    The game is even more impressive when you realize the background...
    * This was the upper bracket final, Bo7 and Serral was already up 3-0. He ended up winning 4-0 even though by all accounts he could have just let this one go, still be 3-1 and get the one needed win later.
    * ShoWTimE was having a great run; in the qualifiers final he beat Reynor to qualify, then at the tourny itself he beat Elazer, maru (sending him to the lower bracket!), Neeb and Lambo through the upper bracket until hitting his head against the iron wall that was Serral in the upper finals.
    * Serral qualified by beating 3 guys 2-0 and then Kelazhur 3-0 in the finals. In the tournament he beat Solar (2-1), Clem (2-0), GuMiho (2-0) and Reynor (3-2) to reach the upper finals where he faced ShoWTimE. During the entire tournament he lost not one game in the qualifier, and he only lost a single game to Solar, a single game to maru and 2 to Reynor, still winning all the matches for a total of: 10-0 in matches, 26-4 in games (in reality 25-4, as that one point advantage in the Grand Finals was a bonus for the upper bracket winner, but still impressive).
    * Maru tore through the lower bracket and in the lower finals rematched ShoWTimE, already deflated after being 4-0'd by Serral and defeated him 4-2. That put him in the Grand Finals against Serral for all the marbles. And then Serral beat him 4-1 to take the tournament.🏆

    Serral: Destroys gold base ten times
    ShowtimE: Leaves gold base open ten times accomplishing nothing, eventually totally abandoning all of his probes to be killed, spending his last minerals on Zealots to defend that never move.
    What a why to throw a game.

    ok, I wasn't convinced the game was that amazing, it felt like a pretty standard long macro ZVP. But that end was incredible. I knew serral had won when he killed the oracle, more so than the tempest the oracle was what kept the army together by providing detection

    I play toss and ShoWTimE is a player I look up to, but this is not GotY.
    Past min 29 gametime Serral is in a chokehold, he's got no mining and no hope of breaking the gold. Tempests can pick at creep and spores all day long. Showtime should have just gotten another oracle, parked the mothership on the gold base and used his air force to pressure the bottom right base, not go sharking around the middle.

    What happens if it’s a small map and the drones attack the opponent right away? Who would win

    • @ReignOfCurtis
      @ReignOfCurtis 2 года назад

      This usually doesn't work and ends in a loss for the attacker. Even if it goes unscouted you're usually at a numbers disadvantage since you have to travel the map and the defender will be making more workers while you travel over there. This means you usually get there and have less workers than them to fight with. The closest thing we usually see from pros is pulling workers WITH an army to commit to an early all in, but even that rarely works from what I've seen.

    I don't understand how pros make dodging storms/fighting through them look so easy when there's carriers, zealots and Archons fighting too. I'm only plat 1 but, once I see that my opponent has storm I immediately feel like I no longer have a chance to do any eco damage and, straight up fights either force me to back off and go back in several times and making seemingly even trades or even favorable ones but, when it's all said and done I always end up eventually getting overwhelmed by prism warp ins...I know from watching so many pro games that at that level storm doesn't seem like an issue but, I feel like in the lower leagues it's not necessarily imba but, I do think it could use a slight nerf...one thing I thought of as a decent idea is, instead of having storm cost only energy, maybe have it also cost a small amount of gas similar to an interceptor. They could also maybe just raise the energy cost just enough so there's maybe one less storm possible on a fully charged templar....
    End rant. lol
    P.S. PiG, you're hands down the best SC2 caster the amount of knowledge you possess and share is honestly extremely impressive. Thanks for making such great content dawg.

    • @Kerostasis
      @Kerostasis 2 года назад

      If there's only a few Templar, you can drain their energy by moving in and out like you describe. If there's a lot of Templar, you need Ultralisks. Ultras can ignore the storms and the carriers, and just a-move at the Templars to chase them away, so the rest of your army can fight safely. You just have to know in advance whether he has like 3 Templar or like 10. And a single Templar can already only cast 2 storms, so you can't really reduce that any further without making the spell terrible.
      What if he has 10 Templar AND like 10 Immortals? That should be super uncommon, but if he does, that's 60 supply that can't attack air, and also isn't great vs lings. Muta-zergling handles that nicely.

    Give the other races the ability to take over enemy units like in the campaign! Neural is a hack for zerg! Ive seen top Protoss players lose like this before when WE All know, they should have won! Eliminate neural and see more gifted players win who are not zerg! Is a hack for Zerg. Serral knows it! It adds more army to the zerg supply that they should not have! Every building also has broodlings that kill your army and broodlings dont cost zerg any supply! Unlimited!!! Give Protoss unlimited flyers, see who wins! The dam* carriers are already slow and expensive! Tons of hacks that favor Zerg army supply. Makes watching championships where Zerg should lose, unfair and boring. And yes... I'm Protoss, so I know and see the zerg hacks. Charge for broodlings, eliminate neural and broodlings in buildings based on the workes pkaced in the buildings by the player! Not auto broodlings that shred enemy units. Allow the other races to research a neural block, give everyone that ability or eliminate it! Unless you want to see all zerg player champions. Too many hacks in favor of zerg! We ALL know it! so do you! I am only interested in championships now the have Terran and Protoss in them! Are there any? You know... not many can overcome the zerg hacks.

      Watching showtimes decisionmaking once he had almost destroyed serrals economy was painful. For roughly 10 minutes he did nothing but take the gold base, move his army to the top of the map, do nothing there, let serral destroy his gold base, move army down, take gold base, move army to the top, do nothing, etc etc etc. Totally agree it was his game to lose.
