake killer. The mouse howls before biting through the snakes spine. Wolf OS running on mouse hardware!

[@hisazul]

Poor Spirit definitely got tunnel visioned over those minerals.

[@tbird81]

He's just not a great player

[@tehli6726]

​@@tbird81 Facts what was that lol

[@noahgelman4923]

When a nuke is fired, a green nuke icon shows up on the left side of the screen. Inside the icon is a number. That is how many nukes have been fired.

[@LowkoTV]

It's usually not 100% accurate it seems. It resets for example when you back up in the replay.

[@tacochaos5127]

Number of active nukes?

[@thomasburton7227]

@@LowkoTVI think the counter is independent for each ghost academy. So if more than one academy is built they keep separate counters.

[@NickCombs]

He's a little confused at the end, but he's got the... nevermind.

[@graddeos]

Spirit completely lost his focus in the last 15-20 minutes. He saw the minerals a million times, he just thought he didnt need them, but the moment that SCV drained his bank while repairing, any player that isnt in panic and desperation would immediately think to check around for any leftover minerals to mine and Spirit didnt.

[@zmoonlord21z5]

these help me so much with my own gameplay

[@jacobrollins37]

Those Terran workers looked like they were on strike the last few minutes. Lol

I heard this and had to go scrolling for the comment

It's around 11 pm for me right now, these videos are such a good bedtime story, and they are really good. I also learn a lot from these videos, that's why I defeat cheesers most of the times.

[@aikiseppuku]

When Protoss builds carriers after mining out, I always assume they lose because they will run out of minerals pretty fast and then have useless carriers.

[@Wilson24678]

Hey Lowko, I'm just about to sleep...

I always put on Lowko's videos before sleeping, its a great way to make my mind calm

Thanks for the video, Lowko. Always nuking it with the content. ♥

"The first thing a blind man will throw away is the stick that has helped him all his life" Astrea probs last words

[@BarringtonDrive]

The CITO score... it makes so much sense XD

[@heroesgameuploads568]

The game tells you how many nukes have been fired every time one is called down.

They start at 18:52

"From the beautiful country of europe " Ah, I see, a fellow VOLT voter!

[@cjjuszczak]

ooof! that last 10 minutes, or so, was painful to watch Spirit choke :(

[@SimplyDingo]

I was amazed about such a long game... And then you revealed that it was spirit... Then everything made sense 😂

[@juliancarreno1244]

Tunnel vision got real

[@ericschneider8565]

Bro ur the goat

[@PeckiePeck]

You should have actually titled the video, "You Won't Believe How Many Nukes!"

[@kosmosXcannon]

The vikings didn't seem to get much work done due to the amazing zoning from Astrea.

[@MarlotteTR]

are you telling me that LSB (Lowko's Selective Blindness) is contagious???

[@geoffreyrichardson8738]

I’m exhausted

[@artpkaful]

So at 12 years old they decide your future? Based on a test? Wow. So you had that score and now you're a caster? That makes you a role model.

[@user-pq3uz2zb9i]

[@ItsMorgrem]

good to know spirit is from Little European Texas

[@j.m.b.7449]

Nice Cito score, all none dutch people confused gheheh

AAAAH SPIRIT MINE THE BLOODY GOLDEN MINERAAAAALS

[@nguyenthuongthuong]

astrea seem really good there lmao

I like the classic Lowko opening, but I'm getting quite partial to "Gamers."

[@jommsnow]

The spoiler shield guy should stop lowko from spoiling the game.

[@loli141]

"a Spirit's best of 3 can take at least an hour" Those are rookie numbers, an hour is the average gold league hero ladder game

Lowko I will be very upset if there is no Solar moment.

[@Z7Sakari]

I’m convinced you keep calling continents like Europe “countries” just to trigger people and it makes me laugh every time 😂♥️♥️♥️ Please never stop 😋

[@MrSockfoot]

Why the heck didn't Spirit finish mining all those minerals?

[@AlejandroGonzalez-ej4lp]

He lost the spirit...

[@nobleman9393]

Tunnel vision.

[@Aabergm]

Dont worry about mentioning length, we se it we when we click the video.

[@AlejandroGonzalez-ej4lp]

Those last 15 minutes were painful to watch.

[@hoboeater6947]

Lol in the MJ video he bought everything he pointed at (items of 100-150k a piece on deals for like four) in his favorite store in i think L.A. or new york or something and even corrected his salesman at one point for mentioning he couldnt buy anything with a “sold” sign, to which he replied anything with a “sold” sign meant it was his. Hardest flex ever compared to like those celebrities buying shoes nd stuff. Lowko im requesting again plz coach me ur the best sc2 broadcaster on youtube

Never let 'em know your next move

[@ethanaleman]

Hello Lowko

[@Spartsou]

nukes?! glad I've got my root beer I think, mentioning how long the match is, is redundant, considering we can see how long the video is, well, if it's not a series lol 11:05 ah, yes Templar with EMP....or should we say Ghost with Feedback? lol 24:53 did they finally change it so the Tempest's extra damage will be applied to structures?! 26:04 THEY DID! I did not realize that. for years Techtronic destabilizers's golden ball would seem to also effect ground units, and it drove me insane that Lowko was missing it, and was describing the ability wrong--from my perspective at least, but now it seems that it only effects structures--even flying structures, which was added into the game....a couple patches ago.

[@ShungaBunga42069]

In America we have SBAC tests, which might be the equivalent to your Cito (idk if it's an acronym). I think the score went up to... 1600?

[@adamhubbert8896]

Cito? Wasn't that the name of the Tarzan character on Nukaworld?

[@wisteriatunnel3430]

Game of the year right here

[@qijunleo104]

Why did spirit never get vehicle armor 3

[@andreyfrantov1]

Sorry, Lowko, but usually I can't click the Like button when you ask for it. That is because usually it's already clicked by that time.

[@juztina7346]

protoss can just attack move

[@pop5678eye]

Aren't nukes without a follow-up just wasted?

[@ssj3neo]

Europe = country, (Lowko 2024)

[@mysteryblankdspace4342]

Make Tempest a.o.e. and MAYBE they will be good against late game terran...

[@huntersorce20]

wonder why spirit never gets +3 vehicle armor?

Tunnel vision in the end I think

I don't understand wtf astraea is doing. He kills his probes but builds no army xD did he forgot to get more army? 😅 or is this a super 600iq pro play to get 30 supply but getting nothing xD. Like reinforcement wise having some supple free would make sense but ... idk doesnt seem the case
