I know one thing that will happen with the new Energy Overcharge ability... Scarlett will be using Neural Parasite on Probes a lot more to build a Nexus of her own to overchage Queens, Infestors and Vipers!
My concern with removing the shield battery overcharge and replacing it with an energy boost it is that it is now counter-able by ghosts. all the shield batteries can be EMPed and whatever unit gets the boost can also be EMPed. One weird bonus of the shield battery overcharge is that it will heal even if it is EMPed.
correct the new ability dosent cover that. its stupid how because of the ghost useful granede they decide to change other's races play style. which is stupid because you cant just change the way a race is played because you are too much of a coward to say goodbye to one useful ability of the ghost given the fact that he has 2 useful abilities
At 5:50 MaxPax makes the closest two adepts (to the mineral line) shoot while the two adepts in the back can't reach the drones so their shots don't go off, he steps a bit forward, this time the adepts in the back shoot and kill another drone while the first ones can't shoot, and just keeps on switching them. That's very subtle, but insane micro that doubled the amount of damage he was going to get since he was forced to commit. The kid is just CRAZY good.
@@jbaris Yes, they were all 4 always selected, but they are not all 4 targeting the same drones. The genius of the micro he did is that he did it in the way that would be easiest for him. It's only "standard stutter step" in that he did the same thing everybody does except twice as effective.
"I'm trying" I assume the context being he is trying to get Maxpax to play in offline tournament and its not going well. As far as I can tell Maxpax is the human equivalent of a super shy cat and refuses to engage with people and will need to be dragged out hissing and clawing to meet the world. lol
Dude, I've been saying for a while now, for the betterment of his own casting, to PLEASE stop saying anyways so much! Either that, or own it and market it as you say. I used to count the amount of anyways in each video. Needless to say, I didn't have enough time to maintain that.
11:10 Toss using 5 different units types vs Zerg who has 3 In both the first and last game Maxpax is just using every ability of the toss army to its full potential, while Shin isn't doing the same for Zerg, when they started to in the 3rd game he was getting somewhere but it was late. Thats the difference I see
It was Ground Weapons +2 Vs Melee Attacks +2. The Protoss upgrade covers all possible ground units, allowing that kind of flexibility. The Zerg upgrade covers only Lings, Banelings and Ultralisks. Shin was trying to tech to Lurkers and possibly Ultras later.
yes!! got my popcorn! I thought this was going to be a HerO game, lol thanks Lowko! I love you, and MaxPax! I heard that MaxPax is trying to get his nerves down. From what I heard, he doesn't like crowds or something like that? I heard it from this channel mind you--the comments sections anyway. One can hope.
I wouldn't be too surprised if MaxPax had some sort of performance issues playing in offline tournaments. He's used to playing in his comfort zone. I have no idea if that could be related to publicity or just some sort of deeper fear or none of that, but I get it nonetheless. Just imagine getting crushed at an office tournament, you'd kinda feel your own mortality at that point and it could have a long lasting effect on you. Not even mentioning the immediate effect on your stats. And knowing that you're that kind of person would 100% contribute to losing there in the first place. It's the kind of negative feedback loop of basically fearing your own fear. I've personally experienced that even on banalities not even remotely related to my career. I'm really hoping it's something else for MaxiPax because that shit happens to you once and then it's really difficult to overcome after.
Lowko, in the notes, they say Energy Overcharge will have a maximum range of _eight._ No, we won't get to use extra Oracle harass and no, we won't get to use warp-prism > warp in > instant psi storm drops. It's purely defensive.
I'm worried about the balance patch pushing protoss back into being obligate cheesers: the shield battery health buff makes them better with cannon rushes, and the nexus battery-overcharge nerf is irrelevant, so cheesing just gets a straight buff
@27:30 would've been better to go for the actual probes instead of the photoncanon (or shieldbatterie, cant tell).. mutas always have this small window of actual working, so there's no reason to go for the long run and kill a building, right? plus: i think he should've gone for 2-3 vipers way earlier with all those hydras. you can see that shin just isnt on the same level as dark, serral, reynor and the bunch, but he's getting better
I recently learned about the History of the, "Scold bridle". Don't scold Bridle me should be common slang, to remind us of when freedom of expression was so pertinently destroyed for hte pettiness of a cruel crowd. - freedom expression
Nobody is obligated to know the names of the maps. Qualifying descriptors are the way to go anyway. That first map of this Best of Five was "Vertically Mirrored Blue Map with the Minerals and Rocks on the Ramp outside the Natural."
From what I hear, Max has anxiety so the money at the world cup wouldn't have mattered much considering the scope of the event. I hope he can come out to an offline event sometime though, he's the type of guy that could singlehandedly save SC2
i remember how people always said that protoss players are so bad at playing the game, yet somehow they still make one of the greatest wins in this disasterous patch
As someone who hasnt played for 10+ years: why would Max place a warpgate close to zerg instead of just a pylon when you can warp in? loving the casts btw!
Lokwo 😂😂😂 j'ai caster qu'une centaine de partie sur cette cartes ! J'ai du jouer des centaines de parties ! Mals tout le monde sais qu'ils faut minimum 1 000 0000 de game pour se souvenir du nom de cette cartes 😂😂😂😂😂
its sad Lowko getting old, neural links is getting worse, he is starting to forget map names( Then he was forgetting upgrade names - it was first bell. Then he will forgot Brenda - that will be end line. *sob*
8:07 this is not actual correct you only die to charge. if you see adepts you just mass ling into bane and toss can't push you wait till hydra and then you push.
i think its possibel to get an zealot all in against zerg, i treid it 2014 an rulled all zergs, with this bonus energy it should be possible in 2024. and after i did in the lader 2014 , pro player did it to, thats why they nerfed it, im pretty sure, play zeo hardcore with the energy.
If player plays only online, I wonder if it would be possible one day for AI pretend to be human and having lower APM to mimic human but actually play better because better micro. We would not know that it is AI.
MotherShip still look more like MotherDisappointment i feel like they should find way to make it something like it was befor a Monster mini boss or... they should deleted it from pvp becuse you look at it name you look at it size ... even after changes and you look how it die becuse few enemy... rly units should be balance but alos should do how they look... it kinda like having zerginl that can attack flying units... it just not look like that unit should work that way... and they have literaly model that could do what mothership do now... yep im talking abaut mothership core, zerg have Leviatan but is not in game, terran have battlecrusiers but biger and stronger and they alos not in game so why not make MotherShipCore and MS left fro moders ?
Wardi has great games to cast but man he is such a boring caster, literally no insight into the game, just a monotonous dulldrum of obvious observations....no offenese...Lowkow and Pig are the best honestly
Protoss played that much better. Honestly Zerg had terrible decision making and terrible micro. There just isn't anything good I can say about the Zerg's play there. He saw max pax building both a pylon AND a gateway right outside his base, and didn't bother to reinforce. Maybe make a spine crawler or two? He knows Protoss is committing to the attack if he's building a gateway. Might help to have a couple static defense buildings that outrange the blink stalkers, instead he opts to rely on queens and roaches, two units that have much lower range than stalkers. And he got himself into a bad spot like that in the first place because he got owned by a single void ray.
@@tommyk1417 I'm sure he did after the game. But you get in the middle of the action, adrenaline is high and you're not always thinking like a rational observer.

Sometimes it's hard in the moment to just find a second or two to take a breath and analyze the situation.
For people who are bad at multitasking, Protoss IS OP. You have to control less army at lower speeds. Might be a different story for GM, but for us mortal folks Toss just means turtling behind your cannons while getting as many carriers as you can, and then destroying the opponent.
Maxpax has never won a major tournament, hes not even in the told 10 high earning players, he dose not make Protoss look OP what so ever. If anything he makes them like weak as shit because hes such a good player yet makes so little money compared to Clem.
Maxpax probably has this last 2 years the highest wining percentage against top players in the game. And he definitively has the best one as protoss by far

I like Lowko’s casts because it always sounds like he’s casting with a smile on his face
My experience with Dutch people in general tbh
I bet he does, lowko truly loves what he does
I just love how he's just an amusing caster with a great sense of humor. Even his questionable puns.
I read this as living Lowkos cats and I feel it still works
He does. You can catch his casts live on Twitch from time to time.

“Trying” huh? Sounds like a team of engineers are working hard to create his body now
MaxPax is Amon, confirmed?

The council of Terran tards seem to like buffing PvP while nerfing other match-ups, because that's exactly what Toss needs /s
It's absurd how they didn't bother to do any changes with the ghost
So, it's a sly ghost buff. Genius. Evil genius, but genius.

He didn't do that. he just stutter stepped them into the mineral line - all 4 were always selected and was a standard stutter step
@@jbaris Yes, they were all 4 always selected, but they are not all 4 targeting the same drones.
The genius of the micro he did is that he did it in the way that would be easiest for him.
It's only "standard stutter step" in that he did the same thing everybody does except twice as effective.
Correct and you can tell it was intentional because of the speed of the stutterstep. He'd be cancelling the animation and/or overkilling otherwise.
"I'm trying" I assume the context being he is trying to get Maxpax to play in offline tournament and its not going well. As far as I can tell Maxpax is the human equivalent of a super shy cat and refuses to engage with people and will need to be dragged out hissing and clawing to meet the world. lol
"oh no! MaxPax is walking into a surround!" he takes almost no damage. Crazy micro!
"lost only 5 stalkers so far"
"The Serral's of the world" implying there's more than one of them
Serrals reproduce by mitosis
Serral Clem and Maxpax share a hivemind and pull scripted fight when they fight each other.
You're still subscribed to the One-Serral theory huh? Wake up sheeple.
A drone becoming a spore would have the time of its life shooting down banshees, medivacs, oracles and pheonixes and getting back at them.
what if it just dies to ground units and never gets to shoot D:
@@Timic83tc Wouldn't change much from being a drone then.
Banlance council: What! A protoss won? They're clearly too strong, raise probe cost to 75 minerals, and reduce their build time by 2 seconds
im mainly a zerg fan, but i think the most interesting "thing" in sc2 is a good Protoss ground army!....just sooo fancy!
Lowko, if you made a shirt that just said “anyways” on it, I’d buy it.
or a "triple M-Shirt => marines, marauders, "MellBats" :)
or "not optimal"
Dude, I've been saying for a while now, for the betterment of his own casting, to PLEASE stop saying anyways so much! Either that, or own it and market it as you say. I used to count the amount of anyways in each video. Needless to say, I didn't have enough time to maintain that.
I want a shirt labeled "dis muddership is signifikant" 😄
No, seriously, I always enjoy your casts, just a casual viewer roast. 🫶🏼
He doesn't have that, but he does have merch
nice, pls cast more of MaxPax games, the way you cast and the way he plays it's the best synergy i can find in SC2 :D

One can hope.
The day that MaxPax plays an offline tournament will be a tournament to be remembered.
6:45
But Queens are more expensiv, so the queenmarch will be later than usual. or with a queen less
Amazing video, MaxPax is great! Thank you Lowko! :D

@lowkotv giving us the "professional streamer" intro we all want :D
Do you think it hurts to become a structure 😂😂. Made me laugh. Lowko loves this ❤
When i saw the thumbnail i knew it would be MaxPax.. who else could it be?
SHIN, man he's been on a tear lately. Excited to watch!
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Protoss overpowered? Am I living in a dream? ❤
No only when maxpax plays it
MaxPax outclassed Shin, that's it.
@@kozatas Exactly. Shin made so many mistakes that game. I mean dude got owned by a single void ray in game 2.
Good thing they're taking care of Protoss with the new balance patch.
Yeah.. they got 10 plus HP over sentry or something
They are still going with the Disruptor nerf.

In Maximus Paximus we trust 💪
He always sounds enthusiastic too
0:51"... this guy has been destroying protoss" = any 'balance" council member nowadays.
MaxPax micros stalkers like an AI.
I'm worried about the balance patch pushing protoss back into being obligate cheesers: the shield battery health buff makes them better with cannon rushes, and the nexus battery-overcharge nerf is irrelevant, so cheesing just gets a straight buff
great games! great series!
we need to see maxpax vs serral in a pvp battle (toss vs toss)
MaxPax the Denisher!
what a joke "OVERPOWERRED" protoss

Do you think it hurts to become a structure? It depends, are you a drone or a wisp.
we need a clip of Lowko using bad lanuage
Does the Netherlands have wilderness left? Can you camp anywhere there?
You should check out Beyond All Reason. I think it almost tops SC2
damn imagine if Shin researched Adrenal he'd probably win
I'm also Max pax fan by the way
5:16 I know it took restraint
MaxPax is so good!

played with 1 oracal vs 2 oracel and lost every time, i build workers
if u have 3 sentrys holding 3 ways
stalker op confirmed
Yoooo lowko!!!
just one infestor before toss gets to hts and it's stonkers not blinkin anymore... eh
As someone who hasnt played for 10+ years: why would Max place a warpgate close to zerg instead of just a pylon when you can warp in? loving the casts btw!
Faster warp ins when the gateway is placed in the pylon field. Slower warp ins with just the pylon.
