Reynor plays toss like a zerg. Out-expands his enemy at every turn and takes engagements from multiple angles at once. He also seems to be underestimated. A potent combination
Lowko, thanks for posting so frequently. You are part of my nightly routine winding down. I work 2 jobs and I use your videos to relax and get ready for bed. I’m grateful for you this past year!
17:22 I've always held that Protoss has a higher ceiling than what the current pro's are capable of and I think this is one example of how Zerg forces players to stretch more mentally because no Zerg player would think attacking this position from less than two directions would be successful, but there are definitely Protoss players that would attempt to death ball it.
I think a big part of that is because of the mindset of a protoss unit is generally superior to a zerg unit 1v1. So protoss players often get in the habit of just plowing through while zerg players have to play the under dog and use asymmetrical warfare (hit and run) or surrounds to win battles. So when you combine that mindset with an individually superior unit you get a slaughter.
I just stumbled on your channel a few days ago... But I'm pretty sure I've been listening to you cast starcraft for years and years... I missed HuskySCs videos, and you've now taken his mantle for me. Thanks for being amazing.
I love it. It's time Protoss players be serious and tried to win the grand titles more. I understand as a former sc2 Protoss player that Protoss somehows just entrances us into doing dumbshit stuff cos it's so shiny but some of us have to take the responsible. Go Reynor embrace Aiur!
10:15 Lowko reminds me of the movie Clue when they're trying to figure out how many shots the revolver has spent. Wadsworth: The game's up, Scarlet. There are no more bullets left in that gun. Miss Scarlet: Oh, come on, you don't think I'm gonna fall for that old trick? Wadsworth: It's not a trick. There was one shot at Mr. Boddy in the Study; two for the chandelier; two at the Lounge door and one for the singing telegram. Miss Scarlet: That's not six. Wadsworth: One plus two plus two plus one. Miss Scarlet: Uh-uh, there was only one shot that got the chandelier. That's one plus two plus *one* plus one. Wadsworth: Even if you were right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus *two* plus one plus one. Miss Scarlet: Okay, fine. One plus two plus one... Shut up! The point is, there is one bullet left in this gun and guess who's gonna get it!
Lowko, this is quite irresponsible of you, you're going to make our murican viewers have their lunch 3 hours early! That being said, it's good that we have an up-and coming protoss player and you're giving them the spotlight!
That hidden nidus worm into another nidus worm for creep that was visible... genius and so clean... cant infuse off creep so double worm primarily for creep spread is just *chefs kiss* genius plus it provides 2 exits if the need to retreat arises...
Raynor has smashed Serral and Dark, two of the best zergs in the world, using Protos. Man, this guy needs to open a school so Protos players can learn to use their own race, as hilarious as it may sound lol.
It's crazy to see how zerg like a toss can be! 7 bases 90 workers, playing the heavy trades and going 360 surronds to win difficult trades... I guess there was a particular situation here but if we see more of this... I can feel the meta shaking and shifting
Reynor relying on outexpanding opponent, a heavy economy and attacking from multiple fronts makes for a protoss acting like a Zerg and it's really cool.
👏Good on Dark for playing out the match for the viewers. I don't buy it that he didn't know the failed Nydus all-in put the writing on the wall, he knew at least some of the worker/supply/upgrade comparisons and they were all bad news for him lol.
It felt like Dark is disrepescting Reynor so much ! Edit : I was writing this at 18:20 and you just said at 18:40 "Dark is disrespecting reynor" ! It really felt like so ! Reynor was so much ahead for the whole game.
If Dark added a few more spines and queens and kept leapfrogging them into the walloff I think he wins that. Or if not win, I mean, he gets the entire wall, many of the stalkers, and all for a few hundred more minerals. The toss is then further contained and lacking gas, for a hydra lurker transition, and reynor would still be on stalker immortal. Just because something is "cheese" doesn't mean it's not the best position to be in, why would you not add more spines and queens?
If the probe is harvesting the minerals, the drone will try to move to another mineral, unless ordered to stay on that same one. If the probe keeps touching the minerals, Dark has to keep ordering his drones to stay still, otherwise they'll walk to another patch, causing another drone to move, and then another, etc. This throws off the rhythm, slightly slowing down their gathering speed. It doesn't make much difference but it can be annoying!
Lowko is it true that Rogue is gone to military? :'( he was surely going to win the g5l if not T_T Will you consider doing a video about him if he is retiring?
imagine you are considered to be the #1-4 zerg player in the world for years and years, former world champion of sc2... and then some Italian kid comes and beats you with his freaking off-race... xD
10 years of PvZ..- "toss have to have much better units bcs zerg has much better eco" Raynor: did you tried to build some probes and expand? I think for a while Raynor is (more like can be if he train like rest of pros) best player. But its kinda sad zerg player has to swtich race to show toss is little bit op :D
Reynor plays toss like a zerg. Out-expands his enemy at every turn and takes engagements from multiple angles at once. He also seems to be underestimated. A potent combination
17:04 Lowko: This is an incredibly hard position to break.
Reynor: Hold my beer!
I thought Dark can at least kill a base or two, but Reynor is insanely good
@@Jabawalk
q
Incredible macro!!!
2:39 - "so he is getting some insane practicing right now"
South Korea is the StarCraft equivalent of the Hyperbolic Time Change from Dragon Ball.
First playing Protoss against Solar, now against Dark. Reynor is crazy!
Edit: HOLY CRAP THAT SURROUND WAS BEAUTIFUL

14:21 missed opportunity to say "i guess the archon is turning... dark" 😁
It's a pity that Reynor won't be allowed to swap races during GSL.
agreed, such a dumb rule.
As I am unaware of the rules: maybe he will go random in the future :D
Is that even an official rule? I was under the impression that other players in the tournament didn’t want him race swapping.
I thought you could not swap during a serie but you could during the event
GSL is a bunch of cowards
Seeing him play Protoss like this makes me happy.
Can't wait to get back into the game cause of the crazy stuff you can pull off
I just stumbled on your channel a few days ago... But I'm pretty sure I've been listening to you cast starcraft for years and years... I missed HuskySCs videos, and you've now taken his mantle for me.

Reynor playing protoss and being good at it is one of my favourite plot twists these last few years

If Reynor makes the jump from Race Switcher to Random, he will also become my favorite player.
"One of the greatests Zerg players" *Shows protos base*
It had me dead confused until you said Raynor.
did you not see the thumbnail or title?
These days it’s actually a dead giveaway - that mean Raynor is playing.
Other Protoss: For Aiur !!!
Reynor Protoss: For the Swarm !!!
Reynor is the man we need to keep Starcraft alive.
The mysterious dissapearance of the observer is answered at 11:33 where it dies as collateral to a fungal :)
Was gonna comment this, but I did expect that some attentive viewer caught it already... And voilà! Nice find. :)
very entertaining game, thanks Lowko and whoever sent him the replay
Lowko, this is quite irresponsible of you, you're going to make our murican viewers have their lunch 3 hours early! That being said, it's good that we have an up-and coming protoss player and you're giving them the spotlight!
Posting a little early today indeed!
Usually watch these before sleeping, but was also welcome for dinner^^
Keep up the great casting👌
The east coast also exists, you know.
@@DavidGuild nah america is one country 😆
@@Gokkee América is a continent. USA is a country.
Lets keep things straight
Reynor - plays zerg, I sleep.
Reynor - plays Protoss, REAL SHIT.

Thanks for the 15 second outro lowko. Its nice when the match ends surprisingly before other windows pop up telling us the video is about to be over.
Raynor has smashed Serral and Dark, two of the best zergs in the world, using Protos. Man, this guy needs to open a school so Protos players can learn to use their own race, as hilarious as it may sound lol.
Reynor is actually just built different.
Lesson #1 How to win with protoss: Play like zerg
It's crazy to see how zerg like a toss can be!
7 bases 90 workers, playing the heavy trades and going 360 surronds to win difficult trades...
I guess there was a particular situation here but if we see more of this...
I can feel the meta shaking and shifting
i love the smol carrier hitsquad the most, shows true power of carriers
When protoss zergs and zerg canon rushes...
Oh my favorite daily activity, watching lowko's video while eating my dinner. You're my MSG lowko thanks for the quality content!
in some weeks i see him play agains serral in my dreams, would be a nice game to see
The observer that disappeared was fungaled twice
Reynor’s going to watch this video and be so happy with all the praise Lowko is throwing at him 🤣
My favorite Protoss vs my favorite Zerg... Christmas has come very early this year
17:18 this has to be one of the craziest engagements I have ever seen
The truth is finally out there, Reynor is actually Xel'Naga!
He mixes Zerg and Protoss to deadly effect 🤣
I was singing in my head before the video started ”hello everyone my name is lowko..” and now im disappointed video didnt start with that shit 😂
Wow, Raynor against Dark with Protos? 😮 That's insane
For Aiur!!!!
nearly expected cloaked spines, being "Dark SpineCrawlers" afterall 🙃
Nice to know that even Reynor participates in the study abroad program at Korea.
When an industrialist technophile meets a dark-fantasy villain.
Watched this game already, was really puzzled with spine attack. From the beginning it felt like meh not gonna work unless nydus also hits pocket base
Nice to see a textbook takedown of Zerg cheese. Very exciting game from the start!
Reynor is like:
There's nothing you can do dark that I'm not aware of. He wasn't even micro ing his carriers.
Reynors toss is scary!
This map is super duper clean with your newest introduction style
Ayyy Lowko casted a Raynor game where Raynor WON!
Reynor playing Protoss like a Zerg.
Great match to watch. Both are awesome players.
Reynor play faking WELL !
Ooooooooaaaaaaaa, good blink. Had to repeat that part several times :D
these two players are insane. Haven't watched it yet, but man this will be good.
Fun fact: stargazers and moondance are both Nightwish songs
Reynor relying on outexpanding opponent, a heavy economy and attacking from multiple fronts makes for a protoss acting like a Zerg and it's really cool.
Enjoying the protoss out for blood vibes!
Tal'daream would be proud.
This video comes out so early, I'm watching it before I had my morning coffee.
I was a Serral fan boy, I'm becoming a Reynor fan boy with him now using protoss and zerg
Where would I be without daily SC2 lowko commentaries
God Reynor and his protoss if getting some love. I like it.
I love reynor even more now, god damn!
Lowko pulling a fast one on us making the video live like 1.5 hours before normal.
👏Good on Dark for playing out the match for the viewers. I don't buy it that he didn't know the failed Nydus all-in put the writing on the wall, he knew at least some of the worker/supply/upgrade comparisons and they were all bad news for him lol.
Reynor is looking so scary now, only the ping was keeping him tame now he's out for blood
It felt like Dark is disrepescting Reynor so much !
Edit : I was writing this at 18:20 and you just said at 18:40 "Dark is disrespecting reynor" !
It really felt like so ! Reynor was so much ahead for the whole game.
Observer was killed by fungal, and you saw it...
I love how Reynor is anything but terran
I think dark is notorious for winning his opponents with "noob check" strategies just to humiliate them.
Fungal Growth DoT killed that first observer
Cant wait till Reynor masters protoss and moves on to Terran
If Dark added a few more spines and queens and kept leapfrogging them into the walloff I think he wins that. Or if not win, I mean, he gets the entire wall, many of the stalkers, and all for a few hundred more minerals.
The toss is then further contained and lacking gas, for a hydra lurker transition, and reynor would still be on stalker immortal.
Just because something is "cheese" doesn't mean it's not the best position to be in, why would you not add more spines and queens?
If dark keeps practicing he might be able to hang with Europeans some day. He just isn't there yet
I had no idea Reynor was so dominant
I can't believe Reynor is my favorite protoss player.
the obscenity is that reynor is basically unknown in italy
Raynor is à hybrid god!
I would have lost to that spine rush 70 times out of 69.
Great game!
Awesome match!
Dark is the most disrespectful player in SC2 history.
Oke baby bro. I guess i'll have to wake up than lol.
got my fanboy bingo spot with this video.
Why does the scouting probe, when in darks base, switch from mineral line to mineral line at around 1:19, whats the explanation for that? Sorry im new
If the probe is harvesting the minerals, the drone will try to move to another mineral, unless ordered to stay on that same one. If the probe keeps touching the minerals, Dark has to keep ordering his drones to stay still, otherwise they'll walk to another patch, causing another drone to move, and then another, etc. This throws off the rhythm, slightly slowing down their gathering speed. It doesn't make much difference but it can be annoying!
I wish lowko commentated on the full series
Lowko is it true that Rogue is gone to military? :'( he was surely going to win the g5l if not T_T
Will you consider doing a video about him if he is retiring?
Reynor is my favorite Protoss player.
Reynor is my favorite protoss.
Balance whiners in shambles after seeing true talent triumphing in any race!
Reynor could probably beat me without a keyboard :(
To be fair, I think both of them could.
I miss the bly casts. He was so fun to watch
Ok but who would win in a hot dog eating tournament tho
your name would suggest that you'd ask about burgers, not hotdogs.

Wtf reynor on protoss??? Where have I been
Love it!
reynor is so cool man- can he go grandmaster in 3 races?
LET ME SLEEEEEEEP !!
but again thx for a early one
i just returned to see sc2 wtf happened to raynor
So are Protoss players happy that their race won, or upset that they can no longer say Zerg is overpowered?
That was a nice game though.
Lowko, are you ignoring FLORENCIO, and if yes - why do you do so?
lowko is teh kind of guy that play the sissy bleed build in elden ring
Oh no, a protoss playing the economical zerg game
Hey Lowko what's with the RUclips reaction face in all the thumbnails this week. Did you lose a bet or something?
뭐야 레이너 완전 토스 된거야?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
