Not sure I could ever get sick of Dark. For a guy who is a masterclass in late game precision, that man loves his MESSY early games

[@burgesj7]

He sure is fun to watch And I hate zerg but love watching him

[@paulknighton3013]

"The killings will continue until morale improves!" Just terrific.

[@nsmb6647]

I want Lowko making the in game sounds for Scanning and Sniping - Time to update the Lowko Announcer! "pew pew pew - BLIDDLIIDDLIDLILIDLIDIP - pew pew"

[@spieles21]

OMG, imagine a spaceballs announcer. Tactical Jump: Rediculus Speed. Scanning: (that guy who makes the peep peep sounds) Psionic: The Swartz (hope I written it correctly) Zerg: Space Bugs 😂😂😂

[@FDCPElmo]

Poor Jimmy got accused of being a changeling.

[@GBS4893]

End of the day, the village goes to sleep. The werewolves wake up.

[@Spartsou]

Title: "Dark refuses to play the late game' Me *noting it's a hour and 10 minute Bo3* : well, he failed I'm going to have to agree, the BGM for both SC2 and SC/SCBW are excellent! I listen to them on Spotify all the time :D

[@PrimalRockSlapper]

the thing is good music design fades into the background to help you focus on the game, so its not noticed nearly as much as it should

[@DrakeyC]

"The final game of the day" *notices video is only half-done* *gets popcorn*

[@brianebbitts3624]

Haha love your commentary. “Jimmy? What happened. One of you all had to be executed for the delay of the armory”. It’s great. Keep it up.

[@LowkoTV]

Thank you!

[@michaelavakian13]

Im glad lowko stopped doing drugs, mmkay. Kids look up to you, and your casting is back at its previous level of great

[@SaltpeterTaffy]

"I think it's about time we execute Jimmy again!"

[@sagarro5291]

Great, i love you old intro!🎉

[@chrisault2632]

He did the thing

[@NecroGoblin-yl2fx]

hahaha just like in Warhammer 40K Guardsman: Commissar we must retreat the Nids are Coming. BANG - Shoots Guardsman. Commissar: Forward for the Emperor, there is no retreat.

[@aurith01]

refuses to play late game but the vids over an hour lol

[@MrJohnBBQ]

About music in games: Hades soundtrack! Just…

[@carlosmata13]

That ✨nice✨ took me out of guard lol

[@jacobsvensson8193]

Clem tried the same cheese Byun did vs Solar in Masters Colloseum. Solar sacked the natural, went for an instant roch warren/lair into nydus, then showed up in Clems main base with 6-7 roaches and 4 queens at the 5 minute mark. Clem had a building CC, factory and some helions in his main, and 12~ marines camping in bunkers outside of Solars natural :D

[@Matthiastalks]

DSP music is okay-ish, but I think Endless Space 2 and Endless Legend have I think one of the best audio design besides Heroes series, Civilisation series and Blizzard games. Diablo music is just epic.

[@gdobrocsi]

The riftborn theme is superb.

[@RupertBruce]

@41:40 Using the returning barracks to provide vision of the Overlords - nice bonus

[@guibettio578]

For me, Blizzard is just amazing in the audio production: sounds, efects, environmental, music!

[@burdisdawurd7472]

Great casts as always! much love

[@bastidorsch]

The Overseer MacGyver his way to the Main base 😂😂

[@xBermellonx]

Always a fan of the classic intro ❤

[@MattWinkler1]

Something really random about the music - my Google Pixel automatically Shazam's songs when it hears music playing. Normally its dead accurate. But the StarCraft music? It's mistaken it for Hans Zimmer, early 2000s movie soundtracks, and a Portuguese rap song. So when the robots take over, play the StarCraft soundtrack, it'll break them.

[@chaywarburton3488]

Got ma brunch, got ma Lowko cast, got my daily hit of SC2. Good Wednesday :D

[@RupertBruce]

@43:27 comedy gold! 😂

[@tinoneher8047]

HELLO EVERYONE MY NAME IS LOWKO. AND WELCOME BACK TO PROFESSIAL MATCH OF SC2!!! Sorry i just love this Intro so much

[@joshuaward9937]

THE INTRO ❤

[@cuper3000z]

He did it He did the thing

[@Logolth]

Lofi music to Starcraft 2, is my way of describing the OST

[@Xanirii]

On the topic of music design, blizzard has a good handle on providing variety in their games. They’ll have a single track and make a few variations of that track so that it doesn’t become overly redundant. Take a look at the sound design for WoW, they’ve done it throughout the game’s entire history, and it’s little different for their RTS titles

[@andreyshumaev3434]

11:18 is it a freaking KMFDM reference?!

[@superx0358]

It's always an amazing day when lowko post!!! ❤

[@Reliquarium]

Dark is just the drunken master of SC2. Can't predict a man with no patterns or plans! 😂

[@odiousorison1261]

The worst game music I've ever experienced was Marvel vs Capcom 2. "Imma take you for a ride" on repeat, that was the only song they had. It's been over 13 years and I still hear it in my head.

[@katsu9738]

Now that i look at it again, i don't think there's space

[@SimplyDingo]

I wish I didn't already see this one when I turned on your stream 😅

[@Amendelwyr]

Lowko, I have to say, I've listened to Game Music more than any other type of music. And yes, you're right that music is much more important than graphics. Because if you use music that eventually gets annoying or isn't epic as it needs to be; it just doesn't hit strongly enough. And often, you'll not want to play because of it. xD Love listening to you btw. Keep up the good work.

[@HoHhoch]

"-Vellllcome back-" Me: *Happiness*

[@jiriskracek1439]

some game music is just top. like civilisations soundtrac is amazing. i sometimes lisen to baba yetu song because it is so great

[@arvinjancruz5175]

great game!

[@lelanddyer9461]

Lowko doesn’t sound stressed out enough, I think it is time for more Viewer Submitted Games! 😅😅

[@chaywarburton3488]

Dyson Sphere Program is fantastic. You should play BG3. Great music!

[@kw8295]

Actually if you put 2 creep tumors close together the creep spreads a little bit faster. Not much but a little bit goes a long way and it starts to add up so it's actually not as bad as you might think.

[@DfR4n]

Darks playstyle is so entertainment. Last map was so fun.

[@kreestakrasta]

He did the best opening,

[@whisk5724]

Dark is the king of blades

[@ilya_anatolych]

it's a kinda fight against cancer

[@naoumsayegh3619]

In my opinion the best music in an RTS is RA2!

[@crimsonlanceman7882]

question: why is it so rare to see hellbats fighting against zerglings??? It feels like that unit no longer exists

[@CassidyAWaters]

Whoa, StarCraft 3 de ja vu.

[@Joyexer]

"Dark REFUSES to play Late Game!" -> Dark litterally goes to Viper, Infestors, Nydus, Ultra, Lurkers... lmao

[@alexanderzack3720]

triple reaper opener sometimes done by 2 or 5..... sure

[@HaploBartow]

Another Dark replay means another sing-song intro!

[@edmundkempin3170]

21:00 Indeed, audio design in general is massively underrated but never under appreciated. Great music and sound design really needs better explicit recognition, though I'd say games that do this well tend to do better in the long run, and are perceived more favourably overall.

[@FilmaticProductions]

You do the thing, you get a like.

[@quarantinezone2844]

Music reminds me of Risk of Rain 2.

[@mrwolf9095]

Oh no, it’s cure… time for another long turtle play…

[@markvon9727]

Does anyone know if PartinG participate at next open cup?

[@timothytobias9107]

Nydussy noooo 😭😭😭 It's at 52:24

[@user-vo8zx2uj1p]

Terran players: We don't just A click everywhere! Also terran players : 11:10

[@jansernc4425]

I think you heard that song about 10 423 times

[@aaronm5091]

I was wondering why don't Terran players move there productions during the game? Is it an apm thing or a silly idea?

[@bastidorsch]

Wir brauchen mehr Mineralien 👍🏼😂

[@danieliuslaureckas8396]

game 1, Lowko how could you not know, that 3 bunkers completes the wall on that ramp?....... :/

[@cal.3626]

No way this creature gey to lvl 57, someone must have put their little brother behind the wheel.

[@archapmangcmg]

Checked dictionary, plural of nidus is nidi.

[@FreddiePinheiro]

52:08 _THE PEOPLE HEAR, RECOGNIZE, APPLAUD, AND DEMAND MORE LOWKO SPEAKING DUTCH_ (or was that deutsch???)

[@NoName-kf1cy]

I think vipers need a buff and libs need a nerf as a diamond Terran I'm saying this

[@burgesj7]

Woo zvt doesn't blow

[@Madosatoshist]

Music is actually why I don't play Protoss: their song is too boring.

[@JavierMartinez-oe3qk]

😶‍🌫

[@youngrhop]

[@rashidhirsh5841]

31:00 plrprlrplrprlrplr pipipipiu.

[@noback91]

[@RavagHer]

[@brianpurcell833]

I'm not sure he was successful, considering this is a best of three and the video is 70 minutes long
