StarCraft 2: AWESOME ZERG CREATIVITY!

2025 Starcraft player: Why did people go for high tech when worker rushes are the most efficient way of winning?

[@andrew_kay]

I can't wait to see Alpha Star matches on all match ups, not only PvP

[@allan710]

You can't win a game of Starcraft by making a better worker unit or unit composition than your opponent. You have to win the game by making more workers than your opponent. You can't get there by making a better worker unit or unit composition than your opponent. That's just how it is. I think we need to stop and think about what we are actually trying to achieve with Starcraft, in order to better understand why we are trying to make this unit or that unit or that tactic or that strategy. I think we should be playing more SC2, not just watching it. SC2 has the possibility to be more entertaining. The SC2 community is a huge part of the game that is overlooked by the larger SC2 scene, I think, in comparison to the competitive SC2 scene.

TLO's apm is so high because he uses his own modified hotkey setup that triggers a bug when adding and removing units to control groups. He has confirmed on his stream multiple times that this is the case.

[@raddox7]

What bug?

[@natanoj16]

Hey Lowko, can you cast that old first game won with Mass Reapers?

[@Devinfrbs]

Roaches with their tiny range forces the ghosts to snipe the roaches because they can't reach the broods. Clever.

[@allan710]

I like to do this and get the roaches out of position before the ghosts do that and then move in with the ghost. When I do this, the roaches stay behind so it's not a surprise when the ghosts are sniped, it just means I can't hold any other part of the wave.

[@iridium9512]

TLO has won by the minute 10. Rest was Clem just trying desperately to cling onto whatever little he has left.

[@pennwu4649]

Exactly! TLO could have closed out the game at 11:20 since Clem's army was split between his bases and TLO's old 3rd base.

And I don't even think I shall play, even try playing SC2 someday. But still, I adore this channel. I'm here because of the Campaign Playthrough.

[@HungPham-qq6me]

Anders Gronskog you better buckle up and cut down on whatever game you are enjoying cus scII is an EXTREMELY competitive game that requires practice. And I highly recommend you steer clear away from this game and only watch from a far. It’s no where near rewarding but quite addictive and time consuming.

I love watching TLO play. I especially liked it when he played random as his main race, but I understand why he ended up choosing one of the 3 main races.

[@StarboyXL9]

The year is 2028. Zerg meta is to spam Lings and drone rush in the early game, Terrans play mass Reaper/medivac, and Protoss use Zealot/Stalker armies with Warp Prisms to constantly attack from behind. Don't let your memes be dreams!

[@myfaceisonfire6985]

you are an exceptional announcer / commentator. awesome energy. great to listen to.

[@Haze33E]

The bunker, missile turret, and siege tank reminded me of Broodwar terran strats. They'd make lots of those little outposts and slow push across the map.

[@unknow11712]

there were no bunker, only mines, missle turrets, science vassel and siege tanks evrywhere, it was a PVT strategy , because protoss were too bad at drop (all theyr units are too big , and theyr trasport cost alot) making the only good strategy the judge mass recall (if there were not eneught mass missle turrets in the T base, or ice more units possibile during a push , while dodging the EMP .

[@AndrewGunner]

Clem built Maginot line, and TLO destroyed it after going around it. Hahahahaha.

[@jesse4550]

To be fair, the Maginot line could only fire one direction, where the tanks and bunkers could fire behind them ;]

[@ngv001]

[@loanstowalruses]

Really like how the roaches prevent any hellion aggression. Seeing lots of pro zergs lose games off the back of losing drones to early hellions. The roach opening alone turns off any harass until the banshees come in. A better player also has the creep spread to slow down that tank pressure that comes in later.

Blood in the water refers to weakness. It comes, I think, from sharks, who go in for the kill when they smell blood because they know their prey is weakened. So "smelling blood in the water" means "he knows his opponent is weak"
