0:53 Thank you for providing the stats on screen. It's an edit that people may not see but it really brings into perspective how people do well in tournaments!
@@mariuspaulbayertz8783 The 89% win rate vs Zerg is for this year 'overall'. The 23 wins out of 31 games is only against the players listed. So he hasn't performed as well against these players when compared to his winrate for the whole year
Everyone likes to talk about how Clem has the best Terran vs Zerg in the world but the stats reveal that this is not his best match up. Instead, I believe the data shows that Clem is just really good at his Terran vs Reynor.
@@CamBoi99 sad reality is, that at the time nobody probably. Protoss professional lineup is pretty weak right now, since some protoss koreans went to army
As someone who doesn't even play star craft I used to watch Husky till he disappeared but then I found lowko. It was love at first sight:') for me anyway aha. Maybe one day I'll try pro starcraft but I think my apm will be shocking xD fun to watch though!
SC2 benefits a lot from having such a great caster. You seamlessly explain the basics of the game to allow newer viewers to understand what's going on. Keep up the good work Lowko! 👍
"Why people watch other esports?" Honestly, because nowadays the matchups are so formulaic that games look the same, outside cheese. Zerg especially - but protoss too, while terran at least has 2 viable and different end games in bio and mech - look almost coreographed with the same moves at the same times. The only difference is how skillfully those moves are made, but watch one and you've watched them all. I immediately cheer for anyone doing anything outside of meta, like tech switching to mass BC, neural parasite, blink DT hit squads, etc.
People love watching what they CAN do, but on another level. While starcarft is something not many people, or I daresay very few people can play and have fun effectively. They can't do it, so more chance they don't understand it, and thus, don't find it fun. A 700 APM moment of multitasking opponent to death is something not everyone understand to admire, let alone admire. It's like art. Secondly people love roleplaying a single character than being an invisible commander leading an army.
As a former SC2 elitist, I now enjoy League of Legends just as much as well as watching it. It's the team aspect that makes it interesting it its own way. If there were huge maps with 3v3, 4v4, or 5v5 in SC2, that'd be so fucking epic, though. It'd be the best of both worlds.
There are, theyre just not... Popularly played. Also the game lags crazy hard even with good rig and net due to it not being optimized for such number of entities being active at once.
I love when Lowko breathes a little sigh of relief during a brief respite in the game. Shows how exciting the game is, now imagine playing it, if that's the effect it can have on someone watching it 😂 I would disagree just a little on the comment about Starcraft being clean to watch for new viewers. It wasn't until I started to practice playing and listening to casts that I truly got a grasp on what was happening in tournament games. It also gave me a huge respect for just how amazing these pro players are at what they do. When you try to practice a build order against the A.I. and even without harass, you find it hard not to mess up, it tells you alot about how good these players really are.
Just back from a girlfriend's place. Got the rest of the night for myself. Got a cigar and some beer. Enjoy a phenomenal pro sc2 game commented by Lowko. What a great day.

Love the additional stats on 1:00. P.S. I often keep an "aligulac" tab open while watching your videos. U might wanna consider (Obviously, hiring an editor, u cant do everything, Lowko!) adding graphics more often in videos (Player stats at the start, some end game graphics, tournament tag, etc...)
Observation: Solar is a master strategist of zergling rallying and zoning. His work ethic in relentlessly hunting down memes was the tactic that broke the infamous Clem memes contain. Lurker baiting done wonderfully with very aggressive ling flood. Never touch Roach, Muta, Queen (except for creep spread and early range defense), Nydus, Ultra. Just simple overseers, lings, banes, with lurker baits. Curiously, Clem did abandon the MMM way earlier than all of his TvZ matches. Maybe has to do with lurker baiting without any zerg flier?
is it possible to do a Medivac, BC, Ghost and marines? Medivac picks up or drop ghosts to snipe anything coming to atk the BC and BC can kill all the lings, banes and lurkers and marines just be a buffer as a frontline
Does ping make a difference? When Clem plays Koreans online, both players will have a high ping. This is fair for both players, but it must detract from Clem's micro a little and make the games a little more weighted to other factors. I'm assuming that when Clem plays European zerg, he's at lower ping.
This might be critical, Reynor once said he hates playing ling/bane against Clem because his micro just makes it impossible. The zerg definately has the advantage when the ping goes up a bit, fully upgraded zerglings are easier to control compared to splitting and target firing with marines.
the thing is terran is higlhly micro intensive, especially Clem gameplay. So it is higly related to ping, Clem, with Byun are maybe the 2 players in the world which gameplay is impacted by Ping the most. So when he play vs korean player online, he struggle.
As great as the gameplay was in this I've had waning interest in SC2 because TvZ is my favourite matchup but I'm tired of seeing widow mines ""great hit" "super efficient" "OMG those widow mine hits" "amazing widow mines" "so many dead lings to widow mines" Widow mines Widow mines Widow mines Widow mines Widow mines Widow mines sigh. I'd like to see some other Terran units doing well.
I think it was around 20+min mark that Solar took a fight at Clems 1st expo and main that Clem lost his only factory that was making the occasional tank and the low eco of the late game that prevented him from investing in more tanks instead of ghosts and libs. I wouldn't really blame Clem's decisions in the late game, he was doing his best and was trading pretty efficiently on defense but that's all he was doing at that point. He wasn't counter harassing or pushing back as aggressively as he did in the early game which is what ultimately lost him the match. Great solid slugfest all around.
I think a couple of Thors would have made a big difference. Needed something to hold the front line while the weaker units can dish out more damage. 2 thors per a fight would have made a pretty big impact.
How come terrans never move their production structures to their mining bases in the late game? I mean if Clem had moved his barracks to the 6oclock base he wouldnt have had to shuffle between his main and mining base. He would just have to stand his ground... and i dont mean fly them all at once but maybe one or two at a time maybe?
I think it's mostly because the add-ons can't fly. They're pretty important. And while they're not hugely expensive individually the total cost is quite significant. It's is enough that you really don't want to rebuild them just to move production location. Obviously this isn't a hard rule; in base trades the Terran will absolutely abandon the add-ons to relocate production.
@@mso2013 Ayup, Terran late game is production non-stop, people can't even spare a tech lab for starport despite how great Raven is at creep cleaning + support.
All videos with Clem start by praising him because he always wins against Zerg... But then in all videos I saw Clem ends up losing :) I would be happy to see Clem win from time to time (as apparently that should happen 9 times over 10)
I used to play League of Legends like an addiction and watched the pros for years, was my first e-sport. But I quit League, and don't watch the pros, because this is so much more interesting. I play Starcraft 2 but at 35 I'm just too old, so it's tough playing competitive and learning how to get good, but I absolutely love watching the pros! Thx Lowko for still saying things here and there to help new players, like what certain units or buildings do.
I feel the same way. I'm also too far into my 30's and just started out playing Starcraft 2. I'm a big fan of C&C, especially Kane's Wrath. I used to play pvp back when the game was just out, but not anymore. I still entertain the thought of trying some multiplayer, but never do, because I'm just too slow with the hotkeys and stuff. I do play some Quick matches now and then in C&C Remastered and even win some games. But those old C&C games are simple compared to C&C3 and Starcraft 2.
I don't really watch many eSports, but SC2 is not a team game. At least, not most of the time. LoL/DotA/etc. *are* and the team dynamics is probably where a lot of the fun comes in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ However, my smooth brain can't even figure out what Clem did wrong here. How did he lose after that dominating lead?
I think it was just that Solar was able to keep up with Clem's shenanigans very well; preemptively pumping drones to nullify the early game harassment, keeping up with Clem's want to split his attention to multiple fights, and using Zergling's mobility to make pushing forward very difficult while he built up tech and materials in the background.
24:20 I would disagree about Starcraft being simple and easy to watch. I think a League of Legends game is waay easier to keep track of especially compared to the fighting all around the map that Clem did in the early game of this match. That being said, there is a certain beauty in these SC matches.
Hey Lowko, regarding your winrate calculations of Clem this year vs Zerg.... His Winrate based on your video informations is 57.90% not 89%. I dont know where do you get your numbers.
Dont get me wrong, Clem is super great player. But he is one trick pony against zerg. Marines mines is must and later it is ghost time. Even when ppl knows what is he going to do, they cant punish it. Reynor tries to mix things up against him, but none of the mix seems to work great. This time I think he only lost because of that one ghost missplay. Is Clem really that good? Or is just this strategy really that good? BTW huge thumb up for Solar, his focus was insane!
24:20...yeah, sure, super easy :P. It's because of how used you are to the game and how much you know about it. I play SC2, but not even close to ur lvl. Think of the bronce league viewer submitted videos and that's pretty much it lol. Without ur comentary I wouldn't get half of wtf is happening (or why it's happening) which would substract a ton to my enjoyment of the match. I could say the same you said there about LoL or DDO because I play them a lot, for example.
Maaan i get you when you say that you wonder why people would watch anything but SC... and you are right.... Now... the league of legends comparison doesn't fit there... cuz league of legends I would say is a differente type of game. So these two games I think shouldn't be compared... they are incredible in their own particular style.
Honestly I don’t know why guys fan boy over Clem didn’t he recently get smashed by Rogue 3-0? Show those games Clem wins against lesser Zerg players and beats reynor and Serral because they’re not as aggressive as Dark and Rogue. Clem is great when he is on the enemies side of the map and harassing them to death he can’t take his own medicine and quickly falls apart when he’s being attacked and harassed. There’s just too much bias for this kid and I don’t get why.

Does ping make a difference? When Clem plays Koreans online, both players will have a high ping.

Without ur comentary I wouldn't get half of wtf is happening (or why it's happening) which would substract a ton to my enjoyment of the match. I could say the same you said there about LoL or DDO because I play them a lot, for example.
clem lost the game when he lost all those ghosts to those banelings
Does Clem ever use nukes??
Clem is INSANE! fixed your Video title Lowko :P
Clem relies way too much on offense.. you gotta protect your CC's even if it's just a bunker and a tank .. it goes a long way
That terran play is extremely annoying but effective
Maaan i get you when you say that you wonder why people would watch anything but SC... and you are right.... Now... the league of legends comparison doesn't fit there... cuz league of legends I would say is a differente type of game. So these two games I think shouldn't be compared... they are incredible in their own particular style.
Lol, I thought Clem won in this game? Does holding the game until 30 mins insane enough? Jeez
solar won
sieged tanks on top of burrowed mines
improvised APS new meta?
Geez...
Aw, I wanted to see Clem win again. :( The title is so misleading... Although I kinda expected that.
Solar is TOUGH
Honestly I don’t know why guys fan boy over Clem didn’t he recently get smashed by Rogue 3-0? Show those games Clem wins against lesser Zerg players and beats reynor and Serral because they’re not as aggressive as Dark and Rogue. Clem is great when he is on the enemies side of the map and harassing them to death he can’t take his own medicine and quickly falls apart when he’s being attacked and harassed. There’s just too much bias for this kid and I don’t get why.
No one really cares about your silver opinion dude.
