Most people: That's unfortunate. He got caught with his pants down. Lowko: OMG ASTREA ISN'T WEARING PANTS! 😱

[@diomega3805]

I laughed my pants off!

[@DrakeyC]

Actually I HAVE noticed you keep making the same video every day for five years. It's how I created my Lowko Bingo card. Spaces include "explain how wide natural chokes are", "explain why Zerg players take their third as their first expo", "explain why a Protoss player may do a Warp Gate cancel", and "mention how starting position can impact Terran add-on position"

[@CubeItself]

i love how lowko went on standard map design, something i dont actually mind having a lecture on real quick considering i personally do make melee maps sometimes

[@lvo9197]

Astrea vs Scarlett - Hero vs Dark - Maxpax vs Clem = Classic starcraft matchups.

[@flynnwagner9653]

Amen to that. Glad they all play so frequently. Her series versus Astrea are always fun.

[@santeri9149]

​@@DJAKONDATMcame here to check that at least someone here pointed this out already, thanks

[@Yamez226]

Serral vs. The SC2 balance team is another iconic rivalry.

[@Yamez226]

​@DJAKONDATM because her gender has no effect on anyone other than herself; and it takes basically zero effort to refer to her by the gender she identifies as, so why not? 🤷‍♂️

[@titocristobal5573]

Imagine a 2v2v2 from all these players.

[@Markfr0mCanada]

It would be funny if someone skipped to 5 minutes in to "get past the boring bits" only to hear Lowko say "Game #2"

[@putumare4110]

seeing the probes just standing accepting their fate before baneling rolling in is kind of heartbreaking scene

[@Neondler]

Ngl the army at the end was destroyed 76% by disruptors still a good comeback from astrea

[@CouragePope]

Can you somehow make the colors be the ones the players are using the whole video? When you go into player perspective and see that scarlett is red and astrea is green it would be cool to watch a match where it wasn't just blue and red every single time.

[@TailyonDaath]

Scarlett can never seem to finish a round properly against a good player. Every time I watch any of those videos Scarlett gets flustered and loses.

It seems like it's meta now. Kinda cool to see

[@corinwharerau7560]

I just watched his hour long Disruptor video last night. Was sooooo good watching Novas clap non-stop haha

[@kindlin]

That was my first thought as well, I just watched Thermy's game where he was dropping constantly and did the nidus too. (Or was that Harstem? They all share ideas....)

[@martina5328]

From watching Scarlett and Serral play, it seems a difference is that Serral deploys infestor fungal more often... I think Sasha did deploy it against Maru when beating him. Maybe Scarlett should use it more often... You are welcome to tell me that I am an idiot who does not know what I am talking about. It is just an observation by a complete noob...

[@askmitch]

This comment got weird when you mentioned Scarlett's real name. You didn't mention anyone else's real name and that is concerning.

[@Rodrigodrt]

​@@askmitchwhat you talking about mate ?

[@brianabalos4878]

@@askmitch what are you smoking right now?

[@polca4love]

Anyway, infestor + banelings is quite effective. Before the bane nerf it was almost an auto-win against terran. But like terran players withthe ravens, it seems that a lot of zerg players are allergic to infestors.

[@askmitch]

@@Rodrigodrt I'm just saying, tell me any other pro player's real name without googling it

[@GeorgesMarchais2022]

[@kindlin]

It's really not a big deal. If the person has feminine qualities and comes across feminine, does it not make sense to call it how you see it? You can't just be some burly guy with a deep voice that walks around telling everyone to call him Suzy.

[@martina5328]

@@kindlin I agree, it makes sense to call it how you see it. But the woman who looks like a 6 feet heavyweight male boxer, is still a woman to me. I may not like how she looks, but she is still XX, and hence a woman. I do not see why that would be a problem. To me XX is synonym with woman and her, XY is synonym with man and his. What is the problem? Is it bad to be a man? No. Is it bad to be a woman? No. To demand others call you whatever, or to get offended is focusing on external things one cannot control. A persons value has nothing to do with what people call you. Sasha is so cute so you assume female. But I am not sure that is a fair criteria for (demanding a certain) labeling - others are not that cute and feminine. What is the problem if someone is a very pretty and feminine man? ...I do not get it. Why would I call a beautiful catlike dog a cat.. Cats and dogs are equally valuable.

[@martina5328]

@@kindlin By the way, I am a man - if you want to call me "her", go ahead, why would I care. It would be incorrect since I am XY, but so what...?? External things I cannot control, I could not care less. I love Scarlett as a player and as far as I can tell in terms of character and personality. XX or XY is irrelevant, but are equally good.

One comment about the fastforwarding first couple of minutes. Honestly, your videos are huge already, 6 min will not make a big difference in an hour video. Viewers can fastforward if they want to, so if they are watching a whole hour video, I bet they dont care another 6 min. I honestly would rather have full games

Every Scarlett video brings out all the anti-trans folks. Who problem is it to you that someone with feminine traits likes to be called by feminine names? Seems perfectly fine to me. PS: I'm also a guy in a dress, so I am biased, even as I maintain my beard while wearing a dress, and have never tried to be anything but a guy.

[@askmitch]

Literally no one asked

[@kindlin]

@@askmitch Yeah, no one asked to be denigrated for making the choices they make, or expressing themselves the way they feel. As long as it's hurting no one else, who asked you to be the ultimate decider of truth.

[@calineos6770]

These tiny content warning icons in the top right at the start are surely neat. BUT... not starting on the zerg would give the overly squeamish at least a tiny chance to react to the warning before having meat , goo and spiderboys all over their screen! Just, for consistency and all.

[@HaploBartow]

I feel like if someone is watching a StarCraft game they should expect to see Zerg since there's a 33% chance any game will contain them as an entire race, or if you're familiar with the players by name, basically a 100% chance (unless it's Reynor we're watching).

[@calineos6770]

@@HaploBartow Oh absolutely! If they are familiar with Starcraft already, that is. It's just funny to me that the second the trigger warnings appears, the triggering thing is already there. Would be like warning of strobing lights in Cyberpunk only right at the moment a braindance is already starting. "Woops, too late!"

Like they're new abilities, or this is a new game, or his followers are new to SCII?.. I'm worried about him... Too much ativan or adderall (or meth) I think. Just talking to talk at this point..
