wow maxpax seems insanely good. I'd love to see him in one of the big sc2 events.

[@williamhamilton6373]

Unfortunately since everyone knows maxpax is actually just serral off race, it'd be really awkward if they both got to the finals and he had to play both sides 😂

[@greg02311]

French here. "Centre de commandement" is the french name of Command Center. Your french is very nice and i hope you keep saying it when you stream Clem game or any another french. Also we dont say the T at the end of commandement.

[@gambit0913]

maxpax's blink timing just overwhelms

[@ech9745]

AntiCLEMatic ending. What a wordplay. I'm just gonna believe that you casted the whole video, than thought of the pun and casted the whole video again because it was so smooth.

[@Spartsou]

I actually really like Solaris. The speed up zones are interesting. Also MaxPax is great 🎉

[@jacoballey21]

clem vs maxpax! i had to click immediately

[@markvon9727]

Thank you for posting these new map battles! Idk how the algorithm showed me your video, but now I watch every single day, and I don't even play this game. Great analysis and commentary.

[@xxQrchinaxx]

New maps so far look amazing

[@donald5548]

Lowko, I want to say thank you. Whenever I feel like I can't sleep, I watch your videos, and there's something about them that puts me right to sleep unfailingly. I was hopped up on caffeine one night and I watched the new lowko video and still somehow fell asleep. Thank you. You have saved me many sleepless nights.

[@pierredechaussette5222]

thanks for everything lowko your videos are the sun of my day

[@John-vp1ej]

Interitus is a Latin word, which translates in english as "Destruction". Awesome cast as always Lowko, love your stuff!

[@TritonTv69420]

Stim pack and speed circle goes brrrr -clem probably

[@arvinjancruz5175]

great series!

[@arodreth]

i think i like interitus for its visibility - the terrain is using a good color palette, sometimes when the map is too colorful the units can be difficult to see in the heat of the battle. its still visually interesting with nice contrasts: brassy sections next to asphalt etc... so over all i think i like it.

[@fallenherosc2410]

i like solaris for zerg because of the large choke in the natural and the size of the map. I think if creep spread is unchecked a zerg can just send lings and banes into the opponent's natural and delete a mineral line and/or production structures

[@emmetpbyrne]

I'll have you know I have it up in the big TV in the living room while eating a late breakfast. Just what I needed after a hell of a morning 😁 these games are amazing!

[@horst_gott]

Do the speedzones only incease movement or also attack speed?

[@I_am_ENSanity]

I love Nightwish.

[@mattmbx5472]

-Max Pax will need to pull a rabit out of a hat. Max Pax actualy pulling a hat out of a rabbit. ''it's not much, but it's honest work''

[@SaltpeterTaffy]

You SAY small deviations go a long way, but you've also said your favorite map is Golden Wall. It's mine too. It is a massive, bold deviation from conventional SC2 map design, without any modern gimmicks like slow zones or destructible vision towers. I think once every few seasons the ladder pool should be filled with idiosyncratic map designs to shake things up.

[@calculatorade]

maxpax has become such a fearsome player

[@jeongordon2050]

Welcome Back!

[@vo1umin]

Great cast as always

[@dariuszhorvath-krol8540]

32:52 Lowko You Totes Shoulda said A little bit of of an antiCLEMactic ending 😛

[@luislazolarrain4644]

That's a hell of a title

[@marcinp3608]

Best lowko quote :bzzzzeeeooonnnnn !!

[@snagsTS]

All my favourite casters are covering so much Clem lately. I feel absolutely spoiled.

[@thelitepredator]

@22:00 my gosh he didn't even get defeated these pros are quick to gg I mean at least die with dignity

[@anthonylaine6111]

Mais quelle micro gestion !!! Max pax est réellement le meilleur protoss en activité au monde ! Même si en tant que Français je devrez supporté Clem je n y arriver pas tellement j adore max pax qui joue avec la Race préféré

[@etherscholar]

A lava map like that one WoL mission would be super interesting in pvp. I think changing the terrain would make for some really fun and dynamic games - i mean collapsible rocks exist - lava really isn't all that different it's just a bigger but more temporary effect?

[@Erebus2075]

that sounds like aa terrible bad map, no you want maps that creates fun to watch replays, like super cool surrounds, mega medivac play, stem bio and mech alike, where worms can be put in hard to find locations for reinforcements, where deathballs efficiency is low but with chokes that makes 4 broodlords a viable defence with some t1-2 support. a map that creates LOTS of opportunities for come-backs and great defences and redefences where there are a few area awesome for static outpost; I want to see a hatch in front poss with worm+ static as a mini front outpost; which is designed to easily get lost and replanted, so gold+high gas to make it worth retaking and so badly placed that it is impossible to effectively defend from being swarmed; I want to see those swarms forward and backwards fight with lots of low tier units and decent tech tier support etc. ty that's the maps I want; obviously not just apm nightmare, not even serral got apm to do basic stuff like fully utilizing borrow or worms etc. why make the game even worse by making even top 3 players miss even more basic stuff we would LOVE to see done in replays, but no one in the world are fast enough and capable of fully doing it; and that just shows more stuff need to be automated, its silly we are doing so many menial siiiigh task manually still. like creepspread and injects, FGS why is this not auto toggle, or constant requing one unit at a time to not wasted resource FGS why would quing take resource before it starts building? i am not even asking for constant cost drain, its fine it reserves full cost from start of built but why before? just to apm spam and honestly as there is sooo much more micro and small things needed the menial boring bs should be automated instead so the focus could be on something better, also let the poor noobs have some fun as well, why do everything has to suck so hard for them? ffs, who would want to join sc2 now with that bull of a training curve just to get decent creep spread and resource spending.... its ridiculesly sad

[@etherscholar]

@@Erebus2075 Actually I was thinking about this more, and yeah you really want to be fighting the enemy not the terrain. Flooding whole areas would force transitions into sky warfare. Still, I think it would be a fine alternative form of mild map adjustment if it didn't flood whole areas but instead just shut down certain paths the same as rocks do - if for nothing else, just the variety.

[@LetterB2]

Let’s go clem! LETS GO CLEM!

[@Znheb]

There’s a joke on the word “ormoni” which is an italian word meaning “hormones”, and the tauren is really flexing its muscles 😂

[@nbugash]

Those ads that you mentions are interesting. Do you think those are something Stormgate can utilize to generate more revenue?

[@LowkoTV]

I certainly hope not. I really am not a fan of it.

[@timmothyburke]

When did maxpax surpass hero?

[@AndrejD303]

yeah protos runs into problem of having to all yolo in to have a chance... and then once they do wrong step its done... great balance

[@Roducius]

Emporio Ormoni! 😂

[@Rezzhuanne]

Clem is now Khaleem. That's a good name.

[@mikegarcia9346]

Hey Loko, can we please get a 2V2 sometime soon! great video as always.

[@drewwalbeck6006]

I can't believe he didn't pull the probes in game 1. He must have been either overconfident or overtaxed

[@patrikhala1910]

Why he doesnt use the Feedback of HTs? After Feedback the Medivacs are basically useless in a straightforward fight

[@peterberg9219]

This game needs a remake

[@ArchangelJuicy]

New maps, I click like

[@rev9115]

if only solaris have a narrower neutral expansion entrance, it would have been a great map

[@Vidocq292]

Emporio Ormoni...lol

[@mikecosh2925]

Every time I try one of these strategies I get shunted back down to silver league 😂. Guess I'm just bad at this!

[@someone3213211]

maxpax goes so hard w the zealot drops lmao.

[@loganmyall660]

I will not hear Metalopolis slander. That was a great map, especially with cross spawns.

[@rennervieira5336]

I can't understand what gg is like in this game...very confusing

[@drewforsyth1993]

I'm confused how Zerg will win in PvT

[@dallegreen]

Did Lowko say an anti ClemMax ending😂

[@AlexandreBelanger]

in french, it's "Centre de commande"

[@Claudiquant]

centre de commandement

[@armando6574]

Where do i get my Emporio Ormoni clothes? 🔥

[@manjeetpandey640]

Cast dark vs gumiho

[@setokaiba4414]

Im pretty sure Nightwish don't exist since 2012... actually they never even got popular... not even in Poland (as Nightwish)

[@zekeodima3708]

I dont understand why the stalkers target the bunker instead of the svcs that are repairing it?

[@Dakota_B_]

Need more maps with less airspace to make it harder for droppers and early sky attacks.

[@thumper5555]

Metalopolis was my first win

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

Emporio hormoni

[@_fisheater1027]

Interitus sounds like a disease 😅

[@KitCatForever777]

Bring back the old intro!

[@Federico-1]

Whenever I hear lowko’s nickname for “maxipax” it sounds kinda wrong ngl

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

"Maxi Paxi" sounds so disrespectful, at least to my American ears. Makes me think of Maxi Pad every time.

[@Erebus2075]

and i want raptor upgrade to jump cliffs on late game T3, bc its cool and its too easy late game to lock all harass as T, less extend P, and less for z ;P but give some off the cooler upgrades as late game upgrade, not too many bc chaos, but shield heal for t3 P sentries, reptor for zerglings, medic foot for T (double heal at late T3) etc such stuff

[@celrak7667]

Lings roundby are already ( especially in lower league ) really good, we’ve seen herO losing to them because of them and the fact that he didn’t have any unit to close the wall. Imagine now 3/3 adrenal zerglings jumping in Terran/zerg/toss mains and just with their insane DPS destroy all the tech and escape… this would be overpowered for sure

[@hivetech4903]

You're obviously joking with the lings up the cliffs eh? 😂

[@darrenstettner5381]

I wish they didn’t surrender so quickly. They give up too easily.

[@Erebus2075]

[@Erebus2075]

honestly yes i got a stick over that apm spam bs and I've been harping on it since broodwars days; it has always been stupid but it has become increasingly so the higher and higher the skillcap become and at the time where people completely stopped borrow-micro, continues all game creep-spread, continues all game scout spread, double warp prism micro, medicvac micro etc. it clearly showed that automation had become an absolute must, so instead of focusing so much on useless stuff players could focus on the insane amount of new stuff you need to micro much better and tighter; instead of it looking less than it should.

[@Erebus2075]

also with some cheese but nothing that can be game ending, bc its so dumb when its an auto lose bc of something chiky; but it is fun to get a little up with some cleaver tricky play :P

[@glennriter5965]

I dunno, if Monster is the one sponsoring the map contest, I'd be ok with a couple relatively tasteful ads being left in for the ladder maps. Remove most yeah, but a couple that squeeze their way through? I wouldn't hate it - They're doing their part to help keep a game we all love up and running.

[@axron1]

Hey lowko. ken je de filmpjes niet wast vroeger uploaden kan ik ze in de ochtent kijken hehe. vast niet. later

[@reaper8113]

Day 9 of asking lowko to review/play Dune Spice Wars

[@SicketMog]

Haven't played in forever, also FOCK BLIZZARD that shit company needs to burn, but must just blurt out that ALL of these 1v1 maps with fixed spawning positions are getting a bit dull. Early days had those maps with 4 random spawn positions. Kind of miss that...

[@zes7215]

wr

[@Erebus2075]

6:14 if he had analyzed it correctly he would know the danger, pull the drones down, spawn the 3 stalkers, then recall however many stalkers a pro need extra to guarantee no dmg. instead off just ignoring it and losing 20 drones to 4 helions which that had no noteworthy micro on them... as I said I hate the apm spam required is so high that basics and tactics and strategy is second fiddle at best... like this is not a tactically hard decision to take, its 1,2,3,4 helions, each helion requires 1,2,etc stalker to safely remove, there helion and medivac move at this speed, do I recall the moment I see medivac or after the helion drop, how long do I need? this is such a basic reaction thing in any tactic or strategy game; the fact someone as insanely good as maxpax fks it up like this clearly shows how bad the situation is :) ggwp guys ^^

Lowko I Love that You *CONSTANTLY & CONSISTENTLY* Release SCII Videos, I Must However Point Something Out That I Feel Emanating Off You In Waves in Almost Every a single Video !¡! ⚫️ *Lowko You Are DEFINITELY & DEFINITIVELY A HUGE Euro-Player FanBoy !!!* ⚫️ *Lowko You Are DEFINITELY & DEFINITIVELY A HUGE Korean-Player Hater !!!* I just get that coming off you in waves almost every video ! Despite my name I am white as the driven snow & just an Anime asian drama fanboy ! You constantly over praise the euro players, get so hyped for them, and deeply want the European players to surpass the Koreans and become the best in the world. Idk if anyone else notices that, but it is *DEFINITELY A THING* IMO Anyway !

[@gruckusgrackus5815]

Nah I disagree, he used to cast a lot of Korean games but I guess you didnt pay attention that Blizz dropped all support for Korean players so there are probably way less Korean games to cast. This used to be a very Byun forward channel and I was all for it. Besides Dark is Korean and hes constantly on this channel literally all the time. Maybe youre secretly the korean hater here. Koreans also have mandatory military service so they disappear from the scene for a year(if they even return).

[@Renwoxing13]

@@gruckusgrackus5815 I never said he didn’t cast Korean Players. He in fact casts plenty of Korean matches & Korean vs e.u matches. However, my comment still stands. He shows a marked preference and fan boyish for non Korean Players. Maybe me saying he was hating on the Koreans was a step too far, However, he is *DEFINITELY & DEFINITIVELY* An E.U fanboy !
