- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2024
- Top level game of StarCraft 2 between Oliveira (Terran) and Dark (Zerg). While the new SC2 World Champion Oliveira is a well-known game in the StarCraft 2 community, he recently really stepped it up. In this game he takes on Dark in a straight-up battle on Gresvan. One of the very best games from IEM Katowice.

You heard what Oliveria said: "Even if you are a normal person, you can still become world champion".
I'll be rooting for you Lowko next year. You can do it
I mean he did pretty good in the micro challenge. Did better than plenty of “professional” players.
And hits the strategic play by knowing what they will go for so I mean…..
At this rate MaxPax might show up in person.
@@Neloish who the fuck is that
Note to self: Oliveira is a filthy liar.
I had uninstalled SC2 one month ago since one company closed server in China. But I downloaded it again when I heard Time won the game. Now I have to play in US region. I also heard TIME planned to leave SC2 last year since he had a bad score last year. Time told us DO NOT GIVE UP.
Oliveira really seems to have come out of nowhere. His victory speech was touching. Quickly becoming a fan of the kid.
He's TIME, but for some reason changed his account name. Still doesn't change the fact that he's doing great considering how he's always been an underdog among the top players until now.
@@joshuakim5240 thanks for the background! Did not know that
@@joshuakim5240 from what I have heard, his new name came from former ufc lightweight champion Charles Oliveira, who has been considered to be a mid tier fighter with no shot at the belt until his legendary tile run with 11 (I think) consecutive wins.
Its Time, and my favorite sayings are "it Haas to be cheese" and "can never have too much Time"
did u know? change the name is one of change the fortune, some of east people believe that, and Oliveira proof
The entire katowice was incredible. But what i will remember the most is the faces of those loosing to Oliveira, like "how is this possible??" Even Maru raising an eyebrow. Thanks for your work, Lowko!!
Maru was devastated. He simply couldnt believe what just happened, that he lost in very regular games against an opponent, dthat was simply better than him and that he never would have expected to. Reynor aswell.
I could only really watch the last day of the event, but seeing that anyone can surprise in such a scene is awesome and I really enjoyed it alot.
Yeah, I've never seen Maru get crushed that badly. Maru has a knack for staying in games when he should be dead, but he was so far dead there was no resurrecting.
LOSING. Only one S!
Loosing isn’t even a word!
The best part of Oliveira name is, we no longer have to deal with TIME puns
Oh don't be so sure about that xD
guess what
Aloe Vera
@@tjw2469 that's way better
What? are you thinking puns are a waste of Time?
There's a Time and place for everything.
Oliveira says he has a really good TvZ strategy on this map.
Split the map, keep pushing the south hatchery, and zerg will run out of money at about 30 minutes.
His match against Reynor at Katowice was exactly the same playstyle. (Katowice Ro8, 4th map)
TIME is thinking of donating to a school, and ppl are suggesting it to name it "the ghost academy".
he really took his time to become oliveira
Dark's control of spell casters is crazy.
That felt like one of the more confident victories over Dark I've seen in a while
Oliveira's run at Katowice was pretty damn inspirational. Time has always been one of those guys you see in a bracket, you expect him to play well, he's a fantastic player, he's just a tier below Serral, Maru, Reynor, Dark, Her0, etc. Then when the pressure was on, tons of money on the line, and having never won a premier tournament before he absolutely crushes it. He dropped lots of maps, he barely scraped by a couple of those series, but he pulled it out in the end. World champion. I was cheering so hard for him in those finals. Reminds me of how insanely excited i was to see Serral win Blizzcon back in 2018. I love this game so much.
There's something _so_ satisfying about TH-cam videos that are exactly to the minute. Thanks Lowko, you're the best.
5:17
Jimmy: WAIT!!! Aww c'mon Reaper, you've got a freakin jetpack, I gotta hoof it in this armor!
@@kamalaparkerballs Pretty sure he stimmed
The most iconic skill of Olivera is his tank's position. he knows what he's doing. GG Time lol
Oliveira is playing rock solid at the moment. I was speechless for an hour after watching the conclusion of IEM live. I tried to find some luck-related explanation for his winning over those giants like HerO and Maru, but hell no there was any luck factor involved. He nailed it beautifully, especially in the finals where he read Maru like a book.
At the end Dark probably looked at the terran bottom started mining too, so Oliveira had two bases mining and Dark 0.
The lurker snipes after the drop were incredible!
He absolutely SHIT on the Lurker drop.
I hated that part... its makes zero sense to me... sure Oli had high ground vision BUT the ghosts were on the low ground sniping lurkers on the high ground burrowed... how the hell did bullets that go in a straight line curve like a rainbow into the lurkers burrowed up top??? Zero sense is made there... zero...
Also I kinda hate ghosts, their steady targeting needs a big nerf, they shouldn't be able to one shot every top tier unit with very very few exceptions. Either a longer channel time, energy consumption, or drop in dmg is needed imo. Ghosts are still a tad too strong, any equivalent unit to the ghost has no where near the strength of utility and the power of super high single target dmg output... like viper/infester are really strong casters but they don't have an instant kill ability, sure High Templar are strong and have good area control as well as energy removal like the ghost but they can't insta kill like the ghosts... Ghosts can cloak, insta kill, remove energy, AND drop nukes that also one shot damn near everything...oh and ontop of that the only thing that requires research to unlock for the ghost is cloaking and its pretty cheap... nukes are cheap, Ghosts aren't super expensive and require no additional researches like other big heavy hitters do to do full dmg. Like ok they need to research cloak and make a nuke to fully utilize Ghosts, meanwhile to fully utilize hydra/lurker you MUST get 4 upgrades otherwise they hit like a wet noodle and can hit like only like 3 feet away and they also require multiple buildings/building upgrades, Ghosts only require 1 additional building besides their production structure and 1 upgrade to be godly... Ghosts really need a small tweaking to bring their raw natural power down a touch and more in like with other units of similar standing. At least they shouldn't be able to one shot things like Lurkers, Ultras, and Broodlords... big chonky units should take at least 3 snipes to kill not one... in the long run at the top of the ladder it wouldn't make too much of a difference but it wouldn't allow, like now, a small ball of 10-15 Ghosts to absolutely annihilate an opposing army in a fraction of a second...
@@SnyperMK2000JclL ah Zerg tears. So delicious.
@@SnyperMK2000JclL yeah i aint readin all that, chief
I was super disappointed at that point. Like imagine that was protos or another Terran. No matter what unit they had inside it would be dead
7:25 that traitor widow mine lol. Jimmy noooooo!
24:32 Dark has 201/200 supplies, very cool
Dark needed broodlords, he's won this exact fight over the same base vs terran ghost liberator lategame before, vs Byun I believe, with the same composition except broods instead of lurkers. The advantage broods give you is vision,, better manueverability since they aren't affected by terrain, as well as more consistent damage output.
He took Maru turtle play style and made The Oliveira snapping turtle style, the way he can just deal with vipers/infestors and lurkers tells alot.
One of the most enjoyable games I have seen
Oliveria strategically not taking the North base baiting the opponent into suffering heavy losses trying to take and maintain that base.
Oliveria is the champion we didn't know we needed
"mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-okay, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-okay" ~Lowko 2023
@12:21 watch the marauder attack cause that is amazing
10:44 friendly fire!
Seems that lowko needs to know that he can be casting drying fruits and ill be hearing him talk. The first 4 min of this vid was such a heartwarming story
beautifull game indeed . insane cast , insane plays . loved it .
shows why hes a deserving world champ. damn i think almost anyone would quit already if being at Oliveiras place in this match. so many things that would destroy a normal person, but not the best. he cleared that lurer drop like it was nothing. and then those constant zerg spellcasters omg, but even that didnt help dark.
It is not really hard to clear lurker drop with mass ghosts. Now if nydus appeared more to the north and survived, and other zerg units popped out of it...
@@ObeliskM lmao, ofc you would do it as good as him. the thing is to clear it in time without much damage, and dark did almot no damage in there. thats the point. u have only second or two for reaction and u gotta be prepared. he was.
@@GoreTheSummoner Ghost best unit in the game. Kill tier 3s with energy
18:15 GHOSTS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You do not become World Champion of anything, let alone SC2 due to luck alone. Time/Oliveira is not a fluke by any strech of the imagination.... He respects his opponents without fearing them and gives his best to each game. He is a champ in mentality and heart but he also has the skills. He might not be super good at something but he does not lack in anything...he should be given more credit imo, the guy won a world championship against a LOT of TOP notch players, not just Maru. And he proves so in this matchup against one of the best Zerk players ever, Dark.
amazing game by both
Great casting Lowko. That said i would have preferred you casting the whole series. I find an entire series much more interesting.
@7:40 oooow owch that's painful
I have to practice my job for twelve hours a day. Not everyday but it wears on your body after doing more than one in a row.
that resignation was bizarre.
It would be really nice to see Oliveira make some gains and up his 'rank' in the SC2 community coming out of a Championship. I think hes got it.
This was one of the best games at IEM 2023!
Ey. Hello there
@@jordani_war hey!
That corkscrew arrow might be your best yet!
He only won because blizzard refuses to address zerg’s lack of early game harass options.
24:58 dark goes to 201/200 supply whut a mad lad
I was so happy to see a Terran finally win SC2WC after 6 years of Zerg domination. Even better because it was two Terran that fought for the crown.
All I have is respect for Oliveira. That was absolutely top tier gameplay coming from a guy I hadnt even heard of a few months ago. He might be able to carve his name beside the greats at this rate
That's a Time. I was mind he's famous Chinese player
@@user-gs5zh4uz7z yeah time was never great as lowko said. probably the top chinese player but still like 3rd tier in the proscene ( like scarlett is top in north america but probably evewn lower down globally). Id argue maybe not as bad a ranking as lowko put it but 2.5 tier at least.
His improvement is still spectacular.
@@userasdf nope. You didn't know nothing about time. He was growing for years, just like serral before, and almost nobody can't see that.
Old but Gold trick
ghosts are so braindead, counters most of the zerg roster with rapid fire.
its TIME to play!
You know what I’ve found as a good strategy if you micro well and are Protoss (vs Terran or Zerg)? Having 6 high templars. You can always turn them into 3 archons after as necessary. So I am only in silver league, so I’m no expert obviously but I’ve had it work for me. If you use Psionic Storm with 3 and 3 simultaneously to a bottle necked group of Terran (organic) or Zerg you will massacre an entire army in seconds with the support of void rays (I know the stereotypical unit for Toss). I usually have 6-12 High Templar’s, 3 Warp Prisms, 6 sentries, a dozen void rays, 4 colossus and 6 Immortals. That’s not exact numbers but it’s close.
So I use the sentries to obviously create shields for my ground army, and I also take probes to with me to sneakily warp in pylons everywhere so I can build shield batteries to retreat to or have in proximity to my fighting. If I’m able to be extra sneaky I’ll build a nexus as close as possible to the main area with shield batteries surround it so I can battery overcharge plus have the other ones support. I don’t know like I said I’m not even gold, but it’s worked for me. I’m sure there are a million counters to my methods for people even in silver but more often than not that combination of things works well….once again primarily against organic Terran or Zerg. I just finished a game where they had 12 ultras, hydras, and corrupters/mutas….and I turned on prismatic alignment to hammer the ultras while storming them and the air units.
Let me know if you think it’s a stupid set up or your thoughts. I would probably get annihilated in gold league or higher every time but at the lower tiers I’ve had it be pretty effective. Obviously everything is maxed out with all upgrades and all abilities they have available. Oh ya I didn’t mention the warp prisms but I figured it was implied…I use them for warping in more high templars or massive zealots (I usually have 12 warp gates).
I'm d3 and think u better than me in strategy.
18:30 ghost moment
Oliveira with the big balls big brain plays during Katowice
"Mmm, OK" should be a Lowko drinking game.
Thanks for keeping spoilers out of the title of this video. Some other casters/vods out there did not -_-
Keep up the good work and casts bro!
Oliveria: "Look at me now!" 👏
the adept would like to have a word with you about being in two places at once
Awesome run from Oliveira
12:21 ...Can we just talk about this projectile movement for a moment? x)
I've had wrist issues too becoming a master at baiting.
I think it's incredible how Oliveira's Terran is so unique. Just from watching, I can tell who is playing. I love love love the Hellbat transition vs Zerglings once he gets +3 Vehicle weapons
I'm surprise Dark couldn't win, esp with the viper pulls. He was killing Oliveira units easily with the viper pulls.
Thumbnail at: 16:14
Lurker drop was too late. If it happened before Oliveira got mass ghosts, it would have wrecked him.
Oliveira was choking Dark all along though
Lowko you didn't see but Oliveira already won when his reaper kill one of the 6 first zergling of Dark !
3:13 I get what you mean with Olivera not being the favorite despite being champ.
It doesn’t feel like he’s bad by s as by means, but more like he played the best like 10 games of his life and obviously you shouldn’t expect that peak forever.
I’m happy to be proven wrong tho, let’s see if he can keep up the highest level play
Damn I saw the whole thing... Oliveira is playing possitional.chess here. I mean he looks like he went to the time chamber and trained a decade there and then return to beat the best in the world.
The fact that he beat Maru 3=0 can not be understated.
Or the reverse sweep against Reynor.
@@_fisheater1027 Nah, the fact that Reynor beat him twice wasn't impressive. If you want to show domination, they should not win a single game.
@@murrowboy Wasn't 4-1 the final score? But yeah momentum is a thing in Starcraft.
@ 15:33 i think that not that bad. He has a lot of minerals and he needs his overseers. So he is thinking about losing them in advance maybe? I agree with that he is a little bit off this game and maybe it's because of that. I seen dark build many overlords in another game when he build 3 or some then 2 sec later another 4 and then a few moments later another bunch. It's dark like lowko says so there is no way we know what he thinks hahah
Straight up i do not get why after 20 viper grabs, he doesnt make some actual air to air units. losing liberators and tanks for free to 4 vipers half the game.
I love how often you use the word obnoxious. I haven't heard that word more used in my life than in your videos, lol
Can the next patch make banelings morph while the zergling is burrowed?
lowko fan boyed hard.
Did you see the marauder firing animation at game time 12:12? New laws of physics, because, computer games.
feels so weird, Maru forgetting Tanks are good, Dark forcing so many Lurkers vs mass ghosts ...
there are 2 things i find strange in this game:
how did the dropperlords survive this entire game?!
and i didnt see Oliveira drop any mules really, just sporadic here & there.. pretty strange
Well he needs the energy to scan to know where the zerg army is. Lurker is no joke after all.
what is the actuel name of dimiaga ? or is he off ? sry bad englisch
I dont get it. People said he is new. He was Time but playing as Zerg. He is successful as Terran just now but not after his defeats as Time.
This is going to be fun!
Uhu! right in time for my lunch break!
It's refreshing to see a non zerg as world champion
You said Starcraft units can't be in two places at once. Counterpoint: the Adept
Unlimited scans and ghosts seems balanced
So Oliveira is Time nice
Olivera went to a new level at this tournament. I’m Lowko saying he is gonna stop fanboying in a couple of weeks. It most likely a lie. 😂😂😂😂
Happy for Oliveria sad for Maru ;-;
17:15 Adepts…
There was a Time Oliveria was Time and one would have to say Katowice came at the right Time for Oliveria.
Just as well he put so much Time into his training.
Wow, you really could do this all day... I mean, all the Time 😂
Just needed a bit of Time to get those last few out of my system, now that he's changed his name
Lowko MVP!
Hello Lowko!
Best game ever
whoa terran
Amazing game
at 24:22 Dark has 201/200 supply how is that possible?
morph a zerg building, replace the 1 supply then cancel the building. A usual strat in sc1 where u went 10 pool after an extractor cancel agianst Protoss when u went 5 hatch hydra to counter the Busi-build
0:44 hehe
It look more like Alphastar playing 😮
Feeling gew-ood
I think you should make more viewer submitted games, cus they are funny :) (I might only say that because I submitted my game too lol)
Blood lord! Dark where is Blood lord!
Time? never heard of him
I get we all love nukes, but it's getting a little old when all the SC2 commentators always show the nuke leaving the building.
But I love you Lowko haha
Is it me or end game option for ZvT, seems lacking. It’s like zerg doesn’t have decent option to break Terran. Each of Terran end game units counters multiple Zerg units hard!
No, it's just that Dark played this game incorrectly.
He had Infestors for Fungal Growth for the Ghosts, but no Zerglings to run forward and kill them.
He had Abductions for the Thors, Siege Tanks, and Liberators, but kept moving between bases instead of keeping the pressure up in one location when he cleared out the sieged units.
He never even tried to make Brood Lords, which would have been AMAZING in this game, despite having an absolutely MASSIVE bank at one point.
He let the Terran transition from Bio to late-game Mech with no harassment beyond a single attempt at a drop. He never even tried to send those Droplords home to pick up Zerglings for continued harassment.
He just kept banging his head against the Terran wall of sieged and static defenses, which isn't going to work against a player as good as Oliveira.
Ghosts need to lose snipe or emp. They can’t have both.
@@Josh-99 no, ghosts are broken and the pros are shills of blizzard who refuse to admit it.
@@Josh-99 I think you are forgetting how effective widowmibes are against lings and bangs, not to mention tank splash mills a bunch of lings and bangs before they even get close.
Ghost counters broodlords hard……
I restore gets killed by tanks or liberators or snipers before they get into casting range….
Terran mid to late game units are long range, splash and high damage. So Zerg losses a chunk of force before they get close to Terran units…..
@@shaunkiyabu2707 Just because you can't play the game properly doesn't make the pros "shills".
algorythm
When your sharing the map like that zerg needs swarm hosts or brood lords to wear down terran
