They each won a battle and casually went for the war
After watching this I realized how inhuman Serrel is to be able to control the Zerg a whole lot better in this game.
Same feeling ("a whole lot better /than Scarlett/ in this game")
Although it's a bit rough on Scarlett. I get it, he is the goat. One of the reason is that even us can tell he is so much better than someone who is so much better than us.
Still, I hate you for "writing out loud" what I thought too.
No doubt if I were to meet any of them, I would be fanboying HARD like "it's FUCKING Scarlett" or "it's FUCKING Serral". I love them both. So fuck you ;p
True😊
Lowko, you're doing us Protoss mains a great service showcasing so much Protoss recently.
Alotta protoss losses...
@jeremyduke4938 that's cause toss has to have multiple different types of units. Getting wraps. Hoping to get the opponent to mess up. Zerg just goes zergling and can win with that late game. Toss is so under powered rn.
@@jeremyduke4938I'm just glad to see more Protoss.
It is his way of saying goodbye. The zerg and protos nerfs are coming with the next patch, together with terran buffs.
Yup so much Protoss losses. Game is poorly balanced even after 20 years
Lowko, professional caster: "I can't see my monitor"
"Even numbers are better than odd numbers"
Came for the game, stayed for the Truth
i'd better have one anus than two. just saying.
You are wrong. Team Odd is Number One. And if you're not first, you're last, Team Even.
Truth hurts.
@@doopersooper Depends on what you are prioritizing. If you need a bunch of stuff, even numbers has odd numbers beat all of the time. Because it's one more thing. Sucks to suck.
I disagree. Why 8 is always afraid of 7?
Banger of a series. Thanks for the cast Lowko!
It is a little bittersweet how surprising and thrilling that outcome was given the way most PvZ late-game has seemed to play out for the last 18 months.
Great to see a scarlett cast again!
Thank you for covering much of our tournament all the way up until the end, Lowko!
Amazing work, and more to come!
I swear this is the first time on your channel in a long time where a hypermaxed late game protoss army has taken down that of a zerg or terran.
I made it to the end and enjoyed every minute of it.
Dva: looks like we’re going to the late game!
Morgan freeman: but she had not yet realized how right she was
"Even numbers are better than odd numbers" I very much disagree, all prime numbers but one numbers are odd, and primes are without a doubt the best numbers.
When you do that proxy you have to send a drone from your main to the proxy halfway through it building. You can plant a spine crawler or mine those minerals put faster.
Dman I was supporting for Scarlet, but GG for the Protos!
A skytoss late game winning? It's a thing I don't see often.
Please dont give the results away ! 😢
@@boop129You can also watch the fideo first, then discuss it afterwards. 🤓
It wasn't pure skytoss. The army value was like half air half ground. with archons and high templars. Pure airtoss will never win.
@@boop129please don't read comments before watching the video.
Astrea's use of the crevice to zone scarlet away on the top base is what I think allowed him to win the game. Thats mainly how he got so much value from his tempests imo
I mean yeah, the Sun provides an influx of power to the otherwise nearly-closed system of Earth, allowing for such trivialities as life as we know it. But otherwise, yeah; what has it done? 😂
That was a fun watch. Wow.
I think it would have been extremely interesting if she put spine crawlers just out of visual range of the protos on the low ground in that first game proxy. Would have caused quite a second guess out of Astrea I would thing.
Was kinda cute how you tried to cover up saying "Gold" instead of "Gas" by repeating the same with Dollars :D
Very nice and expected. Good work Astrea!
One more video before bed!
The video:
Very nice transition to "all intents and purposes" 😂👍
"This is essentially an all in" followed by me glancing at timestamp...
Lurker with broodlord can also help protect from archons trying to get on top of the air units
24:16 love your ai ai ai ai ai ai aiii
That weird proxy hatchery on game nuber 3 got 3 revelations out of the oracles wich is a lot of energy that could have been spent on killing lings, so maybe was worth it?
as a spectator in the last game i was feeling scarlet too, like it was desperate situation but man she's such a pro not committing to a fight. I would and lost around 15 minutes before the video ended
mannn really hoped she would commit those lings to counter attack to natural or main, just nibble some structures, that gotta force some of the army back home
Been watching sc2 awhile..scarlet, celebrity status. Followed by serel Maru hero marine dream and the rest of the greats..
When the last game starts and you see the time left on the video.
That moment when you realize your only 15 minutes into a 60+ minute video and the BO3 is already 1-1.
Spoiler alert
Why would you even look at the comments before watching the video the comment is about though@@MrSnow24
Team USA all the way. Just started watching your channel recently and I’ve watched so many videos. Keep it up love the content
Oh wow the second game was a crime scene. Switching back and forth ending in a big clash after sending hitman after hitman, what a game!
What a game!!!
Cool game! Its nice to see some grindy PvZ late game that ends with a protoss win. Looking forward to the tempest turn speed/mothership changes to hopefully spice it up a little.
I'm sorry Lowko... I'm team Odd... I was born into it though
Lowko, why aren’t you the VA for the DVa announcer??
you are awesome lowko, thanks for awesome commencting
Astra is always getting bullied lol
Recently a lot of close Protoss games on Lowko's channel have had the Toss player lack any sort of patience. It was nice to see Astrea be patient at the end of game three. Sure it was slow for the viewer at times but that is how it is supposed to be done. Just take the wins and keep building in that situation. A lot of protoss players seem to be too hasty to jump and try to win when they should solidify their advantage.
I'm so off timing that I'm right in the middle of 8 other timings
44:04 So what you’re saying is… it’s all about that base?
pretty much
Sun is essential for photosynthesis, duh!
I thought this was a Bo5 based on the video length
If a professional protoss player throws their whole army against the enemy and works is that called a "Pro Protoss Toss"?
RIP Brenda

One strategic mistake cost Scarlett a series.
Who else checked the replay time remaining when the final game started?
You have to be odd if you want to be Number 1!
"Lost 600 hundred minerals including the mining time"...
Hatchery (300) + 3 overlords (300) + queen (100?) + several zerlings and drones + mining time.
I would say that it was well over 1000 resources lost versus a few adepts, and still she had a massive advantage...
i feel like they should improve the zerg late game units, take away power from their casters and most importantly, QoL to the vipers
but i dont play anymore, i just watch pro games
In game 3 it was pretty obvious that it was going to be airtoss win. As 1/3 zerg myself hahaha (stolen from winter) this hurts.
Wombo combo!!
23:35
you can't be number 1 if you are team even
How is Scarlett this consistent with her creep spread?? If serral was able to creep like this he'd be unstoppable lol.
If no viper in the mix then protoss can win.
If no high templar in the mix protoss will lose.
While being a USA guy myself i should by default cheer for Astrea, however i cant help but cheer for Scarlet and hope this is a win for her.
Well so much for that... woo USA but BOOOO yet another Scarlet loss...
great game, kinda sad scarlett didnt win in the end tho
Team astrea. Kek.
lol get rekt
Scarlett was doing so well until she just seemed to give up in the last game. The final 20-30 minutes she just kept getting shot without trying to hit back. Very frustrating, especially when Astrea screwed up twice on recalls and Scarlett could have jumped half the army with her whole force. So many opportunities to use the Vipers were just missed while Astrea's air artillery killed more and more zerg.
Yeah, I know, it's harder playing than watching, but the passivity of Scarlett at the end was awful! I was rooting for her to attack, but she just kept falling back, loosing more and more units.
Why didn't she put a couple of Spines there? That would've been amazing!
Did she forget Adrenal Glands in the 3rd game?
Game 3 was a little painful. Protoss loses all map control at 24:00 and Zerg could easily have taken every expansion in the map. The game should have been over at that point, but instead we get 40 more minutes of turtling.
I wonder why Scarlett did not magicbox her corruptors. That would have neglected so much of the splash damage. The last fight was really awful.
Also, she was not active enough with her Vipers when she still had some.
Make zealot charge automatic ...
What?
It is on auto cast by default
@@LowkoTV I mean should come standard automatically , you shouldn't have to upgrade . Speed kills protoss early
@@july9566 they did have that briefly in past balance patch if I recall, it was op in the early game, and reverted.
Plus, if you're using ht, slow Zealot's don't charge into storm as much.
Finally a protoss match. Tired of ZVT or TVT. Also, someone beat Serral already.
Literally the video posted before this one is a Protoss match
@@LowkoTV dw, we still love you m8 :*
@50:36 you disagree with Scarlett attacking a base, but you know... someone had to do something, the game was in a stalemate. One side had to blink first. So I disagree that Scarlett made a mistake. She did it fairly safely with Broodlord's. Yeah she lost her base in the meantime as well, but what was she supposed to do? wait it out? The combats were going her way in the past, she was probably thinking she was going to force Astrea to commit, not to attack her own mining base, because in the past he seemed quite reactionary to what she was doing.
Let’s be honest. Astrea has the same weakness most sc2 players have. Dominant pretty women
yikes!!
sIay kwin
Question for everyone , I’m a noob in StarCraft 2, would a generalized Strategy of 3 base all in turtle Terran win most games ? Just long hold and drain out the enemy’s economy and slowly push ? Terran has the strongest long game units right ?
The problem with a strategy like that is that you allow your opponent to expand freely if you don't put any pressure on them. This, combined with the fact the other two races can generally expand faster than Terran can, means that you die before you ever reach late game
Well, everything can and will work on beginner level, but short answer, no. Your entire win condition is to hope your opponet slams his head against your wall, until he has no longer the minerals to defend against your superior tech. But since you give him freely all bases besides your three (also known as giving up map control), he has way more than enough minerals that it's gonna be you who is bleed dry. Especially against Zerg, who is naturally way better at snowballing their economy than Terran. Don't matter if he loses twice as many units, if he has 3 times as many ressources as you do.
What excatly do you mean by long game unit?
@@scattyork4176 but with Terran , If slow push with siege tanks and marines mid game that’s very hard to stop right ?
@@babuturtlereal but you’d say mid to late game , the siege tank /marine / medevac combo is deadly right ?
@@bellofigoitaliano5038 only if you pressure the enemy with them. If you just sit at home, then the entire map is given to your opponent without any risk to them
PLEASE learn the difference between effective and efficient and use these terms corrctly, Lowko.
You got a lot of folks listening to you, so you also kind of have an educational misson.
Otherwise... great entertainment of course! ;)
Wins like these won't change the fact that Protoss never wins when it matters because the Zerg and Terran players always whine louder ):
Protoss wins and still wah.
This was an awesome series
...shame this is the most toxic I've ever seen a Lowko comment section lol
It's only toxic because some can't accept facts, science, biology, and truth over delusion, cancel culture, depression, and wokeness
@@_CatBug_ the hole you dug yourself into must lead to alternate realities judging by the lack of gravity in it. How can a human lack the sense to know when to stop and have a good look back at the past? Their actions? All that is left is entropy. Chaos.
@@RawmanFilm there is no hole dug. I live in reality whereas certain people live in make believe world's to escape their own pain. Go to therapy.
@@_CatBug_ Its only toxic because nasty people feel the need to belittle others about issues that have nothing to do with them. Conservatives are toxic.
I like Scarlett, and I love watching his games. That doesn't mean I need to engage with his silliness, nor that I have anything against him.
Calling it "toxic" to not engage in nonsense is, well.. ironic.
first?
Pfffff - just GO FOR IT. It's a game, stop lying around. The win criteria is destroy the buildings, so do that. Stop just sitting there. If you lose, you lose. What's the point of just sitting around? Pointless.
These games look like 5k mmr ranked games on EU servers.
Astrea’s 6.2k MMR on the Korean server right now…
I only clicked like because of the comment at the end. I hate the outcome!
From a perspective of watching and never playing... Zerg is annoying/boring cause the viper is a free steal 1 unit guaranteed kill specially on massive and large ships.
Basically goes like: Oh you're running (input unit) let me use my 3-5 vipers and steal these 3-5 (input unit) and instantly remove them... Now that your army is weaker by losing (input unit) my death ball of (Zerg unit) will now crowd onto yours with advantage
actually true
Whoa, what a Surprise, they show a game where Scarlett loses. You guys haven't shown a win for her in about a year.
@@ScarletSelektaalways gotta be one wannabe edge lord out there ;)
@@nicklindberg90anyone who uses the term "wannabe edge lord" needs to have their 4chan privileges revoked.
@@WhiskArlington 🤡🤡🤡
LowKo eats a COUPLE of boogers for breakfast 😜
The last game looks so fake.
What do you mean?
@@TrixterTheFemboyI don't know. I thought Scarlet could win, but she just let it go and never fight back.
Nothing beats 2 dudes playing some starcraft
Scarlett is a guy. He's a male.
nope.. she is female..
He is him 😂
@@Malossianoplus He has XY-chromosomes, has a dick and spent most of his life living as a boy. Case closed.
Fuck outta here. Trans women are women.
Nope, Scarlett's a woman.
