Finally, the Harstem gambit, catching one of the best zerg players in the world off guard with a cannon rush and messing up the free win with an artosis pylon
@@kindlin and hopefully one day, people will use that term without knowing what a pylon is either. "Haha, bro, you're actin like a total artosis pylon"
I usually don't comment and I have been on YT for over 10 years now... BUT I HAVE TO comment and tell you LowKo that your videos and casting is an absolute blast to watch to, you are truly doing a phenomenal work and I love every cast you do! Been watching for years now and it's such a joy every-single-time. Keep up the good work and do not let yourself think anything else! Love you man! BONUS suggestion just for you, since you asked for it in a previous video: Instead of saying "putting all eggs in one basket" you can say "concentrating all the resources in one place"
11:30 Your observing is one of the best in Sc2 Lowko and even in eSports in general and your commentary is one of the most entertaining. I always look forward to these videos!
in the 4th game when Harstem was building carriers, Lowko said he is buying time untill carriers arrive. It caught my attention because normally you would say build. I think because the voice line for finishing carrier production is "Carrier has arrived." so Lowko has played so much StarCraft that subconsciously says arrive after carrier. There is a part of the brain which has the color of StarCraft.
I really enjoy the time when a new patch comes out and pros start using unusual strats and units that dont really get seen, like dropperlords or motherships. Really makes the game more engaging then watching the same build orders with the odd wrench thrown in (Cough Cough Dark Cough)
Total biscuit used to upload videos much longer than the series so you couldn't know who won by the time you have left, I would love if you could do it as well, or ask the audience if they want it
As far as i know, Reynor and Harstem are very close friends too. I bet they train together a lot. I bet they are very very familiar with each other's playstyle, that's why we have those crazy strategies!
5th game, Harstem keeps warping in adepts against roach/ravager, with a few lings. Yea, I guess those adepts did get into mineral lines to kill drones, but continuing to warp adepts in instead of stalkers doesn't seem optimal.
Harstem put his POV of this series on his channel a week ago. The artosis pylon gave him clinical depression. Vid title - "I Used this BROKEN Cannon rush spot in a TOURNAMENT"
@@LowkoTV Agreed; it makes the big eight-supply units more special that way. It's still kind of spoiled by Ultras being so awful, especially compared to BCs and Carriers; even with their "buff" I think I've only seen one game since the patch where they aren't just a prelude to the Zerg losing. Maybe make them take half damage to snipe and disruptor, and/or let them attack air too (like King Kong swatting planes out of the air; it'd be hilarious!)
only making 1 spore crawler per base if the enemy makes harassing air units is one of the dumbest brain-fart concepts in SC2. I have never seen a single game where doing that has not ended in loosing more than if you just built 2, with the only exceptions being when the harassing player makes a mistake or a few of them. It's just plain dumb. make two and loose 1 drone for every oracle or make 1 and loose around 3 drones for 0 oracles. Like why on earth would you ever do that? Having two spores also lessens the time and energy you have to put down in thinking about the security of your mineral lines.

Have not watched SC2 in like 10 years, love that it's still called an Artosis pylon haha
@@69zirc he's literally never gonna live that one down.
@@baron2062 Yeah, it's only the _good_ plays we let die. We don't call it Maynarding drones anymore. :(
@@69zirc I don't doubt there are people using the term _artosis pylon_ without knowing who Artosis is.

For what looked like a sweep that turned into a very good series!
The fight at 44:27 was a beautiful thing. That shield battery was going to TOWN on those Archons, lol.

aha, an hour-long Bo5 with a cannon rush start!
I've got my popcorn
*Let's do this*
Great series by Mr Reynor. Bravo! props to Harstem too, playing toe to toe against one of the very bests.
58:55 At this exact moment I said out loud "Come on, counterattack, GO!"
So hard to watch this video again with Harstem messing up the cannon rush.
Harstem! So cool to see him taking games of Reynor! He really deserves it!
Harstem might not be the fastest pro player, nor the most strategic, nor most sane, nor most stable, but he sure is one of the most entertaining. :D
Honestly, even if Lowko calls it bad viewing. Still really impressed he caught 3 things that happened simultaneously.
Dude I think I've seen this game Harstem was so mad about the pylon. RIP. Definitely cast more Harstem
It has been so long since you started a video by saying hello everyone my name is lowko.
It warms my heart. Thanks.
Ive been watching 240+ IODIS episodes the past month. Harstem and Reynor are great :D

I would love if you casted Kelazhur vs Disk or Kelazhur vs Astrea. Messy as hell but really fun few series
I love that Harstem is getting better. I want to see him become a great player at the top.
Nice Lowko! Keep it up
That canon rush man.. it was all perfect but the missing winning pylon
one of the best dutch casters too!!
To think that Harstem would've sent Reynor to the loser's bracket if he didn't make that ONE mistake with the cannon rush. Would've been sick
If Reynor went to the losers bracket, he would've just lost to Clem earlier. Either bracket, he'd still meet Clem and lose.
whoooooosssssssh @@N0noy1989
This felt like that Simpsons episode where Krusty bets against the globetrotters
Kelazhur x Astrea, best of 7. It was a great series

Lowko- hello everyone, my name is Lowko
Me-YES!!!! ITS BACK!!!!!!
13:07 the leaves on the right look like a woman looking at an overlord in her hand
Can’t believe I waited almost 24 hours to watch this video
Did reynor ever do the extractor trick expansion I don’t remember seeing many games with him doing that
A few times but no regularly
I always love Lowko casting Harstem or Thermy. I wonder if this is on Harstem's channel now.
Harstem put his POV of this series on his channel a week ago. The artosis pylon gave him clinical depression. Vid title - "I Used this BROKEN Cannon rush spot in a TOURNAMENT"
@@genericadjectivenounname9001 Ah yes I did see that pop up in my feed, I'll to go watch it!
what does uGGu mean?
ShoWTimE x HeroMarine from the ESL SC2 Masters Winter 2023 Regionals was a great series
What the hell are the people saying? Can anyone elaborate?
too much tiktok!
Is poisoned his mind. Too much television.
Wait, what meme or reference am I missing?
Lowko, Harstem, Reynor, CANNON RUSH - well, what am I supposed to do but click?
Ahhhh faaaaaack, I was so much cheering for Harstem, I thought he had it in the bag!
Lowko where did your nickname came from? In my language lowko is something like creizy "Crazy" did you get from that?
Love how Lowko says “RUclips”. YouChewbe 😜
haha this title is gold
Hey lowko. If I mail you five hersheys kisses would you do a double upload of casts for an entire week😱
All Hail the king Harstem
Wow, the warping Photon Cannon SHOULD NOT continue it's warp in progress when out of Pylon energy
I think Reynor let up in the stick in games 3 and 4
We need more capital ships in pro tourneys.
They were the go to for many years, I like them much better as a more niche unit personally

Harstem Thank you for using storm more!!!
You mena, when it Reynors, it pours ... ha, haaaaaa
Baneling nerf is not fun imo.
Hero could learn from harstem on how to keep the front door shut
When it REYNS it poors.
why is everyone saying that they were shadowbanned lmao
