- Best-of-3 series of high level StarCraft 2 between Dark (Zerg) and MaxPax (Protoss). Both players decide to go for some very fun strategies in this game. Dark opens with a Proxy Hatchery and a Spine Crawler, and in the second game MaxPax strikes back with a cheeky Adept opener off of six Gateways

I just realised I accidentally messed up the scoreboard in this video. The one man production team strikes again!
No worries, we still love you
I demand to speak to the manager!
I kept rewinding like 50 times checking the scoreboard HAHA
I was thinking WHAT why did dark gg in game 1 :D
all goods it happens
Hey there Lowko! I got back into SC2 these past few months, and I'm so grateful you're helping keep the game alive. I'm not the player I once was (or so it feels), so returning to find someone who regularly produces excellent content for the game is huge. Bedankt~
Welcome back, I took a number of years off too and came back super rusty but now I'm better than I used to be. I was high gold protoss in WOL and switched to zerg in HOTS and now I'm plat zerg. I'm sure you've banged off a lot of that rust by now. GL HF.
@@hectatusbreakfastus6106 Thanks for saying so! I think you're right. I'm glad to hear you've made similar progress! Plat's a fun spot to be, I think. Further progress is within reach!
SMASHING that like button just for the thumbnail alone hahaha.
Also on that first map you can build a vespine gas building. Mine a gold mineral, go into the gas thing, then repeat and remove the minerals with 1 miner... Harstem did it on one of his videos and its brilliant. I have done it with terran and its legit. You should try it.
Ha, clever! Didn't think of that
@@LowkoTV well the smartest (and best looking) dutch sc2 youtuber came up with it 😉
@@TritonTv69420 So Thermy :P
@@MattDelaney O dang is uthermal also dutch? hahaah crazy. I wonder why there are so many dutch sc2 youtubers
It's all fun and games until the photon cannon sprouts legs
This is why i like watching pro players, even though Dark already contain Maxpax in his base, he still roam around with his zerglings to see whether there's something hidden outside and then he expands albeit too greedily
Lowko your upload schedule couldn't be more fitting, you always upload right as my break starts!! :D
I decided that my break starts as soon as i see that Lowko has uploaded lol
@@marklebury i will do the same
I don't know who to root for! Dark was my first favorite pro when I initially discovered Lowko so long ago (he will always hold a special place in my heart of the swarm), but you can't not love MaxPax as well. He's been a meta-defining rising star, and it's been incredible to see him take on the best of the best. They are both excellent strategical players. I love these sneaky boys ;_;
I like the fact Lowko decided to leave in the portion he'd normally cut out from the video.
@@Ghost-dx8mm Nah, hes approach is perfect. Cut if nothing happens in latter matches
@@Ghost-dx8mm He said on a stream he checks the comments to see if he'd left in something by accident. I decided to make him panic for my own amusement.
@@Blankstareman well, your the first one i've heard say that but the majority of us dont want anything cut....if he was to take a poll he would find that to be true.
@@bunnywarren thats pretty good lol
Brazilian here, nice Channel Lowko
That might have been the funniest player intro I've heard you make yet, Lowko. "I've casted a lot of Dark games - oh by the way this is Dark over here - and..."
Dark is so petty for saying "glgl" and then cheesing I love him
That proxy hatchery -while obviously an old strategy- reminds me of another cheeky thing:
A long time ago I devised a far more insidious Spine Crawler rush build that I've never seen anyone play aside from me. Although since I don't play anymore and hardly anyone saw me actually use it, it might be a "dead"/unknown strategy. Like most strategies, I think it might also be really weak vs strong players, hence another reason why it's not seen, but something that weaker/diamond-low-masters players like Florencio might use just because its wonky. However its advantage is that it cannot be _directly_ scouted- something that seems _extremely important_ in highish level games.
It consists of an all-in timing of getting some zerglings plus lair tech really quickly. This part is unfortunately kind of scoutable, and hence good players will react by just turtling up instead of expanding (although going for a natural hatch first can help reduce their suspicions, but greatly slowing the spine rush along with its viability). Once the lair is up, a waiting overlord will drop creep in front of their natural (generally in an area that will help protect the spines from much surface area), and you'll get 3-4 spines up super quickly, such that they either won't scout it at all, or won't be able to react particularly well even if they do scout it, since the spines build much quicker than a hatch, and lings can do a good job defending the spines from probes and a zealot. When they don't have a nexus building (or they cancel it), the spines can still be used to destroy their ramp wall and work like a protoss cannon rush (just without the wasted cannons, since the spines can move).
I think it can be a viable little trick for people diamond and lower to just make their opponent ragequit. When I tested it out that seemed to be what would happen, since nobody really expects it despite it being a functionally unoptimal strategy.
Got back into SC past month or two. Watch these uploads every day. The high level play along with your very entertaining and informative casting is the best. Was even thinking last night while falling asleep how impressive your casting is. Thank you for spending the time to make these videos! We enjoy them
A month ago? You lucky dog. You have literally a DECADE of insane matches and series worth of content to binge.
Hey Lowko ! Careful there's an error in the score board. The point of the second game goes to Maxpax and the one of the first game goes for Dark. It shows the exact opposit
"ooh it's Royal Blood, is Lowko gonna mention the-- yup, there we go, carpet rant time!"
right on time for my break!
Maxpax ousting Dark in a bo3, i love how far he has come
that first game cheese was actually pretty smart. force your opponent into a 1 base all in while you build the advantage. wont work every time but not a bad strat.
Zerg queen: We have a ** at home...
Love the casting! thanks for the video
this is one of the most crazy series ive ever seen! i love dark haha
Nice to see Maxpax bringing back some old-school strategies to smash a Zerg. Protoss is good at getting incremental advantages and keeping up the harassment, but you have to play with more APM that I'll ever be capable of!
DT's to Dark : "oh, you think darkness is your ally"
Maxpax’ control is just amazing. Great series.
Is it just me, or does Lowko have the wrong player credited with the wins for game one and two?
Its not just you.
Okay so protoss has a "nydus worm" (mothership) now zerg also has "canon rushes?" Things are getting out of hand
MaxPax won hell yeah
in that first game im shocked dark didnt creep tumor from the proxy towards his own base
that he stayed on lings but didnt do a ling flood after breaking the majority of maxpax's production
and that he went ravager instead of doing a fast transition to muta / lurker / host / brood / nyd
I love how Winter just made everyone call the first queen on the frontline Brenda.
Love this fast forwarding thing.
18:20 Octagon Lowko! u obviously don't watch MMA ~ 😂
Anyways, keep up the good work, we appreciate it!
For the record, I don't find early drone mining to be boring. I want the whole thing.
When I saw "Max Pax" and "Dark" together, I had to watch, no choice lol
I have been watching your videos for a long time. Tnx G
The hardest thing about these videos is that I dont wan't to know how many minutes are left when I start watching. Lowko, can you add 15-30 minutes of just black video at the end of your videos so that if I accidentally mouse over the video, I dont know "yeah it's about to end"?
I love your casting keep it up man!
Problem is the yt Algorithm penalising Videos that people do not watch till the end
Your casts are entertaining and great fun. Your accent is quite excellent. Seems like you've been working on it. 🙂
Can't fool me Lowko. I saw you had the score backwards throughout the whole 2nd game. ;P Great cast as always though.
I feel like Dark and Snow from SC1 would be the cheekiest players IRL
we need more maps than these, so much fun
Yo, that play by dark was sick!
Why the 2 first game did they win point when they loose but not at the last one... alala dont understand 🤣😂
nice one dark
I dont like too much SC2 yet i really like to watch your videos haha, i watched videos from another commentators but you are the best.
He avenged the honor of his Khalai Caste comrade. RIP Creator get pwnd Dark.
Four of these pokey boys poking at your natural.
Sees a best of 3 goes insane when I see it's only 27 mins long
What a game! Love the mixup. GG Well Casted (Still not thinking GGWC is a nice acronim xD)
They changed the rug because it really tied the map together!
Maxpax kicking Dark's ass. Love to see that
A day will come when Lowko looses it about the carpets for the last time and it will be a sad day.
Maybe I'm a cynic, but I felt like MaxPax lost that first game the moment the creep tumor finished. Wasn't going to be able to hold his natural against the spine crawlers, was inevitably gonna get supply blocked as his pylons fell, and lost most of his production with them. Suddenly Dark has his opponent contained with four spines, they *need* higher-tier units to break out, and even once they do they have to clear out the creep, while in the meantime Dark could easily macro up since he had two bases and could go for a third without fear. Yeah, MaxPax fought it out, but there was no way a comeback was happening.
Love you lowko
In Game 2, why did MaxPax push again after the glaive adepts forced overproduction of z units instead of just focus on eco? He had like 43 probes to 30 drones.
Lowko .. Did you say Zerg Flayer ? Or Zerg Player at 0:09
MAXPAX! Hell yeah
Great games
Wait so how do you win these 1v1? I'm new to starcraft 2 and it seems like the game only ends after a certain amount of enemies die or something.
The adept harass was pretty amazing game 2.
dark, king of cheese, thx lowco, you make it worth it :)
Nope. You mean Has
@@Gnefitisis actually, I prefer blyonfire
so.... after this Has will switch to zerg from protoss?
protoss is so weak that you can fart toothpicks in their direction and still kill them
First Time feels the need to change their name to Oliviera to avoid Lowkos constant bad puns... Soon MaxPax will feel pressured to do the same to stop being called Maxi-Pads ;p
At this point I assume you deliberately mix up the score board routinely to encourage engagement in the comment section ;)
Oh wow, MaxPax beat Dark.
when you scout Dark and he has nothing in his base or any expansions yet
oh boy here we go again.....
Damn very early, and the titel is promising
Why does it show 1 point in favour of Protoss in the second game, when Zerg actually won?
This is why i say protoss is the easiest to use and zerg is the hardest. And the top zergs make them look easy
Do you mean tower rush...?
In this patch it looks like you lose one battery and you lose the game. Defending becomes almost impossible and attacking the batteryless protoss becomes a joke.
the new carpets are lame af, what were they thinking? .... they could have literally just lowered the height of the original carpets to allow the widow mines to be visible...
Max Pax the Terminator😉😃🖐🇰🇿
Bruh why does a pro have to be so cheesy I recently only allowed myself to use zerg rush cannon rush as any faction is too far not fair.
Toss wins!
but thats my build)
Protos needs big buffs its the weakest race
dark could literally just have won the game if he didnt stopped.. wth XD
He was way, WAY too far behind. Those Zealots were about to smash his army and he had no good answers to Dark Templars since Maxpax was specifically hunting down Overseers. Also, the Adepts were continuing to harass his mineral lines.
The third game was lost. Maxpax is too good of a player to make a massive blunder. Those Stalkers and Zealots were going straight across the map after cleaning up the Roaches and Ravagers.
