I LOVE CATTLEBRUISERS. THEY BEAT BATTLECRUISERS

[@HernanCortes-ko3yi]

Their Camato Yannon needs a nerf

[@nigmaxus]

You mean they teab battlecrusiers

[@IcariumGaming]

​@@LJTTYTYou really needed the second comment of jk?

[@awrawrwar]

28:15 I think the decision to make a command center is a striking example of Maru's absolute confidence that you mentioned earlier. The man is so confident he can deflect this fight that he's prepared for what comes beyond, and spent 400 minerals on a CC that won't immediately help him in this crisis.

[@kommisar.]

True, but in all fairness, he probably had a bunch of minerals floating that he couldn't spend given his lack of production.

[@Zephyranthes-23]

I can't imagine 20+ cattlebruisers in a single area, that's quite a lot of beef.

[@sommerkjrbo681]

That first game was like a campaign mission, You must hold the line until the Armada arrives. Then you proceed to demolish your opponents 😂 love it

[@bramfokke1460]

Although I have played some StarCraft 2 like 15 years ago, I am new to watching matches. I am slowly beginning to understand what is going on. It is just amazing how much happens simultaneously and how much depth there is to these matches. Watching Maru is a pleasure. He reminds me AlphaGo the first AI to ever beat the best human Go players. Both seem to have a very precise grasp of not just how to win a battle, but what is *exactly* enough to win it, so the rest of the resources/attention can go elsewhere. Truly amazing to behold.

[@zen6601]

35:00 I get it Lowko. I think it’s because we grew up with StarCraft. And since both buildings give the beefy units, Battlecruiser and Carrier, our mind associates them interchangeably. 😂

[@catbert7]

28:15: Wow, that was a crazy good fight for Maru. 59:45: Really looked like Maru was gonna pincer Gum's army here. Sieging the reinforcing Tank and going in on it would have been great. Instead, he let himself be pincered. 1:02:15: Targeting the Tank there would have killed sooo many SCVs. 1:02:57: Gumi sending in the SCVs before his Tanks were ready was... a decision.

[@TubeTAG]

You never fight Maru with his back against the wall. Then Maru only has to fight in one direction.

[@SVSky]

[@tackion5371]

Imagine if Medivacs could still pick up sieged up tanks

[@Candle45]

Wait, they can't now?😮

[@IcariumGaming]

I think it would be severely unfair, but I could see a medivac lifting a sieged tank like they do a thor.

[@caelestigladii]

@@IcariumGamingIt was a thing in the past. And yes, it was severely overpowered. There are still videos of it here in yt. Edit: And yes, it was like lifting a thor.

[@dafeederz]

They nerfd terran so serral can dominate over maru

[@rolfnoduk]

imagine if they could pick up Medivacs!

[@sharna0814]

Wait, is it just me or am I the only one enjoy watching Zerg versus Zerg here? Especially those include early game rush defending and countering. 🤔 Great cast as always, Lowko. Keep up the good work.

[@PhysicsGamer]

Those early anti-armor missiles in that first game were shockingly synergistic with the battlecruisers - which makes sense, given how fast they fire, but still. Wow.

[@aua1018]

and something i rarely sees in theses pro gamers game, is repairs !!! and Maru done it sooooo many times ^^. Big fan for that.

[@2Sor2Fig]

I love it when he does the thing... Would have still watched because Lowko's good any day.

[@drakedagreat3271]

Cant click away from Maru dude is a monster ever since I saw him setup a triple pronged attack I was hooked lol

[@txopin]

I'm surprised to hear everytime that there's less viewers for mirror matchups, I wonder why is it so... This was a uberBANGER of a game. And, as for the game itself... Well, it was just Maru playing with his food. Seems like he knows how to play and Gumi is a noob. This just puts Serral in perspective. Absolutely amazing game. Thanks, Lowko!

[@oshawott4544]

It might be because they think it's boring, or because they want to watch their favorite faction. But I don't know.

[@irrelevantfish1978]

​@@oshawott4544 Oppressive/uninteresting metas do seem to crop up a bit more often in mirror match-ups, giving them a reputation for being less varied and having more-abrupt, less-satisfying conclusions. They also tend to be subtler and more technical, requiring deeper knowledge of that faction's mechanics and units in order to appreciate and making them less accessible for more casual or faction-focused viewers. Having said that, the mirror match-ups are usually just as varied and easy to follow, and even when they aren't, there are still bangers amidst the bleh. I mean, at the most recent Katowice, the "Cyclone Wars" meta broke TvT enough that even the commentators were complaining, but there was still a couple incredibly entertaining series in there.

[@Peter-hx3im]

I think some people watch more Zerg videos, some people watch more Terran videos, and some people watch more Protos videos. So, when it is ZvT it gets the Zerg fans and Terran fans, but TvT just gets the Terran fans.

[@Jojakin]

Maru making 6 Depots and is still supplyblocked

[@kommisar.]

I had that happen to me in a game where I was base trading and lost all, and I do mean all, my SCV's. I still had some production buildings as well as an Orbital left but I couldn't make a single unit because all my Supply Depots got destroyed and I was supply blocked. The only thing you can do then is to sacrifice army in order to pump out an SCV to then build a Depot, but obviously I couldn't do that.

[@tacogrande4026]

Im a simple man. I see Battle Cruisers in lowkos thumbnail, I watch

[@TheScalysnake]

Still Love your into Lowko, watch you every day love the content , keep it going.

[@alexandrebrochu4265]

Don't understand why people stop watching because of a mirror match. It's not like you're posting mirror match all the time, just one once in a while and I like it form time to time.

[@Owlr4ider]

To be fair, Maru has also played his fair share of 'unique' builds, he's not at all a stock standard Terran like say Innovation or more currently Clem or Cure. He's not as innovative as Gumiho of course but he does pull the occasional rabbit out of his hat every now and than.

[@michaelhellwig421]

I'm sure he has, but personally I have never seen Maru loose a TvT! He knows the science of terran! It's very impressive!

[@aguynamedtriton]

*Hyperventilates* he....he did the thing!!!

[@meander112]

We are blessed!

[@arthurfraco2970]

With no onterruptions. A pristine opening. 😊

[@StarboyXL9]

Honestly I like it better this way. Just like when every Vtuber does an "ara ara" it gets stale if it happens everytime. This way its like playing the lottery, you never know when you're just going to win.

[@Y0G0FU]

Battlecruisers are one of the most "Deathbally" units in the game. If you reach Critical Mass its incredibly hard to loose. Just getting to Critical Mass is extremely hard because they take ages to build and cost ALOT

[@Owlr4ider]

@LowkoTV in game 2 you kept saying 'reproduction', were you trying to tell us something? Are you following in Dark's footsteps and bringing little Lowko into this world soon? 😂😂😂

[@QuentinB20]

Fun video ! Thanks a bunch for casting !

[@s.zapata7285]

i love mirror match ups especially for zerg!! i love seeing the creep take over the entire map

[@pauloazuela8488]

It's just like watching an infestation take over literally since they're all zergs it looks like an ant colony war irl

[@Spartsou]

ooooh! not GuMiho but Maru goes battlecruisers?!? also, an hour?! *this is going to be good* Thanks for casting this, Simon!

[@LilMidgeto524]

Im a simple man: lowko drops a video, i like the video (i dont mind mirror match ups!) and when its with the intro i INSTANT like🙏🏽🙏🏽 keep it going lowko!

[@yamilabugattas3895]

While mirror matches may not be the most popular, I think it's great to see some games from time to time. Plus TvT between top players can get really intense.

[@katherinek6166]

TvT is one of my favorite matchups. It could be a side effect of knowing Terrain units so much better, but it feels like it allows for a lot more variation that is viable at high end play.

[@jommsnow]

TvT reminds of the Terran campaign back in the Original Starcraft. I blink once and I lose all my marines to siege tanks especially in the last mission.

[@Reliquarium]

TvT! YES! Gimme more mirror matchups, damnit!

[@kyouma0519]

a yes another example of maru beeing behind for literally over 95% of the game, still defending with 2-3 bases for over half an hour against 6+ base economy, like an absolute mad man and somehow making it look easy. like it was never even close... I would be surprised if he hadn't done this exact thing for literally a decade... that man is so absurdly good, especially in TvT

[@krispiasek6731]

Please do not bruise any cattle, no matter what evil Lowko tells you.

[@lucius8675]

Its funny. I left the video once I saw it was tvt. Later in the day, i forgot and clicked on it again, and I realized it was tvt again. I left the video going while i looked for something else. Then, as i found something else, lowko said people are leaving the video right now. He really knows his audience.

[@catstealer419dominion7]

Great series, my favorite Terran and second favorite Terran going at it

[@DanThaGamer]

Loving the mix of races the last few episodes. This is TvT, last was PvZ and before was PvT. Refreshing

[@mrwolf9095]

Hey Lowko, don’t get me wrong, I love your intro. But if I recall correctly, doesn’t it hurt your throat or something of the sort? I know you’re just appeasing everyone, but you don’t always have to do it. Great cast today though!

[@SuperMontsta]

Dude can record it and just play it whenever he wants. Shouldn't hurt his throat if you're don't a constant catch phrase in a video (love would be different of course)

[@thetabest]

Yeah we won't complain!

[@FahqYou-uu3qw]

Lol

[@alfrebi9639]

Don't worry he actually just uses a soundboard the other week he pressed it mid cast!

[@mrwolf9095]

@@alfrebi9639 oh, thanks for notifying me.

[@celestrius9197]

Fusion core: liberators, bcs, lib range upgrade, Yamato cannon upgrade Fleet beacon: tempests, tempest upgrade, carriers .. Unless i forgot something or an update changed stuff that i don't remember yeah honestly they're pretty much the same building

[@SolusEmsu]

I am honestly a big fan of Sky Terran! If TvT is what it takes to see that, I want more of it! My personal favorite is fast+cloak mass Banshees with some Vikings if I see enemy air. But hey BCs are great too.

[@smizmi5467]

That last game was just such a brutal beatdown

[@jwoodCAD]

Ha, for once I had already liked the video before you said to do so, just as you mentioned how many people click away soon into mirror matches. So this better be a banger! 🤞

[@drewwalbeck6006]

I wish Lowko's whole foray into SC1 had panned out 😢

[@eeriewaffle3938]

HE SAID THE THING

"You wanna dance i'll dance on your face" -maru

[@HyperLuigi37]

oh my god the TO who you can see at 32:23's username is hikawa sayo from bang dream that's a name i never expected to see in starcraft

[@sagara5293]

"When Maru is behind the game is equal, When the game is equal Maru is ahead and When Maru is ahead the game is over" by ???

[@sage4670]

In case you're legitimately asking who said that, either artosis or tasteless a long time ago casting gsl

[@ethanaleman]

Maru my man

[@OGJackmandoo]

Lowko I actually do appreciate you refraining from using profanity. I don’t mind it, personally, but I do like to watch SC2 matches at home while I eat or do dishes etc and have young kids that I prefer not hear foul language on a casual basis at their ages.

[@sc_torayuri]

The way Maru cuts Gumiho’s economic advantage is creative.

[@alexs5814]

amazing games! I almost couldn't decide if i liked #1 or #2 more but in the end, it's the cattlebruisers for the win^^

[@filipdahlberg4420]

Blast to the past. How it’s been missed. Hello lowko

[@mAximUm123451]

I automatically read the title as Cattlebruisers, knowing that it wouldn't be right, i read it again. I was pleasantly surprised

[@steelfaith1992]

I watch any of the matchups, cause i just enjoy LowKo videos, its become a daily thing for me. Please keep up the content!

[@serenity.ventures]

We should just start only liking the videos when he does the intro... that way he has to do it all the time XD

[@DrMJJr]

THIS IS THE WAY…👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Shadow-cl2sn]

''Maru likes his back up against the wall"' 🧐🤨😏

[@TheFrogsmog]

If I had a dollar for every time lowko has said a bit of a banger or called dark q bit of a mad man lol xD

[@user-ts6gg7mx4t]

me see, me see lowko, me see BC, me click, me happy

[@pigzard01]

Cattlebruisers sound like the vanguard ultimate unit in stormgate.

[@vulcan7138]

Aaa the battle cruiser miniature imposible to pass on

[@andrewwood1364]

Next time Clem plays Maru, I want to see that. We saw maxpax beat hero, I wanna see who would win between the Terran GOATs in 2024

[@utadahikaru1784]

I love it that you use Ur Old intro

[@SarumanDeWhite]

Maru’s decision-making + his Mo face.

[@Mikivericks]

Thanks for the video, Lowko. Cattlebruisers really “moo”ve across the map rather menacingly. ❤

[@IcariumGaming]

🤦‍♂️

[@denteres]

Wow second game was amazing!! Maru is for sure top 3 in the world!!

[@juangarcia1046]

Maru could make an army of reapers against mutas and still win.

[@titimtitim9465]

We need more mirror matchup !

[@Bookqoutes_]

Classic lowko intro love it!

[@ferencuj690]

I swear to god pro players just play battlecruisers for the sole reason that lowko can clickbait me with them

[@Kazuhiro-i]

Game 1 was amazing go see maru started behind like 5 seconds 😂 I wonder if that will matter later on

[@yttriustelluri]

If you want to see more Maru battlecruisers, see the semifinals from GSL.

[@MonsieurBro]

80% of the time spent in this series was in just 2 games; Maru will never give up...

[@Cd-xy9no]

Hey lowko have you thought about doing a podcast and interview the pro players ? I understand they across world maybe do online zoom style I’d love to hear what pros themselfs think about game and there views how they play

[@GlowStickProductions]

He did the thing!

[@arvinjancruz5175]

great series!

[@jason41a]

i thought it was gonna be gummyhoe with the battlecruisers to be honest lol

[@121Corey121]

Hellooo Everryyonee My Name is Lowkooo! (Watched for years, I still love it.)

[@Y0G0FU]

Terran Mech vs Terran Sky.. never thought i would see that day :p

[@troelsdc]

I live for TvT and to have Gumi going up against Maru is just cream on top.

[@kommisar.]

Can anyone explain why in game 2 Gumi didn't just make a few SCV's from the Orbital he saved in his main and just remake his production there? He had lots and lots of money and was only building them in one spot at a time. That didn't make any sense.

[@kenleywade4264]

Hahaha there you go again, yeppers my kids are running around while I watch on the living room TV 😂🤣😂🤣 Just do like I do, I say muthasucka 😂🤣

[@chrisschumacher856]

What a game!

[@itsmejohnyt3696]

When i watch mirror match up i’ll just gonna thinks its Raynor vs Mengsk for TvT. Artanis vs Alarak for PvP and Kerigan vs Amon on ZvZ

[@tuzph8625]

Im not a fan of mirror specially TvT but i saw Battle cruiser so.... here i am. 😂

While i dont like zvz or pvp i do love tvt. Terran mirror matches are the best of the 3 to me

[@panzerschliffehohenzollern4863]

Cattlebruiser? So a shock baton then?

[@a.e.richardson218]

I feel like +1 bc armor could make BC late game viable in tvt against bio

[@bloodydove5718]

I actually enjoy mirror matchups. IMO when they dont end in the first 5 mins, they're usually good; I dont know about anyone else, but I muuuuchh rather watch mirror matchup than bronze league heroes

[@En-Jon-eer]

I personally prefer bronze league heroes as long as we haven't seen that in a while, if it was every day I'd prefer a mirror match up. I especially like bronze league heroes it when it brings out snarky Lowko.

[@You-ul8qw]

HELLLOOO LOWKO I LOVE THIS INTROO

[@natesky6603]

hear me out - cloaked siege tanks. Once they start firing, they lose their cloaking. I just want to see what kind of chaos this could cause

BCs maybe strong, but they got nothing on Viper's abduct.

[@tldrq2456]

why is Maru bruising cattle? Pre tenderizing?

[@juztina7346]

terran vs terran?? noooo i take it back.. is super interesting to see maru come back from lost

[@kommisar.]

You should watch all his TvT's because more often than not there is usually at least one game in the series where he makes some ridiculous comeback. I'm like 95% sure he did that in one of his games in the semis against Cure in the last GSL he won.

[@youngsix6teen391]

lets gooo ive been waiting so long for a TvT
