"Sir, a lost probe is calling for a Nexus"
"Hmmm... it's an old code, but it checks out"
"Are you sure sir, the last time..."
"Send it in."
Lore-wise, there are both good and evil factions in all three races, so if Scarlett is Kerrigan (good) fighting against the Tal'darim protoss (evil) then it's Artanis (good protoss) sending in the nexus. If she's an evil zerg, then it's a Tal'darim nexus getting warped in to help out, that just needed that one enemy probe to trigger opening the portal.
"You missunderstand, i didnt suck at spreading creep, i wanted to place a nexus later on" -lowko on the next episode of harstems iodis
wrr
Grabbing an already finished coffee mug is one of the most depressing realizations in life...
I feel this way when you go to open the box of pizza and realize you have no pizza slices left...
Or opening a fridge that is empty
no such thing as depresx or have or for or etc or not, ceptuxuax, do, be, laux, can do, be, laux etc any nmw and any s perfect
First world problems.
Until you realize you can just make more coffee.
In Brood War, the factions' supply caps are separate (Supply(T), Psi (P), Control (Z)) so mind controlling workers lets you extend your army size beyond 200 supply.
There is even a game mode, where you start as one race but have a worker from the other two aswell. Potential for 600 vs 600 games. Don't remember what that mode is called right now. But it is missing in SC2 last time I checked.
@@weepingscorpion8739 Team Melee I think. It's where multiple players control the same units, and if the additional players choose different races the starting workers will reflect that.
@@davidmariaschin2485 Yeah, Team Melee sound familiar. I think you are right.
I wish sc2 was like that
There's custom maps/gamemodes in sc2 where u can have dark archons and every other unit from brood war
Ok, that recall on the broods was the coolest shit ever!
Man you are so young
Aren't we all
wrgg
While the recall was a cool move, Lowkos' reaction was the real shit here. 🤣
There was a time when I tried every matches to build nexus as a zerg. It is obviously very hard since you lost concentration for the other tasks but when it succeed it s just glorious. Like this time when I won against a terran player as a zerg by building a command center (way harder than a nexus) and building a lot of battlecruisers.
Scarlett being Scarlett is always fun to watch. Great video! Hope everyone has a great day!
Is it really Scarlett being Scarlett if there are fewer than 190 drones and the creep hasn't reached the opponent's mineral line yet?
Yeah, he's a great player.
@@zStC1 ohhhh, edgy!
@@Warrigt I'm sure he went to his mom afterwards because he cut himself on his own edge :D
@@zStC1 Yeah, she is, isn't she! :)
29:05 thats when the probe got abducted and killed immediately lol
Everyone except Serral: Zerg is unplayable now! Zerg is extinct above Master league!
Serral: *Shows up to worlds. Wins a flawless victory as Zerg. Refuses to elaborate. Leaves.*
Good, fook zerg
If Terran does not build Ravens against late game Zerg, you will LOSE.
That happens when you usually play the race that has all the advantages and a smidge of your advantages are taken away. When you live in privilege , equality seems like oppression.
what does Your copy pasta have to do with the video?
She pulled off the meme, Scarlett is now Queen 👑

@@JaysSavvy @JaysSavvy She chose to be a woman. You don't need to like it, but you need to accept her choice. Her pronoun is "she", not "he".
@@vargad3919 Don't bother, they are always the same trolls/bots under every single Scarlett videos. It's like they are obsessed with her.
"She" is a transgender and I would never be attracted by a woman that was once a man.
@@JaysSavvy You are too obsessed with Scarlett XD
Scarlett would have played that differently without the nexus recall, the ability to recall allowed her to manipulate Gunfu into catch-22. It's great to see that get turned around on a Protoss.
Read the title and my brain went thusly, "Well, Dark Archons can do that, and there's been all these SC1 tech games. I guess maybe Scarlet is playing Protoss for fun?"
I am not a smart man.
Now that just makes me want to see someone go SC1 Protoss, get a Dark Archon, and then mind control a SC2 Probe and be the ultimate Protoss army :D
And you can do exactly the same thing with SC2 Zerg.
I think she recalled broods again at 41:07 (check the minimap near the GungFu's base)
Good catch!
"she"

Story time! Back in WoL beta during an ffa, i was zerg, there were two Terrans and a Zerg 2. Terran 1 planetary fortress rushed with his main (the spawns were very close by air) into my main. It failed and he left, but left a couple scvs in the corners. Naturally i built about 6 infestors asap to chain neural an scv into building me a CC while Zerg 2 killed Terran 2. By the time Zerg 2 kills Terran 2, Zerg 2 has lots of ling bling muta, but it wasn’t ready for Marine Medivac Roach XD
38:50 for using the protoss tech
amazed
I wonder if uprooted zerg static defense or flying terran buildings will also be recalled by the protoss ability.
That is a good question, you should test it
Any news teasting?
I usually wait to watch but I had to watch immediately when I saw the title. The Queen of Blades pulls a fast one.

@@user-uy8wx4pk4h He's talking about Scarlett, not the caster
That recall was just... chef's kiss.
I appreciate you're clean with your language. I usually watch your casts downstairs while I cook or do somthing else and the kiddos come in and watch too. All under 7 btw. They recgonize "starcraft" now.
Anyways I tried out another caster (Who had done more of the Evolution matches) and he just started dropping F bombs among other things and i had to turn it off.
SO yeah. I appreciate you're clean. Keep it up xD
I don't mind the swearing myself, but I really respect that you're trying to bring Starcraft to your kids. Yeah, Lowko is definitely one of the more family-friendly casters, though he occasionally does curse, and there's usually a bit of innuendo (a joke for the parents) once per cast. Artosis is a weird one, when he's in his "professional caster" persona he's extremely good, but once he gets into his "streamer" persona the casts usually take a turn for the worse. His Brood War casts are almost always great though. The ASL English Tastosis casts are generally family-friendly, but there is the occasional swearing, usually from Artosis when he complains about Protoss (i.e. his stream persona comes through). The other 2 Dutchmen (Harstem and uThermal) have gotten a little more sweary over the years, but Harstem's casting channel specifically is still quite good.
Yeah don't watch PiG unless there's absolutely NOBODY else around. It's so cringey it's painful. I just started to avoid his casts all together recently. He'd be a good caster if he wasn't so uncomfortable to listen to.
Winter and Lowko are about equally clean. Harstem, swears a little but kinda clean - I'd recommend his Rank Roulette if you're new to the scene. PiG, avoid at all costs. Uthermal, pretty clean too, but he mostly just does cheese challenges against low ranked players so I don't watch him much.
@@grigorsamsa6564 It's not weird that he uses clean language when he's casting at a tournament and says whatever he wants when he's on his own stream. He's getting paid for the former by another institution.
@@justsaying102 Man, what are you talking about? I love Pig. He definitely has the most insightful channel (along with Tasteless and Artosis). I mean, it's not even close when you compare it to any of those other guys you mentioned, including Harstem. Yes, he can get a little carried away with the jokes/innuendos sometimes, but most of the time it's right on point in terms of casting. Otherwise, you just get guys like Lowko saying pedestrian stuff like, "+1 Armor is about to finish up." 😴
Scarlett loves teasing her Protoss game
*his
it's widely accepted z is far stronger than t or p and has been since hots. toss is a joke to the point half of their units get countered by 25 mineral units with 35hp.

@@user-uy8wx4pk4hTHANK YOU, THANK YOU for being real
The Queen of Psi Blades returns
Love seen Lowko giddily focus on the Nexus 😂 That play was super cool, always love the possibility of stealing a probe for the Zerg 🎉
TL:DR - Zerg builds a Nexus does nothing with it.
I played brood war when I was like 5-6 with one of my friends, one of my favorite memories was when we had a 2v2 against ai, he was protos and I was zerg. He mind controlled an scv and built a command center just for me to attack and infest it, and I gave him one of my drones as a trade
This was such a GLORIOUS game to watch! In all my years playing and watching Starcraft II had I ever seen broodlords get recalled!
I stopped playing starcraft many years ago, but this was really cool to watch and see how pros play
Last fight: the zerglings maybe didnt kill the stalkers, but stopped them while the brood dropped on the Immortals.
Mandatory lunch break 😂
Doing this at pro level is insanely difficult to being with. Pulling off a hail mary recall with the broods is so perfect troll. Scarlett is Kerrigan.
Man, I been watching you awhile now, and I don't think I've ever heard you get giddy as you did when you realized Scarlette was recalling the Broodlords and almost took the game at 38:55!
That excitement and chuckle is something only SC nerds can appreciate.
Man, Scarlett is so gooood! I missed watching her games!
amazing game!
You only have to take one probe and make one nexus, but it already grants you SO MUCH flexibility for your slow army!
Brood War Dark Archon: They took err jerbs!
the best thing to do in brood war, and by best i mean fun, was stealing a second race
28:05 scarlett builds the nexus
i remember a similar game you caste in 2019-2020 where scarlet made a mama ship after neuring a probe
Lore accurate invincible combination
I love how the phoenix arrived at the main base ON TOP OF THE NEXUS and Gungfu didn't seem to notice at all. But what I love more is how it arrived SECONDS after the Zealot wave, and Lowko took a minute or so.
Why does psionic storm damage protoss shields? It should transfuse archons.
think about ultras with mediveks ...
Or imagine not having to drone as a Zerg and mining with mules... The problem is building a CC will take 6-7 extra neurals. I don't know who can even pull that in a real match. Yeah, once you tech up, Zerg with late game Terran benefits would be brutal. But how do you survive that long?
Spoiler Shield! Like this comment to ensure others aren’t spoiled by the top comment!
We need Lowko to stop spoiling too
This is a great idea lol
Bump
@Kalahomoboy but a lot of times, the clickbait title is the loser. Crafty!
Rodger and thank you for the shield.
God's work my son
once in a 4v4 I infested a probe, made a nexus, gate and robo bay then nydus'd a bunch of collossi into the enemy base. they completely lost their shit at the sight of it! XD
Lol. It was what Lowko called for since the beginning of the video. Then he concludes it was the game winning play!
have never watched a video on this game in my life but here i am 20 min through
I wish we could see Scarlett’s face while she’s doing all that with the drone/Nexus
I have it right here
:3
We know what you're doing Lowko, this is a ploy to make us watch a ZvZ
*and I love it!*
He missed the second recall
"What does zerg build in the lategame?" -- more troops.
I think that an oracle would probably be the most meaningful unit to make to catch them off guard with a stasis
Follow the way of Monika I see
they both seemed rather unfocused, like it was the last match in a long series, but it lead to a very fun and scrappy game
Back in brood war I remember being able to steal scvs and drones with a dark archon and then you would have separate supply caps for each race. Would love to play on Big game hunters and try to have 3 armies at a time.
Say you're playing the SC2 zerg versus SC1 zerg in that one mod... will your upgrades count for the other version of the same race too?
As someone who goes out of there way as zerg to kidnap probe's it is the funniest thing to see the protos watch your army disappear to God knows where and just be baffled😂😂
Ultrarisky? Ultralisky?... totally made my day 😆Even though (or maybe because of) the silence following had some 'tchirp' 'tchirp' thumbleweed flavour to it, I for one was laughing. xD
"Not trying to sound like a biased caster but-"
Proceeds to do nothing but compliment and gush over the protoss player for the next 20 minutes XD
Observers would be funny, because you would not expect the Zerg to have invisible detectors '-'
Scarlett is criminally underrated ngl
Thinking about the probe steal and what you can do with it. First what you shouldn't be able to do is use protoss units to a overwhelm the protoss. No matter what you build the protoss will be leagues ahead on tech for that. There aren't many combos unlike with terran who could potentially build medivacs to heal high value units or even keep an flying death ball topped off. But what you can do is cheese the protoss with protoss units.
1. You can build a nexus and recall, but more importantly you can build a mother ship to do an aggressive forward teleport and recall your army back. Depending on enemy army position you can potentially take free bases and get back to defend against counter attacks.
2. The motherships cloak is an automatic bonus for messing with the opponent, they now have to have observers with army and if they get sniped that's going to be an expensive loss.
3. Another one for mothership column, time warp, being able to hit the Protoss army with a that ability every 89 seconds. Do it once they will be annoyed, do it 2+ times and they will be on forums demanding nerfs.
4. Build oracles and abuse stasis traps. Sure people can cope with them but dealing with those traps on top of dealing with all the variables zerg inherently brings is going to get overwhelming if you put enough traps out there.
5. Sentry - While guardian shield may have a questionable value against end-game protoss units. A strategic placement of force fields against an opponent that was only expecting a zerg bag of tricks is kind of mean.
6. Lastly my favorite. Why didn't you build detection for dark zealot backdoors? because you thought you were playing against a zerg.
I watched this on Pig's channel and it was so cool seeing it again and comparing how you two view the matchup and gameplay.
15:11 I'll have you know the Zealots Union is VERY strict about mandatory breaks.
For protos there should be a way to teleport probes back to fleet and get half of the minerals instead of sacrificing them.
Keeping that probe alive, gave me serious starship troooer vibes with the brain bug😂
Dont ever change lowko! Be the constant!
Let's say there is a mod, where you choose to start of as one of the 3 races. But from your nexus/hatch/cc you have the option to build any of the 3 workers. You can then build any building and unit within the 200 supply as long as you use the worker from that race to build. All structures allowed to build on creep.
What unit combination are you going with for:
Early aggression Mid game Late game
Everyone chooses hatchery because of how many units it can spawn without the need to construct any other type of barracks other than for tech up reasons unless one assumes you can only build zerg units from hatchery despite having tech from other races. So those are the fundamental questions to be answered first.
id love to see a real time workers lost icon
I was so preoccupied by that Nexus, I’ve wanted to see that in a real match for 15 years (sc1)
Thanks for the video, Lowko. Scarlett was trying to carry on the legacy of Amon.
What was the purpose of the probe? Probaganda!
I've never seen this before. Didn't know you could do that
bruh why are people fighting in the comments about her gender? mf can play starcraft, isnt that what matters?
29:04 I play too much Coop mode, so I forgot that Creep is supposed to keep Terran and Protoss from building on there!
The queen of probes!
Fungal into storm was my first thought but I think a stasis ward for the ground army of the skytoss would be perfect to clear the field for the corruptors doing the good old lowko maneuver. Especially when its not scouted it would hit the toss so offgourd. Ofcourse, also hard to set up this trap and needs time and resources, but I honestly think besides this trap, an oracle would fit really well into the sky zerg army.
I can't believe my eyes, a recall on a zerg army was genuinely used at the pro level in a 1v1 and the zerg player went on to win the game. I cannot stop laughing
Lowko: I don't want to be biased
Also Lowko: I like Zerg
I think I've seen Flo stealing a probe, bashing his whole army onto his opponent's defense, and them suddenly revealing his Golden Armada.
Question: In this situation - if you research upgrades of Protoss by Zerg - will you get the additionall bonuses to Attack / Defence ?
its always funny when the UFO is the one getting abducted
U forgot to make the "nice!" sound when the nexus was done or when the recall happened! xDD
That map's color palette makes it look like i wish SC2 had looked like.
This happened once years ago. It was hilarious.
That was glorious. That kind of crazy is why I have been a looong time Scarlett fan 🙂
I recall one video of just Monica Zerg build up to infestor then steal a probe and surprise its energy Protoss with Zerg golden Amanda composition.
My first guess when i saw this was that it was for sentries, zerg deathball supported by guardian shield and force field would be pretty scary!
Dunno if recall was game changer, but it made quite the impact! :P
Also, of course for the memes! :D
Thanks for the video!
This is some Broodwar level of play with Dark Archon.
That's some yuri's revenge shit brooo
DUDE I love PvZ Matchups (Plants VS Zombies)
I'm now thinking of sending the probe through the nydus to the opponent's base, then cannon rushing. Not a lot of setup needed. One nexus, probe, pylon, and forge to start up the shenanigans.
The reinforcing stalkers are engaged by the zerglings, so there's not enough anti-air to take out the broodlords.
Scarlet recalled recalling her broods
That was a very good game
Hear me out.
As zerg, use a probe to build three warp gates and build some zealots. If you have enough, mix 'em with a bunch of changelings and yolo them into the enemy base.
Won't change enything by itself, but may just throw off your enemy hard enough to score with your main army.
I played starcraft for 10 minutes but I allways click when I see a Scarlett video
Yea I watched uthermal do this awhile ago !
How we know "IIIIIIIIIIII" is Scarlett!? Yes I counted. XD
It's alright the water is coffee flavored.
was hoping for a base race into recall haha
I have a feeling the probe was going to be for making a 2nd nexus for a second possibly more offensive recall later but it didn't pan out or didn't end up being needed.
