Reynor vs Cure: The ULTIMATE StarCraft 2 Showdown! 

I love games where I don't know who's going to win until the last few minutes!

Think that was first late game non-Terran win on Gresvan that I've seen. What a game!

I wish there was a high prize off-race tournament, where the pros can't ignore it because it's too lucrative. They cannot play their main for it. I think it would be interesting to see if any emergent strategies develop from it.

The game really was a really good one. Both sides were pretty even, up until that massive fight at 35:28.

Cure has been growing on me gradually throughout the past month. He just plays such solid, multitasking Terran. And while he may not have the incredible micro of Clem or lategame of Maru, he's become one of my favorites. Thank you Lowko!

So entertaining AND kinda quick with no clear dominance for most of it. Game of the year, anyone?

I swear in the last couple of months we are getting some of the best Starcraft 2 games ever. Back in the day, there'd be just a handful of fights and the winner would be decisive and that would be it. Nowadays each fight feels like two boxers that are 15 rounds deep and each round has been a blood bath. Each of these battles could only be defended by the best of the best and they do it time and time again while also fighting two other battles. It's actually mind blowing how good these guys are and Lowko's friendly attitude casting it makes it so fun to watch every episode.

Incredible game and incredible casting Thanks Lowko!

phenomenal! I love the idea of Raynor making the muta-ling-bane play style great again

If there is an unit that gains value over time, it is the zerling.

Woah that was great! Amazing casting as always lowko!

Gresvan is an amazing map for broods, the wedges between the ramp and the center top and bottom edges of the map are extremely defensible for broods while also in striking distance of two bases

Really good back and forth game. This is why TvZ is the GOAT.

Such an epic game!!! loved it all the way through, love to see two SC2 titans go head to head with very different play-styles thanks Lowko!

@lowkoTV thanks for great SC commentary! I really enjoy it 😊

Damn now that was an incredible game. Well played by both of them until the very end!

Last night I did the mission in UED: First Light where it's one holdout in your main base, one escort for the convoy, and one holdout to defend the civilians once the convoy drops them off (and then you kind of need a hit squad to go kill Nidus or you get overwhelmed). That was probably the most intense army splitting I've ever done in SC2!

What a game. Thank you!

Now, THIS is the Game of the Year! Reynor showing us how to play Zerg in 2023.

Another banger video Lowko! Love your videos ❤ Keep up the amazing work and GLHF

As always ty for your hard work and dedication!!! glhf fam :D

When reaper dies: Lowko :Finally revenge 🎉🤣 5:17

Tremendous play with incredible speed and multi-tasking.

What are the 6, punch and spider icons top right at the beginning of the video?

An awesome game indeed. When Reynor fired his final attack, with mass banes, I was more than convinced that he will lose all army and twice as much in supply and resource cost. I saw that game before but forgot the outcome. Breaking tutrtle terran is a tough challange. You can send endless waves of ling bane ofc, but resources are not endless. Famous "a move army" consists like from ling bane ultra corruptor will trade 2-to-1 at best with the terran. If not 3-to-1. Reynor did an amazing job of surviving and recovering from such a disasterous start.

One of a kind game maybe game of the year? That was some of the best infestor play I've ever seen.

Les unités aérienne dans chaque race sont vraiment insane... Tu peut presque tout gagné avec si elle sont les bonnes mise a niveau !❤❤❤

@Lowko: Correct me if I'm wrong, but 600APM is 5 buttons a second, right (as in pressing and releasing a button is an action, each)? Also, apparently there is a feature in SC2 to measure effective actions per minute (EPM) sincs patch 1.4.3, wich supposedly measures actual commands only, not spammed ones.

Genuinely one of the most entertaining games I’ve seen

Thanks!

Fantastic game. This is one of the best if not THE best eras in all of Starcraft's history. That top 10 chart is full of absolute monsters.

Brutal Match!

29:48 "siege tanks leap frogging forward" 🐸🐸 Lowko creating his own words beautiful ❤ P.S.34:23 that was cute both players were trying to take the same base at the same time

Wow, it's possible for Terran to lose in Gresvan in the late game

Cure needed more air support in that battle. That was a winnable game.

It's all about hitting the RIGHT SPOT!

what a match! at 1 min I cheked if it was a Bo3, but no, it was an endless slaughter

is SCV kill count notification off in this observer mode?

Such a good match, not gonna lie this actually might be game of the year.

I love going mutas even though I'm not that fast. As long as you'r APM is faster than your opponent, they're not too bad. :P

WOW. What a GAME! Return of the Zerg King Raynor!

"...the fingers just hit the right spot, every time." That's what she said

I seriously do no know how raynor controlled that... couple vipers, couple infestors, lurkers, broodlords ling bane (I guess his mutas were dead by then). Definitely using that 600 apm... And cure was matching him all the way. If it wasn't for that fungal on the ghosts, cure could have won this. (reynor still had a bank but with no more mining from raynor, cure still had a decent chance)

this is the most neat zerg game i've seen in a while, the fact that this worked against cure is impressive!

great game!

What a fuckin match, awesome

what a game

Would going mass Liberators work vs Lurkers AND Mutas?

I don't play starcraft but I do enjoy the videos from Lowko, Pig and Florencio. I can say that in my opinion, Zerg is the most powerful race in the game.

That top 10 is missing gumiho. Guess hes in my personal top 10 XD

Great video as always Lowko, keep up the good work, been a fan for many years now, however Not having the widget to see the amount of workers killed has made my disappointment unmeasurable and ruined my day. 😂

I don't think Reynor would approve that ketchup analogy

what a great game!

Awesome game. It was a real banger! LOL.

What a game, if anyone could do it Reynor could do it you’re god damn right

this whole game couldve been dropping lings in the main of the terran to clear missle turrets wouldve caused so much pressure and opened up to mutas. so forcing the marines to stay in main for cheap lings

Am I early? Looking forward to watching this! Keep it up lowko!

that was stressful to watch 😅

You need to separate your muta group into 3 smaller groups, that way they interrupt all the ghosts while the main army closes the distance. This is the optimal way to counter ghosts, but I've never actually seen a pro player do it.

Surely the Terran counter for Mutalisks is Vikings?

Game of the year!

Honestly, I don't see any value in the APM. I've seen many players who are literally just flicking back and fore on two keys, apparently just to keep their APM up. I see EFFECTIVE Actions Per Minute as far more valuable. When you see players dancing individual units out of fire, superb micro and keeping battlefield knowledge high. That's the kind of thing that is truly valuable and important.

Have anyone seen some game in the past few months where terran won against zerg in pro scene (not complaining)? I saw one like a week ago, Maru vs Ragnarok if i remember correctly, but for the life of me can't remember last time before that. I don't say it can't happen, just that i would like to see it, for a change... Any links would be much appreciated, tnx. Awesome game btw, really could not tell the winner before the big fight near the end. Edit: Just found one about a month ago, Dark vs Clem, must have missed it....

shows that mistakes in the early game can be made up for. Never give up!

I love games where ***spoilers*** loses in the late game.

600!!! hoooooooooooooooow ? Nice!

3:36 This is GG.... BUT NOT FOR ME!

😱😱😱q brutal mrdaa

This comment is a bit unrelated but the lack of Protoss players in the top10 tells you Blizzard should give some buff to Protoss. They are supposed to be sky superior which isn't the case as of the moment.

mutas as an answer to gresvan shows why blizzard is terrified to buff them. zerg wouldn't have any bad maps if they mutas were always an answer. looks like reynor barely made it work, and if cure were used to it, probably couldn't have.

Reynor running that BLM build. Bane Lurker Muta.... lmao... lings go with every build so they dont need a letter hahaha

strong GOTY candidate

best game in a while

@LowkoTV I live in Rotterdam can I buy you a beer bro?

why did cure not build vikings?

you should upload 2 or 3 vid a day, one is not enough man

F for the mutas

That was a great game. 🎉 zerg!

15 terran cabal members are triggered that zerg can win on this map.

too early for me back to bed

Terran need a buff Or banshee can attack flying unit

Hero terran!!

LowKo eats a COUPLE of boogers for breakfast.

I love seeing Terrans lose on Terran favored maps 🎉❤

Bruh 600 avg actions per minute ... 😅

I don't know what is wrong with me. I just hate Zerg winning so much

Scores whited out? Just a mistake or purposely? (Edit mvm just realized it's one round only... holy cow must be a good one if this long lol)

Does Cure play better standard than world champion Normal man does

Does raynor play any terran or he switched completely?

*spoiler alert* wait a minute.... is it really possible to see a terran with 20 ghosts- tanks lose the game !?!? incredible game

Speed banes are so broken zvt.

wrg

1 hour early gang?

Spoiler It's the first time I see a zerg comeback against terran in a pro game.

First like!!!

i came

First

First...

This is an example of why the only way you can fight against Zerg is to constantly attack them. Cure's mistake was not pouring on the pressure early on when he had control of the middle of the map. He shouldn't have been dancing back and forth, he should have been killing Queens and Drones with constant Marine drops while keeping the Siege Tanks home to defend. Cure should have been leveraging the overwhelming power of stimmed Marines to shut down Zerg as soon as he had an edge. Terran has no great answer to Mutalisks or Lurkers -- everything that can deal with them is either not great in other engagements (Vikings, Liberators) or very vulnerable to Zerglings (Thors, Ghosts). More and more we are seeing late games that dramatically favor Zerg because pro players can manage multiple control groups with ease.

I always like to see terran lose😊
