Great replay, nice late games. Gotta give respect to the interviewer at the end.. Serral is giving fairly detailed answers, which she repeats in Korean without notes (in, I assume, entirety). Good job (to all)!

[@acezafra216]

should you defend against harassment? attack and try to damage his economy? drone up to have a good economy? focus on spreading creeps? or make lots of units? serral: Yes.

[@ChillButter]

@1:13:20 I think the mule was a bait by TY for the locust to all land, rather than a mistake

Both players are good. But serral: Even when he loses he still looks good. Down 1/2 the army supply and still almost holds. Games this past month have been off the chain from all pro players.

[@jeepld]

Skye this just proove a fundamental dis balance advantage for zergs atm. It should not happen normally. Serral is very talented, no doubt. But no gamer should be able to almost hold/win with half the army supply. I love zergs, but they are atm obviously broken.

Time played terribly. Time doesn't know how to use mech, yet he gave soO such a hard time and then defeated him in the end. I watch a lot of starcraft (and these casters watch even more) and i'm 100% convinced that no other zerg could've held those pushes.

[@frontier64]

mule at 1:13:30 was to potentially trigger the locusts if they weren't move commanded already. Serral had already made that mistake before so Ty was trying to take advantage of it.

[@hhhhippo]

Listening to Tasteless cast good Starcraft is like going to an awesome restaurant and having the server not know anything about the menu. Me: 'Can you tell me more about this special crust on the Salmon? Tasteless: 'Sometimes people put crust on Salmon, to add flavour.' Me: 'Uh okay, yeah I get that, but is it lemon heavy, or a little more sweet?' Tasteless: 'Salmon is a fish that lives in the ocean, and you can see here that we have it on the menu' Me: 'That's okay, I'll just order on mute'

[@RobinLundqvist]

yup! even T-1000 could be killed but it wouldn’t be easy.

[@chrisxd146]

Game 4 is a prime example of why some Korean players believe TY is one of the only few who can truly beat Serral going toe to toe.

[@peterchui1964]

You're right TY is definitely up there. But unlike innovation he cannot get a win with his late game alone, hence he has to resort to his mix up in builds (only then does he go 3-3 against serral).

[@NamNguyen-ti3bw]

Zerg has too much tricks. Even when Innovation or Maru play with a skillful Zerg like Serral in a very late game like this, they still have small chance to beat good Zerg players (we can look at history). Perhaps, Blizzard have nerf infestor or viper or give Seeker Missile back to raven to kill infested Terran herd or mass zergling/baneling. Terran and Protoss need some tricks to again Zerg at late time. Zerg's viper can hook, and infestor can cast neural parasite on a Mothership is ridiculous. Cheer.

[@NamNguyen-ti3bw]

[@hosackies]

They definitely need to nerf zerg, so many late game units with massive aoe damage, fungal, parasitic bombs, swarm host. And terran only has a nuke that never hits anything, even brood lords can run away from those things.

[@glr4764]

You are totally forgetting Raven missle AoE damage and Siege tank AoE damage that really out strips any Zerg splash damage. Brood lords can be sniped by Ghosts. Seriously watch Maru vs Serral semifinal from last year. Insane usage of Raven's and ghost by Maru in game 1 of that series to come back he went down to 4 scvs at one point. In general Maru's usage of ghosts and nukes in that series against Serral was off the wall and was a big part of how he 3-0'd him.

[@TheVanillatech]

People in comments talking about who is best ... ANY of the top 50 players in the world can win a tourney on any given day. In fact you can 4-0 someone with each game ending in 3-4 minutes simply by blindly picking the "correct" tactic (cheese) and it not being scouted or countered. 30% of all matches are based on luck, 70% on skill. That's just RTS in general. It's what makes it exciting.

[@erbol8116]

More 5% luck and 95% skill, cheese suck at pro level, they can deflect almost every cheese , and the scout is so on point, so rare to win a bo5 with full cheese

[@David-sd6jx]

@@jetic4293 As well as instant death from GG Lordz above

[@YayoLife]

In the context of early and mid-game: You need ghosts to sap the queen's energy when against Serral. I don't intend to simplify what I know to be complicated but my thought is for Terran to build incomplete Engineering Bays as wall against Serral's very much expected flanks. Small investment for the potential reward of #1) increasing you army's chances of survival, 2) maintaining your position, 3) being more cost-efficient. Long game: if you combine the abilities at Zerg's disposal, it really looks like Zerg is OP. But any small tweaks you give Terran could potentially make them OP in short-mid game so really.. Nothing you can do. Terran just has to finish the game earlier when things are more evenly matched or just lose out against someone like Serral.

[@RollerDerbyHigh]

nerfing infestors would help terran late game

[@YayoLife]

@@RollerDerbyHigh I think the mind control duration and/or damage output should be greatly reduced and/or abilities are disabled. During the mind control (of say, a Battlecruiser), not only do you lose up to 8 supply per control [imagine 8 Battlecruisers at a time], Zerg increases their army size by the same amount. To make matters worse, your own unit is killing you - and then all this while Zerg is able to either attack you as a combined force with your own units and use your units' abilities against you - not to mention fungul which makes your army pretty much sitting duck. If they have not or chose not to completely demolish you already, they can simply pull your units to their side and massacre them. Either way, as a Terran/Protoss, you are very screwed if against someone with same skill level as Serral in the late game. One other thing I'd like to point out, the freaking nukes duration to land was designed for newbies. Should shorten it even just 2 seconds... Make them land with true damage for once.

[@idzik28]

nothing you can do is all there is to it. remember kerrigan beat artanis, mengsk, and the ued ALL AT ONCE! kerrigan beat a freaking xel'naga god for Amon's sake! zerg is clearly the best race. we should stop fighting eachother and team up against them. Wipe this infestation out!

[@mercurial4854]

That's why Terrans such as myself will never take a prolonged fight on creep and would get ready for a quick evac when I face zerglings. And these aren't just regular lings. They're Serial lings that can flank, surround and pretty much outnumber Terrans very quickly.
