As a native English speaker, I can confirm that this was an absolute bratwurst of a game.

[@canobenitez]

what is bratwrust I'm miissing some german lore or something=

[@thisgraincharacter6400]

@@canobenitez bratwurst is a type of sausage, and so is banger (bangers and mash) which is why Google gave Lowko bratuwurst as an alternative :)

[@OneLoveMeBruduh]

Absolute bratwurst casting lowko

[@arcane3327]

11/10 Bratwürste from germany 😂

[@jimraynor3767]

Your stupid comment makes no sense. Bratwurst is a German delicacy and you're a self-admitted native English speaker. Get your shit together.

[@csmlouis]

This is absolute bratwurst of a match. Very rare to see both late game macro pros scrapping by with low eco, non-maxed out armies. This version of Serral is very entertaining to watch.

[@injectormajor]

C'mon Serral had 2x superior economy like from 7 min

[@lilkoolaidbro]

Hey Lowko, I've been following your channel for at least, idk, 8 years? This isn't much, but just wanted to say thank you for all the great content over the years!

[@LowkoTV]

Hey! Sorry, I only just now noticed your comment. Thank you very much!

[@lilkoolaidbro]

@@LowkoTV no worries at all Lowko! Thank you!

[@mv3507]

Idk about you guys, but when I saw the title, I was NOT expecting swarm hosts

[@jonaskoelker]

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! I mean swarm hosts...

[@Anon-nj4ub]

I found this channel recently and ive fallen in love with it, i used to play starcraft in 2013-2015 when i was around 10-12 years old, and watching your content just brings back old memories aswell as giving me an indepth view on starcraft that i wasnt able to understand when i was younger. So thanks for continuing to cast these pro games :)

[@ChillChaffee]

Same! Been watching people play starcraft when i havnet played in 9 years. Dont play games anymore and couldnt see me downloading it, but the nostalgia kick from the videos has me addicted. Didn’t even know they had pros when i played back then

[@andreasarmada3029]

Your in the good parts of youtube if you found this this channel. We're happy your back with this community

[@theGECK042]

Hello Anon and welcome, to the best Dutch streamer around

[@rosendoromanojr]

sc was played since 1998. And that is also where Aeon of Strife was played and now DoTa from different game genre MOBA.

[@MetalMan1245]

I have such a similar story, I love it.

[@FragnarokNethermaster]

An absolute pepperoni for sure! I loooove swarm hosts, and today is my birthday!! Thank you Uncle Lowko for being the goat caster

[@kyouma0519]

it almost seemed like cure was playing against 2 people at once, serral is so scary man

[@thisgraincharacter6400]

Not sure if this is normal and I just miss it, but Serral speeding up his creep spread by having the Overlord vomit creep and then walk the queens over to plant down the creep tumours seems like a really nice detail to me.

[@DarksCards]

Serral is a beast, all time favorite player. The control of all the different units is insane.

[@SaltpeterTaffy]

As someone who knows what "bangers and mash" is, I was waiting with bated breath for the surprise ending to your little linguistic adventure.

[@ZDarabos]

Muuuuum, Serral is playing with the food again!!!

[@Zeracan]

Being a "bit of a banger" means that if I ever take a break from watching your videos and just choose a random one when I start again there's a high chance of it being a banger.

[@Vyhox2000]

Another thing that should be on the bingo card, is when Lowko misspeaks, he almost always says "Or, _____, rather" to correct himself.

[@lixnix2018]

What the hell Bratwurst as a synonym I love it

[@renansantos8456]

You've missed one phrase on the Bingo: "something along those lines" Cheers from Brazil :)

[@eckroattheeckroat4246]

I 110% would love if you cast full tournaments. I would love to see more multigame series. I know you're knida chasing a consistent video length for youtube. But I would love to see more short games, or even long series broken up across multiple videos. absolute banger = this game SLAPS

[@joeyt8643]

Just wanted to say thank you for always having great casts. I feel like you're top tier (out of any game) for match choice and for commentary quality. Keep up the good work!

[@matteorizzardi3717]

The lowko bingo actually killed me

[@diamondsnowwolves1489]

Absolute banger synonyms result 1: Absolute banger 2: ABSOLUTE BANGAH 3:Bongo 4: (My personal favorite) absolute banger

[@danielhartley9003]

loved the lowko cast as always!

[@96annihilator]

+ Lowko bingo: 1. Spawning here in the /_/ - /_/ hand corner, playing with the /_/ /_/ /_/, we have non other than /_/. 2. To find out what exactly ended up going down on /_/. 3. Top-tier zergs having 3-4 hands. 4. Scary skytoss force. 5. Hell of an army. 6. Pack a punch. 7. That's a bit of a banger.

[@phunglung69420]

"This an absolute SLAPPER of a match!!"

[@jonnyboy6453]

Intense, unbelievably amazing, awesome, etc.

[@RamonesFan201]

Serral locking Cures ferocious looking army in the center around the 15 was strategically genius. That army had the potential to end the whole game, Serral then starts messing with his economy through Guerilla maneuvers. And Cure couldn't do much cause the main bulk of his force was locked down in the center being picked off little by little. I woulda been frustrated as hell in Cures position. 🤣 And yeah, Its a banger of a match.

[@hansolo631]

I'm not gonna pretend to analyze gameplay of players exponentially better than myself but he let himself be harrassed into a dead economy all-in by some really mild stuff, like a half a dozen muta

[@falcolombardi8385]

Thanks Lowko. I needed this after GSL last night.

[@tylerrichardson6712]

Thanks for the videos! I lunch with your content every day

[@propeacemindfortress]

Lowko... like a kid on Christmas morning can't wait to cast it now^^ nice!

[@johnsontommyg]

Lowko they don't all have to be absolute bangers. Some of them can just be a heck of a match.

[@davidlykins5453]

Love you and your content Lowko❤

[@trip_.j]

Great, can start off my day with a bang

[@k_waffle8396]

Banger alternative = absolutely lowko

[@TheVirtual3]

1:22 I need a Lowko Bingo card now

[@davidbjerke6209]

I'm always a fan of the old fashioned Slobberknocker myself. Could also say an absolute blast. Or a hootnanny if you wanna get fancy.

[@Erati243]

lol @23:36 about Cure with 79 supply: "his best bet at this point in the game is to go for a maxed out army" ..... with 29 workers......

[@jacobedkins1997]

It was an absolute firecracker of a game

[@Late0NightPC]

I've always prefered using "adore" to refer to stuff that really got me hooked. Technically it means something like "loving someone/something very much", but it's usually associated with ye olde fancy nobility which means it's rarely ever used, so when you DO actually hear it, it really stands out against something like "I loved that" and gives the feeling of something being so amazing you can't tear your eyes away.

[@dariusgunter5344]

This is an absolute blast of a match! This should be an absolute masterpiece of a game! Why I was told this game is a ln absolute giga banger of a game!

[@Spartsou]

That was sick!

[@daethalion1725]

Absolute banger -> slobberknocker -> slugfest

[@proofofpower]

Synonyms for “banger”: - “Slugfest” - “Barn-burner” - “Spectacle” - “All-Timer” (like “all-time great match”) - “One for the ages” - “Must-See” (or “must-see TV”) - “Thriller” - “Scorcher”

[@SnyperMK2000JclL]

Badass, amazing, stellar, impressive, sweet, awesome, so on and so forth... Also I love how you are looking for another word for banger and didn't realize Google would think you were talking about something like "bangers and mash" aka Sausages... xD

[@rogue-ish5713]

Thank you Lowko for keeping the casting going

[@edgeless5]

Just a couple thousand subscribers till Lowko hits the big 500k!

[@julienwickramatunga7338]

Thank you so much for all the good content! Keep on the good work 👍 Bratwurst !

[@sheauwn6974]

The lingo of the Lowko bingo was so accurate

[@propeacemindfortress]

Alternative for absolute banger? What a Harstem of a game 😂

[@celrak7667]

I’m French and the timing of your video is perfect, I watch your videos after my diner and i want to say thank you for your qualitative content !

[@tackion5371]

This game sums up why it’s impossible to not love Serrall

[@mysterionline4512]

Serral is the best 🚀

[@jamesshelton308]

Was playing this in the background, when I suddenly heard "battlecruiser" and the video had only been playing for 5:30 lol

[@TheHighborn]

That was a masterclass on Zerg

[@brianmendelson1736]

in America, we sometimes say "that was a real hard-on of a game". you might want to adopt that expression

[@LowkoTV]

Thanks Brian, very helpful

[@zegreatpumpkinani9161]

Do we say that?

[@itsdripordrown7702]

Thank you for uploading daily.

[@seanirvin7157]

For you, lowko, I have some synonyms. "Banger of a game" - amazing game - wicked game - awesome game Dang you've said all these before.. let's get more creative - dope game - daddy game - ASTONIHSING game - impeccable game - absolute banger

[@mad6048]

Nahh man, bratwurst all the way. 😉😁

[@EelsOnWheels]

Thanks!

[@hollyjarvis1131]

Serral's Overlord push is a strat I think I'm going to play a lot more often.

[@redcreyes]

It won't be a Lowko cast without you following the trail of a nuclear missile.

[@CT-2187_Jek]

good day commander! i love watching your videos! they are funny, creative, and fun to watch!

[@Big5ocks]

"good morning" at 8pm?! I'm not sure I can get used to this version of Lowko... ;)

[@lemanruss7218]

I have to find a way to incorporate swarm host play into my game. I feel they are really good at breaking out of a deadlock with Terran seige tanks

[@iambrett333]

this was an awesome game

[@mechadoggy]

5:20 “Bratwurst? Frankfurter? Liverwurst? Pepperoni?”

[@trevory9959]

What a great game

[@VinayKapadiaVK]

Lowko mentioned my bingo cards, love it! I'll add "Banger" to the list.

[@FRoZeNShAdY]

Barn burner is a synonym I like.

[@BulletDumas]

AWESOME!!!

[@nexstepstuff]

I’m partial to “Barn Burner” and “Screamer” as synonyms to banger

[@Kaiyuni]

I will say that where I think Swarm Hosts excel in the terran matchup is that it forces the siege tanks to unsiege. Because if they don't, they just nuke their own allies while trying to kill the locusts. You can see it a few times during the match where they needed to be unsieged just so they'd stop killing their friends as much as the (replaceable) enemy.

[@keva3563]

For Lowko Bingo -- need to add "A couple of..."

[@mauholst]

Hey Lowko! Have a nice day :D

[@TheOriginalBagelstein]

"Math in a video" is sorely lacking from that bingo card.

[@schicianot]

That was quite the spicy sausage of a game!

[@Selvek]

NOBODY expects the swarm host transition!

[@mirrorimage2866]

'Excited to find out what exactly ends ups going down' could also be on the bingo list

[@Neceros]

How can I watch the leagues live? Is GSL the most active?

[@gergoolle5773]

That bingo game could be a drinking game as well 😆😆

[@jaggedscar]

Fyre AF

[@owen9456]

idk why but god I love watching good terran mech play as always though, serral is just really good too either way, great game

[@kyeanderson6748]

“Shit slaps” there you go 🖤😂

[@NikksTV]

We need more series casted also, instead of saying serral swarm host maybe serral uses this surprise so its more mind-blowing to see him use that

[@kris5065]

If anyone can make "It's an absolute bratwurst" of game stick as the new lexicon, @LowkoTV can.

[@jakebrewable]

The whole shebang seems relevant to what the thors were doing to those queens

[@MrTBSC]

that banger alternative from google wasn´t exactly the yellow from the egg ... ...

[@ChristianSandviknes]

Can someone better than me explain why Serral cancelled his baneling speed at 6:41? Was the reason what Lowko said? To get units (more muta) out?

[@giruv3208]

looking at the replay that is what he did, after the cancel he spend all his bank for Muta and doesn't make any Bane for quite a while. Bane can't do much against against Hellion and BC comp, while Mutas is great because they can chase bc and snipe Hellion for free.

[@slippytoad9399]

Instead of absolute banger, Lowko should go with cocobolo. "This wasn't a regular game, it was a cocobolo game!"

[@gustavogarcia8783]

That's a lot of Thors!

[@patricknolan932]

HOW IS "FAIR ENOUGH" NOT ON THE BINGO CARD!?!?

[@mad6048]

I'm not really into watching any Starcraft stuff. But you got me watching this one fully and pressing the like button. All because of "bratwurst". Made me laugh a hell of alot. Thank you for that sir! 😁

[@MetalMan1245]

Yes.

[@icecream6256]

"But this match right here is an absolute banger" - Literally all games lowko casts

[@RL-cp1cx]

Serral can be so disrespectful its amazing every meme in one game

[@luisfonseca9045]

This game was an absolute pepperoni.

[@MrTBSC]

this cast for some reason made me hungry ...

[@digisoul4]

Ok but for real, you can say "Absolute beauty", feel like thats a good synonnym

[@kyle8971]

After this game it is official, Lowko is the Sausage King of SC2.

[@nicklindberg90]

This game was a real frankfurter

[@jimtang6533]

absolute pepperoni

[@jcchan312]

When i heard "What did Serral have for breakfast?", my first thought was automatically "Probably bratwurst" haha

[@eydok5114]

I couldn't even beat the tutorial so I never continued the game :D Always fascinated by these top level players.

[@matthewhumphreys1879]

Hey Lowko, love your stuff! Here are some possible alternatives to absolute banger: Utter madhouse Crazy rager Stuff of legends Knock-down slugfest Sick contest Clash of titans
