I love when Lowko agrees with himself: 24:09 "I think we send the units out again." -> "Yeah." 24:48 "I need to get rid of these rocks and then start pushing." -> "Yeah."
S-E-L-L-O-U-T Honestly though, it's awesome that you're getting sponsored. Especially since it's not Raid. This message is brought to you by Raid: Shadow Legends
They were winning everything for like 2-3 years because brood pushes were too hard to stop with their range. You reduce the range of broods by like 1-2, and the hp of the banneling by 5, and all of the sudden you have zerg crying like babies all over the internet.
@@benjamindeh873 Even then they were underpowered. The game is meant to be about out thinking and out maneuvering your opponent, not just in micro but in *macro.* That means building an army comp that counters your opponents while your opponent then attempts to do the same... It's a game of counters. So even when Broodlords were OP, Zerg was still weak because if they lost their BLs to something like mass Vikings or a Psi-Storm, they had no other viable army composition options. Zerg in SC2 has always lacked in viable army compositions compared to the other two races and that is why they're underpowered.
@@Thescott16 LOL so when zerg won EVERYTHING for a couple years they were underpowered? X). Thats the kind of people who whine about zerg being underpowered for you. I guess the weakest...race....wins? Spongebob logic.
I've just taken my textbook, decided to prepare for exams, casually checked that no interesting video came up on RUclips, closed... Wait, what? Lowko released cast 3 minutes ago? Seems like the exams will not be passed.
for ZvSkytoss, since you had hydra, compliment them with either infestor or viper. abduct trades one viper for that mothership; instead of losing all ur hydra. if he's more void heavy, you want more fungal/corrosive bile and less corruptor. if its more carrier you want neural. or fungal + abduct + para-bomb to kill interceptor. or microbial shroud and stutter step the hydra towards him. if its tempest then corruptor.
Hi lowko, I was especially interested in your second game zerg vs protoss. The whole time I watched your playing, it swirled in my head that why you didn't try to use the microbial shroud ability. Especially during the attack at 17:23, and subsequently in other moments, this ability could be very useful. I think it was really worth experimenting with this ability more, from my point of view the microbial shroud is a very underestimated ability. Which is a shame because its potential is high.
How fun would it be to have maps naturally suited for different playstyles. Like a map more suited towards terran mech, has healing zones for biological units? Inviting different payoffs for strategies.
Lowko there’s some arcade games and extensions that have co-op commanders against other co-op commanders, you should try them. “COOP commander PVP” it is kind of hard to balance these games, a lot of them are very imbalanced but some of them are good
Maybe Corrupters instead of hydras? And keep ling/roach to deal with stalker/zealot? I'm not a zerg expert by any means, cuz Terran master race, lol. Well, and you're just way better than me in general. I've been playing this game since 1998 and I thinking I have a smokin 100 apm. At least you'd be proud of the fact that I know how to make an orbital command lol.
Lowko, try this to win ZvP: Get 100+ workers, lot of overseers with speed. Overwhelm him with tons of cheap units made over and over agains and once you lower his army numbers a bit send your overseers to contaminate his unit producing structures, which gives you time to deal with rest of his army or deal a big blow to his eco.
You have 100 supply in cheap army, you are facing 140 supply in skytoss, maybe more; and knowing Zerg any game doesn’t trade efficiently means your army will get plain smashed over and over, bc toss will just regen shields
I think the camo shirt made sure the enemy didn't see you casting. Also, if you are casting your own game you need to speak about yourself in the third person, this way is breaking my immersion.
Would it work for you to play a game and cast it like this at the same time and then sync it with the replay afterwords so we can see everything while we get to watch you play blindly? I know there's gonna be flaws but I wonder if it would work at all
I'm learning sc2; why didn't lowko mass produce corruptor/ viper to combat skytoss? The hydra's are made of glass and are outranged by the tempest - it just seems like a stopgap until skyzerg is finished :/
Hey Lowko, I'm not sure about who first started the trend of Queen Marches, but was AlphaStar the pioneer, or was it already a concept nobody used before until recently?
I’d say you didn’t have enough corrupters, he had no storm and no archons, so like hydra lurker corrupter, with the you doing mostly counter/ multiprong attacks with lurkers, killing static d and bases since skytoss slow as hell, and then back at home you got queens and corrupted, you could even multi-prong and vomit on there bases with corrupters, that’s my idea as a Protoss player myself
I started to not leave after my gg (reaction or statement behind my Skytoss oppinion), its cummon that the enmies are not patient enough to hunt behind all ... so I won few times thru their leaving after stressful hunts xD
Interesting how he asks himself the question if he can do something when he does it. According to my thesis that if you asks what something is you are showing that you dont love it, then playing games and being good at it must be, in essence, a practice of relieving aggression. Such male aggression has been pivotal to our sociatal development and is not used to train the coming of the AI overlords.
Please try to get Armani as sponsor and then play in a suit and tie ;) And then say "I like your void rays...it would be a shame if something happens to them"
I think Benetton is sponsoring Lowko because they secretly want him to model for them. I personally wouldn't be able to distinguish him from the other models on the website.
ALL CAPS FOR LOWKO TO NOTICE THANKS, hey lowko can you make a video on why alphastar project is gone, any updates if its okay with you, cant find any video explaining what happened to the project
Interesting format. But there is one drawback, games will always contain zerg on one side. How about trying to play a random race for these videos? It would be interesting to watch.
And im truly curious, do people who you dont know, but, they have seen you on RUclips, meet you and they call you lowko, is that weird for you? Do you get used to it, like a stranger being like hey lowko, do you double take? Just a curiosity.
What are you talking about, I completely expected the Tempests. They're even on the Thumbnail.
Me too, but then he started with ZvZ and THAT made me curious how the hell are they gonna pop out :D
Does not matter, you have been baited by the master himself.
I love when Lowko agrees with himself:
24:09 "I think we send the units out again." -> "Yeah."
24:48 "I need to get rid of these rocks and then start pushing." -> "Yeah."
This Benetton model plays really good Starcraft
Lowko finally given the well diserved sponsorships
Love these, please make more! Refreshing to see someone analyzing their own gameplay without knowing the outcome
S-E-L-L-O-U-T
Honestly though, it's awesome that you're getting sponsored. Especially since it's not Raid.

Nobody expects the Tempest Inquisition!!!
I know it takes a lot more micro, but I think a couple vipers here to slowly dwindle down that skytoss would have done the difference
Feels like a possible "is it imba or do I suck" moment
if he made 1-2 vipers he would have been fine i feel
Pretty sure he A-moved into carriers at a few points and lost a bunch of zerg fighting intercepters
Honestly Lowko this was a great video i would love to see more of this kind of videos sprinkled into your usual content, loved it man!
It started going bad when opponent got gold base whereas lowko got a normal expansion. Protoss mining more than zerg never ends well
Wow, Lowko the men's fashion internet influencer!!!! Nice shirt!
Amazing that you're getting these sponsorships, Lowko.
Cool video, too. Watching you has helped my zerg a lot.
1 minute Ago
The thumbnails are improving a lot
Can't resist them
Good job
LMAO
ZvZ and the thumbnail has Tempest! It's clearly an unexpected unit
Benetton sponsoring a StarCraft video? Damn boy I'm old
Kinda cool ngl
Zerg's so underpowered they can't even win against themselves XD
Now imagine how op would they have to be for them both to win
This is the pessimist Zerg in 2021 speaking, ZvZ, whoever wins okwoL loses.
They were winning everything for like 2-3 years because brood pushes were too hard to stop with their range. You reduce the range of broods by like 1-2, and the hp of the banneling by 5, and all of the sudden you have zerg crying like babies all over the internet.

Lasted alot longer than I would of... Lol but I saw that sky toss army coming.. it's inevitable
Need harstem to make more videos
Like Thanos
Would of?
Hydra corruptor...I can hear the faint screams of Harstem in the distance
Your second game was very exciting; happy to see more self-casts :D
Nice video. It is so noble to cast a game which u lost.
for ZvSkytoss, since you had hydra, compliment them with either infestor or viper. abduct trades one viper for that mothership; instead of losing all ur hydra.
if he's more void heavy, you want more fungal/corrosive bile and less corruptor.
if its more carrier you want neural. or fungal + abduct + para-bomb to kill interceptor. or microbial shroud and stutter step the hydra towards him.
if its tempest then corruptor.
Hey Lowko you should make a series on the reverse campaign in the arcade campaign. It looks really fun.
This was great. Really enjoyed the commentary
nice shirt, Lowko!
Lowko, please post more of these
congrats on the sponsorship!!
Hi lowko, I was especially interested in your second game zerg vs protoss. The whole time I watched your playing, it swirled in my head that why you didn't try to use the microbial shroud ability.

I think it was really worth experimenting with this ability more, from my point of view the microbial shroud is a very underestimated ability. Which is a shame because its potential is high.
when are we getting Lowko merch? I want a "Brenda and the Knitting Crew" T shirt
This, so much.
Very nice video! you did a pretty good job giving commentary :)
How fun would it be to have maps naturally suited for different playstyles. Like a map more suited towards terran mech, has healing zones for biological units?

I love you this kind of videos coming fron lowko i hope ill some more soon
That shirt looks way better than what they gave you last time. Thanks UCOB

Ahhh you’re amazing lowko
you have the shoulders of a gamer.
I have much respect for zerg player who are able to type gg it ZvP. I allways have whole other words when lost against void spam to skytoss
Undetected, Unexpected, Coils of glory, tell their story!
Lowko, try this to win ZvP: Get 100+ workers, lot of overseers with speed.

The positioning of the mic makes it look like Lowko is wearing a tie...
I think the camo shirt made sure the enemy didn't see you casting.
Also, if you are casting your own game you need to speak about yourself in the third person, this way is breaking my immersion.
I must say, that is a lot less obtrusive sponsorship than most. I am a fan of Linen shirts, though the price of them is a bit steep.
Lowko loses himself? We're bringing back LowRapgod!
Would it work for you to play a game and cast it like this at the same time and then sync it with the replay afterwords so we can see everything while we get to watch you play blindly? I know there's gonna be flaws but I wonder if it would work at all

Wow another sponser nice!
Hey lowko is infester with all the spells not a good counter pick to mass air? To slow them down and take control of the units etc.?
Wow you have sponsors, i forget about that. nice!
Hey Lowko, I'm not sure about who first started the trend of Queen Marches, but was AlphaStar the pioneer, or was it already a concept nobody used before until recently?
Love this one, honest game
Goddamn Lowko has the drip
What a throw, 1 good abduct on the mothership would of changed the game a lot. Poor Lowko thanks for the content!
Nah one Abduct would’ve changed nothing. A dozen would be nice tho!
I would have gone with Vipers to get picks or Infestors for that dank -50% air-to-ground damage taken. (imagine hydralisks with 160 hp)
I’d say you didn’t have enough corrupters, he had no storm and no archons, so like hydra lurker corrupter, with the you doing mostly counter/ multiprong attacks with lurkers, killing static d and bases since skytoss slow as hell, and then back at home you got queens and corrupted, you could even multi-prong and vomit on there bases with corrupters, that’s my idea as a Protoss player myself
Lowko I think that you would like infestors to fungal growths the tempests, and that way short the distance, maybe you could try that
And maybe if corruptors would puke on Gold Base white early you could shut his eco, would it work? And then huge fungals.
60 supply of hydras for a 400/400 motherboard, sounds like a nice trade :P
that partnership, pog
Lowko better be using the lowko announcer
Zerg needs sky-banes! SCOOOOOURGE!
I started to not leave after my gg (reaction or statement behind my Skytoss oppinion), its cummon that the enmies are not patient enough to hunt behind all ... so I won few times thru their leaving after stressful hunts xD
Ngl bro that’s just toxic
hi Lowko
Hello Hunter!
@@LowkoTV I would heart your comment if I could

Would a nydus have turned the match around?
nice shirt
Please try to get Armani as sponsor and then play in a suit and tie ;) And then say "I like your void rays...it would be a shame if something happens to them"
*quick question*
Broodlord or Swarmhost?
Different units, both are decently good
Why is Lowko playing Starcraft without Lowko Announcer activated?
new shirt does look gud though
Lowko you should get on the battlenet forums and tell them to nerf the tempest!!
I think Benetton is sponsoring Lowko because they secretly want him to model for them. I personally wouldn't be able to distinguish him from the other models on the website.
They didn't have to remove the Zerg Scourge. Viper, hydra, scourge against this comp maybe?
ALL CAPS FOR LOWKO TO NOTICE THANKS, hey lowko can you make a video on why alphastar project is gone, any updates if its okay with you, cant find any video explaining what happened to the project
You do promos before? I've never seen one, is this a new thing?
I don’t do a lot, only with brands I really like.
Should have gone for some infestor for fungal growth. Will have change the fight totally.
Love ur content!
5:43 what was that face ???
Vipers would have been worth their weight in gold.
love your work, nice games, what was this elo? diamond/master?
Master
Master 1, low GM MMR
Interraction with your subscribers is important. Did you know
Blue cyberzerg?
And this make another submission for "Is it imba or do i suck"..
Protoss more like pootoss.
Play the reverse campaign
Interesting format. But there is one drawback, games will always contain zerg on one side. How about trying to play a random race for these videos? It would be interesting to watch.
Godmorgon!
Wuhahaha the golden armada
Sup lowko Benetton clutching in
The Bennetton from the very same Bennetton F1 team?!?!? Nice.
Ex F1 team.*
it hurts my eyes to see the screen flip so much...
That's my dads shirt :)
Day 7 of complaining until Lowko puts arrows on every letter in the thumbnail.
And im truly curious, do people who you dont know, but, they have seen you on RUclips, meet you and they call you lowko, is that weird for you? Do you get used to it, like a stranger being like hey lowko, do you double take? Just a curiosity.
SC2 streamer/model
I always lose against skytoss whith hydra. Corrupters and vipers are better
Posting a loss is humanizing
