My second child was born about 3 weeks ago. And I will say that SC2 is not a great game for a new child because you need both arms and full attention. With my first I ended up playing a lot of team fight tactics because you can play that one while holding a sleeping baby because you just need a mouse.
not a parent but an elder brother. these little craplings really take a lot of your time and destroy your sleep, especially in the first 2 to 3 years of their lives. by the age they stop being an absolute nuisance you become that existential defeat face from the "don't know / know" memes who doesn't think of having a family of his own. "oh no, not this crap again!" that's why a lot of child-free people i know are the ones who have a lot of younger siblings. and by the way, you never know with Dark. he might've trained some AI to play like him and he might be happily sleeping whilst that AI wins him $$$. cheesy Dark is a blessing regardless. but more viewer games please! these are the best from the fun standpoint.
The sentry is the best protoss unit by far. Force field, guardian shield (instant +2 armor to all of your army) and scout with a single 100 gas tier 1 unit ? I'll always take it
Can someone please explain to me why protoss doesn't go for shield upgrades? As I understand it, the shield upgrade effectively adds armor to everything. Shields do regenerate... So if I can have say 80 shields with +3 armor, that basically is +240 hp that regenerates relatively quickly out of combat. It also would make shield batteries a proper pain... Why invest in upgrading the actual armor that can't be repaired whatsoever OVER the shields?
Most people upgrade armor because it's cheaper and most units have more health points than plasma shield points. Also, a Ghost with EMP can easily rip through shields regardless of upgrades.
In second match, MaxPax had his probe in Dark's mineral line, and just 'touched' the minerals, then moved to another mineral node, like many times. What is the strategy there? Just 'killing time' while doing recon; or does touching the mineral nodes do something to Dark's ability to mine those nodes?
@@Spartsou Cool. Thanks for the info. I actually was watching a video from Harstem where he was doing a voice-over of his own games for some tournament he was in, and he too had a probe messing with the mineral line. In the Harstem video, it was more evident, to me, that the probe on the mineral line was messing with the Zerg's drones -- drone kept resetting to another node.
Would love to see some more coverage of the un-usual suspects, I know the top players generally are more entertaining but feels like there's so much overlap in duplicate coverage of these same games these days.
39:24 some deep mastery decision making, for sure. Back in my sc bw days, I excelled cuz that ability to decide to NOT wait, cuz, HUP.. mistake! 42:35 making excessive ovies clears up mental space? It's giving oneself a breather, subconsciously? Dark definitely owning this one.
Dark is less predictable, more fun, harder to read. He's better for viewers. Serral is more efficient and takes more prizes. He's better as a pro gamer.
to me, it is pretty clear to see that hydra lurker just counter any combination that toss can do, ohh you go air - more hydras, ohhh i killed all your air and you are trying to do some ground stuff, let me morph some hydras into some lurkers on the fly. Imo hydras should not be able to be morphed into lurkers, lurkers should be something you need to build from larvae and also when they are morphing they should take more damage, just like when Protoss is warping in their units.
Lowko: "I cant think of another best unit for each race"
SCVs, Probes and Drones: Are we a joke to you?
The best unit composition is 6 probes.
@@minidiamantl5462 As Lowko would say, more stuff beats less stuff. The best unit composition is 200 SCVs.
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Max’s defense has been on display as of late and Dark was creative to figure out how to overcome it. Very entertaining.

Could he not time the nova when the stasis ends? Would it not been free kills almost?
Even with a 9-5, kids will still make you sleep deprived
can confirm
I have a 7 year old son, he still disrupts my sleep 1-2 nights per week
One more nova, game over!😁MC LOWKO in da house
That drone mineral walking by dark in game two..... That's just something Sick.
Plss come back with the viewer games
To be honest i also miss the viewer games

Yes pls!

Congratulations! Yes you have other games to play now
Lowko: Zerg players are copycats
Me: remember the Erik build?
I was not expecting MaxPax playing against Dark, *yes!*

He creates his own work schedule ( ok apart from the competition matches ), he has the option of sleeping when the toddler naps
That Dutch "meh" is very interesting.
Wow, Dark just absolutely dominated Maxpax, I did not see that one coming
"It's very easy to try and invent the wheel yourself"
but it doesn't hurt using a stencil to do so
"I thought Lowko had uploaded 2 videos of Dark in a single day, but he just changed the name... sad life :D."
The sentry is the best protoss unit by far. Force field, guardian shield (instant +2 armor to all of your army) and scout with a single 100 gas tier 1 unit ? I'll always take it
I'm disappointed Lowko! You had Dark the Shark literally right there on a silver platter 😢
great series!
12:21 fucking love you lowko 😂
I see Lowko publish new material i `m giving like i`m simply man
Also dont forget Scarletts creep is bigger than everyone.

only 3 workers can be on a mineral node at a time, so he was disrupting Dark from mining optimally--ever so slightly

first match was a classic bronze zerg rush
@ 3:55 That's what she said!!
I must have missed that day in history class when the great state of South Korea and Denmark joined the USA. Are They drivable from Ohio?
25:22 Avoid getting those big balls to the face, unless he likes it XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

This is the tryhard Dark
I love your accent Loko!

4th game why did he not make a back to back hatch ( Dark)
When maxpax didn't send 2 novas into the stasis roaches :/
Soooooo.... Who is better, Dark or Serral? Broodlords, lets vote
Dark is less predictable, more fun, harder to read. He's better for viewers.
Serral is more efficient and takes more prizes. He's better as a pro gamer.
