SpeCial's 100+ CYCLONES vs Elazer! (StarCraft 2)

[@miles8385]

31:00 I think the reason they used "Hurricane" in the name of the upgrade is because in meteorology a Tropical Cyclone becomes a Hurricane when it reaches sustained winds of 74mph (119kph), so using "Hurricane" in the name of an upgrade to the speed of a Cyclone totally makes sense.

The terrans benefit tremendously in terms of resources. Thanks to MULE, I spend less resources on SCV and only have 1 type of mechanic shield-up, so there is a lot of resource benefit The scanning range is also very wide. Blizzard have to block the Battle Cruiser for 5 seconds from using the Yamato Cannon and Tactical Jump LIBERATOR & Ghost Sniper so OOOOOOPPPPPP. On the other hand, Protoss & Zerg need to invest more in ground and air defense upgrades respectively Even Zerg & Protoss defense towers cannot recover resources, but Terran has another resource benefit with the bunker recovery function In terms of resources, Protoss & Zerg are at a huge disadvantage overall The zerg is still garbage INFESTOR skill Deleted but Ghost skill always Nondeleted!!! WTH! Zerg units are expensive to upgrade and take a long time to complete The tech building is also expensive, but you have to invest 50 more minerals called drones there and pay 50 minerals again to produce the lost drone Are the zerg a cheap tribe?

I thought it had more to do with the fact of which Hemisphere you were on. In Australia, we don't go "oh, it's now a hurricane." It's simply a category 1 through to 5 Cyclone.

@@thermiteturtle3486 It honestly makes sense to me, speaking as a Gold-league hero who only plays campaign and co-op. Hellion is mobile light harassment unit, Siege Tank is heavy anti-ground siege unit, Thor is the heavy anti-air siege unit. The logical remaining niche left in the Terran ground forces is an all-rounder that can support the others, and that's what the Goliath was.

I'm sure this was probably commented before, but the Cyclone upgrade, Hurricane thrusters, may be named that way because when a Cyclone reaches a certain wind speed, it becomes classified as a Hurricane. I think the name of the upgrade is clever.

In the 4th game, once Special had the medivac upgrade, there where no empty or almost empty medivacs around. All had at least half energy, even in fights, the energy didnt really drop under 50%. I think otherwise, Special would have lost the last encounter and the game too.

[@IcariumGaming]

I am hoping you can give me an answer for this but based on the patch notes they made it that a widow mine can burrow and unburrow twice as fast. If you read the tooltip for the upgrade, it reads that it now burrows and unburrows twice as fast. However previously the upgrade increased the activation of the widow mine by twice the speed. Wouldn't that make it a nerf to explosive gameplay, but a buff to survivability? Or was the activation speed hard baked in with the new patch?

Im not exactly sure. Ultimately the change seems to be minor and not really impactful at all.

Actually yes, "cent-tri-fugal" is the correct pronunciation; it's a reference to centrifugal force, which is basically the force exerted on an object when it rotates. Like when you work a blender and the stuff begins rising up on the sides? That's centrifugal force. Baneling upgrade is called that because, well, it makes them roll.

[@Dallows65]

Centrifugal force isn’t real. It’s just centripetal acceleration and force. The name of the upgrade is just so dumb.

[@Aerxis]

​​@@Dallows65centrifugal forces don't exist in inertial frames of reference, but they do exist in non-inertial ones. Also, centrifugal by itself is a word (that which moves away from a center), centrifugal phenomena exist even if we were to believe centrifugal forces don't. If the hooks are oriented away from the baneling's center, then they are centrifugal hooks, and the concept of "centrifugal force" has nothing to do with it.

[@Dallows65]

@@Aerxis … I guess. I was taught that centrifugal ‘force’ was a misconception in the same way that ‘suction’ was. In that, there is no ‘suction’, as it’s just negative pressure.

[@Aerxis]

@@Dallows65 and your teacher did the right thing. To learn properly it is often convenient to simplify stuff even if it reduces the thing being learned to a lie. You can always clarify and specify later. If a student gets the idea that a centrifugal force is usually caused by acceleration, that student teacher combo gets an A, according to me at least.

And the irony is that Protoss, the race that's supposed to be more defensive, is still somehow always the initial aggressor race...in the game franchise that coined the term "Zerg Rush". And with double irony, now Zerg takes the longest to mount an opening offensive.

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

​@@joshuakim5240right!?! Zerg takes like 8-12min to get flying units to harass with by "rushing" for flying or 10-15min to get good siege units... meanwhile Terran gets easy access to 2 siege units and 3 flying units by the 5-6min mark... and Protoss can get out very strong flying units in the same timeframe as Terran. Then let's also not forget that Zergs only unit able to shoot up early on is the queen and they are kinda trash unless in mass quantities and even hydras are garbage and take way too long to get units that can shoot up... one of Terrans first units available can shoot up and is stupid strong throughout the whole game, and protoss also gets stupid powerful shoot up units before the 5min mark that are also super strong throughout the whole game... Literally the only time I ever see Zerg truly steamroll and opponent with little effort is Serral or the other top 5 zerg players playing their opponent and punishing hard... but most of the time I see zerg get rolled hard by Terran and protoss with early game units in the mid/late game with little effort.

[@TheSimianDeity]

There's some stiff competition for the worst take on this patch, but you win, sir. Terrans got slower and Zerg got faster. Blue Flame no longer 1-shots Lings. Siege Tanks remain the lynchpin of every Terran mid-to-late-game, and here you are complaining that Terran got too fast. Bravo, sir!

Cyclone looks really strong early on but when you start to mass them in the mid game it seems they lack the range for the cyclone in the back of the pack to actually connect with their target? There is a bunch of instances where only the front cyclone were shooting? Interested to see how they will pan out!

[@SD-jf7nb]

Yes they stack horizontally, side by side, rather than vertically, right on top of each other like air, and so each successive row behind the first has it's range reduced by virtue of being physically blocked by the unit in front of it. All ground units basically exhibit similar stacking issues which can be mitigated in various ways; blink, stutter step, simply making fewer, etc. Not sure what the actuality here is, 5 or 3 deep or whatever, if the front line is held immobile, but in numbers they look pretty weak actually, from this example, stacking may be part of it, I think they're just bulky, and die quickly to biles. They look way stronger in smaller numbers, in fast, aggressive, early mech play. Queen speedling into roach av looked doable anyway, but it's going to make that reaper\clone really scary.

Hear me out… I think Muta-Ling-Bane is viable against those Cyclones in game two. Elazer stayed on Zergling and survived for a bit, but then added roaches. He needed mobility. Keep the Mutas away from the cyclones, do a ton of damage, and force the Terran to deal with it, then you’ll find yourself facing a more familiar unit comp.

[@timmothyburke]

Should have called them stud cheek thrusters

[@busTedOaS]

weird tapout in the final game. felt more like a mental win.

[@yannszilagyi]

1 hour of Zerg crying

[@logicomega7]

With the new medivac buffs, why play anything other than bio as a Terran? :-)

[@drewh22]

Because Cyclones are good?

[@FRIESorCHIPS]

The terrans benefit tremendously in terms of resources. Thanks to MULE, I spend less resources on SCV and only have 1 type of mechanic shield-up, so there is a lot of resource benefit The scanning range is also very wide. Blizzard have to block the Battle Cruiser for 5 seconds from using the Yamato Cannon and Tactical Jump LIBERATOR & Ghost Sniper so OOOOOOPPPPPP. On the other hand, Protoss & Zerg need to invest more in ground and air defense upgrades respectively Even Zerg & Protoss defense towers cannot recover resources, but Terran has another resource benefit with the bunker recovery function In terms of resources, Protoss & Zerg are at a huge disadvantage overall The zerg is still garbage INFESTOR skill Deleted but Ghost skill always Nondeleted!!! WTH! Zerg units are expensive to upgrade and take a long time to complete The tech building is also expensive, but you have to invest 50 more minerals called drones there and pay 50 minerals again to produce the lost drone Are the zerg a cheap tribe? Fukshieeeeet. Zerg most expensive and inefficient tribe Zerg adds minerals and gas when transforming units No race is more expensive than the Zerg One last thing on my mind. Terran Cyclone & Battle Cruiser can auto-attack Protoss Phoenix & Carrier can auto-attack Zerg have no such units Blizzard needs to patch these issues quickly nonono, please delete the zerg SC2 only requires Terran and Protoss Blizzard Always just trash balance thank you so much!

So the Cyclone missles also got patched doesn't explode anymore?

[@Twiixq]

it was from frozen thrones the illidan quote :p

[@Joe-Dead]

at a GUESS, the ultralisk burrow speed is to enable a chance to avoid ghost snipes IF there isn't a scan active. as if there is a scan active when the snipe is used burrow won't help, but if snipe is used with no scan active if it can burrowed quickly enough it breaks snipe. though seriously, what terran isn't scanning everything already.

[@danielpirez381]

I love Special so much. Such an out of the box player.

[@TheRyepoog]

@6:43 was the moment i first noticed that Ravens have a little spinny radar dish on their butt. edit** @7:01 it is a spinny donut.

[@derpysean1072]

Cyclone? More like diamondback on steroids.

[@-42-47]

Male Ursadak... Who do I have to bribe to make get some LowCows in SC2?

[@NickTF2]

Feel sorry for the pros, this patch is unplayable unless you play terran LMAO. What the hell were they thinking

[@alexanderjackson7948]

In my family, we pronounce it sen-tri-fyu-gl (the one you don't use).

[@lupep9033]

I've been waiting for days for this video 😅

[@FalconBeetle]

I remember when cyclones used to be produced from reactors before this

[@WolfDragon07]

Realistically, massive units like Ultras should not be allowed to burrow, and burrowed units should get +1 armor.

[@violetvi45]

If this new patch is a glimpse of what's to come, I'm excited for starcraft 2 again! Their armies head-butting the entire game, and the mixing of new unit compositions was refreshing and exciting to watch!

[@LucasMacielPeixoto]

It was Frozen Throne yeah.

[@DaevorTheDevoted]

9:42 NOOO please, don't pull a Wardi on us. He's a great guy, love him to bits and very much appreciate all he's done for SC2, but we come here for game casting, not narrating.

[@user-jb2kc8mz2r]

hi lowko, are u gonna make viewer games sometime again or no?

[@timmothyburke]

I think that Loko is just afraid that starcraft just got flushed down the drain so he's trying to do damage control. The cyclone is totally broken absolutely f****** broken.

[@AndrewMcCormick-w7k]

hellon cylcone mine woot woot!

[@TheMasterhomaster]

LowKo eats a COUPLE of boogers for breakfast 🍳

[@gubbica99]

Cyclone, for a unit that cost 100/50 and takes only 2 places seems a little too good. Can shoot up/down, move fast, got abilities .... balance team must be only terrans. Wonder how protoss perform against new cyclones now.

[@javaskull]

What is the replay viewer used here? The new cyclone is fine, but the baneling HP nerf and bonus damage loss and damage reduction in infestors is NOT.

[@marshallli3267]

50:55 Still I am hunted Still I am hated 😈

[@javaskull]

Revert the baneling and infestor changes.

[@shamefulbrainbot4742]

Cyclones looking hella suppressive and microable lately

[@rickyleewatts]

Omg yes, finally! Been refreshing waiting for your latest video 😍

[@Krilit]

"Lowko you o funny" *thumb up*

[@dbsouza1]

Infestment! LowKo, you're the best!

[@TritonTv69420]

Dude all i have been playing is cyclone... so annoying!

[@junevue9665]

Hydra and zergling will counter dem fast
