That WAS an amazing game. Good to see Showtime still in top form. I can't imagine playing back to back games in a tournament and keeping consistent mental with that much multitasking going on.

Lowko classic intro = Instant like

I thought I was the only one 😂

Cannot agree more!

It reminds me of a simpler, and happier, time. 😊

giga true

[@ragiex6624]

literally me rn

[@Techcensorshipbot]

I don’t see pro games getting close to the ultimate win condition often. This was an awesome game.

[@ninjachihuahua4843]

Lowko totally didnt see that Viper Abduct being countered by Warp Prism pick up at 8:44

[@nicolascampeau-noel5200]

Got a nice subtle original Starcraft vibe with all the zealots, lurkers and archons. Really nice match!

[@mido5126]

At 13:04 - 13:05 Raynor peaked at 1511 APM. My God THIS IS FAST BOY. Even if he created army there or something, this is still fasstttttttttt

[@davidmarsh8852]

This is the 2nd game of the year? More importantly.... Lowko you should make these games candidates for game of the year and then at the end of the year put together a bracket with links to the video casts (re-up those views) and then have the community vote for each round. So that you can crown the actual game of the year.

[@whispersilk]

He...he did the thing! Had a really tough day, thanks Lowko for providing me with some release. Keep it up

[@schippes24]

these lategames often tend to drag out, but this one had me on the edge of my seat for the entire time :D i even yelled out "noo" when another observer got killed.. that overseer was the true hero of reynor, allowing him to snipe those observers and thus letting the lurkers reign so long

[@Kerl_in]

The intro is actually such an important thing, because it gives you a certain recognition value, which makes us viewers identify more with your content ❤

[@saintmikeyg3417]

That one actually had me on the edge of my seat. Was fun to watch it through! Loved the intro

[@streamfun9228]

Reynor was legit outzerged, Showtime be building bases everywhere really fast

[@brucesanders5533]

Pro tip, you'll always know which loko videos you've already watched if you like all of them.

[@nickouellet]

Hello Lowko, i am Nick and happy to be back to a other porfessional game of Starcraft 2, I still love this intro and i hope youll never change it.. Thanks for those cast!

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Guys! He did the thing, he did the thing!!!

[@SohnGodis]

I'm here for Lowko's "die Mauer" 😂 Thx Lowko

[@francopoma2487]

Protoss is like IT'S SHOWTIME BABY!! and zerg started to dance with it while dying..

[@maximesavard-beaudoin560]

@lowko 32:35 Big fight, you said there was one trying to make its way from the top left but got sniped by raynor, amazing game

[@Blemmo]

hey lowko, long time not seen in my suggestion list from youtube. Glad to be back!

[@Eddyhartz]

What an excellent intro Bravo! 🏆

[@ErugoPurakushiOne]

What an insane game! So intense, just wow...

[@immortalkhang8294]

Its always good when the intro is in the video

[@smahiz]

great game, thanks for the cast

[@hekoh2248]

What a game, i always come back to watch some starcraft games one in a while, and i never get disappointed, gg!

[@dominiknoack3736]

OG Lowko INTRO

[@Sontilios]

What a beautiful game, GG WP 👍💯

[@mrbinky7]

Wow, that was an AMAZING game

[@arturogarrido7324]

32:16 was insane, he was hitting his own zealots for splash, that's why lurkers were dying, that was insane

[@Horaktyle]

I am pretty sure it's because the Zealots were fighting the Broodlings and the Archons sometimes hit them while they were standing near/on the lurkers.

[@ZirJo]

OMG such a wonderful game!!

[@broxxironsmith8547]

Watching this game felt like watching TOP GUN. NICE!

[@antonioserranoalbarras1519]

Great! Another Game of the Year!! (ironies aside, most of the games for the last months are really awesome, keep the great job)

[@DOSdaze]

I always forget to smile until I watch Lowko. Thanks man.

[@yamilabugattas3895]

It's good to see ShoWTimE again in the channel, I feel like I i haven't seen any of his games in a while.

[@PWRex]

This was a joy to watch!

[@BrickMasion]

I was happy to watch this happy game.

[@SoloChinchilla]

LOVE THE INTRO

[@Bookqoutes_]

Classic lowko intro brings me back to childhood❤❤❤

[@hydraulichydra8363]

That was pretty tense.

[@negativistic_]

geez just last night i was rewatching the showtime match of the year from last year

[@TweeTV_]

Game of the year! Holy cow this sure was a short year

[@jordangates4682]

I just want you to know lowko, I’m the guy that watches your videos on the big screen in my living room with the shutters closed. Huge fan watch your videos almost daily

[@heavenlyvibes7102]

thanks lowko

[@Waldo13453]

Life is simple, I hear the good Lowko intro. I like the video. Lowko says sometime during the video to like the video, and I like the video then too as well. But the intro makes me smile.

[@joediditde]

damn this was so captivating

[@Kadaj0666]

Incredible game !

[@gabrielmiranda8170]

What a beautiful intro ❤

[@kongchangfan2237]

amazing game

[@jamoecw]

the speed of pressing button as Lowko put it has to do with salt ion cycling. your nerves are powered by salt ions, and their frames per a second so to speak is based on how fast your body physically cycles the ions. this was discovered with the advent of the motion picture and some people only seeing a bunch of flashes instead of a moving picture. the FPS of the early movies was 15 to 20 hertz usually and that was slow enough that a decent number of people couldn't see it as intended. they sped it up to 30 hertz and that worked for most people but a small number of people still saw just flashes. even at 60 hertz there is a few people that see just a strobing effect. researchers found that this is because these people cycle the salt ions in their optic nerves much faster than normal people, and it isn't something you can train for. as they studied other nerves that were harder to test since they were smaller and there is less solid feedback than with vision and the eyes they found this process holds true for all nerves. this means that while you can train your mind to anticipate and to see more (we also don't see as much as we think we do) the actual reaction speed is fixed based on biology. you can eat right to ensure that your body has everything it needs to cycle the ions fast, and you can do exercises to encourage nerve growth so that your muscles and such respond slightly faster, but generally speaking you are born with a certain reaction speed that you can only hinder rather than speed up. now most people do hinder their reaction speed without knowing they do, so there is room for improvement, but you hit a wall in a whole different manner than working your muscles or mind.

[@dayshigh4068]

Imagine if Reynor spray down all the pylon in SHowtime's main base.

[@ludovicberthaud5652]

Insane game

[@Spartsou]

31:23 I thought the Archon could snipe the Hive, but after looking at the Hives health at 31:19, I'm not sure he could've ShowTime is an Excellent Protoss player, prob my 2nd favorite Protoss after MaxPax this was a fantastic game from both players! Thanks for casting, Lowko! Also, how's Florencio doing Lowko, has he sent any replays to you?

[@blandragny9152]

Great vid. ShoWTimE is one of my favourite players.

[@LaplacescherDaemon]

Me, a german, "Yes your prounoncation IS funny" (Great video!)

[@ZeerY69]

awesome game❤

[@ZRyuCh]

Wonderful game.

[@Krikkio1982]

welcome back to old intro! QUESTION: is there any way to play the game on this "caster" view ??

[@spoonhoa6886]

What a CRAZY match upgrades were a big issue for sure

[@Jasticus]

Huh... maybe you could choose a game of the month, then at the end of the year do a stream where they are reviewed and then everyone votes on the actual game of the year. THEN if possible (and they speak English or have a translator) maybe you could review the game with one or both of the people that played the game of the year and have them watch along with the replay to get their thoughts?

[@chillynewberg2652]

Yeah I'm pretty tired of the game of the year spam

[@walterrichardson]

Game of the year, of the year!

[@sergeyivanov3351]

Great Game

[@markvon9727]

Actual win condition!

[@donaldsoncosalan8412]

36:05 for turkey sound :D

[@cbc123754]

I like that you bring up the importance of speed, I feel like a lot of people talk about strats but being able to react and use everything to its fullest makes the strats useful

[@hhhl6475]

Really good game this is😊

[@leafairicsun3654]

Damn. He brought back that into. Can't say I agree with it.

[@ninopsynouda5803]

Yeah he did the LOWKOO

[@gabrielpedroso8788]

Lowko is already in 2050 cuz' we have had a few games of the year already! 😂 Keep at it bro love your casts

[@cskludt]

Maxed out army = a unique problem to have is such a high level SCII problem to have 😂

[@IcariumGaming]

Showtime was missing ground upgrades and went +3 flyer attacks when he didn't have any flying units? He was using ground units all round and only once produced a handful of carriers.

[@jeanlouismesquitasantos3496]

Jolie match ❤👍

[@davidbardwell712]

dat intro❤

[@BigGingerJake]

Someone tell me how Showtime pulled that off at 16:25? Was it the perfect timing against the Lurker unburrow? I would never have taken that fight, but he smashed it.

[@pokerraper1]

You could do a "Match of the year" compilation with all the "match of the year" you've picked so far, whatever length it comes

[@emptycoast420]

Slew... Lowko's engilish vocab is top tier. I think that every time I hear another caster say "colossus" or "colossuses" as a the plural of collosus.

[@kylebroussard2362]

The second I hear the intro, Bam, Like.

[@catamenia8485]

Lowko MVP!

[@davidgraham114]

Actually pretty shocked any sc2 content creator has these kind of sub numbers, well done

[@juztina7346]

I think he does other game too

[@DavyMaxwell3D]

Game of the year!

[@SaltpeterTaffy]

This is the actual game of the year. Calling it now. It's got everything. Sky battles, nonstop action, setbacks, backstabs, a base race, the win condition of Starcraft 2, and my favorite pro Protoss.

[@ProfibobWot]

agree, except i like the has´s playstyle more, but he is not that active anymore :(

[@SaltpeterTaffy]

@@ProfibobWot Has is awesome, too.

[@GiuseppeSan]

With the tip-top players mostly being terran or zerg, high level protoss wins like this seem all the more impressive and hard-fought. Well done Showtime!

[@kyleschlief4857]

Did not end how I thought it would. Lol

[@IgorCubrilo]

I'm not someone who was actively involved in gaming, but I played dota for a long long time, before the last pach when I finally gave up. Playing again and again with the same hero developed muscle memory. To the extent that I no longer thought about what I was doing, and my hands did everything by themselves. I surprised myself because I had no idea when and how I did certain things. I think that is the case here as well. APM depends on length of play and muscle memory. BTW I started playing SC one month ago, so be careful if you run into me.

[@okefeldmann5509]

I think this is the 9th Game of the year im watching this year :D

[@matthewkadota1897]

ooh another game of the year? 2 more and I get a free drink!

[@danteprokrustes4795]

Been a while since we last had a game of the year, not a year but a while.

[@kuriea552]

That was a stressful game, and I was only watching it.

[@cosbusta]

Wow, didn't realise lurkers could actually be useful. I thought their roles was just to die by ghosts.

[@Onti_]

If there is no observer he should use hold fire on the lurkers and bait him in

[@rammoras5344]

🎉🎉🎉 glad my toss wins

[@WhitefoxSpace]

Lowko you soab if you keep putting Game of the Year in the thumbnail I'm... gonna keep clicking and watching and enjoy it so you got me there I guess gg's

[@TommyEick]

Assuming that was a series, can we see the other game(s) as well?

[@TurnOnTheBackburner]

This was a Best of 1 match.

[@squidhgf9997]

First? I wish I had more time, I haven't had the time to watch these, if only school was still in, I could still start my day with these. Good habit, I think edit: second, not first
