- It finally happened! Serral versus Maru in a best-of-3 series of StarCraft 2. These two have somehow managed to dodge each other in many tournaments, but today it's finally time to watch them face off against one another.

One thing that I really love about Lowko's casts is that he never assumes his viewers are pros at the game and always includes explanations of little details that newcomers may not know yet
He probably understands that a lot of his viewers are new players or non players who just enjoy watching
This is exactly why I watch him
@@ss5gogetunks i thought i was on minority by non-players who just enjoy watching these vids. now i feel there are alot like me
@@ghostgurl17 yep!
Personally I just started playing after getting into it from watching, but competitive mode is too stressful so I mostly just play coop
@@ghostgurl17 Join the club! :)
Really missing the minerals/gas per second. The worker amount tells so much less about eco situation than actual income per second.
Let's say zerg has 90 workers and 2 mining bases you'll think he's in a good spot even though his income is barely 1.2k/min while terran with 30 scvs and 3 mining bases and mules looks bad by worker count but his income is near 2.5k/min
Totally agree with this!
Totally. The other layout had the direct comparison, plus it often showed APM as well. Those up/down arrows on this layout are just not as meaningful.
100%. The new view has so much less information :/
If both players in midd or late game lose all workers. Zerg can make them all again in 15 sec. while terran not, thats one of some reasons. Like prottos with boost.
@@draackon You explaining why mules exist but we speak about mineral income they give which can't be seen with this UI but with old you can see when mules landed
Overlord increases speed by a barley noticeable amount "There ya go! look how fast that guy is, insane!" haha
What about a wheat noticeable amount?
@@alterego3734 the overlord seemed to hop along at twice the speed.
@@alterego3734 😂
I read this just as he said it XD
Best game ever this week!
this entire video is what happens when an unstoppable zerg meets and immovable terran.
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
@@СавелийГрабовый No, Zerg players are known for rapid expansion and throwing units to opponent while Terran players turtling and some drops
Lol yeah!!
I remember Maru managed to stay alive for 20 minutes with less than 1000 minerals while the zerg has more than 2000 minerals by 8 mn or sth. It was hell.
@@SanityDrop not really tho zerg is a reactive race and terran is an aggressive race.
"Ultrali... I mean Overlord." They have about as much health and firepower anyway so why not.
Ultralisks dream of becoming Overlords when they grow up
At least Overlords fly
@@elfoyoutube6039 Overlords>Ultralisks confirmed.
@@ZC.Andrew or better, Zerglings.
That’s savage!
"Serral is currently in the beautiful country of Europe, in the city of Finland."
Oh my god Lowko, I have a cold, I'm going to die if you make another joke that fresh. LOL
Kinda reminding me of "england is my city
I am also from the city of Sweden
55:40
I'm normal korean and don't know why u guys call this sentence is a joke
@@난틀리지않았어 Europe is a continent, not a country, and Finland is a country, not a city. You could argue that the joke is a reference to the European Union, but that's not necessary.
"These aren't the kind of guys to lose to stupid stuff."
You mean like forgetting Adrenal Glands and Combat Shield?
and 1 1?
But Lowko also mentioned that they are, indeed, humans :)
What if, at their level, forgetting those things ISN'T stupid? *cue X-Files theme music*
Stupid stuff? You mean like spending an entire game of delicate footsies with your opponent only to drop a nuke on your own fleet in the 11th hour?
Fun fact - the word Juggernaut (an unstoppable force) comes from the word "Jagannatha." So you could actually call it Juggernaut LE!
it means overwhelming force, not exactly unstoppable, but thanks for the fun fact sir.
@@ghostgurl17 Whoops my mistake - thanks for the clarification!
sounds like Japannese trying to say juggernaut in their english?
Last time I was this early, I had not enough minerals
I love your ability to watch a replay, then watch it again and commentate on it as though it's totally new to you. That and your excitement during these matches are signs of a top tier commentator.
Thats not how he does it.
@@PeekabooEUDK listen to the words coming out of his mouth, that's what he describes every other video.
Give Ultras the aberration ability from coop, they should be able to walk over lings, banes, marines, and zealots. Also keep their attack a melee but have like 1 or 2 range. Would be a way less derpy unit with these changes
Yeah, zerg is way to weak better buff them. :P
@@vir042 It wouldn't really be a buff. More of a QoL change.
@@vir042 if other races had units has derpy as Ultras I'd want them fixed too. It just looks bad. They are barely useable
@@vir042 Zerg is too strong, but ultras are shit. This buff would be good for ultras, making them usable, but Zerg needs a production nerf, like a larvae cap.
Right because the Zerg need a buff lmao
Starcraft 2 is a simple game: two players fight it out and Serral wins.
“This is probably the highest match of Zerg versus Terran you’ll ever see...” no no no, the highest match of TvZ was the 4v4 pro archon that you streamed about 4 months ago.
can u add the link below this comment
pls do it i would love to see it
Plus 1

13:00 sends banelings to trade but also check for widow mines then he goes in for the surround when it's all clear. Neat move.
Me in diamond: right-click and then a-move. Such skill!
Creep is a soft suede on the touch and smells minty like all the zergs.
Well with creep being BioMass, and from what I've seen most biomass is meaty beings, I doubt Xreep would smell like decaying leaves. More like decaying flesh, miles and miles of decaying flesh.
Mmmmmm making me hungry! For the swarm!!
If creep is basically a field of intestines, I imagine it as if you put meat in the compost, a sorta slightly decomposing meat, but earthy.
It's not decaying when it's spreading.
Probably only smells like death when it's being cleared. Probably smells like nothing when it's alive. As it probably doesn't have pores.
I was gonna say it probably smells like oily pork or something
I've actually already seen this match on another channel. But it's still worth watching just because of Lowko's super in-depth commentary. I love it.
If Serral continues to play like that, the zerg will be nerfed into having 1 hp and 1 damage.
i feel its more balanced (on these guys lvl of gameplay) but less fun.. i miss more spellcasters in TvZ.. also im glad to see more muta plays but sad that ghosts mass produced like that, arent they supposed to be specialists working solo missions or something...
he will still win as well
@@ghostgurl17 i honestly think sometimes that starcraft may have to one day make like 2 versions because balancing a game for normal people and professionals in impossible. Like units that have high ceiling caps for skill and massive amounts of potential value are going to be really hard to balance so that a normal player can use them but a pro can't be o with them.
@@ghostgurl17 still beats serral wining games in the past by winfestors alone. Ahhh, good old times when you get talked down for daring to say that they were broken
@@MrZiva82 yeah i guess if we say that zerg will have a 60%-40% advantage on economy on every map, having something so efficient as infestors will be broken at the late game. so they solve it by having ghosts even more efficient but then the ghost are just destroying every zerg late game units now which is the same when winfestors are prevalent. im thinking maybe ghost should do 70%-80% snipe damage against air units since they already have thors to counter broods.
New UI is clean and all, but I really miss the old overlay with this once in a blue moon matchup
Thanks LOWKO! Great commentary as always!! Can’t believe we finally got to see them play against each other!
0:55 "...none other than serral."
*Dramatic music plays*
Lowko: These guys are incredibly good and don't make any big mistakes.
Serral+Maru: Hold my beer there.
Maru`s playlist for tournaments:
Run to the CC`s
Fear of the swarm
Number of the lings
Raven`s high
All written by Iron Fortress, right?
This series should be called: "Pro players forgetting important upgrades every game and losing games for it." Just goes to show how on the edge they are playing vs each other.
The widow mine scatter seems like such an effective meta
It's probably tricky, as many things. It works great against a regular run-by, but in turn it can just be cleaned up regularly and those costs will start adding up. Additionally it's a lot of supply that, 90% of the time, isn't where it's sorely needed. And finally, particularly good players can negate it with cheeky moves as we saw.
Serral: "Discombobulate."
55:42 “Serral is currently in the beautiful country of Europe ... in the city of Finland.”
????? You good there Lowko?
serral : *hear boss music*
maru : *hear boss music*
Lowko : "alright, what i've got for you today...."
Starcraft's manual says creep is acidic. So I think it either smells sour or like a swamp.
1:02:27 Yo! Lowko is a sabaton fan! Awesome!
I can tell you play the game because your casting is so accurate and seems like second nature. That kind of understanding can only come from so many hours fully immersed.
Maru didn’t get a chance to lose before he got to Serral this time.
that's because it was the very first series of the group stage of the tournament 😛
Would be better so see them play in the Winner Match, which is BO5 in this tournament.
Here's to hoping they make it to the finals and give us another epic series.
52:43 okay, guilty. subscribed, broh!
You know when you had a glass of milk and some orange juice at night, didn't brush your teeth and slept all night long with through your mouth until is is completely dry.
Then the next morning you turn towards your wife and say "Good morning, darling." And then she turns her eyes up until you only see white?
That is what creep smells like.
Great cast Lowko, was fun watching maru get cut down a size
I STOPPED PLAYING WHEN I GOT MY ACTUAL CAREER JOB, WHICH IS THE SAME TIME HUSKY STOPPED MAKING VIDEOS AS WELL. I JUST SUBED LIKE 3 DAYS AGO. THIS IS ONE OF THE FUNNIER VIDEOS. GOOD JOB.
MAKES ME WANT TO PLAY AGAIN.
I've stopped playing SC2 years ago... But I never miss a Lowko upload!
Love this guy, didn't realize it before but not once has he asked me to subscribe until know. I've watched like a dozen videos. Thanks bro ypu really are a G. Hope you never stop these amazing vids!!
35:25 Creep smells like grape soda and pine needles. Except when Terran are around. Then it just smells like dead marines.
I wish there was a visual change when units gets 1 1 or 2 2 like each upgrade makes them look more cooler
Hey lowko, long time fan I haven't commented much though, but I haven't played starcraft for years but I watch these games that you cast and put on your RUclips channel religiously. Thanks for the content, keep it up.
serral splits lings against widow mines like an advanced AI 😂
the GOAT wins!
Not like Reynor cant do it himself.
Zerg splits units - Godlike. Terran splits units - k.
@@CurrencyPrime that's impressive too but less so because as far as I remember terran doesn't have bullet-speed melee units 🤔
First vid with the new UI and I like it a lot the larger icons make it more engaging to watch because you can follow the action and commentary with a seamless transition. allowing for an informative but not intrusive visual. good choice hope you keep using this ui
Now let's see Maru playing zerg vs Serral playing terran.
I have been a firm believer in hitting the subscriber button every time they ask, every time. It’s a 50/50 if I’m unsubscribe or not depend on even or odd number videos I watch.
Lmao "shooting on everyone".
You're the best Lowko !!
Serral learned to play zerg from the AI... and then perfect it.
man that spore crawler timing on the first match... it reminds me of one of the last matches of jaedong vs flash where he defends a rush with EXACTLY the right number of drones pulled. shit was ridiculous.
Mushrooms and wet gauze with maybe a hint of beef.
Tasty
Kinda specific but I like the little arrows that indicate who is ahead in resource income on the new UI, very easy to read
The best thought process ever on mid match
Third time I watch this series now on different channels. Everytime, I am sad cause of the first game. Still you get my upvote.
There's a rumour that Serral didn't get adrenal gland to challenge himself and flex. He didn't forget.
14:09 Where Maru drops the Thor off to burn a couple Mutas then hop back up on the Medevac to dodge the Banelings.....these guys are amazing.
That first match felt bad. Missing THAT important upgrade at that level of play... It's like If Thor forgot the name of his hammer.
It's sad when artists forget the lyrics to their greatest hits.
Beatles with "Yellow Submarine".
Michael Jackson with "Thriller."
Elvis Presley with "Hound Dog".
Lowko with "Hello effryone".
I don't even play SC2, but I still like watching Lowko cast it XD
Studying will have to wait
Wow what a historic match! The first ever match in which Lowko tries to pronounce Jagannatha LE!
Never played star craft but love watching the game played at such a high level
Without the new overlay, I would have never noticed Serral building a greater spire and getting upgrades ready to transition to Brood Lords in the last game. Thanks!
Lorewise, Creep is just biomass that zerg buildings and units use to sustain themselves. It should smell like rotting flesh! :D
1:00:58 if by Banelings you mean Voltorbs that immediately use explode, then yeah. :)
Ultralisk improvement ideas:
- Give them cliffwalking like Colossi and/or free movement around friendlies (they are enormous, Zerglings really should be mindful of where Ultras step)
- Make their deaths more consequential, maybe by spawning Broodlings (like Zerg structures)
- Make their deaths more consequential, by providing temporary defense buff for nearby units (they are massive bio units after all, their exoskeletons splashing all around should affect the environment/units)
- Give them Charge as an upgrade
Chargelisks MonkaS
I found a Lowkomon in the tall grass on Lightshade LE. I tried to catch it with a Disruptor ball but it 'sploded :(
Already hit the like button even I haven't started watching it yet. :D
Hit the like button while i started reading this and had to smile :) (also before watching the video ofc)
3 p.m. in my time zone. oh!it's lowko !finally !
@40:15 Sorry Lowko, but you should leave the singing to Harstem 😂
"I gotta fire shots at someone, okay? Apparently everyone's the way to go." Taking the Eminem approach I see
Love it.... thanks for the review
That was an awesome best of 3! Thanks for the awesome commentary as always!
I've watched for a year and never subbed. Then you made a point about not doing the obnoxious subscribe thing at the beginning of every video and I thought, you know what, that IS cool. Subbed now
Banelings are Gravelers and they only know Self-Destruct, rough route to take.
54:17 Interestingly enough, Reynor would go on to be next year's world champion. Good prediction by Lowko.
So the replays got released prepare your self for a daily lowko
i am a zerg player to and i have such an hype on serral... this guy is a machine
OMG what a series! Serral ultimate God!
TX Lowko for the much much fun cast!! GJ
1:08:34 awesome control from serral brow
Lowko really zeroed in on the multitasking attentional difficulties of Serral's playstyle. He has forces in multiple locations and if he's not paying attention for half a second he'll lose 40 banes to a couple of widow mines, where he often doesn't have detection and has to have his screen there to spot the depression of a buried mine . Yet this never happened in a 20 minute game. It's really mind-boggling.
I feel like zerg is in the best place it has been in in YEARS. Right now Zerg is infinitely more fun to watch - and so much more on character - than it has been in a long time. The waves upon waves of zerg crashing endlessly over the enemy defenses until (like in game #1) you weather the full storm and come out with the victory is in my opinion how zerg should feel and play. We've seen the sit back and spam swarmhost/locust meta, the stupidly boring to watch winfestor era, the mass spore crawler and defend for 45 minutes meta, and none have been as fun as this all-out war style.
I hope this phase doesn't end soon. ZvT and ZvP hasnt been this entertaining to watch since WoL.
I wonder what would have happened if serral investede some more banelings into killing the workers. I felt like he only killed the CCs and not the workers. especially back when there where 36 workers at the top left hand base in the 2nd game.
We need more adrenal glands !
ahhhh yes as a 11 years old kid that litterly plays a rated pg game but still i dont care i love this good stuff lowko keep it on
Winter reminds me of Eric from that 70s show.
Like finding a shiny Geodude getting to a weak state only for it to self destruct.
At the bottom of the screen where it shows minerals and gas there are red arrows pointing down that blink. It seems only the ones in the minerals are blinking, and it looks like the first has to be on for the second one to turn on. What is that? do they mean anything?
Creep smells like the juice that leaks out of garbage trucks that are compressing the garbage left at the curb after the holidays.
Big up for stressing how important adrenal glands is - at +43% attacking speed it's almost like stim for zerglings (except for movement speed) but still seems to get neglected even by pros sometimes.
Serral vs Maru title is like your friend calling you to get out on the street to watch Batman vs Superman brawl, it is not a must watch, it is a reflex that you can't say no to
Serral is the real queen of blades....
I just imagined Serral's face and voice on Infested Kerrigan's body and now other people have to as well haha
Lowko, you're my favorite caster. Maybe its a bit because you'r heart is beating for zerg and I am a Diamond Zerg pleb. But your mood is awesome you love the game you have much fun with it. Keep it up and make the SC2 community a better place like you are doing already!
Serral vs Maru casted by Lowko? Insta-like!
nice video! I like ur commentary! I hit F10 so many times to pause this video. lmao
Would be nice if Blizzard made a Zerg commander that's made out of creep. Creep Buildings... Creep Units... Creep Spells :)
been wanting to see this for a while XD
2 gods duking it out!
Regarding the second map`s name: It`s a deity in hinduism which is descibed as "lord of the universe". It`s also what the english word Juggernaut is based on, a so to speak unstoppaple force.
Check these for more:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juggernaut
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagannath
That finnish minigolfer is pretty good.
And to think he got that good on his ocasional free time...
This man has an infatuation with adrenal glands 🤣
Hey Lowko you should cast videos from Cham from Mexico, its a sleeper. Zerg player btw
That second map... It feels like the base to expand to for Terran isn't actually the bottom but the top. Just seems like it would be easier to hold
