The main reason why Maxpax doesn't rush out Extended Thermal Lance is likely because he doesn't get the upgrade if his opponent's army can handle Colossi easily. If he sees that a zerg isn't going into melee upgrades for heavy ling play, then that means production of Armored units that can take on Colossi which means that he doesn't waste additional resources on an upgrade he's won't get much benefit over a different upgrade that will benefit his current army much more. If he doesn't need it, then he won't rush for it.

Not having the worker deaths showing up on the bottom left confused me so much. So much talk about damage being dealt and me going "what do you mean, there was 1 worker kill, clearly this is fine".

27:35 That sentry was such a hero. Broke my heart to see him go so unceremoniously. War is Hell

[matiasarieltorres]

I love it when they use THE LOWKO MANEUVER

[bricelory]

I do firmly like Mothership not being Abductable, but definitely believe Hydras need something like +1 range vs air with upgrade or something to make their anti-air just a bit more viable. Maybe they just need to mix in other options yet...I'm all for seeing new builds being played with.

[mikeez]

Oh I remember you hinting at this match-up in the last video. I'm expecting some absolute bangers!

[woodplank]

pretty funny to think that in yesterdays video, Astrea (Protoss) and ByuN (Terran), ByuN defended his mineral line with a single widow mine autotargetting and 1 shotting the first oracle compared to a 600apm zerg's queens and spore crawlers scrambling around tickling them

‏‪ ‏‪2:14 i think lowko is fall in love with maxpax, dude he cant stop him self from being a big fan for him

[hiddentruth]

I watch Lowko for the official games because I don't want to deal with the 5 hours of blabbering before and between the matches. I just want to see the games and enjoy the commentary during. Lowko is great at both.

[jackinthebox]

Bro, I'm sad you didn't follow up on that Oracle in the 2nd game. I'm pretty sure I saw it still flying around near the end of that game. It had to have had like 100 zergling kills.

[AlanChatham]

I remember watching a ton of your older videos when I first started watching SC2, and it seemed like half of StarCraft was played on Abyssal Reef :)

[muffin]

Hey lowko. I’ve been a huge fan of yours for a while, and I had an idea for something you could try doing. At the start of every episode, go over one unit, structure, or other feature. I think it would help new watchers better understand the game, and people who already understand the game could just skip it. Thanks!


Oh yeah and also first

In the losing battle previous to your comment @ 46:37 Raynor only used Infestors for shroud, so shroud+squirtalisk = 💀

The simpler and more readily available remedy is to fung the interceptors so the Hydra can actually target them and not just spin in circles.

Otherwise, ignore the interceptors, focus the Carriers.

Lowko manuver works well too!😅

[HitoSarg]

Reynor's micro is just on another level. That first game, with his control over 2-3 strategic roach groups, while fending off Max at the main base is nothing short of incredible and almost allowed him to reverse the tide on a game that Max was already clearly favored to win.

And the second game was just nuts. How the hell did he come back from that? Successfully fended off 4 f'ing carriers 7 minutes in with nothing but queens and spores. Then, after losing all those queens on the retreat, the clutch parasitic bomb just sealed the deal. Max really should have been more aggressive but Reynor played that so well.

This series was great: both the players and the casting!

[brentoncarmichael]

I've only seen two games in the series so far, but hot damn this might be the best SC2 match I've ever watched. Excellent cast Lowko

“Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, are given a chance to climb. They refuse, they cling to the realm or the gods or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is”
-Petyr “Littlefinger” Baelish

[tkn]

I don't think it to be unfair, that you can't win with just Hydra-Lurker against Carrier-Tempest-Storm.
Zergs will have to make the transition, just as Protoss have to do the transition when Lurkers hit the battlefield.

[jakubjózefowski-ob]

That thumbnail looks chaotic





Wait is that migrovial shrout

[mylucyrk]

The immortal didn't get a 10% damage nerf, it got a 10% firing speed nerf. Which is similar, but different

“Great video! I feel like Zerg’s anti-air options have become too hard to manage and less enjoyable, especially with the need to summon Corruptors. Corruptors feel useless if the opponent transitions, making them a risky choice. What if Brood Lords had an upgradable ability to summon Scourge from Starcraft 1? This would make both Corruptors and Brood Lords more viable and enjoyable, adding versatility to Zerg’s air game. Thoughts?”
