You should have a Lowko Award for actual Game of the Year a GOTY award where we vote on the top 10 videos in the GOTY playlist. That’d be fun. A Lowko GOTY Award!
This would be really fun!
Great idea!
Top 10 GAMES, or top 10 SERIES?
I'd like to see the top 10 games in general, doesn't have to showcase the series if it was in one
@@rearnakedguy1501 I had not considered that! That makes it even harder.
It needs some stupidly long comical title to it to differentiate it from the other 52 game of the years, series of the year would be good too
Around 2-5 “game of the year”s would be ideal.
what is lowkos GOTYPM
I’ve heard a game mechanic proposed that would change Terran gameplay. Floating structures can only float for so long before their engines overheat. Then they would start taking damage. This would end the base trade advantage they have.
While i agree that it would end the possibility of terran forcing draws, and thus, a good idea, saying that terran have an advantage on base trades or races is simply false.
Most important ability in those scenarios is mobility, and both zerg and protoss have more. By a long shot.
Also, terran have the most expensive infrastructure while and the worst defenses. Their only saving grace is the chance of protecting their buildings that way.
@@polca4love you had me agreeing until you said Terrans have the worst base defenses. What?!
@@jonsolo32 Keep in mind that i'm not saying that terran is underpowered with this, just that this is part of their balance.
Their turrets don't shoot down like protoss photons nor can reposition like the zerg's.
Bunkers need manning to actually do something, so either you left marines behind that you will need in other places; or simply use the detection tower which do a little more for terran lack of mobility.
Planetary fortresses take a long time to make, are expensive and until the baneling nerf they did little to stop those. They are still not viable 'til mid game, since terran need mules in early to keep up. They still need an army to defend any slightly serious attempt to destroy it, and then terran slowness comes into play.
I don't count units like siege tanks as "defenses". By that reasoning similar units should be counted.
this man said “terran base defense is the worst” and “i don’t count siege tanks” in the same breathe LMAOOO
get outta here you clown
@@polca4loveterran turrets may not be able to shoot down but they have 39 dps compared to 24 spore and 22 cannon which is kinda insane
Pfs are insanely strong and idk why you mentioned baneling nerf(to explode pf it takes 1k 500 vs 550 150). Terran bio is super fast too
Bunkers are thousand times stronger your giving credit for and sensor towers are amazing
Even without them their units are insane at defensive positions and have stuff like range and building armor. Terran only weakness in base trades is the fact zerg is higher dps and toss has recall.
1:06:00 this last game is beautiful the way he overwhelms his opponent in 10 different ways - pure psychological destruction
I imagine protoss BM would be mass recall probes to the enemy main base.
You can even start a late game cannon "rush" if you are feeling particularly evil that day.
Constructing additional pylons all over the base. ;D
That last game was so beautifully played by Dark. You could just tell that Maru just wasn't able to keep up with alll the agression any more at some point.
A wall off would have certainly helped to be fair, though then again, fully upgraded lings really enjoy munching on depots and the like as you could see from this.
The last 5 minutes of that last game were bananas.
Dark has found the even more aggressive dawg inside him cause of his child. Fatherly strength
i love this community. after 3 months i can still read the comments and not have the match spoiled.
An end of year look at "did this deserve the title of GOTY?" would be cool/funny
please make the game of the year tier list. I can throw SC2 GOTY party.
“Get off my lawn biles…” never change Lowko 😂
Between the cost efficiency of Terran and the mules mining roughly 220 minerals over their life-span, the mules make up for about a 10 worker deficit on 3-base. It takes 3 mules to justify building an orbital. If the Terran has a greater than 10 worker deficit on equal tech, they're usually behind. At a 15 worker deficit they're in trouble. The math changes as the game progresses. At 7-8 orbitals the Terran can be, and usually is, down 20 workers due to how easy it is to run by a Terran late-game.
At 12 or so orbitals in the super late-game, the Terran is usually unbeatable. They can mine out the last base or two at such speed that the zerg doesn't have time to do meaningful damage. This rarely happens, however, due to Terran's low mobility in the late-game versus Zerg's speed on creep. Anything beyond 5 bases is nearly impossible for the Terran to hold.
that last one was pretty awesome.
That last game was pure chaos!
Whenever I get to see Muta is always a good day
I could not imagine watching another caster than Lowko. U the only one where I feel my personal sympathy matched with. I such like to hear u talk to the Games
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite comment to make for the algorithm. Awesome games and casting as usual.
Herding dogs come as headers and heelers. One drives livestock and one directs them. Reapers are both.
Was a great watch, thanks for uploading
I would actually love to see a tournament that undoes every nerf ever done in SC2 so all units for all races are at their most overpowered form. I wonder how today's pros, with their immensely higher skill level than back in the day, would play in such setting.
That was an insane sell by Maru
If you really want to know which maps are better for which race than rather than looking at overall ein percentages you should look at just the top guys: Serral, Clem and Hero/Maxpax and look at their win rates for each matchup in each map. This will tell you which map truly is the best for which race in each matchup.
We saw that reaper's soul leave his body😂
i like the little Self Burn at the start Lowko :P
The Terran mid-air production mechanic exists in coop actually with the commander Han and Horner. They make reapers out of a flying attack barracks (called a galleon)
They build half their army out of the Galleons, which on top of the Reapers are Hellions, Hellbats and Widow Mines.
It also exists as the Warp Prism. Nothing like being able to dump your base's production on the enemy's door for 250 minerals.
They are EMBARRACKSED Lowko, it was right there 😭
He went to Reaper Heaven. It's unusual because that unit belongs in Hell.
for map pool my take is it should be finals matches +4 maps, 2 for banning, and 2 to make sure there's a bit of spice even toward the end
“That man clickbaits every video” projecting !
No hard feelings on the click bait nails. I come for the gameplay and stay for the commentary 😉
For us relatively experienced SC2 watchers, we can tell how much of a banger a match will be simply based on who is playing. :P
Edit: Mirror matches are good too, imo. My favs are ZvZ and TvT. Some good PvP matches would be like Maxpax vs Showtime or Parting, or even Astrea recently has looked nutty. Any of those 4 toss players in a mirror would be sick.
Will you do IEM finals commentary?
Is it just me or did the variety of builds and pace at which they vary increase a lot since the "new" balance team is in charge?
That single fungal growth in game 7 won Dark the game. That spell is ridiculous. Dark set it up perfectly though.
In a protoss game with BM where you have map control, make every pylon on the opponent's 5th base spelling out GG
Maybe there should be a Bane Hive upgrade wich reintroduces the hp buff
You know when cyclones are before marines, they will target the banelings first. So the mix should be hell bats in the front, marine in the middle and cyclones at last.
i never thought in my life i'd see a pro player snipe zerglings
banelings? sure, but zerglings? the meta has truly advanced and so is the speed of pro players
1:12:59 I had a much Dark-er thought about that. Of which I'm unsure if Lowko took into account or not.
Can't blame Winter for wanting viewers on his channel, I don't see it as clickbait, and His titles are normally really good. Every caster does multiple game of the year titles.
Yes long video, perfekt painting my warhammer figures and watching
Just make it "The monthly game of the year"
Dark vs Rogue will be amazing
Rogue is back?
The key is to add the question mark. Game of the year? Then youre good.
Last game was really good haha cheeky overload drop ftw
we can have game of the year of the week
Feels like everytime we complain about late game Zerg or that they have been nerfed I find myself always seeing the Zerg win
Maybe you should make a candidates of Game of the Month and, on december, we vote for the Game of the Year. You can analize with a groups of experts LIVE at LowkoTV twitch channel, get a pick from some pro players to add and we finally can decide wich is "Viewers Choise Game of the Year of SCII"
Even if you have no title I will check your videos 🎉
Pretty sure a "reverse shepard" is just a wolf
pretty sure reverse-shepherds would be wolves
playlist GOTY for each map set cycle.
I wonder if a hive baneling upgrade would keep things reasonable while letting zerg not feel so restrained in the late game. Maybe a +2/3 dmg to light units and structures?? Honestly i enjoy watching sc2 and have done so for probably 5 yrs but i never played competitively its just too overwhelming for me so i don't have a good perspective other than how i see pros play to speak on how they feel lacking. That being said theres definitely something necessary to bump them at least in the later stages i feel
I love seeing nasty Zerg dying 😂😂😂
I listen to starcraft 2 0ST at work all the time
31:10 😆oooOOOeee big boi fungals!!!
37:34 the scv should just mass repair the liberator and tank afterthat
love the Z V anything games...
You should watch the accountant haha, it’s a actually a good movie
Bro their games look at Min 7 like mine never ever did, like wtf are they doing simultaneously
A meeting between Serral and Dark:
S: Your builds suck man.
D: Why so serious?
Game of the decade !!!😅
Why is Dark afraid to play late game with Maru? Because it's Maru. Best Terran when it comes to late game, making a comeback, and playing behind in supply.
I wanna see 3rack terratrooper now lol
1:03 "I heard from Winter that this is his favourite series that he has seeing in a long time". Checks the end of the game: zerg won. Whatever winter likes oughta be bad for terran.
Nobody's talking about it, but Lowko you forgot to cut out the part between games 4 and 5 starting at 38:13.
My immersion is ruined lol.
Lowko always casts replays that involve Zerg more than PVP PVT TVT
Well those matchup's suck most of the time.
PvP: Throw the dice!
PvT: Throw the dice!
TvT: Slow Game of chess.
TvZ: Most dynamic and action packed matchup.
@@shadowpriest2574 yeah which sucks bad as they only show zerg
yeah, 11 maps is too much, imo.
I wonder that if in a few years, there will be Bo9 series in the finals of IEM Katowice.....although, it might make it too long, idk, just thinking out loud...
1:21:22 Plus three barley gets shut down!
Final game is an absurd!
"Reverse Shepards"
Wolves....
ling and baneling it good against everything but air units terrain puts out.
i myself don´t play the game, still watching your commentaries. i´m just curious, is there a reason why it at least feels like 90% of your videos are zerg vs terran and no protos in sight? are they just weaker and not played as often? are the games not interesting to watch/comment?
Please, do a tier list GOTY!
Why no pictures of players?
I've never seen Maru lose so often.. do so poorly. Guess it's Clem's time to shine. MaxPax too, maybe. I wonder how PartinG will do once he reacclimates.
Best games ever.
Is there a game where Zerg wins on the map where Zerg has the insane win rate on?
odst troopers that drop in like on halo.
Just name those "game o' the year so far" and make a Top 5 list on Jan 1st(-ish)
I don't blame Dark for avoiding late game why on earth would you want to right now
game 7 is a mess, mary was sleepy after 6 games straight :0
You said 43% win rate in favor of the Terran and then said it’s better for the Zerg lol
Thumbnail arrows are big click bait.
zergling rush for the win too easy for zerg
It's Katowice, not Katowize or Katowitze
Im trying to watch this on tv but man you have like 2 ads per game... its unbearable. I really like your casting but this is insane, no other youtuber i watch does this
😶🌫️
U clickbait loads bruh
Pretend I said something funny😂😂😂😂😂
the fungals are trash. they have shit range. shit splash and no longer roots or lasts very long....add to the fact the infestors lost infested terrans. like at that point get rid of the unit and make a new unit that isnt trash.
That infestor ambush really took the wind out of Maru's sails. Feels like he mentally gave up when that happened.
That or it gave Dark the confidence to go Full Dark Mode.
That was really tough luck, too. His scan barely missed the two infestors.
My head canon for why Terran structures can’t produce while flying is that while in game they seem to move very smoothly, in reality those big rocket engine cause a lot of shaking and such, meaning that everything inside has to locked down and most activities are not able to performed safely.
I approve of a tier list of games of the year
As a lover of Terran mech, I enjoyed that Equilibrium game. Banshee Cyclone is my current favorite Terran comp. Maybe some Vikings as well. Landed Vikings remind me of Goliaths and I love those bois.
That last game from Dark regardless of win or loss was an awesome way to play, nice to see something a little different!!
Right on time !!! Not even 1 minutes that this video is uploaded !!!
THIS YEARS GOTY GOES TOOOOOOOO 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'd love to see it because he would have so many jokes and funny commentary for every single match in the list.
Lowko doesn't see accountants jumping out of buildings... Lets hope another stock market crash like the early 1900's doesn't happen.
2-5 maps would be best. That way you wouldn't die to flying units
