Absurd gameplay from both sides. Clem is so fast and hilariously aggressive, and Serral just has so many strategies up his sleeve on top of being insanely mechanically skilled. Always a joy to watch these two fight it out.
One of the most intense series I've watched in a while. All we need is maxpax to level up a bit so we can have this intense trifecta of foreigner matches all the time
"I think serral sent an infestor into the factory, neuroparasited the guy who was programming the widow mines, and just did some of the most brutal window mine friendly fire" haha genius banter
Thanks for keeping the community alive and well Pig ❤ your videos and tournaments are a joy to watch and actually got me into SC (well, you and papa Winter) much love
Year, in the past a weakness of Serral was, that he was too predictable, always playing a defensive makro style. Nowadays he is mixing it up a lot more. The one weakness right now is his zvz.
@@Daniel-rd6st Serral's weakness has always been ZvZ. Though with that "weakness" he is a force to be recon with and still considered favored to win percentage wise. Imagine if Serral strengthened his weakness to equal that with his ZvP and ZvP.
I wouldnt say always. In the year (2018 i think?) where he was at his most dominant id say zvz was actually his strongest matchup. He always somehow managed to squezze in a couple more workers than his opponents, managed to get those small advantages that build up to big ones. For me he made zvz watchable as a matchup (i usually dont like watching mirrormatches). Reynor was really the first zerg who could threaten him, after that others caught up as well. Thats the problem when you are at the top of a competition - everyone is chasing you and will try to adapt to your style of play. @@AdmiralBison
That game 7, wow! I loved the mind games build... oh, you thought I was just going to do that, watch this? Oh, and wait, there's more! When you're adopting to the last change a couple minutes ago.
Dude I really love the way you cast! It always feels like I'm in the minds of the players and I'm able to keep up despite the fact that I don't play the game! Love ya dude!
You thought Serral couldn't get any better but this Serral 2.0 trickster strategist somehow goes even further beyond. And he solved ZvT even before the Council robbed him of banes.
I always imagined that changelings, when viewed by the race they are imitating, look about as convincing as the alien in Men in Black that wore that dudes skin
What a series holyy. Evem as a terran fan i love seeing serral get one on Clem. Especially after the nerfs. First time i saw serral really pull out some insane builds to win over someone
Fuck Yessss, didn't even watch it yet but a match between these two is always a spectacle. Been looking forward to watching this match ever since I saw the bracket. Thanks for the content PiG!
@@fan1008 Dude, I just watched it. Had to set aside some time for when I knew I could give this the attention it deserved. Incredible, incredible series. Clem's micro is just unmatched. Byun, Maru, say what you want about them, but Clem's micro is on another level. I have never seen someone take on Roaches with Reapers the way he did. He is the only player who makes Serral look mortal. You could see the frustration and disbelief in Serral's face in a lot of those matches at how much value Clem is able to get out of his bio play. And then Serral coming in with the builds. So much range as a player now, he's really entering a new era for himself. This tournament and Master's Coliseum we've seen him bringing out build after build that catches his opponents off guard. Fast ultras, Queen + Overlord creep drops, Muta into Lurker, man. What an amazing series, definitely saving to watch later.
The serral drought has me rewatching older games again, ik this was just from a few months ago but still. Also serral looked the happiest ive ever seen him after a game in game one :))
Serral is being so innovative! If I could like this series multiple times I would. This and the recent Serral vs Maru. Serral is too good. Terran needs to find ways to surprise him. Terran micro doesn't make up for well executed surprises with sustained mid game map control backed by greed.
Came back after watching the rest of the tournament and grand finals to say that this was the best series of the tournament. Amazing play from both players. Clem really is the only player that can go head to head with Serral. Love watching these two clash.
All Serral's loss is when he does ling bane opener. Clem is so good at targeting banes. He's better at roach raveger opener vs clem's aggressive playstyle.
3:52 why is serral running away? He has literally 5 roaches and a ravager. He can trade that for those maurauders, marines and force to pull some scvs. I think he is lagging
I wonder if Clem intentionally delays upgrades so he can get a swarmy army quicker, which benefits his style because it allows his crazy APM and micro to go to work in a way few other pros can match
I dont understand what a zerg can do when the Terran has reach that point as in game 5. Serral tapping out when he has 120 army supply? If he cant do it, no one can.
just hard to get a second starport up and then babysit the raven and it's slow, fragile and can only be in one place at once, but it definitely can get crazy value over the long course of a game if you can manage to keep it alive. Every now and then an early raven comes back into the meta
Why is it that the terran players never buy a single raven in tvz? One of them could find and rwmove the threat of burrowed infesters/stalkers on the map.
I think there are some instances in which pro terrans really should build a raven to not die. however, those instances are obvious in retrospect and i think difficult to tell in the moment for the pros who don't have vision of the entire map. reasons that I've heard from a few streams include the fact that building ravens delays medivac timings which will delay the push by so much that it affects the rest of the game and forecasts to the opponent what the next few minutes will look like due to the limitations of what is possible with delayed medivacs, clem said that although it may seem to casual players that the addition of a raven would save minerals because the terran would then not need to scan it doesn't work that way because a terran would still scan nonetheless (I think the implication is that a terran needs to know where the opponent's units are not necessarily just where the creep tumors and invisible units are), also the raven is also slow and dies easily i believe harstem has said that in late game, it. ishis opinion that ravens should be built more often than terran pros currently do
Really like Serral's strategy of horizontal expansion on Royal Blood. The forward expansion is horrible for zerg and the side-forward expansion is mediocre. Too bad we didn't see a longer game bc I think his play was only partly about the gold and equally about getting out of the death zone corner bases!
@@Zamiroh I actually meant that for the balance whiners. I agree the 15 hatch strats have definitely shaken the matchup and delivered more exciting games.
zerg is so stressful man ! maybe they should put a little delay on the fungal same as ghosts, i mean it can literally contaminate a full 20 or even more supply so easily.
I would have been super happy if this was the Grand Finals, so to get this on Day 1 in the round of 8 (quarter finals) was freaking amazing! GGs
That was blast of games, sir Pig
When I started watching I really thought it's the finals but to have this on the 1/4s woow. Really excited for what's coming next
abso-fugging-lutly!^^
fantastic! thank you for assembling this League of Extra-Ordinary Gentlemen!
Pig, #1 caster in the industry!
Thank you for the games, I really enjoy seeing your vids and get your professional casting !

RIP Reynor apparently
MaxPax is already up there, he even won Pig Stu Festival 3 beating Maru in the finals. What would be crazy is to have him at offline events.
@@space_orphanReynor is a zerg, despite playing Protoss sometimes it doesn’t really help the trifecta..
Protoss isn’t for winning
"I think serral sent an infestor into the factory, neuroparasited the guy who was programming the widow mines, and just did some of the most brutal window mine friendly fire" haha genius banter
PiG, your commentary/casting always surprises me how good it is.
Did you see Clem's face when he saw the mutas? Dumbfounded haha. gg by both, wp
Thanks for keeping the community alive and well Pig ❤ your videos and tournaments are a joy to watch and actually got me into SC (well, you and papa Winter) much love
Love Serral's flip from "enjoy my perfectly executed late game" to "SMELL MY CHEESE and if that doesn't work enjoy my perfectly executed late game".

Add to that the immaculate Muta control... not losing any of them until they've served their purpose
Big Serral fan, but dang is Clem a play-making beast, lol. Thank you, PiG!
Serral - Supermind. Cold calculating superintelligence
Dude I really love the way you cast! It always feels like I'm in the minds of the players and I'm able to keep up despite the fact that I don't play the game! Love ya dude!

Jesus what a series. Better than most grand finals!
Pigs commentary is like starcraft stand-up😂
Your funny piggy boy,
Serrals face always looks like a torture master in a dungeon at an old castle
Wow, what a series.
Fantastic performance by both players.
I always imagined that changelings, when viewed by the race they are imitating, look about as convincing as the alien in Men in Black that wore that dudes skin

Amazing series, SPOILERS

Serral going full GOAT mode in that game 7, God damn that was sexy
"Did you just elude your micro is a deity" rofl, the stories you come up with

Banger of a series! Keep it up pig!
What an amazing series! Excellent play from both sides and that build from Serral in game 7 was just so awesome to watch unfold. Thank you PiG!
thanks for casting this tournament!
20:16 was that a goggins reference lol
1:26:30 why am i not surprised PiG didn't miss the stripper 😂

1:02:40 Rofl xD
Thanks Pig excellent cast bro!
Pig really really wants people to know he introduced the 15 15 to serral
All the games from this pigfest have been absolutely amazing!
3:49 Great micro :D
The Maginot line did it's job and the French expected the Germans to go threw Belgium and they put their best divisions there.

"Taste my drill" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 THE BEST Caster of ALL TIME ... Jared!
Beautiful series.
Great series pig!
PiG's Marine Changeling impression lol
hahaha the changeling voice was awesome, #1
What an insane series. Game 2 is incredible
Great series!
I think my favourite thing that Pig does is to impersonate a changeling. More of that please.
Bit of an overreaction of Serral there at 1:39:41. No need to completely freak out
Thoses games are absolutly legendary !!!
3:52 why is serral running away? He has literally 5 roaches and a ravager. He can trade that for those maurauders, marines and force to pull some scvs. I think he is lagging
that was sooooo sick lol
I wonder if Clem intentionally delays upgrades so he can get a swarmy army quicker, which benefits his style because it allows his crazy APM and micro to go to work in a way few other pros can match
Highest European Zerg MMR vs Highest European Terran MMR=Highest European ZvT MMR match
Serral is absolute number 1 in the world, not just regional.
You don't know me son! :D
PigCasts the best
cheers mate
Fun fact! The holographic stripper is actually a night elf from WoW
was this before the recent patch?
Before
@@PiGCasts❤
I dont understand what a zerg can do when the Terran has reach that point as in game 5. Serral tapping out when he has 120 army supply? If he cant do it, no one can.
The marine characterization 😂
These guys aren't human.
Jesus, Serral and Clem look so stressed. They need some MC’s stillness in there blood.
Probably a consequence of the Zerg nerf patches is Serral diversifying more strategies.
Fits the Zerg to evolve and adapt.
1:36:47 is what (Terran) balance whiners should listen to
this was epic
1:35:18 the face kek
Why don't Terrans make one Raven to clear creep and lurkers and burrow etc?
just hard to get a second starport up and then babysit the raven and it's slow, fragile and can only be in one place at once, but it definitely can get crazy value over the long course of a game if you can manage to keep it alive. Every now and then an early raven comes back into the meta
Love your channel buddy.... sc2 fans should build you a statue.
Serral MVP!
it seems to me we all can call Clem the best terran vs Serral player
Wow one of the best series I've seen all year. Clem is god tier.... Bringing it to Serial better than the Koreans!
Til a group of roaches is called a vomit of roaches 😂
these guys really gotta get keyboard cams
Damn! happy to see how Terran players are still too tenacious with impossible odds.
So Impressive Clem. U will be next Goat.
Clem just scratching his head...
HOW DOES THAT BAGUETTE TASTE?
Why is it that the terran players never buy a single raven in tvz?
One of them could find and rwmove the threat of burrowed infesters/stalkers on the map.
You maybe do not like it but this is how peak performance looks like! EU EU EU
I love watching Clem but I can never bring myself to root for the French
0:00
I'm sure there's a valid reason, but why don't Terran players build Ravens for detection?
Iºm sure, soon they will start !
I think there are some instances in which pro terrans really should build a raven to not die. however, those instances are obvious in retrospect and i think difficult to tell in the moment for the pros who don't have vision of the entire map.
reasons that I've heard from a few streams include the fact that building ravens delays medivac timings which will delay the push by so much that it affects the rest of the game and forecasts to the opponent what the next few minutes will look like due to the limitations of what is possible with delayed medivacs, clem said that although it may seem to casual players that the addition of a raven would save minerals because the terran would then not need to scan it doesn't work that way because a terran would still scan nonetheless (I think the implication is that a terran needs to know where the opponent's units are not necessarily just where the creep tumors and invisible units are), also the raven is also slow and dies easily
i believe harstem has said that in late game, it. ishis opinion that ravens should be built more often than terran pros currently do
they always can live it in the base, just contra the zerg hidden units @@clee89
Really like Serral's strategy of horizontal expansion on Royal Blood. The forward expansion is horrible for zerg and the side-forward expansion is mediocre. Too bad we didn't see a longer game bc I think his play was only partly about the gold and equally about getting out of the death zone corner bases!
Building the Maginot Line. XX
Jesus Finally!
Serral is like the origin story for Mr Burns on The Simspons.
Serral has no emotions on his face look how devastated was clem after game 7. I suspect Serral is a robot 😂
40:10 seriously?
the recent zerg nerfs will tip clem over the top and destroy serral
A group of roach/ravager will forever now been know as a vomit of units. Like u would call a group of fish a school of fish. Lol.
Koprulu sector add:
Clem raiders needs you
.Apply if you a bloodthirsty lunatic
.Punny weaklings need not apply
Just wait until the new patch. I have a feeling it will be near 100% terran win rate.
If Serral stays on top, he'll be the most goated goat. I believe Serral can carry Zerg
@gerardodiaz6423 it's possible, but serral is in his own category!
Too bad they can't nerf Serral. They can increase the copium% tho.
@kaelinvictus6039 nah I like watching serral games! Other zergs going to need to step up... or play more cheesy!!
@@Zamiroh I actually meant that for the balance whiners. I agree the 15 hatch strats have definitely shaken the matchup and delivered more exciting games.
with no dissrespect in any way what so ever... but what is it with proplayers and terrible haircuts :D
Clem clem clem... clem so good micro clem so super clem so magnificent 😂😂. Mate just show only clem wins. If u so love him...
Terran fanboys gonna cry again, tragic...
Protoss OP
WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TERAN NOT USE RAVENNNN???? WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Everything else will be boring from here....
zerg is so stressful man ! maybe they should put a little delay on the fungal same as ghosts, i mean it can literally contaminate a full 20 or even more supply so easily.
"So easily"? That's ridiculous. It required an epic infiltration, dodging scans and missile turrets to catch Clem off guard.
@Wicoy, you again Wicoy, whining on game balance with invalid reasons. Must have been hard for you to cope with reality.
Да чувак Серрал ты цел... Фил поправил колекцию любимой музыки... Джонни чен Покинул Техас... Я стал Кит Ричардсом...
