[@dayeet267]

When is this during the video?

[@colts8146]

My two favorites by far are Maru and Serral going into Katowice, They both have looked near unstoppable

[@tigera6]

Yeah, I just hope that Rogue wont just show up and murder everyone and win the most boring fashion possible.

[@CredenzioStudios]

@@tigera6 rogues wins are war more exciting than serrals IMO. Rogue mixes in cheeses and heavy aggression, Serral just plays perfect and boring to my taste. Something about the rogue wildcard is way more interesting to me.

15:02 LOOK AT THE GLOATING, he made his lurker do a 360 before attacking

36:30 the journey of the drones all the way through Byun's side of the map...Yep Serral is playing with his food lol

Ghost division from Sabaton makes reference to the 7th panzer division that fought in the battle of France. Commandered by Erwin Rommel,it moved so fast that even the german generals didnt now its exact location, hence the nickname ghost division

[@phsycresconquest6636]

I've seen a lot of games where Byun is the predator... against the King of Blades he is food. Food to be toyed with before it gets killed. Where did it go wrong for Byun? When he clicked on that first SCV.

@@smackinbaits6693 ByuN had the most success against Serral in 2017. The last 3 sets they played Serral won pretty dominantly. And I was commenting on this set only, I agree that he has more chance than most against Serral and your 30% might be correct.

[@thegerns]

[@clopes87]

You need to bring back your "hellowww my name is Lowkooo" intro. It rhymed and was catchy

[@rthiago1]

I always giggle when Lowko calls Byun "Micro Jackson" :D

[@joeaverage9772]

Since Byun is called out in the thumbnail, I’m guessing he lost

[@xitaris5981]

That does seem to be the pattern

[@AntiJovial]

Does it bother anyone else, as bad as it does me, that you cannot see the resources per minute with this type of replay? Every time I watch one of these being cast, I feel like I'm blind in one eye. I guess I never realized how heavily I relief on the resources per minute stat until @LowkoTV showed these types of replays.

[@WhooptyDoo]

Hot take: "Greatest" SC2 player is not the one who wins the most, but one whose playstyle is the most diverse and fun to watch

[@TheFelmaster]

Yay! A Sabaton reference! I got you Lowko ;)

Working an early morning shift means I get to come home to a fresh Lowko upload

[@ayehtunohn]

"All around me there are familiar faces...." X)

[@yonahl2203]

Lowko, thought for adding some spice into the SC2 meta - what would you think if +4/+4 was added into the game ONLY for one tech tree. For example, if you first upgrade infantry +1/+1 then infantry +4/+4 will be available later in the game, but mech and air still capped at +3/+3. Just a thought

[@xitaris5981]

meh, you'd really have to give up any early game pressure to get +4/+4 for air upgrades, so it'd likely just result in basic tier units being stronger. Do we really need Marines obliterating Ultralisks faster than they already do?

[@Favorites920]

I do not play this game very often but I do watch it all the time. That being said, the fact that Zerg can go from 160 supply to 199 supply in 10 seconds by queing up 94 lings and 44 banelings is quite rediculous. I do know that Terran wins sometimes but I don't see how they could win consistently. Particularly in a longer macro game from the pros.I truthfully think Zerg late game is insanely IMBA. Yes I suck but still Zerg has a counter to everything just via quantity.

[@fnglert]

That type of production can only happen when there are enough larva available, and those have a set spawn time and a max number available per hatchery. The only way you get such large numbers of units on demand is by not building units for some time to let the reserve of larva build.

[@mrbaya2191]

I went and watched one of your old vids just to hear you try and pronounce jagannatha. Miss that map

[@lemonaj4408]

@@siac888 well that's not the point of what we were talking about. You can guess before the start and, you still have a chance to be wrong. When the game comes to a point where Serral has a bank and opponent doesn't, it is for certain.

@@RocZi Iv'e only seen MAru be able to turn that situation around against Serral. He is in his own tier when it comes to terran and Starcraft in general.

[@talscorner3696]

Of course I know that Sabaton song! I believe I already listened to them when it was published...

[@apeist]

Watching Byun is kind of sad now. When he came back to the scene last year he was looking fierce for a little while, but now his play is looking sloppy. His micro isn't nearly as quick and precise as it was, which means he isn't able to get the value out of his units that he so desperately needs to make his aggressive style work. He doesn't have high-level macro to fall back on, and his ability to expand beyond three bases is directly related to the success of his mid-game pressure. Sucks to see him get suffocated on three bases over and over.

[@MadMan-7978]

I agree, hits home sad and hard

[@Andreas-mr6wc]

maybe its because of wrist issues?

[@apeist]

@@Andreas-mr6wc Probably a factor.

[@MadMan-7978]

@@Andreas-mr6wc most likely that and his age. I think we didn’t mean to imply he’s to blame its just the nature of things

[@googane7755]

Byun has been having a lot wrist issues, actually all of the older terrans have and it's something that just gets worse overtime. You can see it in this game too, he wasn't on point with his micro like he usually is and I feel like he could've edged out an advantage in the last game if he just controlled his initial marines better. I think he just wants to end the game early because he doesn't want a drawn out game and not necessarily because he's gotten worse as a player.

[@seraphiellopes6993]

Lowko have very good music taste

[@gontrantbrabant6270]

[@yomama8935]

Serial is a monster, but when it comes to the GOAT Maru takes the prize imo

[@MrElgate]

Nobody poiting out the amazing pun "Micro Jackson" at the beginning? really?

[@savagerodent7533]

I'm surprised we never see zerg attack the main with a drop quickly followed by a nydus for reinforcements and/or retreat. once there are a few lurkers covering the ramp into the main, the defenders will have to pay through the teeth to retake it, or lose precious time removing the lurkers first.

[@SoulCrapper]

Its simply a matter of having to spend your attention to do it. Not to mention Zerg overlord drops can be picked off pretty easily so its a big risk if they see it coming and it might only work once get cleaned up and then they know you might do it again so its even riskier the second time. Most of the time its better to just focus on swallowing the map with creep and expansions. Fight their army on your terms and keep their eco contained by denying 4rth and fifth bases so that every time you trade armies you still have a bank and they're pinching every penny to remax their army. Zerg strengths lie elsewhere. Quick drops into the main base are something Protoss and Terran are much better at executing. Usually when Zerg drops its a one way trip. Theres typically no evac gonna happen so moreof tn than not your throwing away units and not doing significant damage. The nydus as a retreat is an interesting method but its still not as reliable as medivac boosting out of there. There was a time where nydus was much better but it has since been nerfed.

[@dereklamont8998]

Micro Jackson, nice!

[@johnwrath3612]

Can we stop repeating this myth that Byun is the sole reason that reapers got nerfed? Just because Artosis says something doesn’t make it gospel truth. I remember lots of other pros using reaper openings very well, uthermal in particular stands out. Even in low masters on the NA ladder, I remember seeing tons of hyper aggressive reaper openings that lead to many pretty easy tempo victories. It was overpowered across multiple levels of play. Byun was definitely the best, and made it look super broken. But it was too strong across the board.
