StarCraft 2: Zerg vs Terran EXPLAINED!

Today's video is made in collaboration with Benetton. The sweater I'm wearing in this video: us.benetton.com/knit-sweater-...
In this video I go over my thought process in a game of Zerg versus Terran in StarCraft 2. I try to explain what's going through my mind and why I'm making certain decisions.

Whoa, big names sponsoring you Well done!

[@lopotmartin6991]

LOWKO KZbinr/Influencer ;-) The Hard work pays off. Respekt man. And BIG Thanks for 10 Years OF CREATING AWESOME CONTENT.

[@razorback9999able]

Yeah, but be careful who you work for, Lowko. A wrong sponsor could betray your community.

[@carlosasiu6032]

Kudos on the sponsorship Lowko! And a clothing brand to boot! Keep up the grat job, cheers!

[@braxtonfullmer1609]

Maybe now he can learn something about fashion.

[@ChaosGodII]

Our boy is a fashion model now. This feels so weird, but I'm so glad for Lowko! Way to go!

[@aa666aa]

Lowko I love you, but please reconsider accepting sponsorships from Benetton, they actually are an (especially) evil corporation. Not going to bore you with details here, but the owning family basically stole land from south american tribes and caused the collapse of a bridge in Genoa that killed 43 people a few years ago.

[@Calliamus]

@@aa666aa oh no, anyway

[@goliathmb18]

Man that sponsor hit me with so much nostalgia, we used to go to benetton alot back then to buy almost all of our clothes,(we used to take 4 hour trips, the store was in another country, we used to go to restaurants/amusement parks after visiting the stores Edit:had written benaton instead of benetton cause we used to say benaton back then lol

[@FullBringer1]

I am most impressed that Lowko can micro all that zerg with just his mind ! Impressive,most impressive !

[@oscargonzalez3599]

Of course, we all know that any cerebrate work with their physic powers and don't need to do anything, just think telepathic and command their units.

[@Topbao]

the true overmind!

[@genericanimeguy]

this is how i imagine myself when i’m playing lol

[@nishantpandey1980]

Woah lowko is getting big, sponsors lining up!

[@MrBimos555]

Outside of F1, I haven't heard the word "Benetton" in so many years. Congratulations.

[@Axolotls_out]

Seeing as you just ranked up from GM to bronze, it would be great to see more of these kinds of guides in the future!

[@Appollus_BD]

As someone who was encouraged to play StarCraft again due to your videos. Over the last few weeks. I really appreciated the breakdown and advice on where/how to improve. Mechanics can be discouraging...you made it sound normal and 'ok' which I loved.

[@noaccount4]

A sweater sponsor isn't the most obvious sponsor but these videos are comfy, so it makes sense to get sponsored by comfy shirt

[@mebbaker42]

Really enjoyed hearing you talk through the strategy. Would love to see the same game with a voiceover on how you’re mapping your cameras and assigning to your hot keys throughout the game for good army control and higher APM.

[@JakeRivers]

yesss

[@xitaris5981]

Don't mind me, I'm just counting the threads on Simon's sweater. His camera is amazing

[@matthewheadland7307]

Consistency is definitely the key. Btw, about 6 months ago I didn’t get much out of your videos, but now that I’ve got a bit more of a game sense I enjoy them! Been a lack of Zerg content recently, so appreciate this!

[@viper45x]

lowko and a sponsor?!? wow

[@redhammer92]

I love that he picked a sweater company xD

[@ViacheslavManulik]

Nice type of content we would like to watch more!

[@SebastianKaye]

Yes congratulations on the big sponsor @Lowko ! 😃🥳 I think it’s cute that you now have a larger video cam, as I assume the sponsees wanted their product to be visible in the video (understandably so) 😋

[@paulzi666]

congrats to the sponsorship, these types of videos are great, i would like to see some more these days

[@drulad43]

Awesome!!!, some of us still have troubles with mechanics. Going down the ladder is very frustrating. More hints and advises are really helpful.

[@Marktwoface]

Awesome! I really wanted an update on Zerg gameplay as of 2021. Thank you!!! 😃

[@bryteofficial]

Super helpful man! Low diamond but I've been away for a while and really helped me get back into the flow, especially watching space key hatch injects and Terran attack timings. Inspired to do some live streams of my own now, thanks dude! Melbourne represent! :)

[@guardianshaxx1671]

Would love a good mix of these videos with impartial reviews of other games. Love the videos and your helpful commentary.

[@markphelps6643]

Thank you, this is helpful! Looking forward to your ZvP as I’ve only won one game against Protoss this season.

[@fartquad326]

Lowko, I really like this video, and others like it. I learn very well by observation and explanation. This is much better for me than reading build orders and practicing in my head. I hope to see more like this in the future.

[@xitaris5981]

Rewatching 1 year later and I have to say this video is underrated

[@grim3897]

It's great to actually listen strategies being explained while happening, really educative

[@rodrigoc3345]

love the new format of comenting your replay rather than a live game, less scattered, would love to see this for terran and protoss as well

[@Dragonthreek]

Thank You, feels like its for me. I remember playing the 1st SC early 2000, and recently got the up to date Star Craft. I really like how polished this game is and how cool story line goes in Zerg campaign. Lowko, that is a truly great advice : )

[@TheAntow87]

more videos like this plz, and probably some going over build orders or mid game switches

[@igormatvejev6853]

Haven’t played StarCraft 2 for like 4 years, but I really enjoy watching your videos! Great job!

[@refablobb]

nice! im happy for you for that sponsoring! you deserve it ! :)

[@Duken6699]

This kind of videos motivated to my to play more on the ladder, keep the good work Lowko !!!

[@matiassarno7460]

This helped me a lot with my own gameplay, thank you lowko!

[@poopmastermike]

Please do! This style of video maybe once a week would be amazing!

[@sonslaw2240]

Congratulations on the new sponsor, Lowko! Nice sweater, too.

[@CrayXP]

nice video !! very interessting to watch you playin and explaining the strategy

[@usualcatz]

Really happy to see Lowko working with sponsors!

[@Vanta_Blue]

Videos like these, going from basics to advanced stuff, would be a big help for people that aren't familiar to the game, or feel stuck in their progress in the game. Making a playlist out of them could serve the community really well. =) And not just zerg. =P

[@sarkiskerrigan2407]

Old advice I remember and Lowko didn't listen to: don't play as red due to nukes

[@irurwurst]

I'm not sure if the replay system always shows the colors the player actually used in the game?

[@sarkiskerrigan2407]

@@irurwurst it shows red and blue, but you could change it to see colors used by players Yet it isn't replay so "there is no denying that" it is true

[@danielchincoyarodriguez9532]

Nice sponsorship, Lowko, congrats. And nice video, as always

[@sleepylight]

I liked this video a lot. Thank you. I have often wondered if there is a reason medivacs are not targeted by corruptors earlier in the game?

[@SimplyDingo]

@LowkoTV Really nice guide! I have one question though: When do you start setting up spores in your mineral line? I think there should be a timing for spores to be prepared for an early banshee.

[@eduardop2111]

scout at 4 mins should be the tell, if hes got a tech lab (especially if upgrading) on the starport, more queens and 1 spore in all mineral lines

[@dafuzzylobsterweasel]

"Hello All of My Sponsors, I'm name is Lowko and welcome back to another sponsorship" jkjk congrats on the sponsor :) Love your videos!

I would absolutely love more videos like this!

Loved it, would love more like this video.

[@pavelskultety194]

This product placement is so random :D. But I`m really glad for you Lowko! Love your videos.

[@giuseppebottazzi2464]

Man, thanks to those videos I switched to zerg! Of course we want more!!

[@TheCodFather141]

please make one of these for every matchup!

[@cravingkawasaki]

This video was great. Wouldn't mind more like it!

[@nahruz.w3044]

Nice video, this will help me a lot

[@yerbool]

Congrats) Happy for you getting spotted by big businesses. Well deserved!

[@arborealsquid2380]

I would love to see more videos like this! As a Terran player it was cool to see what a Zerg thinks about.

[@andrewkoskinen5080]

more of these would be nice.

[@JazzNeel]

How do you deal with massive amounts of tanks + marines + vikings as a zerg? 10 tanks, 20 marines with medivac support + 5 vikings (sometimes 1-2 widow mines)? They will usually hit around the 10 minute mark and I've never been able to overcome this and tap out. My scouting definitely needs to be better to figure it out before they hit that high amount of tanks but roach ravager or sling/bling /muta dies way too quickly because of the staggered tank placement (and marines for the mutas).

[@drokles]

Hey Lowko, I was wondering what's going on with your hotkeys. At one point in this game you ctr4 your zerglings to replace your hatcheries. Is this on purpose? I'm a total newb, so I can't tell.

[@SquintyGears]

I was going to say you're just redoing the dailies but honestly no new player is going to find those with the way the algorithm works and it's a very high quality refresher 👍

[@emlen5847]

Lowko, this helped me alot. If you can, can you do the same when againt zerg and protoss too? Very appreciated

[@josephfield6903]

I’ve been getting games where it seems standard but then they mass hellion during the beginning game and get cyclones instead of bio or they mass hellion but instead of mech it actually IS just bio but with hellbats and tanks. Then there’s also a few games with really early ghosts or fake bio (fake stim upgrade) into mass Thor

[@zacherymanning4239]

Lowko- likes to wear shirts without logos/advertisements Also lowko - advertises shirts XD

[@KoolMeester2]

I mean, the shirt has no advertisements on them. Its a clean shirt

[@Pasemak]

Thanks for the great video!!

[@sneakysquid8541]

Love this type of video!

[@HENTAICOMBO]

That a good explanation lowko

[@musiclore]

Awesome to see you sponsored! Congrats and great vid.

[@NuNaTtFenrir]

this vid help me alot ty lowko

[@RockeroNato]

holy shit. you're sponsored by benetton??? holy shit lowko! congratz! Tell em to come back to brazil, i bought my favorite shirt and jacket in benetton when i went to italy, would buy more 100%

[@MrNicoJac]

MOAR OF DEEZ VIDEOS PLEASE!!! ❤️

[@acarrot589]

How about aggressive creep spread,? even transporting forward queen's inside overlords. I never see it but I find it a cool idea

[@You-ul8qw]

Do not underestimate the power of scouting, having an overlord or overseer on a large loop around the map for constant scouting info would be a good idea, I once recently played a game vs terran mech where I was trashing my opponent. I had +3 +2 whilst my opponent doesn't have any upgrades, and was destroying every fight with hydra lurker viper. But I lost to a suprise battlecruiser transision, which killed all my tech and workers. I still had an army and with my phenominal upgrade lead destroyed 12 BCs for almost free, but was unable to kill any planetaries due to not having a big enough army and 0 workers to reinforce. My opponent made tanks as well so I couldn't get ontop of his production. Having just used my viper energy on the BCs I had one last ditch effort to win but the tanks destroyed my army which was forcing its way up a choke point. Do not underestimate scouting, or 12 BCs will destroy your main.

[@JurisKankalis]

Do the same for Terran, do the same for Terran, do the same for... you get the point. What I meant to say, an instruction course in SCII Terran would be greatly appreciated.

[@hugorincongaleana7489]

A cheese defence video series would be nice! Anyway, great work!

[@kirtdunlop6389]

Lowko, Rofl promoting clothes now. I died lol. so good.

[@jimcamacho8636]

I can't take in this information while this sweater is gleaming with comfort

[@dandab1664]

Ty for this video. ZvT us my worst matchup. Can you make a video on defending multi-pronged attacks? I lose like 100% of those.

[@HerrHoppenstedt]

Good lord, i thought at first my gpu was about to get fried. But luckily, it was only lowko raising his apm!

[@pabloviniciusortega]

yes plz make more

[@TheDarkTemplar3791]

Do you using WSAD to move with camera or you just using mouse?

[@Fuck_whoever_took_my_handle]

How do you use your mouse while also using your hands to articulate what you're saying?

[@siyichen9149]

Eye: This looks so easy. I think I can do it, too. Die, Terran! Hand: Sorry man I can’t do any of that. Brain: what was the build order again? What did you say about upgrade? I can’t remember any of that. Okay, what exactly did we watch again?

[@adoaso]

Yo! Loko, big fan here, long time no seeing your vids. Dude what happend? You look sick!

[@MrNicoJac]

@Lowko Never heard of that clothing company before😂 (but then my 'fashion' sense is 'comfy sportsgear'😅) So, but, you already bought and wore their stuff before the sponsorship? Or are you now trying out their stuff? If so, what are your first impressions? :)

[@lowsaac]

One of these with the new balance patch would be great!

[@soxanywhere9990]

Yes Sir. I need More stuff like this :D

[@parapoomba3426]

yes please more videos like this

[@georgelopez2001]

i shall also comment because lowko looks so dashing in that fabulous clothing🧐

[@diggingintolife3466]

Nice looking sweater.

[@ursa0607]

Question, out of curiosity - I see from your videos that a lot of times Zerg players like to burrow a single Zergling under expansion sites to deny the enemy a base. This works for a couple of seconds after the opponent arrives to expand, after which he gets in the detection, kills the 'ling and expands anyway (I'm not saying it's not useful - you get intel, the enemy wastes time/scans/APM/etc.). I'm curios why haven't anyone did this (or at least I never saw this done) - instead of burying one 'ling under the base site, bury 3-4 Banelings in-between the base position and the minerals? This way the opponent might expand without any knowledge of the trap, as he can build the base there with no hinderance, thus assuming that the Zerg player did not bury anything there, transfer the workers there, and boom, the entire mineral line is gone. Is there something about this plan that is too bad to do or some game mechanic that prevents this? Would be grateful to hear your answer :)

[@yerbool]

i saw some ladder guys start expansion with turrets and it would catch banelings beforehand. thus 1 ling is nt a big loss in comparison.

[@glowyboi7175]

You need more than 4 banelings to kill a whole mineral line... so its a lot of gas to have away from your army which you might need to hold a push.

[@enzomigflores]

Nice

[@4231jerome]

nice.

[@You-ul8qw]

Don't forget with attack upgrades, higher damage units also can gain more than +1 damage output from each shot, tanks and tempests can gain +5 damage per attack upgrade for every shot, which is why getting armor upgrades vs terran mech or protoss is a waste of money in most cases.

[@jesseharris8058]

i like theses types of videos
