Vikings got skeeted
Note to self: do not take a fight against deployed interceptors
DAYAMN that last battle against the vikings was such clutch timing.
All hail the Star Man!
you have a true talent commentating. great video
Another English teacher here. I don't really endorse "slown", but I do endorse your pronunciation of Neo-(h)umanity like in traditional New York accents (Bernie Sanders, Carl Sagan, etc.)
don't complain about being self employed with 500k subscribers. it'll bite you back. Trust me.
Or you can go work 40h a week on a shit job and complain about that. Idk.
winter ftw!
In the depths of the stars, where Protoss thrive,
A nursery rhyme of Probes, let me contrive.
Listen closely, young Templar, to this tale,
Of tiny Protoss workers that never fail.
Once upon a time, in the vast expanse,
A newborn Probe began its graceful dance.
With a gleaming shell, so sleek and bright,
It embarked on a mission, day and night.
In the Khala's embrace, it found its way,
To gather resources without delay.
With plasma torches burning so fine,
It harvested minerals, divine.
Little Probe, oh so diligent and true,
Swiftly it moved, its work it would pursue.
It built pylons, empowering our might,
Extending the reach of our cosmic light.
Through shimmering warp gates, it traveled afar,
To construct structures where battles would spar.
Cannons and gateways it skillfully erected,
Aiding our cause, always protected.
But amidst the chaos, it never fought,
A humble worker, its purpose untaught.
It sparked the warp-in of armies bold,
With Psionic Matrix, their power untold.
In the heart of a base, it'd find its rest,
Recharging shields, on duty it'd invest.
For a Probe's mission, you see,
Is to serve the Protoss, selflessly.
So remember, young Protoss, as you grow,
Like the Probe, let your diligence show.
With unity and purpose, we'll prevail,
A nursery rhyme of Probes, let it unveil.
Twinkle, twinkle, little Probe,
In the cosmos, you do probe.
With your plasma torch so bright,
Gathering resources every night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little drone,
Constructing structures all alone.
Pylons powering our might,
Spreading our celestial light.
Twinkle, twinkle, worker true,
Warping armies to break through.
Cannons guard our sacred ground,
With you, victory is always found.
Twinkle, twinkle, steadfast friend,
On our missions, you depend.
Harvesting the minerals so grand,
Building a mighty Protoss land.
Twinkle, twinkle, guiding star,
With you, we travel far.
Through warp gates we swiftly glide,
In battles, we stand side by side.
Twinkle, twinkle, noble Probe,
Protoss unity you evoke.
In your humble, diligent way,
You serve our race without delay.
Twinkle, twinkle, shining bright,
A beacon in the darkest night.
Oh, little Probe, we honor you,
For all you do, so pure and true.
Twinkle, twinkle, our guiding light,
With your help, we shall take flight.
In the cosmos, we'll leave our mark,
Protoss strength, forever stark.
Oh, gentle Probe, with your probing gaze,
You navigate space in mysterious ways.
Seeking out resources, you tirelessly roam,
Your touch upon minerals, a tantalizing tone.
Your sleek exterior, so polished and gleaming,
A symbol of prowess, in everyone's dreaming.
But beyond your facade, a secret lies,
A duality of purpose, hidden from prying eyes.
With your plasma torch aglow, you ignite,
Not just the resources, but hearts take flight.
As you harvest minerals, sparks start to fly,
In whispers and winks, desires multiply.
Your delicate maneuvers, precision so rare,
Evoke passions within, a sizzling affair.
Constructing structures, erecting with flair,
A dance of creation, oh so debonair.
Yet, amidst your duty, a playful charm,
A twinkle in your eye, causing hearts to warm.
You spark the imagination, igniting the flame,
Double entendre, your poetic game.
So, little Probe, with your clever disguise,
You elicit both laughter and longing sighs.
In this cosmic journey, where legends unfurl,
Your double entendre, a delightful whirl.
But remember, dear Probe, as you slyly play,
To respect boundaries, and in a tasteful way.
Let innuendo sparkle, but never offend,
For humor and wit, our joys transcend.
Ghosts are op. Terran in general just have a perfect tool for everything.
14:24 yup, sound like a very balance unit.
Actually as an American speaker personally the utterance of words as long as understood upon the ears they fall or vibrate into fulfill their desired purpose the correct pronunciation is irrelevant therefore speaketh how thou wilt and yeehaw
30:00 lowko! you're forgetting warp gate! that'd be the most important one to marry
Chatgpt wrote a sonnet.
In realms unseen, where stars ignite the skies,
Amidst the cosmic tapestry it soars,
The Probe, a vessel born of boundless rise,
A herald from the distant Protoss shores.
Its crystalline shell gleams with radiant hue,
A conduit of knowledge, swift and bright,
Through nebulae and galaxies it flew,
To build the future in the void of night.
With purpose keen, it deftly scans the land,
Harmonious hum of beams in its wake,
From mineral fields, energy unmanned,
It gathers essence for the race's sake.
Oh, Probe, the beacon of technological might,
In your humble form, a universe takes flight.
As twilight casts its glow upon the skies,
The Probe, a sentinel of ancient grace,
Bears witness to the Protoss' ancient ties,
A race that strives for honor and embrace.
With nimble touch, it sets foundations deep,
Constructing pylons in a sacred art,
A network strong to channel power's leap,
Binding the Protoss, never to depart.
In battles fierce, it stands with steadfast will,
A scout, a shield, a harbinger of doom,
Its lasers fierce, a testament to skill,
Reducing enemies to ash and gloom.
Oh, Probe, your loyalty beyond compare,
In silent vigil, we know you're always there.
Through warp gates' shimmer, it emerges bright,
The Probe, a symbol of tenacity,
Embarking on its purpose with delight,
To build and forge a lasting legacy.
In twilight's grasp, it navigates the field,
A testament to Protoss' ancient might,
Constructing structures, ever unconcealed,
Transcending boundaries, reaching for the light.
With glowing eyes, it surveys realms unknown,
Unraveling the secrets of the stars,
Through trials faced, its spirit has now grown,
Embracing fate, transcending battle scars.
Oh, Probe, a beacon of Protoss design,
In each endeavor, may your purpose shine.
So let us raise our voices to the sky,
In honor of the Probe, steadfast and true,
A celestial envoy passing by,
From the vast reaches of the Protoss crew.
May its journey guide us to uncharted spheres,
Expanding knowledge, forging paths untrod,
With every pulsar, every plasma sear,
Together we'll transcend, we'll rise, we'll nod.
For in the heart of every Probe's bright core,
Lies the essence of Protoss' unity,
A testament to all we dare explore,
A symphony of boundless destiny.
Oh, Probe, a symbol of our hopes untold,
In you, our future and our dreams unfold.
44:05 that was quite an epic fight 🙂
What's your name
wow, skytoss win??!!
back when i was learning Japanese i liked listening to little kids that were learning Japanese because they enunciate a lot which made it easier to tell what they were saying and to help me break apart the words to deduce what was being said from the few words i knew.
as far as slown goes, it has to do with the nature of language. language is a medium of communication, which seems obvious but English is a merging of many different languages and a shared language is one of the cornerstones of a unified culture. this means that England used to have a real hard time keeping itself together under the King, so the idea of an official language was taken much further than other nations and different dialects were stamped out of existence. this worked and the kingdom became an empire which meant different kingdoms under one rule, and different rather distinct cultures under one rule. with different cultures it becomes much more difficult to keep a single dialect, and so there are words that are not official that are used in English because they come from different dialects, which officially English does not recognize existing. slown is an alternative to slowed, based on the dialect of English. if people understand and use the same words as you do then you are speaking the language just fine, you just might be a rebel among rebels though.
Game 2 is some Star Crafts Season 1 stuff. Very nostalgic. <3
English is a weird language. But slow is a regular verb so it's the standard 1-1-1, past tense slowed, not anything funky. But we always know what you mean and your mistakes are part of the fun, so don't sweat it.
"Astrea's pick up game is amaaaaazing." 😂🤣
No, it is not an ackshually, "slown" is not a word. Repeat, "slown" is NOT a word.
And before anyone "language-evolves-bro"s me, I believe definitions are prescriptive, not descriptive. Lowko saying it doesn't make it a word.
Disruptors are terrible, and the third game is an example of why: they count on your opponent screwing up and getting hit by them.
Imagine how much better the whole situation would be if Protoss had Reavers back, just with Scarab AI that actually works.
Slowed down***
I'm almost positive since he's from Mexico and the way it's spelled…it's Spe-Shee-Al….like the Spanish way to pronounce special.
Ghost are good against any Protoss unit.
45:58 removing 50% of the army's health is now merely "softening it up"? Oh wow.
I can tell you, as an American, I couldnt care less about grammar. Intent is much more important to me. If you say slown instead of slowed, I still know you meant the economy of said player is suffering. People who fix your grammar unprompted have low self-esteem and need a boost to make themselves feel better.
You're the best SC2 caster Lowko, keep up the great work!
^ Engligh professor
AKCHUALLY it's "conjugation."
<3
how do you counter the force shield in the ramp as zerg?
Game number 2 was really well played by Astrea; that was very cool to watch.
As a side note: "American Protoss"…are Americans becoming pro? Honest question. I know Sweden, the Uk…ish, Germany, and obviously South Korea, have been pumping out pros but, NA? America?
Honestly, I don't follow the scene, I'm just here for Lowko.
