10:30 Colossus is a fully robotic unit. No Protoss body or soul involved. Zeratul retrieved some from under the ocean in the Protoss mini campaign in Wings of Liberty. Colossus are also part of the Purifier armies in Legacy of the Void, which are all robotic. I think the Colossus is highly inspired by the alien robots in HG Wells War of the Worlds.
Also consider that pylons literally float, protoss have no issue suspending things in the air.
"Some of the very best control in Starcraft 2." *Reaper runs back in and dies*
Saw that too. While Lowko was already paying attention to something else, about to the camera away, we could witness just the turn around of that reaper towards the adept. Its unavoidable conclusion was confirmed by the little disappearance of a blue dot on the map.
At that precise second, the whole reddit "everything terran" felt a disturbance in the force.
F
The caster curse strikes again
Attrition is a good word bro @@LowkoTV
@@LowkoTV The reason you still only have 500k subs and will never hit a million like other casters is because you always show favoritism to european players (praising/bias towards Serral, MaxPax, Clem, etc.). You called MaxPax the best Protoss when Hero is statistically and objectively the superior player. That's not very smart for your TH-cam income and career when you alienate the majority of viewers who are Korean. I spoke with my Korean starcraft group and I asked them if they know LowKo and they all said "Oh that's that european guy who hates the Korean pros, yeah we hate him". Smarten up and think big, you small northern european neanderthal.
Here's a word you could add to your casts:
"Feint: A feint is an attack used to deceive the enemy as to the location or time of the actual decisive operation. Forces conducting a feint seek direct fire contact with the enemy but avoid decisive engagement."
New words:
“Artillery”: tanks, disrupters, brute lords.
“Armored infantry”. Marauders, roaches, immortals.
“(Map) Intelligence” explorers, scans, creep.
“Sabotage (supply lines)” mine drops, zealot runs, bailing runs.
Strategic = macro
Tactic = micro
I hope they help! You at the best commentator! Thanks for your channel.
Oh I like these!
Let’s go Maxpax! It’s so good to see how much he has improved. He and Clem are the next generation in pro Sc2 and I’m here for it!
Well they both are still clearly improvable. With a Serral or a Maru, I could in the past get this feeling of overwhelming power.
To me, Reynor was the only one who could compete. He seems to take it easy lately however.
I wonder how much current Clem & Maxpax good results are related to new patch era. They seemed to "awaken" before that so there's some hope they'll confirm. We will see.
Also, Maxpax will have to go to offline tournaments, rather sooner than later, if he wants to reach the top.
@@huyxiun2085 oh for sure. I’m not saying they’re the absolute best, just that their progress is remarkable.
Also, unfortunately Maru has had it rough lately. He’s been uncharacteristically underperforming and making a lot of bad calls
I think you can easily compare it with cell phones. When first phones with color display came, they were amazing. Now you would have headache to read on such wierd colored low quality screen. I think when you have started, everyone was happy for any caster that kept uploading good content. I remember that there wasnt enough people. At these days, you upload in very good quality and with such positivity, that is really easy to stick around. I think you have nothing to worry about regarding the past, and thank you very much for always doing good work. I honestly appreciate it.
Lowko, you don't need to worry about someone flashier coming and taking your public away. One of the reasons I love watching your videos is your attitude, which is really positive, respectful, and fun. Watching videos with you is like being with a good friend and hanging out. It would take a lot of "flash" to create an atmosphere as appealing as what you create by just being you. Keep up the excellent work. You are a wonderful SC2 ambassador.
I started watching your casting after husky dropped off the earth and have loved your content ever since! I'm glad we have a few amazing casters after all this time.
Vendetta..... I need that sweet SC2 pro players blood feud
Supercalafragalistic is definitely a word you should use more often in you casts.
Lowko [51:15], I think it is your beautiful narration that is promoting an increase of the community. Despite what you thought back then, the reason you are having it still is you are attracting first time comers like crazy, which is not others have been able to do as much. An the reason for that is your narrative style. Let me elaborate a bit on that:
1) You explain what things do over and over and it never gets boring, do not ever stop that. When its your first SC2 match, you make any viewer understand what these updates do, or what you need to do to get the next, make people understand what you are speaking in terminology and know how. For example, keep telling the amount of health combat shield is gonna give and what percent increase is that. This does not get old even if you know it.
2) You keep explaining tactics and pay attention to the early game. You keep explaining how to build order will/could continue. And you explain things as you are experiencing, like, quoting: "well clem really needs to reposition these hellba...theeere you go, now its gonna make zerling harder to attack from that side, but not after the zergling speed upgrade which has only 10 seconds to complete, apparently Dark is also thinking that and now he decided to pull the trigger once again, he's a mad man..." etc etc. Amazing! Listening to the thought processes is amazing!
No need to categorize:you know how didactic your style is, and this is lowering the learning curve to single digits, making it enjoyable to first timers.
3) Your non-professional style. You keep rolling back to catch what you missed. Your informal references to stuff. Your sympathetic down to earth style. I feel like I am watching it. Appreciation of interesting things around the map not related to the gameplay at all. Not taking it that extreme serious. Also amazing..
As a SC fan, I had not liked the SC2 before you, and you got me back into the game, made install it once more and keeping me interested in the game. I am not playing much, and am playing like shit really, but I am very much keen on listening the pro tactics from you and wondering how it'd go if I was able to execute them in the ladder.
Anyway, I think you should, and will be, appreciated much much more over the next of course of years. You are not only getting a part of slice from the existing viewer base, but actively generating more under your slice.
And also, now that I know about the game pretty well thanks to you, I can start enjoying the matches in other YT channels but its boring there besides the match, but you are quite fun. Adding your didactic approach to this fun-ness is making you unparalled. You deserve every bit of praise in this YT channel as you get both in comments and in YT numbers.
I sincerely hope you dont get bored of this or sc2 any time soon.
Lowko I've been watching you for years and you are still doing this..
Of course you deserve a like, maybe even more. Your work shall be put into spotlight. Bravo!
Sorry to disappoint you but I just tuned in after a one year pause and your videos are exactly the same 😂 I couldn’t tell any difference and I have been watching you for years. Always has been awesome and always will be 👍
Battlecruiser: I can attack while moving, cast Yamato gun, and can warp in and out of the battlefield.
Carrier: I have a bunch of mini-me's that tickle the enemy. Pew pew pew.
Lowko, you should certainly consider a career in investigative journalism. You're asking the right questions about the colossi among us.
Hey, Lowko, I'm just passing by to say hi and thank you for all the great content you've been providing us with! And to also push the TH-cam algorithms to show your videos more! Keep it up, man! :)
That last game felt really intense, great stuff.
Great work lowko, much appreciated, I have a fondness for the word "salubrious, have fun with it, hope to hear it in your cast one day !
I think one of the issues is that the protoss reactive units depends on the opponent to be good, either he forgets about detection or gets a disruptor in the face. There is no unit that depends on the player to recover, like with blink stalker.
Colossi are entirely robotic. But hey, there are already artificial intelligences for terran in starcraft, the adjutants, so i don't think we'll be seeing a terran (or even real life human) colossus anytime soon e.e
In your next cast, use the word "discombobulated"
The Viking needs to either be more expensive or take longer to construct OR not be effected by a reactor. HUGELY powerful for what you invest, especially since they can "siege" also.
Yep, and they destroy collosus like nothing
Agree vikings are overtuned.
Viking require micro they are like paper
every unit looks OP if played by a person who mastered it
almost 95 percent of people in metal leagues make more use of a single BC than of a half dozen kivings
Vikings get annihilated by Storm and Stalkers. If you don't babysit them constantly they drop like flies. They are fine.
words to use suggestions:
"artificial intelligence quotient" (made up by me) = some stat of making something making absolute sense in vacuum but given the circumstances it's one of the worst possible decisions.
example: "Maru's artificial intelligence quotient went through the roof lately. I did not expect him to delay a CC for that extra Tank. What did that Tank achieve? A 3-hatch ling flood in his backyard?"
"homing pigeon" = Widow Mine's projectile
"flying colon" = Mutalisk
"flying comma" = Corruptor
"off-racing as British" = playing Zerg (Queen pun intended)
"now that's rich" = a player makes an exceptionally risky decision bordering with pure madness ("Scarlett is going for a double 3rd Hatch before Pool. Now that's rich!")
"has this %unit_name% considered getting a job?" = this unit is idling for a very long time
"Skunkling" = Baneling that traded inefficiently (e.g. was sacrificed for a Thor)
"Italians" = Protoss units
"things went Harstem" = a unit or a group of units was used in a stupid way and died (IODIS material)
"r/AllThingsEminem" = when a player has a crazy APM count but doesn't win
"jackpot winner/loser" = extremely efficient/inefficient trader (>2 times difference)
"went for a 30 inch pizza" = similar to "now that's rich" but not to that extent. ("Gumigod went for a 30 inch pizza with his early expansion on the low ground")
"%player_name% knows where Brazil is" = you didn't expect this player to have this skill ("Did you see that? A Bronze player who got his Orbital going! DemonLord knows where Brazil is!")
"Oh my God! They killed Kenny!" = when a unit you expected to die actually dies
"seems %player_name% is wearing their software developer stockings" = when a player makes a game very chaotic
I liked those videos from 7 years ago - they were more light-hearted and cheerful
You can see almost all of the Protoss building units flying in the air, the Colossus is probably using those levitation technologies
@15: min : something seconds. just drunk enough to be like, yeah, man, I'mma hit like. Cheeers Lowko.!!
A truly impressive performance by Clem! His gameplay never disappoints
I have an old video where I found a stock applause sound effect and I wanted to use the whole thing so I looped the video over it. It sucked, but I'm glad I comitted
Another great video! Thanks for casting these.
This doesn't change teh fact that we never even got to TOUCH the version of the Mothership they showed in the demo 10 years ago in any game mode. Yes I'm still bitter about that and will forever be because blizzard deserves it
Great cast as usual Lowko
I want you to start saying you're "flabbergasted" more often xD
When I look back to my previous projects, I feel bad about it too, I want to make it better too.
To be honest I'm surprised no one takes advantage of the Mothership as a defensive unit. On demand cloaking/time warp to stall attacks, and keeping an extra recall at home so you can have your army on the map rather than at home
I'd like to see that too.
I know people pluralise colossus as colossi but the proper pluralisation in English is colossuses. Of course that doesn't sound as fancy. Colossus is a Greek rooted word and people pluralise it as colossi which is a Latin pluralisation, which funnily sort of doesn't make sense in that context. Still colossi is legit to use xD
You know what's worse? When casters use "colossi" for a single colossus.
About you talking about trying new phrases or words: more than me offering some, maybe this would be a would be a good use of chatGPT! (actually, this is your idea, you said in another video it would be a good idea to get new map names). Try asking it different way to say some phrases that you feel you use repeatedly. One that pops in my head I hear you use frequently (though not in this video) is "put all eggs in one basket".
Hoping we get Lowko videos for another 7 years! (or more)
Swath. Like the Terra’s army is cutting a swath though enemy lines.
The High notes of beegees was kinda accurate xD
9:22 man lowko you are right. this game is totally not realistic. i also noticed marines and other troops dont have to walk back to the barracks to get more ammo after one stim. zerg is so much more real. it doesnt look strange at all when a viper abducts a mothership that is like 100 times its own weight.
Fun words:
acumen: shrewdness shown by keen insight; "Clem showing his late game acumen"
bereft: lacking or deprived of something; "MaxPax is now bereft of minerals"
circumvent: find a way around; "MaxPax completely circumventing that terran defense"
debacle: a sudden and complete disaster; "Clem now has a debacle on his hands"
exacerbate: make worse; "those Vikings just exacerbating the situation for MaxPax"
flagrant: conspicuously and outrageously bad or reprehensible; "MaxPax with a flagrant waste of those carriers"
hapless: unfortunate and deserving pity; "Clem's hapless marines walking into a trap"
instigate: provoke or stir up; "MaxPax's harassment instigating a brutal terran air response"
knell: the sound of a bell rung slowly to announce a death; "that stalker micro turning into the death knell for Clem"
linchpin: a central cohesive source of support and stability; "Clem's bio was the linchpin for that last game"
modicum: a small or moderate or token amount; "Clem showing MaxPax a modicum of respect for Clem's harassment ability by building those turrets"
Too lazy to go though the whole alphabet 😂
Great casts as always Lowko! I haven't played Sc2 for years (too stressful for me) but I still love your videos. 😊
when can we expect that early access for frostpunk 2 SURELY they will have you play it early to hype it up i'm sure you had a huge impact on the games popularity, i played it cuz you made a video on it and ended up loving it
new words -
discombobulated.
contentious.
incongruent.
I got the thumbnail with the green circle, what is obviously better then a red "x", and as such I watched imminently!
Viking is actually fair and balance unit 😂😂
23:10 boys floor is a purrication nova everyone up
50:35 that adept really said dude leave my bro alone arghh go away 😂
53:50 casters have researched the chrono boost ability.
"Colossus legs would bee inefficient" in what manner? Jiraffs, horses, bulls, ets are big ass animals on tiny legs - from what i heard its beneficial to have smaller contact point for leg as it take less energy to move.
And btw, they literally "tiptoeing" too, as they walk on nails of their toes)
Maxpax economically destroy the enemy like an invisible vampire drastically drain one's blood
To „improve“ instead of „getting better“
Great. Cast!
What a great series of games.
Phenomenal is a word you can use
Lowko!!!! Just a tinny bit of "advice", please give the viewers a couple of seconds before you end the video, so we have enough time to get back to TH-cam from whatever we are doing and give the LIKE to the video.
For example, most of the times i work and listen to your videos and the videos end way too abruptly after the match end, so i don't really have enough time to click the Like button before it transitions to a new video.
Keep up the great work.
Just disable autoplay then
@@LDSG_A_Team Think Mark, THINK!!!!
love the vids esp with these new maps
If their legs are long enough they can bring the body into a lower gravity altitude and decrease the weight. On earth they could be agricultural robots cruising the fields
I wish that reavers were in this game in place of disruptors, they do the same thing with less rng.
55:50 - try expunge
Do the vocab thing! Sounds fun haha
39:09 That's what she said
I thought supply depot can fly from the space and land one the map. The flying depots don't look like deep structures. ;-)
Lowko..please dont insult our god Maru.
Excuse me while i go do my daily prayer
Can someone teach me what the three symbols on the top right of the screen at the start of Lowko's videos mean?
Idk since when Zachary is the official name for zealots, but I love it
Can we get a best of Lowko sings album?
I'm guessing as they did their vetos they kept assuming the other player would eventually veto radhuset and then the final veto happened and whoever did the last veto went "ah screw it"
Just clicking the like button because Lowko said so. Video was amazing though
To be honest lowko, in the early days of people asking for likes on TH-cam, it kind of bothered me a little bit, it was a little annoying.. never so much that I would stop watching someone's content but it was a little ingratiating. However now it's become so normal and honestly it truly does help me remember to like videos, especially when I'm listening to a cast while driving or cooking or something.. so I wouldn't feel any shame in doing it nowadays especially when the numbers back it up.
Follow up now that I've gotten further along in the video, I can promise you as long as I breathe in air and you keep casting games, be it SC2, stormgate, or any other esport, I'll be here for it
21:33
Lowko: that guy forgot to cloak, apparently
Me: he was cloaked, Lowko, MaxPax had a photon cannon nearby.
*Lowko blindness strikes again*
Are void rays good at counting Vikings? Why nobody mix some in?
They are with flux vanes iirc, but not once terran gets to that viking count.
Basically you have to commit to sky toss early on, but that puts you in a poor position unless the terran player is playing greedily or you did some proxy cheese that did some damage early on.
In short from what I recall it is better to get terran to overcommit to building Vikings and then just bolster your ground army with more Stalkers and out position the terran player.
Perhaps they each expected the other to veto this map, so decided not to waste their veto when they could use it on another map instead?
No, not Perry the Probe ... Noooooooooooo 😭😭😭
TvP is still either A: Terran f**ks Toss OR Terrans f**ks up and Toss barly wins
I don't mind you asking to like and subscribe. In many cases I would have already liked it, but sometimes I forget. And you're not obnoxious with how you ask. That goes a long way.
Rip Perry the probe 😢
For some reason i only get mountain climbing ads for your videos no other channel i watch has mountain climbing ads
New word:
debacle
Vocabulary suggestion: Next week, use the word "sophomoric"
Perry the probe 😢😢😢😢
A bit of a hot take but I often see maps that are designed with maximizing the potential for terran defence in mind haha. Not to say that it makes the game complete bull, but it sure feels a bit biased when the map layout allows terran to safely defend on every game regardless of how strong their adversary may be
Approximately might be a word for you :)
Horseradish
Terran wins at Radhuset, what a suprise.
Use “Ubiquitous”
Try to place some "curmudgeon" and "curmudgeonly". Very funny words
“Yowzers”
gargantuan
Word of the day try: deleterious
fortuitous
MaxPax is actually a pair of identical twins, with Max using the keyboard and doing macro, while Pax uses the mouse and does micro. They communicate telepathically.
That's why you will never see MaxPax at offline events.
I also thought something similar, maybe Siamese twins
Bro! Taking it back to the good ole 2 kids in a Trench coat, one on the others shoulders, wearing a full brim hat and sunglasses... xD
I use your videos as fuel for my SC2 addiction
Yo thanks for the good vids! I don’t even play SC2 but watching after work is always a pleasure
its better then watch TV with a lot of ads ... !!!! sometimes its like a movie ,instant action !!!!
We are many in.the same situation 😅
I wonder how many of us there are. I don't play either, but I love watching a few of the content creators.
@@genehenson8851 Fun thing is that star craft more fun to watch than play
@@genehenson8851If i recall correctly lowko said one day that 70% of the viewers just watch sc2, but haven't played since months
Colossi are entirely robotic units, in case you were still curious :)
Wasn't AI restricted by Daelaam tho? So maybe they are very simple or at least remotely controlled?
@@jaroslavstepan6084 the restriction was on the purifiers, entirety digitized consciousnesses; robotic units like colossi, sentries, probes, etc. are "simple" robots
Weren't the collosi like ancient defenders of aiur ? At least that's what zeratul said during his missions in wings of liberty
Apparently they're controversial amung protoss. Many protoss don't trust them
Beautiful games, and great commentary of course.
For a new word to add to your vocabulary, I would opt for "efficacy."
It means "the ability to produce a desired or intended result."
Example: The efficacy of using Ultralisks to win a game in the previous balance patch is really low.
My vote for new word: feint. Such a cool word.
"These roaches are just a feint, Dark is still droning behind this. And a... spire?! Dark!"
Sorry, you know how it goes with him, bad example to choose.
Patch changed nothing. Protoss still heavily relies on getting good disruptor hits to have any chance in a straight up fight vs Terran. Terran can go MMM for 10 years and nothing gets changed but once a Protoss unit becomes a staple gg it’s nerfed
i dont play sc2 myself, but what i find curious is how hard colossus is countered by vikings. probably the most power difference between a unit and its counter in the whole game. like as soon as you have 5 vikings colossus is just no longer an option, because they kill an colossus in 1 (maybe 2) volleys with such range that you cannot really protect them.
no wonder protoss relies so heaviliy on disruptor, if their other splash dmg option (i dont count ht here because its conditional) is basically deleted post 7min ingame.
thinking about it, the other splash unit in archons gets just as hardcountered by ghosts...
@@raweon_path_of_exile1263a solution would be to simply remove the massive tag, and or reduce the massive bonus damage a bit. I mean the collosus is the only unit that allows a protoss to fight bio ghost head on, but just a few vikings make them not just countered, but completely unusable in any number. imagine if the viking damage would be such that you need double the amount of vikings to get the same effect? then they would still be counters, but would be a bigger commitment, and you could just keep building colossi and fight until they have so many vikings that that they get destroyed. I think it takes too little resources, supply and time to counter such a crucial unit this hard.
@@raweon_path_of_exile1263poor positioning led to excess Colossi deaths along with bad target focus, just like how clem lost a ton of SCVs because he didn't leave some damn vikings at home in game 5.
There were numerous times MaxPax could have punished clem for other mistakes, but didn't...all in all I think that this was the least impressive showings I have seen from either player and that both players made a ton of mistakes in that you'd expect from diamond players, just with better macro behind it.
Assuming it is because of the new map pool still throwing them off their game, but damn those were some meh pro games imo.
Idk why but each time protoss player wins a series I feel happy
33:20 This alone shows the OPness of Terran
Love how you can go in with 10 PLUS THREE CARRIERS, a Mothership, and a group of stalkers and get melted by terran with a group of vikings and marines. like cmon man.
Much bigger group of vikings, though. Upgraded too.
What do you think terran should have to kill that army then?
Vikings perfect unit there
Protos is a weak race is obvious
That 10 range on Vikings is ridiculous, it should be 8. Carriers and Colossus are so hard countered by them its ridiculous nad if u build stalkers to counter the counter, well they get destroyed by the marines. It's a lose-lose for Protoss.
Terran can use the same group of units to hard counter a broad range and can stack debuffs like emp and anti armor
50:30 I was never good at Starcraft, I would never even play anything except custom maps back in the Broodwar days and only did single player on SC2. But, I will still stop by to watch your casts. Appreciate you for keeping Starcraft in my life in some way!
10:00 Protos tech works off rule of cool, same with Zerg, what they can or can't adapt to is only constrained by it.
It can be a bit irritaiting when you realise that, but it sure is cool, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
a word to add to the cast: "verschlimmbessert" - still one of the best german words and means "tried to improve things, but made it much worse"
I love how MaxPax creates chaos with the zealots.
Last game was superb
