A good way to visualize the cost of a Ghost, is that it has the same mineral and gas cost of a Siege Tank. So when you see 6 Ghosts get fungaled a couple times and killed off, imagine that was 6 Siege Tanks dying for free.
I have decided a while ago that Lowko has a "GAME OF THE YEAR" thumbnail cool down, like a special ability. And as long as he doesn't spam it too close together he gets a pass.
" in my defense, it's been a few weeks since we had a game of the year" Lowko, you never fail to entertain! I'm so happy I've followed you all these years. You're amazing at your job mate - keep it up!
At the end of the year you should make a games of the year playlist and get everyone to cast a vote for which is the best so you get a definitive game of the year. Could make like a poll day on your twitch stream. Just for fun
So to beat ghost mech you just need 400+ APM, burrow and neural a ghost to EMP their own ghosts, then hit a money fungal, roll perfect connections with banelings while also neural parasiting the thors and casting blinding clouds while the terran just has to EMP and them spam snipe 👍
Dark having the apm and mindfulness to send those small hyper-efficient zergling hit squads ALL OVER the map in the late-late game on top of having perfect micro in the main engagements is seriously impressive.
Could you create a playlist "Game of the Year 2023" and gather all those suggestions there, so we can have an easy go-to at the end of the year and may vote on those?
CLEM’s name reminds me of my childhood and drinking the world renown Dutch invention _KLIM_ I still don’t drink powdered milk as an adult let alone the whole milk variety as a result.
It absolutely baffles me how terrans just accept all the damage they take from burrowed units and choose to spend scans on pushing back creep instead of just building a Raven. Like I really just don't understand the lack of a detection unit... The logic of "it costs too much" doesn't really hold up when you're taking huge loses from just 1 or 2 burrowed units. Not sure I agree with this being game of the year even if it is just game of the year of the week. IMO game of the year is when both players are on point and there were a number of different critical errors that Clem made. Like realistically Clem probably should have won this but he over committed a few times in the game which threw away the advantage he had allowed Dark to pull himself back into the game.
The first game that I watched on your channel is a BO5 (I think) Dark vs Clem match where Dark opens with a Nydus Roach Queen. That was one of the BEST matches so far. And here we have a match with these two again to the same calliber of that one years ago.
So, actually, "slown down" is used in some dialects, just not in writing. So, I'm not sure where the people complaining about that are from. Where I am from, it would sound totally normal.
poor clem, some of these thors put dragoons to shame with that path-finding :D is it true, that clem plays less sc2 and switches away from it? i'd love to see more games of him
Am I missing something? Why was there never a mass viking transition? There was plenty of time to set up the infrastructure and enough money to build up the fleet, and it' not like it would've been an overcommitment with the number of broods and corruptors in the air.
vikings are dying like flies to fungal parasitic combo. and you don't really need them as tertan as broods has a sjittu range and ghosts and thors are naturally counter them. it's just dark)'s engagement was out of this world. you need to sync everything up perfectly
"Slown" is fine. While it's non-standard, it's clear what you mean (past participle of the verb "to slow"), and I'm generally a fan of irregular verb conjugations; just avoid using it in formal contexts.
Why don't any of the pros, scan, emp, and then snipe infestors? Believing that they can snipe them off before they throw even a single fungal is asinine and downright impossible with several of them around.
its hard to think of clem as a micro player when you see him being led around the nose by alternating attacks on different sides of the map by dark. losing units because he didnt pay attention or not defending his newly acquired expansions
Dark slow'n Clem down with that 32k bane slang was epic. I'd've thunk it was over there. Who'd know'd? Best display of top level SCII Starcraft so far this year anyway! 🐀🦖
am i the only person who finds the terms "battle mech" vs. "mech" kinda opaque? "mobile mech" vs "heavy mech" would be a lot clearer as to what units and play style to expect
There was a time APM kind of matter, every Korean player was just faster than the foreign players, particularly so in broodwar. Now fights are decided on efficiency of APM in that regard
Just to remind everyone- "kite" or "kiting" your enemies units so your units don't take damage came from Upper Black Rock Spire in World of Warcraft. The hunter class could use a kite, a type of bird, to hold threat "aggro" on the main boss without dying through combination of speed and high dodge chance on the pet, slowing traps, and using feign death on the hunter once the rest of the raid group had finished killing the bosses guards "adds" to send the boss back to the group. This strategy often had the hunter lure the boss a VERY long way from the rest of the raid group. In general the hunter class in WoW could do a lot of fun tactics involving ranged DPS without ever taking melee damage from enemies, and it was all known as kiting even without ever using a pet. Eventually people didn't have to use the bird pet at all, but the name stuck for this general tactic.
You know what would help distinguish this cast of the game from the other person who cast it? An intro. Something like, "Helllllooooo everybody my name is Lowko!!! And welcome back to another game of StarCraft 2!" Just improving here, but I think that the fan base would appreciate it

Damn
Good comparison
Yeah...damn.
problem is ghosts generally get at least 1 single snipe kill on higher tier units, or at least EMP an entire PROTOSS army
Well, 6 siege tanks dying for free is also very common due to "abduction" spell )
I have decided a while ago that Lowko has a "GAME OF THE YEAR" thumbnail cool down, like a special ability. And as long as he doesn't spam it too close together he gets a pass.
Fax, each video he doesn't use it helps charge it up, because you know the video with the title will have to be better.
Thought I was the only one who felt that way :D
Glad to see that quite a few agree :)
You've nailed it on the head good sir!
Don't forget that every video will take 1 overlord of supply
I almost spit coffee all over my keyboard because of this 🤣🤣🤣
Game of the year of the week!!
Simon please make a Top 10 "game of the year" at the end of the year so you can decide Wich one of those weekly game of the year is the TRUE one.
This needs to happen!
Half of them will involve Dark
just add “so far” after “game of the year.
" in my defense, it's been a few weeks since we had a game of the year" Lowko, you never fail to entertain! I'm so happy I've followed you all these years. You're amazing at your job mate - keep it up!
I really like how creative Dark is with his playstyle.
That was a great game. Love seeing Dark pull rabbits out of hats. Those fungals were incredible.
Clem is not playing as many tournaments as he used to because French like to retire early
31:59 this was really fun to watch, beautifully executed with the zergling driveby
At the end of the year you should make a games of the year playlist and get everyone to cast a vote for which is the best so you get a definitive game of the year. Could make like a poll day on your twitch stream. Just for fun

hell yeah. good luck for all players below 6.5k
but dark also abused the fact that this army is pretty slow. with relentless runbies
I didnt saw Dark wining after loosing the infestors with just roach ling, amazing gameplay
Dark having the apm and mindfulness to send those small hyper-efficient zergling hit squads ALL OVER the map in the late-late game on top of having perfect micro in the main engagements is seriously impressive.

32:10 moment clem lost when his army decided to split up lol
Ghost mech = spooky mech
can we get yearly compilation of game of the year games?
CLEM’s name reminds me of my childhood and drinking the world renown Dutch invention _KLIM_
I still don’t drink powdered milk as an adult let alone the whole milk variety as a result.
It'd be cool to see a compilation of all the "game of the year" videos at the end of each year
Yo, Lowko, you make any more stream highlights vids? Those were fun
Oh snaps! Dark uploaded a new video on his TH-cam channel!!
25:15 Another impossible cleanning from Dark!!
It absolutely baffles me how terrans just accept all the damage they take from burrowed units and choose to spend scans on pushing back creep instead of just building a Raven.

Idea.
We need to collect all the "games of the year", throughout of the year, and we as a community vote for one around christmas.
Maybe the true “Game of the Year” is the friends we made along the way.
32:06 is what broke the game. Three thors taking a detour. Bad pathing inattention from Clem.
"And he goes by the name of *put batman voice changer on* DAAARK" 😂😂😂 ur the man lowko!!!
APM may not be a good measurement, but we don't have a better measurement for the true thing we're trying to measure
somehow, my mood mostly improves just by hearing lowko talking starcraft :D
The first game that I watched on your channel is a BO5 (I think) Dark vs Clem match where Dark opens with a Nydus Roach Queen. That was one of the BEST matches so far. And here we have a match with these two again to the same calliber of that one years ago.
I wonder if he would ever make a mega video with the "Games of the Year" to choose the true "Game of the Year".
So, actually, "slown down" is used in some dialects, just not in writing. So, I'm not sure where the people complaining about that are from. Where I am from, it would sound totally normal.
poor clem, some of these thors put dragoons to shame with that path-finding :D is it true, that clem plays less sc2 and switches away from it? i'd love to see more games of him
Truly, one of the games of the year.
God dammit, Lowko. Do we need to get you an intervention on these "game of the year" tittles? (X
Love watching your announcing, keep it up mate (:
you should have a "GAME OF THE YEAR" bracket at the end of the year.
I dont usually leave like on video but yea this one diserved it omg so many's up n down loved it!!!
So what you're saying is that Dark plays with max morale if he can shake off a lost trade.
why does one never see a mule drop for repair in late game? Plenty energy available, one mule can repair 1-2-3 thors saves much value...
The man done it. Ladies and gentlemen I present to you, 3 Games Of The Year.
25:19 that was absolutely stellar play wow
Am I missing something? Why was there never a mass viking transition? There was plenty of time to set up the infrastructure and enough money to build up the fleet, and it' not like it would've been an overcommitment with the number of broods and corruptors in the air.
vikings are dying like flies to fungal parasitic combo. and you don't really need them as tertan as broods has a sjittu range and ghosts and thors are naturally counter them. it's just dark)'s engagement was out of this world. you need to sync everything up perfectly
People say Slowin as in abbreviated slowing all the time
"Slown" is fine. While it's non-standard, it's clear what you mean (past participle of the verb "to slow"), and I'm generally a fan of irregular verb conjugations; just avoid using it in formal contexts.
25:15 Holyshit dark that's just beautiful and ruthless
There better be a top games of the year tier list at the end of the year so we can decide which game of the year is the game of the year
Trully a grand game! GG well casted! What a swing of a game!
Why don't any of the pros, scan, emp, and then snipe infestors?
Believing that they can snipe them off before they throw even
a single fungal is asinine and downright impossible with
several of them around.
I’d like to see more unorthodox games like the Special’s. I dont even play Starcraft I’m just here for the mind games
2:20 Aight, who lubed up the reaper?
maybe the true game of the years is the game of the day that lowko casts everyday
I love ghost-mech!
great game by Maru and Dark!
i would say a misplaced CC on gold is always a big things. because it means more travel time thus taking away from the gold advantage
CLEM NEEDS TO LEARN TO LEAVE 2-3 FIREBATS in his mining field in the late game!!!
Lowko pls, theres only so much game of the years a person can take
its hard to think of clem as a micro player when you see him being led around the nose by alternating attacks on different sides of the map by dark. losing units because he didnt pay attention or not defending his newly acquired expansions
Dark slow'n Clem down with that 32k bane slang was epic. I'd've thunk it was over there.
Who'd know'd?
Best display of top level SCII Starcraft so far this year anyway! 🐀🦖
Dang Dark scraps it out again, what a beast
am i the only person who finds the terms "battle mech" vs. "mech" kinda opaque?
"mobile mech" vs "heavy mech" would be a lot clearer as to what units and play style to expect
how many years do we have in a year?
Simpson's meme: "Best game of the year SO FAR"
Seemed near the end there that dark had no chance of winning
battle mech is so fun to watch
This is definitaly a game played in a year
I'm an American and although it probably isn't "proper" English, I constantly say slown down. I'm not judging you Lowko 😅
Indeed a goty candidate xD
Isn't every game the game of the year at this point? You know what, I think I should post a game of the year sometime soon.
Got to have a game of the year for each style of match up❤
There was a time APM kind of matter, every Korean player was just faster than the foreign players, particularly so in broodwar. Now fights are decided on efficiency of APM in that regard
Don’t forget to smile, alright?
What a game
He always says it's the game of the year. But never mentions which year. So he's got about 12023 years to which he can associate them
GOTY (monthly manga)
Is there a german sc2 pro?
Plenty. Heromarine, Lambo come to mind immediately
The game before this one in the series had quite an explosive finish.

genuinely wanna understand why roaches are considered trash ? Like they do the job
English sacrifices consistency for expressiveness and completeness. A rational logic of its own!
Why nit always leave 1-2 helbats to every scv line? Seems cheap counter to ling run bys
f2 too much i think . terrans cannot easily control group shit like zergs do
Reapers self heal?!
Yeah out of combat
Still does not help them to stay in the game for long
just played one game of sc2 since a while and get platin3. LOL i was in gold the heighest. Im so talented? xd
My apm 68 oponent 155
i think Dark bribed Lowko so that he gets more recognition...It's definitely working on me
I know they do mine drops to mineral lines but what about widow mine drops to overlords.. seems it might be easier and more value is.. lol meh
Dark’s life hack, learn from failure instead of dwell on it. 🫡
Today is a good day
Lowko MVP!
You know what would help distinguish this cast of the game from the other person who cast it? An intro. Something like, "Helllllooooo everybody my name is Lowko!!! And welcome back to another game of StarCraft 2!" Just improving here, but I think that the fan base would appreciate it
If you're gonna criticize Lowko for getting English words wrong, at least have the class to do it in Dutch.
It's insane how unbalanced brood lords are
G to theG
About the english as a language: it rarely makes any sense - almost everything you have to just remember so..😂🤷🏻♂️
GAME OF THE YEAR, definitely a clickbait
Daamn!
What can terran do 😢 zerg is sooo strong 😅
Before I watch the game. May I just predict that the zerg wins this match.
called it.
Wow
game of the year, until Dark's next game which will be game of the year
slown is acceptable in scrabble therfor its a real word i wouldnt take advice on speaking english from americans
wow what a great game but not the greatest game in the year. there has to be a great endfight.
