StarCraft 2: Reynor vs MaNa in an ABSOLUTE BANGER of Zerg vs Protoss!

Man this protoss guy truly created a masterpiece. The zerg was not bad either.

[@SeanDaSuzy]

Never heard of this zerg before, he was ok I guess.

[@hIgho0sKy]

@@SeanDaSuzy never heard of that toss either, he should stick to playing hots I guess, like a probe or so

Yes this Protoss player is insane, the Zerg was not to good tho

[@Burneth_]

Never heard of either, but great game anyways

[@juliusebola9712]

The protoss must have been korean.. pretty sure only they could play that well

i caught that too lol.

Really cool cast Lowko. I stopped playing SC back in 2005 after playing for years and man you just keep me wanting to get back into it with this commentary! Keep it up and well done Mana

[@RichD1011]

This was a great game of Zerg vs protoss. Also nice to see a ground protoss army for once.. well at least for the most of the game.

[@yamilabugattas3895]

¡Gracias!

[@tylerjohnson4830]

It was so intense.. Both sides, neck and neck, I couldn't tell who was winning and losing. MaNa and Reynor truly deserve their recognition. It was a cherry on top for Lowko to cast this game.

[@lukasbrian8368]

funny I just watched an older MaNa game on your channel just before this, and during the match you kept describing it as a banger as wel. Seems MaNa makes banger games, and I want more lowko, I want more.

[@Rockpet]

Ahh the usual 3 best games of the year in 8 months

[@frostfrost8907]

We still have until december to get another one

[@astrapaladino6415]

[@IsThisHandleTaken]

wow no false advertising that was an absolute banger! Awesome game, I was cheering for mana ever since he had to deal with that insane push at the start. No idea how he survived that and kept his composure

[@fatalmystic]

the variety, the skill, the attention to detail ... what a gem!

[@RxrePlay]

Never seen StarCraft until last night. And your commentary making it even more interesting. Good job 👏🏽👏🏽

[@Spartsou]

18:17 Seems that Kerrigan got a hold of protoss warp tech. great game, Lowko!

[@Tom-yg7mi]

Probably one of the best games ive seen in a long time. And the most entertaining one for sure! Thank you for casting it ✌

[@pawea1347]

For much time of a match I've tought MaNa is going to lose (those damn zerglings clearing up his base), but high templar's Psoinic Storm is always the win. Greetings from Poland.

[@FirstLast-gk6lg]

Same I also thought Raynor was making a comeback, the Zerg and Tarren eco have such an easy time recovering from damage that I never really allow myself to get excited about Protoss early game damage.

[@Rockpet]

It's so much better when you see the protoss go ground toss that's why I like trap and parting

[@TheDarkTemplar3791]

Blizzard should do something with it. I know many people like ZvT as a best match up, but I personaly enjoy PvZ ground a lot more. So what about nerfing voids and buff something on protoss ground Blizzard huh? I know, nothing will happen 🤣

[@MarlonSolisFallas]

@@TheDarkTemplar3791 maybe if zealots had charge from the get go, Im still salty hydras are so expensive in this game tho.

[@TheDarkTemplar3791]

@@MarlonSolisFallas That will be broken on cheeses like proxy 4 Gateway, won't be?

[@wooiljung]

Maybe give high templars psi storm from the get go? Its an iconic ability, and one of the few that has to be upgraded, unlike siege mode or emp or fungal or abduct

[@knivesoutcatchdamouse2137]

@@wooiljung Nah, I think High Templars are fine as they are, since if they took away having to research it, they'd probably have to nerf its damage. I do think however that Abduct needs a nerf somehow. I think a good balance update would be mildly buffing Blinding Cloud and Parasitic Bomb (lower energy cost to 75 and 100, respectively; down from 100 and 125) and *maybe* increase Viper health to 175 BUT make Abduct cost 100 energy and require research to unlock, maybe 125 minerals, 125 gas and ~75 second research time? Research could be at the Hive.

[@bongkem2723]

the transition from ground to skytoss is insane !!!!

[@NinjaAdorable]

I was basically screaming the whole time... Such incredible play from MaNa!!! Hit every note a Protoss player like me looks for in a pro game! Juggling? Check. On POINT storms? Check. Incredible Purification Novas? CHECK. Late Game Skytoss? CHECK. Goddamn!!!!

[@yamilabugattas3895]

Wow, this was indeed the best game of 2021 so far. Not a dull moment in the whole game. I wish we could see more games like this, simply incredible.

[@lastmandalor123]

I dont know why I'm watching this again but that little hum you did of Dido's song "My teas gone cold I wonder why" sent me down a little nostalgia trip LOL

[@Uhthis]

Mana really impressed that game! Going toe to toe with Reynor has got to be intimidating.

[@ghostface0007]

GG 4 Mana. Thanks for casting this one Lowko, you are da man.

[@ModernRelik]

Great commentary mate! My highlight was you singing Dido, nicely done!

[@chulitna5838]

This has been on my watch list for a year now. Finally getting through it! Loved the game!

[@masterpwn3r]

Reynors drone count was once so low, Lowko mistook the army supply for drones. So let's be real here, Reynor was dead from the beginning...until he wasn't but at the end the difference in eco from the start was just too big, hats off to Reynor though, this was once of the best almost comebacks I have ever seen. And well controlled from Mana, we all know he is one of the best PvZers in the world.

[@rylexander1]

Seeing pros do what they've practiced extensively is incredible, in any sport or profession. That was insane.

[@TritonTv69420]

Lowko calling everything a banger in this video. Lowko. You are a banger of a caster hahaha

[@ManMan-od7gs]

Love how he says "I feel like I've been yelling into a microphone for 10 minutes" at the 10 minute mark

[@evlifestyle1001]

[@atesinsan]

I haven't seen a MaNa game is sooooo long (Geeezzz since HuskyStarcraft lol), I'm so glad he is still around. Great cast Lowko

[@JoseGarcia-kd7zu]

Man, that was a gripping game. What a great back and forth! Mana and Reynor, bravo amigos

This is maybe the 3rd video I’ve ever seen about Starcraft this crazy

[@Komatik_]

21:30 Imagine catching the opponent with his pants down and he just presses "Undo Colossal Mistake". Protoss is such a gem of good game design, it keeps on giving.

[@Catalysten]

This is literally the first game of StarCraft I've ever seen. (Played lots of AoE, tho'). In what way does Mana "undo" his colossal mistake? I've missed it.

[@Komatik_]

@@Catalysten Protoss gets surrounded but can just town portal the army to safety. T and Z have no such luxury, nor does most any normal RTS faction.

[@Catalysten]

@@Komatik_ I see! Yes, teleportation is very cool!

[@Komatik_]

@@Catalysten Cool, but not great game design when you can make mistakes and just press a button to not get punished for them.

[@StefanBanu]

What a game, props to you Lowko for this awesome piece of art.

[@Qichar]

We're all amazed at how well Mana played here, and I agree, he was amazing! However, let's acknowledge that if you 12 pool as a Zerg and it gets countered, usually it's an auto-lose. The fact that Reynor was able to make the game so competitive speaks to his ability.

[@kozatas]

12:24 Actually it was a pain to watch how 3 base 55 worker Protoss couldn't beat 2 base 41 worker zerg rather than the best game of the year.

[@FirstLast-gk6lg]

It's so frustrating how Economically resilient the Zerg and Tarren are. Their economies are SOOO much stronger than the Protoss eco and it bothers me how much damage a Terran or Zerg can take and not be beaten. Meanwhile a few banes or widow mines get into a Protoss mineral line and it's GG

[@Po101080]

Hey lowko, truly appreciate the casts, they're so fun to watch always! But is it possible to change back to the old UI? I find that I really need to see the amount of income per second to gauge their economies :)

[@ashra8281]

the fact that reynor lasted that long is actually insane

[@sienile]

I thought the same of Mana. They both kept beating each other down and being chased off by reinforcements.

[@Jecht1221]

Because Mana let Reynor back in the game many times. He could have pressured or scouted but he's sitting back while Reynor rebuilds his economy and army. It was frustrating to see Mana give Reynor so much room to breathe.
