I love watching Dark games, by far my favourite Zerg player right now. It will be sad when he leaves for his military service. Great cast Lowko! (Plus I love that classic intro)
Man I love to watch Dark play. His playstyle is so refreshing and you can really feel he is just living his best life, having fun while holding the muta button
I love Lowko, through many a replay even up until a week ago he was absolutely convinced mutas were a useless unit unless you were in the top 3 players in the world, then comes out and says he's been playing with mutas and they're really strong. never change buddy, keep up the great casts!
This series really shows why Dark has such a crazy style. It's to provoke opponents into cheesing back, and Dark's micro in crazy positions is so good, you can see why he backs himself. Of course, he can macro and late-game too, but why waste time and energy?
Hey lowko, I was wondering if you could use the "units" info tab mainly instead of the production when the main type of unit stacks. It would really help to follow air battles and understand who is winning :) Thanks
i like the intro, but you said it is hard on your voice. have you tried recording the "Hello everyone my name is Lowko and welcome back to a professional match of Starcraft 2!" line and then playing it using the fancy audio system you have?
Can someone explain to me why protoss upgrades always start with weapon and armor not shields? I mean shield health points are lower than normal hp on most units but shields always have to be pierced through to get to the armor part which they upgrade. Is there something I'm missing?
Its a habit formed for PvT matchups to not waste resources vs Ghost emps. Another reason is that all shields start at 0 "armor" so to speak and most protoss units have at least 1 base armor, so increasing a high base armor usually negates more damage in a prolonged fight since 2 armor negates more damage than 1 shield. Shields are good to upgrade if you're going for a more hit-and-run style (basically reaper self-healing on steroids), but protoss for the most part only do 1-2 of those at the start of the game (obligatory adepts and/or oracles) so in the long run the main benefit of the shields, that being rapid non-combat regeneration, rarely ever ends up useful outside of the first early harassment skirmish. In a prolonged fight, shields kind of suck (imagine if Terran bio could only heal half their hp in-combat and couldn't heal further than that unless outside of combat), and protoss is mostly in big, prolonged fights.
@@joshuakim5240 It has nothing to do with Ghosts - in PvT its still preferable to start armor first even if Ghosts didn't exist. Yes base armor is a factor but the main reason is that most Protoss ground units have much more Health than Shields - Zeolots for example have twice as much Health, are melee & have to tank damage whereas Stalkers are ranged, have Blink & don't - so prioritizing armor upgrades will give much more army longevity, regardless of what the base armor was.
basically the only unit NEEDING this upgrade is Archon; the rest units have too much base HP compared to shield HP so pros only invest in shields if there's nothing else to spend money on
Do you need gas to build Mutas? Dark doesn’t seem to think you need gas for Mutas. Now I’m starting to doubt if you need gas for Mutas. Guys, I don’t think you need gas to mass Mutas. I thought Mutas were gas heavy but what do I know.
The word anion is pronounced ANion...not anIon. It sounds essentially like saying "an ion" as two separate words. So anion sounds like "an ion" cation sounds like "😺ion"
i'm a Dark's fan, but man i feel sorry for Classic, especially at that game 3 where he makes small mistakes everywhere and seems that his mental health isnt as good. Mannnnnnn lmao
16:17 no its bc Z literally put 100+ muta= 10.000 mineral / 10.000 gas. while P only put in like what? 500 min on each base defense. just use half of that on base defence and you don't even have to micro. meaning 5k,5k; so that 10 shieldbat, 10 photons, 3 nexus (for overcharge, recalls, EHP buffer), and 13 pylons so your defense isn't easily pylon offline that's 5k minerals, and 5000/300= archons to place within the defensive structures simcity... then you can basically just forget about zerg harass and this is only HALF of what zerg used in harass units... its not too much to ask.. built static, so many P lose games constantly bc they don't, both offensively and defensively... its soooo cheap and it strengthen your army extremely and lessons the apm need making your micro more meaningful and harder to stress
25:46 just 2 pylons 3 shieldbat and 1 photon here instead of the wasted on extra units, then wait for 1 cycle of unit,. push and now when you retreat you 100% get an extremely cost efficient fight and a good pushing point
33:01 ling counter stalker, if your opponent mass nothing but stalkers why mass anything but lings ;) honestly if he actually used just minimum tech he would do better. i am disappointed in classics play, lowskill on built and tactics vs basic stuff.
Classic toss tactics since SC I, the Golden Armada sitting on a cannon wall, toss bases are easy to defend with shieldbats, warp in's, etc. Zerg buildings are cheaper, but harder to defend, its a losing strat for zerg, while the highest probability of success lies in not letting the other guy GET to late game, P or T.
My recent schedule is doctorate research, IT work, vertical farming project, dog walks, gym, Ukraine war blogger coverage, and absolute bangers of high-level matches of Starcraft 2 cast by Lowko
protoss falling apart from zerg thats building just zerglings... time to nerf protoss i guess... but dark is crazy good with his build... lets build 60 mutalisks... lets build 200 zerglings... wow what a great strategy... but no no no dont buff voidray tooo dangerous.... dark building 30 drones in no time after yoloing is fiiiine.... balanced.... protoss unable to do anything about zerg air units balanced.... lets build archon and templar! yeah archon with arm lenght range and zero speed will surely nuke all mutalisks - glad to know they have improved regen... build in... uf.... no wonder classic struggles i would be pissed

He did it! He did the thing! He is Lowko!
YESSSSS
Hello everyone my name is Lowko and welcome to another game of starcraft 2
I love watching you cast Dark's games. His playstyle is so different from what is "standard" and the games you cast featuring him are so entertaining.
Sad times when he actually goes to his MMS.
He is so fun to watch.
This lovely intro with your buttery voice - thank you!!! and thanks for another great game of Dark vs. Classic
Two of my favourites!
upgraded muta's are underrated imo. with splash damage if you have enough of them, they can be un-stoppable. upgrades are KEY though
I love watching Dark games, by far my favourite Zerg player right now. It will be sad when he leaves for his military service. Great cast Lowko! (Plus I love that classic intro)
It's crazy how the day doesn't seem right without the intro, and I'm not even one of the veterans who would feel nostalgic
You had me at "I would aVOID that". Like was smashed.
The genuine “Oh no Classic’s falling apart…” from lowko in game 3 left me laughing for 5 minutes hahaha
Man I love to watch Dark play. His playstyle is so refreshing and you can really feel he is just living his best life, having fun while holding the muta button
"Mooom.... Dark's Cheesing again!"
Lowko's day off from streaming and he got us his classic intro in his YT Video ❤he really does care about us 😢
Was having a rough morning then I heard the intro, thank you Simon ❤🎉
its crazy how happy it makes me to hear the old school intro
Woohoo! The original vampire intro (velcome back to...)!!! ❤
I love Lowko, through many a replay even up until a week ago he was absolutely convinced mutas were a useless unit unless you were in the top 3 players in the world, then comes out and says he's been playing with mutas and they're really strong.
never change buddy, keep up the great casts!
I noticed that too. I've been playing the zerg brood war campaign. Mass mutas that I micro just win.
dark is my favorite player, zerg is my favorite race.
HE DID THE THING!
and lowko is your favorite caster, your welcome
@@牙籤-q3y yes, thank you

Watching Dark play with his food is pure bliss
Sick cast! Thanks for all of your casting Lowko!
Traditional intro! Hooray!
Good stuff. Dark is a madman. I see why you're such a fan
Thanks Lowko!!!
LOWKO WHAT ARE THE ICONS AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME NOW? TOP RIGHT OF SCREEN.
Classic intro, must be a great video by default
I love the classic intro. :)
that 1st game by dark was so nice
The intro made my day!
Hey lowko, I was wondering if you could use the "units" info tab mainly instead of the production when the main type of unit stacks. It would really help to follow air battles and understand who is winning :) Thanks
Lowko, you're fantastic
Dude no way. How long has it been since I opened a video and got drilled in the ear brain junction by Lowko? Well played my man and good cast.
Dark is just out here keeping it entertaining for himself
Going deeper into the melody and overall feel, it reminds me of Porcupine Tree
What kind of cheeze do we have today?🤔🧀 Brie? Ghouda? Swiss? Aged cheddar?
Man i missed your voice, finally coming back to this game after a longer pause
Do you know who the snarkiest Protoss unit is? Adepts, they're always throwing shade.
12:36 disappointed it wasn't "Classic following this up in a classic Classic way"
The void ray jokes are unavoidable
Nice. I have a soft spot for muta games.
I smashed like for "a-Void that". I'm a good viewer. 😊
INTRO :D
"he is doing side quests" lol :D
best welcome ever :D
THE INTROOOOOOO
Going in to a mental warfare against dark probably feels like playing chess against the joker.
i like the intro, but you said it is hard on your voice. have you tried recording the "Hello everyone my name is Lowko and welcome back to a professional match of Starcraft 2!" line and then playing it using the fancy audio system you have?
hi lowko, would love to see more of erik if possible, and some viewer submited games
I haven't seen any of his replays in recent packs I'm afraid
We need more bronze hero’s.
Lowko MVP!
I only click the like button when he says the thing 😊
what are the things in the corner at the beginning?
I’m a simple man I see dark I like and watch and rewatch and rewatch
Proper intro
Dropping the like already!
I love how Lowko knows more about SC2 than almost anybody but still calls it a "Vespian" geyser. 😆
He did the thing the thing guys😂😂😂
I love you Lokow❤

In addition to other comments, shield upgrades are considerably more expensive the ground weapon or armor upgrades
thx alot folks
basically the only unit NEEDING this upgrade is Archon; the rest units have too much base HP compared to shield HP so pros only invest in shields if there's nothing else to spend money on
Game of the year for shore
The thing. Yay
fair enough. fair enough. fair enough
I hope you get to cast, that would be epic to cast in Saudi Arabia!
7:56 good protoss, calc how much that recall would summon for you and whether or not its worth the literally 3-4 apm :P
Very nice.
I'm really not excited about Saudi Arabia increasing its softpower with SCII.
Dark is the Uthermal of Zerg.
dat intro🎉
At some point, we have to ask - Can there be too much Lowko intro??
No.
Dad jokes are strong with this one, like smashed.
Do you need gas to build Mutas? Dark doesn’t seem to think you need gas for Mutas. Now I’m starting to doubt if you need gas for Mutas. Guys, I don’t think you need gas to mass Mutas.
I thought Mutas were gas heavy but what do I know.
If you use the mutas to perma snip the gas, the opponent can effectively not counter you
Lowko you're so funny

anion sounds like "an ion"

Heeeellloooooo Lowko!

Scouts spire way before it finishes. Refuses to get archons or storm. Well...
Yes.
Hello Lowko....
When did mutas join StarCraft 2 🤔
Last week
16:17 no its bc Z literally put 100+ muta= 10.000 mineral / 10.000 gas.
while P only put in like what? 500 min on each base defense.
just use half of that on base defence and you don't even have to micro.
meaning 5k,5k; so that
10 shieldbat,
10 photons,
3 nexus (for overcharge, recalls, EHP buffer), and
13 pylons so your defense isn't easily pylon offline that's 5k minerals,
and 5000/300= archons to place within the defensive structures simcity...
then you can basically just forget about zerg harass and this is only HALF of what zerg used in harass units... its not too much to ask..
built static, so many P lose games constantly bc they don't, both offensively and defensively... its soooo cheap and it strengthen your army extremely and lessons the apm need making your micro more meaningful and harder to stress
25:46 just 2 pylons 3 shieldbat and 1 photon here instead of the wasted on extra units, then wait for 1 cycle of unit,. push and now when you retreat you 100% get an extremely cost efficient fight and a good pushing point

a great time to be proud for being a saudi arabian, and i am one :)

Ope, I liked the video already, can you guess why?
lowko loves upgrades more than he loves women
howda kas
Miss Netherlands 🤮
