Watching Serral play is like watching those satisfying machinery videos. There's something pleasant about that reliable and repeatable precision at great speed.
The best part of my day is being welcomed back to some professional Starcraft 2.
Serrals ability to never completely lose a decisive engagement for 35 minutes is insane
Yeah, wacky. I was really impressed by his ability to *commit* to a big fight, where I'd go "okay, he's decided to go", but then decide exactly where in the middle of the fight to **pull back**, and save basically all his valuable units...really impressive.
Spellcasters. Zerg have fungals, abducts, blinding clouds, parasitic bomb. Terran have snipes. As soon as the chaff have been whittled down and the spellcasters are all that's left, that's when Serral launches his (last) round of spells and retreats. Get the spellcasters away and let what chaff survives to follow after. That he keeps his strategy means he is fighting on one flank only, but it IS still an impressive strategy that he pulls off to perfection - squeezing out every last spell he can before the chaff get chewed up. 🫡😁
I think thats the reason why he is more consistent as players like Reynor for example. When Reynor sees an opportunity for a quick kill, he will usually go for it, while Serral will invest a lot more time to deconstruct his opponent. On the other hand i feel he is missing that killer instinct of Reynor in his ZvZ, which is why he struggles a lot in this matchup. You cant play too carefull in that match up. @@DustinHorvath1987
*Against arguably the best Terran in SC2 history aka the GOAT of GSL, and someone most would have on their proverbial "Mount Rushmore" of SC2 players.
For someone who mains a species of insectoids, Serral is a goddam _machine_ 🥶🥶🥶
yeah I think that's special ability of him. He's a good example of the phrase 'may lose battles but win a war'
"Babe, wake up! I know it's the end of Summer, but _Winter_ just posted!"
"babe, wake up! Now I know he just posted yesterday, but Winter posted AGAIN today!"
That 1st game was insane. What a show of skill.
36:14 The Man, The Myth, The Maru Best in Class: ... *_+1 Amor_*
Ah yes, the French 'Amor' stat +1 ❤
Stacks with the Charisma stat +1 💖
My day did get a little bit better after watching this amazing cast
Remember the times when Serral was truly unbreakable, I recall so many games with his insane holds and comebacks
This is one of my favorites games I've seen in a while! thanks for the great cast.
"my favorite games are when both players beat the minerals out of eachother" lolol
Winter is an amazing caster.He seems like a cool dude too.Keep up the good work.
Serrals style is literally textbook brood war Protoss. As soon as meat-shield dies retreat. Perfect every time
lol "They'll expect one of us in the wreckage, brother" What a great line, that was grim as fuck. Nice one (' . ')b
That Infestor make us sit in the edge of our chairs for nothing.
Wouldn't it be great if, after all these years, it turns out Winter has a whiteboard on either side of him with "Jimmy" written on it, and each time he yells at Jimmy there actually IS a Jimmy (or TWO Jimmys) with all the things he wants to remember scribbled on them. (Eg. A running 'like' count)
If you're the best in the world at something, you're allowed to wear a fedora; and at no other time.
I'd like to cash in my coupon of "I was young and didn't know any better".
@@TheJohtaja 😆
Serral is so good he makes it almost easy to forget that Maru would have absolutely dismantled any zerg not named Serral, dark or reynor with ease.
Artosis' argument against Serral being the GOAT is mostly based on Serral winning so many region-locked tournaments. But surely having to uproot yourself and go half-way across the globe to South Korea to compete in the GSL is pretty much a region-lock to me.
This is the entire argument against him and its pretty dumb; specifically he needs to fight in GSL. Serral beats the top players from every region anyway (especially Maru, who i consider #2), and wins in worlds. He beat GSL vs the world, twice. Why would he waste his time fighting in GSL when he already beats the best GSL has to offer?
@@wmzer0mw Exactly.. I never understood this argument either. If he did not play against these players at all then it would make sense to say it, but its not the case, he just reks them like anybody else..
The operation overlord reference was 👌
It’s gonna be a good one!
Thanks Winter, did enjoy!
Rest in peace Maru.
Just commenting to give Winter an algorithm boost!!!
Thank You
Om nom nom
Thank you winter!
@34:55 winter broke my brain with that statement…
phenomenal
Serral surplyblocked, maked 9 spores and then 5 lurkers!
It got me confused but that was on purpose. Probably to feel save for defense? So interessting!
Very exciting game
Who knew Terrans could build units other than Marines! This game actually looked good.
Game 2, I have not seen a Zerg build like this before ? I think Winter missed it, extractor trick with the worker and no zerglings at all? I would have loved to see a breakdown of that
Go GOATs
Absolute most bestest all time greatest ever Professional StarCraft II *SeemsGood*
😂
counts as 2 games!!! winter said it, make it happ'n cap'n!
The 2nd game. Hooked him bad.
I wouldn't mind nerfs to Terran or zerg but like.... What does serral do that's OP? You can't point to anything that's too strong, he doesn't even build that many queens. He's just too good
Next Blizzard balance patch: all unis used by player Serral get HP reduced by 30%.
Vipers
Watching games like the first one in this series is frustrating. Terran simply cannot win. Maru is playing incredibly well controlling his ghosts but he has too few tools at his disposal compared to Serral's zerg. Infestors and Vipers have such a large toolkit of incredibly effective spells that past a certain level of skill, which admittedly is beyond what us mere mortals can even dream of, it's impossible to play against them. Terran has what? EMP and snipe which is a single target moderate damage ability. Nuclear missiles are a meme, they are useless at higher levels maybe they can qualify as a distraction but that's about it. Compare that to the viper. Abduct alone is basically is a one shot on any unit. On top of that Viper has blinding cloud which is extremely effective and parasitic bomb too. It's too much. Sure, when average or even good players use vipers they will have trouble using even 25% or 30% of their potential. But at the highest level zerg is simply too flexible and has too many tools. Vipers, Infestors, permanent invisibility with burrow, the ability to switch from ground units to air units by building a single structure, it's just too much. Zerg should win by volume not quality. This is actually true at lower levels but at high levels the spell casters of the zerg make it a formidable late game army that can trade evenly with any race if not at an advantage. That's not how it should be.
I would say the only totally broken thing from Zerg is the abducts which fucks up Protoss and Terran badly on high level plays.
End game zerg played like a limitless computer with endless time is basicly an auto win, sure only maybe 2 or 3 people can actually play zerg like that but it matters.
The game has it's design limits, set the scenario in the early game and terran wins every time, it's just the nature of their race.
Protoss is just left crying honestly, they've never felt right in all of SC2 and their trophy wins tells that whole story, from the days of MC and SoS (his 2015 wcs win)but after that the game was figured out and protoss never rose again.
The game should have had a rework of several things most notably a ghost-raven rebalance, terran having one usuable spellcaster is laughable, ravens are an early game gimmick and nothing else while ghosts are a much needed deal with everything late game. It's beyond absurd.
While protoss need a total rework and zerg needs some toning down on it's spellcasters, they simply do too much, single target abduct or neural, long range area of attack damage infestors even both ground and air. Even range denial. With an iconic unit not even touched by most zerg pros, the ultra.
How is there no commentary on how long Serral waited to make any army units against the 2 rax reaper opener in game 2?
That contaminate at the end omg... it feels like I just watched something Criminal.
*"Google translator"*
Maru = Turtle Ghost
Wow, i just put Maru on the translator.
how do you make it zoom out like that, to see more than i normally see in game? i cant get it on my game rewievs, what im doing wrong?
thnks
Is that a Fedora 😂
Serral looking untouchable in this series. What a GOAT.
Greatest Of All Time.
Zvt late game matchs man... So skillfull, so interesting !
Great Commenting
Sweeeet!
Genuine question- Is Jimmy a real person? Or is he a part of your stage persona?
jimmy is winters assisant/sidekick/AI/Alter ego/imaginary friend
Jimmy is real to winter.
Jimmy is a running joke lol.
You've heard of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde?
hidden broodlord and crouching infestor
I'm not sure how I feel about blinding cloud.
Submit to melee supremacy!
Reference to Dark Knight Rises? 😎
At 20:30 battle screen doesnt vount banelings. Not trying to be annoying but it is a mistake.
8:25 pretty sure he did that to avoid the supply block at 192? or he didnt realise he wasnt at 200 yet when he heard we need more overlords
Winter said something like this. "He didn't mess up his attempt to go over 200 supply. He definitely wanted to get those units out 6 seconds earlier".
@@Gredddfe where? all i see is that he said he messed it up
oh nvm found it
Really looking forward to the new patch. Maru lost the first game because of one mistake, his ghosts got fungaled.
Quick survey: On a scale from Creator (Destroyer of Worlds) to Innovation (the Machine), how emotional are you when it comes to the game? I think 6.5/10 in favor leaning to Innovation..
Best Precise Zerg vs Best Multitasking Terran
Terran is so OP
Even if I love watching ByuN for fan, Serral is just the best players of all times without any doubts.
You ask, I like, thats just the way it is.
Does anyone knows what does the numbers means on the player profile?
The number at the top left of the profile card is "MANA".
It was a referrence to the game Hearthstone.
@@llwydwyn5255 What about the bottom left and right?
@@captaindo7679the left is how much damage the card has and the right is the HP.
I just realized that the Maru card has a misspelt word "Armor".
Search it up in the french dictionary.
@@midweekcentaur1050 i did not know that, thank you
Serral 🐐
🤠
Game is hard.
Serral's more like the Great-Grandmaster of SC2
why is serral card weaker than maru's?
GSL
It has now been updated
The mothership change is pretty silly. 110 seconds cooldown for recall? How about I just kill that mothership and build a new one. 71 seconds build time? Nah, I'll chrono that out. How about 48s recall cooldown? Much better.
Just a troll unit :)
It's Blizzard reminding us Protoss where we are in the state of things.
Edit: "Hahaah!! Then we'll 'BUFF' the Mothership lololol"
@joethestrat they just need to remove the recall ability from the mothership and give it something actually useful. Like a shield which can be activated to shield itself giving it some counterplay do abducts.
Infester Brood Lord still looks broken to me.
We need serral Maru and hero no friendships
Of course serral is wearing a fedora...
I'm not a zerg so I'm usually rooting against Serral, but I love to see him nonetheless lol
1116 and it's the best 2 players in the world let's goooooooooo
Zerg op
1 minute in I call Serral aa the winner overall.
I think it's "Colosseum"
When SC3?
For the algorithm
for starcraft 2, serral is the best
for starcraft, Flash, Boxer, July Zerg
When's Jimmy getting a pay raise?
Serral's true superpower isn't so much what he can do in a single game, it's what he can do in an entire series; he has great mechanics, of course, is a macro machine, great at scouting and engaging, but his real strength is that he never seems to tire. You take a 35 minute long, fully-mined out slugfest like game 1, even the best would be a little sweaty after that. But then he just whips around and lops the 2nd best player in the world's head off in 7 minutes or less, and you can BARELY call what he did a cheese. Just a well timed, well-leveraged All-In that Maru completely underestimated. He just wasn't ready for that second game; Serral was.
Precisely.
Cure reminds us that we are all just mortals.
Clem reminds us that there is strenght in passion.
Byun reminds us that sometimes you have to go all-out.
But Maru, Maru reminds us that he is the best for a reason.
Oh and Oliviera reminds us that he exists, I guess
how did it go from 1900+ to 1k :[? (Likes)
I want to inform you all that I gave the 69th like. Which was nice.
serral with the 5 bases for free build...Zerg HAS to be nerfed.
imagine thinking a game has to be balanced by one race getting over 1/3 more income per game than the others...
There's a reason Serral has over a 90% win rate, my Lord he is an absolute beast, that first game. He is literally unbreakable. Patient, focused, able to know exactly when to attack and when to retreat, 35 min no mistakes, just flawless.
I cant imagine the other players drawing Serral in a match, they are like.. "okay I should just count this as loss, I have a 7% chance of winning.. maybe if Serral chokes on his own spit, I might win" 😂😅😅
Is that how many videos you have put out? The number of likes you ask for has steadily risen by exactly one per video
Decrease spore hp to 250 same as missile turret is the balance patch you never wanted but is what is actually needed. This small change would make the battle more even.
Nah, Terran has so much anti-air it's bs. Zerg need those spores.
Hey Man! I really liked your casting on the tournament videos. I really think you should be casting on ESL tournaments! You are definately way better and more interesting than some casters who is trying to hard and annoying like LowKo.
I hate lowko xD
< Like # 176
Isn't nice how Terran can just do Ghosts and counter Broodlords, Lurkers and Casters? Truly the most balanced and fair race.
Lol guys like you who think it’s so simple to use ghosts 😂 it’s so easy for Zerg to simply wait for a Terran to unsiege and just a move roll in with ling/bane and insta win a game. Alls it takes to lose as a Terran is to leave one depot down when you move out and that’s a wrap in most games 😂
@@IsaacFNghostIs it simple to use ghost? No. Is it much simpler to mass ghosts than to have six hands to control a full late game Zerg army? Yes. You're seriously discounting how good Serral is and putting it on balance. If to win against Terran late game a pro needs to be Serral, then there's obviously something wrong with Terran.
@@N0noy1989 Serral is a master of sc2. And I do agree that controlling infestors and vipers at the same time as the main army is probably insanely hard.
@@N0noy1989 but I’m referring to play below pro level as well
hellbat thor ghost tank liberator wins 90% vs zerg. 10% is serral
at this point the game needs an emergency balance patch. players are quitting and the player count is dropping at an unusual pace. the balance has never been this bad. zerg is broken as all hell with insanely powerful caster units. terran is weak and protoss has basically been taken out of the game entirely in high elo. there is no point in playing the game competitively if you dont play zerg. the game was actually really well balanced during wings of liberty with every race having 1 caster unit, infestory high templar ghost. Adding vipers was unnecessary
fully upgraded zerglings are about 5 times stronger than they should ever be
Serral vs Maru >> porn
Oh look its cereal abusing bainling lurker how amazing and impressive 👏 👏 👏.... it mean must be had to win with units that seige and unsiege instantly into invisibility
Serral didnt even use that many banelings or lurkers. He won the game mostly with broodlord infestor hydra ling.
Yeah always suprised me how lurkers are so fast... If they unborrow in full view of a terran they should get a 10 seconds not invisible bug, and the same should go for mines aswell.
A unit attacking a burrowing mine or lurker suddenly not seeing the unit is just the gamey-ist of silliness and would rebalance a siege tank that sieges twice as fast, also does area of effect albeit less, moves 33% faster and even 66% faster on creep and unborrows near instantly.
Hey the important thing is they both destroy Protoss, my race.
Maru has proven himself in global tournaments. Serral cannot be GOAT until he challenges Koreans in Korea. GSL.
Fungal range, viper abduct range, ridiculous overseer range of vision...all behind a spore crawler..... yeah, have fun trying to do something gosht but die.
Always rhe same
Edited...
TvZ is good starcraft ❤❤❤
All the crap about ghost being OP. Please stop it, vipers are way stronger and they can regen the energy the fastest of all spellcasters.
Ghosts are too OP. The need some nerfing. And banes need to be able to roll faster and do more dmg. I think it's so wasteful half are gone before even reaching a terran army.
Best balance demo ever is playing on BGH map. In SC1 it was really about who built better. SC2 terran can play the same way just blockading in, but zerg lack the old school massing to punch through as effectively. Terran is simply better offensively and defensively, mad nerfing needs to happen all over.
Yawn zerg simply has too many tools compared to the other races 😊
