"oh he's gonna use his battlecruisers defens... NEVERMIND" damn, that got me

[@notyou2353]

Yeah. Really. That was hilarious. The absolute "what the fuck am I seeing!?" tone really killed it. I cracked up every time he spazzed out the screen because Terran lifted off their barracks for... No good reason. :p The best to me, though, was the, "Honestly, I think he did the Zerg player a favor by killing his Drones so he wouldn't get resources so quickly". Damn, that was harsh, towards both players! Lol!

[@tigermk3554]

Lowko: This should be easily defend.... apocalisse: Barrack can fly, haha!

I was also waiting for that one xD

[@jacobroebuck5648]

Lowko - Gold League hero here. Void rays are nice because they are easy to micro for those of use with sub 100 apm. No terrain issues to worry about and they are tank-y enough that they won't all die if you get into a scrap and need to recall them out. Canons also favorite because no Micro needed.

[@declanhuber4250]

I burst out laughing when Lowko was talking about how good the wall-off was, and then immediately the barracks gets lifted up. Couldn't have been scripted funnier. Peak accidental comedy

[@Mystic-ko5nq]

That moment even lowko questions if the ranks are correct

[@etistyle96]

i feel shame being in gold after seing the first game. They can't be in platinum dude. That sound like scripted.

@Romain yeah but still it's said that he's in diamond league now. diamond league by placement match and play like this in platinum ? O-O

Definitely. The user submitted madness is amazing!

[@bb-im6hf]

if possible, this would be awesome. unfortunately, I believe Lowko said that from all the matches he gets, only very few are entertaining enough to be casted, so it kinda depends on how many good replays he gets that said, if someone would dedicate themselves to becoming a lower-league Florencio to provide these matches for Lowko...

For a game to be good the players don't have to be good, it just needs to be fun for everyone.

[@daethalion1725]

Okay, I know the story here. Years ago, in the first war, Apocalisse's garden plot was put in the shadow of overlords that just never moved. Ever. They just sat there, casting shadows on that garden. And eventually, everything in it died because it didn't get enough sunlight. And Apocalisse swore revenge on all overlords. He REALLY liked that garden.

[@dylanwu5507]

ngl, when i saw that thumbnail, I died a bit inside thinking blizzard added bigger banelings

Lowko: "... doing your creep spread ..." Darves: "Creep? What is that?"

I took a shot every time Lowko "sigh" Just came out of the hospital!

In goldleague, you see voidrays only the games when you deflect their workerrush/cannonrush/zealotrush/adeptrush/rush...

[@similartracks]

Lowko a question im curious bout i asked on last vid.. why isnt the overseer's "contaminate" ability used much? doesnt that temp stop static defense?

[@Homerak]

"The structure will be unable to train units or research upgrades" It doesn't work

[@similartracks]

@@Homerak ill admit i havent played for some time.. but when i did.. i swore it could get used to halt static defense..

[@bb-im6hf]

well, but still, we really dont see it that much wouldnt it be useful to fly a couple overseers with your army (also for detection) and just contaminate bunch of enemy buildings to slow down their research or delay their push?

[@similartracks]

ok answered my own question.. seems it changed since i last played..

[@David-qs3cy]

I love viewer submitted games, keep them coming Lowko, I especially like your comments when casting them.

[@jamestipler7241]

Oh god it's me. I'm actually the "Well, I have no idea what to do in a PvP so I guess void-rays?" in that second game, and then everything went full Protoss and I panicked.

"Even though his build order is complete whack" had me rolling!

these games, both painful to watch BUT with a Fun n' REALLY unexpected twist at the same time, literally laughing half the video at those random moments, MAN you gotta love Starcraft, you don't see new random shit comming up like that on every strat game you play BTW: Hi from Argentina LOWKO if you read this Bro, you ROCK

[@sakatasankai1392]

These two games were absolutely insane. Please do more casts like this! Also, does anyone know what happened to Florencio?

[@SZRLM]

I'm convinced that apocalisse is only so highly ranked because he actually got his orbitals. We've seen enough of these viewer submitted games to know that too many Terrans don't do that much.

[@FilippoSciarraViolin]

Exactly, "apocalisse" means apocalypse in italian.

I love how Lowko is trying to be diplomatic at 6:20 saying he's not picking on just one of the players, and basically ends up going "they *both* suck" 😂😂😂

[@simonegianferrari1891]

Lowko you literally created what I was doing when I sat down to watch this. I had a glass of whiskey ready to go and was looking to just kick back and be entertained after work. I thank you for your content.

Barracks lift at 4:50 was to bring his SCV back in after it finished the depot. Unfortunately it was right as the lings came forward.

[@smaakjeks]

0:05 - thanks, I do indeed have myself a drink, haha. Wait, is this a warning of things to come?

[@duncanmcgregor4973]

maybe, while casting those viewer submitted games, Lowko should remind himself of Harstem, Special, Raynor and Serral judging his play. As far as I can remember, their judgement was: "Lowko, you suck!" And that was kind of the nice part about it. ;-)

[@ragnarok9594]

I don't think Lowko saw that Apocalisse was lifting his barracks the second time, not to go for the overlord, but to let his SCV come in that was forced out after finishing the barracks.

I've got my spaghetti that I made, some toast, and my drink (water). I feel prepared! Thanks for making sure Lowko

28:49 Had Legion just recalled back to his main base he could have picked off the few stalkers at the ramp and controlled the high ground whilst building a single probe to start up some pylon power for like that carrier being built. I feel like that could have easily won the game right then and there.

[@kylegerbrandt4036]

idea for florenco skytoss but distracts with the mothership (because of its clocking field) and sends his main army a different way

[@МихаилМаринов-п1ф]

Great video Lowko! As a terran player the first replay made me cringe but I watched the second replay on the edge of my seat, the exchanges from both players were hilarious! GG!

[@andreip-m7714]

The terran was using zerg build order at the beginning

[@TheMornox]

I love how Darves rather invests about 3 minutes worth of muta micro (equaling 3 minutes of idle macro) instead of rightclicking that one turret once.

This got annoying when the barracks flew, then funny when 4 bc's went to suicide for nothing and back to annoying when i saw thors queued up...

[@calebadam2576]

Unrelated to the video, have you tried any of the custom campaign content people are creating? I think it could be fun to see you play through the Odyssey missions that are available, and it would possibly make for good streaming content in a pinch.

[@PotatoMussab]

The weird thing about buffing voidrays is that as a result, you dont see them much at the lower levels. Buffed voidrays means that those players who play mass voidrays will get much more MMR and as a result, they will no longer be stuck in gold and such.

[@orleyneberk3603]

Terran must have come from 3v3 or other team plays, maps have wide ramps and it's common practice among lower-league players to close them with depo+barracks+engineering as these are structures you can build before anything else, and bay is kind 25 minerals more expensive than depot, but it's also bigger and closes more space.
