I appreciate the Raven spells explanation. I don't keep up anymore, so sometimes things happen and I just go "Probably an ability I don't know about", this helped alleviate that.
Maru has such godlike positioning, It felt like he was constantly being active on the map, juking the army of Clem into a bad position then quickly rotating to an unsecured location to capitalize. Very impressive.
I've watched many of your videos and I appreciated your explanation of the Ravens' abilities and the strategic implications of the related resource commitment.
33:00 I can't believe Clem gave up on that base?! His army was right there, it would've taken 5 seconds to target down that totally unprotected CC Maru was trying to turn into a planetary. That absolutely is a game-winning opportunity for Maru, because you are exactly right at 34:50--going after it 2 minutes later means Clem has to commit much harder to take it out and that makes the rest of Clem's bases vulnerable for Maru's gazillion ravens.
Clem had a much slower army. If he defended that base Maru gonna split his fast army and destroy his entire right side of the map and Clem couldn’t do the same since a lot of his dps were from liberators which don’t do anything to building. That’s my attempt to read Clem movement. Feel free to disagree.
Real treat to watch. Late game scenarios like this are also interesting to theory craft. I wonder if pros ask to resume from replay to test out different strategies/tactics. For example, I wonder if it's better to just pull the trigger on a base trade vs ravens earlier instead of dancing back and forth whenever Maru threatens to move out. By moving back and forth without engaging, you're letting raven energy build up. But maybe Clem thought it was unnecessary to risk a base trade since he killed so many bases in the early part of the game.
Hey, I’m a viewer that yours is the only StarCraft content that I watch. I haven’t played since launch but stumbled on one of your videos a few years back and have watched most of your videos since. Thanks for the good content!
i dont know why clem didnt make more planetary, they are very good vs mass marine. with mass repair they can single handedly stop a marine push unlike siege tank liberator wich make short work of planetary.
That moment when Lowko mentioned the units in red are faster immediately reminded me of one of the most iconic lines from Mobile Suit: Gundam. Maybe Maru IS Char!
EMP isn't reliable against raven, as long your oponnent have a few marines and tanks the disables can't land before the ravens get their casts off, clem mistake was going mass lib, they do nothing besides killing tanks while raven can counter tank, marine and viking if you are good they are so awfull that maru don't even bother disabling libs, just look at this 17:16 clem moveout against a guy who has ravens, got caught off sieged with no marines to hold the line and dunked
I’ve been loving the uploads since I found your channel a month or so ago. I watch your video every night when I get home from work. I’ve played StarCraft in my childhood but not in many years but I love the videos. Keep it up! Also love the best of 3s 5s 7s instead of a single game just btw
Ok guys, so I am no expert at all but throughout this game I kept asking myself why Clem didn't make a couple of Ghosts? Is there something I'm missing? Because I cant think of a single good reason not to right? Nukes to make Liberators and Tanks unsiege and EMP to nullify the Ravens. Thought?
Man, I clicked on this video 5 times over the last hour and it refused to load. Glad it's finally working! I do love me a game of Starcraft with Lowko providing commentary.
12:10 Little micro trick where Clem put two marine ahead of the pack so the splash damage is annihilated ... The difference is only like 3 or 5 marines for the next fight, but damn it's important !
Saw the upload, didn’t even watch it and gave it a like. Lowko’s consistent upload and each one I have watched already proved his quality in his videos. Will watch after work!
Terrans need to use strip mining more. Drop 20 mules on an exposed base or even the enemy base (if no PF or army nearby) - doesn't even need a nearby CC, just steal the minerals from your opponent.
I honestly look at a game like this and can't even comprehend the apm required to manage these armies let alone maintain supply and upgrades. It seems half a second goes by and a possibly game winning game engagement has occurred; meanwhile they are both microing their armies, spellcastining, producing and researching. As a player who has played very little terran(compared to serg and protoss), this seems like madness.
sometimes in a match like this it would help to just spam the map with barracks because high hp and cheap and you can bring out a wave of rines after a big engagement quickly
Whenever the Raven is explained, we go over the spells but not the fact that it is passively a spotter/detector. Not massive in the matchup, but still a skill it has to make it a swiss army knife.
Lowko, aways keep explaining what each units does, its seems silly but keep in mind the change logs of the game and new players are aways coming. sometimes i watch your old videos wich some ahbilits doesnt exist anymore, i mean... its a good way to check what the game was in the past. thanks for the cast once again.
the real Lowko is back =)) and no matter how good Maru is at TvT he can never revert his lost against the true king of Terran: the man the myth the legend ... Olivera =)))
Explaining the Raven each game, feels like explaining the star block to a toddler, You know the circle and tryangle with 3 points, the cube everyone knows but the start with 1,2,3,4 and even a 5th point. still appreciate it though.
I only watch you for casting, (everyone else has an annoying voice or sucks in comparison) i like to watch Uthermal, but hes a player, i genuinely love your casts. keep up the good work man.
21:34 clem scans the top left maru base, can't do anything about it. would be interesting to see ghost+nuke mixed in to these TVT late game positional battles. Edit: 28:40 clem scans again, sees it freshly mass muled, still can't get there with his army!
I generally enjoy watching Lowko's casts, but something that drives me mad is when he clicks away from the battle to stare at a building on the far side of the map! It's like Lowko! There's a big fight happening and you're staring at a Command Centre!
StarCraft use to be my favorite PC game as a kid, watching these matches is very enjoyable for me. I wonder though, how come in pro play no one ever sets up any defense structures to protect their base? U never see bunkers, cannons, or sunkens in these games
Nice match lowko, please could you explain for the Next match the snipes of gosths, i dont know wich units can be snippped, thanks a lot, and please cast some more tvt, see ya
uThermal once played vs mass raven and the guy playing mass raven said "pro tip : build ghost and emp the ravens xD" so i was kinda expecting some ghosts from clem haha
Come on Lowko, say the thing!
Lowko: *says it*
Crowd goes wild
wrr
Nice of him to introduce himself. I don't know who's talking in the video otherwise.
I appreciate the Raven spells explanation. I don't keep up anymore, so sometimes things happen and I just go "Probably an ability I don't know about", this helped alleviate that.
Ah the nostalgia. Thanks for the intro Lowko!
Maru has such godlike positioning, It felt like he was constantly being active on the map, juking the army of Clem into a bad position then quickly rotating to an unsecured location to capitalize. Very impressive.
wrg
I love that intro Lowko, it made me smile even with this terrible headache that I have right now. In a Maru vs Clem game too!
He said it. He said the thing!
I hope he continues to say it with every new upload
Finally, after a long time, a proper introduction and beginning🎉
Wow wow wow wow
I'm sorry but it was a bit off key.
It was barley an inconvenience
I can never put into words just how MUCH I love hearing the old Intro. Never gets old!
Nice! .... The real jingle intro ! GJ ! Thanks!

We all love the intro. Any time I watch an SC2 cast, I hear you singing in my head.
0:05 - Hey Damn! Lowko's back! instant thumbs up!
i got crazy nostaliga, thank you lowko 💜
that intro

Lowko with the throat clear and warmup too. "Eleven lions love licking lemons"...
"HEELLLOOOWWWW EVERYONE"
This was an amazing example of power vs. manoeuvrability.
Maru just played guerilla warfare almost perfectly.
i dont know why clem didnt make more planetary, they are very good vs mass marine. with mass repair they can single handedly stop a marine push unlike siege tank liberator wich make short work of planetary.

Wild ride, great commentary, Lowko! Haven't watched SC in a while, but it always brings a smile to my face to come back and see what you're up to.
Even if I didnt manage to watch lowko years ago, hearing the intro is such a cute and fun way to set up the mood
i always watch one of your episodes while eating dinner. it got so far, i now get hungry when i see a sc2 short during the day.
Clem should have gotten some ghosts, it would have been expensive gas-wise, but EMPing those ravens would have been huge.
The problem would've been landing the EMPs. His micro and positioning were god tier. He's one of the best for a reason.
EMP isn't reliable against raven, as long your oponnent have a few marines and tanks the disables can't land before the ravens get their casts off, clem mistake was going mass lib, they do nothing besides killing tanks while raven can counter tank, marine and viking if you are good they are so awfull that maru don't even bother disabling libs, just look at this 17:16 clem moveout against a guy who has ravens, got caught off sieged with no marines to hold the line and dunked
I hear the classic Lowko intro, i click like. I'm a simple youtube viewer.
Instant like ❤
Someone should put all the videos where you say "Hello..." in one playlist, so we can count them and always have access to the best intro ones :D
I was thinking about how I was missing watching Clem games the other week, thanks for doing a few lately
I’ve been loving the uploads since I found your channel a month or so ago. I watch your video every night when I get home from work. I’ve played StarCraft in my childhood but not in many years but I love the videos. Keep it up! Also love the best of 3s 5s 7s instead of a single game just btw
Man, how much value did this man just get out of those Ravens?!
An amazing amount, even considering the fact that he lost over 40 of them.
Fantastic game. I love mirror matches that you pick.
SC2 is so dynamic. At no point in Brood War was a TvT this exciting.
The scan sounds had me dying 😂 this is what I watch for
Oh damn, I forgot that intro was a thing, it tickled something inside my brain when I heard it after so long, thank you Lowko.
Instant smile. Thanks for the intro!
Me: *having a nice day*
Lowko: "Heeelllloooo everyone my name is Lowko~
Me: *having a **_Lowko_** day*
Ok guys, so I am no expert at all but throughout this game I kept asking myself why Clem didn't make a couple of Ghosts?

As a terran player a 40+ min long tvt, on ancient cistern no less, gives me ptsd
12:34 Virizion and Cobalion
This game was crazy, it was wild seeing Maru with the Ravens and all the disabling.
This is a very, very, very fucking great match. I wish more would stream the high end TvT, PvP and ZvZ, they are so incredibly fascinating to me.
12:10 Little micro trick where Clem put two marine ahead of the pack so the splash damage is annihilated ... The difference is only like 3 or 5 marines for the next fight, but damn it's important !
I can sleep in peace after hearing the classic intro
Thank you Lowko. That intro always makes my day better.
Saw the upload, didn’t even watch it and gave it a like. Lowko’s consistent upload and each one I have watched already proved his quality in his videos. Will watch after work!

he finarly did the opener. instant like.
what a beautiful game honestly TvT isnt just the best mirror match, when maru is playing its just as entertaining as any other match up.
Nostalgia bomb!!! Your voice is one reason I come... I love the into
I LOVE YOU LOWKO BEEN WATCHIN YOU FOR YEARS EVEN FOLLOWED YOUR GM JOURNEY RAVENS ARE SO MYSTICC
“What was previously the job of many marines is suddenly being outsourced”. I appreciate the concern for the working man. 😊
brilliant game, thanks clem maru and lowko
Jajaja, único Lowko.
Eres genial con esa entrada y haces además de interesante, divertida las partidas.
Instant like for the GOAT SC2 intro
the lowko intro❤❤❤
I knew it, I wasn't the only one missing Lowko saying that thing!! 😭😭
instant like, after that intro / start
sometimes in a match like this it would help to just spam the map with barracks because high hp and cheap and you can bring out a wave of rines after a big engagement quickly

EXCELLENT INTRO!!!
I love lowko on twitch but work mostly when he is streaming.,.. glhf fam

thanks for the cast once again.
Best TvT I’ve seen since the heyday of TY and Innovation.
Hey Lowko, doing math ( 03:25 ) is always risky :)
Nice Intro 😜
Nice game from both Maru and Clem!
it's funny how much people react to the intro. Hahaha. I don't care im here for the games hahaha
Clem was so patient most of the match then he got impatient in the end trying to snag a little bit of value with those tanks 😢
the real Lowko is back =)) and no matter how good Maru is at TvT he can never revert his lost against the true king of Terran: the man the myth the legend ... Olivera =)))
Today is a good day and I am smiling because Lowko did the thing! ❤❤
Explaining the Raven each game, feels like explaining the star block to a toddler,
You know the circle and tryangle with 3 points, the cube everyone knows but the start with 1,2,3,4 and even a 5th point.
still appreciate it though.
I only watch you for casting, (everyone else has an annoying voice or sucks in comparison) i like to watch Uthermal, but hes a player, i genuinely love your casts. keep up the good work man.
Damn that was a good game.
I am definitely in the Lowko fan club of people who like the singing intro!
Love the OG intro
21:34 clem scans the top left maru base, can't do anything about it. would be interesting to see ghost+nuke mixed in to these TVT late game positional battles. Edit: 28:40 clem scans again, sees it freshly mass muled, still can't get there with his army!
I generally enjoy watching Lowko's casts, but something that drives me mad is when he clicks away from the battle to stare at a building on the far side of the map! It's like Lowko! There's a big fight happening and you're staring at a Command Centre!
I came here cause I herd he did the thing! *salutes the flag of lowko*
I love super high level TvT, it's so insane
Never gets old!
You and Uthermal should do some collab videos
Insta like for that intro, i love you Lowko
Love the opening!
I'm not sure if I see Lowko videos for StarCraft 2 or if I do for his jokes. He sees the CC. LOL jajaja
Show us the units lost! Great cast!!
StarCraft use to be my favorite PC game as a kid, watching these matches is very enjoyable for me. I wonder though, how come in pro play no one ever sets up any defense structures to protect their base? U never see bunkers, cannons, or sunkens in these games
Nice match lowko, please could you explain for the Next match the snipes of gosths, i dont know wich units can be snippped, thanks a lot, and please cast some more tvt, see ya
New cyclones entered the chat lol
Love the old intro, it's a little bit cringey, but I love you bring it back
uThermal once played vs mass raven and the guy playing mass raven said "pro tip : build ghost and emp the ravens xD" so i was kinda expecting some ghosts from clem haha
I watched a wardi once upon a time but I am, and always have been, a lowko main.
Would ghost EMP be good here to drain the ravens of energy?
I do like that Intro.
this is the game of the year!
God the intro so good
Maru's unit movement is like water. He has so much flow. Clem is fast, but his unit movement is mechanical in comparison.
i love that Banshee moment :D
Does smart servos help tanks?
Wow what a game 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Replace the Cyclone with the Goliath.
perfect scan sound... its nice to know lowko only casts clems losses lol such a meanie
i missed that intro lowko😂❤
Wait for it. Wait for it. Legendary.😂
