Hey Lowko, I just wanted you to know that before you about 3/4 years ago I had never watched any SC2 or even played it before. I’ve been watching religiously in the background kind of as a lurker never commenting. I just wanted you to know that you’re the reason that I even play the game! I’m also loving your Age 4 content!
This was definitely worth the watch full screen on my TV (the way everyone should watch a Lowko video). I felt a few chills when Maru did the thing in the title because, at the same time, my favorite theme from the soundtrack was ramping up. Thanks for the video, Lowko!
Zerg v Terran is definitely my favorite matchup to listen to, the way the units all have purpose and counters, and how compositions evolve throughout the match makes for great listening while I work. Hearing the hero marauder block a choke in sim city was absolutely hilarious and it made me pick up my phone to witness it. Great casting as always!!
I just hate that there are so few late game zerg units that can efficiently fight terran. Once ghosts come out you might as well delete broodlords and Ultralisks and INfestors from the game and even Vipers to a certain extent cause Ghosts nullify EVERYTHING
@@LowkoTV I also prefer the old one, for whatever reason I love seeing how much each player is earning instead of something like "more", "even more" and "a lot" that the arrows seem to apply.
Not even 40% percent of them had the chance to attack even once before they had been massacred, but despite this, 40% more damage would be huge! Maybe a game changer!
Then again they were mines everywhere and a lot of them died before even getting the chance to attack. Granted the bonus is huge but still that could've been on purpose.
21:48 those are burrowed Zerglings! I spent half the game trying to figure out why that supply depot had 3 blue spots, thought those were mineral patches, lol
I have never rooted that hard for a player. I'm surprised Maru can sit down at all considering the massive pair of balls it took to stim into those lurkers.
Great vid as usual, Lowko. Love your stuff. One thing: I think if you're going to rate a player by their tournament earnings, you should consider the number of tournaments they've participated in and / or how long they've been around. For example a player might earn 500k in a decade, while another earns 900k in only two years - it's clear to see who the better player is. Similarly if a player has won every tournament they've ever taken part in, it stands to reason that they're better than someone else who has a worse win/loss ratio.
Medivacs heal at 12.5 hp/s Shield batteries restore shields at 50 sh/s Overcharged batteries restore shields at 100 sh/s without draining energy No comparison.
I don't think Maru gets enough recognition for his unit positioning and sim city. He units are always there where they need to be and has nasty choke points ready for the zerg wherever they attack.
Surprised to see rogue make such a major mistake (missing adrenal and +3 melee until so late) wonder if it would’ve gone differently if he had those earlier
Lowko: You're stimming bio into lurkers?! Isn't that what you're NOT supposed to do? Maru: Is you name Chuck Norris? Lowko: Ehmm... no? Maru: Then you don't get to tell me what I'm not supposed to do!
Loved seeing that Lurker army get absolutely smashed by Marine / Marauder. Everyone knows you CAN beat a Lurker ball with a great concave of stimmed Marines and Marauders, but pulling it off is nearly impossible... unless you're Maru, of course. That was an absolutely game-saving move right there -- if he hadn't have stopped the Lurker army at that point it would have slow-pushed over his base and he knew it.
Quick question: if both your units and your enemy's are fully upgraded, wont they still be on exactly equal footing? In other words, would it essentially be the same situation if both sides had zero upgrades? (Excluding damage to structures and workers, ofc)
Привет! Постараюсь написать максимально написать максимально четко, чтобы не было проблем с переводом. Недавно было видео, где вы разбирали расу Гибридов в режиме 1х1. Полагаю, это связано с таким каналом, как Alex007. Однако здесь выходит небольшая дезинформация, ведь Гибриды не победили на этом турнире четвертой расы. Победители это Кейроны (Keirons or Keyrons). Что насчет посмотреть их?
You are missing the context, because Maru was still up 20-30 army supply after losing the workers, so Rogue had to make more unit instead of drone and defend Maru counter-push. That give Maru time to build up the worker difference, and he also killed like 10-15 workers back from Rogue. So in the end, Rogue was not able to expand as greedy as he could and Maru managed to catch up eventually.
The biggest downside to your new UI is when you discuss eco. "That being said, it's not like Rogue has that killer of an eco either, right?" How are we supposed to know when we can't see income anymore?
Solid game by Maru, cracklings are key late game. No excuse for a pro gamer. You can even see the difference with a naked eye. Almost like forgetting ling speed early game.
Imo zerg has been nerfed too much (because of serral ) Queens ,hydras, banelings, infestors, roaches , even creep, now only top players can still use it, the micro has become so difficult. If a player loses 38 workers it should be gg ….
Idk, tbh I think that Serral, Dark, and Rogue ( who beat Serral this tournament ) look pretty unstoppable against most Terran players. Maru is just a freak/force of nature.
imbal/ nerfed Z agreed, Z pratically never has efficient trades.. and every unit of Z has a better version somewhere else. like banelings? how about widowmine or disrutors? lurkers are literally 4th tier late game units specialized for anti mass bio ground yet maru pushes through them with basic marines and medivacs... kill over 30 workers? no big deal. terran masses ghosts? its over... Game so broke. Its not a sport when they constantly change and add rules every few years to meet there diversity/ image narrative.
Serral didnt win IEM, Rogue and Soo did, Dark and Rogue also won multiple GSLs and Dark won the Blizzcon as well. But somehow Serral ALONE got all the "credit" for getting Zerg nerfed. Typical fanboy.
Maru was just playing a massive game of denial. Terran is amazing at self defense and quickly getting bases replaces with orbital commands. If you can deny your opponent 2 bases and hold on even if you are not mining all of yours your enemy is mining even less. There is no reason to push hard into zerg territory mid to late into the game.
actually, last month the ZvT winrate was over 52%, so Zergs were favored. Now, in July, Terran was favored at more than 54%, and in August and September Terran was favored at 51%. But in October, Zergs kinda crushed Terrans
TvZ yes. be careful with what stats you use to see win rates. terran and protoss players will use cumulative stats from other bal patch versions and or only look at pro level... In reality, as of last bal patch, using stats from pro and grandmaster games.. game broke asf.
Can you please cast one Maru vs Zerg game where he looses ? Or does that games not exists. I'm tired of seeing this games, because however they went in the end it's Maru. Still clicking and hoping he will finally loose once in a thousend years, and then said that he again wins.
Considering Maru's Win Rate against Zerg lately, you are going to be hard pressed to find that That's just how he is man, he's REALLY good against zerg
not enough accomplishments to be considered one of the greatest of all time. very strong player for the last couple years, but serral, maru, rogue, and innovation have been going strong for much much longer

This game was phenomenal, each player back-and-forth sinking into potentially losing positions, then clawing their way back up into an even fight.

Thank you for being so entertaining with the casting of SC II. Maru is becoming my favorite player
Keep the good stuff coming thanx dude
8:51 just wanna point out that Maru got medivac to pick up those SCV so that run by only killed 2 scv, such beautiful move by Maru
That was brilliant.
I have never rooted that hard for a player. I'm surprised Maru can sit down at all considering the massive pair of balls it took to stim into those lurkers.

Love the fact that 3 Zerglings burrowed for a good 20 mins and Maru didn't care about scanning... I'd called them the scouting champions lol
After scouting the initial move out those lings were dead supply, I think Rogue probably forgot they were there after the mid game.
