"One Overlord shouln't hurt"Ah yes, building size Overlord in the middle of not that big of a research facility definitely won't hurt .How about we go right to the Leviathan, Valerian?

[@lorenzoherreros6641]

Victor Yarn actually, overlords are much smaller than hatcheries

[@darkfoxvora3254]

and hatcheries are far bigger than they are in-game

[@lorenzoherreros6641]

MateB30 they are like big houses, yes, but we dont know the size of that research center, maybe is a complex the size of a small town.

[@meeperdudeify]

I think it’s pretty massive, if it takes a bc to assault it

[@navybuddy1047]

Live for the Lowko! Wait...Swarm....I mean Swarm.....

[@jweweiler]

Navybuddy104 Yeah! Swarm for the Lowko!

[@grandace2]

so the subscribers are to swarm Lowko?

[@skylark306]

loco for the swarm!!

[@sergioburgos518]

Lowko for live the swarm yeah! XD

[@blokofwood]

But what if.... Lowko is the Swarm?

[@Jamelinium]

Heart of The Swarm was one of the best Intros I ever seen in my life!

[@thomasschulz8477]

Jamelinium I like the Lotv one more.

[@derfzgrld]

definitely both absolute perfection :)

[@pyrotechnika308]

The LoV intro put a tear in my eye.

[@thomasschulz8477]

Same.

[@yourname6553]

One of the best pieces of art ever made

[@BuGBurnout]

There's an Easter egg if you attack with drones only: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqHKd3iqgsyDj5o And one if you don't click the drone in the beginning and just wait.

[@jolennijoben5705]

Bogdan Gabriel Eyyyy, a zerg worker rush? Never heard of it.

[@bacd-nn2lg]

It's pretty good one.

[@erickchristensen746]

What’s the one where you don’t click the drone?

[@BuGBurnout]

@@erickchristensen746 kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHPOYaCZfd-sq6M

[@rowanstrobel9500]

I've seen both of those.

[@Deadeye7177]

Damn it Lowko! You missed the "drone rush" easter egg... Well, hopefully you wont miss the "literally dont do anything for a minute or two" easter egg on the next mission...

[@ShotgunFiend]

But there was that easter egg ub this mission too!

[@harold2718]

"I'm Jim Raynor, my shoulders are the size of my head"

[@fr88ik]

Remember This Lowko, If you see anything called, A new shiny Car, then break it

[@derfzgrld]

I love that easteregg :)

[@KeViNZP]

Rather early to say that. That specific easter egg comes out way waaay later.

[@fr88ik]

I just love that easter egg that much that I want to be sure I've said it at least once :P

[@KeViNZP]

DeathDragonDK "Hey man, my car! I just payed that one off!"

[@fr88ik]

and then there is the second part of the easter egg that is found in legacy of the void

[@burnie_2041]

Hello Lowko, you mentioned in WOL you will go back and play the alternative mission ex. The choice between tosh and nova. Can you please replay those mission? PS,you make awesome vids.

[@friepima499]

Bernardus de Villiers yes please

[@darthvader4594]

Fact:as a recap to HOTS story,arcturus fleet did came to planet char to capture kerrigan,but hyperion escaped with valerian to umoja protectorate,the very first human government to rise alongside confederacy.

[@NewTypeDilemma01]

StarCraft 2: Flashpoint. That's the book you're referring to.

[@BuGBurnout]

Caught up to you Lowko Did WoL, now I'm in HotS too :) Also the cinematics ... chills: the terran-zerg engagement and the interaction between Sarah and Jim ”I never gave up on you Sarah! Don't you give up on us!” Chills every god damn time.

[@makaramuss]

I wish you used drones... there was an easter egg for playing with drones (wich is easly possible) "drones? you attacking with drones... KERRIGAN THIS IS NOT A GAME" XD

[@mikepliek]

yes its an easter egg when you send drones just outside where you find the security bots, this also works with just 1

[@cps31152]

"call off your.... drones? you're attacking with drones?"

[@AstrumG2V]

"It never is with the Zerg", just Kerrigan being a sassy baller xD

[@HorribleRex]

I just love the cutscenes!!! so epic and the realization of the unit size if they were real is amazing.

[@NickMaovich]

Tricia Helfer (voice actor of Kerrigan) is da true MVP. So very well done, so wide range of emotions that we do not even notice it.

[@3psilon.]

“I’m the man that’s gonna kill you someday!” -James Raynor, Brood Wars

[@TheCarapace]

Huge fan of your commentary skills, lowko! Thank you for doing the campaign playthrough!

[@PeterBressau]

The Brood War Zerg Music is starting, the Headline is saying "SC2 HotS" It's lowko... - Hell yes - this is gonna be a good start into the Night! Hail lowko! you are awesome - watched the whole playthrew of WoL and i'm totaly hyped for your next Playthrew. but please don't sacrifice so many Lings to the Bloodgod! :D

[@psorek139]

Playthrough, unless he was throwing something ;) I've been waiting for this one too though!

[@PeterBressau]

psorek139 thanks man - german here. I still got some struggles with this language :D

[@karolsloboda3371]

Lowko you schould try win this game win with drones you get funny Valerian reactions

[@1993rnicholson]

Damn i wish i had a computer at the moment i really want to do this!

[@daburgerbandit1598]

You should go back and replay the missions you missed in WoL. The alternate Colonists mission, helping Nova instead of Tosh, and the air platform for the final battle. Like if you agree.

[@friepima499]

Megtheridon thank you sir

[@csontiMEGAhimihumi]

I like that he says @2:45 - "So this campaign begins right where the Wings of Liberty campaign ended." While actually there is a whole book about the events between the two campaigns. A worthwile read.

[@destructoidbot6426]

Looks at recommended vids , Sees lowko and heart if the swarm Spams mouse on video until it breaks Can’t watch vid because mouse is broken Can no longer smile

[@maxtoor5189]

lowko thank you for the starcraft 2 campaing I have been enjoying it so much plz continue to the end

[@KJ0802]

no matter how many times I watched that opening cinematic it will never not be amazingly badass.

[@SatyaVenugopal]

Awesome way to start a Sunday morning! Thanks Lowko!! :D (Also, could you pleeeease do the Nova, Hanson, and Shatter the Sky mission options which you missed from Wings of Liberty?)

[@WhatopiaHololiveClipper]

You always the best Lowko hope you come back soon xD

[@SKy_the_Thunder]

"I never gave up on you, Sarah! Don't you give up on us!" *4 years earlier:* "I'm the man who's gonna kill you some day!"

[@crismonBlue]

Tipp for the Future : The second you can choose planets/missions, go with Char first, gives you more ... things to talk too between missions. Besided that Baneling + Splitter Strain with Kerrigans ability to create Banelings = Most fun burst damage ever.

[@tobiasL1991]

I love his video's of these campaigns, like his character in WOW, wish he was still doing those or just more of these similar type videos.

[@MrScotty371971]

thanks for continuing the campaign story, keep it up

[@joshuabritton8455]

I like how that marine disobeyed his princes orders and listened to jim raynor and "OPENED. THE. DOOR."

[@michaelcolmar2029]

So good to see this playthrough because your last HotS playthrough on this channel is several years old and is not finished, but still... I think many people would love to watch alternative missions from WoL.

[@Neoste]

Everytime you say ''Hello everyone !'' with your tone of voice I just keep thinking about Putrecid in WoW when he says ''Good news everyone !''

[@GuyThat64]

I played the WoL campaign along side you and cant wait to do so with the rest of the HotS campaign

[@bammy292]

Recently discovered that you played the campaigns, just finished the first series, super excited to watch you play the Zerg campaign next, I know your a Zerg main in the Multiplayer so I hope you enjoyed this story line as much as me!

[@shijaschka]

Lowko, you are ont of the rarest people which vidoes I watch without subtitles (I'm Russian) because I understand you!!!

[@edwarddius]

Lol, when clicking through the videos, "It is time for a...." Click next video, "It is time for a..."

[@matisowaty4346]

Lowko and what about those "Choose path" missions in WOL??

[@CarlDeer]

Hey, today really is an exciting day, just the man I was waiting for with a new video about a game I can't play, but really enjoy watching.

[@mossblomma]

I love this campaign sooo much. This isn't immediately after wings of liberty, by the way, there was apparently some stuff between the end of WoL and HotS about Kerrigan detailed in some book IRCC.

[@TheVision_13]

This mission has a few cool little easter eggs like canceling the hatch and attacking with drones

[@pietertjeboersma6586]

Always looking forward to a next episode!

[@jweweiler]

My God, that opening cinematic is my favorite video game cinematic ever

[@alevel100onix5]

One little tip for over the entire campaign...if there is a certain unit you unlock with that mission it usually is the most usefull unit for that mission aswell...

[@jaredholloman5300]

YES!!!! One of my favorite campaigns.

[@Kkylon]

Are you not doing the other missions from Wings of Liberty where you can choose different options? I would love to the the Protoss one and the Nova Ghost mission!

[@123Sunwell]

Some lore backgrounds here: Umojan Protectorate is a independent faction out of Terran Dominion's rule, an armed force founded to protect inhabitants on planet Umoja from power-expanding Terran Confederacy at the time. Valerian's mother was the daughter of the ambassador of the Protectorate, and he actually grew up and lived there during his childhood.

[@trassage]

Grateful Kerrigan destroys half of the facility after being rescued. Nice job, SC2 Kerrigan, nice job.

[@TheSlick44y]

Tips for when it comes time: Going to try to say this to not spoil things, you’ll know when it’s time. Strains: Zergling: raptor Roach: vile Hydralisk: impailer: just because of range and plus damage versus armored. Swarm host: carrion. Air v ground Mutalisk: either is fine. Baneling: Hunter Ultralisk: torasque

[@mrbubbles7234]

that intro is DANK AF Bois, gives goosebumps every time

[@fdgod98]

@LowkoTV during the mission when velarian asked you to select the drone, there will be two Easter eggs if you leave the drone unselected for long enough

[@tonywoodard2569]

Lowko was that you on the headset doing WES Maru vs Dark????? WOW man Grats!!!! I think you do a better job casting games then the guys they normally have. I hope you got more changes to Live cast More tournaments!!!

[@Contanna]

Really happy you went back and played the game again to complete the achievement! See thats all I ask for :)

[@TheVision_13]

The opening trailer of HotS gives me chills every time

[@JolleonA]

Not sure if someone else mentioned it but Stetmann getting stranded in Bel'Shir happens between the end of WoL and the start of HotS, I was a bit disappointed by that not being in any of the games.

[@SabineKielhorn]

thank you Lowko =^.^= but you promissed to replay the three missions from the archives ... you still plan this to show?

[@Azrael2812]

hell yeah here we go! btw I love to see you get so excited for the campaign. gets me hyped to watch the playthrough :)

[@TheThanci]

Go go go! I want it all :D great job Lowko! :) can you upload every new campaign mission every day?

[@chaoticfish4017]

I'm so excited for the next episode.. why do I always have to wait?

[@daanbeerlage3263]

hell yeah my favorite race! Lowko, Love you!!

[@attilalorincz9910]

I was going to look at the youtube, what cast i am going to see but when i saw that the hots finnaly kicked in, i even triple klicked on the video :) i hope you will do the lotv as well, your reactions to some of the dialogs "sure try again" (zero hour wol-drop pods) are funny The hots is the easiest of the campaigns so i think you wont have problem with it

[@NewTypeDilemma01]

I hereby challenge you, Lowko: do the level using drones for the offense. Valerian: "Kerrigan, call off your...drones? You're attacking with _drones_ ."

[@toadofsteel]

My favorite thing in this mission is to max drones and win with them. Valerian actually acknowledges it too...

[@chendang9617]

1:57 that classic sound

[@deldalus]

It's good to complete archievements but make sure you got the mission completed with bonus objective cleared save overwriten on top. The game sometimes count your latest play as most updated one so you may lose your bonus objective stuff by accident.

[@GodWerewolf]

From terran to Swarm. Lets see how good you are Lowko!!!!

[@Zekurity]

Never clicked on a video so fast.

[@ebluegamer5397]

Lowko, The Zerg Player In The Intro Has Been Playing Zerg For Twenty Years.

[@Tensooni]

So excited for this! Btw, since you can't queen inject, I recommend putting down lots of hatcheries in missions.

[@FenrirTheGray]

Lowko pay attention to the achievement names! The person who came up with all the references should get a raise :D

[@tonisuikki9934]

Man, I need to play these. Ive only played a little bit of each campaign.

[@SmokeDrake]

If you attack with drones only, just after you do the part for making Zerglings, you get different voice lines from Valerian. ^^

[@katianamonero4820]

¡Maldición, ya era hora! Greetings from Mexico, Loco Lowko!

[@Miesha88]

Best tip I can give you for the Zerg campaign, go for the Raptor and Hunter evolutions :)

[@christronius1724]

For the Swarmm... i mean for the awosomness of Lowkoo!! :) I love your work, keep it up👍

[@AdventofMechanus]

There's one ability Kerrigan gets that causes Zerglings to automatically respawn, up to ten at a time. Pick the most perfect Zergling mutation, and you pretty much have a constant poke force. A great Strat, assuming you micro right.

[@Rikard_Nilsson]

The thing about the controlled environment is he could have just equiped the chamber with a ton of flamethrowers from all directions and he could abort the test at any time with the click of a button.

[@peterjoyce9599]

keep up the amazing content, I look forward to each of these videos

[@oletramekaf5603]

I'm gonna get a bit ahead of things and ask for the LOTV campaign!!!

[@jonsolo32]

Greatest intro to a game ever.

[@pipobananatpz9620]

This is going to be awesome, i'm waiting for next episode. Keep the good work.

[@BlackMaskq]

"Worst engagement ever. Landing your viking in front of an ultralisk" Lol

[@mlemmage8449]

hey lowko, make lots of static on the third mission where you destroy the cannon. youll need it

[@daburgerbandit1598]

I recently introduced a friend of mine to this campaign. He wanted to try out a StarCraft campaign, and he liked the zerg. Having never played an RTS game before, I set his difficulty to Casual... Ermagerd it was cringy to watch him play... LEFT CLICK TO SELECT, RIGHT CLICK TO MOVE, YA N00B!!!! (proceeds to left click the ground in an attempt to move; "Why won't it work?)

[@derfzgrld]

Wow... thats very hard to not get

[@ultralaggin8467]

Alright got a challenge for ya lowko on every evolution and upgrade choose the opposite. Just an idea to spice things up 👍

[@Degaliuss]

Just as you start the heart of the swarm brutal campaign, I finished it. Took a lot of retries since I also wanted to get all the bonus objectives.

[@hoshizora2943]

"until mengsk is dead. there can be a "you and me" damn kerrigan dropping swarms on raynor

[@potatomodem1079]

Finally lowko is gonna finish heart of the swarm

[@basbekjenl]

awesome so awesome i can't wait for the rest of the campain.

[@supertsar1934]

Oh man! I'm so excited for this!

[@KayakithLebita]

Was expecting this. Not disappointed

[@nguyenpham3593]

Lowko! where are the alternative missions? turn back and finish WoL plz.

[@canebro1]

That opening cutscene STILL makes me just go squeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!

[@violet-gi3ng]

I love it when ther still are people who love rts

[@johnnyjohnsonjohn2593]

I can’t believe Blizzard put a wilhelm scream in the opening cutscene!

[@artemis_fowl44hd92]

if you wait longer at the begining the adjutant say "select the drone" in zerg. and if you attack with drones there come an easteregg to.

[@meeqsb3521]

The wait in between the episodes is the hardest part

[@kenshinasakura3788]

"Kerrigan call off your...drones?....you're attacking me with drones......Kerrigan this isn't a game."

[@Luhrak]

"Beat the mission in 10min on NORMAL" Lowko: What? Normal? ridiculous!

[@kwokkie]

11:27 "You'll learn you can't control the Zerg", she said, while controlling Zerg.

[@johnathongay2593]

I’m looking forward to the evolution missions the most

[@orondahan3356]

Special cut-scene, attack with drones at the barracks at 12:43, she says it IS a game.
