AHHHHHHH!!! CaptAwesome here!! I haven't been ranked in about 5 or 6 years, and that was my first placement match of 2023. I literally downloaded and played a placement match just because of how much I enjoyed your viewer-submitted games cast a couple weeks back. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAST MY GAME!!! THANK YOU!
@@borunationliquidpedia has most of the commonly played build orders and the pros names who developed them if you’re looking for that. You know what an even more valuable tool is though? Your replays. Find out why you lost and correct it. If you do that enough times you just stop losing.
"This is a man with a lot of vision who's very blind" WOW BARS! Lowko, love when you cast viewer submitted games, by far my personal favourite! All the best to you and yours!
8:25 sometimes spine crawlers pull the corpses of the unit they kill, and then that got combined with the water physics and the difference in elevation between the drone and the spine
For Lowko's convenience - a shorthand list of simple boomer names for Queens and other units ;p Male - Danny, Donny, Eddie, Frank, Gary, Greg, Jimmy, Johnny, Larry, Marty, Mikey, Ray, Steve, Tommy, Willy Female - Betty, Brenda, Carol, Debbie, Donna, Elaine, Janet, Judy, Katie, Kathy, Liz, Mary, Pam, Susan
In all fairness to Vincent, the fact he had foresight to build even a single defensive Photon Cannon while cannon rushing, and then backed off it and tried to expand, means he's a step above most cannon rushers on principle Also, I thought Page 2 of the Protoss Book of Cheese was Dark Templar? My copy must be outdated
5:00: No, i really enjoy casts of Gold or even Silverleague matches:-) There is not the speed and action all the time but at least i can refer it a bit more to my games haha. As always great cast and i certainly enjoy all the pro content of yours, too! Thanks Lowko!
17:12 since the macro was so bad, if I was him I was just making a ton of spines and just walk them to fitzroy's natural ( which is in the other side of the map but that's isn't and issue ) edit: Bro I've just heard lowko saying what I thought
man i love these so much but they are also so stressful. The surprise ending in game 2 i didnt see coming. and lowko shame on you for not titling that first game game of the year on one of your last chances to have another game of the year.
I believe the way to do spines against a Zerg is to build the proxy hatch in the 3rd, or not even in a base. Somewhere close by walking distance but not visible from the straight line between bases. The first 3 larvae become drones, which become spines. A couple more drones from the main. Then 5 spines get uprooted and rooted in the opponent’s second.
Really funny games to watch! Based on the first game though when you mentioned the ranked roulette, maybe it could be a fun addition for you to guess the ranks if you can hide them/don't look at them on the loading screen somehow? Might make it more interesting for us to guess at the same time too! Thanks for the amazing videos!
I feel like game 1 was a fine example of players who know a fair bit of theory, but don't have a lot of practice. There were a lot of good ideas that were just executed really, really badly.
The only way these could be better is if Rushi cast them with you to interject American slang and terminology. My only critique is that Gertrude is 100% NOT a boomer name in America IMHO. I'd start going with boomer millennial names like Sara or Kate next time there are too many queens :) Also I am 100% that canon rusher who goes down two leagues when my canon rush fails.
I am very, very sorry to say, Lowko, but every time you said Fitzroy's name, my brain wanted to assume that you are trying to say Viceroy, but with your Dutch accent :D sorry
