Big respect to the player who was struggling in the second-to-last game. Could have just packed it in, but he really put up a fight that was extremely entertaining to watch. Wish we had gotten to see more of that scrappy defense that was taking shape in game 3 before gg was called. It really felt like there could have been some interesting potential there after those defensive units started engaging.
Maxpax has been watching too many hero replays. Must be so frustrating as protoss, you stop zerg run by 19 times, but on the 20th attempt 50 probs go down and its game over.
Man... MaxPax seems to be very annoying to play against as a Zerg. He uses the same opener every game but you can barely do anything against it and if you even slightly slip once you're down 10+ workers and basically dead...
Reynor: 700 *avg* APM ?!?!? How's that possible? That's 11.7 actions _per second_ ! On average ! Is that some crazy early game spam trick with 5000 APM or something?
It’s inflated and not actually real. It’s certainly still impressive, but because it’s an average there are higher and lower peaks. Repeat rate is a concept you should wrap your head around too. Zerg has more instances than the other races of repeating commands. For instance if you want to make drones with 18 larvae, you would press S and hold D for a second or two. The rate at which the game registers how many times you press D is directly impacted by the keyboards refresh rate. So you could register 30+ actions just by holding down the D key. To us, this is just one action. But the game APM meter picks up all of this and clocks it as so. And yes, the early game APM spamming is a real thing too, but that doesn’t make it any less impressive either. The theory goes that they spam mouse clicks and rapidly select/deselect things in the first 3 minutes as fast as they physically can so their muscles are warmed up like tires on a car that way come 12 minutes later they can execute advanced micro and macro. 700APM is no joke tho. Even if his effective APM is half that, even a quarter of that, it’s still several actions a second. Compared to your average ladder hero that will struggle to even get 100+ APM, it’s damn impressive by any metric.
@@italicxd I know I know, but at most they'll make 50-100 zerglings, i.e. 25-50 eggs twice a minute (larva inject cooldown is ~30 s) and that's unusually many, which would inflate APM by just 50-100. Of course there's also baneling-morphing etc., but still. Also, I remember Reynor being around 500-550 for many years (not 100% sure tho), so I'm surprised to see this jump to 700.
Hey Lowko, I do enjoy your SC2 casts, been watching them for quite some years by now. I actually don't watch other casters anymore, only very rarely. Sometimes I like to watch Uthermal or Harstem (mainly is it imba), but only occasionally. But I do want to give you a little bit of critique, lately, maybe about a year or so, you seem to make these clickbait titles for the videos, that for me gives many times an expectation of something that rarely seems to deliver. Anyway, great casts, but I do hope you consider if your titles are the ones that bring you spectators, or if you have already such a commited audience that it seems irrelevant. I'd rather name this game something like "Reynor and Maxpax very tight game".
TH-cam Algo changed... You need to set soft clickbait Titles to get your normal clickrate Other TH-camr talked about that a few times that he tried it without "clickbait" and his Channel get like 50% less Clicks
Did anyone ever consider that max could be using hacks wich can´t get detected easily. And that this could be the reason why he not participating in offline tournaments? just asking for a friend
Changeling Trick 50:23
thanks!
Seeing this makes me miss infested terrans

In the vast expanse of E-Sports, Reynor shines as a Zerg luminary, leaving stardust in his wake.
I do respect him but I don't like his playstyle...
IDK why but I find the top both European Zerg, Raynor and serral boring af
52:30 Oracle being snatched like that had me laughin for a second
For Lowko: Serral looks pretty dominant when he is playing for Basilisk in the team league.
That was the first time I have ever seen changelings doing anything in a battle
Thanks for the video, Lowko. These guys are so creative with their engagements. ❤
an hour long MaxPax series...let's go!!!!!!!!!!
*I do hope Max plays offline tourneys eventually*
Lowko, having MaxPax's name in the title IS the clickbait lol. The man is so good! Never fails to entertain
I love how the Dutch can recognize that we're too blunt and that people might think we're mean but then we just keep going. Truly the greatest people.

10:40 Serral has proven in the last few years that he is the true GOAT of SC2, hands down.
That final game, good lord. Is this peak StarCraft2? Sweaty palms from the moment harass began until GG
reynor beating maxpax solidifies him as being back in my eyes
Reynor has a crazy win-rate against MaxPax the last year.
12:50 adept fighting till the end and the oracle only watching, there wasn't energy
Poor Xanus the Immortal. He didn't get invited by the mama ship.
Xanus was Kerriganed, poor Xanus
Finally Reynor showing off again!
great games! great series!
I totally agree Lowko,
putting all your ex into one basket is fun to watch 😆
Changelings overpowered
Is there some clock-bait instruction manual that lowko got a hold of or something
Yes a new fresh upload ❤🇵🇭

Idk why protoss just feels boring to watch for me..... Zerg is enjoyable
Reynor doing a number on AlphaZero
Aiye the music was sooo loud on this recording

Has maxx pax ever said why he doesn’t play offline tournaments?
Newb question. Why are there never any mirror matches between these top players?
Why have Raynor gone MIA?
rant away but not today...
sure^^
I always find myself rooting against Protoss for some reason. I seem to dislike them on a visceral level. 😂
In before Reynor loss in a Lowko vid.
Serral played in WTL after Masters. Just destroying people as usual.
were gonna find at some point that Maxpax IS Serral, in disguise.
Guess you don't call them OPTOSS for no reason.
25:50 best unit in the game is misleading. There should be categories. Stalkers are main fighting units and oracles are special tactics units.
Did anyone ever consider that max could be using hacks wich can´t get detected easily. And that this could be the reason why he not participating in offline tournaments? just asking for a friend
I assume reynor lost this match bc lowko is casting it
High Templar
Loko stop being zerg bias as well as Seral bias lmaoo
You ain't Dutch you ain't much!
❤
Hell yeah 2nd view :3
12 seconds. 1 view? Nice
dutch ppl love bragging about being direct and speaking your mind until they meet an american 😂
Hi mom
you were adopted.
😶🌫
only 79 views at 4 min? lowko fallin off...
Washed-up
Ach, once again a whole series is decided by a missing zealot in the door. So dumb ...
We get it, you like MaxPax. Your bias towards him is borderline obnoxious.
yes its been a while since baneling nerf, get over it
I'm sorry that Lowko gave you information about the game he is casting during a video that you chose to watch
No wonder Reynor doesn't like you. You've done nothing but criticize every play he makes. 😂
I’m sorry but I consider any game Max Pax plays as non canon. Either he plays in offline tournaments or it’s just a waste.
offline?
@@gabapc yep. Thanks.
You should be ASHAMED of your click bait title. So gross. 🤮
Hey just so you know, I downvote shitty clickbait vids, so feel free not to make them. Normal SC2 is fine with high level players.
lol blame TH-cam my brother either you get tame “click bait” or he misses out on tons of eyes…
