StarCraft 2: AGGRESSIVE ZERG SWARMS! (TY vs Armani)

[@eduardofernades1164]

Normal zerg players: gonna play safe till maxed out Armani: so anyway, i started blasting

[@djcj]

LOL

[@AIRDRAC]

Yeah. Other zergs love being maxed out, Armani loves building units. The only way to continuously build more units is to throw them against the enemy as soon as you get near 200 supply :D

[@smithers4420]

hahaha

[@BahadirAcar]

Hope to see more of Armani. More of any underdogs in general actually. :D

[@maxzhu353]

What I see: a terran player What Lowko sees: THE PLANETARY FORTRESS IS A BEAUTIFUL ANCHOR TO FALL BACK TO

[@LevimesterTheOne]

He says that every time. Yet, I have never seen a planetary being attacked and staying alive. It just doesn’t seem to be strong enough for me...

[@rytan4516]

@@LevimesterTheOne That's because pro gamers never attack planetaries unless they can kill it. A noob like me often loses half their army trying to kill a single planetary.

[@cipherElysia]

@@LevimesterTheOne A mid game army can easily destroy a planetary alone, but when it's army vs army + planetary it will be extremely helpful with a massive hp pool and high potential regen due to scv pull and nice ground splash damage. It can distract ranged units and help against swarmy ground stuff

[@ajfish9514]

@@LevimesterTheOne The part you don't see is the 20 times an orbital command would've died to an attack, but the attack never happened because they knew it wouldn't beat the planetary

38:07 "6 Battlecruisers... Look at those bad boys" * zooms on 5 BCs* Made me lol, but there was a 6th somewhere else so not technically wrong just funny.

Wow! Quality content as always. This series is amazing. I also love when Lowko explains things like "you either go double evo or quick bane speed depending on the opponent build" or "3 gases indicate a BC opener", this was entertaining and scholarly.

I would definitely love to see more Armani. I really like his playstyle. I think if I ever played a game against him, I'll see my entire map blinking with red "you're under attack notifications" and just go "There is no hope. We're all doomed."

Imagine this game with infested terrans. Will be very painful to watch. But this one is very balanced. Very strong play by the zerg.

[@LucasSouza023]

Hey Lowko, i just started to play starcraft 2 recently... I just done the terran campaing, and recently doing some 1x1 vs I.A training to go versus players... So since that i started SC2 i watching your videos, and i really love all... Your enthusiasm is so contagious, everyone can see how you love and put your heart in that game. And ain't gonna lie, i falling in love with this game too... So, i have a question: I Will buy the Full game ... But beside the campaings, i get something more from it? Thank you for your videos Lowko, they are made my days those months, there nothing better than see a guy that really loves what are doing, because this bring to us the greatest quallity

[@arcademarine123]

I believe it’s only the campaign now a days maybe custom is locked behind the “paywall” (for lack of a better word) Edit: the campaigns are worth it they are awesome

[@ingrudmessenger1193]

@@arcademarine123 I usually tend to disagree, considering you got 3 equally good and long campaigns with SC1 and 3 more with BW for the price of one campaign in SC2, but... yeah, they're good.

[@arcademarine123]

ingrud messenger they did drop in price tho its 40 for all three now

[@Shushishtok]

In terms of versus (ladder) and the arcade, no, you don't get anything else from buying the full game. But the campaign is extremely fun! Wings of Liberty is a little dull because Blizzard were still experimenting at that point with missions and playstyles, but by Heart of the Swarm they really nailed the fun factor in my opinion, so you get about 60 missions of "oh my god that's amazing" gameplay. A ton of customization to be done on your army as well. Plus, you get Raynor, Kerrigan and Artanis in Co Op thrown in, and let me tell you Co Op is a great mode, especially on the higher levels, so that's something to check out as well.

[@NicholasKramas]

Lowko your commentary is the beat imo. Great pivots, min maxing bandwidth and attention to detail.

[@alexanerose4820]

As a Protoss player, even I have to admit: That first Zerg game was a BEAUTIFUL swarm! IT's like the first time I've seen true Zerg game accurate both to intended design and lore!

[@wowsaclose1747]

I've been meaning to say this since I noticed a few days ago Thank you for uploading in 4k, it really does make a huge difference. It makes perfect sense for the kind of content sc2 is.

[@elbalerto]

Oof. That decapitating strike in game one was just absolutely awesome. Armani hit at the perfect time, gutting TY's economy and production in an instant. It wasn't even a base trade since he was pumping out reinforcements to block off any further attacks.

I'm also still glad that Battlecruisers became a meta build again Lowko, it's nice for Terrans to have a powerful late-game air unit, instead of Thor's being their only doomball unit.

[@kyleecker7684]

i recently played the heart of the swarm campaign and was wondering how the aberration would be in the ladder, especially because they could take the position of ultras since they are meant for the same thing.

[@juanca2807]

I made my custom skirmish maps in Wings of Liberty (first release), added a lot of missing units like the Lurkers and the Aberrations, since their files were just in the dependencies but unused. Trust me, the aberration sucks a long way, their size tend to make each other block their attack line, plus they lack armor, speed and their attack rate is just bad, at the best it is just a middle tier unit like the roaches, unless you seriously buff it. Ultras just need a ram ability and some big area damage added, in the beta times that was the idea, it even had a different attack that did extra dmg against structures.

[@pringlespops]

What does the idle time on the bottom right mean?

[@andyjd_02]

Don't be mad lowko, i skipped 70sec after every game started because i wanted to see the games faster. And i have seen the start over a thousand times.

the diffrence between terran and zerg is that when you play terran you must actually micro when battle in order to make your units survive, while on zerg you just rightclick and you can attack multiple fronts

Hey Lowko, did you get my replay. It was a super low bracket game, but I think that it's worth it just for the laughs. My opponent went mass battle cruisers and floated his base in a corner and just told me to ff. I was on Protoss so what I did was use my mothership to stealth my probes as I amassed a screen tearing amount of photon cannons and anti-air units. When he finally had enough Phoneix harassment, he used tactical jump on top of my units thinking that it was just a small army, and the BCs got completely shredded by a storm of photon cannon blasts and my army. It was a very satisfying win although he would have got me if he had just attacked my base. I hope that you like it though.
