Best-of-5 series of pro StarCraft 2 between Reynor and Harstem. This Zerg versus Protoss was recently played during the ESL Masters European Regionals in the Upper Bracket of the tournament. Some of the wildest games of StarCraft 2 that I've recently seen.

Finally, the Harstem gambit, catching one of the best zerg players in the world off guard with a cannon rush and messing up the free win with an artosis pylon

Have not watched SC2 in like 10 years, love that it's still called an Artosis pylon haha

I usually don't comment and I have been on YT for over 10 years now... BUT I HAVE TO comment and tell you LowKo that your videos and casting is an absolute blast to watch to, you are truly doing a phenomenal work and I love every cast you do! Been watching for years now and it's such a joy every-single-time. Keep up the good work and do not let yourself think anything else! Love you man! BONUS suggestion just for you, since you asked for it in a previous video: Instead of saying "putting all eggs in one basket" you can say "concentrating all the resources in one place"

in the 4th game when Harstem was building carriers, Lowko said he is buying time untill carriers arrive. It caught my attention because normally you would say build. I think because the voice line for finishing carrier production is "Carrier has arrived." so Lowko has played so much StarCraft that subconsciously says arrive after carrier. There is a part of the brain which has the color of StarCraft.

I really enjoy the time when a new patch comes out and pros start using unusual strats and units that dont really get seen, like dropperlords or motherships. Really makes the game more engaging then watching the same build orders with the odd wrench thrown in (Cough Cough Dark Cough)

To think that Harstem would've sent Reynor to the loser's bracket if he didn't make that ONE mistake with the cannon rush. Would've been sick

@N0noy1989 6 ай бұрын

If Reynor went to the losers bracket, he would've just lost to Clem earlier. Either bracket, he'd still meet Clem and lose.

5th game, Harstem keeps warping in adepts against roach/ravager, with a few lings. Yea, I guess those adepts did get into mineral lines to kill drones, but continuing to warp adepts in instead of stalkers doesn't seem optimal.

@@LowkoTV Agreed; it makes the big eight-supply units more special that way. It's still kind of spoiled by Ultras being so awful, especially compared to BCs and Carriers; even with their "buff" I think I've only seen one game since the patch where they aren't just a prelude to the Zerg losing. Maybe make them take half damage to snipe and disruptor, and/or let them attack air too (like King Kong swatting planes out of the air; it'd be hilarious!)

@djingiskhan4581 6 ай бұрын

only making 1 spore crawler per base if the enemy makes harassing air units is one of the dumbest brain-fart concepts in SC2. I have never seen a single game where doing that has not ended in loosing more than if you just built 2, with the only exceptions being when the harassing player makes a mistake or a few of them. It's just plain dumb. make two and loose 1 drone for every oracle or make 1 and loose around 3 drones for 0 oracles. Like why on earth would you ever do that? Having two spores also lessens the time and energy you have to put down in thinking about the security of your mineral lines.
