re: "I know most of you are cheering for Showtime. Please.. also cheer for me." I didn't watch these various WCS tournaments originally, but I've been going back and watching them now that Serral won the WCS global finals, making him the first non-Korean to do that in 20 years. He's earned my undying fan-boy-hood for that. Before I started going back and watching these, I wasn't aware that Serral had become such a phenomenon this last year that people were cheering for the "underdogs" against him just because they wanted to see someone else win for a change! Lol! But as I'm watching them I don't feel that way at all, I'm absolutely overjoyed to see the Fin Win over and over. I'm finding it awfully nice to be cheering for a winner for a change! And actually it's not just because I love him forever for beating the Koreans. To me, he's easy to relate to. He's a very good sport, he has great manners, he doesn't hide his emotions at all, or at least they seem pretty plain to me. And it's super common to see him tenaciously hang on and desperately fight back to win from what sure looks like an awful position to me. "Oh no he didn't see the spire! He has nothing to counter the muta ball! His bases are practically bare of any defenses! Now what!?" (How often have I been in that position? I don't want to think about it.) Then he pulls it out and does that double fist pump and by then I'm right there with him. "Y E S ! Incredible job! Wow, I can't believe he pulled that off!" Yeah, I'll be watching that Showtime vs Serral vod next, and no, I don't think I'll find myself rooting for Showtime. Not that I have anything against Showtime, but. Serral's my hero at this point! Long live King Serral! May his reign be long and great.
I am a Protoss fan myself and i almost always root for Serral's opponents but it is GREAT to have players like Serral. People like him will improve every other player because those other players have to go up against this monster who really doesnt miss a beat. I think he might be the cerebrate from Sc1 first Zerg campaign...
The micro that special was pulling off in round 3 was godlike. He somehow was microing tanks, liverators, and ghost seeming all at the same time in a matters of seconds. I have a hard time being able to micro even just one of those units in an army, his army basically comsisted of just those three units. Incredible.
Saw who was playing and was like "yes please". these two are some amazing terran and zerg players and my prediction before i watch is that speCial will win but personally I want Serral to win. long live the zerg.
This female commentator has a history of mumble slurring and she still hasn't entirely broken away from it but this is a HUGE MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT compared to earlier commentaries from her, so props. Keep practising clear speech, ma'am. You're shaping up to be amazing.
52:54 THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE SERRAL LOOSING A HATCHERY BY NOT CANCELING BUT!!! As far as i understand by the looks of it, this was a multitasking mistake! I think he just gave the order to build the hatch and tenths of secs later he is looking else where! Still he has not lost a normal cancel on a hatch as, this was multy task effect, as i just said!
Goodness, I never thought about how much I would miss the regular group of commentators? Who are these two? Why don't I think anything they say is valid?
Le dio frio al serral cuando vio que un terran le podía ganar, por eso en la última partida buscó partirlo rápido, para que no se fuera a su late game donde ya le tomo la medida mi paisano special.
Not liking ZG == misogynist? Ugh. You don't know how that works. But anyway, I do like ZG myself, since long before this. I just get tired of constant, unwarranted accusations of sexism, racism, and other isms today - because of assumptions.
SERRAL IS GOD!!! AND HE DESERVES MOST OF THE CHEERS WHILE HE IS GETTING NOT SO MUCH, CONSIDERING THAT HE IS PLAYING AT A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LEVEL!!! HE IS SO GODLIKE! GUYS WHO CHEERS FOR OTHER PLAYERS ARE BRAVE AND WE NEED THOSE TOO BUT LETS NOT FORGET! SERRAL IS ON TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!
Lol, that prediction turned out well. Turns out, we just didn't know it yet though... This was the rise of the run for Serral, the first of consecutive WCS grand final wins, leading into him winning GSL vs the world vs the best Korean players at the time, to being what many consider to be the best player in the world now. I decided to track back to this first one, and it is interesting, how these casters are still doubting Serral at a number of points. The fear of Serral wasn't in existence yet :)
this special alwais doing this stupid start, hellion and stupid liberator to kill 2 drones at 7 min of game, alwais loosing with this strategy but still playing same haha. thats why he is alwais loosing ^^. to many failed games but he dont learn haha
I made it 30 minutes...don't use this female caster again. The guy kinda sucked as well but at least he didn't talk constantly about nothing in an annoying voice.
She's not horrible but I find her insights to be a little bit obvious and non descriptive. The chemistry between the two casters just doesn't seem to be there

Yegh, what a cringy post. From 4 years ago. Oh well.
Да пацан обычный классно играет...
watching this in 2022 is pure joy ! what a year for serral was 2018 !!!

intense match glad to see sc still goin hard
The female caster in particular is fantastic. She's so on point and I can hear how the games are playing out while doing chores. A++ casting
dude, relax. She's fine.
Game 1 10:31
if all i wanted to see was the game i would go play the game... im here for the show
Worthless Bottomfeeder
Not all heroes juice up on stim packs!
@@WhiteGravey Why bore people with your irrelevant opinion when others are trying to help each other?
Go sit on a baneling.
Why can’t we afford these two commentators for most matchups? They both know their stuff.
Dude, I never saw a battle like the one at 56:15 in my life. Amazing.
My mind was blown away when i realised that Serral defended that...
Tactically and technically impressive from both sides.
Hope you watch the final vs showtime. Some insaaaaane plays
Watch Bomber Scarlett at one Red Bull event I forget the year
Saw who was playing and was like "yes please". these two are some amazing terran and zerg players and my prediction before i watch is that speCial will win but personally I want Serral to win. long live the zerg.
This female commentator has a history of mumble slurring and she still hasn't entirely broken away from it but this is a HUGE MASSIVE IMPROVEMENT compared to earlier commentaries from her, so props. Keep practising clear speech, ma'am. You're shaping up to be amazing.
The female has a history of being female. Therefore, I as a nobody has to put her in her place because she's female.
Wait. Were nytus' not able to be damaged until they sprout back then? How was that considered balanced?
Idk, but I like the commentary.
Wut commentary is fine. Weirdos
Why is this not available in hd?
52:54 THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I SEE SERRAL LOOSING A HATCHERY BY NOT CANCELING BUT!!!

Zombiegrub came thru with that game knowledge. ❤
Zombiegrub has really upped her game the last couple of years, since casting with rifkin at Basetrade TV.
16:04 how he do that with the hellions? With conga follow?
They naturally do that through the squares.
the squares are considered terrain
Juanito es un terran muy guapo y de cartón, se desenreda el pelo con peine de marfil y aunque se de tirones no llora ni hace así 36:34
How does serral spread the multiple creep spores at the exact same time puts down like 4 or 5 instantly. This a macro or what?
Goodness, I never thought about how much I would miss the regular group of commentators? Who are these two? Why don't I think anything they say is valid?
Serral is just too much for all of them
What is the track at 04:20?
Smok weed everidae
orgullo mexicano! eso es todo mi major!
Ese gordo baboso debe dejar de comer y entrenar, asco. Dio penita
Anna is a great caster and easy on the eyes. I don't know what all the complaining is about.
when will wintersc go pro?
Never?
Le dio frio al serral cuando vio que un terran le podía ganar, por eso en la última partida buscó partirlo rápido, para que no se fuera a su late game donde ya le tomo la medida mi paisano special.
Exacto, Special es mejor en macro game, y Serral lo supo en la 3ra partida que perdió
Whoever that caster is I like her
Lotta misogynists in this comment section.
Not liking ZG == misogynist? Ugh. You don't know how that works.

nope
1:11:58 , poor observer trying to fetch the right button :D
Spore on minerals!!!!! Three spore on mineraaaaaaals! Seral!!!! Seraaaalll spore!
6:40 "bolth" heheh
Epic casting!!!
lol, just noticed that on blackpink theres a hologram of a nightelf dancing (42:42)
35:16 Lol.
Serril is the Swarm
SpeCial!
I wonder if Special's name is Ed.
Two really lackluster & annoying commentators, whats up with that monotone tone?
SERRAL IS GOD!!! AND HE DESERVES MOST OF THE CHEERS WHILE HE IS GETTING NOT SO MUCH, CONSIDERING THAT HE IS PLAYING AT A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LEVEL!!! HE IS SO GODLIKE! GUYS WHO CHEERS FOR OTHER PLAYERS ARE BRAVE AND WE NEED THOSE TOO BUT LETS NOT FORGET! SERRAL IS ON TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!
I think he has got what he wanted, also nice capslock.
Jesus christ zergs is so overwhelming
He got the GG!
special going to beat down showtime
Lol, that prediction turned out well. Turns out, we just didn't know it yet though...

Finally, a female caster. And, suprise, she's good!
Freaking misogynistic gaming community.
Пиши пропало... Булавку подержал у зрачка 1 час, Мы сьели по 2 бургера...
Serral is not zerg he is god. Zerg is need to be berf. If Serral is terran it will be more powerful.
Zerg OP
omg this is gonna be interesting
this special alwais doing this stupid start, hellion and stupid liberator to kill 2 drones at 7 min of game, alwais loosing with this strategy but still playing same haha. thats why he is alwais loosing ^^. to many failed games but he dont learn haha
Dam Zombie sucks...
P-P-P-Piker ? WTF
man these commentators are too fact fact fact. no banter, no chemistry, no humor, thumbs down
nah man that's what announcers do for dumb people
sorry not feeling the female voice. nothing personal, just don't like it :
When you need a women so desperately, you get a dull one
Zerg super overpowered
Oh my god the guy at 5:20 needs to be fired for making that special pun.. such cringe, not even funny.
amazing, pigs can play, also, what a horrible caster the woman, please put someone that understands the game
oh boy is that zombigrub casting a wcs semifinals? what has sc2 come to....so awfull caster
lycozur, she's done like, the last three or four events. Better get used to it, because she ain't going anywhere.
She is a fine caster.
Did you vote for trump
90% of sc2 casters are garbage these days. I don't understand why most of the casters for sc2 now are like trash level players.
rtc7788 couldn't agree with u more , aside from tastless and artosis I can't say I like any other casters
I made it 30 minutes...don't use this female caster again. The guy kinda sucked as well but at least he didn't talk constantly about nothing in an annoying voice.
female commentator's sharp voice very annoying :(
ugh, the way she says "map", so nasal
I like diversity, it has been a sausage fest.
I actually love hearing a female voice casting sometimes! :)
She's literally my favorite caster and bro put a shirt on you're just embaressing yourself
Triratna
Diversity is code word for white genocide.
she talks too much,,chill
you are right Ashlea
Spoken like a true mansplaining misogynist shitlord.
Seriously, how can you lose as terran. Just build helions. 3 helions, 15 drones instantly. Runby, win
Only lasted 15 minutes she talks too much
I do not root for Serral for the same reason i didn't like Neeb. Good god are they boring people.
The girl talks way too much...
GenAndrei I enjoy her commentary. I look forward to more of her work
Spoken like a true mansplaining misogynist shitlord.
awful casters
why?
i really like her, she is pretty on point, keep focus on the match, have a fine caster voice and rarely misses stuff ^^
She's not horrible but I find her insights to be a little bit obvious and non descriptive. The chemistry between the two casters just doesn't seem to be there
I like both of them, but they're newer casters so they should get paired with some of the more experienced peeps to get better.
Oh no! A woman and a foreigner! Heaven forbid!
They did just fine. They dont shout as much as the american casters, but I'm not averse to that.
Layton Miller Wardi is a newer caster????????? Sure.....
zerg is op blizzard please fix
Terran is overpowered not Zerg
Zerg is annoying-.- They can do everything man. Their units and buildings have such diverse options. Imba zerg is imba.
Oh, right, Zerg wins, again...
Zerg overpowered
Your mom's overpowered
Yep, we are.
Serral is overpowered
Serral is overpowered.
