[@kamixxae1567]

I'd like to imagine he didn't know he had to kill all structures to win and had to do a google search while his starport burned.

[@xxtranyer]

A Google search hahaa 🤣🤣

[@M.B___]

I really hope so, that was painful.

[@bjm_77]

He should listen to more Lowko games, then he would know what the win condition is in a game of Starcraft 2

[@bongkem2723]

google search is so 1999, he ChatGPTed to find how to win =)))

[@DennisRevy]

The frustration of Lowko is the only entertainment in this match

[@liveinamber1307]

Lowko: Can anyone tell me Kilojoul's big mistake? Anyone? *Audience coughs Lowko: The bunker. You left it wide open. And that's bad because... Kilojoul: It could let in a draft? Lowko: IT COULD LET IN A ZERGLING!

[@DaevorTheDevoted]

Getting Monsters Inc. vibes 🙂

[@ash109722]

He won with 0 supply, 5 minerals, and an extractor.

[@Alexey-qs6nr]

I got spoiled by this :c

[@Seageass01]

And with some zerglings and a corruptor,don't forget about them,each remaining unit contributed to the victory,by the way,this is one of those games that manages to be ridiculous and epic at the same time.

[@danielskrivan6921]

@@Seageass01 They were all dead by the time of victory.

[@tkienjoyer]

this was the best thing i could have read before watching this video, thanks

[@tkienjoyer]

@@Alexey-qs6nr dont look at comments then

[@knicklichtjedi]

Hahaha, the ending is amazing! He could have just escorted the BCs + Starport towards the extractor, but instead he decided to create great video content for us!

[@alfianna2578]

He could have ended the game 4-5 minutes in but decided to create great video content.

[@giacomogotta2253]

The best part is when he teleports a single bc

[@asdfqwerty9241]

He didn't even need to defend the starport, he would've killed the extractor way faster than the corruptors could've killed the starport.

[@thaibaophan4467]

9:47 "No. What are u doing ?" Should use that quote for voicing in the game 🤣

[@tarkin6226]

voicepack worthy

[@loganwallace101]

Whenever you lose a bunch of units😂

[@strickenlol]

I swear I love you Lowko, and I want you to have good health, but hearing you cast these bronze level games brings me so much joy. I was dying at your explanation of why kilojoul loves BCs 🤣

[@MedicJR]

He likes planes

[@nickvanschaick6322]

Literally just fly both the starport and the cruisers over to the geyser. You don't even have to split them up.

[@tholos2758]

OR just jump all the battle cruisers and that extractor dies in literally 3 seconds, faster than the corruptors could have POSSSIBLY killed the starport

[@benjamindeh873]

@@tholos2758 Thats a BAD strategy. Zerg could have 1-3 or 10 drones all over the map ready to build extractors the moment that one is in danger. You dont do it before its absolutely necessary to keep it secret and safe. Flying to it was the way

[@tholos2758]

@@benjamindeh873 I mean sure, but with the level of competence in this match thinking your opponent has something like that prepared and the reaction speed and awareness to pull it off is a bit unrealistic

[@thecheckeredfish_5225]

The Zerg was broke and the 8 or so unupgraded corruptors would have taken 10-20 seconds to kill the star port whereas a mass tactical jump with 8 or so well upgraded BCs would have killed the extractor in 2 seconds

[@nickvanschaick6322]

@@thecheckeredfish_5225 Oh absolutely, but even if you're playing scared and/or you assume the opponent has a random pocket of extra anti-air that you haven't seen: Step 1) I'm scared of losing, must bunch up BCs around my starport Step 2) I have to kill my opponent's last structure and I know where it is Step 3) Oh I can do both ...but this guy never got past step 1.

[@realblindpenguin]

I only started a few months ago playing this game and i never played against other players. Mainly because i thought, i'm not good enough for that. But after seeing this, i might give it a try...

[@temushin]

If you try to follow a build order you'll move out of Bronze league in a couple games. It's really hard to stay in Bronze league.

[@icecream6256]

Same bro....same....

[@realblindpenguin]

@@temushin I have no idea about build orders. :D Right now i can win most games against medium AI .

[@untossablesalad4423]

Your first 5-10 games will probably be rough, but then you’ll get placed approximately where you should be and you’ll get games like this 😂

[@ShadowTheHedgehogCZ]

I just noticed that at the end, he only sent one BC, because he was sending BCs everywhere around the map. Bottom left, Upper right corner, than other location too. He didn't realize that at this point, the enemy should have been revealed. So he was searching more places still.

[@nk2904]

This was the best worst game of the year. On the edge of my seat the whole time!

[@Aisaaax]

That "Fire truck" comment reminded me of how when we were children (10-12 years old) in Starcraft 1 era me and my friends used to call the flamethrower guys "Firemen". Brings back memories. This in turn reminded me of one of Pratchett's books, where an idea of paying people to put out fires was called an insanely stupid one, becausse then their incentive would be to make fires that they can then put out.

[@AndrewJnsn]

It is almost as if the loser of this match threw it on purpose There were so many ways not to lose, but they found a way

[@chungisyoung4good]

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

[@Pr4n4v13]

I wonder how many other people are here re-watching this game (after Harstem's cast). A testament to Lowko's awesome casting😄

[@paliyander]

Guilty xD

[@MeesterG]

Guilty ;)

[@jmatya]

+1

[@Hylive]

Seems like Harstems is gone now

[@Rayzar420]

Guilty as charged :P

[@superpokerman]

I am not going to lie, it is rather fun to hear Lowko slowly lose his mind as the game goes on. I feel bad at how entertained I am. Press F

[@callin8827]

This is one of the most hilarious endings I've seen. A fleet of battlecruisers escorting a Starport en route to an Extractor. XD

[@GrabT3hLantern]

The raw pain in Lowko's voice at 9:45 says it all.

[@yerbool]

If someone compiles a golden album of SC2 matches, this one definitely secured its place.

[@tonnentonie2767]

Blizzard did just that with pro games a few years back, if you want to see some of the most important games in history. I highly recommend it.

[@saxus]

Zerg 5 HP extractor imbalance confirmed.

[@tamirleibovich]

🤣

[@SunnyBunnyAcres]

I loved Lowko's voice crack "... but the Starport is BURNING DOWN!"

[@Wilsontripplets]

Tldr/quote of the day: Terran could have won the game.

[@LowkoTV]

I believe I said it once or twice 😂

[@1Larma]

Saw the Same Game on Harstems Channel couple days before.

[@slumplump3356]

“Why are you landing it why did you just land it what is the idea behind landing it” lowkows frustration 😂😂😂

[@ms0342]

bro i thought the Terran will fly the building and the battle ship toward the extractor 💀

[@phuzlon]

Love your casting lowko. I miss StarCraft

[@miguelmerayo5940]

Loooll😂😂😂😂 so funny to watch! I was literally laughing. Your casting is hilarious!

[@tetsuyakenshi]

It's not about a good game, it's about the emotion it makes you feel. XD

[@crystaldazz]

Oof, I could feel your heart palpitations during this cast, Lowko!

[@adlerche6992]

Harstem casted this game as "not good enough for Lowko"))

[@matthewlewis4831]

Loved you trying to guess the league and it going up and down!

[@jamesoldershaw7865]

Your commentary is like no other - love your work!!

[@andreyfrantov1]

Somehow this is more intense than the entire IEM Katowice 2023...

[@leadpaintchips9461]

That groan of pain when the first time the game could be over was just.... perfect.

[@vedranv3616]

You just did this because Harstem called you out in his cast! 😝

[@rajoslajos3083]

I don't even know this game at all but your commentary is so good I'm watching your videos and I enjoy it. You're good entertainer! :)

[@Vevvev8]

So Lowko is doing a video on this match? YES!!! This is going to be great!

[@Greenscyth22]

Hilarious game! I was going wild right at the end.

[@Bruce_Subenco]

that ending was amazing, better than the grand final LOL

[@RandolphTheWhite1]

Having 5 bases with 44 drones, none of which are mining at the gold base, is such a bold strategy. He also had 2000 minerals and no gas, and so really had no reason to not fully saturate those bases.

[@Josh-99]

Wow. I'm bad at this game, but watching this replay makes me feel so much better. I'm the guy who would blind-jump that first Battlecruiser across the map, find my opponent has 8 Queens and a 4 Spore Crawlers, lose the BC, and go on to lose the game. Except in this case that blind jump would have won outright.

[@berketuncer37]

I was about to go crazy when I watched it in the last minute, man ... İNANILMAZ !!!

[@furagon218]

20:50 Starport micro kinda insane ngl

[@StevenCasburn]

"He liked to fly airplanes, bbrrrrrr". Lowko, you are watching Fluffy, right?

[@zachariastsampasidis8880]

Wood division lmao

[@cohlroxkim4819]

lul

[@aurith01]

after i seen the opening, i knew it was a low grade match but listening to lowko towars the end i found myself inches from my screen in those final seconds all the same lol

[@csmlouis]

9:42 The most famous Lowko gasp! Congrats to those 3 corrupters. They really show those BCs who's the boss here.

[@NerdilyDone]

That ending was puuuuurre gold.

[@cnuon0105]

You get a spire. You get a spire. Everyone gets a spire.

[@plszuts]

I was waiting for that "ajjajjjajjjajjjjajjjjj" the whole game, I knew it was coming. 😂😂😂

[@rustmonster1e]

This reminded me of the old Day[9] Dailies, and I love it for that.

[@jaggedscar]

I laughed so much. Very entertaining

[@csmlouis]

You live, you laugh, you Lowko.

[@matthewlewis4831]

Oh my god!! What an ending 😅

[@ReneH1979]

My screen will never recover from all those scratchmarks from me tryin to move those Battlecruisers together with his last building towards the last, revealed enemy building...

[@adrianbyg5553]

23:24 the amount of frustration... man 😤

[@jeremyway1350]

I'm not sure what is more entertaining, the game or Lowko painfuly loosing his mind trying to cast said game XD

[@LordMccragge]

love it!!!

[@ThunderChanter]

My bro snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and you know he went onto teh sub and complained about how busted zerg units are after

[@DfR4n]

LOL even I got frustrated with this game, and i suck as a Plat player. Can imagine how Lowko was feeling. Good cast...

[@terryivanov9009]

LOL this was hilarious

[@TheyForcedMyHandLE]

3:48 lest us not forget that Lowko is the reigning Rank Roulette Champion! So, his opinion means....something.

[@seanlemeow7277]

Love to be Lowkos other half sitting on a couch in the next room...KILOJOUL GO WIN THE GAME!!!!!

[@dwilburn]

That was amazing lmao

[@shushututututu]

What a crazy end!

[@knabberfisch4156]

a better Title would be: "Terran with 10 BC/IQ lose to Zerglings"

[@jirikunc1956]

i remember watching husky casting a bronze league heroes game which was so close it came down to last ling or something. dont remeber it exactly but it was nuts.

[@ericwadebrown]

That was a banger

[@ThePerfectMr]

I thought I was watching one of my old games here as a zerg, then realised the ending was so unlike me.

[@stalwart56k]

I'm laughing so hard at your outrage Lowko!

[@kurosetsuna29]

I lost my voice from screaming and then dying from laughter after the game ended.

[@Lanzetsu]

After hearing the Harstem cast about this replay I now wanted to check this one, how the heck did Elazer get that replay?

[@umbaupause]

Some play video games for fun. But then we have Lowko. He instead watches video games for pain, apparently.

[@vinpam091]

That commentary work was really good

[@ALANCSS01]

One extractor and a dream!

[@seraphiellopes6993]

OMG the battlecruiser battle at 9:50 it hurt

[@CassiusProps]

makes me think of LagTV's "when cheese fails". Good times :D

[@NPCNo-xm2li]

You can clearly hear Lowko's brain cells committing orderly suicide as the game progresses, such exquisite pain in the voice. What a cast.

[@ZeroToWealthRedistribution]

That one hurt

[@victorrodriguez-di8cq]

What a fun game!

[@jonathantymoigne793]

You made me laugh so much 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍🏻

[@Starcraft2Raum]

Hahahahaha! I laughed my ass off when I saw this video.

[@neekorobison1458]

Oh my god this hurt so bad

[@EvenXD]

so intense!

[@errantbonzer994]

Lowko called it, he was tryna win with style by bringing it to the wire but failed. Landing the cc and sending one bc was going to be the swish to his baller move

[@RPBiohazard]

This brings be back. This is a lagtv level replay lmao

[@HENTAICOMBO]

harstem say lowko would regret not seeing this now that regret is no more

[@ikkii.f]

I feel the wrinkles on my brain start to get smoother

[@Draknar]

So now you decide to upload this game! 🤣

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

Kilojoul, he died how he lived. With a lot of Battle Cruiser!

[@RocZi]

throughout, this game triggered me constantly and with lowko's panic reactions at the end, i spasm compulsively. i woke up at the hospital bed, managed to pushed the doctors away to type this comment on my phone. Shite, i dont think my health insurance covers starcraft games

[@Spartsou]

indeed....what a game......

[@Nyahgis]

Totally got sniped by Kevin, bra.

[@samuelcrane8686]

not a minute, but at least 60 seconds haha

[@santeri9149]

Base race shenanigans, must be

[@ceeagelevair3630]

At the end lowko reverted back to full dutchness, no amount of international casting remained. All drained from the spires.

[@siegeking9949]

The starport could have built an addon after it landed to get another structure on the field

[@JiriKrakora]

I was laughing so hard I almost forgot I'm probably even the worse player than Kilojoul.

[@ePreneurs]

No way man.... crazy match lel

[@marzix427]

Crazy.

[@GerritZe]

Great Game!! :)

[@MichaelC1245]

Games like this make me think I can compete competitively and I havent done ladder since broodwar dropped

[@MichaelC1245]

Actually, going to go ranked right now on second thought
