This was so wholesome. Red got rushed and wasn't even mad about it, he just kept playing and doing his thing, even laughed with amusement when Blue stole his worker and built a command center. Then after somehow losing a game he never should have lost, Blue congratulates his opponent with a gg.
The sportsmanship on display here is nothing short of wondrous.
@@stofsk
gamesmanship not sportsmanship.
@@imnotyourfriendbuddy1883 esportsmanship
Yeah, I don't think this map had any Salt Mines.
The questions:
- the supply is max 200, no matter which race the units.
- only zerg structures can be placed on creep. Doesn't matter who owns the structures.
- Nukes are stored in the ghost academy. This means that if you lose an academy that if you have 2 academies and one of the made a nuke. If the one that made the nuke gets destroyed, the nuke does too.
- all mining units (SCV, probe, drone) can mine gas as long as there's a structure on top of it. Race of the structure doesn't matter, it just needs to be yours. Same goes for returning resources: any base as long as it's yours.
I don't know about StarCraft 2 but StarCraft , the supply for each race is divided by the their own kind.. because I tend to do this in sc1 I mind control the drone and scv and later make all 3 race together
@@senyapsilent6694 yeah, but in SC2 it got changed
Fun fact: the shape of the gas depends on the structure, you can see drones taking cubes if it is an assimilator
I really appreciate how Blizzard *could* have disabled workers' ability to build cross-race bases using Neural Parasite. But no, it's possible, just an absolute impractical pain in the ass to pull off. 👏
after having the option of building 600 supply army with Dark Archons and workers from each race in SC1, removing such feature would probably make many people sad
@@bb-im6hf Totally. i remember using dark archons to kidnap a SCV and eventually build up a Terran army of cloaked battlecruisers. My friend I was playing against almost crapped his pants, lol.
While I never played StarCraft growing up, I loved in Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne using the dark ranger's ultimate, charm. In large, easy AI matches I'd take enemy workers from each race and go full Sim City with every race at once.
It's a lot more practical against Protoss since you only need the probe for a few seconds.
@@bb-im6hf too bad sc2 make you share supply between all the races, so you are still capped at 200
That was very painful to watch, but also very funny as well.
It's so wholesome to see two people actually enjoying Starcraft.
Gotta love when the first Siege Tanks of the game were made by the Zerg player XD
Yesterday: Oh, a Lowko video called “The Zerg Mothership” seems fun! I’ll watch it!
Today: “The Zerg Command Center”!?!?! The timing is so perfect it is uncanny…
Next we'll see neural parasite used on enemy drones to spine crawler rush the zerg's own main
@@FireallyXTheories omfg yes!
this is the most beautiful game i ever see... it's heartwarming the way they PLAY for fun... absolutely beautiful
It's like that meme with walking straight and taking a rake to the face, versus doing super cool acrobatics with that rake and then taking it to the face at the very end.
Did you know, if you neural a drone, then start a building, then cancel it, you get the drone!
I mean fair, but that means your already playing as Zerg, you could just build a drone.
I didn't. But your Berzerker profile picture gives me the right type of nostalgia.
You want axe?
Ah yes the new way to take out the enemies full drone line.
But instead of building a hatchery you could build a spinecrawler and cancel it, wouldn¨t that work as well?
@@southpawdevelopment It's about sending the message
I think it's 8 neurals to build a cc. Neural lasts 10 seconds and cc build time is 71 seconds (+ distance/human delay on commanding)
PS you can't land on creep and share supply
Also, drones can mine from refineries and vice versa
Do you lose the nuke if the armory is destroyed?
@@benjammin9745 afaik if u lose the ghost academy u lose the nuke too. If the ghost started nuking something (aka red dot appeared) and lose the nuke silo after itll still go off. However, don't quote me on that because I didn't test it recently :D
My favorite detail: drones mining from refineries carry drums of gas. SCVs mining from extractors carry the balls.
@@DanStaal But what about Probes in all this?! We can't forget them!😆
@@benjammin9745 nope
I like to think the Marines were screaming “FOR AIUR!” While making the comeback.
As far as I’m aware we are now 1:1 in games where there has been a hybrid player
37:57 you can see an scv returning mineral to a hatchery!
i cant wait for the final installment, "the ZERG hatchery"
If I'm remembering right in SC1: Brood War if you took both races builders as Protoss with a Dark Archon, you get 3 full supply cap limits
Yeah..my fave ability then is mindcontrol
To my knowledge, Starcraft had 2 missions where you used two different races. The first was when you were directly attacking the Overmind in the last Protoss mission of the original campaign, and the second was when you needed to get one of the two crystals needed to activate the xel'naga temple
Probably one of the best if not the best viewer submitted games I have ever seen!
Awesome!
Love your stuff lowko!
Keep it up
I just checked it out, ur terran structures wont be allowed to land / build on ur own creep but refineries/extracters allow any type of worker, also ur hatchery/cc will accept resources from any type of worker
Any worker under the same player can mine any refinery type and return to the same player controlled hatchery/nexus/commander center. "I don't see race, I only see team color."
Back in Starcraft Broodwar you had separate supply for each race (so a protoss Dark Archon could mind control a terran or zerg worker and potentially get up to 400 supply), but in SC2 you share supply.
In both games, you can use workers of any race to mine from gas structures/ to return minerals to a CC/Nexus/Hatchery, as long as they are owned by the same player, and only zerg racial structures can be built on creep (in Broodwar, only the infested command center could be landed on creep).
34:04 If you build the refinery first nothing is stopping any worker unit from bringing gas back to the hatchery. But if you have creep on the geyser it will block you from building a refinery there.
"Zerg has another command center" is the best sentence I've ever heard.
Haven’t seen anyone mention this - “WhoIsV” could easily be a reference to V for Vendetta. V is the main… antagonist? who hides their identity behind the Anonymous Guy Fawkes mask.
16:18 "Assimilation successful"
Lowko: "The audacity..."
that marine split LMAO
i am a simple man. i see viewer submitted games, i click, i like.
Can you kidnap a probe? You take a dropperlord with a infestor, drop infestor, take probe, load it into dropperlord, bring it home. Kidnapped worker. Build nexus at home.
This isnt even very unrealistic to do this maneuver. Sounds pretty easy doable.
Snatching Defeat from the jaws of Victory, incredibly painful to watch as always.
Lowko: I need a beer and it’s only 11am
Me looking at clock which is also 11am: yeah let’s have a beer
9.25 didn't your mom told ur to not play with ur food
Me the one watching : adds pop out hungry? Eat snicker!
I think the read terran player has the ravens at minute 42 in game because he was afraid of lurkers
These are exactly the type of viewer games I love to see :D Great video
the scv at 37:56 mining with his drone friends while there is a terran army destroying all zerg buildings
Insert darkest dungeon quote. 😂 glad these guys had fun though
And this is why we love viewer games.. absolute banger :D
btw just to clear this up, if in a case like this Zerg parasites a worker of a different race, builds that race's base, then builds more workers and builds Refineries and/or Assimilators, all your workers (drones, probes, SCVs) can both gather gas at any of your extractors/assimilators/refineries as well as return resources to any of your bases (Nexus, CC, Hatchery), in fact they will in all respects behave like your own workers (which they are). You can even end up with a combo of all 3 races. The supply cap obviously stays at 200, since this is all your army now. The good thing is that SCVs can repair all your mechanical Protoss units and Medivacs can heal all bio units, including all Zergs, but overall this isn't particularly efficient and, most of all, if you are in the situation that you actually can pull that off, it should already be a gg anyway.
In Warcraft 3 the undead have the banshee and it can control a worker and build the builds of other races, but you don't get another food/supply bar, the other race units add to your current supply.
dont forget the neutral hero dark ranger with her charm ultimate. so technically every race can do this in wc3.
Omg, i love this and im so fascinated by the hybrid zergs with infestor plays , like maybe everyone will say that is not even viable in a rank game or stuff but its so amazing that its possible in the game to play zerg while also getting the tech of the other 2 enemy races for permanent time in you're favor lol
The video with zerg mothership viewer submited game was my fav and wached it 8 times
I thoroughly enjoyed that game and your commentary. Used to seeing aggressive fast paced games. This was funny and chill.
I half expected that lone corruptor to go caustic spray down a building all by itself.
I’m also surprised we didn’t see like mass hydra/medivac. That seems like it might actually be good.
Ah, "JustMonika" Flashbacks
These viewer games are so entertaining to watch pls do this more Lowko :>
You killed me at 26:09! Perfect impersonation.
Reminds me of justmonika
Watched that match literally yesterday! It was very fun
I really do enjoy these viewers submitted games, I had a blast this morning with coffee and breakfast :D
Really appreciate all the work you put in Lowko
Zerg players saw the "zerg mothership" video and wanted to do something just like that
So in SC and SC:BW you could mind control and build a hatchery and/or command center to build the other races with their own supply total. In WC3 the missions that gave you multiple races gave you control of an extra player. SC2 shares population.
Oh, I love this. It's like how in Broodwar you can build a Dark Archon and mind control an SCV or drone to create a combined Protoss-Terran or Protoss-Zerg army. Don't think I've ever seen that though. But this was cool for sure.
EDIT: No, you don't get 200 supply per race in SC2 but you do in SC1. So in other words, in SC2 the races share the 200 supply while in SC1 the races have 200 supply each. In fact, there is a multiplayer option in SC1 where you start with a worker from all races allowing you to create an up to 600 supply army. Sadly, this option doesn't exist in SC2.
Always love this kind of shenanigannery.
I've never been more furious watching a game of sc2.
In the original, Supply was only for Terrans. Protoss had psi and Zerg had control. All the same concept, all limited to 200, but mind control could allow you to get a 600/600 army.
This game had to be between like 2 brothers where the older brother cheesed the younger one, then felt bad and eventually let them win.
The Purity of Essence, the Purity of Form and the Purity of Cheese.
This reminds me of a game i had in starcraft broodwar where I got creamed but had a ton of cash left, flew away and built supply depots and engineering bays all over the map flying around and my opponent got so pissed that he couldn't find all my buildings that he ragequit. Think I ended with one Engineering bay and no units. Big game hunters, top right corner was unobservable by ground units, it was also my original base so the last place anyone would look.
11:39 Did that strat in team games in SCBW when I played Protoss, dark archon mind control a buddys SCV and Drone, build everything...took forever though. In Starcraft Broodwar each race had their own separate supply pool, unlike in SC2 where it's shared.
Starcraft 1 with dark templar, you could build multiple races of armies by taking a worker and it would get it's own supply amount.
The most painful Game you've ever casted... I cried as I Watched... LOL
I feel like these kinds of games, the players stage everything.
@2:43 made me laugh so hard, yet lowko got to the end and it was great all the time!
He should have used stolen Terran tech tree for units as support like the medivac and ghosts with the zerg army.
It would be so damn funny if in a Z v P pro game that the Zerg neurals a probe and makes their own nexus, then goes on to build a giant Zerg + Protoss army. There is honestly unlimited potential with an army like that too, considering troops are balanced to counter eachother means that having comps of two races could probably break the game.
this is why i always tell my scvs to not talk to strangers.
every single scv that comes out of command center.
About the mission you mention at 18:50, maybe you're talking about original SC1's final mission against The Overmind. You play with protoss and terran simultaneously.
Damn, now I wanna play it.
In Brood War, you can indeed have a 600 supply army if you can mind control a drone and an SCV in, say a 2v2 or a 3-player free-for-all. Definitely not a pro thing to do, but definitely a thing in LAN parties lol
nostalgic feelings of LAN games playing C&C back then, when none of us really knew whats going on 😅
Best game in on your channel so far XD
This was an awesome game.
It reminded me of Florencio's games
Yes. Drones can mine from refinery and can return cargo to command center. They also get a vespene canister from refinery instead of vespene lump they get from extractor or vespene block if they mine from assimilator. The vespene block looks cool with mecha Zerg skin. If scv or probe mine from extractor they also get vespene lump.
18:25 In Brood War, you get 200 supply for each race you control, so it's possible to have 600 supply if you have control over all three races. In StarCraft II, you only get 200 supply regardless of the number of races you control.
Mind control is also permanent which makes these shenanigans way easier to pull off.
Re: can drones return gas from a refinery to a CC etc, yes! I've tested this in ZvP against the AI
Basically, one has no plan ahead of his cheese, let his arrogance speak and dies afterwards speachless. Deception-game, I didn't know StarCraft was one xP
8:07 me(ICEcold) proudly laughing ))))
and yeah GR=Greece
love viewer submitted games
No no no!!! i cant watch it till the end.... that game hurts sooooo much.... 😂😂 omfg.... thank you for casting this one 😂😂
This is such an honorary brons league heros in my book good god
Loved the game I'm 66 years old and been playing Starcraft I since the game first came out. Just play for fun LOL
Wings of liberty. Literally wings.
33:55 I believe yes, enter the refinery at least
FINALLY another viewer submitted game!!
The wait is finally over!
What I need to see is an Infestor stealing a Drone for a new Hatchery
If you build something and cancel it, you keep the drone.
@@BaufenBeast I know, but does this mean that the original owner can just cancel the Hatchery?
@@gutfriedvonguttenberg5614 No, once the building is started it belongs to the drone's new owner, and the original drone is gone.
More of these please
Im disappointed that the Zerg player is not JustMonika
Love this play through 🤣🤣
This game is perfect true to lore gameplay of Zerg vs Terran :P
Sensational game.
you absolutely must make a series where all three races are controlled by one player. to answer exactly these questions
This reminds me of that JustMonika match where the zerg became the hybrid player
"Am I an English elitist now?" - well, not everyone can be adequately eloquent in sesquipedalian loquaciousness.
Don't play with your food, lol 😂
In Starcraft 1, when using a Dark Archon to mind control a worker, you get 200 supply for that race as well IIRC
It's not every day you see a zerg nuke his opponent 😮
Man my sanity is beeing lost while watching those games :D
Honestly one of the best match ups is TvTZ
is there a 1v1v1 mode in SC2? is there a possibility of TvPvZTP?
Liberators do in fact do air splash damage... so a few liberators vs someone that's not magic boxing mutalisks should annhilate them. Vikings won't work but people always seem to forget that Liberators have air splash.
I know in 4v4 games you can mine from other races/team players gas extractors if they have left the game. I also "steal" the Terran add-ons when they try to rush and fly the barracks away. I will build or fly my barracks onto the reactor add-on and claim it as my own!
I feel seriously disapointed that Zerg did not nuke Terran... ;(
Great game. Please make more of these always more views on these games. I literally check the playlist "StarCraft 2: Casts" and I will only watch the viewer games. these are way better than pro games
You can have 200 supply, 200 psi and 200 control. You call them all supply, but they are actually different things.
It is 7 if you are fairly effficient with neural parasite (61 seconds to build a CC).
