[@WereDictionary]

Yeah, looks like par for the course against Serral. You might get a sneaky hit in if you are lucky but when the surprise effect wears off he kinda ascends to a force of nature - specifically the plague of locusts.

[@urfasher]

When Winter rambled for a bit, and then said ¨time successfully filled,¨ I literally laughed out lout.

[@ShoopDaWhoop621]

Haha found it! 13:55

[@drews3980]

Just say LOL bro... 😂

[@diegomdobbs]

great games

[@wilshireanasurimbor3068]

I dont think I've ever seen serral lose a drone to reapers... that was 3!? Not sure if he was trying to play by braille or what, but I'm hoping he corrects whatever it was for the rest of these games.

[@JosepPi]

He did! He just created a build to beat that terran style. Looks like he really struggles with that terran opening.

[@MrCreed145]

Serral is drunk game 1. Seen a couple of these lately though. Great players giving good players a game, then smashing them. That army that Serral has end of game two probably has the highest potential of any army comp in the game but jesus christ you need to be made of 4 different AI to control it right.

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

“Ok, ok, I’ll play with the keyboard” moment

[@wedgeantilles8575]

Every other Zerg: "Serral, please drop a map, we can't survive more nerfs" After loosing the game: "You got your wish, am I now allowed to use both hands for the rest of the series?"

[@theomniscientopossum6350]

Serral! 🐐 On his route to the finals, he already demolished Maru, Byun, Dark, MaxPax, Gumiho, and others. Amazing run.

[@DiscipleofVenser1992]

Finally finished up the WoL achievement hunt Winter did and it's hilarious when he sprinkles in dialogue. That Kate Rockwell part had my face hurting from laughing.

[@aquagrunty101]

I will be watching this now, I didn’t know it was a thing but him commenting about whatever when fighting AI will must be a blast!

[@xcosmiccrunchx]

I don't want to come off biased, but there's a satisfying feeling when I watch the swarm gut an entire Terran ground army.

[@GameFuMaster]

not building ghosts in game 2 was pretty much the losing choice

[@lordgod9958]

Pretty sure going anything but bio is a losing choice lol

[@GameFuMaster]

@@lordgod9958 yeah, but bio also suffers a lot from just ling/bane overruns. Bio + blue bats + liberators IMO are the winning compo, maybe with vikings if they got brood lords

[@ironmonkey1512]

he didn't control them very well in game 3 not sure it would have helped

[@GameFuMaster]

@@ironmonkey1512 not being able to EMP psi units gives zerg a huge advantage.

[@KraffZava7350]

Great casting as always, so far your the best SC2 caster ive listened to lately. And catching you playing Starfield on twitch has been fun to!

[@Sianthris]

Amazing to see Serral underperform for once, beautiful game1!

[@denniscondon2897]

I’m getting older and my time is getting stretched thin. Still love SC2 and I’ll only spend this limited time on Winters videos because he’s quick witted and funny

[@Technoanima]

Planetary fortresses are fundamental in a Mech army. Because enemy units must commit significant resources to take it down.

[@AndrewBryanSapigaotarsonis]

Hey Winter, I apologize I accused you of watching the games before casting long ago. Predictive outcomes are also done by other casters and I guess there's really a way of predicting what will happen

[@strainex3703]

Winter I hope you cast serral vs byun aswell I know its ZvT with serral aswell but it was insane to see that series live I hope I get to see your take on it! much love

[@paulembleton1733]

The cheese worked, Cure didn’t try it again, Cure lost.

[@hugosantos7180]

[@ixcellquethone4893]

I love Winter's player cards when he's introducing. Very creative and funny! :D

[@Teal-c]

as a terrible player of sc2 and a noob i feel the infestor pain, i lost a game the other day with mass carrier and i thought the game literally lagged or i experienced a bug because my carriers dissappeared from my screen and gone on the minimap and my control group. took a while to realise they all died to infestors

[@Destructivepurpose]

The first time I encountered Infestors, I thought my opponent was hacking 😅

[@caprisoda9106]

[@dumbocow]

Serral is fking insane. Though Zerg might just be op. Crushed the three best KR terrans in the world. Crushed the current best KR zerg. Crushed the best EU protoss.

[@jesseweber5318]

I Wonder, a crazy thought to be sure, but, I think next video we outta up the anty, we outta shoot for the stars, aim for the Galaxy, Fire a Nuke into the enemies main base and hope they don't see. We outta set the bar to TWO more likes per video, and see if we can do it. It's lofty, possibly even foolish, but I think we can do it

[@enriquegarciacota3914]

You are describing a Dark game 😊

[@Death-gate]

Magnifying the mini-map was cool I'd like to see more of that

[@ShazbotDesign]

Serral best of 7! over 1:00:00! - "Hell yeah, where's the popcorn?" Thanks for doing best of 7's they're my favorite no matter the player really, unless it's just a 4 game stomp fest. Don't do those :P

[@blockboygames5956]

I love your continuous references to so many different pop culture things. "Serral is not shaken. He is not stirred." Great stuff.

[@Roguedeus]

I will watch every Serral game you cast...

[@floriangailliegue6760]

@WinterStarcraft Great vid as always :) At 1:20:10 though you are right about Serral's weakness being ZvZ, he still 3-0 Lambo and 3-1 Dark before 3-0ing MaxPax and Maru and droping 1 map to both Byun and Cure. Rather solid lower bracket performance ;)

[@prismaticbeetle3194]

serral is so good a bronze league player can destroy him XD he is like the asgard in SG1...they got so advanced that they needed the primitive humans to deal with the rpelicators.

[@Hellnation13]

he said biocurious lmfao

[@jennifer_dreamzzz]

That start, God damn 😬

[@Bobtheleprichaun]

I have binged these vids for 3 straight days while at work. I can't get enough of winter casting.

[@MrNeCr01]

Circles absolutely have, not just corners but sharp edges, all along the circumference of the 2D object. Spheres don't though.

[@TimmyInTarky]

Can't Cure use Ghosts? And why those Siege Tanks at all?? He killed more friendly stuff with them than else.. If those were more Tors and Hellions/"Firebats" would have been a more sound investment, no?

[@iceboyi]

how does cure not do medi drops when zerg has 6-7 expansions is beyond me. even just 1 medi on each side for distraction. Like what serral is constantly doing to Cure with lings. Good games though. hope Cure gets in next time!

[@ElysaraCh]

banelings are such a boring unit to watch. like, okay, marine splits are cool, but watching an entire army or an entire garrison evaporate instantly to one attack is so anticlimactic tbh. I understand the balancing behind them, but it's so awful seeing that when you're against Zerg you're just constantly teetering on the edge of one good baneling strike just ending the game. We're nowhere near the Winfestor-Broodlord comps from 10 years ago that virtually killed SC2 as an esport though, thankfully. Those games were absolute snooze fests.

[@markl.3528]

I'm a simple man, i see battlecruisers in the thumbnail i watch

[@phays10]

Apparently to win as zerg ypu a move and micro one unit. I have not seen a terran win vs late game zerg. Zerg is just boring to watch. A move repeat. Zzzzzzzz

[@grishy8203]

I feel like Winter showed that Maru vs Ragnarok series specifically to stop people from complaining about game 2.

[@Baleur]

13:40 damn he's so smooth

[@WolfGangDealers]

Man, ive never been this late before.. time is catching up to me, but here i am trying to keep up! Work won’t hold me back!

[@MikeTall88]

You missed the mindgames at 41:15, where he faked moving the starport to the tech lab, making the zerg expect banshees and built spores

[@johnnyq2486]

I know it's a grand finals, but can you reasonably call a Cure series "the most professional Starcraft 2"?

[@imposter8418]

sO LOST WHY RAVENS DONT DO AOE damage anymore but vipers can 1 shot splash most terran air

[@michaelsalvo8882]

Where did that second fungal come from at 18:03 game time? I watched it several times at 25% speed and couldn't see any infestor in range.

[@andywang1160]

My God….. only Serral can pull these moves off. When I do it, everything dies to tanks.

[@Microxz141]

I wonder why starcraft world championship is not all zerg players... other races is really bad at high rank match...

[@Gredddfe]

Proxy reaper into battlecruiser rush + Serral not having had his weet bix = Cure gets to take a game from this man who is a league above him.

[@LuvNWutIDoin]

I'm convinced that there isn't enough gas for mech (by itself) against Zerg.

[@ExtendedVersion]

Great cast... but soo tied of watching late tvz and t loose big time... There is no build or strategy to beat late z.

[@cmtgatox]

teran are donkeys, not use hard units, raven for identification, not use mothership, serral use all units all the time!

[@Jaysnipes]

Man i would of been doing drops & nydus at the same time to frustrate cure, while holding off his army.
