@@AnAsianPanda nah they got nerfed extremely hard. try fighting thors with broods you will get slaughtered, the reason serral won was cuz of neural parasyteing half of the thors in the first ingagement and lost cuz not enough infestors for the second time
@@andychau6349 Serral not pushing the last 2 Thor's with those Ravagers were the crucial miss step. If he had done it earlier the SCVs wouldn't have been there to repair and save the last one
I like to think that between the 2 Thors that survived, instead of splitting the repairs on the two, the low one urged the scvs to repair the slightly healthier one instead so they can win since he's most likely to die anyway. Rip to that brave Thor.
Cure's face in the end reiterates the truth that, when you think you can't hold it anymore, same for your opponent. If your mineral is not enough to make another SCV, use that for repair, don't give up.
thors are effective against broodlords because lords are massive, the 250mm high impact payload deals extra damage against massive units, also this fire has long range of 11, which makes them very appropiate to punch off the air these flyer creatures
Harstem Is it Imba or do I suck? I'm the best zerg player in the world and yet I can't win against mech. Thors are broken with their infinite range and can trade so well against zerg's T3 units. In this replay, I had a massive bank but still couldn't win despite me constantly trading and trying to whittle down his slow mech army. I tried every composition and I still couldn't win. Serral
"trying to whittle down his slow mech army" with slow broodlords? What? By throwing units away? By feeding unsupported zerglings to helions? Also Serral has won agains mech plenty of times.
Could you find a closest sc2 game ? The map was fully mined out and after huge tier-3 armies, they ended up in q battle between 1 low health thor againt a roach and a ravager basically
this game is why. 6 broodlords can't kill 2 thors lol. broodlords are meant to be the anti-ground counter and cost a lot more than thors but still they get absolutely wrecked by them. thors are one of the most braindead all-purpose units in the game
I so knew the end of your sentence once I started reading it. There won't be any better, ever. Can't believe that match was in 2010 O.o time sure flies by... I guess Husky casted it but he removed all his vids. Sucks.
This is way closer than a draw. This is all minerals and gas mined out and after all the battles this is the last one and the equilibrium between the two players armies is so ridiculously close that you don't know who's gonna win between a roach + ravager and a Thor
15:50 I'm surprised Serral wasn't attacking his own buildings with the Broodlords to create broodlings and then immediately selecting them and sending them towards Cure's army. Wouldn't that work?
Would deal little damage and quickly get countered by hellbats. But sounds like good idea. At that point any addinotional dmg output is nice. However it could drag you into engagements, which you did not want to take and throw the game. Very risky.
If Cure gets 1 or 2 ravens at the 30 minute mark, he would have devastated Serral with anti armour missile + mass thor/lib anti air splash. Would have been a 3 second fight to remove almost all of Serral's air army. Hope he thinks about it going forward because his strategy was solid.
Really? Anti armor missle? Yeah you should try it in Arcade Unit tester. It basecally makes near to 0 difference against Zerg. Its best in TvsT mass thors or bc, but thats about it It way less than a "nice to have" feature.
@@darkphoenix00001 Yep, works perfectly against roaches, hydralisks, Lurkers, Infestors, even banelings and mutalisk. That was irony you know? This is just to counter broodlords or swarmhosts, otherwise the trade wont be good. As zerg, just a move banelings against hellbats and lings against thors, gg or use one of the other units i mentioned above if you made it to tier 2 Play terran, please, just try it once...
@@theabstract100 all those units you named? thors annihilate them with ease as you can literally see in this video. zerg is making infestors? good, add a couple of siege tanks and scan to win. shows how much you know about the game 😂 you can add a bunch of hellbats and it's a complete composition, only a-move required.
@@darkphoenix00001 Are you an idiot? Cost + Supply. Sure Thors win 1vs 1 against any unit, but they are freakin expensive and cost more supply, add that to your non existing equation and you will start to understand. A Move tanks, you are a genius
Im not a terran player, but I noticed that Cure Switched to high impact on all his Thors. I seriously believe this almost cost him the game as the splash for the bunched up corrupters and the broodlords was too important to pass up. Sure, fully upgraded vs Broodlords, Thors do 43 Damage per shot vs 24 Damage. However, he had SO MANY THORS that he would have 1 shotted piles of the units at once. Worst case scenario two shots.
Not really. The splash mode has long attack cooldown which won't allow them to change the target quite frequently so they overkill on a single bunch of target. Also splash mode's attacks are the prohectile and not hit-scan like the high impact payload so they will all hit on the same target.
I don't get it, why did Serral push with the Ravagers at the end, after killing the tank ? Just retreat, kite and kill the slow-moving Thor. Not THAT easy, but still had a chance... I think. Am I uber-wrong ? Awesome game anyway :)
I have to say it is annoying to watch how shit Brood lords are now. Their range is just pathetic. Pretty dumb to watch Thors snipe BL before those can fire even the first broodling...
The whole concept of broodlords being a ranged air unit whose attack blocks ground units from advancing can only exist if they are weak. Especially the interaction where thors and broodlords counter eachother. Terran doesn't have a hard counter like tempests to use against broods, Thors need to win against broods, but perhaps one could make thors more expensive if terrans winrate vs zerg gets too high.
@@bayanzabihiyan7465 thors and broodlords counter each other?? lmao what game have you been watching, 6 broodlords weren't even able to kill 2 thors despite being more expensive AND being specifically an anti-ground unit 😂
@@bayanzabihiyan7465 I don't know what game you have been playing/watching. BL is supposed to be a ranged unit. Except it really isn't because it's range now is so weak that Thor can pretty much kill one BL before it can fire single broodling. The reason why Serral makes those BLs is because he can't counter that mech army otherwise. And even then the fight is a terrible waste of resources for him. You pretty much give BL +1 range and then it actually can have a proper fight against Thors. It isn't like Thor is the only answer to BLs that Terran has.
Terran vs Zerg is so dumb at times , start of replay Serral is about to "win" then immediately stopped by 1 BC into losing tons of drones....but yea, let's nerf Ultralisk or nerf spore crawler root speed or something Bring back scourges
The title might be a bit sensationalized, but just watch till the very end ;)
Bronze League Hero's came down to 2 Viking pushups
not exaggerated at all! It is the most crazily even and fascinating game !
Maybe not the closest ever but it really had everything, really sick match even if there were closer ones.
Nah, didnt end up feeling baited. Id say the title checks out.
The question mark was really a fantastic play; plenty of room for interpretation :P
RIP the hellions which saved the day throughout the entire game, especially the ones that roasted the infesters neuralling the thors at the end
20:12 Cure dropped a mule just to secure that one last 8 minerals, it's gold
It's mineral!
Imagine that's how humanity survive, that thor and scv will be framed in both history and museum xD
The scv that fixed humanity
Its like the final battle scene from matrix revolutions
SCV: "I can't carry the game for you, but I can carry you!"
Humanity scv
hellions killing the infestors was game changing
yeah blue flame + damage to light they died so quickly
Infestors are armored not light.

I just love tvz, no matter what its always great to watch pros play this matchup
WOW WOW WOW!!!! I was actually holding my breath towards the end!!!
I’m a simple man. I see mass Thors in a thumbnail, I click
When 5 hellions and a Thor decides the winner…What a game!!
Time to call for the SC2HL Jinx. Serral and Maru were just on Kings of Starcraft 2 and now they're losing!
I thought maru is wining recently
that's insane, that's actualy insane
That last Thor is basically Probius's brother from a Terran mother.
Amazing, Cure recovered best play ever since he had
Since he had what? I need to know!
@@crowman1795 before his military service. Cure is a long serving player. He played with Soulkey and Rain
Those millions of zerglings that Serral threw away when he made them face the Helions would have served him well in the end.
Kinda hard to say he threw them away when the other option is to sack that base.
Is it possible to have a high definition video? The video is still abit blur...
isn't repairing super valuable in these late game situations? would love to see it happen much more
I saw a match casted by husky way back on his bronze league heros came down to 2 hp on a single zergling.
The players weren't even on the same continent!

Cure, thanks to you I started to like this game again
Why nobody ever plays broodlords anymore?
The range nerf was quite big, Thors are better now too. And Serral did make over 20 Broodlods in this game, so why are you asking?
Because it's never the same between when you play broodlords against terran mech and when serral plays broodlords
this game is why. 6 broodlords can't kill 2 thors lol. broodlords are meant to be the anti-ground counter and cost a lot more than thors but still they get absolutely wrecked by them. thors are one of the most braindead all-purpose units in the game
