See, this is what I feel like Zerg should be like thematically. Contain the enemy, control the map, get more resources, crush with overwhelming numbers and starve the enemy out. Makes the Zerg feel way more like the swarm that they are called.
Agree, this is what zerg play style look like: huge income, constant attacks, map control and adapt tactics that opponents throw at. Not a very slow advance zerg tactic, turtle defense and heavy rely on caster for a win.
It actually is not exactly like that. Zerg needs to get an income advantage and then send wave after wave. Now in Broodwar, zerg did not have to contain the opponent, they just needed to get map control and out expand the opponent to get an income advantage. In LotV, if the opponent has 3-4 bases, it does not matter how much bases you have, you will not get an income advantage , due to supply limitations. So the only way to get an income advantage is to restrict opponent mining, AKA contain the enemy, which is very artificial and map dependent. It would be much more easier if you actually gained an income advantage for having more bases on the same worker count, but they are not doing that. Blizzard rejected the mining change proposed by TeamLiquid to make that possible at the beginning of LotV.
Hey Lowko, I crunched some numbers! soO's current winnings from second places in the tournaments you listed are $281,565.50. If he had won them all, he would have instead earned $662,748.64, which is 2.35 times more. Winning half (taking the average here, but tournament prizes are really varied so it's not completely accurate) He would have earned $472,157.07, which is still 1.67 times more. For reference, adding a few of his other tournaments into account, if he had won all of his 2nd places he would be the number 1 player in the world at about $870,000. If he won half, he would have $680,000, placing him on the number 4 globally, and number 3 in Korea. (Right now he's 8/7). No idea if it's even remotely interesting but here you go
Soo's play is so adaptive. I love it. That game felt like a Husky-era game with the Zerg going heavy econ and starving out the Terran. That happened all the time back in 2012-2013.
I've only been watching your channel for around 2 years but it's matches that are as chaotic as this one that I love, mainly bc of the weird transitions but also your reaction to them lol
@@crabscrustacean1087 Yes.. and maybe he could also explain that he casts Starcraft 2 games, just in case people consistently fail to read _"LowkoTV"_ and _"StarCraft 2:..."_
Thanks for all the entertaining videos, Lowko. Every evening I start up the youtube app when I go to sleep. And every time I see there is new content from you, it brings a big smile to my face.
Kudos to Lowko for giving me the inspiration to go back in playing starcraft again 😂 i was wayback in high school on playing this kind of game. More power to you and goodluck with your streaming career.
I agree, I also love that zerg transition into ravens and infestors! Sometimes as a zerg I cheese and go early ravens. You can do a lot of cheeky harass with them.
everytime lowko doesn't start a cast without his legendary "heeeellooooo everyone, my name is Lowko" i die a little inside :/. it's my favourite part apart from the actual game. I still love your casts no matter what, keep it up!
It took Starcraft 2 a whole decade to mature into something truly beautiful and perfect. Zerg finally plays like zerg. Alot of units are nearly perfectly balanced. Game had grown from pale shadow of what it was in 2010 into something really great.
I would hardly say this was a pale shadow when the actual release took place, maybe the last top quality development Blizzard did, graphically and programatically (the editor and the engine details were way ahead of any other RTS proposal). It was hard to have reliable strategies when they used to change the units every two "micropatchs", while Starcraft never experienced a lot of changes.
@@seokkyunhong8812 There is a lot still to do, but I had meant that Zerg actually plays like Zerg now and we finally are starting to nail spirit of RTS and Starcraft. You know, basic principles where every unit which you can build in match is useful at any period in game and your race plays like it is supposed to. I still do not like many things, for example Reapers need to be improved. They definitely need their explosive charges back as late game upgrade. Now they are mostly useless outside of building 1 Reaper. Sure, you can pull some cute stuff with their spam, but usually that is sub-optimal strategy and this unit doesn't do what it was envisioned to do.
Hey Lowko, what do you think about an ultra upgrade that caps out the amount of damage they can take from one attack? I am a protoss player but I like to see ultras played and I think they should be better than they are right now. I mean they are suppose to be the top tier zerg unit but are countered so hard by ghost, liberators, and everything that protoss has. I don't know the numbers that would need to be messed with for that but I think it would be cool to have this so they still get countered by ghosts and liberators and the like but are able to tank a little more.
I think the fact that this ability got removed from immortals is kinda the answer. It seems that "take X damage at max" is "potentially negate infinite amount of damage", and it was THE hardcounter to e.g. tanks Right now, all counters to ultras require active micro from the opponent and can be counterplayed against by zerg. It's the kind of balance everyone likes more than just juggling numbers, when every unit is good or bad depending if you can control it. Anyway, that's what LotV seems to be about
Dear lord I love this zerg style, I feel like this is how zerg is supposed to work, if nothing else it makes for a very enjoyable watching experience. Neat to see the often worthless ultralisk shine a little bit as well.
SpawnofHeck he wudve just had to double click tanks then a click then click in middle of ghosts and half would instantly die to 3 tank shots simultaneously, so i disagree thats barely any micro
People always underestimate the power of late game cracklings. Keep main army busy, then get his side base with the Utras... brilliant move! Great Game!
Terran should have transition to air much faster; and for godsake pls give us Nova's units (ghost's that are double shooting & goliath that can attack air and ground at the same time + paralysis agaisnt air) !
wow lol, I am a little younger then Clem, I have been playing Sc2 since I was 6 (almost 10 years) and I am still stuck in Platnium league, I need to learn what Clem did to get so good, so young :)
Galactic Viper Seriously, hire lowko as a coach. I’d work a summer part time job to afford it just because of how epic it would be to be coached by him.
2 buffs I think would be cool for ultralisks would either be, a thornmail type passive where attacking it inflicts damage back to the attacker, or a charge ability, not like zealots, but a point and click area of effect charge that's short to medium distance. It's a straight line charge. Just an idea
Lowko, you know that in a sword fight the highground is worse.... because you cant defend your legs as well and the person from the bottom has a better range because his shoulders are closer to his opponent.
I still think ghosts snipe needs some kind of change. They're literally just an "off switch" for anything expensive that a zerg needs to do. They're a double offswitch for zerg casters. It's kinda dumb. I'd make it not be able to target massives for now, at least.
Ultras were always my favorite zerg unit since they can just run it down and tank a billion damage. Really cool to see Soo really utilize the unit in a setting where ultras are seemingly unpopular among the pros
The main problem with ultras is they're too fat. They block each other, block roaches, and [z/b]lings, makes things a mess. Their damage isn't very good either considering that they're melee range.
Looking at the supply count the Ultralisks really did work here, they may not be very mineral/gas efficent, but they build fast and don't take much larvae. soO was constantly remaxing way faster than Clem could even hope to for the last 6 minutes.
Fantastic game, SoO is really showing his strategic side, just like he did with Zest. Really enjoying the current meta, well, to watch anyway. As Zerg, I suck playing against it XD
I think that after buffing lurkers and giving them a range update available with a hive, effectively making lurkers a tier 3 unit, I think they should make ultra cavern available at lair tech. That way ultralisks will be an easier option. And maybe make the speed upgrade for the ultras available at hive tech
eh I only played this game's campaign, but why are there so many units like the hellion transforming to firebat that is not available in the campaign? Did they update these units through out the development cycle or nah.
I think the triple Evo + multi-macro is viable because of how quickly Zerg can remax when it loses an army. You can make a drastic switch in a heartbeat. Limited only by their economy. Like you've said in many videos, you must slow the Zerg economy.
not to mention that soo did it again, forced the enemy in a particular tech path then did a quick and full switch to counter the counter 😊 also, i feel that ultras are countered by to many things, give them a spell immunity shield vs ghosts or upgrade the armored carapace so they can only take a max damage amount, much like immortal shields. would still leave them vulnerable to thors though.
If I may ask you and community, would it be possible to make a hellion/hellbat and marine push? I feel like it could be relatively viable early to mid-game, especially with medivac support.
Ultras are an uber unit whose only good against massed tier 1 units. They need either a new ability or a replacement. I'm thinking a charge type of ability that either reduces damage taken while rushing in, or allows the charge to finish even after death that would give the Zerg a late game option of breaking through fortified Terran defenses. Or allow them to fuse with broodlords and become ultralords
they should lower the supply usage of the Ultralisks. they are essentially super heavy zerglings. they are armored and mobile but melee and organic. the lower supply usage would allow more units to support them, or if the area is open enough for a mass amount to overwhelm the enemy.
16:49 "Zerg can transition towards /RAVENS/ and jnfestors or ultral.... Edit: Think bl should be able to release broodlings at any give time and not be conditioned to attack something necessarily, they did that with swarm hosts. So I don't see the problem.
I agree Ultas need to be rebalanced/buffed. But, ever tried Ultras with Queens behind them? I've found this combination highlights ultras' advantage: large (hard to get around to attack queens, plus high armor and health while being healed by queens makes them extra tanky). Queens shoot over the ultras, doing some extra damage. Ultas cost alot in gas so you'd hope to have a complementing unit that doesn't require gas (queens). High nubmer of queens can pave a road for ussain bultralisks if desired.
Wow! incredible job by SoO. I can see why he's one of the top players of SC2. It's quite surprising to see a win that uses mutalisks and so many ultralisks. "that kind of felt like 2021 SC2", well you know it's actually a lot more like *2011 SC2* ... siege tanks, ghosts, hellions, vikings, thor vs ultralisks, zerglings, banelings, roaches, broodlord. For most of the game no units beyond WoL were used aside from a few very rare sprinkling of viper/liberator and maybe an exception to a significant number of ravagers for most of the game. Early on there was hellbat, cyclone use as well though.
Hey Lowko, If you going to read a list like this out loud again, please tell us how many it was in the end. As someone who isnt thaaat fimiliar with Starcraft its kinda hard to count them all.
I win so many games with Ultras. When people see 10 ultras walk up into their base they just give up. And if they don't then I just destroy their base with ultras and usually ignore the army because ultras take SO LONG to kill.
Thx for making all these awesome videos my man they relly help and are funny =)) because of you i was able to identify and counter a proxy rax play =))
Merc Ury you may be limited by the resolution of your monitor most monitors these days are at least 1080p so check if yours is especially old. It’s also possible that SC2 is forcibly lowering your setting so that your graphics card can keep up with the performance demand, and unfortunately that can only be fixed by upgrading your hardware. Best of luck friend :)
@@ekothesilent9456 my graphics card is a 2070 RTX and an i7 9th gen CPU. My monitor is also a 144hz monitor. Its definitely not my machine. I am wondering if the replays have scaled the graphics better? Similar to when you watch a replay on team fortress 2 vs playing it?
If I had won every tournament I didn't participated in, people would consider me to be the most successful player of all time. But for soO. I think 2nd place in a premiere tournament is still a success. You get money after all and not that little.
I wonder if Clem's underage tournament finish you spoke of resulted in someone being told "So you actually did qualify but only because we figured out you lost to a child"
I like this ultratease strategy. Give the enemy a false sense of hope when they see ultras, then crush them with other units. Soon all of them will be crying "NERF ULTRAS"
Why didn't Clem go for the top left base the whole game? Instead of suiciding for that bottom base below the zerg? Just trying to understand if I am missing something
They both did mistakes or had weird choices, zerg made lots of expensive weak ultras and the terran made lots of expensive ghosts that were just not cost efficient at all for that circumstance
14:53 -> So what do you think is the WEAKEST unit for each race? Weakest in all SC2? .. .. .. hint.. What you unit you would mind least playing wihtout when playing competitively? Playing Zerg with Ultras banned .. would be less bad than playing them with any other unit banned so I guess I agree with LowKo about Zerg.
Joel Gawne bullet sponges... in brood war they had a high attack damage good against armor, but here they have a sweeping claw to counter clumped units. Unfortunately they die too fast to be bullet sponges and two of the biggest clunkers are too fast for it to be aggressive. And marines can just stim away. This forces them to be used more defensively but by then the opponent can easily build air, overwhelming numbers, or siege weaponry to counter. Balancing them is hard because if they get even a slight speed boost they could be overpowered, but numerous damage buffs have had less effect. It’s hard to get them just right. You want them to counter basic bio and later act as meat shields, not unstoppable pain trains that plow through everything. They’re not cavalry and never should be.
See, this is what I feel like Zerg should be like thematically. Contain the enemy, control the map, get more resources, crush with overwhelming numbers and starve the enemy out. Makes the Zerg feel way more like the swarm that they are called.
I was thinking exactly this and scrolled down. Glad to see im not the only one
and tarren should have superior static defence with protos having better spell casting...
definitely, first time in a long time i see a zerg game that feels like actual zerg.
Agree, this is what zerg play style look like: huge income, constant attacks, map control and adapt tactics that opponents throw at. Not a very slow advance zerg tactic, turtle defense and heavy rely on caster for a win.

Macro hatcheries to pump out ultralisk. Then tri evolution chambers to get all the upgrades. It's like his brain snapped ftw!
In Starcraft I, Ultras were used to draw fire away from the units that were doing the real damage.

Good ling finish from SoO. Too many times we see zerg players missing the opportunity to make 30 or 40 lings and just wipe the map in the late game.
Yeah, it was really nice! Lings are probably the best unit to deliver a deathblow once armies are down, and this was executed perfectly!

For most of the game no units beyond WoL were used aside from a few very rare sprinkling of viper/liberator and maybe an exception to a significant number of ravagers for most of the game. Early on there was hellbat, cyclone use as well though.
Hey Lowko, If you going to read a list like this out loud again, please tell us how many it was in the end. As someone who isnt thaaat fimiliar with Starcraft its kinda hard to count them all.
Ah, yes, Raven, my favorite zerg spellcaster
This is the SC2 version of Benjamin Button omg
16:42 Zerg can’t get ravens 😂 happens to me all the time when streaming
I win so many games with Ultras. When people see 10 ultras walk up into their base they just give up. And if they don't then I just destroy their base with ultras and usually ignore the army because ultras take SO LONG to kill.
Thx for making all these awesome videos my man they relly help and are funny =)) because of you i was able to identify and counter a proxy rax play =))
I have my graphics all turned up at max but it doesn't look like this. Why ?
Merc Ury you may be limited by the resolution of your monitor most monitors these days are at least 1080p so check if yours is especially old. It’s also possible that SC2 is forcibly lowering your setting so that your graphics card can keep up with the performance demand, and unfortunately that can only be fixed by upgrading your hardware. Best of luck friend :)
@@ekothesilent9456 my graphics card is a 2070 RTX and an i7 9th gen CPU. My monitor is also a 144hz monitor. Its definitely not my machine. I am wondering if the replays have scaled the graphics better? Similar to when you watch a replay on team fortress 2 vs playing it?
If I had won every tournament I didn't participated in, people would consider me to be the most successful player of all time.
But for soO. I think 2nd place in a premiere tournament is still a success. You get money after all and not that little.
New Ultralisk name - Sortalisk, because they're sorta good.

I really like your commentary
If all games ware like that...i would watch SC2 so much more.
I wonder if Clem's underage tournament finish you spoke of resulted in someone being told "So you actually did qualify but only because we figured out you lost to a child"
I am a very simple man: I see Clem I like.
who cast this game? not sure who it is
24:12 mules am I a joke to you?
just came back from your stream, im so happy!!!
I like this ultratease strategy. Give the enemy a false sense of hope when they see ultras, then crush them with other units. Soon all of them will be crying "NERF ULTRAS"
17:30 big brain so neurals 4 tanks and blinding clouds them instantly
this so0 character is the most successful just because of how consistent he gets second place it seems.
Why didn't Clem go for the top left base the whole game? Instead of suiciding for that bottom base below the zerg? Just trying to understand if I am missing something
They both did mistakes or had weird choices, zerg made lots of expensive weak ultras and the terran made lots of expensive ghosts that were just not cost efficient at all for that circumstance
As a Terran, I just cant handle Zerg. 25:00 is generally how it goes whether I try Mech or Bio armies.
2056 Starcraft Vipers dropping Queens in Main at 12 minute
Siege tank splits against banelings.
Thats news to me. :D
Oh Clem, the god of the Tenno.

14:53 ->
So what do you think is the WEAKEST unit for each race? Weakest in all SC2?
..
..
..
hint.. What you unit you would mind least playing wihtout when playing competitively? Playing Zerg with Ultras banned .. would be less bad than playing them with any other unit banned so I guess I agree with LowKo about Zerg.
Yeah, the zerg played like i do. Gotta be water. Jump all over the place with tech. Keep the enemy guessing. Push push push.
Was there ever a time when Ultralisks were good? If there was, why were they good? What role did they play?
Joel Gawne bullet sponges... in brood war they had a high attack damage good against armor, but here they have a sweeping claw to counter clumped units. Unfortunately they die too fast to be bullet sponges and two of the biggest clunkers are too fast for it to be aggressive. And marines can just stim away. This forces them to be used more defensively but by then the opponent can easily build air, overwhelming numbers, or siege weaponry to counter. Balancing them is hard because if they get even a slight speed boost they could be overpowered, but numerous damage buffs have had less effect. It’s hard to get them just right. You want them to counter basic bio and later act as meat shields, not unstoppable pain trains that plow through everything. They’re not cavalry and never should be.
soO played the zerg like a Blizzard cinematic
16:45 ... zerg transition to RAVENS and infestors?
Hellbats being repaired wow. Will keep in mind while playing direct strike
That was a nice zurg swarm xD
Cant corrupters puke in the tanks not just buildings? Like isn't it a counter for tanks as an air unit?
