Translation misses and corrections: 1:02 Ryung: Byun, mech vs mech? Ryung: Byun must be afk Solar: your elder is speaking Byun: Oh;; I just started 4:08 Byun: wtf, where is ryung? There was no micro on the hellions Ryung: oh I just started(he's trolling byun by copying what he said earlier) 8:00 Ryung: ah -- Maru: ?? oooooohhhh Solar: GG Ryung: Maru, let's keep quiet when playing Maru: ok, thank you Ryung: Byun, let's talk when broadcasting Ryung: If you are going to play seriously, go play ladder instead (cultural note: In korea, the oldest has the most authority in a group and Ryung is using that authority to kinda bully and verbally push the other players around. It's a fucked up part of korean culture and I quit my dream job in korea because of it and now I make youtube videos so I don't have to work with anyone. Ryung isn't being malicious tho. He's just talking shit for the giggles.) 9:28 Maru: *cries Ryung: lol Maru: thanks, bye 11:44 Ryung: HEY HEY HEY Maru: lol Maru: These couldn't possibly die 12:09 Ryung: Shut up, but do reply. Maru: I'm busy 12:24 byun: haha gg, you mech and lurker one trick ponies. ryung: alt Q byun: sigh tsk tsk ryung: get out 17:47 Ryung: I'm staying alive thanks to Byun 24:29 Ryung: Byun tsk tsk tsk All you can do is 3 barracks reaper Byun: lol (z and ㅋ are the same key on a korean keyboard) Ryung: tsk tsk Maru: lol Byun: lol Solar: 3 barracks one trick pony tsk tsk 24:45 ryung: ban reapers? Byun: ok Byun: ban on this round Maru: what's the fine for getting a reaper? Solar: if you make a reaper, you gotta forfeit your blizzcon trophy Byun: no reapers allowed for real. Ryung: it's really not allowed Byun: I keep my promises Maru: I already got a reaper, what should I do? Ryung: Maru's not allowed Maru: ok Solar: Do I see 3 barracks? Byun: I'm getting marines Solar: Do you like money that much?? Let's play a paid match Ryung: I just imagined you getting giddy making 3 barracks Byun: I know you guys are smiling while chatting lol 27:11 Byun: Bye Solar: At least tell us who you are going for Byun: Should have trusted trustworthy people Ryung: wow, what a switcharoo 30:23 Ryung: wait! Ryung: gg 30:45 Solar: ?? Byun: cuz I see what you did, Solar lol Ryung: as expected, you recognize a lazy trick right away Byun: a 6 barracks build up is quite bothersome Maru: lol you must have really hated reapers so much Solar: If I played zerg, I will just lose Ryung: If you didn't switch, you would have been screwed even if you knew the reapers were coming. Defend by switching race 33:06 Ryung: You must have been so excited to see that we are meeting already Ryung: hold on, just one person 34:49 Ryung: Stop it already Maru: Ait, I'm leaving Ryung: Who told you to come here first? Maru, quit it already Byun: Sweet potato (sweet potato in korean kinda sounds like stop) Ryung: I said stop not sweet potato Byun: Thanks (Thanks also kinda sounds like stop in korean) Ryung: Solar, stop it with the oracles. I just noticed it's 3:1 already 35:59 Ryung: Byun, stop sending reapers Solar: gg Ryung: gg Lowko I would love to be your translator for these kind of games. I'm fluent in both english and korean and understand the nuances in both languages. My internal monologue switches between korean and english so I can translate super fast. Please invite me! Tell me how to reach you! If you guys appreciated my translation, I sculpt pokemon in my channel so please check it out

What was said at 21:24 /end of game 2?

[@csmlouis]

I love these 2v2 matches. Basically it is entirely a Just Chatting stream by the older Korean gentlemen doing some sort of SC challenges.

[@mrbaya2191]

These 2v2s are just missed opportunities to make 800 zerglings at once

“No reapers okay? If you make reapers you gotta give me your blizzcon trophy.” *both teams proceed to make reapers*

28:35 That roach jumped above a building xD

[@wmmouseru]

I think It is hard for Solar to play against this two guys mentally, considering that they both managed to nuke his whole army in competitive matchups. This guy often is so unlucky)

[@henryviiifake8244]

Nope. He's just playing as Protoss. No way he's going to be as good on Protoss as his Zerg, while ByuN and Maru are both playing Terran. As Zerg he's perfectly capable of getting W's against each of them in a 1v1 (he's slightly ahead vs ByuN, but Maru does highkey smoke him 2/3 times)

Solar: I'll play a nice macro game, 3 hatch before pool. Byun+Maru: proxy 4 rax reaper

[@Nightmare_52]

if both maru and byun reaper rushed me twice id be a bit salty too tbh

[@DerpyLaron]

Oh dang this was awesome. Lost Temple is one of my favourite maps of all time. I still play A.I. games on it sometimes

[@reeseolsen9837]

There are often custom games on it in arcade, too!

[@josedanielherrera7115]

2v2 is so much more fun to watch, great cast Lowko!

[@justagentlemanthatenjoysco7905]

The amount of cheese in those games just made my day so much better

[@HippioKass]

"And following the synchronized swimming we have a new event at the 2024 Summer games, Synchronized StarCraft 2 Cheese!Maru and Byun with a beautiful first showing here, ah just look at the gracefulness with which these SCVs build, such wonder."

[@JaimeWarlock]

I miss those old maps, they had a lot of personality.

[@mikeballew3207]

I know they were memeing a bit, but real talk: Maru + ByuN is such a scary opponent! Maru is such a great tactician, and ByuN can be overwhelmingly aggressive. I would love to see them team up again, omg

[@ElRealista.]

They played one against eachother and in the last final and they were memeing as well. Literally like this but 1vs1

[@XochiCh]

Imagine if someone makes a tournament where they pool all the 1v1 maps from all the seasons and all the expansions, and choose 5 or 3 maps at random for a Bo3/Bo5, that'd be really cool.

[@eskurian8565]

Lowko, PiG organised "The SC2 Master" tournament a few years back, where players had to play random basically. I think Scarlett won, because she's so good with Zerg and Protoss alike. It was a great tournament! Maybe you can work together with PiG on your idea. Love both your casts!

[@aetbhieiils]

fyi, "ㅡㅡ" is not Byun censoring himself. ㅡㅡ is a Korean emoji for a frowning face, and the line is supposed to be the shape of an eye when people frown (which might seem offensive to foreigners, but back when people first made this emoji, slant eyes pose wasn't really a thing. Or maybe it was, but as far as I know, Koreans have never associated it with slant eyes). Korean emojis, especially the old emojis (early 2000s), draw faces horizontally. Smiliing emoji used to be something like ^_^ or ^^ or ^.^ with "^" being an eye and "_" or "." being a mouth. ㅋㅋ is also a laughing emoji, but ㅋ signifies the sound of a person giggling, not a facial expression. Think of it as the difference between :) and lol. Frowning emoji can be -_- or ㅡㅡ or ㅡ.ㅡ or something in a similar variation. One or more semicolon can also signify a person sweating in awkwardness, embarrassment, frustration, or something similar because a semicolon looks like a sweat dropping from a person's face. So, for example, if someone makes a really cheesy dad joke, people used to type something like ㅡㅡ;;. Btw, I said "used to" because these are indeed kinda old emojis (like long before facebook). I don't think young Koreans these days ever use something like ^_^ without being sarcastic. (Having said that, I am not a young Korean myself, and as an old man like Byun, I have no idea what emojis kids use these days.) The only emojis that maybe survived are ㅡㅡ and semicolons. But even then, semicolons are no longer used with a face emoji, but rather, they just appear at the end of the sentence. So if you want to use it, you would just end your sentence like this;; The whole face emoiji in general died out since like 10 years ago. EDIT: I can't believve I forgot about a crying face. Crying emoji can be ㅜㅜ or ㅠㅠ or ㅜ_ㅜ or ㅠ_ㅠ or anything in these variations. EDIT2: Just to comment on the translation, translating Byun's "아ㅡㅡ" as "what the" is a creative translation which isn't 100% faithful to the original, but weirdly enough, I think it is a much better translation than something like "Ah :(". ㅡㅡ is a frowning/sad face, but it is much more aggressive than :(. ㅡㅡ looks like you are actively annoyed at something, dumbfounded at what is happening around you, or you are upset but you are kinda holding it back.

[@bayupran]

in my country, we use -_- ; is it the same thing as frowning?

[@Slacker420]

Lowko, if you’re wondering if there’s support for an off race tournament. I am 100% for that! It’s a fantastic idea and if you do end up trying to organize that I wish you the best!

[@jardaskopal8278]

Loved the Guns'n'Roses bit. Keep rocking! :)

[@BC3789]

I enjoy the little things.. Like "best of 5" being added to the HUD right after Lowko saying it would be added.

[@KentonBenfield]

28:36 Roaches can apparently fly to the other side of a Supply Depot, thus negating the building wall.

[@galacticviper4453]

That was the reaper bomb

[@KentonBenfield]

@@galacticviper4453 Yes haha, I know. Was simply very amused by the interaction. In a 2v2 match it might even be a strategy to get forces into an enemy base quickly and early.

[@Dank_Lulu]

Thank you for finding and casting a pro-level 2v2! Was gonna sleep, but this is a treat, am wide-awake now...

[@cdaannngggg]

GNR PARADISE CITY REFERENCE?!?!?! You are a god Lowko!

[@couryrussell7653]

Very fun Lowko! Definitely enjoy the 2v2 content a ton! Lots of action, shit talk, and laughs haha

[@nhattuyenvodieu3103]

I was wondering if nuking wouldn't be a fun thing in 2vs2. while you just need one player to nuke there are two players on the other side who have to check their bases.

[@Maytiri]

If you are good enough to harass the 2 player alone, even better. You take the attention, while ur Terran mate drop the nukes 😂

[@nhattuyenvodieu3103]

@@Maytiri imagine harassing the wrong base and getting nuked. Kind if want to See Solar and byun in one Team.

[@janekpolacek4532]

5.00 that was actualy a good axel rose impreshion

[@mackfly8420]

Emerald City; Where the grass is green and the probes are pretty... AAA Lowko comdey

[@twofish777]

Those old maps brought back some good memoeies

[@chibigun]

i didn't know you where an e-dubble fan, hats of to you sir

[@joshuafischer684]

RIP e-dubs

[@memebig9069]

been waiting for these kinds of 2v2 matches

[@AndrewYakovenko]

Lowko, if you actually decide to organize a 2v2 tournament, consider making all the matches bo3, where every player has to play a different race every game. That way there's some additional strategy in choosing the race combinations and whether to play main races in the same game.

[@bamstudio7975]

That's next level SC2. Big props on previous cast sesh tho. Big ups.

[@shakespearenuketh3233]

I honestly don't know who to root for here... On the one hand, Ryung is apparently an 'old man', making him an underdog of sorts, and I rather love rooting for the underdog... But on the other hand, Maru's playing Protoss... And at heart, I'm a Protoss player... Oh, decisions, decisions

[@herenowatthemoment]

Hey, Lowko, Homestory cup was great fun. Watched the stream and that last match between Serral and Clem was 🔥🔥

[@MrPyromanic1]

LOved it! more crazy 2V2 action please :D

[@peewypeabody4284]

Okay. The battles are absolute chaos. I can never tell who is fighting who and how the battle is going.

[@vnll5813]

I always glad to c 2v2 with pros and especially with maru cuz he make unusual things (like when he played with sos mass mines + phoenixes), TY for a vid a lot Lowko! We need more 2v2 with koreans and all another pros, say it for Olimoley if u can

[@paulpickett4522]

Man. What would 2v2 look like if these guys had alot of practice at it? =) Lowko, I definitely show up for professional 2v2 matches! Happy to see them whenever you get the chance! ;)

[@isaacying]

Never ever be at the receiving end of reaper rush by Maru and Byun in a 2V2. Lol.

[@jaumesinglavalls5486]

to see the pro games playing off-races, maybe you can promote a random tournament, I think will be fun... One format of tournament, that maybe can be fun (it's an idea) a tournament 2 vs 2, and to get the best player, the members of the wining team, should fight together...

[@DERGONokay]

Now I want a BuyN-BuyL vs Ryung-Roge for the maximum confusion

[@conan2096]

i was really hoping that neon map would last longer. that lighting was great and worked really well with the army colours.

[@Spartsou]

BuyN and Maru, my two favorite Terran players! 2v2, yeah! thanks Lowko!

[@calebrobinson6406]

I wish they would adjust hydras too, they are too much glass and not enough cannon. I would keep their health the same, but reduce their resource cost a little and maybe drop damage by 1 or 2.

[@peytonstowers2179]

I dont know if I've ever seen dark purple zerg but it looks great

[@Diver13666]

oh my! LT! my teenage playground!!!))))

[@testaccount4191]

fun fact on polka you can 4 pylon wall off in their gasses and get a cannon in there.

[@lelanddyer9461]

To infinity...and BYUN! (and other guys)

[@CubeItself]

"are you saying people LIE on the internet? i thought thats illegal :(" i am sorry lowko, but people dont lie on the internet

the best starter 2 reapers, controlled by the 2 best reaper masters

[@BossesOfTok]

LOL we wouldnt have factories up on the cliffs but we did do a lot of siege drops on every map and spot with engineering bays, also back in those days you only started with 50 mineral and 4 workers -.-;;

[@Rama1118]

I'm a simple man, I see Byun, I watch

[@andrewpalacios5401]

I will always watch a match with BYUN!!!!

[@zmaa7427]

how do they play this fast is mindblowing

[@gerardcorlay5194]

Just keep looking at the minimap and you wont loose too much action. The problem is that you are looking for dogs and details in the units haha

[@vargad3919]

Still looking forward to a maps-special with comments on best/worst maps in previous ladder seasons, Lowko! 😀

[@nait5340]

do you guys remember the days when reapers had these grenade attacks against buildings?

[@Shae1288]

more of dis pls more!!

[@KrK007]

These games are great :)

World: normal *Maru plays protoss* World: *dies*

Well shoo, I just finished watching Wardi's casting.

[@willbrolley262]

I mean, the final outcome was never in question. But it was a fun journey to get there.

[@xxlegolas]

This was a cool series until they decided to do nothing else except mass Reaper pincer attacks

[@TheHatGuy]

Don't know if its only me but, Lost Temple makes me immediately think of 4-gate....

[@Cd-xy9no]

On emerald city I’d like to see those green hologram platforms fill in at x amount of time in the match and army’s can use them to flank each other bases

[@walbermr]

AMAZING

[@Noa-xs5vp]

imagine maru and byun in your mainbase with reapers

moral of the story: reapers are op in 2v2

[@Celsius_03]

Its "older bro is talking", as in "you should listen to your elder" type deal

[@breadloaf5102]

I liked this. Maru the best defensive Terran and Byun 2nd best offensive Terran (Clem has that title in my opinion) team up.
