Thats how zerg should be played, in that last match. Overwhelming aggression, anything and everything to get to that main base, nydus, droppers.... That was some lore accurate play style imo, from both players there.
Props to Dark's nydus + dropperlord combo which is actually pretty clever! Dropping units helps the nydus worm spawn. If A) the nydus spawns, they're screwed or B) the drop fails, the nydus can be used to retreat. It's more expensive to get both but maybe they're secretly a match made in heaven...
Yeah, I think even if the nydus + drops get cleaned up it buys enough time for Dark to start the next attack. It’s was Clem moving to Darks tempo. GG all the way
you should try it...because u will understand how super human like these players are and because the game is a lot of fun campaign singleplayer is also very nice!
@@ingrudmessenger1193 I'm trying to play through the whole franchise atm, I did the OG SC1 and played a bit of broodwar but I've like 40 APM at best and not really improving so it's a slow process.
just wanted to point out the jokes that are always sprinkled here and there on almost all of the videos. this just proves the level of professionalism you have. especially in this video in the 2nd game for the SCV that returned home and no other fellow SCVs even congratulated him with the tremendous job on the other side. man that killed me haha. you have so much of them with all the videos. that’s why I love the content you make and been watching you for so many years. it almost feels like a ritual now. so much good emotions associated with your stuff. big up and keep it going 🦾😎
The lack of creep connecting the main base and the second base is such a Dark thing. Also the creep not covering the whole „islands“ is such a big part of many zergs, not bringing Tumors in the main base to be able to plant spore crawlers right on the edge. Give Zergs more creep range
47:45 Crazy how every map favors Terran >.> Maybe because Terran mechanics can’t be nerfed? They are the most versatile, transformer like race. Every unit can shoot anti air and ground, can fly, can transport easily, can cloak, has boosts, is fast in general, can get 10x dmg with fucking stim, can heal, can turtle, every unit has a special ability or passive, can actively repair etc
Crazy how zerg wins majority of tournaments anyway. It's almost like nerfing aggressive terran play with the widow mine instead of turtle play makes the game unplayable for high level terrans without addressing the power of the tank which is the menace of turtle terran. The game is still zerg favored at the highest level. Tournament level is not top level. Besides some maps the zergs have just thrown. Specifically on dynasty, there is no way that map is 70% terran favored unless the zerg is stupid enough to take the gold. 1 simple expansion pattern and zergs now win more often then terran on the map. The stats remain terran favored because of all the games already played where zerg takes the gold, however the recent winrate is zerg favored. Zerg is so very clearly favored in tvz if the zerg is competent enough to beat mass tank.
Yeah, i heard someone talk about this too (I think it was Rotti or maybe PiG). That Clem is practising against the koreans, since that is usually what he struggles the most against. (probably because of different metas etc and in EU, its most likely just Maxpax and Serral who can touch him) =)
OMG this series was games of the year so far, SOOO crazy. Loved it. Looking forward for the championship. If it's any close to this action it'll be amazing!!!!! That really was crazy good.
That comeback was so satisfying! Especially the 7 fresh mules-kill in the last game - never saw that in a pro game before. And it really spelled the start of the end for Clem. He was down almost 2000 minerals from that point on, i.e. ~35 marines less.
SCVs have 5 extra hp because they dont auto heal (drones) or have shields to regen (probes). Yes, they can repair one another, but that costs resources (minerals and build/gathering power).
You know whats crazy? Command and conquer had a button to spread out your units (x) to prevent your infantry from being run over and allow players to focus on the strategy part but starcraft 2, 12 years later, said 'naw, we want people to show us how fast they can press buttons if they want to succeed'... Also, why cant tanks run over zerglings?
I've recently picked up SC2 (again) and my muscle memory from C&C still prevails, so I'll still spam X when I want to split. Awesome to see someone else still knows this!
Later on, poor Steve the scv his gear caught fire during drop off of that last load of minerals. The whole Cc caught on fire, many perished. No pain worse than burning
burrow is one of the best upgrades a lot of zerg players fail to ever use. like it basically punishes terran and protoss players who never make a raven or probe but rather rely on oracles/scans and static defense.
You should try some tea some day. I drink coffee now only in the mornings, and then in the afternoon I go tea.. So I can flex with my tea selection, and not be all jittery all day from drinking 8 cups of coffee throughout the day.
probably he knows himself he´s playing better from behind. His supply Blocks, then Prod. 10 Ovis at a time ..the only cause it to give his opponent a bit of a lead :) .. also his map chioces sometimes , all the same tactics ^^
I'm curious: are there other games like Starcraft out there that are worth playing? A friend recommended Gates of Pyre, which I have checked out already, and it looks solid, but I sure still want more suggestions.
You know what Clem is doing the right thing, going to Korea. Perhaps it will work out while he is there, but if.. like Reynor.. he will probably come back stronger than ever. Probably just the vacation element?
Hey lowko, the video length sometimes spoils who wins. Maybe you should consider putting random other matches at the end of videos to hide the ending of a series. A bit deceptive and you'll have to fish out more replays but we get to see more starcraft.
Why isn’t this a “Game of the Year”... Based on the “Ping” ! LOL... it’s like the weather patterns delivering once in 100 year storms multiple times every season and once in a 1000 years storms every year... ❤️🤣LOL
I mean Loko called out the imbalance of TvZ. Zerg is not like it once was. SC2 is not a fair fight. Mark my words, the World Cup will be TvP from at least the quarterfinals and onward.
Regarding how long matches typically last, I have an AITA moment here. So I had a match where by the 10 minute mark I was in a bad spot that I knew I probably couldn't get out of. I was considering tapping out and getting on with the next game when my opponent threw and offensive gg. I dragged that shit out for more than an hour in response. AITA?
Yes. You're an asshole. Just think about it. You intentionally inconvenienced yourself and another person for over an hour because you got triggered over two letters.
It seems like that last match, Clem was just burnt out. The mistakes and such he was doing were very uncharacteristic vs. what we've seen him do before. Lowko you keep saying these long series are about stamina well... I think Clem was just completely out of steam, good fight though. Dark was just on it especially in that last match, absolutely relentless
@@Pin9t2he isnt helping, dont want spoilers, go for full screen and skip the comments , duh, is just that simple but somehow we have people like u sucking that guy dick just for a "shield" LOL
Instead of listening to music, I put on a game of starcraft, and drop it in my pocket. Multitasking what not. Lowko, Pig, Uthermal.. and then.. harstem and winter.. There should be a channel on Pandora, "best of sc podcasts." Yea, Maru needs some pep talk. Clem needs to look at Oliveira and get even more creative. Or.. I'm pretty sure once they can step it up, if.. it's going to be a bit boring because it's TvT at that point. Or dark can step it up. Actually.. Dad Dark is even better huh! Dark is a possible to say the least. Yea. I'm starting to become a believer, & then I'm just kidding I will bet on him right now over all but Serral. Of course I'm aware Dark has military service coming up so.. Someone needs to take it from Serral, that's for darn certain. Lol nm. The goat is probably in next level already, if they don't infringe on him too much. Military service! Probably drone work;).
i think it was a very hard fought battle, and with these current map statistics you could even make the point that zerg is currently slightly underpowered
The lowko voice pack should have his imitation of the terran scan instead of the actual terran scan audio

I see Dark. I click.
First 36 min of this vid was Dark warming up 😂
Such a good match. That last game was truly the spirit of the lore of the Swarm overrunning a planet. Brilliant!
I've never played SC2 in my life.
Still watching almost every upload.
you should try it...because u will understand how super human like these players are and because the game is a lot of fun campaign singleplayer is also very nice!
same bro haha
It's free
I don't like playing pvp, but the campaign is great (although imho Starcraft 1 + Broowdwar was better storywise). Still worth giving a try though :)

@@ghosthamster6521 ZERG CABAL IS REAL TERRAN MAFIA RISE UP
Every unit? It's mostly marine marauder medivac tank and ghost
Clem is in Korea to train for EWC according to the French casters
C’est comeback qui a dit ça ?
Yeah, i heard someone talk about this too (I think it was Rotti or maybe PiG). That Clem is practising against the koreans, since that is usually what he struggles the most against. (probably because of different metas etc and in EU, its most likely just Maxpax and Serral who can touch him) =)

Hey, you are getting better at "lu-lu-lu"ing terrans radars!
"it's not dark roast though. it's not clem roast either"
That comeback was so satisfying! Especially the 7 fresh mules-kill in the last game - never saw that in a pro game before. And it really spelled the start of the end for Clem. He was down almost 2000 minerals from that point on, i.e. ~35 marines less.
Gotta hand it to you Lowko: Normally I don't buy your video titles anymore, but this one is aptly named.
"the game looked amazing for Clem!" - camera lights get ominous - until it didn't!
That last game was lore accurate. Just Zerg EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME nonstop. Amazing cast as always, Lowko!
Paris Olympics opening ceremony? Put it to the second screen and watch more Lowko.
The ceremony is at best third screen content.
at around @15:45 he calls the widow mines 'widow means' and now I think I'll just call them that from now on.
Widow meme*
@@LowkoTV :D

I insta liked when he reminded me lol ty Lowko
Don't worry Flowko, I won't miss this video!
The way Dark caught all those reapers, what an astounding player.
I remember when Terran 1.1.1 was called the "Destiny Cloud First".
Sick series
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Happy Friday! ❤
Amazing series!
Dark is the swarm. that was a great game.
Amazing playing by Dark
Dark is the GOAT imao. Lowko thx for video.

Simple answer, because this isn't command and conquer.
I wonder how different pro play would look like if sc2 had stuff that'd make less micro necessary?
AoE2 also has a button to split, it even has a scatter formation that makes your units put more space between each other
Awesome series.
dark is such a menace i love it
bloo-loo-loop bloo-loo-loop indeed Lowko
430 ms - that's what she said.
28:07 Top tier commentating!
Sensational series.
21:15 Costly for the Terran yeah. Casters are weird sometimes LOL
the ultimate "wait for it"
Lowko: "Zergs only win one game in four against Terran on this map"
Dark: :)
Later on, poor Steve the scv his gear caught fire during drop off of that last load of minerals. The whole Cc caught on fire, many perished. No pain worse than burning
I REALLY want to see Classic vs Clem or Maru
Classic seems he figured out mid/late PvT with his HTs, and I wonder how those players will counter him
you deserve the like, so i gave it
Understanding the game like dark does makes him the better player
burrow is one of the best upgrades a lot of zerg players fail to ever use. like it basically punishes terran and protoss players who never make a raven or probe but rather rely on oracles/scans and static defense.
dark is the agent of caos anyone would have nightmares playing against him
Discovered your channel recently love the commentary! ❤❤ Bllliiirppp Bliiirrpp

clem get mess up with the chaos? haha
is he screaming on the keyboardddd
great great games! great series!
Dark is a monster sometimes, he just needs to warm up apparently.
probably he knows himself he´s playing better from behind. His supply Blocks, then Prod. 10 Ovis at a time ..the only cause it to give his opponent a bit of a lead :) .. also his map chioces sometimes , all the same tactics ^^
Dark seems to attack the production more than Clem is used to. So Clem is relying on reinforcements to push the Zerg back that never come.
I'm curious: are there other games like Starcraft out there that are worth playing? A friend recommended Gates of Pyre, which I have checked out already, and it looks solid, but I sure still want more suggestions.
There may be better players than Dark, but players like Dark make watching this game SO much fun.
the excitement to discover if click bait or actually good maaaaaan, keep them up, they make my day xD
Spoiler shield’s mens are goddamn fast
And I choose you to become the spoiler shield’s blocker 😎
Great game
Damn reverse sweep!
You know what Clem is doing the right thing, going to Korea. Perhaps it will work out while he is there, but if.. like Reynor.. he will probably come back stronger than ever.
Probably just the vacation element?
Hyperbolic time chamber
And the winner is...
Serral 😂
it will be nice to have different color blood to zerg units :)
Its never so fun when I play the game myself! 😢
Dark is my Goat

Why isn’t this a “Game of the Year”...
Based on the “Ping” !
LOL... it’s like the weather patterns delivering once in 100 year storms multiple times every season and once in a 1000 years storms every year... ❤️🤣LOL
Back in the day when SC2 came out, I always said "nerf zerg". Nowdays though... all I can say is "Nerf Dark!".
Dark is like an anime character
trusting you... lets see whats up >:3!
Lol, now Clem will have another nightmare: Drop Overlord 😂
Seriously he puts way too much focus on attacking and never bother his backyard
I mean Loko called out the imbalance of TvZ. Zerg is not like it once was. SC2 is not a fair fight. Mark my words, the World Cup will be TvP from at least the quarterfinals and onward.
Last game Clem lost by giving up map control. Focused way to long on the CC turtle
I wonder why dark and Clem have been facing off so much… oh well, as long as I get to watch more of my favorite Terran player!
Regarding how long matches typically last, I have an AITA moment here. So I had a match where by the 10 minute mark I was in a bad spot that I knew I probably couldn't get out of.
