I was pleasantly surprised to see the name Leenock. Turns out he had just finished his service too and made his return. Comment on delaying military service and stuff: Most "typical" Korean men prefer serving early, ranging, on average, from college freshman to sophomore years, so that it doesn't get in the way of job searching later on. Professional sports players, if they obtain major accomplishments like Olympic medals, can get exemptions. E-sports obviously is not yet recognized in such major international sporting events, so most pro players nowadays choose to delay at least a couple times. A select few older generation Starcraft players had the opportunity to keep playing while serving by joining Air Force ACE, but that's about it, and that still wasn't an exemption.
As a person who played WoL (yeah, boomer confessions) and kinda stopped playing SC2 for a while and returned to it recently, I was really surprised and delighted to see those names
Okay an overlord as a pylon to proxy zerg structures was NOT something that I've ever thought and didn't even think to think of. That's awesome. It makes so much sense too 😂 Hope we see more of that cuz that could lead to some awesome games.
These ZvZ openings were very similar to common builds in Wings of Liberty. If someone built a 2nd hatch before pool, I automatically started a spine in their second and ling flooded them. If I tried to build a 2nd hatch before pool and they went pool first, it was almost always game over. And I couldn't quite scout early enough to safely go 2nd hatch before pool. Although sometimes you could try 2nd hatch before pool, start a spine crawler, and if safe, cancel it before completion.
Lowko, your vids are the best. I watched you a couple of years ago, and then started again recently. Love the sense of humor and info about the pros :) :)
soO is going to be like "I am going to pull a quickies, just cover me in the next 10 minutes" , his service comrade be like "no worries, we gotcha". THen he took his laptop to the bathroom and play a ladder game. "gonna be aggressive now"
It's also interesting that Korean Zerg and European Zergs have different playstyles. I recall a zoun vs serral where zoun absolutely messed it up because he misunderstood what serral was doing. I think lambo was one of the casters there so he explained why zoun played that way because Korean zergs have a different way of playing.
i Gotta say lowko, the advantage of not seeing the 3rd base with an overlord is he doesnt really care about that, becouse he wont know how many drones will be there and the overlord is only there to cover the pathway to be able to count lings..
Many Koreans do their national service as a KATUSA. The pay sucks but you are treated like a regular US soldier which means you get off time and are billeted in the barracks with the US soldiers. This means if they have a computer, they can bring it with them or if they have a roommate who is a US soldier, they can use theirs.
Serral practices against AI using the Arcade, he practices on 4x to 8x speed over and over, that's why he has so much good control in normal because to him it's slow giving him much more time to be decisive and commit to macro or micro decisions 😉
I'm sorry lowko but platinum league now is gold league from when the game had all its payers. Mostly because of the removal of bronze league (technically it still exists but now only 1% of players are in it vs 20% back in the day) it might be true that pro players are better in both raw skill, apm and builds but bellow diamond it's a shit show
Jus got covid vaccine was watching aa it came out but as I watched my arm froze with stiffness it’s kinda like dislocated shoulder minus pain Get vaccinated stay safe
I don't like watching cheese. It lacks any sort of impressive skill besides maybe on the defender's side. Leenock looks like the zerg ripoff of MaxPax. Plays with no longevity in mind whatsoever. Either they win within 5 minutes or they lose.
Lowko cracking me up with the "Can't pay for groceries with Starcraft passion"
4:20, zergling got anti air for a quick second
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can see a spine crawler as an amusement park ride. I expect royalties from blizzard when they eventually make a 'blizzworld'
"Leenock is not a protoss player, so he doesn't know how to make walls." I don't know why that struck me as Lowko hurling shade but it did.
By contrast, the Protoss race does not know how to make doors. Maybe Amon was on to something...
Any thoughts on window installation?
Zerg players would be offended if they could understand speech
My favorite comment ever, becouse as a protoss player building placement is super important and zergs are like mehh

Leenock! I missed his exciting zerg play
actually cracked me up when you said "so i can at least put mid roll ads" immediately gets a ad
If it wasn't for that ONE ravager this coulda passed for a WOL series
Starting with 12 drones kinda gave it away too ;)
Lowko really is lost with time, he first thought it was Christmas.
When i first saw the length of this video, the last thing i expected was to see a BO3 go to the 3rd match. lol.
that's the most insane proxy spire I've seen lol. haven't seen that one before.

Leenock vs DRG.. holy crap thats a matchup i havent seen in ages :D Nice Job covering that my man!
This 18:42 was such a beautiful moment! Lowko's reaction was perfect!

I have never noticed that the spine crawlers just yoink zerglings across the map when thay die
4:20 poor ling got yeeted to the sky
LowKo you're awesome man, please keep the Sc2 casting coming, I love it!
What year is it Lowko is only using one arrow?
Time passes so fast, i still remember when leenock played on team fou. Decade has passed since then...
Lowko's sass is unfettered in this cast. I approve
Lowko, your vids are the best. I watched you a couple of years ago, and then started again recently. Love the sense of humor and info about the pros :) :)
This is my first time knowing Leenock,and its becoming my fav fast haha
Same
As Lowko said adds I got one lol
I went back and rewatched the ad just for you lowko :)
Lowko is perfectly imperfect.
soO is going to be like "I am going to pull a quickies, just cover me in the next 10 minutes" , his service comrade be like "no worries, we gotcha". THen he took his laptop to the bathroom and play a ladder game. "gonna be aggressive now"
Very reminiscent of WoL-era ZvZ, felt like I had gone back in time! Great series.
Leenock may not know how to make walls, but does he know how to make doors?
This is the type of Zerg I remember playing against every single game lol
Did you really go look at some random queen kill instead of the gangling micro?... @14:00 ? God...
I love DRG games!! So cool to have one of the greats from the beginning still with us! I miss TLO and Whitera. Also MMA. Not Stephano.
its nice seeing old school sc
Feels like it's so rare to see a Korean Zerg player. It's either Serral, Reynor, Lambo, or Scarlett. So nice to see how they play.
It's also interesting that Korean Zerg and European Zergs have different playstyles. I recall a zoun vs serral where zoun absolutely messed it up because he misunderstood what serral was doing. I think lambo was one of the casters there so he explained why zoun played that way because Korean zergs have a different way of playing.
Dark? He's pretty amazing
Although my personal favourite is still Bly
They play a lot, but sadly not a lot of Korean events release replay packs so I can’t cast them as often.
i'm telling you lowko you upload a cheese video I click, simple as that
That crisp 2K
Amazing
Alright, some latenight Lowko shenanigans, just what I needed. 😎
Too bad Leenock retreated his lings right across his hidden structure...that was a slipup
4:20 Yoink
Love you lowko keep makin sc2 vids :)
5:49 if i see Carrier´s
i didn't even know you did midroll ads, premium is so worth it
Haven't watched the vidya yet, but by the title, imma guess they tried to out-oldschool each other. Which sounds awesome!
Jokes on you about mid-roll ads. I have premium.
last time I was this early I spotted the 12 pool

13:56
4:20 spine cloler be like: yeet the ling
Oh my god! LEENOCK!
They are well oiled machines that have been through thousands of simulations.. incapable of error. Human? I think not.

Great! Never liked ZvZ, but this one is quite funny

Anyone ever noticed that banelings look like they're wearing pilot goggles?
The cast was a little blurry so either I need glasses or something was wrong with the cast.
its SC1 famous style the ZERG RUSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH hahahahahahaha
Eh Lowko, I bet ya didn't know anything about the SPIRE OUTTA NOWHERE meta??
Roll all the ads you want. Adblock's got my back.
Lowko how dare you have midroll adds! We all know that you're sustained off of the pure cheese that protoss players are always using.
ZvZ is always good to watch, boom boom splat!
Yay, I love ZvZ.
especially with some players i have not seen in a while
I exclusively eat on Starcraft Passion™ bucks
Lowko how do you I get access to professional starcraft2 matches
"Leenock is not a protoss player, so he doesn't know how to make walls." He can only make doors. Not a protoss.
Lowko I never get adds on you vids. How come I thought u had them deactivated :D
"Helloooooo ewryoooone ..."
I'm a simple man. I see arrows. I click
Leenock? I actually spent about 300 hours watching starcraft but never heard about him.
Harstem talks all the time in sc2day about some epic games, and Lowko still isn't casting any of them :(
Challenge: find a match where Zerg wins by playing super defensively.
Look up serral
Check out the channel Jacob, there are lots of those!
Is this mean lowko also cant make full wall?
I’ve never been this early
Non other than..... ever so slightly....
2020 platinum could not win code S GSL 2011. The players were not that bad. Even a master wouldn't cut it, it would have to be GM (or GM-ish master)
Top 10
Nooooo i hate watching ZvZ but i love lowko casting
Nice
First game seemed like maybe a premature GG?
A little, yeah.
Who is Leenock?
Ok lowko these thumbnails are getting out of hand... 1 whole arrow?
Leenock is bak!!!!1111
proxy spire... thats prolly rare..
Lowko can't play ZvZ maybe this is the key.
European players couldn't even handle rushing... just from watching your vids..
Starcraft passion should be in the crypto market
What if drg hid 1 mutalisk and killed him
1 muta does nothing
Mid roll ads are gone let me talk... ads happen...
700 apm spikes lol
Oh noooo... The spire..... Oh noooooooo........
Lowko read me on stream
Comentario random en español aparece! Te amo lowko
Creí que era el único... Una agradable sorpresa.

rekt
Less goooo
3RD
Jus got covid vaccine was watching aa it came out but as I watched my arm froze with stiffness it’s kinda like dislocated shoulder minus pain
Get vaccinated stay safe
Is it just me, or was that rather boring? I guess I prefer a more macro focused game.
