17:22 How DARE you rewind the replay to show us something amazingly awesome!😋
Broods damage is a bit different. Broodling as an initial air attack damage which is quite high, but its subsequent broodling attack is by melee attack. Broodling has one of the fastest attack speeds to make up for its fragility. So its the only or one of the only that benefit from two upgrade paths. Air upgrade weapons and ground melee.
This is correct!
@@LowkoTV You sir get an overlord cheers (coffeetime)
Not quite, initial air attack belongs to broodlord
22:23 A missed oportunity for "les Champs-Zerglysées" right there xD Great video and game as always! GG well casted!
22:44 Lowko, that's "Place de l'Etoile" and for the developers of self-driving cars is know as "Turing Test of Self-Driving", because it is pretty much the most complex traffic in the known universe.
8:39 just killed me! I haven't laughed out loud in an empty room like that in a while.
17:43 Lowko, that's because the medivac was moving it from the medivac clump right next to it. But yeah, the first time I saw it.
The Nuke counter, at least in the past, seems to reset and isn't a reliable nuclear strike counter. A good example is in the StarCraft 2: 50+ TACTICAL NUKES! video where the counter resets a few times.
Yeah that's what I thought too, I don't remember the details but something is off about it.
@@LowkoTV Perhaps the nukes have to connect, to count? If they are interrupted it might not count.
@@davidvondoom2853 The counter counts the number of launches not the number of impacts.
Yeah, us french say that the "place de l'étoile" roundabout around the arc de triomphe is the final boss of city driving. If you pass your driving licence here, you can drive anywhere
damn, I counted like half a dozen bad mistakes Cure made and thought he deserved to lose..... but maybe Rag holding down that overlord button too much sealed his fate
I would say the Ghost is the single best spellcaster while Zerg has the most variety of strong spellcasters
Ghost are the best for sure. What other race goes mass (insert spellcaster) to solve all their problems?
@@cambad9900 zerg before 2019 go mass infestor in almost every late game (and that's the reason why infested is been removed), also queen is technically a "spell caster" and zerg tend to make a lot of them to solve all problems
Hi Lowko, I've been following you for a few years. And always TH-cam brings your videos back.
I had never played starcraft (multiplayer), but I really enjoy watching your content.
Thank you so much, and greetings from Chile!!
8:38 reminded me of mowing the lawn lol
Amazing war of attrition game. Thank you for the cast!
Imagine Cure slowly replacing Thor with BC in the late game and 10 of them suddenly jump on the bloodlord😂😂
idk corruptors are so strong against BCs though
neural
I've shared this with time stamp @17:15 for that graphic bug lol
And disrupters have the most powerful spell cast lol
some people have "netflix&chill" i got "Pizza&Starcraft"
Much better! :)
This might be the first time I see Thors winning against Brood Lord and no surprise Thor flank engagements being involved. How did thet happen?
Thank you LowKo for correcting yourself from using a couple to a few when there were 3 helions.
Have a look at the magic roundabout in Swindon, UK. Way worse than the one in France. 5 mini roundabouts around one big on, it's carnage.
Can someone help me out on a thought process? From about 32:00 minutes in the game I was wondering what 8 Vikings do there; obviously I don't know enough about SC2. Late game scenario are vikings a bad call? Or are other units better for the cost in this situation?
ragnarok never had a chance at winning IM katowicz tbh
Serral got unlucky with the ZvZ pairing, basically his only weakness
I wish the Thor air attack animation was more dramatic.
Ragnarok is the only player never behind on supply until 200 even though widow mines exploded massively. Macro god!
lowko turn to zergling 9:01
That rewind was worth 5more seconds I don't care what anyone else says, this shit was cool
What happened to the spawnhosts or whatever made locusts? Haven’t watched in a while and noticed they haven’t been used much.
Swarmhosts only get made whenever Serral fat fingers a couple and sends them straight to their deaths. I usually love that unit, it's so fun to use, but I don't know why pros don't seem use them that much.
@@akiyamach the pros don't use them much because of 2 main factors.
1) supply count, Swarmhosts are super heavy supply wise.
2) cooldown and investment, they have a very strong attack but the locust swarm needs time to recharge and they are totally useless while on cooldown. So to get real value out of Swarmhosts you need to invest extremely heavily into them and be extremely diligent on attack rotation by using only half at a time...plus a nidus network or 3 with many exits all over otherwise they run into the same slow positioning issue Broodlords used to suffer from.
It's a situational unit only usable against mech only Terrans or against Protoss but even then they aren't seen that much.
38:13 the queens shuld hit those brood lords while in a stay state of the late game.. 4-8 queens late game, can support zerg units like repairing as scvs, but its free jsut time oirentated... this gives you back the value of your unit... and there is an hp ammount that you need of.. about 40 hp.. that allow the brood to survive another sniper...
In the first minute you talked about a Serral vs Ragnarok best of 5 match? Can you link to that, or did you do commentary on it? (I hope you did commentary on it, because I prefer listening to you instead of other commentators haha)
"3 helions in total that's a couple", yeah, had an ex that counted like that.
Cure researched Rapid Reignition System? That's interesting. Hellbat drops in the super late game? I'm so curious 😂
I miss the Weekly Lowko Highlights
7 lane roundabout sounds like a nightmare even if it HAS lines 😮
Damn, Ragnarok had so many opportunities and just threw them all.
Not that it really matters but heres my breakdown up to 6 for you lowko.
Couple = 2
Few = 3
Some = 4
Handful = 5
Half dozen = 6
I don't know that the Mutas were a good choice. Maybe if he gets better with them.
I enjoy a long BL game every once in a while. Is it not a thing to send 1 or 2 BL’s to pick off expansions?
Great match. Hard to tell who is winning till the end
Why... is the music the one from Baldur's gate? I'm confused 😅
0:05 It's Royal Blood not Dragonscales
I can never understand why people dont takes 2 or 3 ravens..... them turrets do work. then you can swap the energy used one with the full waiting one and keep it going.
Just for Info, do you have a replay where you played versus Florencio???? xD
I love 1 game video like this, because it will be a very good game. Unlike best of 3/5 video, I have to skip boring game to get to the game feature in the thumblail
What a throw, Rag could have jumped on the terran production..
What's going on with Ragnarok's army value at the end of the game there? o.O
I think Zerg has the best spellcasters, but must use Infesters, Vipers, AND Queens to be effective in the late game. Protoss and Terran can get by with just using 1.
I mean, as a whole, the zerg has the best spellcating force. But the best spellcaster individually is the ghost, and there's no competition.
@@SomeUnsoberIdiotWell, the ghost is Terran’s only reliable spellcaster. It answers the problem where, if there is no ghost, there is no answer.
@@caelestigladii Except in TvT, where the Raven shines. They're bonkers in TvP and TvZ, though.
@@caelestigladii It is a bit sad that they did it that way. One unit to counter them all :)
Lowko MVP!
Cure screwed up and was stingy at the end with not making 3 more ghost academies, so
he could fire of 4 nukes at once. If he did that and also attacked, 1 would most definitely
hit its intended target. Furthermore, anytime you have no harass, you will probably lose
the game. Zerg can bring back their whole army in 1 min. Never allow them a breather.
Very good game
I can't believe that there was even a discussion about the race with the best spellcasters! Zerg LIVES AND DIES by its spellcasters in the late game, and Ragnarok not getting any really good hits in with them is the reason he lost this game.
Also: Thors need the Ultralisk treatment: they need to be made smaller and should move a little faster. Siege tanks should be a bit smaller too. Both of those units derp around too much on these new maps that have VERY claustrophobic corridors. It's a big problem for Terran because they are the only race that doesn't have a good late-game air army.
Edit: "Couple" is literally 2; "few" is more nebulous.
Honeself I think the reason he lost the game was because of those 25 overlords rag made. Literally he was broke the rest of the game after that. I mean we even saw rag take a great trade towards the end of the game and cure just had the money 2 remax and rag just has 20+ovis
@@calebleverich8912 Definitely a massive unforced blunder.
Still, it's obvious that the Thors, which are supposed to counter Brood Lords, DEFINITELY do not counter Brood Lords.
@@Josh-99 I’ve been saying this on lowko’s videos for the last two years. People will swear that they do but you’re almost lost this game because he wasted so much money on thors.
Lowko back again with another banger
Never understood why so many pros forget to target fire so often
LOVE seeing Zerg bugs getting exterminated!!! 🎉🎉🎉
28:33 So... his brood lords hadn't done the work, and your opponent has a transition to thors... So... this is where you look at your bank, and sac the broods and switch into ling bane ot take out the thors quickly...
SO engagin the thor line is nonsense.. I would live 3-5 behind jsut in their view.. and rotate my main brood acorss at taht tiem frame.. and then head north and attack the production of terran... this way when you swap into ling bane when yoru broods die.. you win. Broods power is flying... and the broodlings create a wall. so if you kill the buildings around a ramp that give hieght vision.. you can block any thor form being able to go up the ramp.. its aobut one thor per ramp... and if its blocked by minion it cannot make it to the top.. so attackign the production of etrran with brood lords is way better. yes broods are slightly slower than thors but the routing of brood lords is typically faster, as it doens't have ot walk.. around obstacles.
So... I thin tis a poor form of use.. because aheavy attak the thords would either ocmmit ot a base trade.. or slowly come back... but if they are commting to a base trade.. and woudl win. .that have already won... so..... the most important base is on/ where hte last minerals are.. so build duplicate key structures as zerg whe nthere is 1-3 mineral fields left is important... chaning ones defensive stance.. to some degree..
So if they take off the prodcution and you get the addons.. this creates cost.. forcing your opponent ot spend their bank .
8:45 was like he did great no muta died then I saw him flapping his way to the marines 😢
Cure was a bit lucky here
Nice
OMG Rag could have won the game he had Cure on the ropes but no he kept backing off when he could have went forward and done more damage but no 1 hit and he runs away
I think he should have gone into the main and let the thors go around, then back out again. To kill some production, but maybe 8 (or so) brood lords is just too weak?
I dont know, i thought it was a missed opportunity :)
just got to wondering so looked it up Ragnarok has never won a game vs maru according to liquipedia
I'm triggered by the title and thumbnail. I got destroyed by broods last night. 😔 hahaha
A couple is 2 right?
Yup
unfortunately I don't think I can ever accept that the ghost isn't the best caster unit in the game.
I'll pass on getting scammed today. thanks anyway!
@@HydeTrain320 He got bonked by Lowko,just report them for spam if you see a bot like that
will do. I wasn't sure what to do so I popped into his stream and told him it was happening. I'll make sure to report in future
Long time no see PvT, PvZ, PvP games. What happened to Protoss?
Literally yesterday Patric
Protoss is trash, nobody likes them. :D
WHY DONT THEY USE VIKINS TO KILL BROODS
Maybe because parasitic bombs and lack of air upgrades
Vikings 😢
Are you kidding me? The Terrans have Ghosts... Ghosts can EMP all other spell casters, can cloak, can nuke, and can SNIPE everything that Zerg owns at long range. How does anything Zerg has as spell caster even remotely come close to the Terran Ghost?! Ghosts are used in literally EVERY match up. Their EMPs work against Protoss very well. Their Snipes are insane late game against Zerg. And in TvT Ghosts are also extremely useful on Medivacs for EMP and can kill bio units like nothing with snipes. They also nuke late game endlessly if you're going multiple ghost academies. Never in all of StarCraft history has there ever been a unit as OP and "good in every situation and can be used in every situation" as Ghosts for the terrans in SC II and you guys complain about zerg spell casters? Oooh scary infestor... fungal does 30 damage over time and "slows" your units... oooh big deal... oooh infestor does a shroud that halfs air damage to our units... big deal.... Ravens can disable enemy Tanks and Carriers... Even Protoss can use a REVEAL that reveals a large area of stealth units and make mines that freeze units so they can't move. Zerg has to wait for tier 3 for a unit that does absolutely nothing other than "abduct" a single enemy unit at a time into our army. It does NO damage, it relies on an army of hyralisks or other units to kill what it grabs, and it costs so much energy that it needs to damage our own buildings to get energy. ARE YOU kidding me?!
Zerg could've won... Worse decision ever
Not featuring Dark? Lowko truly fell of
Ghost needs to be nerf
Cool game but man this meta is boring. No one wanna see late game zvt :(
First comment! (?
5th?
First.
I understand the high level of play but boooooring!
Really long and boring game.
You always claim in your videos that thors shred bl's, but all the evidence confirms that thors are trash and bl's shred terran mech. Cure pulled this one out, but he did so because he built an early lead and traded well before bl's and thors took the field-he would have been beaten handily otherwise.
Thors suck. The evidence is in at this point in SC2's life cycle
You are objectively wrong.
That is why cure got stomped in this game right?
Oh.
@@ledrash6079 it’s why he almost lost a game that he built an overwhelming advantage in prior to transitioning to them.
Playing dumb is only cute when you’re a child. Maybe you are one, in which case that’s fine-but you should probably choose another approach if not.
@@SomeUnsoberIdiotno
@@endersgameover I am not sure if you are playing dumb or not. But it was a sarcastic comment since you are wrong in your previous statement.
Thors mostly crush brood lords, everyone knows this. If you don't, then i think you need another approach.
Would it be possible to actually manipulate the command Center to land closer to the minerals or is it just a graphic bug
