I am Fenix, wrote a comment somewhere in the endless list of comments with a bit of context. Feel free to pin if you want. Thanks for the cast, was awesome.
Boran is not a liar. He is not a deceiver. If he is going to cheese his opponent, he doesn't want to shamefully hide his intentions, he will honourably put his structures right in his opponent's face. What an honest and honourable guy.
So, we had the famous 7 minute 0/0 Roach/Ravagar push get counteracted by the famous failed-planetary-into-proxy-mining rush. Because of course we did.
Man, that Protoss win in the second game was amazing. Seriously who else could even be called the winner, Protoss just looks better by not being anywhere near that train wreck. Speaking of which my spine can not be found anywhere near my twisted corpse. I cringed myself to death when my spine leapt out the top of my skull and ran for competence and freedom which mine eyes were not providing.
That second game was pure gold. When I saw the planetary at the main I thought that made no sense. Of course it then got dozens of kills. By the way, that "don't cringe" challenge is just not possible. Not with the first game and certainly not with that second game, I loved it!
Hey Lowko, 29:54 Yes I am Fenix, yes I am really smiling like crazy. It's so fun to see you cast a game of mine. Here is little bit of context: when it's late and I don't want to play competitively, I switch server and play like really bad for fun. It creates some funny situations sometimes like the one here where I got more than 100 kills on PF total. I did not expect the result of this game, the Zerg just gave up trying lol. Thanks for casting this was an awesome moment !
Fenix: I can still... how do you terrans say it? 'Throw down with the best of 'em'! [Actual match of 'Throwing down'] Fenix: How do I cannon rush? Raynor: You don't cannon rush as terrans, you proxy barracks or planetary rush. Fenix: How do you planetary rush? Raynor: [sigh] You build a proxy command centre near the enemy base. Fenix: It says I need an engineering bay. Okay, I'm building the planetary fortress. Raynor: Did you lift it off to place it in a blocking position where the planetary's cannons can harass the opponent? Fenix: ...how do you 'lift off'?
Game design concept: Void rays should have the ability to attack it's own structures and power them up if are outside the pylon area or chronobost them if they are already powered. The structure still takes damage from the voidray.
This is exactly how void rays used to be. Play the campaign and you’ll see. It was very popular for players to build pylons near the opponents base for the void rays to charge up on.
6:00 i think if that were to be a thing, it would have to be a temporary one-building power, since it shoots a beam already it could laser power it like a budget warp prism. it would only power one structure at a time, while rendering the void ray either useless until it stops, or make it like a flying photon cannon where it can protect itself but it has less damage and is more vulnerable. cool idea for me to overthink!
I did this yesterday (have had SC2 simce it came out) and unintentionally would have done Lowko proud. Both T v T and both ran circles around me while I tried to macro and panicked horribly.
OMG thank you soo mutch XD It was one of my worst matches ever, and one of my first matches as well! XD im relatively new here, but i really like this game!
3:30 Sorry Lowko I failed, as a protoss player, I would not attack the SCV just for the bunker construction although there's 2 marines attacking at you
Oh man i really made it to 33:50 without cringing but in the last minute Pinger got me good. Although it was more of a really wide grin :D these are brilliant
Best part of the second game is that Pinger KNEW FROM THE START that his opponent had a second base somewhere out on the map, since he knows he never killed it, and even scouted it at almost full health before he began throwing his armies into the main base meat grinder! But he just forgot about it!
Seen a lot of your bronze league hero vids. I’ll be honest it was ok, until the end. The hydra meat grinder got me. I blame you as the caster for my loss 😂
Okay, I made it to 3:47. Was fine with the strats up until the protoss player started up a stargate while a bunker was being placed in his main with 2 proxy rax production in his face. Definitely a unique decision to be made there.
I know Fenix, it's a friend frome the begenning of SC2. He played more on America server, his real level is around platinium-diamond. But, he likes make troll strategies. :3 GG my boy
I made it far. The battle cruiser sacrifice made me smirk, then the second sacrifice made me chuckle, but the THIRD? The THIRD b.c. to die in the exact same way made me cringe. GG.
Cringed in the first round at 3:09 with the poor (nonexistant) micro of the marines. Terran Pride in the second. Planetary Fortresses players are just so precious.
I think even swarm hosts would have won Pinger this game. He had his mind set on just a few units. He also had most of the map to himself if he wanted, because Fenix didn't even really have an army...just PFs with healing scvs. I did like how you pronouned Pinger as if it rhymed with ginger, rather than if it rhymed with finger, Lowko, haha.
Challenge lost at the Point where the Zealots and Marines fight near the half finished bunker Edit: why does Pinger hates his units so much, that was a high value Planatary Fortress in the main...
Pylons are Xelnaga crystals of all sizes, so i guess that one in void ray is not powerful enough to do warpins, but it just making laser from void ray being a lot stronger than just from electrical energy.
Shield batteries!? We didn't have shield batteries back in the Brood War and we fought back the Zerg and the Terrans just fine. You youngsters with your shield batteries and your warp gates.
The cringe actually started 1 second into the show when instead of opening with a “Helloooooo evvvverrrrry onnnne” we got an ad 😜 Also, wow that last game was SO painful to watch! I was yelling “Noooo” right along with you, slapping my forehead, shielding my eyes, and just generally trying to distract from or avoid the torment. Anyway, hilarious stuff. One of your best vids in months 😆😂🤣😭
God, I love viewer games. I sent my first one a coulle of days ago. He is right about the heart beat. My APM might of been in the double digits, but my heart was racing. Hand shaking and everything.
Game 1 made it all the way through without cringing. I’ve learned to disassociate my brain while watching any lowest level SC2 to prevent my stress response.

We definitely need more people like him :)
@@yomama8935 :)
Fights like a true warrior.
Okay, I survived the first game, but the second one got me. Those planetaries were worth every single mineral spent on them.
I played that 2nd game and yeah, that was sooooo funny lol. Never expected that they would get 100+ kills lol
The second game was just a campaign mission where you defend against the Zerg and Fenix beat it
So, we had the famous 7 minute 0/0 Roach/Ravagar push get counteracted by the famous failed-planetary-into-proxy-mining rush.
Because of course we did.
That little pylon on the void ray cannot power buildings. They are too small. However you can charge your phone on them.
23:20 In the meantime, in the bottom-left hand corner, playing with the red terran pieces, we have none other than Fenix
Oh man... I'm not even a Terran player primarily, but each battlecruiser that went down in game one was like a stab to the heart.
Ah yes, the grand “Send in another Gorgon!” strategy
Man, that Protoss win in the second game was amazing.
Seriously who else could even be called the winner, Protoss just looks better by not being anywhere near that train wreck.
Speaking of which my spine can not be found anywhere near my twisted corpse. I cringed myself to death when my spine leapt out the top of my skull and ran for competence and freedom which mine eyes were not providing.
I haven’t laughed like that in a while on the end of the Second game. 😂
I played it as Fenix. Yes that was crazy funny for me too, which is why I sent it to Lowko lol
Omg, I'm still laughing so hard and the video has been over for at least a minute....
@@stalwart56k I'm happy to have shared a very fun game and make people laught :P
That second game was pure gold. When I saw the planetary at the main I thought that made no sense. Of course it then got dozens of kills. By the way, that "don't cringe" challenge is just not possible. Not with the first game and certainly not with that second game, I loved it!
Boran and Pinger: did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?
Ah yes, my favourite kind of Lowko video!
oh my god i was laughing so hard at the end of that second game. He just kept walking his units through the meat grinder!
He was the WOL Zerg-AI.
That was funny to play. I was the terran and I laughted alot lol
1:15 Challenge failed. I started cringing when terran put down the first bunker
Hey Lowko, 29:54 Yes I am Fenix, yes I am really smiling like crazy. It's so fun to see you cast a game of mine.

Plays bad on purpose huh? 🤔 likely storey.
Thanks for the game! Fin to see PF plays lol
@@jjjarod1 Yeah, that's what happen when you just don't care and start doing absurd strategies for fun. xD
Fenix: I can still... how do you terrans say it? 'Throw down with the best of 'em'!
[Actual match of 'Throwing down']
Fenix: How do I cannon rush?
Raynor: You don't cannon rush as terrans, you proxy barracks or planetary rush.
Fenix: How do you planetary rush?
Raynor: [sigh] You build a proxy command centre near the enemy base.
Fenix: It says I need an engineering bay. Okay, I'm building the planetary fortress.
Raynor: Did you lift it off to place it in a blocking position where the planetary's cannons can harass the opponent?
Fenix: ...how do you 'lift off'?
not even mad that you have a sponsor just glad that the channel got big enough to get sponsored
Game design concept: Void rays should have the ability to attack it's own structures and power them up if are outside the pylon area or chronobost them if they are already powered.
The structure still takes damage from the voidray.
sort of like the tesla troopers in red alert 2 that can super power the coils for extra distance and damage
You know that was a thing removed right?
This is exactly how void rays used to be. Play the campaign and you’ll see. It was very popular for players to build pylons near the opponents base for the void rays to charge up on.
5:41 I think that we should let lowko decide how to balance sc2, he would probably do a better job than Microsoft :)
16:03 zerg supply depots really flying man XD
I held out a long time, I really tried, Lowko... But when the planetary got it's 72nd kill, I just couldn't prevent the cringe from ravaging my mind.
That second Terran game is the most turtle Terran shit I've ever seen, I'm almost in awe
This the kind of ally I get when I play 4v4
As a Terran player I lost it after the Terran in the first game lost his third BC to the exact same way he lost his first and second BCs
Lowko, i congratulate you for your first sponsor
6:00 i think if that were to be a thing, it would have to be a temporary one-building power, since it shoots a beam already it could laser power it like a budget warp prism. it would only power one structure at a time, while rendering the void ray either useless until it stops, or make it like a flying photon cannon where it can protect itself but it has less damage and is more vulnerable. cool idea for me to overthink!
the SCV to the Cleaning-Bot: Hey I got a job for you. Wanna become a Mule?
makes me want to play ranked just to send replays to lowko. I've never played ranked.
I did this yesterday (have had SC2 simce it came out) and unintentionally would have done Lowko proud.
Both T v T and both ran circles around me while I tried to macro and panicked horribly.
Love watching these heroes with 15 AMP and 185 heart rate. My eyes and my heart hurt on the second game no cap.🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Made it to 11:47 when I saw the Zealot just give up on chewing apart all of those undefended SCVs
genuinely loved the second game. absolutely unpredictable but very interesting
Fenix actually made a win condition out of playing tower defence like a campaign mission.
Yeah lol I killed armies after armies without ever attacking. I was Fenix.
@@ScBroodSc2 Hello there :P
@@MaitreEtherion Hello there :D
Pinger is definitly going on reddit/forum/whatever saying; "terran op"
Your casting is amazing xD That was hilarious, was sitting here laughing till my stomach hurt.
Honestly i did not expect a 4k bank zerg to tap out i lauged so hard and absolutely loved it
Look closely at 8:50 there are now two roombas. So you can imagine what the SCV did there :D
Could be misremembering, but I believe the Void Rays have that crystal like Warp Prisms because they used to be called Void Prisms in development/beta
Surprised Lowko didn't put together the "prism"atic alignment ability.
if you watch the OG unit intro video its actuall called Warp Ray
28:00
I've been shouting at this zerg player, this entire time, to build flying units LOL
Same. Like, 6 brood lords and Terran would be toast. They certainly had the bank for it.
don't forget sunshine and rain hahaha
Forget Lowko's pro league SC2 commentaries. This is where it's at!!!
That third jump into the Protoss base got me...
OMG thank you soo mutch XD
It was one of my worst matches ever, and one of my first matches as well! XD im relatively new here, but i really like this game!
Hahaha nice work! Thanks for sharing.
Seems like Fenix has a good understanding of what is enough to beat this particular oponent. Sun Tzu would be proud!
Did I ever tell you what the definition of insanity is?
3:30 Sorry Lowko I failed, as a protoss player, I would not attack the SCV just for the bunker construction although there's 2 marines attacking at you
Silver vs silver: already a waste of time. Lowko showing it and kinda making fun of it: NOT a waste of time anymore
Oh man i really made it to 33:50 without cringing but in the last minute Pinger got me good. Although it was more of a really wide grin :D these are brilliant
Trying to confuse the opponent by having a Protoss nickname but being Terran.....hey, a similar strategy worked for Reynor!
Best part of the second game is that Pinger KNEW FROM THE START that his opponent had a second base somewhere out on the map, since he knows he never killed it, and even scouted it at almost full health before he began throwing his armies into the main base meat grinder! But he just forgot about it!
I lost as soon as red put his first depot down haha
34:00 Let the voice of Lowko take you higher. Peak ASMR
HE GETS THE SPONSERSSSS WOOOO
This is gold, please make more of these videos!
28:08 Lowko is so cringed out he starts giving "advice" and I died of laughter hahaha
Lowko don´t blasphame, we all already looked voidrays for years!
This is too much to watch 😂😂 “fOrTy fouR kills FORty foUr!!” lmao
Seen a lot of your bronze league hero vids. I’ll be honest it was ok, until the end. The hydra meat grinder got me. I blame you as the caster for my loss 😂
Lowko describes a warpprism
While talking about a voidray skin😄
Okay, I made it to 3:47. Was fine with the strats up until the protoss player started up a stargate while a bunker was being placed in his main with 2 proxy rax production in his face. Definitely a unique decision to be made there.
AMAZING planetary fortress strategy from Fenix
I know Fenix, it's a friend frome the begenning of SC2. He played more on America server, his real level is around platinium-diamond. But, he likes make troll strategies. :3 GG my boy
I failed each time I saw no worker production at 0:01
R.I.P.
In that second game, I was thinking to myself " oh it would be funny if the terran ended up winning." it was a joke i didn't expect it to be real...
you learned to proxy barracks cheese , what did it cost?
ladder players: macro
I made it far. The battle cruiser sacrifice made me smirk, then the second sacrifice made me chuckle, but the THIRD? The THIRD b.c. to die in the exact same way made me cringe. GG.
I'm at 14:49 and haven't cringed. I just feel hollow and cold watching this
6:00
Congrats on showing me this game lowko, I want to die now. Thanks.
Fenix: "It just works."
I think the void ray has a void pylon on the nose to channel void energy... void
Amazing zerg unit cost so little… even though zerg keep throwing unit he still has 4x more mineral
I love how Pinger didnt even think of using mutalisks xD and keeps on using ground army
11.21...
The battle cruiser 'tactical' jump an vs subsequent death got me
Cringed in the first round at 3:09 with the poor (nonexistant) micro of the marines. Terran Pride in the second. Planetary Fortresses players are just so precious.
With the voidray you can warp in units in the air. It makes so much sense!
Lowko : cheering for himself doing the math for 2 BCs right - but forgetting completely about the costs of the 2nd Starport. LOL @10:30
Imagine void ray proxies with them powering their own shield batteries..
if only all those hydras became lurker...if only that !!!
Terran timed drop with few marauders leave just before hydras pops out
I made it to game 2 when the roach revenger clumped up to the planetary n tank. Then I cringed very hard
I think even swarm hosts would have won Pinger this game. He had his mind set on just a few units. He also had most of the map to himself if he wanted, because Fenix didn't even really have an army...just PFs with healing scvs. I did like how you pronouned Pinger as if it rhymed with ginger, rather than if it rhymed with finger, Lowko, haha.
My hand was on my forehead for most od the second game. That hurt. I loved it.
an ad? thats so cool seeing how you have grown :)
Challenge lost at the Point where the Zealots and Marines fight near the half finished bunker
Edit: why does Pinger hates his units so much, that was a high value Planatary Fortress in the main...
Pylons are Xelnaga crystals of all sizes, so i guess that one in void ray is not powerful enough to do warpins, but it just making laser from void ray being a lot stronger than just from electrical energy.
Hey, Lowko has a sponsor!
Did Pinger try to use the viper as an attack unit against that first medivac? does he know what the units do, or was this one of his first ever games?
Fenix is actually my nickname, but I play protoss and haven't played in awhile, and haven't sent in a replay, so I was very sad.
I lost the try not to cringe at 47 seconds
Shield batteries!? We didn't have shield batteries back in the Brood War and we fought back the Zerg and the Terrans just fine. You youngsters with your shield batteries and your warp gates.
Felix with the 200IQ defense
I was doing pretty well on the challenge until boran queued two battlecruisers... D:
dam, that was playing dirty: straight from challenging people not to cringe _right_ into the youtube-required like and subscribe spiel.
That planetary is painful....
The cringe actually started 1 second into the show when instead of opening with a “Helloooooo evvvverrrrry onnnne” we got an ad 😜
Also, wow that last game was SO painful to watch! I was yelling “Noooo” right along with you, slapping my forehead, shielding my eyes, and just generally trying to distract from or avoid the torment.

Did laugh though at orbital optional…
The protoss race should just be called Skytoss
Watching these games reminds me that the ladder is a big place with a very very wide variety of skill lol
did Lowko just told people the way to make friends with horses is to stay bihind them.... diabolical
