Theres no way this is diamond league, im in diamond and people know how to play, this is definitely gold league or lower

[@erickwat3216]

The ladder might be really messed up right now. I’m in masters at 2715mmr. Not saying I’m bad, but I’m also saying I’ve not played 1v1s since 2013 and I was silver then.

[@erickwat3216]

I’ve been looking at profiles of other people in masters. And there is ALOT of people in my boat. High ranking low mmr, maybe because of the flooded player base now that sc2 is free masters isn’t as hard to get into

[@carlosmiguelteixeiraott3643]

[@alexsis1778]

[@HamletNOR]

Hey LowKo, Instead of doing something like Bronze League Heroes, you should totally have a regular video series where you cast (and completely ridicule) your Patreon supporters. That way, you would: 1) Increase your interaction with viewers 2) Get more Patreons 3) Create something exclusive for your Patreons 4) Patreons get bespoke advice on their playstyle (credit to user ‘Not you’ for that one) Love your channel by the way!!! :-D

[@RandomCommenter955]

At 19:10, Person watching: "WOW void speed is insane!!!!" "Oh..." XD

[@smnvalex]

The reason people make mistakes like this in lower leagues in games like these is because they are completely thrown out of their comfort zone. Not gonna lie even in masters as Terran if i have a weird game that throws my build order out of wack i can play worse than this haha.

[@vareri7521]

4:32 This reminds me of when we were kids and we were cycling, we tried to spit in the air while moving forward and catch it again with our mouth.

[@setttak]

Lowko, is there a chance to cast some battle royale games like year or so ago? I am talking about 8 player FFA mod in SC2. I really really enjoyed it. Take care.

[@thebladeofchaos]

I love low tier games because you see people without a solid grasp of the game experimenting and using unusual builds. it's not like top end where you see them with a mastery going 'ok, I want this build for this' and you can predict everything. low end you see different styles and units you wouldn't normally see.

[@ketogenicknowledge245]

I really like you sharing these videos, Lowko. It keeps things funny and interesting. I like a mix of high and low level games.

[@mr.kookybara1963]

That filthy fithly protoss cheese straight from the book of cheese from Sloth with extra sharp chedder to stab your zerg heart Lowko

[@Dethmegadeth]

Lowko I know you said you were going to keep doing these. I just want to say don't stop. High level games while are enjoyable for the skill. Low level games provide a whole nother level of entertainment.

[@notyou2353]

They can also be instructive. It's why sometimes I watch my own replays and take liberal notes, write down remarks on my (lack of) spawn larva, creep spread, or scouting, and then end with what I think requires the most improvement. Seeing a lower tier make mistakes and realizing how to overcome those mistakes makes improvement more attainable. Professional players are so much better that it can be overwhelming making any improvement to one's play if you only watch them.

[@Cowclops]

Woah, I literally did not know there was a button to cancel prismatic alignment - I just assumed the drawback of activating it is that you can't escape easily. I don't main protoss, I main terran, but I play as protoss as a palate cleanser here and there. I will definitely be keeping that in mind next time I want to snipe a building and hightail it out.

[@shakespearenuketh3233]

Love the commentary you do on these viewer submitted ones... It's just plain hilarious

[@nishantpandey1980]

Thats What I am talking about, I was waiting here @ 00:48 am, constantly checking feed if lowko pops up, and here it is bruuhh!!

[@Jukantos]

Cannon Rush into Proxy Nexus in a corner... CLEARLY Sloth is taking a page or two out of Florenzio's book!

[@BandanRRChannel]

I think you hit it on the head when you made the Florencio comparison. SuperSloth is trying to emulate him and become SewerSloth.

[@michalvodicka8969]

Supersloth cast cannon rush! It is not very effective... Brandon is confused! Brandon hurts himself in confusion!

[@elijahpeck3540]

Lowko I love your 'mean commentaries'of the viewer games. That's what makes it worthwhile

[@elijahpeck3540]

FYI, game 2 is a florencio build

[@byzantines2000]

Things I've learned for when I get back into SC2 after 8 years: Always scout the other base spots

[@notyou2353]

Also, every unit in he game is a Bad Boy *except* for Ultralisks, they're Paper Boys.

[@vincentpham9425]

I haven't watched a Lowko video in awhile. When did you get so savage?! Soo good, couldn't stop laughing

[@BryanRice800]

What I would like to see is a monthly colab video between Harstem and Lowko, maybe roasting user submitted videos once in a while, playing 1v1 with specific rules, (like no more than 50 workers or ban an enemy army unit and the opponent can't build that, etc) that would be awesome!

[@craigmclaurin5315]

Viewer submitted games are absolutely amazing to watch. Lowko brings them to life. Love it!

[@margaritameer6989]

Yesss! Finally, the kind of videos which made me subscribe a long time ago!

[@PotatoMussab]

To give some context on the first Protoss build, it is not a cannon rush. It is a "laddertoss" build that Maxpax played and Harstem showed in a video. The idea isnt to allin the Zerg, but to force cancels on their hatcheries while you transition into a macro game. Maxpax of course had a much different way of doing this but the idea is the same.

[@Elsneakakaze]

I absolutely love munchkin games. Its brilliant! The chad proxy hatchery creep spread, the absolute halfassedness of the cannon rush with two gas. The zerg bile hitting voidrays. the wasted 700 minerals from a shield cannon cannon that gets biled 2 seconds after the probe began warping it in. 10/10. ZERG HAS 23 WORKERS 10 MINUTES IN.

[@c200d45e95]

Winter's Bronze League Heroes is always a watch for me. Some great SC2 fun to be had, there.

[@lmm3933]

I still want to come back to years like 2011-2014 when starcraft was the top 1 game by popularity with such strong esports.

[@marshallgarey2913]

I loved your star wars quotes about sloth being anakin. Well done.

[@noammeir9770]

[@erichschmid444]

[@jckiksass]

Bran was thinking Game of Thrones too, sending those roaches and hyrdas to their nameless deaths! Love it!

[@the1bizkit]

I get confused when I hear that name...because that is my name xD. Although, I had never heard anyone shorten it to Bran before the books though, and Im in my mid 30s

[@thegoodthebadandtheugly579]

Lowko, you have to cast those like they are grandmaster level - with excitement and pause and greatly exaggerated sensational reactions

[@notyou2353]

The favorite low tier cast he did was a TvZ where he spazzed out and shook his camera around because Terran kept lifting off his wall buildings to fly over and help Marines kill Overlords on the high ground. Predictably, Zerg rushed into the Terran base.

[@Jukantos]

Every time i watch these i get more scared to do my first placement matches since 2015 to go and get myself put into presumably roughly silver league - because Lowko would just roast the absolute hell out of me.

[@turfusplays7382]

I love this replays Lowko, more please!!

[@ManlyBog6448]

Okay at 1:00 how did the drone know it was forge first? You can't look at enemy building before there done i thought.

[@sevenzaam203]

[@GaveLJorgensson]

24:16 Does the God Emperor Lowko who gives maps to kids so that they may find their way to work in his coal mines and climb into his reactors...actually have a moral compass? Inconceivable!

I am 37 years old and even though I don't have time to play in these days because of my family and work commitments, I watch your Starcraft videos for relaxation :-) I definitely like your lower leagues replays wit comment :-) I used to play diamond league (zerg) and although I like watching pro games with comment, lower leagues replays are somehow differently funny to watch and in comparison with GM leagues these poor strategies are somehow viable...and often funny. So keep doing your videos, including lower leagues videos, I love it :-)

Lower ranked players... in Diamond League! Me: personally attacked

[@LowkoTV]

I mean, it's half the MMR of the pro level, despite still being top ~10%.

[@xnxGrinder]

Starcraft 2 ranking system is really broken if you think about it. Majority of the players hang out in plat give or take, and bronze and silver are actually really low on players. I dont know why but even I managed to get silver 2 without any trouble with just like 30 apm and one and a half braincell.

[@XayadSC]

@@LowkoTV Diamond league is more like top 25% to be fair

[@the_rabidsquirel]

@@xnxGrinder I think any ranking system should have a distribution that looks like a bell curve. Most players in the middle, with less and less as you get to either skill extreme. You don't want the majority of players in the lower ranks.

[@notyou2353]

It is pretty crazy that someone can be in Master League or high Diamond, representing the top like 5% to 2% of players, and be awful at this game from a competitive, "win tournaments for money", perspective. I remember being high Diamond and competing in a tournament with a $50 first place prize, losing (badly) in my first matchup, and realizing that being competitively good at StarCraft 2 for a pathetic $50 prize, much less for any real amount of money, involved a skill level that could only be attained by someone dedicating the equivalent of a full time job while taking college classes to the game. I became much more impressed by professional gamers after that experience.

[@Spartsou]

when I saw BrandomizeD or "Bran" as Lowko called him, I thought it said 'Bren' so I thought of Brenda, lol.
