As a Platinum Zerg, I face cannon rushes about 1 in 6 games against Protoss. It happens enough that you have to consider it and be ready, but nearly as often as the submitted games make it seem
You just have to be ready for them and remember that a cannon rush is an all-in. If you beat the cannon rush 9 out of 10 times you've won the game. Just don't let them transition to immortals.
@@YbotPoweredGamingNot true at all. Cannon is only an all in if they really commit to it (over two cannons). A low committal cannon rush is actually more economical than a 12 pool expand for Zerg. And they get the added benefit of then being able to turtle at home after. Even if you go for the most economic build you can and defend flawlessly, it essentially just becomes a standard macro game (again, if it’s low commitment).
Protoss: A is for A-move, B is for Bad APM, C is for cannon rush, D is for Dark Templar transition, E is for EZ race, F is for Forge first always, G is for gateways never, H is for hates themselves clearly, I is for it’s true… I play Protoss.
Conceding the game early is only good when you can reasonably assume your opponent isn't going to make any stupid mistakes and throw the game for you. At this level of game, that's just not a reasonable assumption to make. Those guys weren't conceding and then continuing to play, they were using the GG as a trick to throw their opponent off the scent and make them let their guard down and play worse, thinking they've won, so they throw the game.
I mean, it was close to a double knock out but technically it was more like one opponent saying "good job, you win", and then the other one tapping out for some reason. Cadaverous walked away with the technical win. And thanks to this replay casting, anyone who goes up against him is going to play dirty against him as payback!
As someone who regularly ladders it's a mixed bag for me. I like to watch it for the laughs, but sometimes the ridiculous nonsense they do feels like it literally hurts me. Like, I literally have to look away for a moment.
@@ZerglingLover I'm Diamond league, and that's still on the lower echelons in terms of Starcraft skill. I definitely have done bad mistakes like lose my army to a bunch of mines, or overestimate the strength (or lack thereof) of a worker pull against a cannon rush. But I'm still confident I wouldn't do absolutely rubbish stuff like what we see in these viewer games, which mostly compose of Silver league-ish games, and makes absolutely no sense.
@@hetaresgaming7771 diamond isn’t very impressive. I’m diamond and still make incredibly stupid plays. We all do, just not on the same frequency and level as the people in the viewer replays. Mostly, it was just a joke.
@@ZerglingLover Indeed, I did say diamond is nothing to boast of. And like I have also already said, I've done stupid things in the past. But nothing, certainly nothing, of the near nonsensical level of, say, the over cannon rush vs the redudant bunker contain in the video above.
4:45 really need an APM check at points like this in the cast, Lowko. Literally, what is the terran even doing right now? Where is he even looking that 0 actions are being taken. I'da sent my marines up the ramp out of boredom much less any logical response.
When I played SC2 I did not see a lot of cannon rushes (gold to plat), maybe one in 30 games against Protoss, so it's not really that popular, it's just what gets sent in
Nah, the last trick on the last page of the Book of Cheese says: Call GG, dont leave and maybe your oponent will think that won and leave for a free win.
These are the best! Love viewer submitted. As for forge first, I feel like I see it 90% of the time in the 4v4 games I play. Not sure if the different dynamic justifies it but it’s definitely common.
At the end the victory screen says the Protoss one and that the red zerg was defeated and left the game? Is that just a weird thing with the replay or?
if the first game was already legendary in my book, and lowko called it warmup because the 2nd game is amazing; then i have no idea what to expect but i am hyped
18:10 ya know, I've left ya on in the background and youtube autoplayed the first viewer tournament so many times that I had to make sure this was a seperate telling of that joke
Cadaverous is giving the rest of us Platinum Protoss Players a bad name. Also, most games I play as all races on Platinum are not this interesting. There are a lot of one-base all-ins. Immortal is all in for Protoss, Cyclone and Reaper are all in for Terran and Zerg tends to mass roaches on two bases.
The thing is zerg could've ld mined, but didn't cause the "gg". And while its a dick move from toss, zerg still should've played till the victory screen, so thats on him too.
SIRIOUSLY! Zerg could win so eazy. You don't wanna bring Queens out of position? Fine. Bring Overlords closer and spread the creep for Queens and place a Tumor, put two Spinecrawler close by and push slowly down the ramp. WON!
Thank you for casting my game, it was a lot of fun to hear your cast of it 😂
👍
when in doubt....attack man!
For Protoss: A is for Adept, B is for Bad Manners, C is for Cannon Rush and D is for Dark Templar.
A is For Aiur!
B is for Bob. The zealot whose job is to be the door at the protoss base, preventing the enemy zerglings from entering.
E is for eek they have detection
A for A move :D
F is for our wins in tournaments.
G is for Gantrithor
H is for Hate orifices.
Oldest trick in the book. Type GG and hope that opponent will go with reflexes
Clearly the A is for "All Army" hotkey.
Only if it’s hero, and N is for No Zealot in the wall😂
Nah it's for "A-move"
@@MSDoL Why not both? All-army A-Move

the roach attacking the spawning pool really made me giggle
When listening to the player names, and not yet reading them, i thought they were 'Tea Time' and 'Tea Vendor' :D

Yes, yes, yes! We need more of these, please and thank you!

I was thinking "A" is for Auir
I just started this video and I already have anxiety
I'd be down for more "Guided Meditation with Lowko" on the MoreLowko channel 😂

I seriously thought of "A Voidray" when he said ABC of Protoss - what was the word that I should've thought of obviously?
I put Airtoss, gotta carrier rush every so often to qualify for metal leagues
I really like these lower level games because I can truly understand everything that’s going on. 😂
please cast these more often! I keep returning to your channel for viewer games mainly

When I played SC2 I did not see a lot of cannon rushes (gold to plat), maybe one in 30 games against Protoss, so it's not really that popular, it's just what gets sent in
One word: PAIN
disgust is another one... watching this gave me a full body cringe

The forge in plat isn't common at all xD. Its just the viewer submited games
Gotta love these! Confusing for everyone involved.
I love how one pylon is powering the entire walloff
As a lifelong Protoss main. I am not proud of Cadaverous; but I am also very proud of Cadaverous.
That Oracle.
At the end the victory screen says the Protoss one and that the red zerg was defeated and left the game? Is that just a weird thing with the replay or?
The Zerg left the game, he probably thought he couldn't win, or maybe he just ragequitted.

18:10 ya know, I've left ya on in the background and youtube autoplayed the first viewer tournament so many times that I had to make sure this was a seperate telling of that joke
Finally a viewer game with 2 people who actually play like they have a brain (the second replay). Can we have more of those pls?
you say that about a guy who attacks his own building.......................
A- another forge
B - base rush
C - canons
D - darks templars
E - (send) Eeeeeveryone
G - Gg.
A is for Assimilator
B is for Battery
C is for Cannon
D is for Dark Shrine
My mind jumped to A is for Arbiter.
Then again, I'm from the Broodwar generation (not that I was any good)
23:57 A is for Aiur!!!!
I am low diamond and it’s actually super hard to push mmr if you don’t know how to turtle. 4/5 games your opponents just roll the dice.
Defensive structures ONLY. Real ones will remember NetStorm 😔
Lowko i wanna see you play urself some time on the channel again man.
Cadaverous is giving the rest of us Platinum Protoss Players a bad name.
Also, most games I play as all races on Platinum are not this interesting. There are a lot of one-base all-ins. Immortal is all in for Protoss, Cyclone and Reaper are all in for Terran and Zerg tends to mass roaches on two bases.
being compromised in to catdogs you mean😂
Always
Be
Canoning
Hey Lowko, the people love your intro, which is "Hello everyone my name is Lowko". We kindly request that you return back to saying it every video :)
Yes it is as common. I hate it but played long enough protoss myself, so I quite know how to handle it haha
I thought one of the biggest blunders is getting involved in a land war in Asia?
So easy to come back and win in both of those games
The thing is zerg could've ld mined, but didn't cause the "gg". And while its a dick move from toss, zerg still should've played till the victory screen, so thats on him too.
These games hurt me.
A is for all army hotkey
STARCRAFT FOREVER
Ɐoid Ray!
SIRIOUSLY! Zerg could win so eazy. You don't wanna bring Queens out of position? Fine.
Bring Overlords closer and spread the creep for Queens and place a Tumor, put two Spinecrawler close by and push slowly down the ramp. WON!
well he think that protos has bank so for the time the zerg will come the protoss will have more stalkers and zealots cuz of the 3 gateway.
@lowko @ 23:50 Archons? that would get your content demonetized lolz... glhf fam!
I play silver too and they are cannon rushng all the time its annoooooyyyying!
A is for Airtoss lol
A is for a move 😂
silver league games, lovely
Lowko, so hung up on video game etiquette. I hope he's wearing a monocle.
Whooooot? Game number 2.
i accidently clicked on the notif but i don't regret it!
Amon is satisfied!
how can you play zerg and be so bad at macro
I play 4v4 on eu server and the russian guyz dont work a team some are team killers and some are always afk why tf they do this
1500 MMR IMO
Ok... Genshin & HSR when?
