YES, this exactly!! Especially the other video lowko casted when he complemented about how good the micro is, then the player immediately screws up like 5 secs after lowko said it
"think he went into the cinema, expecting to watch the incredibles, but he's really watching the human centipede. Now he's confused where the superheroes are" How do people come up with hilarious shit like this
46:38 Lowko: "Arnold had the sickest chest genetics - I don't think anyone can get there" 46:58 Harstem: "He decides to call it quits. He tells me it's bad genetics and can never actually become big." That next-level prediction call out from Harstem though.
Harstem was so on point that he predicted Lowko's response a few times, and each time was amazing. It was almost like they were having a dialogue. I was blown away by how well it matched up. Unbelievable! :D
"He's slowly losing the plot. Think he just went to a cinema, and he expected to watch The Incredibles, but he is watching the Human Centipede and he's confused where the superheroes are and what these people are doing to each other" LOLOLOLOLOL
1st half of the games each day : "you know im just warming up they are not so good" 2nd half of the games each day : "you know i was streaming for 6 hours im tired they are not so good"
And that is what humility looks like, I know it's strange for this generation to wrap their heads around but people used to be like that all the time. They would take criticism and use it to improve themselves, unlike today if you criticize they scream at you and call you a bigot!
@Kaboom Baby Hate to say it dude but your generation is kind of narcissistic. Sure there are some good ones, but just look at social media and the kind of personalities that fill their servers! Did you see the video of the girl who said if anyone says "All lives matter" to her she'll stab them and compare their wound to a paper cut. Then when fired blamed Trump supporters heaven forbid she think what she did was wrong. There are streets and colleges FULL of people just like that!

Watch this video and tell me which one is better ruclips.net/video/CGLoLyk3vV0/видео.html
@@jayemmzz8301 uhm, mech is not mobile, and Zerg can just force Terran into either splitting their army, or attack where the mech force are not their. The whole point of playing Zerg is not to trade effectively, its to kill as many units as you can.

Thumbs up for daring to be scrutinised by Harstem and for being a good sport dealing with the roasting. You two are my favorite RUclipsrs - I never miss an SC2 video from you. Thanks for all the effort and love you are putting into this.
"lowko choose wisely between the green pill, red pill, and blue pill" Lowko : "what's about the purple pill?" "Purple? Lowko, where's you get that pill?" Lowko : "under the sofa"
I love the fact that Harstem is telling Lowko to build static defense at his bases around 27:10, which is something that we all know Lowko forgets to do most of the time xD
@@TrueThanny he doesn't even forget to, he just refuses to as if it's a waste of money, which pros always seem to think, and inevitably sustain incredible losses because they were too stubborn to build 300 minerals worth of defense at a base to guarantee it stays up..
@@whirlwind872 It doesn't have to be a waste of resources. You have a supply cap of 200. If you need to defend more places than that cap limit can allow, why not have some static defenses to at least slow down the attack when it comes? Sure, you rebuild your army a little bit slower spending some of it on static defenses, but if you can't afford a couple of turrets, you're probably losing anyway.
I don't think Lowko went for the Green pill. Considering he went with all sorts of compositions, I think Lowko went for all the pills, got high, and that's how we ended up with this game.
I watched that stream live! You did well Lowko, even if you got roasted by 5 progamers saying you suck. You should do another collaboration with Harstem, maybe coaching with him?
Dang that roast was toastier than a blue flame hellion drone BBQ. Kudos to you for taking it like an absolute pogchamp. Please do more caster-ception videos like this, that was absolutely hysterical.
I've been also kinda pleased to see how Harstem actually explained what was wrong and how to correct those things. Quite thrash humour, but still hilarious! (Watched Harstem's video when it came out, nicely suprised you watched it and post the reaction video ^^)
17:24 Lowko's reaction to "as long as he doesn't build anymore Lurkers" 😂😂 fantastic haha. Very well done to you, Lowko, for submitting your game for roasting, you took it very well; a lesson in pure humility and good humour we all can learn from! Loved Special's reaction haha.
I'm so glad you made a reaction video! I was so stoked to see the original come out on Harstem's channel, but I kept thinking it was missing your reactions. I haven't watched this yet, but I can't wait!!!

Grandmaster on NA and only 5k mmr isn't that great. Probably the lowest end possible for grandmaster league. Its the reason why people look at lowko games for fun, not for advice. Especially when it comes to balance patch reviews. Lowko is more of a caster than a player with his content.
Respect Lowko, you are a content creator who is courageous and honourable enough to give a replay and get roasted and then accept it with laugh and dignity. I'm sure it was difficult.
This video was so amazing ! Was literally glued to the last second !! Lowko commenting to himself being scrutinised and roasted actually made it all a whole lot better !! I was also introduced to Harstem's content through this and he's a really funny guy!! ( And all the special guests were amazing 😂😂😂)
This video was so fun to watch I finally bit the bullet and started downloading StarCraft 2. Wonder if I can get back into the swing of things, or be doomed to wind up on one of Winter's Bronze League Heroes. Edit: I totally forgot how hard this game is lol. How do you remember to build workers, army, get upgrades, spread creep, and expand?!?!? Kind of overwhelming.
@@NoTLucas Starting to realize that. Talked to people in general chat and they recommended Winter's guide to zerg. Watched it and took the lesson to heart, and I won my first ranked game. Still got a lot to learn though ._.
@@Vevvev8 Another great series to watch is ViBE's bronze to GM too. He has one for each race as well. Here's my best advice for you that Harstem always gives - nailing a build order is INCREDIBLYYYYY important. Find an easy build order on the spawningtool website and practice it against very easy AI like 20+ times, until you can perform it PERFECTLY, getting all the units and structures at the exact right times. You're gonna screw it up tons of times, but the point is to do it with zero pressure on you so you can really learn it (thats why you strictly do it against very easy AI). But seriously though, if you are following the build 20 seconds late, that's not good enough. Force yourself to REALLY learn it perfectly. If you can nail some build orders down I guarantee you can easily get to diamond with them just by A-moving across the map
29:40 I think, if you've seen enough of "Is It Imba Or Do I Suck," you know exactly what Harstem's response to you would be: unbind the all army hotkey for a season.
Harstem thinking lowko makes creative scenarios, while me in gold/plat leauge sucks so bad, I fail to win a fight when im up 2 upgrades, up 60 army supply and 20 workers when i could have a moved and won.
I think one of my favourite things is the camaraderie among the players and content creators. You both show and bring an extra level of enjoyment to the game.
I freaking love this. I’ve watched you for a little under a decade and I follow the Starcraft 2 tournaments and recently got hooked on harstem too because he’s just funny with his dialog as he plays. This whole cross-story vibe with everyone is just amazing. This community is amazing
thank you for featuring harstem.i never even play protoss but i was binge watching his channel.love this organic psychology vibe...speaking of vibe i hope you will feature him too. :) your fan since 10k subs ~~
My favorite part of this video is where you found useful advice to takeaway. I can't wait to watch you play against mech again and brandish some Harstem-strats!
As a electronic gamer, I love how you can take the criticism and build from it. You recognize your strengths and weaknesses and have fun with the game. I don't play Starcraft much anymore, but I fully enjoy watching your casts and your analyses. You are a great players and a role model for electronic gamers. Keep up the great work and thanks for being a stellar caster.
Nice. This was fun and very helpful. Saw his review yesterday and now i just saw your reaction on his review hahaha. Thumbs up for the positive reaction. I'm one of those who suck at Starcraft as well but still playing this till now since year 2001.
I love this kind of collaboration, makes you and Harstem like bros! Only bros critic, review and give comprehensive feedback about good and bad parts of your game. Love it!
nope, if you have a brain and magical units with good mix of unit you can beat more stuff by less stuff but if you have both no brains inside your skulls than yes it might be true if you just headbutting each other like idiots, just more units beat less units
@@manupainkiller protoss units who can beat more stuff with less stuff : dark templars, high templars, disruptors, also collosus& archons are super effective combo against terrans or zergs. SO what I said is especially apply for the protoss, I would say its not for the terrans who have crap units and have to make just more of them annd faster than you
well, actually he wasnt that bad in the early game, still ahead 10k resources. It was his lategame here that lost him this match. Constantly switching tech actually cost resource while Terran doing nothing but sitting on Thor-Tank and slowly expanding the base.
I think his late game and macro are good. It is his impatience and early game that cause him lots of troubles. His opponent this game would probably laugh out loud every time Lowko immaturely switched unit composition.
@@wolfiepoe3032 That was his mid game and late game actually, switching up to Hydra-Corruptor, then adding banneling then making Viper then going to Lurker and then making Brood Lords. His army composition is pretty much a "rainbow" army which do nothing particularly well against Terran Mech.
@@wolfiepoe3032 I don't understand how anyone compliments either his micro or his macro at any time during the match. If by micro you understand best managing units in the context of a small fight, his corruptors rush head on in a full ground army and die, so I can't give that too much credit. If by macro we talk about managing multiple things as fast as possible... again, the fact he sent all his army for each attack while he already saw over 3 times the enemy poking with BCs... That's like saying he took the criticism well when he's throwing the shit all the ways... yea, he's not criticising the guy looking at his gameplay (because he's objectively better), but he goes to the point of calling his enemy "donkier" just because he played bad. Like, I went down but time to drag everyone down too
respect on sending your video to Harstem, its both entertaining and shows we can always improve and take advice. both videos are gold and are super entertaining. had to watch it couple of times
@@HamidKarzai Only in a few states, and then for different offenses. In California, for example, three felonies is a mandatory life term, which is a violation of the Constitution (which the courts have not properly recognized yet). In a few states, that result only arises from two or more convictions for particularly heinous crimes, like murder. There are more states where multiple previous felony convictions increase the minimum sentence of the next conviction, but it's not actually a "three strikes" law unless it results in life imprisonment based on previous convictions. In some cases (notably California), it is indeed very bad and damaging. In others, it's really no different than if the laws didn't exists, because judges faced with a the requisite criminal history would impose the same sentences anyway (e.g. if you've murdered in the past and get convicted of doing it again, you don't need a special law to predict that a judge is going to put you away for life).
The summary of the sage advice here seems to be: -Pick your strategy and stick to it and what makes it work well. (Hydra+Viper was pretty ok for abduct trading, but need to be very proactive with it, the early bane nest actually could've set you up *really* nicely to bane-bust bases during this same timeframe, while covering for if you're up against bio, but probably not needed *that* early; A few corrupters and some static defenses likely could've shutdown most of the battlecruiser harass with little effort on your end) -Main strategy options: Option 1: Take 1+ extra base and mine them out (he mentioned in passing the idea of mining the outer bases earlier on, but didn't quite spell out why: the idea being that later on you don't have to worry as much about your enemy attacking an outlying base on the far side of where your main army is, so again, the Terran has more to lose if they go for outpost trade instead of confronting your army, that loves to just abduct snipe their units all the time and avoid actually taking a straight up fight unless you win it). Option 2: Bane+Viper+damage unit to kill abducted enemies, play the pressure/tempo/rotation game and force the terran to play whack-a-mole defensively and run him out of resources and options to relieve the pressure and actually expand up to enough economy to stabilize his defensive situation. Option 3: Fighting army with Infestors to win a decisive fight (hardest to pull off, and a likely better as a way to transition a proper lead into a victory?) (note, can pursue options 1 and 2 together, which imo would be a very good answer to what Terran was up to) Implicit advice (not explicitly mentioned, but a thing that I know Winter *always* seems to bring up in Bronze League Heroes): Get off of reliance on the all army hotkey and use control groups more.
Harstem's really an exceptional human being. That's probably my favorite thing about SC2: it's absolutely filled with people who are just exceptionally talented.

I think one of my favourite things is the camaraderie among the players and content creators. You both show and bring an extra level of enjoyment to the game.
SpeCial's reaction was the best
True gold.
I freaking love this. I’ve watched you for a little under a decade and I follow the Starcraft 2 tournaments and recently got hooked on harstem too because he’s just funny with his dialog as he plays. This whole cross-story vibe with everyone is just amazing. This community is amazing
thank you for featuring harstem.i never even play protoss but i was binge watching his channel.love this organic psychology vibe...speaking of vibe i hope you will feature him too. :) your fan since 10k subs ~~
So cool seeing Lowko being a student and getting schooled but he is still focusing on learning
watched this when harstem released youtube chat was begging for lowko to say something
Serral saying You Suck is like. "Yes king I do suck, step on me please"
Tears in my eyes from laughing. Both of you are amazing!
Harstem thinks Lowko was fighting SJK, when he was actually trying to confuse Harstem in the future. Lowko meta af
It's super cool lowko, thank you for your work and hello from Switzerland 😊
How tf is this 3 yo. Just came back to watch it for the first time since it came out. Time flies so fast
Thoroughly entertained, depression cured.
This is peak SC2 content.
First time I've been this entertained and invested in a single SC2 video in a long time. Thank you Harstem and Lowko
Harstem silent roasts were on point, also SpeCial was awesome
What a beautiful community feeling co-op. Lowko you've looked up to many. We all look up to you.
So this is Lowko video reacting to Harstem video, that is reacting to a Lowko video? Sounds good!
My favorite part of this video is where you found useful advice to takeaway. I can't wait to watch you play against mech again and brandish some Harstem-strats!
Is this going to be a new series where Lowko gets roasted?
I want more.
34:22 "I casted a game of Zerg vs Terran mech that Serral played. I don't exactly know who the opponent was ... I think it was Serral" :-D :-D
As a electronic gamer, I love how you can take the criticism and build from it. You recognize your strengths and weaknesses and have fun with the game. I don't play Starcraft much anymore, but I fully enjoy watching your casts and your analyses. You are a great players and a role model for electronic gamers. Keep up the great work and thanks for being a stellar caster.
Nice. This was fun and very helpful. Saw his review yesterday and now i just saw your reaction on his review hahaha. Thumbs up for the positive reaction. I'm one of those who suck at Starcraft as well but still playing this till now since year 2001.
It takes mad courage to subject your replays to this and stream it. Kudos to you Lowko.
(But we will still tease you about this ;)
Cracked up every time he yoinked and I hear the "bup" sound effect.. So good
Lowko: *gets 5 strikes
Nicouz: *laughs from the utter darkness of bronze 3
There used to be a wood league, I've been told ... Actually, there was, in the beta, a Copper League
@@Galahad54 wood league is for those who have wooden hands...
I love this kind of collaboration, makes you and Harstem like bros! Only bros critic, review and give comprehensive feedback about good and bad parts of your game. Love it!
43:40 A wise man once said "More stuff counters less stuff"
nope, if you have a brain and magical units with good mix of unit you can beat more stuff by less stuff but if you have both no brains inside your skulls than yes it might be true if you just headbutting each other like idiots, just more units beat less units
Doesn't seem to apply for the protoss though !
@@manupainkiller protoss units who can beat more stuff with less stuff : dark templars, high templars, disruptors, also collosus& archons are super effective combo against terrans or zergs. SO what I said is especially apply for the protoss, I would say its not for the terrans who have crap units and have to make just more of them annd faster than you
I do not really watch Harstem since his low energy voice puts me to sleep but the two of you made this amazing fun.
To Lowko's defense, Lowko is known for his late game. His early game is improving.
well, actually he wasnt that bad in the early game, still ahead 10k resources. It was his lategame here that lost him this match. Constantly switching tech actually cost resource while Terran doing nothing but sitting on Thor-Tank and slowly expanding the base.
I think his late game and macro are good. It is his impatience and early game that cause him lots of troubles. His opponent this game would probably laugh out loud every time Lowko immaturely switched unit composition.
@@wolfiepoe3032 That was his mid game and late game actually, switching up to Hydra-Corruptor, then adding banneling then making Viper then going to Lurker and then making Brood Lords. His army composition is pretty much a "rainbow" army which do nothing particularly well against Terran Mech.
@@wolfiepoe3032 I don't understand how anyone compliments either his micro or his macro at any time during the match. If by micro you understand best managing units in the context of a small fight, his corruptors rush head on in a full ground army and die, so I can't give that too much credit.
If by macro we talk about managing multiple things as fast as possible... again, the fact he sent all his army for each attack while he already saw over 3 times the enemy poking with BCs...
That's like saying he took the criticism well when he's throwing the shit all the ways... yea, he's not criticising the guy looking at his gameplay (because he's objectively better), but he goes to the point of calling his enemy "donkier" just because he played bad. Like, I went down but time to drag everyone down too
That's defence? Hahaha
respect on sending your video to Harstem, its both entertaining and shows we can always improve and take advice. both videos are gold and are super entertaining. had to watch it couple of times
THIS IS AWESOME
man i just cant stop comming back to that special scene. that got me rolling on the flor. you guys all are the best. great content creators
"here we are using the American justice system... It's based on baseball..."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It actually is though 🤣
@@destrik4115
It isn't, but the joke was still amusing.
TrueCarthaginian there is in fact a three strikes thing in us law. It's very bad and damaging
@@HamidKarzai Only in a few states, and then for different offenses. In California, for example, three felonies is a mandatory life term, which is a violation of the Constitution (which the courts have not properly recognized yet). In a few states, that result only arises from two or more convictions for particularly heinous crimes, like murder.
There are more states where multiple previous felony convictions increase the minimum sentence of the next conviction, but it's not actually a "three strikes" law unless it results in life imprisonment based on previous convictions.
In some cases (notably California), it is indeed very bad and damaging. In others, it's really no different than if the laws didn't exists, because judges faced with a the requisite criminal history would impose the same sentences anyway (e.g. if you've murdered in the past and get convicted of doing it again, you don't need a special law to predict that a judge is going to put you away for life).
@@TrueThanny interesting, thanks for clarifying
The summary of the sage advice here seems to be:
-Pick your strategy and stick to it and what makes it work well. (Hydra+Viper was pretty ok for abduct trading, but need to be very proactive with it, the early bane nest actually could've set you up *really* nicely to bane-bust bases during this same timeframe, while covering for if you're up against bio, but probably not needed *that* early; A few corrupters and some static defenses likely could've shutdown most of the battlecruiser harass with little effort on your end)
-Main strategy options:
Option 1: Take 1+ extra base and mine them out (he mentioned in passing the idea of mining the outer bases earlier on, but didn't quite spell out why: the idea being that later on you don't have to worry as much about your enemy attacking an outlying base on the far side of where your main army is, so again, the Terran has more to lose if they go for outpost trade instead of confronting your army, that loves to just abduct snipe their units all the time and avoid actually taking a straight up fight unless you win it).
Option 2: Bane+Viper+damage unit to kill abducted enemies, play the pressure/tempo/rotation game and force the terran to play whack-a-mole defensively and run him out of resources and options to relieve the pressure and actually expand up to enough economy to stabilize his defensive situation.
Option 3: Fighting army with Infestors to win a decisive fight (hardest to pull off, and a likely better as a way to transition a proper lead into a victory?)
(note, can pursue options 1 and 2 together, which imo would be a very good answer to what Terran was up to)
Implicit advice (not explicitly mentioned, but a thing that I know Winter *always* seems to bring up in Bronze League Heroes): Get off of reliance on the all army hotkey and use control groups more.
Damn.. harstem has a cold sense of humor. Hadn't expected this. :D
"Human centipede" Aaaaaaahahahahaha
Harstem's really an exceptional human being. That's probably my favorite thing about SC2: it's absolutely filled with people who are just exceptionally talented.
I always watch only Lowko's casts and commentaries on games so it is unusual experience to see Lowko's game getting analysed like that
I would love to see Winter angry coach one of Lowko’s games
Winter sucks too wtf
That would be awesome, then I think Lowko have a better mmr than him.
Instead of saying "You suck", Winter would just go "I want a divorce".
and then a twin video of Lowko casting a viewer submitted match played by Winter
Oh man I saw harstem's video yesterday and have been waiting for your response video. Awesome content from both of you. Keep it up!
