I hate this planetary fortress skin, it's really not obvious it's a planetary if you don't pay attention you can just run headfirst into it without realizing
Very good game ! Not the same control and speed as the GMs over there, but decision making and adaptation are quite good. Enjoyable a lot, nice pick @PiG !
Skyterran is pretty disgusting actually. Banshee speed "hyperflight rotors" is insanely good for harassment. It makes them go from 3.85 to 5.25. However no one gets it because it takes 121 seconds, which does make sense as to why you wouldn't get it. Banshee with vikings against protoss can be pretty nasty, simply because protoss don't really have amazing anti air. Against zerg can be good. Hydras have 5 range and banshee have 6 but the hydra can buy time for the mutas. A 1 base banshee rush against zerg can be devastating in the early game. Terran you force the Terran to use his scan instead of a mule to reveal the cloaked banshee. I believe 1 scan is equal to 3 scv's so early on can be a great edge.
Skyterran underrated composition! Special's been REALLY close to beating a lot of top Terrans lately with mass viking BC and just 1 factory building tanks - so much fun to watch these super different styles
Damn great video but sorry, you are so wrong about the chess analogy. Those GMs are bloody geniuses and I have seen them (on stream) doing some crazy stuff in crazy situations that were intentionally made up to confuse them. Even made up rules added to the normal game and they still are so capable to adapt.
I was referring to a study which I read about that explained what I said - GMs performed the same as low level chess players at remembering and recreating unfamiliar board states. I can't remember where I read about this It's no shade on chess players, obviously what they do is very impressive The point was this game is so far from the norm that your standard ability to apply pattern recognition and standard strategies to the situation is going to be wayyy lower than normal
A moment of silence for the nearly 20 SCVs that died unnecessarily to that first bane bust...
And for Lowko taking collateral damage
I love how this game was over after 5 minutes and still lasted 30 mins longer, with both players winning like 5 times
I never knew how much I needed to see a pack of swarm hosts chased down by a pack of widowmines, until this very day.
“Okay this is just silly” says PiG, when the entire game so far has been one of the silliest things I’ve seen for a long time. Delightful. Loved it.
I like how he started speed for banshee 3 times but never finnished it xD
its so nice of terran guy said ggwp after 37min game.
26:15 maybe not news to anyone else, but the Viking fires the missiles, but dies before they hit. The missiles do NOT do damage.
they did though, you can see it when you click on your time stamp
they literally do damage lol
Love that before any action happens the first bracket in the Hot Topic series is Silent v Echo.
"How 'bout I just toss your salad mate?" LOL
"Absolute Banger" is the new term to describe any fun cool game or play.
I believe Lowko has a copyright on the phrase "absolute banger".
"Bit of a sneezy sneeze"
Oh, Australia ... never change.
Most exciting game I've seen in months. Awesome back and forth and tech switches
11:20: Don't laugh at 2 Mutas, that's the strongest army on the map ;p
Impressive that the Zerg managed to pull through with 36 drones mining almost for the whole game.

yeah the brood war CC skin looks so silly lol
Awesome game and love the sportsmanship at the end.
i had to open the video to leave a comment that it has the best thumbnail ever
I was able to best a swarm host zerg by building uthermal mass raven and running by and dropping turrets around them and running away.

Sometimes the non pro games create such gems like this, i love it :D Thnx mate!
I think they should have agreed, after the PF killed the lings, to just pause it, take a minute to evaluate where they are, then pick it back up
Reapers are gassy... Don't toss their salad
What an exellent game. Cheers. 👍
I like stupid matchups like this soooo much.
Once upon a time there I had so stupid match that we switched base places in result.
12:10 that's not true. If you're gm in chess, you are more than capable of solving an esoteric puzzle, given a realistic depth.

Hydra have 6 range with the upgrade

This game should have ended at the 6 min mark. I hope the Terran doesn’t blow this.
lowko is gonn be having fun
What an awesome game!
Did you know the commuunity could technically morse code f urself by when they play minecraft?
I don't know about best game of the year but it's certainly the most hilarious.

oooorightoeightoraight
Almost unwatchable! Green... "I am going to build a million units, but ignore overseers and lose every one of them!"

Lmao
Mines don't work - so what - let's keep using them :)
