Best first 2 minutes of any sc2 video ever

[@quantumdot7393]

Yea these chat screenshots are hilarious

[@zombehmonkey]

Agreed

[@philipguerrero11]

His hot takes are hilarious this video

[@TheLOGMAN02]

Was just gonna comment the same thing 🤣🤣🤣

[@Mystery_Meat]

"Keep your friends close, but keep Lowko closer." XD Love your commentary Harstem!

[@scBruteforce]

I want to see the stats, pun intended, between Harstem and Lowko calling a game game of the year.

[@martinkrauser4029]

what's that commotion, what's happening? OH MY GOD, it's Winter, jumping into the ring with a folding chair

I love the caster romance, I want a sc2 dating sim now

[@madsondurton8754]

20s before the 2nd observer catchs the double drop, I called it the forgotten obs. I am the master anticaster, Tasteless would be proud. And this is coming from a man that often beats Serral in my dreams. Great game, great cast, thx.

[@Zadrigo]

So if Terran forgets about ghosts, Protoss has a chance to outlive him by 3-4 stalkers.

[@SilverforceX]

And if Zerg forgets Infestor or Defiler.. Protoss so weak.

[@patrickcampbell957]

Terran players fuming that a part of their race might actually require skill. They're just so used to being carried by the game, its's sad.

[@aNugget100]

@@patrickcampbell957 LOL you're so mad

[@patrickcampbell957]

​@@aNugget100hahaha. True XD. Smth abt Terran just makes me infuriated. Ig I just lost 1 too many games against a guy sitting on 2 base against my 4.

[@kaiser2261]

The sad thing about Protoss whining is that they whine even when they win, or when Terran is not in the game. You play the easiest race in the game, try having some fun.

[@Alex-pq2fv]

The Stalker-mine blinking was nuts, every time made me panic a little lol

[@ArtariusAurelius]

Huh, i hadnt even thought of that lowko connection. But it makes so much sense

[@chir0pter]

23:21 wow that bottom left gold becomes a kill zone if your opponent commits to defending it and you can reinforce like Stats did, sick fight

[@vasanthp.2737]

It would be cool to have a game of the year competition. Each content creator puts forward one or two games that they have casted, and the community votes on them. Then we would have a game of the year among games of the year.

[@Luper1billion]

There should be a units killed per minute tab. So many fights

[@EmilKlingberg]

Its funny how i have watched this game twice and still from a new perspective its just as interesting as the first watch.

[@Mpdarkguy]

It’s frenetic bio games like these where I think about that medivac every energy regeneration upgrade

[@-mokelo-8421]

I love seeing Terran lose, but it's much better seeing Protoss win!

[@SilverforceX]

Zealots are the core of the army, they drag widow mines into the Terran bio-ball, and eat tank shots or cause tank splash vs bio-ball. Without Zealots to tank, the Protoss army just melts.

[@gambitraider5475]

I am stunned. That early defence with the new wall strat is so interesting. I thought for sure the pylon at the front would be sniped, i think that’s part of the strat though. Cover with battery while pealing with the few units

[@George_K.]

Damn it Harstem, I haven't gotten the time to watch your videos for a couple of months, but there's no way I'm not clicking on this!

[@emdeo]

that ending was ridiculous

[@damedley75]

2:30 Gentle viewer, you really came to the right place if you want to be completely in the dark about what the Terran player did for the first 150 seconds of The Game of the Year. Still love you, Captain.

[@thingsmac]

Tell me what race the caster plays, without telling me what race the caster plays...

[@jeffreyJames998]

Clem vs Maxpax game 3, was game of the year imo. Maxpax somehow came back on one of the best Terrans. Was insane

[@dustinmorrison6315]

A mine, liberator, missile turret, and planetary on an extension sounds like an imba defense until you realize two rogue disruptors could snipe all the SCVs.

[@laureloneiros1500]

2 disruptors sound like imba harass until you realize that 2 disruptors are 300/300 and a single widow mine can do the same for 75/25

[@FreakMeat74]

@@laureloneiros1500 How often does a single widow mine get all the SCVs? Usually it takes multiple mines/mine hits, plus you can't aim them. Just sayin' edit: yes I know you CAN aim them, just much much harder to do.

[@reaper83chow]

This game was epic! Really shows what star craft could be.

[@housesg5981]

I learnt something while watching this: oliveria is no Maru.

[@lad4694]

My Captain, Harstem would have EASILY closed out this game by 8mins

[@HaploBartow]

I would definitely say Lowko is one of the top 10 Dutch SC2 casters

[@kwilatek]

top 7 maybe even

[@pattucker7414]

Wild game and great cast as usual!

[@hvip4]

When both players make mistakes, they are both forced to make quick decisions, EXCITING! If those were S tier players, I'd not hesitate to call this the GOTY...

[@TheMasterhomaster]

LowKo eats a COUPLE of boogers for breakfast 🍳

[@damedley75]

12:00 This is a high-tension moment for me. Did Oliveira get caught out of position? Did he bait Stats in for the surround? I think something big is about to happen.

[@damedley75]

Yeah big moment. Still not sure if Oliveira let him in intentionally or just made the best of a bad situation. Nice patience to leave a whole base undefended while moving around to Stats' flank.

[@jacobsvensson8193]

Series of he year : Gumiho vs Cure in GSL

[@spokoman23]

I suspected Olivera faked the cut eye cause he didn't want to fight in Dbu-dabi, but I didn't know he changed his nationality to Izzy's.

[@Aristocrat15]

Can we have a dedicated video just talking about the great lengths required to obtain replays?

[@funstuff11]

great casting!

[@marcinkrocki8114]

what a game

[@thingsmac]

We have to do GotY categories, so you avoid clickbait accusations: i.e. Game of the Year- Action You could also default to "Game of the Year?"

[@GrimOrdnance]

Fantastic game and great casting. These games are wild when it's constant fighting. Also love the jabs at wardi..(sp?) Idk he's not as important as harstem and lowko

[@djryken]

Ive heard other commentators say more than 4 disrupters is a waste of supply..

[@garreswe]

Haha great intro 😂

[@paulboker8145]

Ok so when do we get no holds barred cage fighting tournament with Harstem, Lowko, Wardi, Kelazhur and so on

[@TheZerovirus1000]

Crazy how dymanic PvT can be without the ghost

[@TritonTv69420]

Hmmm another game of the year 🤔 i wonder if this is the real game of the year. Ok halfway through the video i have some constructive criticism captain. I know you are most familiar with toss because you play it but... this cast really seems like we are just watching stats play 90% of the time. Its very noticable. A bit frustrating too. I know we all have our preferences but as a viewer its frustrating wanting to see more of the other players moves and build. Just a thought. I get that it is a defensive game and watching the active player is natural but i have noticed this in other casts too. Thanks for cast I'm going to go swab the poop deck captain. Haha

[@laureloneiros1500]

a lot of words to realize that terran is just turtling and stim a-moving whenever the enemy is on screen

[@ManDuderGuy]

@@laureloneiros1500 Got em

[@gamble9437]

Seemed fine to me mate. He was watching the fights between the 2 players. Not sure what your criticism is. You want to watch a CC building? Pro tip: you can look at the mini map and it will show you the building set-up.

[@BrendanWinegar]

Sc2 is an RTS.. you are all welcome for my wisdom. Sick game by the way.

[@RoseWaterTV]

any chance of more mirror matches?

[@chir0pter]

GGWP awesome game thanks to Kelazur for going against Terran stereotype and not sending in some bs Terran "against all odds" triumph!

[@BurgerFlips]

Fun game

[@zekeodima3708]

Omg your hilarious. U said the head of the illuminati has nothing on Lowko 😭😭

[@KoganeNoYubi]

disrupter micro from stats was wack

[@aussiehiker2]

Wardi is actually one of the worst SC2 commentators I've ever listened to. He talks like he couldn't care less, misses half of the most important engagements, and states the obvious rather than giving any intelligent information. Lowko is okay, but his intro "hello my name is Lowko" is enough to send me away forever. Zombiegrub is shocking to the ears and PIG is as intolerable as they come. However, Kevin, AKA Harstem, happens to be easy on the ears and provides alot of information that I would otherwise not know through simply observing the game. These days I pretty much flick between Winter and Kevin for the most entertaining SC2 experience. Keep up the good work Kevin!

[@jacoballey21]

Who's lowko? Is he like a top 10 French KZbin streamer or something

[@juztina7346]

Not even close

[@jacoballey21]

it's a joke from lowko's vid. @@juztina7346

[@alviworld]

not only i hit like, i unsuscribed from wardi

[@monkeyaround2066]

Please don’t click bait us. Definitely not game of year. Bad disruptor usage, I have seen the disruptor refuses to kill SUVs and go on strikes. It’s almost Halloween and there are no ghosts. I don’t think Olivera is really up there. Most of Dark’s games are much more qualifying to be game of year than this game, and there are a lot of Dark’s games out there.

[@gamble9437]

Mmm not as big a fan of dark these days. His games generally follow the same formula . Fall behind in the early game then do some sort of all in. Not the best viewing for me.

[@Stupidassho]

Unfortunately it works. I think he tested the theory with “you have to watch this starcraft 2 game” or something that I felt compelled to click on. I prefer the authentic titling because the clickbait leaves a bad taste.

[@SuperstarBillyGraham]

Which tournament was this from?

[@kurtremislettmyr7108]

I've seen this game before. Steadfast maybe.

[@chileung1108]

the terran player has to not be looking at the fight for a disruptor shot to land. Protoss is so obviously underpowered, I wonder what these commentators get for being so biased against protoss.

[@rwed13]

so, the singing is only the first level of hell? for worse sinners there'll be harstem explaining how he gets replays?

can anyone help me find a game PvT on a dark map, two players bleeding each other out with low numbers of units, archons vs helions, cyclones on zealots late game, very low money game, not as much like this because less positioning more just fighiting

[@cboquet4]

T > P

[@kwilatek]

Mr. Captain, I'm sorry to say I'm sorely disappointed right now. I'm 20 minutes into this match, and honestly, the game has been passive from Olivera's side, and not anything special from Stat's side. I really hope suddenly some miracles and fireworks start to happen, or this will be the biggest clickbait title of any video on KZbin and all of Internet, since the beginning of the universe, and maybe even earlier. Yours disappointedly, A viewer

[@kwilatek]

I watched until the end. I'm sorry, this is in no way a game of any year. Ok maybe the game of the year-prior-to-when-Pong-was-made. The tension was Oliveira forgetting those 2 gas refineries for a long time (and thus had no ghosts, gasp). And *the* dramatic moment was Oliveira killing the base in top right and walking across this super big map to try to join the fights in bottom left. Solid 3 out of 5

[@zombehmonkey]

You complain too much.

[@gamble9437]

Your opinion, your entitles to it but don't be surprised when others disagree. I thought it was a great game. Game of the year is a subjective thing though, I thought one of the maxpax vs serral games was the best.

[@Siirr22]

In what drunken alternate universe would anyone consider this anywhere close to game of the year..?

LMAOOOO
