I love how the top level zerg have started to spread creep like crazy. A few year back Scarlett was pretty much the only one with that fast of a spread
In my opinion (which is probably not to professional since i didnt play any ladder matches since original broodwar) scarlett is responsible for a lot of things zerg players learned to use to their advantage, since she rlly developed her playstyle over time
I absolutely love watching macro games. So satisfying to watch the whole thing play out and watch each player poke at each other, get big value, and then have a huge clash! So much fun and my favorite type of games. More would be so sick!, and great casting lowko :)
It was like a cold war of 1970s both just prepping for the great finale...!! WOW broods and fungus saved the day! It was damn crazy to see so many Nukes being deployed on a professional match! Thanks Lowko
I`ve been watching a couple of weeks videos from really good players, but this one surpasses them ALL. OUTSTANDING. Both players are excellent. Recommending/must watch.
Interesting to see Solar drop changeling on top of Cure's army on the last engagement. To prevent it from moving? Or to make him think he still has a big army?
Lowko good casting. the match between so high lvl players is mostly the reason i look at your movies on LowkoTV. Keep up the good work ! I have a question for you. In the near future (coming months) what are you gonna do ? LowkoTV
Great match. I am sure spoilers have been posted by now but... SPOIL SPOIL SPOIL Cure had all of the pieces, but perhaps made a couple too many mistakes. It was a nailbiter, nonetheless. Super happy for Solar.
Anyone think that the radius of the EMP should be decreased? just looking at the infestors and seeing how fast they loose their energy is ridiculous (and on the other side the Protoss equivalent only has the range of a single target (High templar for those wondering) ). What are your thoughts?
I don't really know what could Terran have done right there, maybe with a lot of Vikings it could have overpowered the Corruptors and kill the Broodlords but corruptors are way more cost efficient so idk, since the Ghosts couldn't get close enough for snipes they wheren't a good choice either, i sincerely don't know
Zerg is my favorite honestly, but I feel like they’re overpowered at the moment in late game. Most late games I see, the Zerg wins. Does anyone have stats on how true that is?
Macro - Your economic building skill, being on top of map control, staying on top of your population, etc. Micro - Your skill in controlling units and using them to their full potential. Skillful engagements.
Imagine the Macro-Game beeing the more overall, general and basics aspects of the game, starting with (continous) worker production to expanding at the right time and building the right amount of production facilities etc. Macro is more or less what is (or what should be) constant in all of your games in SC2. However, your Macrostyle defines what strategy you play. You´re going for many expansions and less units? => You´re trying to get to later stages of the game, with fully upgraded and expensive units. You´re not expanding at all but producing a lot of units? => You´re trying to finish the game early on. It´s more or less about spending or saving your resources for certain strategic parts of a general strategie you try to apply. Micro game is making the effort to maximize the worth of units (and buildings). For example, if microed correctly, two marines can beat one zealot. If not microed correctly/at all, a zealot will easily beat two marines. Most often (or at least most obviously) you can observe micro gaming in pros trying to prevent their units from dieing. Blocking enemies units from killing your workers with a building might also be considered to be part of the micro game, for example wall-ins are seen quiet often. Sometimes, it is not easily differenciable (is that even a word?) what is macro or micro. A wall-in can be a reaction to a push you spotted to late, or the normal routine of you trying to defend pushes without even scouting them. Regardlessly, both parts influence each other extremly and even a micro god may end up in Bronze because the macro-game is too weak. I personally would recommend to start learing macro strategies and then, based on what you enjoy to micro, start climbing to grandmaster =) I hope I could help you out. (Excuse me plz for unspotted (probably many) spelling/grammar mistakes). Have a nice day and don´t forget to smile allright?
in real world military terms it is logistical capability versus operational capability. i'll tell the story of General Greene and Brigadier General Morgan. General Greene was a self taught military man who had been appointed to a quartermaster post for his failures in leadership of troops in the field, and the knowledge he gained made him an expert on logistics. Brigadier General Morgan had served in the British army in which he was severely punished in his commander's steed, and thus hated the British military. General Greene was put in command of the southern forces of the American revolution, and was made second in command for all American forces. he decided to split his army in order to harass the British army, as it was far larger and better equipped than the American forces. Brigadier General Morgan was picked to lead the second force in the back country. The British split its forces to deal with the two armies. The force facing Morgan fell for a feigned retreat and was double enveloped (pincer) in what is oftentimes considered the best executed double envelopment of American history. the British force was wiped out. meanwhile Greene fought several skirmishes to keep the British army occupied, retreating each time. the British force chased Greene across the south in hopes of catching him, and out ran its supply lines. Greene always ensured that his forces had what they needed to overcome each obstacle in his way, and thus was able to stay ahead of the British force, eventually reach the Dan River. his forces had everything they needed to cross the river when they got there, but the British had to find adequate crossing. the British recognizing they could not win a river crossing began to retreat. Greene's forces harassed the British all the way back, which means that the British had to fight without supply double what they had already done. the British forces suffered severe attrition and thus were too weak to oppose them when they regained supply, and thus were laid siege causing them even further degradation. the war ended before the British were defeated, though they were too weak to stand against the American forces. General Greene is the Macro player, having just what he needs when he needs it, even when resources are low. Brigadier General Morgan is the Micro player, using what forces he has so well that he can defeat a much larger force.
wow zerg players are people!? I thought they are just a bunch of broodmothers magically have the biological apparatus to play video games you are so wise Lowko!
Lowko please units health only on damaged units. Its kind of visually unimpressive when in a control group of lings you see only green bars. Fights are bars fighting bars. Love your videos BTW. Keep up the good work.
Hmm If I recall Bronze Silver Gold Platinum Diamond Master Grandmaster Yes This is TRUE GRANDMASTER LEVEL. Only the Elite of Elites can get to this level. So yeah Lowko at least your a master and Don't take it a bad way only a Master can teach the kids (That make me wonder can a Grandmaster teach the kids?)
Raven Pope i'm pretty New to the game, but i mostly win by numbers xD It still sounds counterintuitive for me that vikings loose for corruptors, thoug =\
Actually, according to StarCraft lore, the vast majority of marines are criminals... so they actually won't be missed that much in the grand scheme of things.
i dunno what it is. but watching starcraft matches always the guy i root for looses. whats up with that? still an incredible game to watch however butthurt my fandom is.
Yeah, not winning after letting the other guy bank 12k resources and then trading and then massively over-committing... poor Terran. Should auto-win if they hit 200.
Wait. So people play according to fads of playing? I always hear about how battles and defenses are trending. I just thought it was a joke. OK, I guess...
I play all 3 races. Zerg macro gets me my highest MMR by a longshot. Zerg players I guess are accountants or boring people who like spreadhseets or your grandpa....
Its sad for be good you must send marines to die (for scouting ore push) but if you wan't to lose marine you will lose rank but i just cant sed marine to die i just can't 😭😭😭 they are soo cute and the way how they screming i just cant 😭😭😭 rip all dead marines(of st2) on the world 😢😢😢 you was so god
"Zerg players are people too guys" - Lowko 2018
can't believe Lowko would lie to us like that
Ducksby Duck we treat them like people now?
I love how the top level zerg have started to spread creep like crazy. A few year back Scarlett was pretty much the only one with that fast of a spread
In my opinion (which is probably not to professional since i didnt play any ladder matches since original broodwar) scarlett is responsible for a lot of things zerg players learned to use to their advantage, since she rlly developed her playstyle over time
But the question is what is Lowko responsible for ?
you forgot stephano
I absolutely love watching macro games. So satisfying to watch the whole thing play out and watch each player poke at each other, get big value, and then have a huge clash! So much fun and my favorite type of games. More would be so sick!, and great casting lowko :)
AMAZING BACK AND FORTH!
It was like a cold war of 1970s both just prepping for the great finale...!! WOW broods and fungus saved the day! It was damn crazy to see so many Nukes being deployed on a professional match! Thanks Lowko
broods awfully low on energy :thinking:
Игорь Тогобецкий he probably meant either health or was referring to the vipers
Beatifull play by both of them!
I`ve been watching a couple of weeks videos from really good players, but this one surpasses them ALL.
OUTSTANDING. Both players are excellent.
Recommending/must watch.
When that poor marine hit squad at 15:30 got devoured by the swarm it looked like the cutscene in which Sarah also gets overrun, sans the mutas.
Crazy game , that hatchery CC race in the top of the map was insane haha
Lowko you’re always a delight to listen to!
I whatch Lowko just for the Zerg wins. Zerg is life, Zerg is love! Never let me down!
Interesting to see Solar drop changeling on top of Cure's army on the last engagement. To prevent it from moving? Or to make him think he still has a big army?
This is by far one of the most intense games ever!!!
Lowko i love u, thanks you for support me in the worst moments.
Good luck dude, with whatever it is you're dealing with.
"MUKE"? sounds OP
curruptors feel sooo strong with their puking and their bombs
Lowko good casting.
the match between so high lvl players is mostly the reason i look at your movies on LowkoTV.
Keep up the good work !
I have a question for you.
In the near future (coming months) what are you gonna do ?
LowkoTV
Cure was so close. Awesome game!
Beautiful match.
That was the best match I've ever watched :0
Great match. I am sure spoilers have been posted by now but...
SPOIL
SPOIL
SPOIL
Cure had all of the pieces, but perhaps made a couple too many mistakes. It was a nailbiter, nonetheless. Super happy for Solar.
Dam Lowko this was a good match
24:46 Did that Infester just got squashed by a rooting Spore?
Yaaaay finally a new professional game / cast :3
EPIC!!
Best game I've ever seen
Lowko, I miss the way you say the red Zerg pieces. It feels a lot better, and like you said, its like chess.
Anyone think that the radius of the EMP should be decreased? just looking at the infestors and seeing how fast they loose their energy is ridiculous (and on the other side the Protoss equivalent only has the range of a single target (High templar for those wondering) ). What are your thoughts?
This was an amazing game.
"one one one once again" - Lowko
You say some how some way when the marines are melting in a field of broodlings.
After watching your videos, I've got the itch. I'm buying this game
Macro games are soooo awesome!
That was an amazing match!
Heyy, it's a Solar game, feels good.
I don't really know what could Terran have done right there, maybe with a lot of Vikings it could have overpowered the Corruptors and kill the Broodlords but corruptors are way more cost efficient so idk, since the Ghosts couldn't get close enough for snipes they wheren't a good choice either, i sincerely don't know
I wanna like this one more than once!
Could Solar neural parasite a ghost a lunch a nuke at the Terran? Idk if that work or not, I'm not good at CS2
That was intense and insane xD
Epic game, that was amazon
Tough Victory For Solar ..
Look at those zerg players expanding. Expansions were made for the terran players.
What is it time for again?
Lowko, let's watch Kelazhur's games.
Lowko do you think you could cast BroodWar?
i don't think he has enough experience with that game to cast it
For the Swarm!
Why is creep so important?
Imagine if high templar could fly have increased move speed and storms could stack, oh wait thats the new raven...
Zerg is my favorite honestly, but I feel like they’re overpowered at the moment in late game. Most late games I see, the Zerg wins. Does anyone have stats on how true that is?
I'm new to starcraft,what is macro and micro?
Zogoria Kaboria what is micro?
micro is your control of the units in battle, macro is the handling of the overall production
Macro - Your economic building skill, being on top of map control, staying on top of your population, etc.
Micro - Your skill in controlling units and using them to their full potential. Skillful engagements.
Imagine the Macro-Game beeing the more overall, general and basics aspects of the game, starting with (continous) worker production to expanding at the right time and building the right amount of production facilities etc. Macro is more or less what is (or what should be) constant in all of your games in SC2.

Great game!
Insane game
how do you submit a game?
lowko confirmed, zerg players are changelings.
No wings of liberty today? :(
I've got one planned for today instead. Stay tuned!
wow zerg players are people!? I thought they are just a bunch of broodmothers magically have the biological apparatus to play video games you are so wise Lowko!
Lowko please units health only on damaged units. Its kind of visually unimpressive when in a control group of lings you see only green bars. Fights are bars fighting bars.
Love your videos BTW. Keep up the good work.
Hmm If I recall
Bronze Silver Gold Platinum Diamond Master Grandmaster
Yes This is TRUE GRANDMASTER LEVEL. Only the Elite of Elites can get to this level. So yeah Lowko at least your a master and
Don't take it a bad way only a Master can teach the kids (That make me wonder can a Grandmaster teach the kids?)
THEIR PISSING ON THE COMMAND CENTER!!
"This terran army looks overpowered"... Meanwhile in the real world, the zerg had 6K 3k bank and won the game easily :)) Oh , Lowko!...
Why nobody try viking agresion?
Too many Corruptors, Vikings would have been shreded
NANCOK i mean sombody try to hunt drones whit vikings but you are right if he secure the air he will be win
NANCOK but doesn't vikings have bônus vs armor and corruptors have only bonus vs massive? Shoudn't It be in favor of the vikings? .-.
Sometimes Starcraft is just a numbers game
Raven Pope i'm pretty New to the game, but i mostly win by numbers xD
It still sounds counterintuitive for me that vikings loose for corruptors, thoug =\
where's the sc2 campaign?
when you run out of ravens
Helluva game.
Actually, according to StarCraft lore, the vast majority of marines are criminals... so they actually won't be missed that much in the grand scheme of things.
They used to be professional soldiers, then neuroresocialized criminal then neuroresocialized kidnapped colonists.
i dunno what it is. but watching starcraft matches always the guy i root for looses. whats up with that? still an incredible game to watch however butthurt my fandom is.
An Underdog username checks out
A macro war without innovation? :o
sad to see how terrnas are weaker at late game to zerg.
Gubbica99 If any faction controlls more then half of the map It shoud be at an advantage, you know... More bases / income / vision and stuff
Yeah, not winning after letting the other guy bank 12k resources and then trading and then massively over-committing... poor Terran. Should auto-win if they hit 200.
Not enough ghosts
EPIC!
Guys in am people too don't forget about me plz me kind sir and so are Zerg look at lowko he is a kind sir
SOME HOW SOME WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
as we all know, you can't CURE the zerg
GG !
2:53 #zerglivesmatter
WOW!
Marines actualy have no families
That's not macro. Macro is Nothin' but battle cruisers and how fast you can rebuild dead ones.
180 terran supply rebuilt in one minute is macro, does not matter what unit(s) it is..
...some how, some way.... can`t hear that anymore
What is this map....... have been seeing it an awfully lot (?)
Wait. So people play according to fads of playing? I always hear about how battles and defenses are trending. I just thought it was a joke.
OK, I guess...
WOW
Finally zergs win something, really i have seen a lot of games and the zergs always lost
wtf? troll over 9000?
nah. Scarlet won with zerg aswell
Great Great game, despite of the op terrans with that nonsense AOE damage, solar won, blizzard please terrans need balance,

GIVE ME SOME IDEAS!!!!!
Bitch lasagna
Die?
Good suggestions so far...
I play all 3 races. Zerg macro gets me my highest MMR by a longshot. Zerg players I guess are accountants or boring people who like spreadhseets or your grandpa....
