I am DanceJunkie. When I won this game, I thought my life was complete. Everything else would be a disappointment. But then Lowko cast it...I am in silver league HEAVEN right now. Nothing can top this haha!

[@aarongazzaniga1929]

You did well. I was in tears laughing with joy at the end. I was soo happy you pulled through.

[@JM-nk4br]

Man that was an AWESOME macro come back, you are definately a part of the great SC2 history now !!!

[@carl5046]

Awesome! Good thinking on the planetary and the siege tank. You realized you needed to hunker down if you were to have any chance, and it worked! Also great taking initiative on the medevac drop. Stuff like this is good to see!

[@gunkanjima3408]

Love your comment, man 😂 keep playin!!

[@HAOSimulator]

Literally any other human being would have gged at 1 scv with a flaming command center, but you sensed your opponents weakness, and pulled it back. Fantastic job.

[@fe0ra103]

Sees scv rush: okay this is gonna end fast. Sees 30+min remaining: What on earth happened here?

[@veigar1001]

30 minutes later Hey what happen? LAMO

[@Rafael_Fuchs]

The sentiment of the last line just stuck with me through the whole experience.

[@hugopelland]

Haha get what you mean, but you did notice there were 2 games though, right?

[@ZC.Andrew]

At the end of the match: STILL not sure what happened here hahaha

[@Heatframe]

This game is like confusing,dumb and amazing at the same time...

[@bb-im6hf]

DanceJunkie had an SCV, a command center and a dream and they actually managed to pull it off

[@yollyobsequio8379]

A burning CC at that!

[@MarcoAnich]

A dream lmao

[@Zallori]

It was nice, Lowko does avoid mentioning the Blue literally went AFKed for like 5 minutes which is still the only reason he won lol

[@Illiadofmalorne]

I didn't think he was going to survive that Worm play.

[@CallinWire]

8:52 One missile turret = "Abandon ship!"

[@oce8329]

Hey Lowko, I'm not sure if you caught it but nasum's APM did drop to 0 and was not producing anything for quite a while around 12:22 when he lost the BCs, so it's safe to assume he went AFK and may have also experienced some slight hair loss.

[@BionicOne1]

Hair loss is equally bad to 0apm.

[@eggeggy4743]

maybe he was flexing being convinced he'd win easily and switched windows to browse and watch some GSL live? lolz

[@MrNicoJac]

It actually dropped to 0 and went back up most of the game. Include the middle where Red macroed his way back into the game... Well, sorta: Blue could've won at any point except for the last minute, if a competent played had been in command. Like, Lowko with one hand could've still won if he'd jumped in there.

[@TVsBen]

Nasum was watching with their head in their hands. Watching. Crying. Crying. Watching. Dying.

[@SC4eva1]

yeah he actually didnt produce anything for 3 in game minutes.

[@Kohlenstoffkarbid]

The win of DanceJunkie was fun and epic. So close to loosing at any point, but he did not give up and even managed to make this a win with his marines.

[@Desolate1134]

Whack spoiler comment, you can make the same comment without revealing who won.

[@damiendurakovic843]

Bruh, that nasum guy should just honestly give up on playing SC2. I don't like to be toxic, but after that cheese and the fact that the red guy made so many mistakes, the game should've been over in 6 minutes. At the end nasum even lost which is just mind breaking. If I was him I'd just give up on PVP at that point.

[@Kohlenstoffkarbid]

[@the_rabidsquirel]

This is why I love low league games. In that first one, nasum had so clearly, decisively won once they were 15 workers to their opponent's 1. Despite an insane advantage for most of the rest of the game, they somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

[@matrixfan566]

making the beam thicc is one of the greatest pleasures of silver league protoss

[@southpawdevelopment]

Yes Lowko the main reason Milo isn’t playing SC2 is his lack of fingers

[@ScBroodSc2]

Don't worry, cats can still press keys on your keyboard and push your mouse away. Theorically, they could play the game.

[@firebal6129]

Whenever I watch one of your pro game casts I get scared of the ladder, but whenever I watch viewer games I get inspired

[@jayemmzz8301]

23:34 the scouting nydus worm, cuz he barely gets any vision with the same overlord he used to plant the nydus. Then his response seeing the stargate is getting spire. This replay is absolutely gold

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

I always build Spire against P just because in lower leagues it's absolutely inevitable they'll be going Skytoss (or trying to). There's no point in scouting and I've very seldom got it wrong.

[@dmlarsen301]

I love watching Lowko lose his mind over these games, lol. Awesome.

[@enzomigflores]

lmao everyone does!

[@vaibhavbv3409]

There are many people who wants to play sc2 but just can't afford it.

[@babycankles297]

Bronze League Heros are just important to the SC2 scene as GM Pros. Change my mind

[@Potato-he8es]

How is he so freaking blind, he lost a entire mineral line without even reacting Those moments make everyone feel Lowko's pain

[@kindlin]

That I can get. I tried to play SC2 years ago, honestly just for a couple hours, and did just about as bad. I'd be focusing on one area, and I wasn't tuned into the 'your units are under attack' sound and I'd be short a mineral line or my army or something stupid.

[@Zallori]

He was afk, did you not see the 0 production and 0 apm for multiple minutes? Looks like he afked, then eventually went 'eh I guess I'll build some stuff' when he came back

[@stankobarabata2406]

See, I'd laugh, but I'm mostly the same most likely. Haven't played a real match since 6 years ago probably. I used to be good at managing the map at one point, but I was barely gold on 1v1 and plat on 2v2 and 3v3 and that was because my mates are better than me. So yeah, I'd probably get flustered with the amount of things happening sometimes. But that dude was clearly either afk a lot, or lagging or something. Cause when that happened nothing else was going on.

[@kriegsmanno.133lostinthewarp]

Here we slowly see Lowko lose his sanity

[@Feraldok]

The only explanation is that nasum is actually playing two games at the same time.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

I think my favourite moment was the Proxy Engineering Bay that appeared in a match I played in a few months ago. Absolutely legendary. Other honourable mentions include the Protoss Macro Nexus, the Proxy Twilight Council and someone who went mass Queens with no creep. I've seen dead people move quicker than that.

[@Alex-rt3po]

As someone who has never played Starcraft before, I feel like I’ve learned more from this video than from hours of watching professional games

[@squeekyclean1644]

You learn more from watching newbs play than from watching elites go on auto-pilot.

[@mchsprod]

That’s how learning works. By copying what the pros do, you leave out what makes their strategies work. By learning from the mistakes of others, you can put yourself in that position and say “if I get in that position I know what not to do” The fact is, people are better at identifying what makes something bad than what makes something good.

[@Alex-rt3po]

@@mchsprod Yeah that's true! There's much more to learn from pro games when top players commentate them, since the quality of the analysis (which is the important part for learning, not the level or quality of play in the example) is better. But, top players are much more rarely casters unless you seek out that content directly. Commentators who aren't top players are much better at giving insight into mistakes than correct play, which makes mistakes (and therefore lower-level play) better learning examples.

[@lord_termy5142]

Bad or not Dancemonkey showed that just only the aditude of not giving up might bring you the victory

[@MrNicoJac]

Only if your opponent has long stretches of 0 apm

[@hellothere_1257]

I wouldn't even call Dancemonkey bad. Sure, he didn't react well to that scv rush, but that's entirely excusable for an inexperienced player. Once he got his feet under him and started producing stuff again, he played a decent game for his level without any aggressively stupid mistakes.

[@RafaFerox]

[@superbird2814]

New SC2 word: "nasum"=doing strange senseless things because you're completely drunk. e.g. "Dude are you nasum? You have 10k resources and no units."

[@konnichi1wa]

It physically pained me watching nasum not make anything for 4 whole minutes after losing his battlecruisers

[@DuffTerrall]

I was drinking the whole time and it didn't feel like nasum.

[@EncryptedLiberty]

I was begging him to _make a second starport._ He spent so much time waiting because he wanted a certain number of BCs before he went out but he refused to spend the money on a second starport. How do you understand the necessity of multiple CCs, but not large-scale production?

[@videogameshub32]

Lowko once casted my silver game, and he was very nice and even gave some advices. I managed to reach diamond3, then went on to other things.

[@temushin]

This has inspired me to try to find the game where I accidentally expanded with an evolution chamber instead of a Hatchery, didn't notice for like 5 minutes that my drones were long-distance mining, and won anyway.

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

I once saw someone doing a Protos Macro Nexus, i.e. they just build another Nexus next to their original like a Zerg player might do with a Macro Hatch. Doesn't work like that...

[@Daren_PNW]

That first game was surreal, it nearly felt deliberately bad at time, how Mr Nasum played and reacted to change of situation. I would be tempted to think he was trolling if not for the fact that I’m bad enough to make similar mistakes.

[@mtti725]

It's been one month that im playing SC II and i actually didnt wanted to go on unranked matches so i learned the game through my placement matches, and i ended up bronze 1 ! This is actually kinda cool considering that everyone has his strategy to win at the early 5 min of the game so u learn to defend all of these cheeses

[@halfbakedproductions7887]

Even paid pros will occasionally use cheese. It's a valid strategy and it pays to be prepared for it.

[@inflatablewolfie]

Oh man Lowko... You're motivating me to start laddering even though the last time I played a versus against AI was in SCBW and I've never played against a human. I'm gobsmacked. That first one though going basically "There's no way you're going to win this" and gets it all turned against him. With the resources he had in the bank, he could have easily just planted down like 5 rax and pumped out marines and just F2 A-moved. I do sincerely have to give props to DanceJunkie who didn't win at the 30 odd second mark like he could have but still didn't give in and finally managed to get a win..

[@lexvtd]

That second game really got me wanting to see an Angry Coach Lowko

[@jordanuecker7744]
