Very cheesy games of StarCraft 2. In this best-of-3 series we have Bly (Zerg) facing off against Gungfubanda, with some hyper aggressive Zerg rushes.

There was a huge bane runby at 41:00 which forced the attack from gungfu

[@temushin]

Yeah, there was a reason Bly wasn't targeting the probes with his mutas. He was busy killing the whole mineral line at the third.

[@swaggadash9017]

I saw 22 probes die and was like that scene from wolf of wall Street where he's pointing 😂

[@KevinFu5100]

I appreciate the (almost) 1 hour long content, I don't play StarCraft2 at all these days, but still enjoy your casting!

[@svengalt9546]

23:00 during this engagement we see the splitting of some sacrificial roaches toward the opponents mineral line which draws the main stalker army there, moves over with the main roach force and snipes an immortal then retreats using the partial locust wave as cover. It's an amazing maneuver even if it didn't get much value.

[@jkkim6928]

Zerg has Bly, Protoss has Has, Terran has Uthermal. Crazy trio

[@Erebus2075]

the doom cheese was born :P

[@Willdreynolds870621]

bly should start getting his upgrades. that last fight was 0/0 roach ravager vs 3/3 stalker archon

[@danc6167]

I'd love to see Bly face off against Erik in a Bo5. Those two are so creative

[@Spartsou]

a Bo3 50 minute video where Bly cheeses?! *this'll be good* let me grab some 2-bite brownies really quick

[@dayshigh4068]

THE high level cheese I can smell Bly through the screen.

[@TritonTv69420]

Lowko taking notes from winter's thumbnails. Haha

[@TheVirtual3]

Lowko I've been loving the props in your thumbnails. Please don't stop, they're hilarious

[@ZerglingLover]

this thumbnail was heretical. there was no clickbait arrow, and the arrows in the last few days haven’t even looped. you’ve changed, Lowko. I’m not sure I can handle this. The weight of your actions weigh upon me just as the very sky weighed upon Atlas.

[@svengalt9546]

@@ZerglingLover you must not speak so harshly. Remember that it can always be MUCH worse. We could have thumbnails featuring the soyjack surprised face every time. I'll enjoy the arrows when we are rationed them, and I will smile at sight of the props when we are graced with those as well.

[@ZerglingLover]

@@svengalt9546 To live without arrows is to live without oxygen. I cannot live without them. The pressure that the lack of arrows weighs heavily on my heart, slowly killing it just as a lack of oxygen kills the lungs. Arrows are not a mere commodity or want, they’re a necessity. To live without arrows is something i will not, should not and can not stand for- because my heart will fail.

At 40:55 "A bunch of dead probes. Could have been a couple more": Lowko, 18 probes is a very open minded definition of a couple.

[@tompupo]

Prediction - Zerg wins (just because we love Lenny and Brenda)

[@cjjuszczak]

Good lord that last game was pretty much Blue Balls the entire time o.O

[@Josh-99]

I don't blame GunFu for playing that last game super-safe at the end. Zerg is capable of MONUMENTAL amounts of absolute BS even when they back is against the wall thanks to the maphack that is Creep and their ability to pump out 80 supply of army in the blink of an eye that you need to ensure you have an overwhelming advantage and all of your bases covered before you go in.

[@d0-va17]

after watching your videos for so long i finally decided to download and play the game wish me luck

[@fungoose2195]

prediction- idk its 12 am and im def gonna fall asleep but who cares ITS LOWKO rewatching starcraft i subconsciously know is fun.

[@itsimnova]

6:55 the epic artosis pylon

[@aubreyfinn4450]

in the third game you missed Bly getting a huge baneling runby which is why gungfu was forced into an all-in

[@michaelbooser2316]

Lowko if you're ever deciding to upload a series or not, just know that I'd watch you cast a bot match, against bots

[@chrisdaignault9845]

Well now I’m curious.

[@peevee2552]

Missed more Bly`s vids :)

[@mar_sh4617]

That zealot has a very slippery sword - lowko, 2023

[@temushin]

Releasing a Bly game right before I go to work... are you trying to get me fired?!

[@andrewsmith3616]

Second game, the reason he put that Gyser there so fast is because of the probe. If the probe stole it... would of been a waste.

[@chrisdaignault9845]

Brenda and the spore crawlers is a dope band name

[@ab-rw9jk]

I am a simple man: I see Bly in a description - I like the video automatically

[@perseverant]

The best part is the thumbnail with Lowko taking notes 😂

[@atrudokht]

since he's main zerg :D

[@ZerglingLover]

this thumbnail was heretical. there was no clickbait arrow, and the arrows in the last few days haven’t even looped. you’ve changed, Lowko. I’m not sure I can handle this. The weight of your actions weigh upon me just as the very sky weighed upon Atlas.

[@object3280]

I love Bly content from Lowko

[@SalvaBarbus]

You now hear "locusts" as "lowkos". You're welcome.

[@MrErizid]

What caused the change to gas geysers from Broodwar to SC2? Couldn't you keep mining very reduced gas from depleted geysers in Broodwar?

[@laureloneiros1500]

Can you post some Scion custom race stuff? I heard the recent updates were interesting

[@blackfalcon1324]

Me learning that swarm host spawns can fly.

[@Davefitz04]

A slippery sword😂😂😂😂😂

[@swaggadash9017]

It must be hard to play Bly at a live tournament. Im sure his aroma is caustic, distracting and slightly cheesy 😂

[@luiz00estilo]

I don't think GungFu was respecting bly in the last game, I think he was punishing him for not leaving when he was obviously losing. _"Sure, you're gonna stay until I go to kill you? Then I'll sit back and contain you on 2 bases until you realize that this game is already done"_ I've heard that some pros like to punish opponents that don't surrender by trapping them in an unwinnable game.

[@jackl597]

I dont mind watching videos that aren't dark ever game. Underrated talent games are also fun.

[@thearcanepony135]

the hell are the 3 symbols doing on top right all the way at the beginning

[@SmilingKratosTheGodOfWar]

I was surprised bly didnt get overlord speed a bit sooner in the 3rd game.

[@Vevvev8]

That was an interesting last game.

[@DiverDrive428]

Bly was on fire. Till he burned away.

[@1KamaronConClase]

Incredible games! GG Well Casted 🎉🎉🎉

[@Federico-1]

Bly games make me so happy

[@ObeliskM]

So fun style.

[@itKiba]

Can't say I understand massing roaches 20 minutes into the game without a single missile upgrade in Game 3

[@charlieashman9560]

Haven't seen void rays in a very long time..they used to be a common thing.

[@Josh-99]

They got nerfed into the abolute ground in the last patch, essentially deleted from the game. They may be THE worst unit in the game at the moment, given their expense, build time, low damage, slow movement, and general lack of purpose. You used to see them because they were excellent in the early game, though they fell off pretty hard in the last game. Well, their cost and build time were BOTH increased, completely eliminating their purpose as an early-game unit.

[@ZerglingLover]

@@Josh-99 overall i’d say the worst unit of all time is probably the overlord. literally useless unit, its only purpose is to lord over the cooler bugs and also to give this weird stuff called supply, but Hatcheries give me that stuff too. useless unit, can’t even do a poorly-executed and stupid rush with them. i’d love to have my overlords shoot laser beams at my enemies but i sadly cannot

[@misturanderson]

Love the super high level stuff, but these games humanize the player base.

[@ahmetalt00]

Colors are hard indeed 😂

[@helmutalexanderrubiowilson6835]

lmao is funny because i do the same as lowko does when i see Bly or Erik playing.... just because for a diamond league like me copy dark serral or reynor is not possible xD

[@drfortress1]

Game 2 Bly got Melee+1 and made like ten lings all game lol

[@arvinjancruz5175]

great game!

[@TheNerdForAllSeasons]

Bly is literally incapable of not cheesing. It is counter to his nature.

[@hisazul]

Cheese you say? Don't mind if I do.

[@hydraulichydra8363]

Lowko, Altitude is by far the _best_ map in the map pool. Babylon, Gresvan, and Royal Blood are all boring as hell, and the others suffer from being smaller.

[@Dakota_B_]

Might be time to move some power out of stalkers to other toss units, too much of a swiss army knife.

[@kanzakierika1428]

What rhymes with Bly? . . . . . . . . . . . . . Proxy Hatch.

[@NeoStorm123]

You should make another channel where you upload all the videos you cast that you don’t want to put on your main channel, all the “boring ones”.

[@DeimosEvoLution]

I never cease to be amazed by just how bad Bly's fundamentals are. Game two 15:00 +1 range after melee when he barely makes any melee units. Constantly floating resources etc. Once a game goes beyond 15 minutes he's just fundamentally far worse than other pro players

[@alizamaniyan960]

why he makes gateways next to proxy pilon why not make it in his base

[@Taznak]

Wow, playing against Bly must be really obnoxious

[@absolutexero9385]

Colors are only hard if you're color blind Lowko

[@StaK_1980]

Swarm hosts should be 8 supply...

[@maximesavard-beaudoin560]

lwko u missed 22 probes kill i think

[@ZerglingLover]

this thumbnail was heretical. there was no clickbait arrow, and the arrows in the last few days haven’t even looped. you’ve changed, Lowko. I’m not sure I can handle this. The weight of your actions weigh upon me just as the very sky weighed upon Atlas.

[@TheMasterhomaster]

Bly throws away so many units. Very frustrating to watch.

[@hydraulichydra8363]

Get rekt, h0hol!

[@faizaimanfadhiladzim8568]

How is Distruptor's Nova is channeling spell but Swarm Host can just run into Nydus after spawn Locust? Where balance? 11:42

[@corlay77]

No classic Lowko intro 😑

[@michaelpereyra3415]

More bly games!

[@TommyEick]

My gold protoss HATES swarm host & nysus play

[@pavlomikulak633]

Bly man is in bad shape now because there is a war in Ukraine, because of this the electricity is often turned off, I think you should have commented on this fact.

[@brandonotto3031]

All these games more cuz majority of us play like this

[@Aridiki]

BLY

[@anandnallathambi2923]

Lowko continuing to complain about Altitude...yet it never gets vetoed so...

[@technodrone313]

what ever happened to mc?

[@bagahbread]

He kept making Roaches against a million Stalkers?? Made 0 sense. If he made lings he would’ve won the game. He was making the 1 unit that Stalkers are good against over and over 💀

[@hivetech4903]

He would not have won the game 😂

[@ZerglingLover]

zerglings are absurdly easy to counter. the only difference between what would’ve happened is Bly managing to push the army back for a minute or so before dying.

[@bagahbread]

@@ZerglingLover Zerglings are easy to counter but you make roaches against a unit that deals bonus damage to them??? All he had to do was make a lot of lings and target fire down the archons with the roaches

[@ZerglingLover]

@@bagahbread better to make roaches vs stalkers than zerglings vs archons.

[@tahmeedkhan2130]

What's cheesing?

[@cyberkekosis]

cheesing is basically gambling. you go for a very non-standard tactic which is extremely good if your opponent doesn't know what you are doing and/or is unaware of what to do against your tactic. cheese is also a free loss generator. if your opponent scouts your trick the trick is going to not work anymore. and you most probably lose or at least get in a weaker spot than your opponent. some examples of cheese: • making a couple barracks very close to opponent's bases to summon a lot of infantry to kill your opponent or at least injure their economy very hard. • landing a planetary fortress inside your opponent's base (deals a lot of damage to both your opponent and to your economy) • straight up massing units instead of advancing your economy so you either crush your opponent or get your attack deflected without money to back that up • just going for an attack with your units and also most of your workers so they work as a meatshield or damage output (but yet again, if you fail with the attack you're left with no economy)

[@ZerglingLover]

cheese example: cannon rush, proxy rax, etc. not cheese example: 2 adept harassment at the 5 minute mark

[@zes7215]

no such thing as cx or not or filx or etc about it

[@dustinmcdonald1784]

I don’t like how you keep comparing these players to others…. Like oh well if this was maxpax he would already have his third… if this was serral… blah blah blah…. Not cool, just cast it like you would cast any game you don’t need to point out every single mistake as if you could do any better than these guys…

[@ZerglingLover]

so your not going to criticize a pilot for nosediving into the ocean because you couldn’t do any better? if you don’t want the caster to cast the game go watch it on your own you neandrethal also the hypocrisy is astounding lmao, “don’t criticize people if you can’t do better” while simultaneously criticizing a professional caster

[@roanmolenaar]

Look at the crowds going wild for cheese. And ppl wonder why playing the game is unfun af. Permanently stuck to 4 min games. Gj community you ruined sc2

[@ZerglingLover]

wowie people like new strategies??? unbelievable, mind blown. stop crying lmfao

[@ZerglingLover]

@@gruckusgrackus5815 what youtubers are you even talking about? Harstem? Winter? Lowko? None of these people smurf, and they’re pretty much the only starcraft youtubers.

[@hivetech4903]

@@gruckusgrackus5815 Lol wut? Suggesting that reaper spam wouldn't exist without KZbin is utterly backwards. Firstly the game literally wouldn't exist without KZbin and viewers watching it. Secondly SC2 is about build orders... people will figure out cheese builds. Thirdly, cheese would be much _harder_ to counter without KZbin, because everybody knows that reaper spam is a weak build, so maybe you are not watching enough.

[@hivetech4903]

4 minute games? Let me guess your definition of fun is a team game where you double expo into static defense, get like 6 Stargates online while getting shield upgrades for your army that doesn't exist 😂

[@ZerglingLover]

@@hivetech4903 we’ve had a few disagreements before but i’ve never seen a better take
