that last baneling landmine hat Scarlett vs Bomber vibes :D

[@ThePaceMaker127]

Like a deadly green landmine, mine.

[@MrErizid]

@@ThePaceMaker127 Such a shame that KZbin basically stole all of Husky's work.

[@antineutral]

I hate that the box around Reynor is blue but his in game colour is red. Aside from that, fantastic casting!

[@martingonzalez7091]

ayo i didnt know raynor was jacked liked that

[@orsonpeters]

Forreal, my mental image of cute babyface 16-year old Reynor was shattered when I saw chad buff Reynor in the facecam.

[@shinyespeon3995]

That muscular augment upgrade really paying off

[@chrisenvelope8985]

18:26 that was a Scarlett vs Bomber moment again, beautiful play

[@DankGank]

That first match was absolutely masterful

[@badtiming2208]

Safe to say, that last explosion was the best part lol

[@MeMe-od3ow]

The Defend in game 2 was pretty good doe

[@tropicalterrarium1742]

refreshing to get a title without a total spoiler but still gives you some detail :D

[@zeejustin6]

I mean I'd like to see an awesome reaper rush if that's in the title tbh.

[@leventetardi8760]

Right from the get go, you know it's Lowko

[@thecieje3418]

MASS REAPER. I was kind of hoping for it to be more relevant 😅 hate to see the anticlimactic engagrment

[@peterjansen4826]

Lowko does the commentary? Didn't see that coming.

[@bsiah9073]

hahaha IkR, i think hes better when he does his own commentary but not a live one. Not so flexible and spontaneous, but more of a script commentary i would say.

[@torstenpowers]

He’s been commentating circuit premiers for a while mate, even did Katowice this year..

[@zinowagner]

@@torstenpowers trust me bro

[@krispywater]

Bro someone allow them to adjust their monitor heights. My neck hurts watching reynor looking down

[@mikemikeyee]

It worked for this series no?

[@Erati243]

I was so confused the first half of the first game because the color of the player picture boxes are wrong when compared to the player class color!

[@ericfoltz1979]

They have the colors for Maru and Reynor reversed on their cams lol

[@buzzrot]

Great games with two top players.

[@ultradara]

Great game, great casting. And great video as always.

[@mikemikeyee]

Holy shot that funging gg at the end goddaammnnn

[@Nossral]

After watching these edited videos i cant go back to full games XD

[@zinowagner]

Bro sameee 😂

[@nabusvco]

Damn that landmine was amazing

[@thaneofwinrun7750]

Pretty clickbait title, the 3rd game is the one with the “mass reaper rush” and the rush literally does nothing and Terran transitions out of it at like 6 reapers.

[@commandertex4389]

Amazing series with a sick ending

[@froz3ncat]

The colored borders around the player cams are wrong, right? Raynor on the left with the cap and Maru wearing the green accent jacket?

[@Phoenix7786]

I don't know if it's due to the nature of these bring professional matches, but I just never see the appeal of Liberators. They are so slow and unwieldy they just always seem to be in the wrong place at the wrong time or just don't have enough of an impact.

[@MichaelNatrin]

Fantastic matches

[@Umbra_of_Emberspike]

Finally, a relive of the Scarlett vs Bomber game-ending baneling surprise. And just like last time, they weren't even acknowledged by the casters until after they detonated. Double bonus.

[@riotguy3117]

the reach around from the rear

[@DoomShteed]

I got about 4 minutes in before I realized I wasn't watching a lowko video 😅 I should've known better as lowko always Introduces the players

[@lifeforanime8271]

the color on the facecams is wrong on Game 2 marus shown as red while being blue

[@Chris971.]

Reynor looking very swole here

[@ashleyalexander7388]

great

[@Josh-99]

Lowko casting these is a real treat.

[@ShraSsful]

please can you upgrade your vid in 1440P?

[@Mike-oz4cv]

Reynor’s screen is so low, it makes my neck hurt.

[@fabianbandaiii3304]

That one baneling won it all

[@elgato9o]

another loss that could have easily been prevented with a raven

[@AXALRZ]

5:27 Maru has zero expression during the battle and chaos. True champion

[@jahrazzjahrazz8858]

watching pros who show their emotions is 10x more exciting

[@darkone12491]

hi

[@Kragh50]

Loved the video but the title is kind of misleading

[@SC2HL]

Got suggestions for a better one? Always happy with feedback

[@somniworld8104]

Reynor's MASS EFFECT 3

[@Kragh50]

@@SC2HL Considering every game has been a 2 or 3 Barracks all-in I'd have used something like that. Title is ok, it's just that I expected more than 7 reapers for a "Mass Reaper Rush" or at least that it would do something.

[@Marioinsydney]

@@SC2HL REYNOR PULLS a Scarlett Vs Bomber. This title is more accurate, more clickbaity, more hype, and it even has the CAPS then lowercaps style that pulls more views

[@ultradara]

​@@Marioinsydney and a big spoiler

[@Nilwem]

It'd be nice to stop splitting the game in the loading bar to stop getting spoiled

[@wrestlingfan1232]

quite misleading title, that's not reapers rush, that's rushing out 6-7 reapers and doing nothing

[@rachelefeighan2797]

*PromoSM* 😓

[@m.lebedev1493]

I don't really like baneling landmines. They involve way too much luck. For exemple widow-mines are visible even when buried, with enough training one can really spot them consistently same with all other invisible units. Banelings however are completely invisible, there is no real skill one can train to counter them.

[@michaelorange4879]

baneling landmines have to be automatically detonated. They also aren't ranged like widow mines which can take down an oracle in one hit and a pack of mutas in two. They also sacrifice themselves for the kill where widow mines do not.

[@m.lebedev1493]

@@michaelorange4879 I'm not saying burrowed banelings are imbalanced. I'm just saying the game mechanic sucks. It's like a game of roulette (mind you it does require a lot of skill from the Zerg player) you hope Terran doesn't accidentally scan it. And Terran hopes to accidentally scan it. Potential redesigns could be to make burrowed banelings have bigger splash but be visible on the ground (don't have to be as visible as Widow mines)

[@pie6088]

why was game 2 a surrender? Zerg player looked like he couldve defended against those marines.

[@Kragh50]

The Terran surrendered, not the Zerg.

[@tomsetberg4746]

They really should just remove Terran from the game so people stop wasting time pretending its a viable race.

[@aufkeinsen]

mass reaper build? this is clickbait -> thumbs down

[@miked3723]

Pig should be embarrassed. He called the entire series as if Maru had already won and every move Reynor made was wrong. The absolute disrespect is astounding. He should stick to calling Florencio matches that are a little more in his league and he can actually understand what is going on.

[@missbelled6700]

?

[@momom6197]

In his defence, the last game was pretty close until the end, and you know what they say: against Maru, when you're even, he is ahead.

[@iambrett333]

chill bro

[@miked3723]

@@momom6197 Maybe in Korea, but Maru has a long history of choking on the international stage, ie he has never won a world championship. And when going against someone who has won a world championship and consistently beats Maru in tournaments it just felt like bad announcing.

[@SaltySalmon55]

@@miked3723 Actually Maru has a much better record against Reynor than vice versa. Check Aligulac.

[@ferentcristian6455]

Is one of the comentators Lowko? sounds oddly familiar with him.

[@Sexymame]

raynor embush maru!!! coool!

[@bsiah9073]

16:00 lol wtf is with that sound effect @LowkoTv

[@analnydegustator9522]

Why is player base so low nowadays? What can be done to make it better and why blizzard doesn't give sht about it?
