I've already learned something cool early on in the vid. At 5:10, Solar pulls his drones back to his natural knowing that he's going to lose his third. Because of that, he was still in an economic lead even after he lost his third base. Pretty cool decision making there.
Looking forward to this weeks game of the year! For real though, I feel like the frequency of absolutely stellar games went up even further lately, and its not stopping
Lowko your replays are always top Notch but lately you gave us some gems... So excited to see this one. Also thanks for you stray gameplay. It was very fun and it kept me company during my bronchitis sick leave
Btw, good work on the casting and observing. You're really good at hyping up an already exciting engagement... all while you're on a time crunch! I'd fall apart if I knew I had to do anything within an hour.
That was fun, i'm surprised dark is getting outplayed soo much, I know you mentioned him looking a bit worse recently, not to take away anything from solar.... Expected this to go another way.
34:23 - can anyone tell me how it is that on the Data-C map, which is supposed to be underwater, everything goes up after death, but the blood from Overlord falls down? 🤔
I was thinking the same thing. I don't thing the lurkers were burrowed, in the mini map they are moving while being attacked it appears. It's hard to tell, he may have been microing them, but losing those lurkers was the thing that lost the game. I think Dark just got him off kilter with all the run byes. Another thing - Lowko missed Dark running two lurkers right into Solar's mineral lines at the mid and right base right before that. It was a perfect storm of an attack, and it got Solar to lose a game I think he had in hand. Amazing win from Dark winning while behind basically all game.
24:33 Top Level Starcraft is mimicking my love life, because I too am scratching my head, wondering where it went wrong..... (this isn't true but it was too good not to say). Solar from Game 1: I see you, I feel you, I am you, (except when it comes to Top Level Starcraft ;) ^_^
I use to play free flow in brood war. Once you get good enough. Your macro gets into a perfect flow. I remember I could start a zergling rush & continue the entire game constantly harassing & attacking the enemy until eventually I'm practically Sauron zerg if it gets to that level. Once you know the rules you learn how to expertly break them.
Ear surgeries struck home. And gave me flashbacks. Ot sure what they did to your ears, but they sliced my eardrum open and stuck in a tube. For roughly a year I had a tube in each ear and it was godawful. I am back to getting ear infections on a regular basis and my hearing is shit. But still better than those tubes.
Aw man, can't believe Zerg won this one.
I know right zerg can’t win shit you ether play skytoss or just lose
Spoilers xD
@@randomshouse266 zerg vs zerg. obviously zerg will win.
@@joshuafarrell879 was obviously being sarcastic my friend.
dont spoil man
22:20 Where you said he commits Sudoku had me dying a bit. Lovely cast as always!
Don't click that link please.
Cant wait for next best of the year
Couple days probably
@@LowkoTV tomorrow at the latest
Hot dang, that was no cap maybe the best Zerg vs. Zerg series I've ever seen.
Really entertaining. Was cheering for both players.

It's surprisingly hard to remember doing stuff like this when you're being attacked
Serral do the same but on top of it, he's macroing a new hatch at the opposite side xD

What an insane series! Best of 5 of the year for sure!This was amazing, and your casting makes it even better! Thanks Lowko!!
This series was AMAZING! Definitely one of my favorite ZvZ’s. Thanks for the cast.
39:32 that "YAAAAS QUEEN" caught me off guard LOL
Lowko your replays are always top Notch but lately you gave us some gems... So excited to see this one. Also thanks for you stray gameplay. It was very fun and it kept me company during my bronchitis sick leave
Hope you’re feeling better soon!
Commit sudoku.😂😂😂 What a banger of a series!
That was amazing to watch. Also, there's something satisfying about the way LowKo says "data C"
Insane games! Always love seeing ultras and their danger hugs come out in pro games.
that first hell-fail of a split against the para bomb from solar war soooooo brutal to watch :/
Awesome series and awesome casting
Oh man, this was a sick series! Can't remember last time I was this entertained by a ZvZ. Great cast as always lowko
Best series ever!!!
22:28 commit sudoku in the hatcherie? XD!!! - I'm sure you wanted to say hara-kiri xD
Incredible. The high level mirror match is always intense but I can't think of a better ZvZ. Thanks Lowko.
22:20 approx:
"He decides to commit suduko"
**Lowko, observing a suicide, 2022**
This series was absolutely nuts.
I love games where they tech up but then beat eachother down so hard they have to tech back down.
52:04 the upgrade for melee
i liked the "he commits sudoku on his own hatchery" @ 22.20 xD
This is why Dark is my fav zerg pro player, The Primal Zerg. Unorthodox strategy, wild and unpredictable. Instinct over Thinking
Yet lost to solar
Btw, good work on the casting and observing. You're really good at hyping up an already exciting engagement... all while you're on a time crunch! I'd fall apart if I knew I had to do anything within an hour.
I don't really like mirror matches, but man this thing is on another level. As always your casts are the greatest Lowko :D
Commit Sudoku. The ancient Japanese act of sudoku.
I loved to see ultras going "ORA ORA ORA ORA!!". Sick match! Thanks for the video!
You mention the upgrades for lurkers increase range and burrow speed, but it also increases movement speed in general.
I can't really explain this, but the ultra vs ultra game feels like a Dr Seuss book.
Well, I'm glad I paused yesterday night and continued today cause this is a fantastic series. Great strategies.
Next title idea for when solar and dark face off again: The Battle of Light & Shadow
22:20 Commits "SUDOKU" (Seppuku)!!! 😂😂😂😂
Solar commited the ritual sudoku
22:20 commits sudoku 😂
The greedy becomes the what? Epic series epicly casted!
That was fun, i'm surprised dark is getting outplayed soo much, I know you mentioned him looking a bit worse recently, not to take away anything from solar.... Expected this to go another way.
"Commits Sudoku on his own hatchery" - Lowko (@22:20)
:3
34:23 - can anyone tell me how it is that on the Data-C map, which is supposed to be underwater, everything goes up after death, but the blood from Overlord falls down? 🤔
we need a comprehensive "lowko's 'of the year'" of the year!
Had to rewind and figure out how Solar lost 22:45 minimap shows the critical moment where Solar's 8 lurkers got overwhelmed and killed.
I was thinking the same thing. I don't thing the lurkers were burrowed, in the mini map they are moving while being attacked it appears. It's hard to tell, he may have been microing them, but losing those lurkers was the thing that lost the game. I think Dark just got him off kilter with all the run byes. Another thing - Lowko missed Dark running two lurkers right into Solar's mineral lines at the mid and right base right before that. It was a perfect storm of an attack, and it got Solar to lose a game I think he had in hand. Amazing win from Dark winning while behind basically all game.
22:20 Yeah I also commit Sudoku every once in a while as well. Gotta keep the numbers in place you know
Mirror Match, Best of 5, and Lowko casting. EZ best watch and like
Holy… 1 hour vid??? Hold on, I need more popcorn & tea
Hour long lowko casts are top tier cozy
Ultralisk on ultralisk action. Puts tears to my eyes.
55:17 magical moment.
This was a fantastic game! Thanks Lowko
22:21 --> Commits SUDOKU on his own hatchery. =D
(Seppuku was the word he was looking for i guess)
what a good zerg vs zerg!!
What a reverse sweep! That last game was massive from Solar
Woah it's time for another amazing best game of the year
24:33 Top Level Starcraft is mimicking my love life, because I too am scratching my head, wondering where it went wrong..... (this isn't true but it was too good not to say). Solar from Game 1: I see you, I feel you, I am you, (except when it comes to Top Level Starcraft ;) ^_^
ZvZ can't get much more interesting than this!
I didnt even know you could burrow ultras!
Commit sudoku. Love it 🤣
Around 22min30
"He commit Sudoku on is hatchery"
🤣
Sheesh, this is definitely the best ZvZ series of the year, but any one of the games could be candidates for ZvZ game of the year.
"commits sudoku"
My favourite thing to watch over dinner. Thank you ahh
Loko 22:20 maybe the word that you were looking for is sepuku
I love your content lowko
Thanks for watching!
22:18 "Commits Sudoku" (when in need, do maths!)
"commit sudoku on his own hatchery" 😆
It'd be cool if you actually did try a challenge cast using only the production and unit tabs.
Hey Lowko! Congratulation with 500k!
22:20 that was a funny mistake. He said ‘commit sudoku’ when I think he Lowko meant to say ‘sepuku’. Death by number game haha
*sees the duration of the cast*
oh boy, this'll be good
I use to play free flow in brood war. Once you get good enough. Your macro gets into a perfect flow. I remember I could start a zergling rush & continue the entire game constantly harassing & attacking the enemy until eventually I'm practically Sauron zerg if it gets to that level.

Solar's engagement positioning in those 1st two games had me scratching my head.
Hats off to you sir.
Is Lowko Tv start rick rolling? "You know the rules and so do I " Lowko you legend I love your sc2 content
39:30 yaaas queeen xD
Great, that was a nice ZvZ!
Oh wow, another game of the year.
Favorite part of the cast, "Brenda, Yasss Queen"
Best ZvZ of the MILLENIUM no doubt
Bro I can’t believe that the Protoss won this match.
Love watching your casts
Dark and Solar, is this a Black Sun reference?
@22:15 commits sudoku 🤣
Lowko you’re the 🐐
2nd game - what use is having the evo done 25s faster when you eventually start the same upgrade 10s later lol
40:02 alrigh bois! to the party and grab ur dance partner ~
did they rework banelings?
Indeed what a banger of a game
Another interesting Zork vs Zurich game, according to Google.
"commits sudoku on his own hatch" Lowko do you know what you just said
Inside and Out is my favorite map of all time, aesthetically. What are ya’lls picks?
oh lol. I forgot there was a giveaway. Forward to the next person please! I don’t need it
Agreed, maybe the best ZvZ of the decade!
Fansastic series. Wow.
Great game!
Commits sudokku on his own hatchery :D lol
RIP Rogue got caught in the FOMO trap that is maplestory.
Commit sudoku? Is het niet Seppuku of Harakiri?
Mooie cast weer :)
Wat bedoel je met message up? Ik mis het even. Als oude gamer ben ik bij dat ik nog naar casts kijk
Mad game! 👍
“Commits sudoku on his own base”
Ear surgeries struck home. And gave me flashbacks. Ot sure what they did to your ears, but they sliced my eardrum open and stuck in a tube.
For roughly a year I had a tube in each ear and it was godawful. I am back to getting ear infections on a regular basis and my hearing is shit. But still better than those tubes.
Can't believe I play the same race as these two seariously
I watched around 3000 hours of sc2 progames And this Is the best zvz i ever saw😮
