The way shin has been circling expansions mid-game onward definitely feels like some shark behavior. Pretty dope to see. Back I found out Shin is Ragnarok, I was like "OOOhhhhh!" So much started to make sense.
@@yarikyaryi I mean his mass overseer strategy is something no other zerg even tried ... if its not something innovative then idk what else you need :D
I find Shin's use of lurkers particularly interesting here. While usually it seems like people would just dive them into the bases for maximum economic damage, here he's positioning them as zoning units, so that zerglings and hydras can do most of the offensive heavy work while being protected from the protoss ball. Almost like how Terrans use their siege tanks, basically, and let their bio units do most of the damage. Yeah, I like it a lot.
Am a huge serral fan, but recently I've been enjoying shen games a lot more, don't get me wrong serral games are flawless but shen manages to make the games a lot more fun to watch with his changing strats and the occasional adrenal glands upgrades 😂
this really shows the big buff protoss gets on the test server compared to the current version of the game....see how Maxpax really struggle here but in the test server he demolishes clem and mostly everyone else
Hi Lowko, been watching for a while, thanks for posting such fun videos! Update: my version of SC2 is now the updated multiplayer balance patch (or at least I assume so; I queued up a practice game and my hatcheries were 275 minerals and queens were 175 minerals)
Keep it up, StarCraft 2 is one of my GOAT games and even though I suck at it I love watching it. I hope the new patch brings great builds and a better balance 🙂
yeahhh! Let's goooo!!!! thanks Lowko! I know this was posted before the new patch went live today, but I think that the new patch is the PTR patch, every time Lowko says it's the live version of the game.😅
That last game was painful. Why did max rush skytoss when he knew shin already had a spire? That game was very playable before that poor decision. Also shin has really improved the last few months, I used to hate watching his matches but lately they’ve been solid.
Epic fights from both sides. But that kinda prooves the point doesn't it? Actually I think Zergs are not overtuned at this stage. But Skytoss in particular is severely underpowered. Toss ground is mostly fine, but casters are a bit trash (least burst by far out of all races). Toss is the only race without 1shot capability (snipe/abduct).
Roman consuls served short terms as the republic believed that by allowing only short terms, they would reduce the prevalence of corruption from their highest leaders. They mostly "led until they died" because that allowed only 1-2 years of rule to accomplish great achievements, which basically meant war and conquest, and the consuls were mostly outside of the country fighting wars instead of ruling. This led to civil war, which Caesar won, then led for 10 years, declared himself a forever ruler, and was subsequently assassinated.
This looks like a chatgpt version of history. Caesar was alive for 5 years since the civil war started, nevermind from being declared dictator, so no idea where the 10 years comes from.
Consuls served a one year term with two consuls being elected at the same time for a balance of power. By the time of Caesar, Roman politics we’re essentially broken(corruption and bribery were rampant) and he was able to seize power because of the degradation of the institutions that were meant to keep power from consolidating. Honestly there’s too much history that lead to the rise and fall of Caesar, into the third triumvirate and ultimately leading into the Roman Empire under Augustus to summarize in a paragraph. Go watch History Civilis or something cuz your summary is pretty lackluster.
Just a random thought here. What if a reaper grenade and bounce sieged units out of their siege mode. Units like tanks and lurkers. Just to make reaper more playable late game :)
yeah he seems to be trying a few new things lately but i think hes been getting pretty greedy lately. i still enjoy watching maxpax but i think playing against clem so much has gave him a few bad habits. i thought maxpax was the new sarreal where he focuses on macro and scouting to counter strongly to the enemy.
i think maxpax could use more sentries to pretty much force the enemy to do what he wants by maybe showing the enemy a mass pheonix but only 2 real ones or something similar to make the enemy go all in on a build to combat it.
Well can lose some game once in a while depending of the time of the day your health your general feeling your mood and all that. It is good to see Shin winning MaxPax still I prefer to have that ^^ than a all Maxpax win or all Clem win or all Serral win xD

"Changeling on hold position blocking...", genius, it's the little things 🤣
My two most favorite players these days. MaxPax best protoss micro god and most inovative Zerg player . This is what i live for .
I would argue rogue has been extremely innovative since his return.
Very innovative zerg that plays lurkers + corruptors almost every game.

Shin in game 1:
"PLEASE DIEEEE, I'VE BEEN DESTROYING YOUR BASE AND TROOPS FOR 10 MINUTES NON STOP"
I needed the Lowko diva announcer.
Am a huge serral fan, but recently I've been enjoying shen games a lot more, don't get me wrong serral games are flawless but shen manages to make the games a lot more fun to watch with his changing strats and the occasional adrenal glands upgrades 😂
Shin and Dark for the crazy strategies, Serral for the clean execution
@oshawott4544 exqctly, and we Shouldent forget about rogue as well
@@darkwaleed666 all the zerg players are tons of fun to watch
Yup, it's sad though that zerg doesn't receive much love like terrans
1 minute ago? How wonderful! I wonder where's that spoiler shield guy
he died
this really shows the big buff protoss gets on the test server compared to the current version of the game....see how Maxpax really struggle here but in the test server he demolishes clem and mostly everyone else
14:30 not the Nydussy 😮💨
MaxPax is Max Verstappen’s side-side-side quest (f1->sim racing->minecraft->sc2) confirmed ✌️
I'm not saying it's likely, and I'm not even a follower of f1, but I could see it happen. Occasionally there are people that are just good at things.
I see MaxPax = Like | I'll watch it when I get home from work
Not the Nydussy @14:32 😳
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Excellent content as always. We appreciate it. ❤

Lowko always hitting us with the bangers at the perfect time in the day
loves the way lowko talks about his bloopers, hhhhh
Keep it up, StarCraft 2 is one of my GOAT games and even though I suck at it I love watching it.
I hope the new patch brings great builds and a better balance 🙂
"I don't know what I'm doing." - Lowko
Relatable
Not hitting the record button is so funny. Then saying u sometimes hit it twice which stops it 😂😂😂. I feel your pain man!
Helluva match, that first game I dunno how he held on that long
Last time I was this early Lowko and I were still young.
What a series!
yeahhh! Let's goooo!!!! thanks Lowko!
I know this was posted before the new patch went live today, but I think that the new patch is the PTR patch, every time Lowko says it's the live version of the game.😅
great game! great series!
the DVA announcer is the best one in thr game, it forces you to try and win quickly to stop hearing it
I think we need a Lowko DVA announcer
The platinum players have become quite strong
Is there a reason for the destructible terrain at the bottom of the starting base's ramp?
Well done.
If Shin keeps this up he might overtake Dark as my new favorite zerg player.
Solution, always record and you never have to worry about that button again
14:36 Nydussies 😳 🤭
Minute 24 MaxPax lost the first game but stayed in for another 5 minutes.
dude when did this patch go live? i went to do shield overcharge and was unpleasantly surprised?!?!?!
back when EWC was happening I ran into shin on the ladder and thought he was just some 5k zerg but then I checked his sc2 pulse
That last game was painful. Why did max rush skytoss when he knew shin already had a spire? That game was very playable before that poor decision. Also shin has really improved the last few months, I used to hate watching his matches but lately they’ve been solid.
'et tu zergling?'
-MaxPax
Shin went beast mode 🔥
Out of context question! What happens if u nuke troops in stasis? do they die?
where do you find theese replays to commentate??
AFAIK Simon mostly just asks for them himself wherever he can, so asking players directly or tournament organisers.
Waiting for more balance patch games. Zerg has been too OP
Nidussy is craaaaaaazy
So when are we gonna do uThermal vs Clem BO9? YES?
Epic fights from both sides.
But that kinda prooves the point doesn't it? Actually I think Zergs are not overtuned at this stage. But Skytoss in particular is severely underpowered. Toss ground is mostly fine, but casters are a bit trash (least burst by far out of all races). Toss is the only race without 1shot capability (snipe/abduct).
I'll pay for a loko announcer.. even more for pro level announcements "Terrible Terrible damage"
I feel like lurkers are too strong compared to their collusus counterpart, they don’t have a clear weakness and dominate all ground v ground
"Zerg never pull out" - how did you think they spawn so fast?

Sir this is a Wendy’s
MaxPax also max out the pax.
i really wanna see the same fight on the new balance patch
maxpax will win 100% sure
So, lurkers seem way too strong.
Just a random thought here.
What if a reaper grenade and bounce sieged units out of their siege mode. Units like tanks and lurkers. Just to make reaper more playable late game :)
that would be absurd, basically a phoenix lift on a 50/50 cost unit
yeah he seems to be trying a few new things lately but i think hes been getting pretty greedy lately. i still enjoy watching maxpax but i think playing against clem so much has gave him a few bad habits. i thought maxpax was the new sarreal where he focuses on macro and scouting to counter strongly to the enemy.
really like how hes been using the oracles lately tho with the new energy patch
i think maxpax could use more sentries to pretty much force the enemy to do what he wants by maybe showing the enemy a mass pheonix but only 2 real ones or something similar to make the enemy go all in on a build to combat it.
10:44 trump diva? XD
Dope Max beat 1835 heh
it seems maxpax has mastererd PvT but not so much PvZ
Well can lose some game once in a while depending of the time of the day your health your general feeling your mood and all that.
It is good to see Shin winning MaxPax still
I prefer to have that ^^ than a all Maxpax win or all Clem win or all Serral win xD
Yessir🎉🎉🎉
MaxPax is the Protoss child prodigy of the Legend WhiteRa. Now he needs to start implementing the special tactics. 😅
Maxpax 'uman?!?!
lurkers..
Spoiler shield 🛡️
Tempest suck. For every zerg they kill, 10 more are produced. Protoss always loses with tempest 99% of the time.
Total un balance game
First. Nerds.
dang i only got 5th
nydussys
Anyways
First!
😶🌫️
Zerg is so cheap lmfao
No "Helloooo my name is Loooowkoooo" means no like next time ! Come on, give yourself more effort
Please never say nidussy again.
