43:18 "Then again, you're not dealing with the average terran warrior anymore. Maru has risen above and become a legend! The legend that Dark fears. That's right, Maru has become a Super Terran!"
At 1:06:31 nukes make their appearance on the production tab right as Lowko is wanting to see nukes. That means that Maru and Lowko really are close buds.
That was sweet. Thanks for casting! Loved how last game Maru made a bit of everything. Not making it easy to figure out what units to build to counter it. :D
Hi) I am from Ukraine and i love Starcraft very much) Every evening I watch your videos to relax and learn English)) You are better for me than any Russian youtuber, especially in Starcraft segment)) Thank you, keep going! :)
Man that last game was like a extremely hardcore campaign final mission, nydus everywhere, swarmhosts, battlecruisers, thors, ghosts, One of the best series I've ever seen , these guys just make me remember how mortal I am, Dark was impressive as well, if he wasn't as impressive as he was in that game then Maru wouldn't have shined that bright Kudos to both players. Simply Amazing
actually I like to believe Marines and Marauders are made with stims, and the research is like an activation protocol - so during the research, the "stim protocol" is being synced and activated in those suits so it can be remotely used by operating commander on demand. :-)
The map of Blackburn has a lot of red in it - both the terrain and the slowing circles Has anyone ever tried positioning a nuke on top of those feature so that the red dot is harder to spot?
When serral used swarm host, he used swarm host as the DPS and zerglings/bane/whatever as support to attack and draw fire while the locusts cleaned up. Dark is just letting maru play "tower defense" and killing all the locust before they do anything.
Lowko, even though I never posted it, I do remember you saying years ago that Terrans should throw in a few Ghosts with late-game mech, and I agreed with you all the way back then. It's great to see Maru finally prove you right!
A week or so ago someone asked you about creep tumors possibly bleeding out if they weren’t on creep but that never happens since they have to be planted on creep and they also spread creep but at 10:50 in this video there’s 2 creep tumors off creep and they don’t bleed out!
Yeah I think in that very video where it was asked this same situation could actually also be seen earlier in the video. Only when they're being built, obviously, because otherwise they'd always have creep underneath them. The thing I think is that they don't count as buildings while being built? But I might be wrong.
I love Battlecruisers. Fantastic show from both players, but obviously the player who gives me those nice Yamato vvvvjjjiiiiiiiiiiiiii sounds is my fav.
Damn, Lowko, you gotta put Best of 5 so I know what Im getting into when I click a tittle. I wasn't expecting an hour long video, but Im going to watch it, all of it, and Im going to love every second.
When it comes to saying Subscribe in your videos I personally have no problem when the content creators I watch have a somewhat "ritualistic" shout out near the beginning. Say your piece in like 5-10secs have your animation pop in then get on with the content. I've gotten so use to it as long as it's short and concise it personally doesn't bother me if it's in every video. Anyways love the casting man! :)
The terran get the marines into the barracks with a series of caves mined by SCVs. That's how the recruits and materials get to the buildings for training. Please await my upcoming SC2 fan fiction "Tales of Terran Tunnels" for more information.
I like listening to you while I study or play starcraft, been picking up and playing RTS again and having a break from other strategy games, TFT and all plus Rpg and moba.
@Justus Hunter Rogue has been underperforming in the past year he doesn't look so good, I think if any zerg has a chance to defeat Maru that would be Dark
I’ve been watching you steady like two weeks now all videos are super entertaining and fun to watch but the clever dialogue and awesome personality you exuded in this video caused the commitment to sub lol thot you’d like the input. Great content. Ps: I’ve never played Starcraft. I play league and Albion recently.
@@dariomladenovski7047 They're the only unit that can counter Zerg spell casters, and they're almost necessary against Lurkers, Ultras and Brood Lords. Unfortunately if you nerf Ghosts without nerfing those other units Terran is pretty much fucked in late game TvZ.
@@dariomladenovski7047 Yeah, except the tier one units like Lings and Banelings, which happen to be super cheap.... They also balance out against Seismic Lurkers.
First time I've ever noticed that the creep tumors have a casting animation when the active tumor spawns a new one. Looks like it's covered in blinking eyeballs, spooky
Regarding the topic "like and subscribe": I find myself watching several videos by a creator, I really like them, and it's only when I hear "Don't forget to like and subscribe" that I realize that it really makes sense would do, and then I'll do it. From that point of view, there's really nothing bad in my opinion to remind the viewer of it.
10:30 - Maru denying creep spread on the hill for the fifth time... 13:11 - Maru denying Dark's gold base for the fifth time... Maru containing Dark with siege tanks, liberators, and missile turrets. Dark going for the big brain move of a ling/bane run-by 14:58 - Maru producing command centers like they're queens... Dark once again trying to get the gold base and creep on the hill 15:52 - Oof, Dark's spawning pool 17:34 - FeelsGoodMusicMan Dark with a 7 000 mineral and 3 000 gas bank FeelsGoodMan Maru NUKING creep tumors 20:37 - Maru being swarmed and losing 50 SCVs, oof! Dark with 6 000 resources in the bank, can Maru recover!? 24:45 - Siege tank stuck haha! Golden 27:26 - A Lowko Karaoke channel confirmed? lowPog 30:54 - Dark's perfect roach/ravager push! 33:05 - Maru down to 1 SCV! Can he recover!? 36:27 - Maru being German for a second. And for your hypothesis: I think the barracks is a hugging center :) 39:15 - BATTLECRUISERS! FUN!! 43:08 - Proxy time! 50:43 - Oof, that hellion drive-by 52:19 - Maru's spidey senses! 55:05 - SO MANY CREEP TUMORS!!! Swarm hosts are slow and boring. Overall: Fun series!
Lowko at the beginning: "And my win/loss ratio has been a bit better assuming my execution is decent." Same here lowko, my win/loss ratio has been quite a bit better assuming I play like Maru
Maru showing Terrans absolutely insane efficiency with the Ghosts and Mules, wild how much Terran can do with no workers off of basically those two things. At the caliber of play of Maru ofc.
Lowko, some day in the (not too distant?) future at 3am: "Hhnnn, Maru game? Must cast, thx! What the hell are you doing in my bedroom at 3am tho?" ... May or may not need better home security man!
Lowko missed the marine at about 12:00 that wandered off into dark's main base, and sat there for a minute causing a flood of zerglings to come home to kill him ;_;
Snipe on Ultralisks has always bothered me. Should be the one zerg unit that's just too thick headed to be able to be sniped to give them some hope of game impact lol
Ok, I had to look up who wrote the music for SC II and one of the guys worked on Looney Toons, Animaniacs, and Batman the animated series. You can definitely hear the influence when you listen to the horns, reminding me of the Batman intro, and xylophone, clearly reminiscent of Animaniacs intro.
I've been watching your videos for some months now and I've never played SC2 but I think I've seen enough pro matches to know that I'd be completely trash 😂
I find it rather amusing that when maru plays against EU pros, he is defensive most of the time and then wins with a surprise counter. But here in chilling Korean arena, nope, just casually expanding to half the map.
Maru vs. Lowko. Rules: if Maru wins, he takes a shot. Will Lowko win a game before Maru passes out?
Plot twist: Maru becomes even better when drunk.
I think drunk sc2 pro games would be a huge success
@@joshuafink4285 I'm sure we could convince Harstem to set up a tournament with some of the pro players
Fenomenal idea, I normally die with 10 so let’s see if lowko would win at all.
He will just play late game so there's a massive time difference between each shot lol
the bit from 30:34 to about 30:40, "Maru is completely in the DARK.", I love it.
30:38: "maru is completely in the dark" and no "see what i did there" or a awkward laughter because of that terrible terrible pun? what's wrong?!?!
thought the same!!!!! :D
worst video ever. unsubbed, unliked and reported to to memory hole this whole video. AGH!
Rest of the games, Dark was completely in the Maru.
Yeah, exactly, I was just about to write the same thing. Like... what happened to Lowko? That was a perfect terrible pun.
I totally see what you did there you dirty little thing. *awkward laughter*
@30:38 "Maru is completely in the Dark" Whoa now Lowko, easy with the innuendo/puns🤣🤣🤣
Lowko throwing his arms up and just yelling "SUSCRIBE!" because it actually works is the highlight of my week. XD
He did be do that
so true
43:18 "Then again, you're not dealing with the average terran warrior anymore. Maru has risen above and become a legend! The legend that Dark fears. That's right, Maru has become a Super Terran!"
Frieza: Get my ship to Koprulu sector, we going monkey hunting!
"Oh my god, We've been here before!"
These guys really make it look like it's a different game. I can't imagine how they keep paying attention to everything at the same time.
the really be playing life with a 12 core cpu
At 50:15, I love how you whisper "I like it". Its like your a kid on Christmas morning and you are so excited and you cant express it.
At 1:06:31 nukes make their appearance on the production tab right as Lowko is wanting to see nukes. That means that Maru and Lowko really are close buds.
Lowko, I found your channel a couple months ago, and I've got to say You're one of my favorite YTers these days. Keep up the phenomenal work
Same I also found this channel just a couple of months ago and I love it
I’ve been watching Lowko for years and I’ve never played Star Craft. He is such a happy sounding guy
I really hope Yters stands for yeeters

GREAT CAST!!!! 1:06:56 is exactly my reasoning for not being on the ladder since 2013. It's much more satisfying to watch games like this.
actually I like to believe Marines and Marauders are made with stims, and the research is like an activation protocol - so during the research, the "stim protocol" is being synced and activated in those suits so it can be remotely used by operating commander on demand. :-)
Maybe stim is like a Tesla software update. The capability is there but you need to pay for the upgrade to unlock it...

The map of Blackburn has a lot of red in it - both the terrain and the slowing circles

The problem is there are never any juicy targets in the slow zones.

These games were amazing. I agree with what you said about Maru flowing between styles. He takes it to the next level
Lowko, even though I never posted it, I do remember you saying years ago that Terrans should throw in a few Ghosts with late-game mech, and I agreed with you all the way back then. It's great to see Maru finally prove you right!
Daaang. A rare occasion I was rooting for dark cause Maru is just so scary. They both mind game hard. Maru even built a raven 😎 epic Games

When swarm hosts drop eggs their offspring be like 'Hello everyone my name is Locust'.
*grabs lunch and sits down*
I need something to watch...oh, it's after 2, should be a new Lowko video about now...nice.
I love Battlecruisers.
Fantastic show from both players, but obviously the player who gives me those nice Yamato vvvvjjjiiiiiiiiiiiiii sounds is my fav.

Best part of these video's is Lowko laughing at his own bad jokes (which actually makes it funny).
Oh, goodie, another 69-minute best-of-5 Lowko cast! *schedule status: cleared*
The terran get the marines into the barracks with a series of caves mined by SCVs. That's how the recruits and materials get to the buildings for training. Please await my upcoming SC2 fan fiction "Tales of Terran Tunnels" for more information.
That awkward moment when a bunch of marines going through their tunnels stumbles upon a bunch of zerg moving through the nydus network tunnels...
I like how you point the Baneling Speed Incident out over a course of 5 minutes Lowko :D
The last nuke in the last game went onto production as Lowko said “nuke”. Amazing
Maybe Lowko is Maru's long-lost cousin?
I like listening to you while I study or play starcraft, been picking up and playing RTS again and having a break from other strategy games, TFT and all plus Rpg and moba.
That was awesome! So great to see uncommon strategies with mech and the swarm hosts.
I'm pretty sure Maru Knows who you are lowko, you're a god-tier level commentator.
YOOO, LETSSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOOOO, MARU VS DARK
Best predictions for Katowice:
1. Maru
2. Reynor
3. Serral
@Justus Hunter Rogue has been underperforming in the past year he doesn't look so good, I think if any zerg has a chance to defeat Maru that would be Dark
That last game is definitely the best game I have seen in a while!!
What an amazing series! Thank you very much for the awesome casting as always, great job!
Lowko, in south Korea , the Korean word for "four" sounds much like their word for "death." So in Korea they avoid number 4 because is bad lucky
Thank you for the consistently great SC2 content, just finished all your playthroughs from WC3 all the way to LotV and it was a great ride thank you!
Barracks in fact only release marines from processed mineral chunks, where they were imprisoned long ago by evil wizards at Blizzard
“Step Thor.” I went from watching intensely to laughing my ass off!
Such a good game to watch, love seeing the crazy moves pro player pull off. Perfect casting as well Lowko, I look forward to every one of your videos!

Other Terrans: Ghosts and Ravens are too expensive when playing mech.
Maru: Hold my beer.
Lowko: YAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!
They're really not when you compare how much a Tank costs.
ghosts are completely broken just look at this 26:28

drinking game: a shot every time Lowko says "banger"
"I hope we see the nuke actually fired, so many build so many tactical nukes but never actually use them"
-> Sentences that aged really well in 2022!
Maru cleaning up those creep tumors like a model janitor 👌
or Super Mario Sunshine 😄
Was .... was that a raven? I thought those were just legends 🤣
I thoroughly enjoy your song parodies. More please!
Lowko plays with his wizard stick 51:57

He literally put the title as he said hahaha, I love this guy
Very fun series! Thanks Lowko!!
53:00 I haven't seen a swarm host game is so long i literally forgot they exsisted lol

ahahah
I appreciate the alliteration in the title
In the top 10 maru stands alone amongst a sea of Zerg
39:26 "I think you hit someone's dog sarge!"
Lowko, you asked for more Battlecruisers lately. And now Maru deliver them :)
Great cast. Thx!

Phenomenal cast with lot of info to learn from ;)
When you explained how u did the intro it really made me smile, espeacially becuase its still the intro :)
Keep it Low-Ko (bc "-" are cool xD )
Man I just can’t get enough of maru so cool
I’m here for when lowko calls maru “sus” at about 42:05
Remember to like and subscribe! No shame in it Lowko, people just need a reminder!
Gosh, this cast was hilarious XD. Just some awful zingers sprinkled throughout, good stuff.
Keep it up Lowko! Loving your casts! And SUBSCRIBE
lowko youre great i love your casting the most of all
maru comletly in the dark... nice one lowko.
"So Maru, what tech do you think you'll go for this game?" Maru: "Yes."
Yeah, he was going to end the game on 3-3-3-3-3 upgrade as well had Dark not gg at that moment.
Noooo! No camera on yourself! I really enjoy these commentaries!
Snipe on Ultralisks has always bothered me. Should be the one zerg unit that's just too thick headed to be able to be sniped to give them some hope of game impact lol
Now i want lowko to cast at 3 am in the morning.
that scv has lived to tell the tale
Dark is my favorite Zerg player, glad to see he's still going hard. Don't here about em as much.
Really? He won a GSL a few months back.
Ok, I had to look up who wrote the music for SC II and one of the guys worked on Looney Toons, Animaniacs, and Batman the animated series. You can definitely hear the influence when you listen to the horns, reminding me of the Batman intro, and xylophone, clearly reminiscent of Animaniacs intro.

"He did be" should definitely be the standard
Am I the only one that heard him say, something something "four more otters"? Hehe
No hate, love this channel!
an hours worth of ZVT with Maru? *yes please!*
man....that last game....:D
30:38: "Maru is completely in the Dark at this point"
No, no. Not yet.
Been watching for a minute...I always forget to subscribe to channels I like. I'm subscribed now cause you screamed it out xD
TvZ check Maru vs Dark check 1+hour video check snacks check LESS GOOO
I forgot to sub thanks for the reminder from my favorite sc2 caster
Tea going cold is a real tragedy.
48:00 that point in a movie where they say the title.
I find it rather amusing that when maru plays against EU pros, he is defensive most of the time and then wins with a surprise counter. But here in chilling Korean arena, nope, just casually expanding to half the map.
I feel like I should choose a toss or an American, but Maru has always been my favorite SC2 player. I hope he wins the championship one of these days
