  • Опубликовано: 4 сен 2022
  • Professional match of top level StarCraft 2 between Serral (Zerg) and ShoWTimE (Protoss). This is in my opinion the best pro game of SC2 of 2022 so far. Ridiculously close game between two of the best European pro gamers.

    I'm not sure why Showtime didn't hunt down the last of the queens and infestors at the end.

    and he might have won, if not for a couple of moves like being late to sacrifice probes then losing too many probes, then serral realizes there must be hardly any probes left so he goes to kill every last probe... Or then at the very end, losing 1 oracle = no detection, thats huge. or just casually missing opportunity by not taking out every single creep tumor in sight by attack move stutter stepping the tempests during boring flight over creep cause they have huge range and high DPS but you cant let them idle.

    As a Protoss player, Showtime made me a little bi nervous for 2 reasons:
    - not using more of the robotics bay units since they can be very efficient against roaches, ravagers, zerglings and queens
    - using the Stalkers for way too long and consequentialy switching to skytoss far too late
    Then he basically "shoot his own foot" with some bad decisions (recalling when he should not, using storms in favor of feedbacks which would probably prove more useful in his situation).
    But nevertheless, awesome showtime from the two of them while the protoss player definitely stood up to his name
