StarCraft 2: GuMiho's AMAZING Battle Mech Tricks! (Best-of-3)

[@CubeItself]

i've never seen a terran mech game like this before, masterful and creative

[@BlitzMachina]

Gumii taking a page out of Byun's book, looking really confident there against an opponent who started the game assuming he was better.

[@HamadaHamada-qx9bx]

Rode straight up to hive punched the Zerg in the mouth and said sup dog.

[@andreyfrantov1]

It's not the size of your APM that matters, it's how you use it.😆 Awesome series, as always.

[@seanmaclean1341]

In one series alone, Gumii has become one of the wildest terran players to watch. What a series!

[@PathOfMathias]

Theres a reason Gumiho is being slower APM wise, he have hyperhidrosis which makes him sweat excessivly from his hands. Thats also the reason he got known as the "Towel Terran" since he played with a towel over his mouse to combat this. He clearly doesnt let that stop him tho, what a god.

[@PathOfMathias]

From his Luquidpedia page. He was nicknamed "Towel Terran" by Artosis during the GSL August qualifiers because he plays with a towel on his mouse, due to hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating of the hands)

[@mm-du6xq]

Can't he use some sort of sweat absorbing glove?

[@TorqueMachine]

Can we take a moment to thank one of the world's best sc2 commentator. Thanks for the videos!

[@musbran7357]

Wow that battle mech style was amazing! I really hope a few of the other Terrans will try their hands at it

[@Daniel-Star]

Creep is living material connected to the hive mind that's why commanders can see through it. That's why zerg units can move faster on it, it's a physical connection to the hive cluster.

[@ManDuderGuy]

I just figured it was real nice and grippy for their little zerg feet.

[@atrudokht]

@@ManDuderGuy as for me, I think it as kind of slippery which allows the zerg units to slide faster like ice skating

[@Catman_CM]

Yeah, I don't know what the "physical connection to the hivemind" does to increase speed. I imagine it's not slippery as much as it is that every step each unit takes gets a physical push from the creep. This would make each step move* them farther, sort of like how walking on those moving sidewalks they have in airports works. Edit: typo

[@Catman_CM]

Actually, thinking about it further, I think that's exactly how having a "physical connection to the hivemind" would increase movement speed. And also, explain why their opponents are *not* slowed down by the creep: no hivemind connection

[@geoffrichardson2728]

Gumiho has a lead foot. If he's allowed to step on the gas it just never stops.

[@dylanschulz9118]

I love seeing those banshees, I feel like this is exactly the role they should have flavor wise

[@lvluptoaverage52]

I never seen Raynor get outplayed like that even against Maru

[@jackmr946]

Those cloaked banshees with speed upgrade were true heroes

[@Malacite]

That 2nd game was such a joy to watch. He just Yolo with the Battle Mech and it was a thing of beauty. You have no idea how happy I am to finally see Banshees kicking ass. Raynor was probably tilted AF lol.

[@justsomeguy1671]

26:30 I always imagined creep was like stiff rubber, kinda the equivalent of formula 1 tyres to asphalt. It would be perfect for zerg limbs allowing them to shove thier feet into it and pivot and run wherever and the creep would be aware of what was on it and would either be slippery for terran or toss but would firm up and assist the zerg to push off of it. Cuz we already know that the creep knows theres a zerg or diff race on it. Cuz it gives vision.

[@elijahpeck3540]

Lore time! Creep is not in fact slippery. It has cilia (micro hair) that zerg units also have on their feet, giving them extra traction, hence the movement speed boost.

[@hanzandersen115]

That gumiho strategies look real awesome and clean. So satisfying

[@enymus3081]

Maybe Lowko can get his hands on the bo3 Reynor playing Random against MaxPax 😀

[@dylf14]

I think when he saw Gumiho massing so many banshees, it might have been worth investing in a few more spores just to slow down the base snipes and buy the mutas enough time to reach the line.

[@googane7755]

I have never seen Reynor on the back foot look like this all game even when he should have map control with mass muta, gumi was just everywhere and reynor was struggling to split his mutas properly. I guess this just goes to show that speed isn't everything.

[@misterart7298]

I think the reason he chose not to split the muta because if he did and half of the mutas got caught by cyclone it gg

[@jordanleighton6893]

^

[@eded9157]

Omg i fkng love this two matches, gumi is pure entertainment. I was just laughing in my room like an idiot with those banshees.

[@torkusqerdoon1062]

Would love to see LowkoTV cast a game of B.A.R.

[@ghoch3]

AS you talk about the Clan in the beginning. Back in the Day, when Teams where a bigger part of the Game, Reynor whould pretty sure be the EG Guy. Imagine a perfect world where Incontrol managed a young reynor.

[@hansondatwani6799]

rip incontrol

[@1KamaronConClase]

That last game was amazing! Love that banshee play GG well casted

[@fioufmrmoignon1298]

If Maru the best Terran overall, i think Gumiho is realy the best mech one, think Maru is like Jim Rainor and Gumiho is Swan but irl

[@Iaotle]

Jim Raynor and Swann, but yes

[@100thMkey]

people forget SC1 was also a very passive game when it first came out... and before you ask the answer is yes, that does mean I fought in ww2...

[@durgun8247]

There's just a random SCV in the medivac at 18:00 lol

[@gamechanger8908]

He decided to hitch a ride XD

[@Josh-99]

The only way to effectively deal with Mutalisks as Terran Mech is to ignore them and pour on the harassment, as you see here. Mutas do too much: they move too fast, deal too much damage, heal too quickly, and have too much health for all of their advantages for Terran Mech to really deal with them via Thors, and it doesn't make sense to make Vikings since you won't be able to handle Zerglings if you make Vikings in enough quantity to handle them. So sticking around on the Battlemech army and pouring on the harassment while treating the Mutalisks as a tax on your economy is the best way to deal with them. They can't be everywhere at once, and if they have to stay on defense they won't ever be able to go across the map to kill your SCVs. What Gumi did here feels correct: constantly attack the Zerg economy in multiple places and keep enough Cyclones around that if the Mutas ever split you can take out the group of Mutas that split in the direction of the cyclones.

[@andrebrodbeck3883]

To be honest, the worst Part about SCBW wasnt even the graphics. The worst was that you could only select 12 units at the same time.

[@charles-zs1wx]

Gumiho was playing an incredible game!

[@Lmaokekw975]

Miss the "My name is Lowko"

[@LatiosBlade]

I mean looking back, at the pro level back in WoL, and HotS the average APM for pro players was 250-300, nothing wrong with that. All the apm in the world doesn't matter if you can't use them properly. WhiteRa back then played slower APM wise back then but he could still give others a run for their money.

[@jordanleighton6893]

I wasn’t overly impressed by the first game, it seemed moreso Reynor underestimating Gumi, but Jesus Christ that second game was genuinely amazing

[@vaseline9169]

Whats crazy is how hard it is for terran to actualy deal with the mass lings from zerg. Lings are actually the best unit in the game by far

[@gamechanger8908]

In terms of being able to pump it yes, but it lacks the versatility of Marines.

[@markd9318]

From a spectators perspective, it was awful to watch during the swarmhost meta. They fixed that. Then recently it was the Stargate void ray meta. Right now sc2 is in a good state for spectators anyway.

[@daethalion1725]

The bit about creep in water got me wondering what StarCraft on Ice would look like, and suddenly I don't want to watch anything else.

[@MetalMan1245]

We haven't seen enough Ultralisks since they were buffed, I love Ultras and I want to see them.

[@wraithryder]

but whoooo's casting?! i dont know whos talking!

[@nobod354]

Lowko over here thinking we wouldn’t notice the Jimmy noooooo reference from destiny… but i did and loved it

[@stofsk]

This was such a good game series.

[@Rath_9]

I always imagined creep to be a sticky goo of nutrients that doesn’t stick to Zerg biology and gives them a more firm grip which gives them the small speed boost

[@deverostv5046]

truly gumigod, i honestly thought going mecha on such big map was a bad move.

[@danisho730]

Gumi is a terran with a zerg mindset. Also APM is not a good metric for efficiency. You could just repeatedly click on useless actions. Its like someone who shouts to the world I did 10k on my step counter But eats a dozen donuts afterwards.

[@antto9218]

you can say gumii is slower than the average pro player but he really compensate in his decision making, he does stuff like those banshee moves that require less apm to do than to defend against, basically nullifing any speed advantage they might have

[@Spartsou]

Gumi uno-reversing Reynor like it's nothing honestly though, he played fantasticly

[@amano22]

excellent/outstanding play from Gumiho!!

[@thomaschevrierlaliberte5884]

Liked. Commenting how Lowko casting is entertaining. Ok now I can listen and be entertained 👍

[@ghost01221]

Am i wrong or best counter vs mutas are liberators?

[@hirzo6287]

in 3+ years watching lowkotv I have never seen a Siege tank drop, I love it

[@nicholasvandervelden450]

It was terrifying back when a medivac could pick up one tank while it was in siege mode - Innovation made ridiculous use out of it in Shoutcraft Kings

[@immortalkhang8294]

Gumhio is absloutely insane!

[@user-ow2ln3pw7d]

Pro's APM is also a lot of spam clicking to keep you reactive and attentive...Gumi average 300 is more apm efficient overall since he doesn't click move atk 4 times in a sec like some do but instead only uses it once or twice....also yeah no wonder Byun has wrist problems with all that spam clicking!

[@MrBigboy135]

Yay we love lowko 🎉

[@BlindDarkKnight]

Sometimes i dream with a "Hello everyone and welcome back to another high level match of SC3", sadly, i wake up moments later and crawl into the internet looking for inexistent rumours

[@NickoBaggins]

Phil Spencer has expressed a great deal of interest in the neglected Blizzard IPs like StarCraft and Warcraft (not WoW). It'd be nice to see them revived if the acquisition goes through.

[@katherinek6166]

Lowko: *Complains about the Brood Wars graphics.* Me: *Recalling playing WCII on a 386* Yeah, I did not need to be told that I'm old quite like that today. v_v

[@SirBunyip]

Since I'm not a wealthy individual, I've decided to post a comment for the algorhytm and ofc for Lowko. Yeeeehaaaaaaw!

[@hydraulichydra8363]

Raynor F2 player comfirmed.

[@Saddest_cat]

Here I am, total noob in everything sc, trying to keep up with what's going on and stuff while commentary keeps throwing me off to giggle every other minute. You know I'll have to watch your every video now, right? (creep's more sticky than slippery, imo. would thrive underwater)

[@oslx8768]

more dark plz

[@Eysc]

How to put those emojis?

[@Blankstareman]

Gumiho has the slowest hands, but fastest mind 😎

[@DjRHaro]

I see GuMiho, I click again. That's the law

[@havvg]

Less APM may be more time invested into analytics and tactics, rather than playbook page flipping 😀

[@BBoySolidusSnake]

People that say brood war is better than sc2 is saying that it takes a lot more skills to play brood war den sc2. In brood war, you can only group up like 12 units while in sc2, you can group up infinite number of units. I remembered growing up watching brood war tournaments in Korea n damn they are good

[@ThunderKat]

Seem raynor was not at his best on this one, on latest matches I seen from him he expand way faster to the point of been unstoppable even at creep spread.

[@stantheman143]

You should get yourself the remastered version and play through the campaign of Brood War. They actually did it justice by not changing pretty much anything except the fact that you no longer have the map editor :) ... I've been playing it since it's release, and by no means am I decent, but regardless, every once a year I go into the campaign to play it out. It has extremely fun missions, and some of them are hard as hell. Give it another go

[@gamechanger8908]

I thought Lowko played Remastered years ago?

[@hammodshamaseen]

Terran units are so buffed and overpowered

[@Mr.Faoustay]

If that first game ended where it did..we can assume that SCV eventually killed the hatchery. 🎉

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

Amazing match by gumi gg

[@alexanderhorsfall]

Every time Lowko says IEM Katavitza I say it 100 times in a row and then turn the video off

[@catamenia8485]

Lowko MVP!

[@ariefsantoso9066]

😅😅😅 the last match seems like the role of the game reverse terran who own the horde while zerg just defnd an defend

[@cokeMONSTERps3]

Brutal.

[@Neront90]

I always wonder why more zergs dont take overlord speed, instead they just lose 2-3 slow overlords, that can be saved with ovispeed, to marine or first viking and somehow this upgrade is "more expensive" than 200-300 minerals and supply block

[@RocZi]

ah so if you manage to pressure and control zerg's economy, you win.

[@Cesard.verdugak]

Loved the game, but when I see gumiho I expect battlecruiser

[@andrunouchi]

as a zerg player this is so frustrating to watch

[@Zambicus]

I think Gumiho is pretty cash

[@CristopherRobles-x1q]

This is stupid. Nothing can stop Mech as Zerg. Do not even comment Roaches or something else, as engagements turn impossible and harrass all over the map does not even let a Zerg player to commit on prolonged battles to reduce the mech count. Balance is a freaking issue with Cyclones and specially Hellbats. God dammit, Hellbats should get reduced to 115 HP

[@jmsssx]

nice nice

[@nihaoarigato]

you said "little bit" 22 times. lol

[@marzix427]

Still don't see how Ultras are worth using. They look like they do nothing. Bio Terran is just too OP.

[@i_am_ergo]

Action starts at 1:07.

[@Zorlac]

You mentioned in a video earlier this week about someone having 600 apm, and today that Guhimo's 300 is slow. I will say it again if you're doing nothing in 400 of those 600 apm, then it's pointless. They literally do it for a stat number. yes they are good players, but APM is in no way a measuring stick for how good or not they are.
