    33:20 That contamination I've never seen something like that before, never seen an overseer as an mvp. Serral pulling all the Zerg tricks to obtain victory. Incredible

      He does that almost every game when the timing permits. There is always an overseer lurking around his opponent base.

  • @princess_love9929
    @princess_love9929 10 месяцев назад +15

    if game 3 was a spy movie it would have been Serral sitting in a crusty air vent for hours just waiting for his chance to slither out and put a bannana peel underneath maxpax's foot at a key timing before making a dramatic escape via hang glider.

    Honestly MaxPax has had such a good performance recently. He is much more like Serral in the remaining consistently good, whereas I feel Clem and Reynor fluctuate in dominance.

    • @natecw4164

      MaxPax has been out hero'ing Hero. It's amazing play. The buff to stasis really seems to be strong and his blink/prism play is best in the world.
      To quote HuK from all those years ago: Top 3 control 😂❤

    I realized today after meeting some old friends I hadn't seen in years how unstable and largely unpleasant the last few years were for me (grad school through the pandemic and then trying to get hired).
    About 8 months ago I found Winter's channel again, and I realized tonight one of the reasons I've made it a habit to watch almost every night is the consistency. Winter always comes in with enthusiasm for RTS, and almost always comes in with contagious optimism and humor along with a serious dose of wit. Thank you for making the last 8 months so much more bearable

  • @Matt-ln7lb
    @Matt-ln7lb 10 месяцев назад +8

    Maybe templar should get an energy regen upgrade like Medivacs got. the Starting energy upgrade got removed in WoL because warp-in storm was kind of OP, but a regen upgrade wouldn't have that problem.

    • @ManDuderGuy
      @ManDuderGuy 10 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah storm is something you have to charge up, unload, then immediately turn into archons. It'd be nice to have MOAR STORM instead of an unreliable burst and fizzle. Heck, storm isn't even all that good, at least at the pro level.

    • @pabsmanhere
      @pabsmanhere 10 месяцев назад +3

      This is actually a really great idea. Storm builds often fail because it can't meet out consistent damage like the robo units. Rushing storm is particularly risky. You can lose a game as a result of just 1 or 2 poorly placed storms.

    Serral beating Colo/Archon army with Ling/Hydra is crazy. Since Serral didn't field Ravagers, I think if MaxPax traded one or two Archons for sentries, he could've kept some Colos alive for later.

    If hydralisks are like caterpillars, and I think they are, a group of them is called an "army".
    Boring. I know.
    They start as larvae, they form into hydras -- the caterpillar form -- and then they can evolve into lurkers.
    At the lurker stage, they would what butterflies are to caterpillars.
    This means a group of lurkers would be referred to as a "kaleidoscope".
