@@batmanonholiday4477 voidrays can win against bcs even in a 1v1 combat or mass bc v mass void rays. tempest have great dmg against bcs but in a close range battle or in a 1v1 tempest would lose against battlecruisers especially if the battlecruiser have yamato cannon upgrade. so mass tempest and voidrays is pretty good.
@@fg2002id Battle cruisers beat void rays in 1v1. And get trade very well with yamato. But for the most part you wanna use bikinis against voids because they counter them.
@@shadowwarrior1003 bro i said its ALMOST never used. And this is how this game works even though a strat might not be optimal when it comes to raw numbers it can still work if the oponent doesnt expect it or is forced to play a game wich he is not used to play. Think about hatch blocks in pvz, cannon rushes or proxy rax openers.
That ending! "My lord we have engaged the fleet and destroyed it, but most of our forces have been decimated" "ALERT ALERT A slip spacetime rupture event detected" "Sir, are you seeing what i'm seeing?"
If harstem balled up his tempests and recalled to the base to the north, he might've had a great opportunity to escape then destroy those BCs! I remember seeing similar plays in the past, some involving the mothership warp too. Awesome game + commentary.
Starting the video (Me a protoss player): Quick look at the end reveals Terran wins: OMG Another Protoss loss !! :( Seeing the absolutely incredible BC warp-ins at the end: You know what ? I am NOT EVEN MAD !!! That was amazing.... The man called in the Fleet, what can you do ?
Thanks for this vid lowko. Makes my day complete once again. Your reaction on the clash this time around is gold, to the point you need to edit the last seconds of the clip. Me can't stop kek-ing atm.
Polt has got to be my favorite terran in all of SC2. His win in WCS Premier League season 1 is what got me into Starcraft, after all! It's very good to see that he is still playing SC2, I haven't heard a lot about him for quite some time and thought that he retired.
When you mentioned BC range vs Tempest w/ Revelation range I was thinking what would happen if the BCs just jumped on the Skytoss ball. Well... we found out lol
Really good game. He had the right idea doing the runbys with the bcs in the top left hand corner of the map and using Yamato volleys on the oracles. Could have used barracks, a hold fire cloaked ghost or banshee to scout for the bcs to use the Yamato gun. Really needs to be more upgrades available for battlecruiser for the late game maybe one to increase Yamato damage, one afterburner for a speed boost, enhanced warp drive etc.
You could see that flank coming a mile away. I was just sitting there thinking.... but can't he just blink on the other side of them with the..... 8 BC's show up instantly lol. POLT!
It was great to see probe killed count offscreen with bc (since he splitted his BC to harass both army and economy ) while you showed a bc skirmish against protoss army! BC games are always so great to see😊 (I tought at a moment he was going to get rid of his infantry and go full bc🤔😅)
Yeah BCs have 3 armor and Phoenixes do 5+5. They do a whopping 4 damage per attack until they're upgraded; if you have the ability to overwhelm battlecruisers with equally upgraded phoenixes, you should have won long ago by making literally anything else.
The whole time the tempests and bcs were clashing, I was just going 'tactical jump right behind the tempests, then they lose the range advantage.' and then he actually did it. In the words of some random Battlecruiser commander, 'who called in the fleet?'
I've had Sc2 for years but never really played it all that much because I'm always watching awesome matches like this xD ps I'm only 27percent through the Terran campaign.
@@batmanonholiday4477 The in-game help menu points out fair responses for BCs: vikings, corruptors, void rays. Additonally, every race has good anti-air structures and that helps a lot.
@@batmanonholiday4477 go get voidrays with tempest against bcs its pretty good. if they are trying to use yamato cannons recall the tempest and void rays.
Hey Lowko! There's a mod that I think you should check out. It lets you play using Co-op commanders in a melee game. I tried playing a game as Dehaka verses someone playing Zeratul and I got wrecked very quickly.
Succeeding the protoss marauder(immortal), and the terran viper (raven), we now have a terran colossus (battlecruiser)
I would say protoss thor is immortal, both are slowly walking and strong machines, marauder is more closer to stalker they are heavy infantry
Skorpion1991 r/whoooosh
@@Skorpion1991 That's how Lowko called them in previous videos, not because of similarities
@@XiThePoopBear why? he's not ruining the joke... he's only giving an opinion
EVRNineGLX whoooosh means he missed the joke
"My army's hurt, but so is his, I can recover from this"
>6 more battlecruisers warp in
>instantly hit end game
That moment was so hype.
I loved it.
😂😂
Imagine having a cinematic like that.
3,300 additional hitpoints warp in. Talk about a downer. :(
"Who called in the fleet" that moment at the end when first group of BC's is destroyed just to have 9 more jump across the map
I literally cheered and clapped.
Polt will send wave after wave of battlecruisers until he wins.
Reinforce the fleet!
@@DrBonely Same here!
"Reinforcements are en route. Hold that position!"
24:38 smooth edit brother, real smooth
Yikes. Caught me! #professionalyoutuber
@@LowkoTV Send link for the re-upload! I refuse to watch this disgrace even though I already watched it and liked it
:P
That tactical jump at the end was epic!
"Who called in the fleet?"
Totally agree!
the old Polt saying,
If at first you don't succeed with 9 battlecruisers, immediately jump in 9 more.
I love how the moment he saw another 9 battlecruiser jump on him he insta alt f4
Quit literally the instant that second squad of BC's warped in
i would have too
So happy to see Polt on the scene again. Feels like it's 6 or 7 years ago or something! He's still a beast!
I can hear Harstem now. "This is not going that well. Actually maybe we're ahead. Maybe not."
His big siiiiiighhhhhh when he discovers he was actually behind.
Imagine barely killing 8 BC only to see 5 more BSs warping in moments later
Big oof!
I laughed so hard
It was Like a carbot episode
so basically there is really no counter for mass bcs?
Big oofs liquid Richard

*Phoenixes fly around the map doing pew pews against the BCs*
Battlecruiser: That tickles
Forget Captain America, Polt is now ADMIRAL America!
I still can't figure out why a South Korean who learned English in America has such a strong Russian accent.
@@Brooke-rw8rc Maybe he is a sleeper agent from Hydra?
Polt had some balls sending those BS at the end
What balls? Ever since the changes to Tempest, they just can't seem to beat Battlecruisers. It's honestly a safe bet going BCs against Protoss.
I'm not sue if "BS" is a typo or not. Funny either way.
@@topanteon lmao no he only could do it since he held back ps econ and supply for a long time. Almost noone goes mass bcs at top lvl

I really liked the intro to this vid. Just straight to the match, and no boring intro. It really helps to set the pace of the video.
Oh man that GG out from Harstem upon seeing the rest of BCs jumping in - pure gold
That was such an amazing close by Polt. I'm instantly a fan. I hope to see more matches like this.
Thank YOU for sharing the Polt story. The kids need to know!

Zap brannigan tactics,

You are all gangsta and shit with those tempests, until battlecruiser captain gives order for agressive tactical jump.
I am so glad I found your channel , I have been out of the mix since HD and Husky stopped casting. Netherlands ftw.
Great use of battle cruisers love to see them used to their full potential
24:04: Me: Welp, RIP BCs. GG Polt, congrats on the win.
*ten seconds later*:
ME: OMGWTFBBQ!!
Small group of phoenix vs bc would make for an awesome cinematic
I love that English during the final clash
HE JUMP RIGHT NOW BEHIND THAT PROTOSS ARMY
It's never liberator range. It's always BC.
4:10 I can see Harstem face palming 🤣
When you mentioned BC range vs Tempest w/ Revelation range I was thinking what would happen if the BCs just jumped on the Skytoss ball. Well... we found out lol
So exciting match. There're such variety of units, not just the late game unit.
I love Polt, I learned so much from his TH-cam videos during his hiatus
Probably 1 of the best tvp game I've ever seen. Crazy from start to finish.
Omg, the gg right as the battlecruiser show up in the hood, perfect timing.
That game was absolutely EPIC!
That was one of the most satisfying match wins I have seen in a long time in SC2
I really like TvP. Would love to see more
I like to watch your casts only to realize that I'm not good playing starcraft XD. Excellent video! Love you from Mexico
as soon as that big tactical jump occurred @24:02, might have immediately recalled those tempests
that's harstem's last mining base though, so if he can't hold it, it was game over
last time i was that early battlecruisers were memes
24:05 When your girlfriend says she's home alone
WOW que tremendo juego, el salto táctico fue excelente... El poder del crucero de batalla pudo más .
Wow... that tactical jump, what a ballsy move
My man polt. Such an old school style of play
Har: finally I killed this bcs....
plot: who called in the fleet.
Har:.... im gonna head out now.
24:25 that moment man!!
Toss thinking : I got this
* 9 more BC's warp in*
Terran : hold my beer and watch this
Toss: *flips computer table*
The number of probes killed by those BC hit squad is actually batshit crazy!! Holy crap. BC good unit.
That was amazing! Geez put that down as a contender for best game of the year!

Man, I really want to see the 9 BCs wreck havoc after the jumped.
6, the other 3 were survivors from the previous fleet and two died before reinforcements jumped in.
What do you press for units loss tab?
This is such an awesome video!
That was...holy crap ...I loved this match
dat moment when the game ends where BC tactical jump lands on top of your troop. ROFL
Harstem be like fuck this shit im out.
that ending was awesome!
The whole time the tempests and bcs were clashing, I was just going 'tactical jump right behind the tempests, then they lose the range advantage.' and then he actually did it. In the words of some random Battlecruiser commander, 'who called in the fleet?'
That splitting of BC's.. the assault squads crippled harstrem and won polt the game
That was super fun to watch
I've had Sc2 for years but never really played it all that much because I'm always watching awesome matches like this xD ps I'm only 27percent through the Terran campaign.
That was a true Cmdr. Adama maneuver. 👌🏽
It looks like Harstem will survive the early pressure, but it counts up significantly to the endgame ...
No game is complete until Harstem winks.
Holy shit i only just now realize this is the same harstem that roasted lowko
something : exist
Lowko : UH !
I screamed like a little bitch when Polt Tactical Jumped behind the tempests XD
Sound track to this always reminds me of Firefly/Serenity
Hi Lowko! Right now I'm visiting your country the Netherlands as a tourist!
Who called in the fleet?!
Spoilers: that jump is exactly why I always keep some void rays in the mix. Tempests are rather fragile.
hmm doesnt it show the basic imbalance in the game, that there is not counter for mass bcs?

whoah an unexpected victory.
