StarCraft 2: INTENSE PROTOSS MICRO STRATEGIES! (PartinG vs Reynor)

Amazing series of Zerg versus Protoss at the professional level of StarCraft 2. In this match between PartinG and Reynor we see PartinG go for some uncommon strategies. He opens up very aggressively with Photon Cannons regularly and then transitions towards an army that is extremely micro heavy, but very powerful if controller correctly. It's based around the Colossus, Stalker and Sentry.

Lowko: "The Cannon Rush has really evolved since 2010." Silvers: "In the name of the (Crescent) Moon, I will punish you!"

[@noneofyourbusiness4133]

"Nooooo! You can't build cannons on my side of the map! It's a defensive structure!!" "hah hah, phanton cannon goes BEWON"

[@milesscheetz9841]

Those sentry force fields were absolutely beautiful

Parting with blink-stalker. He used it at the recent GSL

With the queens -1 attack range to air. The prism play is going to be back in business.

I started playing SC2 a couple of days ago. Loving it, who knew finding your channel searching what is a zerg rush would lead to this. Thanks Lowko!

if you want, we can play a few games. im by no means a good player, but i know my fair share. (i dont play rankeds tho^^")

I wanna thank you, Lowko. It has been 5 years since i stopped playing Sc2, but a i kept, eventually, watching your casts. Some days ago i started playing again, and i am loving it. I am not that good, i float around platinum 2 or 3, but i havs goods game and havs fun. Thanks for lighting that spark again.

[@KW-ju2tl]

Me: Thinking my fetishes are already weird enough Lowko, as the probe squeeze through the pylon: “That was really sexy.”

11:40 did lowko realy not see that blink atempt? it was beautiful

[@PapiDeHusky]

well i did see that and it was awesome now i am questioning myself since i dont play sc2 can you command blink into a formation or pattern because that 11:40 was a perfect circular formation

[@oliverchao-bierhaus7189]

The target for the blink was in on the zerglings so the game just pushed the stalkers away to a suitable area which was outside the zerglings. The game does this to stop things from going into other things.

[@Tonatsi]

Jeb this game has strict collision for ground units (except workers when mineral walking) which is nice

[@Maltratyz]

Yes, right on time for my lunch. Love you lowko

[@yannismuller4073]

Lowko, Banelings are not light units. They only have the tag: biological. They do get countered by Colossi because of their low hp.

[@fulalbatross]

For some reason your casts works great as background, when I can't actively watch what's happening. Don't get me wrong - I love watching intently too, but when I can't, you're painting a very nice picture of the matches. Sure I know I'm missing out on a ton of details, but I genuinely feel I still get the most of them better than with most casters. =D

[@bigbob3137]

Imagine Parting's face on that last game when he lost the prism

No Lowko, I don't skip thé first minutes of those game, every bit of your cast is

[@zhshsG7]

[@Blade-tj5rw]

There is one very amazing thing about you Lowko.. even though I have watched these games before getting casted, you casting them makes them a entirely different game! I don't know how you do it but keep doing it :D.

[@joshuarupprecht1893]

Definitely the best PvZ bo5 I've ever seen. The awkward army comp was super interesting, but PartinG's insane micro and force field placement made it work! Super fun series.

[@elijahpeck3540]

Me watching the first game: wow parting is making a lot of sentries. 5 minutes later: For real? That's a thing? That's interesting...

[@CarlDeer]

Here we go, Parting is in the House. His games vs soo were amazing. edit: Yup, Parting's force fields are insane.

[@vir042]

"..becoming bit of a PartinG fanboy". Welcome to the fanclub! ;) I been a huge fan since he came back from the army, even though his play initially wasn't as good as now the creativity was already there. Lately he have been playing in god mode though(occasionally), last GSL was super exciting. I'm hoping he can take home next season of gsl, he just seems to get nervous some times but if he could fix that I think could will be top3-4 in the world for a while.

[@violet9214]

That was the most Wings of Liberty protoss army I have seen since... well since Wings of Liberty! Love it

i bet Parting saw Alpha Star's games & thought: pff, i can do that too!

[@vladimirkvasnick]

Dude this gives me so much hope as a Toss player, maybe if the forcefield was a tad cheaper or there was a sentry upgrade that generated energy faster i could try this and be a little more sloppy with the forcefields without dying

[@Tejbegriz411]

I really wish to see a TvP game on this channel. It makes me tierd of watching the zerg strugel against Terran or Protos nonstop

[@alextilson9741]

I think this was all inspired by florencio's movies. He's bad in the actual professional scene, but the way he learns and develops stuff can really be practically applied in some scenarios, and I think PartinG picked up on that.

[@lucasborio7459]

Great game. Parting really is trying to bring a new "meta" into the protoss game.... and it's wonderful. My micro is awful, so I would never be albe to pull out something like that, but it's great to see it

[@tigermk3554]

The Great Wall of Parting 😂

[@Player_Kolosus]

i love this prophet skin, its so cool

[@REgamesplayer]

In a second game it is Parting merely being cocky. Over investing in his cannon rush, he keeps his inefficient wall in. He then went to creep with an army which can't kill Zerg, gave zerg plenty of time to make units and then he thought that merely using fancy sentry play will win him a game. While his Stalkers do nothing, but flee...

[@GrizzlyClawss]

43:55 Wtf, are you okay Lowko

Holy shit. Game 1 Parting. Dude ate like 150 supply and only lost 30!

[@wanderhillen2435]

Wait, Reynor couldn't see the DTs as they were going to attack the spore around 52:30? Because they were cloaked presumably? Maybe the spore thought it was already dead and declined to detect the DTs? High level SC2 man, it's like a whole different game. :O
