You know you're addicted to SC2 when the video right below this says "Deadly fungus that controls your brain" and your first thought is "Fungal *and* neural parasite in one spell? Seems OP."
28:13 this marauder has a story to tell
"I WAS HERE ! Guarding the main base against dozens of zergs ! And they all flee ! They kney what they were going to get from me !"
“No shit there I was…”
4:10 I feel like this kinda flew under the radar, but Maru's cyclone play here is so clean. Gets the overlord with taking a single hit on the cyclone, and the moment it falls, Reynor's whole push has to back off. The ravagers are just near useless at sieging up this ramp now, so he's got no way to deal with that bunker, AND he has to give way to the siege tank when it comes out.
Nah this doesn't go under the radar. This happens everyday in ladder, but the difference is that we can never get the overlord snipe. So it's not under the radar, it's just what to expect from pro players.
what so hard? just click the overloard
@@alfriesmacdonalds5879 what's so hard? You can't even spell overlord correctly lol. So yes, it is difficult with everything going on.
@@DarksCards maybe if you are a noob lol
@@alfriesmacdonalds5879 so you're a noob? That's why you can't spell overlord correctly? Maybe get better at the game instead of wasting your time here lol
This terran guy just won´t die, amazing!
I appreciate you explaining some of the tactics and small things that the professional players are doing. Thank you for your commentary ❤️
"Honestly, I'm not planning to attack even once. So come prepared to play late-game."
It impresses me how patient Maru is with using his resources, a lot of people would just dump all their money on bio units but he doesn't seem to try to spend all of it.
Impression how he make 200 limit of the most op unit - GHOST
@@oza_lup Lmao themost Op unit is the queens, good tanking, good dps + very decent healing.
Ghost have a oblivious flaw they can be easily exploitable. Week to bane stuff, infestor mc to ump all the ghost etc.
@@soligaming5729 queens are absolutely useless outside of creep EVEN if you get lucky enought to get them out
but not only will ghosts tank a bane by themselves, their "weakness" is to get a spellcaster, mind control another GHOST and then micro that unit
so their only weakness is ghosts.... to get rid of their energy
@@jesusbarrera6916 Creep spreed is not the difficult thing to do for Zerg
Incredible game.
I feel not getting on the production was a mistake but I'm sure that thinking clearly is difficult when your heart-rate is jacked and you're controlling several groups at once.
I like that Maru rarely, if ever, gives up 👍😃
Its about positioning - Maru's army is superior so if Reynor goes into the main he gets trapped in there and loses it.
@@hivetech4903 I appreciate what you're saying but I wasn't really talking about at the end of the game where you are absolutely right in what you're saying.
At 24:48 in particular, Reynor had the better army and almost 60 supply advantage. I think that might have been the time to go for the production.
I just felt that throughout the match Reynor sacrificed his army many times to stop the mining bases which is what Zerg does but I couldn't help thinking it might have been better to have sacrificed at least one of those armies on the production,.
Relocating a command center and transferring scv's take so much less effort and time than having to rebuild your entire production line.
I know it won't always work but I felt in this game it was the key to allowing Maru to stay in the game and eventually pull off a brilliant comeback and win.
Of course it's much easier for us the viewer to spot things like this, when we have full vision and are probably at a much lower heart-rate and stress level than these pros in a close game like this 😄
Regardless, it was a fantastic game and great entertainment.
And thanks for your point of view on it 😀
@@Arkeli5 To add more, Raynor did poor job in splitting his unit at that point in preventing harassment of his bases. He could had won if he went swarmhost at that point. In such games, cost efficiency becomes the king and allowing zerg just to sit back and spread creep while waiting for terran would be a massive advantage for Raynor.
"They are the Terran elite,

nuked their own base."
I haven't played starcraft in years but it seems as though you can click on the things and hit the buttons.
"Slow as molasses, the invasion presses on!"
Fuck now i want a full sabaton cover!
“Into the swarms land the Terran army march”
@@mastercoolguy2809 "First in the line of fungal, first into hostile creep, ghosts leading the way.." We can do this folks. We can make this song.
I did not expect this outcome, I thought the winner of this match would lose. It seemed he was on the losing edge for the most part of the game, but he won in the end, I have no idea how he did it. GG
That is some insane high level unyielding Starcraft 2 skill from both players. How they can play like that is just awesome.
thx lowko for casting , I really love watch sc2 while lowko casting ,lol make me snooze pretty well after 10 minutes ..then continue watch morning when wake up
Maru's play was beautiful to watch. Especially how he held two positions across the map for so long against Zerg. Even took command of the last minerals, forcing Reynor into a final push. Little did he know he was pushing into pre split marines, a PF, and well placed siege tanks. Amazing.
Reynor knew exactly, but there's nothing zerg can do in these situations. Lategame ZvT nowadays is the Terrans game to lose every single time. If they make mistakes, they might lose, if not, zerg can't win.
Now that the Italian Stallion got slammed in this matchup, you may start fangirling A LOT.
Rainy afternoon here , waiting for this upload! Thanks lowko!
So hot here today! Thanks for watching
as Zerg this game is PAINFUL to watch
As a terran. It was pure joy
How? That map is complete B.S. for Terran lol
man, zerg had them for the first half and half of the second half. terran pulled a rabbit out of a hive.
@@10manan as a Zerg/Terran in the past, now as an observer top tier games like this are pure joy for me as well
Best game I've watch this year. Reynor almost had it!
I love Raynor. He’s growing on me as my favorite Zerg. Still love Scarlett, Dark and Rogue though. Serral obviously is the goat
I like Lambo.
@@Metalfredo82 He’s great too! As a Zerg I love his guides
I need a herO...
I like Raynor as a protoss or terran, zerg is so basic xD
Ha, Gayyyy!
lol when ever i find myself spotting some sort of big SC event and kind of get back into watching it i come to your channel right away as your commentary is at the very tippy top for me!
You know what...... high lvl Starcraft is just a feast for the eyes :)
LOWKO QUOTES SABATON TIS A GLORIOUS DAY TO BE HAD!!!
That was the best game on Berlingrad I've ever see. holy moly
7:08 reynor did the same error as a previous match id remember but ik that he canceled the hatchery and rebuild it instantly and then he did lose it
I like that
"You are constantly harrasing me with lings? Ok, fuck you, helbats go brrr"
Lowko just making my day by starting up Primo Voctoria. Gotta love Sabaton.
I think it's funny that other e-sports exist when people could just watch SC2. LOL! For real such a delight to think that we still see players at this level. Thanks for the great casts Lowko.
Terran was about to lose, their numbers were few, bases were burning, they were cut off and surrounded by monsters. But in that desperate moments, 28:43 some badass marines decided to hijack a medivac and went to unguarded Zerg base to the south, which turns out to be one of the last remaining mining base of the Zerg, ergo crippling the Zerg economy which leads to their doom. These 8 marines and medivac pilot are the real heroes on this battle...
Love this makes me wanna play starcraft
Really? I watched this game and instantly remembered why I quit. Zero reason you should have to kill 8 Terran bases to win a game while he can kill one and win as Maru did in this game.
@@Konranjyoutai well, you have to admit Maru isn't normal. Not every Terran you'll meet in the ladder has insane ghost micro.
@@Konranjyoutai If you play TvZ at any point, you know that you want to kill the Terran PRODUCTION, not their Mining.
@@lordlopikong6940 Uh...yes they do considered rapid fire is a thing now. All you have to do is hold down a button and wave your mouse across the enemy units and it auto snipes for you.
Maru may be the closest thing we have to a real world Ender Wiggin.
Next he needs to be put in command of a E-sports team full of launchies and rejects and turn them into champions :)
its like watching two massive bears slapping each other
I grabbed my phone went to bathroom after game ended I stand up and said wtf am I doing here!😲 watching this I was under stress you know 😵💫 this made me forget where I am 😐 thank you for the unique experience 👀
what a roller coaster ride of a match
Got my Gossner's Root Beer milk and Dominoes Pizza and I'm ready to watch a fantastic Lowko video!
*wasn't disappointed*
BRUTAL AND EPIC WAR....
Maybe some baneling drops in mineral lines later in the game could have helped Reynor. Maru didn't have any turrets up in his mineral lines at later bases. Then again, I'm plat so yeah.
I could tell from the beginning, Raynor was ignoring seige tanks, over extending, not rushing in when supposed to. Of course easy to see from my vantage point, just pointing it out. Raynor wasn't on top of his game unfortunately 😕
I remember watching this live and it was very cool when it was the first time. But then when every game in the series lasted 40 minutes I was a bit fed up tbh. Can't imagine how it feels to be playing this.
This game was incredly insane.
nothing more satisfying than watching zerg loose a TVZ
N9thing more boring than that
I know I'm late to the party, but *damn, that ultra scythe* nearly pierced the subscribe button. :D
I did not see that outcome happening. Love your casting lowko!
That was just an amazing game!!!
Btw nice colors of players!
skipped to 1 minute to see the bottom info bar this time :o i want it straight away ! ! :D
I’ve always rooted for Terran because Zerg just feels like the bad guy but I’ve fallen in love with Reynors Protoss especially after his series against Solar. I’ve never felt like ghosts were unfair, I always thought they were just barely powerful enough to deal with the “OP” units of Zerg like brood lords. I realized how biased my opinion was today well watching Reynors Ultralisks get popped like balloons and thinking “this is so unfair. Ghosts are way too good”😂😂
Keep in.mind there is only 1 terran I'm the world that can use them like that. Reynor would probably have beaten anyone else, who was playing the Maru style.
Thanks!
This is exactly what Terran players always does, grind down and especially Maru ::D
I don't get why nobody uses Hellbats. To the point that when Maru researches the upgrade for them, Lowko says that it's definitely a mistake. Why so? All professional Zerg players always have seas of Zerglings and Banelings. And Hellbats should be good against those. They even count as biological, so Medivacs will heal them. And they don't cost any gas. Unless you need to have lots of anti air, or unless Zerg goes mass Roaches and Ultralisks, they should be effective.
no. i think Raynor was slightly up all the time after he managed to catch up from being behind one base. and he still was all the time, even though his pushes were costly, until he neglected to send some lings to protect the south bases and then didn't take the north for so long and the failed to prevent maru from taking that, he could have surrounded it before the planetary was up.
This one was a blast to watch 🤌
ngl i wouldve loved a nydus in the main, maybe thats what reynor needed to cause more havoc
Or baneling drops on those later game mineral lines that had no turrets. But yeah, a nydus in the main with a bunch of lings would have allowed him to secure the 12 o'clock base.
Didn't know my man is a Sabaton fan!!🤘
I think that I've seen this match before
Amazing game! Thanks Lowko
imagine if reynor built a nydus and popped it into marus main, after the first failed attempt to break into it.
The problem with SC2 is you have no time to think just act, that is why vs plays on higher speed
Omg i really thought why is he staying and not give up. It is very close to desperate.
sc2 pros are just soooooooo good. Absolutly impressive.
Wow, it really didn't look like Maru was going to be able to come back by the midpoint of the game. Absolutely incredible play!
Yes +3 blue flame hellbats one shot zerglings. Hes been doing this for quite a while now.
Did Reynor forget his 3rd melee attack upgrade?
I'm no expert at SC2, but blue flame hellbats with +3 attack one-shot maxed out lings and banes so it makes sense to use them at this point of the game.
11:23 Yes Lowko. Now You are designated as femboy for crime of simping to Maru. :P
I hope you can manage to cast more recent games
Epic this is so Epic!
6:23 wait, what? Reynor isn't playing Toss lol
Why did Maru scan his own base at 6:20?
Only thing I can think of is to check the high ground for an overlord?
@@TheSorrowWithinMe He already had the high ground, likely a misclick. Or maybe thought he saw a burrowed roach although that's a weird timing.
Seems kinda crazy that the best counter for zerg against ghosts is to use a ghost
thanks
That was sooo epic💪
Game of the year hands down.
In an alternate universe raynor pulls the trigger here 32:47 and wins the game
I've seen players tech blue flame vs life a long time ago so i dont remember which terrans did.
great game
Why did Raynor leave +3 Melee Attack ?
I think he either forgot or thought he could close out the game if he spent gas elsewhere. A shame as LBU all get a big boost from attack upgrades. This and not making enough counters for the Medivacs really hurt him. Well played but Maru played better IMO.
Incredible game!
Yes, late game hellbats..for the inevitable overlord spam.
I didn't think that I'd learn facts about Bill Gates from watching Lowko cast SCII... but here we are!
4:19 kills me when structures live with like 1 HP 🙄
Blue flame OP
These match ups tear me apart. I love zerg. Horrible at it. But I live for the swarm. Terran I’m better at so I play it to at least win. Maru. My favorite Terran. Reynor my favorite zerg since soul doesn’t play anymore that I’ve seen.
Lowko, did you have a protoss guide vid? Im relatively new so I want some expert opinions on playing Protoss.
Wow Maru!
11/10 BANGER!!
GG Maru Interesting game Reynor
Most Epic game ever.
Er mom
Epic game
Not a Starcraft player but once again I fail to understand why players aren't doing more to focus down the Medivacs. Like how many Mutas would it take to snipe them off with 2 or so volleys? if affordable mid game wouldn't it make sense to have them on standby with the sole goal of picking off retreating medivacs? or alternatively for circling around shooting them down from behind mid battle.
neat
I can’t undestand why zerg don’t try to break into the production line. And the end the mineral line and the production line was to far between then. A nidus into the main base or a full attack to the main base would had a better resolution for the zerg
Because the issue he would run into is Mari would just March his army into Zerg creating a base race which will always be a win for Terran pretty much. Or even if he did he doesn’t have a lot of air and all of those buildings would simply lift off. Leaving Zerg losing his base or getting a sandwiched inside the main of terran
Lowko dunno if you know but maru has been playing really slowly and defensively because his wrists have been hurting quite badly
so epic
@lowkotv sick game. is there a way to show income/min with your hud settings? i think its an interresting stat to see in any match and this one particularly
Why zergs dont mix in some infestors (to catch terran army with fungal). It seems that 90% of battles that went in favor of Maru are just because he is running away from ultras/lings/banes. And also wouldnt Ultra/Muta/ling be maybe a good chasing combo (instead of banes)?
Lowko, I rly love your coment. Thx for your job. HF GL
love it
Ghost too op, Raynor was rolling over in the last fight until ghosts regroup
Srsly, Maru was 2 bases behind and lost close to 30 scvs AND 3 bases while being 2 bases behind and still comes back to win? Joke race is a joke.
Nope... Reynor just played worse. Not bothering to get +3 melee which makes a huge difference for LBU, also that comp only works with a lot of Vipers or Corruptors to counter medivacs. Yes Ghosts can EMP/Snipe them but you still have to make them in numbers to force energy spend.
It was pretty obvious in the mid-game before Ghosts who was playing better on the day.
It was Rotschild how bought the neibourhood
how did maru NOT die?!!!!!!!!! those ultras were cleaning house and leaving bills.
Vipers keeping maru in the game?
I see raynor
I click
What tournament was this from?
Giving a like for the Sabaton reference.
