SC2 - Classic vs. Serral - ESL SC2 Masters: Summer 2023 Finals - Ro8

[@Zamiroh]

Serral is the reason I still come back and watch sc2!

[@Arazthoru]

Yep pretty much!

[@tomsule]

True

[@johndoe-ue9eq]

Maru and Serral 🔥

[@neloangelo__13]

Game 3 is an absolute nightmare for every Protoss player, being slowly eaten alive by the Swarm

[@mrc112]

When Serral has a bad day, he's still pretty good. When Serral has a good day, he is incredible and the best by far.

[@deguzie619]

The savagery of Serral! Thank you for the play by play POV camera, I would recommend more of that. Thank you.

[@Sparta-vu3jj]

WOW GAME 3! don't think I've seen a cost efficient zerg in a long time.

[@tankoteemusic9755]

Feels like Serral is there to entertain the crowd more than to finish off the opponent quickly. Champion.

[@visceraljourney]

That was not even close.. Classic desimated with confidence and style.

[@kyucklebeans]

This was a good old fashioned ass-whoopin’. For the first time in 5 years I actually felt bad for the Korean vs Serral. Totally outmatched.

[@Thulgore]

I want to see a competition where none of the competitors are allowed to play their main race. It wouldn't mean anything but it would be fascinating.

[@DiverDrive428]

Reynor is great with Protoss, he would probably have a decent chance

[@PuppetMasterdaath144]

creativity is not allowed in moon saturn archons realm

[@ZC.Andrew]

Who would win: Zerg Classic or Protoss Serral?

[@gochubattamugga]

@@PuppetMasterdaath144 Lol. Very creative reply on a SC2 game.

[@OnigoroshiZero]

Reynor would dominate.

[@yendayo]

It's insane that in game 3 despite shutting down his opponent so hard, one bad move and Serral could lose.

[@1gammis]

29:19 The fist bump - I'm so proud :) (That's us in my profile picture)

[@MonkeyDLuffy-gd6se]

that was cute glad the cameraman was so chill

[@ctwest3601]

So cool! What is brain, brain, brain, giraffe? (I was rooting for Classic too btw)

[@1gammis]

@@ctwest3601 its 3 brains for his team "twisted minds" and then it´s a leapard i think...like the killer of twisted minds....i think...sometimes i cannot keep up :D

[@ctwest3601]

@@1gammis Cool! Thanks for filling me in = )

[@DisillusionedAcronym]

i'm not a protoss fan but watching a large late game skytoss fleet just melts like the end of game 3 hurts my soul.

[@Anonymous-ks9xp]

When Classic gg'ed in third game he was at 30 supply vs 193

[@erik7271]

+ 80% of base destroyed O.o ...

[@aaronmoravek]

The game that knocks you out of the tournament is the hardest to come to terms with.

[@peonmyhall]

I feel like most serral games I see casted are just the commentators going "well his opponent might still have a chance if something crazy happens" after they fail to get more than two drones in the opening 3 minutes.

[@cccc7006]

Serral is like a modern day Simo Hayha. A rare, once-in-a-generation talent that became the most dominant figure in his field.

[@owlnsight3150]

I have never seen that stalker-colossus-disruptor win a single game, and yet protoss player loves it so much. It almost feels like they love to lose.

[@MAAJ1987]

Protoss is too micro intensive to be effective, protoss needs to micro stalkers, collosus with prism, shoot disruptors individually (if not do properly kill your own units), adding statis traps to allow retreat. While protoss is doing all that… a few banelings in the mineral line… that’s always how it ends.

[@MAAJ1987]

protoss could use some mines or banelings in its army 😢 #sad

[@heyho5940]

But the "needs to" can easily be turned around into a "can" micro. It's insane how much worth can be generated by strong micromanagement, and Protoss do have time to micro in between warp in cycles especially. The amount of times Protoss doesn't even have anything on the production tab is staggering as a zerg player.

[@OnigoroshiZero]

Nerf Serral, ban him from using both hands, and have someone slap him every few seconds. Betting on him winning against anyone is 100% accurate in the last few months, we are having a repeat of 2018, and that's with a race that has been nerfed to the ground.

[@ZC.Andrew]

Nerfed to the ground my ass!

[@raudelmesa108]

serral is a monster

[@Smoj_]

13:23 i did not know recalling units can still be pushed. That's so cute

[@Thulgore]

That was brutal.

[@MrFancyGamer]

game 3 felt like one of those nightmare games as a zerg where a terran keeps pulling u apart with drops and snipes except classic was the victim vs a zerg lmao

[@TheKimpa83]

game 3 talk about being dismantled and methodicly devoured

[@bluelemon2805]

GO SERRAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@benjamineidam]

Serral!!!!

[@MAAP2920]

Late game spelcasting like Serral

[@tyrellwreleck4226]

Stalker oracle zzz this is just the old way of playing toss. The reason why hero and maxpax gets very successful is because they don't let zerg build many hatcheries. You can only mitigate the zerg swarm by being aggressive and doing harassment. No matter how good is your micro, you can't win against an army with double your supply on different directions.

[@raudelmesa108]

beatifull late game in the match three

[@dregorerampin7439]

Is célia still alive? Je ne sais pas

[@nguyenduytung6860]

Protoss players on a suicide watch

[@raycastle8855]

why doesn't classic build photon cannons he would've prevent those banelings.

[@Sean-dt7iu]

Silly ash, serral is just the monster of all monsters 😂

[@bikernumber7180]

2023 still 1080p for a major gaming industry honestly I'd be embarrassed...

[@markjestonigarcia2003]

i bet Classic $999 trillion

[@DiverDrive428]

Classic is Flassic

[@rdcruick]

dude's a sicko

[@zeldamaverick]

I like how people are still pretending Zerg isn't incredibly imbalanced.

[@mdsc234]

Just play like Serral and have 500apm, no worries. For every 1 replay of Serral winning vs Protoss, there's 50 replays of protoss being imbalanced vs zerg.

[@OnigoroshiZero]

You misspelled Terran. Zerg is fine if not actually over-nerfed because of Serral, both Reynor and Dark are near the bottom of top 10 right now, and the only other Zergs in the top 10. Serral is just a God in this game, and no one is even remotely close to his level. Saying that the race is imbalanced because the GOAT destroys everyone, just shows that you don't know anything about the game.

[@MAAP2920]

Try to win Serral...would be fun....AND LOSE!

[@dregorerampin7439]

Come on I'm still waiting on you so we can meet each other

[@justinmagee2203]

dude seriously how has classic ever been invited to these matches? he plays like a decent player but not world champ contestant good sooo wtf? this makes no sense.

[@dragonflame4990]

so can they nerf zerg then?

[@PuppetMasterdaath144]

wish I could force serral to eat tons of food and take certain stuff, he could look so badass if he just gained actual muscle

[@fuzoolaadmi]

Protoss needs to be nerfed more.. maybe reduce storm radius.. or duration.. and vipers should be buffed.. spawn with full energy.. and reduce the spell cost to half..🤔 or maybe just remove protoss race entirely.. the way every protoss gets the floor wiped with his ass..😒

[@Andyusa11]

Nice balance pvz 🤣🤣

[@Jannatul.Firdaus.255]

its so sad to see your going even in a fight but zerg sends 10 banlings to kill 30 workers zerg is a joke man, cute to watch at first, but now its depressing (i dont play, i just watch)

[@WookofWallstreet]

I wish America could play this game but it's too sophisticated for them. You won't find Detroiters capable of playing this game in silver league 😅😅😅

[@Michursky]

but they are good at breaking into cars, everyone plays to his strenghts 🤣

[@WookofWallstreet]

@@Michursky lmfao BURN.. Americans are silly and have no guidance.

[@zimmerman1031]

I'd love to see you say that to someone from detroit.

[@WookofWallstreet]

@@zimmerman1031 first off it requires a pretty decent amount of time to train before you can even compete. 2nd it requires a decent computer. 3rd it takes alot of brainpower to think on your feet. 4th a large majority of people can't even play chess sooo. 5th you really can't play this game stoned. 6th it's not a game you can just pick up and play it's like learning a 2nd language and the demographics of people that speak 2 languages in detroit are slim. 7th detroit doesn't have a large computer gaming community.

[@Michursky]

@@zimmerman1031 luckily i will never come in contact with anyone from detroit 🙏

2й матч - просто избиение младенца 🤷‍♂️

[@nikolayfranuk5883]

Да там в третьей игре как будто не тосы имеют возможность харасить с разных направлений зергов, а всё наоборот, просто бесконечные нидусы и харас свармхостами )))

[@Andyusa11]

Zerg 1 click race

[@ashtonsmith9682]

Protoss can’t beat Zerg it’s even worse then tvp

[@orangepearlf40]

Again, back to the drawing board. Sc1 dynamics is hard to replicate. What happens in sc1 broodwar pvz? 1. 2 base toss can compete with a 3 base zerg. Toss can't move out and get a 3rd until strong enough with goon/reaver/ht, but mainly goon hts. Fast forward to sc2. 2 base toss can't compete with a 3 base zerg unless they do a successful 2 base all in. Go ahead and tell me has toss ever maxed out before zerg? Unfortunately, it should be impossible for toss to max out before the zerg unless the zerg makes a mistake. Max out as zerg on trash units (quantity over quality) then prevent toss from getting expansions is the name of the game for zerg. Easier said than done, but serral has mastered the swarm. Serral is zerg A.i.

[@cleangoblin2021]

​@@orangepearlf40excuses but im just an observer here and only watch these games of Serral. Yes he is the greatest but Z is really unfair. In game 1, he won by hitting drones with banelings in the midst of the chaos. It doesnt seem like theres a counter play to that. Toss dont have the creep that have vision. Classic was microing his brains out and it was amazing. Unrecoverable situation for other race. Zerg has inject larvae along with massive economy advantage, they can regenerate from something that devastating

[@orangepearlf40]

@cleangoblin2021 serral is imba he uses all the tools of the swarm to cripple toss to the ground. I'm a toss player but I do admire serrals zergness. He has mastered it so well it literally makes zerg look OP 😆.

[@atrudokht]

nah, it's just Serral who makes Zerg look like broken race

[@DmytroBogdan]

Somebody change the caster already his pronunciation is terrible, like chewing those words and spitting them out

[@ashtonsmith9682]

If zerg loses to Protoss the zerg player needs to find a rope

[@OnigoroshiZero]

Stop crying and learn to play. At the highest level Protoss is stronger vs Zerg, and Terran is just Cheat Mode against both. Saying that Zerg is too strong because Serral wins, when he is by far the best player in the game with no one even remotely close to his level is just stupid.

[@atrudokht]

nah, it's just Serral who makes Zerg look like broken race
