StarCraft 2: Serral's WEIRD Proxy Hatchery Rush! (Best-of-5)

[@Russianninja956]

This is the darkest Serrel in the darkest timeline. The Cheese is superb, a fine series indeed. Showtime did a great job also, most people could not hold up to that assault.

[@zhiccai]

I think this was taken from a page from " Uthermal's for proxy hatch to grand Master"

[@twilightgardenspresentatio6384]

Delicious

[@adaptercrash]

Defender rush

[@IcariumGaming]

Proof he watches uThermal

[@Benomeno5]

Smoke detectors can activate with high humidity in room, since the inner part of the sensor is could be cooler than the room temperature and vapor can condense in it, which disturbs the chemistry or beam check of the sensor. Sometimes the dust fall inside the sensor (for a long time) and if you don't clean it regularly, the slightest movements in the air (like moving on the bed, a draft from poorly closing windows etc) can show it like there is a fire.

[@shadowling77777]

It was detecting the high humidity of sweaty nerds :D

[@flashnfantasy]

Sometimes to go off when they are low on battery.

[@Benomeno5]

@@flashnfantasy yeah but lowko changed all of his smoke detectors a few years ago, which charges up from the electricity network

[@martysonn]

@@Benomeno5 Damn Lowko watch out, you got a stalker over here

[@lukaspieper633]

Oh my god thats what keeps happening when I shower and leave the door open (for air circulation, I have a tiny bathroom without windows). I literally thought its the smoke particles stuck in my hair that get into the detector with the steam. Good to know haha

[@N0noy1989]

Harstem has said that Serral is the most dangerous if he has nothing to lose (more like doesn't care about losing). But if he's trying to win or protect his ranking, etc., that's where he gets pretty rigid and "boring". I hope he gets knocked down again. It's always awesome to see his climb back up like what happened earlier this year in Katowice when he entered god mode.

[@giuseppebonatici7169]

40:14 that roach tongue

[@CorvinhoDoMal]

Lowko, be aware that smoke detectors can also detect carbon monoxide, that sometimes can be generated without a large fire. If you're in doubt, call the fire department, they have a device that can measure the CO levels. These days the same thing happened to me, but it was not a false positive, the heater was really leaking CO gas, and we had to evacuate the house.

[@Discerned_]

44:16 I think it was the swarm host that really won the game.

[@antto9218]

the mind game "yeah that strat sucks" so none else tries his strat and people don't learn how to deal with it, always 1 step ahead

[@grenzviel4480]

Overseer could mess-up enemy timings. Definitely could get a lot more use. Delaying combat shields would be amazing when Terrans stim.

[@vladmarcu3536]

Thank you Lowko! . only played sc maybe 10 years ago, but i Like listening to lowko

[@HotLogic1990]

WHAT !? Serral cheese !? What's next? Sun coming up from the west ?

[@isaacgame7304]

Hey lowko, at 12:15 your smoke detectors probably need their batteries changed. If you have a few of them in your home, one needing a battery replacement can cause them all to go off if they're wired to power together. Contact your maintenance team via work order if you live in an apartment complex, they'll have it situated in a few minutes. Or, if you want to yourself, you can also change them. It's usually a side compartment with a 9-volt battery that just slips in and out.

[@Dank_Lulu]

If it's an ionization smoke detector and the dust has an opposite electrostatic charge of the ionized air in the sensor chamber, it could get attracted to it once airborne. IIRC some ionization smoke detectors have a bit of americium-241 in them that ionizes the air so there's a chance that what woke you up was a little tidbit of *freedom* .

[@IYPITWL]

The kid who built a reactor in his back yard scavenged his radioactive material from old smoke detectors.

[@aviowl]

Lowko time! time to watch game while forgetting to eat. favorite time of the day

[@vape_monkey]

love how the first 1:45 is not part of the cast. Great work!

[@Xport9]

Serral wants to leave the venue as fast as he can. Such a gamer move.

[@2Sor2Fig]

5:30 - Yeah, Lowko seems like one of those people whose equally nice in person.

[@jenbak2]

40:12 Funny little from-the-grave abduct there.

[@Pfasma5]

I like that you are getting the games out earlier….it is during my lunchtime on the east coast of the US

[@Rezzhuanne]

I'm always waiting for a Serral match... Noiice!

[@cosmicprog1]

Nnn

[@torch_k8110]

Well this is the time to show all your tricks as the huge patch is coming! All the crazy strategies have been pretty cool to see

[@1KamaronConClase]

What a series! highest SC2 caliber gameplay for sure!

[@sr.lontra]

Showtime and serral??? This is gonna be a banger video (And I'm weeping in advance for showtime hah)

[@ddmdUp1]

Smoke detectors are sometime carbon monoxide detectors also, but they should beep a different alarm

[@jsudlow12]

That really was a blood bath and I loved every minute of it

[@CassiusProps]

Smoke detectors tend to beep "for no reason" if the battery is about to die so you know when to replace them ahead of time. Worth checking out

[@archiepat1345]

Florencio will be so proud of Serral…..

[@ericz6024]

20:32 Again, the chosen one of the swarm host

[@TheCrysis3131]

@Lowko you can check the battery on your smoke detectors - they ring if it gets low (knowing from experience..) (; and as always thank you for the upload!

[@alextihor1190]

The exact moment you said: "some of you will have probably hovered over the timebar", I hovered over the timebar

[@danielgalvez7953]

one of my favorites in a while

[@PotatoMan1491]

I had my pants off when lowko depicting the first match, not disappointed

[@aaroncheng3927]

i love the old serrel king, full control and scouting the whole map

[@evelic]

Homestory Cup is my favorite StarCraft 2 tournament. Lots of fun.

[@michaelisrael6558]

"How does dust fall up anyways?" Pretty sure my neighbors heard my laughter at this.

[@hivetech4903]

21:12 Its Ricky the accidental Swarm Host! 😜

[@DisillusionedAcronym]

that proxy hatch in game 1 is on par for filth as scarlett's cheese on rogue. i love it.

[@jarrod752]

So at like 5:56, Was Showtime just mining minerals and dumping them so they weren't available to his opponent?

[@adamdean9122]

That was a sick cheese by Serral first game!

[@neocow45]

i've seen the production overly in some matches actually show an icon for chronoboosting but not on this overlay. does anyone know why or is that a new thing not often used?

[@mattmister6138]

Love the sc commentary. You ready for storm gate?

[@Raznagoran]

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain! Serrel has lived and excelled long enough to become the Starcraft Villain... even stronger than Amon!

[@pw3829]

Someone did that to me on platinum league a few weeks ago. Needless to say it wasn’t *quite* as well executed as that.

[@CubeItself]

the zoun interview part it gave me such a good giggle

[@chir0pter]

very cool strats from Serral

[@viktorkardell9366]

Serrall the Mackerel Monster is actually the villain of the little-known Lovecraft story Shadow over Finnsmouth

[@byzantines2000]

sometimes smoke detectors going off without any fire could be a fire in the walls, which could smolder for a while

[@Kingsman51895]

I’m already try it, super useful!

[@Shroud83]

"Kosmischer Saphir"... I had to rewind to get that... :D

[@Germanchiksaw]

Dieser Kommentar ist nun Eigentum der BRD :)

[@benjamineidam]

Serral-Day = GOOD Day! Thanks for this Video! Edit: Serral the macro-nonstop Necromancer Serral the Mackerel

[@Spartsou]

when my parent's smoke detector went off, they grabbed a broom, and was 'sweeping' the air to get the smoke away from the detector. I'd recommend to find out why the smoke detector went off, or, was it chirping or constant, if it's chirping, it means the battery is low.

[@Thekamikazin]

LowKo, could you please refrain from giving spoilers about the results? If you tell us that Seral wins the tournament or comes far or that ShowTime ends up winning the tournament or something like that, it will tell us the winner of this game AND spoils any other videos I'm preparing to watch from the HomeStory cup. And I thoroughly dislike spoilers.

[@pnnnnnnnnnn1234]

At day he is a nice and kindly person, but never hold him away from bed. Then its showtime for the badass mode.

[@raywang1955]

謝謝！

[@Raiptor90]

Hey Simon, I dream that 4 of as we meet on a vacation, was so funny 😂

[@mindsprawl]

Serral's new rush is smoking that crack.

[@Panda-cp9cs]

had to listen to you talking german 3 times cuz it was that hard. keep practicing you got it

[@Nazz-b7p]

Hmm just check smoke detector batteries, ours tend to lose it and more frequently too when the batteries start to die.

[@jordanleighton6893]

16:18 “Serral is forced to macro” I’m sure he’s going “oh nooooooo” lmao. He do be being weirdly aggro tho. Curious why

[@abcdeeer]

we must thank newton for his invention of gravity. he creation has had direct consequence on sc2, without him, it would be possible for 2000 atmosphere and data-c to function properly

[@bonesnap6369]

Serral, the Mackerel Monster is a big fish in a small pond.

[@hivecasts]

@Lowko - smoke detectors going off from time to time for no reason could be an indication that the battery is getting low and should be changed as well :)

[@PCRyder]

Serral: "Idk. Maybe I try cheese Has: *Curls up next to Serral, stroking his hair* Whispers in his ear, "Doooo itttttttttt."

[@h4hyena]

I need to tell people about this. I was playing sc2 as you do. In platinum league and was playing as zerg against skytoss. Now I am allergic to making corruptors so I am going hydras and I actually use microbial shroud proficiently for the first time in 2 years since the ability came out.

[@asdfasdf-mn8iu]

Shroud gets countered by storm though.

[@cosbusta]

ZvP that isn't massive air armies not attacking each other for 40 minutes? Wow, sign me up!

[@RMJ1984]

They should really consider tweaking contamination to make it a viable indirect harassment option for zerg, either it needs reduced energy cost, or the overseer needs an energy regen upgrade.

[@Dallows65]

Serral broke through the wall. Dayum

[@snagsTS]

Oh humble lord Lowko please cast Serral vs Byun next!

[@NB-lq5wl]

that game 3 was insane

[@jordanleighton6893]

Some uncharacteristic mistakes from them both, but an extremely well played match by both players. It felt a little bit like two boxers, except one of the boxers decided to turn it into a straight up gun fight with extras and everything and neither of them actually started with a gun. The scrambling and chaos that ensued made good entertainment tho

[@josephmcallister2719]

if i ever see you at a tournament, im shout, LOWWWWWKOOOOOOOOO

[@bumperfrank]

I've just started a new drinkink game: 1 shot everytime Lowko says "anyhow"! :P

[@VivoDraconis]

i think we need anyhow/anyway counters in future videos :D

[@uvuyguyuygvkuyhgvkuygvkuyg6843]

we love u lowko !

[@BrandonMB608]

Where can I find all these tournaments live? I can never find them.

[@lisasebella]

Could your smoke detector be registering c02?

[@althair7720]

Nice ! Next it will be Byun playing cheesy zerg

[@althair7720]

But anyway it's really Nice To see a Serral game again

[@McMikeful]

The smoke alarm goes of when your battery’s are low aswell

[@jbullmann10]

This series feels like Serral just BMing oponents

[@kristianstanimirov4931]

I see nobody adressed the story of your smoke detectors, so... It was hilarious 😂

[@icecream6256]

i wish you would just edit occasional pictures of serral being mildly annoyed he cant get his 8 hours of sleep

[@cazibar3706]

Does contaminate prevent scans?

[@DanteScarlet]

Hey Lowko, have you seen the balance change to Abduction make a large impact yet? Or have Vipers basically been the same as they were prior to the patch?

[@thepalagoon]

Technically speaking, the map names are written in Konglish, which are English words transcribed directly into Korean.

[@adrien7574]

Would love to see a FFA with all best zergs in world ^^ Serral,rogue,Scarlett,etc... Anyway beautiful BO3 from both especially game 2

[@asdfqwerty9241]

FFA doesn't really work at a competitive level because the optimal strategy is basically always to just turtle and do nothing. Even if you succeed at attacking someone, you'll still end up losing because it costs too much to do it. It either turns into a game where players make agreements to let one of them win and split the prize or a game where all of the players turtle and nothing happens until people get too bored.

[@alexanderbieler3897]

The mackerel monster

[@Rezzhuanne]

Anime title idea: I want to sleep, so I went super aggressive

[@arngorf]

Chat GPT3: "The joke "Life was a lot more fun before Newton invented gravity" is a play on words that relies on the listener's understanding of the concept of gravity as well as the historical context in which it was discovered. Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and scientist who is famous for his work on the laws of motion and gravity. In 1687, he published "Principia Mathematica," which described his laws of motion and the concept of gravity as a force that attracts objects towards each other based on their masses. The joke "Life was a lot more fun before Newton invented gravity" suggests that before the concept of gravity was understood, people could behave in a carefree and unrestricted way, as if gravity did not exist. This is meant to be humorous because it is clearly impossible for gravity to have been "invented" in the way that the joke implies, and it also implies that the concept of gravity has somehow made life less enjoyable or less free. Overall, the joke is intended to be a light-hearted and humorous way to make a reference to the concept of gravity and the role it plays in our everyday lives."

[@kanzakierika1428]

damn it that serral smile

[@hisazul]

What happens when you infest a planetary fortress? Can it still shoot?

[@loeken]

That smoke detector is not maybe a gas detector too?

[@danielbob6900]

Smoke detectors beep when there batteries are low

[@mindaugasgrigaliunas3743]

Say Hi, dont stare... I liked that :))) Thnx for video, and Merry Christmas

[@RandomMusik]

We all thought you won with a troll tactic but you discovered it before the best player did

[@onyxthedark]

I saw Harstem lose to this proxy hatch on that map once, and then he himself did it like 3 times

[@paulmew2485]

This video is more meta than Marks entire Metaverse

[@arkonneke]

Had the same problem with a smoke detector once, turns out the battery was almost depleted...

[@Pseudoku_RL]

The phonetic translations like for Cosmic Sapphire are common in asian languages for western words. For example, the Chinese word for chocolate is chiao ke li

[@brett2themax]

Replace the batteries in the smoke detectors

[@stevehuk902]

If you contaminated a nexus would that prevent mining? That would be the most op yet under used abilities ever
