StarCraft 2: CHEEKY PROTOSS MOVES! (Maru vs Astrea)

[@imbincibleboss]

Pro Player: Builds a worker Lowko: I love these little moves they make, slowly putting themselves ahead of their opponent

[@LowkoTV]

Hahahahaha

[@twoweirdbros6969]

lol

[@nickomon7822]

Very nice hahahahahaha

The magic of c a s t i n g .

[@alexanderscott4543]

Lol

[@aw0193]

I m still looking at these replays and not even playing Starcraft at all. More fun than watching soccer or Formula 1 Thx Lowko

[@zatablet5793]

F1 for life

[@bagalas87]

Ive never ever played SC2 multiplayer and i've been watching Lowko doing replay covers for years now.

[@TritonTv69420]

@@bagalas87 He is the #1 in my opinion

[@FairyRat]

This and Dota 2 are the most entertaining sports to watch for me and I'm not playing myself either. F1 is the definition of P2W, but I gotta admit that the Netflix series is pretty intense.

[@ElJulyPK]

Same, i didnt even like play RTS games that much tho XD. But i really enjoy watching Lowko cast some replays

[@ic3dee]

a lil bit of topic but I love how the players' colors are matching with the map main colors, cyan and yellow, pretty nice to watch haha

[@Jbn0s0rus]

Now that you mention it... Yea! It looks great !!

[@SIyMarbo]

Yeah i was sad when lowko was about to change colors lol

[@night_h4nter]

It's actually not nice to watch, since it's difficult to distinguish all the dots on minimap from terrain.

[@ballboys607]

Nerd Terran gets bullied by Chad Protoss for 20 minutes

[@johannes8485]

20 minutes straight c:

[@pierrelipani6132]

You killed me thx

[@jowbee4675]

Astrea's luck and skill was so on point but damn Maru is a BEAST

[@tigera6]

This was played on NA West server btw, so give Maru a bit more credit for doing that with higher ping.

[@j2geek]

Clem, Astrea, & Reynor- the kids are alright!

[@InstantProtato]

im impressed by astrea

[@FairyRat]

I really love Astrea's style. It's just relentless assault and all kinds of shenanigans non-stop in pretty much every game, he's not afraid to experiment that's for sure, makes it very entertaining to watch.

[@SomeGuy-nr9id]

I realized in this game he wasn't sure how many disrupter shots it would take to kill a depot. Now he knows its 3 guy is still learning and beats maru while doing it this dudes gonna be a protoss monster pretty soon.

[@firestarter000001]

Same. I would like to underline his ingenuity, he tries new stuff all the time.

[@Naxian222]

Omg he did the intro! GUYS HE DID THE INTRO!

[@BarefootWalker]

lol

[@iseektheholygrail2055]

Not as energetic as usual tho

[@alonetush8083]

@@iseektheholygrail2055 no dude he nailed it

[@xMickx]

well yeah he's just being polite

[@Moshthun]

YES THE INTRO!

[@Platschu]

Lowko is still my favorite SC2 commentator as he is more humble than others.

[@victorchen5663]

Wow, I am now a fan of Astrea! Astrea showing some awesome moves, hope he keeps improving. He's showing tons of promise.

[@mattybhoy6522]

So good with stretching the opponents force chipping away at both sides and then going in for the kill. Great micro and he doesn't let his macro slip too much. He looks like an absolute to pest to play lol.

[@BryanRice800]

I see astrea rising in popularity in this channel :)

[@MadMan-7978]

Regarding the colors that were the colors their teams had during War Chest team league they couldn’t choose these

[@jameskrolak]

Is it wrong that I watched the last minute of this several times? I love to see these underdogs win with some clever play.

[@Sina-xw4xp]

maru's confidence is amazing. he even manages to almost even up the economy!

[@johndoerayme7064]

Strong, disciplined play from both sides, good to watch (and hear) this one.

[@kelposo]

Mexico is also North America, don't forget about Special

central america

[@ballboys607]

@@memoramissa Nope, Mexico is part of NA. Central America is further south.

[@TheHawianer]

And we all know Juanito been slapping Koreans for a good while now

[@kelposo]

@@TheHawianer and he even has time to laugh at Lowko's army compositions

[@ShiDWa]

Yeah, but Special lives in Korea, so we can't really count him. He can practice lan and online KR games with insanely good ping as well.

[@mathieugrenier27]

Nice game ! that game was like a long and exciting siege

[@debruin14]

Most epic game posted to channel in while! Good one!

[@Jobutron1]

This is one of the sickest games I've seen in a while; like a RTS game of chess; wow, this was so fun (and I'm a terran player)! Good job on casting too!

[@AlexanderKirkpatrick]

God Lowko, I wish I had a friend like you when going through life. Stay awesome my man.

[@rorydonaldson2794]

I was on the edge of my seat the entire game. What a crazy match!!!

[@gliesegliese1411]

This is what it feels like to play protoss in pvt, you need to do everything just right to not die, and when you are winning super hard it is always 2s from loosing... While balanced on the top level starcraft often just makes it feel like odds are stacked against you. Misplace one building - dead by zerglings Miss a blink - dead by tanks Loose a prism - got to back off to your base Miss probe pathing by milimiters - dead by proxies Forget 4 units in mineral line - dead by a drop Blink(with eyes) - dead by mines/banes/disruptors/emps/hydras/storm But in winters words: "It's not about winning or loosing, it's about complaining on the internet"

[@Ne3zyTV]

cry more

[@gliesegliese1411]

@Tegridy Farms Perhaps on pro level, however where most players are it is much easier to execute a tank push than it is to defend it for instance

[@Treksh]

Thanks for the episode~ Sick, some Protoss dominance right there.

[@brianrice4102]

Wow. Loving the recent Astrea videos. He's shaking it up and he is fast becoming my new favorite player

[@DarkRavin07]

Astrea pulled the old, "Hey look im over here." An it worked multiple times.

[@rorydonaldson2794]

The disruptor and DT plays this match were next level

[@manongal8588]

This is what i listen to whenever i feel like relaxing or playing other games, Note that i dont actually play starcarft 2 anymore hahaha Thank you sir!! Always happy to see updatea from both your channels,

[@theetiologist9539]

Dude the game has the most sick disruptor hits I’ve ever seen in one of Lowko replays.

[@tivnator]

Love to see this colors instead of red and blue. It's fantastic to see all the colors that SC 2 has and also which color each player choose. It's very unique, thanks you Lowko

[@milchkanne21]

what a crazy game! thanks for sharing that, Lowko and cheers from Germany

[@slygg]

You can just hear the dutch in his "welcome"

[@nar2130]

Wow that was one HELL of a game! Thanks Lowko!

[@brickiscool3004]

A newcomer beats a very very scary player to go against, a very bright future for this one.

[@Mike-cr2bc]

Lowko + Maru= always a win

[@jonathanovando3338]

20:25! 👍👍👍 It's for the Protoss !!!

[@HamsterWT]

Yes, our lord has uploaded.

[@hoanganphanle]

Astrea is on a rise and it's amazing. But the fact that Maru really pushed the game to this limit despite getting jumped on unnoticed by that proxy Gateway is just scary

[@firestarter000001]

True, most players would be dead by the end of this proxy play.

[@stalwart56k]

The colors look really awesome on this map man, especially with NIght Shift and Dark mode on a Mac :)

[@ukaszwisnicki7893]

Can anyone explain to me what really happened in 15:05 ? What does it mean "good deflection by maru"... I don't know such mechanics

[@tigera6]

He means that Maru was able to protect the mining base without losing too many workers, help to keep the eonomy going.

[@QianBing]

Its great to see new protoss dominating

[@LoptukqrickL11]

I'm already burnt out on Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, but I still enjoy watching Lowko everyday.

[@danielhaskins7028]

Wow this was a sick game

[@antimime666]

Where can I find things to search for on the internet?

[@nekdo_kavc]

Loved this game!

[@87ljubomir]

That was impressive, astra did a good job there. Nice

[@MyPoken]

Two things I forget every day. 1. His name is Lowko 2. Today it's time for a professional round of StarCraft 2 I love it

[@c.santibanezsoto]

I love when you could load stuff on your medivacs

[@BGLoscar]

As a newbie who is trying to explore the medivac drop tactic. It sucks now that you can only carry SCVs... GG :((

[@justinh.7846]

Astrea pulling out the parting tricks

[@johnnyboy3357]

The psy-war guerilla tactics hit-and-run won him the game, a style typically employed in warcraft games but this time applied in sc2, crude but effective, unusual for maru to fall for a psy war tactic made him look like suffocated by astrea's "im everywhere" strategy

[@firestarter000001]

Yes but the thing you must remember is the SC2 snowball effect. He was behind after the proxy play. Once you are behind you got less units to cover your bases , so its easier to do this hit and run , and it snowballs more and more.

[@onepituit]

To wish upon a star suddenly gains a new meaning

[@reue100]

ME adding in massive fart noises to that last disrupter hit.

[@outsiider2537]

i love DT play, always feel like you should sneak 3 or 4 in when you can

[@tigera6]

Yeah, and for some reason Terran just do not make much Raven nowadays.

[@mikeballew3207]

Holy. Shit.

[@LiquidVaisselle]

Cannot forget the idea of the "major" tone version of the intro, you have to do it it's too good

[@vancruising]

That was pretty good.

[@SnoWman7171]

It´s comforting to see maru struggle against invi unitsxd

[@enelson39]

Oh hey, a new Lowko, sweet!

Haha, the Florenstrea play!

what map is this? looks cool.

hey lowko i was browsing the arcade single player section and i found a map made by a fan of yours i suggest you play it also aparently they are developing a game called "rencia" on steam.(the map is called Lowko Origin #1)

No more

[@Betelgeuseification]

If more protoss start storm and disruptor drops ... So good!

[@juchnowicz]

You love the word cheeky got damn

[@twoweirdbros6969]

very good game

[@hujiaming6151]

Please do a new video about Alarak with the latest patch with rework of prestige 3.

[@AlexanderKirkpatrick]

I still think that the terran mech units (all of them) should be able to attack and move at the same time. I mean this is stuff current tank and mech units are able to do so I can't imagine the future mankind not being able to do this. Especially with A.I. That should be the terran strength, move and attack at the same time and be cost efficient.

[@andreyllosa9106]

hahaha that was sick bro from astrea

[@FirstLast-gk6lg]

Wow Tarren are so beefy it's wild haha Protoss has to absolutely stomp the Terran for 15min to get the victory.

Tanktoppers vs 4shades of protoss!!!

.... so tense!! I don't know if I should be rooting for maru because terran or astrea because america!!

[@maximemaximal3418]

Oh !!! Haven't seen the video yet but heard the intro !! He changed his tone in order to respect the chord (i can't remember which one it is and i'm not a musician but that note when he is saying Lowko is now different). True lowko fans know what I mean ^^

[@jkobain]

¡oH mY gUt LoWkO yOu'Re So PrOtOsS-BiAsEd!

[@mIKEAleph1]

Amazing! Go Protoss!

[@saintmayhem9873]

Alternative title: Maru makes a mistake! Those DTs that slipped through the "wall" was just enough to push the match in Astrea's favor. That one mistake set Maru backpedaling a little bit and snowballed. Kudos to Astrea for having the game sense to pounce when they did, a few more minutes and Maru would've caught back up.

[@Spartsou]

hahaha!! This game was awesome!

[@Jcarroz]

Aaaamerica, America Protosss, god shed his grace on thee...Parting is an America hero
