I have been watching these zerg builds you do and they've really helped. I think my biggest issue is I'm not yet focused enough to efficiently spend. So i find that I am able to build anything I want by the end of the game, but I spent so much time initially building naturals that I haven't harassed enough and end up getting destroyed. Keep up the good work!
I may be coming to it pretty late, but I think this is one of the most important videos to watch for improving. Adjusting your mindset from “I’m going into this game trying to win” to “I’m going into this game trying to learn, and to practice one specific thing and it’s okay if I lose as long as I practice what I set out to practice” is a pretty damn important specification.
Just started playing zerg and your videos are extremely helpful, thank you for putting in an effort to make quality videos! Earned yourself a sub many times over.
Excellent! This is going to be super helpful for me, when I have time to play again. I really enjoy your style of making it easy to understand, but still not dumbing it down. Stay awesome :)
you can make drones constantly, just put overlords and some zerglings around his base to know when he's gonna push out. And then make army quickly, to do this you need to inject constantly, so that you have enough larva.
man this video has helped me come out with the strat that got me rid of all the aggressions i've been getting since i started the game. Workers for the win ! i just tried the strat this morning and damn it worked so fucking well against a terran player, he had a shit ton more combat units than i had but still he couldn't do any push !
I learnt so much from you that I switched from playing toss to zerg and since I used to main toss I tend to beat them alot since I know timings and what pissed them off
I feel the best thing to do is doing a fake out on a drop, since they can’t view how many or what kind of units you have in a medivac. So you use an empty medicac or two to get their attention and draw then out a direction. Once you draw their army or a good portion of it one direction, then you go in with your actual medivacs. From there you drop window mines at their bases to make the opponent worry/pull back again. From there once your opponent is back you should be able to send another wave their way…personally I’m a fan of fliers. Bring your fliers in and then go to town to do a squeeze on then between air and ground. This all sounds much easier than it is, but I’ve had matches go exactly like that because there are people that won’t notice the widow mine drop (to keep their attention on those instead of full focus on battle…so mistakes made). Doing this will take out their mineral line and means of replenishing units. And then in the meantime you can keep on queuing up your units to meet up at the battle point. I would say siege tanks, marauders, and ravens/banshees (kind of well rounded-ish)
Lowko you should mention, that you have to scout the protoss' 3rd base. If they dont have it by 5 mins you HAVE to make army, because they are going for a 2 base all in (or they are in silver league or below^^).
Hey Lowko. This kind of content is exactly what ive been looking for. would you be able to make some videos on specific terran/protoss builds (double drop or double gateway/adept pressure for example)and when you want to make safety units vs when to drone. i feel a small library of these would be infinitely useful to the community.
Place a few lings outside the base of your opponent so that you can see when they are moving out with an army, normally you can build an army that can counter your opponents by the time that they reach you allowing you to keep droning unitil they move out with an army
Lowko! you should make a video on when certain units/buildings would usually be made. For example, drops will be around 4:30 like you said If I remember correctly... or protoss make 4 gateways around the 5:30 min mark(guessing because I don't know) or Terran makes this unit/building around a certain time stuff like that so you want to send a scout to check at the exact time. I always feel that everyime I scout its either to late or too early.
this is whx you have to scout constantly! first scout when your ovi reaches enemy base, 2nd around 0400-0430 (i think? hh i just do it by 'feel' xD) and then every now and then ;) in korea they get speed upgrade for the ovis to scout without having to sacrifice them ;)
+Neil Thomsen building timings depends on the build and thats a huge fkin topic.. thats hard to cover, but you can scout 4mins into the game thats a pretty safe guesstimate for scouting all races against all races as far i know ^^
Lowko can you do a video on zerg all ins or cool zerg rushes. I find you usually do macro games which are cool, but it would also be nice to know a few builds that could help diversify my gameplay
The strat I use is called “Chipper” my friend is Terran and I’m Zerg. They make a normal army and I just get 35-40 banelings and just start bombing the attacks and bases and just making them too weak to fight my friend’s airial strike
Good example of a low level game. Most games like this where I mirror your efforts I am defending pretty micro intense harassment from the Protoss before a serious 2 base all in or late game wipeout.
It's hard to know, and scouting is a weak point for me, but I'm assuming its key. I get rushed or cheesed all the time and its the nature of the game. key things I watch out for early on is if they go early double gas, or fast expand or wall off or are building higher tec structures then I get some good clues.
Y'all do know that he said several times that he knows no timings or stuff like that for toss and terran? :D and why zerg tutorial? Well he mains zerg,he knows most of the things about it and most of the SC2 content is zerg since he started.
So basically only make army if I am preparing to attack, or defend an attack, but not until max saturation? (assuming I do make my safety roaches before max saturation)
Lowko, is it necessary to use a Drone/Probe to scout and lose the miningtime, or is it enough to use the first army units to scout to know what your opponent want to go for? I use normaly my first berserker (Old Starcraft) for scouting.
hey lowko, can you try the sc universe mod? please give us your insights about it. they had just released a trailer a few hours ago and im looking forward to it. thanks :)
yeah i know that but lowko doesnt switch randomly around he switches precisely to the bases to time the injects. I do that by having every queen on a different hotkey but he has all of them on the same so i wanna know how i can switch through every single one
He explained it in an old video, there is a key that allows to cycle though your hatcheries, backspace if I remember well (haven't played a lot for the past few weeks)
I started playing starcraft way overdoing workers lol. I consistently get destroyed 5 minutes into the game or sooner when i go to competitive because they clean up all 3 bases with low level units
The important thing is to scout the enemy! I can't stress this enough; it's what informs you about whether or not you need to build Army units and which ones. Drone, drone, drone, while scouting = economic advantage + knowing what you need to build to counter enemy comp. I think Lowko could have emphasized the importance of scouting more, especially when you are heavily drowning; but otherwise, great video and I love his content. Very informative!
he didn't cover the "scouting" topic on purpose, new players can't focus on map awarness, macroand micro at the same time, that would just disturb enough to not learn any aspect of the game. the right way(in his opinion) is to just start improving your macro plays like a bot, you will obvisouly start loosing 90% of your games against agressive players and instinctively start to feel the need of scouting, more than that, you will have enough automations which free your brain to think about other aspects than droning. sry for my bad english tho
I tried to do this today and got utter stomped within like 5 minutes several games in a row. No way I can compete with cheesy rushes by jsut building drones
I am trying to follow this and be very greedy with drone production. But, watching replays verus Protoss, I just watch them chrono boost out probes faster than I can spawn drones even when I am not building an army. And, then they send in a handful of adepts, and it's game over. I feel like I am missing either some secret here or some cosmic joke at my expense. But, when I am doing injects and spewing out drones and still falling behind on worker count AND have no army... it is disheartening.
I look at starcraft as a RTS and wonder how people can play this? I mean it literally looks like spam, without actual base building. Obviously I don't understand it because I don't play it so could someone explain to me why I should play starcraft in the first place?
+Space Portal117 i wouldn't recommend hydra vs terran. roach ravagers is a little more durable, and transition into ultra or broodlord in the late game
Lol, 8:58 where did you see protoss army?) There are only few adepts, sentries and 1 phoenix vs swarm of hydras with some ravagers and zerglings standing right at his "home".
Guesstimate is common colloquial, right up there with voluntold. The difference between an estimate and a guestimate is the expectation of accuracy. You estimate to get as close as possible to the right number. You guestimate when you need a number but don't have the slightest clue what the actual number is going to be. In SC2, guesstimation slowly becomes estimation by playing a ton and learning from your mistakes, just like Lowko recommends.
I have been watching these zerg builds you do and they've really helped. I think my biggest issue is I'm not yet focused enough to efficiently spend.

steel wins battles, gold wins wars
Steel beat drones tho X)
Compelled to battle!
Just started playing zerg and your videos are extremely helpful, thank you for putting in an effort to make quality videos! Earned yourself a sub many times over.
Congrats on 170 000 subs :)
lol
left foot reveal???
Oh hey thanks!
Yeah 170 000 subs man I think your the best Starcraft and Wow And HOTS youtuber conGRATS =)
LowkoTV 211.000 subs wow.Lowko whats the secret to your succes as a streamer.Whats your favorite race?
ahh finally the video i have needed for a long time and its on my birthday. great vid lowko keep up the good work.
This is one of the most useful videos out yet in my opinion thanks for that!
Excellent! This is going to be super helpful for me, when I have time to play again. I really enjoy your style of making it easy to understand, but still not dumbing it down. Stay awesome :)

I owe you for my platinum
Damn, I knew playing Club Penguin wouldn't improve my Star Craft skills.
Lowko, you plan playing more indie games on this channel?
This helped me quite a lot, got a few victories with this. Thanks! :)
GREAT info Lowko. has already started paying dividends. much respect & gratitude
Nice! This video really helped me understand scouting ha and the importance of less vs more units or over making units. Thanks dude!
Great insight on this gameplay aspect !
Thanks Lowko !

Great vid. More like this please. One on "map analysis" would be awesome.
Learning alot from these vids. And i have been playing since -98
Lowko you should mention, that you have to scout the protoss' 3rd base. If they dont have it by 5 mins you HAVE to make army, because they are going for a 2 base all in (or they are in silver league or below^^).
Thanks Lowko for the tips👍🏼👍🏼now I won 10 games in a row with Zerg👊🏼👍🏼
Lowko, your videos are the best man

great video as always lowko!
Nice advice! thanks dude you're the very best on this types of game analysis.
Place a few lings outside the base of your opponent so that you can see when they are moving out with an army, normally you can build an army that can counter your opponents by the time that they reach you allowing you to keep droning unitil they move out with an army

I always feel that everyime I scout its either to late or too early.
Lol, to be exact, Building timings for each race is prob the most simplest way to put it.
this is whx you have to scout constantly! first scout when your ovi reaches enemy base, 2nd around 0400-0430 (i think? hh i just do it by 'feel' xD) and then every now and then ;)

Thank you, Lowko:) A very good video.
Thanks a lot for this zerg tutorial lowko, these kinds of videos are always appreciated
I LOVE YOU LOWKO!!!
lowko! thanks for your videos!!
thank you so much:D
hey
do not forget to smile :D!
nice vid

CONGRATS u made it to 170k!!! Are you going to do Hearthstone videos or did you stop?
+georgiy kiselev I am planning on doing More because the game is solid fun.
The tavern brawl is super wacky this week
Thanks lowko :)
Have you seen stephano against puck at DreamHack Valencia? Just amazing dude!
Stephano's run in Shoutcraft Kings was insane.
gonjagoonss Didn't know about that, it was cool!
Magyar vagy ha jól sejtem? :D csak így név alapján
What?
Can you do this same tutorial for the other 2 races please?
the other races build army and workers at the same time :)
Awesome vid Thx!!!!
It's hard to know, and scouting is a weak point for me, but I'm assuming its key. I get rushed or cheesed all the time and its the nature of the game. key things I watch out for early on is if they go early double gas, or fast expand or wall off or are building higher tec structures then I get some good clues.
zerg tutorial? Why not doing a Terran tutorial! and a Protoss Tutorial tutorial! pls Lowko PLS!! :D
He is a zerg player so I think it's easier for him to make zerg toturials
+TrickyDrift He got to master league (i believe) on his random account so he should be capable o doing tutorials for other races
Wojtek Masternak That's true, I only said I think it is easier for him to make zerg. But he should be capable of making other tutorials as you said.
+TrickyDrift I agree, however I think most o the viewers would really appreciate that sort of content
Y'all do know that he said several times that he knows no timings or stuff like that for toss and terran? :D and why zerg tutorial? Well he mains zerg,he knows most of the things about it and most of the SC2 content is zerg since he started.
Heellllo everyone me name is Lowko!
I know what you will say before video starts and i love it ! xD
Hello everyone my name is Lowko and welcome to some more Starcraft 2 Legacy of the void.
Liked and Subbed!
+LowkoTV
1: will this be a new series?
2: if so will u only do this for Zerg? or will u also do it partially for Protoss and Terran?
Anything can be achieved through practice and study.
So basically only make army if I am preparing to attack, or defend an attack, but not until max saturation? (assuming I do make my safety roaches before max saturation)
Lowko, is it necessary to use a Drone/Probe to scout and lose the miningtime, or is it enough to use the first army units to scout to know what your opponent want to go for? I use normaly my first berserker (Old Starcraft) for scouting.
I just play really loud music which makes fine with losing
:D
Id love to see another ZvZ tutorial
The reason they have a troop limit is if they deleted it I would do it just like cut scenes and make like 10,00 zerglings and 250 ultralisks
hey lowko, can you try the sc universe mod? please give us your insights about it. they had just released a trailer a few hours ago and im looking forward to it. thanks :)
I am having a hard time to deal with losing drones. For every drone lost, it is one less larva to train army. 😨
Mass mutas is a good strategy or not?
For the Swarm!!!
I can't get past Training 3 as Zerg. I've tried about 7 times, Help!
can you play desert strike HotS in the arcade?
Hi, how do you set the hotkeys as
QWE
ASD
ZXC
??? I found it really convenient, please!
Go to hotkeys and select Grid layout
Dude you are a phanominal analyst
what would you have done if the prothoss was really greedy aswell when you didn't have a groundforce ?
If you see that the toss player is greedy you punish :) just make some lings and rally them to the 3rd or 4th and destroy it/get a cancel on it :)
+SkyKiller or be even greedyer😆
+big papa if you let toss be greedy he'll get a big army way too fast and just kill you,zerg can't stop a maxed out toss army without T3
analysed the same and lost sadly because of it before. there are a lot of good players in sc2 too
Immediately after watching this I completely crushed a Protoss player, my economy was so much better than his he couldn't keep up with my production
my biggest problem with zerg is, at the end of the game i always have like 6-7k min and 0 gas, no matter how the game goes, lose or win
PS i am diamond, but i got to diamond with protoss.
Lowko how do u switch to the different bases without having the queens or the bases on different hotkeys??
Space drops you to random places/bases/where you army is fightning or buildings under attack.
yeah i know that but lowko doesnt switch randomly around he switches precisely to the bases to time the injects. I do that by having every queen on a different hotkey but he has all of them on the same so i wanna know how i can switch through every single one
he is using location hotkeys (F1-Fx)
He explained it in an old video, there is a key that allows to cycle though your hatcheries, backspace if I remember well (haven't played a lot for the past few weeks)
+Won't Tellya I use the camera hotkeys, yes.
This explains why all of my ladder matches dont last longer than 12 mins
Is that really a 1v1 map?
make a video playing 2v2 to see how to manage with noob allies
I started playing starcraft way overdoing workers lol. I consistently get destroyed 5 minutes into the game or sooner when i go to competitive because they clean up all 3 bases with low level units
You should get army to defend. The third base is only when you make economic damage to your opponent.
Your answer seems incorrect as Lowko places his thrid base at 00:58 into the game
The important thing is to scout the enemy! I can't stress this enough; it's what informs you about whether or not you need to build Army units and which ones. Drone, drone, drone, while scouting = economic advantage + knowing what you need to build to counter enemy comp.

yes the new nova missions in a week.
I tried to do this today and got utter stomped within like 5 minutes several games in a row. No way I can compete with cheesy rushes by jsut building drones
I see no drone rushes
I am trying to follow this and be very greedy with drone production. But, watching replays verus Protoss, I just watch them chrono boost out probes faster than I can spawn drones even when I am not building an army. And, then they send in a handful of adepts, and it's game over.

why is there no cake?
I look at starcraft as a RTS and wonder how people can play this? I mean it literally looks like spam, without actual base building. Obviously I don't understand it because I don't play it so could someone explain to me why I should play starcraft in the first place?
Lowko,I don't think you made a protoss tutorial .
I only drone once for 2 base all in gg I'm too scared to play longer than that
can someone help me how to fight zvt from the zerg side? think silver 1
i always end up mass producing hydras with +1 weapons
+Space Portal117 i wouldn't recommend hydra vs terran. roach ravagers is a little more durable, and transition into ultra or broodlord in the late game
*****
Thanks for the advice! ill try it my next matchup
12th!
Why my zergling dosent have wing? Im just beginer guys :))
need help, plz with hotkey
Man is it even fun playing at this level? Seems stressful. I think I’d prefer a much slower paced game with a friend.
yo lowko , you playing on europe server or american?
I think he plays on eu
+TrickyDrift EU Server is the BEST! =^)
EU isn't the best but US is the worst.
Antoine Grenouilloux The same Point =D
Thanks for the vid...but uhhh..."winkyface"??? o_O
"Right?...Right?...Right?...Right?" =)
You didn't even destroy the other players base.... I mean he just gave up even though he still have an army?
Lol, 8:58 where did you see protoss army?) There are only few adepts, sentries and 1 phoenix vs swarm of hydras with some ravagers and zerglings standing right at his "home".
@@Vasyaliske I don't know, I don't play or understand starcraft just looks silly to me.
"guess-timate" it not a word...
Guesstimate is common colloquial, right up there with voluntold.
The difference between an estimate and a guestimate is the expectation of accuracy. You estimate to get as close as possible to the right number. You guestimate when you need a number but don't have the slightest clue what the actual number is going to be.
In SC2, guesstimation slowly becomes estimation by playing a ton and learning from your mistakes, just like Lowko recommends.
This answer is awesome, and you know what they say, you learn something new every day
aparently, almost game wants you to lost 50% of the matches...
HI EARLY PEOPLE
