Was promised PvP, got served PvZ

[@MrManmark559]

14:25 I like the old one better. The one you are using in this video.

[@mantas9259]

So glad you switched back the interface, i didn't mind the new look but the lack of information was the deal breaker. I'd say they left too much space for the names which they could have used for eco/sec and no one would have batted an eye

[@95DreadLord]

Just no

[@pavel9652]

Designers love to optimize and reduce the number of information users can see. The data, however, is critical.

[@Yayaloy9]

@@pavel9652 But they don't understand that the viewers WANT the stats because it's a strategy game. Just like fucking Sweden's museum not displaying ANY information about their displays.

[@Neloish]

Happy you switched back, no income per minute is a deal breaker.

[@robinheizler2828]

yes

[@dennisfechner9969]

I also like the old one more

[@TroyJamesMonger]

Brought a spark of joy to my life :') Sometimes it really do be the little things in life. Thanks, Lowko, you da besss

[@Nightmare0021]

I am in favor of this interface. Also, you should say "mamaship" from now on :))

"The general rule of Starcraft is that more stuff beats less stuff" *15 minutes later* Zagara: Impossible! How did 15 banelings not take down that Archon!?

[@stormbringerlabs1609]

thank you bringing back the old UI

[@PotatoMussab]

If Showtime lost this game we would have to deal with mass voidray every game on the ladder. Thank you Showtime.

[@fiorilli1]

I see Showtime as the protoss Innovation, like is solid AF, is those kind of players that you dont want to face, cos you know if you blunder, he just mop the floor with you.

[@DERGONokay]

I prefer this UI, it gives you more info

[@dupayhydupa]

Perfect timing... Sitting with dinner and thinking, what should I watch... Maybe Lowko? BAM new video added 8 min ago! Thanks

[@brandonedghill1016]

Always lunch lowko for me!

[@felixlintner8177]

Same thing just literally happened to me!

[@maus6199]

I feel bad for Lowko, he's the only one who can't watch first hand a game casted by Lowko

[@TheCoastalRipper]

he can still get hypnotized and forget about his own cast

[@Shushishtok]

I mean, he can very likely cast a game that he played over a year ago. He plays a ton, so I'm sure he won't remember it, unless it was some extraordinary game.

[@cartermassey9030]

Void Rays: *Get speedy buff* Every toss on ladder: “haha void ray printer go brrr” At least, that’s what it feels like while I’m laddering.

[@gabrielhoelzle8476]

That's why I play terran xD marine printer wins every time

Skytoss vs Zergtoss. As it turns out, Zerg is much better when you get good Anti-Air units like Stalkers.

[@felixlintner8177]

Love the old UI!

[@JulianAY84]

Thanks for the „old“ layout

[@Paveway-chan]

I'm so happy Void rays are good now, I love them as a unit :D And that one-two Recall punch play at the end, sooooo sexy! I hope we see more of that out of Protoss players going forward, it was a JOY to watch! It really feels like how Skytoss should work

[@TrueThanny]

07:30 Don't know if that's what happens here, but mass Void Ray with Disruptor is a hard counter to blink Stalker. If you blink under the Void Rays, you get blown to bits by the Disruptors. If you run away to avoid the balls of death, the barely-damaged Void Rays turn on Prismatic and melt you.

[@TyphoonJig]

About carriers and interceptors : each interceptor deals 5x2 damages so a +1 atk upgrade is a +16 total damages on a carrier go. But it's also because of that same thing that carriers are the unit suffering the most from armor in the game and one of the rare T3 unit who's damages don't outscale armor (the other is the BC but they have another damage option in the Yamato). And because most of the time when you have carriers your ennemy already has the third armor upgrade it's more a "removing debuff" upgrade than a real upgrade.

[@jkobain]

Canonical UI overlay. Canonical channel favourites. Canonical Lowko Epic Intro. I'm buying it!

[@baokhanglacasse8778]

At 7:50, it's not the best timing for it but multiple times there were better moments.... Anyway, my idea : blink in to snipe the Nexus then recall or blink out. It happened later that there were not much in Goblin's base, and a lot of stalkers were at the same spot. Deal massive dammage to the infrastructure in the main base or force a recall then the left side is completely opened.

[@ilovefunnyamv2nd]

i love mass voids not because they win, but because its so nice to watch structures fall in 2 seconds

[@nefariouskitkat6347]

I usually eat desert/ lunch while watching your videos... But your commentating will always be the sweetest!

[@justbeatsaber6512]

Yes the intro is back!!

[@kreestakrasta]

He said the old intro and used the old layout!!! YEAH!!! ... And of course the casting was super green.

[@user-vv2yz2ht4l]

11:15 open the alignment but almost always hit on the archon.

[@yamilabugattas3895]

PvP is a lot more interesting than it was in the past. Good thing you changed the UI for this game, the income/minute indicator is particularly useful in scenarios like this. It's important to keep an eye on that when one of the players is just throwing units at the other one to limit their amount of bases.

[@joshuarupprecht1893]

Lowko is so good at casting he can make even a PvP match interesting XD

[@marinauder]

If you think about it, a medivac full of marines is a mini carrier with bunch of bois that deal a lot of damage

[@magicclamsoldthings7212]

Always enjoy sitting down for lunchtime with Lowko. Thanks for the great content!

[@iarojas1992]

I prefer this interface, the new one was nice and all but it wasnt the same due the lack of information. Cool match! Thanks for the content

[@TritonTv69420]

Yay! The ui that i understand! 14:30 no lowko we will decide ;)

[@cgatsby9482]

Yay! You switched back to the old overlay!

[@mathewstormblessed4706]

I just recently tried my hand at the sc2 ladder (partially because of your videos) and I have to say that all of this looks so much easier than it is! Although I will say that I had one guy do almost this same strat (I think he didnt have any flying upgrades tho) and I beat him with my stalkers. The void rays look really scary, but the stalkers actually pack a bigger punch than I thought.

[@cosbusta]

The best thing with this UI is you can take a signle look and understand which player has the best economy at the moment.

[@PotatoMussab]

The counter to turtling is expanding as if you're Zerg which is ironic considering how ZvT usually has the Terran turtling.

[@BlackMethos]

Talk about an advancing WALL of DOOM there :D

[@glennpendleton9520]

Instead of "Army" the interface should read "bad bois"

[@notyou2353]

Fightybois and workeybois

[@toledoxoberst2836]

thank you so much for using the old ui ❤️❤️

[@StaK_1980]

Never seen a Protoss slugfest before. But I think this qualifies at the end.

[@Ediros1]

I had THREE gambling simulator adds, fifa 21 just on your video alone. As for the match, nice commentary as always. Void Rays sure are viable now. Starcraft 2 no death run and all that.

[@sintanan469]

I'm okay with the new UI if the background was a more neutral grey instead of blue. You lose the resource amounts easily at a glance because of the color blending. Also, I argue the old UI has priorities better. You have overall supply, minerals, and gas together. These give you the overview of how good a player is doing. Then you have worker and army count showing the split on the supply, which isn't as important as whether they are maxed or not and how many resources in the bank. Then you have upgrades, which is good to see what is missing, but not as important as the body count. The new UI puts the supply first, which is the most important. Then it has the logical supply breakdown next to that. Then you have the resources. This layout just feels off because it doesn't layout the importance of the data left to right. But, it is your channel. You do you, Lowko.

[@HamletNOR]

Cool video! Great commentary!

[@hirzo6287]

as lowko said, i´ve never seen showtime cheesing his game in any of lowko´s videos is there one? i would love to see that!

Thanks for the episode~

I have a game: go to one of lowkos older casts and take a shot every time he says for example. No offense LowkoTV I love the vids and thanks for the amazing content.

[@llwydwyn5255]

Hope you will cast Cure vs Reynor, awesone match too. Good game and cast btw.

Loving Goblin games.

[@Spartsou]

I honestly prefer the other interface. it's easier to tell when things are finishing from the production tab, cleaner. I don't really care for the minerals/gas mined per second, tbh. Whatever you choose, I'll back you up, Lowko!

[@PresidentialWinner]

I loved Goblins approach. He wasn't far from achieving victory imho

[@thedragoon7715]

Amazing Rock Paper Scissors game best game of the week

[@crushlp7108]

Di you say Die Mauer at 3:20?

[@Jukantos]

I really would've liked for him to add one cycle of tempests just to ping off those pesky stalkers from way beyond their engagement range. Considering his opponent was still very much stuck on archon blink stalker that could've been the winning move to stop the constant harassment near his fourth. That said my own skill caps starts and ends at maxing out and using an A-Move with a few blinks sooo i guess i shouldn't talk too much (but that's also why i love Tempests, LOL)

[@PotatoMussab]

It doesnt work when your opponent is actively avoiding your main army. He can just blink in and kill the Tempests that are alone. Besides goblin is the one that is struggling with eco and Showtime is the one that can print more and more stalkers.

[@95DreadLord]

Why did you switch back to on old ui? The other one looked clearer and better

Very happy to see maxout bugger getting beaten.

Awesome and SO good to see players targeting pylons hahaha it always confuses me why that isn't the meta, it seems like such a weakness of the protoss

[@kurosetsuna29]

I like this UI much better

[@NotHPotter]

The old UI just gives the viewer so much more information. I will concede the new one looks slick, but it's at the loss of information about the game that I would prefer to keep as an observer.

[@Nevict]

I am disappointed that he did not build tempests instad of carriers.

[@bebobox4961]

This UI is way better. Please keep it.

[@thegoodthebadandtheugly579]
