StarCraft 2: HUGE AIR WARS - Battlecruisers vs Carriers! (Spirit vs Creator)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ส.ค. 2023
- Professional match of StarCraft 2 from Gamers8 between Spirit (Terran) and Creator (Protoss). This match feels like it skips almost straight to the late game, as both players want to focus their armies on the biggest and baddest units of them all: Battlecruisers, Vikings and Ghosts for Terran and Tempest, Carriers and the Mothership for Protoss.

Your videos always put me into a 12 o'clock position Lowko
LMAO
Always.
Meanwhile young people unable to read a clock are at 6:30.
Seriously, what astonished me always are young people claiming "hey, I don't get this reference so you have to stop using it".
Yeah... I could sink to your level, or you could rise to mine?
We so rarely see Protoss win, its kinda nuts. As a casual viewer, it always seems like everytime it goes into these late game armies scenarios, Protoss dwindles out with time and then eventually loses the vast majority of the time.
Same here, casual viewer - played SC 1 and 2 campaign, but never multiplayer. Terran enthusiast. I, too, am confused about where Protoss are supposed to excel. Zerg and Terran endgame comps seem... somewhat balanced against each other. At the same time, they both seem to reliably defeat Protoss endgame at the extreme top of the meta.
Similarly, Zerg and Terran early aggression appears to outperform 'toss early aggression. Terran cheese and terran harass both seem to outperform 'toss cheese and harass. Terran and Zerg economies reliably expand faster than that of the Protoss. Zerg units tend to be faster than those of the Protoss. Terran units tend to hit harder than those of the Protoss. Protoss units and structures have numerous associated liabilities holding them back with few parallels among zerg and terran units/structures; pylon power, colossi can be hit by air and ground, shields get instawiped en masse by EMP, few/unimpressive splash damage options, bowling-ball gameplay scales especially poorly against high APM, Carriers effectively cost resources to use (interceptor rebuilding), the mothership is a huge liability that seems more or less programmed to be impossible to protect consistently, endgame resource bottleneck tends to be gas-based, which is more problematic than a mineral bottleneck, etc etc.
Protoss victories seem to be predicated entirely on using clutch combat abilities such as blink and storm in conjunction with incredibly narrow timing windows to create a vulnerability where none would otherwise exist, which then demands absolute perfect opportunity-taking from the protoss player to convert such an advantage into a victory. Truly, it is exhausting watching these players try to create/wait for an opening, THEN try (and usually fail) to capitalize on it. 2/3 times, Zerg can withstand a really bad beat from Protoss, recover, and win anyway. Even the Terrans manage to pull it off from time to time.
Crazy how someone who's never played multiplayer before can easily point out all of these issues, but some people who have been playing MM for years are somehow blind to it.
Endgame with protoss I move to the end, if the protoss wins I go back and watch, spoiler: this rarely happens
@@hughjass5494 Not only that. Carrieras have absolutely 0 DPS compared to BCs. Just check how many carriers are required to shot down a BC. Considering the BC does not use yamato, of course. Even P recall takes ages compared to Tactical Jump, which allows the BC to shut down a few Protoss flyers before teleporting.
@@facundopirola812 Yeah, I have to assume something is wrong when I feel bad for protoss players, when I'm a Terran guy and I don't even play competitively. It's pretty fucked up.
Idk if its just me but watching protoss in current meta is kinda miserable most of the time. Their only good answer is either early game aggresion or bowling
It's not just you, though I'd argue that it's not so much PvX that is miserable but XvT, with the misery escalating rapidly as things move into the late-game.
Protoss historically has always been the overtuned race. With WoL, Terran was broken. Then HotS came out, and Zerg was basically unstoppable with all the buffs they got to even the field with Terran. Then when LotV came out, Blizzard was like "ok maybe just make real small changes real slow" and didn't really get any broken moments.
For an advanced race, Protoss late game feels so clunky. While Terran pokes and runs with Yamato, nukes, tactical jumps, EMP..., Protoss can only run around like headless turtles. Heck, even the ability to detect invisibility is so risky for Protoss.
Religious fanatics who value large energy guns and golden designs over practicality. Although some more spells would be welcome
Spirit even built the Super Bunker, that is a rarity! I am glad I was able to see that. My boy really do enjoy taking his time and play the game at his own pace xD
Anybody else feel like protoss for awhile has had the shorter end of the stick?
To be fair, I'm 4000% sure that if I was handed the terran's army at the end of this video, I would have lost comically quickly.
“Colossus drop… it feels weird in my mouth.” Underrated comedy from Lowko.
Shows you how worthless Colossus become once Terran has Vikings out.
Please don't change lowko. You're pretty much our lullaby, casting your way towards our comfortable sleep. Thank you man.
white noise of starcraft, hell i dont even play anymore but still find this relaxing.
i don't think i've seen nearly as many protoss late game wins as any other, they rarely win in the pro games with the skytoss
Its because skytoss is "the strongest army" yet is hard countered by 30 vikings and an a-move... i have 0 clue why any pro has built skytoss in the last year
Protoss is trash designed faction. Terran has all the toys. Zerg just works.
@@lothar3073 they need major reworks to their air force. The fact that they get slightly buffed and are unbeatable but then get nerfed slightly and they’re useless. I don’t get it
@@YoungbloodEric BW has this balance where protoss has expnsive, low damage but is extremely tough unit. Here units are expensive, low damage and wet paper. Capital ships are supposed to lack mobility but nevermind, tactical jump. That ability should be deleted. They even have yamato and cheap vikings. The best capital ships and light air
@@YoungbloodEric I call that the slippery slope game design, sometimes you make something that is just a balancing trap and the solution is not changing numbers, but mechanics. You're right, a major rework is needed.
I watch your videos every night when I'm going to bed. But not to put me to sleep. I watch sc2 and try and stay awake, it just so happens I like your commentary the best
I miss the times when the Golden armada was something to be feared in starcraft
protoss capital ships are just too expensive at this point. they are great units but you are punished every time you lost some air units. while terrans can just spam vikings(carriers cost like two vikings). terran's capital ship is also more versatile with yamato and tactical jump.
The way he used the mothership was pretty neat. Just recall out of the range of BCs and immediate attack w Tempests.
I been yelling at the pro protoss ever since they got destoryed by terrans in the late game to do this
@@Name-ru1kt …and they still get destroyed.
@@etherstrip Of course they did, make scans COST MORE bc terran get scans for days
always exciting to see protoss still not be able to be competitive
I knew this was gonna happen. Ever seen a AIR TOSS win? Never. they always get smashed by terran and zerg air.
Race that prides of space armada sure sucks at spaceship fights
For real
terran just spams cheap vikings
Im definitely guilty for falling asleep to your videos 😅
This ain’t a good look for lowko😂
His voice is so calming tho so like
Im guilty of this all the time. His voice helps me fall asleep
I am SUPER guilty of this. But my watch history and lowkos video page have pretty much all been watched and rewatched.
That ain’t smth to write home about!
Yes, it is a compliment. Your voice and accent are one of the main reasons why I watch you exclusively. The other reason is your passion for the game and enthusiasm.
Somebody falling asleep while listening to your casting videos definitely is a compliment, you seem to have a calming voice tone. I am watching your videos fo like 5 years maybe and rarely any other SC video impresses me. Still watching your videos in my late 20s having a kid already. Keep up the good work, you found your "place" in the world. Take care
@LowkoTV, A decade ago I used to watch starcraft matches at night in bed (anytime I had the chance), and I got used to falling asleep to day[9] and Husky starcraft. Recently I've started sleeping alone again and going through some tough times. I thought back on those old times, and decided to bring some popcorn into bed with me and find a starcraft match to watch, just like I used to; after all, no one can stop me from doing that now. I quickly gravitated towards your channel, I think largely for your positive and upbeat demeanor on a solo-cast and daily uploads. I'm not playing SC2 everyday anymore, but its always entertaining to watch and helps bring back good memories of high school days. I always know there will be a new video to watch to help me decompress if I need it at the end of the day. So yeah: for me, falling asleep to your videos is a huge compliment. It's like a special honor and a meaningful part of my life. I appreciate what you do, keep it up
Late game PvT Air to Air is a sadly a huge skip to me. I can confidently go to the end of the video and expect a short fight that will end in a second with those Yamato Cannons.
Late game PvZ usually goes the same way, disappointing.
As someone who often watches your videos to fall asleep I can confirm it is a compliment, I do watch your casts during the day time, but I also find them weirdly relaxing to doze off to
Throwing my hat into that "falling asleep to Lowko" camp - but also good to watch while I'm working too, these are the only SC2 comp videos I watch - you're great you've taught me so much about all of them
I don't watch your videos to fall asleep, I watch them as soon as I wake up in order to start my day on a positive note! I love your videos, your commentary, and of course, the matches themselves. Thanks for another great video Lowko!
Kudos to Creator for holding out as much as he did.
When terran gets the critical amount of vikings/ghosts my skytoss army usually just evaporates on the first successful EMP hit.
26:39 That's really sad to be honest....how come a unit that expensive can be so bad, late attack, heavy. I don't get how BCs can teleport since that should be more a Protoss thing. Obviously every time you see equal BCs and Carriers battle you know is Protoss end.
Im so tired of seeing Terran have all the right tools for everything
I think there is something fundamentally weird about the designs of the races where both terran and zerg are kind of standard races that work around steady levels of production and armies that are meant for large scale engagements, protoss always strives towards creating some sort of an advantage for itself to secure engagements and that is not really possible in an endgame scenario where even if you were really ahead of your opponent 10 minutes ago or whatever, you eventually both settle with maxxed out armies and the protoss army can't really win the engagements, it is still trying to get some sort of an advantage, but to no avail.
You got a nice voice, it's nice to fall asleep too but also entertaining to watch the whole thing. It's like TV. You have a continuous voice over your videos that it almost makes a rythm, compared to other casters which are so focused on the game. You add some trivia and some fun chit chat. Keep it up lowko!!!! And yes whether you like it or not You are an AMSR channel
It is a compliment Lowko. Your voice is just really good, if a match is good I watch but if I really want to sleep I just close my eyes and listen to your cometary imagining all the stuff that's going on and I fall asleep ❤
this is something that i have been wondering for a while now why does protoss, the race with the most supply heavy units and slowest units doesnt have something that can disable or slow other enemy units? plus their the only race which cant heal hp (just to be clear i know they have stasis wards but those only work on ground) terran has emp and interference matrix, zerg has fungel groth and neural parasite, protoss has storm and stasis wards but not something to either slow or disable other units
there's the skill of the mothership though, it does slow both movement and attack speed. Plus they do have a superior mobility since they can recall anywhere in the map, whereas both zerg and terran have to move back. And let's not forget warp, which is creating units on spot instead of the other corner. We don't have it that bad there, it's just a positioning thing
@@eintha3883 They gave BCs Recall for some reason.
@@eintha3883 hmm thats true its just that i get the feeling they are missing something
It's funny how the whole idea that the new generation don't know about 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock position on the map confuses you so much that this is (I think) the second video you mentioned it lol.
Welcome to getting older Lowko, the first time realizations like that hits you, you won't look at the world the same way ever again.
Omg I been listening to you before sleeping for almost a year now. Works like magic when I can’t fall asleep
Lowko, the Bob Ross of SC2 commentators.
18:06 That's what I do as well. Your voice is so calm that it helps me to fall asleep really fast 😴 and this is a compliment!
I frequently watch your videos to fall asleep. I enjoy watching the game casting and I think that's part of the problem. If I'm tired, relaxing on the couch, and in a comfortable place, I will fall asleep immediately. Better than a sleeping pill.
Not gonna lie. I've been watching for years and I pass out every time. Thank you for helping with my horrible insomnia
Watching you before I sleep is the best, and is totally a complement! I feel comfortable hearing you 😊
Remember in Battlestar Galactica, where the Cylon ships are chasing down the humans, jumping into their space and the human fleet keeps jumping away? That was this game.
Dude, I watch your videos to fall asleep pretty much every night. It’s awesome. Thank you.
How on earth do people…there are so many analogue clocks around! What person thought it was a good idea to stop learning how to tell the time by them?
Great video as always Lowko 😊. Happy to hear your voice my friend ❤️
It’s a compliment loko. I am often times so busy but don’t want to miss out on the games so I throw on the video and fight sleep so I can’t enjoy my sc2
It is 100% a compliment that people, myself included, watch your videos to fall asleep
my case, your vids to lunch time and then the coffie :) Tks a lot!
You do have a good sleep video regimen for me ngl. Comes up right before I'm going to sleep.
That was such a cool game! I don't see nearly enough late game TvP
I love falling asleep to nice voices - definitely a compliment :)
Lol i was just watching that crazy long spirit game from a month ago and then this pops up with Spirit again
It's true that in modern day, we have electronic clock with number and some adults are not even bother to teach their kid the basic thing because those are thought to be unnecessary. This doesn't mean you should use it lesser, but more, so they might have to find out themselves for such basic skill. Great video!
I throw on some Lowko to walk or Jog to. I've also thrown on a game to have a couple beers and pizza to before I get back to some WoWcraft. Keep up the great content! Thank Lowko!
Concur with the sleep comment. I was going to post it a while ago but thought it would come off as rude. It's definitely a compliment. Love putting one of your vids on and drift off. It's quite soothing. For reference, x-files and Forensic Files also are great sleep shows. Few others I can't remember now too
Yes i do fall asleep to your videos every night 😂
I'm an insomniac and your voice helps soothe me to sleep like few other things can... so it is the highest compliment I can give.
LOOOOOOLL😂😂
SO funny that he said that i've using his videos to fall asleep for a while now xD
I didn't know it was a thing 😅
8 out of 10 videos I watch from you are when im going to sleep. The other 20% is when im drinking!! Cheers
At 18min 20sec…. Lowko. I love your casts, a lot, and yeah to be honest it was the only thing that could help me sleep for a long time. Like, i would play music all night (I am a professional musician) and would watch your videos till I fell asleep. For me, it really helped with my tinnitus after particularly loud gigs
we know the clock Lowko and we do fall asleep with your videos. I`m watching the second half today since I fell asleep watching it yesterday.
24:40 ish, best part is i have never played SC2 but for some reason i really enjoy the casting and gameplay. First dozen games i did not understand a single term coming out of your mouth, but i caught up
Hey Lowko! Yeah! I do love watching the video while I put myselves to sleep especialy after a harda day work :)
I feel called out, can confirm that your videos help me fall asleep lol😂
I watch TH-cam videos to fall asleep every night. I feel like it's the biggest compliment and free views for the youtuber. I definitely have fallen asleep watching your casts before very relaxing.
As a person that sleeps pretty well: I can confirm that is thanks to you lowko, you got something in ya voice pretty smooth
I'm not even gonna lie, I am one of those people that watch your awesome videos to fall asleep 😅 love you lowko! Also I watch a ton if not every video you post!
That's totally true with watching you to fall asleep. But that's great - nice chill for the end of the day.
I was like the mothership is there how is he killing the tempest. Then I saw constant scanning
I like the 9 and 3 o clock part.
Love your videos!
Damn you caught me totally listen to casts as I fall asleep
I have to admit that I also using your videos to fall asleep 😂 good to know that I am not only one.
18:12 LOL i do the same with every starcraft 2 cast idk why but they relax me enough to sleep (even when i'm entertained )
18:06 calling me out in the act xD
exactly, sometimes I fall while listening to your channel.
I sleep with your videos, I love it
Hopefully new patch will make these late-games more competitive for Protoss
u r our sleeping therapist Lowko keep up the great work
I feel so guilty masking while sleeping hearing him talking about it at 18:15
I don't watch you video to specifically fall asleep I put on the ones I already watched to fall asleep too
I definitely watch your videos to go to sleep lol. I turn off the volume and turn down my screen brightness and I’m off to dream land in 5 min.
I cant sleep, i open lowko commentary
41:03 Lowko..?😳
Funny you know about Bob Ross. I did not expect that.
I'm one of those bedtime watchers. I think your voice is nice, and you have a great cadence. Also genuinely your commenting is so good I don't need to watch to know whats going on in a game.
Oof, one can quite clearly see that T always has been the favourite race of blizzard and its consequences echo through tons of design til this day.
I watch your videos at lunch, and yeah, at night to put me to sleep when Nukes Top5 cant 🤣🤣
17:28 Ghost shits his pants and it activates cloak by accident
Terran Arsenal:
Ghost EMP to wipe out Shields to literally everything
Nukes that provide insane value late-game
Vikings that outrange all protoss air units
Ground units that outrange protoss ground units
Battlecruisers with Yamato canon that 1-shots voidrays, Tactical jump to get right on top of Protoss army, Insane amount of Defense so interceptors barely deal any damage
Infinite Orbital energy for infinite Mules + Scans that can be cast globally
Protoss:
Expensive, slow, clunky units that can't even fight Terran late game in a head-on fight.
Just change the game name to Terrancraft.
While I agree that TvP lategame is pretty abysmally Terran favored, you should probably not spread misinformation LOL.
Nukes don't always get good value, they did in this game but certainly don't always get 'insane value'
Also..Vikings...outranging Tempests? They're a good unit certainly but give to them for what they're actually good at (insane dps and kite range) rather than just lying.
Also, Terran ground units...like all are outranged. Aside from maybe the Adept, Archon, and Sentry, I think every other unit has the same or larger range.
Ye, BC stuff is right.
@totallynotminx4682 admittedly I may have exaggerated a tiny bit. HOWEVER, there is a common sight in TvP air battles. Skytoss can't really be the aggressor or they just get decimated. As shown in this game Creator had to be extremely careful. Terran can jump on the army and if the Protoss didn't recall fast enough, bye bye protoss army. I do think Creator botched it in the end when he let his army get Yamato'd.
Against battle cruisers what does Protoss have?
Voidrays = 1 shotted by Yamato
Carriers = Gets owned by Yamato
Phoenixes = does nothing
Tempests = Owned by Yamato if not out of range
What I really want to see baked into Stormgate is support for what Lowko does with calling games. When Lowko records these videos it would capture a replay of what he is viewing but let me take the audio and either let the replay drive or I could take over and change my view of the actual game reply. And if Lowko jumps back it should also jump back in sync with the audio. There could be an optional green screen mode so that there could be an overlay over the game reply as well. Then either have the integrated with TH-cam or build it into the game. This would make Stormgate a lot more fun.
DotA does that, or at least used to.
@@Komatik_ DotA?
Hours are positioned differently on my (24-hour) analog watch - 12 is on the bottom and 6 is on the right:)
18:20 Hello there!
I get you Lowko! My 16 year old son still struggles with analog clocks.
I'll take it as a compliment it means you have a soothing voice 😅
a 50 game?!
got my popcorn and Root beer, *let's do this* !
TIL that Tempests don't get their bonus damage against buildings when shooting at lifted Terran structures.
Can confirm. Your videos put me to sleep like a baby
Damn, gresvan is a good map if so many cool matches happen there
Nah its just a Terran map and they just sit there and turtle for 50 mins and then A move their 50 vikings into whatever and win... this map has the same playstyle and ending in every "great" game that happens on it. Soooo boring. I knew who would win by the thumbnail.
Happy little nuke accidents does help me sleep Lowko 😅
ugh hard to watch protoss just get picked apart like that. seems hopeless.
I am sorry, but these videos are great to fall asleep to! discovered it on accident
Protoss late game air feels like they just dont have enough units at max vs terrain.
Yeah I often use your vids to sleep as background sound
Literally watching this for the third time because I keep falling asleep to Lowko's casts and I wanna finish the game, and he goes ahead and calls me out for falling... asleep... 💤
Lol, I thought I am the only one😂 I actually put your latest video when I go to bed, basically every day for the past 3-4 years. Before I used BBT, and before Family Guy to fall asleep. Everything else does not work. My wife got used to it.
