This new Zerg late game army Is INSANE!

[@LDSG_A_Team]

Me: **sees thumbnail** Oh, must be a Rogue game.

[@raweon_path_of_exile1263]

doesnt overseer have the ability to shutdown production? there should be a critical mass of overseers where you can shutdown the entire production, right?

[@michaurbanski5961]

You would need 200 ovs :D And they die pretty quickly to turrets The ability costs 125 energy I think, so you need to wait a long time and then only do it once

[@natecw4164]

There is a recent ZvP (against MaxPax I believe) where Shin contaminated storm about 4 times in a row. It singlehandedly allowed his push to take out the third; there were so many HT with energy he'd have been deleted with storm available.

[@Caimanwendt]

Lolololol yessssss

[@Mglunafh]

​@@natecw4164 The irony is that HTs could prevent contamination by feedbacking the overseers

[@ro031]

I am not skilled enough to attempt that, but from what every high lvl zerg youtuber say, the amount of energy it takes to contaminate makes it so your overseer is stopped from doing whatever else. Changelings are much more usefull in a real game.

[@ExpertYouTubeCommentator]

Rogue i swear created that overseer and lurker meta but why did it not catch on? he pretty much owns zerg vs terran

[@tichondriusstormrage]

The overmind permits only one champion to wield the might of mass overseer.

[@leonardol8158]

Rogue has been playing the most enjoyable games to watch.

[@daethalion1725]

That last game was basically Among Us: Starcraft Edition

[@rumar4u]

I'm all for Rogue against any Terran - let them fear his mass changeling

[@CHIQUIZO]

44:37 gotta love Lowko man!!! Hahahaha that malicious laugh , pure evil

[@SalvaBarbus]

Regarding the naming of the different Zerg structures, doesn't the theory go that Zerg went around assimilating and evolving all kinds of different organisms across different planets? So I'd say it fits the lore that the buildings are that different, each and every organism is living in its original habitat, all different but united in the Swarm. Isn't that beautiful?

[@phirephate]

That final game was so epic. Changelings, lurkers, multiple nydus worms, expansions and creep all over the place. Attacking on multiple fronts and never allowing the Terran to breathe. Peak zerg play.

[@FreddieBM]

42:03 those are some funny looking swarm hosts. Didnt know they can fly now thank you balance council. The zerg cabal strikes again

[@ryanfahey1281]

6:15 Lowko, I had a neuralink installed so I could more directly inject Starcraft 2 Lowko vids into my consciousness.

[@mrmagic3331]

the last game was called "The Nydus Nightmare" lol

[@kevinsiscoe]

I honestly have so much fun watching Rouge play.

[@blipboigilgamesh7865]

I was recently thinking about a way to buff swarm hosts without making them too OP. My conclusion is something that justifies making them great meatshields to soak up damage or other defensive function during their cooldown. I was thinking maybe they spawn little locusts when they die, or maybe they could serve as a barricade when they burrow, so they get a little extra defense and units can't walk past them while they're burrowed, making them essentially a slightly worse version of the protoss forcefield. I think that would be an interesting ability for them, would give them some much needed versatility

[@Ltbowtie]

We on that lowko grind

[@CHIQUIZO]

6:15 that wasn't lame at all!!! that was smart and quick AF , for the ones that don't know, LOWKO sounds A LOT like LOCO , which means "crazy/insane" in Spanish =)

[@danc6167]

I could watch Rogue, Shin, and Dark play any day. I love the zerg chaos.

[@RHACOREBERS]

kind of fuked if zerg has to make 100 ovys to win a tvz please god nerf the ghost hard af

[@TheCuriosity8]

I love the late game over spam, it's just a straight attack on your opponents APM

[@kw8295]

The ol' double switcheroo, a classic

[@nabusvco]

I still believe the mass overseers could help with one more crucial spell, contaminate mayhaps 10 overseers on a suicide mission could cripple mass bio by contaminating all barracks and then just a sledgehammer approach to the outer bases 21 seconds of no production can hurt a lot even for the steep energy price

[@Wolvenwargmusic]

Interesting matches! About the only thing Rogue could've stood to clean up on in the first match was how many workers were lost to blue flame hellion drive-bys. A few spine crawlers on the outer most bases would've done a lot to prevent that.

[@deathezz]

*Mutas show up* Noone: Lowko: Ahhhhhhh....

[@ScBroodSc2]

42:02 Yeah right, the mass Swarm Host army. Typical Lowko cast ;P

[@KishorTwist]

The mass spies seriously make really good scouts!

[@Mikivericks]

Thanks for the video, Lowko. Happy Saturday ❤

[@zr6671]

Dont let lowko fool you this is literally his first sc2 cast. All the other ones we ai deep fakes.

[@KingoftheFreljord]

Lowko pre watches matches lol also Lowko "teran lost so many Marines in that engagement, oh ONLY ONE!!! WAIT I CAN COUNT GUYS I SWEAR"

[@christophermccutcheon2143]

I vote remove Swarm Hosts from online play and give Mutas an evolution available on Greater Spire upgrade, and have the evolution work like an Aircraft Carrier that spawns mini-mutas at a decent range.

[@andrewpan5014]

Game 1 hurt my mind so bad because I couldn't tell who was winning at all until the last 2 minutes

[@danteprokrustes4795]

Zerg late game in one sentence never ends well

[@wojurera3131]

Terran it up again?! Someone needs to use that kind of pun in their name as a Terran player! 😜

[@Duocek]

coffee and lowko on a chill saturday morn

[@Darksurfr]

What a sick game. Love this crazy gameplay.

[@tremerrr]

21:34 secret dancing ravager

[@hirzo6287]

Infestation Cavern, that is where the queen is made, isn't she?

[@stalwart56k]

Next Balance patch will limit the number of changelings to 10 and the number of overseers to 20.

[@zeralice3289]

When you are so sick that you cannot really move at all, Lowko is here with his amazing content and serene voice to entertain me and guide me to sleep. Truly a blessing the man! Now I just have to explain this to my boyfriend somehow…

[@3Kings_Industries]

Oooow, new Lowko for post-Thanksgiving sloth- Sat.

[@simonlind44]

I knew this was a Rogue game as soon as I saw that thumbnail LOL

[@Pleasers]

bro really started rolling credits before the game was over 😭

[@itsdripordrown7702]

4:40 Don't want to be mean or anything, but I never felt that way 😭

[@diazalex5314]

The cloud of overseer can cancel marine splits

[@Pr1v3sc]

whoever named the buildings for zerg used to be a gynecologist

[@fundamentalconvolution1749]

That's because every time a feasible turtling style comes up, Blizzard nerfs it for the sake of esports viewership.

[@Trubripes]

It might be possible to stop that mass nydus style with battlecruisers.

[@SeanLee-q2n]

man i love watching rogue wreck havage on terran matchups by simply causing chaos with those overseers and changlings and spamming nydus

[@swanky147]

I don't understand, how will we know it's you if the video doesn't open with "Hello everyone, my name is Lowko!" Or maybe you're trying to pull a fast one and have started getting your evil twin Okwol to commentate some of the vids?

[@RachelTension]

I never understood why terrans have used tanks instead of hellions/hellbats to counter brood lords/swarm hosts. Tanks are the biggest dps buff for the zerg army.

[@weavorjjohanna5619]

Because hellbat and hellion don't do well against roach, in this game rouge literally prove that theory since zergling goes well with roach or Ultralisk both can be light counter by tank duel to the tank attack range

[@RachelTension]

​@@weavorjjohanna5619 then just build both tanks and hellions. Unsiege for swarm hosts and bodyblock roaches from the tanks with hellbats.

[@weavorjjohanna5619]

@@RachelTension not worth it, because tank take 31s to build, Hellion take 21s, while, roach take 19s zergling take only 17 to get a pair ( that literally half the time terran need to build btw ) but dual to zerg hatchery mechanic that would be 9 zergling and 3 roach in 1 hatch, why does this matter ? because in order to make more hellion or tank in short amount of time you need more factory that would mean you waste more time to build factory while zerg can run you over with about 50 zergling and 15 roach, tank can kill zergling and swarmling in 2 shot, and roach in 4, so 4 tank is already enough, while hellion is very weak when goes up against armor unit, the other reason is that terran can literally block the zergling using depot and tank just sitting in the back shelling them while they waste their time munching the depot, hellion and hellbat can't do that because of the range, and this is not even counting in the amount of mining terran does another thing to note is that if the zerg know you go for mass hellion/hellbat and tank ( and rest assure they will because overlord is the best scouting unit in the game ), they will go mass hydra and Ultralisk composition since hydra can kite hellion and hellbat easily and hellion/hellbat does not do well against armor unit ( in this case Ultralisk ), and tank cannot outrun ultra because the first thing zerg do when building an ultralisk cavern is armor upgrade and speed upgrade, there is a reason why you don't see terran mech that often also body blocking the roach with hellbat/hellion is... dumb, roach hard counter hellion/hellbat because they are amored unit but deal bonus damage against armor unit so basically you let the hellbat/hellion take damage from the roach and siege tank at the same time

[@chrishakala528]

The tanks are for other units, like Ultras, Roaches, Hydralisks, Infestors, Lurkers.

[@chrishakala528]

​@@weavorjjohanna5619Hellbats are intended as a buffer to protect Tanks and Thors, and that composition works well when you know how to setup and position those units. Hellbats are not going to take friendly fire damage unless the opponent is in melee range, and even then they have the durability to take a few Tank shots and remain effective. Hellbats also have enough burst damage to punish even armored units that attempt fighting at melee You also should be target-firing with your tanks, to maximize splash, to minimize friendly fire, and to deal with higher priority targets first. As for "kiting with Hydralisks", that is only an issue if you let your Hellbats stray too far from the Tanks. Otherwise, Hellbat-Tabk punishes that hard.

[@helmutalexanderrubiowilson6835]

insane rouge is exploiting the true power of the swarm

[@Anlmal.wisdom]

Overseers in thumbnail = rogue is playing against terran player :) . This strategy should be called by his name at this point , since its his signiture strategy and no other zerg play this way .

[@christophermccutcheon2143]

I think Ryung was gonna win that first game 🤷🏻‍♂️ i dunno why he surrendered when he did. Like he couldn't see the Zerg bank or anything, but Rogue had literally only minerals which equates to Zerglings, and they didnt have Adrenal Glands. Rogue was floundering at the end there. If Ryung had decided to keep plyaing until his army was actually wiped out and pushed up the ramp instead, i think Rogue would have surrendered right there. That was basically a fakeout from Rogue as if he had the economy to keep replacing lost units and he didnt.

[@kosherun]

Now watch blizzard nerf overseers 🤣 On a side note - this video didn't cover the mass overseers so well. The best way to use them is on top of lurkers/ultras so ghosts cant snipe them lo

When are we getting viewer games on the new patch?

Its cavern because its cavernous .

[@gerbenzijlstra3804]

what about using changelings with burrowed roaches??

[@bluetoad12]

Yay Zerg games

[@christophermccutcheon2143]

I mean, Rogue here is doing about as well as anyone in pro SCII could hope for with these Swarm Hosts, and they're _just not good enough._ Getting some cyclones n stuff from units that are basically free is amazing and all. You're trading a high initial investment cost for a potentially "infinite" (limited by value of total map resources) value, but they're too slow to reload. And now the real issue with the Swarm Host becomes clear, because if you buff this reload time then the potentially infinite trading value mentioned before becomes far too feasible. They CAN'T be balanced. The way the hosts work seems cool on paper, but ultimately I think they should be removed from online competitive play and replaced so that the Zerg can have an actually useful unit in this slot. Think as well that Rogue has to do the Nydus shenanigans just to make this whole strategy viable, which is not cheap for Zerg to keep building them, and it's also not hard for the worms to be rushed down when the Swarm Hosts have like a 30-50 second cool down. He got a couple good strikes off before that whole push was made redundant. I don't even think it was worth the effort.

[@ponozkas.r.o7320]

Great. I like to see terran lost

[@roydeckard112]

Among the first ones !! Say hello lowko !!!!

[@natecw4164]

For the love of the muta gods... Widowmines? Good counter if hidden properly. Marines? Demolish them. Thors? Of course! ....Cyclones??? Ugh... This is one of the many reasons we rarely see this super fun unit 😢

[@hivetech4903]

You can't hide mines out on the map, they get one-shot by mutas before they fire. He was playing mech lol, Terran can't just randomly switch to Bio without losing the game. And he did make Thors as soon as he scouted Mutas.

[@kungfushiver]

Everything is so predictable, comes down to player control. Wish they would throw all the units from SP into the mix and change all the stats of other unit to be "realistic".

[@Moeron86]

The new patch is out and suddenly casters decide to cast games people wanted to see weeks ago before the patch after everyone has seen them already 😅. lowko, people want to see new games on the new patch! Games from the old patch are basically irrelevant. Duh😅
