Serial actually started to cheese quite a lot in zvz in 2020 hence he lost quite a lot in that matchup. After that he started to play like a simp again as he worded it himself
1:13 that is not a "bad shade". Both the observer and casters dropped the ball. The showtime clicked the main base of Serral, so the shades are supposed to go through the natural if there is a path. But Serral always blocks of his natural completely with buildings against early adepts, so the shades could not find a pathing to natural. When a unit has no pathing to a spot, they always go to the nearest possible location they can go.
@@DaCooGa I know it, because there is a trick you can do with your workers against a cannon rush. On certain positions, if the protoss blocks your workers with pylons and if those pylons are the closest point to any mineral patch in the map, you can do worker drills and attack them with all your workers at the same time. Especially usefull if the protoss tries to trap your workers fighting the cannons by blocking the way they came from. It actually hurts trapping the workers more than it helps.
@@oguzcanoguz5977 That depends if you can deal with it quickly. Otherwise, you just took a bunch of workers off mining to deal with their one probe, losing you resources vs your opponent.
@@henryviiifake8244 It is not to deal with probe, but with structures. However you are right that it depends, but on a lot more things than just doing it quickly. IT is quite the niche trick.
At 2:40 if you look at the minimap, you can see 2 void rays making its way to the lower right corner, passing by the edge of serral's creep, to a base where there's a drone ready to take the expo. Then you can see Serral pulled back that drone to hide it from the VR, and when the death ships left, he safely morphed it into a hatchery. It's a tiny play but I think that's wicked cool
There is almost nothing as relaxing as listening to Day9 and Rotty cast as I sit on the exercise bikes. Solid vid, crazy games, and great casting as usual!
Damn Serral is so good! In game one when he made it look like he was getting himself stuck inside the natural. Just to bait showtime to follow him so he can sandwich his army with SH from the back. Checkmate move right there.
Confused how commentator thought first game was a "divine" defense by showtime 🤔 He was slowly getting broken down and just 1 misstep away from defeat.. as we ending up seeing. Amazing games as always with these great players though
he sounds like he lives in a sewer pipe and he always overhypes and comes up with long winded stories that don't end up making much sense. And the way he intones is like he's in an american reality tv show. Maybe americans like that showbis crap but to me it's just ugh give it a rest.
Why no battery overcharge in game 3? Genuine question. Would either force the ravagers forward to take it out, but then the VRs can kill off a few - or make the VRs strong enough to take on the queens.
1. Four queens in a droplord is not OK. Should be two cuz queens are big. Otherwise, Hellbats shouldn't take extra space in medivac when transformed and Tanks should take as much space as Hellion, four Archons per prism etc. 2. Armored tag should be back on queens. They are too freaking strong, in fact it is the strongest unit in game (just count the benefits, they are infinite). 3. Zerg economy need to be fixed. Hatchery should cost 400 or should be constructed longer.
Fair criticism, but "Roaches lose their armored tag when they morph into Ravagers" is one of those weird things that even some pros still occasionally forget, since it seems kinda counterintuitive.
@@Kalenz1234 God, yeah I forgot about that one too. Stuff like "Hellions deal bonus damage against banelings" is the same kinda false info that's been circulating since the game first released. It's on people for not checking, but it is kinda weird enough that I get why people get it wrong.
@@fbpo1699 The guy made a bunch of kinda-shitty guides on the game years upon years ago. He's a moron that doesn't even know ravagers and queens don't have an armor type(and never have, btw). Best guess is whatever ventures day9 was involved with in 2020 fell through(because, y'know, covid), and he started doing this side-gig for a game he probably hasn't touched since 2015.
void ray... from super useless unit to a must build early vs zerg, it counters everything and it helped balance the matchup a lot even tho zerg still op lategame

@@dannymish573 That's why I love artosis and tasteless so much. They're making jokes all the time in addition to game analysis while the others are just doing the later (and it's boring).
Is anyone else troubled by the fact that ShoWTimEscouted the taxis early, knows what's going on, and still don't have a good answer? What could Showtime do better here? How does zerg apply that much pressure to toss while ALSO being up in worker? The economic mechanics between zerg and protoss is imba? Is roach ravager queen rush imba or does ShoWTimE suck? So many questions, so few answers
Showtime was 10 workers ahead and went for adept timing aswell as stargate units so he had no real ground army to defend. He was too greedy and going for everything so serral just walked across the map with a large army and punished him.
@@dannymish573 Thats a really weird response from some internet random, who just said two professional players/casters should up their game. Irony much?
I'm so happy hearing Day9's voice
When Serral starts cheesing, you're Finnished.
I have no idea where he finds the time in his Minigolf schedule for SC2.
love the pun you did there
he tried to cheese Dark in the Grand Final and get swept, yucky cheese.
Nice pun
@@tigera6 Everyone knows you can't cheese a cyborg. 🐸☕
Serral must've been distracted by his PGA (mini) golf world tour.

German Taxi is from the lambo king! Glad to see Serral is a man of culture.
I dont think its just serral who does this vs mass voidray
Lambo gang rise up
I believe TLO came up with queen drops two month ago 🤔
I still blame Lambo xD
@@pahakasvivenuksesta2653 its his build, queen drops existed since WoL you cant claim them as yours.

I love hearing Day[9] cast
Indeed!
I'm getting to the point where I watch so much starcraft I've already seen all of SC2HL's uploads, it's making me sad

thanks for your work man, i love the content
7:16 that drone save
glad to see serrals embracing NA culture
serral is so crazy skilled
hmm very interesting Strategies indeed

The fact you don't roll over and die within 30 seconds of Serral attacking is already a Godlike defense by definition.
Serral manages to make Zerg seem incredibly OP.
Not manage... it is when you master it. Mistake with zerg is more forgivable vs terran and protoss.
@@stevesilverwood1564 lol
Serral estás a otro nivel man, para un cacho
excuse me wtf, when did day9 come back? and how do i watch all of it?
IKR!
Why are void rays not doing extra damage vs queens? I thought they are armored?
Not quite, aren’t they Psionic? Hmm
Nah biological, psionic
I think "Showtime" might be one of my favorite pro SC2 user names, it just screams "screen presence"
German taxi against German
was that day9?
im watching this game like stop shuffling your void rays and shOOOT@??!
I missed Day9
Is Day9 coming back full time to cast?
imo he's great for hype but he also appreciates the game on a deep level. i hope he does
I hope not, I'm not a fan of his casting style.
he sounds like he lives in a sewer pipe and he always overhypes and comes up with long winded stories that don't end up making much sense. And the way he intones is like he's in an american reality tv show. Maybe americans like that showbis crap but to me it's just ugh give it a rest.

Skytoss needs ZERO buffs.
Low energy on the Nexus? Maybe oversight by Showtime?
11:29, the battery under the voidrays is overcharged
He'd already used it and it has a long universal cooldown.

yeah
Yeah and rottie
Someone educate me, why is it called a German Taxi?

Zerral 1 numero uno
Lol someone studied TLO

he was talking about hellions

JUST
ATTACK
THE
RAVAGERS
Showtime would have done it if he didnt take 3 megaton economic dmg
That second caster...
Wish Zerg was actually challenging😂would make the game fun to watch
void ray... from super useless unit to a must build early vs zerg, it counters everything and it helped balance the matchup a lot even tho zerg still op lategame
At the top level Zerg is still winning most games against porotos. The game feels more balanced at lower level though (I am diamond 2).
Yeah that serral guy is pretty guy huh
I listened to this and thought, "who the fuck is this day9 knock off caster. My god, he even said, 'humanly possible.' could you be more blatant?" Sooooo it was actually day9
Best of five...are u mad ? where is the rest ?
Not a single storm??? Protoss deserve to die!!
Day9 has a different casting style, still way better choice than zombiegrub and fear dragon..
nah
poodd00
Gg
smh 5 void rays should be able to kill 5 queens. queens need a nerf
Third and cant wait to have me some serral gamed
i dont like this new caster
did this kid just call Day9 a "new caster"?????
Not a big fan of his casting here but I'm glad his back.
What clickbait title is this it's not Serral's strat he just executed it
Day9 sucks so hard as a caster, devoid of any charism. Bring back Zombiegrub, tastosis and feardragon !
>zombiegrub
>Feardragon
Nigga pls.
Yeah Day9 gotta up his game, but imo most of these "professional" casters are still pretty dry.
@@dannymish573 That's why I love artosis and tasteless so much. They're making jokes all the time in addition to game analysis while the others are just doing the later (and it's boring).

There is nothing interesting about seweral, bring on a new champion, Yawn. 🥱
Lol sounds like the caster is stoned. is it just me? xDDD

I guess I'm one of those plebs that enjoys the most entertaining highlights. Definitely other channels for watching the whole matches.
yo I don't know who these casters are but they gotta up their game, lots of incorrect stats and calls in this highlight.
