StarCraft 2: The BEST of the Worst! (Painful 1v1s)

[@sciencetube4574]

I like Hugh. He is an artist. What is the point of building a base if you don’t like looking at it? The true endgame of an RPG is fashion, the true endgame of an RTS is architecture.

[@csmlouis]

That's for playing too much Satisfactory.

[@deSolAxe]

just started the vid, but I can only agree with this logic...

[@taoofjester4113]

Amen

[@HOFFandGOLDMAN]

I can't believe I made lowko! This makes my day. Haha. I'm flatterd by the architect compliment, but I'm a cattle rancher, I've only been playing SC2 for a month or so. 😂😂

[@oletramekaf5603]

I like how the video ends just as abruptly as the match did.

[@lickenchicken143]

Ranji, noo!

[@benspooner8815]

Seeing both players pull their miners to chase the scout made me chuckle. That's great.

[@MrStealYoBeef]

Sally's response to seeing mass colossus was to get a couple hydras and then in a desperation attempt to save himself, he spawned a bunch of zerglings. Literally snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. All he had to do was hold down the roach key and he won.

[@giacomogotta2253]

I love how sally contained the opponent on 2 bases yet always stayed on less workers

[@ivancolesnic]

@@giacomogotta2253 that really is a gift, he kept the game fair.

[@joelillo09]

Bro..This is the best ending I've ever seen..it just fades away in regret lol

[@stofsk]

That DT warp in after sniping the overseers was pretty clutch Lowko, you have to admit it

[@aspecterr]

300 IQ move

[@oddeda]

That's just BS that wins on lower levels. It's hard for unskilled players. Protoss didn't deserve that win, that's what makes me hate Protoss, because it happens too often in lower levels.

[@kennethferland5579]

I think the Overseers might have just flown into photon cannons.

[@inflatablewolfie]

@@oddeda huh? Protoss was doing zealot runbys, which was keeping Rangi at home for most of it. Rangi was also making Hydras, which, while they have good dps, have no other redeemable qualities. Oh, no, actually, I forgot, Hydras become Lurkers. That's actually their best feature. Yeah this is Bronze but the level displayed was honestly above bronze, from both players. Rangi also had a bad case of the premature GG. It happens to everyone, it's normal, but still. A Zerg doesn't have to GG after losing units as long as they have an eco and Rangi had that. So, Rangi had a unit comp that's micro heavy for this level, roach Hydra Infestor, while NoGo went for a unit comp that's easy to manage, zealot DT. Why doesn't P deserve this? They used a unit that's part of their race? Right, that's so imba... lowPalm

[@ZC.Andrew]

@@oddeda K then Zerg doesn't deserve to win when they basetrade Terrans with Lurkers, or when they ling rush. You know how many low league games are decided in 3 minutes by a 12 Pool Ling rush? Or Nydus Queen all-in? Give me a break. The Protoss Book of Bullshit might be fatter than Terran's or Zerg's, but every race has their bullshit. And bullshit tactics are part of the game. Take it or leave it.

[@jingles013]

Everything makes sense except for the strategy 🤣

I guess the zerg really hates cannon rush so hard that immediately sends all workers to kill single probe

[@Caldaris]

Definately seems that way, Sally was clearly cannon rushed in their previous game.

[@Xenibalt]

@@Caldaris LAGtv taught us years ago THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 4

[@ZC.Andrew]

@@Xenibalt That's the number to kill a Pylon before it can complete, right? Not to send after a single Probe....

[@Xenibalt]

@@ZC.Andrew yes, but also you can afford to send a couple, after they deal with that probe you send them to gas, hatch expand evo chamber maybe bane roach? those 4 drones won't hurt a zerg as much as a terran or other toss

[@ZC.Andrew]

@@Xenibalt Yes Zerg can afford this moreso than other races. But this is lower League stuff. A good Toss will send 2 Probes, and throw down several Pylons to draw Drones to. You will go broke and die to a good cannon rusher in Plat and above, if you try to pull 4 drones per Probe, plus more for Pylons/Cannons. It's important to know that the "magic number" specifically refers to worker pulls needed to cancel/kill specific buildings. There is no magic number for killing probes!

[@liamgonzales8111]

There is NO WAY Lowko said, “I have never seen Avatar,” and did not expect to get a ton of comments about that!

[@Xenibalt]

i'm a huge anime fan and i dont see the attraction of avatar literally never been interested to even check it out edit : oh yeah i think it's the ugly characters and all the highlights and clips and community chatting about it i feel like ive already watched it i feel the same way about cowboy beebop tho, what's the hype, really? just cause spike is a likable character and they kill him in an actually dramatic way? it only feels epic because the anime bar is set SO LOW

[@Rainoryo]

@@Xenibalt I don't mind if it appeals to you, there is a ton of things i don't care for that everyone says are amazing. But avatar's world, story, character development and character personality/psychology is miles ahead of 97% of current animes imho.

[@inflatablewolfie]

​@@Xenibalt "literally never been interested to even check it out"... So basically, everyone talks about the fact that it's really good, sharing clips, memes and whatnot, and what you take from that is "meh, nah.." Just give it a chance, uncle Iroh will soothe your scarred heart with his great quotes, wise insight and, most importantly, great tea.

[@st4rk1113r]

[@chefbrankothespider5094]

I was skipping a lil a that part i was like this is GG for Zerg player and then whole army was gone, i was like okey what is going on fast looking back i was bolding my breath and my head in shock one of the best plot twist ever

[@Varaquilex]

"Everything makes sense, except for the strategy. " I thought you were finally gonna say something nice without strings attached... you got me once again xD

[@yamilabugattas3895]

That last game was unexpected. Plus it's difficult too understand that being a bronze game and the previous one being silver, the second one made a lot more sense.

[@jkobain]

10:22 - I've been waiting for this Artosis Pylon to go down since the moment I saw it.

[@ilikedragons7928]

Love viewer games. Always there's something special to see.

[@heat76ers]

a big milestone in my ladder journey is to get casted on one of these - i just send in replays from time to time in this hope hahaha

[@chrispypie9649]

I reckon the second games players were higher than bronze, but the SC2 ladder bugs made it look like they were bronze. They seemed a little too good to be at bronze imo.

[@ndclub67]

They looked at least gold league to me.

[@1un4cy]

Rangi coulda just made 23 more hydralisks to go across the map but instead he chose to be salty over some dark templar while not having vision.

[@csmlouis]

I was as confused as Sally thinking more stuff beats less stuff. But then, I came to realization; hugh-ganus has the highground 10:09

[@csmlouis]

Rangi was in the lead but sadly lost the 4D chess upstair.

Haha funny how the video just ends with Lowko saying Nooooo

[@yomama8935]

LOWKO YOU NEED TO WATCH AVATAR WTH CMON GUYS LIKE THIS SO HE ACTUALLY DOES

[@TubeTAG]

I mean, taking money to cast a player game but not uploading it to your KZbin channel, or doing so unlisted, seems kind of legit to me. It's basically Cameo but for a whole game. The player gets to hear Lowko's dulcet tones over their masterpiece of a strategy and Lowko gets paid. Win, win to me.

[@huyxiun2085]

It's like saying sucking a dick is fine as long as you get paid for it AND the video remains private. Sure it's "better" than to being forced to do it and being exposed on internet... but you know buddy, depending on the situation, "better" isn't always a win.

[@THeDoMeTB]

Hugh Ganus and Mike Hunt are best friends Ben Dover slips in too from time to time

[@Zenkujo]

"I think BeastyQT did this sometime" can be said for almost ANY bizarre strat to Master/GM :P

[@Pierre-Jonqueres]

Hugh will never hear "Not enough minerals !"

[@XicGe]

If this repaly is from this season, there's seems to be some problems and bugs with league placement. I was placed in Master's Leuague with only 2900 MMR, which actually fits platinum better. In 2v2 with a friend we were placed in Bronze League with 3K MMR, I know, it doesn't make any sense. So those two "bronze" players from the second match probably are not bronze, but platinum.

I have to say thanks for making me laugh. In todays world I need it. I want you to appreciate you going through the stress!

[@stofsk]

Minute into the first game and Lowko casts shade on Huge Anus' elaborate probe travel path BUT LOOK AT WHAT IT ACCOMPLISHED LOWKO, Sally pulled all their drones That was a high IQ strat

[@HOFFandGOLDMAN]

I'm flattered lmao 😂 it is a strat of mine though. Fake cannon rush, lowko did poke fun at my drone going to scout for a spawning pool that clearly couldn't be there, but I run a probe into or beside the minerals so they see it and then run it outside of their vision on their main. Takes they're resource collection down a bit early game. I definitely need to improve a lot though. Lmao.

[@mikedavis2653]

The saddest part of this whole video is the fact that Lowko announces he hasn't seen Last Airbender series.

Fun facts about Rangi (from Avatar, since you mentioned it). While she doesn't appear in either of the shows, she features in the "Rise of Kyoshi" and "Shadow of Kyoshi" novels. She is Avatar Kyoshi's firebending instructor, childhood friend, and love interest!

SolStice (the creator of Kairon and co.) has a small tournament with new races going on. Ask him for some replays.

At one point i thought hugh thought that warp gates are single use. He would keep getting more and using each once, it would've been amazing!
