Serral vs. Oliveira - ESL SC2 Masters: Winter 2023 Finals - Quarterfinals

[@michaelmart456]

The expectation you have watching Serral is just insane. If he doesn't win 3-0 perfectly, then you're legitimately surprised. You can tell he has those expectations on himself. Truly a class of his own

[@bobbobby8250]

When your arguably the greatest player of all time, playing the Zerg, the most broken, overpowered race since 2018, yea, it's expected.

[@evelic]

@@bobbobby8250 haha, get out of here.

[@vladimiryakunin8169]

Serral very often play very close series against top caliber players and moreover he's games often look like he's loosing most of time. So 3-0 is rarely happens in my opinion.

[@hidden105]

@@bobbobby8250well it was Zerg for awhile but now it’s Terran Not that it matters for Serral

[@mikeiscoo2]

@@bobbobby8250tell me you’re dumb without telling me you’re dumb.. Zerg isn’t op, Zerg has literally been nerfed AROUND serral.. Zerg has only looked op because of serral.

[@PhoenixCrown]

These two commentators have a good back-and-forth. Great video!

[@vickysetiawan5017]

How generous Serral is, he still gave one victory for his opponent

[@shin4655]

so that the arrogant kid won't face the gallows when he's back to the communist country for being a disgrace.

[@PerciVN]

That ling run-by counter in the final game was so nasty

[@samduong8889]

Lot of people do complaint about race, when SC is mostly based on players ability to perform multi-tasking and focus. Serral lost to Reynor quite alot when it comes to ZvZ, but Reynor lost to Pro T and P players. Serral learns from his mistake to counter future plays like widow mine lol. Couple years back, he lost due to that plays. Now, i don't see that hes having lot of trouble though. I enjoy good game from both opponents. Its about the thrilling progress. Not about win or lose though

[@marcelbenner993]

Then Clem beat him 3:1 in the Semis.. to me, statistically, Serral is clearly the GOAT. Most premier win tournaments, most World Championships won, highest winrate ever and not a single player he played against since 2015 has an even winrate vs him. Literally insane. But Clem is a monster in the making himself.

[@floorix9308]

Of course the race is unbalanced, Zerg was unbalance since 2011... Hots expac just unleashed the killing spree, protoss was the only race who could stop zerg back then and they are so nerfed it is not even funny last 7 years!

[@Guitareben]

​@@floorix9308maybe you just have a poor mentality and you blaming the race instead of skill is holding you back

[@katzenknuddeln]

it is so fun to watch serral play. gg.

[@Zamiroh]

I just wanted to say fantastic casting by zombie and stead. I also really feel esl put on a great event!!

[@mangatalk9263]

Lool this reminds me of a comment I saw: watching Oliveira playing that wooden tumble tower game with Cyan before this match made him even more nervous than watching this actual match😂😂😂

[@theculturedgentleman3699]

Serral! Impressive as always!

[@SnowsChen-fb6qz]

I believe at least now,no terran or protess player can beat serral,especially those best terran player,maru clem byun cure Oliveira……

[@businesscat9938]

He’s too strong

[@bekasiblis9540]

nah , they can beat serral but the ratio just like 1:3, every 1 win get 3 lost

[@julianbeatty2909]

Because zerg is the strongest race.

[@tranquochung1995]

ZvZ is his only weakenss

[@RomOne59]

With unbalanced zerg, it is easy for Serral

[@keep_walking_on_grass]

Some people think, that Serral might be extraterrestrial. And I understand that.

[@DOMiECATCH3]

Great game, well played 👏🎉

[@nberry02]

Olivera fan girl for sure… “spirit energy” ;)

[@derdegallo2651]

Espectacular 😮

[@brietoe]

Anyone know the artist for all the Christmas music they play between games?

[@DomagojŽupan]

Is it true that serral is serving army next year and hes out?

[@elementsar9668]

It's true that Serral is going to serve in the next April. Being out is up to him.

[@TTArt]

Yes he is starting military service next April, but in Finland military service system he can take some time off to participate in major events. He will have less time to practice and period of mandatory service during which he might not be able to participate in tournaments. But that should be only a few months so aside from maybe skipping some smaller tournaments I'd expect to see him back in all the big tournaments by the end of the year. So all in all he might be off / participating less for a few months next year, but it's not similar to South Koreans taking their military service.

MAXPAX !!! xD per videocall.

[@CarpathianWasteGroup]

not calling him Oliveira but Olivera is actually pisses me tf off.

[@phutureproof]

so what?

[@Kote79]

Can we mute the casters and listen to the game sfx only? Or just one caster? :P

[@panzfaust9812]

oliveira is outclassed here but then again its serral. If i take a shot of milk when hearing yeah and exactly from the casters, im not coming out from the bathroom. Quit with the constant agreeing and try to point out whats happening in the background not just on screen. jeez these casters

[@ryguy9933]

check out pig casting. I used to prefer these kinda casts, but now I can see how unknowledgeable and how undescriptive they are of actual gameplay. And stop taking shots of milk, shots are deserving of something else XD Have a glass of milk on your own leisure lol.

[@panzfaust9812]

@@ryguy9933 thank you! Cant be helped that big event style of casting is catered for the casual viewers, I get that. Unhinged mud slinging pig is fun and harambo should try offline casting in the future

[@1john-ze1ej]

As you watch game 2 you see olivera didnt outplay serral its all balance

[@Jaguar-lr7jq]

Blizzard need to nerf serral

[@gonrico]

God when I hear her voice time to mute

[@1john-ze1ej]

The game has been destroyed by the balance patch. Like seriously. It's like a player that's 100 levels lower who is Terran beats a top level zerg. I stopped watching because of it. Just seeing I'd it changed. Last patch was all Terran. Now its like pleb vs top their is no challenge tvz. Truly way to destroy the game guys

[@jackdaniels5595]

Nice troll bro

[@mikechan2942]

tanks suck against lings

[@sojourner3300]

With overpowered Zerg spell casters, no Terran has a good chance of winning. Terran race is simply too nerfed, made too cumbersome (too much micro-intensive) and mid/late game units that are just too slow to play well vs good Zerg. I mean, what other race requires 2 of its major units to always require siege/unsiege takes forever (tanks, liberator), have tracing that shows enemy how to simply avoid from getting shot at (libs, widow mines), it's spell casters have many weak spells that do no damage and are not very offensive oriented (raven, EMP) and that no on uses anymore (raven). Even the sole offensive spell casting, really the only useful spell was nerfed (snipe).

[@marcelbenner993]

If Terran has no chance of winning vs Zerg how did Clem beat Serral 3:1 in the Semis and beat Dark 4:1 in the Finals?

Hrmph. Well brood/infester takes skill? One EMP and ghost snipes wreck infester/brood. Just cause Serral is a god at what he does, does not prove your point XD. QQ more. How strong is 1 liberator in a mineral line? Take a walk.

Indeed… screams like a 🐽. I don’t understand why she is a caster with that type of mc skills.

Yt people love riding serral. Yeah he is good but come on he plays zerg the easiest race. And other zergs have beaten him. There is no BEST in starcraft.
