Being in the missile turret is like living on a boat. You develop sea legs and get used to the motion. Once you step back on land you feel the lack of motion and have to readjust to normalcy. Also it’s nice that they keep the guys employed when hi-sec auto tracking ai research shows up.
I highly appreciate you to cast a nearly 2 hour series. Along with all the other things that make your videos nice to watch, it's the minimum I can do to give the videos a thumbs up
About the 'upside-down' glasses- the brain *already* flips your vision by default: If there's a flashlight in the bottom of your field of view, that light is hitting the top of your retina(the back half of your eye that registers it)
34:37 I LOVE this topic because we see that so much in StarCraft. Back in, say, 2014 - 2015, when FlaSh was playing StarCraft 2, he had this crazy build where he would get his engineering bays SUPER early. I've adapted that build to LotV decently I think, but I still struggle to make it work outside of specific scenarios. It really makes you think that maybe the strategy works so well because it's a specialized build made by and for a specific player, so only they would really understand all the caveats.
'Received back feed' or 'got back fed' is what I would go with 1:38:30. I'm becoming a regular watcher. Love these video's Lowko! Also a RuneScape fan here!
'I, Mensk' (StarCraft II novel by Graham McNeill) My favourite Starcraft novel so far. Made the guy way more understandable and his fall so much more tragic.
Can confirm missile turrets do spin the opposite direction for us. Terran Dominion can't take control of Australia because it doesn't exist, we are all paid actors. Fun fact though jokes aside, there is a desk in the Austrian Airport dedicated to people which book plane tickets to Austria instead of Australia lol.
Lowko "maybe he's like a super saijain youknow. He's gotta get punched in the face a couple of times before his hair gets gold and starts levitating" then calming starts talking about probes and moves on. This guy rules!!!
Great series! I feel like both players were very wary of the potential for long games so they chose lower tech, energy-conserving strategies. Which actually helps viewers too since the series wasn't as long as we could've expected it to be
The second part of the upside-down goggle study is that after they took the goggles off, they saw the world upside-down again. Their brains had to re-adjust to normal vision.
You are a very kind man! If you were mean you'd have casted another final Maru recently "played" in (not sure if "play" is the correct word here, since it implies that he actually participated. Which is questionable^^) Thank's for casting, looking forward to watch it :)
The reason why the Terran marines are similar to 40K space marines is because StarCraft was originally supposed to be a Warhammer 40K RTS. Blizzard couldn't get the license for it, thus StarCraft was born.
Common misconception. By the time Starcraft was being developed, Blizzard and Games Workshop were far separated. I believe there is some truth to the story that Warcraft was supposed to be a strategy 40k game, but I'm not sure. I'd be happy to see a source for the claim, but I've never seen one, and every time I see the question, it is never backed up with any real evidence.
Aha! What did I tell you? I knew Bo9's were going to be played sooner or later! With Maru?! *Chef's kiss* Thanks Lowko! 15:18 thanks Lowko, I was busy opening a gossner's boxed milk :D 44:12 The tamest variant, the greediest variant would be 4 Gateways. ;D 44:35 Lowko: StarCraft fans love when maps are created underwater, so things float up 44:58 Medivac: *and I took that personally* hahahahaha! Actually...why is it that some units float up, but not all? 1:00:56 don't worry Lowko, We're all insane, keep casting Bo9's....sparingly tho, lol if I remember correctly, Immortals are dead templar? I'm thinking of Fenix when I say this...... 1:13:46 Maru's looking at that fight....I'd say fatigue was definitely the factor there that missile turret guy story was insane! Also that last match.....very well played.
If you listen to all of the cinematics in the campaign it teaches you quite a bit. The immortals are the consciousness of a former Protoss that has been saved and implanted into the purifier shell that is an Immortal, hence the name. Same thing applies to the Sentry.
55:27 To answer your question about the Terran Dominion. Whether or not they would take Australia. The answer is yes, because Terran buildings can fly and islands are op.
@lowko about 54:00 - I suggest an experiment. Get into a missile turret replica, rotate 24/7 for a week next time you take a break from recording and let's find out if you adapt! 😂
StarCraft was originally going to be a war hammer game, but the project got scrapped shortly before they finished. They decided to change some things around enough to not be copyright infringement, and released it as StarCraft. I’d recommend Heaven’s Devils by William Dietz and Devil’s Due by Christie Golden. Tells the story of Jim Raynor before the Sara planets get glassed by the protoss
You did a good job of making videos in advance! did not even notice you was gone :D! Like i know you talked about it in some of the other videos! but still! Just saying Good job Lowko. ^_^!
Surprised and glad to hear you reading Horus heresy. I read them all to, and when I tried to read one SC-Book, I got bored after 15 pages... So I hope im not missing much.
1:03:40 and there you are standing in a turret in the middle of nowhere "giving vision" and enemy 140 supply rolls over you without any support from your army. Thats pretty grim fate) Unless you're the base turret. Then you just chill and scare off prisms and medivacs.
I believe immortals contain the consciousness of fallen zealots that were once in dragoons. The shrines that were used to make the conversation from zealots into dragoons (maybe high templar as well?) were lost when Aiur fell to the zerg, so the remaining dragoons were upgraded to Immortals with beefed up shields, etc.
Regarding missile turret man; that much constant spinning would probably interfere with proper blood flow and cause a stroke or other seriously health problems after long enough.
As an Australian, I can tell you, Turrets would spin the way they were designed, not the way you would flush your toilet. True fact. Since they are not water based flushing in a direction.
Stutter-steppers should be damaging themselves half the time because when you look at them move, they are literally shooting below at their feet half the time
Fun fact, the gravitational pull is so low that the water doesn't spin the opposite direction in a different hemisphere. The water would drain dtraight down, but toilets have angled spoutd which direct the water either to the right or left. What matters is the direction that the water is ejected into the bowl. Those people on the equator collecting tips to show you the water going the opposite direction, is basically a scam and isnt actually located on the equator. They pour the water into the basin in the required direction, or for the basin "on" the equator they wait for the water to settle before pulling the plug to see it frsin straight down.
Dragoons and Immortals house fallen protoss to continue their service for the emper- I mean aiur. Zerg are underpowered tyranids with kerrigan attached. Marines are imperial guard with big armor. They have power armor which is where the similarities with space marines end rather abruptly.
To answer your lore questions, Dragoons, Stalkers, and Immortals are all cybernetic. They're injured or reborn Protoss now fused to a machine to keep fighting.
I think the turret dudes would get used to spinning in the turrets. They'll have something like "sea legs" when you get out though. That's why Jack Sparrow runs like he does. He's got "sea legs".
Lowko always says that emp would be nerfed if it had a more "impressive" visual, but keep in mind it was nerfed a few balance patches ago where the emp radius was reduced
The only way Protoss players flush value faster than donating motherships is by delivering a steady stream of disruptors directly into a gunline without even launching a nova. It's more heartbreaking than watching bad Terrans lead a push with their siege tanks and/or running the bio behind them during the engage.
1:07:09 Bruh, what? Immortals are literally just new model of dragoons - they stick a Protoss who fell in there. Have you neve clicked on the unit and seen the portrait of a Toss swimming in a big fishtank (complete with a goldfish)? I know you played the campaigns and in Legacy you have a mission with Karax saying how he can't free the pilot from being brainwashed, but can take over the robot suit. 1:08:43 Yo. I got three SC novels I picked up back in like 2003, along with four Diablo and like seven Warcraft around the same time, with three more for Diablo some years ago. I can tell you one of the SC ones specifically had a plotpoint where they were in some abandoned station and were trying to get a missile turret up and running and I doubt anyone climbed up to sit in it. Maybe they retconned it since then, maybe not.
I know you look at your statistics, and I have no doubt pro matches get more views than player submitted (I dunno why), but I’d LOVE more view submitted videos. The silliness is more entertaining to me. Love pro games too, but it’s almost just a game of counting the mistakes… which are few.
But viewer submitted games are basically the opposite except worse... Do many mistakes and generally only entertain if there is salt or a wild nuke etc. Plus there is no continuity with the players. It is like professional sports, most people watch the professional league, despite the semi pros still having games. Watching these games isn't about counting the mistakes it is about seeing the very best moves and strategies that get pulled off. It is like going to the Louvre but for nerds.

Hi Lowko, this is everyone
man in the turret, thanks for all these little things that make your cast so much fun to watch.
epic rant.
Being in the missile turret is like living on a boat. You develop sea legs and get used to the motion. Once you step back on land you feel the lack of motion and have to readjust to normalcy.
Also it’s nice that they keep the guys employed when hi-sec auto tracking ai research shows up.
A raven, A medivac, and a Cyclone walk into a bar... :D
That bar must be HUGE to fit those three
@@tolamhinthe medivac pilot has been trying to lose weight.
Funny cause none of them can walk XD
if is the actress playing Raven Reyes in the movie the100 , i shall walk in that bar too :DD
Aussie here, can confirm our missile turrets do spin backwards.
This is mostly to avoid our Kangaroos from running into them😢
You know the player is in trouble when you here "Ai yai yai" from Lowko
Lowko certainly took a break and indulged in some of those dutch comodities between match five and 6
I highly appreciate you to cast a nearly 2 hour series. Along with all the other things that make your videos nice to watch, it's the minimum I can do to give the videos a thumbs up
What an incredible series. Definitely coming back to this one for future re-watches.
About the 'upside-down' glasses- the brain *already* flips your vision by default: If there's a flashlight in the bottom of your field of view, that light is hitting the top of your retina(the back half of your eye that registers it)
I hereby propose that we refer to the 4 gateway blink Stalker build as the "4-Blinker" build from now on.
Me and my friends always call it the Blink 4
I heard you need to win a Starcraft game of your girlfriend's father in Korea to marry her - imagine trying to marry Maru's daughter
Serral marrying Maru's 4 daughters
Imagine having to beat Serral in minigolf to marry his daughter?!

Fair enough, you love to see it

My favourite Starcraft novel so far. Made the guy way more understandable and his fall so much more tragic.
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Appreciate the hard work you do.
this was better than many movies I recently watched. thanks Lowko
incredible series and the last game was the epicest! thanks for the HUGE BIG unload to the youtube!
Wow, you showed the start of the games. It was nice to see that commitment . Change is good.
Thanks for uploading a best of 9!
I loved the story time 1:14:00 :)
same
Lowko all talking about grow lights for "vegetables" and the World spinning xD
Can confirm missile turrets do spin the opposite direction for us. Terran Dominion can't take control of Australia because it doesn't exist, we are all paid actors.
Fun fact though jokes aside, there is a desk in the Austrian Airport dedicated to people which book plane tickets to Austria instead of Australia lol.
I can’t wait for you to cast some more SC evolution. I’ve been really enjoying the whole SC1 vs SC2 dynamic.
Lowko "maybe he's like a super saijain youknow. He's gotta get punched in the face a couple of times before his hair gets gold and starts levitating" then calming starts talking about probes and moves on. This guy rules!!!
Lol. Turret guy! Upside down glasses😂. Gold!
1:41:35 I got that reference! Runescape for life (although I go all the way back to RS classic where rune chain was the strongest armor in the game 😎)
Great series! I feel like both players were very wary of the potential for long games so they chose lower tech, energy-conserving strategies. Which actually helps viewers too since the series wasn't as long as we could've expected it to be
Hope you enjoyed your time off Lowko! and your ear mends up nicely!
The second part of the upside-down goggle study is that after they took the goggles off, they saw the world upside-down again. Their brains had to re-adjust to normal vision.
You are a very kind man!

That game 3 worker pull was crazy
Terran still as op as ever. Love it
The reason why the Terran marines are similar to 40K space marines is because StarCraft was originally supposed to be a Warhammer 40K RTS. Blizzard couldn't get the license for it, thus StarCraft was born.

Aha! What did I tell you? I knew Bo9's were going to be played sooner or later!
With Maru?!
*Chef's kiss*
Thanks Lowko!
15:18
thanks Lowko, I was busy opening a gossner's boxed milk :D
44:12
The tamest variant, the greediest variant would be 4 Gateways. ;D
44:35
Lowko: StarCraft fans love when maps are created underwater, so things float up
44:58
Medivac: *and I took that personally* hahahahaha! Actually...why is it that some units float up, but not all?
1:00:56
don't worry Lowko, We're all insane, keep casting Bo9's....sparingly tho, lol
if I remember correctly, Immortals are dead templar? I'm thinking of Fenix when I say this......
1:13:46
Maru's looking at that fight....I'd say fatigue was definitely the factor there
that missile turret guy story was insane! Also that last match.....very well played.
What is on Hero's star icon? Are those angry eyes w/o pupils? It's weirding me out
great series!
28:00 I kept sending my prob out to build on one of these “islands”. And every time I’m like “what are you talking it’s blocked? I see it”
If you listen to all of the cinematics in the campaign it teaches you quite a bit. The immortals are the consciousness of a former Protoss that has been saved and implanted into the purifier shell that is an Immortal, hence the name. Same thing applies to the Sentry.
If you ever feel bad about your day, remember that Vienna airport in Austria has a counter for people who thought they were flying to Australia.
Really?
55:27 To answer your question about the Terran Dominion. Whether or not they would take Australia. The answer is yes, because Terran buildings can fly and islands are op.
@lowko about 54:00 - I suggest an experiment. Get into a missile turret replica, rotate 24/7 for a week next time you take a break from recording and let's find out if you adapt! 😂

@lowkotv 18:05 I got it, you get lasered, you get blown away, smooth like a reaper going through a mineral line
You did a good job of making videos in advance! did not even notice you was gone :D! Like i know you talked about it in some of the other videos! but still! Just saying Good job Lowko. ^_^!

Unless you're the base turret. Then you just chill and scare off prisms and medivacs.
51:55 @lowkotv actually we are flying on an object that moves and rotates all the time
1:09:00 starcraft was actually supposed to be a warhammer game but got cancelled last minute. blizz decided to retouch and publish anyway
"Digging a moat w/ planes" lowko logic 😂
Lowko, the turrets don't cost supply, so there is no one in there! From the SC Field Manual, the turrets are "Capable of automatic operation".
great one! another!
The dutch guy not knowing how deep the ocean is makes so much sense :D you feel the need to reclaim that land from the sea, don't you Lowko 😂
I believe immortals contain the consciousness of fallen zealots that were once in dragoons. The shrines that were used to make the conversation from zealots into dragoons (maybe high templar as well?) were lost when Aiur fell to the zerg, so the remaining dragoons were upgraded to Immortals with beefed up shields, etc.

Thanks for the awesome vid! They should really put in a Culinaromancer map in sc2 so everybody can get your reference
Just recently finished the Horus Heresy in it's entirity. Great series.
Australia does have a lot of mountains Lowko. You could go skiing there this weekend if you were able to fly.
I knew there were Bo7 in finals but a Bo9 is pretty wild.
Stutter-steppers should be damaging themselves half the time because when you look at them move, they are literally shooting below at their feet half the time
4 blinker had me cracking up 😅
32:00 hero must just enjoy microing stalkers 😂
Lowko If you want your mind blow, dig out why Warhamer had massive rename of military units some time ago

1:09:50 "what are you doing, step-prism?"
"Immortals! We'll put their name to the test!"
If I was Missile Turret Man, I would be so dizzy
I find your missile turret man discourse fascinating 😀
Dragoons and Immortals house fallen protoss to continue their service for the emper- I mean aiur. Zerg are underpowered tyranids with kerrigan attached. Marines are imperial guard with big armor. They have power armor which is where the similarities with space marines end rather abruptly.
Anyone else think "best of (2x-1)" is the least efficient way to say "first to x" or "x to win"?
Why make everyone do the math each time?
You make a lot of sense, brother. "Best of" is not the very efficient way of communicating win conditions.
are you suggesting that missile turrets spin due to the coriolis force?
I'm sitting here being like "wait, have I ever checked for a monster under my bed?... I don't think so..."
So thought provoking
To answer your lore questions, Dragoons, Stalkers, and Immortals are all cybernetic. They're injured or reborn Protoss now fused to a machine to keep fighting.
54:10 someone is streaming from Amsterdam today? :D Lowko, Lowko...
How high was Lowko during the missle turret/australia tangent?
1:45 minutes seems long but we've had lots of games in best of 5s or best of 7s that last ~40 minutes.
Please more StarCraft Evolution Lowko!
They should make distrupter novas move just a lil bit faster
They need to add .75 sec to the resume fire rate of terran bio on the stepback.
I think the turret dudes would get used to spinning in the turrets. They'll have something like "sea legs" when you get out though. That's why Jack Sparrow runs like he does. He's got "sea legs".
Nodding along to the buildup, dark archons... dragoons... wait... what year is it?
both loko and her0 missed the sick reaper micro at 55:45.
Could you please do an video ranking of each unit or one with all three races as I think it would be very interesting
Am i the only one who see a "Bulls head" on the mini map of Hero´s base at 2:25 in the last game?? (Amphion)
RuneScape reference. Respect.
1:41:20 the 100th quest of course!
About the length of the game; there is currently a raid race going on in Destiny 2, it’s 18 hours in without a winner
Lowko always says that emp would be nerfed if it had a more "impressive" visual, but keep in mind it was nerfed a few balance patches ago where the emp radius was reduced
Do missile turrets men dream of spinning command centers ?
Your REM cover was pretty neat, ngl.
I like your notion that Hero is the best worst SC2 player in the world.
Terran just op
