MaxPax's MACRO TEMPEST Build vs Clem! (StarCraft 2) 

I can’t watch any other sc2 streamer. You’re the only one with a good combination of voice, game breakdown, and extra content/banter. I’ve watched every upload since you first popped up in my feed. Thanks for the entertainment

He said it guys, he said the thing!

27:15 You just described the whole problem with PvT. Protoss has to rely in coin flip units while Terran just disintegrates everything with the same army composition every game.

Literally my favorite intro to "sing" along with. Love it.

EMP is OP. I remember a video where Lowko talks about the sound effects of spell casters. It really makes you think that some attacks are more powerful than others. I saw a video about the sound effects of guns in FPS games. Even when the stats of the weapons are the same, players usually perform better with the gun that has a stronger sound. I totally think it's the case with EMP. Because it doesn't have a strong sound effect, usually we don't realize how powerful it is. Storms, on the other hand, look way more devastating.

Lowko spent the first 2 mins of the third game talking about random stuff and honestly, that was my favorite part of the video. You're hilarious 😂

39:17 marine bleeding out on the ground, gasping for breath with blood spitting out of his mouth: "... wait... I- I just... found a shield... in... in my backpa-" *dead*

"how are they gonna progress their runescape accounts?" as I split screen lowko and progress my runescape account... are you freakin watching me bro?

Every f***ing time i hear this intro it puts me in the best of moods! Thank you for your hard work your casts are absolutely incredible!

It allways hurts to just see a bunch of vikings decimate the entire protoss fleet.

Very happy with these longer games, means I don't have change videos while I'm on my rowing machine. Great job Lowko!

I always have the impression that whenever we analyze the Protoss, they always seem weaker than the others and ultimately have no advantage. If we look at the units: adept, sentry, DT, carrier, tempest, void ray, phoenix are generally weak in the meta. Zealots are effective with upgrades, stalkers are good for poking, but they have low DPS in fights, which creates awkward moments where stalkers try to destroy 20 Vikings but not only fail to do so, but also cause the Protoss to lose the ground battle. Immortals are broken, but 2 immortals against 50 roaches or 20marines/10marauders ... well disruptors are a better choice. It takes a lot of resources to destroy a Terran base, whereas an 8 marine drop can wreak havoc. It's impossible to poke; zealots will focus on the PF and die. Sending DTs? Terran will scan and it's over. Whereas if a Terran sends a ghost, if the Protoss hasn't placed a cannon, it's inevitably 5-10 probe kills for 1 ghost. Terran/Zerg can produce 4 Vikings/30 seconds, 999 corruptors/29 seconds for 3 carriers/69 seconds. Vikings and corruptors are versatile, excellent range and effective against ANY type of flying unit(except mass muta, but who really plays mass muta). I won't talk about ghosts; we already know the recipe. In short, the main reason Protoss win is often either by chance, creating unexpected situations, or by punishing their opponent's mistakes/creating chaos.

The real buff protoss need is a terran nerf to the ghost's EMP... it's kinda frustrating to loss all shield to a single EMP shot, no matter the radius of it

16:00 I imagine MaxPax sitting on his bed in the evening like the wolverine meme with a picture of blink stalkers in his hand

Four 1-hour long videos in 4 days?! Lowko does love us! ❤ (Comment for interaction)

Love a good MaxPax v Clem game. Two of my absolute favorites. Great cast as always Lowko!

Another great cast, thanks very much!

42:10 That prism is the avatar. When the world needed him most.

Feels like with this level of micro on Protoss, Force Field + Purification Nova is going to be one hell of a combo.

I hear the jingle I like instantly

Holy crap, you had an encounter with ball lightning! That's like winning a negative lottery lol, it's ultra rare. Glad that your family survived that encounter, it's reportedly very unpredictable

Clem vs MaxPax is my favorite matchup, thank you for these amazing games Lowko !

ooooooh! A MaxPax game *and* the OG intro?!? thanks Lowko! hahahaha, that misclick mule and MaxPax's reaction was good!

When will we get some partinG?

Should be "L'explosion des centaires du command" or something.

I always find Max very creative and full of initiative and Clem a very fully alive Terran player. Wonder how a match between them and Maru or Dark or Stats would be like. Amazing people.

1:30: I love it xD 3:35: Oof. 5 gold-miners too. Not good. 5:10: And then the accidental Mule! Cleam destroying his own eco =o 9:10: I can't believe that worked. Half the Storms hit nothing but a Tank... 13:30: So many 1-for-1 trades already! 20:20: Yikes. That may be buying time but it's still 800 minerals thrown away for a couple Marine kills... 21:08: Ouch. 24:55: Colossi, Disruptor, DT, Tempest... He wants it all! 26:45: Aaaand there goes half the army. 29:10: How TF is he still in this, after losing half his army for free and being way down in eco? I guess it helps when half Clem's army isn't with the other half. 29:45: KABOOOM BABY!! 31:37: At some point, every Protoss feels the weight of their Disruptor's sins and sacrifices them to the Karma gods. 39:00: Wow, that was excellent from Max =0 44:00: Mmmm, yummy storms =) Wild how it keeps looking like Max is outplaying but the supply tells another story! 46:30: Everywhere but on the Terran, it looks like! Can't believe Clem survived that. If Max had just sent some Zealots into the expansions... 1:02:00: Well, alright then.

I'm just 22 years old now this month, but the fact that it was several years ago that lowko regularly uploaded videos of him playing games, and that it was many years ago that he first started casting games makes me feel old already. Hahaha xD Edit: The classic intro was nice! :D

That feeling when you realize you have five or six workers just chilling next to your CC/Hatch/Nexus... God it hurts 😂

Hey when I was a kid there was no internet, we survived but I must say it’s a lot better today. I’m 62 by the way, never grew up.

Where is the thumbnail from? I can't find where it shows that many tempests in game

Thank you for the video, Lowko. Your intro always puts a smile on my face.

Do you remember that feeling when you are like 6yo and wake up and realize it's your birthday and there's gonna be cake and xbox and candy and stuff. That's the lowko intro feeling.

27:35 Clem BMing by destroying imposter medivac

Carriers should regen interceptors at baseline, but you can pay minerals to speed it up.

I do believe the Tempest could use a couple of changes, just to make it a bit more responsive. It can feel a bit sluggish right now.

36:45 Ah yes, and as we all know, MaxPax being a Stalker (the sc2 unit, not the other kind) only has 4!

I always thought the zealot hand weapons were modeled after the Predator .

So Basically Lowko's house got EMP'd

Imagine life without the internet Lowko says. Why are you trying to drive us mad?

It should be possible to micro out of EMP like it is for protoss AOE attacks

Grew up without the internet. It were simpler times. Also: Pharaohs and sharing memes... have you SEEN pyramids on the inside? It's all memes all the way!

I like laughn games when he casts bots, but im also into bots😂

damn the new maps are so interesting i actually hope they take a bit longer to swap around this time

I was in Ijmuiden like two weeks ago, I’ve neve seen so much lightning in my entire life.. like surrounded my lightning strikes Aaaaand about the Internet, I was born in 1991 and I was 15 when we got internet in our house.. 😅

Thanks for the classic intro - I needed that today 💙

That last game was sick, MaxPax realizing that after ***SPOILERS*** killing two medivacs full of units, killing the contents on the third, and knowing that it would take time for fourth one full of units to get back, it was the right time to strike at Clem's base: You can literally see on the minimap that he's sending everything he got at Clem. Clem got off a nice emp at the frontline of archons towards the end, but it was too little too late. What a game.

THE intro , nicee

Finally Lowko is back

EMP is aoe instant dmg vs Protoss, instant aoe feedback, and also detection when Terran already has other easy detection options. It is very OP specifically vs Protoss and it is why Terran has been destroying Protoss in major tournaments for the last decade. The Zerg v Protoss matchup is more balanced, no major bias. The Zerg v Terran again is balanced. But EMP is a major hard counter vs Protoss as it negates their Dark Templars, High Templars, and does heaps of instant dmg to Protoss army.

though i am definetly not on the high end of players, i feel protoss is still missing something. To me, it feels like Z&T have high value end-game spells that are always viable in aggressive playstyle, with EMP, Abduction, Snipe, Neural - even mass raven with turret and global teleport of BCs. Whereas P seems to have the mothership which IMO is barely ever getting a return on investment of, since you only get ever 1 and thus its basically always sniped. Of the aggressive spells, well there is Feedback, but it's rather defense / count of other casters, really - and Storm - both of which comes from the same unit and feels odd to move along with the skytoss. So, I'd be curious if ie. Oracle gets a spell - though some say we've get enough - maybe move feedback to the oracle, or give it a spell, like the sentry bubble, but one that provides movement-/turning speed for a short time of near units. Guess would break voidray & oracle combo in some way. And a thing i always wanted to see… that the oracle should become a detector - and ditch the observer. The raven can be an detector too, but an oracle cant?

44:38 You ok Lowko?

During WoL my step son wanted to play SC2 with me and he didn't knew much of the game. I had so much fun dropping MULE in his base and he was panicking because he thought he was being rushed and about to die. 🤣

Its curious how maxpax seems to get vastly better engagements with the same units, but i think i get it. Normal protoss players think of "front zealots, stalkers next" and everyone engages at the same time. Seems smart, but the two forces drift apart and zealots die for no benefit. Maxpax rolls in "stalkers first, zealots next" and in retrospect it makes a ton of sense. The stalkers mix into enemy ranks, splitting spash damage, baiting friendly fire, but most importantly they absorb the first wave of attacks on shields. The zealots swoop in with full hp, taking the aggro off the stalkers, and bring superior DPS to clean up. Its like starting with blink pikemen, then relieving them with charge cavalry.

i gave a like for that supervillain lighting story

Imagine that last fight without emp...would have been near even...

what are the three circles on the top right in the begging of the video

I heard isl 222 and i thought "what? A game from the 2022? Whyyyy?" And replay it like 3 times until i get it 😂😂😂... im not the brightest human in the morning 😅

Spoilers zergs are fast with little legs 🦵

Im a simple man. I see Clem v MaxPax. I like. I watch.

great game!

The BM joke @ 5:19 generated a genuine question. Considering that sometimes there are tens of thousands of dollars in prizes in the line, are there any true beefs between pro players?

Which unit is The protos siege unit. Like the tank and lurker.

This is so pawggers!!!!

Sometimes we get lost in elegance, Clem threw a few too many units away in smaller groups and the good old F2A for MaxPax

So wait, the series was finished with an F2 A-move? XD

By the way Lowko, MaxPax so far is actually up on Clem 5-4 so far in 2024. Though at the end of 2023 from October 23rd to November 20th Clem beat MaxPax 7 times in a row and in general in 2023 Clem was up 34-21.

MISS!!! BM!! lol

I think Lowko has mixed up the definition of lightning and thunder? If you live in the states and are worried about this happening to you, it should not if your house is properly grounded

13:54 Omae wa mou shindeiru

Is dropping mules the SC2 equivalent of teabagging?

The voices in my head are getting louder - Lowko 2024

punished immediately lol

“Hello Every…” - Me smashing the like button

toss is so gimped compared to Terran and Zerg, and yet still find reasons to nerf it even more

you can't see thunder bro dangla

Things are not the same without Serral !!

Scv on strike lmao

5 scvs were on strike

Hello Lowko❤

thunder is not hitting anything XD lightning does XD

Spoiler Shield! Like this comment to ensure others aren’t spoiled by the top comment!

Clan clem Liquid Mlem.

The almost endless scanning in the lategame being such an unfair advantage for Terran might be the issue, in my opinion Instead of looking at unit's I think the (mass) Orbital command's should be looked at, if anything

Jimmy the all knowing

zerg needs our proper banes back- why they never buff us were nnot all serral T.T

Tempest splash damage please :)

nice

I feel clickbaited, I saw no tempest fleet :/

MaxPax??? Tempest?? Old intro???? He mustve known i was having a bad day D:

Pay your SCV's boys

to prove what you say is legit, show us Pub matches of seral and maxpax or reynor... whats their win percentage?

Spoiler Athena's shield : The Firstborn win

5 Scv on strike? what do you expect? we are French !! :p (i'm French also ^^)

DT in brood wars not giving a notification is totally thematic though, they are stealth units after all right?

Temp in philippines is 35 😂 what's on yours?

Protoss feels bad always against terran....

Lowko - I'm not old, but man all that talk about your dad now I'm wondering. Maybe it's NOT true that you're only as old as you think you are, because I'm still a young kid who loves video games :)

I don't get it, what's so bad about that mule thing?

I agree, more bm would be fun at times. Feel like this could be stimulated by hosting a tournament where the winner is chosen by a judge after the game based on things like originality and bm, with negative points if they play too much like a tryhard :p
