StarCraft 2: LATE GAME INSANITY! (Dark vs Creator) 

"Today we retake our homeworld!"

"all you need is void rays, gold league players have known this for years" never have I felt so called out and properly offended

For the first time, the main objective has been completed

Holy crap what a crazy game, reminds me of a game I watched where there was a crazy base race and seemingly the only unit left on the map was a Zealot, all he had to do was kill the enemy structures. There was a spawning pool and two evolution chambers, he killed one building, and the broodlings that spawned got the zealot to 1/4 HP. The protoss player knew that when he killed the next building, the broodlings would kill the Zealot and the zerg would still have one building left, ending in a draw. So the protoss started attacking both buildings alternating, so that he could kill one building, and then the other building right after, before the broodlings could kill him. He did so, but the zerg player had one drone left and right before he killed the evolution chambers, he started building an assimilator somewhere on the map, so the game had to end in a draw.

8:44 hell yeah it did

The upgrade is: Master Leggy Lighting Shield!

Finished watching it and gotta tell that was the best game i have experienced in ny life! Awesome casting lowko keep up the good work tysm for this cast lowko!

The upgrade is: Majestic electric boogaloo

this was the best starcraft2 game I've ever seen!

The initiatives these pros use is amazing! Blocking surface area with changelings and obscurring vision with overlords is not something I would have thought of at the time.

*sees video length* “This must be quite a crazy best of 3” Nope

Incredible game! Final move with changelings and overlords was nuts, thank you for casting this, Lowko!

creator making 60 zealots at the 50 minute mark: ENTARO TASSADAR! FOR AIUR! also lowko like button has been hit

Lowko man, thank your for that Intro. I missed it so much! Sidenote: i actually kept watching your video because of that energetic intro during a time that was quite hard for me to motivate. I never played SC2 but find myself sometimes watching replays. Lately especially yours. So keep up the great work buddy :).

thumbnail looks like something straight out of the campaign

The fight for that one base shows how amazing Starcraft can be. The game became a resource war at that point and I loved it

I just want to point out that 1 probe survived. Could it be the legendary Probius?

"So they buffed up those protoss units" ... instantly 3 carriers get yoinked and killed

Who would win, a giant flying Protoss city or one grabby boi

Spoilers I thought Creator was gonna throw his army away with that last fight, I didn't realize the last spore was also hiding there xD

Holy insanity! This honestly is one of the best games of SC2 I watched all year!

It's pronounced Jagannatha :P

Jagannaananatha. One day we’ll get that name down.

I just like to point out the insane power levels Zerg still possesses, where they can be equal in Supply maxed out and the protoss can have a 10,000 mineral lead on the Zerg and it can come this close...

That was absolutely insane

Incredible game Incredible casting, your commentary actually made me laugh out loud

That was an incredible match to the bitter end and I like it! XD Thanks for the incredible casts and back to catching up. ^^

The best game of this year

Am I the only one who got chills when the zealots charged the mighty QUEEN horde ???? And them bad boys just sliced right through them !!! INCREDIBLE !!!!

Glad you mentioned this on Twitch today!! I've been hyped since then!

This game was incredible. Thank you Lowko for the great job casting. Hope we'll see more like this!

I don't know how to play SC2 but I keep watching these videos.. this game is fun to watch! I'm learning how the game goes by watching these videos

Amazing game, amazing cast

Tectonic destabilazers, tempest anti ground upgrade, increases ag damage by 40. From tectonic plates, the Earth's crust, and what makes continents.

Creator: why should win so easily when I can make it exciting.

rewatching this 1 again.. that last match was just insanity.. can only imagine what woulda happened if Dark had either 1 or 2 more lurkers.. or 1 or 2 more broods

Two packages of popcorn were eaten during this match. Thx for the video! That was absolutely great :D

I've said it before, but I am so happy to see void rays come back into the meta! Those have been one of my favorite units in the whole game since WoL.

I was yelling for like half the game. "Kill the broods and make a ton of zealots!" It took way too long to get there

I was like, you know protoss has shitload of minerals so zealots will come. Turtle up in a corner blocking a patch with evo chambers with queens behind them. + Transfuse to keep them allive. Use corruptor to destroy the buildings slowly.

Legacy of the Void Cinematic in a nutshell

new tempest upgrade something with t and d at the beginning... Total destruction? Edit: Nevermind there goes my fridge...

"Ja -ga - na - nat - nath - nath - nath - ta" - Best starting quote 2020

14:28 you're not fooling _anyone_ with that edit, Mr. Lowko!

Thanks for the cast!

33:05 this is the commentary I watch these video for.

As you said many times, this match is a great example of unexplored territory and that's what I found most fun about. Unorthodox methods and tatics made for fun time

Your commentary is literally the best. F Starcraft was a popular game, then you would definitely be creator of the year. I hope you always make SC2 content. I’m literally a bot, but I love watching your videos.

37:11 I almost feel like leaving was worse because the tempests still can get their shots off and now you've abandoned them, whereas staying means you still take the shots, but maybe can save one from the corruptor cloud or at least get some kills of your own especially given the resource situation would have been favourable.

Zerg building that costs 30 minerals, it's invisible mine in the ground which on impact spawns broodlings, as every Zerg building after destruction... that could make that function a bit useful even in "not clutch cheesy early" games...

Long but awesome. Love the Mineout makes your decisions so much more intense and impactful.

WHAT!? Tempests now go FireBall Pew pew!?!? Lowko!? what is this?!

The zergling attack at 48 minutes was painful. Creator only had one pylon but Dark didn't attack that pylon and lost a lot of zerglings to the photon cannons.

This was an insane game!

Wow I thought this game was over so many times and I thought it was because of creator punting it with fighting with his split up army, but no, there was much more left. Definitely a great game!

What in the fuck was that conclusion, that fight, Queens vs Zealots. Jesus Christ what a roller coaster of a game.

i really think this is the best game of SC i've ever seen

The late game went from: 2 giant armys facing each other To: Some zealots vs 1 spine crawler. Its evolving, just backwards would fit.

16:30 - Lightning ballz

Started following today but met the channel three days ago! just started in starcraft weeks ago and seeing these videos is such a good time :3

16:25 lowko I believe that upgrade is called pyroblast.

This match is probably the most insane that I have ever seen in my years playing Starcraft

Absolutely best game of 2020, confirmed yet again after watching again

Unbelievable game of Starcraft! Probably my favourite game I've ever seen!

What I was thinking. Two racing powers have exhausted the resources of a map for win. For us humans on Earth there is no win if the other player loses and the winner is left with depleted wasteland.

At 25mins you were wondering why he used Prismatic Alignment, and I think I know why: If the Hydras chose to engage and not run back like they were, there was a chance he could have sniped some Overseers in the process. However, by turning on the alignment he basically guaranteed that the Zerg wouldnt stick around with his Overseers, and since Momma wasn't far that meant Hydras had to run as well.

Great game! Thanks for your casting good sir

Great game! Very nice cast. Many thanks!

*GASP* I need the way you say "Threatening" for a SMS alert.

24:35 not how I expected lurkers to sound

This is the best Starcraft match I’ve ever seen. Insane

Here we go Edit: Can someone continue the explanation for why there is a random Swarm Host sometimes? Lowko kinda got interrupted by that mass void ray attacking the base.

I have to agree. This is the best game I have seen. Like that was ridiculous and I loved it.

Idea for why activate Prismatic something on Void Rays vs Hydralisks: to make them slower, so when Hydras retreat Voids Rays are too slow to catch up and end up in ambush, meaning they all would die.

Incredible!! I think that sums this up

Games like this make me feel good to be alive

I just love your casting Lowko! Keep up the good work!

I think the best game of 2020 is either this or Serral VS Cure where the entire map gets mined out. Both these matches go all the way down to the wire

rodder i like how he says "rather"

Me: this end is going to end any minute now Timer: 12 minutes left

What the heck dude! This game was awesome, that last move by the zerg; the changeling block :D

16:30 Tectonic Destabilizers

Thanks for you'r legendary start! That made my day much better! That game was something special!

That is ez trivia this time: Tempest ground damage: Tectonic Destabilizers, Kinda like that name that’s why I remember it

That was SICK!

i think the reason creator uses prismatic alignment is to protest against the lack of skytoss microability

Love it how many times Lowko says “he should get rid of the hydras” 😂🤣

Bringing back SC1 abilities with the Dark cloud there at the end

I believe Creator might be activating prismatic alignment vs the hydra ball to deal bonus damage if a void ray was to focus an overseer instead, killing it faster since it s armored

It makes the beam THICCCCC!

Haha you sarcasm is next level fun!

TY vs Maru last match is like Terran Skytoss vs Terran Skytoss... very very good game

Best game I ever seen.

that changling wall, lol

I feel like there should be a map with a base in the middle, so there’s an odd amount of bases on the map.

Nice to see some sc2 pvz lategame where the toss actually wins.

Damn if dark would have realized earlier that he has burrow or that one lurker left he might have had a chance cause there wasnt any detection around and that one lurker could have done a lot if there are so many zealots in its path. also Lowkos input at the end to created some kind of wall off with spores could have done s.th. cause there was one brood still left which could have sieged all protoss buildings until they eventually get destroyed

The key to his victory was those brood lord kills. If they stayed alive it would’ve been gg

Looks like we need maps with more minerals and gas :)

Creator has become a much better player. Last year he looked pretty weak against other top players, but now he took this beatiful fight against Dark. Thanks for the cast Lowko.
