StarCraft 2: GuMiho makes Battlecruisers look OVERPOWERED! (GSL Code S) 

I agree, Its actually super easy to do it with stalkers. Adepts are another level

shade dodge is another level

Yeah, ten folds lol... One is reactive, the other is proactive (you need to shade prior to engaging, as opposed to just blinking)

All I need are the Battlecruisers lmao.

Aw he kinda did tho and Im grateful for his consistency :)

I'm happy he is protecting his voice, but I do wish he would keep the same cadence and flow of the og intro! He just needs to stay away from the rasp

SAME

It definitely is. A few of the late game Zergs probably have a slight advantage tho. A lot of it is the maps.

the mule mechanic alone makes TERRAN absolutely dominant and GHOSTS counter everything

@@jesusbarrera6916only against zergs ghost do that. Protos has rapid fire feedback

@@jesusbarrera6916 yeah i feel like the EMP ability should go to the raven.. in highlevel ZvT that may be even a buff since you cant neural>emp the ghosts anymore :D

​@@jesusbarrera6916ghosts don't counter user error on the ghosts side.

Lol Voidrays. Can't tell if serious or not.

With upgrade leed and without rays yea ..

Collosus are like the Toss version of siege tanks Gumis only hope of ever holding that position was to snipe the Collosus and they both knew that. I've done alot of base trades in my day (as a Terran we usually win those because of the whole lifting buildings thing) but if the enemy has a unit that can outrange your defenses it prevents you from huddling up like Gumi tried to do. Fun fact btw if you get into a situation where neither side can win after 2 mins of nothing being destroyed and nothing being built the game will give a warning and if no one does anything after it forces a tie. for example ZVT you have 3 hydras and a spine and all i have is a rax and a Factory. I float my buildings to the edge of the map and can force a draw becuase you have no way to kill the buildings since you have no drones and no way to make anything that flies edit: Or a similar situation your last building is a spine and you have 3 hydras and I have a engi bay and a banshee (without cloak) I cant engage your hydras because I'll lose my banshee but you cant go after my building because i'll kill your spine and you'll lose I could take a risk and try to outplay you but if I lose the banshee I cant defend my last building however if I keep my banshee away from your hydras you can't risk leaving your spine unguarded. So another draw situation unless someone wants to gamble a loss.(you could split and send 1 or 2 hydras to kill my building but then my banshee will either kill the 1 hydra or the spine and the one hydra like I said its a gamble

They just follow because reasons

Carriers get absolutely demolished by battlecruisers. They have more hp more damage and have yamato

I’m actually not entirely sure what version the GSL played on

@LowkoTV I wondered, because the range seems so large. It can also be the ramp though. They always lead to me misjudging ranges. Anyways the matches were awesome. :)

Wouldn’t of mattered creator had a massive supply lead for last match and they out range everything anyway Thermal lens wasn’t done either until the end

@Name-ru1kt don't misunderstand me here. I dont say he won because of it. I just wondered if they had it. But yeah in that case it's really the ramp making the range look larger than it is

He completely took Creator apart, Creator never knew about those 8 starports, never tried to fly the prism into the main, he traded bio to snipe the air upgrades and free his supply for more BCs while never fighting carriers head on because that would just free supply for Creator to build more Tempests. Masterclass

12:09 so why don't T surround sensors with depos? it is really cheap, you need the depo's and anything that blows them up will be worth the price and delay instead of losing the tower to easy melee runby. also depo can lift/sink into a maze when needed to fk with ai on a-move stuff

13:16 that archon is dreaming off being a dark archon; the true power of spellcast; perma mindcontrol mostly xD honestly they should allow 2 archons to fuse into a dark archon with all its power, as its 200min,600 gas unit; so perma mind control for 200sp is not too op honestly, cant remember its other abilities xD upgrade to sentries late game letting them heal shield tyvm, or let them attach to larger units so they cant be targeted before the unit die or something so they are utilized fully in late game, also something with forcefield as late game it seems to never be used

14:13 1,5 archon worth off shield healed; and the delay that static defence created was extreme, 3 fully loaded medivac went into a almost undefended base lost a third+ of their units and only manage minor dmg and a darkshrine snipe. if those 600 resources hadn't been in static there 3 full medivac uncontested in your mainbase will clean soooo much even if you kill them off. I've been screaming forever and FINALLY we see a map where static defence from Protoss is used more like it should (lots of it and to prevent micro overload, buy time, and ensure good trading due to shield batteries garanteeing it if they are near. though still 1 pylon to power them all -.-

14:29 1 nuke cost more than 1pylon+1photon, sooo why are they not there to detect for nukes or take a nuke or give heads up :P you can add in a background battery and now you need a small force to clear it ^^

15:07 "with lib range" it gives the protoss a lot of extra resources for photons a long that side all the way up to the edge and now you gave P a perfectly good reason to use those resources and make his bases much harder to harass, break or force APM on later in the game. honestly T does P a favour if he invest 2-3lib+lib range into this, you as P can throw down 4+ photon cannons to cover the good sieging spots for them. (if you already have pylons you can get 6+ photons, that's 2 photons on each base, that's 1 photon within range of EVERY reasonable lib siege spot... ... and now P got an extra 6 photons for base trade, fallback or to give free apm when harass comes mid large fight to force mistakes (6 photons enhance them with 6 shieldbats +fast cast overcast and you can completely ignore the base; it will hold back 30-40 supply army no problem for a looong time, if crappy units like 15 roaches they will properly lose that fight if not microed well ^^ ofc its split between 3 bases but remember these are just extra on top of what is naturally there, these where just for lib defence, like building your spores, and the batteries you need for base defence and shield recharge on archons,carriers and tempest, so you can never have to many if you micro back over them. etc

Maybe you mean TY - Classic? But there he didn't really destroy skytoss, it's was more like this game, where he was already ahead a ton in supply and caught the protoss fleet, yamatos a bunch and smashes the rest easily because of overwhelming numbers due to already having much higher army supply. Edit, found it, it's this one: StarCraft 2: INSANE FINAL FIGHT - ByuN vs Creator! It was just interceptors screwing over Protoss, he simply jumped on top of them and the interceptors weren't out, nor did he retreat. It was a slaughter, but that's how it should be, it's like running bunched up bio into disruptor fields or banelings, you shouldn't fight when the enemy is strongest and for BC's that's them getting into the thick of the fight and using Yamato.

@@tobiasL1991 yep that latter one was the one I meant, cheers

yes it is capped at 512 fps

Which one? Title?

@chillynewberg2652 unkown killer robots. Lowko should sue for sure and get a few $100k

The reason why is because those games are much more rare where they do actually work which makes people want to cast them more. Its gotten worse over the years since it used to be the only thing everyone played against

Carriers are big in lower leagues, because they require almost no micro to be effective. Both Terran and Zerg have responses for them but they require *some* micro to be effective. That’s not a problem for the pros. Conversely, pros don’t use carriers too much because *they* can’t micro them either to make them more effective. It’s more like a specialist unit.

@@enriquegarciacota3914 Thats what I also feel like. Still, not sure why Lowko always hyping up skytoss, when 90% of the time it gets rekt

@@navins11 because the Protoss Golden Armada "deathball" just looks awesome, whether or not it can wipe an army 😄

I think it's because SC1 skytoss was sooo epic, they rekt everything else and nothing in SC2 can compare, Z and T had to prevent P from assembling the deathfleet or else.

They’ve finally prepared the fleet

It's because playing standard results in getting countered a lot easier due to the opponent playing anti-standard (bio in the case of Terran), while pulling off weird things can do game-winning surprise damage or mess with a build order so badly that it creates an advantage. That is, of course, emphasizing the "pulling off" part because if the weird thing doesn't work, usually the one doing it is screwed.

@@joshuakim5240 Well aware. Name an appropriate late game response in this scenario.

@@admiralmurphy1543 Mass marine is commonly doubled down on to deal with Skytoss, but that's very easily shut down by HTs (that Creator made due to Gumiho playing bio for 90% of that game). Gumiho deliberately hid his BCs as long as he could to bait Creator into making an anti-bio Skytoss force that was very low on Tempests, getting that one golden engagement that won him the game. If Creator knew that Gumiho was bleeding out his bio force, then he could have more aggressively attacked and just wiped out Gumiho way before he came even close to that critical death mass of BCs (Gumiho literally made that mass during Creator's final attack, that's how close it was cut), but the threat of there being a hundred marines instead made Creator go too hard on Carriers, HTs, and Archons instead and poked too slowly.

@@joshuakim5240 and as for the battlecruiser themselves, are you convinced mass tempest is the appropriate response?

Same

Void Rays even with prismatic alignment are no match at all, especially against Yamato cannons. Mix of carriers and void rays also doesn't work. the only practical counter is mass tempest with some carriers. But the problem is widow mines are then mass produced and easily take out several tempests with each volley. You could theoretical counter with archons, if they were all underneath the BCs and the BCs don't move, but that is not realistic.

Yeah idk why he changed the cadence. Everyone wants him to protect his voice. Just avoid the rasp when saying the H in Hello!
