Welcome back to learning with Lowko (educational series) 1. Most terran units don't report burrowed zerg because they don't want to get fired at for wasting a scan. 2. Nukes rely on the ghost's laster mainly as a safety precaution against hacking. 3. The raven is a lie. 4. The nydus worm's butt has a built-in back door. 5. A concave of spore crawlers out in stores near you now! Until we meet again...

At 54:50 Dark makes a genius move: when pulling back the roaches after seeing the siege tank, he splits off the two near death roaches and sends them home on a suboptimal route, because he knows the banshee will intercept the roach cluster and would target them.

@user-kg8bc6vq7v 4 ай бұрын

I mean, it's not exactly genius, it's quiet easy to think of. What's impressive is that he had time to think about it while casually clicking like 400 apm and actively thinking of the strategy for a really obscure game. I guess it's just an impressive experience in the matchup

at 27:08 the EMP did hit the Infestor. EMPs have a limit to the energy and shield damage they deal at 100 damage to shields/energy. The Infestor went from full 200 energy to 100 energy when the EMP hit, but it did hit. This means that EMP is still very effective against casters, but does not completely negate them in a single shot, unless they were already at half energy or less. Also, the Terran Conglomerate? Ahahaha, The Kel-Morian Combine!

In the first game Dark was actually getting more efficient trades in terms of gas. So the stolen gas was a bonus, but not the winning move neccessarily. Very impressive

@user-kg8bc6vq7v 4 ай бұрын

it was with how the last fight went. This 1,5k gas difference would result in like 10 more ghosts and almost no reinforcement for Dark, so that would be way closer

@SaltpeterTaffy 4 ай бұрын

Long games like game 1 are demonstrations of why the pros at the very top are on another level from pros like Bunny. Dark was winning for over a half hour, and it wasn't even a question. Dark closed Bunny's windows of opportunity so fast he made it look effortless. Edit: And yet... *facepalm*

Introduce CEP for cancelled nukes and have them land at a random point in the circle. The earlier the nuke gets cancelled, the greater the CEP. This includes self cancelled nukes.

Lowko, are you the biggest RTS caster on KZfaq? I got an idea on my head that maybe pig had as many subscribers as you, and I looked, it's not even close. You seem to blow every other caster I can think of for SC or AoE out of the water in terms of subscriber count. If so, congratulations, though it's probably old news to you. Still an accolade to be proud of

@DrakeyC 4 ай бұрын

Part of me wants to handwave that the nuke never lands if the Ghost is killed because the Terrans intend it that way as a safety precaution, if the targeting is lost before its fully acquired then the nuke detonates in space or is programmed to go way off course. But as seen in the campaign, Mengsk has no problem nuking his own cities to destroy the Zerg, so that can't be it.

the game with the hackers was generals, you could also do supply drops as the US.

@DeserereX Ай бұрын

In real life the nukes gets armed midway to their targets (to avoid friendly fire) so we could say that the lore here is that the nuke gets launched and then they await the input from the ghost to be armed. If it end up not getting it in x time it just peter out without being armed or direct itself to the sky or to orbit

Fun fact: The Nydus Network structure isn't actually the bum with the worms being the heads, it's the other way around! Yes, one of the Zerg's most terrifying tactical repositioning abilities is... eating their own units and shitting them out elsewhere. Life finds a way.

A thing about nukes is they go in to space and then launch the warheads towards their target from space. So when the sniper gets killed the nuke just flies off in to space and never launches the warhead.

I so badly want to see a toggle button for all combat units, that changes their firing priority to workers over everything else. Imagine how much more valuable certain units like Hellions and Zealots would be if you could stutter step them and they would auto target workers. 10 Zealots can be made useless by 1 well placed spine crawler

@@FirstLast-gk6lg under normal circumstances i think that's true but we were in a situation that is a little unusual where zerg is forced to take bad trades while having 15k in the bank with his entire map mined out, while having 45 workers. i think he could afford to kill 15 workers to have 5 swarm hosts and nydus them around the map slowly draining terran resources. and plus you could just turn those workers into spores and then the zerg has a forrest of spores to camp on for the main army and a harassment squat of free units. i obviously have no idea what im talking about but its fun to think about :D
