I've already learned something cool early on in the vid. At 5:10, Solar pulls his drones back to his natural knowing that he's going to lose his third. Because of that, he was still in an economic lead even after he lost his third base. Pretty cool decision making there.
Looking forward to this weeks game of the year! For real though, I feel like the frequency of absolutely stellar games went up even further lately, and its not stopping
Lowko your replays are always top Notch but lately you gave us some gems... So excited to see this one. Also thanks for you stray gameplay. It was very fun and it kept me company during my bronchitis sick leave
34:23 - can anyone tell me how it is that on the Data-C map, which is supposed to be underwater, everything goes up after death, but the blood from Overlord falls down? 🤔
Btw, good work on the casting and observing. You're really good at hyping up an already exciting engagement... all while you're on a time crunch! I'd fall apart if I knew I had to do anything within an hour.
I was thinking the same thing. I don't thing the lurkers were burrowed, in the mini map they are moving while being attacked it appears. It's hard to tell, he may have been microing them, but losing those lurkers was the thing that lost the game. I think Dark just got him off kilter with all the run byes. Another thing - Lowko missed Dark running two lurkers right into Solar's mineral lines at the mid and right base right before that. It was a perfect storm of an attack, and it got Solar to lose a game I think he had in hand. Amazing win from Dark winning while behind basically all game.
That was fun, i'm surprised dark is getting outplayed soo much, I know you mentioned him looking a bit worse recently, not to take away anything from solar.... Expected this to go another way.
24:33 Top Level Starcraft is mimicking my love life, because I too am scratching my head, wondering where it went wrong..... (this isn't true but it was too good not to say). Solar from Game 1: I see you, I feel you, I am you, (except when it comes to Top Level Starcraft ;) ^_^
I use to play free flow in brood war. Once you get good enough. Your macro gets into a perfect flow. I remember I could start a zergling rush & continue the entire game constantly harassing & attacking the enemy until eventually I'm practically Sauron zerg if it gets to that level. Once you know the rules you learn how to expertly break them.
Ear surgeries struck home. And gave me flashbacks. Ot sure what they did to your ears, but they sliced my eardrum open and stuck in a tube. For roughly a year I had a tube in each ear and it was godawful. I am back to getting ear infections on a regular basis and my hearing is shit. But still better than those tubes.
Aw man, can't believe Zerg won this one.
I know right zerg can’t win shit you ether play skytoss or just lose
Spoilers xD
@@randomshouse266 zerg vs zerg. obviously zerg will win.
@@joshuafarrell879 was obviously being sarcastic my friend.
dont spoil man
22:20 Where you said he commits Sudoku had me dying a bit. Lovely cast as always!
Don't click that link please.
Cant wait for next best of the year
Couple days probably
@@LowkoTV tomorrow at the latest
Hot dang, that was no cap maybe the best Zerg vs. Zerg series I've ever seen.
Really entertaining. Was cheering for both players.

It's surprisingly hard to remember doing stuff like this when you're being attacked
Serral do the same but on top of it, he's macroing a new hatch at the opposite side xD
Looking forward to this weeks game of the year! For real though, I feel like the frequency of absolutely stellar games went up even further lately, and its not stopping
39:32 that "YAAAAS QUEEN" caught me off guard LOL
What an insane series! Best of 5 of the year for sure!This was amazing, and your casting makes it even better! Thanks Lowko!!
This series was AMAZING! Definitely one of my favorite ZvZ’s. Thanks for the cast.
Commit sudoku.😂😂😂 What a banger of a series!
Lowko your replays are always top Notch but lately you gave us some gems... So excited to see this one. Also thanks for you stray gameplay. It was very fun and it kept me company during my bronchitis sick leave
Hope you’re feeling better soon!
That was amazing to watch. Also, there's something satisfying about the way LowKo says "data C"
This series was absolutely nuts.
Insane games! Always love seeing ultras and their danger hugs come out in pro games.
22:20 approx:
"He decides to commit suduko"
**Lowko, observing a suicide, 2022**
Oh man, this was a sick series! Can't remember last time I was this entertained by a ZvZ. Great cast as always lowko
34:23 - can anyone tell me how it is that on the Data-C map, which is supposed to be underwater, everything goes up after death, but the blood from Overlord falls down? 🤔
that first hell-fail of a split against the para bomb from solar war soooooo brutal to watch :/
Awesome series and awesome casting
22:28 commit sudoku in the hatcherie? XD!!! - I'm sure you wanted to say hara-kiri xD
Incredible. The high level mirror match is always intense but I can't think of a better ZvZ. Thanks Lowko.
I love games where they tech up but then beat eachother down so hard they have to tech back down.
Best series ever!!!
i liked the "he commits sudoku on his own hatchery" @ 22.20 xD
You mention the upgrades for lurkers increase range and burrow speed, but it also increases movement speed in general.
This is why Dark is my fav zerg pro player, The Primal Zerg. Unorthodox strategy, wild and unpredictable. Instinct over Thinking
Yet lost to solar
I loved to see ultras going "ORA ORA ORA ORA!!". Sick match! Thanks for the video!
Btw, good work on the casting and observing. You're really good at hyping up an already exciting engagement... all while you're on a time crunch! I'd fall apart if I knew I had to do anything within an hour.
Commit Sudoku. The ancient Japanese act of sudoku.
Well, I'm glad I paused yesterday night and continued today cause this is a fantastic series. Great strategies.
I don't really like mirror matches, but man this thing is on another level. As always your casts are the greatest Lowko :D
52:04 the upgrade for melee
Next title idea for when solar and dark face off again: The Battle of Light & Shadow
I can't really explain this, but the ultra vs ultra game feels like a Dr Seuss book.
The greedy becomes the what? Epic series epicly casted!
Solar commited the ritual sudoku
22:20 Yeah I also commit Sudoku every once in a while as well. Gotta keep the numbers in place you know
This was a fantastic game! Thanks Lowko
22:20 Commits "SUDOKU" (Seppuku)!!! 😂😂😂😂
Had to rewind and figure out how Solar lost 22:45 minimap shows the critical moment where Solar's 8 lurkers got overwhelmed and killed.
I was thinking the same thing. I don't thing the lurkers were burrowed, in the mini map they are moving while being attacked it appears. It's hard to tell, he may have been microing them, but losing those lurkers was the thing that lost the game. I think Dark just got him off kilter with all the run byes.

Holy… 1 hour vid??? Hold on, I need more popcorn & tea
Ultralisk on ultralisk action. Puts tears to my eyes.
we need a comprehensive "lowko's 'of the year'" of the year!
22:21 --> Commits SUDOKU on his own hatchery. =D
(Seppuku was the word he was looking for i guess)
That was fun, i'm surprised dark is getting outplayed soo much, I know you mentioned him looking a bit worse recently, not to take away anything from solar.... Expected this to go another way.
24:33 Top Level Starcraft is mimicking my love life, because I too am scratching my head, wondering where it went wrong..... (this isn't true but it was too good not to say). Solar from Game 1: I see you, I feel you, I am you, (except when it comes to Top Level Starcraft ;) ^_^
"Commits Sudoku on his own hatchery" - Lowko (@22:20)
:3
What a reverse sweep! That last game was massive from Solar
Mirror Match, Best of 5, and Lowko casting. EZ best watch and like
Hour long lowko casts are top tier cozy
Around 22min30
"He commit Sudoku on is hatchery"
🤣
My favourite thing to watch over dinner. Thank you ahh
Woah it's time for another amazing best game of the year
I didnt even know you could burrow ultras!
"commit sudoku on his own hatchery" 😆
Hey Lowko! Congratulation with 500k!
Loko 22:20 maybe the word that you were looking for is sepuku
Love watching your casts
ZvZ can't get much more interesting than this!
I love your content lowko
Thanks for watching!
Commit sudoku. Love it 🤣
It'd be cool if you actually did try a challenge cast using only the production and unit tabs.
22:20 commits sudoku 😂
Sheesh, this is definitely the best ZvZ series of the year, but any one of the games could be candidates for ZvZ game of the year.
Favorite part of the cast, "Brenda, Yasss Queen"
Inside and Out is my favorite map of all time, aesthetically. What are ya’lls picks?
oh lol. I forgot there was a giveaway. Forward to the next person please! I don’t need it
I use to play free flow in brood war. Once you get good enough. Your macro gets into a perfect flow.

Great, that was a nice ZvZ!
22:20 that was a funny mistake. He said ‘commit sudoku’ when I think he Lowko meant to say ‘sepuku’. Death by number game haha
55:17 magical moment.
Is Lowko Tv start rick rolling? "You know the rules and so do I " Lowko you legend I love your sc2 content
Solar's engagement positioning in those 1st two games had me scratching my head.
*sees the duration of the cast*
oh boy, this'll be good
22:18 "Commits Sudoku" (when in need, do maths!)
what a good zerg vs zerg!!
Oh wow, another game of the year.
Hats off to you sir.
Best ZvZ of the MILLENIUM no doubt
Lowko you’re the 🐐
Bro I can’t believe that the Protoss won this match.
"commits sudoku"
Commits sudokku on his own hatchery :D lol
did they rework banelings?
40:02 alrigh bois! to the party and grab ur dance partner ~
Another interesting Zork vs Zurich game, according to Google.
Dark and Solar, is this a Black Sun reference?
Commit sudoku? Is het niet Seppuku of Harakiri?
Mooie cast weer :)
Wat bedoel je met message up? Ik mis het even. Als oude gamer ben ik bij dat ik nog naar casts kijk
2nd game - what use is having the evo done 25s faster when you eventually start the same upgrade 10s later lol
RIP Rogue got caught in the FOMO trap that is maplestory.
“Commits sudoku on his own base”
Agreed, maybe the best ZvZ of the decade!
"commits sudoku on his own hatch" Lowko do you know what you just said
Indeed what a banger of a game
Solar saw the boys a GG'd lol
Great game!
Mad game! 👍
Can't believe I play the same race as these two seariously
Fansastic series. Wow.
So did Lowko go running yesterday?
@LowkoTV I think you've got an impersonator.
Ear surgeries struck home. And gave me flashbacks. Ot sure what they did to your ears, but they sliced my eardrum open and stuck in a tube.
For roughly a year I had a tube in each ear and it was godawful. I am back to getting ear infections on a regular basis and my hearing is shit. But still better than those tubes.
WTF? There's no explanation in the video or in the description what this is from. Or when this was played. Or any actual info about what this is from.
