- An insane best-of-5 series of top level StarCraft 2. In this video I cast a series of games that was played in Archon Mode in SC2 with Serral, Reynor, Elazer and Lambo controlling the Zerg, and Clem, Kelazhur, souL and Harstem controlling the Terran. In Archon Mode multiple players can control one base at a time, deviding up the tasks and units to optimise micro and macro.
Harstem's point-of-view (Terran): • ARCHON With Serral, Re...
Lambo's point-of-view (Zerg): • ZvT Archon Pro-Match. ...
ZvT build played on Eternal Empire: • StarCraft 2: Serral's ...

Harstem: Where are my oracles?
Terran players: *sigh... have some banshees.
Game 2: Phoenix go pew pew on overlord.
Game 3: (T team to Z team): We made a liberator, put range on it and told Harstem it was a tempest.
"but we have phoenixes and tempests at home"
phoneixes and tempests at home:
Thank you. These comments made my day
A Warp Prism would be-
_Sigh_ Fine, you can have a medivac
1:03 in fact, it was Clem doing the macro while in his online class, and everyone else spamming the depot. 😂
Harstem: “The Zerg players are probably discussing the best build order, and we got three people playing with the depot. 🤦♂️😂”
This is how top level Starcraft looks like🤣
Harstem: Where are my oracles?
Terran players: *sigh... have some banshees.
@@jckiksass Wow what a great comment.... your not funny especially when you copy an actual funny comment and plagiarize it.
@@jckiksass you copied the top comment... what were you thinking?
You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like.
The "Rock paper scissor" is about who can control the units for Harassment.
Oops! There’s an error in the second and fourth game. Apparently they switched colours in game two and four and I didn’t realise it when editing in the names afterwards. It is indeed Serral, Lambo, Reynor and Elazer playing the Zerg and Clem, souL, Kelazhur and Harsten playing Terran. My bad!
Thanks Lowko!!
Wow that was fun to watch :-). Maybe you could switch a bit to 1 players (if that's possible) view to find out who is doing what, that would be a nice important
Omg the video is in 4K I LOVE YOU
@Tarick's Scoutters He lives in the Netherlands at the moment, so kinda like a European pro player.
Ai ai ai
I want see 4 humans vs alphastar without restrictions (the one with insane hydra-micro)
man that would be super funny
Like a coop game
That would be something as gestalt vs AI!
@@dvnweak5171 It is not funny anymore IF AlphaStar do control Amon's forces!
Crazy idea
It would be amazing. And I think you could ask and submit your idea ;)
I would give him someone to build for him so he can focus on micro.
This is actually a dream come true
ive actually asked for this so many times in the comment section, finally some archon action
My reaction when Lowko said his name two videos in a row.
You literally said the exact same thing on Harstems channel yesterday... Lol
Lowko’s casted a 3 way archon before
“Is the guy still microing the supply depot” -lowko
Bro my supply depo micro is epic
Clem was Trolling Khalazar because he was still watching a teacher's stream for his class...
It was hilarious watching on Harstems channel.
In fact there were three players microing the same one 😂
hhh
That micro on the supply depo was topnotch
Index finger pushups. :D
I highly recommend watching Harstem's POV, the trash talk is hilarious!
That was so fun !
Where can I find it?
@@eulefranz944 lowko post a link to Harstem POV th-cam.com/video/8GPupD6wP_o/w-d-xo.html
lambo's stream is better tbh 😂 a lot of banter and some funny control overriding at times
and yeah I watched both
top notch trash talk. depot micro
I remember watching this on Harstem's channel from his POV...this is amazing and I am really happy you are casting this.
Definitely this!
Haha really enjoyable to hear them ragging on each other.
Tronous117 Rage or casual banter?
@@peterni2234 casual across teams, bit ragey on the zerg side between them haha
Indeed. I really hope Lowko cast the game. Well he actually did it.
Fun fact, in first game everyone typed 'rock', then before clicking enter Harstem deleted it and typed 'paper', that's why his 'paper' was delayed.
You can see on Harstem's channel, it's true
God these marine drops are so insane with these pros microing
If you have watched Harstem's video you know how much they flame each other in those matches.. it's pure gold
We need more of this. This is the best thing to exist.
Go
This match was very fun to watch from Harstem's point of view, you can watch it on his TH-cam channel. One of the games it was pretty hilarious watching one of the best Protoss player's microing just one viking killing map critters.
24:35
You spin me right round, baby, right round, like a record baby right round.
"tumor ez" was referring to the reaper getting the tumor around the 3:30 mark
I would love to see archon mode pros against alpha star.
Restricted alpha star would get stomped.
Unrestricted
@@carbonbeaker409 unrestricted alpha star stomps all humans because it has infinite APM on all units and micros everything simultaneously
@@IR-xy3ij You could still restrict it to something that the pros could actually match. Together they were hitting 2k+ pretty frequently. Know effective APM is gonna be lower but could still probably limit alpha star to something like 1k and have it be a good match.
"I'm controlling here! No, I'm controlling here!"
The two different views of both Lambo and Harstem are really awesome and fun to watch. Would recommend watching it also. The banter/strategy talk between the players is awesome.
Imagine, immortal juggling with 2 prism, on Archon mode
I love how archon takes like an hour to start but it’s so fun to play
This match is hilarious, they're such a big memers.
Serral: plays terran
Me: **visable confusion**
I love these games, where the pros are just having fun. It reminds me of when day9 hosted the After Hours Gaming League.
I love how you can hear how lowkos voice go into fanboy mode a couple times in the vid. Its heart warming that he still gets so excited about this great game.
Harstem: “do you think they were trying ?” Soul :”oh yeah” 😂😂😂😂
Great games! I'd love to see more games like this. Imagine a Protoss game with Zest and Parting in the same team, that would be absurd.
I finally realized, why it is called Archon mode :D Took me a while.
I just finished Subnautica and was thinking "wow what a great game, gonna be hard to match that feeling with whatever I do next" and then I see all-pro Archon, and *then* I see *eight* pro Archon and yeah let's go.
Subnautica is an amazing game indeed
Played Outerwilds yet?
Try Hardcore-Mode in Subnautica, now that you now how to end it.
My last game was only Survival and I died 3 times :(
I got ridiculously excited when I heard "Helllooooooo!!!" You're the best Lowko!
"Unfortunetly" the races are balanced for 1v1 (2 players) - and that includes the how much attention one can put to wichever task.
Maybe mirror matches would be better? - Just imagine 8 player TvT .. still not sure if it would be incredible or terrible :)
Bram Bora
this case alone wouldn't be enough to conclude balance issues. that would downplay the excellent teamwork done by the terran team (see harstem's pov) and would neglect the disarray from the zerg side (see lambo's pov)
Yes, but zerg is generally more demanding of divided attention than any other race, with creep spread, larva injections, early casters, numerous speedy units benefitting from good spreading etc.
@@ineednochannelyoutube5384 Honestly a more standard zerg late game probably would have benefited the most from having 4 players with all those potential spellcasters. The problem is getting to those units when terran's most mirco-able units are going to be the marines they get so early (and aren't really going to want to transition out of).
Also, gl finding 8 pro players from the same race to play a mirror archon match with lol
ive actually asked for this so many times in the comment section, finally some archon action
My first time seeing this game mode. So cool! You did a great job casting it.
Nice seeing a different mode and it´s very interesting. 4th game was very nice; the others quickly ended up before getting exciting for real.
I love how they started roasting each other in the fourth game XD
UNUS ANNUS'
These are gold maaaan. Who would dislike this type of games. Weeee need more!
Serral playing Archon is what I actually wanted for the longest time, thanks so much man for casting this!
Some highlights from that game: Rock Paper Scissors was played for the first harassment group control rights. Not one guy microes supply depot but three! "Pyotr!" "They probably told Elazer to stop losing stuff, that's why they started to play better!" - Harstem.
It's crazy to watch something like this because it makes you realize how much of the meta still is left to figure out and it's almost like looking 10 to 20 years into the future if the balance never changed. Because of the insane micro from the terrans, banelings become much less useful and zergs standard openings become weaker. You had these insane splits and medivak hot pickups. The Terran units are just infinitely more microable at least in the mid and early game, I was kind of hoping to get to see some crazy viper and infestor stuff but we just never got that far unfortunately. Almost feels like the zergs should have done some ravager openings to counter some of the micro tricks. Would love to see an archon meta develop to see what the ultimate game winning comps look like when a player has 2000+ apm.
Thats because the terran race is so good if you can micro properly, in fact in a Terran vs Any other race scenario considering that each part is equally good, terran is most likely to win.
Last night me and my girl were fighting and I used a classic lowko line to make things better I said “we judge others by their actions and ourselves by our intentions”
Yes! I'm so glad you got to cast this match series!
The lighthearted trash talk is the best part
Love how in the first match the best Zerg player in the world is incharge of the creep.
Serral:"I'll be the creep guy"
I watched it twice already, on Harstem and on Lambo channels. Still watching this.
It’s like watching alphastar vs alphastar! One of my favorite series on this channel by far.
am i one of the few people who absolutely wants to see moe of these kinds of games?this was hilarious and entertaining at the same time!
For these Archon matches you need 8 casters.
My sides hurt laughing from that supply depot going up, down, up, down XD
The first person view of Harstem with the TeamSpeak is so funny
I'd love to see a 4v4 Archon mode show match like this to kick off Homestory Cup! They could get some kind of bonus prize money. Or maybe have it as a filler/consolation prize opportunity during the last rounds to give the final contenders a break while their recently defeated rivals entertain the crowd.
Fun fact: serral was only controlling the 3 queen during the hole game in game 1
I hope the players enjoyed doing this because this is fascinating to watch. I would love to see them working out great team strat styles. Doing micro that is mechanically impossible to do for an individual.
Okay.. I mist not be the only one being crazy about this archon gamemode! Is it rare that these pro gamers play these? Cause this is soooo damn awesome and it would be extra fun if Lowko casted more of these cause these are SO GOOD!!!
I like when you highlight games that win using different units. I love Archons
That was nice to watch. Thak you for the Cast Lowko :)
can remember a mode kinda like this back in the day with sc1 multiplayer. me and my buddies would pick different races and then build the bases of each up for a little fun starting from just the one base. main person got that as the starting base and then you'd get one worker of each of the other races picked.
lowko and Harsteem = pure entertainment
24:35 Overlord in the club!
"vroom vroom" sounds way more accurate with a Dutch accent :p
Epic archon mode is an understatement. It could be the start of a new era, hopefully. Hopefully because whoever profit a from this would rather have 4 matches rather then 1. But a team round robin would be truly legendary. In single combat each player battles each other for 2 points a win. And a team match worth 5 point a game.
I love how you sing your intros, thanks for casting
I'm pretty sure that Harstems the one putting down the artwork in the Terrans bases. After watching his games I've come to understand how much Harstem loves to put those down in the beginning of the games
This was actually very fun to watch. Hope you do more of these! :)
40:30 The hellions know there are creep tumors there, so they're attacking the rocks to save a scan.
BaufenBeast lol, imagine requesting a scan to kill tumors and the others said “no”
We want more of archon mode its so fun to watch !
What a great game and fun one to watch! It would be great If you could find and cast more of these games... I am not sure how many would be available... Keep up the good work Lowko!!
Okay, Lowko. Hear me out.
We make a special oversized map, like 30% larger than Simulacrum. The main base gets two bases. Players can mix it however they want. We get 6 players to each team.
Ah I finally understand archon mode. It's like the old team melee/ffa.
The names in the UI look interesting when they are too long, never seen it like that before
bb I’m 90% sure that was edited in
I edited that in. It doesn't look like that in game.
@@LowkoTV that explains the name switching :P
Glory to the great generals of Terran Dominium!... And one random protoss leader... (Kate what a protoss was doing in our army? Are you jokeing !?)-
This is how I imagine Donny Vermilion announcing that victory in UNN xD
I cant belive , thanks lowko u are The sun of my day , with your smile :D - love archon ty Very much
This was amazing to watch!
Harstem's channel has the same game with all the team voice chat on it, it's fkning hilarious and explains why some of the, er, odd moves occur in the game.
Ok, we need to take this to the next level. Make give each team one of each race, and maybe 5 or 6 players? Let them divy things up and actually get some practice in... this could straight up be the future of starcraft. Letting each player focus on their strengths and work together under one commander? This could be some straight up battle school shit from Ender's Game. We need this.
*noticed 3 evo being built
*each player cancels one
This match is too hilarious XD Lowko please do more professional archon matches
just wondering what a mirror matchup of this would look like, or a random vs random, haha lol
So good, wish to see more of pro Archon
That was crazy fun to watch holy moly
i wonder if there would ever be a market for Archon mode competitive.
We NEED more of these awesome games
Ty Lowko keep up the work
Next level SC2: Pro ARCHON mode vs AlphaStar with 1000APM limit
Would pay good money to see this!
Toss OP. They somehow made zerg and terran fight in a brawl while they stood aside and laugh,
Love this, the chatting was the finest
38:55 DID YOU SEE THAT ROCK FORMATION FEEDING ON THE ZERGLING AND BECOMING STRONGER? OMFG
You've got incredible eyesight, wow
@@dand1690 thanks, Dan
The score counter in the final game took the day off!
I love this ! it's like more of Maru's matches
I saw the replay @ Lowko. Fun to first see the game with full overview @ Lowko. Then to see it from Ter side @ Harstem and from Zerg side @ Lambo
man i love these kind of matches. Hope to see more.
especially seeing players having a bit of funny chat in the game, which is not quite what we see often.
Harstem: so what should I do now mates???
other mates: u can be the BIG PICTURE guy
If you can, please get your hands on more archon replays. This was soo much fun to watch :D
Waiting for that sweet Animal Crossing playthrough.
I want to see your fishing pole micro.
The last time i was this early sc2 was paid
This is actually true for me.
Archon mode is fun for the fact that micro can be focused on heavily compared to single player mode.
Most satisfying match I've seen so far. Never seen this mode!!
I want Lowko to stream/record animal crossing now.
Just watched this on their channel. Love to see your commentary on the shenanigans
Harstem was making calls on build order and microing Vikings, drops and trolling his teammates in game 3 when they built 2 liberators instead of Vikings.
It was very fun watching this game from His POV
Loved the other Archon match, these are so much fun, because stuff is always happening. I gotta watch it :D
