[@lorddidger]

The prism was relocating so many units it looked like it was shooting too!

[@Damorann]

Aaaah, the classic Lowko intro to make our week go by smoothly. Always a pleasure !

[@jacktan7812]

33:50 MaxPax lost 1 stalker in that fight against a 12 mm stim/combat shield army..... His stalker/prism control is just so insane

[@DrakeyC]

9:30 - as the Archon was warping in, the Zealots pushed it to the frontlines. Beautiful.

[@rhyguy6260]

i thought the archon was walking with the army

[@matthewrobertson4145]

My theory is that MaxPax is someone incredibly famous, and we'd all recognise him if he showed up to an offline tournament. Maybe he's David Attenborough, or someone like that. Think about it. I mean, has anyone seen them both in the same room at the same time?

[@ofajoel]

I like this theory. I’ve had an inkling that he was an AI for a bit, but a famous person is also great.

[@squidikka]

I feel like he's an ex SC pro that smurfed his way into #1 protoss and isn't really interested in going back into the limelight since he already made his bank ages ago.

[@polca4love]

Has anyone actually see Lowko and Maxpax in the same room...?

[@kindlin]

I've always thought the explanation would be a bit more mundane, what if they're just a woman? Some married wife with kids that can't take time off to go to an offline tourney? Ok, maybe not that last bit, but it could be anything.

[@polca4love]

@@kindlin Most likely, but that's boring. As long as the crazy theories are not disrespectful, let them run wild.

[@mr.melondeawa6381]

You can tell MaxPax is having lots of fun!

[@Mystyx-Sama]

I'm a Protoss main, and that was the most beautiful thumbnail I've ever seen you use. Bravo.

[@Komatik_]

We found someone who likes their parmigiano.

[@DarsusD]

that pick up and blink micro from maxpax is crazy

[@mriconoclast13]

What if MaxPax is a bot?

[@alfo149]

Watching that stalker-prism micro was like watching Beat Saber.

[@kiwiyz3607]

What was that bloody micro on the last match. What the hell Max, you godamn monster.

[@sevreal4]

Holy molly MaxPax is such a beast, makes Toss look so much fun to play.

[@JSs586]

Byun's such a tempo player. He's incredibly powerful when the tempo is right but meanwhile very weak in dealing with plot twists.

[@rc-fannl7364]

Not perfect overall maybe, but that Stalker control was really crazy good.

[@notbuddha]

It reminded me of PartinG. A few years ago "maxpax" was a meme, crazy how good he got !

[@janl5242]

MaxPax micro is art

[@hydraulichydra8363]

Wow... That blink micro was just so good... I am just in awe...

[@MadSnake123]

The classic Lowko intro always put a smile on my face 🙂

[@taratajika]

Woohoo! Classic intro bringing the hype!

[@GardeBot]

Not only do we see a Protoss Win, but we also see Byun outplayed, dam, what a series!

[@zatablet5793]

We also heard the good intro

[@47StormShadow]

Gee thanks for spoiling the outcome of the matches in the comments.

[@lothar3073]

@@47StormShadow Well, it is spoiled in the thumbnail as well.

[@47StormShadow]

@@lothar3073 true but I also tend to take thumbnails with a grain of salt

[@snowdrop9810]

MaxPax is very good

[@troelsdc]

Would have loved to see the units lost screen towards the end there just to witness the raw efficiency of MaxPax's legendary stalker micro.

[@goldensea03idk51]

MaxPax should be like marshmallow and just always wear a mascot head lol

[@agnezabarutanski1963]

As an ancient mythology lover I find Jagannatha and Hecate to be the coolest map names. Jagannatha is Shiva's unstoppable chariot (pasted into English as juggernaut, an unstoppable force) and Hecate is a Greek multi-headed monster goddess, queen of underworld beasts. But that's just me. :D

[@LDSG_A_Team]

That 5th Nexus at the ten minute mark in game #3 was such a flex lmao.

[@ab-rw9jk]

MaxPax just making a challenge: no defensive dark templars

[@WoA596]

Lowko Stanning Maxpax is my new favourite SC arc.

[@pezko662]

seeing MaxPax juggle those units reminds me of deepmind microing it's units. this guys comes so close to that feeling of individual unit micro it's amazing! haven't enjoyed a pvt as much as this in a long time

[@lothar3073]

Zealots and Warp Prisms seem to be the key to the success of Protoss apparently. Who would have thought.

[@snowdrop9810]

Yeah just gotta outmultitask ByuN.

[@chir0pter]

27:30 love the aggressive nexus by MaxPax, a well calibrated risk and synergizes with his map control

[@Zamiroh]

I think we need to start a petition to get maxpax to a live tourney! That micro game 4 was pure awesomeness!

[@yamilabugattas3895]

I was already expecting a great video when I saw Byun's name in the title, but the classic intro on top of it? Great video Lowko!

[@MasterTim1127]

MaxPax is my favorite Toss now that Zest has retired. I love when you cast his matches. I want him to do offline tournaments too.

[@soujirou86]

That prism / stalker micro last game was amazing never seen it before

[@markvon9727]

A Classic intro for a beautiful week!

[@mitchellemmett8789]

I hear lokos do the opening, I like.

[@LanceFehr]

Holy freakin' Stalker micro!!! Holy crap that was awesome!!

[@xx_gamer_xx8315]

Very good thumbnail!

[@natecw4164]

14:51 Hey Jimmy, what time you off duty tonight? ... *JIMMY?!? OH GOD RUN!!* 😂

[@ricklau1383]

Intro is back!

[@LDSG_A_Team]

At this point, it almost seems like MaxPax was kinda sad about finishing the series with his blink stalkers. It's like he knows that he is way too good with them and wants to win any other way lolol

[@LDSG_A_Team]

I feel like if MaxPax does start playing offline tournaments, Protoss is gonna be hit with a round of nerfs lolol. Maybe he's been doing us a service all this time 😂

[@djingiskhan4581]

I can still hear Beasty screaming "The MaxPax special!" and so on hahaha

[@1KamaronConClase]

That was sick, specially the last game 🎉

[@DJZander01]

Damn maxpax crushed

[@patrikhala1910]

"GET A RAVEN!" -- Exactly, I am saying this all the time when playing Ranked/Unranked matches against the Terran 😀

[@Schacal6666]

30:40 Like Harstem said: building a Zealot is the dumbest and most useless thing ever

[@itKiba]

Hell yeah classic opening always makes my day

[@quasar2834]

2:40 "When behind dark shri..." wait, MaxPax, that's not how this works!!!

[@maquabear5242]

Good job. Keep up the good work.

[@MadArtillery]

Byun was very courteous for not mine dropping at all for whatever reason.

[@sunieldanoksha]

Max Pax micro is off the charts.....

[@elvendragonhammer5433]

When MaxPax's Nexus got destroyed he got supply blocked, & byun popped another pylon right after so he was double supply blocked & couldn't warp in any more units.

[@Havoc_279]

I'm a simple man, I hear the classic outro, I give a like

[@GrantDexter]

HE DIDS THE INTRO!!!!!!

[@sizzlingbacon100]

MaxPax reminds me of Has and I love watching them do some crazy cheese like cannon rush all ins or mass phoenix or dt rush

[@HappyHog11]

Lowko… Hecate is a Greek goddess of magic

[@Michael-vo3tk]

damn Max looking strong af

[@williamwakefield1017]

Yes dude the old intro!

[@linkanddrink7880]

MaxPax is such a happy Protoss player. His playing looks so fun, energetic and full of life energy an joy. Instead of a passive reactive style of Protoss he presents a joyful attacking style. I love it.

[@cmiato]

classic intro, instant like and comment, engagement for the algorithm gods

[@HaploBartow]

29:20 Next map pool will have a map called "Redoubtable" and one called "Eyjafjallajökull" lets goooooo

[@FalconBeetle]

Horay the lowko intro!

[@PazCristo]

Remember this, Lowko said the strongest Protoss unit is the Prism

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

He did the thing, he did the thing!!!

[@Kagutsuchi4]

Out of all the Protoss players I've seen so far.. MaxPax's micro, macro, and map awareness is 2nd to none.

[@bulatbatoev6462]

Classic intro poggers

[@Arkeli5]

One players ByuN there, done that but Max-Packs a punch man. Great series to watch, although ByuN may feel differently.

[@ekaetone7431]

I laugh so hard when the follow-up dark templar appear at 28:01 .

[@geoffzephyrus9849]

Maxpax just dismantled Byun, that was so clean. Damn MaxPax

[@nimamotamedi4544]

How in the world does this just have 5 thumbs up? Come on guys. This was a great masterclass by maxypax and great from Lowko!

[@Dadbod007]

He should wear a disguise in LAN. Like frank from death race or a Fawkes mask.

[@MeliorIlle]

Pax is that guy, he is him.

[@luissanchez3d]

please have a dedicated maxpax channel

[@ritchiefrostwood7604]

Stalker micro of a god😮

[@LDSG_A_Team]

The next ladder map is gonna be "voer hier de kaartnaam in"

[@2Sor2Fig]

16:35 My initial thought was nude, but Lowko's a classy guy. I'm gonna go with mankini.

[@thatoneguywhosaysstuff9529]

last game makes up for the second, much worth

[@Schacal6666]

That second game seemed like an intentional loss by Max. Wtf

[@MarlotteTR]

dude!!! last week I get into a ig reel of an actress called Poorna Jagannathan, may you already know where this goes, but turns that her last name, which means the same that the map name, is pronounced ignoring the "nna" silable... so the map is called "Jagantha", that sounds like "gigantic", which is its meaning 🤯🤯🤯

[@dsds51621]

Maybe a cat crashed Max’s keyboard in game two. Headscratcher indeed

[@daymonklotz]

game 3 byun - born to tank forced to cyclone moment

[@BookwormFUT]

Lowko, Hecate (also Hekate) is the name of an ancient Greek goddess.

[@HaploBartow]

He knows, he looked it up a couple of weeks ago during a cast.

[@FlyingDominion]

21:27 So, 3 gateways is like a void ray?

[@wanaan]

The only thing keepjng Maxpax from world conquest is how underpowered Protoss is. And even then he's still frikkin scary.

[@jordanleighton6893]

12:34 I don’t think it’s controversial to say that there’s some point where limiting yourself to being very good at one strategy is insufficient to beat someone who’s very good at everything

[@Spartsou]

maaan, I love MaxPax, even when he was doing the 'MaxPax build' lol I really hope he does offline tournaments sometime soon. imagine he casually goes to the ESL pro tournament for the first offline tournament, and becomes the World Champion, lol

[@whisk5724]

I love MaxPax

[@ZeliardFTW]

Cannon master to High Master sounds tasty!

[@Acerbitas337]

That was some sexy micro at the end.

[@matiashamalainen7965]

Why can prism pick up and drop units while warping?

[@mdb9562]

Have you ever seen MaxPax and Lowko in the same room? Thought so

[@lesmk]

Hecate is the greek godess if crossroads, magic and fog. Hence the map name

[@ryanfahey1281]

Classic Lowko opener for the bingo card

[@frostmarke]

This would be a great Mapname: Worcestershire Sauce LE :D

[@TheMasterhomaster]

LowKo eats a COUPLE of boogers for breakfast 🍳

[@EquinoxShifts]

Did he really pronounce Hecate, Hekatee😂😂

[@javiervillasenor3698]

let me get my coffee and pop tarts ready

[@davidbardwell712]

dang america... we need to step up... umm, how do you play this game again? XD

[@boliveto]

yasss the goofy intro is backk

[@marcinp3608]

map names : Zaptadia , Telajor, Haicarati, Sobloda, Atradumn xD few names no idea what they mean ;p

[@HaploBartow]

Maxpax must have fallen asleep that second game it seems like. What the heck was he doing at home?
