I like the little things you do Lowko, like keeping the top player above the bottom player on your replay UI, and announcing the country the player is from. Thanks for everything you do!

[@91freerider19]

I never noticed this consciously, but it absolutely makes the videos more understandable and enjoyable to watch! Kudos, Lowko!

[@9trogenta13]

Better than the World Cup !

[@jamespitcher8163]

Totally agree. One thing I would love to see at the start of matches though would be a quick visual on their GM rank, prize money earned aligulak ranking, % win rate Vs the opponent and their race in general. Any of that would be great - not just the audio

[@mf.serious8581]

Same that's why I do click the like button 🫠

[@liveinamber1307]

Welcome back to learning with Lowko! Facts: -No one knows what happens to those 25 minerals when you cancel a Pylon... -14:49 The probe had an ugly stare. -Zerg wishes they could morph an Oracle. Zoracles! Until next time.

[@Name-ru1kt]

Minerals are lost because of science. Anytime something is made a little bit is lost do to heat or something. Which is why you lose them

[@xitaris5981]

@@Name-ru1kt It's labor costs for the guys on the other side of the warp! You think it's free to teleport a building??

[@orangepearlf40]

Ahahah yea

[@grishy8203]

@@xitaris5981someone’s gotta pay those blue collar protoss workers on the other side of the warp conduit

[@Daniel-rd6st]

Probably costs for power and logistics. Those Warpportals dont grow on trees you know?

[@samwellcirilo6486]

Im amazed at how sc2 is still so great to watch! This game is gonna last!

[@daethalion1725]

Fantastic series. That last match was surprisingly violent.

[@TritonTv69420]

Lowko!!! Dude. I have to be close or over watching 500 hours of your videos. Thanks for such good entertainment. I litterally watch all the sc2 videos.

[@zAznInVaznz]

solar's read at the beginning of game 3 is insane

[@jkkim6928]

It was actually ultra obvious cos the first probe was spotted idling in zerg’s 3rd base location

[@M0r1tz02]

@@jkkim6928 apologies but that is incorrect, the overlord didnt see the ideling, he only saw the probe moving. yes, from the third base location, but he didnt see the ideling

[@jkkim6928]

Patrolling, idling, same thing. Stop being so dense

[@M0r1tz02]

@JK Kim but I don't even mean that. He didn't saw the Probe patrolling or ideling, he saw the probe move towards his base

❗️Day 306 since last MaxPax cast❗️ (300 days added for dramatic effect)

[@bittersweet4074]

her0 taking the saying from Zero to Hero to a literal way.

[@N0noy1989]

Protoss was never a weak race. Remember that the patch herO has played in has a weakened airtoss, and yet he's kicking ass. Makes me which we didn't get the new patch because several pros are already preparing to off race Protoss, including Serral.

[@i_am_ergo]

When herO is focused, the guy is a god of positioning.

[@obviouslyastrastar452]

Hello Lowko,I really love SC2 and you're the BEST Starcraft content creator!

[@Jdog-tt8qe]

I think it was the angle the probe came in at. the overlord scouted it and that probe looked fishy af

[@NotMyRealNameAtLeast]

SPOILER AHEAD - - - - Solar upgrades game 5 : 3 Melee - 2 Ranged - 0 Carapace....that's one way to throw a game.

[@anshchandarana]

Hero never disappoints

[@prysmatic]

It’s terrifying and almost cinematic to see how the creep was retracting in the last minute of 5th game as the Zerg fell

[@thomaschevrierlaliberte5884]

All those nukes Solar took modified his DNA and gave him superpowers 💪 (that's an original concept I just invented btw)

[@juztina7346]

Solar nuke face meme

[@Spartsou]

man....that last game, I *loved* it

[@DsG_1098]

I noticed here when I was watching another video and ya, I nearly watch all the new videos published by Lowko ^-^

[@AlanDrone583]

I really love how they play very fast and me in 10 minutes of game I'm only building probes and making a Cannon Rush xd

[@Rodako130]

Thanks for the spoiler about dreamhack Lowko. Was waiting for you to cast that one lol

[@galacticviper4453]

Lowko, where do you get these replays? are they just available for download to the public? or did one of the players send them to you?

[@Name-ru1kt]

A lot of his games are sent by his viewers with email. All these replays are available to the public but idk how to get them for sure. I think sc2 has some in the lobby screen but I could be wrong 100 percent public as one of the messages as you load is to watch professionals play

[@plszuts]

No wonder Solar never gets to win in the end as Lowko mentioned: that last game was a pain to watch, lot of missed opportunities. :(

[@ThatGuy01210101]

Super game, thanks Lowko

[@Jabawalk]

Just sit down and notifications pops. Need to save it for later prelate I will occupy the toilet for too long

[@bunnywarren]

The thumbnail arrow's got its wiggle on.

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Lowko "Where did those minerals go? No one knows" Me "Aah, you see those minerals were a deposit for X structure, you don't get your deposit back if you cancel the structure. Just be happy that SC2 Building Deposits aren't like bottle deposits in the USA, some states are 5c, some are 10c, and a bunch of the rest have no deposit. Wouldn't that suck if say T had no deposit and P had the most expensive deposits with Z in the middle..." XD

[@hisazul]

As only an observer of SC2, lol. I'm always sad when cannon rush doesn't happen... I only get to see that in viewer games.

[@thisisfun333]

Has you seen Has?

[@shaunkiyabu2707]

Good cannon rushes are underserved wins. Absolute garbage gameplay

[@CMF412]

Anyone else spot that visual bug at 12:20?(zerglings hidden under the stairs)

[@FRIESorCHIPS]

The terrans benefit tremendously in terms of resources. Please read it once. Thanks to MULE, I spend less resources on SCV and only have 1 type of mechanic shield-up, so there is a lot of resource benefit. On the other hand, Protoss & Zerg need to invest more in ground and air defense upgrades, respectively. Even Zerg & Protoss' defense towers cannot recover resources, but Terran has another resource benefit with the bunker recovery function. In terms of resources, Protoss & Zerg are at a huge disadvantage overall. One last thing on my mind. Terran's Cyclone & Battle Cruiser can auto-attack while moving. Protoss Phoenix & Carrier can auto-attack while moving. The zerg don't have such a unit. Blizzard needs to patch these issues quickly. SC2 users need a lot of voices. please help, thank you.

[@TheWoWisok]

I think one of the key reasons solar lost the last game is he didn't have any observers which let hero know what he was doing. Basically the entire time

[@xitaris5981]

Solar was looking in good form this series, but seems just a tad more inconsistent than the top level Zerg players

[@julianchiu8893]

[@FinoClips]

Great match!!

From zero to herO!

[@DanielCruz-pt8ff]

Mutas also have a splash att :D

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

I haven't played SC2 since before ravagers were introduced, but can you not spread out corrosive biles? I don't quite get why players shoot their load all at one spot.

[@danieldefontes2810]

I think Game 5 Solar makes a big mistake, no ground armor upgrades at all

Just in time to donate plasma :D Thanks lowko!

[@Celsius_03]

Mentioning the number 69 and not following up with NICE? What happened Lowko?

[@CubeItself]

the creep spread in the last game hero is too good at his zerg style

[@galacticviper4453]

I guess my name is nobody because I know what happened to the minerals.😀 They didn't just disappear, they were spent on the other side of the black hole to build part of the pylon.

[@JarPlace]

in the udder semi finals

[@sebastiansmurawski4676]

hey.. luvCo.. thnk u :)

[@BillyBobbby]

What is a super tournament?

[@LowkoTV]

Shorter GSL format than the usual Code S seasons. They have a few of them year.

[@noirysp3293]

Ngl the power lv of sc2 is so off i dont even know if maru and serral is too good cuz they make zerg and terran look invincible or is protoss just bad at high lv pro play

[@AyaEryn]

wtf was that 23:02?

[@QueenDaenerysTargaryen]

Love it ❤❤❤❤

[@glennriter5965]

Ref the commentary a minute in: Protoss is honestly pretty weak. So is Terran, really. Zerg is the high end master race; they are the only race that even has more than 2 viable builds to try and win tournaments with, and their beginner units are viable and effective even late game even without anything else supporting them (assuming they are upgraded of course).

[@tehli6726]

Why do they call game 5 'rubber match'

[@SmartClownLab]

he-e-e-e-eits xDDD

Let's go

[@diodiolatra]

soooo late....

[@hamburgerman805]

26:40 wow adepts are trans. Protoss is so progressive

[@haketheflake2688]

why don't you just screen record a game you find on youtube and comment.....

[@jkkim6928]

That’s illegal

[@KkawaiiPotato]

Because the quality is questionable, you don't get access to replay ui commands, nor the freedom of map control, and it can result in a copyright strike because it's GSL's footage which im assuming you're talking about

[@jaredkippers8690]

poor solar
