HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 янв 2024
- Best-of-2 series of top level StarCraft 2 between SHIN (Zerg) and Cure (Terran). In this series Cure plays very differently than what he recently did against Reynor, as he decides to play an active and very cheeky style of Terran.

There is nothing more iconic in the RUclips than "hello everyone my name is lowko and welcome back to a professional match of StarCraft II"
"none uder den Clem"
lol been watching him for year. 😊
Automatic like
🎉🎉🎉
Is your code name deep throat
You know it's you've got a starcraft addiction when you realise Lowko posts daily at 4pm CET. 😂
7 am pst for me lol, which turns out is my lunchtime because my shift starts early so it's perfect
Full Lowko intro and SC1 Terran music? Kicking this video off with max serotonin!
damn, its always such joy to hear Lowko's little intro tune
Will someone please make a remix out of it?
Yes dude the old intro! I say old but it feels like Lowko has been doing that more lately
That muta bomb from the widow mine at about 9 minutes. Totally worth the deep voice. “ critical hit “
You may call it the pseudo-drop. Thanks for the cast. Very entertaining, as usual.
19:20
"Uh, guys? Anyone see that?"
"See what?"
"That Overlord floating there."
"I don't see nothing."
"What? It's a big blue airbag hovering over that building!"
"There's nothing there, man."
"Just look up, dude!"
"Why, there's nothing there. Greg, you see something?"
"Nope, how about you Mark?"
"Not a thing."
"How do you guys-"
*com beeps from the command center*
"OVERLORD AT 3 O'CLOCK, OPEN FIRE!"
"WHERE THE HELL DID IT COME FROM?"
"I DON'T KNOW, DO ZERG HAVE CLOAKING NOW?"
"MAYBE IT TELEPORTED, LIKE STALKERS!"
I don't know what I would do without Lowko. I haven't found anyone I enjoy watching cast games as much since Husky. Every day at work when I go on lunch break I am basically watching a Lowko cast.
37:20
"Sir, I'm afraid we nuked one of our own Marauders."
"Oh dear...send a ham to his widow."
"Well he decided to play Mutas, then the mutas died." -Lowko recaping on where the strategy failed. Jan 2024
Honestly I like the best of 2 format. If we get a best of 5 for example, and the score is 2 - 1, but there's 5 minutes left in the video, I know who is going to win
Yeah, I was thinking about suggesting to add another 10-20 minutes of black screen to those games, but this wouldn't be good for the algorithm I figured, so I didn't suggest it 😂
turns out balancing Zerg around Seral was a bad idea
Right? It's been half a year, and it's obvious that 1) the Cyclone rework did not do what it was intended to do, 2) Zerg has really lost out in build variety as players adjust to the new reality of banelings being pretty bad in pro games, and 3) widow mines somehow missed the double nerf they really, desperately need. Where is the balance council?
Another thing that I would find interesting would be to change the way ling bane works. Since they removed the +5HP on the bane research to decrease splash damage (which I am fine witth) they could maybe add that +5HP to the zerglings through adrenal glands. That would make sense logically when considering the name of the upgrade and serve the purpose if decreasing splash damage while not punishing ling bane too much. This would make zerglings able to act like more of a meat shield for the banes when both are in big numbers, while at the same time preserving and even increasing the importance of sniping the banes.
Adrenal glands is also an upgrade that you get late enough to not make the zergling boost to OP while still preserving the early game and working as a driving factor for zerg-players to tech up faster.
12:27 Not Safe For Zerg moment.
Cure: forgets to load medivacs before flying them over
Lowko: CURE'S 200 IQ EMPTY MEDIVAC DROP STRATEGY!!!
Lowko's casting is a national treasure
classic lowko intro = instant like
finally, the empty medivac drop
ever since i've seen it in one of your recent casts ( against protoss i think, was a single medivac supposedly having widow mines ) and i wanted to see it be implimented like this
i lol'd at the diva impersonation, so good lol
In competitive boxing or fencing they'd call that medivac move a "feint", and that seems appropriate here too.
The OG soundtrack from StarCraft is always so good to listen to
Honestly. Widow mines are just not fun to play against or watch. They require no micro, no precision, and deals way more damage than burrowed banelings, without dying. I'm not even saying they're imbalanced. They just shut down way too much interesting stuff, way too easily.
loving the more edits very fun
"you are all out of minerals but there's still plenty of rocks~"
I'd probably call it a "Medivac feint".
Love the sc1 soundtrack!
There's something about that intro that makes me smile every time!
My man Cure decided to play tower defense in the last game
I was so confused about how the best Terran song was in SC2! thanks editor lowko!
That was quite the back and forth.
Thanks lowko. Thanks editor ❤
Terran two in the beginning was amazing
Cure and clem are becoming my new favorites along with Maxpax
your intro just helped me find you, i love it
I think that the best balance option for widow mines would be to double the targeting time. They are the only unit capable of extreme splash damage where you do not get any time to respond. Other units are visable or their attacks have a pretty long timer before all the damage is dealt. But the widow mine is invisible and does it's full damage in about 0,5 seconds, which is ridiculous. I really like terran as a race in SC2, but I always find myself cringing HARD whenever someone recieves a cheap win because of a unit that is based purely on luck. It also destroys a lot of fun builds against terran which just serves to limit the amount of variety of styles possible in high level games. To me that makes SC2 a bit less interesting to watch in all honesty.
I personally think that variety in builds as well as a focus on more strategic plays as well as mind games would be a better focus for the game, meaning that as many luck based factors as possible needs to be removed or minimized at the very least.
The example of the widow mines behind the vespin gayser was a great show of just strategy, but I do find it unreasonable that your mutas are instantly doomed even though you are fast on the keyboard and instantly retreat after seeing the lock on. Just forcing the mutas to retreat would have been good enough in my opinion.
big ups
the fact widows were unfathomably BUFFED in the last patch will never be lived down
Listening to your DVa impression has made me want a Toad announcer pack XD
Yeahhhhh!!!!
The Intro!!!!❤
Zerg charging and backing off against Terran always loses them so, so many units.
Either flee, or commit; I see so often half an army is whittled away for no gain, without even making an attack.
I for one am thrilled about using SC1 music! Terran 2 is a banger.
17:40 when that music kicks in
great game!
Hell of a games
yeah, that song rocks, editor Lowko!
I'll be waiting for that Maru vs. Clem game series with bated breath...lol
20:45
is that Milo, Lowko, or Tobey?
That deep voice mod made think of super troopers lol
Love the sc 1 soundtrack❤
*In Hank's voice: Its not rocks Dva.
Half a cast with the ultra deep voice locomotive please
You’re all out of minerals but there’s plenty of rocks!
He did the thing. HE DID THE THING!!!
Lowko, if I still played Starcraft I’d 200% use you as an announcer. Hands down.
Can you feature an old match? Maybe an insane reaper attack by Byun before getting nerfed back in the day
is perfect
Jason Statham voiceover, "you aven't got the minerals, you ponce."
So lowko even says it Ultras are bad mutualists are bad hydraliss are bad they nerfed banelings the reason why the top Zerg players win is because they're really good everyone else below that struggles and it's going to be even harder it's BS
the empty medivac drop will be called, the mediVACANT drop.
Hello Lowko!!
Hello Lowko, have a nice day !
It is most definitely a drop, as you drop the fear of god into your enemy's heart 🧐
Out of curiosity, what app do you use for voice changer?
I'm new to the game. How to rotate building when built?
Pleeeaaaseee cast Maru vs. Clem! That sounds incredible. 🖤
I don't know @Lowko that deep demon voice is pretty funny
It's a medivac fadeaway
If Shin had gone mass casters he would've won. Abduct, fungal, abduct, fungal.
He said the hello everyone instant like
Cure dropped his worker count to field a bigger army. but he dropped so many that he couldn't mine gas.
That was mildly funny.
that was impressive accent free german lowko
Lowko call it an “empty medivac drop-threat”
Or Empty medivac drop-fake
Im constantly surprised to see low queen counts late game. They are the best no-gas unit for zerg.
Why does shin not attack after min 24? he had alot of units left to counterattack.
Broodwar music! My second favourite soundtrack, D2 is my first.
thx for terran2 mastapiece btw.
Can a 2-game series even be a “best of”? It’s really just a two game series right?
The german impression made me crack up lol xD Diese Kommentarspalte ist demnächst Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland, dange
dude you should totally play around with the voices lol
What about letting both SC1 and SC2 musics for your casts ? :D
The word you're looking for is "feint." It is a medivac drop feint.
what is the time-stamp for medi-drop?
21:54
we need a cast with lowko using the voice changer the whole time
T = OP
"medivac feint"
We can call it medivac bluff, medi-bluff?
That 2nd game was just painful to watch. Nydus, dropalords?
that was some fantastic German right there!
"gold league baneling buster" will lose to 1 reaper of Cure
Hahaha love the voice changer. You should do a whole video with that turned on!
An empty Medivac drop is a 'Frop', a 'faux drop'
Cure absolutely destoyed him. Gg
If you're not playing with the Total Biscuit voice line, you're playing SC2 wrong.
Hey Lowko you should cast a series where you only use the voice changer. Make it an April Fool's Day episode or something XD
來新影片了謝謝
We need an entire cast with high-pitch lowko
His voice is always nasal high pitch.
fake news@@RastamanLiveUp
No we don't
No! Bad Shin!
No! Bad Lowko!
DecoyVac?
12:30 shows exactly why widow mines are OP against zerg.
Maybe he changed his name to "Shin" cause it also means "God" in Korean
I know lowko hates doing it... but that intro is better than a cup of coffee in the morning!
timely upload.....!
Honestly this series was hard to watch. Terran just turtling and it looked like zerg had no chance the entire time.
Hey Lowko, if you have the toys you should use them. Start with the voice change next week! Lol
Out of curiosity, can Mules collect gas? I don't play, just wondering, has anyone ever tried it?
they used to, if I remember correctly, but nowadays they don't.
