I still love viewer submitted games much more, than professional ones. Because I just dont know what to expect

[@psikochas]

I agree, the silver and gold fellas play some funky styles

[@csmlouis]

Literally had me on the floor rolling when the Vikings and the CC plays musical chair; landing lifting landing lifting landing.

[@xitaris5981]

@@csmlouis :D I love how they never thought to land some vikings and leave some in the air.

[@joachimmikkelsen9902]

Thats half the fun - the rest is the stupidity.. I am shit at sc2, so I would probably loose to either of them...

[@barrypinap3998]

I just love seeing 2 zealots erase a mineral line

[@HWARANGSO]

Imagine being Taco or LoveSong. Talking to their friends or partner about this epic, nail-bitingly exciting match they had in a tournament, to witness the next day Lowko and chat just utterly shitting on them for over 40 minutes. XD

[@missmyf85]

As someone who used to play Starcraft 1 exactly like that, and am now teaching my 13 year old to play and he does it too, I can confirm. They 100% would have been talking about the super intense long game they played in a tournament.

[@thomasricci5007]

There’s no way he saw the marines run into his siege tanks😂. He was 100% zoomed in on the scv battle

[@arcyniminimagik]

@LowkoTV, Please cast again fully from LoveSonq's perspective s owe can verify

[@joeslambers3537]

and the worst part was it was the best trade he had in all the game

[@ultimaIXultima]

Absolutely this, i was laughing so hard, haha

[@infested4494]

I saw the marines going into the siege tanks.

[@davidw3414]

Lowko please cast more of these, it does wonders for my Diamond League ego.

[@sheldonwright9195]

Dude I'm silver 1 and this is doing wonders for mine as well 😂 (just did my first placements ever last week and climbing up quick)

[@MadMan-7978]

Lowko: "it's like World War I where we dug up the trenches" Also Lowko: "Why do you think it's going to go better now though. We've literally just done this fight" Yes Lowko. This is exactly like World War 1.

[@Brooke-rw8rc]

The way Taco just DONATES his entire army, but LoveSong was so busy microing the SCV fight that he failed to notice! 🤣🤣🤡😭

[@xitaris5981]

14:40 Couldn't possible land some Vikings and then have some in the air at the same time. IMPOSSIBLE

[@yomama8935]

"just like real life, richest guy wins" had me dying 🤣

[@joshuahitchins1897]

I'm just proud of TacoEmissary getting the ranged upgrade precisely at the optimal build time of 48:17. 100% he built the fusion core to make BCs and then realized the upgrade existed at that moment.

[@missmyf85]

Yes. It was slow but I am proud that he was learning during that match. Clearly he is very new and it can be overwhelming at first but he definitely did learn and adapt strategies and try new units and upgrades, albeit very slowly.

[@Jabawalk]

I learnt a few thing: 1. They are playing a mind game, literally. See who have a mental breakdown first 2. Their SCVs have more action than other units in the whole game. 3. The valkyrie vs CC dance is the most epic move I have seen like… EVER! 4. Scan has suppressing power, those units revealed by scan cannot move. 5. I can’t decide if this 40 mins was wasted or well spent🤔. The “they are more likely to make Carriers than making liberators” got me

[@LowkoTV]

Painful... But so much fun!

[@psikochas]

Accept it Lowko, these are the funniest games, they are unpredictable, crazy and creative, we want to see more, it is in my opinion your best section on the channel.

[@csmlouis]

[@metroidsector213]

The "short break" had me so ded LMAO. love watching any sc2 with you Lowko

[@voltix54]

I was expecting a hilarious game but this was the most frustrating thing ive ever watched

[@TrevorWongMusic]

man these viewer games are just the best to watch. so ridiculous. this one was PAINFUL

[@jamesclayton9177]

I love how lowko is so confident nothing is going to happen in this game that he just leaves for a while

[@emangination]

The names TacoEmissary and LoveSonq will forever be remembered here. Thanks Lowko, love this kind of stuff.

[@orpheus280]

The best part of this whole thing is that Lovesonq GG'd after a loss of only part of his army that he thought was essential. He was not trying to drag it out as long as possible. He truly thought he had a chance to win even out to the 49 minute mark.

[@Emiltecknar]

no its quite obvious that he just trolled the hole time

[@orpheus280]

@@Emiltecknar Then why GG? Why not drag it out until the other guy destroys all your structures? He could have kept it going another 10 minutes at least to hit the hour mark if he was really just dragging it out to be a nuisance.

[@SeriousApache]

This game is absolute masterpiece demonstrating how true StarCraft meant to be played.

[@missmyf85]

It's how I always played as a kid. 1 barracks, 1 factory 1 starport. Do not waste resources building a 2nd one. Then just wait 45 mins until you max out and have 1 epic battle at an agreed upon location.

[@comod]

The scv battle was like a unnecassary brawl after a party with too much alcohol 😂

[@Pfasma5]

Very entertaining….I remember playing like this when I started…..just terrified to move out, but know I needed to attack…..memories!!

[@nrxia]

Was this a bad game? Yes, it was quite awful. Should you have actually posted this, Lowko? Yes, I'm glad you shared this cast. The game may have been awful, but the video was still very entertaining. Keep it up! One day I hope to embarrass myself in one of these tournaments. And I've never even played the game at this point.

[@HereComesVibee]

Great cooking vid. Specially loved the part where TacoEmissary repeatedly sends units through a meat grinder. Now I know how to slow cook a Terran army (with my brain as a side dish)

[@NightmareSyndrom]

What really gets me the most about this match; is that, despite going on for around 50 minutes and Taco mined most of the map, Taco still didn't have 3/3 for bio *or* mech by the end of it.

[@elliotlea5457]

18:35 Hatterwog said "Imagine you're casting this in 20 minutes" lmao

[@Lucarioux]

I've never felt so much pain watching a sc2 match

[@masony2680]

short break had me dying! The community & commentary were the best

[@Ariescz]

Lowko quietly (and not so quietly) suffering during these games is so hilarious to watch. I appreciate the sacrifice to bring us such entertainment

[@RobCanadian1]

More of these please, this was absolutely incredible to watch, and not only that, it relieved some of my ladder anxiety because for *&$#'s sake if these guys can make it to gold, surely I can make it to diamond XD

[@lautlos3]

Gotta say, this was some top notch entertainment, listening to Lowko slowly but very surely losing his sanity while making food for the next day. Haven't seen more than 5 minutes of the actual match but still enjoyed every second of it.

[@LostOnceLefthanded]

Can't believe Lowko didn't look at the apm tab a single time during that match. I really really wanted to see if the purple was still there or just delaying the tournament on purpose.

[@Naxian222]

I lost it with the “short break” pause lmao

Lowko, when you cut to see what Lovesonq was doing and he was micro'ing the scv 1v1 on the other side of the map I about died.

[@infested4494]

I didn’t have to micro the SCV battle - a line of SCVs attacking with a line of repairing SCVs behind them. After that, I was just watching the SCV battle and also whilst Taco was sending more stuff into my siege tanks.

We need the torture cup! An award not for winning, but for the pair who tortures the casters the most!

The way Taco was playing reminds me of the trenches during the WW1, lets send a charge into my enemy's arty if that fails send another charge.

A 30 minute drive in The Netherlands is totally different than a 30 minute drive in Houston. LOL. I've been to the McDonald's in Maastricht, and I believe in Schinnen when I lived in Belgium. It's a much better experience than in the US, for sure. Keep up the great streams!

[@leila13dnd]

The "short break" killed me.

[@algroc2929]

That was literally like WW1 with the meat grinder of marines vs artillery over and over

[@detectiverohan]

40:35 Taco marine commander on loudspeaker: "Attention Lovesonq forces. You are surrounded. We're destroying your last remaining siege tanks. Surrender now, and you will be allowed to live. Lovesonq: No! We'll NEVER give up! Taco marine commander: We have battlecruisers. Lovesonq: **hands up immediately** holy shxt!! Alright Alright! We surrender! Jeez bro, chill! gg! GG!

[@doubtingtom92]

Stuff like this makes me feel like I could actually play StarCraft on the ladder. Like, this is for real a Gold level match?

[@diogorosa4601]

me too since the games got out i only played singleplayer campaigh on hardest diff afraid of sucking to much on multiplayer XD

[@maciejrozanski154]

Doesnt look like gold tbh, but it is not as hard as it seems, if you watched lowko for some time and won campaign on hardest you should be just fine, i was surprised how good i was thanks to just watching these games, getting used to simple keybidings and group selection takes time, but with weaker players you can be fine even with just a mouse.

[@diogorosa4601]

True that and tbh i don't remeber how long i see lowko and and being a fan boy of sc games i will maybe just start going to multiplayer matches and never know i might end up on one of lowko videos and be praised haha or worst case i will end up on lowko video of definitly worst match haha

[@infested4494]

I can’t remember exactly, but I (purple) was either gold or plat (with Zerg, not Terran).

[@ay_ay_rqn]

i had to leave for table tennis in the middle of watching this video but i probably could've let it kept playing and still come back to the same situation

"Forgetting the A in A-move" was the best comment ever. Kudos.

DO NOT GO TO TACO BELL, It is a terrible excuse for fast food, there are waaaaaay better options than Taco Bell

Do not go out of your way for Taco Bell. It's what you eat at 2am because that's all that's open.

(they did not) 20:48 Game Paused for short break - this game is stressful! 21:51 Lowko is an optimist. 22:15 Evasive maneuvers, drift slightly to the left! 23:00 SCV brawl! 25:15 FINALLY! 25:48 Efficiency not required.
