Let's just agree the hold from 19:30 - 21:00 is probably among the very best omfg how did you hold that with that few losses moments that I have ever seen. Maybe if not the best. Still floored he somehow didn't lose a single drone in there, that was a one in a million hold from Serral.
Guys, listen... a) Don't upload half of a set in one day. b) Don't call a "game" a "set". A set is bo3, bo5 etc. c) Don't label the uploads by which games they have. That's spoilers. I repeat, that's spoilers. If you can't upload in one video, call it "part 1, part 2" and so on.
Simo Vihinen, you aren't wrong, but what the hell are you talking about "spoilers"? It's a seven game series, we see seven games, that tells us what? That it went the distance. If we only saw four games, then, okay you have a point, but seven? I can't speak for you, but I'm not gonna bitch about a finals match that isn't a sweep....
Team Red Shirt: It's not a very popular opinion that knowing how many games were played is not spoilers... It spoils the result of at least some of games 4-6 depending. In this case, game 6. What does this have to do with bitching about how the games happened to be??
Simo Vihinen, when I said *I* wouldn't bitch about more than four games, I was referring to so many past GSL finals which have been so often one sided if not outright sweeps, though you seem to be a bit new to SC2, so you didn't get that reference, my bad. As for the rest of it, it's completely irrelevant, because YT doesn't matter for shit to Afreeca. Nor does anything we could say to them here. Next time you have your know-it-all cap on and decide to complain about something you have no power to correct, remember that before Afreeca showed up, GSL was hardly even present on YT, had a brutal price tag attached to high Def and VOD access, wasn't replayed outside of KR primetime, and most importantly, would never have held a tournament like this, because they cared little to not at all about non-Korean viewership.
Team Red Shirt: Well actually it's more like you wouldn't bitch about it... and I wouldn't bitch about it... and I didn't bitch about it... and nobody did. It's a strange thing to complain about in the first place: whose fault is it supposed to be? If YT doesn't matter to Afreeca then what I've said won't help or hurt anything. Worth a shot though. If I had the power to correct this, I'd have went ahead and corrected it first before complaining. All the credit to whoever is responsible for uploading this, I think it's great it's up here. My points still stand though. I'm assuming anyone doing the uploading has reasons to do so. Of course if it wasn't uploaded, you also couldn't get spoiled in this particular way for what happened. You can go watch it on Twitch. Actually, if there was no such tournament, they wouldn't be getting as many international viewers, would they? I'm sure where the viewers are from isn't so important unless it has a direct link to the efficacy of their methods of monetization. If they had nothing but Korean sponsors, for example, then presumably their sponsors not present on the international market would prefer more domestic viewers. I don't know. Anything else? Are we going to talk about privilege at all?
Game 4 of this series (13:40) was such a good match. Back and forth, forth and back... So much skill on both sides. Ever so satisfying to watch the best play the best.
Just finished downloading it....i taught dota2 is the hardest game to master....clearly im wrong...so much unit to control...these players played like a machine or better!!
sorry this reply is 5 years late I never knew this until you asked and looked it up. Immortal has a barrier shield that lasts for 2 seconds and absorbs 100 damage, so by hitting them one time with the mutas it sets that off so that when the roaches hit 2 seconds later none of that damage gets absorbed and 6 immortals means up to 600 damage negated in those first 2 seconds. this video explains it: The barrier shield can only be activated once every 32 seconds. ruclips.net/video/xDDAHNETEW4/видео.html
Why is psi-storms good against everything? Is there any other unit that counters everything like high templars do? Do they really think that is good gamebalance? Can someone please explain this to me!
The storms in this game were just phenomenal. Usually you don’t get to land such good storms and protoss still lost. They really aren’t that good against broodlord. Stats only relied on them because he scouted so late, he didn’t have many other options
Why does there seem to be a growing number of haters of Serral, maybe haters is too strong of a word, but those who say he is 'overrated', 'boring', moving the goal posts of his abilities etc...? I have this feeling, if Serral was a Protoss player, he wouldn't get as much undeserved flak.
@Franco Roland In my eyes every player of any game(Except PaschaBiceps) looks like a school shooter to me. Well, about 80% of population look like school shooters or phat shitz. But looks doesn't matter.
23:25 I don't like to disagree to Artosis, but an Immortal is not the worst unit against a Broodlord. they kill the broodlings very nicely. not the Lords though. but as support for archons or stalkers they doing great vs. Broodlings.
Vipers are so op. How do you pull a tempest and much less a mothership with a viper? A mothership is about 3 times the size of a viper o.o Imba zerg is imba..
29:31 Artosis is so close to Tasteless, it's like what? lol. Trying to fusion-ha? It caught me off guard because tiny things like one step in positioning can look really different on camera.
Philippe durrer roach cheap as hell. Also, its not like immortals are op vs roach, it takes 3 or 4hits to kill a roach... its just that anything else is even wealer vs roach
You missed the part wher Serral triggered the Immortal Shields before the Roachs engaged. The Immortals without their Hardened Shields fall easily to a pack of roachs. If he does that without doing that... Serral doesnt have that much Roach left
Ekaf Eman A immortal takes 3 shots to kill a roach... its not that their good vs roach, they aremt that good, ite just that we dont have anything else. Protoss is super nerfed in LOTV, in HOTS we were good.
They kind of are OP against Roaches because Roaches are Armored and Immortals deal bonus damage against Armored units. In fact, to non-Armored they deal 20, while to Armored they do +30 (for a whopping 50 dmg per hit). Because of their 145 health and only 1 armor, Roaches go down in 3 Immortal hits (with no upgrades on either side), while an Immortal can survive upwards of 26 Roach hits if he has Barrier available.
@@octav3k Also, immortal costs 250/100, while roach costs 75/25. U can have almost 4 roaches per immortal. And for immos to be effective, u need zealots sentries and all that stuff. Zerg needs only more roaches/zerglings. And once the critical mass of roaches is available, they crush immortals, because they simply one shot them.

this was an absolutely amazing GSL vs the World !!!
Congrats to Serral for making SC2 history !
Stats has such a calm face. Just relaxes me looking at him. It's like the Buddha
Game 4 of this series (13:40) was such a good match. Back and forth, forth and back... So much skill on both sides. Ever so satisfying to watch the best play the best.
First game starts at 2:14
you mean third game?
nver played starcraft before...but somehow i love watching it
Cicak Kembung you should play it,very hard but it's the best game I have ever played, and it's free! Happy hunting
True starcraft it's free now, gogo play this awesome game ;)
Just finished downloading it....i taught dota2 is the hardest game to master....clearly im wrong...so much unit to control...these players played like a machine or better!!
Play the game and your life will never be the same. Your wife might divorce you though....
Expect to lose a lot but from losses comes knowledge and then wins😀
Serral, You are the only reason for me being proud of being European!! Thank you and Very Very best !!!!
so happy they let tastosis cast the second half of the finals.
Tastosis all the way man. Some of the other casters are just really tiring to listen to. Tastosis combo feels really natural and not forced.
Yeah, I love Geoff's commentary and jokes but Tastosis is the adrenaline :-D
11:56 . The guy in pink shirt (first row, less emotional one) is Serral brother. He studies mathematics in Seoul University
Doesn't Serral's brother also play Starcraft?
Was that a powerwolf cover at the end? "Let there be night"
So this was before Reynor? Cause Serral win 4 consecutive WCS now.
where are the follow-up games? Set5-Set6? :|
LONG LIVE KING SERRAL! THE KING OF THE NORTH :D :D :D
What is the "either you rise or you fall" song?
What are they referring to when they say set off the immortal shield? How do mutas set off the shield any differently than roaches do?

I'd wager part of the reason people don't like him is just because _he's too damned good._ Like, seriously.
(In other words: they're jealous.)
song name 12:00
19:52 Chargelots and archons in the mineral line, how in the world did Serral only lose 1 drone??
What mouse does Serral play?
23:25 I don't like to disagree to Artosis, but an Immortal is not the worst unit against a Broodlord. they kill the broodlings very nicely. not the Lords though. but as support for archons or stalkers they doing great vs. Broodlings.
Song at 0:25??
Final matches? PepeHands

Guess we've found his lookalike.
27:06 Zest must respect the unit combination that Serral has. :D
Congrats!!! you earnt it!!!!!!!!!
Daaaamn he just flooded Stats with roaches in that first game!
Best archon juggling: 19:35

29:31
Artosis is so close to Tasteless, it's like what? lol.
Trying to fusion-ha?
It caught me off guard because tiny things like one step in positioning can look really different on camera.
28:02 Mmmm Spicy!
Roaches beating immortals XD. guess if its 50 vs 6 it works

mupo1811 This channel has been blamed for uploading SC2 clips tooooooo late. That must be the reason they blocked like button
Serral really need to start lifting some weight :D lol. He look sick and fragile lol.
Serral is a great player. with his ability curve maybe soon-to-be-the-best, but man, hes also the most boring player in existance
masterofdizaster what do you want him to do? Trash talk?
Maybe grow a personality
He got one already, and it's stylin' on ya.
Oh yeah, it's stylin alright, so much style I can't handle
Serral already climbed to #1 World Ranking in the prestigious Aligulac chart.
Stats is trash compared to serral...
Song at 0:25????????
Found it. "It's got my name on it" with shazam hahaha
