looks like Harstem was trolling his opponent whole game, then in the end got bored and decided to finish it so he won within one minute :)

[@letopizdetz]

neah, opponent was afraid and turtled, when harstem lost all his BC's TO was too afraid to jump the planetary on the left and gave harstem enough time to rebuild. Also forgot to split his vikings after a while and lost them all at once vs aoe thors.

[@abusethesun]

Operator overcommitted to the BC clearing at the top and then right before the end, sacked a ton of Vikings to the Thors for no reason. He should have had the game but misplayed

[@rocksparadox]

Yep, it's great to see highest tier mech units . Because it's a TvT versus a ''semi mech player'' it's viable, in TvZ or TvP the lack of mobility of most mech units can get abused too much by recall/nydus.

[@JumpingJacksism]

Thanks to the algorithm I discovered your videos. 10 years ago we used to play Sc2 in HS. many fun memories from cheesing all the way to diamond. Great casting and looking forward to watching more of your videos!

[@Tyraeleon]

From a strategic position, it's beneficial to also play different races because it's gives you a fundamental understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. I forgot who it was in history, but there was an army whose infantry was trained on horseback so their troops could understand the fundamental weaknesses cavalry had in battle.

[@etistone]

Lowko: "I kind of suck at playing terran, I did manage to climb to Master 1." Me: "I think I am decent at zerg, my main race, I reached Diamond 3." XD

[@rocksparadox]

The funniest thing about that is the way overestimation of skill works both for SC2 ladder games and overused formats as a form of ''humour'' !

[@peewypeabody4284]

It's so funny. To Germans, Dutch always sounds like a cute child version of German. ^ ^ Much love from your neighbors @Lowko. I sure love your SC2 casts.

[@rondowar]

And to Dutch people, German sounds like medieval Dutch ;p Afrikaans gets better though, that's what we'd consider toddler's Dutch, can't imagine what a German would think ^^

[@ferentcristian6455]

Dude lowko is so silly and funny, that fog of war moment really cracked me up.

As a German, I'm sometimes shocked at how easy it is to read Dutch. Dutch --> German "Heb een lekkere tvt" --> "Habe ein leckeres (schönes) TVT" "Das niet normall" --> "Das ist nicht normal" But the next sentence you thing whaaaat?

That "Video editor Lowko" character seems really smart.

[@mehdimarashi1736]

Hey Lowko, I think what you said about flooding money when you play Terran is just because you are not used to mule mechanics. In Terran, your production increase is gradual and your mining increases in waves because of waves of mule drops. In Z and P it's opposite. You gradually increase your workers and mining, and you spend in waves of injected and warp-ins.
