*seconds before the final encounter that conclude the game
Lowko: OMG LOOK AT THAT HUGE SQUARE!!!
I love you dude
nice to see someone FINALLY uses the overlord to puke goo & make a queen place tumors "out there" its such an underused(& nearly never seen) mechanix, that seems sooooo strong!
Spoiler shield: Protoss loses
Oh man, here I was hoping the elves would take the win this time around. Props to Dark for playing so well still.
Is everything okay at home? Do your parents pay attention to you? or you need attention from strangers on the internet and that's why you type "spoiler shield"
@@TheShadowshamanXD forgot to check who plays right?😂😂
@@TheShadowshamanXDwhat's with the hate man ?
I came here to say thanks a lot you ruined it but..... 😅
The day the Raven becomes standard roaming detection will be when it gets an observation mode, making it all army proof like Observers and Overseers
Observers and overseers are not army proof though. They die very easily.
Also, the raven can actually fight back with turrets unlike the overseer and observer.
"all army proof" is referring to being able to put obs/ovies into the sieged observation mode so hitting the all army hotkey doesn't make you accidentally send them into the front line to die.
also the Ravens are much much much more expensive than Observers and Overlords
I love how much respect these two show each other in their gameplay.
I've got my mac & cheese and ready to watch this epic series!
56:23
Lowko *while looking at a Raven* : The man who has seemingly endless scans, decides to go for a mule?!
Me: hahahaha! Never change, SC2 Expert!
love the blooper at the end
Serral is so fun to watch. He's a machine.
lets go me and my dad are so ready to watch
I'm just waiting for mine to get back from the store with the milk, it's been a few days... I am sure he will come home soon so we can watch Lowko.
@@IcariumGamingumm bud… nvm.
42:37 "The Terran's late game unit nullifies essentially any late game unit Zerg can produce"
Such great state of the game. No notes. Great work balance team 🙄
Hello everyone my name is Lowko ✘
HELLO EVERYONE my name is LOWKO ✓
I appreciate the intro. Finally! A more elegant, distinct LowkoTV!
I been doing middle mouse scroll since 98. Also in 2002 was the #6 ranked in US, yep im old ;)
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Appreciate the excellent content as always. ❤
it always cracks me up how excited lowko gets over FUNGAAAAAAAAAL!
God ghosts are such a bullshit unit
i disagree, i think an energy based one button nuke ability (snipe, not nuke) that one shots and outranges every hyper end game unit is balanced due to the fact that you dont have infinite energy. so yes your broodlord may cost 300m 250g 4 supply, or ultralisk 275m 200g 6 supply, but hear me out. if you hypothetically have infinite money, infinite larva, and if shields are not half of your entire armys HP, then in theory, energy is blatantly inferior. Ergo ghost is balanced and broodlord and shields are imba. plus you made a terran painstakingly get a tier 3 unit instead of sitting on tier 1 marines and tier 1 mines for 25 min, they deserve to win.
Brought to you by the "Infestor Is Not" league
@@kurt7937both Protoss and Zerg don’t have skills can instantly take out half of unit’s hp and nothing to knock out energy. Ghosts are indeed very powerful units.
@@ThedreaminthemystHT feedback.
@@xiriusthesoulwatcher3955they've been nerfed multiple times in every single aspect. What else do you want?
Great cast!
More than an hour best of five Serral vs Maru? Colour me surprised, didn't think Maru could hold that long against soldier boy.
great games! great series!
43:30 Lowko perhaps Maru wants to be Mr. T? 😂
best special sound effects EVER!
Reynor was the only person to beat Clem twice at EWC. Maybe that’s one of the best series considering it wasn’t a clear sweep? Would probably be a good watch IMO.
39:50 "Never Say Die" lmao
I were looking for a while at that big red square till you looked at it wondering what it was
HI LOWKO!!! WOOO I LOVE LOWKO VIDEOS!!! YESSS!!!!!
bro ... I already read this one time ... but "Serral plays Zerg according to the lore" and it shows on the first game , hive mentality , amazing , such a talent from these machines
6:33 Oh yeah, Protoss managed to sneak a Nexus in the main base of the Terran XD
The reason Clem is stil behind is because he still needs to work on the timing he siege mode his tanks xD
I appreciate the extra information, my only interaction with SC2 is through your (excellent) videos
The only unit missed from SC2 is the zergling launcher ( fast distance closing no elevation hopping ).
literally thought you said "bed sheets" when you said banshee. New unit lol
So i have a quick question. Would having 1 cyclone in that small harrasing group not provide some early anti-air for the mech/reaper group? I mean bio has antieverything but the small mech group could also be cool as well. Am i incorrect?
22:00, Terran players please close your eyes!!
there are two kinds of math: one is arithmetic, so dealing with numbers, you know, adding them, dividing and this whole arithmetic shabang to calculate something, and true math: with letters and strange symbols with no true purpose.
I still think Protoss needs an equivalent of Medivac (mobile shield battery) or Infestor (1 good shot to swarm high value targets).
56:41 what a clown car moment
1:07:20 how does Serral selects only the banelings so fast?
Selectinfg an army, Ctrl+left click on the unit to select all units of that type. Hotkeys
are you adjusting your upload time recently?
I'm a bit late with my recordings, I casted this today
Can’t believe that he’s late. Unsubscribed. Unrung the bell. Disliked and reported
@@LowkoTV it was right before my bed time, now it is late night and I have to watch it the next day. gonna miss the "first comment!" moment
Oh Maru won a map vs Serral. I am pretty impressed.
Starvation is the key - Banelings and Zerglings are disposable
I find it funny that you rank these two 1&2 when Clem absolutely obliterated both of them lol
Clem may have done that but in terms of win rate... Clem won 8 matches against Maru where Maru won 25 matches against clem... Clem's last fight with Maru clem lost 1:2
Yeah it doesn't make sense that he is the most inconsistent
In case you have not noticed, most pro players can take games off each other, depending on the day.
@@balanceofjudgement4282 yep that's correct... Notice that with other players too
He clearly said in game one was the ranking was based on tournament earnings. Seeing Clem is still young, he still has a lot of time to overtake them
WOW, in game 4 Serral had 10k+ minerals with 72 workers, those works should take a 15 minute break.
"It's not that he played poorly, is that he got outplayed"
IDK, there were several big blunders for Maru in that 2nd game like seeing droppalords but not doing anything about them etc. So IDK. On a pro level when you've got 1 blunder it's a mid game at most. When you have 3-4 - it's a very bad game where everything went to hell
Where were these games againat clem?
"Kijkwijzer (Dutch viewer guide): 6, violence, fear" - wat
Lowko custom sound pack when?
I remember early days Maru do multiple nuke on Serral. Since then Maru always lost. Looks like he not improving his game against Serral.
It is easy to guess who gonna win.
Are they really the number 1 and 2 right now though, Lowko? I feel like Clem beating Serral 8-0 at the EWC is enough to solidify Clem as the best TvZ player, and he was already a monster in his other matchups. I think Clem will be the next SC bonjwa
Yeah, lowko just doesn’t want to upset the Maru fan boys lol
After game 1, he mentions the rankings by career winnings, and Serral and Maru were 1&2.
@@bricelory9534 that's an absolutely terrible way to rank players though. Chinese brood war players make more money playing SC than korean players do, but the Koreans are FAR better. And if youre ranking players based on how much money they made, then you discredit amazing players that just didnt play in time to make all of the money these guys are making.
Clems weakness was always against Terran, especially Korean Terran.
He did not encounter a single Terran in this tournament, so we do not know how this would go.
But I guess he would do very well now too.
@@wedgeantilles8575 you're right about that. We'll see how it goes in the future; I hope his time spent in Korea really helps him against other terrans
These guys would beat me
Hey Lowko. Didn't Clem use Ravens against Serral and won the world championship with a clean sweep?
I heard that!
ZvT and ZvP have both lower than 46% winrate according to Aligulac and thats with Serral. Subtract him and Zerg winrates are in the absolute gutter on the current patch. No wonder Serral has to play cheese or super causious because his race has been overnerfed af
I think it’s more the maps and less the race. Overall, I believe Zerg is bakanced
@@heolx after the balance patch was live for a bit zerg winrate was bad. Take serral out of the stats and the winrate would be down the gutter. Believe what you want but stats don't lie
Are Players Scanned for NeuroLink Implantable Chips yet? Or will Tournaments be Run By NeuroLink, and Humans be Eliminated? 🤔
Wow, comments much happier here unlike in Clem vs Serral.
Yeah thankfully no balance whining folks here.
@@atifarshad7624 I think I know why.
@@crapsound Yeah I know too.
"pewpewpewpew, pewpewpewpew" - lowko 2024
I heard that... ( 1:33:15 )
Thinking you're good at strategy games because you've played them since you touched a video game and watching these videos is like graduating high school and realizing you didnt learn anything about the real world
Anyone knows you can count 0 to 1023 with both hands alone
I just need to win a modest prize pool of 100k and im set
Is it just me or does it seem like Serral is in Maru's head... Clem beat Serral easily with terran... I see Maru just make silly errors vs Serral... Low mentioned some, and here at 32:56 he loses a banchee for no reason... first he puts the lower hp closer to the zerg center, and then sees the counter coming really late... not saying one banchee would have saved him but this stuff happens all the time alone with just literally feeding his widows right into the zerg army like they not gonna shoot it? I understand he wants to get its range into the zerg army but if its DEAD it dont matter... and I have seen him seige his tanks SO late he might as well just shoot with them unseiged... I dont get why he is so sloppy vs Serral... and I dont want to hear about "Serral's greatness" when again he got killed by Clem just recently with Terran, and when Maru harasses him so inconsistently... Its like Maru plays his B game all the time vs Serral... and doesnt he see how amazing Serral is at dealing with the widows? Yet he has them all over useless doing nothing but getting killed after Serral splits and loses only one ling vs one widow, NOT a good trade... and at 1:27:38 absolutely no reason to go through those tiny doors... his army got lured into the worst place, into creep, and lost the game there after he was actually up SMH... plays so desperately and sloppy at times vs Serral even when he is winning... 1:32:25 AGAIN late seige, TWICE... tank barely got ONE shot off SMH... what a waste... lost him the game and match right there.
now the best Terran is Clem
i heard that i heard
480?
Well.... #2 vs #3 😏
Maru makes a lot of mistake i wonder what happen
Well, when you're pressured by Serral, it makes sense you make mistakes that you'd not likely make against other Zerg. That at least explains some of it.
EXPERT commentary 😅
To all of the clowns in the comments with no reading comprehension. They are rank 1 and two in terms of EARNINGS. Clem can take the title when he gets his money up.
What do you mean when you say "on the back of this"? I keep hearing announcers say that and I always find it weird. I'd like to understand. Never played, just watched hundreds of games.
Usually it's about having momentum and what a player is going to do strategically to either continue aggression or develop macro/infrastructure.
Essentially, especially in early game, the first pushes we see players make aren't meant to win the game but are meant to give you space to develop your strategy - and so the direction they take is "on the back" of those aggressive pushes.
@@bricelory9534 That is super helpful, thank you!
Spoiler Sheald.
Like it up.
There's Serral and no Clem in the title, I don't think anyone needs a spoiler shield.
I thought # 1 is Clem and #2 Serral
While that was how they finished in the world cup, these two are 1 & 2 in career winnings. Clem is #7 in career winnings, with his big win helping significantly.
Uhhh since when is Maru rank 2?
And Lowko views monetary gain as a sign of skill ceiling, now it all makes sense 😅
The new thumbnails are so hard to get used to its like dad left with the milk and now the stepdad i dont like is here
Winter casted this a week ago
Nice game
Isnt Maru rank 4? Why say hes rank 2??
Career winnings. Lowko mentions this after game 1
butts
WASD for the camera!
Watching Maru after Clem is such a huge downgrade...
Late upload :O
It's not like Serral isn't a great player, but Zergs are just not balanced. It just is
💀
so zerg cant procude late game units because ghost counter all of them... wow,
are you copying squidmar miniatures thumbnails xd
Clem > Maru. 100%
What do you mean? Clem is actual total number 1, no matter any official ranking
not really - Clem is actual World Champion 2024. Moreover when Serral played vs Maru - Clem was not champion yet... So chill :)
Actually rogue is number 1 since he is the goat
At the end of game 1, Lowko goes over career winnings, and these two are indeed 1 & 2 in that objective category
@@patrass he did 8-0 to the best player ever... he won million dollar, dont think you realise what just happened, he is 22
@@simescoun22009 yep, but he also beat Serral in the past like 12/2023 ESL. Nothing new. He played very well and he won. But he didn't play any TvT vs top Terrans during whole event. And moreoever Serral is being in military service since 04/24 - so he has less time to play.. Clem did lose to Dark few days before event so.. Looking only on ONE event is not fair :)
You can feel and hear the Bias of this loco SOB towards Serral. 😂😂
😶🌫️
Jesus, please stop demonstrating how to scroll the screen. You are giving me a migraine.
Maru is washed up
terran op as fck, not worth playing
Zerg medivacs and terran nexus eh? It isn't funny. I'm just going to stop watching at this point.
Bye Felicia.
Serral not rank 1 world anymore !! Got wreck completely
Players take matches of each other all the time. Serral is still ranked 1 and by far is the best player overall.
At the end of game 1, Lowko describes the top 7-10 career earnings, and these two are indeed top 2
@@bricelory9534 top earning doesnt mean rank 1 though.. just like a veteran might earn more then newbie but is outclass by the newbie
@@marcelbenner993 how did top 1 get 0:4 😂by a terran clem
@@juztina7346
Just like you saw. Ranked 1 often lost in the past... this is nothing new.
I mean... if you don't believe me, go on aligulac.
i like your commentary but too often your camera is on some random event and missing some parts of the action. Hella frustrating watching the main battle on the minimap and you beeing too late... plz stop and pay more attention.
Lowko just loves Serral lol After him getting stomped. He wants to keep the hype with him lol It's hilarious, after he uploaded the video where Serral got somped, he wants to show his wins.
Why not? Still ranked 1, still by far the most consistent player.. what is wrong with that hype?
Clem bullied him, yes. Doesn't mean he didn't do well. This is a match from that same tournament.
Of course Lowko is going to feature a lot of matches from the biggest tournament with the biggest players.
The 1 & 2 come from career earnings, as he describes at the end of game one.
