@@AramTaranyan Maybe could make all these videos say 20 minutes, then any extra can go to a separate channel which he tells people not to subscribe to. But then he'd lose out on ad time past 20 minutes.
Just wanted to say Your videos are one of the few things I look forward to in my day Your uploads are up at about 2-3am And as someone who cant really sleep It’s nice to have something to watch on a day-to-day basis I usually go for a nice hot shower while watching your casts Keep it up

I don’t usually comment, but I have to describe one thing... After Husky retired, I thought no one would ever be as fun commentator as he was. After a few years I realized, that you are here Lowko and I'm glad I was wrong. Keep it up dude!
Agreed, I couldn't find a commentator I enjoyed after HDStarcraft and Husky left and therefore left the scene for a long time. Glad I stumbled upon this guy, great energy and fun to listen to.
23:43 Harstem actually talked recently about this, it's not cos zest is marco-ing poorly, it's just how protoss kinda function, with the build orders if you want to be efficient you will float minerals, it's kinda avoidable at least in the early game
I'm sorry, but I can't remain silent any longer, and must set the record straight: Zealots DO have arms and hands! Their Psi Blades pop out above their wrists, kinda like Wolverine! So they can, indeed, wipe their own bottoms. Okay, I've said my peace and can calm down now.
Ghost Transition as a variant of Ghost Division is really cool, never thought Lowko listens to such music, always though he is more into classical music...
Lowko did you notice coop commander has reset their max level to 5 after we update ? it's not talking about the system we can reset 4 times to upgrate commande skill or something,it's just look like some glitches and happan on every commander.
Those shields put up by zest in game 5 were very well placed. How me micros the opponenta front and their CC simultaneously I’ll never understand as I don’t have 3 brains and 5 hands
In one of your videos could you explain how each races balance when it comes to drones producing structures? Terran SCV's have to stay and construct the building, Zerg drones sacrifice their life to produce the structure, and protoss probes just warp in whatever they want and are free to do other things while it finishes. How does all that balance out across the three races?
"a little bit of damage on my side, a little bit of protoss in my life, a little bit of defense is all I need, recall and psi storms is what you see, killing your scv's just for fun, got another warp in now you're done"
190 year old lowko casting: Hellllllooooo everyone my name isssssss.... What's my name again? Where's my baby carrots and hummus? What is this show? What's a cast? I don't have a broken bone... Why would I have a cast?
in game 4, couldn't Gumiho have either flown some of his remaining barracks to distract some stalkers at the end, or land them and make at least a few more marines with his remaining minerals?
@@itsgivingkyle Zest wouldn’t fall for it, but the stalker AI might. Fly in the barracks right before you attack so that the stalker attack is on cooldown. I don’t know if it would have made a difference, but you could theoretically guarantee you get the first shot.
@@nanowasabi4421 That’s valid and would have been a good effort. Either way units target attacking enemy units before structures but that would have been interesting to watch
SCVs have 55 life, while drones have 50 and probes have 25 life and 25 shields. In a worker vs worker battle, for example, SCVs take 11 hits to kill (each hit does 5 damage), while drones take 11 hits (because they regenerate a bit of life during the battle) and probes take 10 hits (their shields only regenerate if they leave the battle for a few seconds). So, oracles and adepts, who two-shot probes and drones, but they three-shot SCVs because SCVs have that extra 5 life (drone regeneration isn't fast enough to require an extra hit from oracles or adepts).
Dang, I was late to the daily upload. Personally, I blame the More Lowko's Inscryption playthru. A little unbelievable that he can milk 17 hours of playtime off a single 3.5" diskette game.
22:38, Terran Imba Confirmed! adept deal 22 damage, 2 shot from an adept deal 44 damage. Marine has 45 health and Scv too have 45 health while other workers only has 40 health. Plus, terran have medivac to heal the marines on the move. Terran are being babied by blizzard, googu gaga. alright this was a joke, scv has 45 health rather than 40 is because they did not "technically" has regeneration. Opening adept is not really great against terran, like jeez you guys already have retractable wall. That can counter an adept pretty well already. But needing to three shot a marine or SCV? seems a bit excessive advantage don't you think?. Having more time to micro your marine and workers and all..... How about this, It a bit crazy but bare with me. How about SCV and Marine health reduce by 1 healthpoint? Alright, alright, you are right that's a bit to much for you terran. How about adept has 22.5 damage? Its just an increase of 0.5 damage, adept are not used very much either in TvP, I even put T in front of P for you guys, think about it. Tell me what you think, Deal? Edit: an increase in Light bonus damage, if it was an increase in base damage my zerg brethren might not see the light of day with roaches getting extra damge. Zergling is already death right now by adept, overkill aint gonna matter.
Drone turns into a building. Probe warps in a building then leaves. SCV has to dry hump a building tell it's fully built and it being able to be 2 shot that early would be a big no no. This is the exact reason why adepts damage was set at 1 damage short. Marine has always been 45 health in the game. It's never going to change.
@@jasonlynch282 uhhh, yes I know terran cant even afford to decrease one 1 hp. Thats why I want adept to increse damage even only a little. It does change any other interacti... WAIT WHAT!? you think scv has 45 health so that adept cannot 2 shot scv when building, bro! terran building can lift of the ground. You have supply wall, is it to hard to make CC on high ground. You have this ability and you don't want to use it, why?. You don't like the slightly lost mining time, you guys have MULES. This is just reinforcing that terrans are Googu gaga
@@nahruz.w3044 read what I said. Not sure how you got SCV health is 45 because of adept. SCV was before adept existed. A lot of units damage per hit is directly setup to kill a target in one less hit after a tech advantage is gained. Such as getting +1 weapons before opponent gets +1 armor. Game is really well done with upgrades in tech advantages. Want to 2 shot them so bad? Get a forge and chrono weapons upgrade and deal with a delayed adept attack that's going to be an all in. Wouldn't recommend it but you get what you want out of your adepts. Good luck on the ladder.
Terran *is* imba, but not for this reason. First, they got marines: dirt cheap ranged units that also double as EXTREMELY powerful anti-air and don't need gas. Should you choose to upgrade them, you can give an already powerful unit more HP and an option to trade it for a serious attack speed boost. But wait, that's not all! If you provide healing, you don't need to choose between the two, you can have both bonus health AND an attack speed boost! Paired with medivacs, marines are de-facto reapers with a range upgrade that also can shoot up and cost zero gas. Second, they got scanner sweep. If you're a terran, you never have to worry about scouting: if you think something is afoot, you just click wherever to confirm your suspicions, and your opponent is physically unable to do *anything* about it. You can catch the zerg Overseer and deny scouting, you can catch the protoss Oracle and deny scouting, but terran scouting cannot be denied. Late game terran is effectively playing with a map hack, it's literally impossible to get a jump on them. Third, they got ghosts. Pretty expensive, true, but they got -DELETE PROTOSS- EMP that's in every way superior against protoss (compare it with psi storm: EMP is instantaneous, you can't micro away from it, and also doubles as feedback, so you need no micro to shut down enemy casters) and they got snipe that's in every way superior against zerg. Oh, and just a cherry on top, they also got stealth. Against factions that don't have unpreventable detection. Fourth, they got mules, so if you don't think you need a map hack at the moment, you can instead spawn a free SCV with an x2 bonus to mining, so terrans recover from an attack on their supply chains pretty much instantly, and a late game terran also has an effective +50-ish supply. So, to sum it up, terrans are enjoying - unbeatable scouting - complete immunity to attrition - the best, most versatile units in the game, one of them right from the start The only reason they don't consistently dominate all tournaments (although the overall terran winrate in major tournaments averages 44%) is that zerg often has enough production to win despite losing more in terms of resources, and protoss can actually use their brains and play strategically, creating situations where even the best units in the game are not enough to win.
Zest is really good BUT he has a unite with an ability that is too OP : Blink!! If you don't believe me watch the game from Alpha Star and then you will change your mind!! Stalkers NEED to be removed from game SC2 and be replaced by dragoons to be less Imbalance and to be more cannon ! Also widow mines can be way too easily countered by protoss!! Terran NEED mass anti ground which is MOBILE aka not tanks!! We really need Banshees with their AOE ability : Barrage to fight against Zerg and Protoss!
lowko talks to himself all day and never runs out of words to say. he talks to us like a good friend
half of these videos he didnt even know he was streaming
~10:00 "Coming back after being down two games almost never happens."
*Looks at remaining 30 minutes*
Casters Curse strikes again...
Was cool actually like setting up the dramatic comeback

“The beautiful country of Europe” Lowko 2022
F E D E R A L I Z E
Laugh in EU headquarter
I'm from the small city of France, can confirm Europe great country
Lowko is a good guy. Glad SC² still around. Timeless advancement on the game of chess.
Poland is really beautiful country of Europe! I am only 30 kilometers from Katowice ;-)
Zest. My dude. Game 4. Handling those widow mines like an absolute champ. That was a beautiful display of skill.
I just got into SC2. I’m in love. I hope the game doesn’t die anytime soon
38:11 such an epic intro and then…
Just wanted to say
Your videos are one of the few things I look forward to in my day
Your uploads are up at about 2-3am
And as someone who cant really sleep
It’s nice to have something to watch on a day-to-day basis
I usually go for a nice hot shower while watching your casts
Keep it up
Those storms at 19:00 caused my poor little Terran heart to fail. THE HUMANITY
With Medics from wings of Liberty we could withstand the storms !!
Medics get eviscerated by storm.
@@jasonlynch282 with enough of them they can heal each other and their allies since they have the 2 target healing ability.
Climate change is the bane of humanity even on other planets :3
"He has to win 3 in a row, and that barely even happens..
Zest: Hold my beer-"
As soon as Lowko says "Jimmy feels adventurous" Jimmy was like 'oh fuck that, I am retreating! Soon as a marine gets a name he dies!'
Lowko, your casting has been so cheerful and fun this last several videos!
Wow, Ive watch a lot of videos on your channel Lowko and I must say this is one of the best series I have ever witnessed. I mean who expected zest to take the opponent's natural that late into the game?!?Great commentary from you as usual and Im always excited to see what you cast next
Thank you for casting this fun game and today I bought LOWKO voice in SC2 !!! Woohooo!!
3:40
I like how you almost wanted to say 'Protoss LASERS PEW PEW',
but since you're a caster, you keep it cool and just say 'lasers' lol
professional
I don’t usually comment, but I have to describe one thing... After Husky retired, I thought no one would ever be as fun commentator as he was. After a few years I realized, that you are here Lowko and I'm glad I was wrong. Keep it up dude!
Agreed, I couldn't find a commentator I enjoyed after HDStarcraft and Husky left and therefore left the scene for a long time. Glad I stumbled upon this guy, great energy and fun to listen to.
23:43
Harstem actually talked recently about this, it's not cos zest is marco-ing poorly, it's just how protoss kinda function, with the build orders if you want to be efficient you will float minerals, it's kinda avoidable at least in the early game
it is kind of a debate still
I'm sorry, but I can't remain silent any longer, and must set the record straight: Zealots DO have arms and hands! Their Psi Blades pop out above their wrists, kinda like Wolverine! So they can, indeed, wipe their own bottoms.
Okay, I've said my peace and can calm down now.
Why would they want to wipe it tho ? Protoss have no mouth, it would be extra sad for them to still have an asshole.
It's like no one watched the starcraft 2 intro
Ghost Transition as a variant of Ghost Division is really cool, never thought Lowko listens to such music, always though he is more into classical music...
Great 5 games! Very impressive gameplay from both players. And great casting as always
Holy crap! That 4th game... that was insane...
I was so excited seeing these two going at it!
Lowko did you notice coop commander has reset their max level to 5 after we update ?
it's not talking about the system we can reset 4 times to upgrate commande skill or something,it's just look like some glitches and happan on every commander.
Those shields put up by zest in game 5 were very well placed. How me micros the opponenta front and their CC simultaneously I’ll never understand as I don’t have 3 brains and 5 hands
190 year old lowko "we have the hybrid going up against the xel'naga" haha.
what happened to zests phoenixes and oracle in game 4? he could've just a-moved them to the barracks once gumiho was revealed
When Lowko pointed out the floating structures, Zest didn’t have any air units left.
I sometimes wonder if lowko ever made a cast not entretained, been watching since 2017 and never once did i not loved your commentary
Ya, his energy is just always on point. Probably one of his best qualities.
Usually don't like protoss games but this one was great!! Thanks to you btw! Wonderful job
18:04 Stannis Baratheon: "Fewer."
Thanks, Lowko!
Best announcer in history. I feel like Lowko could announce anything
Havnt been following SC2 Pro scene for a while, wanted to ask what happened to Polt? He retired?
Poor Jimmy..he's always getting the short end of the stick
THAT...............WAS.......................SICK.
In one of your videos could you explain how each races balance when it comes to drones producing structures?
Terran SCV's have to stay and construct the building, Zerg drones sacrifice their life to produce the structure, and protoss probes just warp in whatever they want and are free to do other things while it finishes.
How does all that balance out across the three races?
Terran has mules, zerg can make a dozen drones at once if it wants...
I'd say that evens everything out quite a bit
Whats the name of that song? I just downloaded all terran songs I found and dont have this beautiful rhythm 😭
14:00 Spider-man PS4 intro soundtrack in the background?? 🤔
Being 30+, I love when Lowko talks about how he'll keep casting from the retirement home in the future, or when he tries to explain what VHS is. 😂
Lowko, at 35minutes you sounded like Deckard Cain a bit!
Wow strong start for gumiho!
It's 10 warp gates, gl finding the last one :)
Subbed. Glad to be here :)
omg that game 4 though!
my favorite matchup pvt
Did Lowko just confirm Starcraft 3?
Zest really showing his skill coming from 0-2 and winning the next 3 games. The guy works miracles under pressure 🤩
"a little bit of damage on my side, a little bit of protoss in my life, a little bit of defense is all I need, recall and psi storms is what you see, killing your scv's just for fun, got another warp in now you're done"
Awesome series agreed!
Damn, kinda surprised he didn't try to push with his remaining units
I'm a huge GuMiHo fan, no idea why but I think the dude is amazing.
190 year old lowko casting: Hellllllooooo everyone my name isssssss.... What's my name again? Where's my baby carrots and hummus? What is this show? What's a cast? I don't have a broken bone... Why would I have a cast?
Is it just me, or were the comments about living in a retirement home some of the best ever? 😂
in game 4, couldn't Gumiho have either flown some of his remaining barracks to distract some stalkers at the end, or land them and make at least a few more marines with his remaining minerals?

Did oracles always three hit scv's? I always thought it was 2.

@@rytan4516 thanks for the detailed response. That's crazy I've watched thousands of hours of sc2 and never noticed that.
Lowko likes Sabbaton? You're the best!
Finland to poland? Definitely taking the train.
How could he recall his stalkers so fast in the Third Game?
Awesome series
Zest's form is Godlike
10:55 these lined up shots with those hellions are damn sexy!)
19:00 Hearing this in italian.
comeone Lowko, why does the thumbnail show whos the winner?!
thats just wroong!
WOW!!! What a series! Felt the favoritism for Zest, but hey, no judgement :)
The only bad thing about watching a zest vs anyone replay in an ESL cup is knowing who will win before the game starts…
Deamn, love it!
"the beautiful country of Europe"
Lowko channeling his inner American
The Widow mines in that first game were depressing lol. Def more fun to watch than play tho.

Not enough arrows
I loved when you were pretending to cash SC3 as a 190 year old hahaha
He sounds like Tricia Takanawa, lol
Gumiho, why?? Why all in again? Should have proxied Zest!
Awsome

Terran *is* imba, but not for this reason.
First, they got marines: dirt cheap ranged units that also double as EXTREMELY powerful anti-air and don't need gas. Should you choose to upgrade them, you can give an already powerful unit more HP and an option to trade it for a serious attack speed boost. But wait, that's not all! If you provide healing, you don't need to choose between the two, you can have both bonus health AND an attack speed boost! Paired with medivacs, marines are de-facto reapers with a range upgrade that also can shoot up and cost zero gas.
Second, they got scanner sweep. If you're a terran, you never have to worry about scouting: if you think something is afoot, you just click wherever to confirm your suspicions, and your opponent is physically unable to do *anything* about it. You can catch the zerg Overseer and deny scouting, you can catch the protoss Oracle and deny scouting, but terran scouting cannot be denied.

Oh, and just a cherry on top, they also got stealth. Against factions that don't have unpreventable detection.
Fourth, they got mules, so if you don't think you need a map hack at the moment, you can instead spawn a free SCV with an x2 bonus to mining, so terrans recover from an attack on their supply chains pretty much instantly, and a late game terran also has an effective +50-ish supply.
So, to sum it up, terrans are enjoying
- unbeatable scouting
- complete immunity to attrition
- the best, most versatile units in the game, one of them right from the start
The only reason they don't consistently dominate all tournaments (although the overall terran winrate in major tournaments averages 44%) is that zerg often has enough production to win despite losing more in terms of resources, and protoss can actually use their brains and play strategically, creating situations where even the best units in the game are not enough to win.
