Goblin should have won game #1. If he had continued attacking Elazor's main base, that would have been his win. Those mutas and lings couldn't have killed his base fast enough. Too bad he had no way to know.
Wow game 3 was super exciting to watch. I'm really enjoying goblin's play style and i'm super excited for the future of SC2! Its only going to continue to evolve more and more! Cheese is being re-defined! The longer SC2 is played the more I feel it will become a multi-layered cake similar to how golbin is playing in game 3. The more I see top level Zerg play opponents who can't be read so easily the more I see them being held back by their drone count, its almost like they are becoming less and less flexible as they desire their drone count to reach a certain number before they feel they can properly respond. The longer this goes on the more the opponent feels they are in control of the match which slowly weakens the opposing player mentally. Thank you for another lovely cast Lowko! [now to watch game 4!]
It's hard to believe it's been already over 15 years in the past since i played ''starcraft'' as semi pro player in regional championships. now this game trully evolved to next stage i dont known lots units what they use in fight but still is nice to watch how the next generation players play game from my teenage time. :) awesome matches!
As a zerg player myself.. This protoss inspires me. Loved that playstyle, goblin was obviously planning ahead, some dynasty warriors tactics stuff jajaja.
2:38 pylon in that corner next to where that cannon is Will energy field the low ground a cannon or 2 will shut that proxy down with base defense as well
37:25 Elazer building spores to fight off the Phoenix... which is a hallucination goblin made just to get vision on the overlord scout. There's no Stargate on the map.
begining of the second match: Elazer: haha, i got a drone in your spot, you cant do your rush anymore! :D goblin: *takes a single step back* im just gonna rush from here now
I feel that in the last game goblin just needed to pull more drones to attack the pylon from the start. He saw it early but didn't respond properly. I also this since he didn't pull on time, at least cancel the hatchery, then he wouldn't have to deal with the cannons...
I noticed that too. It looked like he went with his corruptors togeter with roaches (?) to deal with Zealots. Maybe he had them on one control group. Anyway, this missclick might cost him a game. Another thing, there was Zealots already, so wy didn't he made banelings as a counter. I mean, I lost once in silver because I had 120 army Corruptors and lost because of some Zealots. But he is GM who should predict that kind of things.
@@andrew_kay i think he was supply blocked and needed to get rid of phoenixes in order to do it - otherwise he'd make ovi and toss would just snipe them off
second draw in sc2 i saw first one was in HotS i guess or WoL its been a long time it was a TvZ and i don't remember the name of the Zerg but the Terran was Milz from slayers and it was casted by khaldor so it has been a long time since he casted sc2 xD
I can imagine them releasing SC 3 with units and structures attacking and moving with speed and efficiency depending on their HP. And VR support, of course.
Surprised Goblin walked back to defend, I'd think that he could destroy his enemies base faster than a small squad of mutas could take out all his buildings.
Last time I saw goblin, he was a bit of a one trick pony, with his immortal shield battery rushes. I'm glad to see that he's got some other tricks up his sleeve, in particular the mass phoenix transition into overlord deny was very interesting.
Game 3 is so close to what I want PvZ to look like. Mass Phoenix wiping out the overlords, but following that with DT's. Wipe out the overlords and there is no detection. And DT's hit so hard. The only difficult part is both DT's and Phoenixes are micro intensive units.
just a question... if you know that phoenix cause a tonne of damage when they show up... why not just burrow the drones? They can't pick up units they can't see.
Man if goblin left the immortal to finish off that extractor, it would have been a fairly easy win for him - what an awesome first game! And don't care what anyone says - absolutely love watching Goblin's playstyle.
what if goblin started a upgrade in his forge when he had 200 minerals and 160 gas and no workers or supply left for anything else, he could power the forge with his prism
Lowko back in HotS there was a game, wheer the protoss ran out of money for the interceptors and Life build 17 sporecrawlers at ine base and killed the two zealots with drones and then they drawed!
28:11 "Phoenixes can fire and shoot at the same time." Well, that statement is definetely hard to beat.
i was enlightened at that moment XD
It's the second time he says that. Can't remember which one was the first video, though.
the second he said that i scrolled down to comments to find someone who noticed that and said about that. ANd here you are :D

It is true in the path of lowkology.
That's technically correct.
They fire the Left barrel and shoot the Right at the same time... so this is 100% correct.
yes l kow
no!!!!!!!!!!!!!
20:23 "Even gonna steal some minerals, too... Eugh, the bastard probe!"
Hahahahah, I love your commentary, Simon :D
Ayyy more cheese. We love cheese, protmesan is quite good on a pizza with oracle rings, but a lot of people love mozzateran with marineated rax too.
absolutely the biggest cheese is pineapple on pizza
@@KoaFidCZ nah, that's frowned upon in the current meta
@@mantas9259 As a pineapple player myself, I always find my pineapples are greatly improved by simply throwing a pizza underneath them.

There was the drone far from the main, he could build an gas extractor with that 50 minerals and win
They were revealed? Goblin shouldn't recall on the first place.
@@dmd6227 Drones are not revealed. Only after he started (or even finished?) building, it would be revealed. This would give Elazer enough time
@@frostcop6693 I hadn't considered that. Smart move.
Yeah, pretty sure the battery wouldn't be able to keep up with the muta's regen.
We need Goblin Slayer to deal with him.

Someone get Orcbolg
hahhahaah
Beard-Cutter!
I cant wait for the new season
It's really nice to see a Zerg defeat in these dark times when Zerg has been ruling the Tournament scene for the last what seems like forever.

This Goblin style is so inspiring! Cheese start every single time but always different tactics to finish the opponent. Beautiful!!

Used to cheese much. Good times.
for every lowko's vid I have to scroll down to find abathur's comment. can lowko pin those or something?
love how prot play to he in control the beginning of the game and keep the adapt to change the he get his advantage

At 22:58, the probe delivers the minerals it stole from across the map. What a legend of a probe
Best of three going into the fourth map between protoss and zerg - LEGENDARY
Does anyone wanna see Goblin vs Has or is it just me
Pvp. Is mostly mass Phoenix. And then one big laser show. Not the most exiting games.
Nah it’s not PvP anymore, it’s CvC cheese vs cheese.
@@hinpingloo2470 now that's a cheesy match
I am getting quite hungry, I should order a pizza with extra cheese...
It will end up being draw after draw after draw
well well well cheese for dinner
That was an awesome match ! I love how Goblin was able to go right into macro after the Cheese wasn’t working out 👏👏
but the cheese did work out.... It wasn't a knockout but it setup himself as the one who would come out on top
At 36:43 goblin makes a hallucinated phoenix to get high ground vision in order to kill the pervy overlord. Awesome stuff.
Wooow. Those games were insane. Goblin is creating new play styles for protoss. That phoenix harass was insane!!!
I think I'm in love with the goblin after these rounds.
Game 3 was the most unique way of playing protoss I have ever seen! That was cool!
28:10 "Phoenixes can fire and shoot at the same time"
As a zerg player myself.. This protoss inspires me. Loved that playstyle, goblin was obviously planning ahead, some dynasty warriors tactics stuff jajaja.
Goblin feels so natural and comfy with Protoss it feels almost as if he was part of the game AI.
Goblin's micro is insane!!! I love it!!!
very impressive play by both, especially goblin
Goblin is an absolute monster dude holy shit, I loved the adept play
A minor thing, but Elazer could have saved the buildings with the creep tumor in game #1. Amazing games and cast as usual! Thankyou
I somehow love seeing that many phoenixes doing their business
Goblin is the guy that rocks up to 40k tabletop with a 3K point army of Gretchin hahah
Damn nice games to watch happen
this tittle put a grin on my big protoss face xD
How? Protoss dont have mouths.
@@voidanimator9714 no mouths but you can still catch the grinning gesture ;)
@@BatteryProductions Yeah but its true, Protoss got not mouths, zerg have no brains, and terrans got no soul.

2:38 pylon in that corner next to where that cannon is

a cannon or 2 will shut that proxy down with base defense as well
Great games! The mass phoenix versus mass corruptors game was so exhilarating..
My man goblin doing some work, gonna have to keep my eye on this young man
Most people love to watch someone get cheesed but everyone hates being cheesed lol.
I’m very happy for the next gen of pro gamers. If there all games like these then SC2 is never going to die out
Holy hell, you really find the best matches! Thank you!
37:25 Elazer building spores to fight off the Phoenix... which is a hallucination goblin made just to get vision on the overlord scout. There's no Stargate on the map.

Now that intro deserves a instalike
I always double tap skip 15 secs on all his vids , love the content , intro cringes me every time

" STILL DOE!!!!!"
begining of the second match:
Elazer: haha, i got a drone in your spot, you cant do your rush anymore! :D
goblin: *takes a single step back* im just gonna rush from here now
dude game 1 goblin coulda just killed the building faster than elazer
My God, you are back with a vengeance with the "As Well"!
Man, game 1 didnt have to be a draw
What a finish to an insane Best of 3 Series
Lowko your commentating is lovely
I feel that in the last game goblin just needed to pull more drones to attack the pylon from the start.
He saw it early but didn't respond properly.
I also this since he didn't pull on time, at least cancel the hatchery, then he wouldn't have to deal with the cannons...
30:30 Why did he just puke out one Nexus, instead of all 3 of them? It would've been game over, basically....
was wondering the same thing, he actually used the corruptors to go over the zealot.. maybe he was tilted
The time to charge the ability I think was the problem
that goblin play in last match! WOW
I don’t understand why e laser didn’t go from nexus to nexus and finish them with the corruptor s.
I noticed that too. It looked like he went with his corruptors togeter with roaches (?) to deal with Zealots. Maybe he had them on one control group. Anyway, this missclick might cost him a game. Another thing, there was Zealots already, so wy didn't he made banelings as a counter. I mean, I lost once in silver because I had 120 army Corruptors and lost because of some Zealots. But he is GM who should predict that kind of things.
@@andrew_kay i think he was supply blocked and needed to get rid of phoenixes in order to do it - otherwise he'd make ovi and toss would just snipe them off
corrupters have a cooldown on their ability to attack buildings
one drone with dream (turning into a hatchery)-lowkotv 2018
second draw in sc2 i saw first one was in HotS i guess or WoL its been a long time it was a TvZ and i don't remember the name of the Zerg but the Terran was Milz from slayers
and it was casted by khaldor so it has been a long time since he casted sc2 xD
12:06 where does that Fenix comes from?
I can imagine them releasing SC 3 with units and structures attacking and moving with speed and efficiency depending on their HP. And VR support, of course.
Surprised Goblin walked back to defend, I'd think that he could destroy his enemies base faster than a small squad of mutas could take out all his buildings.
One thing was that there was still an active creep tumor in the first game, so the 2 other structures wouldnt have died
Last time I saw goblin, he was a bit of a one trick pony, with his immortal shield battery rushes. I'm glad to see that he's got some other tricks up his sleeve, in particular the mass phoenix transition into overlord deny was very interesting.
2020 Lowko Quote of the Year : Pocky Boys
just going on name, they have taken the wrong race. elazer is clearly protos, and goblin is clearly zerg
1:55 then why do people flock to see Has play, or the popularity of Florencio files? We luvs it!
I actually can't believe that goblin is ONLY 16, is actually a pro SC2 player and from my country.
BEST SERIESSSS EVERRR!
Elazer getting flashbacks to when he played hitman
"Warp prism being a nuisance here, too, picking up whatever zerg unit it can"
Hol up-
4:34 btw
That was an awesome series.
Game 3 is so close to what I want PvZ to look like. Mass Phoenix wiping out the overlords, but following that with DT's. Wipe out the overlords and there is no detection. And DT's hit so hard. The only difficult part is both DT's and Phoenixes are micro intensive units.
But overlords arent detectors??? And he never made an overseer??? And they were zealots not dts???
Love this type of games
is goblin a Has aprrentice? :D
Great games, ty again man!
I wasn't able to snatch a win before servers went down, so I'm here to study some protoss cheese so I can win the next game.
4 games, 3 maps, Draw is replayed on the same map. that was great.
it hurt, just watching those chess. Elazer is one of my star>
I want a match of Goblin and Has - it will be so cheesy that all of our cholesterols will get to critical levels
just a question... if you know that phoenix cause a tonne of damage when they show up... why not just burrow the drones? They can't pick up units they can't see.
Can't burrow without research
Man if goblin left the immortal to finish off that extractor, it would have been a fairly easy win for him - what an awesome first game! And don't care what anyone says - absolutely love watching Goblin's playstyle.
Man the cheese and mastery level was really high
thx for sharing this great game!

How the map is choosed in 4th+ game of best of 3? How many maps players choose? and after these are depleted, they repat? or random map is chosen?
Goblin what an absolute unit.
I don't get the first game. Didn't goblin had enough army to kill those 3 last structures? Why did he returned to def his base?
Honestly, goblin’s plays in these matches are incredibly inspiring for my trash silver league self
You can never lean macro if all you do is cheese.
pulse crystals do have another color? how long is this in the game?

wow this was something great
If only I was capable of cheesing this hard.
I would have loved to seen those spines walked across the map and an ovi drop creep and attack the wall
Finally some interesting gameplay of sc2
One of the best and most-mapped best of 3s I've seen in a long time.
And this right there, larvas, is why we Zerg insist on exterminating the Protoss.
What is that little thing beside the cannon in the title picture?
This was super fun to watch! I love seeing aggro Protoss, thanks Lowko!
more cheese games and viewer submited matches please!
there is more honor in cheeses straategies because in this way we can save the live of hundreds.
