The first game is a perfect reflection of balance right now: Serral outplays him starting from minute 1. And continues to do throughout the complete game. All the game Serral is dominating 100%. And it takes him 30!!! minutes to actually win the game.
11:50 Serral saw those defense cruisers jump in and placed a nidas knowing that spirit would send them to kill it when it screamed, letting the corrupters he moved there easily pick them off. This serral guy is pretty good...
@@nathanbennett1735 i wouldnt say precisely for that i think its more of he knows thats the best spot for value and this time it paid off far more then normal. either way it was an absolutely devastating play. and then he follows up the next game with that momentum. spirit didnt even get to fight back until game 3
And despite outplaying Spirit since minute 1 it takes him 30 minutes to actually win the game. That says everything you need to know about balance in SC.
16:00 "So even Serral makes mistakes... Like using microbial shroud at any point." 😂😂 Game 1 is Serral outplaying terran from minute 1 and terran still dragging it on for 20 minutes.
There's a point where Serral was basically farming Spirit for xp in that first game, good lord. A reminder of why this is the person sitting on top. Yeah, he makes mistakes, but he makes so few of them that he can afford them. That second game really did hinge on that lost tank, in terms of momentum. One thing I appreciate from Winter here is the filler, sometimes things are just going forward without much to commentate on, and that's where I appreciate Winter the most. (That and the running gags with the Queens remains fun all the time.) Serral absolutely earning that sweep.
It's annoying that turtle terran can survive for 20+ minutes while having half the bases, losing every fight, and being outplayed across the board. Plus if Serral messes up a single engagement, the terran mech deathball can win the game, while losing fights for terran just means retreat to planetaries and try again in 2 minutes. For a patch that was supposed to encourage more active playstyles, it sure has turned into a turtle fiesta.
Whats interesting is that I've been in serral's game 1 position (relative to my own skill obv) and I can almost never close out a game as end game zerg, it feels like so much work, so many moving parts and if you forget your inject cycle right as you trade large sums of your army you just die
That first game was hilarious. Serral was completely dominating the game non-stop for 15-17 minutes straight, and never took any kind of damage (he did not lose a single drone in the entire game) except a few minor army losses in the last few minutes, and yet he was still unable to close the game at any point during that time... Managing to lose as a Terran against Zerg requires some kind of hidden skill. It should at least unlock some achievement for every Terran pro that manages to lose vs a Zerg at this point.

Dude i been saying it all along zerg is hardest race to play and win with and terran needs a nerf its honestly rediculous they can hide behind planetary fortresses and do nothing all game then just push out and win.
@@antearesgamer only at the end you could consider anything he did not a necessary strategy and even the end you could say that. He wasn't f'ing around he was purposely advance countering everything Spirit did.
23:33 I can hear Serral in his head saying, "Stop hitting yourself. Stop hitting yourself." What a bully... tytyty Serral for doing this and Winter for bringing it to our attention! 24:05 "Then again he doesn't need to go to OH MY GAWD he has lings burrowed. Serral needs to stop smurphing in professional tournaments." CRYING LOL 27:27 P.S. That's what she said... (Viper is her name for Serral's hoohaa) Also, tytyty Serral for making my new year!!!!!!!!!!!!!! & Winter, I just realized i'm not even 50% of the video! 42:13 "It was too little" That's what she NEVER said about Serral 42:14 "It was too late" That's what she said after Serral was done

Cyclones should have a different ground-only, auto attack that does 10-12 damage, with a slightly higher DPS than current, like a machine gun animation out of the front of the unit, and only use the missile battery as the casted ability. Drives me crazy seeing it shoot missiles as an auto attack.
Can someone please explain to me why mech is being called battle mech? I mean is there any other instance where mech is not battle? Is there non battle mech?
It's a leftover from the time, when Cyclones were a different unit, essentially a mechanical Marine. They had crazy fast attack speed and could hit air and ground (but they were stationary and didn't do that much damage). Battle Mech was a composition using these Cyclones, Banshees and Helions, a much more mobile army in comparison with Siege Tanks + Thors, which are usually associated with mech. It's just something the casters thought of, probably because it was a composition favoring quick skirmishes, rather than a prolonged push.
so, the cannon hush you stopped last night got me thinking and it won me several ai games against the highest ai..... you took me to starcraft school...thanks teach...
@@piFFD513 Yeah, of course, then they can say: Hey, we buffed Zerg too. That's how they do it since a long time. Minor nerfs to a certain race while not touching it's overpowered stuff at all. And another race gets heavy nerf after heavy nerf - and some laughable buffs to "compensate". And since most players only count how many buffs and nerfs there are - while completly ignoring how major they are - the balance council gets away withit. Just look at the Hydra: Heavily nerfed the movementspeed. But "compensated" for that with an ability that last for what? 0,5 seconds? Or the disruptor: Slightly larger area - but now so little damage that it doesn't even kill Marauders any longer. (But "fun" fact: The damage nerf was done in a way, that it STILL ZEALOTS in friendly fire in TvP. So it doesn't kill the Terran units any longer, but because it does more damage vs shield Toss will still friendly fire any zealot caught in the blast.)
you mean when the race with free scans, sensor towers and tanks never attempts to clear them? That's like complaining about tanks free trading when they're set up on a hill and zerg never tries to flank.

Seems like a rising underdog 😮
Wow that first game, Serral always 2 steps ahead, never seen that displayed so clearly
Can you imagine being in the top 10 of the world and feeling like a bronze hero playing him?
@@Vidrigsson haha, exactly what I thought 😁😁
That scout on the fusion core was a pivotal moment. I wonder if the overlord placement was precisely for that

That's...ironic? Since you can beat the zerg in your base, and before you counterattack, he's back to full army.
Terran council after watching serral be like "we should nerf drone, now drone cost 200 mineral" 😂
yeah, spirit should have been able to survive 40 minutes instead of 30 in a game where he's being outmined the entire time
@@johningles1098 Spirit is a weak player bro and typical Zerg is not Serral.
@@mariusz7238 That's not how the Terran Balance Council will see it. Any time Terran dies in less than 3 hours surely someone not Terran needs a nerf.
And to compensate, we're increasing Microbial Shroud duration by 0.01 seconds! (We're tone deaf)
terrans aren't b¡tchy and whiny zerg players 😂 if you want proof just view the comments when Clem beat Serral in the grand finals of the EWC
20:27 serral uses the nydus as a force field to trap the Thor in the sim city
Not a single drone was lost by Serral throughout that 29 minute game
Terran council sees this and need to buff MMM to beat al Zerg units.
Gotta love seeing Terrans getting shredded.
"Units which have larger hitboxes: Thors, your mother, Ultralisks..." 🤣

this is like the first time in AGES ive seen a series casted by lowko earlier than winter.
4:17 couldnt say it any better
it's somewhat horrifying to see Serral messing with anyone (even an actual amazingly skilled progamer)
Wow serral in game one looks so dominant!
This is a literal proof that Clem is just a different monster
Let's face it. I like Spirit and I cheer for him because he is from my country, but he has no chance against Serral.
Kinda wonder how the game would change for Zerf if Scourge were brought back. Especially considering how weak to air Zerg seems to be.
Yep, that's Zerg alright
Terrans: Nerf Zerg 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Zergs: Nerf Serral! 🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂

It seems Clem is the only person on the planet who can beat Serral.
doin' my part!
Terran council next patch:
- removes Overseers
- removes Nydus Worms
- decrease energy cost of Microbial Shroud by 0.1 (please use this ability)
Decrease it by 0.1? So now it cost 74.9 instead of 75? Unless you worded it wrong
@@piFFD513 Yeah, of course, then they can say: Hey, we buffed Zerg too.

infestors are incredibly strong?
Jimmy deserves a raise. Frankly he's a big draw.
Pssssh... I can bank that many minerals well before 203/200 😂
first game zero drone losses.... :O
Serrel is jujst on a diff level.
playing with his food
The slowest death animation......
how he got 203 supply?
Zerg can cancel a building and get the drone back. So you start 3 buildings, build 3 supply of other stuff, then cancel the buildings.
You can turn drones into buildings, this makes your supply go down then cancel the building and supply goes up.
Watching that game, it seems like Serral was trying to...
Kill his spirit
ba-dum-tss 😅
Why would you build your fusion core right on the ledge where overseer can see it immediately? 😑
He didn't know overseer was there.
Queensmoot is great
How do you not lose a single drone against rank 4 terran
how dare you talk about my mother's hit box
I know it's just for the algorithm but unless Serral is beating Clem it is in fact not his greatest game of the year.
I miss polt
BRENDA!!
No Hydras or mootas lmao.
Day 4 of pleading with Winter to move "The Maru" to be on a single line in his card mock-up.
zerg really needs a buff terran has it way to easy in this game.
First. Now my day just got so much better
Epic game, but if Serra build like 30+ overseers. Serra would win the game instantly.
Baneling all the time. Nydus every 4 sec. 30+overseer. Win instantly.
Another Amazing cast!! We love you Winter thanks for always giving us a daily dose of joy❤
LUCILE!!
Serral has to stop smurfing in professional games
Sorry, Brenda tells me NOT to subscribe, just a like because you are a Human, that is, a Terran. Don't blame me, I just follow what the hive dictates
50% more cost effective, while using free units. Geez what a surprise.
likes are at holy 777 so I must decline
54 seconds ago and already liked, because it made my day a little bit better
Zerg trading for free the entire 1st game with brood lords and swarm hosts xD cause why not
