THIS is how Protoss should have been played all along!

[@danielbucherl3745]

I have never played StarCraft against a human opponent, but I have been watching it on and off for years now. I dunno, i find it relaxing. A bit of variety, a lot of repetition. There is just something about it. And Lowko is also a very likeable caster. Not sure about irl tho 🙃

[@raizensmuscoo381]

i'm in the same boat with you bro. Can only add one single thing, MaxPax is the best :D

[@Abrakadabra-e9k]

Lowko is not real human. He is a starcraft - commentating AI. It's common knowledge

[@TheCaptainDamage]

It's known ​@@Abrakadabra-e9k

[@Fishbro]

@@Abrakadabra-e9k Lowko is an announcer AI in available in the SC2 store.

[@SpockrulesBJJ]

Lol same. I played the campaigns but I just like watching the matches.

[@DanielBeck-c2l]

Starcraft is the pinnacle of competitive gaming, even after all these years. I love watching the pros and play myself from time to time.

[@SaltpeterTaffy]

6:43 "Mom, can we do stalker aggression?" "We have stalker aggression at home."

[@paulzagieboylo7315]

MaxPax blinks those stalkers back like he's freaking AlphaStar. The guy's just completely nuts.

[@noneofyourbusiness4133]

Maybe he IS alpha star? A rouge researcher who took the data and ran. Could explain some things.

[@febndykwik]

I think what made me keep watching SC2 games is the high quality videos by Lowko. Crisp picture, loud audio (in a good way), great commentary. If you cast other games, perhaps they could have a good viewership as well.

[@Kenjin536]

It's like chess; we all know how to play, and appreciate the best players in the world battling it out, and very importantly - appreciate excellent commentary that understands the game at a very high level

[@huynhat8323]

did i just see gumiho forget to load any unit into that medivac at 21:24 and then quicky boosted back home once it arrive 😂

[@macedindu829]

I started watching SC2 in like 2015, based on watching TB play on the ladder. I had no idea how the game worked, but I loved watching his Saturday streams with Geoff. I never even tried to play the game until it went free to play, and even after that, I've only ever played a handful of games against actual opponents. I still love to watch it tho.

[@patrickbellino5815]

I've been watching you for years! Been playing since the orginal starcraft 1998. One of my favorite games!! Got the beta version of wings of liberty!!!

[@orangepearlf40]

I don't understand how terrans need towels when they have mules.

[@luckygozer]

SC2 is one of those games that I actually do love playing. But only after putting in a good amount of hours to be somewhat ''decent'' at it again. Which can just be a lot to ask sometimes.

[@Joelandb58]

I love watching all of the pros, but I just get so excited when you announce MaxPax as the Protoss opponent

[@TheKingoftheriff]

"It's easy bro, just play like MaxPax."

[@Mikivericks]

Thanks for the video, Lowko. Stalker micro is some legendary stuff to watch. ❤

[@Kragh50]

I very much like that you added another series to not spoil how long the 1st series lasted.

[@ShirosTamagotchi]

It would also be funny if the title says "THIS is how Protoss should have been played all along" and then the Protoss gets completely stomped 2-0 by a terran stim timing.

[@orangepearlf40]

That 3rd game for maxpax was textbook. Keeping that terran bioball count low and getting a 3rd/4th. Gg wp

[@fanofsporks]

No way, I used to use a towel for the mouse hand and moved onto having a mini fan. Its pretty cool to hear kr pros have come to the same solution.

[@isaacoliveria2448]

Man I click on this vídeo ready to be baited... I was waiting for goblin... but I was actually Max, wow.

Havent played in at least 10 years. Watch almost every one of your videos. Really a fantastic break from rl lol

I reaaaally want to see what GuMiho does with the new patch.

@5:15 Bob putting in overtime, damn.

[@runeid1]

I haven't played a match in like 8years, but i've watched plenty of lowko's videos.

[@SebuWayne]

maxpax and byuN are players who hardly make any mistakes. they read you before you know what you want to build :D

[@trevyG]

Honestly I enjoy Protoss more than any of the other factions when played really because it just seamlessly moves better imo so nice micro matches are just pleasant to watch

[@kosmosXcannon]

17:42 when you think about it. All matches are determined by whoever throws the most. Simple advice is to just play perfectly to avoid throwing the match.

[@Spartsou]

Yes, I knew it would be MaxPax! Thanks, Lowko!

[@hvip4]

No one can deny that StarCraft II is one of the best RTS there is. And RTS is the king of strategy. I still watch some high level league of legends, but there is a hard limit to what can be done at peak skill level. In StarCraft you have no peak skill level, you could theoretically control up to 200 units individually and that's indeed just the micro potential, that no human player can reach. When you add the macro you're really looking at a (close to) infinite set of games without a hard skill ceiling. Sure a lot of the games will be similar thanks to optimization and evolution but there is always the potential to play better, to get that extra 1% over your opponents. The only way to hurt this game is if they start balancing it against the top players and the top 20 just kind of averages out, but despite a lot of debates and strong reactions to new balance patches it is not yet happening at a scale that would matter. Looking at the absolute beasts like Serral is the proof of this. Just the potential for the gap to be so large between top three and the other top 10 and between top 10 and the rest of the world shows how much individual skill matters in this game. I've never played StarCraft and minimum RTS when I got my first PC, but I'll continue to watch it.

[@decoymonkey]

My hands have the opposite effect during intense gaming sessions. They get super cold… hand warmers are my best friends 😆

[@SilkyJonson]

I haven’t played StarCraft since it came out in the 90’s. But I do enjoy watching pro level StarCraft.

[@patrikhala1910]

22:36 - Sometimes it's exactly like that! 😂

[@screes620]

I feel like phoenix openers become a lot more viable in the new patch, especially with the ability to energy overcharge your first couple phoenix to get a lot more lifts in the early game.

[@pheonix940]

I actually used to play quite a bit of SC2, at least the single player and coop. Decided to try pvp, played a couple of 1v1s, had some fun. Then I tried out 2v2. My first match, all three other players canon rushed. Teammate started trash talking me because I didn't support his attack, despite him not saying a word, and because I was unranked. Didn't play much pvp after that. That experience really just turned me off to it.

Is it weird that MaxPax reminds me of a version of OpenAI agent training they did back in 2014-2016? Its almost the same god tier level micro specifically with those stalkers lmao.

[@georgeclueney4419]

1:00 Hyperhidrosis, horrid to deal with. Has multiple different severities. Constant sweating in certain areas of the body. Palms are annoying and I also do the towel thing.

[@sc2youtube744]

I feel like I never see build order losses from terran. It's always protoss that doesn't scout a cheese and loses. People always say toss is cheesy but terran proxies are so much more impactful than and little cheese toss does

[@GreenT_LoR]

8:37 The correct term is "gouda"

[@_fisheater1027]

Never realized Serral DOES sound like a text-to-speech bot til Lowko pointed it out LOL

[@henriquetorresdecamargo710]

I love watching this game, but playing it, oh boy do I get tilted at how bad I am at it🤣

[@TheArtanis7]

Very true, fun to watch for years, but when try to play its overwhelming and not so fun. If we could have just part of Uthermal happiness while playing.

[@francescob.3019]

upon learning that many people like to watch this game but are too daunted to play it against humans, blizzard should have addressed this somehow when they still worked on the game. i think that’s what made this game to be slowly dying

[@kawakubo8660]

as someone who is in that category and watching since wol, i dont think they did anything wrong. a live service game lasting this long is incredible, especially an RTS. game isn't dead until the pro scene dies, and it's normal for new generations of gamers to play newer games. I played a lot of dota2 and i notice people say the same thing for a lot of these games, it's just that the games are old and so are we.

[@zyrus4712]

i dont play sc2 laddergames, i never really did and i probably never will. i mostly play sc2 arcade maps.

Sometimes when I watch this game I think to myself. I could do that, I should try playing SC2 again, then I try playing again and realize that I in fact cannot play this game with my 30 minutes to an hour of spare time i get a day. 😂😂

[@markfrank3307]

After 3 mins, my brain shuts down playing starcraft.

[@Aldaris777]

Maxpax is human, Good to Know 😂😂😂

[@OnigoroshiZero]

MaxPax makes even Clem look like an average pro in the last few months, no Korean Terran has any chance against him at this point. The best they can do is pray to any God they believe in to have him make mistakes in order to be able to take a single map from him. And he also makes every other Protoss look underwhelming at best (like the one from the second series). There is no debate about the best Protoss player on the planet.

I would call playing SC2 stressful vs boring. I still play team PVP, 1v1 is just not good for my blood pressure and I’m getting older and have kids 😅

[@ahorriblebeast1265]

If your sweating your losing 😅😅

[@archrexem7274]

Watching SC2 is like watching football, i rather watch it than play it :D Edit: but i play Coop every day for the last 5 years

Hit thumbs up when I realized it was a double.

[@natecw4164]

Energy Recharge would completely change the first few minutes of game 2. I stopped playing Toss because I was so tired of having 2 options that don't involve playing blind. Early hallucinated phoenix is an absolute gamechanger! I may go back to random after this patch, every single race is pretty fun imo, and that's coming from a beta player. I get that this is the biggest early game shakeup since the mothership core went away, but this is 100% absolutely a buff. Players will adjust.
