Game1
Maru-
From the very start its a zerg map
Solar-
It is a zerg map... but i see myself losing
Maru-
Just looking at the mini map makes me throw up
Solar-
Just looking at 조성주(maru) makes me throw up
Maru-
Cough*
Lets go~
Solar-
Is it a 2 barrack push?
Maru-
Something different
Solar-
Ok
Solar-
No double tank
Maru-
1st save up
Solar-
Only ryung can do a double tank
Maru-
I almost fell victim to chatting rush
(A zergling was about to sneak into his base)
Solar-
Hah... you must be joking
Solar-
?? (Upon seeing flying barrack)
Maru-
Ahahaha
Solar-
What you doing?
Maru-
Mistake;'
Solar?
Maru-
(Upon revealing his cyclones)
This is also a mistake
Maru-
????
Solar-
The balance is right.
(Could be talking about the patch or could be talking about him killing a even amount of cyclones)
Maru-
I think they(you?) Need to give more
Maru-
Gg
not all heroes wear capes :) ty
Thanks
Ty
I was like "I bet someone in the comments has translated" as I was watching ~7 min into the first match, I scrolled, and BAM right at the top, first comment. You're a legend homey!!
Game 2
Solar-
2 barrack reaper rush prohibited
I got a feeling (that maru might do it)
Maru-
I dont plan to do it
O%
Solar-
I think i lost
Maru-
The terran
(Maru didnt do as much damage as he hoped, maru behind 2 bases)
Solar-
Terran is imbalanced(op)
Maru-
Nope
Gg
Game3
Solar-
Rmawl( 금지)
No/stop (seeing the weird scouting barracks)
Maru-

Solar-
Zerglings are coming. Go run

Kiitos

Mandatory: Lowko talks about how to destroy the tower for the gold minerals.
Mans really hoping that gold base Will be something both players want to actively contest. And I think that was the intention of the map in a way but 2 extra minerals and time and setup to get started is just not worth it unless you already have a large lead at such point the other player would GG anyway and that base never gets too see it's purpose
Also reminding us about the win condition of the game of StarCraft II
"Zerglings really are an Archon that could've been a Drone." - Lowko 2023
I learned yesterday while playing mech TvZ that the armory is also necessary for hellbats to turn back into hellions, so if you build hellbats then lose the armory they're stuck..
Don't think about it too hard I guess
I’ve thought that maybe when a helion transforms, it exposes the pilot in some way that makes it easier for the medivac to target it.
I think a cool map should have golden minerals and gas for the main base only. Every expansion base should then just be regular mineral and gas. It would be cool to see how players adapt their timings and build orders due to extra income
Any map that's outside the norm would be cool to try. And that's why they aren't created.
57:20 not unheard of, unfortunately. Soulkey reverse swept innovation in gsl grand finals in like 2013. I didn’t cry but I will never forget.
This would be nice with a link. I think I'll probably find it though, so thanks for the tip.
happy new year lowko
@lowkoTV, I think the concept is based on when a hellion is in vehicle mode the driver/pilots is fully encased and sealed inside the unit thus it’s fully mechanical with no exposure of the biological driver.
But when the Hellion is transformed into a hellbat the human is now wearing the vehicle like a partially armored suit kind of like in the Matrix Revolution thus able to be healed by the medivac’s
but then arent marines and maraudeers just dudes in armoured suits making them mechanical? isnt a thor just a guy in a really really big mech suit? i think the hellbat being biological and mech at the same time is cool and an interesting feature gameplay wise but it really doesnt make sense
I remember a quote about competitions being a playground for those who seek improvement
Game 1 felt like a playground experiment from maru
my head-canon for hellbats becoming partly biological is essentially mifune in "matrix revolutions" getting mauled by sentinels.
also, korean translation for lowko:
solar: '?'
maru: 'lol. I just realized'
maru: 'the past tense of "to cast" is just "cast"'
Another Amazing year for Lowko and the Starcraft franchise, I hope. Here we go!
This one didn't age quite so well
"It's a Zerling Lester, smaller type o' Zerg"
Never gets old Lowko
“Smaller typuh-the-zerg” made my day with the mixed accents 👌 good streams lowko
Love that Lowko can foresee the plays as the game progresses. That is trully game knowledge
26:35 that landing command center changed its mind
Zzz is basically ㅋㅋㅋ which is the korean way of saying lol on the keyboard when you switch from korean to english the letter that replaces ㅋ is z. Therefore alot of times when typing fast these are used interchangeably.
@LowkoTV To build on the, the reason why ㅋㅋㅋ is used for laughing is because the ㅋ is a "k" sound, so repeated it sounds like kekeke. You also may also see ㅎㅎㅎ and that is because ㅎ is a "h" sound, so repeated is like hehehe.
Thanks for this. 😊
09:00 I think the koreans go for 6 zerlings because in Asia, "the pronunciation of the number 4 sounds similar to the word '死' which means death in Chinese characters. In China and Japan, the number 4 is also associated with misfortune or death." From the Wikipedia about korean superstition. So that is why I think. So interesting a believe like this could change something as far of tradition as SC2 xD
Happy New year to you, your lady, and your two feline friends!
Looking forwards to Stormgate news this year.
Usually koreans have been going 6 zerglings instead of 4, because of ByuN and Maru and their GD reapers.
31:40, thos "benches" might actually be sunshades or gazeebo's for normal height people to stand under.:)
A good idea. 👍
Love the role stories being told about the reaper and Brenda hahaha
The carpets are not rolled out all the way and that offset is where its folded or rolled back into itself.
Happy new year guys! Love you all❤
Happy New Year Lowko! thanks for this treat the 1st day of 2023
Happy new year
Hey lowko been watching your videos for years and enjoy them all. this year I will upgrade my old computer from 10 years or more what would you suggest I mainly play starcraft2 my old computer had GTX 750TI . Not looking for anything fancy
RTX 2060, ryzen 5 latest gen, would do trick flawlessly, anything up from there would only really be benificial for high fps games or very high resolution monitors
hellbats get healed by medivacs because a portion of the damage they take is due to their body being exposed; so technically they gain more armor by adding their bio
happy new year Lowko ! I only played the first starcfrat back in 200X and started watching youre videos cause of nostalgia after cleaning my old games (starcraft in those)
Can we see a game with the lowest graphical settings? I think that would be cool, to see how the pros see their matches
What a Series!
Great coaching, Lowko. To those who wants to improve their SC2 gameplay, apply for Lowko's patreon and coaching.
Finally we see some games on 'Altitude'. I love this map.
I think it's one of the most beautiful map in SC2. And I kinda like the connection with the Blizzard too. ❄️❄️❄️
I played SC2 when it first came out on the lowest graphic settings for performance and for the sake of my craptop not exploding... a few years ago shortly after the 10th anniversary of sc2 I loaded it up again and my newer pc defaulted to the top settings. I couldn't get over how much unnecessary flair there really is and for a little while I couldn't figure out why the game looked, uhmmm..., wrong. Lol. Then I saw the high settings and dropped them to lowest, not that I needed to for performance or anything, and blam the game looked right again! xD.
It's Xel Nagas pallace Lowko, have you seen a Hybrid Reaver? They'd sit comfortable on them benches.
thanks, happy new year
Reverse sweep in a bo7. Maru did it in 2021 GSL Season 1, in the semifinals, against Trap.
4 o clock upload on a sunday? definitely an amazing start into the year
A logical way the whole hellbat repair/heal thing could work is that they have the pilots body more exposed than in hellion like marines do, but still enough machinery that it gets damaged and needs repairs.
35:00 its also easier to spot invisible units with the lowest graphics - could you show a few minutes with lowest graphics?
Lowko: "I was never a fan of Dark."
You heard him say it!
happy new years, nice vids man!
@LowkoTV I don't think that these are Benches. Looks like you can go up to the Fountain and the things you described as Benches are like Sun- or Rainshades. If you think about a Marine out of his suit, he should have the perfect Size to stand at the edge of the Fountain at that the water having a nice time seeing the Helios explode next to the Sunshades xD (I also know that theory contradicts a bit with the benches or Sunshades on the other side with this huge as umbrella where like 5 marines in full armor could stand underneath haha)
If two zergling brothers are just an archon that could have been a drone, then each hellion is literally two SCVs taking the day off.
😂
The translator must have had a big new years
33.37 Why did Solar make drones?!
Altitude is such a beautiful map
Happy new year!
Lowko we actually saw helbats being healed by medibacks and scvs in a recent game of speed running sc2 by Uthermal
Thanks and a happy new year Lowko, what a game to start the year with. I think it's only reasonable to call it the game of the year, so far. So never be afraid to call any game the game of the year, because the next one can be better, but for now we like this the best. Good cast. 😊
Happy New Year Lowko! Hope this year is great for you!
Looking forward to your Korea Pilgrimage!
So what do you think? How long before Lowko declares "Game Of The Year" for the first time in 2023?
I almost wished it was this game 😂
Reaper shooting a queen is like Shaq taking on an elephant.
it's definitely exciting to see you at GSL to be honest and I'm not even Korean
Happy new year Lowko!
Happy new year all of u guys :) !!
I don't play starcraft 2 and just stated watching replays a little while ago. But dang do Ghosts seem powerful against both Zerg and Protoss.
2023 brings irradiated Solar 2.0
Been wanting to watch this one since I saw the thumbnail a few days ago LOL
Happy New Year!!
Those are benches, you walk under the overhang. I agree about the rugs though
1:06:20, indeed, the soup does not lie
Happy new year Mr Lowko sir
New year, new video
Clem vs Reynor on the finals. 3-0 to 4-3 for an incredible reverse sweep victory
is it me or did the ghost dying sound effect change? 49:10
what about viper harrasment?? Like parasitic bomb on SCVs/probes?
I like how at the end of game 6 solar started the bane speed and then surrender XD
Woops moment
"these days, [the game's graphics are] not really a problem anymore" Well it's a free game. There is probably a lot of people playing it on a potato PC. I do.
hey @lowkotv it's been a while since you did some viewer game ! happy new year !
Happy New Year.🥳
If there's one race that cannot talk about losing all your economy and still coming ahead, is Terran.
We have seen games where they lose literally 75% of their workers, and are still AHEAD economically thanks to mules.
Zerg: I lost a bunch of drones so I need to remake them quick, hope that during the battle I kept up my injects because they are still going to take the regular time. Also those larva could've been army.
Protoss: Only way I can rebuild my economy is one worker per Nexus at a time, even with chrono boost it's going to take a while.
Terran: why are my orbitals full energy? EEEEEEEE ok income is higher than before I lost workers, I can remax.
End of Maru era
i hope this year goes better for me too...
i lost my grandfather just before christmas last year and its been really really hard..
still can't hit partner on twitch and i'm just starting youtube but it seems i'm not good at anything i do
take care lowko
hellions are drones and hellbats have a human operator so they are mech and bio
Make Korean translation your new years goal. It would greatly boost your channel and make you seem more professional. I bet you could just email someone and give them $5 or something
Hiring someone for transcription and translation is way more than $5. Transcription can be $1.50 to $5 per minute of audio and translation on that scale can't be done by Google translate without hiccoughs. While it's something that money can be allocated towards and I support Korean subtitles. $5 is a gross underestimation unless you're taking advantage of people desperate for work.
@@tinyturtle75 dude, he's just talking about the written chit chat from the players, audio is expensive yeah but not translating 30 sentences written
@@alexandredutry3101 right
Yeah, but he can just post it and then pin the comment, free translation and extra interaction for the algorithm :)
I’ll translate
Proper coaching gets the job done!
New year new videos
I'm guessing Hell bats can get healed while Hellions can't is because of "skin" exposure. In Hellion form they are covered in metal and so the nanites or whatever can't heal them, but in Bat form some of their skin gets exposed allowing the healing to reach them.
And healing the drivers repairs the mech suit as well? Nice try, though.
@@alterego3734 same goes for the terran soldier
@@alterego3734 It does heal the metal suits of all the other infantry units.
@@anialator1000000 @Alexander I didn't say the other cases make more sense.
@@alterego3734 Then why did you ignore it to begin with? If the Medivac makes no sense in any situation then why did you care enough to reply in the first place?
i thought enhanced shockwave has been removed with the patch.
Hellbat can be healed and repared since helion becomes PENITANCE ENGINE!
That gold base needs a purple gas and it would be worth it
Lowko… if you get google translate for your phone and get Korean to English you can hold your phone up to your screen and it will show a close translation.
dont worry lowko those damn carpets make me hate this map too
I'm honestly surprised you have never been invited to a SoKor Starcraft event to even guest cast.
I don't know a lot about SC. Do people gamble on these matches?
Just seems like weird, kinda unnatural, match outcomes.
Oh thank god i thought last video was lowko’s last 😢😮💨
The things at the end of the rugs are tassets, like on the magic carpet from Aladdin, and in real life, you could straighten them out if you wanted to.
Ghosts have always taken a knee to launch their ult.
Yes, I also always noticed that the ghost took the knee.
It also means hellbats can have babies too.
Don't think about that too much...
less distance on the tumours prolly means you lose less creep per tumour destroyed... maybe thats the strat?
Maru is very confident player. He purposely gave his teammate 3 easy wins. Maru wanted to challenge himself to win 4 games in a row
prove it
Or maybe Solar was better this time. 😊
How much copium do you have to consume for a take like this?
@@ldn_rumrunner he doesn't need chump change.
36:08 I mean I'd argue TF2 still looks pretty good, albeit it's had some graphical enhancements over the years since 2007.
when u khow the "its a zergling lester"ref :P im getting old :(
Solar and SoO always give a lot of problem to Maru. He seems to have more trouble with them than with Serral.
I am not fixing the carpets on Royal Blood. Cursed is good xD
the gold coins are the size of a marine!
Smaller type of Zerg!!! 😆
Am always left wondering why missile turrets are so under utilized by pros. Granted they are way better and prefer mobile defense but still I think they could be helpful at times in this series.
Still watching, but if Maru came back from a 0-3 with his last winning game being a nuke on the brood lords, then that would had been amazing. Really though, Solar has been looking great lately. Must be from those PJs.
