For some reason I said (on full auto pilot) that Serral is doing his military service in South Korea... My bad!
Still better than North Korea.
I fear the time when Lowko will have to do his mandatory military service in South Korea
At least you said South Korea!
Yea this had me scratching head for a bit
What happened to Scarlett?
"Please work Please work Please work" This was me yesterday as I was flashing my motherboard bios lol
Well, I got some time and I decided to translate. It's not a direct translation, bear with me. 2:45 B: You do that and you'll get forward barrack rushed watch me D: try B: (I think he tried to write something like "won't let you get away with this" but zerglings rushed in) B: Chat rushing me... D: What? B: I started it first though... 15:10 B: Nice dancing(question mark is for sarcasm) D: ㅋㅋ
Ohhh Byun XD
Serral is serving in military in South Korea, what?? 😱 16:29
Yeah, strange, Serral looks european to me
Nope, in his home country if im not wrong
He's serving in the finish military it seems.
Serral is so good he can join a foreign military and still succeed.
i looked it up, the caster probably messed up the places. he is indeed serving in the finnish defence forces and rented an office in Finland.
29:14 love that circle and the queens admiring it
"these terran units look very huggable to me" my favorite quote :D
That was one of the most painful to watch professional starcraft 2 games I've ever seen. I loved it!
Also had a glitch yesterday where the supply depot was saying it was down but the animation never happened. So it looked up, but i could walk through it. It was a 2v2, other llayer was the terran and it did have a supply depot "hat" on it...
Lowko was so into the hugging, that miss all the destruction that zerg brings to the terrans during the last part of the first game... nice, Ultra hugging a Planetary
Hey Lowko! Thanks again for all the great content!
Thank you for the video, Lowko. Appreciate it.
You and Winter cast so much of the same games! Would be awesome to see you two casting together!
I heard Lowko say "energy bay" all those years and never questioned it 😂
im a simple man, i see Byun, i click
Hilarious series for my birthday!
that game 2 was insane!!! I love BuyN
spoiler: it did work
That's crazy
Nooooooo where’s the spoiler shield when we need it
Noob
You need a spoiler ALERT. Not the way to nerd out. Woulda been less of a spoiler if you just said, "It worked."
In some European militaries, when there aren't enough afternoon and night duties for everyone, those without any duties for the night can leave the base to take the evening off and also maybe sleep outside the base. The next morning they return to base.
I like the way Lowko says words with "oth" as "udd" like "udder than that" and the famous "muddership." My absolute favourite is "that's YUGE!" I love it so much that I just have to say it out loud whenever I hear it. My GF scoffs at me every time...
Thank you for these. Your English is great btw!
Ehm Serral doing military service in Finland i hope i ment? :D
The new intro has a nice ring to it
Love your vids
Parasitic bomb does not stack so Byun made no mistake not splitting these medivacs. It wouldnt have changed it. The problem was that he didnt realize that a second viper threw a second parabomb at these medivacs, which reset the timer of the ability and killed the medivacs. 27:38
Lowko Serral is serving in the Finnish Defense Forces in Finland.
the second match was so weird i don't even get if i know what went wrong or right
Nothing weird. Dark made a mistake at 22:36 when he decided not to protect any of his bases. He tried to attack, but it didn't work, and in the next few minutes, he lost his income.
for once i am early to a Lowko video, LOVE U SIR LOWKO!!!
If character hits were animated the game would much fun instead of staring at the green indicators on the top of them.
Those 2 siege tanks in game 1 were soooo efficient
Hi Lowko! Thanks for great games and commentary. Since you asked, there is a recurring thing that bugs me in your videos. That's when you use "ranged" instead of "range" while referring to range upgrades of colossi, lurkers, and hydras. It becomes slightly confusing because those upgrades increase the range, and are therefore "range upgrades", and the +1, +2, and +3 attack upgrades for ranged units increase ranged damage and "ranged upgrades".
Serral plays so well, the Korean military wants him out of respect and tradition.
Say the line Bart!!! 😂
Where can you find this replay? Fantastic games!
the helldivers II technique
"Hello everyone and **velcome** back to another starcraft 2 video!"
Wild how underpowered Terran is in this patch
Outrageous... Where's the intro?
It would be fun for you to cast a short(er) series all in Dutch. I don't speak it, but it would be cool to hear.
lol, blizzard trying to censor the in game chat more and it caused lag. really its nice that they allow you to turn it off which most games dont
i had the chat filter bug as well game constantly froze or stuttered until i saw someone in global say its the filter
Genuine question, why would T not build ravens for detection and creep control? It appears to me that scanning instead of yellow mining machine is quite not worth. Cuz a mule can make back alot of the minerals but not the gas. But bio T isnt rly a gas heavy comp. It doesnt even need to be alot just a few for detection and anti armor or auto turrets.
You need a tech lab + building time of raven -> you delay the medivac production a lot. Plus you need to control the raven otherwise it will just go straight to the queens and die. And after a while, you have enough orbitals to not bother if you scan.
@@Kradukman what i meant is having a raven to assist the marine push. since some builds go into banshees and stuff. but i dont ever see T making some ravens to push creep on top of the marines and medvacs
RNG Bay goes Brrrrrrrrr
Dark is a beast.
Byun making reactor and factory next to SCVs was sus.
Your English is almost perfect, so no worries. Problem is that we do not shorten the word engineering the way you think, and that's why it sounds like energy.
16:20 why is a finish zerg doing his military service in south korea?
A weird thing to share: Ever since the October 2023, I start using the phrase "X is nothing to write home about" during my speech (I am a overseas Vietnamese Student) and I am kinda abusing it since it is such a neat phrase. However, yesterday my professor commenting on my speech that I need to reduce the number of time I use it. All in all, Lowko you have a bad influence on me.
ByUN be the heromarine
Experiencing Lag? "You're piece of ****" - Blizzard
i think that was a battle on who was trolling more, Byun won, lol.
10:34 these ground units all lost some health for some reason..?
Cant wait to see Dark submit game 2 to IODIS to prove the terrain is imba
This is what my boss tells me every day ;p
I feel like Dark threw that second game pretty hard. Just letting both those bases die was a huge mistake.
Zerg is so op man.
Byonlievable 😆
When your a millionaire StarCraft player of course you get an office.
Aight I'm gonna get darude sandstorm'ed but can someone tell me where the hell I find the ost on 44:13 ? I've been listening to full starcraft 2 osts and cant find that song
SelfRude ReplyStorm
If ultralisks are the light at the end of the tunnel, I would prefer to stay in the dark (pun intended)
Forgive my ignorance, but when did serral start his military service?
@LowkoTV 18:24 "That's what she said"
What if Serral comes back as a champion of FPS ?
Lowko is using She instead of He .. really frequently :D
i would like to watch this matches with diferents skins, they are always with normal skins
Wait. Did you all hear the Dark had a kid?!
Dude i have been getting lag spikes at the beginning of the game right around the 2 minute mark EVERY GAME. its druving me mad.
It is fun to shoot guns.
no i would have said it the same way as a im from USA the north eastr part
spoiler: Byun slowed the game down, while simultaneously macro'ing up slowly but surely. Constantly resetting the zerg army count .
In the world of equality i love mandatory military service is only for men. Anyway, i'd love to see their chats translated in the edit. Going to comments everytime is meh.
Ummm you speak English better than I do .... And I only speak English. 😅
But it *is* fun to shoot guns!
Lowko, excellent content, but you asked for language critiques so here you go: IT'S "ECONOMIC DAMAGE," NOT "ECONOMICAL DAMAGE." Doing economic damage means doing damage to your opponent's economy. Doing economical damage means doing damage while getting a 2-for-1 sale on your iceberg lettuce.
Wouldn't it be that you did damage but it was cheap to do it ?
since you are Duch, do you smoke the reefer while doing replays ? I truly hope you do...my red eyed friend
There's a profanity filter? You can disable it? You tellin me out there are players I can swear at without it getting censored and it even lessens my lag?
Seeing as you asked. You have been mispronouncing 'Glee-ahl'(Glial) Reconstitiution as 'Gilli-ahl' (Ghillie - uwl) for the last 7 years I've been watching your SC2 casts 😂 'Glial 'cells are a type of cell that has a function in the neurons of a brain. Presumably this is why Roaches can move faster once it is 'Reconstituted' ( presumably made more efficient and improved) Look it up, 'It can't be denied' 😂
Likes shooting guns? Serral is an honorary American at international tournaments

Spoiler: Zerg vs Terran
Mass marine "strategy"
It's always that pesky profanity filter! F$%# THE PROFANITY FILTER! 🤣
Bro why are you yelling the entire game volume on the lowest setting and you are just screaming in my ear
I have never played this game, I only watch your videos but it seems to me that you do not see/understand mechanics of this game. It seems like you look from "quote on quote standard game" perspective and many things outside "do not make sense" for you. One of the things that constantly pop out is you observe cost efficiency and supply count only. First of all if I mine 12k resource and lose 6k, you mine 8k and lose 4k (in the same time), I'm still 2k ahead. Going further If I mine 10k and lose 8k, you mine 6k and lose 6k, I will outgrow you not linearly but geometrically, so my only job is to keep you occupied even though direct efficiency is not in my favour. And that's only when we do it in the same time. But many times it's not the case. As for the second point 1 supply is not equal to another 1 supply, so being behind has much more depth... E.g. You constantly point out when number of workers for Zerg is higher than e.g. Terran and that eco is "greater". Well not exactly... Terrans have Mule + better direct cost efficiency, so it depends... E.g. Terran has 10 CC and Zerg has 10 more workers....
Don't worry, Lowko is a grandmaster and understands all of those things !
