Really glad trap returned! It's a small pool of pro players and having one return is a win! Now just need serral to finish up his training so we can see more of him!
Heya, I just randomly stumbled upon your channel while looking for StarCraft matches that were being cast in English, and I gotta say, you are by far the best I've come across! Cheers for all the quality entertainment. Not a StarCraft 2 player myself, but as a Korean, I enjoy anything StarCraft related by default, and to have someone commenting over it in English, let alone with so much enthusiasm, really does it for me. subscribedddd
I don't even play SC2. I haven't touched the game in over 10 years, but Lowko, you are the best at what you do. Really fills that hole that Husky left when he quit casting. Also, watching these high-level games is so entertaining. Will always support your content
do you stick around plat with taking breaks? the reason i ask is because, i was top Diamond, took a solid few months break, came back and lost to a Gold 2. checked the profile and he/she was a legit gold 2. pretty humbling. i also hit 30 yrs old, so that could be what made me worse at videogames. got these old slow hands now.
@@matts3425 I’m usually at low diamond, but drop back down to Platinum when I return. Then I’ll go up to diamond and get bored of the game for a little. Endless cycle.
@@ThundercatLoft sorry mate. You’re asking the wrong person. Though I’d imagine not much, if any at all. I believe the tournaments are supported by the viewers.
Just got an idea for soft nerfing ghosts. What if sentry guardian shield interacted with emp? Idk if they should cancel eachother out (the bubble takes the hit for the army and disappears) or just reduce the impact under the bubble.
Such a phenomenal game by Trap, taking down Buyn, who you would consider taking down this match due to Trap's absence. I remember watching trap games a few years back thinking he's one of the best Protoss players, because me being a bit biased due being finnish, I remember Serral had hard time competing him at the time. I really enjoy Trap's courageous aggressiveness, it's the style I do think is what works better for the Protoss, even though the meta seems favouring more careful playstyle atm. Big applause for Trap's comeback, waiting to see what position he'll take in the future, looking good.
23:23 did anybody recognize that perfect break of @LowkoTV and suddenly that horn or trumpet starting again... that 1 or 2 second hesitation... beautiful, well done, Lowko
Trap back?!? And he is already this GOOD? BTW Lowko, I think you are right. Some people grow mentally from the military and/or from a break to see exactly what to do when they come back. (I was the same in FPS games, I was so good everyone would ban me for hacking.)
Spoiler: Agreed stargate openers are great in PVT. I hate robo opener, its easily countered. I wish toss would stasis ward on terrans 3rds /4ths. I love this opener, oracle, into charge! That's what it looks like when a toss player uses hotkeys. BW style. Ultimate control. Thanks trap for demonstrating!
7:27 anyone else notice those two red panda looking animals on those wrecked towers between the tank and the observers? kinda looks like Shifu from Kungfu Panda
Cant wait to see Rogue and Trap play against eachother in like 3 months. They both came back looking Impressive while still having rust.. Cant wait to see what they look like in their new prime
I actually have a good reason to why Terran is never really struggling and that's because it has the simplest game mechanics out of the three and relies the most on the players own mechanical skill, so yeah even if a terran is nerfed the best players can still get great value from the unit.
Well bcs it would be too op if sentry could recharge shields 😂 . I think they could add something like that on mother ship it would be cool and finally will someone play it (maybe) .
Because SC2 is not an all-races-are-the-same-with-different-skins game. Protoss have a mobile unit that can reinforce the army remotely. They also have shields that regenerate on their own. Terrans don't regenerate anything, and _require_ an auxiliary unit to heal. It's why the game is so difficult to balance correctly, but also why it's so much more interesting than games which have the same race copy/pasted, with just a couple units or structures that are different.
Byun must be one of the most overated Terrans currently by a mile. He has poor resutls in gsl hand haven't gotten a single first place since 2022. Meanwhile Clem has won 3 tournaments and Maru has won 7. Byun is not the best "Strategic player" he never plays for the late game and when he gets there he almost always loses because he has no strategy for it lol
I personally don't really put any credibility in Microsoft investing in StarCraft as an RTS sequel. Everyone who worked on SC2 and made it so technically polished left Blizzard. That's how frost giant exists in the first place. I would be thrilled to see more stuff made with the franchise, but I would rather it be a spin-off than a pile of crap dressed up as an RTS.
Hey Lowko, could you cast a bit more mirror matchup ? It feels like ages since you've casted a PvP ! Always love your vids otherwise, keep up the good daily content ❤
There is the point in making RTS not actuly better then SC. I mean yeah, all RTS rn will be compared to sc2, with it's lvl, but anyway if the game will differ it will take it's place. Like DoTA and LoL, like CoD and Battlefield. You got the point
Korean players doing their military service then coming back to SC2, implementing strategies they might've learned when serving those 2 years-ish... It's like they're training to become generals in the future using SC2 as their practice o7
Calling it that Protoss will do pretty well over the next year, Zerg will get some marginal buffs, then Serral returns to the game full time and cleans house.
I just started watching StarCraft 2 again (since December), after I stoped playing shortly after the heart of the swarm update. And I feel like this is such a great time to get into everything, with all these legendary players joining in one by one. And I get to enjoy multiple games of everyone❤ Btw love your commentary lokow, you always try and sprinkle in some knowledge wich should be common like timings for buildings and stuff. This is my everyday after work Programm
28:33 did I hear what I thought I heard?? XD
obviously he was going to say Ho Chi Minh City
Lowko is so wholesome, he literally swallowed that word half way out his mouth haha, fantastic save
@@OurMadUniverse The exact opposite of Artosis.
Love to see it! =D
Good news for Protoss fans with 1 of the all time Protoss greats returning to the game.
Really glad trap returned! It's a small pool of pro players and having one return is a win! Now just need serral to finish up his training so we can see more of him!
Serral did rent a office room near where he is stationed to play on the time he is free :D
@vatric7036 oh that's good! I know his service is to last approximately 6-12 months.
why is serral doin korean military service, isn't he from finland?
@@heru77777 he's doing mandatory service to Finland.
@@Zamiroh ah okey i thought he was in korea doin it im like wuut 😂

I like that you could see Trap shaking off the Rust as the games continued
8:33
I didn't know Lowko and Byun were like that 😏
Excuse me?!?!?!
TOO DEEP…..but NOT for Lowko 😂😂😂
@@DrMJJr Then how does Lowko know?
LOLLL.... so deep byun. ~ @LowkoTV
loll
Always was a fan of Traps approach to PvT. Crazy he's already playing so well. also loved that he continued to utilize Collosi past the mid-game

I can’t really blame the pro players for coming back to arguably the best video game. I myself often come back, and I’m only a platinum player 😂

Wow what a display of power from trap, beating THE byun within just 2 weeks of being back :0
Loved the game!!

Totally and absolutely planned. Surely.
The man, the legend!!! Trap em all, let's go 🎉

Seeing someone come back from a long break and still just play better.
Protoss getting a renaissance lately. Here's hoping it will be reflected in our win rates!
Relatively, yes. However I would like to see a little Terran buff to be honest. Then it would be marvellous game
@@patrikhala1910what in particular do you think needs buffing?
Lowko pivots to Walmart greeter:
"HELLO EVERYONE MY NAME IS LOWKO AND WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER DAY OF SHOPPING AT WALMARRRRT"
7:27 anyone else notice those two red panda looking animals on those wrecked towers between the tank and the observers? kinda looks like Shifu from Kungfu Panda
8:33 That's what she said
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Protoss have been doing well for themselves lately.
8:33 thats what she said !
28:44 should make this into a nightclub remix 😂😂😂
New challenge: Lowko joins the army.
Santa Byun cracked me up. What a mood.
Cant wait to see Rogue and Trap play against eachother in like 3 months. They both came back looking Impressive while still having rust.. Cant wait to see what they look like in their new prime

OMG TRAP IS BACK LETS GOOOOIO
Damn... Byun got Trapped 😮
As always, lovely casted a great game! ❤
great series!
Is it a rite of passage for returning players to beat ByuN? It's like an official announcement lol
lowko 31???? crazy, bro a OG fr
Trap showed such a high level of micro in this series, it is hard to believe he been away from the game more that 2 days
Huge fan of trap glad to see him back he is playing protoss like a zer in that final game lol the colossus flanks
Never understood why Terran have medivacs but Protoss doesn't have mobile shield battery units
The sentry was like that, but somehow someway they remove the shield recharge skill off it.
Because Terran is the developer's pet. As far as I remember, Sentry shields were only in the campaign
Well bcs it would be too op if sentry could recharge shields 😂 . I think they could add something like that on mother ship it would be cool and finally will someone play it (maybe) .
@@michalmarek8337 I just think it's like the trademark skill of the unit, and they have to remove it. Sad.

Is Special still playing StarCraft? Haven't seen him in a while.
OMG!!!! This game was frickin epic!!

he did not say it, but I think David Goggins is the most disciplined person in the world, or at least in the top 10.
this is a personal opinion.
Go Trap! That game is a good sign for Mr. Trap!
Of course we're not in a Terran map meta! Look at this map! It's pretty decent for Terran versus Protoss, about a 50/50!
Amazing plays by Trap!
What a match!
Zerg struggling because zerg keep getting nerfed because of Serral...
Glad you clarified that this was a (StarCraft 2) game
I personally don't really put any credibility in Microsoft investing in StarCraft as an RTS sequel. Everyone who worked on SC2 and made it so technically polished left Blizzard. That's how frost giant exists in the first place.
I would be thrilled to see more stuff made with the franchise, but I would rather it be a spin-off than a pile of crap dressed up as an RTS.
This is just like with Rogue: if Trap is this good in under a week, I can't wait to see him in a month
TRAP IS BACK! 🤩
Hey Lowko, could you cast a bit more mirror matchup ? It feels like ages since you've casted a PvP !
Always love your vids otherwise, keep up the good daily content ❤
That was some impressive micro and macro from Trap
What if collossi had starship armor instead of ground armor?
It's a trap !
Everyones coming back except PartinG :( Stormgate has stolen his pure soul
He sees the future
Lowko how do you say pick my most beautiful side in dutch?
No way you're 31. I swear I remember you saying you were 24 in your older videos. Has it been that long?....
i love when protoss wins
Anaheim! 😎

"Never terran". Original Starcraft say "hi", sweet summer child.
IT"S A TRAP!
Wow great game.great commentary. I just broke up with my girlfriend, so now that gives me time to get back into sc2! Here i come boys!
terran has ranged default, so of course they aren't going to be the strugglin one, it'd be way too noticeable
TRAP IS SO AWESO.E
Poor Byun....
8:33 That's what she said!
2 days no video?
gg colosus
all fun and games.. but havent seen serral in a long time :(
Spoiler Shield! Like this comment to ensure others aren’t spoiled by the top comment!
Not this again
Someone stop this guy, lowko usually spoils the games in the title/thumbnail anyway
The real vip!
League of Legends is hot garbage. It is inferior to DotA 2 and is absolutely blown out of the water by SC2.
Never heard of him.

There’s nothing wrong with playing StarCraft two until I die new game suck anyways
Trap is like Soo , but Soo goes further in tournaments while Trap just cant. , but hey his better than me.
Zest pls
Aaa iay iayyyy

Nerf Terran
Protoss needs to be nerfed a little bit. The sudden protoss dominance is absolutely artificial.

Toss lost
What if we got SC3 before gta6 boys
