My rush failed, so instead of spending 5K resources on Mutas and an army to rush his rebuild, he just sits and does absolutely nothing while Protoss is losing his mind trying to power-out units and buildings with the Nexus.
Yeah. I'm barely in gold league and that was hard to watch. Even for me. I mean... once you got them locked into their own base like that all you need is a dozen lings. x_x
@@tarrker Could also take bases behind it and steamroll that way you don't always need to kill immediately crippling your opponent like this Zerg did is enough alot of times but in this case you're right speedlings would have cleaned up
@@cam9144 Yeah full blown crying snot all over the keyboard screaming, punching the air . Neighbors called the cops on me. No I teared up a little bit you fucking buffoon
This is why I love view submitted games over the pros, you can't predict shit. Everything you know about the pro players goes out the window and the entire game is a complete gamble, I love it!
That protoss has potential. Everything he did, he did it badly and he did it slow, but he DID do THE RIGHT things. He did the bare minimum of micro with his expensive units. He built workers, he defended fine, he attacked fine, he tried to counter the opponent. If he plays more, he'll climb the ladder real fast.
@7:20 - Lowko: "I think it's time to uproot all the Spines at once, plant them next to the nexus, attack with the Roaches and transfuse with the Queen." Ilion: "So, how do you uproot more than one Spine at a time? How do you avoid them getting shot one by one while they move forward individually? Also, he has Cannons so my Roaches will get shot at! And what in the name of Jebus is a trans fuse? Sounds like a Terran upgrade. Silly Lowko, I'm playing Zerg. You see, your plant would never work!"
Man, what a universal reaction to that "protos op" from Illion, jesus. I legit cried from laughter. And these kinds of games are why you cast Silver from time to time.
Hahah we’ve all been there “why doesn’t he just stim and stutter-step while simultaneously sniping the banelings and macro at home?” Mean while when we play: *angry confused typing noises*
@@maximuscalistopontifice1042 i'm talking about before he switched to the top-left base. lowko was saying that he should switch to voids or DTs to clear the spines but he did neither.
last weekend i went with some friends to Amsterdam, and while they were all like "yeah we gonna get wasted yayyy" i was like "omg what do i do if i meet lowko on the street, i don't even have a pen to ask for an autograph"
i really wish lowko harstem and the rest would do more coverage of matches like this on the lower levels. Watching the pros go at it is fun and all, but watching low level matchs are a riot, and far more entertaining, along with being alot more informative as you can actually see what bad plays look like, where as in the pro matches, if you see a bad play, its still a great play compared to what a lot of the lower levels do.
You're an extremely amazing caster man, I mean to make this silver game that entertaining. I'm gonna submit my own, I would love to see you cast my game lol
Easy to armchair quarterback a silver game as a plat but I still like to frame stuff like this as "even if I was bad at splitting my attention, even if i was bad at micro, even if I didn't know when to expand..." all the zerg had to do was start cranking out 4 queens and piles of hydras and then a-moved. Seems like his biggest issue was NOT a-moving because he'd walk past stuff without shooting at it while also taking damage, like giving away half your hitpoints for free while doing no damage. I guess the silver lining is it would be pretty easy for him to improve his play - spend your money, and know when to a-move (which is very close to always when it comes to zerg, especially at this level).
I think the adrenaline from actually managing to trap his enemy in his starting base within the first 5 minutes caused ilion's brain to short-circuit and he basically turned into a vegetable for the next 15 minutes.
I have a replay that I wish I'd saved. Did a ling rush that got thwarted by early siege tanks. Ten minutes later I won through sheer determination and because my opponent refused to build a single air unit. LoL :)
This is like the how the tables have turned meme reminds me of that terran vs zerg where terran allowed a few drones to get away and managed to build an overwhelming army
The opening was half decent for the zerg. The middle and end were epic for toss. Protoss op? Lol. You got lazy after taking, scratch that, during, the toss base take over.
It was a lot better than it should because I read the comments where the zerg said "protoss op" so I knew the tables would turn one way or another hahaha
As a Platinum Zerg player who likes to 12 pool, I find it harder to rush a Protoss who builds close to their Nexus because the probes are more easily able to defend the pylon.
honestly? that protoss wasn't half bad. sure he got absolutely ruined initially, but instead of panicking and giving up, he took his probes, went ahead and rebuilt in an unexpected spot, defended like a champ, didn't wait for the protoss death ball to build up but instead did genuinely good smaller attacks which in the end won him the game, he knows what upgrades are, he micro'd a bit, and he was constantly producing, or at least trying to, and he didn't even get cocky once he got a lot of void rays but instead was fully prepared to go carriers and tempests if his void rays were pushed back, he had the confidence that the void rays will clean up, sure, *_but he had a backup plan._* good going, tricks.
"protoss op" He was at 2000 + minerals for the last 10 mins. Could have just made mass banelings walk in together with roaches to tank cannons and rush the entire base in one swoop. Instead he walks in with like 5 units here and there that insta dies to cannons and void rays while still not spending his bank. Also he could have taken that gold base right outside the protoss base and just turtle it with spores.
“Wtf. Protoss op.” While floating 5k resources
My rush failed, so instead of spending 5K resources on Mutas and an army to rush his rebuild, he just sits and does absolutely nothing while Protoss is losing his mind trying to power-out units and buildings with the Nexus.
@@donhartfield mutas are the last thing he needs lol
He had the perfect cenário to play the perfect sim city and cover the whole map
@@declanhiller4902 he could've won with 5k of zerglings. Even drone rush. Literally anything after the Protoss lost their nexus would've worked ;D
@@donhartfield lower leagues dont know how to max, they think its league of legends or sth where u have to micro only a dozen of units.
"And with that silver league is still sliver league"
Truer words have never been spoken
"Is Protos going to win this? They're both terrible players, but is Protoss winning this?"
@@donhartfield OP confirmed.
And with that bomb, back to the farm

The "cheesing pos" response cracked me up.

Protoss is not op , but the zerg(player here) is too weak
@@AngusCNH That's what makes the message so funny
@@abumustafa4651 yes🤣

This guy is clearly cosplaying Lowko in silver league.
bet lowko wont like this comment.

i think you learn more on these games too. plus there a riot compared to pro games.

Yes, he’ll climb his way out of dirt league and into wood league
Good point!
He just must watch Vibe b2gm and Will be fine
13:39 Out of the 160 or so apm he's got right now, at least the 120 had gotten to the Spine Crawlers
I died lmao
@7:20 - Lowko: "I think it's time to uproot all the Spines at once, plant them next to the nexus, attack with the Roaches and transfuse with the Queen."

I think the most impressive thing about this match was a zerg with almost 5k resources having less than 100 supply. OMG. XD
How could he let the toss rebuild while toss had no army just need to check all expo and don’t let him expend
Man, what a universal reaction to that "protos op" from Illion, jesus. I legit cried from laughter.
And these kinds of games are why you cast Silver from time to time.
Honestly, this is all i want to see in a silver game, what an absolute banger of a match
Zerg Cannon Rush?! With a bunch of arrows would have been a perfect title
The satisfaction of watching this is unreal.
I just reinstalled StarCraft II thinking there's no way I was this bad... There was a way
Hahah we’ve all been there “why doesn’t he just stim and stutter-step while simultaneously sniping the banelings and macro at home?” Mean while when we play: *angry confused typing noises*
never thought i'd see a Spine Crawler vs Photon Cannon duel
the toss could have had DTs AND voids, but ofc he went neither.
What do you mean? He won with void Rays didn't you watch the match?
@@maximuscalistopontifice1042 i'm talking about before he switched to the top-left base. lowko was saying that he should switch to voids or DTs to clear the spines but he did neither.
So this is why Zergs complain about skytoss? Perhaps submit this to Harstem as an IODIS.
You should cast more of this type of gameplay. Sometimes it is freaking fun to watch gameplay that make you rolf~ hahaha!
I don't watch a lot of Starcraft 2 atm. But still I check your Channel everyday if there is a new viewer game. Pls keep them coming. I love it.
I don’t even play Starcraft anymore and I still watch this mans videos for the vibe
eyy...same
"Protoss OP" comment at the end was really the cherry on top :D
Reminds me of that meme where the guy puts the stick in the bike wheel and falls. "Protos OP"
Hell Yeah! A viewer game!!! This is what I tune in for!!
The roll laugh at the end…kills me!

Lowko this comment has nothing to do with this video but you and Harstem should do 2v2's and destroy everyone with the worst and cheesiest builds
Viewer submitted games are my absolute favorite to watch!

These are the best casts. Anything can happen!
I remember this series from back in the day called 'When cheese fails' and this reminded me of it hard. I forget which YT did it though.

The Legendary Secondary Backup Forge. What a Legend! - Lowko 2021

That ending was perfect
"wtf, protoss op" =)))) that's last line is killing me =))))
I have never even attempted to play SC2 online and this hurt my soul to watch
This is like the how the tables have turned meme reminds me of that terran vs zerg where terran allowed a few drones to get away and managed to build an overwhelming army
Queens are armoured so making the beams thick on the voids has a huge impact. Am I wrong?
I laughed. I cried. It was glorious. 10/10
Best episode of "Is it IMBA or do i suck", ever! ... oh wait. :D
MORE SILVER LEAGUE CASTS!!!
The opening was half decent for the zerg. The middle and end were epic for toss. Protoss op? Lol. You got lazy after taking, scratch that, during, the toss base take over.
This game was glorious
New to your channel. Definitely my new favorite. I have a question, was Husky an inspiration to your casting?
The Opera's not over, but the Fat Lady is warming up in the wings.
Very funny start , and it's really entertaining match, lololol
It was a lot better than it should because I read the comments where the zerg said "protoss op" so I knew the tables would turn one way or another hahaha
It looks like the arrow is pointing to the spine which is pointing to another spine which is AGGRESSIVELY pointing to the nexus
"Protos OP". That got me.
I was a zerg player. Bad memories of Protoss echo in my head after watching this video. It's scary.
Love how the zerg player made a fuck ton of spore crawlers in its oponent's main even tho there was no starport or air protoss units
The Zerg player is saving his resources for the next game i think. Dude's sitting on a pile of minerals and gas but he chose to do nothing with it.
There isn't a problem you can't solve with some photon cannons. If the going gets tough, put them in a crescent moon and you're golden.
Did that ravager just casually walk trough a queen there at 17:35
I missed that, but it's freaking hilarious. Looks like it walked through 2 queens.
That "Protoss OP" comment, oh my god! XD
This was like preschool toddlers trying to spell anatomy words while you make them spin. Quite funny xD.
Lowko, you need to do one of these where you have the person playing live with you to explain what they were thinking as you ROAST them lol
Game of the year, right here
This is the best title on RUclips. :))
The pain of watching this
Lowko cannot play our feelings like a roller coaster. From yesterday's GuMiho's GOTY match to today...rando? HELLOW??
I think the zerg version of the cannon rush should be a spine or crawler rush.
2:39 is the Zerg trying to stutter step zerglings? Against a zealot?
"protos [sic] op" made me laugh so hard, professional comedians pale in comparison.
As a Platinum Zerg player who likes to 12 pool, I find it harder to rush a Protoss who builds close to their Nexus because the probes are more easily able to defend the pylon.
This one was really fun! By the way, you haven't used the classic intro in a long time, I miss it
honestly? that protoss wasn't half bad.

good going, tricks.
Good lord that battery overcharge is insane.
That feeling when you've sent Lowko equally good replay and it was never shown.
Nothing could be this good (bad)
When probes escape iliot literally has no unit to chase them down lol
I don't play ladder and I know I'd be gold, platinum at best, if I practiced...but I take great comfort in knowing I am not THIS bad.
I've only started SC2 last week, but half of my youtube screen is invaded by SC videos😅, I understand stuff but can't beat Medium A.I yet xd
Harstem should cast this with his am I am imba or do I suck series :P.
its very obvious but i would love to see harstem reaction
@@ZeroMetal He could make it about the units. About the voidrays, the ravagers and the queens, asking themselves am I imba or do I suck.
amazing.
I have lost every one of my pvp matches and even I think I'd at least know to target pylons or shield batteries
I actualy have pulled something like this with the spines
but with a zerg opponent
this makes my beam thick for no apparent reason 15:12
I always thought Queens were armored.
Guess not, it's jut psionic and bio.
wondre what the reasons are for the decsions
Despite the man’s pylons literally flys!
Nice pun Lowko

Protoss discovered void rays and now sits in platinum with every other protoss player.
Let's be real, it's the birth place where new meta defining moments are born
It must be hard to play a game where all the units are better than all the other units.
The Kala is strong with this one.
