"It's called golden wall cuz... of the golden wall" and "its called golden tower because of the... golden towers" hahaha I love Lowko's explaining

“Lined up in an Aesthetically pleasing way” “for our German viewers”... i litteraly died at that joke. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

I love when high level Terrans build one Viking early. You end map sight by Zerg and might even supply block them.

I am a german viewer and I am aesthetically pleased by the production facility lineup!

12:59 holy crap, in all my years of watching SC2 i never knew the ultralisk cavern had a FREAKING MOUTH!

Such a beautiful series lowko very good commentary as well it’s so cool to watch such a high level and actually being able to understand the biggest parts of the game I play a little bit but you really know a lot of the mechanics and strong points of good play

Oh damn 1 hour series this is gonna be good :)

Does anyone else quietly whisper "hello, my name Lowko and welcome"? No just me? Okay

Welcome back to a beast of five, yeah!

Referencing the Beatles and immediately afterwards talking about Steps of War? Ok Boomer, we get it, you're old :P

I love these huge macro games, where many groups of units are fighting all over the map as if many people controlled them. In fact, I subbed to you when these kind of games were popular! Great video as always Lowko!

A different channel posted the same game for casting a few days ago . But I was like "Nah, I'm waiting. This game is gonna be so lit, that I want Lowko casting it"

I think, potentially, that Maru "allows" the fast third hatchery by not blocking it because it sort of dissuades Dark from just going "Oh, you're blocking my third? OK, roach ravager zergling all-in then". Giving the zerg the fast third allows Maru to cut marines, skip the siege tank and get his own third up really fast.

Every game Dark goes Roaches he losses thinking emoji... every time he doesn’t he makes Maru look bad at 10-12 mins.

It's always the second wave of Zerg that is the most dangerous. That is the one that is a new composition tailored around the army you have at that time. To defeat a Zerg, you make sure that second wave is defeated before you trade armies. Removing tech structures, killing queens to stop injects, removing larvae or overlords. Killing their economy enough so a second wave wont come, (but that usually is GG anyway). Defeat the second wave, and then trade armies.

You know it's going to be good when you see Maru vs Dark in the title. Great series!

Wow, 2 of the best of all time going at it, with some very fun rounds. I love Dark's non-meta creative unit comps.

I feel so bad whenever I see a zerg player make Ultralisks, because I love the unit, but it's just not good.

Yeeeesssss 1 hour of Lowko, that’s gonna be an hour of 100% awesomeness Edit: I sadly watched this Series al ready :-( still you cast better than Wardi who did that originally

YES, "Helloooo everyone, my name is LOWKO!" This enthusiasm is more infectious than covid 19-84.

What does a Korean say when he's born? Goliath online.

Hell-low, effree-van! His name is Lowko, and I know where I spend my next hour.

“The flappy bois” *-Lowko 2020*

1:05:45 “the supplies are starting to be heavily in favour of maru” Maru: 60 supply higher than dark Me: would still lose in Maru’s position

Its funny that I started doing way better overall as Zerg when I just stopped going for roaches. I know what you mean by "getting stuck into that transition Lowko" it is hard man just avoid roaches like the plague LOL. Even when countering adepts just get a baneling nest and hide the Banes behind the mineral line. It works 90% of the time and the Toss gets easily baited, just don't do it twice against the same guy.

I’ve been waiting for one of these BO3/5 for SO LONG!! THANKS LOWKO!

Regarding the scv that does not block the third: The reason, I think, is : "Ok, I'm blocking your 3rd, but I'm also losing mining time, and 1scv = 1drone in mining time, so basically, it does nothing that gets me an advantage because the 3rd is gonna happen, and the mining time of that SCV is more valuable for me than blocking a 3rd for 10-20 seconds." So basically, it is terran player's confidence of maximize its ressources value vs "lowering" his opponent timing. And I guess that the Terran prefer to bet on itself rather than a delayed timing of the zerg. I don't know if what I'm saying is making sense, but well...

Good cast Lowko. Thank you. Amazing match.

Yo I love your casting videos I’ve never played Starcraft in my life but your videos have made me go all out and buy a pc and get started on this shit

Sometimes i zone out and think there are two announcers arguing with each other

I wonder whether the overlord thing was because he expected Maru to be very aggressive and kill one of his bases shortly after that point in the game. By having the additional supply available and keeping on top of injects he could've quickly ramped up army production, gone in for a very aggressive counter-attack (potentially even a base race), and resupplied again without using precious minerals, larvae, and macro focus on overlords at that critical moment.

German viewer here and I actually thought to myself that that production line was perfectly placed. The fact that you mentioned Germans being pleased by this was on point and made me smile, ty. :D

Just one hour of amazingness

"A little indie band ... they were called the beatles" hahahaha

I am german and approve of the aesthetically pleasing setup in game 5 Great series, have watched it already like 4 times by different casters^^

Your impression of a pinball machine was better than your impression of Bob Ross. Poink poink

Whenever Lowko says "He makes it seemingly so easy to play *the specific unit*" then there will be nerf to that unit.:D Like Serral dominating with infesters supported by bloodlords.

46:53 108 zerglings in production lol

wow bro i like the way u commentating, btw these player are in a insane level of gaming knowledge

19:36 literally jaw dropping performance, humans are unbelievable

17:08 And all together, people! We all live in a yellow submarine...

Yellow Submarine was a movie too! One of the best ones I've ever seen.

Been mentioning this a lot Dark usually goes for 6 zerglings as opposed to 4 don't know why but every game I've watched with him against Maru it's always the same. Really love the games between these two, the mind games and the effects of small mistakes can sway the favour of the game.

Only a person like Lowko would look at marines getting infested by fungus in the last game and call it "sexy" xD

Clash of the titans. Masterful.

9:55 That Maru word was like Itunes!

Those splits at 25 min to about 27 mins =OOOO

I think I agree with the feel about Ultralisks, in the Heart of the Swarm video it shows the Ultras barreling down the road, they stomp on tanks and just mow things down and very little happens to them, in game they kinda... meh, I think even the Ultras in SC1/Brood War were significantly stronger, you could pummel them with all sorts of stuff and their health bar didn't move very fast, SC2 they pop like grapes

The Loko Bingo in TvZ: Doesn´t get enouth to cast from the Players. Big Price Money. Insane Control. Amazing Start/Game Greediest build. Yellow Mining Machine Let me know if there is more

As a german I'll just quickly comment that I indeed always arrange my production facilities in very symmetrical and organized patterns if I can. XD

That was amazing! Best match-up in a while. @LowkoTV - I'd be more comfortable if the status bar order was reversed in the golden wall section :p

If the Earth got invaded by zergs or other alien races, I hope they give MARU command of the Terran forces for humanity's sake! Haha

Missile turrets need a damage increase or splash damage or both

29:52 I think he does that just to flex, to show that what he does is the way to do things.

29:12 Fun fact: drones don't care about the explosion.

59:35 THERE'S ALSO ENERGY FOR MICROBIAL SHROUD!

Naw Yellow Submarine is nothing like Steppes of war. The overall map sizes are similar, but Steppes of War is just really "inefficient" with it's layout such that the natural to natural distance is super short, and overall playable area is also much smaller due to large areas of dead space.

Both are really scary players.

you know how i can easily predict who wins? when the comment section is full of positive vibes.

Heellooo EVERYONE !! My name in Loowkoo :D. I love that introduction jaja

oh wow, did lowko used a new line, "hello everyone my name is lowko, and welcome back to a a beast--" and i was like what?

I feel like dark should have much more recognition

I was saving this watch from Wardi's channel, but I do enjoy your pro-casts, so I am watching here now.

Lowko the Bob Ross of Starcraft

Anyone else actually mad impressed with some of Max's moovveess

Millions dollars for playing games. Oh man i wish i could do this

Paint some happy little creep tumors, of course they need a friend so they go in pairs :)

Your replay is ... appreciated.

This German is pleased ^^

I love to watch these videos just to see who is going to smell "bludindawater" first.

I got so excited once I saw the 2 players

"This is another sign of a great player." Proceeds to lose 2 siege tanks in medivacs...

One hour Maru vs Dark?! Awesomesauce! 😁

An I the only one who would prefer the buildings be diagonal instead of vertical so that their models lined up with each other instead of the screen?

Great commentary on the game, big like for the Beatles reference!

29:28 The Queen is.... throwing up. *Badum tss

Great play from both sides

Yeah there was a movie about it with the Beatles

Am i crazy if i think that defensive split lurker is better than going ultras on the last game?

4:58 nice timing there, terran01 ends and bc starts getting produced

If you think you can kill a drone instead... that's a better option. 50 minerals + time to build new drone

Dark struggling to get his hatcheries in the centre on these new bases

Did Lowko literally just call the Beatles a “small indie band” Arguably that’s how they started but went on to be so much more than that

They had funny hair cuts lol XD

omg i fell in love with the 5th game, if thats even possible

more lowkotv? heck yes

I just came for the microbial shroud sarcasm

@LowkoTV I wonder if they will try and adapt a Map calling it Flat Earth and just have no ramps but same overall map type like for example that Submarine LE map but just remove the ramps making it all flat and no high grounds. it would be an interesting meta and no starwars referrence would be in your jokes :D

Right when i decided to go to sleep hour-long vid thx x^D

steppes of war give me 6pool flashbacks :(

ravager is a bad anti air and terren drops kinda counters it super hard, easy escape and easy drop attack. if ravagers could atk air with their basic attacks then they would be worth it, but as of now roach ravager = 0 anti air and terren always has good air suppourt, serg over all just bad anti air i would love to see zerg mutation where you can fuse spine or spore crawler on a ultralisk and they become walking detecting anti air or walking long range ground assulter

They should just remove Ultras from the game lol... Last time I went for Ultras I got a pretty sick surround with 2 Ultras and a few lings on the Terran back line, he just picked up his units and left. Now if those Ultras would have been Infestors....

Why don’t reapers try to snipe/nade the drone going for the 3rd?

Four and a half years later...

One Hour video !!!!!! Is back

I want to see a zerg hive from below. Some of the maps have those base spots with glass panels over it. I can't sleep well. Please send help.

I wish I could micro like Maru

Where might one find the replay pack for this series? I'd love to watch it for myself so I can copy Maru's build orders

One question, when the zerg go almost full baneling, isn't it better to go to an air army?

this was a good match and a good game
